- TriviaLook closely at the license plate on the Phillips brothers' Mercedes when they're driving away after the car accident. It reads 864 ORE, which is the same exact numbers and letters on the license plate on Terry's sports car in Season 1's 'A Bloody Shade of Blue'. This same license plate number was also featured one more time in Season 4's 'A Code Five Affair'.
- GoofsThis error involves the marks from Karen Austin's scratches on the left side of Aldon Phillips's face. At the brothers' apartment, Aldon is doing push-ups on the floor. When he gets up, look at the left side of his face. There are no scratches or marks showing. However, when he sits down at the bar, the scratch marks are suddenly there on his face.
- Quotes
Officer Terry Webster: [Officers Chris Owens and Terry Webster respond to a call involving a car accident. 19-year-old Karen Austin, who was running down the roadway against traffic, was hit by an oncoming car coming around a curve. After arriving at the scene, Officer Webster kneels on the pavement next to where the injured young woman is lying. He's holding her hand in his right hand and is shading her eyes from the sun with his left hand. He sees that she's in great pain and his facial expression shows his deep concern for her. He has begun offering quiet, soothing words of comfort to her in an effort to help her relax] Take it easy, baby, ahhh, it's gonna be alright... take it easy...
Karen Austin: [Karen has been covered by a blanket and is writhing in pain. When she speaks, she's whimpering in agony] It hurts... please make it... stop.
[She looks imploringly at Officer Webster, pleading with her eyes for him to help her]
Officer Terry Webster: [Officer Webster is now squeezing her hand, and continuing his soft, comforting words to her, trying to help her relax. He looks at their intertwined hands then speaks softly] Well, just go ahead and squeeze this big paw if you want... as hard as you want... ok?
[as he continues speaking to Karen, he's looking gently into her eyes]
Karen Austin: [By now, Karen is writhing more vigorously and trying not to cry. She's grasping Officer Webster's hand tightly in her own, intermittently squeezing it, trying in vain to calm herself. She is in great distress and seems oblivious to Officer Webster's attempts to console her] Help me... please help me...
Officer Terry Webster: [Officer Webster, feeling great sympathy for Karen, continues looking into her eyes. He smiles at her gently, as he's hoping he will succeed in calming her down] Look, an ambulance is on the way and you're gonna have a doctor soon... ok?
[Officer Webster smiles gently at Karen encouragingly]
Karen Austin: [the girl's gaze is fixated on Officer Webster's eyes, pleading with him to stay with her] Don't leave me... don't...
Officer Terry Webster: [Officer Webster is still kneeling beside the girl and his hand is over her forehead, shading her eyes from the sun. He is letting her continue to squeeze his hand] I won't leave you... I'm not gonna leave you...
[Officer Webster's soft, gentle voice gradually lowers to a whisper]
Karen Austin: [Karen, with tears in her eyes, is staring at Officer Webster intently. She knows he wants to help her and she is valiantly trying to convey a message to him] Tell my mother... that I... that I... didn't...
[Karen's voice trails off as she struggles to speak]
Officer Terry Webster: [Officer Webster's face shows his compassion for the injured girl. He really wants to help her and replies in a very soft, low voice, encouraging her to try to talk to him] What?... What?
Karen Austin: [Karen starts gasping and crying and is having trouble speaking. She's staring intently at Officer Webster, determined that she makes him understand what she's trying to tell him. Her eyes beg him to understand] That Jimmy... that I didn't do... what Jimmy did...
Officer Terry Webster: [Officer Webster is raptly listening to what Karen is saying to him, although he doesn't grasp what she means. His eyebrows are drawn together, clearly showing the concern he feels for her] Ok... ok... ok... alright...
[Officer Webster is speaking in a whisper as Karen, exhausted in her effort to speak, closes her eyes and drifts off. Officer Webster tenderly puts his hand on the side of her face before rising to his feet]
This is a different kind of episode because Webster takes on the role of detective here in order to find out the circumstances that led to the woman being hit by the car. This is an intriguing and touching episode as Webster feels he owes it to the woman to ascertain what actually happened, and he shows a lot of determination and dedication in doing so.
As is usually the case with this show, it's no mystery who the criminals are since the rapists are revealed in the opening scene. The only question is whether Webster will be able to identify the woman and determine what happened and gather the evidence needed to arrest the rapists, and it's really interesting and fascinating to watch as he tries to unravel the story behind what happened. Owens helps him out a little bit but is mostly just along for the ride as the focus is on Webster.
This is one of Georg Stanford Brown's best performances, which is really saying something, since he's had many great performances on this show. He's a terrific actor and this is quite an emotional performance here and he's fantastic.
Bruce Fairbairn's hair looks as bad as ever. It's curly and all over the place and not even combed in some spots, like in the front and on top. It really looks terrible and he just looks like a clown.
Danko is absent except for a brief appearance at his apartment.
Ryker is actually low-key for a change and doesn't do any ridiculous and unnecessary yelling.
Jill has a scene in the hospital as she updates Webster and Owens on the woman's condition. She also has a brief scene later on in her apartment.
There's a rare scene in a morgue in this one, which aligns with the detective theme. The coroner is quite a wacko as he's eating a sandwich while handling corpses, talking with food in his mouth and joking about the figures on bodies in the morgue.
The action scenes consist of several chases and some nice stunts. There are no shootouts.
This is a well-written, engaging and entertaining episode and one you don't want to miss.
