*SINGING PART*
Line 1: We need their best investigator to get to the bottom of this.
Line 2: You are correct. We need to be subtle.

Line 4: Who said anything about prison?
Singing: Record at least 30 seconds of your favorite tune.
THE LIEUTENANT – Justice is his middle name. And first. And last. This guy is one very straight arrow. A seriously straight arrow. Really really straight arrow.

Line 2: All right, all right. Take it easy, Lieutenant.

Line 2: It’s good to see you again, welcome aboard.
Line 3: Who do you think you are?
