- Pardon me, sir.

- What is it?

- I don't know. But whatever it is, keep away. Don't let anybody near it.

- Yes, sir.

- Carver? Carver!

- Yeah. Yeah, but check that bar he goes to. Check his girl's apartment. Keep somebody on watch there in case he comes around.

- Just a minute. It's okay. He just came in.

- Where's the key?

- What key?

- The key you took from Doc Kennedy. I want it.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- The key's very important. Don't waste my time. Hand it over.

- Is it as important as Velda?

- If you hadn't sent Velda out to do your dirty work, she wouldn't be in trouble.

- Now give me the key.

- Will you make a deal for her?

- Please. The key.

- Sure. You'll make a deal for her, like you did for Christina. You held her under custody in a hospital, and you let her get away. You let her get killed... the way Raymondo and Kawolsky were killed. And Nick and maybe Carver, too, for all I know.

- Carver?

- Yeah. Surprised? What kind of an investigation are you running around here anyway?

- Lily Carver. Christina Bailey's roommate.
