Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDCS Foyle's determination to travel to America to take care of some unfinished business refers to the events of Fifty Ships (2003), during which, for purposes of the war, Foyle was forced to release a murderer. The final outcome is revealed at the start of the next series, The Eternity Ring (2013).
- GoofsAfter discussing with Milner, Foyle realises that the letter is coded and the address must be a letter drop for an intelligence service. Dillon denies that the addressee lives at the hotel, but offers to take the letter in case the person comes to collect it, which confirms to Foyle that the hotel is a letter drop. He says to Dillon "why would you do that?" Foyle only offers his surname because he is already known to the intelligence services, confirmed earlier in this episode, and in previous episodes. Dillon makes an immediate phone call and not long after, Foyle is picked up by Military Intelligence, Section 9 (MI9). MI9 specialised in helping British prisoners of war escape - an underlying theme of the episode.
- Quotes
DI Paul Milner: So... this is goodbye.
Christopher Foyle: Yeah, looks like it. You're on your own now.
DC Perkins: He's got me, sir.
Christopher Foyle: Precisely.
Featured review
Should Have Been Called "Holes"
Outstandingly sensitive acting by Michael Kitchen and an interesting story. But I agree with other reviewers that too many holes crept into the plot.
First: I join with the reviewer who questioned the credibility of Stanford's so-called return to the service. How did he even get past the guard at the door to this super-secretive outfit?
Second: Foyle goes to a hotel looking for a Mr. Chambers; the clerk plays him off and makes a short call warning someone that they have a problem. And who is it who has the problem? And what is the problem? All of this goes unanswered (in my opinion).
Third: What is the meaning of the envelope addressed to Mr. Chambers (it contained a coded letter from Devereux inside of a second envelope)? Why was Devereux's letter inside of two envelopes (one to Chambers, one to his murdered girlfriend)? Who was Chambers (if he exists at all)?
Last: I certify here and now that I didn't sleep thru the episode and miss the obvious answers to my questions. I have seen the episode twice, and I still haven't grasped the answers to these questions.
