Episode question

#1 Post by 500D »

I am new here, and would like to say great forum. I like the Magnum Gear section 8)
I am searching for the name of an episode. What i remember of it is this:

A guy that Magnum had done a favor for (I believe showed him that his wife was not cheating) a few years ago comes back and starts killing prostitutes. Iirc the episode ends with Magnum shooting him on top of a building.

I would greatly appreciate the name of the episode, and if anyone knows it the name of the song at the end of the show. Thanks a lot :)

The song I believe was Mama by Genesis as well.

Great episode.

I loved this one as well. It seems questions are always answered within hours around here. Too bad most businesses can't operate their customer service as efficently as MM answers questions.

I wish I liked my job as much as I like (love???) MPI!!!! As my sister likes to say (usually in a mocking tone) I have a "bro-mance" with Thomas Magnum/Selleck.

Annnnd . . . . welcome 500D! I was remiss in my previous response.

One of my all time favorite episdoes as well. By the way, Magnum shoots him at The War Memorial Pool, not on a roof, and the song Mama plays in the middle of the episode when Magnum is searching thru an alley for another body. A very powerfull scene that I feel shows Tom Sellecks acting ability as he doesn't utter one word during the sequence but you see all of his emotions and thoughts on his face.

that was great one.

Did that episode end seriously, or was there a short cheery/back at the estate scene at the end of it?

Actually it ended with Magnum paddling off alone on his surf ski, puzzled about who The Ripper actually was and then stating his need to be alone on July 4th. Even though they were three seasons apart, it could go right into Home From The Sea with some editing.......

You may or may not be mixing two different shows. Laura ends with a killer falling off a building due to a fight with Frank Sinatra's character.
