All language subtitles for Walker 2x12 - Common Ground (English)

_

Yesterday, as families
watched Jojo's comet

pass above Austin skies,

tragedy loomed just below.

Local rancher, Marv Davidson,

appears to have burned
alive in his own barn

late last night. While
authorities have not yet

identified the cause of the blaze,

we were able to speak
with Mrs. Davidson

to recount the details
of the gruesome scene.

It figures that he would,

he would run into a burning building,

you know, to protect
those kids. He was...

He was always sacrificing.

The weight of the
accident on your daughter

- must've been...
- It was,

- it was no accident.
- I'm sorry?

I shouldn't have said anything.

If someone is at fault here,

I think people have a right to know.

I believe it was, it
was the kid next door

who started this fire.

I mean, his family's
always been after mine.

He's responsible.

Cordell Walker murdered my husband.

Cordell Walker...

What are you doing?

I had never seen that. Mom and Dad

asked me to never watch it,

and I guess part of me
never wanted to watch it.

- Yeah, for good reason.
- Yeah.

Why would you even go looking for that?

I couldn't sleep.

You know, I got to thinking about

the last time Davidsons had to move.

It's not your fault.

Yeah, yeah, no, I-I...

Okay.

I got to get a ride in.

Daddy's waiting. He's
gonna be really happy.

Listen, I want to cut a deal

with the Davidsons after the race.

I need you to take a
look at the proposal.

Please.

You know what's crazy
about this whole thing?

I went to law school,

I worked at the best firm

in Manhattan, I was
almost district attorney,

and all of this will be decided

- by a horse race.
- Okay.

All right, hot shot.

You'll be fine, okay?

It's me racing. You know I'm gonna win.

Our land's at stake.

I just think that we
should try and cut a deal

- before the race, not after.
- No.

I don't want the Davidsons thinking

we're scared of a challenge.

We are going to race
tomorrow. We have to,

but we don't

have to start a war. Please.

All right.

Okay, I think...

I think it's over.

Thank you.

You bought the wrong
cleaner at the store.

I bought cleaner that doesn't clean?

Yeah.

Do you have any idea how much

you embarrassed me yesterday?

Drunk...

in front of the new Ranger.

I'm sorry.

I know I said it a million
times, but I'm sorry.

Yeah, and it's completely
lost its meaning.

We cannot keep doing this, Dan.

We cannot.

I am so sick of being the monster

and just repeating myself all the time.

It is not fair.

It's not fair to me.
It's not fair to Cole.

You got to go.

You got to just go

before I get home from work.

Just stop dragging this out.

Denise, I got nowhere else to go.

Well, you always seem
to figure something out.

Cleaner? Seriously?

Please, Mom, you and Dad
invented that fight, okay?

Honey, he knows about the race.

How?

We can't lose him, okay?

He's our best shot at winning tomorrow.

Why? Because of some summer job

he had working for a jockey? Okay, but...

Come on. He worked with
that jockey for five summers.

Do you want the first
time back on a horse

since college to be
racing for this family?

If it comes down to it. Fine.

But, you know what?

This race isn't gonna happen

if I have anything to do with it.

Now, I got to get to work.

Right now with everything going on?

Mom, I reopened the investigation

into Dad's death,

and I need solid evidence
against the Walkers

before this feud makes headlines

because you know they're
just gonna accuse me

of abusing county resources.

What're you saying?
You could lose your job?

I would never be able to be D.A. again.

Here you go.

Do you remember the lantern

Cordell brought into our barn,

right, the night of the fire?

Yeah, we always had lanterns in there.

I'm talking about the
one that he brought.

The one that he left

when you two were
in the hayloft together.

What are you trying to say?
What, he tampered with it?

I... Come on.

That's a stretch, Mom.
I mean, he was just a kid,

and they never found that lantern.

Until a few weeks ago,

when the Walkers found it

and kept it

secret.

Tell me everything you know.

Hey. Morning.

Sorry...

