Magnum, P.I.: Memories Are Forever

« prev episode next » episode

While working on a routine divorce case, Magnum catches a brief glimpse of a woman on a passing boat that he is certain is Michelle, the girl he married during the Vietnam war seven years ago, and whom he previously believed to have been killed shortly afterwards in a bombing raid. All he has of the brisk sighting is some blurred photos he managed to take, and T.C. and Rick, whilst not completely convinced, help as he scours the local area looking for her. But there are several parties that intend to see that Magnum is unable to make contact with Michelle, and the search sees them stumbling into dangerous political territory. Add a recap »

We get two close-up shots of Magnum's driving license during this episode.
It reads (with a photo in the top right corner):

It's not clear whether the date (1/05/46), is his birthday or not. If it is, there is contradicting dates given in several later episodes. edit »
The two-part version of this episode breaks as Colonel Ki follows Michelle from the Church � the picture freezes and the caption 'To Be Continued' is shown before the 'Executive Producer Donald P. Bellisario' credit. Both credits are presented centre screen instead of the standard bottom left.
The closing credits of part one are over a shot of Magnum and Michelle hiding under the restaurant table in Vietnam during the bombing. (Different music to the regular theme tune is used on the end of this story). edit »
This story was originally broadcast as a feature-length adventure, but, as with most feature-length episodes in US TV, also exists in two-part version, the format in which it is more commonly repeated. edit »
In this episode, it appears that Rick has started smoking again (we see him smoking twice in Part I). A couple of episodes previously, in 'The Woman On The Beach', was saw him smoking while under stress, commenting that he'd given up but he'd just started again. edit »
The closing credits mis-spell one of the character's names, as "Col. Ky's Driver" � Ki, as confirmed on the opening Guest Stars credits, is spelt with an "I", not a "Y. edit »
