I believe.
Oh, please.
The aliens did this to me. The aliens did that to me. If you tell the same
stupid story year after year, when the hell are you going to get over it?
Probably around the same time you stop dressing up like one of the Jolly Queen
giant pet toys.
Hell, at least I had a close encounter. I'm starting to think you liked having
that probe. I told you. They didn't probe me.
I stopped them.
Well, that's what you'd like us to believe.
No, no, no.
The Makonians were very clear on that point. Did you not read my last book?
No, did you read mine? I would have if I could have found it.
Sagan was a Makonian.
Sagan was a pod person.
I've got the evidence right here.
The only thing that you've got in there is your lunch.
Of course it's not the alien finger.
I'm not exactly going to carry it around with me.
But you promised me, Gunther, when we, you know, that I was going to experience
the finger. You will, you will.
Now, I want the finger. I don't want a rotten carrot. It's not a carrot.
Let me tell you. You're lying. You're lying. You're lying.
You're lying. You're lying.
You're lying.
You're lying.
You're lying.
I know.
Everybody, can I have your attention, please?
Everybody,
listen up.
Damn it, I said listen!
Well, I hope everyone enjoyed their fondue.
Like I always say, it's food you can trust.
Well, before we get on with tonight's business, I have a personal statement
like to make.
I couldn't help noticing that certain of you...
I've chosen to disregard my request that tonight's planning committee soiree
remain apolitical.
I know I must sound like a broken record, but really, this constant
it's insufferable.
There is no way the rest of the world will ever take us seriously and respect
if we do not respect ourselves.
Now, when the convention starts tomorrow and the press arrives, I want us to be
civil to each other.
The moment one of us breaks rank and starts bashing the others, the press
jump right in and they'll make us all look like a bunch of silly, disorganized
lunatics. Which is why Ike asked me, uh, hi everybody, to come up with a theme
that sort of captures the zeitgeist of our message.
Don't you roll your eyes at me, Gunther Van Owen, you're one of the first people
the TV crews will head for.
Damn right.
Me and the rest of the fifth column?
Bunch of thugs!
We got something to show.
Something big.
Oh, you mean that piece of rotten carrot you've been carrying around? It is not
a carrot.
Whatever it is, it's disgusting. And it has nothing to do with reality.
Our extraterrestrial friends are beautiful, diaphanous creatures.
Not toads like you.
Diaphanous? The creature that impregnated me was definitely reptilian.
that about all the creatures that impregnate you.
Yeah? Would you come over here and say that? Come on. Come on.
Stop!
Back off, everybody.
You people are incorrigible.
One of the reasons I joined this group in the first place was because of the
fellowship it provided.
We know that we are not alone here on Starship Earth.
And whether you look at aliens as a malignant fungus or E .T. in a tutu, We
to stand together and say, in one united voice, two very simple words.
I believe.
We hunger for a sign that our faith is the right faith.
And for me, these two words are a statement that we have seen things and
the truth has been revealed to us. I believe.
I believe that slogan sucks. That's what I believe. Yeah, me too.
It would have been way better in silver.
What is wrong with all of you?
Don't you want to be taken seriously for once in your lives?
If you want to be taken seriously, you're going to need more than a t
You're going to need what I had in this box.
I'm sorry, sir, but this is a convention planning.
Committee meeting. If you have something to sell, there'll be a consignment
table set up on Sunday. Do I look like I'm selling something?
I've been driving in circles in the damn desert for three days trying to figure
out what to do with this.
What is it?
The stuff your dreams are made of.
There is nothing wrong with your television. Do not attempt to adjust the
picture. We are now controlling the transmission.
We control the horizontal and the vertical. We can deluge you with a
channels or expand one single image to crystal clarity and beyond.
We can shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive.
For the next hour, we will control all that you see and hear.
You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the
deepest inner mind to the outer limit.
In an age of doubt, There is nothing more powerful than the need to seek
answers.
But what happens when the cloak is lifted and those answers suddenly
revealed? I hope I haven't just made a mistake showing this to you. Is it real?
Exactly what kind of star cruiser did it come from? Show it to us again.
As head of convention security, I think we 86 this guy right now. Dale, please.
We're not going to 86 anyone. Look, we don't know anything about this guy or
that, that, that, that thing.
They could both be radioactive.
For all we know, that thing could make us glow like Bonserian softworms.
