Next: The Fugitive in color.
I think he's worse.
Hand me that ointment.
You seem to know what you're doing.
- A little. - More than a Little, I'd say.
Where'd you pick it up?
Medical Corps.
The only thing I got in the service was three years older.
Do you need me anymore?
No, I'll be all right.
I'll be on deck if you do.
You'll be all right for a while. I think I'll go get some air.
I'd rather you stayed.
You値l be all right, at least until the doctor comes.
The doctor I want
is already here.
A QM Production.
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.

and special guest star Charles Bronson.
Tonight's episode:
For men who go down to the sea in ships,
time ashore is precious, measured in minutes.
For this man, it is measured in apprehension and danger.
His name is Richard Kimble.
He's a fugitive.
Is that the skipper?
The deckhand. He just signed on this week.
There's the skipper, Gus Hargis.
I've checked him out. He's clean, been around for years.
You値l be replacing him. He's gonna work with us.
Any questions?
Not yet.
Wow. Is that her?
That's her. Mrs. Greer. First name, Felice.
- Question. - What?
- How did I get picked for this job? - You've got a skipper's license.
That's her husband, Oliver Greer.
He looks like a solid citizen.
If I had any money, I'd invest it with him.
If I had any money.
He fooled a lot of people, including his own office.
He went out to lunch one day and never came back.
They found the business short 25,000 cash
and a quarter of a million in negotiable securities.
The next thing we knew, he's in Jamaica alone.
With all that money to keep him company.
We're not so sure he took anything except the cash.
The securities had been seen that morning
and he took a 3:00 plane out of the country.
Not much time to convert them to cash.
What's the latest on him?
After Jamaica, he was spotted in Maracaibo,
then he disappeared right into thin air.
We kept surveillance on the Little lady but nothing.
No safety deposit box.
She'd been steadily withdrawing from her savings.
Looked Like he completely abandoned her
and maybe fenced the bonds out of the country.
Tough, but he could have done it. Anyhow, we gave up on her.
Well, how come all this?
After chasing our tails for months, we finally got a tip.
He crossed into Mexico and was headed for the coast.
She might have had the same tip and may be planning to meet him.
Well, a woman who Looks Like that deserves better.
She needs someone to keep an eye on her.
You just volunteered.
Yeah.
Well, how many days has she got the boat chartered?
Five days and she hasn't said where she's going.
What about me? What's my cover?
You値l have a letter from Gus Hargis.
His kid's sick and you'll be taking the boat out for him.
Okay,
but I'd Like to grab another look at that crewman.
Will he be working with her?
That's something you値l have to tell us.
Ask me tomorrow, Ralph. I haven't checked him out yet.
- Wanna get the lights? - Yeah, sure.
- Hi. My name is Ralph Schuyler. - Bill March.
- You're the new skipper? - Ouija board?
No, Gus phoned. He told me you'd be aboard.
How's his boy?
Well, the fever's down a Little. I think he'll be all right.
We got a passenger on board.
I almost tripped over the luggage. Better get it stowed, huh?
- I'll get this stuff in the cooler. - I'll check out the fuel.
I'm sorry.
- Hope that wasn't your pitching arm. - I'll live.
- Are you the crew? - Yes, ma'am.
Captain Hargis didn't mention your name.
I'm Bill March. I'll get your bags.
Guess you don't care.
Oh, I know your name. It's Mrs. Greer.
I guess I wasn't too hard to pick out.
- How many in your party? - I'm the party.
That should make it easier for the crew.
That's right.
You're not very talkative, are you?
Captain Hargis didn't strike me as a sparkling conversationalist either.
Well, Captain Hargis won't be aboard this time.
- Why not? - His boy has pneumonia.
He's going to stay ashore with him.
- Who's taking us out? - His nephew.
He has the papers and he knows the boat.
Well, here you are. You must be Mrs. Greer. I hope.
My name is Ralph Schuyler. It's a pleasure to have you aboard.
I've been looking forward to it.
