Now six months, two weeks, and another thousand miles a fugitive, this is Richard Kimble. And this is how it is with him.
2. THE WITCH
Now ten months after his escape, take Richard Kimble, unjustly convicted of murder, put him down in the Missouri hills, a handyman, driving a truck for a local fuel and feed company. Once again, he has changed his identity: he has become Jim Fowler, a stranger in town.
This is Jim Fowler, about to die. He will last long enough to take the bus out of Hainesville, Missouri, and then a new identity must emerge, a new identity to hide the path of his flight, and the path of his search for the man whose crime has made Richard Kimble the Fugitive.
3. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN
West Virginia. What used to be a town, before the coal mine gave out. A naked relic now, without future, without hope. Another dreary point in time for Richard Kimble, eight months a fugitive.
Above the mountain, leaving it far below and behind him, Lieutenant Philip Gerard returns home without the man he had come to find and recapture. The other side of the mountain, of many mountains, a road twisting and turning into the future, without promise, without assurance for the man who must always go alone: Richard Kimble, fugitive.
4. NEVER WAVE GOOD-BYE 1
Santa Barbara, California, two hours up the coast from Los Angeles. A harbor town, a fishing town, an early mission town. To Richard Kimble, temporarily using the name Jeff Cooper, it has been a sanctuary. But a fugitive knows a sanctuary becomes a trap if he stays too long.
When a man of the law becomes a hunter, there can be no peace in his heart, no peace in his home.
The Hall of Justice, Los Angeles County -- courtroom, sheriff's headquarters, detective bureau, and the county jail. Even on a Saturday, it swarms with deputies. But on Saturdays come the families of prisoners, too. Richard Kimble has learned to be a face in the crowd.
Richard Kimble has seen the eyes of the hunter. He knows that for Gerard the chase will never end. But his bones ache from running and he needs the love of a girl. For sanctuary, he will risk a trap. For, in the long, long chase, he has lost everything but hope.
5. NEVER WAVE GOOD-BYE 2
A man cannot run forever. Two hours up the coast from Los Angeles, Richard Kimble has found himself a place he thinks is safe. Here in the early mission town of Santa Barbara, wearing the name Jeff Cooper, he has begun to put down roots. A man on the run must sooner or later become tied to a town, a look on the face of a girl, the touch of her eyes. But there may always be doubt. What has he left behind? A footprint? A careless word? A remembered image in the eye of a stranger? A match. What can they track him with? If he is tired of running, he will put the doubt aside.
The road north, the road east. For the moment, to Richard Kimble, it makes no difference. The road ends nowhere.
6. DECISION IN THE RING
Now eleven months a fugitive, Richard Kimble emerges from the blackness of hiding into the gray anonymity of another alias, Ray Miller. He thinks of the day when he might find the one-armed man. But for now, Los Angeles, California offers him temporary haven.
This was Ray Miller, cut man. Before that, James Lincoln, bartender. And how many weary lonely, heart-breaking identities before that? Only if he succeeds in discovering the man who made him an outcast, can he again be Richard Kimble.
7. SMOKE SCREEN
California, the Imperial Valley. Richard Kimble, now wearing the name Joseph Walker. Occupation: farm laborer. The California sun is hot. There is a strange antagonism in the eyes of the other workers. A hatred which he cannot fathom, but one which Richard Kimble tries to ignore in his effort to keep the secret of his identity.
There is no celebration for a fugitive. Richard Kimble moves on, his objective always the same: to find the man who alone can deliver him from execution.
8. SEE HOLLYWOOD AND DIE
Sierra Point, New Mexico. Resident population, 562. Transient population, one -- Richard Kimble, who now bears the name Al Fleming. It is now more than a year since the escape.
A city with ten million lights casts a hundred million shadows, each one only a passing refuge for a man on the run -- a man like the Fugitive.
9. TICKET TO ALASKA
The freighter Alaskan Star, six hours out of Seattle, Washington, carrying a crew of fourteen. Accommodations for twelve passengers, one of them Richard Kimble, now wearing the name Larry Talman. Destination: Alaska, the 49th state. Objective: to earn a large sum of money in a short period of time, and thus underwrite the next phase in the search for his wife's killer.
The Alaskan Star, two days out of Seattle, Washington, on the open sea. At 2:15 p.m., a radiogram is received, placing the freighter under the jurisdiction of the United States government.
Thirty-six hours to Ketchikan, Alaska. Thirty-six hours till the moment when Larry Talman will be turned over to the federal authorities.
Larry Talman can run no faster than the ship moves. Twelve hours to Ketchikan and the waiting federal authorities. In twelve hours, Larry Talman will be caught and, with him, Richard Kimble.
Larry Talman, freed from the suspicion of murder, leaves the Alaskan Star. But it is Richard Kimble, still under the sentence of death, that steps ashore. He will stay in this place as long as it is safe. Then he will move on. It is said there is no rest for the wicked -- nor, sometimes, for the innocent.
10. FATSO
A ride with a stranger, a friendly stranger. But a fugitive can't afford the luxury of friendship. He has to keep his thoughts to himself, weigh every word carefully. Drive carefully. Do everything carefully. From the moment you wake until you go to sleep at night -- if you have a place to sleep. One false move, one little quirk of fate...
How long before they know it's Kimble, not Carter? Twelve hours? Ten hours? Six hours?
A letter from an old friend. No return address, no name. A fugitive has to watch his step. Every step he takes, every hour, every minute, every second, any moves he makes might lead to death row. There's no way of knowing in advance. There's never any way of knowing.
11. NIGHTMARE AT NORTHOAK
This is Richard Kimble's recurring nightmare. And each time it ends, he wonders whether he will awaken to the same nightmare of reality.
Another city, another identity. Help Wanted. Help, but there is none. Richard Kimble must live with his past and his future. His only consolation: that somewhere, perhaps here, there is a one-armed man who has nightmares of him.
12. THE GLASS TIGHTROPE
It doesn't matter who you are or where. Every town, every city is just like the last. A way-point on an endless road that goes nowhere. A place to stop running, to think, to hide. Another job, another name. Is that enough? It has to be. It's all you've got.
They got the wrong man. That hits close to home -- remember? They wouldn't believe you either. Tough, but it's no concern of yours. You have to stay clear, stay out of it. You can't afford to take the chance. What is he? A stranger? A vagrant? A nothing? Just a name -- Arthur Tibbets -- no fixed address. Ask yourself, is he worth the risk?