Well, there he is.

You having nightmares
again? You look God awful.

That's very sweet. Thanks, Coach.

I'm here. I'm ready. What's the play?

All right, well, let me see. Let's get to work.

How about if we, um...

Chopper?

I mean, he's

fast as hell, but has he
ever raced before?

- I mean...
- Well, not as such, but

I'm telling you, it's the
best horse I've ever bred.

This rookie'll get you
to the finish line first.

Okay, okay.

Great. Then, I guess...

Whoa, okay, okay.

What's going on? Just the... Okay.

All right, all right.

He's protecting himself.

Looks like I'm not the
only one who senses

something off about you.

Is there something
you're not telling me?

Okay.

I've been thinking,
Dad, maybe we should...

I think we should cut a
deal with the Davidsons

tomorrow, after we win.

Cordell, I don't want to hear it.

I've put together a list
of terms and conditions.

They can at least keep
living on their ranch.

Hear me out.

If we extend an olive branch,

we can end this stupid family feud

once and for all without
any more casualties.

Shots have been fired.

Lines have been drawn.

And somehow,

the Davidsons are always right
there when you turn around.

Now, you've tried to be
a peacekeeper for...

way too damn long now.

Everything is on the line now.

Our land. Our legacy.

I get it.

You focus on that.

CREDITS

I had a dream about you last night.

We were on top of the water tower,

the one downtown.

But when I looked out...

all I could see was fire.

You were screaming,

and I was frozen.

Bon and I aren't really talking.

It's the secrets, I guess.

We keep them, for what?

For who?

And, somehow,

there's always

something we lose.

All right, you got your back straight,

now get your head forward.
Focus where you're going.

- I know how to ride a horse.
- Well, it doesn't look like it.

- Well, he's not going.
- My Lord.

Easy.

Yippee ki-yay, cowboy.

Got your horse nip you requested.

This is my new ranch hand.

- Coach.
- What?

Just consider me your new
assistant for the day.

Whatever you need, I'm here.

- Go on!
- And if he does anything wrong,

I hold him, you slap him.

Well, I'll keep that in mind.

Don't answer.

Don't even think about answering it.

The hell you thinking, boy?

No! Chopper.

It was Denise.

- Could've been about the race.
- My Lord.

- Great.
- Yeah, right.

It's not me, it's Chopper.

Why don't I just ride a different horse?

It has nothing to do with the horse.

I'll show you.

Take one of those sugar cubes,

- give it to Chopper.
- Yes, sir.

Come here, come here.

- Watch her.
- Yeah.

Good boy.

Yeah, I think your dad's right.

This horse is pretty much making out

with my hand right now.

Really?

You really took the
morning off work for this?

Yes, and it was totally worth it.

Okay. All right.

Fine. It's not Chopper, it's me.

I'm in my head.

- Well...
- And my riding is off.

Okay. You know what? Why don't you go on

back to the house. You're done here.

What? Well, you said it yourself.

You can't race.

So, I will.

August. Hey.

Hey, Mrs. Davidson.

Yeah, Colton isn't here right now.

No...

I've been trying to reach your
dad all morning. Is he here?

I haven't heard from him all day.

Well, in that case, would you mind

if I asked you a couple questions?

Sure. I mean, do I need a lawyer

or something? Like...

A lantern was stolen off my property

a couple weeks ago, and you have been

named as a person
involved in the incident,

so would you have any
idea where it could be?

Okay, you're really gonna
confront a kid like this?

I have been trying to find your father.

And catching Augie
on his own is pretty low.

We're not the bad guys here.

August, I just need you
to answer that one question.

What's going on here?

You know what? This doesn't involve you,

- so just...
- Well,

when you're in my place of business,

talking to kids who are
practically my blood,

I would say yeah,

it does concern me.

Okay.

Why don't we find some
neutral ground then?

How's Ranger HQ?

I don't think that's gonna be necessary.

Yeah, no, that's fine.