Anything I can do for you?
Well, you can weigh anchor or whatever it is you do on boats.
Sure. Where do you wanna head?
Ensenada, the Coronados, Puerto Rosalia.
I've never been to Mexico.
Well, we're practically on our way, soon as I finish checking out.
Nice meeting you, Mrs. Greer.
Mr. March?
Yes, ma'am?
Have you worked with Captain Schuyler before?
No, this is the first time.
I just started working with Gus Hargis about a week ago.
Something wrong?
No.
Is there a key to this door?
Yes, ma'am.
- There you go. - Thank you.
- What? - Bill March, he's a phony.
No Social Security, no draft record, nothing.
- Real name? - I don't know.
That could make it tough if he's working with her.
- I want a positive ID. - Fingerprints.
That's the general idea.
We're about ready to shove off. How do I get them to you?
You値l think of something, Romeo, when you're not thinking of her.
Right. Goodbye.
Excuse me. Sorry, I took so long.
- Mr. Schuyler. - You sound Like Navy.
No, I wasn't.
I was and I had ''mister'' and ''run a tight ship'' right up to here.
- What's on your mind? - Lunch. It's almost noon.
Tell you what. I'll help myself,
- you do the same, okay? - Okay.
Unless you wanna whip up something special for her.
She makes a pretty good Looking masthead, huh?
- You don't dig? - No, I guess I just don't have time.
Looks Like her husband doesn't, either.
Reach me those cigarettes will you?
One thing about the ocean:
one part Looks pretty much the same as any other.
We in Mexican waters yet?
No, we're about four hours away. Hey, Bill, you want to take this?
- Yeah. - I'll show you.
This mark on the map, is that where we are right now?
This map is called a chart.
And that spot is where we were at noon.
This is the border?
''Ensenada.
Puerto Rosalia.'' There's not much in between.
Well, there's Tenango there.
I never heard of it. What's it Like?
It's typical, small, west-coast Mexican town.
- Is it nice? - It's so-so.
It's got a hotel with about a dozen rooms, a market.
You know, the usual. It's not on the tourist run.
Have you ever been there, Mr. March?
Afraid not.
Let's stop there, anyway. It might be fun.
No, fun it isn't. It's Like I told you.
It's a nice quiet place where nothing ever happens.
Maybe that's exactly my idea of fun.
Let's stop there.
Well, with that outfit you might shake up the town a Little.
Could be fun at that.
- Isn't it time for Lunch? - Yeah.
- Bill was about to go to work on it. - I'll do it.
I'll take it.
Puerto Rosalia, Ensenada.
Now, why'd you suppose she'd pick that part of Mexico?
I don't know.
Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco, this I can understand.
- That's where the action is. - Maybe she doesn't want action.
You know, I get the impression she kind of likes you.
She drop any hints about what she's got on her mind?
No, sir.
It doesn't really matter.
I just got to wondering what makes a beautiful rich woman Like that tick.
I'll go below and see if she needs some help with Lunch.
Well, no one will never lock you up for being noisy.
Something the matter?
Say it.
AII right, Mexico.
Mexico.
Well, that's better than ''yes, ma'am.'' What about Mexico?
- I think there could be some trouble. - Trouble?
If you're going down to see your husband.
Would you slice those tomatoes thin, please?
That question about my husband, kind of came from out of left field.
Sorry.
What do you know about him?
Just what I read in the papers.
Then you know I haven't much to be grateful for.
He's about the last person I wanna see in Mexico.
What other reason did you have for bringing up my delinquent husband
besides that uncontrollabIe jealousy of yours?
I'll take the sandwich up to Ralph.
Bill?
Yeah?
You worry about you, okay? I'll worry about me.
Okay.
You Looking for something?
Yeah. We're running into a cross chop
and I wanted to see if the portholes were closed, but your door's locked.
The portholes are closed. And the door stays Locked.
Fine. Thank you.
- Bill? You up there? - Be right with you.
What's the trouble?
