TRIVIA (1)
ADD TRIVIA
- Nitpick: the timeline in this episode with respect to the others in the series is a bit off as Nicholas Cain mentions that he sent Norma Sherman to jail on a narcotics rap over two years before the episode takes place. Thus, it appears that Cain has been on his crusade against organized crime a bit longer than in conjunction with the remaining episodes in the series.
