Jimmy was a little surprised. He initially thought Winston had some important leads to share, but it turned out they wanted to destroy their headquarters.
Jimmy blinked, stunned for a moment before speaking: "What do you mean?"
Winston: "Perkins went too far, so to avoid getting implicated, someone decided to eliminate them."
Jimmy: "No, if we eliminate them directly, what will we do? Several departments are conducting a joint investigation. If they find out the target was destroyed in advance, even more people will be implicated."
Winston: "We'll make sure it's clean."
Jimmy: "No, it has nothing to do with how cleanly you handle it. Winston, maybe you're used to eliminating threats this way, but that's not how a Federation department operates.
When an official terrorist attack investigation is launched, there must be a conclusion; it can't be stopped just because the leads run dry.
