Fan Casting Captain Haden in The Safdie Brothers' 48 Hrs.

A Black captain in a predominantly white institution, Haden has survived decades by mastering the machine and sacrificing anyone to protect it. With terrifying calm—the cold institutional brain whose moral authority curdles into cruelty when Cates endangers the department's reputation. His use of a racial slur to discipline a white subordinate is not personal but surgical, the weapon of a man who has learned that power means never flinching first.