I assure you, the fragment is harmless.
Ah, tell that to the cancerous lump growing on my spine, Rummy.
I'm going to ask you in the box to leave nicely.
I ask again, we're going to tussle. Please, just listen to me.
For 22 years, I was a civilian accountant at Nellis Air Force Base.
That's Area 51.
Duh.
Check the non -com work records if you don't believe me. You'll find my name
there.
Max Buford?
Buford.
Two weeks ago, I was assigned to audit the construction of an underground
storage facility.
I found a discrepancy. When I went to inquire about it, I thought it...
Strange craft being disassembled by military personnel.
Pieces of the ship were being placed in the boxes in preparation for being
hauled away on trains.
I was told to forget everything I'd seen.
And although I tried to ignore it and simply do my job, I found I could not.
Betraying the trust that was placed in me, I stole one of the smaller boxes,
it in the trunk of my car, and drove away.
That box is before you now.
That is an amazing story, Mr. Buford. It's the truth.
Our government is conspiring with the creatures that built the craft that this
came from.
But the world needs to know.
Does the government know this thing is missing?
Probably. In which case... They'll kill you.
Dead. Hell, I knew a guy who knew a guy.
That guy crossed the fence just like you did.
Ten years later, he's eaten at the Jolly Troll smorgasbord.
In Billings? That's the one.
Bang. goes face down into his tater totter. Turns out a mother -humping
attack just rocked his world.
Coincidence?
I think not.
Dale, why would you tell a story like that?
Mr. Buford, I think it's truly courageous of you to come here. And I
speak for all of us when I say thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Well, I ain't thanking him. His story's a load of crap.
That fragment didn't come from Area 51. There are no train tracks going into
that base. Apparently the hair goo has infected your brain. He's referring to
the cold fusion underground rail system they got. Shut up. There is no
underground rail system. You shut up. The damn photos are on the internet.
all seen them. What if aliens sent them?
The Makonia have always been willing to share their technology with us. The
Makonia got nothing to do with this. This kind of technology, it's...
Sportage.
All the way. What if the fragment isn't still?
What if the government sent him here as part of some disinformation campaign?
Anyone think of that?
Well, if the fragment is real, where's the disinformation?
Maybe they just want us to think it's real.
Or the aliens wanted us to see the fragment because they need to tell us
something. Yeah!
Like maybe it's a distress signal from deep within their base station on the
ocean floor. You're all missing the point.
Think of all the grainy photographs and half -baked stories we've hitched our
wagons to over the years trying to grab onto something that proved that our
belief in aliens was justified.
We have it now.
This fragment, it's our holy grail. Is that what you believe?
You with your hoity -toity college education?
It's what I believe, too.
ike pilchard transit system coordinator and me tyler buttram my advanced degrees
in portuguese literature animal husbandry ditto except for the degrees
although i am certified to work as an x -ray tech mr buford we've already set up
a press conference for tomorrow and with your permission i'd like to reveal the
fragment to the world are you high on the crack the feds will be on him like
maggots on roadkill look You're a relative newcomer to these conventions,
Trust me, there's a lot of things that you just don't know about.
Well, there's one thing that I do know. With Mr. Buford and the fragment out in
the open, the government would be stupid to do anything.
Even you can see that, Dale.
Boo is absolutely right, Mr.
Buford, really. It's the only way to save yourself.
I just want you to know I appreciate what you're doing. Well, Mr. Buford, I
assure you the feeling is mutual.
I know that some of us may seem a little, um, extreme, but for the most
we're good people.
Can I tell you something?
Tonight, you have renewed my faith that aliens exist here on Earth, and for
that, I'm really grateful.
This is your room.
Now, if there's anything you need, just page me and I'll be here in a flash.
Okay. Rest assured you're safe with us.
I got one man eyeballing your car from the roof.
Another one will be outside this door all night. Really?
You think that's necessary?
A little information can get a guy killed.
Enough said.
I like to think that a little information can be uplifting.
Now, remember what I said. If you need anything... Here.
Are you trying to be ignorant when you say things like that?
Why? What did I say? Well, you said that there'd be a guy up on the roof and
someone outside his door.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're the only security we have, right? Well, he
doesn't have to know that.
Do you think he's going to feel safer knowing the entire FBI is out to Ruby
Ridge him and I'm the only thing standing in the way? The FBI doesn't
he is. Wake up and smell the cheese, honey.
