When Gerard finally captures Kimble in Part 1 of "The Judgment", he does not gloat over the arrest, reflecting his respect for his adversary and possibly his recollections of Kimble's past attempts to save him and help others while on the run. "I'm sorry", he says. "You just ran out of time." His decision to give Kimble 24 hours to clear himself in Part 2 of "The Judgment" also reflects that respect and his increasing doubts of Kimble's guilt regardless of the conviction. That leads to the climactic scenes where the truth of Helen Kimble's murder emerges along with an eyewitness, family friend and war hero Lloyd Chandler, who was at the Kimble home, witnessed Fred Johnson murder Helen Kimble, but was too cowardly to intervene. Ironically, as Kimble and Johnson fight atop a carnival ride, Gerard fatally shoots Johnson just before he can shoot Kimble. Gerard firmly tells Chandler "you can keep that man (Kimble) alive. But you won't." Gerard's comments lead Chandler to agree to testify. After Kimble is exonerated in court, Gerard encounters Kimble leaving, silently smiles and offers his hand. After hesitating, Kimble shakes it.
