He knows he's been followed because they're trying to lose him.

The caller is going to be in a gray Subaru legacy and it's going to be a gray truck.
01:19

02:05
Just a gray truck is all they gave us.

02:16
Second, if he's on the right side of the road and she was able to get us a plate of William George Victor 7941.
02:31
And Nissan Rogue is what that comes back to, so that's not going to be correct.

940 is a gray truck, correct?
02:43
I have an additional caller telling us that he cut through Coles parking lot, northbound on Broadway now.
02:50
Ninthore, he's northbound on Broadway?
02:52
Well, let's keep telling us that they're telling us northbound on Broadway toward Academy, so that would still be Southbound.

03:41
Ten-four, what's play again?

Plate given was William George Victor, 7-941, but that comes back to the Nissan Rogue, so it should be something close to that.
