Trivia
DCS Foyle's determination to travel to America to take care of some unfinished business refers to the events of Fifty Ships (2003), during which, for purposes of the war, Foyle was forced to release a murderer. The final outcome is revealed at the start of the next series, The Eternity Ring (2013).

Goofs
After discussing with Milner, Foyle realises that the letter is coded and the address must be a letter drop for an intelligence service. Dillon denies that the addressee lives at the hotel, but offers to take the letter in case the person comes to collect it, which confirms to Foyle that the hotel is a letter drop. He says to Dillon "why would you do that?" Foyle only offers his surname because he is already known to the intelligence services, confirmed earlier in this episode, and in previous episodes. Dillon makes an immediate phone call and not long after, Foyle is picked up by Military Intelligence, Section 9 (MI9). MI9 specialised in helping British prisoners of war escape - an underlying theme of the episode.

Quotes
DI Paul Milner: So... this is goodbye.
Christopher Foyle: Yeah, looks like it. You're on your own now.
DC Perkins: He's got me, sir.
Christopher Foyle: Precisely.

very beautiful

I am glad to read that others thought as highly of this magnificent episode in a magnificent series. Michael Kitchen's performance and the character he created is so touching as to almost move me to tears.His acting is a marvel of subtlety, in fact his acting becomes so intense in its understatement I sometimes can't look at him. Yes, Foyle knows everything. But more importantly, he feels everything too. I am sure Horowitz deserves some credit for creating a character that Kitchen can so perfectly inhabit. But I really credit Kitchen, he must have deliberately developed the looks and mannerisms to make the points he wanted to make.He is the Maria Callas of actors.
