- Dutton?- General Hollister.
:02:53
Come in.
:02:58
- You want a drink?- No, thank you. I don't have much time.
:03:01
- I would have called but...- But what?
:03:04
I didn't want to risk a wiretap.
:03:07
A wiretap? You sound paranoid, Colonel.
:03:11
No, General. Just being cautious.
:03:13
And the reason for this caution?
:03:17
The word just came down this morning.
:03:19
A special directive to all section chiefs.
:03:21
The Inspector General's startinga full investigation of arms contracts.
:03:26
I see.
:03:29
- You're sure?- Yes, sir.
:03:34
That's unfortunate.
:03:37
But I suppose it would havehappened sooner or later.
:03:40
- If they find out...- They won't find out.
:03:43
General, if anyone digs deep enough,
:03:45
they'll discover I've let yourconstruction company charge a fortune.
:03:49
Offer the standard explanation,
:03:51
unforeseen difficultiesin developing the arms system.
:03:54
It won't stand up. When the IGsees your bargain-basement bids
:03:58
he'll know I let youpractically steal those contracts.
