Richard Kimble has been tried
and convicted

But laws are made by men,
carried out by men.

Richard Kimble is innocent.

Proved guilty, what
Richard Kimble could not prove

he encountered a man running
from the vicinity of his home.

A man with one arm.

and sees only darkness.

But in that darkness,
fate moves its huge hand.

ANNOUNCER:

Papa? Don't you need me
to help you today?

Jenny, honey?
First bell's ringin'.

Jenny, love,
you hurry now,

Do I have to go?

And don't you go near
them woods at all.

Papa, please.

I never
did my homework.

You'll be late, Jenny.

Get. Get along.

You run, you gonna
make yourself sick.

take Richard Kimble,
unjustly convicted of murder.

a stranger in town.

Hello?

Oh, Naiad, Naiad...

Oh, you've just got
to help me.

Oh, please. I'll do anything
you say,

only, please...

Hi.

Are you all right?

I found these in the road.

Whose are they?

Well, do you think you could
take them to her?

Her name is Jenny Ammory.

Well, maybe she'll come back
for them.

Mister?

and that's why she went
on ahead to school,

Nobody. Ever.

but, uh, I'd say she did
the right thing

in going on to school.

Thank you.

Hey, come on!

Come on, Jimmy!

Come on!
Look at me go!

Come on, get it!
Come on, get it!

Miss Norton?

Well, you can take
your recess now.

You need the change
and the exercise.

Gonna send another
note home to my ma?

that you're almost always
late for school,

and that your homework
is seldom done?

Well, I know, dear.
You always have an excuse.

Maybe we'll get
to be friends, huh?

A man got after me.

A perfect stranger.

Jenny, you have a wonderful
imagination and I'm glad,

There was a man.

I was late 'cause I came
through the woods.

And he tore my dress.

And I ran and ran.
Oh, I really did my homework,

Jenny, how did you tear
your dress?

There.
I told you.

I tore it when I was running
to get away.

Jenny...

Jenny, remember the time
you saw the wild Indians...

...and the, uh-?
The monster?

I know, but this is real.

Well, you said that
about the monster too.

I don't care.
This is different.

Yes, Jenny.
This story is different.

Because it could mean something
to grownups that's...

Something that's very dangerous.

To him or to me?

To him.

If- If there is a man
like this,

there could be a great deal
of very bad trouble about it.

But you don't believe there is.

The important thing is I want
you to be sure about it.

Now, look, don't say
anything more about this

to anyone else just now.

You think it over carefully,

and then tell me the story
again at lunchtime.

But it'll still be the same
and you still won't believe me,

because you don't want to.

Even if I prove it.

It's hard to make you understand
that what I don't want

is for you to be hurt,

either by a lie or the truth.

I won't be, Miss Norton.

'Cause there's someone who
protects me all the time.

Someone who knows
I'm not a liar.

Wait and see.

Hey.

That ain't Ty Tyson
at all.

That's that fellow
he hired last week.

How do you do?

Howdy.

Uh, Mr. Tyson sent me over
to get a cord of wood.

Ain't you that feller,
uh, Fowler?

That's right.
Jim Fowler.

I've heard
about you.

I'm, uh,
Mrs. Ammory.

How do you do?
Yonder's my man, H.R.

How do you do?

Ah, my daughter Jenny's
gone to school.

I-I guess you probably
passed her on the road, huh?

On the...?
Uh, well- Well, I, uh...

Unless she's gone snuck off
into them woods again

like I told her not to,
to play.

Yeah, I guess I came along
too late and I didn't see her.

Ah.
Firewood's ready.

Oh, I hope she gets there
on time today.

You know, that teacher
we got now, Miss Norton,

picks on
some of 'em.

Mostly the girls.

She likes the boys
just fine. Heh!

Well, we're the Ammorys
and, uh, you're Jim, huh?

That's right.
We'll do the loadin', mister.

You know,
come to think of it,

her bein' the town librarian
too,

you probably know Miss Norton,
don't you?

Yes, ma'am. We've met.

Enjoy our library, do you?

Yeah, the books are nice.

They say you've read quite a bit
since you come to Hainesville.

Well, it's a nice little town
to read in.

Maybe I should've asked you

before I talked about her
like that.

I hope I didn't step
on no tender toes there, Jim.

No, ma'am.
I've been to the library twice.

Uh, but not tenderly.

Sure I can't give you
a hand with this wood?

No siree, Bob.

Ty Tyson'll wanna cut the price

if we let his hired hand
help us load up.

We need that $20.

Every penny of it.
Stand back, mister.

Miss Norton ever mention to you
why she ain't been married?

A woman her age?

Uh, no, ma'am.
We just passed the time of day.

Menfolk around here
like her right enough.

Ain't that true, H.R.?

Women carry on about her
somethin' fierce.

That's true.

'Course, havin' a baby
and runnin' a house,

them things age a woman some.

But, you know, there she is,
really older than me.

Leastways not no younger.

Ain't never taken a husband.

Some do, some don't,
that's all.

'Course you ain't married
neither, are you, Jim?

Uh, no, ma'am.

Say, I know why
you ain't seen Jenny.

It's 'cause she run
all the way to school.

That's what she did,
I told her to walk and she run.

She run, she run, she run
so she wouldn't be tardy.

See there, that's
that teacher again.

She got that child plumb scared,
poor little thing.

Hey,
Brains.

Hey, Brains.

