9	----
10	!!Tropes:
11	* AbsurdlyHighStakesGame: Operation Lasso
12	* ActionGirl: Annie and Daisy.
13	* BallisticDiscount: Fugitive Jack Druggan guns down a gang of gun dealers with one of their own automatic rifles after they unwisely attempt to rip him off in "The Comeback Kid".
14	* BelligerentSexualTension: Ben and Annie, emphasis on the belligerent in Annie's case.
15	* BountyHunter: Ben Crowley, Annie's nemesis.
16	* CatchPhrase: Annie's "Let's ride!". A callback to how the Marshals ''used'' [[CoolHorse to get around]].
17	* CorruptCop:
18	** Annie's father might have been one.
19	** Marco's old partner in Narcotics, forcing him to [[ShootTheDog Shoot the Sonofabitch]].
20	* CowboyCop: Annie, in spades. Including charging a [[MoreDakka machine-gun–wielding]] fugitive while he was reloading. Hell, she has a vial in which she keeps the bullets she's been struck with.
21	* DestinationDefenestration:
22	** Threatened to a corrupt assistant U.S. attorney in "Narco, Pt. 1", unless he gives up how he's been reaching Isabella Cordova. Given the rampage she's been on, it's probably ''not'' an EmptyCopThreat in this case.
23	** It turns out he [[spoiler:was forced to make this threat [[IHaveYourWife because they have a hostage]]]].
24	* {{Determinator}}: Annie lets nothing stand in her way.
25	* DisappearedDad: Annie's dad.
26	* EmbarrassingMiddleName: Annie "Nolan" Frost, Daisy "Gladys" Ogbaa.
27	* {{Ephebophile}}:
28	** Jackson Leary.
29	** Daisy's former music teacher.
30	* EyeScream: "Narco, Pt. 1" - When the bad guys come to collect the accountant under the Marshals' protection, the officer sharing the room looks through the peephole to see what's going on, but catches a bullet from the clever villain who expected this.
31	* HandsOnApproach: Played for ''creepy'' in episode 14, where the fugitive, a pedophile CorruptCop, shows a girl how to cut a tomato rose.
32	* KillItWithFire: The way the accountant in "Narco, pt. 1" bites it.
33	* KnightTemplar: Bob [=McGraw=]. Basically acts like a less stable version of ComicBook/JudgeDredd or ComicBook/ThePunisher. Despite this, he makes several mistakes. For instance, reading a plate number without phonetics.
34	* MarketBasedTitle: Officially renamed ''Jerry Bruckheimer's Chase'' in Britain, presumably to avoid confusion with the Creator/{{ITV}} game show ''Series/{{The Chase\|GameShow}}''.
35	* MexicoCalledTheyWantTexasBack: In the episode "Repo", the criminal the heroes are chasing believes that America stole Texas and doesn't believe in the authority of the police, making comments about it to most people he meets.
36	* PsychoLesbian: Karen in "Under the Radar". More a psycho who happens to be lesbian, though.
37	* PublicServiceAnnouncement: As ''Series/WithoutATrace'' did for missing persons, ''Chase'' does for wanted felons.
38	* [[PunchPunchPunchUhOh Pistol-whip, uh-oh]]: After a gargantuan domestic abuser fugitive is struck to no effect, [[OhCrap Oh]], [[GoshDangItToHeck shoot!]] Then played straight. Takes smashing his head through a window to finally stop him.
39	* RapeAsBackstory: Daisy was molested by her music teacher for over six years. [[spoiler:She breaks into his house and kills him in "Roundup".]]
40	* RunForTheBorder
41	* ShoutOut: A stolen police car in episode 14 had the callsign "1-Series/Adam12".
42	* SternChase: This is ''Fugitive: The Series'', but with guilty subjects.
43	* TemptingFate: When taking down Hank Collins for petty larceny, one of the heroes comments, "Hey, it's easy points!" Then the window explodes and he comes out wielding a [[MoreDakka .223 automatic rifle]].
44	--> '''Annie:''' So much for the easy point!
45	* USMarshal
