04x13 - The Blessings of Liberty

[bunniefuu]

Venous, I'm sure.

His pulse is weak.
There must be internal bleeding.

The b*llet probably severed
the branch of the vena cava.

- That's the--
- I know what it is.

We'll have to go in and tie it off.

Oh, it's been too long.

You'd better call a doctor.

There isn't time, Josef.

Ben. Ben, listen.
This man is a policeman.

He says that
you're Dr. Richard Kimble.

He came here to arrest you.
Please, you must go.

Starring David Janssen as Dr. Richard Kimble.

An innocent victim of blind justice,

falsely convicted
for the m*rder of his wife,

reprieved by fate
when a train wreck freed him

en route to the death house.

Freed him to hide
in lonely desperation,

to change his identity,
to toil at man y jobs.

Freed him to search
for a one-armed man

he saw leave
the scene of the crime.

Freed him to run
before the relentless pursuit

of the police lieutenant
obsessed with his capture.

Ludwig Dona th,

Julie Sommars,

Arlene Martel.

Richard Kimble, fugitive,
like everyone else,

has to stop long enough to work
and eat and rest.

Even though every time
he does any of these things,

his own personal danger
increases tenfold.

Cabinet maker or upholsterer?

- Neither, I'm--
- Semi-skilled.

Two bucks an hour to start
is the best I can do.

Okay.

Korak?

- Name?
- Ben Russell.

Address?

I just got into town.

Jan Korak, Ben Russell.

Just do like he tells you.

Please, we put your suitcase away.

And in a piece like this one,

My wife and my sister,
they are sewing the covering material.

And my father, he will help us
to sew it in place with large needles.

Oh, uh, Papa, ladies,
this is Mr. Russell.

- How do you do?
- How do you do?

Sort of a family enterprise, huh?

Well, it just worked out that way.
Come.

- How about lunch today, Carla?
- I can't, I brought my lunch.

My fault. I should've asked yesterday.
How about tomorrow, huh?

Oh, I'll think about it.

I happened to pack
an extra sandwich.

In case you know anybody
who might be interested.

Guarantee to find somebody.

Thanks, Carla.

See, you come around like this,
pull through, knot.

Well, I think I’ve got it.

I don't know why you cops can't wait
for the lunch break or closing time.

Look at them.

If I lose ten minutes a man, do you
know how much that is in dollars?

Do you know how much you could be
fined in dollars for harboring a fugitive?

I told you, I don't know no criminals.

Well, are you just gonna
• stand there all day?

He may be here. I thought I'd give him
a chance to make a break for it.

We'll walk through slow.

Hey, you.

What are they trying to do to Billy?

- Please, Mr. Russell. There's little bit--
- No more. No, thank you.

It's wonderful but, no, thank you.

Papa?

- Well, then.
- Thank you, Magda.

Where he puts it, I don't know.

Here.

You were born in this country,
weren't you, Mr. Russell?

Carla, at least let the poor man
digest his supper first.

First?

Oh, we just wanted
to show off a little bit.

You see, we've been admitted
for permanent residence.

We've been in this country long
enough to become naturalized citizens.

So...

Good night.

- Good night, Papa.
- Good night, Papa.

Good night, Mr. Korak.
Thank you for your hospitality.

You're welcome.

Oh. You may sleep here,
Mr. Russell.

Well, that’s not necessary--

There's a cot
which can be put in there. I insist.

As you can see,
Papa's used to giving orders.

At any rate, I doubt if you could find
another place at this hour.

I'm very grateful.

- You're getting upset needlessly--
- Oh, I know that look on his face.

He's getting ready to leave again.

Well, this time I’m not going.

And I mean it.

I'm sorry, Mr. Russell.

Uh, Carla wants to be a citizen.

We all do, except Papa.

We, uh, travel around a good deal,
you see,

and it is required that one remain
continuously in one state

for six months.

Uh, this we have not
been able to do.

Uh, we have a ceremony each night.

We, uh-- We drink a glass of wine

and, uh, we recite from memory
some piece of American literature.

- Who is there?
- The police.

Open up right away.

We're looking for a man
known to you as Billy Karnes.

Is he here?

- No, why--?
- Please, don't get in front of me.

- Anybody in that room?
- My father.

Come out, please, Mr. Korak.

- Anybody else here?
- No.

Sorry to bother you, folks,

but I understand this Billy Karnes
was quite interested in you.

If you're Carla Korak.

We went out together several times,
if it's any of your business.

It is our business.

Bowlen is his real name.

