Ka 'oia'i'o ma loko (The Truth Within) is the 3rd episode of Season 4 of the 2010 remake version of Hawaii Five-0.

Synopsis

When a young, wealthy couple are found murdered in their home, the team enlist the help of a conspiracy theorist, who is also an old school friend of Chin's, to help them solve the two killings while Catherine prepares to retire from the Navy for good.

Plot

Married couple Kaylea and Phillip Van Horn are found murdered in their swimming pool, and evidence points towards a professional hit. They later find that one of their artifacts, an emblem of the Royal League, a disbanded secret society, of which Phillip's great-great-grandfather was a member, is missing.

The team turns to Jerry Ortega, an old friend of Chin Ho and a conspiracy theorist. He suggests that the killers wanted the emblem as "the key" to find rings smuggled from Italy that are hidden in Hawaii. Jerry later believes they are hidden in one of the Kamehameha Statues.

Further investigation turns to Ellis Gregory, a mercenary whose team paid Phillip's brother for access to his house.

One of the statues is discovered to have been replaced with a look-alike. After the mercenaries are found in a museum to recover a key, Five-0 arrive and arrest them. Later, the rings are indeed found under the foot of the recovered statue.

The team later celebrates Catherine's retirement.

• Jerry Ortega, an old school friend of Chin Ho Kelly, is introduced.
• Catherine leaves the Navy and Steve does not wear his uniform during the ceremony. It is not stated if she retires, goes into the reserves or simply turns in her letter of resignation.

Danny Williams: Oh, that's nice. You got a personal shopper now.
Steve McGarrett: Why you got to be like.. What, are you jealous now?

Steve McGarrett: Band camp?
Chin Ho Kelly: Yeah.
Jerry Ortega: Remember how tiny those tents were?

Jerry Ortega: (sighs) Good times.
(Chin laughs gently)

Steve McGarrett: Thank you, Chin. It's a good start. You got a better idea?
Danny Williams: No, I don't, but just because some whack job says that Jimmy Hoffa's buried under Giants Stadium does not mean you go digging up the turf. No offense, Jerry.
Jerry Ortega: None taken. Hoffa's not buried under Giants Stadium. He's under the runway at LaGuardia.
Steve McGarrett: There you go.
