I thought this was going to have a journalistic slant to it, but it's better than that.

The underutilized Joe (or Joseph) Julian (he played the uncle who took the wandering nephew in to his business in the RMT's "The horror within") plays a mob guy who turned state's evidence on his former partner in crime after the two were nabbed in a botched robbery. The partner killed a police officer in the process. On his sentencing, the partner addresses Julian's character, saying that within a month (maybe less) after the partner fries in the electric chair Julian will also be killed, and confidently states that Julian will know precisely that the killing was done by his former partner's orders.

Now, the episode starts out with the two of them bantering back and forth, presumably in the hereafter. The partner keeps saying (paraphrased) "Now how did it go, Sam (Julian's character)?" Julian is despondent, so you know he didn't meet a good fate. However, as the story progresses we learn he was holed up in some hotel afraid for his life, and whenever he'd be talking to someone else (a barber, a locksmith, a former "business associate"), their voice would inevitably turn into the voice of his former partner who'd remind Julian that he wouldn't know WHO to trust in that final month after the partner was put to death.

Then again, we also learn that Julian's character's girlfriend feels very sorry for him, as he must be going crazy. The partner was put to death THREE YEARS AGO...
