Second Episode Is Intense Cold War Tale, 23 May 2007
8/10
Author: Hal-900 from WA, USA

The impossible mission of the second episode ("Memory") deals with a plan to make top Russian spy look like he betrayed his comrades. The story is pure Cold War nonsense. Most of the suspense occurs during the second half when the team tries to free one of its agents. Landau is back as Rollin Hand and Albert Paulsen guest stars as a man with an amazing memory who happens to be an alcoholic. The man's on going drinking problem threatens to jeopardize the mission. It is a notch above its predecessor. Barbara Bain steals many scenes and her then real-life husband Landau makes the must of his limited screen time. It is an entertaining show with a mean streak attitude. Very enjoyable.
