"Death Carrier" is a pretty exciting episode of "S.W.A.T.". It begins with a very ordinary looking man (the very familiar character actor, David Sheiner) climbing to the roof of a building and making an absolutely amazing shot at a passing car--killing the driver. However, no other shots are fired--the ordinary guy appeared intent on just killing this guy.
During the investigation, things get WEIRD. When interviewing the victims friends and co-workers, they find that he had a girlfriend (Ronne Troup). Here's the weird part....this is NOT the first boyfriend she had who was killed by this mysterious figure!! It seems she is a carrier, of sorts! Someone is killing every guy she dates--and dating someone else is the furthest thing from her mind!! However, Harrelson (Steve Forrest) convinces her to have a new 'boyfriend'--Officer Street (Robert Urich). Street's job is to pose as her new boyfriend to flush out his murderous nut! Overall, it's a pretty good episode. I especially like that the nut-case was such a thoroughly ordinary looking guy. Well done all around--plus my wife was impressed that it featured Urich, as she thinks he was amazingly hot back in 1975 (whatever...).
