envelope with parole papers and photo?


where'd Joe pick it up?


A dream is a wish your heart makes when you're fast asleep. RIP, Ilene Woods.

They were in the accordian file Joe takes from the lawyer's office filing cabinet. When he originally takes the file, he goes to a rooftop to have privacy to take the $200 (only it turns out to be $30,000). Joe takes the cash and stuffs the file into a crevice in the wall (I originally thought it was a garbage chute to an incinerator, but when Joe goes back later in the story to look through it for a clue where to find the bad guys, I realized he just shoved it out of sight as the pigeon man was close by).

Am I anywhere near the imaginary cliff?
