Obviously Mr. Kaye is being blackmailed by Wo Fat. Which I believe was happening on the reboot with Wo Fat and Governor Pat Jameson, but the writers never delved into that. In Mr. Kaye's case, maybe Wo Fat threatened to tell interested parties that Kaye was a communist. As for Pat Jameson, maybe Wo Fat knew a secret from her past, such as a teenage pregnancy? Not something anyone in a position of power would want revealed.

The episodes with Wo Fat were all masterfully convoluted plots, playing out the same as a classic spy drama!!

In real life hostile foreign governments have used hostages and political prisoners to get something in exchange for many years and still do. This is indeed a very realistic scene.

Andrew Duggan's wife of 35years Elizabeth Logue was such a perfect beauty. They both lived happily ever after, two beautiful people living beautiful, faithful, scandalfree, adulteryfree lives as beautiful as themselves and she survived him by just one month. RIP unforgettable Hawaii 5-0 opening credits beauty.

The reboot Wo Fat was extremely menacing. Hats off and massive respect to these guys though. They were there first.
