THAT SIDE OF EDDIE'S LIFE IS OVER FOREVER.

HE'S GOING STRAIGHT. \h\h\h\h[ Laughs ] HOW MANY TIMES \h\h\h\hHAVE I HEARD THAT BEFORE?

I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU BOYS KNOW...

THERE WAS A PEARL NECKLACE STOLEN FROM THIS HOUSE LAST NIGHT?

WELL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?

\h\h\h\hWHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT IT? THIS IS THE FIRST I'VE HEARD ABOUT IT.

YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO PIN IT ON US ARE YOU, WELCH?

\h\h\h\hNO. I'M JUST GONNA ASK YOU \h\h\h\hA FEW QUESTIONS, THAT'S ALL. SURE. GO AHEAD.

WHERE DID YOU GO AFTER YOU LEFT THE GARAGE LAST NIGHT?

I WENT RIGHT HOME, AND AFTER DINNER, MY WIFE AND I WENT TO BED.

\h\h\h\hANYBODY WITH YOU? NO.

WHERE DID YOU GO? \h\h\h\hI WENT TO THE MOVIES \h\h\h\hWITH MY GIRL.

h\hWHAT WAS THE NAME \h\h\hOF THE PICTURE? 10,000 YEARS IN SING SING.

\h\h\h\hYOU OUGHTA SEE IT. \h\h\h\hTHE CROOK WAS A REAL GUY. YEAH, A REGULAR FELLA.

I'LL CHECK YOUR ALIBIS LATER.

WANNA ASK 'EM ANYTHING ELSE, MR. FLANNIGAN?

NO. I THINK YOU'VE MORE THAN COVERED THE GROUND, MR. WELCH.

GOOD DAY, MR. CARSON. WE'LL KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOU. \h\h\h\hTHANK YOU, MR. FLANNIGAN.

DON'T WORRY, MR. CARSON. WE WON'T OVERLOOK ANYTHING.

I'M SURE YOU WON'T, MR. WELCH. WHY DIDN'T YOU BOYS TELL ME THAT YOU'D BEEN IN PRISON?

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHY, MR. CARSON.

BECAUSE EVERY TIME WE TOLD AN EMPLOYER ABOUT OUR JAIL RECORD, WE DIDN'T GET THE JOB.

SO AFTER A FEW TOUGH BREAKS, WE DECIDED NOT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

BUT WE'VE BEEN GOING STRAIGHT, AND THAT'S ON THE LEVEL.

I'M SORRY YOU DIDN'T TRUST MY JUDGMENT.

BUT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, I CAN'T VERY WELL KEEP YOU.

WELL, I'M SORRY YOU FEEL THAT WAY ABOUT IT, MR. CARSON,

BUT I-I GUESS...

WE UNDERSTAND.

\h\h\h\hGOOD-BYE, SIR. MR. SIMPSON WILL SEND YOU YOUR CHECKS.

YES, SIR.

MOST UNFORTUNATE THIS HAD TO HAPPEN.

MR. CARSON, FROM NOW ON, EVERY MOVE THESE BOYS MAKE WILL BE WATCHED BY ONE OF MY MEN.