He jumped parole in Houston
and is suspected of m*rder in Phoenix.

That's impossible.
Billy's not that kind of person at all.

Well, I’m afraid he is, miss.

Bowlen is very dangerous.

Please, believe that.

All of you.

If you should see him
or hear anything about him,

please get word to us right away.

My name is Sergeant Charney.
Ask for me.

If I'm out, get the information
to anybody in the detective bureau.

Please, uh, excuse my father.

He has had considerable
unpleasantness with the police.

Oh?

In Budapest, sergeant.
That's in Hungary.

Uh, we all just managed
to get out of there a few years ago.

Nobody has to fear the police
in this country.

Unless, of course,
they’ve done something wrong,

which includes
helping someone like Bowlen.

That's a crime too, you know.
And a serious one.

We understand, sergeant.

Good night.

Your oatmeal's almost ready, Papa.

Good morning.

There is coffee in the kitchen.

Not bad. Shoes look a little too good.

Scuff them up some
when you go outside.

Okay.

You really think Bowlen
might be stupid enough to show up?

It's possible.

We buttoned the neighborhood fast.
I don't think he got far.

And he likes dames.
That's how he got nailed last time.

They’re coming out now, sarge.

Let Macklin take a look.

You know something?
This might almost make up

for some of those dirty jobs
you've been handing me all year.

Don't count on all play and no work.

That upholstery place expects
a full day's labor out of you.

That's the deal I made.

You wanna take another look
at Bowlen's mug sh*t?

No, I've locked him in.

Oh, yeah, I forgot.
You and your photographic head.

Who’s the tall guy with the Koraks?

Ben Russell.
He started work there just yesterday.

Moved right in, didn't he?
He looks familiar.

- Get going and don't forget the shoes.
- Right.

Papa didn't come back?

He just went for a walk.
He'll be right back.

He didn't eat.

Ben, do you know anything
about the law?

- A little.
- Carla.

We have to trust somebody
sometime.

We just can't go on running
and running all our lives.

Especially when
he's not even guilty of anything.

Your father?

It is, uh, not right for us to bother you
with our private problems.

I feel as Carla does. I trust Ben.

And the one thing we have not done
in all this time is to ask advice.

Perhaps now this is the time.

Your father a doctor?

What a strange question.

I saw some medical books
under his bed.

I think he knows I saw them.

He was a doctor, a surgeon,
when we were in Europe.

When we got out of Hungary
and we came to this country,

he had all the proper credentials.

Did he intern here?

He had just a few months left

and then this girl came to him.

She wanted to have an abortion.

Of course, Papa wouldn't do it,

so she went someplace else
to have it done.

And it was done badly.

She was dying
when she came back to Papa.

And he did everything he could
to save her.

He even called an ambulance.

He was accused
of performing the operation?

She pointed at him, the girl.

"It's his fault," she said.

Then she d*ed.

If anybody dies from an illegal abortion,
it's called m*rder.

Was there a hearing?

No. When the police come
to question Papa, he became afraid.

He ran away and we ran with him.

He had no way
to prove his innocence.

It was just the girl's word against his.

In Hungary, when someone
is questioned by the authorities,

he goes to prison.

Well, here in the United States, you're
innocent until you're proved guilty.

How could Papa be sure
he could not be proved guilty?

Things like this could happen.

Hi, folks. I've just been elected
to a one-man cleanup committee.

Can I help you
keep your factory spotless?

Thank you.

My name's Jim Macklin.
I just started here today.

I noticed.

You did?
Well, I didn’t notice that you noticed.

- You through?
- Yeah, thanks.

His prints are all over it.
Both hands, probably.

Forget it. We're looking for Bowlen.

I was gonna ask you to drop it off
at the lab, but I can do it myself.

I'll take it.

Stay away from the department
until this job's over.

You might as well sleep right here.

Any sign of Bowlen?

Grocery store was broken into
a couple of blocks from here.

The prowler was scared off.

I figure it could be Bowlen
getting hungry.

You all don't know
what you're talking about.

None of you.

And you have also betrayed your father
to a stranger.

Oh, Papa, no one's betrayed you.

No. Not yet.

I have no reason to hurt you, Josef.

No, not today, perhaps.

But after a time,

you might think it's your duty
to talk to the police about me.

And why not?

You're an American

and I'm an alien.

A trespasser.

Accused of a crime
against your community.

You don't even know
if you were officially accused.

You ran away before you had a chance
to defend yourself.

What do you know
about such things?

I know a man has to try.

And if I fail?

