That elephant's a real beauty.

Hey, boss, what's this worth on the open market?

$25 ,018.

Well, now it's only worth $25 ,000.

All right, let's get to work.

I want this shipment packed and that plane in the air in 15 minutes.

What?

Thank you.

Well, rape turns state's evidence.

Probably the smartest thing he's ever done.

He gave it to suppliers and the distributors.

Whose stomach is growling?

Gage's.

Gage's stomach is always growling.

You know, Sid, if you're hungry, just face her. You don't have to put it off

me, okay? My stomach only growls sometimes.

I'm done here. Who wants to go to C .D.? I do. Ah.

I'm in. All right.

I wonder how Marta's making out. Forget Marta.

C .D.'s the one that's made out. How is it that I buy 55 raffle tickets? He buys

one. He wins the round -the -world cruise.

It's not like you came up empty -handed.

Yeah, um, what was it you won again, Trebek?

I won a straw hat.

I gave it to Big Dog because he obviously can use it better than I can.

Well, I wonder if Martha's going to change, C .D.

Nope, nope, nope, C .D.

It's a historical landmark. A great man once said, you can never change CDs.

Just eat his cantina.

In the eyes of a ranger,

the unsuspecting stranger had better know the truth of wrong from right.

Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

Any hope you do, he's gonna see.

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

That's the way the ranger's gonna be.

So what do you think of it? You like it?

Oh. That's great. I think it looks wonderful.

Different.

Did C .D. say you could do this? Oh, yes. He said his casa, me casa.

It's a casa.

You know, I wonder what C .D. is doing right this very minute. Well, he sailed

out of San Francisco today, and he promised that he would send us a

from every port, so we should be hearing from him any day now.

What about a cruise?

A cruise for our honeymoon.

We've already done that.

That was a river raft.

Close.

Oh, hey, Walker, remember what Commander Briscoe told you.

What?

Commander Briscoe said that if he needed any time to prepare for the wedding,

please do so.

That's wonderful. You can help me with the wedding plan.

You guys, I gotta go.

Where to?

I got a lecture at SMU, a police science class. Marta, awesome.

Isn't it great?

You're gonna have some time off, so you can help me.

Great.

Computers have revolutionized police work.

For me, in a normal week, I use mine to check forensics results, criminal

records, link up with international law enforcement agencies.

It's invaluable.

You learn how to use it.

Make it your friend.

But remember, it's only a tool. It'll never replace good old -fashioned shoe

leather.

Got to get out in the field, knock on the door, talk to the people.

Let's review.

If we don't register, then people don't know what to get us. I mean, that's how

they keep track.

Otherwise, we'll end up with like five toasters.

How about a dog?

No.

Let's start with silverware.

Ranger Trevette?

Yes. Erica Carter, is it possible to develop new evidence from an old crime

scene? Yeah, sure it is.

Sometimes fresh eyes see new things or the same old evidence differently.

Yeah, good question. Why?

Well, it's kind of personal, but I'm trying to lay the groundwork for an

All right, what you need is to find something to refute the evidence that

convicted the man or woman in the first place. It's a man.

My father.

What was he convicted of?

Murder. Look, I know you probably hear this all the time, but he didn't do it.

know my father, and he's not capable of murder.

And I'm going to prove it, one way or another.

You want to talk about this?

More than anything, yeah.

All right, let's grab some coffee.

Okay.

Walker, look at this.

Kind of has a western motif.

Motif? You know, western, southwestern flair.

I know what motif means, Alex.

But what do the Taiwanese know about southwest?

All right.

So which pattern do you like?

I don't know.

How about this?

I like it.

It's so hard.

My dad, his name is Fred Carter. He worked in maintenance at the Franklin

Center. That's the new building on Henderson?

Yeah, that's the one in Ranger Tribette.

Jimmy.

Right, Jimmy.

Anyway, they couldn't fill their office space in the first year the way my dad

told it, so they had to downsize.

