    Storyline

    Edit
    Dr. Kimble is now working as a "timekeeper" at a Utah construction site. There's also a young man named Jamie working there as a "water boy" whom the heavy machinery operators make fun of and generally try to run out. They succeed. The boss fires Jamie, but Kimble tells Jamie that he should go say goodbye to the boss's wife before he leaves in the morning. That night, the boss's wife is attacked and Jamie is witnessed leaving her trailer immediately after the attack. Kimble tries to convince the boss and everyone else that they're accusing the wrong man.

    • Quotes

      Narrator: [Opening Narration. Viewers see earth-moving machinery at a construction site] The place: Utah - the hills above Salt Lake City. The project: to move a mountain. Giant machines and armies of men moving millions of tons of earth to make way for a river - a river which one day will turn the desert into Eden.

      [Viewers see Richard Kimble, clipboard in hand, emerge from a shack]

      Narrator: For Richard Kimble, the mountain offers protection, Here, he is Paul Beaumont, timekeeper, lost among the other workers. Here, he feels he can rest awhile. Here, he is safe.

    12/17/63: "Terror at High Point"
    Jack Klugman is running a construction gang on a big project. His wife, (Elizabeth Allen) has convinced him, against his will to take on a semi-retarded worker Jamie, (Buck Henry). Richard Kimble is also part of the crew, doing the timekeeping. He befriends Taylor, who is constantly the butt of jokes among the crew, especially one played by James Best. Jack, (his character's name, ironically, is "Buck"), had a retarded brother he had to spend his early days looking after and he grew tired of it and l the attention the brother got. Then his wife is assaulted and Jamie is seen running from the trailer. Kimble again has to go into his sleuth mode to determine what actually happened.

    This was filmed at an actual construction site. The head of the crew was an out-of-work actor who let them use his site if he could have a role in the story. Judging from his IMDb resume, I think he might have been Russ Vincent, who plays "Rufe", one of the troublemakers. Another one of the trouble makers, "Mike" is played by Billy Halop, the original leader of the Dead End Kids.
