Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe episode features Crockett experiencing several flashbacks, including to scenes never actually witnessed first time around. While this technique has been used several times previously in the series with regards to Tubbs (particularly concerning the shooting of his brother Rafael in New York), this is the first time Crockett has been seen having flashbacks. Flashbacks would later become a significant and repeated plot point during Crockett's time as Sonny Burnett at the beginning of season five.
- GoofsAt the start of the show, Crockett is talking to Tubbs while on stakeout and you hear Crockett's voice while Crockett's mouth is not moving.
- Quotes
Lieutenant Martin Castillo: You pulled the trigger. Now, live with the responsibility. It's gonna scar you, eat you, burn you inside, and it should. But you got work to do that you care about, people are depending on that. You got people who care for you, Sonny, like me. Don't lose yourself. Keep on going.
Featured review
The season 4 trend continues
Make it 5 for 5 so far in season 4. No other season up until 4 has strung together 5 solid episodes in a row, so i'm inclined to believe season 4 is going to take the crown as best MV season (unless 5 blows me away).
The writing in this episode is top notch, worlds apart from the formulaic crap that pervaded most of season's 2 and 3. I'm not sure what happened to improve the quality of the writing so much, but the producers should be credited with going out and finding the talent to seriously legitimize MV.
Don Johnson gets tossed a thick chunk of meat to sink his teeth into with this episode and he proves that he has the chops to chow down. Crockett pops a little kid in the opening sequence and until the complexities of the plot are peeled back one layer at a time, he spends most of this episode dealing with the guilt associated with the accidental shooting and also of his own parenting issues.
EJO also gets to dish out a great monologue in a moment between his character (Lt. Castillo) and Crockett. Not only is the writing crisp and real, it probes the depths of Castillo's stone faced personality, revealing a compassionate man beneath the ultra stoic veneer.
This episode is a treat, not only because of the depth to the characters are written, but also because of a truly intelligent and unpredictable plot. Bravo.
