The pilot for the series began with a two hour episode. The first sight of the original Hawaii Five-O series starts off watching a man in a pool completely controlled. The cocoon is perhaps the most diabolical form of torture. The person has no sight or hearing. He breathes only through tubes. He is suspended in a red suit with the most horrific mask. Leonard Freeman began this series with a smart troubling plot. I'm sure that was a mannequin in the pool. Before the opening credits, they unmask the man who is in obvious pain. The audience doesn't get to hear him scream but viewers can only imagine his sheer horror. The cocoon is what Jack Lord's character, Steve McGarrett,called it. Jack Lord was a very handsome man. Lord and his widow left their estate to Hawaii.
