Oh, don't bother, I can walk.
You paid for the lunch, you win yourself a chauffeur.
Okay.
Hey, mister, you know where the johnson house is? No, I'm a stranger in town.
Oh, that's too bad.
Thanks, anyway.
Don't complain.
There's much worse assignments than parades.
Then why don't you ask the lieutenant If you can replace me? It's on Sunday so you don't have to work Shoplifting detail.
I'm not just going to stand out in the sun And get all those freckles.
Okay.
Hey, wait here.
Cop! Run! Beat it.
You all right, buddy? Yeah.
Hey! I saw what happened.
Are you all right? Yes, thank you.
Oh, I'm awfully glad.
Oh, we just wanna sit down.
Could you use a drink? A cup of coffee, I guess.
Make it two, please.
All right.
Uh, I'm awfully sorry about the trouble.
My name's jane washburn.
Uh, richard taylor.
Do you live near here? Oh, no, I- I'm just passing through.
You could have been killed.
How much did they take from you? Oh, not much just $10 or $12, that's all I was carrying.
That doesn't speak very well for our town, does it? Don't worry, though, we have One of the most efficient police forces in the country.
You'll get your money back.
Well, it isn't- But it isn't that, It's just that I have to catch a plane at, uh- Two o'clock.
You mean, you're not even going to report it to the police? Well, I can't afford to miss that plane.
I've got a job waiting for me in denver.
Ah, what kind of work do you do, mr.
Tyler? Uh, did you say tyler? Uh, taylor.
I'm a salesman.
Uh, auto parts.
Well, what do you do, miss washburn? How do you know it isn't mrs.
? No ring.
I'm a secretary.
Ah, look, I live just the other side of the airport.
I can drop you off.
Well, that's not necessary.
I'll take a cab.
How are you going to pay for it? Really, it's- it's right on my way.
I'll just put on a new face and we can get started.
Okay? Okay.
Sergeant, it's jane washburn.
Listen, did harry call in about an assault on d street? All four of them? Uh- What do you mean $112? Well, listen, I have the man h-here with me That they beat up.
I-I'm going to bring him in.
I've got to go.
Wait a minute.
Where are you going? I was gonna get some cigarettes.
You don't have any money.
Why all this concern for a total stranger? After what happened to you somebody owes you a good turn.
Civic pride.
Now, come on, I drive within fifty yards of the gate.
Here's for the coffee.
Did you fly in? Yes.
Oh, I lost my shoe.
Uh, c-could you hold the wheel until I can get it back on? Sure.
Almost.
Hey.
What is this? You're a very suspicious man, mr.
Taylor If that's your name.
There's a few questions I want to ask you at the police station.
That's right.
I'm a policewoman.
I could sue you for false arrest.
Oh, really? Those boys who robbed you stole over a hundred dollars.
You told me 10 or 12.
Now, that's pretty hard to believe.
Anybody else is robbed of a hundred dollars They yell all the way to the police station But not you.
Why? Police make you nervous, mr.
Taylor? Incidentally, there isn't any 2:00 plane to denver.
So we'll just sit here until a car comes along.
Give me that.
Is this what you're looking for? All right.
We're getting out.
Are we? No.
Look, I don't wanna hurt you.
As soon as I get these handcuffs off, that's it.
I don't wanna hurt you.
Look, all I want to do is get these handcuffs off.
See you guys tomorrow.
Bye.
Bye.
Look- no! chickeny, chickeny clancy co I went to the well to wash my toe when I got there the crow was dead what time is it, old witch? You want To kill me.
Kill me.
You won't get very far dragging a dead body.
Look, I just want to get just far enough to get a hacksaw, And get these cuffs off.
Now, if I have to drag you, I'll drag you, believe me.
Then drag me.
These cuffs weren't my idea.
It'll be a lot easier on both of us if you walk.
Come on.
come on.
We'd do a lot better if you wouldn't go so fast.
I'm not going that fast.
You can keep up.
Come on.
Barney! You trying to make the rest of us look bad? I just thought I'd finish this up.
Well, look, if you don't wanna go home, That's your business.
But I've got to get this stuff locked up.
Okay, okay, I'll get it tomorrow.
You, ah, wanna grab a drink at three points? Good idea.
You sure your wife won't mind? So she minds.
Oh, hey, wait a second.
What's the matter? My lunch pail.
I'll be right back.
At least she packs your lunch.
Oh, yeah? You ought to eat this stuff.
Hurry up, will you? I'm thirsty.
What was that all about? Some guy kidnapped a policewoman.
He wanted to know if maybe we saw them.
What did you tell him? I told him we locked them in the tool shed.
What do you think I told him? I was just asking.
Yeah What are you going to do? Gonna get you out of this county, You've got too many friends here.
All right, sit down.
I hope nobody's got to tell you, That you're in very serious trouble.
Don't try smart-alecking around here, son, you'll regret it.
I'm- I'm sorry, sir.
I guess I just got a smiling disposition.
Don't get smart with me.
I'm just trying to be friendly, lieutenant.
See these pictures? You're going to go through every one of them.
There's a chance the man you mugged may be in here.
If he is, you're going to pick him out.
