[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

Big Mike Taylor first wave lost since

the Rakim company commander you don't

think these are the gonna killed him I

saw Ranger taylors chest mom wasn't

named by that woman how do you know size

and shape of the entry one there was no

exit wound but I mean how do you know

you're some sort of a truck-driving

doctor I was arranging the golf for

absolute training as a medic well as

qualified as that makes you they want to

wait to see what forensics has to say

you in the war - no sir so what'd you

decide to drive is rigged in a middle of

a police shooting you come along captain

we were driving past save it

I want to need you both to come down and

fill out complete statements in the

office as soon as I could over be

checked off might have to recommend you

to for some sort of a civilian

commendation you couldn't come around

when you did we'd have two dead Rangers

here

[Music]

hey y'all finish your statements yeah

captain Burt said he may need us to come

and testify but until then we're free to

go

look I don't believe in civilians

getting involved in police business but

that was a hell of a thing you did out

there well I'm just sorry we didn't get

there sooner maybe your partner would

still be alive

yeah maybe Mike always thought he was

indestructible no not against that kind

of firepower ak-47 Guzzi to

nine-millimeter beretta as we found in

the trunk of the car but we still

haven't found the gun he used to shoot

Mike the Emmy said it was a 38 slug you

didn't happen to see the shooter drop a

weapon or attempt to hide anything did

you why would he stop in the middle of a

gunfight to try to hide one of his guns

yeah well we're missing a hell of a lot

more than that the bastards name was

Hector

Perez he's a runner for the local drug

cartel so that's what the den battle was

about you were arresting him productive

yeah me and Mike got a tip that Perez

was coming across the border with 90

kilos of heroin are you sure you didn't

see anything you suspect us well

Perez was coming across to meet his

American connections and trucks have

been known to transport drugs lieutenant

in case you didn't notice earlier we're

on your side ma'am I've been a Texas

Ranger for over 17 years and I was a cop

for eight years before that it's in my

nature to question everything

no offense none taken guess I do the

same thing well I reckon y'all be

wondering hit the road captain Burgess

got your numbers yes we will do all we

can to help good luck to you

thank you so I have a question for you

though if Prez did have all the drugs

and now they're missing wouldn't someone

be looking for them

I'm a doctor everything is in the

hospital

Rangers get him Taylor and Dawson good

news is Perez killed one of them before

they got him

hey do you find your suitcase yet all

right gonna call my sister forward over

corn El Paso mainly so so like kind of

promised me Tamayo you know I gave her a

call

they're nowhere at all I'm gonna be gone

off she's my weapon

so how bad is Perez hurt

apparently not bad enough

I'm dr. snow yet yeah I found our report

about the shooting it's those Collins

bet when you go online check with da see

if they have on Hector Perez a local

drug cartel I can see where this is

heading and it's nowhere near Maui

you forget something mr. Bowman no I

just want to drop by one last time

before we took off all right yeah I mean

miles I'd Drive you see a lot of crazy

things you find something don't praise

it's missing gun well it's good news

isn't it

not for Perez son of a bitch we'll be

lucky if I don't use it on him

[Applause]

he's taking it pretty hard isn't he yeah

Mike left a wife and two little girls

he's like a kid brother to Ray you come

back could you remember something else

and he helped you can give us still in a

film Perez's heroin no I I told you

thing I know where'd you find the gun

oh oh through the cracks and a pile of

rotten boards back there I guess price

dropped it on the run Dawson found it

yeah I guess he just need a little time

to clear his head

before he came back and walked through

it again

[Applause]

