Written and directed by David Greene who found great success in American television.
The final episode called Escape also breaks the Drake formula.
It owes more to the World War 2 and the impact of psychological torture. This includes fake executions.
Drake is washed ashore an island run by the Spanish. The Governor (Barry Morse) wants to keep the gild from the island a secret.
He needs to find out just who this stranger is and why is he here. The Governor foregoes physical torture, he has more subtle methods in mind.
It is to Drake's advantage that the Governor does not know who this intruder is. However the cell contains an old man, a living specimen of the Governor's methods.
A fascinating story, I thought this was all an elaborate ploy by Drake. Maybe Drake needs to rely on pure luck to be saved. The ending is abrupt.
