The Killer Is Loose Page #2

Go and get it.

Bring it up, Denny.

Come on, open up.

This is the police.

Did he strike you as

a guy who'd try to

knock himself off?

All right.

We know you're there.

It won't do you

any good. You're not

going to take me.

Worked himself up

into quite a stew,

hasn't he?

Scared amateur,

bolted inside.

This is Sam Wagner

from this afternoon,

you don't want us to

break the door down do you?

Get away from there.

I mean what I say.

Okay, Denny.

You said he wasn't crazy.

He's a psycho.

Doris.

Doris.

Doris?

Doris?

Everything's going to

be all right, honey.

Don't be scared, honey.

I'll take care of you.

They said she wasn't here.

She didn't know about it.

The hold up.

Not till tonight.

Not till she came home

when I was packing.

She wanted to go with me.

Poole, I...

Even after I told her

she still wanted

to go with me.

That's how she is.

That's how she

has always been.

That's why I

can't understand why

you'd do such a thing.

It was an accident.

We didn't know she was here.

We couldn't see.

You couldn't know

what she's like.

You made us

use guns, Poole.

You did that!

There was no

need for any of...

She was...

Not just kind and

smart, she was...

I wasn't even

alive before her.

Don't you see

how wrong it was

to do that?

To kill her.

Nor, Leon Poole,

are we unmindful

that you have

suffered punishment

of a sort

difficult to calculate.

Yet the fact remains,

you have been

found guilty of robbery,

resisting arrest

and attempted murder.

It is, therefore,

the judgment of this court

that you, Leon Poole,

be sentenced to

the state penitentiary

for a period of 10 years.

On each count.

Sentences to

run concurrently.

This court now

stands adjourned.

Of course, there's the

matter of good behavior.

That'll make

a difference.

Sam, the DA wants me

to thank you. Good job.

Yeah.

You two want to

join us for lunch?

Why, we'd love to.

Why, sure.

Sam, Mary and Chris...

Could have been

worse, Poole.

It was worse, remember?

I remember.

Poole, we tried

to explain.

Someday, Wagner,

I'm going to settle

with you for it.

I'm certainly going to

settle with you for it.

Let's go, Sam.

Welcome to

the club, Lila.

I expected a lot

of things, but that

wasn't one of them.

You'll hear that

1,000 times.

Do you ever

get used to it?

No, but you get numb.

The prisoner is sullen,

generally uncooperative,

frequently rebellious.

I wasn't myself then, sir.

I had a lot of wrong slants.

So many things had

happened to me all at once.

Some men can never adjust.

You did and quickly.

These past two

and a half years have

made a big improvement

in your attitude

and behavior.
