Cosgrove: And you don't?

Cosgrove: Possible mugging, then?

Price: Eventually came too damn late.
Price: Booker didn't mean to kill anybody. The shot came from them fighting over the gun. Foster didn't even die from the wound.

McCoy: He should have waited for the system to play out.
Price: Why should he believe in a system that failed him at every turn?
