“Unfinished Business” quotes from Criminal Minds

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 place 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.

Any public disaster will attract a crowd of spectators, people secretly please, perhaps, that they aren't 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.

What is it with you?

Richard Kimble

What do you mean?

Don't you think I know? This room costs, and you signed for it. What is Maggie Tibbett to you?

Richard Kimble

He wasn't running from you, Maggie, he was running from me.

(clearly surprised) Freddie? A guy like you mixed up with him?

Richard Kimble

How long have you known him?

A couple of months.

Richard Kimble

Do you know where I can find him?

Why?

Richard Kimble

I've got to talk to him.

It doesn't sound to me like you want to talk.

Richard Kimble

Well that's up to him.

I owe you. I know. They told me you saved my life.

Richard Kimble

I'm a doctor.

But I owe Freddie, too. Somehow you scare me about him. What's this all about?

Richard Kimble

A long time ago something happened.

Trouble?

Richard Kimble

Yes, trouble. And he's the only one who can clear it up.

Fred Johnson

Doctor? What doctor? What does he look like?

Tall. Dark. Sort of quiet.

Fred Johnson

That's Kimble all right. Now listen.

(after Johnson tells her) Honey, there's got to be another way, I can't call the cops on him. (after Johnson objects) Why not? He saved my life!

Fred Johnson

You wanna see me again, or you wanna see me in jail? (after she agrees) Okay, then, do like a tell you.

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.

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.

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.

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 did not commit. His full-time occupation is the 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.

A temporary job in the peaceful meadows of the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania. Calling himself Russell Jordan, Richard Kimble has had a rare chance to relax, catch his breath, at least for a few days.

Lt. Philip Gerard

(both hidden from sniper Arthur Brame with Kimble bearing Gerard's sidearm) You warn me of a killer yet you hold a gun at me. You have your own unique sense of justice.

Richard Kimble

We'll talk about justice later.

Lt. Philip Gerard

That wasn't my doing.

Richard Kimble

Well this killing isn't mine.

Lt. Philip Gerard

Should I tell you something, Kimble, I'd never believe it was. I think I know that much about you.

Arthur! No! Kimble's with him, he doesn't want him killed.

I can't help it if he's a fool!

I've got the car.

No. I've got this trap set and he can't get out. This will square the whole thing!

You're not doing this for him, you're doing this for you!
