- TriviaThe border crossing scene was shot at a real border crossing in Tijuana that is no longer in use. The show was granted special permission by the Mexican government to fire guns at this location.
- GoofsThe scenes just after Travis, Maddy and Alicia leave the hotel show a full moon setting on the Pacific. A full moon setting in the west would only happen within the last hour or so of night. Yet, they eventually arrive at the supermarket in full dark some time later. Also, in one scene as they're driving north along the coast, the setting full moon is ahead of them, just west of north. In Baja, the moon would be much more to their left, toward the west.

Luciana: [in Spanish] Well, you failed.
Alejandro: [in Spanish] Nick's right. This is ending.
Luciana: [in Spanish] Not for us. Only for you. Lie to them again before you go.
