INT. SCHAEFFER'S STUDY – NIGHT<br />

Schaeffer passes Book a drink.<br />

Book is excited, animated... the hunter, after a long chase,<br />

closing on his quarry:<br />

BOOK<br />

It was McElroy, Paul.<br />

Schaeffer gives him a sharp look:<br />

BOOK<br />

Last guys would have figured. But he's<br />

part of it.<br />

SCHAEFFER<br />

I hope you don't have any doubts about<br />

that.<br />

BOOK<br />

If I did, I'd have kept my mouth shut...<br />

(and)<br />

It fits, Paul... Fifty-five gallons of Ptwo-P<br />

confiscated four years ago...<br />

Guesswho was in on the collar? Mac.<br />

(excited, explaining<br />

the thing eagerly)<br />

He salts it away somewhere... he knows the<br />

stuff is potent, but the street chemists<br />

haven't figured out how to process it. But<br />

they do now.<br />

(and)<br />

And now the stuff is worth five-grand a<br />

pint and there are a lot of pints in a<br />

fifty-five gallon drum.<br />

SCHAEFFER<br />

(beat)<br />

Who else knows?<br />

BOOK<br />

Just us.<br />

SCHAEFFER<br />

(shakes his head)<br />

Okay, what are you going to need to clean<br />

it up<br />

BOOK<br />

More people... Gotta pick up where<br />

Zenovich left off. People from outside the<br />

department.<br />

SCHAEFFER<br />

(nods)<br />

Maybe the Bureau. Or those bastards at<br />

Treasury. I'll take care of it.<br />

(then)<br />

I hate this shit, Johnny. You cut their<br />

balls off for me. I'm counting on you.