I shall tell you. At the very least,
imprisonment for m*rder.

And for my children, deportation.

Papa, that's silly.

Is it?

I know something about the law.

You are all accessories.

You aided me in my unlawful flight.

Well, that’s what the policeman said.

Threatening us with investigation

if your fine friend Billy Karnes
shows up.

Investigation.

Do you know how long it will take
for the police to find out who I am?

And what I'm hiding for? That long.

Papa, Billy's not going
to come back here.

He knows that they're looking for him.

He'll show up.

I saw how he looked at you.

You're always painting
everything black.

Well, this time, we’re not going.

At least, I'm not.

You haven’t committed a crime,
Josef.

But what you're doing
is almost as bad.

You're depriving the world
of your medical knowledge.

In the time you've spent running away,
you could have saved quite a few lives.

Who are you to make speeches to me
about the glory of medicine?

Macklin. Macklin, wake up.

Charney here.

Macklin here.
Old man Korak just came out.

Looks like he's leaving town.
You want him tailed?

No. Let him go.

No chance
he might Contact Bowlen?

No. From what I heard,
he couldn't stand the kid.

The girl's our best bet.

All right.

VVhere's Josef?

He went out early this morning.
I heard him.

He likes to do that
on Saturday mornings.

Sometimes he walks for hours,

then he comes back
with some goodies for lunch.

- Here, I'll help you.
- No, thank you.

I'm just going down to the basement
to put these in the washer.

Drink your coffee.

I would offer you some eggs, Ben,
but Jan ate the last of them.

Hmm?

We still need some other things
at the market too.

I'll get them, Magda.

Oh, that would be nice.

Jan reads every word
in the newspaper

and he still has yesterday's to finish.

I'll get my jacket.

Hello, Carla.

Billy.

You shouldn't have come back here.

I never left. There are cops
all over the place, you know that.

No, I didn't.
They were here to ask us about you--

Well, you don’t know
you’re staked out either, I suppose.

Staked out?

They're holed up right across the street
from your apartment.

Carla, I'm hungry.

I need a place to hide out
until they stop looking for me.

Now, you go upstairs,
make sure the shades are drawn.

Carla,

I wouldn't hurt you.

Well, you know that.

And you wouldn't hurt me either,
would you?

Of course not.

Billy, they’re going to find you
sooner or later,

and when they do, you'll be
in worse trouble than you are now--

That's not possible.

Come on, let's--

Billy, I know you couldn't k*ll anybody,
but the way to prove you're innocent--

Look,

let's get one thing straight, Carla.

I'm not innocent.

Go.

Your family thinks you went
for your Saturday morning walk.

Ben, I know what I'm doing.

I don't know why a man runs
when he's not even sure he has to.

I am sure.

Ben, I owe it to my children
to let them become Americans.

They need it,
and they will become good citizens.

As an American yourself, please,

I beg of you,
just allow me to disappear.

Twenty-five years a surgeon,

you're gonna give all that up
without a fight?

Oh, I had intended to fight,

but if you could see the faces
of those who believed I--

I've seen the faces.

You?

Josef, they’re sure to have done
an autopsy on that girl.

Possibly.

Possibly not.

Besides, the post-mortem might have
even proved my guilt in their eyes.

I will not take the chance.

I will not gamble with my freedom

or the freedom of my children.

Ben, the argument is finished.

No, it isn't.

What you're about to do now is
the worst thing you could possibly do.

Josef, you leave town now
and the police will be positive

that you're doing it
because you helped Billy Karnes.

Oh, nonsense.

They'll have an APB out on you
in a matter of hours.

An APB, what is that?

All-points bulletin.
Every police station, every policeman,

every motorcycle cop
will have your description.

They'll pick you up
before you get out of the state.

You told me you couldn't stand
an investigation right now.

Jan?

I'll go.

Sit down.

Billy,

isn't there some way...?

No, Carla.

I k*lled a man. They want me for it.

I'm sorry.

That shade's been down
for more than ten minutes.

- I don't know what to make of it.
- Why make anything out of it?

There's one down over there
and there's one over there too.

- Macklin.
- This is Charney.

I got a make on those fingerprints
on the coffee cup.

He's Richard Kimble.

- Who?
- Dr. Richard Kimble.

You remember that guy in Indiana
who--?

Yeah, sure.
Was convicted and then escaped.

Are you sure, Sarge?

They're his fingerprints.

Now, you and Tom go over
and nail him, and be careful.

- He’s out.
- What?

Left about an hour ago,
no suitcases or anything.

