This one involves an old friend of Schiff's, as did season 2's finale "The Working Stiff." Here, Theodore Bikel plays Sol Bregman, a rich gentleman whose son appears to have been kidnapped by mysterious forces. When it becomes apparent that the kidnapper may be a little closer to home, Stone, Claire and Schiff must grapple with a father-son relationship that isn't exactly reciprocal.
I like L&O episodes where ghosts and figures from the characters' pasts make up the plot; you definitely get that here, as Schiff must balance his loyalty to Sol with his duty to pursue the leads wherever they go. Let's just say this is one friendship that probably isn't bound to last past the end credits...
Nice casting in this one, with Bikel as the concerned dad, Vyto Ruginis as one of the kidnappers (he's always got a chilly look about him, like he's planning on gouging someone's eyes out) and Leo Burmester as a quirky defense attorney with a taste for Chinese food who hails from Dade County.
