TRIVIA (8)
ADD TRIVIA-
Badenweiler, the place in Germany where the plant is located and the inhaler kept, is a very small (and highly unknown village even in Germany) with less than 4.000 inhabitants. No clue why it was chosen as location for an American tv show.
-
When Dixon enters the building to find Patel, he tells to Sydney that the explosive device will be remotely detonated.
Since both Sydney and Dixon would know that to trigger a remote detonator, the remote would have to be in a certain proximity to the bomb; it is unbelievable that they would not have driven Patel directly away from the building after kidnapping him.
-
The Brazilian kid tells Sydney: "Miss, don't worry, you are not dead" and when she asks for the time he replies "I don't know." Later on, Sydney tells the ambulance driver "a doctor... a doctor, please."
-
If the "terrorists" were planning to detonate the bomb in the middle of
an important meeting, why do they try to detonate it when the bomb is
nowhere near the meeting? Seems if they wanted to kill the bomb-carrier,
they would have done it already, instead of implanting a bomb into his body. -
In the scene in Berlin with Sydney walking, we see a blacked out building (Lower Right Hand Corner), and an American flag.
-
Goof: When the car with the bad guys blows up, there is no engine.
-
Goof: When Sydney steals the ambulance, the original driver is visible through the passenger side window. As Sydney pulls away, the driver remains visible while the van moves off frame. Instead of Garner driving the vehicle out of the shot, the camera crew just rolled right to get the appearance of the van taking off and the foley artists inserted a peal-out sound.
-
Sydney and Dixon find out that the bomb inside Patel is controlled by a remote detonator whose range is about 15 meters judging by the distance between the cars during the chase before Jacqnoud can trigger it. As the bomb also equals 300 pounds of TNT how did he plan to survive the UCO bombing if he has to be that close to detonate it and the bomb is that powerful.

QUOTES (11)
ADD QUOTES-
Sydney: He practically apologized.
Vaughn: Sloane did?
Sydney: For thinking maybe I'd mailed him the wrong guy. Imagine that. -
Dixon: Sloane is asking about Berlin. He thinks someone might have gotten to Schiller. He thinks he might be a plant. He wanted to know why you had me change the pick up to Koenig Strasse.
Sydney: I told you, I thought I was being followed.
Dixon: Syd, is there something I should know?
Sydney: No. -
Sydney: How am I supposed to make a double switch invisible to my partner? He'll be there.
Vaughn: You cannot tell him the truth. I mean, he might already know who he's working for. -
Francie: So, what's going on with work? You always talk about work and you haven't even mentioned it today.
Will: You want the truth? I wasn't working on a S.A.T. story. When I bumped into you guys... There is no S.A.T. story. I was trying to track down a woman named Kate Jones. She was supposed to be seated next to Danny on a flight from Singapore to Hong Kong. -
Francie: Okay, so I'm in my Operations and Technology Management class, and I realize two things. One, I prepared the wrong chapter.
Sydney: No!
Francie: I don't want to talk about it. And two, you and I are going to have a Halloween party. -
Sydney: (about Patel) What I'm about to say, Dixon, you just have to believe me.
Dixon: Of course.
Sydney: The bomb we're looking for, it's inside of him.
Dixon: What? -
Sydney: Jaqnoudd just turned a Peace Prize winner into a human bomb, which is not good.
-
Sloane: (during a briefing) This is the Hensel Corporation, a Germany based chemical conglomerate, they make ibuprofen, hand lotion, toothpaste. They also have a multimillion dollar research and development fund, with ties going back to World War II and the Third Reich... they don't list the last part in their annual stock report.
-
Sydney: I don't know how much longer I can do this. Sit in these meetings with Sloane. Look at him as if I don't despise him, as if I don't want to leap across the table and use the skills I've learned at SD-6 against him.
-
Marshall: This transmitter will override the CPU and make the network think that you are the sys admin-- the system administrator.
-
Sydney: Is that Will?
Francie: Maybe he's here to talk to you about the humiliating kiss.
Sydney: Stop calling it that.
Francie: That's what it was.

"I'm Wrong About Everything" by John Wesley Harding

The casting of the hacker is an in-joke since Kevin Mitnick is one of the world's most famous hackers, and was jailed for three years. Due to the conditions of his release that he could not use a computer, his parole officer had to be notified and the computer, monitor, and keyboard he used were not connected.
