okay, burt. thank you, inspector. we appreciate your position and we'll do all we can to cooperate with you. but i have to tell you right now that, if it comes down to it, we're not taking any chances with mr. langford's life.
if your men haven't been able to locate mr. langford by air time, we're going to have to put this king guy on, no matter what he's said. after all, inspector, what's ten or fifteen minutes of talk show time against a man's life?
