THICK AS THIEVES
Nick and Amanda are hired to protect a
casino from robbery only to be outfoxed by an Immortal friend of
Amanda's - a thief whose rule of not killing sits badly with the
veteran Interpol detective who's hot on his trial. Which side will
Amanda side with? And how will Jeremy react?
Production Notes
 | Production number: 98118-218 |
| Original US
airdate: 24th April, 1999 |
| Written by:
James Thorpe |
| Directed by:
George Mendeluk |

Flashbacks
| 1554, England
Jeremy and Amanda pose as monks to steal from the court of Queen
Mary (or Bloody Mary as she became known). They part on good terms -
Jeremy more reluctantly than Amanda it seems. |
Other Immortals
| Jeremy Dexter |
Trivia
| Jan Triska reprises the role he played in the
original series: E10, 'The Valkyrie'.
He has a rich and varied CV on both sides of the Atlantic - see
here. |
| Stephen Moyer was most recently seen in the BBC1
drama Lilies. |
| The flashback is ordinarily split over the course
of the episode, but in this case it's shown in one long chunk. |
Verdict
A timely reminder that not all Immortals are black and white -
Jeremy's character is well-rounded and his eventual fate, along with
that of Breslaw, is a satisfying one, but the episode suffers for
lumping its flashback into one long scene, which disrupts the story's
overall flow. B
