[edit] Plot Holes

  • One is that after a 100 years a van can still run on gasoline after being in storage in the hot desert! Or that it would be inconspicious in contrast with "Future cars"! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.53.145.173 (talk) 15:57, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
I think it's from a Hawthorne short story with the same name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cecikierk (talk • contribs) 05:58, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sabotaged the getaway vehicle?

I think the earlier version of this article missed an important point in stating that De Cruz lost control of the getaway car. We are shown that he pushes the brake and that it simply doesn't work; the car just keeps accelerating.

Moments earlier, De Cruz has asked Brooks to drive and Brooks has vehemently refused, demanding that De Cruz drive instead. I think the strong implication here is that Brooks has secretly cut the brake lines, and thereby hopes to kill De Cruz, whom he obviously doesn't trust. However, this is never actually confirmed in the episode, so I didn't put it in the article.
