Harry Brown (William Forsythe) shows up again. He’s been shot, and Magnum (Jay Hernandez) blames himself as he was the one who passed the case on to Harry. A Bullet Named Fate was written by Neil Tolkin from a story by Scarlett Lacey and Tolkin and it first debuted on 22 November, 2019.

Magnum, Higgins (Perdita Weeks) and Katsumoto (Tim Kang) converge on the hospital to check on Harry, and trade information and Magnum is increasingly troubled that the case he shared led to all of this. Magnum begins his own investigation even though Katsumoto tells him Harry is ex-HPD and they’ll take care of it.

Magnum and Higgins dig through the leads they find in Harry’s car and find that it ties in with the probate case Magnum gave him. But is there more going on here? As usual, there certainly is, and Magnum and Higgins really aren’t ready for the reveal, which seems to include a child being held, chained, in a shed! With murder and more, will Magnum, Higgins and Katsumoto be able to find the missing child before something terrible happens?

The heiau arc with Kumu (Amy Hill) continues as she leads a protest against the developers attempting to continue to work on the land. T.C. (Stephen Hill) goes to join them representing the rest of the group while they work the case. When the police show up to remove the peaceful protest are things going to take a dark turn, or is the episode just making a comment on indigenous rights?

Yes, it’s definitely an important commentary on indigenous rights, and how they affect everyone.

Both stories in the episode are well-written and executed, and I quite like seeing Kumu in the limelight.

Blood Brothers was directed by Peter Weller, and was written by Peter M. Lenkov and Eric Guggenheim, the showrunners, so you know this one is going to be important for the characters. It first aired on 6 December, 2019.

Thomas is having flashbacks to his tour of duty in Afghanistan after he helps Nuzo’s (Domenick Lombardozzi) brother, Paulie (Louis Lombardi) look for a now-grown Ahmed (Mohit Gautam), who as a child (Yihya Eldein) was partially adopted by the group. It seems Ahmed may be a victim of trafficking.

It’s going to involve a lot of trouble, and not just skirting international laws, but violating them. But they feel they owe Paulie, and that Ahmed deserves a better life. There’s a lot of positive messages here, and a lot that may bother some of the more conservative, or republican-minded types, but it’s an important tale about wanting to find a better life, something everyone should have access to.

A solid tale, one that explores the characters’ past in the service again, and their determination to do right by those they care about.

There is more sun and adventures to come next week as I explore more of Magnum P.I. – The Complete Series on DVD, available now from Paramount Canada. Aloha!
