Quotes
[Epilog Closing Narration. Viewers see a train speeding down the tracks. Inside one of the box cars, viewers see Fred Johnson, the one armed man]
Narrator: A free man, Fred Johnson, boarded a train that will take him east, to Indiana... to Stafford.
[Viewers then see another train, with Lt. Gerard sitting next to Richard Kimble, almost exactly as they sat on the fateful train ride that led to Kimble's escape]
Narrator: Hours later, two men boarded another train that will bring them to the same destination. For one of these, the moment of arrival will be one of grim and long-sought triumph. For the other, his homecoming will mark only one more stop on his way to a destiny decreed in a court of law years before.
[Viewers see Richard Kimble close up, his facial expression unchanged but his eyes conveying the terrifying reality of his pending wrongful death]
Narrator: Richard Kimble is on his way home... and to an overdue appointment... with death.

Good episode but overrated.

This final episode of 'The Fugitive' is a very good one but I don't think it deserves the rating of 9.0 on this site.

Yes it provides the conclusion to one of the best and most popular series of the sixties but check out the episodes 'Wife Killer' with Janice Rule,'Echo of a Nightmare' with Shirley Knight and 'In a Plain Paper Wrapper' with Lois Nettleton all from the Emmy winning 3rd series and hopefully you'll agree.
