The Law Agency thinks non-lethal is weird?
- Seriously, they're a law agency. Serve and protect! They can mock Walter as a geek, but they can't mock the effectiveness of his gadgets in neutralization.
- Presumably, it's because they're explicitly non-lethal.
Why Didn't Lance Just Cooperate?
- Why does Lance choose to run and try to prove his innocence instead of working with Internal Affairs? They have a single piece of evidence against him. Surely, they could run his jet's flight logs against the M9's attack in Tokyo to confirm he was never there? The Iwate Prefecture, where the opening took place, is quite a bit away from Tokyo, so if he flew directly back to D.C., he probably didn't stop and kill people. Plus, if "Lance Sterling" shows up at the North Sea Facility shortly after the real Lance arrives back at base in Washington, D.C., then surely, his story of someone pretending to be him could be true? It probably would have only taken a few hours for the situation to resolve itself.
- It's because Lance is impulsive and prefers to handle things himself. He didn't cooperate because that's not really how he did things back then. At the beginning of the movie during the initial mission, Lance disobeyed orders and broke in to recover the weaponized drone despite being told to wait for backup. So he wasn't going to sit and wait for Internal Affairs to figure out he wasn't the culprit.