I gotta get back to the office sure I'll

be seeing you again

[Music]

what the hell are you mr. Bowman really

you're you're a cub or an ex-cop or you

somehow connected with Hector Perez

which is it all I can tell you some out

a friend of Hector Perez I asked you a

question can I stop you what we on here

before we arrived if you're asking me

that some kind of official capacity I'm

gonna have to know exactly who you are

it's not official we are just passing

through all right Mike Mike had

informants in Mexico or hooked into the

cartel during the past year we've been

busting up their operation pretty good

we took down half a dozen of their mules

maybe 450 pounds of their dope this is

supposed to be just another routine drug

busts for us so you got a tip Perez was

meeting his connection here yeah

me and Mike were waiting for him Perez

showed up early seemed nervous

ready for trouble

we had no idea how well-armed he was the

plan was we'd make our move when the

exchange went down but Perez's

connection never showed up

what was your backup you ever heard the

saying one riot one Ranger oh me and

Mike we were a whole damn army we're

doing just fine just the two of us you

want full credit for the bus yeah that's

right it was arrogance just plain

old-fashioned arrogance real cowboy

stuff what started the shooting I tell

you the truth I don't really know maybe

Mike jumped the gun or Perez heard

somebody reacted too but I heard gunshot

before I even saw what was happening by

the time I got into it where is it duck

behind a car and he came up with his

heavy-duty arsenal Mike was lying on the

ground dying and I couldn't get to him

that's when the tool you showed up

impressed his connection didn't I think

Perez was tipped off that was a setup

and stashes drugs somewhere yeah must

have Mike's informants never were very

trustworthy but I tell you what if Perez

did stash from within the Padre he

better hope I find him before his boss

does this was the scene in the early

morning hours at the Ruxton rail Depot

just south of El Paso a brutal gunfight

that left one Texas Ranger dead and a

criminal suspect clinging to life

but it's me se please but but don't hang

up

really you just talk to you

[Music]

are you sure sure you ready to go now

Texas Rangers may not be able to take

care of this without you it's their case

well no not exactly

now it's our case - what do you mean I

mean that the AG's office said an

ongoing investigation into drug

smuggling in this part of the Mexican

border so I call snow tell him about

what happened oh yeah

[Music]

