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.
