An assassin who doesn't know he's an assassin? Sounds like a punch line from "The Naked Gun," but it's the story of this episode, where a diplomatic courier with a briefcase chained to his wrist is hypnotized and programmed to rig the case with a bomb. When Danno goes undercover to ferret out the assassination ring, he himself is brainwashed and programmed to kill McGarrett.

The show’s own verdict is on its page.
