What Season 9 of Hawaii Five-O

The season opens with Steve McGarrett, a former Navy officer and detective captain appointed by Governor Paul Jameson, leading an elite team based in Oahu. Danny Williams, Chin Ho Kelly and Kono Kalakaua work alongside him, and the unit answers directly to the governor. Each case forces them to move between the capital and the rest of the archipelago. The main conflict comes with Wo Fat, who steals toxins to attack leaders of Communist China and leads McGarrett to Hong Kong. Along the way, they face a robbery during a celebration, illegal plutonium in a volcanic crater, and murders of prostitutes tied to an extortionist.
