It looks as if you're in quite a mess, doctor.
Perhaps you'll think twice
Before rescuing prominent citizens
From burning airplanes,
Or even friends of prominent citizens.
I beg your pardon.
I know all about his little friends.
I'm merely curious as to which one it was this time.
I don't like to make ultimatums, doctor,
But either you tell me the truth,
Or I'm going turn you over to the police.
Narrator:
Starring david janssen as dr. Richard kimble.
An innocent victim of blind justice,
Falsely convicted for the murder of his wife.
Reprieved by fate when a train wreck
Freed him en route to the death house.
Freed him to hide in lonely desperation,
To change his identity,
To toil at many jobs.
Freed him to search for a one-armed man
He saw leave the scene of the crime.
Freed him to run before the relentless pursuit
Of the police lieutenant obsessed with his capture.
Announcer: The guest stars in tonight's story:
Steven hill.
Jessica walter.
James callahan.
And special guest star nancy wickwire.
Narrator: Quick reflexes are necessary to a doctor.
They are indispensable to a fugitive.
To richard kimble, who is both doctor and fugitive,
They can mean survival.
Stay down.
You all right?
I'm a little shaken up,
But I'm okay.
He's got a broken leg,
Probably some internal injuries.
I'll get an ambulance.
If he comes to, keep him from moving.
I don't know,
This article mentions "reward" at least three times.
You think someone would tell him, whoever he is.
I wish somebody had told me.
Glenn, you know they wouldn't let me in
To talk to you. I'm just kidding.
By the way, I appreciate the department
Going to all this trouble.
Usually, we don't look for someone
Just to give them money,
But in this case, we'll call it a public service.
Anyway, it was russ' idea.
All right, let's get on with your art lesson.
Yeah, I'd say you got the eyes very well.
Okay.
Let's go on to the nose and the lower part of the face.
I'm sure I'd know if I saw him,
But picking out features like this is very tough.
Anyhow, I'm beginning to feel like dr. Frankenstein
Putting his favorite monster together.
Do the best you can, mr. Madison.
Like I said, we'll check out the ranch
Where he phoned for an ambulance.
Gal got a pretty good look at him.
Uh, listen, uh,
If we can get this in time,
We can make the evening papers.
Sometimes I think you're too good for your job, russ.
Okay, mr. Evers,
I think this mouth looks a little like his.
Seems kind of strange he hasn't come forward yet.
Been almost a day and a half.
Hello.
No, not yet.
Oh, don't worry, I'll let you know if we hear anything.
Bye.
What was that?
Newspapermen are still downstairs.
Glenn, I think this is the moment for you
To announce your candidacy for the senate.
No, I don't think the timing's quite right.
You know, russ, this fellow we're looking for,
I'd rather the newspapers didn't find him.
I want to tell him how I feel personally,
Not in front of a lot of reporters.
All right.
Okay, mr. Madison, let's look at some noses.
All right, let's try this one.
Right here.
Evers: It's funny.
It's like I know this guy from someplace.
Evers, you've seen too many faces.
Evers: Just the same, I've seen this face.
You're late.
That pickup in kingman took longer than I thought.
Oh, talking about pickups,
There's a dame waiting for you over in the café.
I better check in first.
Oh, she's been waiting over an hour already.
Did she give a name?
I was too busy looking to ask.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Hello.
You remember me, don't you?
Yes.
Do you have a minute?
Here, take this. It's still hot.
I've already had three cups.
Thank you.
Have you spoken to him yet?
Mr. Madison.
No. No, I haven't.
Did you talk to anybody else about the crash?
No.
How did you find me?
The company name on the truck.
I, uh, called yesterday,
They told me you'd be back today.
I told them I wanted to locate a man
Who changed a flat tire.
Why?
I wasn't supposed to be in that airplane
With glenn madison.
I mean, there was nothing wrong with it.
We're just friends, that's all,
But if it became known that I was with him,
It might be bad.
Especially now.
You see, that's why I've been so anxious to find you
Before you talked to anyone.
I wondered what happened to you.
Then you read the papers?
They said he was alone.
I stayed with him until I heard the ambulance.
Mr. Gordon,
I'd be so grateful, and glenn would too, if you wouldn't-
I won't.
Oh, thanks.
