In this episode, Tony has never heard of Shane (1953), Alan Ladd, Elisha Cook Jr., or The Maltese Falcon (1941). Yet, in many other episodes, he is a movie expert, and usually the one to make references to movies, actors and characters.
At 12:39- Mr. Gamal states that "younger (Afghan) detainees feel more comfortable with female interrogators". At the time this episode was aired (and, for the most part, even today) Afghan women had NO RIGHTS and men treated them like property. Any Afghan man would REFUSE to speak to a woman who was questioning him.
Doctor Mallard explains that the emerald would have obstructed the intestinal tract causing perforation of the peritoneum leading to hemorrhage, infection and death.
A sharp object in the intestinal tract would first perforate it, directly causing hemorrhage, then infection and death. The peritoneum, which separates the interior of the abdomen from the muscular abdominal wall, would not need to be involved at all for death to have occurred.
When told there are 120 detainees and 20 barracks, Tony says the odds are 6 to 1 against his target being billeted in the same barracks. The probability is 1/6, but the "odds against" are 5 to 1. Probability is desired/total outcomes, while odds against is undesired vs. desired outcomes (and fractions are reduced).
Tony is supposedly sleeping in the nude when he wakes up to find an iguana in his bed. However, after Kate and Gibbs burst in, guns drawn, and find him naked, we can see a bit of tape sticking up on his right hip. Clearly, Michael Weatherly;s modesty was actually preserved on the set.
At 38:54- Nasser is given a new jumpsuit with a hidden "minicam". He should have noticed it as he dressed because in 2003 "minicams" that could transmit a signal were, at the bare minimum, the size of a pack of playing cards.
Tony, later portrayed as a film expert, seems to have little knowledge of movies or movie actors. He recognizes neither "Shane" nor "The Maltese Falcon".
When the team learns that a son-in-law of Osama bin Laden is a detainee at Gitmo, Kate incorrectly pluralizes the phrase. She says "son-in-laws" instead of "sons-in-law".
At 19:06- Tony is asked if he's ever broken a rule and his answer is "if the risk is worth it" which makes no sense. "If the REWARD is worth it" is what the self-absorbed playboy should have answered.
