comment
 Chekhov's Gun: It's established early that John Magosh, the victim in "Silent Strike", is a smoker. This initially seems to just be a humanizing character detail until it turns out that him opening the armored car's door slightly to let the smoke ventilate is what gives the robbers the chance to murder him and steal the vehicle.

comment
 Cop Killer: A lot of cases begin with the criminal attempting to murder a police officer, sometimes successfully. This is usually what escalates the case from a local matter to something that needs the FBI's full attention

comment
 Dirty Cop: A few episodes focus on investigations of police corruption: "Shattered Shield" and "Deadly Influence" are broader looks at the New Orleans and Miami Police Departments, while "Brothers Betrayed", "Above the Law" and "Master Plan" look at specific cases in Puerto Rico, California and Chicago.
