Forty Reasons to Kill: Part 2
12 February 2016
Part Two starts with Lt. Manny Quinlan visiting Harry in jail in Vadero County. He's been framed for murder. It's a fantastic scene and illustrates for me what a consummate actor David Janssen was. It's such a pleasure watching him work. There are no histrionics or anger, just low-key regret. Manny waves hello when he first gets there and Harry smiles in return. Harry's narration is: ""Stone walls do not a prison make," a poet once wrote, "nor iron bars a cage." He was wrong."

The beautiful and talented Joanna Pettet plays the part of Glenna, the wealthy young woman whose inherited land is held in trust. The breaking of that trust is integral to the plot. But this episode is all about Harry seeking justice and attempting to right all the wrongs that he uncovers. As always, David Janssen is great in this episode.
