    • Goofs
      During a hand combat (fight) scene in the parking lot between Special Agent Kensi Blye and Private Scott Riley when Kensi is pushed to the ground lying prone, you can see a protective pad in her lumbar region; she is also not carrying a sidearm. Later, during the same fight/foot chase scene she arrests the Private and is now carrying a holstered sidearm on right rear belt.