When Martin Rowland accepted imprisonment for his crime, he set himself free from a prison of a guilty conscience and from a woman who had no conscience. Not so fortunate for Richard Kimble. His imprisonment remains unchanged.
13. TERROR AT HIGH POINT
The place: Utah, the hills above Salt Lake City. The project: to move a mountain. Giant machines and armies of men moving millions of tons of earth to make way for a river which one day will turn the desert into Eden. For Richard Kimble, the mountain offers protection. Here, he is Paul Beaumont, timekeeper, lost among the other workers. Here, he feels he can rest awhile. Here, he is safe.
Most men have some secret fear. Most manage to live with it, to walk in the world with others and live a quiet, normal life. For one man, that is impossible: Richard Kimble, fugitive.
14. THE GIRL FROM LITTLE EGYPT
[No prolog.]
The outbound bus for from San Francisco -- destination: known. George Browning -- destination: unknown. His only companion: hope. Hope for the day when he can once again become Richard Kimble.
15. HOME IS THE HUNTED
Always there is the hunter, the hunted, and the trap. Traps are of many kinds: of wind, of steel, of words. But this time the trap is a city. Dr. Richard Kimble, two years a fugitive, is about to enter the trap. Why is Stafford, Indiana, a trap for Richard Kimble? Because, here, a thousand people know him. This city is where Richard Kimble lived for thirty-three years. This is the neighborhood Richard Kimble knew as a child. Here is the house in which he grew up, now in time of desperate trouble for him, a starting place within a city of danger -- a city of danger because, here, is also the headquarters of Lieutenant Philip Gerard.
Home is the sailor, home from the sea. And the hunter, home from the hill. But for Richard Kimble, not yet. Not yet.
16. THE GARDEN HOUSE
Connecticut: green trees framing the homes of the wealthy and the near wealthy, gracious living with roots deep in the past -- and, without roots, interstate fugitive, Richard Kimble.
Tomorrow, the Westborne Clarion will have a new editor. One of the paper's first editorials will be a plea for innocent men pursued by the Furies -- men such as Richard Kimble, the Fugitive.
17. COME WATCH ME DIE
Nebraska: a world of wheat -- dirt roads all open to the sky, but still a silent sky. Richard Kimble has found a temporary refuge in the remote farming community of Black Moccasin. And, even here, there are questions.
A walk toward the horizon. A hope that it will lead to the man with one arm. Only then will the search be over for the Fugitive.
18. WHERE THE ACTION IS
Reno: "the biggest little city in the world". A town for all seasons, a town for all tastes. Dude ranch, divorce, or dice -- take your pick. For every purse, for every age, Reno has something for everyone. For Richard Kimble, fugitive, another name, another job.
Some six hundred passengers will depart the Reno airport today. Some are flying on business, some for pleasure, some for urgent personal reasons. One man, as always, is flying for his life: Richard Kimble, fugitive.
19. SEARCH IN A WINDY CITY
Chicago. Richard Kimble has come a thousand miles on hope and the slimmest of clues in his hunt for the one-armed man. But ten days have passed and now hope has turned to despair. For, in a city of millions, how does a fugitive go about finding a phantom?
In the deadly game of hide and seek, Richard Kimble has only one rule for survival: be suspicious of everyone. Is it coincidence that three strangers should suddenly appear at the place of his rendezvous with Decker? Or are they just strangers? Richard Kimble's rule for survival: be suspicious of everyone. But sometimes strangers are only what they seem. And now, the imagined threat is gone -- and, with it, Mike Decker.
Now many months a fugitive, Richard Kimble walks the night again -- but no longer in despair that he is hunting only a phantom. He has seen the one-armed man, and it has given him hope. Somewhere, sometime, they will meet again.
20. BLOODLINE
[Kimble talks to a dog: "No more running today, huh?"] For you, either, if your name is Kimble. No more running today, or perhaps tomorrow, or maybe a few weeks, with luck. You've found yourself a place to rest. Another name, another job. Your name, Dick Lindsay. Your job, handyman at the Bodin Russet Kennels. ... Bodin Russet Kennels: for thirty years breeding America's finest Irish setters. Prize-winning animals, closely guarded. Protected from the outside world by lock and key. For what reason, then, would a member of the Bodin family take Colleen, one of the kennels' most valued animals, and deliberately turn her loose in a field to run away? Why?
You took a chance for someone and it worked out for him. Someday, perhaps, it will work out for you -- somewhere in some far off city, at some far off time. But this is now and you are still running. You are a fugitive.
21. RAT IN A CORNER
Countless weeks and months of running, endless running, endless searching for the man with one arm, pausing only for a job like this to stay alive. Richard Kimble, fugitive: Dan Crowley, clerk.
Somewhere, a destination for this truck. But for Richard Kimble, no destiny. And, even asleep, there are shadows, shadows that haunt a man on the run -- a fugitive.
22. ANGELS TRAVEL ON LONELY ROADS 1
A "miracle" is defined as an effect on the physical world which surpasses all known human powers. For Richard Kimble, however, this has become a world of stark realities, a world where life is lived in inches -- each one possibly the last.
Two fugitives: one who has lost faith in her strength to cross a mountain, the other who must cross it in order to live. Sister Veronica turns to Richard Kimble for help. But the road is long and the mountain is high.
23. ANGELS TRAVEL ON LONELY ROADS 2
Richard Kimble, alias Nick Walker, had called it "a car looking for a quiet place to die..." But this ancient vehicle, held together by faith and rusty wire, has come halfway across the mountains carrying two fugitives: Sister Veronica, a fugitive from God on her way to Sacramento to renounce her vows; and Richard Kimble, fugitive from injustice, now wearing the name Nick Walker, borrowed from a wallet which he had found in Lincoln City. Two fugitives, moving through a dragnet which straddles two states, one unaware that the other is the object of an intensive manhunt.
Two fugitives: one having found a resting place, the other continuing to step off his inches on the scale of life. For him, the future will be no less precarious. But, somehow, he won't feel quite so alone.
24.FLIGHT FROM THE FINAL DEMON
Richard Kimble's hands once eased the pain, ministered the illness, even saved the lives of countless children. Now the hands are as fugitive as the man to whom they belong.
For almost two years, Richard Kimble has lived the life of a fugitive. How many times in his despair has he thought he would gladly trade places with any man on earth. Now, Richard Kimble knows: any man, except one.
25. TAPS FOR A DEAD WAR
These have been desperate months for Richard Kimble, running in fear. Someday, somewhere, someone will recognize him. Who? When? That's what he lives with.
