for chasing bank robbers?
Quiet.
Quiet.
Quiet
Please give your attention to Agent Mullins
Thank you It's tape of this morning's robbery
Watch close
It goes by pretty fast
Four cameras
Four perfect shots
In and out in 35 seconds.
Lieutenant, you have the witnesses'statements.
Miss Williams,
I'm Lieutenant Robbins
This is Agent Mullins with the FBI
We want to ask you a few questions
- Am I under arrest?
- Well, no
Then I ain't answering no questions
who is paying for the damage on my cab
and when do I get it back?
Miss Williams, I'm afraid your vehicle's
physical evidence now
- We have to run ballistics tests...
- Ballistics tests? On what?
We already know
who shot my cab
It was that stupid idiot right there
with that dumb look on his face
That's not fair
Agent Mullins wasn't even on the scene
- I was talkin' about you
- Me?
You shot my back window out
You could've shot me
- You don't talk to me like that
- I'll talk however I want
- Get him out.
- Take his stinkin' ass out of here
- All right, all right I'm sorry
- Are you kidding me?
- I'm sorry
- That is the FBI in there You need to calm down
Somebody better talk to him.
Sorry 'bout that, dude, um, sir
The adrenaline's still pumping
You know what I'm saying?
Had a crazy morning
I'm a little out of line,
and I apologize
Detective Washburn,
you were the first one on the scene, correct?
Yes, I was
I was the first one on the scene
My first instinct is to give you a shot
at leading this investigation
- However, I spoke with your lieutenant
You're off the case
- Permanently
- What?
Nice meeting you
I know
Y... Marta, you can't...
Lieutenant
- You can't...
- Enough
Now, go clock in
You're late for your shift
I already told you everything I know
