Crimewave

aka: Crimewave

and so at midnight, just 12 minutes from now

mass murderer Victor Ajax will be executed

at the Hudsucker State Penitentiary

Now it's Ajax's turn to die.

Ajax, a security system's repair man gets death by electrocution

Thus writing finis to the horrible tale of murder and mayhem

that shocked our fair city just...

claiming innocence to the end, but nothing can save Ajax now.

You...

No...

Sit down!

Wait... wait... no... no... no!

Okay, Gout

Just fried Gurwitz

You're next, Ajax

But I'm innocent. Innocent, I tell ya

Don't give them the satisfaction

Ajax!

Well, good luck kid, give my regards to Golds.

Come on pipsqueak, we're saving a seat for ya!

Say, you look like a couple of reasonable fellows and...

let me explain what's.. . what's going on here

I'm not supposed to be here!

It's all a big mistake

It's no hard feelings on this end.

Mistakes do happen

and naturally I can explain everything

see I only worked for Mr Odegard and Mr Trend

I was an employee in their security shop

and Mr Odegard wasn't a very nice guy and...

Don't sit down, Vic!

I guess he was planning to sell the shop right out

from under Mr Trend's nose

So tell me Odegard... do you still o-v-e love it?

Could you die? Does it... ah... trip your alarm?

Frankly, Renaldo, what you do with this shop

after you bought it doesn't interest me in the least

But let's keep this little transaction to ourselves

I wouldn't want my partner to know he's losing his business

Somehow, Mr Trend must have found out about it

Mr Trend wasn't such a bad guy

but he and his wife had sunk

their whole lives into that business and...and...

Mr Trend would have done anything for his wife....

anything.

Center City Exterminators...

Trend?

You there?

Give me the word, come on, ya creep.

Do it tonight, he'll be working late, alone...

and make it quick

I don't want him to suffer

Did you hear that, Arthur? He doesn't want him to suffer long!

Helene, I'll never let that rat destroy our happiness

you can count on it.

So, so you see...

I had no idea Mr Trend was up to something

nobody did, it was between the two partners

I had nothing to do with it!

If you could only find Nancy, she's my witness.

If you could only find her she'd tell you I'm totally innocent.

She'd tell you the whole time I was across the street from the shop

installing the video security system

in Mr Trend's apartment building

Mr Trend!

Honey, I'm home

Who is it?

It's me Mr Trend!

Oh... Hi, Vic. What's on your mind?

Silliest damn thing, it's a broom closet!

Well, one more camera

Mr. Trend and it's...

back to the shop

Fine, back to the...

You know Vic, I'm glad we ran into each other

in this amusing fashion

For a long time now I've been looking to have a heart to heart with you

you know you're always been more than just an employee

to Helene and I

Honey, I'm home

You find this work appealing, don't you, Vic?

And how, Mr Trend!

And have you ever thought about the grand design?

I mean, there's something missing, isn't there, Vic

A door, Mr Trend?

What's behind the door, Vic?

Oh,... Oh...Jeez,...

Mr. Trend I'd love to have a foyer, but on my salary...

a large apartment is...

I'm not talking about the anteroom, Vic...

I'm talking about the little princess inside.

Lord knows I'll do anything for Helene

Don't go back to the shop

Take the rest of the day off. Now you go out and find a little princess

that you'd do anything for. Now you go out there and find yours.

Oh, Thanks, Mr. Trend

Just make sure that... she knows who's boss

Okey-dokey, Mr. Trend

How are you tonight, Colonel?

Adequate!

One night I'm loving. Hell of a storm brewing.

You know how I can tell?

No, how?

Steel plate.. in my head.

Yes sir, Korea was no picnic.

Word of advice son, when you hook up 4G

don't flirt with the filly that lives there.

She'll slap you quicker than you can say "present arms".

Yes sir, there's one woman that can take care of herself...

All by herself...

All by...

Taking care of herself

that's important

but two people

taking care of each other

that's romance...

romance

Let's see

chapter one: The perfect woman

Of course the perfect woman is not just gonna walk into my life, Gee...

Ohhooooooooo... Holy moly!

Oh! my goodness, are you okay?

Come on fuck, get outta the road!

You're a maniac!

Incredible, I've never seen anything like that!

- Are you alright? - Ah.. ha. oh..

Oh its.. oh, oh.. you've got the key... whoops.

One more thing, chode, don't you EVER call me a maniac.

I should get away and watch where I'm going.

Are you alright?

Yeah...

Are you alright?

Me? Yes.

Excuse me?

What?

Oh, I.. I.. thought you... said something.

No.

Ah....

...you didn't?

Well...Thanks again

Um! Would you... Iike...to have...

some lunch some evening?

I'm sorry, No!

Ah, or a cup of coffee?

No, no, really.... I ah...

I'll pay.

No, that's not it...really...I...

Well look...

If you're not hungry... maybe we could just chat.

Hey, hey!

I've got the rest of the night off and...

Renaldo!

Hiya, cupcake

Say, where were you?

I had to walk home from work

Oh I... oh.. I ran into an old army buddy and

I was detained

Hi, I'm Vic

Glad to know you

Say, what the hell, in the neighborhood

wadda you say you and I go out and

drown a couple olives, huh?

Well, I don't know... you..

It's a date then. 8 o'clock Rialto Cafe, eh?

Well, okay!

Socially the man's a genius, I wonder if he's read this book

- Bye Baby! - Goodbye Renaldo, goodbye!

In all my years in the city... I ain't seen nothing like this...

...cheap Japanese umbrella...

I am so scared...

Holy Hanna, are you okay?

Jesus, I don't know

Look out for the !

Did you see that?

Did you see that?

Helene, please come away from the window

Is that Mr Odegard's car down there?

Honey, this roast is absolutely delicious

Is Mr Odergard working late tonight?

No..

he went home..

to eat his dinner.

he was very hungry and he went home

Well, it looks like there's a light on down there.

Helene, your food's getting cold.

He's still there, honey and it's after 7 o'clock.

I didn't know you were still there, honey.

I didn't know that Mr Odergard would be working late tonight.

Wait.... I think somebody's with him