For Richard Kimble, it must always be this way. Until he finds the man with one arm, the one man in the world who can help him walk in the light again, Richard Kimble must find his way in the dark -- a fugitive.
26. SOMEBODY TO REMEMBER
For Richard Kimble, a thousand names, a thousand jobs. Here, he is Johnny Sherman, warehouse worker, and as always for a fugitive, the load is a heavy one.
The past two years have been an endless procession of names, most of them forgotten. But one name will be remembered. For a fugitive is a lonely man, and Gus Priamos has been a friend.
27. NEVER STOP RUNNING
Never in one place too long. That's the first rule for a fugitive. Always keep running, always with the nightmare fear that one day the chase will catch up with him. One day. Perhaps now.
Another path, another road. Roads that twist and wind and lead nowhere. Richard Kimble, fugitive.
28. THE HOMECOMING
The Pruitt family home, Tidewater, south Georgia. In antebellum years, a home graced by gracious women. And even after cotton was no longer king, the Pruitt women were gentle and well-bred. Richard Kimble, fugitive, pauses here in his endless flight. For as long as he dares, he will be David Benton, research technician.
Someday, someday, Richard Kimble will be settled, when he can take his own name again, when he finds the man who killed his wife. Until then, he must be what he is now: a fugitive.
29. STORM CENTER
Webers Landing, Florida. A thousand miles from the state prison where Richard Kimble was scheduled to die. Tonight, it will seem closer.
A long night for Richard Kimble. But, for a fugitive, the nights are always the longest.
30. THE END GAME
[A camera.] This is the instrument and this is its operator. The subject: newlyweds and a day to remember, always. ... This is the Fugitive, and as fate would have it, he is the target. And this is the sound [the camera's shutter] like that of a trigger, of a trap. ... This is the picture which Vanity, not Fate, discards. ... But fate is not finished with Richard Kimble: it is only a matter of time and place. This is the place. And, with the common ordinary act of a man buying cigarettes, now is the time. And Fate is swift and sure.
Another day. But for the hunted, instinct becomes habit and the habit to obey is to avoid habit. Today, Richard Kimble's route to work will be Fifth, not Seventh, Street.
A matter of time. Midnight. Two hours until the safety of his room.
The end game he has won. But for how long? Another night and another road, and still the deadly game goes on. And so must he. North, south, east, west. A man alone. The Fugitive.
Another town, another name. The search continues. And Richard Kimble now knows beyond any doubt that it must continue. There is no resting place for a fugitive.
32. WORLD'S END
Another dreary town, another shabby street. Another weary pause on Richard Kimble's search for the man with one arm, his only real hope for escaping a life of fear. [Kimble reads a newspaper.] No front page. Richard Kimble turns directly to the classified section. Here are the things that really matter. A room. A job. A way to stay alive. But tonight, something else: "Personal to R.K. Have information regarding September 17th. Phone me at home. Urgent. E.B." September 17th was the night Richard Kimble's wife was murdered.
Where will Richard Kimble go? Wherever the bus is going. Wherever the Fates will take him. Wherever there is hope of finding the one-armed man. And now, once again, there is that hope.
33. MAN ON A STRING
The road is endless for Richard Kimble. Endless, uncertain.
Always new people, always new places. Only one thing is constant for Richard Kimble: at the end, there is always the road. Richard Kimble is a fugitive.
34. WHEN THE BOUGH BREAKS
Grand Forks, North Dakota. It is twenty-six months since the escape, and still another city has become a blind alley for Richard Kimble. The man with one arm, the author of the crime for which Kimble was to die, remains elusive -- and, again, it is time to move on.
Another town with its thousand faces. Examine them well, for somewhere among them tonight, tomorrow, next week, will be one face that will tighten in recognition. And for a fugitive, the running will begin again.
35. NEMESIS
A trout hatchery, high in the mountains -- made to order for Richard Kimble, fugitive -- far off the main road. A lonely job. Too lonely for most men.
For Richard Kimble, another shabby room, another lonely night, another reaching out to touch someone he has met along the way. That is it how it is. That is how it must remain. Richard Kimble is a fugitive.
36. TIGER LEFT, TIGER RIGHT
Those who run need sanctuary, a time and a place to catch their breath and plan ahead. On the estate of a wealthy couple, Richard Kimble has found his temporary haven.
The life of a fugitive is seldom downhill. Richard Kimble moves on, the hunter and the hunted, free now to continue his search.
37. TUG OF WAR
The farm hand who likes his work lives a wholesome, uncomplicated life -- unless he is Richard Kimble, fugitive. The quiet country road is a road to danger, the peaceful village or farm, a potential trap.
How much farther must a fugitive go before he can stop and rest? North or east, west or south, one direction is as good or bad as another, if you're Richard Kimble, fugitive.
38. DARK CORNER
You travel at night if you're on the run. The dark is a shield against curious eyes, against questions, against talk. Haunted by what lies behind. As always, fearful of what lies ahead.
Richard Kimble still travels in the dark, waiting, hoping for the day when he can prove his innocence. Until then, it must remain night for him. Until then, Richard Kimble must be what he is: a fugitive.
39. ESCAPE INTO BLACKNESS
Another stopping place at the end of another road. If your name is Richard Kimble, you're guilty of escape and flight. You have no future unless you can find the past: the night of September 17th, two years ago. You saw the man who killed your wife that night. The face was there for only a moment but you'll never forget it. And you keep looking. Today, a truck driver mentions a one-armed man in Decatur. The description fits.
Some will believe him, some will not. Some will change their beliefs. But most importantly, he again believes in himself. He again has the will to run. And, for a fugitive, this instinct is survival.
40. THE CAGE
Little fishing villages that dot the coastline are like the sea that sustain them: capricious, sometimes cordial, sometimes angry, dangerous. Tonight, the village of Puerto Viejo will be festive. Handyman Jeff Parker rooms in the warehouse loft. He's had a pleasant month here but he's made no commitments -- for it's only a matter of time before he has to move on. Parker is a fugitive.
Far ahead in the distance and time lies a harbor of many names: Safety, Love, Security, Peace. Meantime, the only haven for Richard Kimble is to move, and remain a fugitive.
41. CRY UNCLE
After a while, one town is much like any other. And even a man running from the law must pause occasionally for the routine of everyday life. But, for Richard Kimble, everyday life is anything but routine.
For Richard Kimble, there is still no end to his flight. It could come tomorrow or next year -- or never. But tonight, Richard Kimble is almost content -- for having found a home, and an end to running, for another fugitive.