So your father got fired?

Yeah, he was summoned by the chief financial officer, a man named Davis.

Mr. Davis gave my dad one week's notice and two weeks' pay.

Sounds pretty generous. Yeah, my dad thought so, too.

And then three weeks later, Mr. Davis was found in the basement.

He was beaten to death with one of my dad's tools.

How did your father explain that?

He had a whole truckload of tools, Jimmy. I mean, whoever did this had all

time in the world to steal one of my dad's wrenches.

So where was your father when this Davis guy was killed?

He was on a fishing trip.

You go with anybody?

No, he likes to fish alone.

So nobody saw him?

Well, there was this really weird guy out there while he was fishing. He just

kept watching him. And my dad said hello, he just kind of stared at him,

then he ran off.

And nobody located this guy to question?

Well, they couldn't find him. The police tried him. I've probably been out there

more than anybody.

Who's your lawyer?

Some public defender who was overworked and underpaid.

Can I have two coffees, please?

You're talking to other lawyers, though.

I can't afford anybody good.

That's why I'm taking this class.

Let me ask you something.

In your mind and in your heart, you're sure that your father didn't kill this

guy? I know he didn't kill him.

And I'm not going to stop until I prove it.

If he didn't do it, then who do you think did?

I don't know, Jimmy.

But my guess is that somebody in that office.

Yeah. Somebody powerful enough to be able to frame my dad and make it stick.

All right, I'm not promising anything.

But if you want me to, I'll talk to your father.

Thank you, Jimmy.

You bet.

That was a good one.

And expensive.

Okay.

Well, let's pick out some china.

Do any of these patterns jump out at you or speak to you?

Yeah, they do speak to me, but they're speaking French, so I don't understand

what they're saying.

What about these?

Alex, I don't understand.

There's going to be food on it. So what difference does it make?

Booker, would you show some enthusiasm here?

How about me showing a little enthusiasm on our wedding night?

I'm not going to let you marry him.

You're violating the restraining order, Alan. Just leave. Listen, if you don't

marry me, you ain't marrying anybody. Leave me alone. I'm not going to leave

alone. Now, come on. That hurts. You're hurting me. Sir, would you mind taking

your argument outside? Shut up!

Let go of me. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

You heard the lady.

Well, you can't mind your own business either, huh?

Texas Ranger, now back off.

I don't care.

That's enough.

I don't think so.

Come on, get on your feet.

That's it.

Officer, this is the lady that was attacked.

Ma 'am, would you come with us and make a statement, please?

Gladly.

That was spectacular.

Thank you. Thank you so much. That guy could have cost us a fortune. Thank you.

Thanks again.

Oh, nothing, child. Just a little accident.

Do I know this young fellow?

He wants to know who you are.

Sir, my name is James Trevette. I'm a Texas Ranger.

Daddy, he wants to know your side of it.

Well, why has a Texas Ranger got time on his busy day to hear my side of it?

Ranger Trevette was lecturing at my police science class.

Your daughter is very persuasive.

She gets that from my mama, God rest her soul.

Okay, now, close your eye.

Why? Because it's a taste test.

All right, take a bite.

Open wider.

What do you think?

Good.

Okay, keep your eyes closed.

What do you think?

Good.

Good as in better or worse than the first one?

As in they're both good.

Okay, open your eye.

You're no help at all.

But I'm full.

Anyway, I was fixing the light switch on the top floor when I heard the boss,

Mr. Franklin, and Mr. Davis arguing about money.

Now, I didn't hear the particulars, but they almost came to blow.

What about money?

Something about the book.

Mr. Davis called Franklin a liar.

Did they see you?

Franklin did.

Didn't seem nothing too happy about it either.

Tell me about the man you saw on your fishing trip.

Oh, that fella.

Looked like he's living up there. You know, long hair, full beard.

I'd say 40, 50, hard to tell.

