S1 E15Unfinished Business

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.

Nebraska. A world of wheat, dirt roads. All open to the sky, but still a silent sky. Richard Kimble has found temporary refuge in the remote farming community of Black Moccasin, and even here there are questions.

The question is why you? When they're probably gonna get me anyway, Why you?

Cause if I'm not against you, I'm for you. And if I'm for you, I'm lost.

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.

Reno. The biggest little city in the world. A town for all seasons. A town for all tastes. Dude ranch, diivorce 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.

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?

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.

("No more running today, huh?" says Richard Kimble to the dog.) 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 30 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 kennel's most valued animals, and deliberately turn her loose in the 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.

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.

A miracle is defined as an effect in 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.
