Warning: Spoilers
The Fourth Man is a mix of horror and mystery in a 70's style. Jim's friend a stewardess believes there is someone stalking her. There is a mix of a weird encounter with a customer, a parking lot scare, and an apartment scare. Like Friday the 13th movie there is grey lighting, quiet no sound, and a loom of doom as the woman deals with a feeling of dredge. No one believes her. Then Jim comes into the mystery and sets a trap. The detective Jim knows something is wrong and becomes involved with a murder for hire mystery. The unraveling of the detective bottom third makes for a good story which slowly unfolds. The mix of a horror movie to Rockford detective story is a great merger. Well acted and directed. Nine stars. One of my favorite episodes.
