In my opinion, this one stank. The flashback: Nick and the bounty hunter drink out of the same bottle, but the curare is only in what Nick swallows? Or if the antidote is in the little bottle the bounty hunter drinks at the end, why does the curare affect Nick without affecting the bounty hunter at the same time? And of course everyone was far too tidy out there in the dusty desert: LaCroix's spiffy black duds may be blown clean during flight, but upon landing the dust would have risen and given him a golden glow.
The cop show part was adequate, but Delahanty went on far too long with the "friends forever" bit; if Schanke weren't so hosed with cabin fever, even he would have started to smell a rat after the 50th or so declaration of undying friendship. As it was, it was simply dull. I'd give this one a score of 3 myself.