Better hop to it,
the boss is calling for you.

Let's see, now, I-
I gave you $15, didn't I?

Yup,
ten-five.

Got a $5 bill
in your pocket?

Got Mr. Ammory's firewood
out of the truck?

It's, uh, unloaded,
stacked over there.

Oh, he's a real wizard,
ain't he?

Oh, yeah, very polite
with the ladies too.

Here you go, H.R.

Twenty dollars,
paid in cash, right?

Oh, don't forget to put it
on your income tax.

Tell your missus I said hello,
will you?

Here you are, two, three, four,
and I sure do thank you, Brains.

I gave you five.

Oh, that just makes us even.

Cost me a dollar 'cause you had
them Ammorys load that wood

without you helpin' 'em.

I could've charged them
an hour of your time.

What's that?
That's a dime.

You pay me
a dollar-ten an hour.

Hey, I like you,
Brains. I really do.

You hear that,
Sailor?

Ha, ha, ha-
No, Ty. What was it, huh?

Oh, man, that's rich.

Yeah, you're all right, Brains.
You know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna let you load about
a ton of coal on this truck.

That's very nice of you, Ty,
but I'm trying to eat my lunch.

Well, you can eat later today.

Board of Elders ordered this
coal

and paid for it in advance.

Come on,
I'll help you.

Can't this wait half an hour?
No, it can't.

Our little schoolteacher wants
it up there by noon recess.

To the school, huh?

Oh, that's different,
ain't it?

I guess it is.

Never keep
a lady waiting.

Especially Emily Norton, right?

She's a lady.

What you been doin'
to find that out?

I thought I was
quietly observing.

She's intelligent.

Alert.

Probably too much
of a lady

to take up with any stranger
in town, right?

She hasn't taken up with me,

if that's what
you're worried about.

I didn't say I was worried
about it, did I, Brains?

Heh. No, fact is...

I'm kinda
takin' it easy with her,

and I don't like
nobody rushin' me.

I don't think she knows
she's spoken for, Ty.

She will,
when the time comes.

'Course, I can't talk
as pretty as you.

Want me to tell her for you?

Heh, you wanna
take the chance?

Heh.

'Course, you could just stay
away from her entirely.

I think I'd
like that better.

He's here.

He's here. I told you
he was after me.

Now he's here.

Jenny.

There. There.

Now do you believe me?

Jenny, that's simply the man
delivering the coal

I ordered
for the furnace.

Mr. Fowler.

Don't tell him
where I am.

Don't tell him
what I said.

He'll lie to you.

Jenny, you stay right here
while I go speak to him.

Now, I've met him.
He seems like a very nice man.

No!
Don't tell him!

I have to show him
where to put the coal.

If you tell on me,
Miss Norton,

a terrible thing
will happen.

Mr. Fowler.

Hello.

Uh, hello, Miss Norton.
Uh...

Mr. Fowler, do you know
one of my girls, Jenny Ammory?

Well, I know
who she is.

Do you know
where she lives?

I was at the, uh, Ammory farm.
I picked up some firewood.

Oh? When was that?

This morning.

What time? Before school?

Yes.

Was Jenny there?

Uh, no, uh, not at the farm.

Well, did you see her?

I bet you don't give out
many A's, Miss Norton.

Bang, bang! Pow!
Bang!

Marvin.
Bang!

Marvin, please.

You're not permitted
to play around the barn.

Now, run along outside.

Okay.
Sorry, teacher.

Come on,
let's go.

I'm sorry.

I have quite a bit of trouble
with Jenny Ammory.

She has a-
A fantastic imagination.

She told me a story

about something that happened
this morning.

Something that involves you
in a rather unpleasant way.

About a man.

Chasing her through the woods.

I think
I'm ahead of you.

I'll tell you
a secret.

It was me, but I-

Jenny! Shame on you, Jenny.

You tell me stories,
you- You disobey me,

and now you eavesdrop on me.

Well, little girl,
you are in trouble now.

This is very,
very serious!

Mama, Mama!

What is it?
Oh, Mama.

Oh, there, there, there.
Mama.

Baby, what's the matter?
Mama.

Oh, there. What are you doing
home at this hour, sweetheart?

Mama...
Hmmm?

Something awful
happened.

She send you home
for misbehavin'?

It wasn't me, Mama.

Her and this man.

Who? What man?

The man who works for Mr. Tyson.

He came to school
in the truck.

He did? You mean Jim?
That- That- That Jim Fowler?

Yes, Mama. And I saw him and
Miss Norton go into the barn.

You what?

Come on, baby. Come on inside
with Mama, now.

You tell me
all about it.

Come on now, baby.
Come on.

Oh, Mama,
I'm tellin' the truth, honest.

She saw me.
I tried not to let her see me.

Then she got real mad.
And she scared me.

And then I ran so hard I even
tore my dress. Oh, baby...

Oh, I just had
to come home.

She's got it in for me now.

All right. There, there, there.
I just had to come home.

Sh-shh. You did just right,
sweetheart. You did just right.

There, you settle down now.
You're safe with Mama.

You did just right,
sweetie.

Poor little girl. Bein' made
to look at somethin' like that.

Them shameless,
no-good-

Give me 3-
3921, please.

You tell Mama
just what you seen.

Mama, I just can't.

Of course you can't, baby.
Come on, never mind.

Mama knows.

H-hello, Mrs. Sturgis?