- And he wasn't in a hurry.
- All right.

Chances are he'll be coming back,
and when he does, you two be ready.

I'm on my way.

All right.

Why don’t I go up
to the Korak apartment and wait there?

Not a bad idea.

If he comes, I can follow him in.

You think they'll let you in?

Carla will.

Who is it?

It's Jim Macklin.

You know, from work.
Uh, I met you yesterday.

I wanna talk to you.

No, I'm sorry. I'm busy.

Carla, you've gotta open up.
I'm here on official police business.

You hear me, Carla?

Just a minute.

Just a minute.

I don't wanna have
to break the door open, Carla.

I'm coming.

Don't be scared, Carla.
Good morning, folks.

Is there something wrong?

Well, we found out your friend Russell

is really a character
named Dr. Richard Kimble.

- And Dr. Richard Kimble--
- Don't move, cop.

All right, raise them up.

Higher.

Turn around.

You know I won't hurt her,
but the oops might.

So don't say anything to anybody.

You hear?

Put your hands behind your back,
Carla.

VVhere's Carla?

That boy, Billy Karnes,
she's with him.

Where?

Josef, you take over here.
I'll go find out where Carla is.

He won't harm her. I know he won't.
He love her.

What do you mean
he won't harm her?

She'll be safe
if you don't do anything to frighten him.

Please.

Very little blood now.

Dark.

It's venous, I'm sure.

His pulse is weak.
There must be internal bleeding.

Vena cava.

The b*llet probably severed
the branch of the vena cava.

- That's the--
- I know what it is.

We'll have to go in and tie it off.

Oh, it's been too long.

You'd better call a doctor.

There isn't time, Josef.

Ben. Ben, listen.
This man is a policeman.

He says that
you're Dr. Richard Kimble.

He came here to arrest you.
Please, you must go.

You're a doctor, Ben?

Well, then you do it.

I was a pediatrician, Josef.
You're the surgeon.

You're right. Go. Go.

You can't do it alone.

- Have you ever done this before?
- Once, as an intern.

Once is not enough.

Give it to me. Please, go.

It'll take both of us.

Bowlen, stop!

Retract.

Good.

Now cut.

I'm not sure of these sutures.

We'd better leave the clamps in
until he gets to the hospital.

I agree.

Pack it, but don't make the closure.

You did a wonderful job, doctor.

Well, I’ve heard
about kitchen surgery.

And this was truly it.

Thank you.

You saved him.

Well, the bleeding was stopped.

Of course, there's still
severe danger of infection.

You can't leave it now, Josef.
It's where you belong.

Good luck, doctor.

Good luck to you, doctor.

Up there.

First of all, he needs blood.

We have a plasma setup
in the ambulance.

- Wait a minute.
- Carla.

- How is he?
- His pulse is still pretty slow--

His chances would greatly improve
if you let him get to the hospital.

Your friend, uh, what's his name?

Ben Russell.

Oh, yes. I'd like to talk with him.

Macklin's a good man.

I'd like to thank Dr., uh, Russell
for saving his life.

Sergeant, I performed the operation.

You?

Oh, come, Mr. Korak.

Sergeant,

my father's a surgeon.

Hmm.

That's quite a medical feat
you performed,

especially without assistance.

Yeah.

It's amazing sometimes,
what one can do when one must.

I'd still like to see Ben Russell.
Is he coming back?

Oh, uh, he said he was going to go
to the market, didn't he?

And that was sometime ago.

It's really a shame he wasn't here.

I'm sure he would have been
a big help to you in the operation.

But, of course,
you had no way of knowing that,

did you?

Yes, Dr. Korak,
he also has medical knowledge.

- So long.
- Sergeant?

Yes?

May I come to the station with you
and talk to someone there?

Chief of police, perhaps?

I have a problem
with which I need some help.

Sorry, doctor. You're under arrest.

I understand, sergeant.

No, put those things away.

First thing you have to do, doctor,
is clear up the abortion charge.

That's a police matter.

Then there'll be a medical board of
inquiry Tuesday morning in New York.

VVhere's your family?

Why aren’t they around here
with a lawyer?

I don't need a lawyer for this hearing,
sergeant.

And I hope that is as far as it will go.

As for my children,

I didn't want them to be here.

You see,
this is an important day for them.

They're becoming citizens.

He stands convicted
of a crime he did not commit.

His full-time occupation
is a search for the guilty man.

There is no one who has
a greater appreciation of freedom

And of the blessings of liberty

than Richard Kimble, fugitive.
