Conspiracy of Silence

Kimble is working as a bellboy at a hotel in the desert, when peculiar things start to happen. He hears the manager tell people on the phone that the hotel is full, but it is nearly empty. Some of the employees are also sent away.

Kimble decides to flee, but military officers disguised as hotel patrons arrest him. They believe him to be a spy, intent on gathering and passing on information about the military activities. Not surprisingly, Kimble's medical skills become needed.

Kimble has to satisfy the military, evade an enemy intent on his destruction, and somehow manage to escape before the big brass show up.

When this show begins, Richard Kimble is working at an exclusive resort in the desert. It's off season and there aren't that many guests. However, there should be more and Kimble realizes something is afoot when he overhears the reservation desk telling people on the phone that they cannot take any reservations because they are full! That and the weird behavior of the few guests who are there mean SOMETHING odd if about to happen. What Kimble never could have anticipated is a top secret military operation going on nearby. All he knows is something is about to happen and he tries to sneak away from the place...only to be caught. Eventually they learn who he is and he is held prisoner until the operation is complete. In a way, it's a good thing he is there as the only doctor they have is overcome by some toxic cloud they are working on...and Kimble is able to lend a hand.

The biggest problem with this one is that the episode ends with so many questions unanswered AND Kimble doing something uncharacteristic. A man is shot, there is no other doctor, and yet Kimble runs away...something that is very inconsistent with who he is based on previous episodes. Not a terrible episode...just not a very good one.

By the way, at one point in the show you see a filthy Kimble after he escaped, rolling about in the dirt and dust. Yet, in the very next scene his clothes are completely clean!