Let's just...

get this over with.

Great.

Great.

- Augie.
- It's fine.

Okay, I'll go with you.

You know what? You
are not his legal guardian,

but don't worry,

he'll be in good hands.

Let's go.

Augie.

Dad's not picking up. It's
going straight to voice mail.

I told him to come earlier,
so maybe he's on his way.

Okay, you stay here in case he does.

- You hold down the fort.
- Wait, where are you going?

I'm gonna go find that damn lantern.

This is ridiculous.

He always, he always

does this. He has to,

he has to do everything

- alone.
- My God. The snacks in this house

are unreasonably good. I mean, your mom

has, like, three different
types of homemade trail mix.

- All right. - I mean, I am so
invested in this race now.

I mean, yes, obviously,
I was before... Hey. What?

I mean, obviously, I was before, but

- now it's personal.
- What I was saying...

Daddy.

He's being irrational. Am I right?

He doesn't need to agree with me.

I'm not saying that,

but he won't even hear me out

about cutting a deal with the Davidsons.

I mean, look,

he has a point.

The horse thinks you're a fool.

And why would you offer to
cut a deal with the Davidsons

when they're just trying to
take everything from you?

- Hey, sorry.
- Hey, Ger.

Why aren't you answering your phone?

- My phone, well...
- Denise

just ambushed Augie at the bar.

She took him to Ranger
HQ for questioning.

What?

For questioning about what?

- About the lantern.
- The...

The lantern? What...

- what lantern?
- I... Denise

said that Augie might've taken a lantern

from the Davidsons' old barn.

Okay, hold on.

Augie told me he

went to the barn. He
said he hurt his shoulder

climbing around. He didn't say

he took anything.

What's going on here?

Did you know about this?

Okay.

Where is this lantern?

Buried it.

That damn thing has caused
this family nothing but grief.

It's better off six feet under.

That wasn't your decision to make alone.

Can't you see that all these

damn secrets end up hurting us

more than anything the
Davidsons could ever do to us?

I have to ask you this,

and I need you to shoot me straight.

Where did you bury that lantern?

- Stel.
- Have you heard from Augie?

No, your father has it handled.

He never should've
taken that stupid thing.

I told him not to,

but he just had to show off,

and then I know Colton
got involved somehow.

Okay, okay, let's get you home.

Okay?

Stella. Don't.

I know our friendship

doesn't mean anything to you anymore,

but you really didn't have to
sell out my brother to your mom.

I'm sorry, what?

And what the hell did we do

to make you hate us so much?

You're a Walker. Okay, I'm a Davidson.

I guess this just wasn't meant to be.

You don't mean that. You,

of all people, wouldn't believe that.

But, hey, I guess you weren't
really who I thought you were.

How do you want to fight this, kid?

- Stella.
- You know,

the only thing I wanted when
we moved here was a home.

They're taking our ranch
tomorrow, and I know,

I know you and Mom aren't happy.

There's nothing left to
fight for anyways, Dad.

Stel.

Dan.

You came to me when you needed help.

Now, I'm gonna ask the same of you.

Let's cut a deal, okay?

20 acres of the Walkers' land

and we call off this race.

- 20 acres?
- Yeah.

Let's find some common ground.

Augie, hey, come here. Come here.

Hey, it's okay.

Hey, why don't you,

wait outside for me, okay?

Okay.

Yeah.

Okay, before you fly off the handle...

I know things escalated

between our families, Denise...

but you shouldn't have involved my son.

He involved himself

the second he trespassed
onto my property.

He's 15 years old. He's a kid.

You remember when we
were kids? Like, at all?

Did you tell your children the
significance of this lantern?

I'm not answering that question.

Just curious,

why would they keep
it after they found it?

What else is your family hiding?

What else is my... You know what?

Despite everything, Denise,

I tried to help you,

to help your family,

but you

involved my child.

You started a war,

and there ain't no going back from that.

Then I will see you
on the field tomorrow.

So be it.

