- You hit him? - No.
No.
He fell.
Honest, lady, I don't mean no harm.
He's lying.
He hit him.
I saw him do it.
You big baboon.
People like that shouldn't be allowed on the streets.
Get him before he hurts somebody else.
- Looked like Willie Turner.
- Who’s that? Harmless? He almost killed my boy.
Don't worry, ma'am, we'll pick him up.
A traveling carny Here one day, there the next.
A place for a man on the run.
A fugitive.
A place for Richard Kimble.
Lean on it, old man.
You don't get paid to sunbathe.
You either.
- You having fun? - Uh-huh.
Me too.
I laugh myself to sleep every night.
I'll get the ones on the other side.
I like carnivals.
My sis used to take me to them all the time.
Sounds like you have a nice sister.
She's great.
My name’s Willie Turner.
What’s yours? - Pete.
- Glad to meet you, Pete.
- I'll see you later.
- Yeah.
Hey, get out of there.
Get-- Get out.
Hey, cut that out.
We ain't open yet.
- Hey, get out of here.
- Knock it off.
Hey, come he-- Hey.
Hey.
Hey, we ain't open yet.
Get out of here.
- Call the cops.
- What, are you drunk? - Come on, leave him alone.
- He doesn't know what he's doing.
Now, tell them you're sorry.
Tell them you won't do it again.
I'm sorry.
I won't do it any more.
You better get him put away.
Just get him out of here, huh? Come on, fellas.
Let's move it.
Let's go.
Willie, you’ve caused enough trouble.
Now, you go on home.
Please, can I stay? I'll be good.
I promise.
You go on home, Willie.
Go home, Willie.
I didn't think they'd get mad.
It's all right.
It's all over.
I got excited.
Sometimes, when I get excited, I do dumb things.
Well, there was no harm done.
Let’s forget about it.
Thanks for helping me.
You and me gonna be good friends, aren't we, Pete? Maybe.
You go on home.
Willie, I told you to go home.
I can help you.
I'm strong.
That man in the red shirt's the boss.
He doesn't want you around here.
Let me show you.
Not bad.
Say, how about knocking a few for me here? Sure.
You sure can swing that handle.
Take it easy, kid.
Don't be scared.
How'd you like to work for the carnival? You mean work here? Really? Yeah.
I'm offering you a job.
Roustabout, first class.
He’s kidding, Willie.
- Are you kidding? - I'm not kidding.
Roustabout, first class.
It'll be the best job in the whole world.
Have you ever had a job before, Willie? Not regular.
Would you let me work here with Pete? As much as you want.
Five bucks a day and all the beans you can eat.
- What do you say? - Thanks.
I'll work real hard.
I promise.
Okay.
Matt.
Kid kind of likes you, huh? Then there's no reason you can't share that extra cot with him.
Malt, forget it.
He has the mentality of a child.
He doesn't need brains.
He's got muscle.
Send him over when he's finished.
I got a load of crates for him to move.
For 5 bucks a day? Are you kidding? I could've paid him off in cotton candy.
You and me working together.
That's gonna be fun.
Yeah.
- Hurry, hurry, hurry.
- Step right this way.
See the big show.
The weird, wide, wonderful, wacky world of outer space.
Two bits.
One quarter.
Two dimes and one nickel to see one of the wonders of the universe.
And believe it or not, at no extra cost, you'll see the wonderful reptile lady.
So hurry, hurry, hurry.
Everybody, step inside.
There you go.
Willie, get me a couple of cases of lemon and orange out back.
I Okay.
- What can I do for you? - I wanna talk to you.
I'm busy right now.
You don't look busy.
I have to get something out back.
Well, here I am, fella.
Hey, Pete.
Pete.
You ever been in Lawndale before? No, this is the first time.
I joined the carnival a couple of weeks ago.
What do you wanna talk about, sheriff? A guy about 6 foot, blond, well-built.
Talks kind of slow.
A barker said the description fits a guy who went kind of berserk here this morning.
Also said he was working with you.
- What do you want him for? - Just tell me where I can find him.
Hey, Pete.
Pete.
What's the matter? Some kind of trouble? Not with him.
Just a few questions.
Hey, Malt.
Al’s been screaming for you.
The loop-the-loop, it's quit again.
Everything quits around this flea bag except me.
Look, when you're finished here, find Willie and unload that half-ton.
Yeah.
Willie Turner? That's right.
That's our boy.
You know where he is? Well, he was here a while ago.
I guess he's around someplace.
Supposing you show me where.
Sure.
You wait here in case we miss him out front.
- Hurry, hurry, hurry.
- Step right this way to see the big show.
The weird, wild, wacky world of outer space.
Step right inside to see the big blast off.
Any place else you can think of? No, you had the grand tour, sheriff.
I don't know how he does it.
He's been wandering around for a couple of months now.
