Aino's Modus Operandi

For a much better inventory of the "Profiler" soundtrack, visit Isis' TPA: The Profiler Archive.

"Insight" was the original title for the series.
The episode was shot on location in Atlanta.
The Shakespeare quote left behind by the NOTW "Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished" is from the end of "Romeo And Juliet". It is thought that it refers to the fates of the servants; Juliet's nurse will be banished for concealing Juliet and Romeo's marriage, Peter (nurse's attendant) will go free and the apothecary will be hanged.
An artist called Bruce Gray may have provided the majority of Angel's works of art for the series. Visit Mr. Gray's website Sculpture by Bruce Gray to see his amazing works. Details are sketchy at the moment, but when more information surfaces, I'll be sure to let you in on it. And thank you to Mr. Gray for contributing me this bit of "Profiler" knowledge.
Jack-Of-All-Trades, noun, someone who can turn his hand to any business. Derived from the proverb "A jack of all trades but a master of none.
While Sam and Bailey are discussing the case, Bailey says that maybe one of the victims went out "looking for Mr Goodbar". This is a reference to the movie "Looking For Mr Goodbar", starring Diane Keaton,Tuesday Weld and Richard Gere, released in 1977 and directed by Richard Brooks. The main character is a woman in her twenties who teaches deaf children and spends her nights in bars looking for men. In the end she is murdered by one those one-night stands.

The make-up artist who supplied the series with the burn scars on Kevin Monk (Seth Peterson) and Toby the Wick's (John Diehl) stump hand is Brian Penikas. Here is a photo of Seth with his make-up on.
Here are the lyrics to the song played in the background when Bailey shows Sam, Chloe and Angel their new home.

"On Saturday Afternoons in 1963"

The artist: Rickie Lee Jones
The album: Rickie Lee Jones

The most as you'll ever go
Is back where you used to know
If grown-ups could laugh this slow
Where as you watch the hour snow
Years may go by

So hold on to your special friend
Here, you'll need something to keep her in:
"Now you stay inside this foolish grin..."
Though any day your secrets end
Then again,
Years may go by

You saved your own special friend
Cuz here you need something to hide her in
And you stay inside that foolish grin
When everyday now secrets end
Oh and then again
Years may go by

Tuesday Knight has released an eponymously titled album.
With all likelihood the title of the episode comes from The Police classic "Every Breath You Take", a song that Tuesday Knight's character Morissa is shown to have covered in the episode. Here are the lyrics:

"Every Breath You Take"

The artist: The Police
The album: Synchronicity

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you

Oh can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please

Oh can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

In the end credits it says the following: "Dedicated to the Memory of Jon Sepler".

The actor playing Ronnie McDern, Gary Stretch, was brought back in the second season as Sam's probable new love interest, Rick, in "Bloodlust" and "Cycle Of Violence".
There is a poster of Traci Lords on one wall of McDern's jail cell. The poster is on the wall behind Robert Davi during most of the scene, but it's there.
Jack's roulette wheel was given to the Planet Hollywood restaurant in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, to be hung on the wall. However, the restaurant has gone bankrupt, so the wheel's whereabouts are in the dark.

The tango Jack listens to while planning his attack on Angel is "Jalousie" (Danish for "jealousy") by the composer Jacob Gade. "Jalousie" was first performed in 1925 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The footage of Sam, Bailey, John and company arriving to the LeSalle institute for the criminally insane at the end of the episode was also seen in the second season episode "Dying To Live". (Check out Sam's hair, John's clothes, Bailey's hat!)

Tony Abatemarco, the actor playing Allessandro deSalla, prominent artist, was also the NOTW in the third season episode "Where Or When". And Jennifer Griffin, playing the part of professor Desphande, also guest starred in the third season. The episode was "Perfect Helen" and she was the local police officer.
Two of Bruce Gray's works of art (see Insight's trivia section) are used in this episode. During the scene where John and Nathan interrogate deSalla, you can catch a glimpse of Gray's "Wall Sculpture #16" work. When Sam and the woman from the art institute are descending the stairs, you can see Gray's "Qube #3". If want to know more about the works, why not visit Bruce Gray's website at http://www.brucegray.com? You can find these afore-mentioned details in the second Movie and Television page.
In the email Jack sends to Sam in the end of this episode, the picture of Sam and Chloe on the couch is actually taken from the "The House That Jack Built", the episode after this one.
This is the first episode where the "Jack handwriting" font is employed; Jack's name at the end of his email is written with it. The font was used in numerous episodes of the second season, and the show logo "profiler" is written in it as well. The font is called "Rougfhouse" and is manufactured by House Industries. Thanks to Nick Knight and his Jack-like hacker abilities for bringing this to my attention!

