ABC's Thieves plot hole? (spoiler warning)

spoiler ahead

Ok, I pretty much liked the show… interesting character development, good acting and chemistry, sexy actors, decent writing, exciting action sequences.

But hopefully someone noticed something that got past me. Can someone explain why the thieves didn’t split after they got the tracking devices off???

I think they should have added a scene where Ton Loc finds them again and they ask him how they were located. And Ton Loc says something like: “We knew you’d get the decoy tracker off, so we hid a second lojack on you”

Agreed. They set-up that whole thing with the transmitters and the dogs, and there was never any worthwhile pay-off. Just that joke about them going around the hotel every couple of hours. Ha ha.

I think they were also lacking the scene where the witness kid was murdered. Maybe it was considered too harsh for our currently bruised sensibilities. Without it, couldn’t they just re-tape the testimony?

But the location with the train platforms, now was that nifty, or what?

IANAL, but I think that was the witness’ deposition, not her testimony. Regardless, the point to recovering the tape was that the murderers didn’t know who the girl was, and wanted the tape so they could find out and kill her. IOW, she’s not dead, and the Justice Department wants to keep her that way.

I do agree that the dog collar payoff was lame, though.
