Continuity mistake: Lt. Richard Tufts arrived at Capt. Quincy Wyatt's camp. A child walks up to him and starts checking his cavalry sword out. The position of the kid's hands keep changing between shots, and when Monk tells him he's the son of the captain, Tufts' hand is suddenly on the handle of the saber. (00:07:10)
