24 April 2012
Warning: Spoilers
After Zito and Switek receive a tip off from Izzy the team begin an investigation into an Irishman named Carroon who was a member of the IRA but claims to have given up violence and become a campaigner for peace; after listening to his latest speech they come to the conclusion that Izzy has given them some duff information; that is until they learn where is has come from. This leads Crockett and Tubbs to a major arms dealer who will provide anything from handguns to Stinger missiles and it is the latter item that Carroon is reported to be interested in! Matters are complicated by the fact that Gina has fallen for Carroon and is convinced of his innocence.

As a story this episode is fairly gripping with some quality action which includes the shocking 'death'... of Sonny's treasured Ferrari... I thought he was going to cry! The main item of note for this episode is that it features Hollywood A-lister Liam Neeson as Carroon; of course this was before he became famous, Paul Gleason and James Bond star Walter Gotell as the arms dealer Max Klizer. Saundra Santiago did a fine job as Gina even if it seemed unlikely that her character would end up in a suspect bed the way she did... that of course is down to the writers not her though!