I've been so worried about it.
Well, look, if you read the papers,
Then you know about the reward.
I'll give you his private number,
He's home now. I, uh-
I don't need it.
I don't intend to use it.
You don't want the reward?
No.
Why not?
Well, let's say, you have your reasons for avoiding publicity,
I have mine, okay?
Okay.
You have trouble too?
I'm sorry.
Well, thanks.
Thank you.
For yesterday.
Welcome home.
Thank you.
Cocktail party?
No. Correction.
The mayor's cocktail party.
That's why I wasn't home to greet you.
Well, that's going to cut down on your social life somewhat,
Isn't it?
Probably for two weeks.
Anything involving me, reschedule, all right?
And prepare the guestroom for russ.
He'll be staying with us until I'm on my feet.
Anything you say, dear.
Why did you fly back alone, glenn?
Why not?
You're always so anxious to impress people
With what a great flyer you are.
Yes?
Just a minute.
Get off my back, claire.
I'd love to.
Yes, pat, honey, how are you?
Yes, glenn, I'm fine.
Listen, the man who helped us yesterday morning-
You too?
What do you mean?
While I was still unconscious,
Russ started a crusade to find him.
He can call the police, that's all we need.
I know, but I found him.
I'm glad it was you.
Who is he? What kind of a guy?
Well, his name's dan gordon,
But he won't say anything.
He doesn't even want the reward.
I don't get it.
He doesn't, glenn. He has his own troubles,
Doesn't want publicity.
Honey, he may have told you all that,
But suppose three months from now,
The senate race going full blast,
And he suddenly decides that the information he has
Is worth a lot more.
He's not that kind of man, glenn.
How do you know him so well?
I just know I'm right, that's all.
Glenn, forget about him.
All right. If he can forget about us.
I'll try and take russ off the trail.
Mr. Gordon?
Dan gordon?
Of course you are.
Well, I'd like to shake your hand.
I'm russ haynes. How do you do.
You haven't been reading the papers lately.
Luckily for you a friend at work spotted your picture.
Look, I don't want any-
Look, I'd like you to come and meet mr. Madison.
That's not necessary. Sure it is.
Come on. Boy, will glenn be surprised when he sees you.
you won't be sorry, either.
I guarantee it.
And don't worry about the publicity,
We're gonna keep it simple and dignified.
I'm glad of that.
Oh, that reminds me.
Uh, let me speak to mooney, please.
Lieutenant mooney.
Al, this is russ haynes.
Listen, you can tell your friend evers
That sketch worked out real fine.
A friend of his spotted him and called me.
I'm taking him over to see glenn right now.
Oh, yeah? Who is he?
His name's gordon. Anyway, thanks a lot
For all your trouble. I appreciate it.
It's a pleasure, russ.
It was haynes.
Thinks he's found the guy.
Al, I hate to keep harping on this,
But I've seen that face before.
In a mugshot, maybe.
Well, uh, why don't you go down to r&I
And get them on it?
I have.
They've been on it since yesterday.
Where were you? I've been call-
Never mind that. Wait till you see who I've got here.
This is dan gordon.
I think you two have met before.
Mr. Gordon.
Hold it, you two. Hold it.
Don't do that.
Oh, this isn't for the papers,
I thought you'd like one for yourself.
You heard him russ.
Leave us alone for a few minutes,
Will you, russ?
Okay, glenn.
I'm glad you came.
I didn't have much choice.
Russ gets eager, all right.
I haven't thanked you yet, have I?
I'm not sure I know how.
I appreciate your gallantry as far as the lady is concerned.
Thank you for that too.
No need to make trouble.
I understand you have some kind of problem, mr. Gordon.
If I can help you with it, all you have to do is ask.
At least, let me write a check.
I was on my way to the bus terminal
When your mr. Haynes caught up with me.
My chauffeur will take you there
Or anywhere else you wanna go.
After you've had a drink with me?
Uh...
Oh, don't tell me you don't drink.
The man who saves my life turns out to be a teetotaler.
I'll have one for the road.
Good.
Look at this.
Richard kimble.
Good.
You and I go to madison's house.
Get on the phone, make sure they keep him there.
Get some other units over there. Let's go.
Evers: Hold it.
