EPISODE

11. Just a Coupla Guys

This episode features none of the supporting characters and Rockford appears in only a few scenes. The episode is mainly a chance for David Chase to write about New Jersey mobsters. Except this episode isn't anything like "The Sopranos". The biggest problem is that the two protagonists (the "Coupla Guys" in the title) aren't very interesting characters.

Plot summary

Rockford is flown to New Jersey, but when he learns the case involves organized crime figures he wants no part of it. As circumstances unfold Rockford ends up advising a born again ex-mafia don, Joseph Lombard (Gilbert Green), on a matter that involves a dead body that was stolen in its casket. Also around are two neighbourhood toughs, Eugene ( Greg Antonacci ) and Mickey ( Gene Davis ), who have latched onto Lombard believing he is their ticket to becoming ‘connected’. They’re not overly bright, but may have stumbled across the path of a hired killer, in town on business. With Antony Ponzini, Simon Oakland, Arch Johnson, Robin Riker, Cliff Carnel, Jennifer Rhodes, Dean Wein, Eric Sinclair and Vince Howard.