The walls have eyes.
Any one of those people in that room tonight could be the FBI in deep cover
assignment.
Oh, sure, you're saying Dale's all buggy and paranoid.
I've made inquiries into certain people, and it wouldn't surprise me one little
bit. that it comes back that they're not who they say they are.
And who exactly are you referring to?
Well, when I get the facts, you'll be the first to know.
But only because I like you.
Some ignorant types may think my kind of a job is a nowhere's road to dead ends,
Bill. But to me, parking lot security is the first line of defense.
Say, do either of you ladies like me?
Dale, I've got to talk to you. Excuse me, can't you see I'm talking to some
ladies?
These aren't ladies, Dale, they're men.
I was attacked in my room.
Dale.
Felt they're gone.
Don't be too sure.
Describe them.
Um, flat nose, hopeless eyes.
Fortis.
Stinking Fortis.
Consider yourself lucky.
Fortis have been known to mutilate a body faster than you can say Steady
5.
But if our government taught them one thing, it's how to get in and out
In other words, sometimes in their hurry, they leave a little something
Maybe nothing more than a flake of skin or a bead of gooey green sweat.
Dale, there's nothing under there.
But what about this?
Oh, what is it?
Well, I'm thinking maybe you wounded one during the struggle. Could be a hunk of
skin tissue, some kind of blood, maybe even...
Hair gel.
Admit it, Gunther! It was you and your digit -worshipping friends that attacked
me in my room! Digit -worshipping? Ooh, that hurt.
These are serious charges, Gunther.
If you and the fifth column were involved... Why the hell would I even
time? To make Boo look foolish, maybe? She doesn't need any of my help. Far as
can tell, she's foolish enough already. Not to mention gullible and simple
-minded. You might as well fess up, Gunther. We know you were there. You
your calling card behind.
Fine! Fine!
It was us.
We were just trying to make a point.
I mean, if she is stupid enough to believe that a bunch of cheesy -looking
aliens could attack her, who knows what else she could buy into, huh? Like, say,
a floating metal fragment? Good example. The girl's a flake, just like the rest
of you.
Hell, this was supposed to be my year, damn it!
The fifth column's year.
Why couldn't you believe?
In this.
Bingo.
Smoking gun and all.
Look what we found in the dumpster behind Mr. Monty. Got that hair squidge
over it. Pulp's rounding up the last bit over at the restaurant.
I have never been so disgusted in all my... Gunther, pack your bag.
As president of the North American UFO Convention, I hereby suspend you and the
rest of the fifth column for any further participation in NAWFOC events.
Stay calm!
Screw you and your convention.
You can't deny us our right to be heard. Go ahead and try.
The finger will not be silenced.
Gunther, I'd always thought he'd go too far someday.
You sure you're okay, boo?
I'm good.
As a matter of fact, I am better than good because with Gunther out of the
this press conference tomorrow is really going to soar on the wings of an eagle.
When you say hang in there, do you mean hang in the earth? We will say to the
world, there are things in the universe that we don't understand.
Things that the government is afraid to share with us. Boo. But we have
discovered something that will change all of that. Something that we are
to share with you.
You can call it what you want, but we call it the truth.
Boo!
We've got a problem.
is it duct tape some wire conductive tubing tell it again from the
beginning like i said i walked in and the bus boy was poking around at the air
vent with a broom and ping it opened and all the stuff fell out of course what
do you mean of course of course what what are you people talking about
and wires and jerry rig remote control probably holograms too and animatronic
sock puppets That floating fragment was nothing but a piece of theater.
And we fell for it.
Hook, line, and sinker. People, for all you know, this could be Gunther's
handiwork. Or maybe it's been up there for years.
I bet my bippy if you stick a few magnets on a thing like this and tape it
the ceiling, you're gonna find... Where are the magnets? Mr. Bruford pulled a
fast one on us.
It's alien autopsy all over again.
We are so stupid. But why? Why would he do this?
Maybe we're just jumping to conclusions.
She's right.
For all we know, the government put Buford up to this. Right, the
make us look bad.
Come on, everybody.
Sometimes a piece of tubing is just a piece of tubing.
I looked into Mr. Buford's eyes, and he was telling us the truth.
Mr. Buford, it's only us. We just want to talk.
Wait, this is so unnecessary.
