Lieutenant Swersky : [to Swersky] I tried to go along to play the game, but I couldn't do it. I couldn't let a guy go away for a murder he didn't do. Cruz let Noble keep the gun he shot the guy with so Yokas was helping me get it back from Noble's apartment. Cruz figured out what we were doing. I got there just after she did and she squared off with Yokas, then Noble comes in... it's a big circle jerk. I see Noble behind Cruz, pull a gun from his jacket pocket, so I shot him once. I think I hit him in the chest.
Lieutenant Swersky : He died a little while ago.

Lieutenant Swersky : You're not going anywhere.
