- TriviaAfter appearing on the city block set used several times in early seasons, "Herbert's Delicatessen" is an empty, for-rent storefront here.
- GoofsThe newspaper headline says Mannix captured a suspected blackmailer, but the story is just a bunch of random words strung together in a nonsensical sentence.
- Quotes
Joe Mannix: [Kathy tells him about a dream she had in which he died] I was dead? And that's why you're here?
Kathy Warren: Yes. I'm afraid it might actually happen.
Joe Mannix: Because of your dream?
Kathy Warren: I don't know how to explain my dreams to you, Mr. Mannix... except that they do come true. I saw you killed, on a black horse like Major.
Joe Mannix: Major?
Kathy Warren: Yes, at the riding club. One of the stable hands rides him a lot. I saw you there. There was blood on your hand from... from where'd you fallen.
[Joe shows her his hands to reveal that there is no blood on them]
Kathy Warren: Oh, I know how tempting it must be for you to laugh at me, Mr. Mannix.
Joe Mannix: There is one thing, Miss Warren. Considering we've never met before, I was wondering how I happened to be in your dream in the first place?
Kathy Warren: Oh, I... I don't know.
[Peggy knocks on Joe's office door]
Joe Mannix: Yeah, Peggy?
Peggy Fair: Excuse me. Correspondence from New York. You wanted it the minute you came in. Morning paper. And the press is still hounding us for information.
Joe Mannix: Yeah, well, it can wait. Thanks, Peggy.
Kathy Warren: [looks at the newspaper Peggy brought in] Maybe here!
Joe Mannix: What?
Kathy Warren: Maybe this is how you got into my dream. I read about you in last night's paper.
Joe Mannix: Oh.
Kathy Warren: It's quite a novelty these days. A man risking his life to do something positive for someone else. It's possible I... I just felt that you were something worth saving. I know that only makes it seem more ridiculous to you.
Joe Mannix: Well, I can certainly see that *you* believe in your dream?
Kathy Warren: Oh, it's not a gift, you know. It's not an easy way to pick winners in horse races or lotteries. I can only imagine things when something important is involved, like... pain, sorrow, or death.
Joe Mannix: Go on.
Kathy Warren: Could you do me a favor?
Joe Mannix: If I can.
Kathy Warren: I... I haven't told you the rest of the dream, and I'm not going to now, 'cause you really wouldn't be able to keep a straight face. On this particular day, be careful of lightning.
Joe Mannix: Lightning?
Kathy Warren: Yes. On a street that begins with the letter "W".
Joe Mannix: "W"?
[the intercom on his desk buzzes]
Joe Mannix: Excuse me.
[talks into the intercom]
Joe Mannix: Yeah, Peggy?
Peggy Fair: Lieutenant Malcolm on the line. He says it's important.
Joe Mannix: Yeah, well, uh, in just a second.
Kathy Warren: You really aren't laughing at me, are you?
Joe Mannix: For going out of your way to try and help a total stranger? No, I'm not laughing at you.
Kathy Warren: Well, you made this a lot easier than I expected it to be. I'll remember that when we meet again.
Joe Mannix: Oh? Are we going to meet again?
Kathy Warren: Yes, about 2:00. You see, we're in this together.
Joe Mannix: Huh.
Kathy Warren: Good-bye, Mr. Mannix.
Joe Mannix: Good-bye, Miss Warren.
Yes, there are folks blessed with special abilities, and this is a neat story all about a twentysomething psychic named Kathy, well played by popular actress Brenda Scott. She has a message for Joe --DOOM! The thing is Mannix deals in reality, but what could be behind all the dangerous things happening to him?
An original mystery written by Stephen Kandal, who wrote several other episodes for the series, later alternating with CANNON and HARRY O. Of course, Joe isn't killed, however, his luck seems to always go south; Kathy predicts a second incident. Talk about paranoia. This all stems from her seeing Joe's photo in the newspaper, kind of with a TWIGHT ZONE slant at work here.
The supporting cast is spot on with Kim Hunter playing Kathy's mom (Angela) and Paul Stewart as a doctor, one of the most convincing actors in the business, well remembered to movie buffs for CITIZEN KANE. Prior to this episode, Kim Hunter finished her second appearance as Zira in BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES.
Well directed by Seymour Robbie who gets a lot from this cast, and Scott is good in this type of role.
Brenda Scott, interestingly, is the niece of legendary comedy actress Mae Busch, who acted with LAUREL AND HARDY. If you look closely at Brenda's face, she looks a bit like her famous aunt at times!
Filmed around Hollywood, which all us old residents love! Nothing much has changed! Recommended late night stuff. Season 4 Episode 12 (Dec 1970) remastered CB/Paramount dvd box set.
