People wearing costumes provided to them by their employer demand that the Metro assassin make confessions by providing them with the evidence they require to build a case against the Metro assassin, because they are lazy, inept, and have misplaced their faith in the costumes they are wearing.
The costumes are not the law. The costumes are not above the law. The Metro assassin has no lawful obligation to do the job of costumed people to shield them from the knowledge of their incompetence.
The Metro assassin remains silent. The Metro assassin does not acknowledge the presence of the costumed. The burden of accusation, and the burden of proof rests solely upon the shoulders of the costumed. The tale we are told is that we must respond when someone wearing a costume asks us a question; the tale we are told is that the costumed person wields the force of law.
Tall tales. Tales told by inept grownups to naive children in an effort to lazily manage a child's behaviour.
When the Metro assassin is silent, the people wearing costumes provided to them by their employers must make a choice. That choice gives the Metro assassin a 1 in 2 chance of being left alone to continue on his way.