42. DETOUR ON A ROAD GOING NOWHERE
Never chase a thief -- not if your own fear of capture is probably greater than his. Even in the fashionable remoteness of Indian Lake Lodge, that fear haunts this clerk who calls himself Stu Manning. At other times, Richard Kimble might have enjoyed vacationing here. But there is no vacation for a fugitive.
The difference between good and bad, between love and hate, is often elusive. The difference between life and death, for Richard Kimble, is always simply his freedom to remain a fugitive.
43. THE IRON MAIDEN
Here in southern Nevada, man is changing the bleak face of nature. With his machinery, he is carving a shaft deep into the unriveting rock and sand. A missile launching silo. When the job is finished, the Air Force will take over. But, for now, it is a civilian crew that tunnels under the desert crust -- a crew of deep and abiding loyalties. One of its newest members: a fugitive, Richard Kimble, working now as laborer and first aid man. The name he has taken: Parker.
Richard Kimble eats alone. For him, all roads are lonely, all seasons dangerous. Until the day when he can prove his innocence, Richard Kimble must remain a fugitive.
44. DEVIL'S CARNIVAL
There is a man who must keep moving -- pursuing, pursued. He is not a man of solitude but often the friendless, open road is his only alternative to death by execution. Richard Kimble. He travels a lot by thumb, makes many a long, lonely hike between rides.
The things a fugitive turns away from are sometimes evil, sometimes good -- and difficult to leave. Everything left behind is dangerous. There is no safety for him anywhere. But, if he can keep moving, there is hope.
45. BALLAD FOR A GHOST
At a job several miles south of Salisbury, Ohio, Richard Kimble, wearing the name Pete Glenn, grows restless now. He's worked here two months, long enough in one place -- perhaps too long. Time to move on.
A chance meeting. A thousand ghosts are stirred. And a fugitive wonders how long before they'll be at rest.
46. BRASS RING
The southern coast of California, where the land ends and an amusement pier juts out into the sea. A place where strangers meet, where a new face is not suspect. The fingerprints are still Dr. Kimble's but the name is now Ben Horton.
Save up a lot of loneliness and you're out to spend it somewhere. This time, on a lonely pier, livened only by the sound of an ancient calliope. And a brass ring caught by a fugitive will only give him another brief ride to nowhere.
47. THE END IS BUT THE BEGINNING
A man who has to run to survive finds respite sometimes in desolate places. For the moment, this man is Steve Younger -- for the moment, a truck driver. Yet today, within the hour, Steve Younger has a rendezvous with death.
The rendezvous with death has been kept. A man burned beyond recognition will be buried and, with him, Steve Younger. And with Steve Younger, Richard Kimble. If, if Lieutenant Gerard can be made to discover that Steve Younger and Richard Kimble are one and the same man.
Now indeed, Steve Younger is dead. But the thin thread which binds Richard Kimble winds back into the fingers of Lieutenant Philip Gerard, who will follow it, and cut it, if he can.
48. NICEST FELLA YOU'D EVER WANT TO MEET
Bixton, Arizona. Small, quiet. For some, a good place to live. But for Richard Kimble, fugitive, it's only a stopover between rides -- a stopover he will not soon forget.
In the aftermath of violence, there must always come a moment of peace, a time for healing and a time to restore the delicate balance of life versus death. But, for a fugitive, there can be no moment of peace. He must travel the road of the hunted. And, for Richard Kimble, that road apparently has no end.
49. FUN AND GAMES AND PARTY FAVORS
Two years ago, this man was Richard Kimble, doctor of medicine. Today, he is Douglas Beckett, employed in the hills above Los Angeles. He is a trusted chauffeur and gateman. He is also still a fugitive.
The world in which young people get married and share love and build dreams is a thousand miles from the world in which Richard Kimble walks: the world of pursuit and fear, the world of a fugitive.
50. SCAPEGOAT
The name on the time card is Hayes. A name is easily changed, dropped and forgotten. Every identity Richard Kimble has borrowed has vanished for good when he moved on.
He will use many other names and move through many other places searching for Richard Kimble, dreading each backward look as long as he must remain a fugitive.
51. CORNER OF HELL
A man on the run, convicted on circumstantial evidence of a murder he did not commit, calling himself Paul Hunter, driving relief for InterSouth Freight. This is his first trip. It is to be his last. He's only a few miles away from a grim encounter with truth and irony.
It is a never-ending pattern: buy a ticket, catch a bus, east or north, south or west. Destination: Anytown. This time, maybe he'll be there, the man with one arm -- and, for Richard Kimble, the never-ending pattern will be ended.
52. MOON CHILD
Enter a town for the first time and, if you're a fugitive, you will try to determine where the danger is. Most often, it will come from the police -- but not always.
The night is over. The town that held a gun to Kimble's head is many miles behind, already becoming a part of the dizzying procession of towns through which a fugitive must pass, searching for the man who can mean his salvation.
53. THE SURVIVORS
This is where it began -- Fairgreen, Indiana. Here, ten years ago at the county hospital, Richard Kimble completed his internship. Here, he met a nurse named Helen Waverly and here, they resolved to get married. Now, he's come back to a town where people have reason to remember him -- perhaps some more than others.
A man tries to arm himself against the lonely night, for he knows that at this time and place, there can be no homecoming for a fugitive.
54. EVERYBODY GETS HIT IN THE MOUTH SOMETIME
The road of escape has led Richard Kimble to a new sanctuary. The work: dispatcher for Bullet Trucking Company. No questions asked, no references required. A good job for a fugitive.
Justice can be delivered by a final act of violence. Or it can be elusive and taunting, as it has become for Richard Kimble. For hi, justice hides around the next bend in the road, beyond the next mountain, on the bus that is just pulling out. Somewhere, sometime, he will find it, and so he moves on.
55. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY
A man on the run assumes many identities, each one reflecting in some way the life he has left behind. Thus, Dr. Richard Kimble, now known as Harry Reynolds, works as an orderly in a Michigan hospital. Once a respected pediatrician, he finds a hint of security in the familiar hospital routine. But no man, not even a convicted murderer, can completely abandon his past, nor can his past abandon him.
The death sentence comes in many forms, affecting each man in a different way. For some, it means an end to pain. For others, it becomes a challenge to live. For Richard Kimble, the challenge is repeated with every new turn of the road.
