U.S. Marshals Page #4

Synopsis: When a prisoner transport plane crashes, one prisoner, Mark Sheridan, skillfully escapes and saves lives at the same time. Deputy Sam Gerard and his team of U.S. Marshals pursue relentlessly, but Gerard begins to suspect that there is more to the exceptional fugitive than what he has been told. Meanwhile, Sheridan struggles to avoid capture while seeking answers of his own. Until the final scene, both Gerard and Sheridan are in jeopardy of the unknown.

All right. Keep it moving!

Keep it moving! One at a time.

MICHAEL:

I ain't going in that water!

- All the way down here and along that ridge.

- Got you.

Hey, they found the two

that fell from the plane.

That Chinese fellow dropped in some

poor old boy's roof and into the bathtub.

- Looked like a big bowl of gumbo-

- I get the picture, sheriff.

Deputy Gerard, we still got

one prisoner unaccounted for.

Mark Roberts. He was seated in 10-D.

I guess the river got him.

No. No, the river didn't get this guy.

He's loose.

If you can't find him dead someplace,

he's running, folks.

We got a fugitive.

POE:
Seems we have ourselves a bona fide

federal fugitive out on the lam.

Name of Roberts, Mark J.

Uh, somebody give me a map.

- Who's got a map around here?

COP:
I got one.

POE:

Oh, all right. Thanks, Earl.

Okay.

Okay. Now, uh...

I want you setting up roadblocks,

general radius of, uh...

...ahem, uh, 10, 12 miles.

Twenty.

- What?

- He's got a real big head start.

Oh, okay, 20 then.

That sounds good. And...

- In all directions, just like a big-

- Perimeter.

Uh, circle deal.

Uh, which should start

somewhere near, uh...

Uh...

Uh, what do you think?

Said perimeter to extend downstream...

...from Brookport to Mound City.

Every bridge across the Ohio River

from Golconda...

...to Metropolis to Cairo...

...needs to be closed down.

Extending south from Alexander...

...and Pulaski county lines,

have every house, hotel...

...hospital, back road and backwater

searched for Mr. Mark J. Roberts.

[DOGS BARKING]

Get his picture on the local television

and keep it there.

Please consider him dangerous,

and please...

...act accordingly.
