"The gems you are after are in my father's possession."

"We know that much already."

"To get them you must first get him."

"But you caused one of your spies to do so for you."

"Admitted."

"And you have them now."

"So we have."

"That makes you as guilty as if you did the work of smuggling yourself."

"So I presume. We connived the trick, for our own benefit, to cheat the

for us. Now, we don't wish to be pestered with your persecutions any
longer."

"I don't see how you can help yourself."

"We do."

"How?"
