At the start of this episode, when John is being tortured by repeatedly listening to "American Pie" he is talking to an British Defense Intelligence agent trapped with him. This guy "Spike" says he'll talk to John once again in 3 minutes after the song replays. Thing is - this song runs 8:33 minutes in length. Many years ago I worked in radio and "American Pie" was notorious for being the "go-to" song selection for all DJ's who needed a bathroom break because of its length.
