Description
On-screen: Close up on the nurse
Description: A dramatic cue beginning with a stinger as the nurse's eyes open wide (the "Courage" theme from Most Dangerous Game, combined with the oscillating "Iron Door" motive); we see a gangster reading a newspaper with the headline "Police Net Closing on Killer / Early Capture of Broken Nose Dawson Believed Certain / Police Hot on Trail"
Analysis: Tense harmonies over a dominant pedal tone in D minor
