But that turns into one of those plans where you're killing everybody that notices you're killing people, until Der Kestle is going down in flames and you've lost your hat . . . and any plan where you lose your hat is a bad plan.

History says that there are two ways to deal with people who know secrets - co-opt them, or kill them.

If you co-opt them, you have to deal with unexpected consequences.

If you kill them, you have to deal with bodies. This often leads to awkward questions and unexpected consequences.
