FILTER BY TYPE

TRIVIA (3)
ADD TRIVIA
- In this episode we see a Captain Danza grilling Hooker, indicating that Captain Sheridan, who hadn't been seen since the fourth season episode "Anatomy Of A Killing," is no longer stationed at the headquarters.
  EDIT SHARE
- Though with a number of new shots mixed in, the car chase at the climax is recycled from the third season episode "Slay Ride" – in many exterior shots, if you look closely, you can see Hooker dressed as Santa Claus.
  EDIT SHARE
- When Stacy stops from her jog on the beach to talk to Steven Kennedy, the sound of the ocean behind them noticeably fades as she speaks, and crashes back in again on Steven's lines.

ADD QUOTES
- Hooker: (to FBI agents) Either of you get in my way again, you're going to need a flashlight and forceps to find your badges.
  EDIT SHARE
- Hooker: (to prostitute) Stay away from people that can hurt you. I don't want you to end up in a drawer, wearing a toe tag.
  EDIT SHARE
- Corrigan: You know, you could learn to be a tad more diplomatic with [Cpt. Danza].
  Hooker: I'm taking up needlepoint; I can only concentrate on one thing at a time.
  EDIT SHARE
- Hooker: I don't know what's being hit, and I don't know what's being heisted; but I don't like my streets being dirty.

NOTES (4)
ADD NOTES
- German episode title: "Im Dunkel der Nacht", meaning "In the Dark of Night"
  EDIT SHARE
- This is the second of Alex Rocco's two, unrelated appearances on T.J. Hooker. He can also be seen in season three's "Hooker's Run."
  EDIT SHARE
- Some plot element recycling: the bad guys, unaware that Steven Kennedy is blind, think that he can identify them and plan to stop him talking – a plot already used in the second season episode "Blind Justice."
  EDIT SHARE
- James Darren makes his directorial debut for this episode.
