Picks up where part 1 left off. Dick is taking Marie into Tilden to get help for her blindness. There is an apparently disabled car across the road. A blonde asks Dick for help, and Dick is duty bound to give help when he can, especially when it's a blonde. He sees two toughs hanging out by the car. Bruce Dern would have been perfect here, but these two, Bob and Cedric, aren't bad. There happens to be a nice armoire in the back of Kimble's truck, and the two hoods admire it. Dick wants to get past them, but Bob says they are taking the armoire, and that's all there is to it. Kimble protests, but Bob says if you want me to hurt you, I can hurt you, and clobbers Dick with a pipe. They take the armoire, and Dick drives Marie into Tilden. Well, the truck runs out of gas before they get there, so they walk. Tilden, it turns out, has been evacuated because of the flood, although the town is dry as a bone. Kimble goes into the bar where Bob and Cedric are hanging out with their girlfriend. He tells them that Marie could die if they don't get help, but Cedric sneaks out to get a good look at her. He has fun throwing books at her and scaring the living heck out of her. Her screams alert Kimble, who takes Bob's pipe away from him. Bob, Ced and the girl run away terrified as Dick tends to Marie. Dick, who had a 5 o'clock shadow in part 1, now has a 12 o'clock shadow. Nice continuity. He has some cheese and crackers, his first food in several days, as he and Marie talk about their backgrounds. When Dick mentions the twice a week Stafford newspaper, Marie knows who he is. Strange that Dick doesn't recognize her, what with the small town and all. Now, Marie had earlier called Phil, who goes by Phillip to Marie, and told him about the bus accident. She hangs up on him when he won't commit to coming to her. Phillip takes a long look at Dick's wanted poster, and reluctantly says he wants to go to his wife. Dick answers the switchboard when Gerard calls back, and knows Marie has been playing him into staying with her with an offer of a reward and a wild time with her. He starts to leave, but Marie stumbles after him, and he inexplicably comes back to her, with an ambulance on the way. Why would he do that? Unless at that moment, he was so tired of the chase that he wanted to just give up. Fortunately, Marie passes out before she can tell anyone that the guy is Richard Kimble, and Dick feels like he's gotten a reprieve and decides to keep going. Like Thelma and Louise. So that may explain that, but what explains why Kimble would continue to use the alias Steve Carver even after he knows that the cops know that Steve Carver is Richard Kimble? Phil is sort of apologetic to Marie in the hospital, but tells her he'll go again when Kimble is seen next time. He then becomes the first man on network television to say that he feels like another man is in his throat and he can't swallow him. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but why would she stay with him after hearing that? But she looks like she feels the same way. You get the feeling that both of them are going to be calling Kimble's name during love making.
