00:00Richard Kimball is a renowned doctor in Chicago. However, tonight an unexpected incident happened
00:05to him. After attending a party, he was on his way home with his wife when he received an
00:10emergency call from the hospital. There was an emergency surgery that needed Richard as the
00:14lead surgeon. But when Richard finished the surgery and returned home, his wife had been
00:19murdered. Helen had called the police before completely losing consciousness. The police
00:23quickly secured the scene and Richard was taken to the station for questioning. He explained to
00:28the police that when he got home, his wife had already been murdered and he had struggled with
00:32the killer who hadn't had time to escape. But unexpectedly, the man escaped from his grasp.
00:37However, the killer had a distinct feature, which was that he had a prosthetic arm. At that moment,
00:42Richard had accidentally pulled it off. But because the two struggled so violently,
00:47Richard did not get a clear look at the killer's face. But as for this testimony, the police did
00:52not believe it at all because all the evidence at the scene indicated that Richard was the one
00:56who murdered his wife. When the police examined the scene, they found no third-party fingerprints
01:01nor any signs of a third-party break-in. Helen was hit hard on the head and shot. Not long after,
01:06there were no signs of life. The scene was covered in Richard's fingerprints and nothing of value was
01:11missing from Richard's house. Furthermore, the police also found a piece of ironclad evidence,
01:17which was that in the recording of Helen's call to the police, she had called out Richard's name.
01:21At the same time, Richard also had a significant motive, which was that his wife Helen was a very
01:26wealthy woman, making Richard the sole heir. Therefore, the police had enough reason to
01:31charge Richard. At this point, it was useless for Richard to say anything. The judge quickly
01:36delivered the verdict on Richard's case. After considering the various factors of this case,
01:40the jury found the defendant's intent and method of committing the crime to be extremely brutal.
01:46Therefore, the jury declared that the defendant would be sent to the state prison
01:49and executed by lethal injection. The date of execution would be set by the state's attorney
01:54general. Hearing the resonant bang of the judge's gavel, Richard finally snapped out of his days.
02:00He never expected that before he could even escape the pain of losing his wife,
02:04he would be framed by the killer and become a scapegoat. Richard would be taken to the state
02:08prison along with three other inmates. Richard carried fear and helplessness in his heart,
02:14feeling more desperate than ever because he had absolutely no idea what the killer's motive was.
02:18And tonight would surely be a sleepless night because not long after, one of the prisoners
02:23began to show signs of being unwell. Deputy Marshal Cosmo Renfro was the supervisor. As Renfro
02:29was about to check on him, the prisoner unexpectedly pulled out a hidden weapon. Renfro had no time to
02:34react and was stabbed, collapsing immediately. Another officer drew his gun and shot back at the
02:40attacking prisoner, killing him on the spot. Another prisoner saw this and also chose to resist,
02:45and an accidental discharge unfortunately hit the transport vehicle's driver. As the bus broke
02:50through the barrier and plunged down the cliff, it flipped several times before finally being
02:55stopped by a tree stump. Because Deputy Marshal Renfro was injured and needed medical attention,
03:00the remaining guard gave Richard the key to unlock his handcuffs to ask for his help.
03:04But something worse was about to happen because their bus had coincidentally stopped on a railroad
03:08track. As the train gradually approached, they all realized the danger was coming. In that critical
03:14moment, Richard could only risk pushing the injured Renfro out first. At the last moment,
03:19before the bus was hit, Richard chose to jump out of the vehicle. A horrifying scene occurred.
03:24The bus was pushed straight forward by the train, and the train's emergency braking caused the
03:29locomotive to detach, the freight cars to derail directly. Fortunately, there was a deep ditch ahead,
03:34so Richard quickly jumped down to take cover. Richard had narrowly escaped, and the scene had become a
03:40pile of wreckage. Richard's first thought was to escape because he could only save himself.
03:45At this moment, he discovered that the prisoner who had just escaped had not left yet, and this
03:50prisoner used the key the officer had given them to unlock the handcuffs for both of them.
