Title:
"The Lacquered Box"
Airdate:
May 12, 1993
Synopsis:
Clarence, one of Tan's former henchmen, wants to take
over Tan's business in Chinatown. In order to do so, he has to get rid of Peter and Caine.
Paul's Scenes:
Only two - one with Peter at the precinct, and one
with the dirty cops in his office.
Comments:
This episode was written by Maurice Hurley, who wrote
and directed several episodes of The Equalizer.
I loved the look of disbelief on Peter's
face when Paul told him that he wasn't his father, but that he was his friend. It's obvious Peter thought of Paul
as his father and it hurt him to hear Paul say otherwise. I have a copy of this script, and this is what it says verbatim in
regard to this scene: Peter shoots Blaisdell a look which says "for a lot of years so were you."
I also loved the way Paul handled Lyle and Tollis,
the two dirty cops. If looks could kill, they would have been dead.
Favorite Quote:
Peter: "You know, I can say anything to you, anytime,
about anything."
Paul: "You always could."
Pet Peeves:
Why weren't Paul and Annie at the hospital when Peter
got shot?
RL Factor:
He looked good in this episode, but wasn't in it very
much.
