• 0:03
  Speaker 1: A killer starring Dan Overlay. A tale well calculated to
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: keep you in suspense. All right, mister, this is as
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: far as you go.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: What's the matter, officer? What's wrong? You'll have to park
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: here for a while. The street's closed. But I live
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: on this street. I've got to get home. My wife's
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: waiting for me. She just had a baby. You'll be
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: a little late. Now, just a minute. Look, will you
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: keep your voice down?
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: What is this, a stakeout? Yeah. Who are you after?
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Roy Jaliska. Jaliska? That guy who's wanted for murder? That's right.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Where's he hiding?
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Down the street, three doors. There's a cop every ten
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: feet from here.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: To the river. You'd better go into the drugstore and wait.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: You can call your wife if you want. I think
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I'd better.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Where'd you say he was? That boarding house across the street,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: down three doors. We live in the apartment house right
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: next to it. You don't think there'd be any shooting?
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Just tell your wife to stay inside and keep her
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: door locked. She'll be all right. Thanks. Honey? She's got
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to be home. Hello? What's the matter, honey? I thought
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you weren't going to answer. I, um.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I was looking after Johnny.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: He okay?
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Yes. Just getting hungry.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Well, go ahead and feed him. I'm going to be late.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: I don't want to scare you, Jess. There's going to
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: be a little trouble next door. I don't want you
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: to leave the apartment. The police are after someone who's
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: been hiding out in the boarding house next to us.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: A whole block is surrounded and I won't be able
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: to get home till it's over. And remember, you're not
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: to come out.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: All right. There's nothing to be afraid of, Jesse. Just
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: stay inside and keep the door locked. There's no need
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: for that now. Goodbye, dear. What? Jesse? Hello? Hello?
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Jesse?
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I tell you, Sergeant, I'm positive there's something wrong up
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: there in my apartment. What makes you so sure? Well,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: my wife was afraid of something.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I know she was.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Something right there in the room with her. I didn't
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: realize how different she sounded until.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I hung up.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: You say you live next door to the boarding house? Yes,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: the apartment house next door on the third floor. I'm
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: sure he's in there with her. He could be anywhere now.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: We've hit the boarding house and he wasn't in his room.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I knew it.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: He went across the roof. He's with Jesse and my son.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Now, don't go jumping at any conclusions. Our apartment is
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: on the top floor. He could get in easy enough.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Let me go up there, Sergeant. Please let me go
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: up there. I've got to be with my wife and baby.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: What good would that do? We're not even sure he's there.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I'll make sure.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Look.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Look, if everything's all right, if he isn't there, I'll
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: call the drugstore and have them tell you so. If
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: he is, I'll... Well, I'll let you know somehow. We
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: can think of some kind of signal.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: All right. Now listen to me. Yes. Go straight to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: your wife.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: If you pass anyone you don't know on the stairs
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: or in the halls, keep going and don't look back.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: He's trapped and he's scared now, and he'll kill you
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: if he thinks you're onto him. I realize that. If
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: he's not in your place when you get there... Call
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: the drugstore. If he is there, well, there's nothing I
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: can tell you. You'll be on your own.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: But don't try to signal. You wouldn't get away with it,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and it's not necessary.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: If I don't get your call ten minutes after you
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: go in, we'll know.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Remember this, mister. If he's there, don't try to be
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: a hero. Just do whatever he tells you. Keep a
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: good distance from him, and don't make any quick moves.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: He's been in spots like this before. He'll know what
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: it means. I know. That's about all, I guess. Just
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: be careful. We want this man. We want him bad.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: But we don't want anyone hurt getting him. We can
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: help it.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: You understand?
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I understand. And thanks. Okay, mister. You can get going. Jesse! Jesse,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: it's me!
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Jess!
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Honey, is everything okay?
