<P> Kimble returns to Chicago to hunt for the murderer and acquires money from his friend and colleague Dr. Charles Nichols . Posing as a janitor , Kimble enters the local county hospital 's prosthetic department to obtain a list of people who had their prosthetic arm repaired shortly after his wife 's murder . Following a police lead confirming Kimble 's recent whereabouts , Gerard speculates that Kimble is searching for the one - armed man . Kimble breaks into the residence of one of the people on the list , a former police officer named Fredrick Sykes . Kimble discovers that Sykes is the murderer and is employed by a pharmaceutical company , Devlin MacGregor , which is scheduled to release a new drug called Provasic . Kimble investigated the drug in the past and revealed that it caused liver damage , which would have prevented it from being approved by the FDA . He also deduces that Nichols , who is leading the drug 's development , arranged a cover - up and ordered Sykes to kill him -- his wife 's death was incidental . Gerard follows Kimble 's lead to Sykes ' home and draws the same conclusion . </P>
