Goofs:

Plot holes: The team finds a film camera from which someone has ripped the film. Detectives decide that since the suspect only tore away part of the film that they could develop what wasn't taken. However, the only film remaining undamaged would also be unexposed film: i.e., no images. However, they magically get an image to help in their investigation.

Quotes:

Det. Mac Taylor: [sitting next to a comatose woman] I'm so tired. I used to sit like this with my wife. Her name was Claire. She died on 9/11. Nobody saw it coming. I was cleaning out the closet the other day, and I... I found this beach ball. And I remembered it was my wife who blew it up. I never told anybody this, but I got rid of everything that reminded me of Claire. Too painful. The one thing I couldn't throw away was that beach ball. Her breath is still in there.
