was that moments beforediscovering

his murdered wife's body,

he saw a one-armed man running from the vicinity of his home.

Richard Kimble ponders his fate

as he looks at the world for the last time...

and sees only darkness.

But in that darkness,

fate moves its huge hand.

ANNOUNCER:

( slow, dramatic theme playing )

NARRATOR: For Richard Kimble,

a thousand names, a thousand jobs.

Here, he is Johnny Sherman, warehouse worker.

And as always, for a fugitive, the load is a heavy one.

Why you don't look where you're pushing, huh?

Little brother.

Why always you take such a big load?

To make us look bad, huh?

I wouldn't have to try hard.

Maybe you're trying for a punch in the mouth, huh?

Okay, Nicky, tonight after work.

No. Right now.

( dramatic theme playing ) Hey, look out.

Hey, hey.

What's going on here?

No fighting in my place.

What's the matter, Johnny?

They make trouble for you?

It's nothing, Gus.

Yeah?

I know this guy.

He's panourgos.

You load him up, huh?

You give him the business.

Look, I can handle it, Gus.

Now you're going to unload it yourself.

Go on. Push!

All right. All right.

Now, beat it!

You're getting paid to work.

Yeah.

( coughs )

How can I stop them from picking on you?

Well, you can start by not calling me "little brother."

Oh. It's not my fault if you look like my brother.

Now, Gus, you haven't seen your brother in 20 years.

But I know.

I know a lot of things. ( whistle blows )

I know it's time to eat.

( coughs )

Eat mine too.

I gotta go.

Where?

Little brother should not ask

too many questions.

See you tonight.

Uh, drink my wine.

It's good for you.

( lighthearted theme playing )

Sophie.

What's your hurry?

Have you seen Gus?

Gus who?

Now, how many Guses do you know?

Well, one, two, three, four--

That one.

Oh. The one that says

he's gonna marry me.

Yeah, he left work early today.

I thought you might know where he is.

I know where he ain't.

He ain't waiting at the church.

Thank you.

( slow, sedate theme playing )

( grunts )

You left the door open.

I have to be more careful.

Not bad.

Gus' skin is like sandpaper.

He's old.

Yeah, he's old.

Ever seen him wrestle those wine casks?

Probably break me in two, Sophie.

If he ever caught you.

( sprays soda )

Feels good?

Yeah, it feels good.

Little brother's scared?

You're Gus' girl.

You can't forget that?

Now, don't you.

Gus went to the doctor's today.

What for?

I don't know.

Hey, where are you going?

To see Gus. Close the door when you leave.

( gloomy theme playing )

( glass shattering )

( clattering )

( crying )

( gasps )

( coughing )

( dramatic theme playing )

( door closes )

Where is he? On the roof.

Gus?!

( clattering )

Gus!

Go away, Johnny.

Go away.

Crazy old Greek.

What are you trying to do anyway?

Please go away, Johnny.

You made a pretty big mess downstairs.

You wreck a place, you...

You wreck it good.

Turn around, Johnny.

I don't want you to see.

I wanna say goodbye.

Goodbye, Johnny. Hey.

( grunting )

Let me go!

Let me go!

Let me go.

Let me go.

Come on. Climb up, Gus! I can't hold you!

Then let me go.

I'm not gonna let you go.

Now, help me. Now, come on. Climb up. I can't hold you.

( grunting ): No. No.

( dramatic theme playing )

( crowd chattering )

Johnny. Let me go, Johnny.

If you go, I'll go with you!

No, Johnny.

No, Johnny.

Then help me, Gus. Climb up.

Come on. Help me.

( dramatic theme playing )

( coughing )

( grunts )

Now I gotta do it all over again, Johnny.

Why?

I got six months.

What do you mean, six months?

The doctor says he can't do anything.

No medicine...

no operation.

Nothing.

( pounds fist into hand )

Look at this.

Look at it.

Strong like a bull.

I work hard every day.

I drink a barrel of wine.

I grab a pretty girl at night.

And it means nothing.

Nothing.

Because inside here...

it's all rotten.

