Before I let you pin him, I'll take the rap myself. I'll resign.

Facts, then.

Two cops handled that merchandise.

And I swear by Carl. Wrong. You're neutral.

Because you're handling this case.

There's no evidence against Carl. Not yet. But motive?

The lieutenant is deeply in debt. Nice to know that a cop can afford something

like that on his salary.

Is that supposed to be funny? What about Don?

There wasn't a dishonest bone in his body.

And now you're accusing him. I'm trying to clear him. You're covering up.

Give me the cheat. This is Reese.

Win some, you lose some.

No hard feelings.

There's one consolation.

I've still got the goodies.

Hold on a sec.

Anything else on your mind?

Keep your nose clean, Lieutenant.

Cheat.

That's impossible.

Judge said it was an improper warrant.

I did not have probable cause.

Took you five months to crack this case.

And five minutes to lose it. You still want to go to the game tonight?

Would you rather sit around and cry?

We'll have dinner at Joe's.

Meet me in the garage at 5 .30. 5 .30.

I'd lose the pace for the meal. Sounds more like you.

See you later.

Well, time to go.

Sat on the stakeout for six hours and came up empty.

Had a better day than Reese did.

The Delaney bust went down the drain.

But it was a lock.

Not according to the judge. So Delaney's over the hook. He won the round, not

the fight.

It is after six, Lieutenant.

I'm sorry, Chief, but I got a call from the hospital. Doc wanted to talk to me.

Tina Worth?

No, no, but she'll be there at least another month. I am sorry.

Oh, it's okay. Doc said her leg will be as good as new again.

I've still got to drop the heroin off at the property room. We'll do it on the

way. You know that Delaney had the nerve to come over to me and needle me?

Something clever like you win some, you lose some? Yeah, he'll never know how

close he came to assault and battery.

Hold it a minute, Carl.

I wasn't told when I got it. That's not what concerns me.

Yes, we'll go for heroin.

I certainly go for malt sugar.

The hospital grounds.

That's the only place they could have come from. I was parked near a flower

Well, lucky stuff.

Lucky? Suppose the ants hadn't tipped us off.

Would it have returned the package to the property room?

Nobody would have paid attention to it for months.

Carl, could a twitch have been made in the courtroom?

No way. Borden gave it to me himself and it was never out of my sight.

The property?

Nah, cops are always going in and out. Cops?

That's where our real problem lies, Carl.

It was brought in on the 5th at 7 .05.

Signed in by Sergeant Borden and Lieutenant Reese.

We took it straight up from the lab.

It was picked up at 12 .35 p .m. today by Sergeant Borden. I presume it was

in the vault.

Yes, Inspector.

All right, let's take a look.

Still has to be signed in and out, doesn't it?

S .O .P., sir.

Any chance of a loophole?

With a package that size, for instance.

No, when I'm on duty, there isn't. I came from right here.

No, it did not.

Sir, I gave that package to Sergeant Borden myself.

You gave Sergeant Borden a package, but not this one. Switch couldn't have been

made here.

No.

Only between the time Borden left this office and you arrived at the hospital.

I called a half hour ago. How long does it take to get him down there?

All right.

All right, be sure to tell him... I'll be waiting in Commissioner Randall's

office.

Thanks.

You're at the start of his vacation today.

Here, calm down.

Oh, good evening, Gannett.

Sorry to interrupt your dinner.

Your call killed my appetite.

Hello, Carl. Commissioner.

I hope you don't mind us making ourselves at home.

Not for me, one.

Is Sergeant Borden meeting us here?

We haven't been able to reach him yet.

He's at his cabin in Tahoe, no phone.

I had somebody at the general store go after him. He'll call us back.

Five pounds of pure heroin safe in the hands of the police department.

You know what's going to happen when the papers get a hold of this?

Well, keep a lid on it. I can't keep it on too long.

Who knows about it so far?

Us and Smith, the duty officer at the property room. Oh, yeah, old line man.

He'll obey orders.

And Borden, we've got to tell him.

How well do you know him? Goes back over 15 years.

He wouldn't fix a parking ticket for the mayor. We're not talking about parking

tickets now.

No, we're talking about a dedicated officer, a man with a record anybody

be proud of. Losing our tempers won't get us anyplace.

I was stating facts, sir. All right, facts then.