This is Mrs. Ammory.

Yeah, well, I thought I should
call you first, Mrs. Sturgis,

because, uh, Mr. Sturgis
bein' chairman of the Elders...

Well, you see, my-
My little girl

come home from school
just now...

and, uh, well,
it's happened.

Mm-hm, just like I always
knowed it would.

Oh, Naiad, Naiad...

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Three times today you saved me.

Three times.

Most of all, Mr. Fowler.

Oh, thank you for him.

I know why you sent him now.

He's how you want me
to fix her good.

I will, oh, I promise.

He's how I'll fix Miss Norton
really good.

Forever.

Deke, gonna be some fat canaries
in this town,

amount of birdseed them women's
been buying lately.

Ty get back from Basin City yet?

No, but he will be soon.

Maybe, uh, suppertime.

Reckon he found out about him
and her in the schoolhouse barn?

No, but he will as soon
as he gets back.

Wait'll he hears about that
meeting they're having tonight.

He'll know then.

And, man, look out.
There's gonna be fireworks.

Jenny, you, uh,
surprised me.

There were people out front
so I snuck in back

so nobody'd know
I was here.

Oh. Well, what can I do
for you?

I need you
to help me.

All right.

My teacher...

she's awful mad at me.

Oh, I don't think Miss Norton's
really mad at you, Jenny.

Well, anyhow,

you go to the library,
don't you?

Yeah, sometimes.

Well, could you take
something back for me?

You could say you just found it
someplace and brought it back.

Then maybe she'd like me better.

'Cause it's been gone
a long, long time.

It's a book.

Well, yeah, I could
take it back, Jenny,

but wouldn't it be better
if you took it back?

Then she'd know I stole-

I mean, then she'd think
I stole it.

Well, all right, Jenny.

Can you take it this afternoon?

Well, I can take it right now.

I'm just closing up.

I have to hurry.

It's the regular Thursday
meeting of the board,

but we plan a little
special discussion.

That's why my husband
sent the note.

'Course, if you've got
something else to do,

you don't have to come.

No, no, I'll-

I'll be there.

We'll look forward
to it then.

Ladies.

I brought you a book.

There's nothing as badly timed
as a badly timed entrance.

Well, I guess my time
has run out here, Mr. Fowler.

Well,
you saw the ladies.

Mrs. William Sturgis,
no less.

Oh, her husband is chairman
of the Board of Elders.

Y-you know of course, that they
meet every Thursday evening,

and they- They want me
to be there this evening.

What for?

Oh, just a friendly,
cordial, impossible chat

about my being whatever
they think I am.

Well, what do they think
you are?

This is the fourth town
I've tried, Mr. Fowler.

Well, they always have a name
for me:

"Worldly." "Sophisticated."
"City girl."

And there's always a man
like Mr. Tyson.

Oh, Mr. Tyson.

Mr. Tyson has ideas, you know.

Probably some
of the married ones too.

You might as well
face the facts.

You're an attractive woman.

Attractive enough to raise
the temperatures

of most of the healthy males
in this town,

so you've got to expect
the women's eyebrows to go up.

I don't care
about the eyebrows.

It's the 30-day notice
that I resent.

And then having to look
for another town.

Why don't you fight back?

I came here to teach
the children,

not to fight their parents.

And I'm a good teacher,
Mr. Fowler.

I believe that.

They need a good teacher
here in Hainesville.

Maybe, uh...

Maybe you just have to learn
how to fit into a small town.

I was born in a small town
just like this one.

I left it. I traveled.

I went to school.

I was looking
for something...noble.

And then I met this man.

Oh, I'm- I'm sure you've heard
the rest of that before.

Nothing serious.

J-just heartbreaking.

You know what my friends
used to-?

Used to tell me in New York?

They used to say, "Emily,

"you can take the girl
out of the small town,

"but you can't take
the small town out-

Out of the girl."

Oh, I didn't belong in New York.

I could never
find myself there.

But I don't belong here either,
that's for sure.

Miss Norton, stop feeling
sorry for yourself.

We've all got troubles.

So you went to the big city.
Now you're back.

Just don't accept
a 30-day notice.

Teaching is your job.
Why don't you fight for it?

Hi.
Hi.

Get all your business
taken care of?

Not quite.

You didn't miss anything
around here.

That's right, 'cause it hasn't
happened yet. Has it, boys?

No, not quite.

But you do remember my warning
you not to try to beat my time

with Emily Norton,
don't you?

I-I didn't think you were afraid
of competition from me.

Old Sailor's tickled.
He thinks I'm gonna hit you

right in the mouth.

Wouldn't be so funny,
would it?

I ain't afraid of competition,
Brains.

I just wanna see
if I got some.

See, I never listen to gossip,
so I let you alone.

But I know you just come
from the library...

...so I say if we're
gonna compete, let's compete.

Ooh-whee! Look at him come.

Oooh!

Ha, you got him, Ty.
You got him.

What's goin' on here?
Come on, break it up.

Let me through.

How come you're down?
Hold on.

Aw, McNary, ain't you got
no sense of fair play?

Hold it, mac.

There's no hard feelings,
Brains.

But since your little romance
here is over,

you stay away from that
schoolhouse and that teacher.

Even find yourself another job,
'cause you're fired.

Meanwhile, you just stay
off the streets of Hainesville

and outta my sight.

Yeah, yeah, that's right,
sheriff.

Huh?

