Goofs[]
- Adrian uses his "DENIED" stamp on Charles' papers and the initial stamp leaves some gaps. In the next shot all letters are clearly filled.
The stamp half inked
The stamp perfectly filled in
- The hexadecimal code "52 61 79 6d 6e 64 20 48 6f 6c 74" spells "Raymond Holt" and it would not fit a 15 character requirement for a Twitter handle. Raymond Holt's correct hexadecimal code would be "52 61 79 6d 6f 6e 64 20 48 6f 6c 74."
