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.

You told me you didn't leave El Paso all year!
I got confused.
You're lying.
No, just forgot, that's all.
You forget about Stafford, too?
Never been there!
But you've been through Indiana but you never left El Paso and you never heard of Gus Evans.
(knowing his cover story about Gus Evans has been discredited) You got me all mixed up.
Tell the truth, Johnson. That way you won't get mixed up.
Alright, hold it, Kimble! [to cab driver] I'm sorry, your fare already left!
Gerard, for the first time I feel I'm really close to something.
It had to happen someday. You knew that. I'm sorry. You just ran out of time.
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 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.
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 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.
(after shooting Fred Johnson dead off the amusement park tower) All right, you can relax, Chandler. I just did your killing for you. (watching Kimble climb down) You've had a good day, haven't you? I guess we both have. After all, for four years now, we've -- both of us -- kept an innocent man in hell. Well, how are we going to end all that? You could keep that man alive. (after Chandler doesn't answer) But you won't, will you?
LCLloyd Chandler
Lieutenant: Lieutenant, I saw that man, Johnson, murder Helen Kimble.
Are you willing to testify to that effect?
LCLloyd Chandler
Yes. I will.
Tuesday, August 29. The day the running stopped.
Is every day like this?
Some days, we're busy.
[contemplating whether to allow a patient to operated on] I guarantee if we perform this operation, regardless of the outcome, we'll be sued, and they'll likely win, and millions.
And that's how we make our decisions? By how much it's gonna cost us?
All right, get off the high horse, Dr. Halstead.
How about we call the Ethics Committee?
Be faster to call a judge, but I'm not gonna burn a favor on this.
[observes Sarah Reese putting a central line into a dummy] I can't tell you how many times I missed before I finally got it.
I know how to do it. I just couldn't do it in there.
It takes practice, that's all.
I'm fine with him. I never miss.
Yeah, he's the ideal patient. You can't hurt him, and his life's not hanging in the balance.
If this rotation weren't a requirement, I wouldn't be here.
Where would you be?
I'm a lab person.
Pathology?
Maybe.
Every med student, once they start dealing with patients, thinks they'd do better in Pathology. I did.
So much easier to run a hospital without doctors.
CDr. Czerny
What's the difference between God and a doctor?
[Will shrugs]
CDr. Czerny
God knows he's not a doctor.
You were in the, uh, what, the navy, right?
Still am. Naval Reserves.
Doc I did my residency with was on away leave from the Navy. Tough as hell practicing psychiatry with you guys. Couldn't get anybody to open up.
Could be a sign of weakness.
Sometimes, when somebody that we love gets sick, very easy to lose sight of the person and see only the disease. Remembering that our loved one is still there? Not always easy.
