McGarrett stops David Toriyama (James Saito) from killing Ezra Clark (Jack Axelrod), a Pearl Harbor veteran. Toriyama claims that Ezra murdered his father, James Toriyama in 1943 following the internment of Japanese American citizens, including the Toriyama's, in order to steal the family katana, despite the official record that David's father was killed by a fellow internee. Five-0 decide to investigate the claim, where they learn that there was a cover up of the events, but Ezra was not responsible for the murder, now suspected to have been committed by Joseph Archer, a career criminal who had since died. After exhuming James' body, they find a ballistics match to Archer's weapon, and they also find the katana in his grandson's home. When the katana is finally returned to the Toriyama family, David recounts to Steve how he knew the latter's grandfather, who was killed during the Pearl Harbor attack. The episode ends with a dedication to "the Greatest Generation...and all those who fight for our freedom."