Two cops handled that merchandise, and you're swearing by Borden. And I swear

Carl. Wrong. You're neutral.

Because you're handling this case.

That may be Borden.

Yes, sir.

Hold up.

The Delaney case is blown up and the heroin is... Oh, I can hardly hear a

you're saying.

We've got a storm up here.

Don, the heroin.

When you took it from the property room, what did you do with it? That's where I

got it.

We put it in the trunk of the car.

What? In the trunk of the car.

Don, get back to town.

Okay, but it'll take me a couple of hours.

Police. Call Chief Ironside as soon as you get in.

What? I inside.

Call him.

Yeah.

Right. See you later.

It'll take him a couple of hours.

What did he say about the heroin?

Put it in the trunk of his car.

I couldn't hear him half the time. There was a storm up there. It was a lousy

connection. Well, call me at home.

It could be pretty late, Dennis.

Who can go to sleep now?

Good night, Lieutenant.

Call me Carl when he came in.

Gin off.

Are you miserable? You won't lane for me. With great anticipation.

That's three dollars you owe me.

I can't play anymore. I can't keep my mind on it. It's been over two hours.

Still three dollars.

All right, Todd.

Yes, he's right here. It's your wife.

Hi, hon.

Now it'll be another hour at least.

I'm sorry.

Something came up.

Did you see Tina?

Yeah, I talked to the doctor.

Don't worry about it. We'll make out.

I'll wake you up when I get home tonight.

Good night.

Great chick.

Hello. Evening.

I thought you two were going to the game tonight.

Oh, something came up. Coffee still, huh?

No, thank you.

Headed for the sack.

Uh, Carl.

Sorry about your buddy.

What do you mean? Well, didn't you hear?

I picked it up on the late news on the car radio. What are you talking about?

Don Borden.

Cracked up the side of Walnut Creek. Killed instantly.

We're trying to keep the lid on this case so we can't ask for departmental

We'll have to do the job ourselves.

Carl Reese? I won't buy that in a million years. What about Sergeant

Yeah, well, same thing.

Fact remains, the heroin disappeared when it was in their possession.

Well, then, we'll simply have to clear them.

Now, Mark's on his way up to Tahoe. He's going to check out Borden's cabin.

I've ordered Borden's car brought down here. We'll go over it ourselves.

Meanwhile, you traced his movements yesterday, Fran.

We have anything at all? They took the heroin out of property at 1235, handed

to Reese at 115.

Well, that adds up. Figuring traffic, parking, getting up to the courtroom.

He was in Tahoe at 6 .30, so he couldn't have left the city any later than 4

.30. Fill in the gap.

Yes, every minute, everyone he talked to.

Check with you later.

Ed, there's another angle I want to follow up, the heroin.

Whether they're going to sit on it or cut it right away.

Five pounds is more than enough to feed every junkie in the city. Twice over.

See if the word is out, if they're waiting to be fed.

And when? Especially when.

See you. I'm tired.

Of course I will, Bessie. Put him on.

Hiya, Carl.

Hey, tough.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

Morning, Janet.

Hope you slept well.

Well, frankly, neither did I.

No, I haven't had a chance.

Carl, the paper, it's on top of the fridge. Steve Green's column.

All right, all right, Dennis. Watch your blood pressure.

Let me read it, and if I have any brilliant ideas, you'll be the first to

Right.

Right.

What's he say?

The usual.

Who's making out with who? What?

Wait a minute.

A big pack of Christmas candy was lost by the police. Who's got it? Who let it

get away?

Mind company, Cindy?

Do I get a choice?

Why are you coming on so hard?

These are hard days.

Down that dry?

When you hit Delaney, you squeezed us good.

Could be a favor.

A couple more like it, I'll be jumping off the bridge.

You know, you can clean up. There are places.

I've tried. You know that. No law says you only get one chance.

I don't feel very good.

You can get clean.

I'll put in a word for you. Honest, I don't feel good.

Aren't you going to look through it? I'm not here to bust you.

That's a switch.

Is it okay if I go? Cindy, let me give you an address.

Just give me a fix.

What's up here?

There she is, the little sailboat on the right.

She made a sweet little buy, I can tell you that.

How much did he pay for it?

I don't think I can tell you that.

It's an official question, Mr. Farrow.

$2 ,500.

Cash on the line. Cash?