Anyway, I've set down on a carrier deck in a gale,
With half my controls shot away,
I never even got a scratch.
It just goes to show you, never trust a machine.
Even people are more reliable.
Glenn, I have to talk to you a minute.
Glenn: It can wait. No, it can't.
Okay.
Russ: I think this better be in private.
I was just leaving.
Would you mind waiting on the terrace?
This won't take long.
Will you come back now?
Police think you're richard kimble.
They're on their way here.
Russ will take you to a room where you'll be safe
Until I can get rid of them.
I'd rather take my chances outside.
No, there aren't enough places to hide.
Glenn, mooney may search the house.
Not if I tell them that kimble's already gone.
You are kimble, aren't you?
You saved my life yesterday morning.
Maybe I can do the same for you tonight.
Now, go ahead.
You'll be okay in here.
Al.
I'm sorry, he's gone.
They told me on the radio he was still here.
Russ: Uh, yes, I told them that but, uh, glenn said that-
Which is mr. Madison's room?
Uh, right here. Right here.
Glenn?
Uh-
When did he leave?
Oh, ten, perhaps 15 minutes before your call.
I'm not sure, exactly,
The stuff I've been taking makes me doze every now and then.
He just took the check and went.
Now I know why he was in such a hurry.
Are you sure that's the man?
His hair was a little different.
I'm sure.
Mr. Madison,
I hope you're not letting your gratitude-
Lieutenant, I love this country and its way of life
Too much to break its laws,
Whether I agree with them or not.
Lieutenant, no sign of him outside.
Uh, keep the men looking.
He was on foot, he may not have gone far.
Mr. Madison, see you later.
Thanks, mrs. Madison.
Well, happy hunting, lieutenant.
Join me, glenn?
I imagine you could use a drink.
We could even invite your new resident doctor.
Claire, I want you to stay out of this completely,
You understand?
Oh, I'm out of it.
All I asked is if you'd like a drink.
Yes, I would.
Thank you.
Come in.
Glenn, the newspaper's gonna be calling
And I'm gonna have to tell them something,
So I thought you might say-
Do me a favor and stop thinking, will you?
Sure, glenn.
Oh, uh, my wife's back from san diego.
She wanted to say hello and wish you well.
Why, sure, russ. Ask her to come in.
Sure, glenn.
Come on in, honey.
Hello, claire.
I'm glad you're all right, glenn.
There you are.
If there's anything else you want,
You can use the house phone, okay?
Wouldn't it be better for all of us
If I just got out of here?
Oh, you will, but not yet.
Those hills are still crawling with patrol cars.
Believe me, this is the safest place you could be.
Mr. Madison's taking quite a chance, isn't he?
Well, that's the kind of man he is.
Thank you.
Yes?
Good evening, doctor.
Welcome to the madison estate.
Thank you.
I'm the lady of the house, as the saying goes.
Come in and sit down.
Oh, please eat your dinner, doctor.
Oh, well, I'm, uh, not very hungry.
Oh, would you, uh, prefer a drink?
No, thank you.
It looks as if you're in quite a mess, doctor.
Perhaps you'll think twice
Before rescuing prominent citizens
From burning airplanes,
Or even friends of prominent citizens.
I beg your pardon.
I know all about his little friends.
I'm merely curious as to which one it was this time.
I don't like to make ultimatums, doctor,
But either you tell me the truth,
Or I'm going to turn you over to the police.
Well, that, uh-
That won't do either one of us much good, will it?
I suppose you think I ought to thank you
For saving my husband's life.
That's not necessary.
Oh, yes, yes, it is necessary.
He's going to be a senator, you know.
I shall be a senator's wife.
And then, who knows?
In eight years, perhaps ten...
I might even be the first lady.
I- I'd be a- a good first lady.
They tell me I'm very decorative.
Well, if, uh,
There isn't anything else-
That's why he married me.
That-
My money.
Yes, my- my father bought him for me.
I was shy and lonely and miserable.
I saw glenn madison, wanted him,
So daddy bought him.
Who was with him on his airplane?
I'm a guest in your husband's house.
Oh, yes,
So you'll protect him to the death.
The whole world's set on protecting my husband.
I am not drunk, doctor.
I drink, but I never seem to be able to get drunk.
