Episode 77- Rising Sun Of Death- 12/4/87

When the Yakuza (the Japanese Mafia) set their sites on taking over Miami, Castillo teams up with a Japanese investigator, who has other reasons for wanting their demise.

Review: I was expecting more of the same from the previous episode. Instead I was pleasantly surprised. Any episode featuring Edward James Olmos in the lead role is usually stellar. No exception in this case. As the years go on, the viewer learns more about Castillo and his sometimes cloudy past. Friends as well as adversaries always seem to find him in some capacity. One of the better episodes of season four and as dark as ever, Rising Sun Of Death also gives the viewer a break from the Sonny/Caitlin saga, with only a few minutes of screen time devoted to the two of them. The late Danny Kamekona (Karate Kid Part II) guest stars.

4 out of 5 stars