That's the way I like it.

I've had to don more customers lately.

Checks bouncing. Just one more question.

What time was Sergeant Borden here?

Oh, 3 o 'clock, I guess.

He was here for about 20 minutes. Only 20 minutes to buy a boat? He knew which

one he wanted. He was here before. It's just that he didn't know if he could

come up with the money.

I see.

Well, thank you very much. Sure.

Nice to know that a cop can afford something like that on his salary.

Is that supposed to be funny? No.

I mean...

Where's the chief?

Had to go down to see the commissioner. Left me here to hold down the fort.

Oh. Well, not exactly. He wants me out of sight. The way Randall feels, I'm

a red flag.

Tell him you called him a bull.

Yeah, you do that.

Oh, chief left you a message.

Borden's car is expected at the impound at 7 o 'clock. He wants you to go over

it. Message received loud and clear.

He's not serious about Borden, is he? Well, he didn't send me to Tahoe for

Tahoe? What for?

To check over Borden's cabin. What else?

For what?

The heroin?

No way.

That's the way it was.

Hey, the place was clean.

Mark, the chief's wrong, I swear to you. Borden never switched the package.

Okay, but if he didn't, we only have one other fish in this pond.

You're not exactly good for business. Yours or mine?

Mostly I was thinking about mine. Delaney around?

Haven't seen him.

He'll do.

If your hands had been that clean when you were writing, you'd still be in

silks. One lousy rap and I'm barred for life. Jimmy, you carried so many

batteries, I'm surprised you didn't light up.

Are we just cutting up all time? That's correct.

I need a lawyer. No bust.

Oh, well, I got a big weekend planned. I sure don't want to spend it downtown.

You still dealing? Oh, yeah, sure.

Name your game. Draw, lowball.

Ah, comic now.

Well, I got to find another way to make the print.

Delivery boys should pay well.

Five big ones for a couple hours running around.

Pays better than eight rapists out of the money.

Besides, you don't have to worry about falling off a horse. Now who's the

How soon you figure to make a delivery?

Hey, come on. Jimmy, you want to forget about that big weekend?

All I know is I was told to stay in town. Told why?

I never ask questions.

Five pounds of pure age is being cut.

What do you know? That's what I know.

It doesn't take very long to cut five pounds into dollar bags.

What about it?

I'm going to do you a favor.

Oh?

So far the word will get out that I shook you down in a bar, if you're

Your friends will think the same thing.

How do I get that lucky? You stick around.

And cooperate.

Word's around, all right.

Everybody knows the junk's on the market.

Cindy was all ready and waiting this morning. She wouldn't have been carrying

that kind of roll if she weren't expecting to make a buy.

Yeah, but when?

She didn't know. Nobody else did either.

Jimmy Schlick's just on standby to deliver.

Are they gonna cut it or sit on it?

Looks like it depends on what they think we know. What's the chief going that

route for? We've got to find out how the junk was switched.

Well, I backtracked on Sergeant Borden as far as I could.

He left for Tahoe around 4 .30, was home changing his clothes before that, and

was at the boatyard from 3 to 3 .30.

$2 ,500 boat. Not bad. Knock it off, Mark. And before that, he was at the

around 2 .30.

Cast a check for $3 ,000.

Whose check?

Cashier's. Payable on demand.

It was already sent through central clearing.

So we'll have to wait till tomorrow to get a look at it. Okay, we're at 2 .30.

He left Carl in the courtroom at 1 .15.

That's a blank.

Blank? An hour and 15 minutes.

And you know, the courthouse garage has no record of his arrival or departure.

No, no, no.

You're all out in left field. He didn't do it.

Carl. He's dead. He's got no chance to defend himself. Carl, we're just trying

to add up what we've got.

What you've got is a guy squaring away, getting ready to retire.

He told me about the boat. He told me about the money.

Listen to me, Ollie. Before I let you pin him, I'll take the rock myself. I'll

resign. You may have to, Carl.

The commissioner has suspended you.

to keep you waiting.

I came at a bad time. I didn't mean to take you away from your friends.

They have been all very kind and helpful, but after they said how sorry

are... That's all I can say, Helen.

I understand.

The funeral's the day after tomorrow, did you know?

I heard.

It's, uh... It's going to be a very simple service.

And, uh...

I'd like you to say a few words about it.

Me? We're as close as friends.