That's why I'm so good at parties.
I thought it was because you were decorative.
That too.
Good evening, doctor.
Russ is talking to the press on the phone about kimble,
Telling them your offer to hire the finest lawyers
In the country to help him if he gets caught.
Glenn,
What are you going to do about him?
Make sure he gets away. How?
I haven't worked out the mechanics yet, but I will.
I have to make sure he's not caught,
Not only for his sake, but for ours.
I want to talk to you about that.
Oh, honey, you were upset this weekend.
I've already forgotten all the things you said.
Well, I haven't.
I meant it, glenn.
I meant it.
If there ever was anything there,
It's gone now.
Not for me, pat.
I need you more than ever.
Oh, no, I'm sorry, glenn.
Not for you, because you haven't lost anything
You can't replace.
But I'm sorry for myself...
And russ.
I don't know how I could have done this to him
And I can't anymore.
He's never known and he never will.
And so it can't hurt him?
Glenn, he's already been hurt by both of us.
Anything we had together was stolen from him.
Love, attention, comfort.
And if he found out some day,
I couldn't stand it.
I won't let you go, pat.
You can't stop me.
I'll leave here if I have to.
Leave you, russ. Everything.
Be careful, pat.
Your concern for your husband
Suddenly makes you very vulnerable.
I think you'll stay.
Come in.
Anyway, when you write your folks in san diego,
Thank them for me, will you?
And tell them I'm too mean to die young.
Any problems, russ-boy?
No, fine. Fine.
Hi, honey.
Well, newspapers are all straightened out.
We've still got kimble.
Yeah, thanks to a series of brilliant decisions
By my public relations man.
Starting out with yesterday morning
When you thought it'd be a great idea for my public image
To play up the "mystery samaritan. "
Is that what you called him?
Well, it was good publicity.
Still is, russ-boy.
Let's see, what came next?
Yeah, the police idento-kit, the sketch,
Then you brought him here
And he turned out to be an escaped killer.
Russ, baby, check out the brainstorms
With me first, huh?
Let's let old glenn call the plays like always, okay?
Listen, glenn...
Sure, glenn.
I'm sorry.
Glenn: Forget it.
Russ: What about kimble?
As soon as the police go, we move him out.
Okay. Pat?
Good night, glenn.
Glenn: Night, boy. Night, pat.
Don't know what I'd do without you two.
Doctor kimble?
What's the matter?
I'm, uh, surprised.
My husband works for mr. Madison.
I've been worried about you.
Wh- oh, thank you. So have I.
Well, I mean, it's- it's all wrong.
You saved us and now you may lose your life
Because of it.
I want you to take my car keys,
It's parked on the street.
Uh, the, uh, patrol cars are still out there,
But thank you very much.
Oh, the thanks go to you.
You're russ haynes' wife, aren't you?
I haven't got any excuses.
But it's finished now.
Really finished.
When I first met glenn, I thought he was everything,
All the strength and excitement I ever wanted.
The kind of man you read about in history books.
Well-
Turned out he wasn't.
Telling you my problems doesn't help you very much, does it?
Oh, I wish you hadn't seen us crash.
I wish no one had.
So do I.
Claire.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry too, pat.
Sorry for both of us.
I think I'll have a drink on that.
Where are you going, claire?
Away.
I am leaving you... Senator.
You want to know why?
Claire, please.
I'll tell you why.
I've known all along about your playmates.
I told you the next time you'd be sorry,
But you didn't think I meant it.
And maybe I didn't.
Until you did this to russ.
I can't blame her.
I remember being taken in in the same way.
You can be a-
A terribly attractive man, glenn.
Of course, you know that.
Claire.
Attractive...
The way a panther is.
Goodbye, glenn.
Imagine. You might have been senator.
I shudder to think what else.
You tried this once before, remember?
All you got out of it was loneliness and misery.
Yes, I remember.
I tried to kill myself,
I just messed it up.
But those were the good old days, glenn.
I wanted to die if I couldn't be with you.
And now if I thought I had to stay with you...
Well, this time I wouldn't botch it.
You don't mean that, claire.
Oh, yes, I mean it, all right.
And you don't know
How happy it makes me feel to be able to say it.
Now it does, sure.
Let me know how you feel in a week or two
When you start getting lonely and looking for friends.
