- TriviaThis time, it's not just Mannix, but Lt. Malcolm gets knocked unconscious.

- Quotes
John Phillips: [Joe enters his office and sees John Phillips] I helped myself. You don't mind?
Joe Mannix: What do you want now? I haven't got time for games.
John Phillips: How close are you to finding the undercover agent?
Joe Mannix: Close enough.
John Phillips: And when you do find him, you're going to turn him over to Powers, is that right?
Joe Mannix: That's what I was hired to do, remember? My secretary's life is at stake.
John Phillips: The Department will find your secretary. Don't worry.
Joe Mannix: You're the undercover agent?
John Phillips: That's right.
Joe Mannix: Keep talking.
John Phillips: I need time.
Joe Mannix: Sorry, you haven't got much. Powers gave me a limit. I've got just 48 hours left to find you.
John Phillips: Well, that figures. He's afraid. The syndicate is putting pressure on him. There's something big in the wind. And if Powers can't find me, the whole thing goes up in smoke. His life is on the line. Oh, and about tonight, I'm sorry. I had no choice.
Joe Mannix: I take a beating and you're in the clear?
John Phillips: Something like that. Mannix, look, try to understand. We can't afford to let all the work we've done go down the drain. The least you can do is stall for time.
Joe Mannix: Now you listen to me, Phillips. I just slugged a police lieutenant. In a few minutes, every cop in town will be out looking for me. My secretary is living day to day. Now I just don't much give a damn about your job!
John Phillips: We'll find her.
Joe Mannix: You'd better, and fast.
This is a very tense and interesting episode. I particularly appreciated that one of the kidnappers was Georg Stanford Brown--a guy who soon would be known as one of "The Rookies" on TV--a COP! Worth seeing and I particularly appreciated the tense ending and what the dying man says to Peggy.
