The Fugitive

Kimble finds work on Jake Lawrence's farm, where he develops a special friendship with Jake's autistic daughter, Cathy. But Kimble soon becomes nervous when the local sheriff, Mel Bailey, begins searching for Joe Burmas, a convicted murder having escaped from prison a few weeks before. Burmas attacks and nearly kills Kimble after trapping him inside a truck that crashes into a creek. Meanwhile, back in Stafford, Gerard has the local newspaper establish a $10,000 reward for Kimble's capture hoping someone will respond. A local storekeeper recognizes Kimble's face in the newspaper but decides to collect the money for himself. Kimble then tries to evade capture from a local posse, but he again runs into the murderous Burmas whom also takes Cathy hostage as well.