56.MASQUERADE
If you are a fugitive, you travel a lot, most often by hitching a ride with a stranger. And, always, you ask yourself: Who is he? What kind of man hides behind that face?
For a man named Blackburn, justice will be done. But for Richard Kimble, that day has not yet come. And so he moves on, searching.
57. RUNNER IN THE DARK
No job for Richard Kimble is anything more than a means to an end: survival. The dignity of his profession is a memory -- and a hope. He can never know what unexpected shift of fate will send him running again, perhaps in pursuit of the one-armed man, perhaps in flight for his life.
Free once again, with the rootless freedom of the hunted, anonymous in a world in which he must dread the sound of his own name, Richard Kimble continues running, searching -- a fugitive.
58. A.P.B.
One community appears much like any other to a man who travels a lot. To Richard Kimble, fugitive, some are friendlier than others, some are more colorful. But they all have one thing in common: danger.
As a doctor, Richard Kimble was sworn to the preservation of human life. Now, years later, as he travels the lonely path from city to city and state to state, the life he is searching to save is his own.
59. THE OLD MAN PICKED A LEMON
Encinas County, California. For the common laborer, a haven of perpetual harvest. For Richard Kimble, a sanctuary. But here on this fertile land, where the miracle of life stands in rich abundance, Kimble has watched the hand of Death reach out and twist Fate to its own purpose.
Death brings with it a jolting shock of reality. No man can live or die in this world without in some way affecting the lives of others. Richard Kimble flees the aftermath of tragedy, a tragedy of which he was not the maker, of which he will share the guilt. This is the burden of a fugitive.
60. LAST SECOND OF A BIG DREAM
Fifty-five miles outside of Lincoln, Nebraska, wild animals in cages bring the curious to Major Alan Fielding's Jungleland. Richard Kimble, wearing the name Nick Peters, has found work here. The job began this morning. It is destined to end tonight.
One man's dream ends, while another man's nightmare merely continues. Richard Kimble is free. He has room -- for tonight.
When a man is on the run, every stranger is a potential enemy, every friend a surprise. For Richard Kimble, the only real friend is the darkness and the road that has no end.
62. MIDDLE OF A HEAT WAVE
Lake City, New York. A roadhouse hideaway outside of town. Music, a few drinks, and sometimes a momentary escape into a private world for just two people. For Richard Kimble, escape is always momentary, and two people are one too many in a private world already crowded with pursuers.
Another place, another memory to follow him, another escape through the night. Always the way of a fugitive.
63. CRACK IN A CRYSTAL BALL
A highway has a life of its own. Each car brings a new face. And for Richard Kimble, working now in a Midwestern gas station, the next might be the face of danger.
An anonymous room, another town. For Richard Kimble, the day has ended. But there's little time to rest. Tomorrow, his search continues.
64. TRIAL BY FIRE
Occasionally, a fugitive must make contact with reality to escape the loneliness of flight, to preserve his sanity. For Richard Kimble, contact with reality consists of an occasional telephone conversation with his sister. Tonight's call, however, could mean a great deal more.
In Stafford, a man has worked through until morning preparing to set in motion the ponderous machinery of the law. In Chicago, another man continues the pursuit begun so long ago.
A witness has seen the one-armed man. Richard Kimble has had confirmed what he had almost begun to doubt himself. And a phantom seen by two men can be seen again.
65. CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE
High Desert Inn. Sixty-two miles from the town of Reeseburg, Arizona. It's a vacation spot for the very rich. Tycoons and statesmen come to spend long weekends here, relaxing incommunicado. For one man, depleted by the terrible pace of running for his life, it is a vital oasis, a needed place to pause and recoup his energy -- and hope.
All secrets are safe with this man because none is as deadly to him as his own. His secret is that he is Richard Kimble.
66. THREE CHEERS FOR LITTLE BOY BLUE
He used to be a doctor of medicine. He's a chauffeur now, driving his employer home to the small Midwestern town where he was born. Home -- for the man at the wheel, it is only a word, because there is no home for him. Not now, because he's Richard Kimble, a fugitive.
Darkness and silence and flight into fear. Richard Kimble has made this journey before. He will make it again. Until he proves his innocence, he remains a fugitive.
67. ALL THE SCARED RABBITS
The ad in the newspaper reads Wanted: Someone to drive. For a fugitive anxious to move on, it is apparently an ideal answer. Apparently.
For a few moments Richard Kimble became a doctor again, and memories were stirred of another time and another world. But this is now. And he is again a fugitive searching for the end of a perilous road.
68. AN APPLE A DAY
Briar County, Colorado, where a man runs in desperation before the guns and dogs of a sheriff's posse closing in for the kill. A move in the wrong direction, a broken stride, a waste of precious seconds in looking back -- these are what can cost Richard Kimble his life.
Richard Kimble moves on again, searching for the day when there will be an end to running.
69. LANDSCAPE WITH RUNNING FIGURES 1
There is a point beyond which a man cannot push himself, a final defeat of the spirit that cannot be overcome. If it is to end for the running man, this is the way it will be. It is two a.m. in the city, and Richard Kimble, doctor of medicine, moves to the start of another working day. To those with no past and little future, the city only offers the most menial of labors, those designed to provide nothing more than day-to-day survival. But to Richard Kimble, kitchen helper in an all-night diner, survival for even a day has come to be enough.
In the city, the search for Richard Kimble goes on. But it is one more grim appointment that he will not keep. The relentless steel jaws will close on an empty trap. But for Richard Kimble, the Fates are preparing another appointment, at another time, at another place.
70. LANDSCAPE WITH RUNNING FIGURES 2
A police dragnet, a bus accident, and an ironic fate have brought together two people on a lonely country road. The woman, blinded in the accident, is unaware that the man beside her is Richard Kimble. And neither is aware that the other is fleeing from the obsession of Lieutenant Philip Gerard, hunter of the man, husband of the woman.
For a brief moment, time also stopped for Richard Kimble -- and for a while it had been good to be able to stop and look back and find that there was something there. But now it is over. For the Fugitive, time has started again.
71. SET FIRE TO A STRAW MAN
Tractor, New Jersey -- a small industrial town where a passerby has summoned the police to a mugging in a dirty alley. But this senseless beating is about to take on far more significance to a man not even witness to it -- a man named Richard Kimble.
For each of us, there is an occasional moment of fantasy, a search for a straw man of our own. But Richard Kimble can only hope that the memory of a face caught once in the glare of headlights is made of something other than straw.
