You're way off the mark. Martin Cahill|isn't into the drugs. Neither am l.

You sure?

We're just ordinary, decent criminals.

If you're not going to take my word for it,|why don't you ask Martin?

Why are you chasing the drugs?|You should be after the pubs.

- They do more damage than the drugs.|- Yeah, right.

Yeah?

No. I tried that. It was a dead end.

Call you back? Grand.

So how many guys|are you working for stories at once?

A less generous person|might say you were ungrateful

Stealing old paintings, kidnapping bankers'|families. You're above that now, are you?
