Jackson is being put in the ambulance, it is standard practice to strap the patient to the gurney for safety reasons, which is not done - nor can any straps be seen as the ambulance pulls away. 27168 When Samuel L. Jackson tries to get into Niebaum's computer he lets the secretary tell him the password.
