En route to death row, Kimble's train derails over a switch, allowing him to escape and begin a cross-country search for the real killer, a one-armed man. At the same time, Kimble is hounded by the authorities, most notably the relentless Police Lieutenant Philip Gerard (Barry Morse). 10 p.m. on ABC.
