CREDITS BEGIN OVER:
Snow swirls around the tall buildings of downtown Chicago.
Cars, taxis, limos line the street. A cab pulls up and MAN
INT. CHICAGO HOTEL - BALLROOM - NIGHT
THROUGH arriving guests we PICK UP the Man climbing stairs
to the ballroom.
ANGLE - COAT CHECK
The Man hands his coat to coat check woman and thanks her.
When he turns we get our first view of DR. RICHARD KIMBLE,
a tall, athletic man, with a trim beard.
He moves from the outer lobby into a fabulously decorated
ballroom where a fashion show is taking place as a medical
fundraiser. Doctors and their spouses, hospital brass and
sponsors mingle. Women sit near the runway watching the
models. Men talk by the bar. The room is packed.
A banner over the rostrum says: "CHILDREN'S RESEARCH AND
AID FOUNDATION"
Kimble is handed a glass of champagne, which he promptly
sets on another waiter's passing tray.
ROBERTS (V.O.)
Richard...
DR. ROBERTS, a large surgeon, pulls Kimble over to a group
of surgeons gathered around a bar. Smoking cigars.
ROBERTS:
Cancun. Nat just talked everybody
into it...
A hospital equipment rep, NAT, is buying drinks.
KIMBLE:
So, what's the deal? If the hospital
buys ten new -
NAT:
No, no, no, no strings attached, Dr.
Kimble. Industrial Hospital Supply
has no ulterior motives.
KIMBLE:
On the house, huh?
(to bartender)
Tonic water with lime.
Everyone agrees.
KIMBLE:
Never get me to sell my soul for one
of those trips...
His tone silences the group. Kimble takes his drink.
KIMBLE:
(to Nat)
... But if you get any more Bulls
tickets, Nat, give me a call.
The group laughs, Kimble extracts himself and CREDITS

KIMBLE:
Moving through the crowd.

KIMBLE:
Nearly gets hit in the follow-through of an imaginary
golf swing.
KIMBLE:
You're slicing, Dave. Don't turn
your hip.
He keeps moving.
GOLFING MAN:
Thanks, Richard...
CUT TO:
ANGLE - TOUGH-LOOKING LAB RAT
KATHY WAHLUND, totally out of her element amid the formal
elegance around her. She wears a leather jacket over
T-shirt and stares at the action on the fashion runway.
DR. WAHLUND
(dripping sarcasm)
I'm so glad you talked me into
coming, Richard... I can pick my
cruise wardrobe.
RICHARD:
It's for a good cause, Kath...
Besides you need to get out of the
lab more. Your electron microscope
is starting to give you a tan.
She smiles. He moves on.
ANGLE - PARTY
Kimble continues down the bar when he spots a friend...
KIMBLE:
Hey, Jim.
DR. JAMES NICHOLS turns, smiles. Mid-40s, head of the
University Hospital. He is a fit contemporary.
NICHOLS:
Richard, I just saw someone who
wanted to meet you...
Just then Kimble spots an attractive WOMAN, late thirties,
wearing a drop-dead, simple black gown. She's surrounded by
a group of men hanging on her every word. She and Kimble
catch a look and hold it.
NICHOLS (V.O.)
Richard Kimble... Alex Lentz. Alex
is working on the RDU90 trials for
Devlin-Macgregor.
Kimble turns to meet DR. ALEXANDER LENTZ, late 30s, tan,
smiling. Lentz extends his hand...
LENTZ:
Dr. Kimble... Sorry, we've been
trading phone calls last few days
... something about a biopsy report
I returned to you?
KIMBLE:
(suddenly attentive)
Yeah... Three. Livers appeared
hepatetic to me.
LENTZ:
I'll be in my office in the morning
and I'll pull up the samples. Is that
a good time for you?
KIMBLE:
Sure.
LENTZ:
(holds Kimble's look,
then to Nichols)
See you, Jim.
Lentz moves on. Kimble looks after him a beat, then focuses
on relocating the Woman he just saw. She's gone. He and
