alone at night.

- Really going to take good care of me, huh?

- Yeah.

You said you didn't belong in this setup,

so I'm getting you out of it fast.

Sorry, but this is how it adds up.

You're still in love with that girl.

You'd do anything to help her.

You got more on me

than any guy in this town.

And I'll lay you odds that you'll go

to the cops and spill everything you know.

Well, I'm just gonna beat you

to the finish.

Goodbye, Eddie, and happy New Year.

Get them up, George.

So you thought I'd yell copper, huh?

I never did that in my life

and never will.

If I want anything done, I do it myself.

Yeah.

You always was a fair guy, Eddie.

I'll make a deal with you.

We'll be partners again.

I'll take the heat off Lloyd,

beat the rap some other way.

Eddie... Crazy...

Eddie, don't...

- Eddie.

- This is one rap you won't beat.

Sounds like Eddie talked out of turn.

Get up.

Open that door.

Get them up.

You like to laugh, do you?

See if you think this is funny.

Eddie! Eddie!

Eddie!

Drop it! Drop it!

Eddie.

Eddie.

He's dead.

Who is this guy?

This is Eddie Bartlett.

How were you hooked up with him?

I'll never figure it out.

What was his business?

He used to be a big shot.