03:54Richard was still injured from the explosion's impact. At this point, he couldn't worry about much
03:59else, so the two chose to part ways and find their own paths to survival. The police who arrived at the
04:04scene were all stunned, and this incident also shocked the chief of the marshals, Samuel, because these
04:09prisoners were supposed to have been received by him. But unexpectedly, such a serious accident
04:14occurred. Of the four prisoners, two died on the spot, and the other two escaped. Of the three
04:19officers, one died, one was injured, and one was lucky to survive. Moreover, Richard was a prisoner who
04:26had received special media attention. To quickly capture the escaped prisoners, Samuel mobilized all
04:31local police forces to conduct a thorough search around the scene. To avoid attracting attention,
04:36Richard could only walk along the riverbank until he reached a small nearby town.
04:41Richard knew that to avoid being tracked by the police, he had to change out of his prison clothes.
04:46Taking advantage of a pickup truck driver's attention, Richard stole a set of work clothes
04:50and quickly moved to another location. But because Richard was injured, there were bloodstains,
04:56and the police still discovered the direction he had fled. Samuel knew Richard would definitely
05:00treat his wound, so he immediately notified nearby hospitals and pharmacies.
05:04At this point, Richard had snuck into a hospital and slipped into a patient's room to find some
05:10first aid supplies to treat his wound. As a doctor, Richard knew that once the wound became infected,
05:16he wouldn't be able to escape far. After treating the wound, Richard also took the opportunity to
05:21change into the patient's clothes, and the nurse bringing in a meal nearly startled Richard. But luckily,
05:26he quickly opened the bathroom door and hid inside. After the nurse left, Richard shaved his beard
05:31and quickly changed his appearance to avoid being recognized by passersby. The food the nurse brought
05:37was truly a timely ring. After eating his fill, Richard was about to leave when he encountered
05:42a police officer on the hunt. Luckily, Richard had already disguised himself as a doctor. When faced
05:47with the officer's questioning, he even joked that the escaped prisoner and he looked quite similar,
05:52except for the beard. Richard's composure made the officer dismiss his suspicions.
05:57Richard wanted to leave immediately, but there were many police cars searching for him in the area.
06:02The appearance of an ambulance gave Richard an idea to get out of there. He proactively offered
06:07to help, but what stunned Richard was that the person being rescued was the injured Deputy Marshal
06:11Renfro. Seeing that Renfro was about to expose him, Richard quickly put an oxygen mask on him,
06:17forcing him to be silent. After the paramedics left, Richard chose to drive the ambulance to escape.
06:23The police quickly learned of Richard's trail from the hospital when they received a report that an
06:27ambulance had been stolen. Chief Marshal Samuel realized it must have been Richard's doing.
06:32After tracking the ambulance's location, Samuel decisively dispatched a helicopter to personally
06:37prepare for the capture. The appearance of the helicopter made Richard realize he was being tracked.
06:42The road ahead was about to go through a tunnel, so Samuel ordered his men to block both ends of
06:47the tunnel. This way, Richard would not be able to escape. Richard discovered he was surrounded from
06:52both sides and could only hastily abandon the vehicle to flee. When the police converged in the
06:58middle, everyone was stunned because Richard had once again strangely disappeared without a trace.
07:03It wasn't until they heard the sound of running water that they realized Richard had escaped through
07:07an underground drainage pipe. Samuel had no intention of giving up. He led a team to continue the pursuit,
07:13but the drainage system had many branches, forcing the officers to split up. The fleeing Richard also
07:19detected Samuel's pursuit by the sound. This area had a steep slope, making it very difficult to walk.
07:25As Samuel was chasing him down, he suddenly slipped, causing his gun to fly out, and he fell as well.
07:30As he hurriedly searched for his lost gun, Richard had already picked it up and pointed the barrel at
07:35Samuel. Richard said that he was framed. He did not murder his wife at all and did not want to harm
07:40Samuel. Samuel did not want to listen to Richard's explanation. Richard could only take the gun and
07:45quickly leave. But he had no idea that Samuel had a backup gun. The fleeing Richard quickly discovered
07:51he was at a dead end because below was the damn spillway. Samuel, having just arrived, quickly got
07:57Richard under control. Seeing this, Richard could only drop the gun in his hand. At this moment,
08:03Richard knew he had no way out, so he launched himself and jumped straight down. Samuel was extremely
08:08shocked to see this scene. He never expected Richard to have such a strong will to survive.