Let's-
Let's talk about how you're going to feel, glenn.
You'd better go sober up.
The sky is falling, senator,
Or do you really think this is still some alcoholic fantasy?
Because I'm walking, your honor.
I'm walking and I'm talking.
To my lawyer, to the judge,
To the newspapers,
To anybody who wants to listen.
Glenn, darling, you're about to have a new image.
The all-american boy gone bad.
The voters are gonna love it.
You pull the plug, we both go down the drain.
Bon voyage, glenn.
And don't worry about me.
There are better men than you on every corner.
And where do you think you'll find one?
Your money won't get you anybody worthwhile.
Not now, not the way you look.
Not the way you hit the bottle.
Who'd wanna get involved with an over-the-hill,
Self-pitying drunk?
You're not going anyplace, do you hear?
You think I'm gonna let you louse up my career now?
Kimble.
Now's the time for you to leave.
Everybody's asleep, the patrol cars are gone.
I'd just as soon nobody knows you're gone but me,
So come on, give me a hand back into bed.
You can take the car keys and go.
I got the traction apparatus undone,
But I don't think I can hook it back up myself.
You better have this leg re-x-rayed.
It feels all right.
Here are the car keys.
It's the blue one.
Take the right fork at the bottom of the hill
And head north to navajo wells.
It's a little over 90 miles.
The bus station won't be watched.
You can leave the car there.
Thanks.
Good luck.
Good luck to you.
Russ, get up here, will you?
Please, russ.
Russ Glenn, what's wrong?
Glenn? Glenn, can you hear me?
Was it kimble, glenn?
Glenn? Call claire-
Thanks.
No, russ. Let him go.
After what he did to you?
They'll catch him and the first thing he'll tell them
Is that we were hiding him.
That's right.
He's got us.
He was almost out his mind,
Really worked up about something.
Russ, he went through those drawers.
One's gone.
That's claire's.
Russ!
Russ, I want you to unhook this thing
And get me downstairs to the garage.
Glenn, she's dead.
That's not gonna do any good.
I saw him out the window. He was heading north.
Only got a 10 minute start,
I can catch him and I can kill him.
Now, give me a hand.
You're no murderer.
Killing that monster wouldn't be murder.
He's already been given a death sentence,
I'm just gonna carry it out.
Listen, you're not thinking.
What about the papers-
You think I care anything about that now?
You don't now, but you will- he's got to die,
I don't care what happens to me!
Glenn, now, I care what happens to you
And so do a lot of other people.
Now, just let the police handle it.
Well, I guess it doesn't make any difference.
Whole thing's hit the fan anyway.
Without claire,
I'm not even sure I can go through the campaign.
The police will
Probably blast us out of the water anyway.
What do you mean?
They'll catch him
And tell them the whole story.
Russ, we helped a wanted murderer escape.
Doesn't matter why.
Even if the police don't bring charges,
It'll sure put me out of the running.
Can you just dial the operator?
When they find him,
He's not gonna talk to anybody.
Russ, I won't let you do it.
He's an armed killer, isn't he?
Like you said, I'll just be carrying out his sentence.
Russ, it's too dangerous.
Look, glenn,
I'm the one who runs the interference, huh?
Russ, don't do it.
Russ-
If I could have gotten out of this rig,
Maybe I could have stopped him.
But he's not a murderer.
He couldn't kill anyone.
Of course he isn't.
Destroying someone like kimble isn't murder.
I meant kimble.
I felt that way about him too, you know that.
I'm afraid we were both wrong.
If only you could have gotten out of that rig,
You would have stopped him.
Pat.
Dr. Kimble?
This is pat haynes.
If you're on the line, please, answer me.
I'm here.
Now, listen to me, russ.
Talk to your wife. Talk to pat.
She'll tell you I didn't do it.
Go on, talk to her.
Pat?
I feel like doing what you're doing,
Just pick a direction and keep on going.
Pat should need you pretty much about now.
Hm. Yeah.
Thank her for me. Tell her we're even.
She told me that you pulled her out of the plane.
She told me a lot of things.
Thanks.
Good luck to you.
Go back to her, russ.
Yeah, I'm-
I'm not much use without her.
Narrator: In the story books,
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.
