Featured review
They saw Hollywood but nobody died. In Hollywood, anyway.
The doc is working at Wally's filling station when a couple of crazy punk hoods rob the place. Kimble just attracts trouble. They kill Wally and take Dick and a good looking woman who happens by with them when they high tail it outta there. Of course, if there's a woman involved she's good looking, and Brenda Vaccaro fits the bill. Kimble thinks on his feet and has the punks believing he's about to score 150 large in LA. The punks were content to see Hollywood and take a swim in someone's pool, so color them impressed. One of them, Miles, is a wide eyed psycho who thinks Kimble is his father and calls him daddy the whole show. He stays in Brenda's car with her and apparently rapes her while Kimble and the other punk are buying a used car, which they do without needing to show a license or insurance, or even ID. The punks are impressed with how Kimble handled the salesman, when the salesman was even dumber than they are. Anyways, the cops get fingerprints off of Brenda's car, which they ditched after getting the other car from Dopey Dave's Cars Are Us, and it's front page news that big money Al is really Richard Kimble. With more quick thinking, Kimble tells the punks he has a partner and needs to call him. The "partner" is a reporter whose name is on a sign that fortunately the punks, who might as well be named Bill and Ted, fail to notice. One of them waits for the police in a hotel room while the other, the nut bag, goes with Kimble and Brenda. He plans to kill Brenda, but Kimble uses his superior fighting skills to knock him cold, ironically at the very site of a future swimming pool. Dick shows compassion and wants to know that Brenda will be alright before he runs away. He also wants her to know that he really didn't kill his wife. In future seasons, he didn't seem to care as much if people believed he did it or not. She tells the cops he went thataway, when he really went the other way, and Richard Kimble remains......a fugitive.
