Dr. Iris Hineman says that sometimes there is a conflict in vision called a "minority report." Anderton kidnaps the precog Agatha from the facility. They arrive at Crow's place. It has photos of Anderton's son, who had died. Anderton believes that Crow killed Anderton's son, but Crow says he was setting it all up. Crow wants Anderton to kill him to benefit his family.