But we didn't mug anybody, lieutenant.
And- and if- if we didn't, How are we gonna pick out his picture? You listen to me.
He's got a policewoman with him.
She may be in very serious danger.
If his picture is in there, you're pointing it out.
And I keep telling you that That officer over there accosted us on a street corner.
He demanded to see my wallet and hauled us in.
I explained to him I won the money at the track.
Don't make it harder on yourself than it is, boy.
I'm warning you.
Okay, okay.
We'll look through your pictures for a man we never saw If it makes you happy.
Shall we begin? My father and his lawyers should be here at any time.
Meanwhile we'll- we'll all be as helpful as we can.
Come on, harry.
Uh, never saw him before in my life.
No.
Well, look, officer, th-this is an awful waste of your time.
We're- we're not gonna recognize anyone Because there was no one.
Come on.
No.
We'll be killed.
No.
Come on.
What are you running from? It wouldn't interest you.
It must have been something big.
You're no petty hoodlum, that's obvious.
Thank you very much.
What was it? Grand larceny? Embezzlement? Could be murder? It was murder, wasn't it? You've simply got the wrong boys, lieutenant.
I know my son.
He would never do a thing like this.
The arresting officer witnessed the beating.
Lieutenant, we see what we want to see, isn't that true? Oh, my boy doesn't need a hundred dollars.
If he did, he'd ask me for it.
He's always been well provided for.
Has he been in trouble before? I'm not so sure he's in trouble now.
Well, he's had his share of scrapes, Parking tickets, curfew violations.
Nothing very serious.
Mr.
Cramer, we checked his file.
Why did you ask me? I think your son's in trouble now.
The officer witnessed the beating, He got the license number of the car, He found the stolen wallet in the boys' possession.
Now, what do you think? What do you want me to do? Make him identify the man he beat up.
We've given him some pictures.
I can't do that.
Y-you can't ask me to do that.
Why, that would be confirming his guilt.
Mr.
Cramer, that man has taken a policewoman with him.
Well, you're asking me to send my son to prison.
Yes, sir, I am.
Look, jane washburn's been kidnapped before When she was a kid of 15.
You can use your imagination as to what happened, But when her father found them, He went kind of crazy, I guess, And beat the man to death.
It was over two years before jane got over the shock.
Now it may be happening all over again.
Mr.
Cramer, it would sure help if we knew What kind of person she was with.
Where is he? In here.
Lieutenant, The officer saw the beating? That's right.
Hi, pop.
What took you so long? These- these jerks been giving us a rough time.
I've just been talking with lieutenant wynn.
He told me the whole story.
I bet.
And I think you've been treated better than you deserve.
Well, come on, knock it off, pop.
Get us out of here, huh? I want you to take another look at those pictures.
What? Are you kidding? And point out the man you robbed.
Now, wait a minute.
Um, we didn't rob anybody.
Well, whose side are you on? What's the matter, old man? You flipped or something? I'm on your side, wes.
Now, is the man you beat and robbed in-? In one of these pictures? Well, I'm not getting you out of here Or anywhere until you point him out.
Well, thanks, father.
I knew I could count on you.
Lock him up, lieutenant.
Okay, burt, harry.
Come on.
Is this him, mckay? No! take it easy, It was only a bad dream.
It was so real.
I- As if it really happened.
What? Nothing.
It was nothing.
Come on.
We're getting off.
How? We're gonna jump.
No! Look, we're almost to redlands.
Right now it's open country.
We can move around, find a farm.
It's going too fast.
We're coming to a crossing.
The train will slow down.
Come on.
No.
Are you all right? Come on, let's get going.
My foot.
The left one.
I think I've broken it.
It's your ankle.
How do you know that? I know I'm gonna have to carry you.
It's broken.
Come on, stand on your right foot.
Are you a doctor? I drove an ambulance once.
I should have guessed.
The lieutenant was talking about a bulletin That came down from the state capitol.
I didn't pay much attention At the time but I heard enough.
It isn't richard taylor, is it? It's richard kimble.
You're a doctor.
Come on.
How's your ankle? How do you think? What are you doing? Mitch? He says he doesn't want to come.
Just once I wish he'd do what I say.
Perry.
Listen, dad, do I have to? I've got enough homework to choke a- You're darn right you do.
Now, you knew about it this morning.
You should have done your homework then.
Honey, leave the light on in the kitchen, sweetie.
And lock the door.
Hurry it up, will you? The prelims start at 8.
We got plenty of time.
Dinner won't take more than an hour.
Well, hurry up.
Come on, move it, will you? This will take a little time.
Did you kill her? People say I did.
Did you? What do you think? I don't know.
You don't have to be a murderer to kill somebody.
Maybe it was an accident.
Maybe- maybe you didn't know what you were doing.
I didn't kill anybody.
I'll take you in the house And see what I can do for your ankle.
Aren't you afraid they'll come back? They went to the fights.
They should be there until 10, 11:00 Now, you stay there for a while.
I'll look around.
What are you doing? When I leave, I wanna make sure I get a head start.
Come on.
You all right? I think I- I'm going to faint.
I'm going to make a splint for your ankle.