He saw you. You sure he saw you?

Well, he's staring at me, Ranger.

Wasn't more than a stone's throw from where I had my line in.

You say anything to him?

No, I said something to him.

I asked him if he's all right, and I got a bite.

Just as I looked up, the fellow was gone.

Where was this?

Lake Gregory, North Shore.

Well, that's a full day's drive.

This man saw you on October the 15th, the day of the murder, and you can't be

two places at the same time.

That's what I've been saying, Ranger.

You know this area?

I covered every inch of it during the trial, but I couldn't find anyone.

What do we do now?

Sir, I'm going to take a trip over to Franklin Center.

Then your daughter and I, we're going to go over to Lake Gregory. We're going to

see if we can find this witness of yours.

I'm going to let her say goodbye now.

Bye, Daddy.

Bye, baby.

Can I ask you a question?

Yeah, sure.

Am I going to be able to make a few little changes around the ranch?

Sure.

What do you have in mind?

Well, you know, just make it a little less masculine.

A little more like a married couple's.

Hmm.

Okay.

What kind of changes are you thinking about?

Maybe this lamp?

Alex, that lamp and I, we go back a long way.

I can see this is going to be a real challenge.

Ranger Trevette to see Mr. Franklin, please.

Do you have an appointment?

No, do I need one?

I'm afraid so.

Bree!

Hey, what are you doing here?

Bossing in there talking to Mr. Franklin?

Not happy to see me? Don't. Don't do that.

Put that down.

Can I help you, Ranger?

Mr. Franklin?

Mm -hmm. I need to talk to you for a second.

So, what can I do for you?

I want to talk to you about Fred Carter.

Fred Carter killed a good man, a good friend of mine, all because he lost his

job. What more do you need to know?

Hey, Ruth, give me a few minutes on here, all right?

Why don't you tell me what you were arguing about with Mr. Davis three weeks

before the killing?

I have no recollection of any argument. I don't know what you're talking about.

Well, Mr. Carter has a memory of it.

He says you two almost came to blows.

Sir, I graduated second in my class at Harvard Business School.

And Mr.

Carter... Well, I don't know.

But I think any reasonable person would trust my memory over his.

How about you?

Me, I'm wondering what kind of business you're doing with Vic Russo.

Mr. Russo's interested in getting into real estate development.

I was just dispensing some free advice.

Old pals.

Will there be anything else?

I'll let you know.

Hey, Russo.

It's all yours.

Get back to your real estate developing.

What did he want?

He was here about the Carter case, Vic.

I don't like this. I don't like this at all. Yeah, well, that makes two of us.

The case was supposed to be closed.

What the hell is Mr. Trevette doing on it?

He asked me about the argument that I had with Davis.

That means Carter talked to him.

And if Carter convinced him about the beef you had with Davis, then he

sold him on the guy out in the woods who saw him fishing.

I know Trevette.

He's going to be hunting that guy big time. You told me there was no guy, Vic.

We looked for him.

We never found him.

If Trevette finds him, it's going to be trouble.

Great.

So what do we do?

Green.

I want you and Sal on Trevette. I want to know where he goes, what he does,

he finds.

What do we do if he finds this guy out in the woods?

Hey, guys.

Hey. You hear something curious?

What's that?

Guess who I ran into having a chat with Dennis Franklin.

Who?

Vic Russo.

Russo? Yeah.

He's a major player.

Hey, what's he doing at the Franklin Center?

That's what I want to know.

How you coming on the call now, I'm sorry?

I'm just finishing up the paperwork right now. Yeah, what do you need?

I need you to follow Russo, find out where he goes, who he sees, what he's

I want to know how he's making his money these days.

Okay, where are you going to be?

I'm going to Lake Gregory. I need to find a witness.

Pure Egyptian cotton.

The finest warp and weft.

A 400 count.

That's as good as it gets.

What? How did you know that?