Rotten! ( grunts )

Gus.

Johnny...

I am nothing.

My whole life wasted.

Now, that's crazy, Gus.

My whole life.

Never have I done one great thing.

Never.

Johnny, you tell me.

You tell me how I get ready to die.

I wish I knew, Gus.

You know, Johnny.

You live like this a long time now.

I never told you, but, uh,

I know who you are.

What's the matter?

Did I say the wrong thing?

I didn't mean it, Johnny. It just came out that way.

I know you gotta run.

I know that.

But not now, Johnny.

I need you.

Johnny.

Just a little while, huh?

( slow, dramatic theme playing )

Okay, Gus.

A little while.

( slow, dramatic theme playing )

Hey, Sophie.

Somebody said Gus was gonna jump off the roof.

No. He just make big noise.

Uh, I better go on up anyway.

Well, it's too hot to climb stairs.

You want a bottle of soda?

Lemon, strawberry.

Well, strawberry.

It's all over upstairs anyway.

Come on.

How long have you known about me?

First week you came here.

These magazines...

I read 'em all the time.

I said to myself this is another man.

It just looks like him.

It's hard on me, Johnny.

I look at you and...

it's like my brother.

I look that much like him, Gus?

No. But he's gotta run like you.

From the police?

No.

From the Nazis.

He runs up in the hills...

and he fights.

He's only a kid.

And he dies.

I wish I'd never seen this.

I'm afraid, Johnny.

All the time I'm afraid, I swear.

( kisses )

I don't even drink anymore.

I'm afraid to get drunk.

I'm afraid I'll talk.

For two months, I'm very careful.

I watch myself.

Now this.

Now I gotta get drunk.

I gotta get drunk, Johnny.

There's nothing else left.

I know, Gus.

Johnny...

you run away.

You go away from here, run.

Gus, you just asked me to stay a while.

Please.

Please, go away.

( slow, dramatic theme playing )

Go on.

Okay, Gus.

Good.

I wish I could change it for you, Gus.

Yeah.

( all laugh )

Old guy like him.

You need somebody young, like one of us.

( giggles )

Sophie.

Uh, beat it, boys. I hear a man talking.

Yeah.

I wanna talk to you about Gus.

Oh.

He's sick.

So? He went to the doctor's.

He's only got six months to live.

Maybe less.

He needs somebody to take care of him.

Not me. I'm not a nurse.

Well, you were willing to marry him.

I didn't know he was so sick.

It's only gonna be for a little while.

( blows bubbles )

Sophie, be nice to him. Let him die in peace.

You'd be a rich widow.

How rich?

About $8,000.

Saving the money to go back to Greece.

Eight thousand.

Yeah. Eight thousand dollars.

You can start by getting the place cleaned up.

( bottle smashes )

( somber theme playing )

( coughing )

Hi, Gus.

Would you like me to straighten things up a little bit?

( coughing )

Gus?

You still thinking about

going back to Greece?

No.

( dramatic theme playing )

Hello, Johnny.

Hey, what you doing?

You going away?

Yeah, you wanted me to, Gus.

No. I got a better idea. ( throws snap )

Johnny...

you going to fool that fellow.

You know the one that's in the magazine with you.

Lieutenant Gerard? Yeah.

He'll look for you...

but he'll never find you.

You know why?

No. Why, Gus?

Because you won't be here.

You'll be in Greece.

Greece? Yeah.

For a long time I talk, I say I'm going back.

I'm going back. But I never do.

Now you...

go for me, huh?

Oh, Gus. Uh...

What's the matter?

Money? Ahh.

I got plenty of money.

You know how much money I got?

Eight thousand dollars.

Oh, how did you know?

You got drunk one night. Heh.

Yeah. I get drunk and I talk all the time.

Hey, Johnny...

it's gonna be a joke on this fellow.

He's going to look for you here,

and you're going to be over there

having a good time.

Girls...

music...

wine, huh?

I can't, Gus.

There's something I've got to do.

Somebody I've got to find.

( sighs )

I thought I had a big idea.