08:13Richard fell into the water and disappeared without a trace. The waves created by the current
08:17made it impossible for Samuel and his colleagues to see clearly below. However, Samuel had no intention
08:23of giving up the chase. Even if Richard was a corpse, they had to pull him up. At this point,
08:29Richard had floated downriver. The cold weather, combined with being submerged in cold water for a long
08:33time, made it extremely difficult for Richard to crawl ashore. The indescribable pain in his heart
08:39made Richard choke up even more. Richard had also thought about giving up. Clearing his name and
08:45catching the real killer was the only belief that kept Richard persevering in his escape. By now,
08:50Richard was exhausted. That night, Richard slept soundly in a pile of leaves, accompanied by
08:55nightmares. When Richard woke up, it was already morning. Richard had dyed his hair and bought a new set
09:01of clothes with the little money in the pocket of the patient's clothes. He had risked returning to
09:05his familiar city of Chicago. Richard decided to find out the truth himself. He immediately made a
09:11phone call to ask his lawyer for a loan. But the lawyer not only refused, but also advised Richard
09:16to turn himself in. So Richard could only hang up. The police had been monitoring the lawyer's phone
09:20from the beginning. Through meticulous analysis of the surrounding environmental sounds, they heard the
09:26sound of an elevated train. In that sound, there was coincidentally an announcement of the train
09:31station's location, which made the police realize Richard had returned to Chicago. With no other
09:36way out, Richard had to find his old colleague, Dr. Frederick, to ask for help. Richard's appearance,
09:41though it shocked Frederick, Frederick believed that Richard would not murder his wife.
09:46Richard planned to rent a basement to hide and secretly investigate with the money borrowed from
09:50Frederick. And the fact that Richard risked coming back also made Samuel begin to wonder if there
09:55really was a problem with this case. However, from the evidence the police currently had,
09:59they found no loopholes. To avoid tipping off their target, Chief Marshal Samuel ordered his men
10:05to secretly track Richard's whereabouts. As for Richard, to find out who the killer was,
10:10he came up with a plan, which was to start with the culprit's prosthetic arm. So he went to a renowned
10:15local orthopedic hospital. As a doctor, Richard was very familiar with the hospital's operating
10:20procedures. After familiarizing himself with the layout here, he snuck into the restroom and stole the ID
10:25card of a cleaning staff member. After returning home, Richard forged a name and pasted his photo
10:31on it. That evening, Richard brought the ID card to the orthopedic doctor's office. He used the excuse
10:37of cleaning and opened the computer right under the doctor's nose. There were over 100 patients with a
10:42prosthetic right arm alone. Richard used his memory to narrow down the killer's approximate age,
10:47and this meant that the killer was very likely among these five people. So Richard immediately printed
10:52out the information of these individuals. Under the cover of the cleaning sounds, Richard got the
10:57documents and left safely. Next, as long as he screened them one by one, perhaps he would soon
11:02find the killer and clarify the truth of the whole matter. Meanwhile, Samuel was not idle either. He went
11:08to Richard's old hospital to investigate his colleagues. Faced with police questioning, Dr. Frederick said he had
11:14indeed met Richard, but he would not provide any information about Richard to the police. Even other
11:19colleagues believed Richard was framed because Dr. Richard had always been gentle and friendly,
11:24so he could not possibly have murdered his wife. But Richard never expected that his hiding place
11:28would be found by the police so quickly. It was all because the landlord's son had been arrested by
11:33the police for dealing white powder, and he had accidentally learned at the police station that
11:37his tenant was a wanted fugitive. Samuel discovered that Richard had forged an identity, and this identity
11:43was related to the orthopedic hospital. He didn't understand what game Richard was playing until he
11:48discovered a disabled person at the orthopedic hospital. Then Samuel realized Richard was
11:52investigating his wife's case. Could it be that Richard was really framed, or was he deliberately
11:57trying to create a diversion? Richard, after getting the list, began to screen them. He pretended to be
12:02a hospital employee to conduct a follow-up interview. The first person was quickly eliminated because he
12:07had passed away. The second was in prison for armed robbery, and perhaps this person could be the
12:12killer Richard was looking for. To verify this, Richard planned to visit the inmate in prison.
