"St. Christopher's Prayer"
Kimble follows a lead in search of the One-Armed Man to what appears to be a vacant apartment in Queens, NY. Scouring the room for any evidence of his wife's killer, he finds several used syringes.
Kimble logs on to and sees: KIMBLE'S DAD ON DEATHBED. As Kimble reacts, we see that Gerard is also on the website, reading the same thing.
Gerard tells Captain McLaren that he wants to stake out the Kimble home, certain that Kimble will show up there. When he informs his wife, Sara, of his plans, she becomes upset. This decision may put his career, not to mention their relationship, in jeopardy. Gerard tries to convince her that it will all be over soon.
Kimble calls Maggie, who tells him that his father isn't doing well. Kimble senses his father's doubt about him when he speaks to him on the phone and tells Maggie he's coming home. David, Stuart's brother, is visiting with his son, Cameron. Unlike Maggie, he is not at all convinced of Richard's innocence.
Gerard views a security tape of Kimble in the clothing store, supposedly shoplifting, and sees it as an obvious ploy. Gerard knows better, "He wanted to be seen in New York."
Carrie Dewhurst, an ambitious reporter who covered Kimble's trial, appears at the house to interview Stuart about his son. She questions why his support for his son became quieter after his escape from prison. After Stuart asks her to leave, Carrie stays in the neighborhood, staking out the house. She calls Gerard, telling him she knows he is on his own stake-out and offers to work with him. When she brings up his wife's death, Gerard ends the call.
Gerard sits in a car outside the Kimble house, impatiently waiting. He phones, routing the call through the Chicago police department to disguise the caller ID. As he spars with Maggie over the phone, an ice cream truck passes by. Maggie hears the music over her phone, and as the same truck passes in front of the house, she realizes Gerard is nearby.
In the pre-dawn hours, using a garbage truck as cover, Kimble makes his way to his father's home. Maggie is awake and tearfully greets him, but says that if David sees him there he'll call the police. Kimble, who knows his time is short, tells Stuart he can't go on if he doesn't believe him. In a tearful moment of truth, father and son embrace. Stuart asks his son if he remembers the prayer of St. Christopher, patron saint of travelers. Kimble confesses that he doesn't have much faith anymore. Stuart removes a medal from around his neck and gives it to Richard, "I'm all done traveling."
When David sees Richard he is adamant about alerting the police. Stuart appears in the doorway and tells David that Richard is innocent. These are the words that Richard had longed to hear. He can go now.
As day breaks a police car rolls by; Kimble has to go. Maggie gives him her car keys, but as he backs out of the driveway, Carrie's car is blocking him. At the front of the house, David goes to get the police. Stuart and Maggie plead with him. Maggie asks what he'd do if it were his son. He considers this and decides to waive the police away.
Carrie, having forced Kimble to use her car, jumps in for the ride and story of her life. She secretly dials Gerard's cell phone, trying to give their position to Gerard, as they head into Philadelphia. Kimble sees the police have pulled over a car similar to theirs, then sees Carrie's open cell phone. Stopping the car, he crosses a side street where he and Gerard spot each other. A foot race is on through the city streets, which culminates in Kimble leaping from a trolley on to a truck. Gerard can only watch as Kimble and the truck speed away.
In a darkened alley along the streets of Philadelphia, Kimble opens a newspaper to an obituary column which reads: FUGITIVE'S FATHER DIES AT 68. Clutching his St. Christopher's medal, he takes a deep breath and closes his eyes.