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Come in, Henry.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Get your hands over your head, get up against the wall,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and don't make any noise or I'll kill you.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: In you.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: You won't never know what it means to wish you
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: could die until you get a. 45 slug in the stomach.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Don't worry, Jesse. I know he means it. I mean it.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: It won't do any good, you know.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: No matter what happens to us, no matter how long
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: you stay here, they'll get you.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Listen there, guys.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Just like me, those blue suits don't make them Superman.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: They make mistakes like everyone else. They already made a
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: big one.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: What? They shouldn't have sent you. Nobody sent me. My
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: wife didn't sound right when I spoke to her over
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: the phone. I came up to find out why. Yeah,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: she gave it away. She's sorry about that.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Jesse, did he.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: It's all right, Henry. Please, it's all right.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Did he hurt you, Jesse? Never mind that.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: She just got out of the hospital. Would you like
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: this so you go back? I hope they kill you.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I might.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: I thought about it. I guess maybe you better start
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: thinking about it, too. It'll happen next time you make
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: a crack like that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Henry, don't. Don't.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: I'm going to ask you a couple of questions. And
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: you're going to give me the right answers. The right answers, mister.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: The first time or you'll get hurt bad.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: What do you want to know? Where were you when
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: you made that phone call? Drugstore. At the corner.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: And your wife don't sound right. You think maybe something's wrong.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: You want to get up there. You want to find
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: out why.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: We don't hear you coming up the stairs until almost
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: ten minutes after she hangs up.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: What are you doing all that time? Well, you see,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: at first I wasn't sure she sounded like there was
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: something wrong. It was only after I hung up and
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: got to thinking about it that I started to worry.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: And then I made up my mind to come up.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: You don't stop to talk it over with the cops?
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Why should I? How could I know it was you
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: in here?
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Cops all over the block looking for me, searching every building.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Streets probably closed off, and your wife sounds scared over
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: the phone. She don't say why. Sounds like someone's with her,
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: and she don't say who. And you don't think it
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: might be me?
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Well, yes. Maybe. You don't say nothing to the cops, though?
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: No.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: You just come up all by yourself?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: You sure of that? Yes.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: No.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: No. Henry, Henry. Henry.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: It's all right. I'm all right, Jesse. What do you
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: think I am?
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: There's a line of cops five feet thick around every
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: building in the block, and no one gets through unless
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: they let them. You're here because they put you here.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: I'm giving you just five seconds to tell me why.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: What's the big plan?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: He's hurt, can't you see?
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: You've hurt him.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that plan. I don't know what
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: they're going to do. But I know you're in here.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Go on.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: I did go to the police when I thought you
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: were here with my wife. I don't think they believed
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: me at first. But I talked them into letting me
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: come anyway. If you weren't here, I was supposed to call.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Them right away. And if I was? Nothing. Just wait.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: And if they didn't hear in ten minutes, it meant....
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: It meant I couldn't call. That you were... That you
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: were in this room.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: What time is it? Too late. Much too late. They
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: know Jaleska. They've stopped searching. They know you're here. You
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: haven't got a chance. I got a chance. As long
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: as I ain't alone, I got a chance.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: You, lady.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Go get that kid.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: No.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Why do you want him? We'll do anything you say.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: You look okay. You don't want to hurt the kid.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Nothing will happen. if you do like I tell you.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Get him, lady. All right, Jesse.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Henry.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: It's all right. I'm sure of it. You haven't got
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: much time, Juleska. You know it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Killing our baby is something you wouldn't do.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: You can bring him in, Jessie.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: If you say so.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: You're so sure this is the end of the line
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: for me. Those cops down there, they're so sure. Well,
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you, I got lots of time. And you're
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: going to help me take it.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah? That's right. Now back up to the wall and
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: peel off that jacket. What? You heard me. Take off
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the jacket. Throw it on the floor. Sure. All right.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: What are you going to do? I'm not going to
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: do anything. You're going to take it for a while.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: What do you mean? You don't get it. I'm kind
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: of surprised.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: I don't see any way out for you, if that's
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: what you mean.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: They know you're here.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: They know I'm here. You made sure of that, didn't you?
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: So they're covering every way out. Doors, windows, alleys. What
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: do you suppose would happen if I tried one of them?
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: They'd probably kill you.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: I start out that window and every cop comes running
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: to the bottom of the fire escape to see if
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: I don't finish the trip. There won't be any cops
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: anywhere else, see? In the alleys or on the streets
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: or down near the river. They'll all be watching the
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: guy on the fire escape, won't they? And the guy
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: on the fire escape.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: He don't need to be me, does he? It won't work.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: You're crazy to think that'll work.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: I got to take that chance now. You're going out
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: that window, mister. And you're going to take your time
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: doing it.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: They've seen me. They know what I look like.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: They saw a guy in a leather jacket right close up.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Now you're a guy in a white T-shirt three stories
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: over the street coming down a fire escape. That makes
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: you a different guy. That makes you Roy Jaleska.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Well, what if they start shooting? The minute I step
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: out in that window... What if they do? It's a
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: chance you've got to take. You don't want me to
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: take all the chances, do you?