Well, there's more to me than meets the eye, Alex.

I like what meets the eye just fine.

Should we take it?

So, Sid, I've got some good news and I've got some bad news.

Okay.

I talked to my source and I found out that Russo eats lunch every day at the

Million Dollar Saloon like clockwork.

That's a trick. Yeah, Sid, it is a gentleman's club.

And, of course, one of us is going to have to go undercover.

And, well, I don't think that I can fit into that.

So, Gage, what's the

good news?

They have a great buffet.

Never mind.

Oh, I heard.

No, look, I don't care what he says.

Close the deal.

No, we got terms and we're sticking to them, you got that?

Hey, I don't pay you to blink.

Hey, where's Evie?

Well, her mother's in the hospital, so tomorrow I'll give her the week off.

um, I'll take good care of her.

Yeah, I'm sure you will.

I hope Evie's mother doesn't get better for soon, huh?

Good day.

So. Did you do what you came here to do yet? Not yet, Vittorio.

Is this guy ever going to get off the phone?

Here, look. If you don't close this deal today, I'll close it for you.

And that will make either one of us very happy.

Got it.

All right, he's done.

All right, let's plant the bug.

I've got it right here. We want everything within a 20 -foot radius.

me just a couple minutes to get in position.

These damn lawyers.

They go to college for seven years. You think they'd give them a back phone with

that diploma, huh?

You know something, baby?

You cut quite a figure here.

Well, thank you. Oh, you're welcome. You can make some real money.

You know what? I can't dance.

I can teach you.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Where were you last night? I called you 15 times. I was

working. What do you think?

What do I think? I think maybe you were here with this guy. Is that where you

were? Were you here with him?

Hey, easy,

boy.

You know who you're messing with here.

Take a walk.

Maybe I don't know who I'm messing with. Why don't I buy you a drink?

Come on. Get out of here before I break your head.

Go. Get off of me. You're not worth it.

I looked at his 50 gas stations, bait shops, marina rentals, mom and pop

Nobody knows this guy. All those notes you took in my lecture, you're going to

tell me you don't remember the fundamental part of police work?

I know.

The shoe leather. Putting in the time.

So?

Let's do 51.

I'm going to make sure I put the tape in this time.

Very funny.

Hey, you know, I never figured Walker for the Marion type.

Are you kidding me?

Walker's the perfect marrying type. He's ethical, he's honest, caring, strong.

What else could a woman want? No, no, no, it's not that. It's just him and

have such a good thing going. You know how sometimes as soon as you tie the

knot, a relationship kind of goes south? It's so bogus. Do you know how many

times when you tie the knot, it enriches a relationship?

Maybe brings it to another level?

Eh, never mind. It's kind of a guy thing you wouldn't understand.

What? It's kind of a what?

They don't call it the old ball and chain for nothing.

Oh, get out. Out. Out of the car right now. Okay, fine. I'll take a break. Hey.

Hey, Rousseau.

So, how about your man Breen?

Have you come up with anything yet?

That's my business, Dennis.

It's what I do.

You should stay focused on what you do.

I just...

Don't like it.

Dennis, I don't care what you like.

Everything was going fine until your pal Davis became a boy scout.

You hired him, Dennis.

His blood's on your hands because you lied to him. You're the one who didn't

tell him this place was built with mob money.

And I wish I never agreed to that. Well, you did.

Now it's too late.

Fred Carter is innocent and now we have to prove it

I

Didn't

know this was here.

Yeah, come on Good afternoon, sir

My Texas stranger name is James Trevette. I'd like to ask a few

Ask away.

We're looking for a man that's been sighted in the area. He's got long hair

a beard. He's kind of a loner type.

Might be living on the North Shore. It's very important that we contact this

man. His name's Mark.

Shows up here every couple of months or so.

Special orders.

Cash on the barrel, hey.

What kind of special orders?

History books. Mighty dry reading.

