- Narrator: [Continuing Act One Narration following a scene with Lt. Gerard and his superior, Capt. Carpenter. Viewers see Kimble opening a newspaper's Want Ads page] Ready? A job. What will it be?
- [Kimble circles an ad that reads "Bartender - Work Nights. The Branding Iron. 109 South Scott Street."]
- Narrator: Be ready for the questions and hope there won't be too many.
- Narrator: [Epilog Closing Narration. Viewers see Richard Kimble, suitcase in hand, walking down a city street at night. He pauses a moment to pet a stray kitten] Now six months, two weeks, and another thousand miles a Fugitive, this is Richard Kimble. And this is how it is with him.
- Lt. Philip Gerard: [to Monica Wells after her husband's funeral] So he
- [meaning Dr. Kimble]
- Lt. Philip Gerard: told you about me. Excellent. He thinks about me as much as I think about him.
- Monica Welles: He's innocent!
- Lt. Philip Gerard: The law says guilty.
- Monica Welles: The law isn't perfect.
- [Gerard looks slightly annoyed]
- Monica Welles: Wherever he is now, he knows I believe him. I always will.
- Dr. Kimble: Monica, I've got to leave town... but if you and Mark come with me, you might be worse off.
- Monica Welles: I don't understand.
- Dr. Kimble: My picture's in every police station in the country. Right now they might just be realizing who James Lincoln really is... a convicted murderer.
- Monica Welles: I don't believe it.
- Dr. Kimble: I said convicted. I'm innocent. I'm... I'm a doctor, a pediatrician. I *was* a doctor.
- Narrator: [Opening Narration. Viewers see a Greyhound Bus pull into the Tucson, Arizona depot. Several passengers disembark, among them, Richard Kimble] Now six months a Fugitive, this is Richard Kimble with a new identity and, for as long as it is safe, a new name - James Lincoln. He thinks of the day when we might find the man with one arm. But now is now, and this is how it is with him.
- [Viewers see Kimble, suitcase in hand, walks through the bus depot]
- Narrator: Another journey - another place. Walk neither too fast nor too slow. Beware the eyes of strangers. Keep moving.
- [Kimble reaches a hotel entrance]
- Narrator: The right one - or will it be a mistake? Is this the trap where it will end?
- [Kimble checks in at the desk and enters room 26]
- Narrator: Safe - for now. Another room.
- [Kimble glances out a window]
- Narrator: Windows look out - and look in.
- [Kimble pulls down the shade]
- Narrator: Get busy.
- [Kimble opens his suitcase on the bed and removes a shaving kit which includes a bottle of hair dye. He goes into the bathroom and carefully examines his face and hair in the mirror]
- Narrator: Look closely. Be sure of this: they'll never stop looking. He'll never stop. Not Lieutenant Gerard.
- Lt. Philip Gerard: Somewhere in here. I'm sure of it.
- Captain Carpenter: What about Mexico? He's near enough.
- Lt. Philip Gerard: Oh, he'd be the yankee, someone different.
- Captain Carpenter: Gerard, when are you due for a vacation?
- Lt. Philip Gerard: I'm not taking my vacation, Captain. Later. I will, later.
- [grabs some reports]
- Lt. Philip Gerard: East, South, Midwest. Every report verified.
- Captain Carpenter: By the time you arrive...
- Lt. Philip Gerard: One day, he'll be there.
- Captain Carpenter: Phil, from the very beginning, the arrest, all through the trial, the appeals and the accident, why? What is it about Kimble?
- Lt. Philip Gerard: I enforce the law. The law pronounced him guilty, I enforce the law.
- Captain Carpenter: What are you trying to convince yourself of? I remember his defense: a man with one arm, running from the direction of his house. Phil, I'm beginning to think that you believe that there was such a man.
- Lt. Philip Gerard: Oh, I did everything I could to find him.
- Captain Carpenter: Meaning that he didn't exist or that he escaped? And if he did escape, the law made a mistake.
- Lt. Philip Gerard: Captain, whether the law was right or wrong is not my concern. Let others debate and conclude. I obey. But when I begin to question, doubt...
- [takes off his glasses]
- Lt. Philip Gerard: I can't permit it. Others found him guilty, others were about to execute him. I was merely an instrument of the law, and I am. And Dr. Kimble must be found.
