Harry is called mysteriously during a party. Contessa joins him as he investigates the call, once he meets his contact, a lady, and is shot in the chest. He survives but in the hospital another attempt is made upon his life. Not one to stay lying in a hospital bed, Harry investigates himself. The trail leads to the hotel where the lady is staying. The lady is the daughter of a man that Harry got put away and she is now seeking revenge for his death in prison. However, it appears that this was a rouse so the daughter could find out who her fathers “business associates are and act out revenge. The leaves do not fall far from the tree in this crime garden.
Personal Synopsis
This episode has the beautiful Anna Palk playing the revenge minded daughter. The story of revenge acted out by the daughter is common within the crime fiction TV world but the Protectors added some twists and turns to hit Harry close to home. A good episode and one with a climax I did not expect at all.
