Ep 6. Na pilikua nui (Monsters)

Steve McGarrett, played by Alex O'Loughlin, and his elite task force continue their crime-fighting mission in Hawaii Five-0 season 6 episode 6, titled "Na pilikua nui" (Monsters). In this episode, the team investigates a series of murders that led them to a mysterious cult whose leader believes in ancient Hawaiian folklore and legends.

The team initially believes that the murders are related to organized crime, but as they dig deeper, they uncover a more complex and disturbing story. The cult-like group, known as the "Order of Ke Ali'i Pu'upau," is led by a charismatic leader who claims to be a descendant of a powerful Hawaiian god. They practice a perverted form of ancient rituals, including human sacrifice, in order to gain power and control over the islands.

As the team tries to unravel the atrocities committed by the cult, they run into a local activist, who warns them about the dangers of dealing with the supernatural. The activist believes that the gods of Hawaii still hold great power and that meddling with them will only bring destruction and chaos.

The team is torn between their rational and logical approach to solving crimes and the possibility that this case might involve something beyond their understanding. Meanwhile, Steve faces personal demons as he is haunted by memories of his father's murder and the unresolved feelings surrounding his death.

As the investigation continues, the team finds themselves in danger as they confront the cult members and their leader. It becomes clear that the cult is willing to do whatever it takes to preserve their power, and the team must use all their skills and resources to stop them.

Throughout the episode, the team must work together to not only solve the murders but also protect the people of Hawaii from the dangerous and unhinged cult. The tension is high as the team races against time to stop the cult from committing the ultimate sacrifice, and the stakes are even higher with Steve's personal involvement in the case.

"Na pilikua nui" (Monsters) delivers a thrilling and intense episode that explores the intersection between modern crime-fighting and ancient rituals and lore. The episode showcases the team's perseverance and dedication to protecting the people of Hawaii while also delving into the personal struggles and demons that haunt them.
