"Tucker's Gift"

A disgruntled Kimble works at a junkyard in Mayville, an eastern Texas town, but is fired when he talks back to his boss. A local contractor, Tucker Frederickson, rummaging for some piece or another offers Kimble work to help him "build something."

The Fugitive Task Force is inundated with various Kimble sightings, most of which turn out to be false. Gerard is headed to Arizona to spend much needed time with his family, leaving a stack of recent Kimble leads in the hands of Eve Hilliard and Eddie Miles. Miles sees this as a way to get some R&R., choosing to follow a lead conveniently located near a Willie Nelson concert in San Antonio, but after he sells the lead to Hilliard she decides to go along.

Kimble helps Tucker build his project, a contraption consisting mostly of automotive and household spare parts that he wants to unveil to the town on the next full moon. Even though these two are getting along, their personalities contrast; Kimble having reached a breaking point as he describes the events of his past, while Tucker seems not to have a care in the world.

While at the local market, Kimble meets Jamie, a woman who Tucker once had a relationship with, but called it off suddenly and without reason.

When a postcard falls from a stack of Tucker's mail, Kimble picks it up and can't help but see that the address is from a mortuary. That's when it strikes him; Tucker is dying. Kimble offers to stay and help Tucker a little longer, but Tucker can see through him, asking "Why do I get the feeling that you know?" Tucker tells him that he has Lou Gehrig's disease and has one year to live. His project is the one thing that he feels passionate about and wants to complete to leave something behind. When Kimble mentions Jamie, Tucker says there is no point in starting a relationship back up with such a short time left, regretting that he did not settle down earlier in life.

Miles and Eve investigate their lead with a gas station attendant in Mayville. It becomes clear to Eve that Miles had never taken this lead seriously, but it turns out there may be something here after all so she and Miles begin searching the want ads for places Kimble may be working.

When Jamie shows up at Tucker's, Kimble thinks it is only right that he tell her about his condition and believes he should spend his remaining days with someone who cares for him.

Miles tries to make a peace offering to Eve, but it doesn't quite work; the two just aren't working well together.

At the junkyard Kimble's old boss recognizes his photo and directs the two agents toward Tucker's house where he was last known to be.

As dusk falls, and the full moon takes shape in the night sky, the unveiling is upon them. The entire town has shown up for the event. Tucker unveils a giant, twirling musical mechanism, artistically refined to perfection that seems to have an enlightening effect on the crowd who dance around joyfully. For Kimble it's time to move on, but his sense of well being has been restored by Tucker's outlook.

Miles and Eve can't fight their way through the traffic heading toward Tucker's house. Miles takes the car off road where the axle breaks. Making their way on foot, they continue to argue with one another. This heats to a boiling point, culminating in a long passionate kiss, after which they continue to make their way to Tucker's, only to get there too late. Kimble has already left.

Back in Chicago, Gerard congratulates his two colleagues, saying "Welcome to the club." Now they too know what it's like to have Kimble slip away.

Somewhere along a desolate roadside, Richard Kimble works a pearl handled knife, Tucker's gift, to whittle at a piece of wood.
