At the US Naval hospital, American flags are shown hanging vertically with the blue field of stars on the upper right-hand side. Flag protocol states the field should always be in the upper left, whether displayed horizontally or vertically. An American military site would know this.

Quotes
Auggie Anderson: Here's what you need to know about assets. They're not trained operatives. They are normal people who we see as targets of opportunity. And they screw up all the time. They're late, they lose stuff, they ask for crazy things...
Annie Walker: But don't we have a responsibility to help her if she's in trouble?
Auggie Anderson: Damn. You played the morality card.
Annie Walker: You know I did. So, help me.

I couldn't enjoy this episode because of its ignorance

This episode was embarrassing to watch.

Firstly - Estonia has no promethium mines.

Secondly - there was no mysterious change after we went to Euro. It's simply another currency.

Thirdly - Estonian language is not even similar to Russian language. The Estonian accent is completely different from the Russian accent. These two languages have no similarities.

Fourthly - Those "Estonian" phrases used during the car chase were just some mumblings. After listening to them at least ten times I found not a single syllable that might have given any idea what she was yelling.

Whenever foreign characters/languages/countries are used in (American) movies I find it typical that not even a single research has been done while writing the script.

At least get the names right and don't use Russian names.
