John corrected the family tree and the correction is better than what I had. Leslie Nielsen's character is plain Frank Drebin; the 2025 film makes Neeson "Jr", which retroactively makes Nielsen the father without ever calling him Sr. So Frank Drebin Sr is now a THIRD Drebin one generation further back — 1958, entirely ours, no canon to violate. Terminology corrected across all three docs. The twist, per John's "maybe he is really a criminal": he is the most prolific criminal in the city's history, he is also a decorated homicide detective, and he has never once lied about any of it. Not corruption — corruption requires noticing. He is a Drebin: totally literal, totally sincere. He robs the payroll, then investigates it diligently and files an immaculate report stating what he did, because the form asks what happened and he answers the form. Nobody has ever caught him because nobody reads the reports. Best clearance rate in the division. The mechanic: the score is the cover-up. Played completely straight, no jokes in the system text — every scoring action is correct procedure that destroys the evidence against him. Lifting a latent removes it from the metal. Section 9 requires the spoiled card be incinerated, witnessed. The typed report supersedes the rookie's notes and the Captain signs it unread. You reach 100/100 in room three; the final room is worth nothing, because you have already been paid in full for the cover-up. He is also the Gremlin — the chickens on the Captain's desk come from the coop he built in 1951, and in seven years nobody has said the word out loud, so it has never occurred to him that anybody wondered.
