Goofs

The location of the incision made in order to remove Dr. Hill's brain tumor doesn't coincide with its location on various MRIs and PET scans. In fact, surgeons would have to cut through several inches of healthy tissue to access the tumor, while a lower incision would have skirted this issue at least somewhat.

Quotes

Dr. Tony Hill: It's the hand we don't see.
DCI Carol Jordan: What do you mean?
Dr. Tony Hill: It's the times the cards told him not to shoot. Queen, Jack, Seven. Jung's theory of synchronicity says there are links between events beyond cause and effect. Patterns the conscious mind can't perceive.
[pause]
Dr. Tony Hill: There is no such thing as coincidence or accident.
DCI Carol Jordan: Did Jung say that as well?
Dr. Tony Hill: No, that was Joe Stalin. And he was one of history's greatest murderers, second only to cancer.