It will help relieve the pain.
I'm sorry if I spoiled the fights for you.
Ha, fights.
What fights? We saw two rounds of a lousy prelim.
I said I'm sorry.
Six bucks it cost me.
I just couldn't stand it any more, The way you're always after the boy.
All right, I just can't stand his bellyaching that's all.
Why shouldn't he bellyache? You forced him to go.
You forced me.
Well, you're always crying that I never take you out.
So I took you out.
Thank you very much.
All right, all right, I'm taking you home, aren't I? Where will you go afterward? I don't know.
There's no running to, is there? Only a running from.
How would you know? I know.
What happened? What do you mean? All right, if you don't wanna talk about it I won't ask you any more questions.
I'll be finished here in just a minute.
I'll tell you.
I wanna tell you.
All right.
I think I've always wanted to tell somebody.
You'll be gone in a little while And I'll never see you again.
When I was 15, a man kidnapped me When I was walking home from school.
My father was a policeman And he tracked us down and found us in an old barn.
Except by the time he found us, the man was already dead.
The man had- had come toward me And I somehow managed to pick up this hammer.
I remember I kept hitting him with it over and over, As if I did it enough, he'd just disappear.
When my father came, I was still holding on to the hammer.
I remember I ran over to him And he put his arms around me And I kept saying "I love you", As if that would make everything all right.
When we went back, he said he killed the man.
Why? When my mother died, I became his whole world.
I loved it.
I loved it that he was proud of me.
I loved the attention.
He fussed over me like I was the hope diamond or something.
And if the hope diamond has a flaw- It would still be a diamond, Even if it wasn't the best.
So he took the blame.
And they believed him.
But they said they couldn't keep him on the force, A man who'd let himself go like that.
No.
No! It isn't the boxing matches you like, it's the hurting.
Millie.
You like to see people in pain.
You like to give pain yourself.
It makes you feel big.
Millie.
Give me the bottle.
The bottle.
Give it to me.
I thought your mother told you to lock that door when we went.
I did, pa.
Well, it sure looks like it, doesn't it? It's been open all this time.
Oh, leave him alone.
I did, pa.
In a pig's eye, you locked it.
Mitch! Please don't be frightened.
Mitch, in here.
Who are you? This girl is very badly hurt.
I had to bring her here.
I'm a doctor.
Yeah, just walked right in like you own the place, huh? Well, she is very badly hurt.
I'll get some help.
I've already done that.
An ambulance is on the way.
I, uh- I borrowed some tape from your medicine cabinet.
Sure, just help yourself to half the house while you're at it.
Mitch.
I only gave that, uh, Ambulance driver general directions.
I better go out on the highway and see if he finds the place.
Perry will drive you over.
Sure.
The, uh, car is in the garage.
That's very kind of you.
I'll stay here with her.
Well, that's fine.
Let her sleep.
It's what she needs.
How did you break in, doc? Took a piece of cardboard and flipped the latch.
Oh, that the way you usually make house calls? Mitch, hold your tongue.
Go on, perry.
I'll get the keys.
Oh, doc, uh, just- just a minute.
You know, I wonder if there's something That maybe you'd be good enough to explain.
Stop it.
Both of you.
It's him, millie, the guy we heard about on the radio.
That must be the policewoman in the bedroom.
See? He cut the phone line.
Give it to me, millie.
What are you gonna do? Give it to me, millie.
Now, perry, you run over to the toller farm.
Use the phone there.
Call the police.
Go with him, millie.
Perry can go.
I'll stay here with her.
Do as I say.
Come on, mom.
Now, let's get into that bedroom And no tricks.
This thing has two barrels on it And I won't miss twice.
Now, move.
You all right, miss? Yes.
You are that policewoman, aren't you? Yes.
Hm.
How do you feel now, dr.
Richard kimble? All right, we'd better go.
Where are you taking him? Outside.
Why? What's the matter, miss? You think I'm gonna shoot him? Then why are you taking me outside? Come on.
Wait.
Wait a minute.
I mean it.
I'm warning you.
So what's the big deal, jane? You were a frightened kid going through a nightmare.
No one in his right mind can blame you For having killed that man.
What about my father? Oh, for the love of pete.
I killed him, lieutenant, By letting him take the blame.
He used to say, "oh, it doesn't matter, janie.
This is the way I want it.
" But I could tell when people pointed at him.
Being taken off the force, I- I guess that nearly broke his heart.
Honey, you can bet that hunk Of tin right there, He'd never have taken the blame unless he'd wanted to.
Sure he loved the force.
He just loved you more.
Now, what are you going to do? I don't know.
Well, you can start with this: I'm not accepting your resignation.
I told you- I want you back in this office in one week.
Maybe we'll talk about it then, maybe we won't.
Now, get out of here.
Buy yourself a dress or something.
Lieutenant, I- Harry, get her out of here And make sure she comes back.
I can't- now, don't you know better Than to argue with a policeman? Yes, sir.
All men run the risk of being chained to their pasts.
For richard kimble that bondage is stronger than the steel That hangs from his wrist.
And so he moves on, searching, Knowing that for him, Now, There can be no freedom.
