The Killer Is Loose Page #7

Synopsis: A savings-and-loan bank is robbed; later, a police wiretap identifies teller Leon Poole as inside man. In capturing him, detective Sam Wagner accidentally kills Poole's young wife, and at his trial Poole swears vengeance against Wagner. About three years later, Poole (until then a model prisoner) abruptly takes his chance to kill a guard and escape. It's clear during the ensuing manhunt that Poole is obsessed in pursuit of a single end; but not quite the end everyone supposes.

We better pick him up' now.

Miss the first crack,

he'll shoot her dead.

Can you swear you won't miss?

No.

You'll have to

call the signal' Sam.

I can't and won't.

She'll use her head.

If she passes by here,

Poole will think

he made a mistake.

She won't play it that way'

she'll try to reach you.

She can't!

What's wrong with you?

She's in love with you'

isn't she?

She's not going to think

everything out with her head!

But you call it.

Is that the way you want it?

Come in, Sam,

you haven't much time,

she's almost there!

She's got to pass by, Chris.

I know she will.

Just let her keep walking.

The minute she's in

the clear, move in!

Here they come' Sam.

Sam, she's going past,

she's gonna make it!

Sam.

It's all right, darling.
