She only gave it to you because she doesn't see you as competition.
You're a police officer and a grown up. Why are you trying to impress her? Maybe try a different approach?
He doesn't want to, but if there is one more cryptozoological run-around, he must force the investigation back on track. This better be it...
There's a slightly weary, condescending note in her voice. She doesn't trust your professionalism following your rather tasteless come-ons.
A compliment from Lieutenant Kitsuragi! Not bad.
I thought we had an agreement, she thinks. This was not supposed to happen.
He couldn't take it like you. It irks him -- then he gets over it.
Even now, Kim is a paragon of professionalism: he's trying to make a clean cut of telling her she was betrayed.
So she says she didn't do it -- and she doesn't trust you. Is it you specifically or the Citizens Militia that she distrusts?
She's refusing to adopt the demeanour of a cornered animal. A leader with no one to lead -- she still wants to retain some control of the situation.
He is restraining himself from using a parental tone with you right now.
The lieutenant's voice betrays a slight disappointment, which he glosses over by reasserting control.
Staff issues, always tough on the leadership. You smell traces of betrayal.

She's proud of her organizational abilities even now -- and trying to raise that pride as a bulwark against the desperation.
This is it... you're finally getting to speak with those who hold real power.
