[gunshot] aah! [siren]

come on, doc. you staying down here? yeah. check this out. prints right here. we're reporting to you live from the near-northside home of dr. richard kimble, a respected vascular surgeon at chicago memorial hospital. details are sketchy at this hour, but we understand dr. kimble's wife helen was found murdered in the home this evening. right now, area 6 detectives are bringing out dr. kimble. we assume they're going to be taking him to a police station, probably area 6, at belmont and western, where they hope that he will be able to shed some light on what happened here this evening. now, she was found shortly before midnight. we know she made, apparently, a 911 call to police, indicating that there was an intruder in the house or that she was being assaulted. details, as i indicated, are very sketchy.

we do know this: that he and his wife helen were at a fund-raiser at the four seasons hotel earlier this evening-- a fund-raiser for the children's research fund. [music playing] hey. hey, rich. remember cara? hi, cara. nice to see you. enjoy the evening. straighten that arm, paul, or you're going to slice. rich, golf pro teach you that? no. my wife. oh, before i forget. here, thanks for the loaner. the keys are downstairs. any gas in it? yeah, enough. alec, richard kimble. oh, dr. kimble. guess that works, too. absolutely. anytime. i think that's a great idea, for you to try that project. you guys knock it off. there's nothing to see here. and you come with me.

excuse me. thank you. i was just down to my last joke. dr. kimble: you look really beautiful tonight. thanks, honey. but god, i love seeing you in a tux. i just feel i look like a waiter or something. [telephone rings] [ring] hello. dr. kimble? yes, it is. sorry to bother you, sir, but dr. stevens just went into emergency o.r. and asked if you could give him a hand. all right, call him back and tell him i'll be right there. thank you, doctor. yep. thank you. good night. i'll wait up for you. i'll wait up for you. ...wait up for you.

all right, guys, what do we got here? richard, thanks for coming. a 58-year-old guy. just pulled his hot gall bladder. bleeding. big time. it's all in the liver bed. what are his coags? they're all messed up. p.t.'s 36, and the rest are off the wall. where did he come from? where'd we get this guy? lentz's name's on the chart. we paged him, but no answer. ok, guys, let me in there. just give me some room. maria, give me a clamp. give me some suction in there. have you been getting any threats at work? co-workers, staff at the hospital, anything like that at all? no.

anything unusual going on as far as phone calls, people hanging up, uh, people coming to the door, tradespeople? not that i know of. now, doc, uh, on this fight with this guy with the one arm, did it happen upstairs or downstairs? upstairs. uh-huh. and he had-- which was it, the right or left arm, had that little gimmick on it? right arm. was it one of those with the hooks or... no. he had a c-- he had a cosmetic hand. the security system in your house-- it's a pretty good system you got there. anyone have the coding besides you and your wife? o-our maid... knows what the code is and has a key to the house. those scratches on your neck-- did the one-armed guy do that? helen scratched me when i tried to move her. is that before or after

you had the fight with the one-armed guy? i told you... do you own a gun, doc? do you own a gun? yes, we have a gun in the house. is it registered in your name? yes. where do you usually keep that gun-- the one you own? kimble: it's in helen's table. bedside table. do you keep a large amount of jewelry in the house-- hello. his fingerprints are all over the lamp, gun, and the bullets, and the good doctor's skin is under her fingernails. detective: your wife, she's got the money in the family, doesn't she? helen comes from a wealthy family... yes. is she insured? yes, she is. who's the beneficiary? i am. the sole beneficiary?

yes. financially, you're not going to be hurting after this then, are you? she was worth quite a bit of money. are you suggesting that i killed my wife? you're saying that i crushed her skull and that i shot her? how dare you! when i came home, there was a man in my house. i fought with this man. he had a mechanical arm. plastic? you find this man. you find this man. how tall was he? he took everything from me. oh, jesus. what did he weigh? what color was his hair? what color were his eyes? we can't help you until you help us. book him. ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you will hear ironclad proof of richard kimble's guilt--

indisputable scientific evidence that on the night of january 20th, richard kimble did, in fact, viciously... attack and brutally murder his wife. [gunshot] but you will hear more than that. you will hear a voice from the grave-- the voice of helen kimble identifying her killer-- her husband, richard kimble. detective kelly, can you tell us what you observed when you arrived at the home of the victim on the night of the murder? no forcible entry was found. from the beginning of the investigation, there didn't appear to be a break-in. nothing was missing. honey, i'm home. [dial tone] who won the game? the defendant's prints were on the gun and bullets. no other sets were found,

other than the housekeeper and the deceased. the fracturing of mrs. kimble's skull caused a massive hemorrhage to the brain. it took less than 5 minutes for her to die. [gasping for air] your honor, we would ask to play helen kimble's 911 emergency call, previously identified by a chicago police department dispatcher. [beep] emergency 911. please help me. what seems to be the problem, ma'am? he's...here, still in the house. did i hear you right? someone's in your house? [gasping] he's trying to kill me. would you repeat that, please?

[gasping] ma'am? he's trying to kill me. ma'am? ma'am, is your attacker still in the house? ma'am? richard. ma'am? richard. he's trying to kill me. [dial tone] mr. kimble... having considered all the factors and aggravation and mitigation in this case and found the offense was brutal and indicative of wanton cruelty, it's the judgment of this court that you be remanded to illinois state penitentiary, where you will await execution by lethal injection on a date to be set forth by the attorney general of this state, and may god have mercy on your soul.

but when i looked up, the train was bearing down on us...fast. i don't know how, it's still kind of hazy, but somehow i grabbed him, and i pushed him out of the bus. you're a brave man. you could've both been killed. yeah, i know, but he's my partner. he would've done the same for me. excuse me, sheriff, i'm deputy united states marshal samuel gerard. i'd like to talk to you. i'll be with you in just a minute. ok. one more time, just for the record, these three are dead... and, uh, this one? well, everything happened so fast, i... no, i don't think he made it. well, it looks like you came a long way for nothing. with all due respect, i'd like to recommend checkpoints on a 15-mile radius at i-57, i-24, and over here-- whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. the prisoners are all dead. the only thing checkpoints are going to do is get a lot of good people frantic and flood my office with calls. well, dang, sheriff,

i'd hate to see that happen, so i guess i'll take over your investigation. you... on what authority? governor of the state of illinois, the united states marshal's office, fifth district, northern illinois. all right. fine. you want jurisdiction over this mess, you got it. ok, boys, gather around here and listen up! we're shutting it down. wyatt earp's here to mop up for us. very funny. wyatt earp. sam. oh, wow, gee whiz, look here. you know, we're always fascinated when we find leg irons with no legs in them. who held the keys, sir? me. where are those keys at? i don't know. care to revise your statement, sir? what? do you want to change your bird brain story, sir? he might've got out. he might've got out. what the hell is this? a minute ago, you were telling me he's part of the wreckage, and now he might've got out? listen up, ladies and gentlemen!

our fugitive has been on the run for 90 minutes. the average foot speed over uneven ground barring injury is 4 miles an hour. that give us a radius of 6 miles. what i want out of each and every one of you is a hard target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse, and doghouse in that area. checkpoints go up at 15 miles. your fugitive's name is dr. richard kimble. go get him.
