Plot:
Kelly and Scott are assigned to guard Senator John Parkhurst from Guadalajara to the airport in Mexico City. But assassins have substituted a look-a-like for the senator, and sent them on the run for murder, intent on keeping them away from the imposter and their ultimate intention: ... to assassinate the President of the United States.

D. P. Cole's review and rating:
Okay, it's a "let's try to kill the president" story. It's a great idea to aim at the heart of America for once... But a pity it was badly written, complete with the tritiest of trite concepts: Framing of the heroes. (is that expression trite?)
By this point in the series' history, frame-up stories have become too common and no longer prove themselves to be entertaining. Kelly's discovery of the phony-senator's eye-color (a contact lens popped out of his eye) and Kelly's later berating of Scott, telling him to listen the next time he sees a guy with two different-colored eyes is quite wrong, Scott is usually the more intelligent of the two and despite knowing Kelly all this time, refuses to believe him utterly -- they still could have stopped the enemy agents before getting caught in the framework which makes up their lives, and why exactly did Scotty (whose Rhoades Scholar characteristics have now virtually disappeared...) disbelieve Kelly after all these years of working together, as Kelly has proven himself as reliable.
I suppose I like the story, but the concept of framing Scott and Kelly is extremely trite and I'm tired of it. If there was a fourth season, I'd hope they would not have a single frame-up story in it! No no no no no!
Rating: 5/10
