Private Eye – War Buddy – 1987 This is episode 3 of the 13 episode run
of the series, Private Eye. Michael Woods headlines along with Josh
Brolin and William Sadler.
P.I. Woods bumps into longtime friend and war buddy, Jamie Sheridan.
The two have a few drinks and say goodnight. As they leave the bar, 3
no-neck types grab Sheridan and begin to curb-stomp him. Woods jumps in
to even the odds. Woods and Sheridan break away and escape in Woods'
car.
It seems Sheridan owes local mobster, loan-shark, Harry Laskawy, 10
grand. The no-neck types had been sent to "suggest" a speedy payment
date.
As it so happens, Woods, knows the mobster. He pays the man a visit to
arrange a reasonable time frame for Sheridan to pay off the debt. He
arranges a meeting between Laskawy and Sheridan to settle the matter.
Sheridan, who has been somewhat of a loose cannon since his return from
Korea, tells the mobster to shove it. He then decks one of Laskawy's
men and leaves. Woods smooths the incident over and promises to get
Sheridan to pay.
Sheridan is a big roller derby star. Roller derby drew big crowds back
in the 50's.
Laskawy tells Sheridan he will rip up his debt and give him 5 grand
cash, if he will tank the upcoming match. Laskawy plans on betting
against Sheridan's heavily favored team. Sheridan agrees and pockets
the 5 large.
The night of the game, Sheridan finds out that his team-mates have bet
every dime they have, on them winning the championship.
Sheridan, needless to say, throws a monkey wrench into the mob's plans
and wins the game.
This all leads to a gun battle with the body count including Sheridan,
Lawskawy and several other gangster types.
An enjoyable series that I wish had stuck around.
The director was Rob Cohen. His films include, DRAGONHEART, DAYLIGHT,
THE SKULLS and ALEX CROSS. The d of P was Jonathan West. (color)