Why do you want him? His family committed him to a state institution last March.
Ran away before the authorities could take him.
He seems harmless enough.
We thought so too.
But don't let the baby face fool you.
He attacked some kids early this morning.
Darn near broke one's arm.
So now we're looking for him for real.
His sister said that Willie couldn't keep away from carnivals.
He'll be back.
And so will we.
- If he shows, call the station.
- Yeah.
Hi.
I thought you left, Willie.
The policeman was looking for me.
I hid.
But he's gone now.
He'll be back.
They won't catch me.
You don't want them to catch me, do you? I don’t want them to catch you, Willie.
I-- You're my friend.
I never had a real friend before.
The old man says we move to another town tomorrow.
We'll go far away and the police won't ever catch me, huh? Everywhere you go, Willie, there are policemen.
They told me you hurt a boy today.
Oh, I just wanted to play football, but they wouldn't let me.
Kids always make fun of me.
Well, kids are afraid of things they don’t understand, Willie.
Most people are.
Why? There's lots of things I don't understand.
Yeah, me too.
No, you're smart.
You know why they’re looking for you? My pa sent them, that's why.
But they're never gonna take me to no hospital.
Never.
I'm gonna stay with you.
Running and hiding isn't the answer, Willie.
Maybe this hospital isn't as bad as you think.
You'll meet fellows just like yourself, you'll learn to do things.
They ain't locking me up.
Never.
Can't run forever, Willie.
Someday I'll go back home to Mary.
- Who’s Mary? She wouldn't let them take me away.
She loves me.
She ain't like Pa.
Why don't you go home and talk to your father? Maybe he's changed his mind.
He'd just get another policeman.
How about Mary? Wouldn’t you like to see her? Yeah.
I've been thinking about her something awful.
Come on, Willie.
Mary's in there.
Pa might be in there too.
Okay.
I'll check it out.
Just a minute, Steve.
You're early.
- Miss Turner? Yes.
What can I do for you? Nothing for me.
I brought your brother, Willie, home.
He's waiting outside.
Willie? Shh! Where’s Pa? He's not here right now, Willie.
Willie, come on, put me down.
Gee, it's good to see you, sis.
It’s good to see you, Willie.
Everything looks nice.
Hey, where's Tiger? He's my dog.
He can run faster than anybody.
And he's real smart too, ain't he, sis? Yes, he's real smart.
And he's out back.
- Why don’t you go play with him, huh? - Yeah, yeah.
You come out too.
Oh, please come in.
Where did you find him? He was at the carnival in Lawndale.
He loves carnivals.
He wanted to stay but I don't think that's the place for him.
Where is the place for him? Do you know he was committed to an institution and ran away? Yes, I heard that.
Well, then why didn’t you take him to the police? Why'd you bring him here? He wanted to come home.
Do you think home is the place for him? Well, I think your father should decide.
After all, he's the one that committed him.
My father died two months ago.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know.
He didn’t have anything to do with committing Willie.
He wanted to keep him with us.
- Willie told me that-I know.
It was only when Dad knew he was dying that he agreed to sign the order.
I love him, but you don’t know what it’s like having a brother like Willie.
I mean, every cent that Dad and I could save had to go for special teachers.
You know, to teach him how to eat and how to write his name and keep clean.
He took a lot of years out of my life.
I mean, he wouldn't even go to sleep at night unless I read him stories.
You know, kid stories, kid books, and Where do you find a baby-sitter for a 27-year-old man? And then when he ran way, I was terribly worried, but then I realized I was free, and I was glad.
I mean, I felt awful when I thought about it, but I was glad.
I mean, I could go out to parties and, you know, make friends.
And then I met Steve.
We're gonna be married next week.
- Did you tell him about Willie? No.
No.
I'm not gonna tell him.
Please, mister, look, I've got some money.
You could just take Willie down to the police station, he’ll go with you.
I can't do that.
Anybody home? I know I'm early, but I-- Hi.
It's all right, Steve.
Mr.
Edwards-- Allen.
- Hi.
- I was just leaving.
Pete, don't go yet.
I want you to meet Tiger.
And I wanna show you my swell collection of baseball cards.
The whole Yankee team.
I can’t right now, Willie.
I’m sorry.
Oh, bye, Pete.
He's with the carnival, Mary.
- We can go and see him, can't we? - We'll see.
Please? He's my friend.
My very best friend.
Yes, I know.
- Steve, this is Willie.
- Hi, Willie.
Who are you? Willie, Steve is my fiance.
Fiance? What's that? Well, that means we’re gonna be married.
Married? You and him? - Yes.
- No.
No, no, no.
I'm afraid you don't have much to say about it, fella.
I don't like you.
Go away.
Who is that guy? What’s he doing here anyway? He's my brother.
- Where you been? • In town.