Well,
I'll be darned.

I'm much obliged to you.

The sheriff says you was lying
about your references.

That job you said you had up in
Sandville before you come here?

All right. So?

So you ain't done
nothin' wrong here.

I got nothin' against you
so long as you don't

stir up this town any more
than it is right now.

But, Fowler,

there's a bus through here
at 9:00 tonight.

Now, I got to face that crowd
down at the church,

and I'd just rather tell 'em

that you was on that bus
and gone.

That way, it'll be better for
you, better for the girl

and about the only way I'll get
this town back to normal.

Wait a minute, uh, what crowd?
What are you talking about?

The meeting of the board.

They got Miss Norton
in there now,

on account of her sneakin' off
into the barn with you

or some such of a thing.

Sneak-?

What are you talking about?

About half the town is down
there now at the church,

talkin' about what Tyson
done to you.

Now, it looks bad enough for her
no matter where you're at,

but the further away you are,
the better.

Believe me, now, come on.

Wait a minute.

McNary, McNary,
they're wrong about her.

Well, then let her
tell 'em that.

They already got the one version
from Mrs. Ammory and Jenny.

Come on.
Jenny Ammory?

Yeah, sure.

Now, are we goin' down
to that station

or you gonna tangle
with the county sheriff?

What's gonna happen
to Miss Norton

if I run out on her?

McNary, I'll be on the bus
at 9:00.

First I'm going over
to that meeting house.

You coming with me?
Yeah.

And then
to the bus station.

We do not want
this sort of thing going on

under the very noses
of our innocent children,

Mr. Chairman,
isn't that right?

We've gotta do
something.

Mrs. Ammory.

Please be seated.

Now...

Now, Miss Norton,

you, uh...

You were seen
in the barn, there.

You understand, of course,

these aren't charges
or accusations-

Not accusations?

Well, then what are they?

Trying to drive me out of my job
with rumors?

Well, I- I- I won't let you
say it.

They're simply not true.

You callin'
'em lies?

Mr. Chairman, your own wife
saw him come there to visit,

while we was there.

That's right.

In the public library.
In public.

Well, there he is
right now.

Please, please, folks.

Take your seats.

Mr. Sturgis, Mr. Fowler here's
got somethin' to say.

Mr. Fowler?

Hi, Jenny.

Sir, um...

Ladies
and gentlemen,

I'm leaving town.

About time.

And I'd like to help clear up
this thing before I go.

I'm sure none of you
wanna make a mistake.

I understand there's some
charges against Miss Norton.

Ah, listen to him.
Listen to what he's sayin'.

No, Mr. Fowler.

No charges.

But there is a report
that, uh... Well...

Well, that's what I mean,
I think.

Jenny, uh,
told you

that, uh, we were
in the barn,

Miss Norton and me.
That's right.

Well, I was wondering where
the other witnesses were.

Other witnesses,
Mr. Fowler?

What are you talkin' about?
What other witnesses...?

What's he mean?

You remember,
Jenny?

You don't have to say nothin',
Jenny, love.

Then why'd you bring her here?

Hush.

Now, Jenny,
you, uh...

The little boy.

Don't you think
he ought to be here?

Jenny, remember, he was playing
with another boy.

They were playing
cops and robbers or something.

Miss Norton told them they
weren't permitted

to play in the barn.

Well, maybe you couldn't
see them, Jenny,

because you were hiding
in the barn

and we were over by the truck.

Well...

anyhow,
the truck was...

I mean...

What's the name
of the little boy?

Marvin Sturgis.

Marvin?

My son was there?

Yes, Mr. Sturgis.

Is he coming down here?

Certainly not.

I don't want him
involved in this.

Involved in what,
Mrs. Sturgis?

This. This-
This what?

It was so unimportant
to your son,

he didn't even think
to mention it to you.

Jenny.

Jenny, were you lying?

Mama.

Mama.

You never lied to Mama,
did you, Jenny?

You ask your son and some
of the other children.

There were quite a few around.

Take the trouble to put together
the facts.

You'll come up with the truth.

You did lie to Mama,
didn't you?

You lied to Mama and made her
look the fool.

I'm gonna have to whip you
for this, Jenny.

I'm gonna have
to whip you good.

Get away from me!
Get away!

Oh, Mama.
Oh, Mama.

I-I- I'm sorry
I lied.

I'm sorry.

I-I was scared of him.
I-I was scared.

Because what
really happened was,

that man chased me.
What?

That man chased me through
the woods and he tore my dress!

Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman.

Jenny, um...

let's start at the beginning.

And if...

one of us
makes a mistake,

the other'll correct it,
all right?

You scared me.

You know you did.

Jenny, I may have scared you,

but that's not the same
as chasing you.

You scared me and then you
chased me into the woods.

And now you're calling me
a liar.

No, I'm not,
Jenny. I...

It's just...

that when people are scared,
they sometimes get mixed up.

I know I do.

And, Jenny, I'm scared now.
I need your help.

Then you shouldn't have
chased me

and made me
tear my dress.

Her dress was tore.
I remember that.

Had to mend it myself.

Jenny, why did I follow you
into the woods?

Wasn't it to do you
a sort of favor?

No, no, no!

What do you mean,
followed her into the woods?

Mrs. Ammory,
I never denied that.

I-I may have
scared her, but-

Oh, not now, you ain't.

I never have.

Oh, yes, you did.

