  Episode Notes  
It's interesting that in both episodes in which David Brian guest-starred, his character got a corrupt police official to set up someone to be murdered. This had previously happened in The St. Louis Story.
 
Julie Duval ranks as the biggest female lush of the series. The woman would probably drink to in-grown toenails.
 
Locations: Chicago, Ogden City IL
 
  Episode Quotes  
Hobson: If hate could kill, O'Malley would have been a dead man a long time ago.
Rico: Amen, brother.
 
O'Malley: (about getting to Davas and Wilinski) There's more than one way to pluck a pigeon.
 
Wilinski: Next time I turn State's Evidence I'm gonna be fussier about who I do it with.
 
Davas: (to Ness) If you don't put that phone in you can just whistle 'cause brother I ain't singin'.
 
Narrator: Bryan O'Malley was an old political puppet master and he was about to pull a few strings.
 
  Analysis  
The first half of this episode is pretty good but the second half turns quickly into a routine find the missing witness and shoot it out with the baddies entry.
