That Way and This Way Shifts the Sand of Punahoa (Ne'e aku, ne'e mai ke one o Punahoa) is the 8th episode of Season 10 in the remake version of Hawaii Five-0.
Synopsis[]
Five-0 teams up with a DEA agent to search for a killer whose plane crashed in the jungle with $100 million worth of heroin on board. Also, Grover is thrilled when his niece Siobhan comes to try out for the University of Hawaii basketball team.
Plot[]
Five-0 investigate the hijacking of a medevac helicopter. Quinn and Tani manage to track down an address from a burner phone he bought.
They and Steve arrive at the address where they find DEA agent Richie Gormican, who is looking for the same culprit whose name is Ben Tam. Tam was on a small plane carrying $10 million worth of heroin, which they also learn is connected to Sam Bishop, Wes Cullen's associate.
Adam and Junior, along with Eddie, search the jungle and find the plane and the heroin. McGarrett's suspicions about Gormican are proved when Five-0 learn that he was suspended by the DEA, had worked with Tam, and is in the middle of completing his drug deal with a Serbian gang.
Separately, Lou's niece, Siobhan, comes to visit Hawaii to enroll for a basketball scholarship at the UH, but concerns of her past dealings with a gang in Chicago raises concerns. Lou later discovers that Siobhan had always wanted to be a cop since she was five years old and that she had saved a friend at school from a gang member, which was why she was expelled. At the hospital, Sam Bishop, who remains unconscious, is murdered.