Didn't you come to-?

To pick up
a load of wood this mornin'?

And didn't I ask you
had you seen my Jenny?

You said you didn't.

You told me that
to my face.

You said you had
never seen my Jenny.

There was a reason.

I'll bet
there was.

You stay there, Fowler.
This man's under arrest.

Come on!

Time comes, I'd-
I'd really like to know

what happened
in that barn

to make her tell
a story like that.

Oh, Miss Norton, if I was wrong,
I'll be the first one to say so.

Please, Mrs. Ammory,
w-would you sit down?

I'd like to talk to Jenny,
if I may.

Well, all right.

Go on, Jenny.

Come on, dear.
Sit over here.

Now, Jenny,

I want you
to think very seriously

about what you've seen,
not what you've heard.

A man who-
Who really doesn't know me

and who certainly didn't have
to expose himself to help me...

Jenny, this man
is in terrible danger.

Do you remember I told you
that was a dangerous story?

What story? When?
This morning.

Jenny was late for school
without her homework.

Oh, Jenny.

He... He made me lose
my homework.

Well, you never
told Mama.

Hold on.

Well, why would you tell
the teacher

when you wouldn't tell
your own mama?

Eh, shut up a minute.

Jenny...

didn't you tell me
this morning

you never done
your homework?

Jenny?

Jenny,
you come back here!

All right. Come on,
better get your guns, boys.

We'll flush him
outta the woods.

Oh, Naiad, please, please.

Oh, Naiad, please.

Ma and Dad,
they're awful mad at me.

They're awful mad.

Mama's- She's gonna whip me

on account of me lyin'
about Mr. Fowler.

You have to help me.
You have to.

Jenny, if you scream,
those men'll kill me.

Thank you, Jenny.

Now you're scared too.

I told you that at the church.

Now you're really scared.

Jenny, will you help me?

Jenny, I...

I've never done anything
bad to you, you know that.

You helped Miss Norton.

You can't be my friend
and her friend too.

She hates me.

She doesn't hate you, Jenny.

She's got my ma and pa
on her side.

They all hate me.

You mean you haven't got
any friends?

My Naiad is my friend.

Well, didn't...?

Didn't she tell you
I wanted to be your friend too?

No!

Well, now...

why not?

Why didn't you tell her-?
Tell her the truth?

You're a very bad friend.
She is not!

But, Jenny, she...

She makes everyone say
that you're a liar,

and she makes you late
for school, and...

And she gets you into trouble.

She does not!

All right, Naiad.

You get Jenny out of this.

You get her out of it right now.

She can't.

She's only a doll.

You see, Jenny, we have
to help each other.

We're both in trouble.

Fowler.

Get away from that girl.

Hey, everybody!
I found him.

At the mill-pond.

Jenny. Jenny.

Quit talkin' to her.

Get out of the way, child.

No, don't. No, don't.

He didn't do anything.

Don't kill him,
please.

Step aside, honey.

Now, Jenny.

Leave him alone!

He never did anything.
Don't kill him, please.

He never chased me.
I lied. I lied.

I lied.

All right, folks, I believe
we can all go home now.

Good morning, teacher.
Good morning.

Hi, teacher.
Good morning.

Well, I know Miss Norton
feels alone.

I know she needs
a friend.

Do I have to?

No, you don't have to.

You don't have to take
those books back.

That was your idea.

You see,
you were, uh...

such a good friend to me
last night.

Well, I thought you might
come up with some idea

of how to help her too.

They've been gone
a long, long time.

I'm tired of 'em
anyhow.

Maybe there are some different
ones you'd like to read.

Come on.

Give you a lift
into town?

Bus station?

Thank you.

Get in.

Next town you decide
to settle down in,

you need some references,
you call on me.

I'll be proud to oblige you.

This is Jim Fowler,
about to die.

He will last long enough

to take the bus
out of Hainesville, Missouri,

and then a new identity
must emerge.

A new identity to hide
the path of his flight,

and the path of his search
for the man

whose crime has made
Richard Kimble

The Fugitive.

doctor of medicine.

Destination:

Richard Kimble
has been tried and convicted

for the murder of his wife.

But laws are made by men,
carried out by men.

Proved guilty,

what Richard Kimble
could not prove

he encountered a man running
from the vicinity of his home.

A man who has not yet
been found.

as he looks at the world
for the last time

and sees only darkness.

fate moves its huge hand.

ANNOUNCER:

A QM production.

with guest stars:

Frank Sutton,

R.G. Armstrong.

What used to be a town
before the coal mine gave out.

eight months a fugitive.

Is there a bus
through here?

Whiskey?

Talking to me?

Where you headin'?

North.

No place special
or nothin'?

What's the idea?
You wanna break up the game?

Come on,
I'm good for it.

You better hightail it
someplace else.

Plan to,
soon as I can get a lift.

How much money
you got?

I heard you.

Enough to get me
where I'm going.

North.

Got enough money
to buy me a beer?

You gonna
buy me a beer?

Just leaving.

You mind?

Why, you big jerk.

Hey.

Come on, will ya?

Who started it?

Look,
it's not very funny.

Oh, now, wait a minute-
Let's go.

Look, I didn't start this.

I don't even know those fellas.

You gonna live?

Yeah.

Four days to Saturday.

He say where he was from?

No driver's license.

You're gonna have to find
the next of kin.

That's his.

That is his.

No letters.

