Cannon goes to the chess club and finds out that the Whitey that Muñoz (Victor Campos) played chess with was a black man. Not five minutes later, Cannon is in Walter Ryan's (Dana Elcar) office, still talking about whether or not the man they're looking for is white, or black, or just wearing hospital whites, as if the scene in the chess club never happened.
The security guard should have plainly seen Whitey jumping up from the gurney, but doesn't react at all to the sudden movement. He then reacts to being hit by the sap before it actually touches him.