( coughs ) Uh...

don't feel bad.

Wouldn't have worked anyway.

If you take my name? No.

Gerard would find out.

He's smart, Gus.

He's wrong, but he's smart.

He'd get extradition papers.

He'd come get me himself.

So...

So you run, like my brother,

and you hide in the hills.

Uh, in a country I don't know?

A language I don't speak?

I'd have a better chance here.

All right.

( coughs )

Thanks for...

letting me use your name. Uh--

I'd have been proud to wear it, Gus.

( melancholy theme playing )

I just wish there were some other way.

( coughs )

Yeah.

Hey.

I'm thinking.

We just let him think that you go.

Uh-- Uh--

Look, Gus, heh...

We'll talk about it. We'll have a drink and we'll talk, huh?

Look, Gus, uh-- One drink. Maybe two.

Come on.

It's hot. Don't you want a cold beer?

Huh?

Ha.

All right. You talked me into it.

( mysterious theme playing )

Sophie?

Go away. I'm busy.

Okay. You don't want to go with us.

Where you going?

Oh...down to beach maybe.

Maybe drink a little wine.

Dance.

But you're too busy.

Wait.

I can finish this tomorrow.

Look, Johnny...

I've lived a long time...

and I'm nothing.

I'm going to die...

and who's going to know about it?

Huh?

( piano music playing, people chattering )

One more apple falls off a tree.

Now I got a chance to do one good thing in my life.

All right...I'll die...

but it will mean something.

It's so easy, Johnny.

Look...

we use my passport, and we'll put your picture in.

You get the visa and the tickets.

And then we put my picture back.

I get on the plane and...

( makes whooshing sound )

...I'm gone.

Okay?

Okay.

We'll, um, check into a hotel tonight.

Where's your passport?

Under the bed...

in a box.

( coughing )

With the money.

I'll get it in the morning.

All yours, Johnny.

Yeah.

( tense theme playing )

( door opens )

No work today?

No.

Gus sick?

No. Gus isn't here. He won't be here anymore.

Then why did you have me clean up the mess?

Well, I thought he was coming back.

You mean, he ain't never coming back?

He ain't gonna marry me?

I'm sorry, Sophie. I was wrong.

Why do I always have to hear it from you?

Gus wants to get married, he doesn't wanna get married.

Why can't he tell me himself?

Where is he? I wanna talk to him.

You can't talk to him, Sophie.

He doesn't wanna talk to you.

He's going back to Greece.

He asked me to say goodbye for him.

Oh, just like that. Goodbye and good luck.

And what about the money, huh?

I'm sorry.

Well, who gets the money?

You?

You want the money, so you done something to him.

( unsettling theme playing )

( dramatic theme playing )

( dramatic theme playing )

Mr. Gus Priamos.

One-way tourist to Athens via Paris and Rome.

Flight 16, departs 5:35 this evening.

Please be out at the airport

an hour before flight time to check in.

That will be $358 and 60 cents.

Three hundred and, uh--

Here. Three-hundred-and- fifty-eight dollars, huh?

I'm sorry. I'm a little nervous.

It's first time I've ever flown.

Really?

Yeah, the highest I've ever been off the ground is a barstool.

I've flown to Europe three times.

It's easy.

Wanna come along and hold my hand?

Oh. I bet you say that to all the girls.

Just the pretty ones.

Finished with these? Yes.

And, uh, thank you, Mr. Priamos.

Thank you.

( whistling )

( starts engine )

Are you sure she's going to remember you?

Yeah, well, even pretty girls

don't get told they're pretty every day.

Huh.

You're still worried, huh?

Yeah, with a man like Gerard, you have to be.

We make him think I've gone to Greece using your name.

So he'll go to Greece looking for Gus Priamos.

He'll find Gus Priamos, and it'll be Gus Priamos.

I don't think so, Johnny.

When it gets worse here...

( slow, dramatic theme playing )

...I'll buy a little boat.

I sail out far.

Maybe a little too far, huh?

This fellow, Gerard, he'll never find nobody.

Gus.

