As Roger turns his police car in Jack's direction, Jack steps into an alleyway hoping to avoid being seen. Roger exits his police car and intercepts Jack on foot. He detains Jack in order to determine if Jack is the robber. Jack, however, is not in fact the robber but believes a misdemeanor traffic warrant for his arrest may be outstanding. So, when Roger asks Jack his name, Jack replies, "William Wilson." At that moment, Reuben, Jack's brother, walks up and says, "Jack. Why have the cops stopped you?"
