"Not those kinda questions," Russell says, although she's sort of already answered what he wants to know anyway. She's from somewhere called Haven, which means she's not from Darrow and it's no wonder the other cops in the station are pretending to think she's crazy. They probably understand better than they're letting on, but he knows that the people from Darrow have a tendency to ignore the idea that anyone else in this city has come from elsewhere, and calling her crazy is the easiest way they know to deal with the things they'd rather ignore.
"I can't call Haven PD for you," he tells her. "I can't call anywhere outside of Darrow, which is the city where you've found yourself now." He's had to explain this place more than once, but he's never had to explain it to someone who is inside a cell, someone who's been arrested. He's trying to think of a way he can get her out of the cell, some kind of explanation the rest of the department will accept. "One thing you gotta do for me, though, you gotta stop talkin' about bein' from somewhere else, okay? Just until I figure out a way to get you outta here."
But he still has no idea how he's going to manage that.
"I know this seems... real fucked up, but what happened to you has happened to a lot of us," he says. "But not everyone."
