Notes

add »
This is the last episode for Tracy Scoggins (Cat Grant). Apparently, ABC thought her character was too racy for a show airing at 8 PM. She can also be seen in the 5th season of Babylon 5 and it's spin-off Crusade. (edit)

Title
The title and the episode's plot are a tribute to the movie Die Hard, in which robbers, posing as terrorists, took over a building. (edit)
Perry: ...like that mess Geraldo got into that one time.
Journalist and talk show host Geraldo Rivera did a 2-hour live special also involving breaking into the safe of a dead mobster: "The Mystery of Al Capone's Vault". This 1986 broadcast garnered a massive rating for number of viewers, but was very anticlimactic; instead of finding the bones of the famous gangster, only a pile of dirt and a few bottles of moonshine were uncovered.
