History TearJerker / HawaiiFive0

* "Ina Paha". Good lord. Steve is tortured and drugged by Wo Fat (for information he doesn't have), said drugs making him hallucinate an AlternateUniverse where his father is alive. After he kills Wo Fat and his team rescues him, the first thing he asks Danny is where his father is. After Danny gently reminds him his father died four years ago, Steve [=McGarrett=], MadeOfIron, {{Determinator}}, and all around badass, ''breaks down and sobs''.

** When he returns to his hotel after testifying, he goes into the bathroom and turns on the faucet so that his can neither see or hear him crying over what he's lost.

-->'''Matt Haley:''' [[NotSoDifferent Then you know.]] ''(Chin subtly nods)'' Hate corrodes the container it's carried in. I've carried that hate around with me for 20 years. I never remarried, never had the family I dreamt of with Jess. That night changed me.

* "I Ka Wa Mamua". Danny has a father-daughter dance with Grace in the evening, but while on duty, he and Steve are after a bomber. When they catch up to him, Danny mentions that he would like one moment with Grace not affected by his job, then says the last 10 years of his life has been "borrowed time". Flashback to the morning of 2001 when Danny, having just found out that he was going to be a father; and his then-partner on Newark PD, Grace Tillwell, raid a drug warehouse. (Just like Steve, she also preferred to drive Danny's car herself.) They were spotted by the drug pushers. The story cuts short when Steve and Danny chase the bomber on foot, and shoot him dead. However, just then, a motion sensor triggers on Danny and he would have to stay completely still. To distract him, Steve asks him to continue the story. Danny and Grace were tied up in chairs and tortured by the bad guys. After they beat Danny a lot but he still wouldn't tell them anything, one of the thugs [[WouldHitAGirl hits Grace after she spits on him]]. Then they beat Danny a bit more, but he still won't reveal any information. Then, one of the bad guys shoots Grace with his Desert Eagle, then he picks up a meat cleaver. Danny tries to buy for time, telling him they're surrounded, as the bad guy is about to slice off his arm. However, just then, sirens are heard outside. As the other guy leaves to check it out, Danny manages to break free from the chair and shoots the bad guys dead. Cut to outside, where police cars (also firetrucks and ambulances) are speeding past the warehouse. Danny runs out and tries to flag down a car, but not a single one of the cars stops. Danny then looks to see [[September11Attacks a huge cloud of smoke in the skyline]].
