CLARINGTON, hereafter "C": We're recording now.
JUSTIN DOYLE, hereafter "J": Fuck you.
THOMAS, hereafter "T": [Laughs.]
J: Know I told you ta fuck off earlier, but I just wanted ta make it official you know? No sense wastin it in the ether.
T: [Laughing] Oh I agree. I agree completely.
C: Let's continue.
J: With what?
C: With what you were about to tell us.
J: About C.
C: That's correct.
J: Listen, I don't know what happened ta him. He's dead for all I know. Alright?
T: You're sure of that?
J: How can I be sure? That's what's so fucked up about all this. I wasn't there. You were.
T: Yes we were. You might say we had a front row seat.
J: So what do you need with me?
C: Tell us about the outsider known as Auld.
J: Haven't seen him. I never saw him. Not on the powder am I?
C: No, our tests show you're clean.
J: So what can I tell you?
C: Maybe Auld sent an intermediary to contact you.
J: An intermediary?
C: That's right.
J: I haven't heard anythin from him. And you won't either.
C: What makes you say that?
J: You just won't. He's not the type ta let himself get caught.
T: Not like you.
J: Yeah, not like me. How much longer is this gonna take anyway?
C: Relax.
J: You relax. You really gonna use that in here?
T: Find out.
J: Come on –
[SECTION DELETED]
J: You mothers… You [Inaudible.]
C: Tell us what happened.
J: I wasn't there!
T: Before J, tell us about before. Why were they in the mines?
J: Look, all I know is what C told me.
C: And what did C tell you?
J: That they were goin back ta the mines, but he never said what they planned ta do there. Auld never told us, not outright. He never told us nothin, but you can bet he knew what was comin.
T: Do you believe that?
J: Don't you?
C: Go back to the apartment the outsiders were staying in.
J: Shit, I already told you everything. I just want ta get out a'here. I mean, what the fuck do you want from me?
[SECTION DELETED]
T: That's better.
C: I trust you're ready to continue?
J: Fuck you. No. Look. No, I'll –
[SECTION DELETED]
T: We don't enjoy having to do that.
J: [Inaudible.]
C: Let's return to what happened on the 16th.
J: I already told you.
C: Tell us again.
J: They left early. Said they were gonna meet another outsider. Someone named Irbe.
C: Who said that?
J: C. I asked him about this guy, this Irbe, but he didn't know anythin. He asked Auld about him, or it looked like he asked him – you got ta understand how fucked up it was for me, I mean I couldn't see who he was talkin ta. It was like C was holdin the conversation in an empty room, you know? Talkin ta himself.
C: He'd mentioned Irbe before?
J: Yes.
C: How often?
J: I don't know. A couple times. He only met him when we moved inta Auld's apartment.
T: Which was when?
J: The day after you sent me ta the fuckin hospital.
C: What else did he tell you about Irbe?
J: Nothin.
T: You'll have to do better than that.
J: What the fuck else can I say?
C: Was Irbe the one who supplied the explosives?
J: Maybe. Anyway there wasn't anythin like that in the apartment. Nothin I saw.
C: And Irbe was with them when they went to the tenement?
J: I guess.
C: You're sure that's how they accessed the mines? Through this secret passage of yours?
J: Yes I'm sure. Did the same thing myself, dozens a'times. Anyway how the fuck else?
T: Someone found another way.
J: What?
T: Someone else was there.
J: Who was there?
C: Let's return to the subject at hand. Tell us again how you knew that Irbe was bringing the explosives.
J: I don't know, not for sure.
T: You just said you were sure.
C: Let's go back to the beginning.
J: I already told you everything! I just want – no, wait –
