The problem with the dialogue is that with this amount of exposition, you usually expect the script to just explain everything via dialogue.
For instance, the part where Kirei confirms that "the grenade was thrown by someone else", he looks away to ground floor. This is a visual cue that shows that Kirei was trying to confirm if it was possible to have thrown the grenade from below with that kind of trajectory. Judging from the sheer drop below, it would be impossible for a normal human. Yet, this is an ordinary smoke grenade and magi don't involve themselves with contemporary arms as explained in episode 1.
So, from just that grenade he was able to get the information he needed that Maiya didn't say, which is that there is a Magus that acts outside of the boundaries of Magi (which fits Kiritsugu's MO) and that he's involved with this woman, so she will be the key to finding him.
This could've been explained in exposition like in the novels, but for the most part the production team has decided to keep the exposition for when they actually have to explain certain concepts for the setting, and letting visual cues like Kiritsugu coming across the parent and child do the rest.
