Poe Seems we have ourselves a bona fide federal fugitive out on the lam. Name of Roberts, Mark J. Uh, somebody give me a map. Who's got a map around here?
Earl I got one.
Poe Oh, all right. Thanks, Earl. Okay. Okay. Now, uh... I want you setting up roadblocks, general radius of, uh...ahem, uh, 10, 12 miles--
Samuel Gerard Twenty.
Poe What?
Samuel Gerard He's got a real big head start.
Poe Oh, okay, 20 then. That sounds good. And...In all directions, just like a big--
Samuel Gerard Perimeter.
Poe Uh, circle deal. Uh, which should start somewhere near, uh... Uh...
Poe [to Samuel]
Uh, what do you think?
Samuel Gerard Set perimeter to extend downstream from Brookport to Mound City! Every bridge across the Ohio River, from Golconda to Metropolis to Cairo, needs to be closed down! Extending south from Alexander and Pulaski county lines, have every house, hotel, hospital, back road and backwater searched for Mr. Mark J. Roberts!
Samuel Gerard All right, could I have your attention? We're gonna divide up and search this swamp. One officer with each of you. [to a group of volunteers] Who knows most about this terrain?
Volunteer 1 [hand raised]
That's me.
Volunteer 2 [hand raised]
Right here.
Samuel Gerard All right, which one of you is the ugliest, most inbred, country son-of-a-bitch here?
Samuel Gerard [Volunteers laugh with their hands raised, except one who spits on the ground] [points to the spitter]
You come with me.
Lamb I admit it was wrong to withhold information from you, but the fact remains, Sheridan killed those agents. He's still at large. He's armed, he's dangerous. Until we have him, we won't know the extent of the leak. Now you have your precious information. What do you intend to do?
Samuel Gerard [matter-of-factly]
Catch him.
Samuel Gerard [Gerard finally catches up to Sheridan, who is standing at the edge of the rooftop about to jump] [Gun pointed at Sheridan]
Sheridan! Sheridan! Turn it around! Get down from there and face me!
You'll have to shoot me!
Samuel Gerard TURN...AROUND!
...Can't...I can't be caught. [Jumps off the roof]
What the hell is the matter with you? Sam, you can't do this. I know how you feel. Look, I feel the same way. I loved that kid, too, but this is wrong. I'm telling you this as your friend.
Samuel Gerard You're not my friend.
[enraged]
Fine. Forget it. You wanna kill Sheridan, go ahead, you do it. But remember this: You forget everything you taught me about this job. The rules, the regulations, the code. You do this, and it's all about you. It's not about Newman. It's about you. The great Sam Gerard.
Samuel Gerard [goes into the elevator by himself]
Yes, I am.
And you always have to win.
Samuel Gerard [as the elevator door closes]
Yes, I do.
