"Sea Change"
Kimble, following an earlier lead from Chuck Brixius, crosses the Golden Gate Bridge into San Francisco searching for Nicholas Armenasco, who is to be arriving in port on a South African freighter. Spotting him on the docks, Kimble follows, but when his path is halted someone else picks up the chase. Ben Charnquist tails Nick into a narrow street where he corners him, demanding, "I need that shipment." Kimble hears the gunshot and rushes to Nick's aid, but it's too late. He breathes his last breath to Kimble about having something that the One-armed man wants.
Police Investigator DeVries takes Kimble in for questioning. Nick's father, Henry arrives to identify the body. DeVries gives him a box of Nick's belongings from his ship quarters. Kimble believes that whatever he was hiding must be in that box.
After helping a grieving Henry carry Nick's belongings to his home, Henry offers Kimble a place to stay. Inside the house is a mariner's treasure trove of trinkets picked up along various overseas travels. Kimble eyes several Ships-in-Bottles that Henry says he made for Nick, "on every voyage."
Forensic technicians pull prints from the crime scene; it's only a matter of time before they run a make on Kimble's.
In a back alley the One-armed man is met by a cop who says he couldn't get what he asked for because Nick's father already left with the box.
Kimble rummages through Nick's personal items, recalling his last breath, "It's hidden." He finds nothing, but on the wall in the living room spots several postcards from Nick. All from cities where Kimble has tracked the One-armed man. There is definitely a connection between the two.
DeVries informs Henry that Nick has had prior arrests for drug possession and that finding his killer will be difficult with limited resources. But Henry realizes the truth, "He's a drug dealer, so you don't give a damn."
Charnquist breaks into Henry's home and searches through Nick's box. Finding nothing and hearing a key in the door, he runs out. Kimble enters, and noticing that the home has been ransacked, looks around cautiously. Henry arrives, and his emotions begin to boil. He tells Kimble that he couldn't possibly understand, but Kimble tells Henry that his wife was murdered by the One-armed man, and he believes the same man killed Nick because of something he has hidden.
The lab continues a search of the prints, and finally comes up with a positive match - Richard Kimble.
Henry and Kimble search through Nick's room only to find where a key was once kept inside a book. Henry recognizes it as one that opens a locker on board a ship. Henry phones DeVries who says he can't board the ship without a warrant, and, holding a copy of Kimble's wanted poster, says he's on his way over. Henry tells Kimble that he'll find Charnquist and kill him himself. Kimble tries to stop him, but seeing DeVries and several police cars approach, he runs off.
Kimble makes his way across town, through San Francisco streets, Chinatown, and back to the waterfront where the Medusa still rests in port. Moving inside the ship he hears two men arguing. One is Henry, the other he recognizes as Ben Charnquist. Kimble hears a gunshot and runs toward them, but a closed gate separates him from the two men. Henry holds a gun on the One-armed man who stands near Nick's empty locker. Charnquist tells Kimble that Nick was there the night Helen was killed. Wanting to hear more, Kimble pleads with Henry not to shoot. Henry lowers his gun and starts to open the gate when Charnquist swings a grappling hook and buries it into Henry's shoulder. Kimble breaks the gate open with a fire extinguisher and runs in to help Henry as the One-armed man escapes.
On Henry's boat, Kimble admires another Ship in a Bottle, the only item found in Nick's locker. Henry ferries him along the pacific coast, away from San Francisco as Kimble sets the bottle down without noticing the shiny glint of a cut diamond inside.
