Fan Casting Ruth the Lab Tech in The Safdie Brothers' 48 Hrs.

A veteran forensic technician who has run ballistics on more bodies than she can count, Ruth is a woman of color who has survived the institution by being twice as competent and three times as composed as anyone else. With poised, unsentimental endurance—the one person in the precinct who has made peace with the horror and chosen to stay, a counterpoint to Haden in the art of institutional survival.
