Continuity mistake: When Gibbs and the team meet the sheriff and ask to be shown the crime scene, he states that it was in the Edenvale motel room 8. In the opening scene the door that the gentleman knocked on and subsequently got his feet covered in blood from the body bleeding out was room 1. (00:00:50 - 00:04:05)
Continuity mistake: When Abby is talking to Gibbs about getting a tattoo, he goes from looking at her computer screen to her in between shots. There's a straight cut, so there was no time for him to turn his head. (00:06:55)
Continuity mistake: When Gibbs drops the nails on the food carton, the position of the nails goes from spread out to grouped together instantly. (00:19:50)
Visible crew/equipment: When Gibbs is on the phone with Sharif, Gibbs asks him, "Who were they? Wife? Family?" and just as he says the word "wife" we can see an actor's red tape mark on the floor at the corner of DiNozzo's desk, which wasn't there a minute earlier when McGee walked over to DiNozzo. (00:31:30 - 00:32:45)
Continuity mistake: When Sharif calls Gibbs to gloat, when Sharif ends the call, the shot cuts to Gibbs closing his cell phone, shot cuts to McGee and Col. Mann, when it cuts back to Gibbs, he is closing his phone again. We can even hear the phone close both times. (00:33:10)
Continuity mistake: During the scene where Gibbs chases Shariff into the railway station restroom, Gibbs' position on The Wall changes, his gun hand passes the corner of The Wall at least three times. Also as he starts to fall to the floor, the long shot from low angle close to the urinals shows Gibbs holding the gun with both hands and they are moving to his right, his left shoulder going into he wall. At the cut, the gun is in his right hand only and moving across his body to the left and his right shoulder is now going into The Wall. The shot cuts to Shariff, who has moved about a foot to his right during the cut, then cuts back to both Gibbs and Shariff, Shariff has returned to his original position and the gun has moved to Gibbs left hand, although we don't really see the gun until he falls and Shariff picks it up, thus ruling out the possibility of the gun being dropped before he falls. (We do hear the gun hit the floor as he falls.) (00:40:10)
Continuity mistake: In the Episode "Sharif Returns" When Ducky shows Gibbs the eye in the gladd vial, it alternates between being completely submerged in the fluid to sticking out the top.
Factual error: The inspector is suffering from thallium poisoning. However, everyone is using various radiation detection methods to detect the thallium. Natural thallium is not radioactive. Of the artificial thallium, the only with a half-life long enough to last long enough to pose a problem is too weakly radioactive to be a significant hazard.
Other mistake: When Ziva signs the will, she signs it with her real name - "Cote" is visible.
Suggested correction: No. We see in the closeup Ziva David writing her name, and the shot cuts away just as she starts to write the last "d" in David (timecode 00:28:00).
Visible crew/equipment: When Ducky and Jimmy start working on The Meat Puzzle, Ducky says, "Let's put Adam on the left and Eve on the right." In the next shot a crew member wearing a red shirt and khakis is visible at the right side of the screen. (00:05:55)
