* HopeSpot: The triggering of the truck's alarm brings Eckehart to the steel mill to see what is going on (being the only person who heard it), but he gets shot (and his personal radio is destroyed) and Ty has to drag him into the truck to try to keep him from bleeding to death.

* ObliviousGuiltSlinging: Ty tries to persuade [[spoiler:Palmer]] to let him go while talking about how he hasn't hurt anyone. [[spoiler:Palmer]] has just killed [[spoiler:Dobbs]], and hearing Ty say that makes him cry and then scream for Ty to shut up.


Added DiffLines:

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Ty adamantly refuses to take part in the robbery, and it is implied that the others are (unhappily) willing to abandon the robbery if he doesn't join them. Then, mere minutes later, a Child Services agent shows up to tell Ty that he's likely to lose custody of Jimmy due to their financial situation. The pressure she puts on Ty leads to him joining the others and several people dying.

Added DiffLines:

* TechnologyMarchesOn: InUniverse. The armored trucks of Eagle Shield do not have GPS transponders, which means the only thing a guard has to do to report in is to use the radio and they can move around at their leisure (which allows them to do such things as haze the new guy with a faked attack). It is mentioned early on that the trucks will be upgraded with GPS units and other security measures soon, which means that the group only has one shot at pulling off the heist, even if they are on the inside.
