There is one huge reason to watch this program-to see what Asten does near the end of the show.
Capturing the criminals is not the end of it, however, as in the process, the guy with the cane stabs Quincy and some time later, Quincy realizes he's been poisoned. When he lands, however, he learns that the federal agents set him up-having called the bad guys and offered to sell them the diamonds.and telling them that the call was from Quincy!! So, almost as soon as he arrives, he's pulled into a crazy world of intrigue.
It turns out the dead man was transporting stolen diamonds-and Quincy finds them inserted surgically in his chest! Now here comes the devious part-the Feds want Quincy to pretend that he found the diamonds AND wants to sell them! But Quincy will have no part of this and leaves for his vacation in Vegas*. His statements against the book lead to him and the department being sued by the author. Quincy and Sam never detect the poison bead-mostly because he was JUST stuck and it would take a while for the effects of the digitalis inside it to take effect. Quincy does battle on a live TV show with the author of a diet book, when he discovers that a model that used it has died. But, before he could die from the poison, he steps in front of a bus and is killed. He bumps into another man 'accidentally' and is stuck with the poison bead (this time, in a cane). The program begins with a courier at the airport.
One was "Hawaii Five-O" and another was this "Quincy" show. Back in 1978, Georgi Markov, a Bulgarian dissident living in Britain, was killed with a diabolical device-an umbrella with a tip that contained a tiny bead filled with ricin! Not surprisingly, several TV shows were inspired by this. When the body of an airline stewardess is found with her stomach cut open, Quincys investigation runs into interference from Internal Affairs, who is certain that a police officer is involved in the drug smuggling operation. These elements cause it to lose a point from me, but otherwise I would characterize this as a good, entertaining episode which is well worth watching.This episode of "Quincy" ("Hot Ice") was obviously inspired by a real-life murder. The only criticisms I have of this episode is that the guilty party makes a very convenient confession at the end and the motive for the murder is a pretty flimsy one. You will see some familiar faces among the guest stars, including a very young Joanna Kerns of Growing Pains fame as Quincy's temporary assistant. I also found there to be a good balance of action and drama in this episode unlike other Season 3 entries which feature too much of one or the other. Part of the plot is based on or inspired by the death of the iconic Bruce Lee, but to me there was enough original content thrown in so that it doesn't feel like a total copycat. Another positive is that there is a murder mystery featured along with several suspects. While Sam and Quincy enjoy a great working relationship and friendship throughout the series, it completely breaks down in this episode with some powerful scenes that make it quite unique. Although his character is a man of science, when that world suddenly collides with his deeply rooted religious and cultural beliefs this sets him up for facing a compelling dilemma. First off, Sam is given a much bigger role than usual and we never see him stand up to Quincy like he does here. I found this to be an interesting and enjoyable episode for several reasons. As a result of Quincy going against the wishes of the family and defying ancient Japanese custom, Sam promptly quits his job.

This proves to be inconclusive, so Quincy proceeds with a full autopsy which uncovers evidence that Tad was in fact killed. Quincy maintains that an autopsy is necessary to determine if the young and otherwise healthy Tad died of natural causes and gets Sam and the family to agree to a non-invasive evaluation. As he is about to do so, he finds out that Sam (Robert Ito), who was also Tad's cousin, sent the body back to the family per Buddhist tradition. The body is later transported to the coroner lab where Quincy (Jack Klugman) is scheduled to perform the autopsy.
