Mistake Continuity: During the interrogation, Manolo's coat sleeve is torn at the seam. But when he leaves the room, the sleeve has no tear.

So Long, Patrick Henry (season 1, episode 1)

Carry Me Back to Old Tsing-Tao (season 1, episode 3)

Mistake Continuity: As they speak to the old man in the cottage, Kelly's hands alternate from being hidden below the table's edge to resting on top of the table several times between takes.

Mistake Continuity: The three bad guys are standing over Scott and Kelly after beating them up and stealing the gold. When the shot cuts to an alternate angle, all three of them instantly change positions.

Mistake Audio problem: During Scott and Kelly's conversation at the bistro table, so much equipment noise is picked up by the mike that portions of the dialog are drowned out.

This Guy Smith (season 3, episode 18)

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: As Kelly is getting dressed in the hospital room, someone's shadow strolls across the floor in front of him. Scott is standing still, and no one else is there, so the shadow must belong to a film crew member.

One Thousand Fine (season 1, episode 28)
