AMBASSADOR *****: We've seen this before. Usually in the mid-south.
CONSULAR OFFICIAL ****: Addiction?
AMBASSADOR *****: Yes.
CONSULAR OFFICIAL ****: But this Pearson fellow is west coast.
AMBASSADOR *****: I know. I know. That's likely how he slipped this through our customs checks.
CONSULAR OFFICIAL ****: How much are we talking? A pound? Two?
AMBASSADOR *****: Forty seven.
CONSULAR OFFICIAL: (unintelligible)
AMBASSADOR *****: Best we can tell now is he had some connection in a Southeast Asian regime. That's where the shipment originated.
CONSULAR OFFICIAL ****: And the whole thing transited through Australia.
AMBASSADOR *****: That's where the real magic happened. This Pearson arranged for it to be cut down there. For easier distribution.
CONSULAR OFFICIAL ****: He's not going to deal this stuff. It's all for him.
AMBASSADOR *****: Forty seven pounds of prime Philippine bacon? You're crazy. No one man can handle that.
