Mind control with trigger words taking place back in the 90's. CSA (you mean CIA?) illegal black ops in the Soviet Afghan war. The characters talks about these things not only with a straight face, but like is everyday stuff in their business.
Whodunnit? There were some clues to chase and question marks for a while, but somewhere about half way it became pretty obvious.
Cathy's family stuff is just about as lame. Susan was irrelevant in this one, but Nick is the real James Bond, at least as far as poker face and swagger. Jack is a bit of a wimp.
The ending is the cliché get all the suspects in a room and confront them one by one.
Somehow, despite the lameness I never really thought about turning it off so there was at least some entertainment.
