And then you lose.

iSthatSo?

Yep.

i needed the money.

it's a miilion dollars cash, and i needed itfor....

That'Swhat itwaS about.

i told mySelfthatthe Chidducks...

...they'd be good, you know, and that the babywould have a good life.

i thought itthrough a thouSand times. i thought I could do it.

i waS-- l was certain, and itwaS--

itwaSthe--Whatwas best foreveryone involved.

Forthe baby, forthe ChidduckS...

...for mySelf.

The baby.

Then...

...i felt it move.

And l saw his little handS.

The baby'S mine.

Okay, i'm sorry, but by"yours," doyou mean that--?

i mean thatthe Chidducks' embryo didn'ttake...

...and this iS myson that i'm carrying.

Sothat means thatyou and Mr. Chidduck....

No.

Dr. Painter.

-Thatsneaky little quack. -But itwasn't his idea. itwas mine.

i made it happen because l needed the money.

i made it happen.

Listen, you don'twantguyS iike him ormetouching yourbelly.

That'S creepy.

Oh, no. We'll meetjust right pastthe border.

Oh, listen, l appreciate it. Okay, thanks a lot.

You enjoyyourcoffee?

i deal in counterofferS and adjudication.

You doyourjob, Mr. Bullet-Catcher, and i'll do mine.

Maybe I didn't present the real threat.

Not likeyou, Shooting atguys who agreed notto commita crime.

All right. All right. Come on.

-The moneycoming? -ln awhile.

Then i suggeSt Dr. Painter goeS in nowwith 50 grand.

And when you go out, i'll go in.

And adjudicate?

ifitcomestothat, yeS.

You go in byyourSelf.

i think I can handle it.

And you, Cufflinks...

...Stay here and watch Mr. Chidduck in caSethere's a contingent.

-ln casethere'S awhat? -Athird man. Abutton.

Something, anything thatwe haven'tthoughtof.

it's called CYA, you fucking moron.

Coveryourass.

Sir, as a collector ofprewarcopjargon...

...i find the old man refreshing.

Nevertheless, he's one againsttwo who kilied two ofmyfour.

i Suggestyou let him C yourA.

WhatSeemsto bethe problem here?

The deciSion's already been made.

The doctorgoeS in with the moneyalone.

Hefollowsthe demandStothe letter and deliverSthe child.

-We keep ourdiStance. -We move in ifthere'S a complication.

Ouroniyconcern isforthe liveS atstake.

-l hope you're notseriouSly-- -l'm in a tightcorner, Joe.

it's pure geometry, Mr. Sarno.

We've been head-to-head with these guys, remember.

One old man all alone outthere....

No onewill come outalive.

To be honeSt, Joe...

...that's notwhatthiS is about.

You're conflicted here.

Yourjob has been to protect me and myasSociates and my money.

But i no longercare aboutanyofthat.

ThiS is about mychild.

And that, in itself, preSents itS own Special conflict, now, doesn't it?

Emotional detachment, Joe.

Forwhat it'sworth...

...i thinkthesetwo pretty much define it.

Areyou uptothiS?

i'll dowhateverhaSto be done.

All right. Jeffers and ObeckSwiil followyou.

See thatyou come outSafely with the baby.

He Said "adjudicate," and thatcan mean a lotofthingS.

There's more going on than you were Seeing. You don't havethe eyeSforit.

What i heard wasyou ready to putawoman's life at riSkformoney.

Not money.

$15 million.

Money iswhatyou take tothe groceryStore.

it'swhatyou getoutofan ATM.

$15 million is not money.

it's a motive with a universal adapteron it.

-You don'tthinkthatthose-- -Never, never, neverthink.

Thinking's howyou lostyournerve in thefirst place, Dr. Painter.

What, you think i don't knowyou?

You thinkyourfatherand i have Secretsfrom each other?

i knowaboutyour residency, yourso-calied hiatus.

i knowaboutthat bad piece ofluck you had in Baitimore.

-l didn't ioSe my-- -l know...

...you weren'texpected to deliverthis kid.

i knowyou can't.

i knowyourskull is splitting down the middle...

...because you think thiSthing'S gonna playout...

...and you're gonna haveto deliver thiS baby intotheworid.

Well...

...what happened in Baltimore will not happen here.

You underStand?

Because i won't let it.

So....

So...

...don'tthink, Dr. Painter. Justdo.

And whateveryou do...

...don'ttell themwhat I know.

Keepyourmouth shut, and everything will bejuStfine.

JuStfine.

Dumping Sarno's gonna betough to expiain.

TougherStill to do.

He'il dropfrom a Skull Shot like anyotherman.

Wejusttake him out before he goes in, bring the money in ourSelveS.

And afterthat, it's ourword againstthe desert'S.

Creative articulation, baby.

What is it?

Something in there between Sarno and Chidduck.

Ain'tclear. it's chapping myass.

WhatwaSthatShit he said aboutconflict?
