Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The Fugitive wraps up its four-season run with Part One of the series' legendary final episode "The Judgment". Having learned that Fred Johnson (Bill Raisch), the elusive one-armed man who committed the murder for which Kimble was wrongfully condemned, has been arrested in Tucson, Kimble makes a beeline to the police station--followed closely by his own perennial pursuer Lt. Gerard (Barry Morse). But both men manage to elude capture: Kimble is alerted to Gerard's presence by longtime friend Jean Carlisle (Diane Baker), while Johnson is bailed out by an unknown benefactor. During a confrontation with blackmailing bailbondsman Art Howe (Michael Constantine), Johnson commits another murder and also learns the identity of the person who posted his bond--whereupon he heads for Kimble's home town of Stafford, Indiana. Before long, Kimble has caught up with Johnson...only to be apprehended by the relentless Gerard.