Sir, would you happen to have any kind of record of that?

Sure do, ma 'am.

Jimmy, look.

Mark, October 15th. My father was right. He is here.

Oh, yeah.

Fish is the lake year -round.

But you ain't gonna find him on the North Shore.

Why not?

It's wintertime.

And he goes where the fish are biting. And in the winter, that's on the South

Shore. Better get down there and set up camp while the sun's still good.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Don't you need any supplies, anything?

No, we're fine. Thank you.

Cheap people.

Hungry? A little.

Looks like they're setting up camp.

Should we take them up?

No.

Let's see if they can find this guy.

We'll take them all out.

That was great.

Hey, want some?

Yeah.

Sorry, I don't eat cream and sugar.

It's all right.

How long you been up?

I was going to ask you something.

What's that?

Well, I was going to ask why good -looking Texas Rangers like you even

But I think I answered my own question.

You did?

Yeah. It's all time you put in.

Doesn't seem like you have much room for anything else.

It's not the time. It's... What's that?

What?

Nobody's here.

We'll meet right there.

What are you doing here?

Looking for you.

My name's James Trevette. I'm a Texas Ranger.

Your badge.

Easy.

You said you were looking for me. How did you know my name?

You saw my father on the North Shore. He was fishing.

I see people come and go. They don't usually see me.

He saw you.

Mr. Please, this is very important.

My father's been accused of a murder he didn't commit. Now, he said that he saw

you on that particular day of the murder.

Yeah.

Yeah, I remember him.

He was in my fishing spot.

Just come back from Bucks with my new books. You sure of that?

I'm sure.

That's it. We have it.

You willing to testify to that?

No, sir.

I'm not.

What? I don't understand.

Sir, you answer a few questions and an innocent man goes free.

An innocent man.

I put an innocent man away.

He died in prison.

I'll never step into a courtroom again.

What are you talking about?

I was a district attorney.

Wait a minute.

I know you.

You're Mark Dunford, right?

You disappeared years ago.

Mister, please, if you don't come back with me... Get out! Get out!

We gotta split up!

Thanks, Ranger.

You saved my life.

Come on.

Let's get your daddy out of prison.

Yeah? Mr. Russo.

Breen. Why does the sound of your voice not bring me any joy?

Mr. Russo, it went bad.

Trevette and the girl found this guy.

Trevette took down Sal and Freddy.

Where's Trevette now?

Trevette's heading down Highway 48 in a black Mustang. It's the only way out of

here. Okay, look. We're coming up to the chop. You stay on the tail.

Better call Walker now.

There.

Now he's not better than the old Lamp.

Well, it's nice, but I sure love that old lamp.

You'll get used to it.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Hello?

I'm on my way.

Tell Cindy they need my help.

I know what you're thinking, Miss Carney.

But a haircut and a shave and I'll be fine in court.

Ha!

uh uh

Bye. Bye.

Too bad. You guys all right?

We're good.

All right, let's round these other heads up. Let's go.

Hey, easy.

That's good.

Ready?

Come on.

think? Think he's going to be mad? I don't know.

I know.

I don't even want your opinion.

Hey, everyone. Sorry I'm late. Hello, Walker.

Hi.

Hi.

Marta, let me have a taco. Sure.

Oh, darling.

So, I have some good news.

If you promise not to get mad.

What is it? First, you have to promise.

Okay, I promise.

We got the country club for our wedding reception.

Wait a minute, Alex. I thought we were going to have the reception here as CDs.

What? You're the one that wanted a big wedding.

No, Alex.

You're the one that wanted a big wedding.

How big is big?

350 people, give or take a few.

300?

Well,

I guess CDs is out for sure.

Are you mad?

Of course not.

Trevette, I need some good stock.

I'm on it.

If you want me

Cause

the eyes of the ranger are upon you And all you do is gonna

see When you're in Texas but behind you Cause

that's where the ranger's gonna be