I'm pretty sure you're not
supposed to be here, hon.

Liam offered us a portion of land

to call off the race.

20 acres.

What did you say?

My son doesn't deserve 20 acres.

He deserves the whole damn plot.

You want to race tomorrow.

I want to show Colton

that there is still
something worth fighting for.

Well, Denise was against this, but

she said she'd ride
if it came down to it.

No, no, no. You got to tell her
the race got pushed back.

I have to ride.

You know I'm the only one
that can win against Walker.

And how are you so sure?

Because, when I do,

you're gonna give me the farmhouse,

and I'm gonna be right
next door to my son.

And knowing that's on the line,

I won't lose.

God.

Idiot.

Well, ain't that nice.

- Abby?
- No.

Hey.

What can I do for you, New York?

You know, I just...

just wanted to say goodbye.

Wait, are you bleeding?

- No, no, no, no.
- No, let me see that.

I'm fine, I'm fine.

Okay.

I see where your son gets

his stubbornness from.

Right, but as your assistant coach...

Yeah, well... I don't
think I called you that.

It's all good. It was a vibe I got.

You don't have to be so hard on yourself

for protecting your family.

I would do the same for mine.

Sounds like there's a story there.

Full transparency, I...

I mean, my old partner's family.

Strong families always
have a stray or two.

Yeah, well...

I'm sorry to pry,

but,

the biggest land dispute

I've ever dealt with was
in a game of Monopoly.

So... how long

has this feud with the
Davidsons been building?

It was peaceful when Marv
and I were younger, but...

that was a long time ago.

We all mourned him.

It was hard on Abby, given her...

history, but,

hell, when...

When he died...

I felt relieved.

I thought the land dispute

was gonna be buried with him, but...

here I am, dealing with it again.

I guess that's why I'm so
hell-bent that I know what's...

best.

Maybe you do.

But don't let complications
with another family

affect what you have with your own.

Let them in.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Stella blue.

Brought chili.

Where's your brother?

In his room, being emo.

Well, get him down here.

- I'll make some chili dogs.
- Your dumpster dogs, Dad?

I don't really think that's gonna help.

Can you just sit for a minute?

Maybe lose a little blackjack with me?

Yeah.

All right, well...

Challenge accepted.

How long do you think we have

before Denise comes after us again?

I don't know.

We just have to be careful.

You know, we're not
dealing with an ally anymore.

But... they think we're the bad guys?

Right?

No. There are no bad guys here, Stel,

not in this situation.

We're all just trying to do

whatever we think
is best for our family.

You ready to race tomorrow?

Yeah. Of course I'm ready.

I mean, you know,
there's a little hiccup but...

I'm ready.

Chopper hates me.

A horse hates you?

Okay, maybe not hates, okay?

I wasn't focused, but now I am ready.

And I am ready for you...

to hit me.

Okay.

Look at that.

How? You never win.

I won today.

What can I say?

Hi.

I'm gonna go check on Augie.

Okay.

Dad.

You got this.

I'm not here...

to ask for your forgiveness.

I don't even need you to say anything.

I let the Davidsons have...

more power over me than I care to admit.

But the truth is,

back then, I...

I thought there had to
be some different way,

a better way.

So, I kept putting it off.

But Marv was...

He was hell-bent.

He needed that win.

For some damn reason
I'll never understand.

So, we set it.

Signed on the dotted line.

And then that fire.

And I couldn't help but feel
like I had got what I wanted.

And I don't know how I will
ever forgive myself for it.

You've been through hell, Daddy.

More times than once, I know that.

But I don't know,

I don't know why you always insist

on being so damn stubborn.

I mean, you raised me
to walk alongside you,

this whole family.

When it comes down to it,

you never really let us.

That's why I'm here.

I'm ready

to listen to whatever you
have to say about this deal.

Deal's off.

Deals are off the table.

All I want now is those

damn Davidsons

to never come near us again.

Well, in that case...

Walk alongside me, Cordell.

