The sheer charisma of Montalban is there in every scene however the casting of him is way off. I too thought the actor was 'Dr. No' due to the eye makeup, but the smooth diction of Ricardo corrected that belief in 15 seconds flat ! The more I see of him the more I like.
That death on the witness stand is THE first time I've seen that portrayed. I was fooled into believing it was a ploy to cast doubt on her testimony. Good catch, McGarrett !
And yes the last three minutes show just how tight a script can be written. Nice job. 6/10.