Yeah, well, then why isn't he answering the door, huh?
Gosh. Mr. Buford, we're sorry to barge in like this.
I think Max is gone.
Telling us the truth.
Yeah.
Just like we thought.
Mr. Buford's gone and so is his box.
Not to mention everything in the minibar. Damned hotel bear not tried
us for it. Hey, the towels are missing and so is the rubber bath mat.
What a weirdo. Nobody up front saw him go, but we scoured the parking lot for
his car and it definitely isn't there.
How could he just leave us like that without saying anything? Maybe there's a
perfectly logical explanation.
Yeah. Like maybe he knew the feds were closing in. I keep telling you, the
government didn't know he was here.
What if the government did know he was here?
Because somebody told them about it.
You mean like Gunther? Yeah, Gunther!
He had a motive. Could be Gunther.
Could be somebody else.
Yeah.
Like... Like... Like nobody.
The man bolted because this whole thing is a lie.
Maybe we're wrong about Mr. Buford.
Maybe we're wrong about a lot of things.
Who?
Who? Where are you going?
Thought I'd find you here.
Have a drink.
Looks like you need one.
Sex on the beach.
How did you know that was my drink?
Oh, you'd be amazed what you can find out about people if you do a little
surfing.
Do you mind if I, uh... You okay?
Oh, yeah, I'm great.
Considering this feels like the worst day of my life, I should have listened
you when you said how complicated things are.
You wanted that fragment to be real in the worst way, huh?
I'd rather not talk about it.
Funny thing is, you know how you feel.
Can you keep a secret?
Sure.
You know that story I tell about when the aliens, you know... My God.
Dale, are you saying that that actually happened?
No,
no, no. I mean, it never happened.
I made it up.
You've got to believe me. I wanted it to happen.
I mean, I wanted to see aliens.
I still do.
Just because you want something to be true.
I understand.
Really, I do. I know there are aliens out there and all.
God, I know how desperate that must sound.
I just want it to be accepted, you know?
I mean all the people here at the convention, they're like my family.
They accepted me when nobody else would.
It's all based on a lie.
Wow.
You were great, boo.
Now, I've been with a lot of women. Not that I'm bragging.
But, wow.
You were... And that was... Wow.
You didn't think it was wow, did you? No, it was fine, Dale. It was just what
needed. It was?
It was real.
It happened.
There's no denying it.
That's one way of looking at it, I guess.
You and I just had sex.
It's a fact.
It was way better for you than it was for me. That's another fact.
Now, wait a minute.
Just because I wouldn't stick my tongue... Dale, I'm not passing
It's just that I have never been more confused or tired in my whole life.
Hello?
Mr. Buford?
Try and understand what I'm saying.
It's all about John, okay?
John! His life is going down the drain!
Who? What the hell are you talking about?
Listen, it's nothing personal, Mr. Buford, but you sound like you've been
drinking. Please, listen to me very carefully.
I'm not trying to turn you on or turn you off. I'm, uh, I'm venting, okay?
I'm venting! Actually, Mr. Buford, I'm right in the middle of something.
The
nerve
of that man. After all that he's done to me to call here at this hour.
Where did Buford say he was?
Doesn't even matter. He's drunk and he's probably feeling sorry for himself.
Maybe. But if I've learned anything from my experience in the security field,
It's that nothing is ever as it seems.
The man called you for a reason, Boo.
We need to find out why.
I
could
have told you this was a waste of time.
Mr. Buford!
Oh my God, there he is.
Is he?
He's dead, all right.
Something is not right here.
Dale, please. You saw all the bottles.
He was inebriated. Obviously, he hit his head and then he fell down and he bled
to death. Sure, sure. He seemed drunk. But was he?
150 cc's of government -grade sodium pentothal would have exactly the same
effect on him.
Government did not do this.
I'm not saying it was the government.
Could be the fifth column for all we know. Or the Masons. Or the Illuminati,
maybe.
There's a damn fragment. That's what I want to know.
Well, obviously the government got it back. Ooh, or maybe it was the aliens.
Except that's not what this picture says.
Tell you what I think.
Government guys follow them, think they found their pride, discover they're
wrong, get a little carried away demonstrating their disappointment.
Or, have you thought of this?
Maybe it's just what it seems to be.
Mr. Buford was a lonely drunk who thought he could have a few laughs
fast one on a bunch of social outcasts. That's exactly what they want you to
think.
