  Episode Notes  
This was the final episode of the series to be filmed.
 
One thing different about Theodore Marcuse's appearance in this episode from previous ones is that his head isn't shaved completely bald. He has some hair on his temples.
 
  Episode Quotes  
Marty:Jake, you're asking the impossible.
Szabo: But asking.
 
Marty: (about Ellie Haskell) She was a nice girl.
Gunther: Let's not get carried away. She danced for dimes.
 
Marty: (to Cully) I pay you to run this place. You have your headaches on your own time.
 
Marty: You better talk to your tailor.
Bogan: About what?
Marty: About a bulletproof suit.
 
Marty: (to Cully) You do the worrying. I'll do the shooting.
 
  Analysis  
In this episode, the final one filmed, we get to see one of the major flaws of the show's final season--lack of screen time for the Untouchables themselves. Robert Stack only has approximately a minute and a half of screen time and Paul Picerni only slightly more. One gets a feeling that the script for this one was written for another cop show and adapted rather poorly to fit The Untouchables.
