1- A One Sentence Plot Synopsis:
*A psycho rapist impacts the world around him with as much mayhem and violence as possible before he finally runs into Stone and Keller.
2- VIEWERS CHECK THIS OUT...................
*CHARLIE WON'T BE ABLE TO SAVE YOU THIS TIME......... A very young (22) Cheryl Ladd is in the beginning of the first act. She doesn't last very long and sets the stage for the ruthless psycho on the loose and terrorizing San Francisco. She would do far better 3 years from the airing of this episode when she replaces Farrah Fawcett on Charlie's Angels.
*SEEMS SO LONG AGO........... At 7:45 Russell (Charles Martin Smith) is listening to the news on the radio. Part of the newscast mentions 5 English soldiers had requested and received Swedish immigration permission after they deserted their unit in the controversy over Englands fight against Northern Ireland.
*STONE GIVES KELLER THE STARE-DOWN....... 48:15 - Every time Keller is involved in a shooting, Stone fixates on him to clear the scene. I guess the directors are trying to show a paternal attitude or something along those lines? Notice the consternation on Stone's face as the scene (end of Act 4) goes to black. If there is another adjective to describe Stone's intensity - please feel free to disagree with me. I wonder if he will be doing the same thing through all of the seasons or will he evolve away from this? In the epilogue, Stone explains his concern in a little more detail. Keller is the kind of officer that when he uses violence against violent people, wears the emotion heavily. No rationale acts as a panacea for doing what he, by necessity, does as part of the job.
*SAN FRANCISCO MOTORCYCLE OFFICER SECURES THE STREET SO THE SCENE CAN BE FILMED......... At 50:21 as Stone and Keller leave the scene in their green Ford, a motorcycle cop (a real one) is positioned at the end of a street to (probably) deter traffic from entering the scene. When Keller and Stone begin to drive down the hill, the motorcycle officer clears his post.
3- Final Reflective Analysis and Final Grade: *This episode is disturbing for its' realism. It is truly tragic we have people in our society who act the way the "bad guys" in this episode act. As parents, we constantly are on guard against the individuals who would choose to act this way toward the innocent in our society. This episode is painful to watch and tragic for the pretend lives who represent the real lives of people who have been forever impacted by horrible people such as these.
Final Grade: B.