It just quit.
Yeah, it does that sometimes. It needs a Little priming.
What happened? The Lights went out.
They'll be on in a minute.
Would you put that over there for me?
That's funny.
Maybe we've blown a fuse.
Yeah, here it is.
We got plenty of fuses.
We had plenty of fuses.
Well, that's no sweat. We can put in some place
- and get some more. - Do we have to?
- You wanna tie up in port every night? - Well, no, of course not.
Well, we gotta have running Lights and we have to have fuses.
He's right. It's too dangerous without running Lights.
Bill?
- I'm sorry about before. - Nothing to be sorry about.
Well, thank you for worrying about me anyway.
Hey, mister?
- Yes, sir? - Hi.
I'd Like to use your phone. Collect, if I can.
It's private, thank you.
Operator.
Hello?
Yes, I'll accept the charges.
Ralph?
Mitch, I went through everything and came up empty.
If she's going to her husband, she's not bringing a dowry.
And by the way, right now it Looks Like Tenango.
You get March's prints?
Yeah, I got them. I'll leave them here for you to pick up.
I knew you could depend on me, Mitch.
So did I, lover boy. Keep in touch.
Well, that'll be tough getting to a phone.
You've got a radio.
Okay, Mitch. I'll try.
Mister?
- You through? - Yeah.
I wanna Leave this here.
Someone'll be along to pick it up, okay?
- Okay. - Thank you.
Would you Like to take her a while?
Yeah, sure.
Like some company?
No place to go, nothing else to do.
AII right, I'll be right back. We'll do nothing together.
I know most of these Mexican coastal towns
if you'd Like some company and a genial guide.
You're very kind.
You sure you want to put in at Tenango?
We won't find much to do there, you know.
We won't?
Well, that's why it appeals to me.
Mexico's no place for anybody alone.
It's getting a Little rough, isn't it?
You're a very pretty woman.
Did you learn that in Navigational School?
I think your husband has a bad case of stupidity.
What do you know about my husband?
Only that he must be a Little short of brains
to allow you to travel all by yourself Like this.
If I had a wife that looked Like you...
- Bill! - Hey, Ralph, wait a minute!
Ralph! On the starboard side, there's a big valve!
Can you crank that boat down?
Oh, I suppose so.
If we're not out of there in two minutes,
crank it down and get out of here. Do you understand?
How Long have I been out?
About four hours.
Anybody giving odds?
We値l get you to a doctor. We're headed in.
- Where? - Tenango.
We should be there about 10:00 tomorrow morning.
You shouldn稚 have come in after me. You could have got yourself killed.
- How bad does it Look? - It's bad.
Doctor will be able to tell you better.
Thank you.
Forget it.
I owe you one.
Hmm.
Bill?
A favor? And no questions?
What is it?
I Like you and I think I can trust you. Am I right?
I guess so.
Would you give this to the desk clerk at the hotel? Please?
''George Barber''? Or should it say ''Ollie Greer''?
- I thought we said no questions. - You said no questions.
It's Ollie.
Boy, you don't carry a grudge, do you?
The police were sitting on my doorstep for so many months,
I thought if I acted if I weren't carrying a torch, maybe they'd go away.
- Did they? - Eventually.
But you're still carrying a torch.
One of the biggest you've ever seen.
He didn't do it, Bill.
He was in charge and the books were altered
and he just couldn稚 prove that he was innocent.
Please?
I love him, I have to see him.
Why don't you take the Letter up to the hotel?
Well, somebody has to take care of Ralph
and it's better if Ollie and I aren't seen
until we're on the high seas, sailing off into the sunset.
That's pretty romantic.
Believe it or not, I'm a pretty romantic Lady.
I believe it.
Okay, you take care of Ralph.
I will.
Mitch? Hey, Mitchell, there's been an accident.
Are you okay?
No, not really. I could use some help, Mitch.
Where are you now? Tenango yet?
Yeah, we just pulled in.
Now Greer's somewhere around,
but I don't know for sure.
