Episode after episode I marvel at Jack Lord's acting. His expressions are natural and the changes come along at natural and sometimes amusing times. In this episode, I was particularly struck and his expression and reaction when Mark Leonard revealed who he really was. Jack Lord's expression of amusement held in check along with a bit of accusation was marvelous.
The story itself was dramatic, with a former spy with a photographic memory blackmailed into setting up an assassination attempt on another defector. Nehemiah Persoff was convincing and sympathetic as a man who simply wanted out of the business, and Malachi Throne relentless and chilling as a spy and assassin sent to terminate the defector.
