(Kimble revives Ruth Simmons' son who had passed out due to fever; the child is Joshua Simmons' grandson, and Joshua, a Christian Scientist who does not believe in medicines, has felt ashamed about his grandson due to misunderstanding the circumstances of his gestation)
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, once more, he can become the hunter.
For the 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.
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.
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.
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.
