A Man Called Hawk: Poison [White Poison]

Burbank, CA: Warner Brothers / American Broadcasting Company [ABC], 1989. First Draft script for the season one, episode eight of the 1989 television show, originally broadcast March 25, 1989 on ABC, here under the working title "White Poison." Virgil Vogel credited here as Director, but Harry Falk would receive final credit as Director of the episode.

"Hawk" was based on a character from the crime drama series "Spencer: For Hire" (1985-1988). Avery Brooks, an African American actor reprising his role from the former series, starred as the sharp-dressed, streetwise, sunglasses-wearing, elongated Colt revolver-toting vigilante, with a deep sense of being.

In this episode, Hawk is tracking the source of heroin laced with strychnine, but his task is constantly interrupted by a nosy reporter.
