Ep 5. Nalowale

In Hawaii Five-0 season 1 episode 5, titled "Nalowale," the Five-0 task force investigates the disappearance of a young woman named Lisa Heller. The woman's car is found on the side of the road with her phone and purse still inside, but there is no sign of Lisa anywhere. When the team begins looking into her past, they find that Lisa was a troubled youth who had been in and out of juvenile detention until she aged out of the system at 18.

As they dig deeper, they discover that Lisa had been staying in a halfway house for troubled teens. The owner of the house, Reverend Palekai, is known for taking in kids who have nowhere else to go and giving them a second chance. However, when the team starts questioning the reverend, they find that he has a dark past of his own. He was once known as "The Wolf," a notorious drug dealer and pimp who preyed on vulnerable young women.

Further investigation leads the team to a nightclub where Lisa had been working as a hostess. The owner, Sal Kapu, denies any involvement in her disappearance, but the team suspects he knows more than he's letting on. Meanwhile, Kono (one of the Five-0 team members) poses as a hostess at the nightclub to gather more information.

As the investigation heats up, the team discovers a pattern of disappearances that all seem to lead back to Reverend Palekai and his halfway house. They fear that he may be using the troubled teens he takes in for criminal purposes.

The team's pursuit of the truth puts them in danger, and they must use all their skills and resources to unravel the mystery of Lisa's disappearance. Along the way, they uncover secrets and unexpected connections that threaten to upend all they thought they knew about the case.

"Nalowale" is a fast-paced and tense episode that keeps the viewer guessing until the very end. It is a testament to the Five-0 task force's determination and resourcefulness in the face of difficult and complex situations. With its intriguing storyline and strong performances, "Nalowale" is a standout episode in the first season of Hawaii Five-0.