72. STRANGER IN THE MIRROR
For every acquaintance he makes, a man reveals a different face, a different identity. To the people of this Midwestern city, this man is John Evans, itinerant laborer. To those who know him better, he is Dr. Richard Kimble, fugitive.
A man with a dozen names, a dozen identities but none that he can claim as his own. Richard Kimble moves on, in search of justice and the elusive privilege of answering to his right name.
73. THE GOOD GUYS AND THE BAD GUYS
In a civilized society, a network of laws protects man against his own brutality. But for Richard Kimble, living outside the law, the civilized world has become a jungle. His only protection is his animal instinct, his will to survive. But always there is the hunter, even in Drover City, Montana.
Some men break the law. Others are broken by it. But Richard Kimble continues his endless quest, pursued by the law he respects, a fugitive from the justice he seeks.
74. END OF THE LINE
A man's image can be shaped by society's opinion of him. A fugitive must ask himself then, how long can a running man hold out against that opinion? How many miles, how many accusations before he becomes what society has labeled him?
How do you measure the difference in thieves? By the amount stolen? In the conscience of Dr. Richard Kimble there is little difference between the thief on the train and himself. It will be a long time before he forgets that face.
Some people run for exercise, some are professionals chasing a record -- and still others run to live. Theirs is the longest race -- if they can last until tomorrow, their reward is one more day of running.
75. WHEN THE WIND BLOWS
For a fugitive, there is no rest from the past and no safety in the present. Even here, in the remote village of Small Groves, Wyoming, the most ordinary day may explode in his face. Rumors that Richard Kimble had been seen in the city of Casper have been relayed to every law enforcement agency in this corner of the state.
For Richard Kimble, there is no sanctuary from the night wind. There is no cave in which to hide. But, occasionally, along the road, a fugitive will find a hand extended in trust, and the night wind will not seem so cold.
76. NOT WITH A WHIMPER
No matter how far a man may run, he cannot escape the emotional ties that bind him to his past. So Richard Kimble finds himself drawn to the factory town of Hempstead Mills. The reason: the chance of a small item in the local newspaper.
Richard Kimble, fugitive, on a brief visit to a dead past, is now once more in search of a future.
77. WIFE KILLER
A fugitive is usually a man without a goal, aimlessly fleeing the Furies that pursue him. But for Richard Kimble, there is a goal: a phantom who has himself become a fugitive. And Richard Kimble, in turn, now becomes the hunter. But another hunter is also on the move.
And Richard Kimble waits, not yet aware that his hope for salvation has again disappeared, waits to be reminded by Lieutenant Philip Gerard that he is still as much a fugitive as before.
78. THIS'LL KILL YOU
The days of a fugitive run together as one, the fear and desperation unrelieved by the sounds of laughter. But Richard Kimble, now using the name Nick Philips, will find that a man may laugh only to escape the terror of silence.
One man dies and another survives for at least another day. For one, the sound of laughter has faded. For another, the echo of that sound remains. Richard Kimble's lonely flight continues. But now, perhaps, he will find an occasional moment to remember and smile.
79. ECHO OF A NIGHTMARE
As a doctor, he had dedicated himself to the preservation of life. Now a fugitive, the life he must preserve is his own. Richard Kimble's safety depends on knowing where the enemy is -- and who.
All men run the risk of being chained to their past. For Richard Kimble, that bondage is stronger than the steel which hangs from his wrist. And so, he moves on, searching, knowing that for him, now there can be no freedom.
80. STROKE OF GENIUS
For many men, life is a ceaseless flight: each moment of each day must be escaped by fleeing somehow, somewhere, without rest, until one day, all hope dies, even the hope of further flight. Perhaps for such men, death comes as a final and all obliterating act of kindness: after a lifetime of nightmarish flight, an eternity of dreamless rest. But for Richard Kimble, there is no rest. Not free to live, he is also denied the freedom of death.
For Richard Kimble, the truth that will free him lies somewhere ahead, over the next horizon, beyond the next town, in another place, at another time.
81. SHADOW OF THE SWAN
A carnival can be a place of fun and games or the funhouse mirrors a reflection of man's uglier side. If you happen to be Richard Kimble, it can simply be another lonely street where the laughter belongs to someone else.
The carnival has moved on, and so, too, has Richard Kimble. The carnival moves north, taking its rag bag of noise and excitement to another town, searching for the crowds that are its life. And Richard Kimble, a fugitive still, searches for the one man who can mean his life.
82. RUNNING SCARED
A man on the run may manage to elude the law, but his yesterdays follow him like an ever-lengthening shadow. For some, the shadow of the past is an object of fear. But for Richard Kimble, it's a form of security. His memories are a bulwark against hopelessness and despair. When the memories falter, so does Kimble.
Without a past, a man has no future. For Richard Kimble, his memories are the source of his courage. They give him the strength to face another uncertain tomorrow.
83. THE CHINESE SUNSET
The Chinese Sunset Motel, situated on a tarnished hyphen called the Sunset Strip that separates Los Angeles from Beverly Hills. For Richard Kimble, working as a man of all jobs under the alias Jack Fickett, it is a welcome bit of limbo.
A fleeting moment, to laugh, to be warmed, to contemplate what could have been. An hour ago, he was Jack Fickett. Now he must find a new name, a new place. A man who must lose himself in order that, someday, he might find himself. Richard Kimble, fugitive.
84. ILL WIND
The work is hard, to be endured from day to day, but here, just twenty miles north of the Gulf of Mexico, Richard Kimble has found reason to gain a new foothold on life, his first in a very long time.
The storm has come and gone but few of those who sought shelter together that night will forget it. And Richard Kimble, the next hill now in his eye, will find occasions to look back and remember -- a fugitive has time for that.
85. WITH STRINGS ATTACHED
The life of an artist is a restless, lonely one, without peace -- like a man pursued, finding peace and rest only when he has created something of beauty. But then, after that, he is forced into flight again, and he moves once more into the unknown, searching. For Richard Kimble, a fugitive, there is also only pursuit and a lonely searching. Moments of beauty, even moments of rest, are rare, because for him, as for the artist, to stand still is to die.
Some men can never be free. From birth, they are their own jailers. They are their own prisons, They are trapped by their own talents. For Richard Kimble, a fugitive, freedom is flight. For flight brings hope, and with hope there is always tomorrow.
86. THE WHITE KNIGHT
Quick reflexes are necessary to a doctor. They are indispensable to a fugitive. For Richard Kimble, who is both doctor and fugitive, they can mean survival.
