Whitestone

well-meaning but naive widowed single dad Hal (John Goodman) has been out of work for six months. Desperate for income he has made a shady deal with some very bad people who have paid him up front to do something that is highly illegal. Hal tries to back out but they won't let him. He has already spent most of what they paid him.

Hal's teen son Chris senses his father's frustration and its severity. He enlists Robert McCall (Edward Woodward) via McCall's protégé Mickey Kostemeyer (Keith Szarabajka).

Whilst McCall & Mickey meet with Chris to discuss helping, Hal is abducted by his criminal employers just outside his apartment in full view of Mickey who is standing by the front window.

McCall & Mickey must find out what the job is that Hal is being coerced in to doing and how to thwart it keeping Hal alive and out of prison. The stakes get bigger as they go. Unexpected revelations complicate things further.

How one is able to get Graham Beckel, Steve Buscemi, John Goodman, David Johansen and especially Joe Morton in the same cast on an episode of network series TV would be beyond most casting directors. Conversely with such excellent guest stars surely a better episode would have resulted.

I've never particularly liked this episode which looked like it was written for another series then adapted for this one. We get very little subtext about the lead character McCall in the script. The acting and the dialogue were also both pretty soft compared with other episodes.

Stewart Copeland who composed the haunting opening theme for the show appeared in this episode as a smarmy pickpocket.

John Goodman and Steve Buscemi would go on to appear together in Coen Brothers films.