I'm gonna finish what you started.

Abby.

That's funny, isn't it?

The girl you loved and...

the girl you married.

I just wanted to tell you that history

is not gonna repeat itself...

today.

I'm gonna take back what's ours.

Denise isn't even here.

Dad could've totally let Augie come.

She'll be here in time.

Yeah, you just wait for the
Western showdown music to start.

You know, my dad always dreamed

of owning a piece of land like this,

and, thanks to you,

I kind of got to

grow up on one.

I think I should be thanking you.

The reason I know this
land more than anybody

is because all the time you and I spent

trying to hide from your dad.

- Frank.
- Frank.

Yeah... He always did catch us.

- He always did.
- Yeah. Always did.

And I never wanted to leave.

You'll never have to.

You two okay?

No.

I don't need it to be.

It's fine.

Ready to go?

Yes, ma'am.

Hey, did you, you talk to Denise?

Yeah, I called her earlier.

Told her we were starting late, but...

- if she finds out we were lying...
- Well, she will find out.

But it's okay 'cause we're gonna win.

She can yell at me
from the Walker jacuzzi.

Wait, is this 'cause of
what I said yesterday, Dad?

Like, 'cause that was just
a heat of the moment thing.

I don't actually want
to steal their home.

What you said was truth, Colt.

Right? Heat of the moment or not.

You know, the way we left things,

it wasn't fair to you.

It's just those Davidsons,

they makes me so damn angry.

Please, we've all had
our fair share of anger.

You seem better now.

Calm.

As the only person here not of

Walker or Davidson blood,

I will read the rules.

The race will start right here

at Walker ranch.

The riders will make
their way to the barn

in between the two properties and circle

back to the starting
position to finish the race.

Whoever wins,

will have legal claim to both

the Walker and Davidson land.

The losing family will need
to vacate the premises

in the most immediate manner possible.

All right, listen up.

I know we've had some interesting times

at the ranch, but

it's ours, always has been.

Whether that's eating supper

at the dining room table, or...

playing cards till
the fireflies come out.

I love this house.

I love this land. I always have.

But I never realized

how much it was home until yesterday.

It's a part of me.

It's a part of all of us.

So, right now,

I'm gonna go out there,

and I'm gonna protect our own.

We're not going anywhere.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Now, you know Gale's gonna play dirty.

Just be careful out there.

Yeah, of course.

Son.

Dad?

Listen, when you get to the
fork in the road, you go right.

Okay?

Left is quicker,

but the trees are overgrown.

Yes, sir.

Cordell.

Yeah?

You go out there, and you kick his ass.

Dad?

Attaboy, Chop.

So much wasted land.

I mean, does anyone really
need a treehouse these days?

I do think I'm gonna
keep your mom's garden.

Looks like she worked real hard on that.

Okay.

Everyone ready?

On your marks!

Get set!

Go!

Come on, Cordi! Go, Dad!

Go, go, go!

Come on, boy.

Come on.

Come on.

You hurt?

I'm fine.

Can you ride?

- Can you ride?
- Yeah, yes, I can ride.

All right, then get up.

You didn't have to come back, you know.

Well, I save people for a living, Dan.

It's who I am.

Thank you.

Besides,

I want you there to watch me cross

the finish line in front of you.

Get on your horse.

Let's finish this.

*No one to blame*

We go on three.

Three.

Two. One.

Come on, come on, come on!

Come on, Chop.

Come on, Chop.

Come on!

Come on, Chop!

Bonham, Denise is on her way.

I came to warn you.

Looks like y'all
started on time after all.

Honey. I thought you
were against all this.

I'm not here for the race.

We examined that lantern.

Forensics found
Daddy's blood all over it.

That lantern didn't just start the fire.

It was a murder weapon.

Dad's death wasn't an accident.

You were right.

Bonham Walker.

You're under arrest for the
murder of Marv Davidson.

No cuffs.

He can walk.

You have the right to remain silent.