Look, when it comes to UFOs, the government's agenda never changes.
Discredit, disavow, disinform.
Now, what you see is real, but it's a little more complicated.
A spaceship looks like a spaceship. Hell, it may even be a damn spaceship,
it's not really a spaceship.
You ever wonder how much work it would take the people who come up with these
plans to actually come up with them?
That's why the government has whole agencies dedicated to this kind of
FEMA, ATM, CIA, the Trifab Commission.
The what?
You ever heard about the Trifab Commission?
Probably better that way.
Oh, yeah, much better that way.
You know, you're starting to sound like me, doubting everything.
Maybe I'm just winding up.
It's all about John, okay?
John! It's all about John.
His life is going down the drain.
His life is going down the drain.
I'm venting, okay? I'm venting!
Smart son of a bitch.
He kept it wrapped up nice and tight to keep in the light.
So I guess it is real.
Maybe.
I still want to believe in it, but I want to believe because I know
intrinsically what it is.
Obviously, it's no ordinary hunk of metal.
Well, yeah.
I mean, it floats.
But do we know why it floats?
No. Does the fact that it floats mean that it comes from outer space and
the only possible explanation?
I'm not qualified to say, and neither are you.
The fact that it does what it does, it's got to be from an alien technology.
Or maybe it's just a really clever magic trick and we haven't figured out how
they're doing it.
If you want to drive yourself crazy thinking up all these what -ifs, go
ahead.
Personally, I think it's time to look what truth I do know squarely in the
You want to know why I believe in aliens?
I believe in aliens because I needed to.
When I was in college, I met this guy, Winton, and we had a little daughter
named Krishna.
One day, we were all heading to this ashram in Oregon.
It was Winton's idea. He was always... Very spiritual that way.
And we stopped at this little cafe out in the middle of nowhere so I could use
the bathroom.
And when I came out, they were gone.
They just drove off without you?
They never showed up at the ashram and they never went back to our little
apartment. And when I called Wynton's family to find out what had happened,
said no. I mean, as far as they knew, Wynton and Krishna had just vanished.
Maybe they weren't telling the truth.
Well, I'm sure they weren't.
I guess I got really carried away because the next thing I know, I'm
in this hospital, and I'm looking out the window day after day thinking to
myself, where'd they go?
Where'd they go?
And then one day, another patient wanders by and says, maybe the aliens
them.
And I thought to myself,
well, why the hell not?
I mean, I could live with that.
The funny thing is,
When I started to feel better.
Sounds like his family talked him into leaving you.
And taking the baby with him.
Guess I need to look into that, huh?
So, what do we do about this?
We tell the truth.
What is with all the mystery?
We really need to get down to the convention floor.
I've got to boot the finish setting up. Look, everyone, I know this is
inconvenient, but I promise it's important.
Oh, Boo, come on in.
Okay, you all remember how we searched Mr. Buford's hotel room yesterday?
Well, we missed something.
You found the fragment?
Well done, Boo, well done. I knew it would turn up. I thought we all agreed
was fake.
That's funny. I don't remember anyone agreeing to anything.
Well, why don't you check the ceiling tiles and go ahead and rip up the carpet
if you like.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
I told you it wasn't fake.
No, I told you.
What are we all sitting here for? Come on, let's take it downstairs.
Everybody, hang on just a second.
Wait a minute, okay?
Now, we have to be very careful about this.
Ike says he wants us to be taken more seriously.
And that's what has to happen.
You don't think they're going to take this seriously? Are any of you a
metallurgist? Maybe a physicist?
How about your plain old garden variety scientist?
I didn't think so.
Which means that as interesting as this thing is, we don't know what it is.
Therefore, we are going to present this to the world as a mystery.
And we are going to invite the world, the government included, to help us
that mystery.
The government?
Don't you see?
This is a part of our problem.
We don't trust anybody, not even ourselves.
Which is why I'm hoping that by reaching out in the spirit of cooperation, that
we can end the mistrust and the paranoia.
Ike, you want me to do it?
You're our leader.
I think the world should hear about this from one voice.
Yours.
Thank you, Boo.
I appreciate this.
Is there anyone here who doesn't agree with what we're doing?
Good.
Let's go tell the world.
Where the hell is everyone?
Didn't you just pass them in the hall? They're heading down to the convention
floor. No.