Please, Carl.

He'd want it.

Okay. I'll do my best.

Thank you.

Look, what are we standing here for? You sit down. Let me get you a cup of

coffee. No, thanks. Would you prefer a drink? I'm on the run.

Is something wrong, Carl?

This isn't just a courtesy call, is it?

Helen, did he talk about his cases with you?

Sometimes.

The Delaney case?

He was very proud of that one.

The heroin's disappeared.

Disappeared?

You mean you lost it?

Stolen.

Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry, you worked so hard on that.

Helen.

Now, I want you to listen because I've got to ask you these questions, try and

understand.

Carl, is something wrong?

Did Don ever talk to you of money?

Money? How well fixed you were, how much cash you had in the bank, things like

that.

No, he always took care of that himself.

You don't know anything?

No.

Carl, why are you... Yesterday afternoon, he bought a boat.

A boat?

He didn't know.

He paid $2 ,500 for it. All cash.

He always wanted a boat.

He always talked about how after he retired, he'd spend the rest of his life

sailing.

Carl, what are you getting at?

The heroin disappeared between the time Don picked it up in the property room

and gave it to me in the courtroom.

Carl! It's all we've got to go on. What do you mean, that's all?

What about Don?

His whole life, a cop, a good cop.

Helen. There wasn't a dishonest bone in his body.

And now you're accusing him. I'm trying to clear him. You're covering up. That's

what you're doing.

Don's dead, and he can't defend himself.

And you want to put the blame on him for your stupid mistake? No, believe me.

Oh, just get out.

Get out!

Helen, listen to me, please. Get out of here!

You're wrong.

And I still like this. Say those few words, if you'll let me.

Well, working overtime?

Still trying to fill in that missing hour.

I thought I'd find something marvelous here.

Well, I've come up with a pine needles fan and just plain dirt.

What a mess.

Well, he spun out.

Hit a telephone pole.

Three feet. Just three feet out of the way and he'd have walked out of it.

Look. He was stuck between the fender and the hood.

Yeah.

Look at the time and date.

1 -55 -16.

Yesterday.

Yeah.

How long have you been out?

You checked the book.

I did.

I knew where to find you.

I wasn't exactly hiding. Were you waiting for somebody?

I'm waiting for my friend. I'm just waiting for my friend.

It's the second day. Same time.

Is it the same friend?

Get off my back.

You haven't got me on your back, Tommy.

Stop pushing me, cop.

I mean it.

Thank you.

That's all I wanted to know.

What? I didn't tell you nothing. You told me exactly how long you've been

waiting for a fix.

Pardon me. When did they tell you this stuff would be ready?

Nobody told me nothing. Well, the word got around, didn't it?

It's junk's back on the market.

Now everybody's all lined up waiting for the candy man.

Can you keep... Why don't you just lay off me?

I'm gonna give you a break.

You clean up.

There are a lot of places you can get help, and this isn't one of them.

That sounds great. It's a big one.

I'll tell you why.

This is joint -center surveillance.

Hello? Hello, I'm Officer Velding. I spoke to her earlier this morning about

yesterday's parking stuff.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Just finished getting them together.

Well, I'd like to see the one that matches this.

Yeah, sure.

Yeah, here it is.

Is it validated?

Uh, J. Hamilton Company. Do you know where that's located?

Investment Company, the building to your right. I see. Well, thank you.

Thank you very much.

All right, lady.

Thank you.

It all checks out, Chief.

Sergeant Warden put 10 % of his salary into blue -chip stocks ever since the

he was married.

That's a tab run on his holdings to date.

And that cash, $3 ,000.

Well, according to Mr. Hamilton, the sergeant wanted to liquidate, pay off

mortgage, buy the cabin he was running in Tahoe, just clear the decks for his

retirement.

The $3 ,000 was in advance.

He wanted to buy something right away.

The boat. Still left $500.

They might have wanted to buy his wife a present.

Well, for a man who started out as a beat cop, he certainly knew how to make

money grow.

You have the same start.

Go thou and do likewise.

Good morning, Ed. Morning, yes. Good, no.

The promising beginning?

No action anywhere.

Buyers all over town, not a seller in sight.

No talk about when?

Not a whisper.

Delaney's sitting out until he's sure.

Sure of what?

Whether we know the heroine is missing.

