15	!!Tropes:
16	* BigDamnHeroes: The Mexican Federale and Skinner arrive at the right time to apprehend the corrupt cops out to kill Reyes and Doggett when they are trapped in a bus.
17	* BittersweetEnding: More sweet than bitter. Doggett and Reyes are saved in time by Skinner and the Federales, Caballero is caught and Doggett regains his memories. The [[DarkAndTroubledPast bad ones]] as well as the [[PapaWolf good]] [[ThePowerOfFriendship ones]].
18	* HeroicBSOD: Doggett freezes up at first when his traumatic memories return to him, leaving it to Reyes to take charge.
19	* HeroicSecondWind: Reyes is able to snap him out of his shock, and some of the old Doggett returns, taking charge again.
20	* InMediasRes: Doggett wakes up in Mexico, no clue as to who he is or how he got there.
21	* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Caballero has the ability to induce this in his victims, including Doggett.
22	* LineOfSightAlias: Doggett calls himself “Detective Ladatel” based on a phone calling card.
23	* ManlyTears: Doggett when he remembers that his son Luke Doggett was kidnapped and murdered.
24	* NobleDemon: Caballero has some shades of this.
25	* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Kersh as usual. Though a bit less so this time, and more understandably, given the pressure he is under.
26	* ShutupHannibal: Doggett reclaims his memories and shuts down Caballero verbally when he is finally confronted and figured out.