In the storybooks when you save a man's life, you are richly rewarded. For a fugitive, it doesn't always work that way. And sometimes, when you are chased by the Furies, the life you must save is your own.
87. THE 2130
If you are Richard Kimble, you lead a complicated life. However, certain decisions are simple: when the police start getting involved, you don't wait around to see what happens.
If you are Richard Kimble, fugitive, your already complicated life has become more so. You can no longer rely upon your instinct, because for all you know, your pursuers may be machines... and you are merely a human being.
88. A TASTE OF TOMORROW
To a fugitive, only the past is real. Each morning, it rises with the sun. Each night, it returns with the darkness. There is no present. And, for Richard Kimble, the future is filled with uncertainty and fear.
For some, an end finally comes to the running. But, for Richard Kimble, the end has come only to one more day. And the running must go on.
89. IN A PLAIN PAPER WRAPPER
A target may be paper, an animal, or a man. To a gun it makes no difference, nor does it care who pulls the trigger or why. To Richard Kimble, a fugitive, guns are a familiar enemy, for he is always a target, a target for which the law has issued a mandate -- if necessary, shoot to kill.
Love needs time to grow. And a hunted man has no time. Yesterday, a need that found hope in a look, a word, a touching of hands, is today denied by flight, a flight from guns. Today's guns are already miles behind -- but the need remains.
90. CORALEE
A derrick barge used for underwater salvage work off the coast of California. Richard Kimble has taken the name Tony Carter and unknowingly taken the hand of trouble.
The highway north carries a fugitive to freedom, a freedom shadowed by his own special jinx. He cannot look back now. He can only look ahead to the day when that jinx will ultimately be broken.
For Richard Kimble, a border is a dark tunnel whose other end might lead to the final encounter with the many-faced enemy. But, for the moment, it leads to safety.
92. DEATH IS THE DOOR PRIZE
For a fugitive, there must be wariness in even the simplest chore: an extra sense, sharpened by the two-fold chase -- the fugitive hunted and the fugitive hunting.
A fugitive moves on, through anguished tunnels of time, down dim streets, into dark corners. And each new day offers fear and frustration, tastes of honey and hemlock. But if there is a hazard, there is also hope.
93. A CLEAN AND QUIET TOWN
A man on the run comes to expect neither justice nor mercy. Every hand is against him; every face turns away from his pain. In such moments, the thread of hope, of life itself, stretches to the breaking point.
A man on the run must never stop. After every fall he must get up, push on toward the same elusive goal, a goal so close at times as to be only a heartbreak away.
94. THE SHARP EDGE OF CHIVALRY
A big city. A jungle of anonymity where nobody looks too close and everyone is locked in with his own big problem. A hiding place for a man who, for the moment, calls himself Carl Baker.
One man is still the hunter. And the other is still the fugitive.
95. TEN THOUSAND PIECES OF SILVER
At dawn, he rises to labor through the sunlight hours. His hands, skilled enough for a surgeon's knife, are forced to cruder tasks, tasks no longer of his own choosing. Not even his name is his own.
A fugitive gets his fill of goodbyes, of loyalties borne and discarded, yet not discarded. For the fugitive game is a lonely game, with only two players to see it through, a game that would seem without end.
96. JOSHUA'S KINGDOM
A fugitive is like a long distance runner, with a difference: a fugitive's distance is infinity. Infinity is a long, impossibly long, way away, and there must be time for the hunted to rest, to gather strength to move once again.
Richard Kimble, both the hunted and the hunter. The truth that will free him is somewhere ahead. He'll find it.
97. SECOND SIGHT
For a fugitive to survive, he must rely entirely on his senses. Richard Kimble has survived because his senses have become exceptional. The world is his jungle and the tiger he stalks is a man with one arm. From Kimble's years in this jungle, he has learned to miss nothing and to react quickly, as one must in a jungle.
And so Richard Kimble, fugitive, is back in the jungle again where, as always, he must be the prey of others, until the day where once more he can become the hunter.
98. WINE IS A TRAITOR
For a fugitive, the offer of help -- some simple, decent act of kindness -- must be rejected. There are no relationships of any duration for him. Life consists of fleeting contacts.
A hunted man can clutch at a single straw, that one day the hunters will lay down their guns. But for Richard Kimble, that day has not yet come.
99. APPROACH WITH CARE
A traveling carny: here one day, there the next. A place for a man on the run. A place for Richard Kimble.
For some men, the world has provided little room, no room for them to live as other men. But for Richard Kimble, there is such a place. And to find it he must now continue his lonely search.
100. NOBODY LOSES ALL THE TIME
Any public disaster will attract a crowd of spectators, people secretly pleased, perhaps, that they are not touched by the tragedy, that they may walk away from the dying and go on about their lives. But one man here today cannot remain so uninvolved, so insulated against another's pain. He is bound by an oath taken many years ago, an oath written by a man named Hippocrates: "I will follow that method of treatment which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients. Into whatever houses I enter, I will enter them for the benefit of the sick." These words, remembered from better days, return to haunt Richard Kimble.
I will practice my profession with conscience and dignity. Even under threat, I will not use my medical knowledge contrary to the laws of humanity. I make these promises solemnly, freely, and upon my honor." And for Richard Kimble, fugitive, they still apply.
101. RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON
The open sea is a perfect place for a fugitive: nothing but water and great horizons. But always the land pulls you back. And for Richard Kimble, the horizon is a small off-coast fishing island, now a strike-torn battleground. A dangerous place for a man on the run.
Another horizon, another haven to look for. The constant search of a fugitive.
102. THE DEVIL'S DISCIPLES
To Richard Kimble, the laws of society are threatening, for society has judged him guilty of breaking the law and ruled that he be punished unto death. But there are other societies with laws no less threatening, no less extreme, and punishing those who violate its code.
For some, the future is a limitless vista, bright and shining, full of hope. For Richard Kimble, the future, like the past, is a recurring nightmare, in which hope is a cynic's smile.
103. THE BLESSINGS OF LIBERTY
Richard Kimble, fugitive, like everyone else, has to stop long enough to work and eat and rest -- even though every time he does any of these things, his own personal danger increases tenfold.
He stands convicted of a crime he didn't commit. His full time occupation is a search for the guilty man. There is no one who has a greater appreciation of freedom, and the blessings of liberty, than Richard Kimble, fugitive.
104. THE EVIL MEN DO
A temporary job in the peaceful meadows of the Poconos Mountains in Pennsylvania. Calling himself Russell Jordan, Richard Kimble has had a rare chance to relax, to catch his breath, at least for a few days.