- What for? - Had a bad tooth.
Matt's been raising heck with both you and Willie gone.
With Willie gone, he'll save 5 bucks a day.
Yeah.
What you talking about? Things.
What things? Tell me.
About Steve and me.
Honey, why don't you go read your comic book? We wanna be alone now.
Read it to me.
Not now, Willie.
Not now.
You always used to read to me.
Look, I'll read to you later, when Steve leaves, okay? Well, when’s he going home? I-We, please.
- Maybe I better go.
I'll call you in the morning.
Steve.
Good night, honey.
Oh, Willie, look at that mess.
I'm sorry.
Come on, help me pick it up.
Okay.
You kissed him.
I saw you.
Of course, I did.
You love him? Yes, I do.
You love me too? You know I do.
And you'll read to me every night like you used to? And take me to the carnival and to the movies? Willie, I’m getting married.
And that means Well, it means that my husband needs me too, you see? Can't you--? Can't you be my sister any more? I'll always be your sister.
I mean, like it was.
Without him.
I'll never make you understand, will I? I'll never make you understand.
Go on, pick up the rest of that litter and go to bed, Willie.
Come on, Pete, let's move it.
Okay, you guys, get the lead out.
Hey, look who’s here.
Come here, Willie.
- Where you been? No place.
You're not gonna run away again? - Oh, I won't, I promise.
- Okay, go to it.
Get your pal some help there.
Put some muscle in.
There he is.
Mr.
Hogan, would it be all right if I spoke to him first? Alone?I Oh, that'll be fine.
Just wave when you're ready.
Thank you.
Steve, you've been awfully understanding about all this, but I wanna talk to him alone.
Sure, go ahead.
What made you come back, Willie? I wanna go with you.
That’s not possible, Willie.
Why? Well, Willie, there are things I have to do.
You go home to Mary.
She doesn't love me any more.
She got somebody else.
They don't want me around.
I'll help you, Pete.
I'll do anything you say.
Just let me stay.
Willie.
No.
No.
Willie, I’d like to talk to you.
Leave me alone.
I'm going with Pete.
Willie, don’t be afraid of me, please.
You brought the police.
I told you I ain't going to a hospital.
Now, Willie.
Now, listen to what Mary has to say.
Willie, please, just a minute.
Now, Steve and I had a long talk last night.
And we talked about what would best for all of us.
And if you just go to an institution just for a little while No, no, no.
It won’t be forever, Willie.
Just for a little while.
You see, as soon as Steve and I get married, we're moving to a new house, we have to fix it up.
And I'll come and visit you all the time.
And when we fix up the house, you can come and visit us.
I'm going with Pete.
Tell her I'm going with you.
You can’t, Willie.
I’m sorry.
Willie, I’ll visit you all the time.
I promise.
Hey, come on, Pete, will you gab on your own time? I need help with some canvas here.
Yep.
Do what Mary says.
It’s best, Willie.
- Willie.
Willie, you’ll go, won’t you? Won’t you? I guess so.
Oh, everything's gonna be fine.
- It'll be all right.
- Mm-hm.
I promise.
- Okay? - Yeah.
Willie, I want you to meet Mr.
Hogan.
Mr.
Hogan is gonna take care of you.
Glad to meet you, Willie.
Your sister tells me you play football.
I'm pretty good at it.
Well, great.
That's just what we need.
You're gonna have fun with us, Willie.
See, Willie? It’s gonna be wonderful.
It really is.
Of course.
At the Fairgreen Memorial Hospital, when I was working there.
What? Was the hair that had me fooled, but that’s him, all right.
Who? The man with the blue shirt.
His name is Richard Kimble.
Excuse me, folks, I have to tell the sheriff.
Hey, hey, what are you gonna tell the sheriff? Let go of me, Willie.
What are you gonna tell the sheriff? Well, that man with the carnival owner, he's wanted for murder.
No, no, no.
Willie, let go of me.
You're lying.
Pete's my friend.
Nothing for you to worry about.
Let go.
Willie, let go of him, honey.
Let go.
That's right.
I ain't letting you tell lies about Pete.
Now, stand aside, Willie.
- Stay here with your sister.
- No.
No.
Willie, please.
Willie! Drive.
Drive fast.
Well, what’s the matter, Willie? Police, they're coming.
The police won’t hurt you, Willie.
No, not me.
But I stopped him all right.
What are you talking about? That man.
I hit him.
I think maybe I hurt him.
I think maybe he's dead.
You hit somebody? He was gonna tell lies to the sheriff about you.
What kind of lies? He was gonna tell the sheriff you murdered somebody.
But I stopped him, I hit him.
They're setting up roadblocks.
If Willie’s on one of those trucks, we’ll get him.
The man that Willie hit, he'll be all right, won't he? Hard to tell.
Your brother's pretty strong.