Never mind about Greer. Didn't you get the message?
What message?
I didn't want to chance the radio, so I cabled you at the hotel.
You've got a real celebrity aboard.
Dr. Richard Kimble. He's still with you, isn't he?
He'll be back.
Then keep him there.
We値l notify the Mexican police in Mexicali.
Ralph, are you sure you're okay?
Yeah.
Hey, Mitch, I gotta hang up now.
Nice hands.
Don't stop. It feels good.
You just don't quit, do you?
Not for Long.
How did that bandage get loose?
I hope you weren't walking around.
I had a nightmare. Guess I was tossing around too much.
What kind of a bad dream?
Uh...
I dreamed that
I lost you forever.
Believe it or not, you're sick.
Oh, uh...
- May I help you, senor? - Yes, I need a doctor.
There's a man, he's badly burned.
He's aboard the K-5 down by the dock.
Oh, the K-5? You must be Senor Schuyler.
No, why?
Oh, a telegram it was phoned in for Senor Schuyler.
- Well, I'll take it to him. - Oh.
Would you take care of this?
''Senor Barber,'' si. I will call the doctor for you.
Could you arrange for some transportation to the border?
Oh, Jaime Salazar will drive you. Maybe 300 pesos.
That's fine.
He has been called out to a small village.
They do not know when he will return.
I have Left a message for him to call here,
but even then it will take three, four hours to make the journey.
I will call Jaime Salazar for you about his automobile.
No, that's not necessary. Maybe later.
- Oh, Senora Barber! - Yes?
A Letter for your husband, senora.
Oh, thank you.
Would you Like me to try another place?
No.
I think he's worse.
Hand me that ointment.
You seem to know what you're doing.
- A Little. - More than a Little, I'd say.
Where'd you pick it up?
Medical Corps.
The only thing I got in the service was three years older.
Do you need me anymore?
No, I'll be all right.
I'll be on deck if you do.
You値l be all right for a while. I think I'll go get some air.
I'd rather you stayed.
You値l be all right, at Least until the doctor comes.
The doctor I want
is already here.
Oh, I've missed you so much.
I've got a few thousand words on that subject myself.
Why didn't you let me know you were coming?
I was afraid they'd intercept the message.
It's been so Long.
That's all over now. Let's go see our new floating home.
I meant it when I said I owed you one.
I'm sorry it can't be now.
This was at the hotel for you.
- You read it? - I read it.
And you still came back.
Well, I wasn't trained to Let people die.
What about your wife?
Not her, either.
You're wrong. The courts are wrong.
How did you know about me?
I got your prints and we have your picture,
picture of this boat and Oliver Greer.
Greer?
That's who we're after, him and the money he embezzled.
We thought his wife was carrying it, but it Looks Like she's clean.
- Well, it was an accident. - Yeah.
They happen.
Yeah. They happen.
What do you think you're doing?
- What I came to do. - You're in no shape for that.
You can hardly stand up.
You just go out there in front of me and keep quiet.
Come on.
We made it in all right, but there still may be some damage.
The skipper's in bad shape too.
How about the money? Did you get it?
More or less.
Where is it?
In my coin purse.
Heh. You've got $250,000 in your coin purse?
I converted the money.
- What are you talking about? - Rare coins.
I mean, really rare coins.
I figured anybody Looking for a quarter of a million dollars
couldn稚 be bothered Looking at a Lot of Loose change in a coin purse.
Oh, that's beautiful, honey. Beautiful.
When can we go?
As soon as the boat's in good enough shape.
I'm afraid not.
I'm gonna hold you for the Mexican police, Mr. Greer.
- You're a policeman? - That's right.
You didn't think it was important to tell me that the skipper was a cop?
I didn't know.
What are you going to do with us?
The Mexican police are on their way.
They値l hold you until we can arrange extradition.
I'll take those coins, Mrs. Greer.
You go on over there and stand.
I want the three of you close together.
He had nothing to do with this.