Newspapers take care of that.

Delaney's a careful man.

He won't move on a blind item in a gossip column. It's time we pushed him.

Ed, do you happen to know a large pair of ears and a big mouth?

Jimmy's slick. Pump it all to him. We know when we're closing in.

We'll have the case wrapped up by the end of the week.

I'll back it up with an official statement to the press and radio.

That should make Delaney move? Yes.

Should make Delaney move.

Oh, well.

I didn't want that anyway.

You're not going to make a habit out of this, are you? I'm fighting it.

I'm looking for Jimmy Cliff.

What do you want to lean on him for? Tony, I just asked you a question.

No, not so far today.

But there's another old buddy of yours back there. Why don't you try leaning on

him?

I'll have to wait his turn. Let's have a beer. You gonna stay?

You see, that's what I like about you. You're such a gracious host.

Hi, Ed. What are you doing here? Good question.

What's your answer?

I couldn't just sit around. I had to do something.

Helen tore me up.

What does she have to do with this?

I went to see her.

Find out about the $2 ,500 Don paid for the boat. I thought maybe she could

explain the money.

She took it the wrong way. For your information, the money's been accounted

Sergeant Borden is clean.

What have I been telling you? Everything except why you met Delaney. I wanted to

crowd him. He's got the junk. We both know it. I thought I could trip him up

somehow, get a lead.

Listen, Chief, if I switched to heroin, would I be so stupid as to go near

Delaney now? You were stupid enough to make it look like you were involved.

Yes.

Commissioner Randall's here to see you.

Well, he's rarely the bearer of good tidings.

Let's not keep him waiting.

Commissioner?

Sorry to bother you, Bob, but I... Hello, Lieutenant.

Commissioner. You want to talk to me privately, Dennis?

No, this involves Lieutenant Reese.

That's what I thought. Your press release, I allowed it to go through.

Thank you. I don't know what you're trying to do, but you must have been

expecting an official reaction. Official reaction to anything is usually pretty

slow. Not this time. The D .A. is on it. Already?

Yes. The reputation of the department is at stake, and he's pushing for an

immediate indictment.

Against who?

There were only two officers involved.

Sergeant Borden is dead.

There's no evidence against Carl. Not yet.

But motive?

The lieutenant is deeply in debt.

Opportunity? He handled the package.

Well, that evidence.

The DA seems to feel that's enough for a start.

Bob, don't make me the heavy. Oh, you're just doing your job.

Yes.

How long are you going to give me to do mine?

I'm meeting the DA tomorrow at noon.

We're issuing a joint statement.

Noon tomorrow.

And Police Commissioner Randall and Deputy District Attorney Morgan have

announced that they will make a further statement tomorrow afternoon.

And now for the latest weather report.

It'll be cloudy over the Bay Area tonight with a 30 % chance of rain.

Gradual clearing in the morning. And the temperature should reach...

They got me nailed, Chief.

I can see the holes.

Mm -hmm.

You had to turn them loose.

You must have known the department couldn't stand this kind of heat.

It had to have a fall guy, and you gave them me. Thank goodness for Fran's

efficiency. What's Fran got to do with it? She always writes up a full,

report.

Okay, so give her an A.

This is about Borden, all his movements, the boatyard, parking lot, investment

company. We know all about that.

No, this remark escaped me.

No record of Sergeant Borden's arrival or departure from Courthouse Garage.

He could have parked on the street.

Could have done just about anything, Carl, up to now. And up to now, we've

concentrated on Borden's activities after he handed you the package.

What about before?

You were on duty day before yesterday, the 16th?

Yes, sir. Same shift, 12 to 8. What time did Sergeant Borden check out? Borden?

140, sir. 140.

Yes, sir, and you never saw a happier cop three weeks vacation ahead of him.

Mannings, the sergeant also left earlier. He was in the property room at

so figure a couple of minutes before that.

No, sir.

What do you mean, no? I don't have him logged. Listen, he was in that property

room at 1235. He was going to bring me a package.

Oh, wait a minute. I'm sorry, sir. I do remember.

He did leave around that time, yeah. I saw him. He was picked up by that black

and white.

The same one that brought him back. Brought him back?

What black and white?

From the 6th, Officer J.

Regan, Regan, vehicle ID 1754.

Why would Borden need anybody to pick him up?

