ok, ive just watched the first episode yet. and i need to know.
is the other 5 episodes continuing the story about the marlow and how he got burned?

i loved the first ep(/movie?), even tho it ended brutally directly without an ending, and i couldnt figure out all the english cause of the bad quality of my copy =)

one sentance i loved tho was "a rat always knows where its tail is" just that one made me fall totally in love with the movie from that moment on!

this will make it 2 questions, but any recommendations for similar detective stories? (one i can recommend is body heat btw)

thanks

Just one thing: He did't get burnt, he's got psoriatic arthropathy, it's a skin disease

If you watched the first episode, you didn't watch closely. It explains quite well that he has psoriatic arthropathy. He was never burned.