12:17At this time, Samuel realized that Richard had forged an identity to get the list of patients
12:22with prosthetic arms, and that he would definitely visit those people. After cross-referencing with
12:27criminal records, they discovered one of these patients was in prison. Just as Richard stepped
12:31inside to prepare for the prison visit, he unexpectedly found Samuel had followed him here. Richard discovered
12:37this person was not the one he was looking for, because this person was a black man,
12:41and was clearly not the one. So Richard intended to leave immediately. For safety, Richard decided
12:47to take the stairs. But coincidentally, Samuel was also taking the stairs up. It turned out that
12:52Samuel had been waiting for the elevator in the lobby. But to not waste time, he decided to take
12:57the stairs himself first. Because it was a two-way staircase, the two met but did not cross paths.
13:02But that familiar figure immediately caught Samuel's attention. Instinct told Samuel that the person who
13:08just passed was the Richard he was looking for. And he discovered that this person was indeed
13:12Richard. Richard also spotted Samuel and quickly fled. The two chased each other from the stairwell
13:18to the first-floor lobby. To delay Samuel, Richard quickly lied to the security guard that the person
13:23chasing him had a gun. A bewildered Samuel had no idea what these security guards were doing until
13:28Samuel's subordinate showed his officer's badge. But Richard still rushed out at the last moment before
13:33the door closed. Samuel decisively chose to open fire, but unexpectedly, it was bulletproof glass.
13:40When Samuel and his team gave chase, Richard had already blended into a parade crowd and disappeared
13:45without a trace. This case once again attracted the media's attention. What was the motive behind
13:50Richard's risky move to return to Chicago and his visit to the prison today? At this point, Samuel also
13:56began to believe that Richard was truly innocent because no one would take such a huge risk to do
14:01something so foolish to the end. Richard continued to screen the next patient on the list, but it
14:06turned out this patient's phone number was unreachable. Richard had to risk sneaking into the patient's
14:11house. Through the photos, Richard immediately determined this person was the killer because his
14:16build and his eyes were extremely similar to the killer's, and the model of the prosthetic arm also
14:21matched. Unexpectedly, this person was a former police officer. Richard discovered some group photos in
14:27the killer's cabinet, and he also discovered an astonishing secret, which was that the killer
14:32knew Dr. Charles, who had hosted the party that night. Charles was the head of a pharmaceutical
14:37company, and they had established good relationships with doctors to sell their drugs. At this point,
14:42Richard finally understood the motive for his wife's murder. Because in one surgery, he had treated a
14:47patient with a lung infection. This patient was the one who had used the new drug developed by
14:52Charles's pharmaceutical company. They had lied that this drug could clear blood vessels,
14:56and was a future miracle drug. But it turned out the side effects of this drug were enough to kill
15:00a person. Initially, Richard had intended to report these findings. But unexpectedly, his wife was
15:06murdered. It was then that Richard realized the target was originally himself and the mastermind
15:11behind it was surely Dr. Charles from the pharmaceutical company. To expose this, Richard proactively
15:16called the police. He told Samuel that he was framed. After tracing the phone's address, the police
15:22immediately moved in to make an arrest. When the police arrived, Samuel realized Richard had
15:27deliberately lured the police here, while Richard himself had already left. Although he didn't
15:32understand Richard's meaning, the owner of the house was definitely related to this case.
15:36Faced with Samuel's questioning, the killer said he didn't know Richard and even claimed Richard was
15:41trying to frame him. The killer was a former police officer but retired after an arm injury and went to
15:46work at Charles's pharmaceutical company as the security director. However, the many doctors in
15:51the group photos caught Samuel's attention. Although Richard was not in them, he saw Dr. Frederick.
15:57Samuel left police there to monitor, while he himself went to find Dr. Frederick to inquire.
16:02Frederick said he did not know the killer at all, and the photo was just from attending a resort trip
16:07sponsored by them. Hearing this, Samuel could do nothing more. Frederick soon received a call from
16:12Richard. Richard told Frederick the whole truth. But Frederick told Richard that not long ago,
16:18Dr. Charles, the head of the pharmaceutical company, had died in a traffic accident.
