* HellYesMoment: By the time Michael confronts Carmelo, Sam is this close to getting shot. Needless to say, Sam is quite relieved.
* IronicEcho: Manaro and Bailey justify not extracting Sam by saying he's not mission critical, only to have that thrown back in their faces after Michael makes a deal with Carmelo.
-->'''Michael:''' You said the Serbs couldn't find out the CIA was involved, but Carmelo finding out? That wasn't ''mission critical'', was it?

* BlatantLies: Knowing they have government support, Carmelo and his men barely even try for a believable story. They went for a picnic at the marina when they were randomly attacked by Serbs, who they were able to fight off because fortunately they brought guns instead of food to their picnic.
