While working an odd job for a casino, David (Bixby) intervenes to save the life of an informant (Santoro) who's near-fatally beaten by casino boss' (Crawford) thugs after it's discovered he holds incriminating evidence that would bring the casino boss down. Santoro's wife (Gregg) manages to deposit the evidence in a safe place until Jack McGee (Colvin) can recover and publish it; a tense race ensues to retrieve the evidence and silence the witnesses.
Veteran supporting actor Crawford is icy as the brawny crime boss not averse to getting his hands dirty, while his right hand man Lee (Marshall) is cucumber-cool as the charismatic stand-over merchant of pain. Julie Gregg and pert Simone Griffeth balance out the testosterone, and while Griffeth's role as a casino croupier is largely frivolous, Gregg has a more intrinsic role to the storyline as Santoro's apparently long-suffering wife. Overall, the cast is a highlight of this season one episode.
Two great hulk-out moments punctuate the suspense, the climax in particular tantalisingly close to revealing the Hulk's alter ego after he emerges from a make-shift grave. Engrossing episode with standout performances by Crawford and Marshall in particular.
