or what?

Get it, banana!

Oh, my God!

Those guys are rough.

You don't want to talk.

Another goal.

They're trailing by six goals.

Eight minutes to go.

No way they can win.

No! No, no, no. We've got to stay.

We've got to stay.

I'm going.

Are you coming? What?

I'm going. They can't win.

There's no way they can win.

Well, what choice do I have?

Well, I can't think of any unless you want to walk them.

Let's go.

See, that's what I get for coming with you.

Am I going to hear about this all the way home? Yes, next time we're going to

bring my car.

Jeez.

Complain, complain.

Hey, watch it!

Get in, get in!

Let's go, let's go!

This is Trevannigan, armored car robbery, reunion arena, two guards down,

an ambulance.

Thank you.

Get the f -

I don't know about that.

Oh, my God.

Walker, I shot.

I'll get an ambulance.

In the eyes of a ranger, the unsuspecting stranger had better know

wrong from right.

Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

Anything wrong you do, he's gonna see.

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

Cause that's where the ranger's gonna be.

Please save my little boy.

It was all my fault, Mike.

I didn't know that the puppy was outside.

Oh, it's not your fault.

If I hadn't gone for coffee after the union meeting, this wouldn't have

happened. Danny must have gone looking for the puppy.

My God, the last time I saw him, he was in his bed.

It's all my fault. No, no, it's not your fault.

It's not your fault.

Mom,

Dad, where have you been?

I was over at Sherry's. When I got home, the neighbor said that a cop shot

Danny. Is he going to be all right?

We don't know yet.

Mr. Bisbee?

I'm Ranger Walker. This is my partner, Ranger Trudette.

I'm very sorry about what happened to your son.

Any word on his condition?

Just that he's critical.

I haven't been able to stabilize him.

Look, I don't know. I... It's just that... You know, I didn't see him until

was on the ground.

It was dark, and I was diving.

I'm so sorry.

You shot him?

You're the one that shot... You shot Benny?

Yes.

And I know that there's nothing that I would say that would ease your pain,

I'm just... I'm truly sorry. Yeah, well, you could take your truly sorry.

Mike, Mike, please.

I'm sure that you are, Ranger.

But I think that the only words which will help right now are words of prayer.

A son's life is in God's hands.

Yes, ma 'am.

If there's anything you need... What I need is for you to get him out of here.

Mr.

Webster, KFCA.

Is it true that you shot the boy at Point Blank Bank?

No, and I have no further comment. What, was he holding a toy gun or something?

He said no comment.

The department will make a statement later.

Mr.

McGee.

Excuse me, just a quick question. Was your son a member of any gang?

Crying out loud, he's six years old.

Well, then what was he doing out so late at night?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. This is all my fault.

Get this.

Mr. McGee.

Mrs. McGee, do you normally let your son out to play this late at night?

You get out of this room right now.

That's your last one, Jimmy.

C .D.'s right.

You need to be sharp for the review board tomorrow.

Yeah, sharp. Jimmy, what happened out in that courtyard?

What happened is I should have seen that kid.

I know I followed Kroger into that apartment complex.

And I heard a noise at the other end of the courtyard.

And it was dark.

But I saw Kroger rise up from behind the wall.

I saw a muzzle flash, and I returned fire.

I got up and I started after him, but he was gone.

I didn't see the boy until I came to the middle of the courtyard.

Are you sure Kroger fired?

I only heard one shot.

Yes, I... I saw a muzzle flash.

Well, you must have used the silencer.

Yeah, that's what it was.

Well, as tragic as shooting an innocent person is, you were returning hostile

fire. She's right, Jimmy.

And I'm sure the review board is going to rule it as an accidental shooting. I

don't care about the review board.

I should have seen that kid.

Hey, Jimmy.

How are you, sir? I'm all right.

I didn't sleep much.

Any word on Danny? He's still listed in critical condition.

They have him on full life support, but the doctors don't want to operate to

remove the bullet until he stabilizes.

This hearing has come to order.

You can take your seat, Jimmy.

Our purpose here today is to determine if sufficient evidence exists to launch

formal investigation into the shooting of Danny McGee by Texas Ranger

James Trevette.

A preliminary investigation has been completed by DPS Internal Affairs.

Lieutenant Moffitt, I believe you have the results of that investigation?

Yes, I do.

Could you give us your report, please, sir?

