> I suspect these might not be applicable to male interviewees, but as far as I can tell, men are never interviewed by private investigators, so I guess you've got hold of one who doesn't know his business very well.

No, no, they are, but in a totally different setting: he's got to come to you. As the rich and corrput owner of a private gambling establishment, hold the interview in your office, with the hired muscle standing behind you menacingly. Smoke a cigar and perhaps offer the PI a drink, but don't take him seriously. Start out jovially, and as the interview continues, get more and more angry as the PI's questions grow increasingly pointed. Eventually, you'll blow up at him, revealing something important, but have your goons throw him out (possibly roughing him up in the process).

Bad news, Don: within a week, you'll be dead or in jail. When the fateful showdown comes, be sure and use a line like, "You'll never take me alive!" or "See you in hell, Marlowe!" Those are both pretty good.
