Death Wish on Tantalus Mountain ***
Original air date: 9/19/72
Ricardo Montalban makes up for his wretched performance in #4, Samurai, with his portrayal in this episode of the egomaniacal racing car driver Alex Pareno, who arrives on Oahu with the intention of breaking the hill-climb speed record on Tantalus Mountain (elevation 2,013 feet, above Honolulu), but is subject to mysterious incidents of sabotage which may involve his girl friend Angela (Diana Muldaur). McGarrett is frustrated not only by Pareno's attitude, but also by the fact that he has "diplomatic status." Pareno's son Niki (Michael Margotta) is also involved in the plot -- at one point he asks Angela "Why don't you try and persuade me?", with a suggestion of asking for sexual favors. As well, Angela is being blackmailed by a former lover who "took some pictures" of her. Who done it becomes more obvious as the suspects are eliminated, but overall it's an OK show. Features the car on fire in the main titles -- during this sequence, the car is initially seen racing up the narrow Tantalus Mountain road, but when it crashes and explodes, it's on a wider road with a line down the middle and a "parking lane." McGarrett later refers to this accident as "a car over the cliff" -- "a car running into a cliff at the side of the road" would be more correct. Jimmy Borges appears uncredited as one of the "official scrutineers of the Sports Car Clubs of America."
