This was a fun episode in that it was unlike any other RMT that I\'d heard so far. The \"noir\" style, Sam Spade approach was refreshing if not unique to anything else I\'ve come across.

However, it took me about five listens to finally get through the episode. I just wasn\'t drawn into it. I think the first act had an allure about it, being in that particular genre of private dics and what not. But after that, everything seemed to have plateaued and remained at the same pace throughout the show. Even at the end, I wasn\'t quite sure it was over. I pictured the characters smiling at the camera and holding up old-style bottles of Coca-Cola saying, \"G\'night now!\" and then winking... fade to black.

Three cheers for the writers exploring different avenues and trying to keep the audience full of fresh, new mysteries to uncover, but this episode pretty much lacked any real mystery to it.

\"The film was under his body!\" really ticked me off. What criminal who is desperately searching for some piece of valuable information fails to search the body? For me, this was the dramatic flaw that pinched the nerve in the tooth of the episode. It seemed as though the writer had perhaps written himself into a corner and this was the only way out. A lot of irrelevent details and dialogue, all for naught, had they only checked the body first.

I gave the show a 3.5 based on the production and the acting quality, which I found to be above par for the RMT standard.<br>