Just have to wait
till he wakes up, I guess.

he ain't the kind
that'd talk much.

might as well
draw me a beer.

Almost pays
for the nuisance.

Looks like you lost
yourself a chicken.

Take South Street.

No, he ain't nowhere
back there.

Sure had a bur
under his tail.

Just picked up
for fightin'.

He took off like the place
smelled of skunk.

It does.

Tell George to run
this over to Bluefield.

Take off any prints
and put 'em on the wire.

Tonight.

You got it.

How long
would you be gone?

Couple of days.

Phil,

they lost him.

You might be going
down there for nothing.

I hope not, captain.

So do I.

So do I.

You sure it was worth it
to bring them dogs up?

The worst you could've done was
fine him just a couple bucks.

It's important enough
for him to run,

it's important enough
for me to find him.

What time you want
the truck back?

Uh, couple hours,
I'd say.

That means I gotta go down
and come back up again.

That costs you
another couple of bucks.

Up and down
is two bucks.

One time or a dozen.

Supposin' we just
make it the once.

I ain't gonna
just hang around out here.

Not unless I deputize you.

And I deputize you.

Drive on up above
and take a look.

If you see anything,
haul tail right back.

Now get.

Coy,

put your dogs
to workin'.

I got this
out of his bag.

Here.

Stop.

Boy, I never seen a man
so pure mean.

What are you tryin' to do,
kill me or somethin'?

You were following me.

I was no such thing.

I was just walkin' along.

I been walkin' this mountain
my whole life.

Just so happened I was walkin'
the same way as you.

You all right?

Well, sure.

Little hill like that?

I mean, I slid down
twice the size.

Come on,
I'll help you up.

Well, you better help
yourself up.

From the looks of yourself,
well, you're gonna need it too.

Oh, that must be
two miles up,

the least.

Mountain does that.

It plays tricks on ya.

That's the same
with them dogs.

They must be five miles
down the valley.

I was you,
I wouldn't worry none.

Who said I was worried?

Jesse Hobart came up
to the house this mornin'.

He said, uh,

some fella run out
on the sheriff.

Some fella that,
uh, he picked up

for fightin' last night.

Oh, uh,

it was a city feller.

I'll race you to the top.

Oh. Twice in one day.

That would've been somethin'.

You headin'
over the mountain?

Maybe.

I figured.

Wouldn't nobody wanna
stay this side.

I'll show you the way.

That's the third time
they've brung us

right up to the water.

Oh, he musta crossed.

Ain't no dog
in the world

can track a man
through water.

Them dogs couldn't
track a bear

through a flour mill.

Five lousy bucks a day
for nothin'.

Day's not over yet.

There ain't nobody home
except Grams.

She'd be proud
to have you stay and eat.

You wanna go hungry?

Sheriff must be kinda mad
at that fella.

I mean, just gettin'
the dogs out and all.

He's gonna find you too,

unless you get
some help.

I know every foot
of this mountain.

I could show you the way.

After you eat.

Grams!

Hey, Grams.

Grams,

we got us company.

This here is Mister.

He's gonna sit
and eat.

It's a good 60 miles.

A trip like that costs money.

How much?

Hundred and 50.

I'll give you a hundred.
How soon can we leave?

Let's go.

You can't hold a feller
like that.

You can't keep him
for a pet

like he was a rabbit
or somethin'.

Well, I found him.

Ain't nobody gonna
take him away.

Child.

Oh, you rather give him
to Coy Peters' dogs?

I warn you.

You scare him off,

and I'll sit you down
on your skinny old shanks.

Grams,

uh,

when I get him
cleaned up, uh,

he's gonna
be pure pretty.

You won't find anything
in that.

No, there ain't
nothin' in it,

so there's
no harm done.

You ain't gonna go.

Mister,

you ain't gonna
get far,

not knowin' the way.

And them dogs.

Only chance you got
is if I help you out.

I- I can do it,
Mister.

I can-
I can get you clear.

You keep saying that.

But I mean it.

I know this mountain like I-

So you know what?

We could use a truck.

Yeah, we, uh-
We got this old pickup truck.

It's up the loggin' camp
right now.

Ames Woodruff,

he asked could he
borrow it for the day.

All you gotta do
is just, uh,

wait for the truck.

You know, you just sit
and eat. Heh.

I got side meat.

Fresh bread and gravy.

Well, when will
the truck be back?

Well, real soon,

that's for sure.

'Cause, uh, Ames Woodruff,

he don't like
to work past noon.

You're Sheriff Bradley?

That's right.

I stopped in town.

I'm counting on you
to find this man.

I've come a long way
to get him.

Lieutenant.

One of them
flyin' grasshoppers.

They must want him
real bad.

I want him,

as you put it,

real bad.

I swear, I never did see
a man eat so clean.

Where you from,
Mister?

Lot of places.

Yeah, well,
I was just askin' for one.

You said the truck
could be back?

Yeah, well, uh,
Ames Woodruff must've stopped

to jaw with Miss Keel.

See, her old man's up
in Clarksburg,

uh, lookin' for a job.

She and Ames used
to be real close

till she got married.

I guess maybe
they still are.

Well, you ain't got
the sense

God gave a beetle.

If Ames Woodruff, uh,
gets one look at you,

he's gonna tell it
all over the mountain.

Now, you-
You just stay outta sight.

She had her way,
she'd keep you here.

I guess you know that.

I told her.

