01:19
Get one in the shopping center to the north.

02:05
No, just wait until K9 gets close.
02:08
I'm coming from North 40, I don't know, Blake's probably closer, but just wait until K9 gets there, we'll black out, we'll walk in with a dog.
02:17
As long as our suspect hasn't been confronted by the victim.
02:24
Okay, 1928, I'm going to be going 97 here in just a second, and just confirming that this was the complaint's vehicle.
