  [In the dead of night, Kimble and Gerard are handcuffed together on a train bound for Stafford, Indiana. Kimble stares pensively out the window, contemplating his fate, and Gerard tries to busy himself reading the newspaper. Gerard takes off his glasses and rubs his eyes in exhaustion] 

  Narrator : A man may travel many roads, and one day find his way home again. But for Richard Kimble, this road is not of his choosing and this day has come too soon. Two men, traveling together, bound by links of steel, and the memory of a senseless murder committed years before. Two men, one of whom has finally caught his elusive quarry.

  Lt. Philip Gerard : Six more hours.

  Dr. Richard Kimble : There's no point in asking you again, is there?

  Lt. Philip Gerard : No, I'm afraid not.

  Dr. Richard Kimble : I don't need three days, just twenty-four hours... that's all.

  Lt. Philip Gerard : All I can give you is the same promise I made when you agreed to waive extradition... I'll keep the story of your arrest out of the papers. Anyway, I doubt your one-armed man is even in Stafford.

  Dr. Richard Kimble : No, Johnon's in Stafford. I know that.

  Lt. Philip Gerard : All you can be sure of is that someone paid three thousand dollars to bail him out of jail.

  Dr. Richard Kimble : That someone's in Stafford, too.

  Lt. Philip Gerard : You found that scrap of paper in the bail bondsman's office. Just said, "Len Taft, Stafford." Your own brother-in-law. Now do you really think that he put up the money?

  Dr. Richard Kimble : No, I think someone used his name. And that someone wanted Johnson out of jail.

  Lt. Philip Gerard : There's nothing I can do.

  Dr. Richard Kimble : Twenty-four hours, Gerard! At the end of that time, I'll crawl into the police station... on the end of a leash, if that's the way you want it. You've waited five years, all I'm asking for is twenty-four more hours!

  Lt. Philip Gerard : [Gerard glances at his watch, torn between his doubts about Kimble's guilt and his duty to uphold the law]  We ought to be getting into South Bend about 8:30.
