1!!The TV series:
2
3* In the [[GrandFinale final episode]]:
4** [[spoiler:Gerard giving Kimble 24 hours to find out who helped the One-Armed Man jump bail.]]
5** [[spoiler:In TheTag, [[https://youtu.be/Js8bjD9jM3k Gerard extending his hand to Kimble as he's leaving the courtroom]], and Kimble wordlessly shaking it.]]
6** [[spoiler:The final bit of narration: ''"Tuesday, August twenty-ninth. The day... the running... stopped."'' Note that in Canada the finale was aired one week later, and the narration was adjusted to 'Tuesday, September fifth . . .']]
7
8!!The movie:
9
10* Kimble risking his freedom to tend to an injured boy, saving his life.
11* In another example of his heroic nature, Kimble manages to get the shivved guard out of the bus just before the train hits. He risked his life to save a man he didn't even know from a brutal death, which SHOULD have been a clue to officials that he wasn't a bad guy from the start. Doubles as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
12** He saved this guard *twice*. Once from the train, and again by instructing the ambulance crew on his injuries.
13* When Kimble and Gerard meet again.
14-->'''Kimble:''' (''gestures down to the now-unconscious [[spoiler:Nichols]]'') They killed my wife.
15-->'''Gerard:''' I know it, Richard. ''I know it.'' But it's over now.
16* "I thought you didn't care." "I don't. Don't tell anybody, okay?"
17* After Gerard saves Newman from Copeland, [[https://youtu.be/kYk22NzOMjk albeit shooting him at point blank range]]:
18-->'''Gerard:''' How are you feeling?
19-->'''Newman:''' Lousy. I have ringing in my ears. I'm afraid I may suffer permanent hearing loss.
20-->'''Gerard:''' You honestly believe I should have bargained with that man. That I should have listened to what he had to say, despite the fact he had you at gunpoint?
21-->'''Newman:''' (''pausing'') Yeah.
22-->'''Gerard:''' Can you hear me in this ear?
23-->'''Newman:''' Yes.
24-->'''Gerard:''' (''whispering'') [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I. Don't. Bargain.]]
25** While that moment doesn't seem to be very heartwarming, the offhanded comment Gerard gives to one of his superiors over the phone afterwards definitely is.
26--> '''Gerard''': What can I tell you, sir? Mr. Copeland was a bad man. He was gonna kill one of my [[AFatherToHisMen kids]]. (''the man on the other end is still looking for someone to blame'') Well, sir, you can blame me. I mean, I'm the one who shot him. (''abruptly hangs up the phone'')
27* After messing around with him all film, Gerard pointedly and publicly praises Newman's police work after his effective questioning of Bones Roosevelt.
28* While Copeland was an asshole for not helping Kimble rescue the wounded guard during the derailment, [[PetTheDog he does help a weak and weary Kimble reach higher ground before going their separate ways]].