or a current miss Dawson I was wondering

when you're gonna call you got my money

blood-suckin bastard you didn't see the

news couldn't miss it you're all over

that - hey I'm sorry about Mike but

that's what you get when you play with

fire you shut the hell up I don't need

no moralizing from you and if I don't

get my money some people don't deserve

they're gonna get hurt you listen to me

I swear I will kill you if you lay a

hand on those chain all that stuff gets

contracted out now you gotta understand

Tex

I have very nasty investors who are

interested in protecting their assets

look I will get you the money one way or

another

you

no big heroin shipments if it's straight

two months of course to Lizzy the hoes

monster back there promises to share

needle will be what it does what you get

didn't imprison so shi'ites I saw

something on his rap sheet last summer

he was arrested for assault on a guy

who's coming out to Tanya burr

girlfriend girlfriend your name se North

mr. mad at me why would I be mad I'd

open my fat mouth you'd be in Hawaii

yeah well it's no would have given us

the gig anyway no you're right though

sometimes that's can't let go of thanks

well you follow your instincts that's

what makes you good at what you do me

I'd rather be in Maui

DMVs coming up there's our address no

not what I can't figure out is why

you're here we're all at the same person

yeah from looks of this place we're not

the only ones Francisco Montoya Perez

works for us he must have figured out s

he has his drugs you know when you told

me you were just passing through I

believed you

well I was telling you the truth we're

changing plans uh-huh well until I get a

real explanation about what you're doing

here you better hand over those weapons

come on mom let's go

uh-huh I need your help I have nothing

left to give

all right it's your martyr Act last time

you stay in this house

if you help yourself to your mama's

wedding rings would you solve for drugs

your own mother may she rest in peace I

couldn't help it

damn it papa I told you it's like a

sickness

I know it's my fault that I got hooked

well you have to do is quit I said all

you have to do you don't even know what

you're talking about

I know what I see whatever it takes you

just stop I have stopped you just shut

up and listen for a minute I could tell

you look at my arms

how long since you used almost three

months but but I have money I can pay

you back for everything I took from you

it's Bonanza I don't want your money

but I have lots of it look I'll show you

oh my god

what have you done

never getting get a straight answer but

some hunt show it United States attorney

general's office has given me a strong

suggestion that I cooperate with you on

this investigation

feds I'm going back over the hospital

see if I can get anything out of Perez

mmm I guess we'd better stay out of his

way

oh no he'll come around Ray's the best

Texas Ranger I know he just had more

than his share of tough times lately

how's Perez doing he'll live

I'm afraid doctors I'm all doped up so

he's in and out not making much sense

yet do you have any information on

Francisco Montoya enough to write a book

but not to put him in a cage where he

belongs

remember all those graves they dug up

across the border rumor has it that

Montoya is personally responsible for at

least four dozen of the victims not your

typical drug dealer huh no no Senor

Montoya is a real aristocrat comes from

a prominent family went broke in the 80s

in Montoya rebuilt a family fortune on

cocaine heroin and murder who's the man

with him that his brother-in-law

Robert red Smith until he married a

texas gal the only person he's afraid of

got her entire family to work for him

Dawson's over the heat and Taylor has

been hitting the Montori operation

pretty hard his past year may be too

hard now we heard that Mike and Ray were

doing such a good job that until you put

out a contract on him

really so maybe the shooting had

something to do with Montoya's been dead

I suppose it's possible but I just don't

think he trusts Perez to do it hell even

though he was loaded down with all this

heavy firepower that slimeball is

nothing more than a low-level runner you

know mostly pot coking every now and

again

why would Montoya trust Perez to run

such a big shipment of heroin from this

time

I don't care I don't care you have to

give that back I told you I can't

can you get it through your head those

men will kill me then why won't you go

to the police it's not safe either most

of those men are on their payroll this

this is Blood Money I can make it clean

I can use it for a new start

oh please okay fine don't believe me why

should I believe you this time cuz it's

not just about me anymore oh please

please don't tell me you're that that

that criminal boyfriend of yours can

married right right

I'm pregnant papa

see

what are you thinking Dawson guys a real

throwback that's for sure

big tough old-fashioned lawman that's

wrong with old-fashioned values my code

of honor you don't trust him huh not yet

something doesn't fit yeah sometimes

those strong silent types were that way

because they don't want to let you know

what's bothering them mm-hmm I could do

some research look into it yeah

Kweli yeah we got some information back

from our DEA inquiries apparently there

are some pretty reliable informants say

that there's there's an El Paso drug

mule that's no two and a half million

dollars from the cartel headed for the

border they have any idea who it is no

name but the description fits Hector

Perez perfectly so we're looking for

cash not drugs yeah so why did Dawson

tell us Perez was running heroin woman

that's a good here they're depressed

regained consciousness wants to talk but

not to arranger very good

[Music]

