"Sanctuary"
Stuart Kimble is laid to rest as Gerard, presence unwelcome, watches on. Offering his condolences he approaches Jean Trabant, an old girlfriend of Kimble's, who tells him that she hasn't seen Richard for ten years.
In an empty church, Kimble is consoled by a priest who reassures his faith. A police radio squawk alerts Kimble, who ducks into an alcove. The police question the priest about a man with Kimble's description. "I see so many people," he tells them. They move on and a grateful Kimble expresses his thanks to the priest.
Helen's father, Matthew Ross, has lost confidence in the police. He turns to Karl Vasick, a bounty hunter, who agrees to kill Kimble for a healthy sum.
Outside a suburban home, Kimble lifts a porcelain frog uncovering a house key. He quietly enters the home of Jean Trabant without noticing the silent alarm blinking on the wall behind him.
While security checks the house, Jean sees the frog is facing backwards. She quickly sends the guards and her boyfriend, Brian, away, assuring them the alarm was set off by her cat. Kimble asks Jean to test the syringes he found in the One-armed man's apartment in New York. She agrees to send the needles to her lab and insists that he stay with her until the results come back.
Gerard returns to Chicago and learns that he is the subject of an impending Internal Affairs investigation. McLaren has meanwhile reassigned him to a desk job. Sara calls and tells him Alex is missing.
Brian is irate when he finds Kimble at the house. Kimble says he'll leave right away, but the doorbell rings; a man claiming to be a U.S. Marshal wants to question Jean. It's Karl Vasick who is quick to read Jean and Brian's reactions. Kimble is near.
Gerard and Sara confront one of Alex's friends. She doesn't know where Alex is, but confesses they were at a club where the scaffolding collapsed and Alex was injured in the accident.
Vasick returns to Jean's home, claiming he's got a search warrant. He crashes through the front door and searches the house for Kimble. In the garage, he sees Kimble climb into the trunk of Jean's car. Jean hits Vasick over the head, then gets in her car and speeds away. She cuts off a police car, sending both vehicles out of control. The police stop her and impound the car.
Vasick finds Jean's car at the impound lot, but Kimble is gone. When guards ask for I.D., Vasick is quick with a crowbar. Kimble, watching from nearby, uses this opportunity to flee.
When Gerard and Sara go to the hospital, a doctor informs them that the girl has died. But after viewing a photograph, Gerard sees that the young girl is not his daughter. He arrives angry at the address of the man who signed her out, but also relieved to find his daughter safe. She explains how guilty she feels that another person was killed while she could do nothing. This triggers a memory of Gerard's first wife, and Alex's mother, unable to escape from the sinking car; Gerard unable to help. Alex asks Gerard to tell her more about her mother.
The lab results come in. Kimble learns that the One-armed man was being treated for malaria. An encouraging break since the C.D.C. keeps records of all diagnosed malaria patients.
Vasick holds Brian hostage and demands an exchange for Kimble. Having no choice, they make the switch. Driving toward a vacant area outside of town, Kimble has to act quickly. He releases Vasick's seatbelt, then grabs the wheel and steps on the gas, steering the car head-on into a pole. Vasick, unrestrained, crashes through the windshield. Kimble is shaken, but able to grab the handcuff keys and free himself.
When Vasick comes to, he calls MacLaren and we realize he was the one who set Vasick up with Ross. Vasick asks for his help. When MacLaren refuses, Vasick calls Matthew Ross to pressure him.
Inside Jean's mail is a letter from Kimble who sends her his heartfelt thanks.