Fella like you...

wasn't even a chance.

Make more sense,
did you take her along.

You mean, y-you'd just
pack her away

with any man
that's willing?

No matter who or what?

Matters aplenty.

Been lots of men
willing and anxious,

but since the mines closed,

all we got is
the Del Jackson kind.

None of your style.

Seen how she been
lookin' at you.

Wouldn't have
to be ashamed of her.

She can be real handsome
in a dress.

Mister,

I ain't got
much time left.

If I just knowed she was
down off this mountain...

Hey, Cassie!

I got somethin'
to show ya.

I just been deputized.

Oh, they swearin' in fools
and jackasses now?

You just ain't got
no respect for the law.

Hey, Grams!
She ain't here.

She ain't here?
She ain't here.

Said she went out
to pick us some berries.

She must've just knowed
I was comin' by.

You see any weasel traps around?

You been deputized.
Deputy, go.

Grams!
I told ya,

she ain't here.

Well, I know she ain't here.

I just wanna
get me some coffee.

We ain't got none.
We didn't make none today.

That's the first thing
a person does in the morning.

Are you sure you ain't got
some other reason?

Like what?

Well, like,

maybe you got some company.

Like that fella
the sheriff's lookin' for?

I told you
once and for all

that she ain't here.

She don't need no help.

You ornery little-

Now, Del,

you back off.

You climb in that jeep

and get outta here.

Go on!

Well, that's Del Jackson.

He stops by sometimes.

More than
Ames Woodruff, huh?

Yeah, well, it ain't
the same thing.

Oh, no,
it isn't the same,

because there is no
Ames Woodruff.

'Cause he isn't bringing
a truck back,

because there is
no truck,

because you're lying
to me.

Thanks a lot
for the food.

Mister, Mister,

uh, you can't
just walk out.

No, I'm supposed to stay here
till he comes back.

Yeah, well,
you can't make it alone.

I know.

Yeah, there's no question
I was lyin',

yet I was just tryin'
to help.

I was just tryin'
to keep you here

until they pulled
them dogs out.

Thank you.

Mister, that mountain's
pure mean.

Now, there are
10,000 ways

to get yourself lost.

Now, you gotta believe me,
there are things a lot worse

than gettin' took by them dogs.

Now, I can get you
to the top,

and the other side's easy.

And I can show you
how to lose them dogs.

She could.

Lost him again.

Dogs lost him.

Can't expect them
to track through water.

Do we need the dogs?

He crossed somewhere
and headed up the mountain.

An instinct
as old as life itself.

A hunted animal
always runs up.

Hey, sheriff!

Sheriff.

I found him, sheriff.
I found him for you.

Where?

This is Gerard,
police lieutenant.

He's after him too.
Where is he?

Up there,
the Boland's place.

They're kin to me.

Cabin near
the old mines.

Did you see him?

Well, no,
I didn't see him, exactly.

Sheriff,

he's up there
and that's for sure.

And Cassie Boland's
hidin' him out.

How do you know?

She wouldn't even let me
past the front door.

If I was her,
I wouldn't either.

I'm tellin' you, sheriff,
she shooed me off with a gun.

And look at what
she did to me,

she sank half-inch of teeth
in my hand.

She do that today too?

No, that's last week.

It's worth checking out.

How long will it take?

Ten minutes in the jeep.

And warnin' him all the way too,
if he is up there.

Every time that old
junk pile jounces-

Any other way
to get up there?

Straight up
the mountain.

Do you think
you can make it?

I'll make it.

You must want him bad.

Coy,

you can rest the dogs
in the jeep

and bring 'em up
in a couple hours.

I'm gonna go around
and cover the back, yeah?

Yeah.

You wait here.

Jackson said
there was a gun.

Okay.

I'll go in first.

Why?

Because it's my job
to go in first,

not that I don't respect
your authority.

Try respecting
my intelligence too.

I respect your gumption.

You got plenty of that.

Sure messin' up
that fancy suit, ain't you?

Maybe next time
you'll wear Levi's.

If I'm right, sheriff,
there won't be any next time.

If you're right,
and I ain't sayin' you ain't,

you better cover me
when I hit that door.

What in the name
of the seven sins?!

Del Jackson said
there was a feller here,

Miss Boland.

Ain't no young feller been here

unless I'm blind.

Where's the girl?

Your granddaughter?

I don't see as you got
the right to ask.

Miss Boland, Del said that-

You wanna ask,
that's different, Sam.

Cassie went out
to pick us some berries.

Where?

Where?

Anywhere there's berries
to be found.

Could be anyplace
on this whole mountain.

Sorry to have troubled you,
Miss Boland.

That's not gonna
give much light.

Ah, it'll give lots more
than light.

As long as this burns,
you know the air is good.

I guess that's somethin'
they don't teach you

in the city, huh?

Be pretty risky,
these old tunnels.

Timbers rottin'.

Ain't nobody been in 'em
since the mines gave out.

Except me. I-

I come up here
all the time.

One tunnel running
out of another.

Oh, you get lost,

you'll be in here
a hundred years.

One of these go
through to the other side?

Well, sure.

That's how
I'm gonna get you out.

Half a day lost.

Well, maybe not.

She said, "young fella."

Now, how would
she know that?

Somebody washed up.

That's not unknown,
even here, lieutenant.

Not too long ago either.

What's the matter?

It's dry.

They didn't use a towel.

