Consequences of Confronting Danger
Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard
What can I tell you, sir? Mr. Copeland was a bad man. He was gonna kill one of my kids. Well, sir, you can blame me, I mean I'm the one who shot him. So he showed up not dead yet. Let that be a lesson to you, boys and girls. Don't ever argue with the big dog. The big dog is always right.
[listens; sets down the receiver and hands the file on Copeland over to another agent, then heads into a conference room where his other deputies are listening to the tapped phone call Kimble made to his lawyer; closes the doors behind him; Biggs barks like a happy dog; Gerard leans back in his chair]
Deputy Poole
Yeah you've been right before.
[Gerard laughs dryly]
Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard
All right.
[The techs play the phone call from the beginning; as the conversation plays, we hear a bell ringing in the background; at the point where Walter asks Kimble for his location, the rumbling of a train passing overhead can be heard]
Marshal Henry

Hold it right there! When the lawyer says that he sounds guilty, there's bells in the background, there's a guy on a PA. I wanna drop everything but the guy on the PA. Can you do that?
Technician
Yeah, I'll try it. Hold on.
[presses a few buttons, rewinds the tape, and presses play; at the point where Walter asks Kimble "Why did you run?" a distinguishable P.A. voice comes on]
Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard
Yeah Right there.
PA Announcer on tape
Next stop...
[unintelligible]
Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard
What's he saying? Something like "Next," uh, "stop"? It sounds like "Next stop". Do that again.
[The tech rewinds, presses a few more buttons, and replays that portion of the clip; this time, the announcer is more clearly audible]
PA Announcer on tape
