Quotes
Det. Ron Harris: Barney, this MO is very familiar. I'm sure we've dealt with it before.
Det. Sgt. Arthur Dietrich: On the other hand, it may just be similar. You know, sometimes when you experience something over and over that has basic similarities, the details just kind of fade. It only appears to be the same thing you've experienced before.
Det. Ron Harris: Much like this conversation.
Det. Sgt. Arthur Dietrich: That's a good example.

Star power

I have seen this episode a few times, but until last night, never realized that it featured two actors from "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." Henry Jones (the bike salesman) plays the police chaplain, and Jeff Corey (the sheriff the boys tie up with his approval) plays the prisoner. All they needed was Strother Martin!