"No real menace to anyone but himself" -- that's the way it must be for Richard Kimble, still alone and hunted. Even the good he might do is unable to balance the scales of justice which has made him, and keep him, a fugitive.
105. RUN THE MAN DOWN
For some, a highway is just a road to travel for business or pleasure. For Richard Kimble, it is sometimes the only means to freedom. But, at the moment, just minutes ahead of the law, it can be a one-way street leading to sudden death.
For Richard Kimble, freedom is a precious gift, sometimes found in a trackless wilderness, sometimes granted by strangers. But he knows that, always, it is a gift that may be taken back from him, suddenly -- and forever.
106. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN
A stranger in a small town, a hunt for safety -- the fate of a fugitive on the move. But for Richard Kimble, there can be no safety -- only danger.
For some people like Larry, there is justice, tempered with mercy: a sentence of five years, suspended. For Richard Kimble, there is no understanding judge. He must find his own justice.
107. THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY
For men who go down to the sea in ships, time ashore is precious, measured in minutes. For this man, it is measured in apprehension -- and danger. His name is Richard Kimble. He is a fugitive.
Somewhere back across the border is the one-armed man. Until he is found, there can be no reprieve from fear. Richard Kimble remains what he is today: a fugitive.
108. CONCRETE EVIDENCE
Along an isolated stretch of farmland in Nebraska, a construction company builds the sleek asphalt ribbon of a new superhighway. Workers are needed. Richard Kimble takes his place in line with other nameless faces, seeking a job that will give him a new beginning, a new identity. But a superhighway, even one that is yet unfinished, can prove a dangerous road -- for a fugitive.
A fugitive ropes his way into a small corner of darkness, hoping for sanctuary from the relentless force that eternally pursues him. Now, thrust once again into the harsh inquisitive light, Richard Kimble must run, searching for the elusive place where a new life can commence.
109. THE BREAKING OF THE HABIT
Between birth and death, a man travels many roads and learns to predict what lies around the next bend. But, for a fugitive, there are no road maps -- only blind instinct, sharpened by the knowledge that every step may be his last.
As one road is blocked, Richard Kimble takes another. For a fugitive, there are no freeways. All roads are toll roads, to be paid in blood and pain. There are many roads -- there is only one goal.
110. THERE GOES THE BALL GAME
A man on the run has few moments to relax, to live as other men. But a fugitive cannot live by flight alone. Even he must pause for the rare moment to replenish.
So darkness swallows the Fugitive. But it merely covers, not hides, him. He is still hounded, still hunting, but still free -- until tomorrow.
111.THE IVY MAZE
A fugitive: a man driven by a dream. Two dreams: flight from an unjust punishment, where every town is an unjust town; and a dream of destiny, that one town somewhere where Richard Kimble will find his freedom.
For Richard Kimble, the mind's eye is always open, scanning the nightmare landscape for his pursuers. He waits for brief dreams of tomorrow's reprieve. But they are only dreams. And he runs on.
112. GOODBYE MY LOVE
Parking attendant: a job for food and shelter, a place to rest. Another temporary haven for a man on the run. Richard Kimble, known in this place and to these people as Bill Garrison.
Safe for one more night, Richard Kimble continues along the twin paths of the hunter and the hunted, continues along without the knowledge that either road will lead to freedom.
113. PASSAGE TO HELENA
Wyler City, a rugged frontier town in the mining country of northern Montana. To the ordinary man, a place where he can test himself against the harsh demands of nature. To the Fugitive, a corridor of danger.
A fugitive's life is not measured in years: it is measured in moments won, a day gained. Richard Kimble has won another day. Tomorrow, he must win it all over again.
114. THE SAVAGE STREET
Big cities breed indifference to the problems of others. But some men cannot remain detached -- men like Richard Kimble. And involvement can lead to danger.
A fugitive lives with many emotions: hope, gratitude, loneliness. But, among the emotions, one stands out: fear. And every day it's embedded a little deeper, each step a little faster, as the contest continues to take its toll.
115. DEATH OF A VERY SMALL KILLER
Richard Kimble, fugitive, for whom there are no neutrals, only enemies or friends. To such a man, a stranger's whim, a decision to lend a helping hand, means the difference between freedom or death.
To Richard Kimble, fugitive, the respite of love is brief, the end of love a necessity of survival. In flight from the numberless enemy, darkness and loneliness are harsh, but sheltering, friends.
116. DOSSIER ON A DIPLOMAT
A fugitive, if he is innocent, is sustained by hope. It is more necessary to him than food or shelter. But, paradoxically, the greater the promise of that hope, the more agonizing it becomes.
For Richard Kimble, a moment of safety ends. But the long search must continue, for he knows the only true sanctuary lies in the elusive proof of his innocence.
117. WALLS OF NIGHT
For Richard Kimble, a squawking radio phone has become a warm voice, a sympathetic human contact, a release -- if only for a little while -- from the terrible ache of loneliness.
Barbara's sentence will finally come to end. But for Richard Kimble, there is no calendar on which to mark the days. Loneliness once again stretches ahead, as apparently endless as the city streets.
118. THE SHATTERED SILENCE
For some people, a railroad terminal is a weigh station on a journey. For Richard Kimble, the Fugitive, every escape route can be a trap, every move an unforeseen step toward capture.
A fugitive is a man in exile. A woman's love can remain with him only long enough to remind him of his loss. For Richard Kimble, it is the price of freedom.
119. THE JUDGMENT 1
How long can a man search before the search destroys him? To Richard Kimble, working for a trucking firm in Tucson, Arizona, defeat has never seemed so mockingly near. Months have passed, and the trail stays cold. There is no trace of the elusive hope he seeks. But sometimes, hope lies no further than the next truck.
A free man, Fred Johnson, boarded a train that will take him east to Indiana, to Stafford. Hours later, two men boarded another train which will bring them to the same destination. For one of these, the moment of arrival will be one of grim and long-sought triumph. For the other, his homecoming will mark only one more stop on his way to a destiny decreed in a court of law four years before. Richard Kimble is on his way home, and to an overdue appointment -- with death.
120. THE JUDGMENT 2
A man may travel many roads and one day find his way home again. But for Richard Kimble, this road is not of his choosing and this day has come too soon. Two men, traveling together, joined by links of steel and the memory of a senseless murder committed years before. Two hunters, one of whom has finally caught his elusive quarry.
Tuesday, August 29th. The Day the Running Stopped.
