10:48.400 --> 10:50.080 Well, if there is, we haven't been able to find it. 10:50.080 --> 10:52.200 You think Anderson's telling everything he knows about it? 10:52.200 --> 10:53.680 No, I doubt it. 10:53.680 --> 10:55.760 No, that description had put a hundred guys. 10:55.760 --> 10:57.480 You got any ideas of where we go from here? 10:57.480 --> 10:58.480 Oh, yeah, maybe. 10:58.480 --> 11:00.080 It might not work, but it's someplace to start. 11:00.080 --> 11:01.080 Well, let's hear it. 11:01.080 --> 11:04.920 All right, can we take a look at the map over here? 11:04.920 --> 11:08.200 The information we got, the main operation must be taking place someplace down around 11:08.200 --> 11:10.000 here, around the harbor area. 11:10.000 --> 11:11.000 Yeah. 11:11.000 --> 11:12.000 From what we hear, the stuff's there, all right. 11:12.000 --> 11:14.040 The problem is how to find a connection. 11:14.040 --> 11:16.880 Well, maybe if we just lose a man down there, we thought. 11:16.880 --> 11:19.440 Put a man down there and let him work on his own, he might be able to come up with some 11:19.440 --> 11:20.440 answers. 11:20.440 --> 11:21.440 Pretty risky, Joe. 11:21.440 --> 11:22.440 That's a rough place. 11:22.440 --> 11:23.440 I wonder if it'd be worth risking a man down there. 11:23.440 --> 11:26.120 I don't think we got much of a choice, Skipper. 11:26.120 --> 11:27.120 No. 11:27.120 --> 11:30.320 Well, we figured that maybe if I went down there and let it get around that I wanted to 11:30.320 --> 11:32.880 make a buy, a big one, maybe they'd come to me. 11:32.880 --> 11:33.880 Why you?
