:26:00
l could make that call.
:26:01
But the boys don't
do that sort of job.

:26:04
lt's a little high-profile.
:26:05
But they're with us, right?
:26:08
Yes, sir.
:26:09
But we're talking about
a large bus on a public highway.

:26:13
And that's big news.
:26:15
Our friends in Las Vegas
don't like. . . .

:26:18
They're embarrassed by
that kind of coverage.

:26:20
Our boys, then. The cops,
deputy sheriffs, Highway Patrol.

:26:24
We've got heavy-duty weapons,
don't we? Bazookas?

:26:27
We have the assholes.
:26:29
Show some balls!
Blow them away, for chrissake!

:26:31
Sir, with all due respect,
this is a very well-traveled highway.

:26:35
We don't want blood and tennis rackets
all over the asphalt.

:26:38
Screw it!
:26:39
A few casualties.
:26:41
lf there are casualties,
other than Shockley and the girl. . .

:26:45
. . .someone will be answerable.
You.

:26:47
l make the decisions.
:26:50
Now what is it?
Are there any other options?

:26:56
l suggest we let Shockley
drive right in.

:26:58
Now, we have his route.
:27:00
We then employ a two-phase plan.
:27:02
ln phase one, we use his friend,
Josephson, to lay a trap.

:27:05
ln phase two, we clear
the streets along his route. . .

:27:08
. . .deploy our men and create
an impassable barrier.

:27:11
A gauntlet, if you will.
:27:13
He won't have a chance.
:27:16
That would work, wouldn't it?
:27:20
l mean. . .
:27:21
. . .we could control
the media then too.

:27:25
We'd appear justified, getting him.
lt'd be a feather in our caps.

:27:30
-Excellent thinking.
-Then that's our plan.

:27:34
Can you manage? Can you
arrange the thing with his friend?

:27:37
Josephson, sir?
:27:39
Yes, sir.
:27:40
l'll put it in the works right away.
:27:45
I repeat to all units:
:27:48
Station yourselves as requested.
:27:50
Battalion Captains will be taking
their orders from this office only.

:27:55
Contingency nine-one.
:27:57
We're doing this to one of our own?
:27:59
You heard Blakelock, didn't you?
