White Horse, Steel Horse
Ben, one of a number of hired laborers on a farm, witnesses a sheriff accidentally shot by a couple of workers who are upset over withheld wages. The farm owner organizes an ""Honor Posse"" to hunt down the men. Ben runs, not because he had part in the shooting but because he got word that Fletcher is nearby. The posse captures Ben and the man who shot the sheriff. The farm owner, a friend of the sheriff, implicates Ben in the crime because Ben worked on the getaway motorcycles just before the incident. When the sheriff dies Ben is charged with the murder, which temporarily keeps him out of Fletcher's hands. Ben's options are to allow Fletcher to take him from the posse and into Maitland's custody, or to face the angry posse leader who is more than happy to kill to ensure the dead sheriff receives ""justice"".

The Queen's Gambit
A woman's car breaks down near Ben as he stands hitchhiking. He fixes her car, then uses it to escape when he spots the ubiquitous black car nearby.

Too friendly, in fact, but Ben only realizes that after he is shot with a tranquilizer and whisked away to a remote country. The woman, he discovers, works for his captor. The younger but equally ruthless billionaire holding Ben (who is thought dead thanks to a staged car accident that Fletcher witnesses) wants to tap the immortality in Ben's veins. Ben tries to bribe one of the guards, but the guard turns up dead. Ben has only two people to turn to in hope for escape: the hematologist who performed the blood transfusion, and the woman who led him into the trap initially, but she admits to Ben that she has lied to him from the beginning.

Dead Man, Dead Man
Hitchhiking Ben had been viewing wallet photos of a driver's family when the driver runs off the road and crashes down an embankment into a fast-moving river. Ben, thrown free and only slightly injured, uses the wallet to assume the dead man's identity when he hears Fletcher is inquiring about the accident. This poses a problem: the man was a Philadelphia policeman who journeyed to the small California town to take a fugitive back to Pennsylvania. The prisoner has assumed an identity of his own, that of a physician, which is what is he facing charges for. Fletcher is unwilling to accept that Ben perished in the crash. He keeps vigil at the crash site and scours the town with photos of Ben. With the only road in and out of town closed for repairs, Ben has to avoid Fletcher and an angry resident who thinks nothing of resorting to violence to keep the doctor from being arrested. He also must hope that the prisoner will not reveal Ben's true identity and that the real policeman's b

After prompting from the manager of the company that owns the property, the sheriff shows Ben a tombstone with Jason Richards' name on it and claims Jason died in a scuba diving accident. The town has been sold to a developer to be turned into a resort, and most of the town's 900 residents have left. The few that remain stand to make a lot of money from the resort project, and they don't appreciate a stranger like Ben asking questions about Jason's death. Ben is not satisfied with the answers -- more precisely, the lack of answers and downright lies -- that he gets when he mentions Jason's name. He is worked over and driven off the property, but he returns. Even though he discovers Jason is not his brother, Ben is determined to find out the truth ab

Ben knows that his blood will save the young man's life. He suspects Dr. Pierce's phone is tapped, but he phones anyway to prove what he has said about his blood to the doctor treating the comatose man. Fletcher is indeed listening, and soon Ben is cornered in a phone booth. Ben has one request of Fletcher: he wants to warn his friend that the comatose student's father is en route with a gun.

Sanctuary
Ben's latest escape from Fletcher takes him onto an Indian reservation. His transportation is not very reliable -- a dune buggy he almost finished repairing before fleeing in it. Three young Indians on horseback offer to help Ben -- for money. Ben falls down an embankment and is thought dead by the youths, but the tribal elder thinks otherwise and orders them to bring Ben back. Ben recovers and sets about trying to repair the dune buggy, having to improvise because there are no mechanic tools. Fletcher's men spot the dune buggy's tracks and move in. Firing tear gas into the compound, they grab Ben and head away from the reservation with the youths in pursuit on horseback.

Brother's Keeper
Ben has located a man named Jason Richards who once lived in an orphanage. Ben may have found his brother, but before he can introduce himself Fletcher shows up. Because he has researched Jason and knows about his money problems, the first thing Fletcher offers is $20,000 in exchange for a six-month stint at the National Research Institute. Jason, concerned about Ben's actions (forcing his way into his house, taking his car to escape from Fletcher), quickly agrees. He has a change of heart when he gets a taste of life at the National Research Institute: locked doors, no outgoing phone calls, and men who strong-arm him if he persists in his requests. Ben helps Jason and his wife escape. Ben and Jason seek refuge at a remote fishing camp where they can talk about a past that Jason cannot remember because of a head injury, and about the prospects of the blood that they might both share. When Fletcher shows up holding Jason's wife captive, Ben must try to talk Jason out of surrender
