Crime Wave Page #3

There, you see.

I told you.

Doesn't look so good for Mr. Lacey.

Who's there?

- Who is it?

- Open up, Lacey.

- Morgan?

- Steve.

What are you doing here?

- Is the Doc here?

- Doc who? Penny?

No. Otto Hessler.

Otto Hessler. Remember?

He was in the pen with us.

He's a real doctor, he used to be.

He'll patch me up.

I called him. I gave him your address.

Where'd you get it?

Never mind. I told him to come here.

I don't want him here or you, either.

I'm clean and I mean to stay that way.

Get out, Morgan.

I can't move, Steve. I'm hurt bad.

Don't touch him, Steve. Call the police.

No! Stay where you are.

Where are the others,

Penny and Hastings?

They coming here?

No. We had to break up.

They'll get you, Morgan.

They'll find you here.

Not if you help me.

Look, I walked a mile

so I wouldn't park a hot car on you.

I've got to get patched up.

Do me a favor. Call the Doc again.

Here's his...

On your feet, Morgan.

You're getting out of here.

Morgan.

Come on, get up. You hear me?

Come on. Come on. Wake up.

Stop it. Call the police now. Don't wait.

Yeah, sure, call the police, easy.

With Penny and Hastings loose?

If I turn him in, I'll be running till I'm dead.

Get up, Morgan. Come on, wake up.

Come on, Morgan, come on.

Wake up. Wake up!

You sent for me?

He did. Get him out of here quick, Hessler.

Has he got any money?

I won't touch him if he hasn't.

I don't know. Ask him.

He's dead.

No, no. He was just talking a minute ago.

Where's the money? He must have some.

He knew I wouldn't come unless I got it.

There's only $100 here.

From the way he spoke, he had more.

What happened to it?

I told you, I don't know. Put it back.

I'm entitled to it. I took a chance coming...

I said put it back.

Don't, Steve. Let him go. Let him have it.

All right, take it, take it all.

But you take him with you.

How can I? What would I do with him?

No. This is no affair of mine.

Absolutely not.

I'll have to do it myself.

I gotta get rid of him somehow.

No, you can't. Don't touch him.

Call your parole officer.

I call O'Keefe, he calls the police.

But you haven't done anything.

You're innocent.

Once you do a stretch,

you're never clean again.

You're never free.

They've always got a string on you

and they tug, tug, tug.

Before you know it, you're back again.

You've got to call him. Do it for me.

For you, yeah.

They can't do anything to you.

Can't they? You wait and see.

Just one thing,

he died before we could help him.

He didn't talk

and we didn't see Hessler. Nothing.

He was dying when he got here. That's all.

All right.

All right, anything you say.

Hello.

Hello. This is O'Keefe.

Who?

Oh, Steve Lacey.