Willie’s never done anything like that before.
You'll be careful? You won't hurt him? Not if we don't have to.
But if he plays rough, I'm not promising kid gloves.
See that? Yeah, could be.
- Let's go.
- Right.
Looks as if you guys just made it.
I guess we did.
You got the ownership papers? No, I haven't got them with me.
Well, bring them in, sign it over.
I'll give you 50 bucks for the heap.
Tomorrow will be okay.
I'm closing down now.
This is a swell hiding place.
They'll never find us here.
Why'd you hit that man, Willie? Oh, he was telling lies about you.
You shouldn't do that.
That's wrong.
I can still stay with you, can't I? When it gets dark, I have to leave here.
Then me too.
Yeah, well, Willie, I know you’re lonely.
I know you want a friend.
I'm always gonna be your friend, like Mary's always gonna be your sister.
See, you don't have to stay together just to be good friends.
I've got something I have to do.
I have to do it alone, understand? I can help you.
I'll do anything you want me to.
All right, I want you to do what your sister says.
Oh, I can't go to that hospital now.
They'll lock me up.
Don't make me go, Pete.
Take me with you.
Please? Please.
You say Kimble, or whatever he called himself, he was driving that pickup? I thought you were looking for Willie.
• What’s this got to do with Pete? That male nurse's identification of him checked out.
This Kimble's an escaped murderer.
Wow.
When I think of the times I yelled at that guy with a hammer in his hand.
You think Willie might be out there with him? Well, if I was Kimble! • I’d dump him fast.
We gotta play all angles.
- What about the trucks? - Checked them all.
Nothing.
Tell them they can go ahead.
What was the license number on that pickup? Got it here someplace.
Here it is.
One-two-dash-five-eight-four-six.
- Say, was that a beat-up half-ton? - Yeah, that's the one.
- You see it? - Yeah.
It took the side road off Hastings so we went after it.
- Who was driving? - I don’t know, but there were two men in it.
We lost it.
Harry, the license number's one-two-dash-five-eight-four-six.
- Put out an APB.
- Right.
Now, look, we're covering the Hastings Road.
- Real slow this time.
Now, come on.
- Right.
Hello? Miss Turner, this is Pete.
I’ve got Willie.
You’d better come and get him alone.
Supposing he won't come with me? You're the only one that can handle him.
If the police come, I think there'll be trouble.
Well, where are you? Yes.
Yeah, I know where it is.
How's the man Willie hit? Oh, he's fine.
But he told the sheriff who you are.
Yeah.
All right, get here as quickly as possible.
I can't stick around.
Willie won't wait without me.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
If I were a killer, I would have gotten rid of your brother a long time ago.
Where you been? Here.
Oh, thanks.
I was afraid you weren't coming back.
I don't like this place.
Can we go somewhere else? Yeah.
Pretty soon, Willie.
Pretty soon.
There's nothing here.
We'll be heading west on Pine Road.
- Let's get going.
- Hold it.
That's Turner's sister.
I better call for help.
Who’s that? Hello, Willie.
- What's she doing here? - I asked her to come.
I’m gonna take you home, Willie.
Oh, you're just saying that.
You're gonna take me to that hospital.
I ain't going with you.
No, no hospital, I promise.
You're gonna live with me.
We're gonna work it out somehow.
Looks like they're in there, all right.
There could be trouble, so be careful of the girl.
We got you blocked, Kimble, Turner.
Better come on out.
You told them.
You told them where we were.
No, Willie, I didn’t.
I No, I swear, I didn’t You heard me.
Come on out.
We're coming in after you.
- I’m going out.
You stay here.
- Willie.
No, no, Willie.
Willie.
- Let Mary go out.
- I’m going out.
Go away from here.
Calm down, Willie, we don’t wanna hurl you.
Go away.
- No.
- Go away.
- Don't, Willie.
- Go away.
- Willie, no.
- Go away.
Please, go away.
Sheriff, I wasn't trying to shoot him.
Move in.
Watch yourself.
Empty.
VVhere's Pete, Willie? I don't wanna go to no hospital.
Sure, Willie.
VVhere's the man you were with? Your friend? He's-- He's not my friend.
He went away a long, long time ago and left me here all alone.
Call the coroner's office.
Miss Turner? We’ve got to know.
Was Kimble here? What difference would it make? Well, if he was, we’ve still got a chance to get him.
Look, Miss Turner, he’s an escaped criminal.
He could be dangerous.
That's what you said about Willie.
He's not dangerous now, is he? Miss Turner.
Miss Turner, how did you know your brother was here? Oh.
Ahem.
Pete called from out of town somewhere.
He told me where he left Willie.
Okay, boys.
Back to the station.
For some men, the world has provided little room, no place for them to live as other men.
But for Richard Kimble, there is such a place.
And to find it, he must now continue his lonely search.
