The story goes on as Stephen makes one desperate attempt to get into his mother's house after another.

At first even his attempts to get the door opened to him failed.

Then we follow him to college, and eventually his attempt to get a job.

But there was no way, and his elaborate attempt got him nowhere.

One attempt on my life and I was getting all paranoid.

He said we would make one final attempt to get this worked out.

As on the previous day, his first attempt got no response at all.

More than seventeen hours after my first attempt to get home, I got into another taxi.

I make one last attempt to get her attention, but she turns away.

Any attempt to go out that way would get him shot before he even reached the door.
