Errors and inconsistencies[]

  • When dispatch radios back to the cop that pulled Kevin Carroll & Teri Bauer over, he confirms that a 9-1-1 call was placed from there in the last half hour. But since the 9-1-1 call took place near the end of the previous episode (Day 1: 2:00am-3:00am) and it is now 3:44am, it was closer to 50-60 minutes ago than 30, as the dispatcher claims.
  • The license plate of Alan York's (Kevin Carroll's) car changes from 4IEH746 to 4TWO520 at the end of the episode.
  • Actor Mike Siegel's name is misspelled as "Mike Siegal" in the closing credits.
  • Jack leaves his phone in his car when investigating 18166 San Fernando Road, however it later rings in his pocket when he is pursuing Penticoff.
  • At one point, Penticoff tells Jack to throw down his gun, and Jack's name appears on the subtitles instead.
  • Gaines says, "She been any trouble?" Rick answers, but the subtitles say Dan's name.
