Conspiracy of Silence
Prismark108 December 2022
Simon Oakland plays Nick Stahl. A vicious gangster involved in the jukebox machine racket.

He shoots down a rival. A man called Joe who sold a jukebox in an area of the city operated by Nick.

Joe is injured and hospitalised but he refuses to finger Nick.

Captain Matt Holbrook decides to invoke a bizarre interrogation sequence for Nick in order to bamboozle him.

Several eyewitnesses are brought to him and they give Nick an alibi.

Before long it all gets perplexing as Nick is supposed to be with different people and places when Joe got shot.

An episode that has a menacing performance from Oakland, a reliable character actor.

The story was not much cop. Silly and confusing and I kept thinking, if the tactic works so well. The police should be doing it more often!