Did you see this officer meet Sergeant Borden? Uh -huh, by the elevator.

Was Borden carrying a package?

Uh, yeah.

What happened then?

They dumped the package into the trunk of the car and they drove out.

All right, now slowly, Mannings, every detail you can remember.

Where was the car parked?

Over there, a second from the end, sir.

Head in or out?

Out. Who put the package in the trunk?

The officer.

Where was Borden standing, next to him?

By the side more, next to the rear fender.

Then what? Then he got in the car and he drove out.

All right. Call the watch commander at the 6th for me. Verify the name of that

officer and the vehicle ID.

And may I have the keys to that car, please?

Yes, sir.

All right, Carl, let's go.

No wonder there was no record of Borden's arrival at the courthouse

The usual gear. All right, grab a box of flares.

Now, that's the heroin.

Mark it.

All right, now, move back.

Right where Borden stood.

That's far enough.

All right, now, you're Borden.

Hand me the package and get into the car.

the driver get out and move to the trunk.

Driver opens it.

Now, pick up the package.

Same one, Carl?

No.

Just a half a second and a flip of the wrist.

Put this box in, took this one out.

Chief, I say, I just spoke to the watch commander at the 6th. I know, Officer

Reagan, and no black and white with that ID.

No, sir. Thank you, Manning.

Well, Carl, you are off the hook.

Now let's sink it into Delaney.

No activity yet, Chief.

But the way I hear it, big shots don't get up before noon.

When Delaney reads the morning papers, he'll either get active in a hurry or

we'll have egg on our faces.

Keep me posted.

Nothing yet. I got the idea.

That officer Manning is a very intelligent, observant, and perceptive

Is that a personal opinion or professional?

My personal opinion is personal.

Professionally, we went through the mug files together.

He picked out your officer Regan just like that.

Warren Brock.

Assault. Six months. Possession.

Suspended.

Armed robbery. Good side, man.

Case dismissed.

Last fall, Denver.

Good man for Delaney.

Now, how do we tie him together? Right now, I want to tie that phony police car

to Delaney.

He's not stupid enough to try to junk it.

Oh, he'll try to lose it.

One of his so -called legitimate business interests is a used car lot.

Don't have any forged appointments, but I can make you a nice little buy on it.

Shut up.

Blue one looks like what I want. I don't know. That one just came in. I can't

guarantee anything.

Don't worry about it.

I'll just take a look at it, okay?

All right, Ed.

That's one more nail in his packing box.

Ed found the phony prowl car repainted on Delaney's lawn.

Yes, Ed.

Chief Irontide's office.

Hold on. It's Mark.

Stand by, Ed.

Yes, Mark.

Action, Chief. Delaney's taking off.

He's in a hurry. Tail him and keep us posted.

We'll be rolling.

Delaney's moving.

The heroine?

A million to five. He's going to trust anyone else.

Ed. Right here.

Pieces are falling into place. Delaney's moving and Mark's on him. Now head

north and stand by.

Rolling.

We may be ready to pin Delaney. You want in? Try to keep me out.

Just crossing Temple.

Delaney's heading east on cart.

Heading north on 7th Street. I can pick you up in about four minutes.

I want two cars from the 10th.

Radio's open.

Direct orders from me.

He's still east.

My money is on the Embarcadero District.

Embarcadero. Gotcha.

Head north.

Converge on Walton and Fisher and wait for orders.

Okay. He's home too. A warehouse on Vantage, 1 ,100 block east of Raina.

Vantage, 1 ,100 block. Be there in two minutes.

East of Raina. Move in. Got it. Right.

Stay out of sight around the corner of Vantage. I'll meet you there.

They're still inside.

Place looks deserted.

Chief, if we want to move in, we'll need more men. No, I didn't do anything.

He wants to move the hero into a safer place.

He'll do it himself. He won't trust anybody with that kind of load.

Station one of them at the entrance, Carl.

Ready to block it off. Right.

We'll follow you in.

All right, you fellas follow us, okay?

How long do we wait?

Till the proverbial fraud.

Okay. Out.

Out easy.

Hands on the car.

Turn around and vote.

Let's go.

Well, Mr. Delaney, this time I think we can make the case.

Okay. Like low chief.

Ed, give me the flesh.

That's the way it goes, Delaney.

With some, and you lose some.

Carl took me as away with words.