Who's got the suitcase?
Ike does.
We've got to stop him. Dale, don't get me started.
I just saw Gunther Van Owen in the parking lot. I don't think he's here for
refreshments. What are you talking about?
Remember when I said I was looking into some people?
Well, say hello to Ike Pilchard, Gunther Van Owen's best buddy and card
-carrying member of the Fifth Column and the F .B. Freaking High.
You've got to listen to me before you go down there.
Do you recognize the guy in the potato pack, Ray?
That's Ike. At a fifth column picnic ten years ago. I got this off the fifth
column website.
Here's another shocker.
Gunther Van Owen.
He's a Shriner.
So?
It's basic. Basic.
Shriners are masons.
Masons have ties to the U .S. government, which have gone all the way
the beginning of the republic.
Now, to reach the highest level of masondom, the 33rd level, masons from
over the world have to travel to Washington, D .C.
The connections are obvious. The fifth column and the FBI are one and the same.
Dale, that is the flimsiest story. All right, all right. What about this one,
then?
This was from the telephone directory of the J. Edgar Hoover building in
Washington, D .C.
What's Gunther's name doing on there if he isn't a fed?
Oh, my God. Gunther Van Owen right there on the page.
Disavow. Discredit.
Disinformed. Exactly.
Doesn't that sound like Gunther to you? It sounds like the whole damn government
to me.
So Ike and Gunther... Are plants.
Hide in plain sight times two. And I have just put the fragment into their
hands. How much do you want to bet that those...
Bastards have already switched that fragment for some cheap plastic doodad

Thank you.
to welcome you all to the 10th annual North American UFO Convention.
I think you'll find this year's
gathering is, well, to put it mildly, kind of special.
And I'm happy to see our friends in the media have shown up too.
I promise you, you will not be disappointed.
So our story begins at Mr. Monty's house upon... There's columns here, I can
feel it.
The CIA, the FBI, the tripod commission.
If I
know anything about how the feds operate, he's their
insurance policy. Come on, hurry. So, to be honest, we're not exactly sure how
poor Mr. Buford came to this untimely demise last night. All we do know is
he showed up, gave us the spaceship fragment that's in this suitcase,
Then ran.
Now, those of us who attend these conferences, we hear a lot of stories,
some of them are pretty fantastical, which is all a convoluted way of saying
that what I'm about to show you, well, I guess I'll let it speak for itself.
No, sir, I can't. Not today.
Dale, what are you doing?
We know all about you and Gunther. You fit column levers. I got him. Who are
talking about?
Ladies and gentlemen, I must apologize.
Those of us at Malfoy are well aware that Mr. LaRose is somewhat prone to
hyperbole.
Don't listen to him, folks.
Right here is the picture definition of liar.
What he doesn't want you to know is that he is an agent of the government, the

metal fragment since we got it last night. Ladies and gentlemen, I implore
He wanted us to open this and show you what was inside.
knew that you would think that we are liars and we're crazy because there's
nothing in here.
The truth is aliens are real. They're here. They're among us and they're
with our government.
Our government is lying to us.
More and more shots now ringing out.
It's just pandemonium here on the convention floor. Dale was telling the
That's why the government killed him. You've got to listen to me.
Disavow. Discredit.
Disinform. That's what they're trying to do to us.
Please, we're just getting word now that the police have surrounded the shooter.
Don't move them up.
Our source is telling us now that the police have a tentative ID on the

leadership over some kind of alien finger.
His name is Gunther Van Owen. That is not the truth.
Gunther Van Owen works for the government. Gunther Van Owen is the
Ladies and gentlemen, it's a very, very sad day here. The question isn't really
do aliens exist. We'll probably never know the answer to that. The real issue
here is what would make one of these people so angry?
What would cause them to become so unhinged that they would perpetrate an
violence like this?
A toaster?
Dale's right.
How is he?
He is fine.
It would be a whole lot better if that so -called marksman hit the death where
he was supposed to.
When we get back to the office, I would like a word with him.
And the package, can I see it?
Right here.
Good job, Agent Bolson.
The folks back there will buy the goods we just sold them? If you mean, will
anyone know that twice that commission did this?
I doubt it.
Those poor crazy bastards back there.
No one will ever believe a word they say ever again.

I believe.
Sometimes the best way to hide the truth is to keep it in
