    Un-Easy Rider

    Peter Fonda plays a key guest-acting role in this two-part segment. Fonda plays "William Hunt," a guy who used to partner with "Mac" when the two were street cops. Hunt, though, is not with the police anymore and Mac eyes him suspiciously. Fonda, over 40 years older since his famous "Easy Rider" days, is still fun to watch. His voice sounds a lot like Clint Eastwood's.

    The villain in here is a nasty dude, bent on revenge for what he feels was injustice....that he had no business being in jail. He just got out and problems have started. Clifton Collins Jr does a good job playing "Raymond Harris," a man who is after Mac and his former partner and will kill each, if he can. (There is a lot of suspense in this episode. Both the ex-con and Mac are on edge.)

    This is a very good story that makes you anxious to see the conclusion.

    • Quotes

      Detective Mac Taylor: I know what you're going to say. It's not the way it looks. I'm fine.

      Jo Danville: It's exactly the way it looks. That's the same suit you had on yesterday, if not the day before. You haven't even been home in two days.

      Detective Mac Taylor: This isn't the first time one case has rolled over into another. I'll be fine.

      Jo Danville: When's the last time you had something to eat? I don't want to hear about that trail mix from the vending machine last night.

      Detective Mac Taylor: It was a granola bar.

      Jo Danville: You promised me you were going to go home and get some sleep.

      Detective Mac Taylor: I was working on some cases, I dozed off on the couch. Then this came in.

      Jo Danville: Boss of the crime lab or not, you are no good to anyone if you're running on fumes.

      Detective Mac Taylor: Look, I am not walking out of a homicide investigation.

      Jo Danville: [waving at Flack] No, Don is driving you out.

      Detective Don Flack: [approaching] Yo.

      Jo Danville: It's all been arranged. You're going to go home and get a couple hours' sleep. And if you're lucky, a toothbrush and a shower might make it feel like eight.

      Detective Mac Taylor: Don can't just leave.

      Detective Don Flack: Sure I can. I'm on my way back to the precinct, anyway. Your place is on the way.

      Detective Mac Taylor: Sid will be expecting me in Autopsy.

      Jo Danville: It's covered. Your work is done here, Mac Taylor. Don's gonna take you to that diner you love for breakfast, and then take you home and tuck you in.

      Detective Mac Taylor: Will he be giving me milk and cookies and singing a lullaby?

      Detective Don Flack: The lullaby thing's a little weird. But milk and cookies could happen.
