days, nights,

weekends, holidays.

No.

No, you can't.

Yes, I can.

I'm going to

hang out with you

until the end of time.

All right, move it in. Let's go.

Step onto the numbers.

Face front.

Everybody, hands to your side.

That's the creep.

Who?

Number five.

That's him.

Good.

Very good.

Mr. Crisp, you will be

remanded into custody

until your trial.

Bailiff, remove the prisoner.

Shh. Don't say anything.

Just take it easy.

I'll take care of it.

Trust me.

You know what to do?

I'm your mother, aren't I?

Mind if I talk

to my friend a little bit?

I'm not talking to anybody

without my lawyer.

He's right in here.

You give me the names

of your drug suppliers

and distributors...

and I'll tell the judge

what a nice, cooperative killer

you are.

You think the jury's

going to convict me

on the testimony

of that junkie?

You could be right.

But what about your wife?

You remember her?

All that hard-earned drug money

she stole from you?

How much was it...

$3 million?

I bet she would make

a much better witness.

Kimble, you've wasted years

chasing after me...

and what has it

gotten you, hmm?

Nothing.

I'll be out in a week...

and you'll still be

eating take-out food

in that dump you live in.

Yeah, I know all

about you, Kimble.

Without me, you wouldn't

even have a life.

My old lady left

'cause of the money.

Yours left because she just

couldn't stand the sight of you.

I've never seen anyone

so little

eat so much.

Yeah, I know.

I'm hypoglycemic.

If I don't eat regularly...

I get a little nuts.

So... where you from?

Austria.

How long you been a cop?

I been a cop for 12 years.

My father was a cop...

my brother was a cop...

my mother was a cop's wife.

And I have no hobbies.

You two are booked on the first

flight to Portland tomorrow.

Locate Crisp's wife

and offer her immunity

in exchange for

her testimony against him.

No offense to O'Hallahan...

but this is my case,

and I work alone.

He works alone.

Not anymore.

She's going in undercover

as a substitute

kindergarten teacher.

Not exactly a job for you.

I used to be a teacher.

We'll be fine.

What do I do?

She locates the kid...

you find the mother

and the cash...

and Crisp spends his life

making license plates.

Bon voyage.

Oh, and, Kimble,

the name's O'Hara.

OK. Here's the wife at 17.

Real name's Rachel Myatt.

She's from Hannibal, Missouri,

class of '76.

Cheerleader, first violin

in the school orchestra...

captain of the girls'

softball team.

Her ambition was "To travel...

experience life...

and meet interesting people."

Like Crisp.

Okay.

Relax.

Don't let him get to you.

That's her 10 years later.