My forensic people spent the night combing the courtyard of the Maplecrest

apartment complex, and my investigators interviewed several eyewitnesses.

It's all in my report, gentlemen, but the bottom line is this shooting never

should have happened.

Thank you, Lieutenant, but maybe you could be a little more specific.

Yes, sir. I've been able to piece together a very accurate account of last

night's unnecessary tragedy.

Ranger Trevette.

had just participated in a major shootout and a high -speed pursuit.

Though he did not know if his alleged quarry was actually in there, his

adrenaline had to be redlining as he entered the Maple Crest Courtyard.

Even before the tragic shooting, Ranger Trevette ignored departmental policy by

allowing his weapon to traverse innocent bystanders and in one instance actually

took aim on and almost fired at a young couple.

Danny McGee was ten feet away from Ranger Trevette in plain sight.

Even a moment's hesitation on Ranger Trevette's part, and this never would

happened.

Not one witness saw Kroger enter or leave the courtyard. It's doubtful he

even there.

There was only one shot fired.

Ranger Trevette fired it, and due to his reckless negligence, a young boy's life

hangs in the balance.

It is my recommendation that he be suspended without pay pending a grand

investigation and what is certain to be a criminal indictment.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

Ranger Trevette.

You have anything to say here today on your own behalf?

Sir, I know I followed Kroger into that courtyard.

And I know he fired first.

That's all I have to say.

Thank you.

Ranger Walker, you were there. Do you have anything to add before we adjourn

deliberate this matter?

Yes, sir.

Ranger Trevette is one of the finest law enforcement officers I've had the honor

to work with.

If he said Kroger fired first...

I believe him.

Fair enough.

Cordell, how many shots did you hear?

I heard one, Commander.

That means that Kroger had a silencer on his weapon.

Thank you, Ranger Walker.

And thank you, Lieutenant Moffat, for your preliminary report. Any questions?

All right.

We'll adjourn now to deliberate.

Lieutenant Moffat, of all people to lead this investigation.

Why? Who is he? He's got a grudge against Jimmy.

Jimmy made the Rangers.

Moffat didn't.

That's right.

While we cannot agree with Lieutenant Moffat's call for a full grand jury

investigation at this point, we do believe that there are enough unanswered

questions to warrant a formal internal affairs investigation.

Lieutenant, I will expect your report six days.

Ranger Truvette, until that day, you are suspended without pay.

I'm going to need your gun and your badge, son.

I'm sorry, Trevette.

Only two people truly know what happened.

The little boy and Kroger.

And I'm going to find Kroger and make him talk.

It doesn't matter.

Of course it does.

No.

What matters is I shot a kid.

He may die.

I should have seen him.

Finding Kroger is not going to bring my bullet back.

Keep your spirits up, Jim.

Have you apologized to this family yet?

Ranger Trevette, is it true that you didn't even see Kroger when you entered

courtyard? Do you load your own ammo?

Ranger Trevette, what are your chances of reinstating at this point? We hear

you're suspended without pay. Is that true?

Ranger Trevette, how did you feel when you realized that you'd shot a six -year

-old boy?

How do you think I felt?

Get the hell out of here.

Get the hell out of here!

Leave me alone!

And

as

this family provided home video suggests, now all the McGee's have left

to... are images of happier times, when their little boy could still laugh and

play. Now with death waiting just outside the window, it may take more

mother's desperate prayers to save little Danny McGee.

I'm Chip Webster with the vigil at Mercy Children's Hospital.

Thanks, Chip.

In other news, the city council voted to approve the new city budget today.

Okay, boy.

Where's Kroger?

Laughing at you, that's for sure.

You know, Walker, I always get a real warm, tremendous, deep sense of justice

every time a cop falls.

But I got to tell you, it's even sweeter when he's a Texas Ranger.

Just as sweet as cherry pie.

Do you really believe I'd rat out my own partner just so you could save yours?

No way, Jose.

Got some bad news.

I ain't telling you nothing.

Oh, you will, Floyd.

Trust me. You will.

You're part of the Kroger gang because you're the best.

You train hard, you hit fast, and take no prisoners.

This work is as wet as it gets.

Anyone have a problem with that?

Good. Now, I've got a little offset for a week from today.

Let's get busy.

You, come down this hallway.

You.

Found

anything?

No, nothing.

