Mike Hammer
continuation from front page
Later, Hammer goes back to Father James and asks him if he know who the murderer
is from a confessional. Father James finally tells him what he needs to know,
without violating the confidentiality of the confession. Hammer leaves and
saves another prostitute just before she is murdered.
Afterward, when Hammer comes to visit Father James, he explains to Hammer his
reasons for not coming forward sooner. He invites him to Mass and they end up
making plans to attend a Knicks game together.
The title of this episode implies right away that the priest is the suspect in
the crime. When actually the only sins of Father James was his greed for the
power and money that a big new church would give. Fortunately, in the end, he
sees the light and helps Hammer.
This was another great performance by Steven, showing the difficulties of morals
verses money. He played a nervous, but mostly ethical priest that wants to do
the best for the church without thinking of the safety of the prostitutes.
Seeing Steven in that shirt and collar would make just about any female want to
covert. I highly recommend watching the show the next time it is on. It can
usually be found the The Mystery Channel.
