FADE IN:

EXT./INT. PASSENGER TRAIN - NIGHT

A train RUMBLES towards us, its Cyclops light peircing the darkness as it heaves a FOGHORN BELLOW.

Two men, handcuffed to each other, sit side by side in passenger seats; one, RICHARD KIMBLE, mid-30's, with salt and pepper hair, gestures towards his vest pocket to the other man, Lieutenant PHILIP GERARD, mid-40's. Gerard reaches into his vest pocket and pulls out a pack of cigarettes, hands him one.

NARRATOR (V.O.)
The name: Dr. Richard Kimble.
Occupation: Doctor of medicine.
Destination: Death Row, State Prison.
The irony: Richard Kimble is innocent. Proved, guilty, what Richard Kimble could not prove was that moments before discovering his murdered wife's body, he saw a one-armed man running from the vicinity of his home. A man that has not yet been found.

Gerard lights Kimble's cigarette. Kimble's pained eyes look on for a beat, then out the window at his reflection against the backdrop of night.

NARRATOR
Richard Kimble ponders his fate as he looks out the window for the last time, and sees only darkness. But in that darkness, Fate moves its huge hand...

The train THUNDERS ON when the wheels CLATTER AND RATTLE abruptly on the rails, jerking the train violently. Kimble and Gerard look up in alarm, then fling forward as passenger car rocks, then spins out of control as the train CRASHES!

Moments later, TRAIN CREW help pull struggling PASSENGERS out of the steaming wreckage of the derailed train.

EXT. SWAMP

A frog CROAKS as it sits on a lone rock on the shore. Kimble sprints through the woods, tumbles into the water with a SPLASH.
He clutches his temples as he pants frantically. A twisted and gnarled empty cuff dangles from the other one on his wrist. A spark of light weaves up from the broken cuff and bursts into

THE FUGITIVE

A *C-A* Production

Starring David Janssen as Dr. Richard Kimble.
An innocent victim of blind justice.
Falsely convicted for the murder of his wife.
Reprieved by fate when a train wreck freed him en route to the death house.
Freed him...to hide in lonely desparation.
To change his identity.
To toil at many 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!

EXT. BUS DEPOT, PEEKSKILL, NEW YORK - DAY

A bus pulls up to a stop, opens its doors. Its passengers step out, its final one, Richard Kimble, carrying a small suitcase. He scans the scene, heads for the depot diner.

INT. DINER

Kimble sits at a booth, opens up a newspaper to the want ads. A perky young waitress with wavy long brown hair, HEATHER, steps up with a coffee pot, pours him a cup.

HEATHER
Morning. What can I get for you today?

KIMBLE
Scrambled eggs, sausage, and wheat toast.

HEATHER
Right away. You must be hungry from your long trip.
Plan to be in town long?

Kimble's lip twitches nervously.

KIMBLE
Depends if I find work soon.

HEATHER
You have a nice face. You should have no
problem finding a job.

Dude: I love it

A Facts of Life/ The Fugitive Crossover

I can't wait to read it, I know it will be intresting, just because It's two of my Favorite Shows.

Speaking of the Fugitive, you do know what that's really about don't you?

ABlairican Pie · 08-23-2003, 10:07 AM

The Fugitive was (allegedly) about the Sam Shepard case about a doctor in the 50's who was accused of killing his wife, but the show's creator Roy Huggins said it was more modernized version of the 50's Western "Shane" where a wanted drifter went from town to town and had some impact on the lives of its citizens. (This is from the quote I remember reading.) He said that the Sam Shepard case was actually coincidental. (Or is it?

)

I wish they had a Fugitive board here!

Ok, Just Checking

I Have read that too and No I don't thik Bearing resembalance ti the Shepard case was a Accident, I think it was intended that way.

I Think It was Changed to resemble a popular TV Show to sell it to the Public, While at the same Time, Showing Everyone that it really could happen.

But maybe that's just me.

I know, Me too.

Great, I can't Wait

ABlairican Pie · 08-25-2003, 08:44 AM

KIMBLE
You certainly are earning your tip.
Your face looks like it could take you places
as well.

She smiles, then turns away.

HEATHER
It did.

She picks up the menu and pours him a cup of coffee.

HEATHER
But that's all in the past. As your official
greeter, I want to welcome you to Peekskill.
I wish I could say that there are many places
of interest here, but--

Two POLICEMEN enter, sit down at the booth next to him. He looks up in alarm and bolts out. She looks on in bewilderment.

HEATHER
Sir? Your coffee.

Kimble exits. The two cops, engaged in conversation, pay no attention to this. She watches him as he leaves, then moves on to the table with the officers.

EXT. DOWNTOWN PEEKSKILL

Kimble strides down the streets, glancing at the shop windows as PASSERSBY drift on around him.

NARRATOR
Another town in a never-ending trail of towns.
Peekskill, a borough in rural upstate New York.
Richard Kimble remains a face that blends in
with countless other faces in the village. But even
in quiet Peekskill, danger lurks in wait in that silence.

INT. EDNA'S EDIBLES

The door bells JINGLE as Kimble enters. He strolls up to the counter, examines the decor when Natalie and Tootie step out of the kitchen.

NATALIE
Good morning, sir, welcome to Edna's Edibles.
Would you care to try our Breakfast Croissant
Special?

KIMBLE
I'd like a job application.

Tootie reaches into a drawer, pulls out a sheet and hands it to him.

TOOTIE
Here you go, sir.

KIMBLE
Thank you.

He sits down at a table, fills it out. Mrs. Garrett bustles out of the kitchen with a basket full of muffins.

GARRETT
Girls, I need your help with the second
batch in the kitchen.

She spots Kimble, steps up to him.

(continued)

Jo_Marie · 08-25-2003, 07:04 PM

And then What! come on you can't leave me there.

ABlairican Pie · 08-26-2003, 08:37 AM

GARRETT
Oh--I didn't see we had a customer.
Would you care for one of my special
mandarin-apple muffins on the house?

KIMBLE
Thank you, no, I just ate.

NATALIE
Trying one of Mrs. Garrett's muffins will
greatly ensure employment prospects.

He takes a muffin from the basket.

GARRETT
You're applying for a job!

He rises, hands the app to her. She scans it.

KIMBLE
I'm new in town. Since I don't have a
phone, I could just stop by for an interview
at your earliest convenience.

GARRETT
Well, let's interview now.

She pulls up a chair. Both she and Kimble sit down. He breaks the muffin in half and nibbles.

GARRETT
Ben Carvin. May I call you Ben?

KIMBLE
Sure.

She reads from the sheet.

GARRETT
Last employer: Apex Steel Works,
Albany, Oregon? Not only is
working at a gourmet food shop a step
down, but quite a few steps way from the
West Coast.

KIMBLE
There were layoffs, and I wasn't too lucky.
The economy will do that.

She puts on her glasses, examines the paper closely.

GARRETT
Mr. Carvin, I see the references section is
blank. I know you've come a long way, but
are you able to provide at least one reference?

KIMBLE
I'd have to look up his name, but it's been
a while.

GARRETT
You seem like such a nice young man to be
alone, with friends who must miss you.
You're hired!

Natalie and Tootie gape in suprise as Mrs. Garrett and Kimble shake hands.

NATALIE
Mrs. Garrett, you've finally hired a man
for the store!

Andy ambles in from the living room.

ANDY
And what am I, chopped liverwurst?

GARRETT
Don't worry, Andy, there's enough room
for the both of you.

Mrs. Garrett enters the kitchen with Tootie following behind.
