    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Detective Loki's tattoos, Freemason ring, and facial tics were all Jake Gyllenhaal's ideas.
    • Goofs
      Loki finds a victim he believes has been injected with a drug. He looks at the vial briefly before throwing it on the ground and taking the victim away for treatment. Nobody with his training would have thrown the vial away; the label would identify the drug and strength, and give a clue as to the amount used, all helpful for successful treatment.
