My friend Nicholas Carras scored one episode of the show, but he had a whole bunch of reel-to-reel tapes for the show at his home. I thought he might have been musical director or something -- couldn't figure out why there were so many tapes. Have no idea where they are now.

He's next up in the next post (Thursday). MV said they could not find any tapes, so you've not only found tapes for his score, but possibly other composers.

Continuing SEASON 9:




"The Killing Truth" (10)
By: Nicholas Carras
https://ok.ru/video/7141052189303
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8ey2hf

This is the only effort by Carras for the series.

Highlights:
  • 12:05 in. Short intro cue.^
  • 12:37 in.^
  • 17:17 in.^
  • 31:32 in.^
  • 36:23 in.^
  • 38:31 in.^
  • 48:36 in. And the cue after the commercial break.^

    While the score had its moments and services the episode well enough, I feel that Carras wasn't quite right for the show.

    This score -- according to his IMDb credits -- marked his final work. I couldn't find his cause of death, but one site says he passed away peacefully at his home, so presumably it was natural causes. He was 84 years old when he died in 2006.

    I prefer to think this is Wo Fat hiding under a fake name, who once again escapes death. And I prefer to think he got away while en route to court or prison.

    "Die in the country -- it's healthier."

    (Score: 0:00/1:47/12:31/18:04/26:08/34:41/38:20/40:38 [from "End of a Nightmare" score].)



    "Survival" (final episode)
    TRACK JOB
    https://ok.ru/video/5518723517069

    (Identify: 3:37, 8:00, 13:56, 17:08, 19:26, 25:12, 29:39, 31:00, 36:44, 38:21, 42:24, and 46:36)



    And with that, the show was cancelled. I did a fairly quick look online to see if I could find a reason for cancellation, but did not find any specific reason. The final season, while the lowest number of episodes of any season and a stupid casting change were main differences, the series still had the highest ratings it ever had. Writing, plotting and scoring were nearly as good as they were (sometimes on par) with the glory days of season four; the show could have easily gone longer. I suspect, based on information online, that the trust in the F.B.I. at the time was at a low, and Hoover had tried to get it cancelled seven times -- perhaps he succeeded in an unknown eighth time, wanting to protect the F.B.I.'s image (I think this show actually helped it, but hey, what do I know).

    It's Wo Fat with one O. Woo Fat is probably his more competent sister left sulking in Peking helplessly watching as McGarrett thwarts her brother again.... (I'm surprised Mao let him try again and again...)


    EDIT: The typo's been corrected but my point still stands.

    Edited.

    I was too wooed by Wo Fat.
