Mr. Orange Briefs Holdaway, Explained：made a killing
The undercover cop reports to his handler on how he got in: Joe picked him for the job, and he's already sizing up the crew from the inside. His best lead is small talk — the man called Mr. White turned out to be a Milwaukee Brewers fan, which points to Wisconsin.
あらすじ

What's really going on
The scene doubles as a lesson in how undercover work is actually done: not with heroics but with details. Freddy's report is all small observations — who talked to whom, how easily Joe and Mr. White got along, which team White bet on — and it's those ordinary facts that let Holdaway narrow the search to Wisconsin. The mood also darkens on one name. Freddy says he owes his way in to Long Beach Mike, and Holdaway immediately corrects him: Mike is 'selling out his amigos,' a man to be used, not trusted. That warning is the scene's real point. Freddy is being taught that in this world every relationship is disposable, including, presumably, his own.
Theme
DeceptionFreddy's whole job is a lie: a phony name and a fake friendship, reported calmly to his handler like ordinary office work.
BetrayalHoldaway warns that Long Beach Mike is selling out his friends, teaching Freddy that loyalty is a tool, not a bond.

I'll take care of his fuckin' ass, man, but you get that lowlife scumbag out of mind and you take care of business, you hear me?Holdaway's double order: he'll handle Mike, but Freddy must stop thinking about him and finish the job. 'Take care of business' means do the work at hand.

このシーンについての質問
Who is Freddy reporting to in this scene?
He's reporting to Detective Holdaway, his handler. Freddy is the undercover cop known to the crew as Mr. Orange, and the tape is his debrief on how the job is going.
How does the crew's team get chosen?
Joe Cabot picks the men himself. Freddy says Cabot is planning a job and chose him for the team, and that Nice Guy Eddie set up the first meeting.
What does "made a killing" mean?
It means to earn a large profit very quickly — here, from betting on the Brewers. It has nothing to do with anyone being killed.
Why does the team hint matter to the police?
Because it's a clue to a man's identity. If Mr. White is a Milwaukee Brewers fan, he's likely from Wisconsin, so the police can search Wisconsin mug shots for his face.
What does Holdaway say about Long Beach Mike?
That Mike isn't Freddy's friend: he's a scumbag who is selling out his own people. Holdaway says he'll deal with Mike, but Freddy must put him out of his mind and focus on the job.
