    • Quotes

      Ramsey Tate: Make a move, Mannix, and you're dead. Turn around.

      [Joe turns around slowly]

      Ramsey Tate: Slowly now, with your left hand, lose your gun on the floor.

      [Joe drops his gun on the floor]

      Ramsey Tate: Turn around and take a step forward easy.

      [Joe turns around and takes one step forward]

      Ramsey Tate: That's enough. Now, what's your business with Raphael?

      Joe Mannix: Who?

      Ramsey Tate: Come on. Bruno Raphael.

      Joe Mannix: Raphael? I didn't know him before they ran him out of the country. I certainly wouldn't have any business with him now. I came here to see a Mr. Baxter. He called.

      Ramsey Tate: All right, Mannix, alright. We can have it friendly, or we can have it tough. You're a private cop. You're working for Raphael.

      Joe Mannix: I told you, I'm not.

      Ramsey Tate: Oh, he's been here, hasn't he? Staked out here in this place?

      [Joe doesn't answer]

      Ramsey Tate: He's in L.A.!

      Joe Mannix: You're going at this all wrong, friend.

      Ramsey Tate: [smiles] All right. Count three.

      [aims his gun at Joe]

      Ramsey Tate: Let's hear it!

      Joe Mannix: You're making a big mistake.

      Ramsey Tate: You said, "one," right?

      Joe Mannix: I can't tell you anything.

      Ramsey Tate: You said, "two."

      [cocks his gun]

      Joe Mannix: All right. Hold it. Hold it. Maybe, uh, there is one thing.

      [Tate uncocks his gun, only for Joe to lunge at him and fight]

    6/10
    Pretty good...but the ending seemed stupid.
    "One Step to Midnight" was a decent episode...up until the ending. As for the ending, it left a lot to be desired.

    When the show begins, Mannix is called to a meeting--a meeting that turns out not only to be fake but someone is there waiting for him. The man who supposedly called Mannix MIGHT have been a famous gangster (Harold Gould) but Mannix is not only unwilling to work for the guy but no one knows exactly where he is. Soon, the gangster's son is murdered and the granddaughter of the creep might be next--so Mannix comes to offer his help.

    The mystery and action in this one is pretty good. Plus, by the end Mannix's guess as to who is behind all this isn't such a big leap-- there's hardly anyone left! But the final scene and the way the granddaughter reacts is just a bit insane--and seriously impairs the show overall. Generally well done but it just lets up at the end.