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Ah.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: A little guy. All right, bring him in.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: He's asleep. You....
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: He's asleep. What's his name?
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Johnny.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Johnny, eh?
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: That's a nice original name.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: You little kid, sir. I don't guess you'll put up
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: any arguments, will you, mister?
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: No.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: No arguments.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: And I'll be right here with your wife and kid
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: till I see our little schemes working, so don't try
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: no tricks on the way down. I won't.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: What does he mean? Henry, what are you going to do?
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: You can read about it in the papers, lady. Now
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: go turn out the light.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: The light?
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Turn it out. But don't try nothing, neither one of you.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: You got your kid in here now, and there's no
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: telling who'll get hit.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: If I had to shoot wild. Turn it out, Jesse. Henry, I...
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: All right, come on. Now, you, the window. Okay, they're
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: all waiting. Get going.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: You can't let him go out there. They'll think he's you.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: They'll kill him.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: I stepped out onto the slatted platform and started toward
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: the flimsy iron ladder. The cops had seen the light
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: go out and I could hear quick moving in the street.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: I could feel every eye focused on me. Jaleska was right.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: It was going to work.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: All right, hold up there. We see you. I'll take
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: another step.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: And then I discovered there was a part of the
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: plan Jaleska.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Hadn't told me. The part that would guarantee his escape.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: From the window behind me, he fired down into the police.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Their guns flew up automatically and everyone was aimed at me.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Henry. Henry.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Don't touch him. Let him alone.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: He's losing blood. I've got to have a doctor.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: You'll get a doctor, Lisa.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Why don't you go? What are you waiting for? Haven't
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: you done enough? He's been shot.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: He's hurt.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: And you stand there. I thought you wanted to get out. Well,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: get out now. Get out! Yes, ma'am. Henry, you'll be
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: all right. Don't try to move, darling. You'll be all right.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Is he gone? No, mister. I ain't gone.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Our little scheme don't look like it's going to work.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Coming up the stairs right now.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Don't move, Henry. Be over in a minute.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: You're glad, huh?
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: No.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not glad.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I feel sorry for you.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Out. I've been running a long time. I think it'll
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: feel good to stop. Funny.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: When they're after you and you're running away, you look
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: the same, Yak, the same as you always did, but
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: it's different on the inside. You're all tight and twisted.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: No matter what you're doing, you can't relax. You can't
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: get a.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Good deep breath.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm almost glad.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Guys are going to do a lot of bragging tomorrow.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I know you're in there. Come out with your hands
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: up or we'll come in and ask you.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: They finally get me, Jaleska, the guy they're all afraid of.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: You killed a man.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I killed a guy. I got mad, real mad.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: Things happen when you get that way. Things you can't stop.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: When it's over, no matter how it happened, you're different
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: from anyone else.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: You're a killer.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: One day you're just a guy, and then something happens
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: and you're a killer.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Please go, please. Haven't you heard us enough?
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Sure, sure, I'll go. Why not? It won't make much
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: difference now. Buddy, you know what I mean, don't you?
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: You're just a guy.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Put your gun down. Maybe they'll give you a chance. Chance?
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: What chance? I've been waiting for a chance all my life.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Give her the gun. It'll be better. Forget it. Get
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: out of the way, lady. I'm going out.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Why don't you let me have your gun?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Get back. Get way back.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Jessie. It's all right, Henry.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: That's right. Stay there. I... Stay just like that. Okay, Jaleska.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Hold it right there. Don't come any farther. Where's Johnny?
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: In the other room. Way in back.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: There's six guns on you. You haven't got a chance.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Drop that thing and come down with your hands.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Over your head.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.

  Speaker 2: We shouldn't have tried.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Jesse.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Why didn't it work? They shot at me. And then
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: it was at least a half minute when he could
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: have got out that door.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Why didn't he? What made him wait?
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Don't talk, darling. It's all over now.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: What happened? Tell me. When the police fired at you,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: he started for the door.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: He was almost out. And then he stopped. He came back, Henry.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: They were still shooting. He went out onto the fire
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: escape and lifted you into the room.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Then he started for the door again, but we could
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: hear the police on the stairs.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: It was too late.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Is your husband all right?
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I think so. Will you get a doctor, please?
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I already sent one. Take it easy, mister. You're going
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: to be okay. Just lie easy. Yeah, sure. You know,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: it's funny. Not funny. Strange. Strange.