Don't you feel sorry for Gus Priamos.

Nobody's gonna put me in no hospital.

Hm.

Hey. I gotta make a phone call.

I gotta tell 'em I saw this, uh--

This killer.

This fellow, Kimble. Heh.

I gotta tell 'em he's over at Gus Priamos' place.

Where Gerard comes and, uh,

he finds out

what we want him to find out.

Pretty smart, huh?

Phone booth up ahead. Yeah.

( gloomy theme playing )

( rings )

( pushes button )

Captain Carpenter.

I would like to talk to Lieutenant Gerard, please.

Lieutenant Gerard isn't here.

Be glad to take a message.

I'd like to talk to him.

It's about this fellow, uh, Kimble.

Kimble?

You have something on Kimble?

I sure have.

I'd like to say it to the lieutenant.

I'm afraid you'll have to say it to me.

Lieutenant Gerard's out of town.

SOPHIE: I never liked him,

right from the beginning.

So when I saw this picture, I called the cops.

You think he killed your friend, Priamos?

Sure he killed him.

Gus found out who he was, so he killed him.

He's been spotted before, and he didn't kill.

What do you mean, "didn't kill"? He killed his wife, didn't he?

The law says he did.

Okay. So if Gus ain't dead, where is he?

He hasn't been seen all day.

The car's gone, and the money's gone.

Where's the money? What money?

Gus had 8,000 bucks.

How would you know that? Because--

Because we were gonna get married, that's how.

He ever talk about going back to Greece?

All the time. It was just talk.

He never meant to go.

Think he could have killed him for the passport?

He's been running for two years.

That could change a man.

But why?

Why the passport if he had the car and $8,000?

( sighs ) This whole killing thing

is hard to buy.

From everything I can learn, they were friends.

Not no more.

They had a fight.

Well, Gus found out

I went into Johnny's room.

Johnny made me go.

Oh, sure.

( dials phones )

Is this Gus' handwriting?

I wouldn't know.

Hello. Who is this?

North Shore Clinic.

Uh, this is the police.

Will you check something for me, please?

I'd like to know if you've given

a smallpox vaccination

to a Gus Priamos recently.

Uh, Priamos.

P-R-I-A-M-O-S.

This morning?

Do you remember what he looked like?

About 35.

Dark.

Nice-looking.

Uh, thanks. Thanks very much.

A boat would be too slow.

Check out the airlines. Right.

One of them has a booking for Gus Priamos.

Find the person who sold him the ticket

and make an identification.

See that your men have pictures with them.

We've got no pictures of Priamos.

You've got pictures of Kimble.

( dramatic theme playing )

I keep thinking about it.

Keeps coming up in my throat.

Ah, you think too much.

If Gerard wasn't there, where is he?

Someplace.

What do you care?

He's going to get a message from the captain,

he's gonna come running like crazy.

And he's going to be late.

And you're on your way to Greece.

You're on your way to Greece.

Yeah.

But he thinks it's you.

Hey, Johnny.

We're here.

You know what to do, Gus.

You betcha.

Gus Priamos?

That's right.

Did you see this man?

I think so.

Yeah, I remember him.

His hair may have been a little darker.

Is that Mr. Priamos?

He smelled a trap. Can you block the exits?

I can try.

( coughing )

( car starts )

Johnny.

Johnny!

Johnny!

( tense theme playing )

Johnny. Gerard, he's here.

Run. You gotta run. Get in, Gus.

Oh, I think he just drove out.

( dramatic theme playing )

( dramatic theme playing )

( coughing )

How did he get here so fast, Johnny?

How? How?!

Now, don't talk, Gus. Save your strength.

I spoiled it for you, Johnny.

I spoiled it for you.

If you hadn't listened to me,

you would have been all right.

( sighs )

All I want is to do one good thing.

One big thing.

( coughing )

Take it easy, Gus.

Look, Gus, take it easy. ( sobbing )

Patrolman spotted the car.

Graham and Randolph.

They're heading for the waterfront.

They?

Says there are two in the car.

Maybe a hostage?

Maybe a friend.

