    • Trivia

    • Goofs
      When Jose throws a knife closely past Barton's head, the knife zips past Jose before his arm finishes the throwing motion. This is probably because the knife was either mechanically propelled or thrown by an off-screen expert to make the stunt safer than it would be if the actor had thrown the knife.
    • Quotes
      • Jose Esqueda: The strong will fight the strong, Señora, for possession of the weak. You see, it's not a personal matter at all.
      • Cordelia Cameron: And the meek shall never inherit the earth.
      • Jose Esqueda: Only six feet of it, Señora.
