Episode Quotes

Mistakes/Goofs

• Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Police Chief Max Kilmore begs for mercy from the two Middle Eastern agents, they tell him they won't harm him but will request extradition "according to the United Nations charter." Extradition procedures between countries are bound by special international treaties, not by the U.N. Charter.

Trivia

• The character played by Frances Lee McCain (Leslie Callahan) is referenced in dialogue as "almost twice as old as" and "almost 15 years older than" the character played by Bill Thornbury (Paul Lowe Douglas), who is said to be 21 in dialogue. However, McCain (born 1944) was only 8 years older than Thornbury (born 1952). McCain was playing older than her age, while Thornbury was playing younger than his age.
• This is the second episode in a row, after 4:19 (The Competitive Edge), where the phrase "Head on a stick..." was used, although the stories/cases were unrelated, the writers and directors are different, and the meanings of the phrase were different. In The Competitive Edge, "Head on a stick..." refers to a drug cocktail, and in The Prisoner of Rosemont Hall, "Head on a stick..." refers to actual potential beheading.
• One of the streets of the fictional university is called Linus Pauling Avenue. Linus Pauling was a famous scientist who twice won the Nobel Prize.
