While Junior and Tani are at an opera show they witness a murder-for-hire hit on a Chinese triad leader. Steve and Danny engage in a firefight with the hitman but he escapes. Adam finds out that a woman at a bar asked as if anyone had seen the suspect and leaves a phone number. They track the phone number and find Quinn Liu, a staff sergeant with

for insubordination, who informs them that two military veterans had recently gone missing. At a local hospital the stolen car was found along with a trail of blood leading to a doctor's parking spot who didn't show up for work. The doctor's car is tracked to a warehouse where Five-0 along with the Honolulu Police Department (HPD) plan to raid but the hitman commits suicide before they can arrest him. Upon searching his phone they find out he had an accomplice who plans on carrying out more hits. Adam gets a meeting with Yakuza leaders in an attempt to find out who could possibly be behind the hits. The hitman's accomplice attempts to carry out the hit on Masuda, one of the leaders. When HPD backup arrives the partner escapes without performing the hit. Quinn later shoots and kills him when he attempts to perform a final hit. At Kamekona's shrimp truck Steve informs Quinn that the District Attorney decided not to pursue charges due to lack of evidence and Steve asks her if she would be interested in pursuing the case further with him which she accepts. Also, Jerry informs the team that he decided to move on from Five-0 to write a book that he didn't want to put off until it's too late. At Steve's house an unknown figure is seen putting a small explosive in Steve's "Champ" tool box that had belonged to his father John.
