A happily retired Jablonski (sturdy Robert Prosky) goes on a weekend hunting expedition along with Renko (funny Charles Haid) and Hill (likeable Michael Warren). Goldblume (an excellent Joe Spano) was supposed to join the trio, but a series of unexpected obstacles prevent him from doing so.
Written by acclaimed playwright David Mamet, this episode gives HSB fans a rare and refreshing chance to see several beloved Hill regulars in a rural environment instead of the usual urban one. Moreover, McBride (a fine Lindsay Crouse) makes a welcome return and has some strong scenes with Buntz (the always fantastic Dennis Franz), who comforts McBride about shooting a perp dead out of necessity. Poor Goldblume really gets put through the ringer and ultimately winds up being abducted by a desperate fugitive (well played by Mark Arnett) who forces Goldblume to dig a grave before eventually deciding not to kill him.
