Cole tortures Sloane by injecting a super-concentrated derivative of hot sauce. Capsaicin, the active chemical ingredient in spicy foods like hot sauce, has a paradoxical effect at sufficiently high doses: instead of causing pain, it relieves it. It's a common ingredient in topical pain relieving ointments. edit »

Quentin Tarantino is billed as a Special Guest Star. edit »
Music from this episode includes:
"Rockaway" by Jesse Harris & The Ferdinandos
"Songbird" by Fleetwood Mac edit »

McKenas Cole: (to Sydney) Yeah, you didn�t want to kiss me, but working for a scumbag like Sloane, that�s alright by you. Well let me tell you something about that weasel boss of yours, he will disappoint you, one day and hope to God I�m there when that day happens, you will hate him. edit »
(Sydney and Vaughn attempt to defuse one of the explosive charges)
Sydney: You studied bomb defusing at Langley?
Vaughn: Just seminar style, nothing field specific.
Sydney: Does anyone learn anything at seminars? edit »
(Sydney and Vaughn find one of the explosive fail-safes)
Vaughn: There�s got to be at least 200 Lbs. here, enough to level the building.
Sydney: It�s a fail-safe, Sloane has 3 of these rigged to the vault in case-
Vaughn: 3!?
Sydney: The doors opens they all blow.
Vaughn: Then maybe they shouldn�t open the vault.
Sydney: "They" being the 6 men with machine guns. edit »
Sydney: Dixon contacted you?
Vaughn: Not directly. Through Langley. Said SD-6 was under attack. Are you okay?
Sydney: It's true. There's a team of six, maybe seven. They've got the latest military specs. They're after something in the vault. edit »
Weiss: And what if there has been a takeover?
Vaughn: (gets his gun out of his locker and loads it) If I'm not back in a couple of hours, I'm probably dead.
Weiss: Good to know. edit »

Will: (holding a black wig) I looked like Gabe Kaplan.
Gabriel Kaplan, a.k.a. Gabe Kaplan, is an actor best known for his part as Gabe Kotter in Welcome Back, Kotter, a hit sitcom of the 70's which is why Kelly didn't know whom Will was talking about. edit »
Visual: Ship named "Alba Varden"
The name of the ship where Will gets the envelope is the "Alba Varden". This is an in-joke reference to the same ship with the same name in the movie Lethal Weapon 2. edit »
Haladki: (answering the phone) Extraction Teams "R" Us?
This is obviously a pun on "Toys R US," the massive toy store chain. edit »
