Titled "E 'Imi pono (Searching for the Truth)," episode 15 will feature an appearance from Captain Philip's Barkhad Abdi. No longer a Somali pirate, Abdi will now take on the role of a Congolese warlord, a la Kony.

Camped out in Hawaii, the baddie will stir up trouble when an investigative journalist turns up dead. Five-0 will pick up where the deceased research left off in order to quickly suss out the well-hidden villain.

"He plays basically Kony, that African warlord who was in the news a few years ago," said executive producer Peter Lenkov in regards to Abdi's character, according to Entertainment Weekly. "He plays a character like that hiding on the island here, and somebody discovers that he's here. And our guys end up confronting him. It's a big, big episode. We were so lucky to get him, and we wrote it with him in mind. We were able to get him to the island and that was a big coup for us."

The episode will also feature the return of Danny Williams (Scott Caan). Williams was absent from last week's episode, apparently taking a trip back to N.J. for an old case, but Danno will be back in paradise as the new mystery unfolds. However, he'll be a little preoccupied by his fatherly duties as Grace begins to text a boy.
