Plot

Picking up in after the events from the last episode, aboard a Hawaiian Airlines flight above Honolulu a dad is sedated and forced to jump out of a plane along with his kidnapper. Back at Steve's house, Danny and Junior are having to collect Kamekona's investment money after Eddie, McGarrett's dog, digs it up. The Five-0 Task Force is called in to investigate a reported explosion aboard the flight. The FAA is able to use the plane's black box to determine exactly where the jump took place. The victim is revealed to be Jack Teauge.

Tani visits Captain Keo, her old HPD instructor, to ask him to run ballistics on the gun she found in Adam's house. Keo however, turns her down because he doesn't like doing things off the books. Jerry and Junior are able to narrow the possible landing zone to eight square miles. With the landing spot being dense jungle, using satellite imaging, Jerry filters out the color green and is able to find the parachute. Danny, Tani, and Junior begin pursuing the kidnapper and Teauge and find the kidnappers body.

When Lou searches through security footage from Honolulu International Airport he finds that Agent Miller, Greer's partner was waiting at Teauge's departure gate. After looking through his computer, Jerry finds that Teauge is actually a Chinese spy. Steve and Lou visit Miller to ask him why he was waiting for Teague who informs them that Teague is really a double agent working for the CIA. Danny, Tani, and Junior find a CIA Special-ops team that was hunting Teague murdered in the jungle and find out there is also a Chinese spy team looking for Teague.

The three then engage in a shootout with the Chinese. They also find and arrest Greer who was working with them. Danny continues pursuing Teague who gets away from him. Miller is able to pick up Teague. However, the Chinese who had tapped his phone shoot and kill Miller and re-capture Teague. The Five-0 team track the Chinese spy team managing to arrest the remaining member and rescue Teague.

Keo visits Tani at her house and tells her that he'll run the ballistics. Steve hands Greer off to the CIA or transports her off the island.