16:22Richard was stunned to hear this. Could there be another hidden story here? But that was no longer
16:27important because now, obtaining evidence to clear his name was the key to the matter.
16:32Richard knew the hospital still kept clinical trial samples of Charles's new drug,
16:36so he used his personal reputation and got a portion from a colleague. The test results
16:40showed that all these samples came from normal livers, but were just cut into different pieces.
16:45This meant that the original samples sent were clearly swapped, so they could receive quality
16:49certification. This meant Richard's judgment was correct, and it was all Charles's doing.
16:54However, one of Richard's doctor colleagues discovered an anomaly because half of the quality
16:59certifications were signed after Charles had died. Combined with Charles's sudden traffic accident,
17:04Richard realized something was wrong here, and there was definitely another person behind all of this.
17:09However, Richard immediately realized who this person was. At this time, Richard still didn't know he
17:15was being followed by the killer. The killer tailed Richard all the way to the subway. When Richard
17:19realized it, he saw the situation was not good. However, the killer didn't know there was a patrol
17:24officer behind him. The officer noticed and was about to arrest him, but unexpectedly, the killer blocked
17:30the way. The killer realized this and had to deal with the officer first. Richard immediately pulled the
17:35train's emergency brake. Before the killer could react, he was suddenly attacked by Richard.
17:41Richard took the opportunity to snatch the killer's gun and then continuously struck him until he fell
17:45to the ground. To prevent the killer from escaping, Richard used the police officer's handcuffs to cuff
17:51him. Then, he quickly left the subway station because next, Richard was going to carry out his revenge
17:56plan. He went to Frederick's presentation, and at this moment, Dr. Frederick was introducing to
18:01everyone the so-called miracle drug. When he saw Richard, he was extremely stunned, and the people
18:06present also whispered at Richard's appearance. Richard immediately exposed Frederick's scam because
18:12Frederick had swapped the samples after Dr. Charles died. Frederick had a stake in the pharmaceutical
18:16company, and only when Charles was no longer alive did Frederick have the authority to approve this
18:22drug. Perhaps Charles's death was not an accident at all. At the same time, the police also chased
18:27them here. It was then that Richard understood it was all Frederick's doing. Seeing that he was
18:32exposed, Frederick had no choice but to flee. As Richard gave chase, Frederick chose to desperately
18:37attack Richard. The two quickly struggled with each other, wrestling from inside the room to the fire
18:42escape outside. Facing the real killer who had murdered his wife, Richard had no intention of letting
18:48Frederick go. During the struggle, the two fell through the glass ceiling of a freight elevator room
18:53and fell hard, knocking them both unconscious. As the elevator continued to descend, it stopped at the
18:59laundry room below. Frederick woke up first and quickly chose to run. Richard, after coming to his
19:04census, also hurriedly gave chase. Samuel and his team had also arrived, but unexpectedly, one of the
19:11officers was quickly attacked by Frederick. At this point, Samuel knew Richard was framed. He told Richard
19:16to come with him to the station, and he would clear his name. But hearing this, Frederick wanted to
19:21eliminate Samuel as well. Frederick pulled out the gun he took from the attacked officer and pointed it at
19:26Samuel. In the dangerous moment, luckily, Richard managed to intervene in time and save him. It wasn't
19:32until Frederick was beaten down and had no strength left to resist that Richard finally gave up his intention
19:38to escape. He told Samuel that Frederick was the one who murdered his wife. Samuel, having followed the entire
19:44process of Richard's search for the killer and revenge for his wife, would have seen the truth even if he
19:49were blind. Everything was over, and this case was also closed. Richard's clever escapability had
19:55truly exhausted Samuel. Finally, the killer and Frederick were arrested. From the killer's
20:00confession, the police learned that Frederick had borrowed Richard's car and copied Richard's house
20:04key. That was why the police found no signs of a break-in. Richard would also be taken to the police
20:09station to cooperate with the investigation. However, Samuel still helped him remove his handcuffs in the car
20:15and right in front of the media. Everyone had witnessed Richard's innocence. At this point,
20:20this mysterious case was finally cleared up. Today's story ends here.
