The first skill I learned was map folding in Army Cadets, I can almost fold them up blind folded. I heard a funny story about a modern-day cop who went down some backroads and was lost. No phone coverage, no internet for the phone. GPS coordinates meant nothing without a reference. Another character stopped and showed him a map and worked out directions for him to get where he was going. Young cops remark was handy useful things these map things

[@muffs55mercury61]

Likely one of the first episodes filmed (after "Prison Break" which is the first) as it's one of only about four that has the '54 Olds in it. I like the '54 Plymouth wagon. Even the plain jane models looked great when they were new. The '41 Plymouth was used in several episodes. Reynolds was indeed in a dire predicament in having to keep it a secret from his elderly father. I feel for him. This was a well written story and like several other episodes showed that Mathews was a good boss and cared about his men.

Captain Matthews took out the brother with his snub nose, and had no remorse. He is one tough cookie.

[@manp1039]

keep in mind he is an actor in a movie. I think real situation humans in real life and death situation still deal with the emotional consequences of being in danger of their well being and taking a life or even injuring persons.. even if they are criminals. Some may doing a mental game to try and lessen the effect by saying the person deserved it (perhaps sometimes when they didn't deserve it. or it was unclear if they deserved it or not)

[@timtim8468]

Years later... I don't think anyone here takes these for real, some episodes are really off. Actually, they are full of impossibilities. This here is obviously inspired by the biblical tale. We're presented another version, the boss prevented the murder. The surviving brother will work for the guy who killed his brother. Imagine that IRL.

Although the landscape depicted here is late 1950s SoCal/LA area, it looked very similar all the way down to the Mexican border. I grew up in northern SD county from 1964 on and most areas there looked like that especially the inland areas. That rural look remained that way until the mid to late 70s when rampant growth and massive construction took over thanks to greedy land development concerns. That unchecked growth changed the SoCal landscape forever and not for the better! Add in an influx of out of state people, legal and illegal immigration from all parts of the world plus generous social welfare programs to attract undesirables and there you go a very crowded, homeless infested and divided state unrecognizable from that time! Well, at least we shows like this to remind us of how it used to be.

It haps like that with the offices, i know a FBI agent in the Madison WI area and their office is in the back of a plumbing supply store, so yeah that kind of thing still goes on.

19:17--Did anyone notice that street sign? The intersection of Woodlake Ave. and Justice St. in the Canoga Park section of L.A. (Justice St. dead-ended at Woodlake) Much more developed now than when this episode was filmed.

54 Plymouth wagon if similar to the '53 that my father drove for several years probably couldn't hit 90 mph on a good day. The first car that the bad guy shows up in I think was a late 1930s Oldsmobile. (maybe it is a Plymouth) if so a car that accelerated like a glacier '56 Oldsmobile (looked something like the '54) I think was one of the best looking cars of all time along with the '55 Chrysler 300 (have not seen one of those on the Show) masterful acting by Broderick in this

Good episode thank you

[@davidcarroll1883]

The 1954 Plymouth station wagon probably wouldn't go much faster than 50mph.

I had a 55 dodge, v8. Red ram v8 engine. Powerful.

[@jacquesgervais1713]

@@susannewilson2258 But Plymouth did not offer any V8 on their 1954 models, only 6-cylinders : either 100 HP for 218 CID (early production to serial # 243,000) and 110 HP for the 230 CID (later production from serial #243,001). Your 1955 Dodge with Red ram was a Hemi with 270 CID and either 175, 183 or 193 HP. That was powerful for 1955.

It was sad that the old man was led to believe his favorite son was such a hero when in fact he was a crook, and what's even worse he was led to believe he was dead.

[@lindalawon9151]

Just thinking about the episode and how the father favored the son Bill who was extremely unstable. The father put down the son Mark who did everything right and negatively said he stsyed with safe things. Mark must be complimented for his way of doing things. That negative father who had two strokes was staying with good old faithful and stable Mark as Bill did everything to stay in prison repeatedly.

I heard that Broderick Crawford had no license due to DUI during the filming of some of these episodes. I wonder if that PSA at the end was part of his sentencing agreement?

[@charlesanderson1422]

Jackie Smith Yes that was the community service part of his sentencing.