Now, what sort of man
wouldn't use a rag like this?

A man who expects
a towel to be clean?

A special kind
of man?

A doctor, maybe?

Any idea which way
they'd go?

Well, like you said,
lieutenant,

up.

Mister, h-hey.

I should've told you.

Them shorings
are loose.

Oh, you just
touch 'em,

and they'd maybe
come right down.

See how easy
you can get lost?

Cassie, stop playing games
with me.

Y-you said you'd get me
to the other side.

And I said it
and I meant it,

and I'm goin' to.

I- I just wanna
ask you somethin' first.

All right.

A man can get tired

runnin' alone.

You want to go along.

I won't be no worry to you.

I wouldn't hold you back none.

Cassie,
you're holding me back now.

If you don't quit,
you might as well

just hand me
over to the sheriff.

Oh, you're still
sweatin' about him?

Sheriff ain't gonna
find you here.

See, you-

You believe me,
don't you?

Is there any reason
why I should?

Well, sure.

Don't nobody know

this old cave except me.

I come up here sometimes

just to sit.

You know,

uh, what I call it?

I bet you wouldn't guess
in ten hundred years.

The dreamin' room.

Now, I bet you-

You think that's
pure foolish.

A grown girl dreamin'.

Guess it depends on

what she dreams about.

Well, lots of things,

but mostly gettin' down
off this mountain.

One of them tunnels
goes clear through.

You come out
on the other side,

and you can see the road,

white and narrow like a,
uh, fresh-washed ribbon,

twistin' and turnin'
all the way down,

then kinda hurryin'
straight across the valley,

like it just
plain can't wait

to get to the city.

If you could know

how often
I took that road.

Just, uh, dreamin',
I mean.

Doesn't have to be a dream,
Cassie.

That's what
Grams says.

She run away to Nashville once,
she stayed two years.

Came back just before
my pa was born.

Takes a lot of gumption,

to go down there alone.

I wouldn't know, uh,

which foot to set
in front of the other.

Unless somebody

took me along
and showed me.

Cassie,

I can't.

I wouldn't be
in your way.

And there-

There wouldn't be nothin'
I wouldn't do.

I'm sorry, Cassie.

Well, I mean,

can't hardly blame you.

A fella like you
and somethin' like me.

Somethin' you could've

picked off a berry bush,

walkin' down
a city street,

folks lookin'
and whisperin',

and maybe laughin'
behind their hands.

Anywhere, any city in the world,
I'd walk with you.

I'd be proud to.

But I can't.

You know I can't.
You know I'm running.

Just for fightin',

I mean,
that ain't nothin'.

You can go back
and sit in jail

for a couple of days.

And that pays 'em back
and then you-

You can stop runnin'.

There's somethin' more?

Yeah, a lot more.

You did somethin' bad?

They say I did.

They say I killed
somebody.

You didn't?

No, but I can't prove
that I didn't.

That wouldn't be much
of a life for you, would it?

Always on the go.

Always looking back.

You'd never know
who'd step out of a doorway,

sit beside you on a bus
or in a restaurant.

I don't care.

I do.

Yeah, well, it, uh,

seemed like
a kinda good idea.

Cassie, listen to me.

Now, just don't say anything.
Just listen to me.

You can get down
off of this mountain,

and you don't need me.

You don't need
anybody.

All you need is something
to get you started,

and you've got that.

You want to go.

It's-

It's just all in yourself.

The wanting to go,
that's all you need.

You understand?

So...

just pick up that ribbon

and follow it down.

Promise?

I guess you'd better
show me that tunnel.

It's down this way.

Jesse, fire up
that lantern.

Not even
a decent light.

We're lucky the old woman
even gave us this.

Well, this-

Here's the one.

Goes all the way through.

Gonna be hard to find him,
lieutenant.

Must be a dozen tunnels
branching off of the main one.

Smaller tunnels
branching off of them.

You run.

I'll hold 'em back.

Go on.

Uh, sheriff's kin to me,

he won't do me no harm.

Go on.

You say one of these
goes all the way through?

Yeah.

Question is,
which one?

Mr. Bradley!

Mr. Bradley,

you lookin'
for somebody?

You know who we're
lookin' for, Cassie.

I reckon I don't,
unless you tell me.

The feller that got away
from me last night.

That's him.

Where is he?

Where is he?

You think I found me
somethin' like this,

I'd let him get away?

No use foolin' with her,
we got him cooped up.

He can't get out
on this side.

What about
the other side?

There's not but one tunnel.

I'll phone Barlow Springs
and have 'em close it.

I'd better see if Jackson's
come up with the jeep.

Run, Mister, run!

Run, Mister, run!

Plenty enough air
coming in.

It's a question
of diggin' out is all.

I'd say,

six or seven hours.

And if the others
find us?

Maybe two or three.

He could be halfway across
the next state by then.

Ain't a bad place.

You get used to it.

And kind of a nice room
for dreamin'.

We got kin in Wheeling,

the Iversons,

if you find
you need some help.

I don't need no help.

Not them,

not nobody.

You just remember that.

You don't need nobody.

Above the mountain,

leaving it far below
and behind him,

Lieutenant Philip Gerard
returns home

without the man
he had come to find

and recapture.

The other side
of the mountain...

of many mountains.

A road twisting and turning
into the future,

without promise,

without assurance for the man
who must always go alone.

Richard Kimble,

fugitive.