no it's okay okay just let me know as

soon as you find out okay thanks

you sure dr. game get close Security's

tight around the clock you think about

that girl yeah our friends at El Paso PD

are checking it out for us I think s/he

may have family living in town

how about Dawson what's he up to he will

achieve leather

passes like a Mad Dog

you're afraid of Dawson why he wants to

kill me didn't you try to kill him

I was trying to protect myself you had

enough firepower to defend the Alamo hey

don't you want to hear what I have to

say a lot I want the truth it was about

the money wasn't it the Rangers they

were behind it all the rip off the motor

crossing all pre-arranged for a

percentage

so simple 1/3 each Dawson tailor in me

but Dawson wanted it all

Dawson killed his own partner didn't you

check his guns I guarantee you the

bullet in that Ranger doesn't match any

of mine I never killed anybody you're

asking me to believe some lowlife drug

dealer trying to save his own neck over

a man I've known a respect of over 17

years we're saying you have to look at

this rate Dawson is one of the finest

law enforcement officers in this state

till I see irrefutable proof I will not

accuse him of killing anyone much less

his own partner

it was practically the only family he

had have you traced the weapon yeah you

saw it the numbers were filed off you

know plain old Saturday night special

fresh picked up on the street along with

the rest of his black-market hardware

captain due to inconsistencies in

Dawson's statement we did some checking

we know that he went through a messy

divorce last year do you know if he's

having any financial problems because of

it well as long as he's doing his job

it's not my business nor yours either it

is if he committed murder because of it

if Dawson had a motive to kill his

partner we need to talk about it there

was one instance a couple of guys that

came to me and said they saw a rain mic

in kind of a yelling match in the

parking lot I guess it got pretty heated

it was about the time of Ray's divorce

so and knowing Mike everybody just

assumed that's what the fight was all

about did you ask him about it

I mentioned it what they said they'd

worked it out I got the feeling that was

work-related Mike

Mike was a good man but sometimes he'd

like to bend the rules a bit my ray-ray

was by the book all the way

have you seen him today oh you know he's

out there doing what you and Montoya and

everybody else are doing right now

looking for prizes girlfriend the obese

is yeah thanks yeah yeah

I was waiting to speak to my wife she's

calling back all right now listen to

this Rita Mae says she has a girlfriend

I went to school with Essie says she

thinks that her old man who lives around

visit right now

around

hey I got something the tricep braid

Austin's phone turned up quite a few

calls to a local bookie Dawson has a

gambling problem

Texas we are an investment consulting

Bernie that this is a penny-ante joint

and I don't care to shut it down but I

court-ordered wiretap maybe we got off

on the wrong foot what do you want to

of the seven deadly sins for Christ's

sakes yeah so why is he calling you

Corcoran said care there was a gambler

not Dawson yeah big-time Corcoran said

the Ranger Mike was into him for over 85

large which is a big problem since the

bookie joints run by the mob what was

Dawson's part in it

Corcoran didn't know other than Dawson

had promised to pay off his partner's

dead if he kept his mouth shut

he figured the Rangers were wrong but

they were running some sort of scam so I

think Dawson did this no I have no idea

last bird said he heard of Dawson's I

don't be over here

speak to new it has his father question

about his daughter

no one's written him since well the

neighbors say there's been a lot of

activity around here this afternoon

could have been Montoya if that's the

case sure has se by now miss Dawson ran

into her first any case if this e isn't

dead yet any ideas where she would have

had it from here I check out an area

called crack house corners

it's where Dawson picked up Perez and se

about six months ago okay I'll go by the

hospital see if I'm get anything out of

Perez that's worth a try

it may speak to you

I said I'm talking comprende do you

still think you're gonna get to spend

that money you stop why not I go to

prison I get out so I had a few illegal

guns

Dawson's going down for that murder not

me yeah

what if Dawson finds the money first

from what I hear he's not the kind of

guy just to let that go Hector we know

your girlfriend has the money

her father's already been murdered for

it unless you help us find her she's

next but then maybe she'll take the

money it takes a lot to feed a heroin

habit she sure doesn't need you anymore

yes he's been clean of all the drugs and

alcohol almost three months what'd she

find religion all of a sudden she got

pregnant with my child as he would be a

wonderful mother

to figure out your partner's murder

though you want to hear the real story

you want to tell me Mike had some

problems

listen kid when you've done this job as

long as I have it starts to wear you

down when you see all the good guys

always getting the short end of the

stick Mike was my partner

we'd had words about his gambling before

but now Corcoran and his people were

threatening Mike's wife and his girls

the deal was Perez just seemed like the

answer you know I mean Montoya's dirty

money and anything that could hurt that

dandified Paris I was just fine by me

Mike had arranged for Perez to get

across the border with the two and a

half mil all he wanted was for me to

watch his back

Alvarez dropped off his cut but Perez

didn't have the money with him he

brought something else whatever thought

that warned what it had the guts to pull

something like that

I didn't see Mike think up in front of

me

[Music]

it's friendly-fire it happens yeah well

it shouldn't happen to me I'd like to

say I lied to protect Mike's reputation

or the integrity of Texas Rangers but

mainly I think it was just cause I

couldn't accept him I've had a long

career and I just couldn't go out that

way well you can make it right

nothing ever break that right

moment please we can't wait all right
