Warning: Spoilers
Once again, Thriller comes out with another great episode, this one right after another great episode. Seems like back to back great episodes. Robert Lang and Julie Sommars play the man that wants to kill and Ann Rodgers, the woman he wants to kill, after realizing that she saw him coming out of her flat where he just finished murdering a young lady. She knows he has done it..and HE knows this. So, he is trying to silence her one way or the other.

This was a nail bitter of an episode. Because he knows he has been seen, he needs to track her down, and, whilst working on some unfinished business in an office building, unbeknownst to her, the killer comes and kills a guard. When she is ready to leave, and see that the doors are locked, she horrified to find out that Tony the guard is dead. Trying to go back up to the 12th floor, she sees the blood near the elevators...and decides to take the stairs. He sees that no one is there...until he sees her purse. Now he KNOWS she is trapped and it is a game of cat and mouse. Will he catch her? Will she outsmart him? Does the police know where she's at?

The last 10 minutes are really intense to this thriller and you wonder how will they catch him. Now, I understand a couple of people didn't like this episode because the cops took their time, the killer could have not run after her, stayed put and just killed her or, better yet, got the hell out of town, and Ann could have broken the glass doors to get out of there..but, seriously, when you are in this type of situation, sometimes all logic goes out the window. And common sense. Point is, with that being said, this was still a great episode after the previous great episode, A Coffin for the Bride.
