Chief Ted Carver [to Mac]: Heard about your antics this morning.
By antics, you mean telling the truth?
Look, your own people is one thing. I trust you're not going to be tearing up any directives from above in front of the press.
No, no. They were smart enough not to send me anything on paper this time.
All right, wait, wait, listen. Neither of us is to utter the word sniper, is that clear? That's a direct order from Chief Sinclair to me. Now it is a direct order from me to you. Is that going to be a problem?
They have a right to know.
The public has a right to know what we tell them.
I'm not going to lie for you or anyone else.
Who said anything about lying? Mac, look, I walked the beat just like you did, all right? I know where you're coming from but there is a difference between lying and withholding a truth.
I don't think there is.