Yeah, I know. He's got his own set of problems.
What does he mean?
I mean that your playmate is a convicted wife-murderer.
His name is Richard Kimble.
You picked a great bunch of shipmates.
Look, fella, you could stand to make a sizable piece of change.
How could I do that?
Now, you've already got a murderer to take back.
Maybe that'd be enough for them.
Mr. Greer, if I didn't know that you were a Large-scale embezzler,
I'd think you were trying a Little smalltime
bribery.
No.
I think we'll just
wait for the police.
You won't make it, Ralph.
I'll have those coins
Mrs...
How is he?
He needs blood.
We can Leave him on the dock. Somebody'll find him.
There's 10,000 for you if you take us out of here.
How many passengers?
Just the two of us.
And I'll give you a warning:
If you refuse, we値l Leave you here for the police all bundled up.
I'll take you.
It pays to have a clever wife.
What do two of them pay?
Give me the gun, baby, and the coin purse.
Give him that purse and that's the Last you値l see of it or of him.
Watch it, mister. You're on thin ice. The gun, baby.
- What did you mean? - There's a Senora Barber at the hotel.
- He's trying to pull something. - I saw her.
He's lying, but don't ask me why.
What does she Look Like?
- Tall and blond. - Wears a Lot of dark eye makeup?
Patty Stockwell.
- Who's she? - His secretary.
Should I say former secretary?
Looks Like she's come up in the world.
Are you gonna believe him?
See that, Ollie?
It's 1894 Liberty Head dime.
It's worth about $12,500.
That's my truth. Now you tell me yours.
You've Let him snow you with one lie. One lousy Lie.
Go up to the hotel and Look at the register.
Just Like a penny, doesn't it?
It's an 1875 Philadelphia $3 gold piece.
- Nineteen thousand dollars. - No!
Then tell me the truth!
AII right, it was Patty. But it's not what you think.
I just felt I owed her something.
Like your name?
That didn't mean anything. It was just for the hotel.
But she did help fix the books. You know all she did.
She really stuck her neck out.
Yeah, she's a great kid.
I just felt that she earned a trip down here, that's all.
Like a vacation.
Oh, Ollie. You got a heart Like all outdoors.
Darling, you know you're the only woman in the world for me.
You mean more to me than anything. You know that.
That's fine.
Then we won't need these.
Double-crossing--
What are you waiting for?
Why don't you get out of here?
You'd better Look after him.
He's a policeman, American.
Where is Richard Kimble?
I don't know.
There he is, Lieutenant. That's Kimble.
Ollie.
Officer.
You're after the wrong man.
- This is Richard Kimble. - She's Lying.
He'll identify him when he comes to.
Do you know what you're saying?
Senor, I'm afraid you will have to come with me.
Here! Come here!
Mr. Schuyler?
I am Tenente Calderon.
I think you will be happy to know that we have your Dr. Kimble here for you.
Where?
He's right here, senor.
No, I'm afraid not, Lieutenant.
I do not understand, senor.
You mean to say that this is not Dr. Kimble?
That's what I've been trying to tell you.
Fortunately, Lieutenant, this man is wanted on another charge.
What made you think he was Kimble?
This woman, she said...
I am sorry, senor.
I am sorry you did not get your Dr. Kimble.
It's all right. AII I Lost was a dividend.
The doctor will be here soon.
I will stay with you until he comes.
Lieutenant, could you put these two away?
Lieutenant Mitchell will send somebody to pick them up.
We could have worked it out.
You, me and Patty?
Mrs. Greer,
there's still the matter of those coins.
What difference does that make now?
To you, a couple of years.
If you find some of those native boys who Like to dive for coins,
I can show you where.
Mrs. Greer?
I'm sorry Tenango didn't turn out to be
as much fun as you thought it would be.
Me too.
Somewhere, back across the border, is the one-armed man.
Until he is found,
there can be no reprieve from fear.
Richard Kimble remains what he is today:
a fugitive.
