In "Ha lalo o ka ili" (Beneath the Surface), Hawaii Five-0's detective team investigates the disappearance of a young woman. The girl, named Sierra, went missing after attending a beach party with her friends. As the team closely examines Sierra's social media accounts and interviews her acquaintances, they discover that the missing teenager was involved in a dangerous game.
The game involves young people challenging themselves to perform risky stunts and dares and posting their exploits online for likes and views. Sierra's last known video shows her jumping off a cliff into the ocean in the midst of a storm. Her friends claim she was just having fun, but the detectives suspect there may be more to the story.
The investigation takes a dark turn when the team uncovers a group of adult thrill-seekers who have been encouraging young people to participate in this risky game. They appear to be enjoying the attention they receive from the videos while ignoring the potential danger they are putting others in. The detectives must race against time to find Sierra before she becomes another victim of this dangerous game.
Meanwhile, Danny (played by Scott Caan) struggles to balance his work duties with his family obligations as his daughter's school holds a father-daughter dance on the same night as a critical investigation. He faces a tough choice between being there for his daughter or pursuing justice for the missing girl. As the investigation unfolds, Danny realizes that there may be a way to accomplish both goals.
The case takes another unexpected turn when the detectives discover that Sierra's disappearance may be linked to a larger criminal organization. The team must navigate through a web of corruption and deceit to bring the culprits to justice and find Sierra before it's too late.
In "Ha lalo o ka ili" (Beneath the Surface), the story explores the dangers of the online world and the societal pressure to pursue dangerous stunts for social media fame.
