Ed, you actually think this guy is|surfing Treasury Department files?
What if he can't decode this?|We can make a less secure encryption.
Maybe we should indicate we think|Sanders knows where the gold is.
Listen to me. I had a grandfather|who was a trapper by profession.
Now he had two prices|on his card: wolf...
and everything else.
Now a wolf...
will starve itself to death...
rather than make a mistake.
You have to lay down a scent|that smells real from far away.
And the bait...
has to be fresh|and untouched by human hands.
And make no mistake about it...
we are hunting wolf.
Send the message.

A secret, huh?
I love a secret.
Alvin...
do you feel like a lucky man?
No. Yes.|Well, it depends on what you....
Of all the many crimes|that men commit...
the worst punishment|is rewarded those...
who squander their good fortune.
- You're right, you're right.|- You understand me?
No, sir.
Mr. Sanders...
you were arrested and booked...
by a police officer|named Wayne Miller for...

Well, you know,|actually they were prawns.
You know the big jumbo shrimp|that's, like, at least a dollar...
Six weeks ago,|in an internal investigation...
Miller admitted to a dozen counts|of falsifying evidence.
Son of a...
Jesus.
Thank God for people|that come forward.
Needless to say, we've been petitioned|to repudiate the convictions.
Repudiation is what...
What everybody needs more of|is a little repudiation.
Now, repudiation is....|Use it in a sentence.
I have a short sentence|for you, Alvin.
You walk.
I'm back, baby!
You miss me?
I'm free!
New York City, do you feel me?
Okay, let's take it for a spin.
Time code is locked.|Satellite uplink is sealed.
Tracking is a go.
Hey, yo, taxi!
I'm trying to get to Queens.
Jeez, that's bad for me.
I don't go to Queens.
What do you mean?
I seldom get there.|Where is it?
Copy that.|All right, guys, we're up.
