Homicide: Life on the Street - Series 2 Ep. 14 - Dead End

Lot of work to get back to where they started

06 December 2008

The second episode in the ‘police shooting’ three parter moves a little slower than the previous episode. This, too, is standard ‘Homicide’ behavior. Half of a cops life is spent on stakeouts or waiting for suspects to reappear. For the first half of ‘Dead End’ comparatively little happens.

That doesn’t mean that there isn’t some great stuff. We continue to see more into the makeup of Bayliss and Pembleton. Showing some rookie tendencies even now, Tim tries to think positively and hope that his friends are OK. Pembleton is the realist. He knows that they could die but that he can do nothing about it. The only thing he can do is catch their shooter. The single-mindedness that we see in Frank continues to permeate and will not hit him until the next episode.
