• I’m not sure if he did the right thing. There may be
some other ways to prove his innocence.
• I think he made the right decision to escape. Otherwise
he will die in prison.
7 Possible answers:
Food: You might be always hungry. You may have to eat
some rubbish, or you may have to steal something from a
farm or look for something in the woods.
Clothes: You cannot wash your clothes. You may have to
steal.
Sleep: You have to find a place where you can sleep for
free. Perhaps you can sleep in a park. You have to be
careful not to be found.
8 Possible answers:

• He will keep looking for Kimble even if he is dead.
• I think he will look carefully around the river to find
Kimble or Kimble’s body.

catching Kimble dead or alive is his job.

wants Gerard to come and see the flat. He wants to let

The Fugitive
14 Possible answers:
• I don’t think it was an accident.
• It was probably not an accident. It may look like an
accident, but I think Nichols arranged for the car
accident to happen.
• I think Nichols paid Sykes to kill Lentz.
15 Suggested answers:
• Perhaps he believes that Kimble asked Sykes to kill his
wife.
• Probably because he wants evidence of the connection
between Kimble and Sykes.
16 Possible conversations:
Sykes: Hello?
Nichols: It’s me. Did you get the money from Lentz?
S: Yes.
N: I’ve got his car keys now. I’ll go into his house from the
garage and unlock the back door. When you get here, go
inside from the back door. After that, you know what to
do.
S: Of course. It’s a piece of cake.
17–18 Open answers
19 Possible answers:
• I think he will be sad because Nichols was his friend.
He is sad because his friend thinks money is the most
important thing.
• I think he goes back to his old job.
• I think he should start a new life in a new city.
• I think he should start life again in Chicago because
now everyone knows that he is innocent.
