Hors de Combat
Prismark1017 August 2020
There is a gangland war broken out in London. Dempsey meanwhile gets down and dirty with Angie Hughes an American in London.

Maybe Makepeace is getting jealous of Dempsey wooing an ex pat.

There is another wonderful opening scene with a jail break. A man is hoisted by a crane. Between Minder, The Professionals and Dempsey and Makepeace. Many British stuntmen were gainfully employed for over a decade.

The rival gangsters are Jack Lang and Bernie Silk. One of them seems to be on a power grab and both of them determined on a tit for tat revenge.

Dempsey suspects an outsider has been brought in for the hits. One of them being a bomb placed in a casino.

I think the surprise twist was not that much of a surprise, nor that someone else might had been pulling the strings regarding the feud.

There's a nice opening of a prison escape, a good build up of the events between the gangs, a good twist, but otherwise it's an ok-ish episode. Nothing too standout.
