Episode Quotes |
| |
Tyler: Did my father know about this? (after a pause) Tell me!
Ellington: Your father is the least of your worries.
| Tyler: (after Jay asks why he's turning toward the Fog estate) He didn't know. He wouldn't sell us out.
Jay: Either way, we can't go back. It's just us now.

The tune that Ellington whistles in the hangar is "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," originally composed by Wallis Willis in 1862. In recent years, there has been speculation as to the tune being a reference to the Underground Railroad, an organization that would help escaped slaves on their journey to the Northern States and later Canada in search of freedom.
In an ironic note, it's fitting that both Jay and Tyler hear this from their pursuer, Ellington, as they try to escape from their situation and prove their innocence,

Analysis |
| |
It seems odd that in every instance where driving is involved, Tyler always seems to be behind the wheel. We know that the feds pulled up Jay's driver's license from California in the pilot; why, then, does he always let Tyler drive?
As shown in the beginning of this episode, Tyler is the better driver. Therefore, Jay lets him drive.
| Tyler: Now they want us dead?!
Considering that the shots fired earlier at Tyler in the van certainly weren't protocol (nor accidental), it shouldn't be a surprise to him that whoever wants them to take the fall for the bombing now wants them dead. Jay and Tyler's deaths create a neat and easy solution to the case (something Agent Chambers seems to want), and it certainly stops the investigation into Will (something Ellington's employers and the Department of Homeland Security seems to want).
