Quotes
-
Narrator : [Opening Narration. Viewers see an injured Richard Kimble lying on the ground following a Jeep crash. Next to him is the driver of the vehicle from whom Kimble had hitched a ride. The driver, Reverend Barlow, has been killed by a sniper] For many men, life is a ceaseless flight. Each moment of each day must be escaped by fleeing, somehow, somewhere, without rest until one day all hope dies, even the hope of further flight. Perhaps for such men, death comes as a final and all obliterating kindness: after a lifetime of nightmarish flight, an eternity of dreamless rest. But for Richard Kimble, there is no rest, nor freedom to live. He is also denied the freedom of death.

Narrator : [Closing Narration. Viewers see Sheriff Bilson about to question Steve Keller] Even for the guilty, there is relief when the truth is known.
[Viewers see Richard Kimble, having escaped, stumble along a back country road]
Narrator : But for Richard Kimble, the truth that will free him lies somewhere ahead over the next horizon, beyond the next town, at another place, at another time.
