I agree totally with zski34; his comments say it all. First of all, major compliments to the writers of this episode -- this is the best episode in the "Vice" series. It could certainly be held up as one of the best episodes in TV history. Bruce McGill, who is a fine actor, makes the entire story line work with a character clearly brilliant at one time, but who turns increasingly manic as he has been holding onto a secret that is eating away at his sanity. It's one of the few "Vice" episodes where Crockett, Tubbs and the other main characters take a back seat during the entire episode to another character. The last lines of the episode still haunt me (to Crockett) as he stands in disbelief in front of a hidden dead body of a drug dealer: "He was my partner. You understand? My partner."
