Notes

add »
Griffin Dunne was billed as Special Guest Star in this episode. (edit)
The final code was supposed to be Ryan's brother's birth date - 1124 November 24th. However people from the British isles use the day then the month. Ryan has a London accent and an Irish name so whichever way you look at it he would have used 2411 i.e. 24th November. (edit)
Music from this episode includes:
"Whiskey In The Jar" by N/A
"All My Life" by Rosie Thomas (edit)
Melissa George (Lauren Reed) does not appear in this episode. (edit)

Quotes

add »
Weiss: That was good, right? It's called method acting: I was shot in the neck once - I can do it again. (edit)
Jack: There's no white light. Not for people like you. (edit)
Ryan: There's loads of things I'm really good at. Some, I'm exceptional at. One of them is poker. Ahh, I love poker. Play twice a week. My friends come 'round, they bring their money, they lose their money. I always win. Do you know why? I can see a bluff a mile away. (edit)

Trivia

add »
We learn the identity of the "unimportant man" Sydney killed in the flashback of "Full Disclosure." (edit)
Number 47: The deactivation code for the bomb aboard the plane that Daniel Ryan gives Dixon is 594-477-459-1124. (edit)
Weiss mentions the time he was shot in "The Enemy Walks In." (edit)
In the bar scene between Daniel Ryan and Agent Weiss, the extra's accents are in the wrong dialect. Their accents are clearly southern, and if you listen closely, one man mentions cork. (edit)
The license/registration plate on the SUV that pulls up behind the Belfast bar, is a white and blue European Union issue plate that is only found in the Republic of Ireland. If it was registered in Belfast, the plates would be yellow, but would not display a year, which is also only seen in Southern Ireland. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Marshall: Anyone ever hear of quantum entanglement?

Quantum entanglement is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which the quantum states of two or more objects have to be described with reference to each other, even though the individual objects may be spatially separated. (edit)