The shots of the team arriving in vans and cars to the warehouse where Sam and Jack are were utilised in later episodes such as "Crisis" and "Breaking Point".

This episode was renamed on NBC Europe. The first part was called "Noblesse Oblige" and the second part "Gestalt".
A slight wardrobe mishap: in the scene at the VCTF when Coop shows Sam the ants for Chloe's ant farm she's wearing a grey jacket with a black shirt underneath. In the next scene in Grace's lab she has a black jacket with a grey top beneath it. Finally, during Sam and Grace's chat Sam is back to wearing the grey jacket/black shirt outfit. This is all supposed to occur during one day.

Here are the basic lyrics to "I Put A Spell On You", the song Jack listens to in the end. Nina Simone is most likely the artist who sings the version used on the show.

I Put A Spell On You

I put a spell on you
'Cause you're mine

You better stop the things you do
I ain't lying
No I ain't lying

You know I can't stand it
You're runnin' around
You know better daddy
I can't stand it 'cause you put me down

I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You're mine

I love ya
I love you
I love you
I love you anyhow
And I don't care
If you don't want me
I'm yours right now

You hear me
I put a spell on you
Because you're mine

Back to the "Shadow Of Angels" guide.

If memory serves me right, this episode was entitled "Judge, Jury and Executioner" on the text television pages of NBC Europe.
In the beginning of the episode, Bailey quotes a few stanzas from a poem by John Donne. Donne is an English poet from the turn of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The poem can be found in the "Songs and Sonets" collection, which was first published in 1635. The lines Bailey said in the episode are in bold face.

The Good Morrow

I wonder, by my troth what thou and I
Did, till we loved? Were we not weaned till then,
But sucked on country pleasures, childishly?
Or snorted we in the Seven Sleepers' den?
'Twas so; but this, all pleasures fancies be.
If ever any beauty I did see,
Which I desired, and got, 'twas but a dream of thee.

And now good morrow to our waking souls,
Which watch not one another out of fear;
For love all love of other sights controls,
And makes one little room an everywhere.
Let sea-discovers to new worlds have gone,
Let maps to others, worlds on worlds have shown;
Let us possess one world; each hath one and is one.

My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears,
And true plain hearts do in the faces rest;
Where can we find two better hemispheres,
Without sharp North, without declining West?
Whatever dies was not mixed equally;
If our two loves be one, or thou and I
Love so alike that none do slacken, none can die.

Back to "Film At Eleven" guide.

Here are the lyrics to the song the NOTW listens to in his truck:

"Sunshine Of Your Love"

The artist: Cream
The album: Disraeli Gears (released in 1967)

It's getting near dawn,
When lights close their tired eyes.
I'll soon be with you my love,
To give you my dawn surprise.
I'll be with you darling soon,
I'll be with you when the stars start falling.

I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love.

I'm with you my love,
The light's shining through on you.
Yes, I'm with you my love,
It's the morning and just we two.
I'll stay with you darling now,
I'll stay with you till my seas are dried up.

I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love.

I'm with you my love,
The light's shining through on you.
Yes, I'm with you my love,
It's the morning and just we two.
I'll stay with you darling now,
I'll stay with you till my seas are dried up.

I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love.

Back to the "Blue Highway" guide.

The footage of Bailey being in Washington and two suits giving him some heat is originally from a scene in "Shadow of Angels" that was cut out.
While Jack is filling out his tax papers, he remarks "Oh what a tangled web we weave". He is quoting from Sir Walter Scott's (1771-1832) "Marmion", a historical romance in tetrameter. The exact quote reads: "Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive!".

Lou Handleman refers to the second victim's murder as a "Kevorkian deal". This remark points to a doctor Jack Kevorkian, who is notorious in the United States for his pro-euthanasia actions. He claims to have helped over 130 people commit suicide and he is currently in a Michigan prison. He was convicted of second degree murder and of using a "controlled substance" (lethal drug).
During the party scene, the song that we hear while Bailey is kicking the guys out of his house, is "Misirlou" by Dick Dale and His Del-Tones. The song was published in 1962. The song that Frances dances to in her room is "Jungle Boogie" by Kool & The Gang. The song was a million seller in 1973, and it can be found in the band's numerous greatest hits collections. Here are the lyrics to the song.

"Jungle Boogie"

The artist: Kool & The Gang
the album: Have A Nice Decade

Back to the "Into The Abyss" guide.

During the first broadcast on NBC Europe (and presumably on the US NBC channel) the end credits of the episode were from "Into The Abyss". On the DVD, the end credits are correct.
