Did a trained monkey on a typewriter write this episode?
tluvkj1 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
They chase down a mustang in a go cart to start the episode. These cops can find and stop terrorists and yakuza but a smart ass childish hacker they can't find or stop? At the point they know he is watching them at the airport they don't bother to lock it down. The college age girl is locked in a small dog cage but somehow she can't get out. My golden doodle bent the side bars and escaped but this girl just stays locked up.

Worst episode of a terrible season.
Sarsman15 June 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Used to be a good show but this season has been truly awful. This episode showcases the lazy clichéd writing by numbers mentality this show has come to have. Rather than trying to think of original story lines, the writers decided to knock off early and went to the filing cabinet of done to death story lines and just substituted a few names. Resurrecting the Wo Fat or however you spell it story line is an indication of how desperate they are. A pathetic contrived and unbelievable escape plot, and again the absent Doris assisting for a reason that has still not been properly explained for at least two series. Honestly past the point of caring now. This used to be a good action light entertainment program, some good chases, some good mysteries. Yes you had to suspend reality a bit but now it's gone too far, and it's just too difficult. Get back to good story lines, drop the clichés, go easy on the cheese. At the moment I cannot see myself watching next season .
