What's really going on
The chapter sets two kinds of competence side by side. On one side are the men running the conspiracy, calmly planning to frame Joe for the senator's murder. On the other is a teenage girl who does what the professionals failed to anticipate: she follows the trail they left and finds her father. Joe's instinct is to protect her by sending her away, but she will not go, and the film treats her stubbornness as inherited: "My dad's a detective. What can I say?" The jokes about how dangerous following the bodyguards might be are the film's way of acknowledging that the danger is real. Darian is brave, and she is also a child, and the story never lets one erase the other.

このシーンについての質問
Why does the senator want Joe blamed?
Joe is inconvenient to the men behind the murder. Framing him for the killing removes him and gives the conspiracy a suspect at the same time.
How does Darian find Joe?
She hitches a ride and traces him using the trail he left behind. When he asks, she points out that he did not cover his tracks.
Why does Darian bring a gun?
She takes it from her father's closet because she thinks Joe might need it. It shows both her nerve and how badly she wants to be part of what is happening.
Why does Joe let Darian come along?
He tries hard to send her home and cannot make her go. In the end he gives in, and they follow the bodyguards together.
