Det. Thorn
Something stinks here.
Hatcher
Look. You'll sign this. And I'll bury it.
Det. Thorn
Like hell you will. A member of the board of the Soylent Corporation was torn apart with a meat hook! You can't sweep that carcass under the rug. Who bought you?
Hatcher
You're bought as soon as they pay you a salary.
Det. Thorn
Yeah, well, who is "they?"
Hatcher
High and hot, and they want this case closed permanently, their way, now you sign this!
Det. Thorn
You sign it! If my name closes this case and someone higher and hotter wants to know why, it's my job!
Hatcher
Sign it, I'll cover for you!
Det. Thorn
I won't put my job on the line for you, Hatcher...
Hatcher
But...
Det. Thorn
Not my damn job!!