Let it go, Walker.

He shot the kid.

He even admits it.

He's a disgrace to the badge.

What are you doing here, anyway?

Come to plant a bullet?

Get your buddy off the hook?

I'm not going to dignify that with an answer, Moffat.

if I saw Danny McGee.

Sorry, only families allowed.

Yeah, I know.

Wait, you're, uh... Right.

Could you go ask them?

Just a minute. I'll check.

It's okay. Tell them it's me.

Ranger Trevette would like to see Danny.

No. No, you tell him no.

Okay.

Ted, what did the nurse want?

Oh, nothing, Mom.

She was just checking Danny's chart.

I'm sorry. The family would prefer if you'd stay away.

What I've got to do is get Trevette back out to the scene.

Yeah, recreate the shooting.

Right. I stopped by his place, but he wasn't there. Have you guys seen him?

No, he hasn't been here. No, I tried to call him several times, and there was no

answer. He didn't even have his machine on.

Well, I'm going to go see if I can find him.

Okay.

Chip Webster has been following the Danny McGee suit.

This reporter gave Ranger Trevette a chance to explain his action, but

apparently there is no explanation.

He remains suspended without pay, and that brings us up to date on this story.

I'm Chip Webster with the vigil at Mercy Children's Hospital.

Hey!

You!

Aren't you that pig that panicked and shot that kid?

And I'm surprised you're still walking around.

If this was my kid, you'd be dead.

Hey, I'm talking to you.

Get lost.

Get lost.

The only thing that's going to get lost is most of your teeth.

I'm out of here.

Break it up.

What

are

you doing here?

Well, I came in to see how you were doing. I'm doing great.

Yeah, I can see that.

Come on.

I'll take you home.

Come on.

Leave me alone.

Come on, let's call it a night. Leave me alone!

I told

you to leave me alone.

May I help you?

Yeah.

I'll take that one right there, the 357.

Oh, yeah?

And how old are you?

18. Not on your best day, son.

Now go on and get out of here.

And stay out of trouble.

Any news on Danny?

No, still no change.

My family and I want to thank the people of Dallas for the outpouring of prayers

and best wishes for Danny. I can't believe so many people we've never met

so much about our little boy.

We're sure that it's your prayers that are keeping him alive.

Are you going to make any statement at Ranger Trivette's hearing?

Are you going to demand any severe punishment?

No.

Ranger Trivette knows what he did.

He'll have to carry it with him for the rest of his days, like Danny's life.

The rat's punishment is in God's hands.

You turn into the theme of the crime?

Look at you.

I knew you were a wrong number the day I laid eyes on you.

Worst thing the Rangers ever did, she was a broken -down jock over a real cop.

The quota at work.

This comes as no surprise.

It's just a matter of time.

Got a tight spot, panicked.

You shot a kid.

Leave it alone Moffat.

Where's Kroger?

Where's Kroger?

Come on, Jimmy.

I know you're in there. Come on.

Jimmy. Come on, Jimmy. Open up the door.

Turn out loud. Open up the door, Jimmy.

You shot Benny?

I should have seen it, kid.

This shooting never should have happened.

I should have seen it.

Mike, kid, you'd be dead.

Yeah, well, you can take it truly, sir.

Mike, Mike, please.

Walk. Asha.

Is that Danny? Yes.

The rat's punishment is...

In God's hands.

Are you going to make any statement at Ranger Trevette's hearing?

Demand any severe punishment?

No, no, no.

Ranger Trevette knows what he did.

He'll have to carry it with him through the rest of the day, like Danny's life.

Trevette's punishment is in God's hands.

Do you have anything you'd like to say to Trevette?

Drink it.

Trevette, I said drink it.

What is that?

Cherokee purge.

White Eagle brought it down himself.

More like Cherokee sewage.

Well, you're getting your sense of humor back.

Drink more of it.

Well, it's working.

Guess I must have kicked over the TV set or something.

I'll remember.

It's like I don't know anything.

I don't know.

I know it's been tough on you, Trevatt.

But I never figured you for a quitter.

Did you ever figure I'd shoot a kid?

I'd like to go back and find out if you really did.

What do you mean?

Trevette, your instincts are too good.

I can't believe that boy was in your sights when you fired.

Are you saying Kroger shot him?

I'm saying let's go back to the scene and find out.

I don't know.

