"New Orleans Saints"
Still in New Orleans, Kimble uses information from Ben Charnquist's death certificate to track down Renee, the wife of the One-armed Man. He contacts DrRichardKimbleDotCom webmaster Chuck Brixius hoping to get some background on her.
As she leaves work, Kimble watches as she enters an alley and is grabbed by a man with a gun. Kimble quickly moves in and whisks her away. He introduces himself as a friend of Ben's. Renee tells him about the illness Ben contracted on an offshore rig in Gabon. That after he lost his arm and his health and lifestyle deteriorated until he finally overdosed on cocaine and heroin seven years ago. The man who attacked her tonight was probably out to collect a debt. Feeling unsafe, she asks if he wouldn't mind staying, just until she moves into her new apartment.
In a shabby motel room, the One-armed Man pours a shot of whisky. A prostitute enters and they disperse with the small talk.
Kimble rummages through a box of keepsakes, coming across a paper with Ben's baby hand and footprints. He pockets the parchment, then turns and sees Renee standing behind him, holding a gun.
Brixius, working diligently at his computer, hacks into Renee's phone records.
Kimble says he was looking for an extra blanket. She tells him the gun is just for protection and offers it to Kimble, who declines the weapon, "You should probably hang on to that." Meanwhile, outside the apartment, standing in the shadows is the man who earlier accosted Renee.
The next morning, as Kimble mails the prints off to his lawyer, he is approached, aggressively, by the mysterious man. He tells Kimble he's an insurance investigator. He believes Charnquist isn't dead; that he's defrauded the insurance company for one hundred thousand dollars. He hands Kimble his card - 'Buddy LaRue, Span-All Insurance Co.'
At a bus station, the One-armed Man steps aboard a bus, his destination just over two hours away.
Brixius calls Kimble at a pay phone, telling him that Renee had not made or received calls from places where Charnquist has been sighted. She also has very little money in bank accounts. Renee checks out. Kimble then asks Brixius to look into LaRue's story.
While helping Renee pack, Kimble confesses that he's not really a friend of Ben's, but in fact he is searching for him because he believes Ben is still alive. He then tells her that LaRue and the insurance company feel the same way. Renee doesn't know how to handle this. She leaves to put a deposit on her new apartment.
Outside of a crypt marked 'Charnquist,' Renee places a bouquet of flowers. A figure approaches, closes in on her. It is the One-armed man, Ben Charnquist. He and Renee embrace in a passionate kiss. Renee tells Ben about the insurance investigator and that Richard Kimble is inside her apartment.
Kimble pages LaRue, hoping to exchange information. He tells Kimble to meet him at the Lafayette Cemetery.
Renee returns to her apartment, alone. Kimble, still unaware he's being played, tells her that the reason he's after Ben is because he killed his wife.
LaRue answers a knock at his door. It's Charnquist, who attacks and overpowers him, bludgeoning him with a table lamp.
Before leaving to meet LaRue, Kimble takes the gun from Renee's dresser. While searching through her drawer he finds a bundle of hundred dollar bills. He becomes suspicious.
Kimble finds his way to the meeting point in Lafayette: the Charnquist Crypt. He enters the open tomb, turns, and sees the One-Armed Man. They struggle; Kimble aims the gun at him, "This is the end of it." He locks the man inside and calls the police, but when they show up the tomb is empty. Charnquist is gone.
Renee's apartment is vacant. "She played me," Kimble tells Brixius. Brixius says that LaRue may still be of some help, but Kimble can't seem to reach him. Along the bank of a still river, a body floats face down. On the dead man's belt, Larue's pager vibrates.
