[edit] Background information and notes

  • This is Lance Reddick's first appearance as Medical Examiner Taylor.
  • This is also J.K. Simmons' first appearance as Dr. Emil Skoda in episodes from Special Victims Unit. Dr. Skoda was a regular character in Law & Order.
  • This episode contains a number of references to the 1949 film The Third Man. Shared plot elements include mental retardation, illegal traffic in prescription drugs, dialogue mentioning cuckoo clocks, and of course the title. In the Law & Order episode "Fluency" Jack McCoy interrogates a defendant by describing in meticulous detail the roller coaster scene in this film. The suspect, charged with second degree murder for selling counterfeit packages of influenza vaccines resulting in the deaths of 16 people, breaks down while recounting the scene himself.