Right now, I don't even know if Kroger was in the courtyard.

Hey, do you really believe that?

He was there.

Let's go back and prove it.

All right, let me go take a run.

Clear my head.

I'll meet you there.

Little Danny McGee's condition took a turn for the worse last night. A toxic

reaction set in caused by Ranger Trevette's carelessly fired bullet,

remains lodged in the brave lad's chest.

If the doctors don't remove it, he'll die.

But the chances of Little Danny surviving such an operation, an

is scheduled to begin in less than an hour, are very slim.

Who's that?

Yes. I thought I recognized you. I'm Sergeant Ben Rogers.

I just want you to know that all of us down at the station are behind you 100%.

What happened to you and that little boy is a cop's worst nightmare. It could

happen to any of us.

No matter how it turns out at that hearing, we're with you.

All the way.

It means a lot to me.

Thanks.

Good luck.

And the bullet was successfully removed.

Now, Danny's condition is still listed as critical, but his vital signs are

beginning to improve.

Will he pull through?

We're expecting a full recovery.

What can you tell us about the bullet? Excuse me?

Ranger Trevette's bullet. Was it a hollow point, notched, a dum -dum, what?

Lieutenant Moffat of Internal Affairs took the slug into evidence.

You'll have to ask him.

Excuse me.

Came to here, I saw the dog.

Bam! Fired!

Are you sure that's exactly where you fired?

We've done it 20 times. I've done it the same way each time, yes.

Okay.

Where are you going?

Find your bullet.

You're not going to find it.

I'm going to kill you.

I don't care what a court and fancy lawyers say. Easy, son.

You're going to pay for killing my kid brother.

Danny's not dead. They operated on him this afternoon.

You're lying.

You're lying. No. They said they couldn't operate.

And the only thing that's keeping him alive are tubes and machines.

And nothing can stop my mom from crying.

You did this. You did this.

All right. You're going to pay. All right. I don't blame you.

If somebody shot a member of my family, I would feel the same way.

You're not wrong for feeling the way you do.

Damn straight.

All right, then go ahead.

If you think it's going to ease the pain, you take it from someone who's

there.

Shooting the wrong person is not the answer, Ted.

I can't take back the bullet that hit Danny. You're not going to be able to

back the bullet that hits me.

I don't want to take it back.

All right, then shoot.

At least you'll be making the biggest mistake of your life in broad daylight.

I didn't have that luxury.

All right.

It was a good call.

I wasn't lying.

They operated on him this afternoon.

What? Your brother's going to be fine.

He's telling you the truth, son.

And, Trevette, you didn't shoot the boy.

I found your bullet.

Kroger was hiding behind the fence, waiting for Trevette.

Both men fired, but it was Kroger's bullet that hit the boy.

Ranger Walker.

Lieutenant Moffat.

It's my opinion, sir, that your personal agenda led to sloppy follow -up and

false assumptions.

You were so busy trying to prove that Kroger wasn't there.

You just didn't bother to check the far end of the courtyard.

If you had, you would have found Trevette's bullet lodged in that tree.

Like Walker.

Did you see the look on Moffat's face when Commander Williams made him

apologize?

Hey.

I don't know how I'm going to thank you.

You'd have done the same thing for me.

Now that you've got your badge and your gun back, we have some unfinished

business.

About Kroger?

Yep. Floyd gave him up.

Let's do it.

How'd you get him to talk?

Well, I just made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

Is that right? Mm -hmm.

Tomorrow, the Sheriff's Department plans to make a media show out of destroying

all weapons confiscated in the last six months.

Foot fight, then.

They'll all be in Mexico.

Okay. Two vans, two teams.

Let's get moving.

I'm telling you to keep, lad. You feel good you really are.

Remember that Stars hockey game we went to?

One where you made me leave early?

Yeah, what about it?

It won.

No kidding.

No, I'm not kidding. They won.

Scored seven goals in the last seven minutes.

Said it was the greatest comeback in the history of hockey we've seen.

You made me miss it.

I'm sorry, Trevett.

Are you upset?

No, I wouldn't say I was upset.

Disappointed?

No, no.

Frustrated?

No. Aggravated?

Agitated? Would you let me tell you how I feel?

You're upset.

Cause the eyes of the Ranger are upon you.

Ain't wrong you do, he's gonna see.

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

Cause that's where the Ranger's gonna be.
