Penny for a peep show mannix10/30/2023 ![]() Not a well written show, that's for sure but it does have its moments. Mannix is visited by a young woman named Celia James, who somewhat reluctantly explains that her uncle recently visited her and left behind a briefcase. It's still exciting but having Mannix play the bad detective on the take didn't ring true-he's been around for a long time and anyone in the know would understand this is all a ruse. Three thugs hold Mannix, Peggy, and a woman hostage, claiming they want the 312,000 she has in a briefcase at home, but they may be after something even more valuable. Peters and the targets is too great for a shotgun to cause such damage the pellet dispersal would be too wide, and the pellets might not even penetrate the targets. This show has some exciting moments but Celia's character never really made sense-nor did the perfect timing. Peters is shooting at Mannix on the target range, he blows large holes in the targets with his shotgun. It has something to do with something in the briefcase other than the money-and that's a problem since it accidentally caught on fire and no one seems certain what it was-except for the man behind the kidnapping. About midway through the show, the hostage standoff is resolved-but now Mannix and the cops want to dig deeper to discover who was behind this and why. However, before Mannix can even begin the investigation, some desperadoes storm into the office and hold everyone hostage. Why she didn't just go to the cops was never clear. The show begins with a woman named Celia coming to Mannix with a quandary-she's been left with a briefcase and when the guy didn't come back for it, she looked inside and found a fortune.
