THE FUGITIVE 9/14/65 “Wings of an Angel”
The third season opens with Richard Kimble finding himself exactly where he least wants to be: in prison. He’s on a bus that gets stopped by the police. But it turns out they aren’t searching for Richard Kimble. Another passenger is an escapee from the local prison. He has a “shiv” and threatens to use it on a young woman. Kimble grabs it from him and gets in a fight with the man. He gets stabbed but the man gets shot. The police congratulate Kimble for being a hero and assure him he’ll get the best of care at the nearest hospital- the prison hospital.
They’ve done him another ‘favor’ by contacting the local press who want to do a story with picture of the newly minted ‘hero’. But that isn’t Kimble’s biggest problem. Two prisoners have recognized him from when they were in prison in Indiana. And they want him to steal drugs from the prison hospital so they can sell them in the prison- or else they’ll squeal on the ‘hero’. Kimble dreads helping drug addicts fall off the wagon. But what can he do?
A nice, tight, tense episode to open the third season of this classic series.
