The Fugitive (TV Series)

Wife Killer (1966)

William Conrad: Narrator

Quotes 

• [Richard Kimble dials the operator on a pay phone] 

  Dr. Kimble : [Epilog Closing Narration. Viewers see Richard Kimble in a pay phone booth]  I'd like to make a person-to-person call to Lieutenant Philip Gerard at the Baker City Police Department. G-E-R-A-R-D, that's right. I'll wait.

  Narrator : And Richard Kimble waits, not yet aware that his hope for salvation has again disappeared. Waits to be reminded by Lieutenant Philip Gerard that he is still as much a Fugitive as before.

• [Opening Narration. Barbara Webb spots Fred Johnson chatting with a fellow suspect in an outdoor police roundup, and quickly gets her camera] 

  Barbara Webb : You once said a reporter has to have a mind like a sponge. Remember the Richard Kimble case?

  Herb Malone : Oh, come on, Barbara, you don't want to get some poor guy in trouble for no reason.

  Barbara Webb : [to Fred Johnson]  Hey, mister, can you turn around this way?

  [Johnson turns toward Barbara and she snaps his photo, which later winds up on the front page of a newspaper held by Richard Kimble as he boards a bus] 

  Narrator : A Fugitive is usually a man without a goal, endlessly fleeing the Furies that pursue him. But for Richard Kimble, there is a goal, a phantom who has himself become a Fugitive. And Richard Kimble, in turn, now becomes the hunter.

  [We see another copy of the same newspaper with the same photo of Fred Johnson on the front passenger seat of a car - a car driven by Lt. Philip Gerard] 

  Narrator : But another hunter is also on the move.
