A Friend In Deed is my fave ending too...."these are my shirts,my underwear"...brilliant stuff...and didn't see it coming..
I love the final scene(s)when he nails Halprin one bit of info at a time as they search...Richard Kiley puts on a stellar performance in this episode...

The only part I never got was how no one from the bar (where Halprin was playing dice) was questioned...it would have been clear Caldwell was quite intent on seeing Halprin that night...pulling him away from his game and the beauty on his "arm"..

Yes, Pete, I did the same -- thought I would briefly check it out, but soon got hooked and had to watch the whole thing. The quality of the writing and acting is so compelling that I was reminded, all over again, why I got into this series in the first place.