I kept wondering why Kimble

would wanna catch that plane.

He's had plenty of chances to leave the country.

Why hasn't he?

Oh, he's got some idea he's looking for somebody.

Oh. Passport and all the rest

was just to throw us off.

Maybe.

May have planned to change places

with Priamos at the last minute.

They were friends, weren't they?

They had a fight. I told you.

You think I'm lying?

They'll be closing the net. We'd better get downtown.

What about me?

I'll get you a cab.

Oh, no, you don't. I'm going along.

I gotta get to Gus 'cause we're gonna get married.

You said he was dead.

Look, I've got some rights.

After all, I was the one who called you, wasn't I?

Yeah.

You were the one.

( somber theme playing )

Hey, Gus.

Come on, Gus.

Are we home, Johnny?

No, Gus.

I had to get off the streets.

We're in an alley over by the river.

Are they going to catch us?

Not a chance.

How do you feel?

Fine.

I feel all right. ( ferry whistle blows )

We're gonna have to get rid of the car.

We can take that ferry.

You'll have to walk a little.

I can't, Johnny.

Come on. I'll help you, Gus.

I can't.

I will only hold you back.

You gotta go alone, Johnny.

You got to. I'll stay here.

I'll make it.

I'll send you a postcard.

( tense theme playing )

I'm not gonna leave you like this, Gus.

Go.

Go on, Johnny. Run.

Go on, run.

( coughing )

( car doors close )

All right. Come on out of there.

There's supposed to be two of 'em.

You...where's your friend?

He's gone.

Run away.

How long ago?

Twenty minutes.

OFFICER 1: Come on. Don't give us that.

You haven't been here five.

We better call the other cars.

Right. Keep the alleyway blocked off.

Keep an eye on him.

I'll put it in on the squawk box.

( dramatic theme playing )

Varney Street. The, uh...

200 block.

( ferry whistle blows )

Did you get him? Kimble?

I don't know. We got one of 'em.

He's in the alley.

How much start did the other one have?

It's hard to say.

He wasn't in the car when we picked it up.

Well, we should have the block roped off by now.

Is this Priamos?

Priamos...

this is Lieutenant Gerard.

Can you hear me?

I wanna talk to you.

( raspy breathing )

If you'll just indicate yes or no.

Pretty cute. If he'd ever

gotten on that plane,

you'd have quit hunting for Kimble.

Maybe.

Well, he can't be far.

Gus?

Gus, it's me, Sophie.

Gee, I thought you were dead.

I thought Johnny killed you.

No.

Johnny is my friend.

So am I, Gus.

I'm your friend too, and...

I'm gonna take care of you

until you--

You know about it too?

Johnny told me.

He told me about the money too.

There is no money.

Forget it.

Forget it?

You mean he got it?

He got it from you? Now--

Where is he?

Where did he go, Gus?

You know, I'd bet

my mother's life you know.

No.

Well, he's your friend,

he'd tell you.

Where'd he go?

I don't know.

You do know. You do.

( ferry whistle blowing )

The ferry.

That's where he is. He's on the ferry.

You say one word...

I break your arm.

Break my arm?

You couldn't break a toothpick anymore.

But don't worry, I'll let you know

when they grab him.

No, Sophie.

Wait.

You want money?

I give you money.

In my belt.

Under the shirt.

Take it.

You promise.

You promise you won't say anything.

You tell nobody about the ferry.

You promise, huh?

We got a deal?

Sure, Gus.

We got a deal.

One good thing, Sophie.

One good thing you do in your life.

( tender theme playing )

I will remember you.

( slow, dramatic theme playing )

( slow, dramatic theme playing )

He's dead.

( sighs )

If I had gotten here sooner...

Just a few minutes.

Priamos must have known

where Kimble was heading.

If only I could have questioned him.

He wouldn't have told you.

He wouldn't even tell me.

( ferry whistle blows )

NARRATOR: The past two years have been an endless procession of names,

most of them forgotten.

But one name will be remembered.

For a fugitive is a lonely man.

And Gus Priamos has been a friend.
