[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

[ELECTRICAL CRACKLING]

[OPENING THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Yo, Ned, good to see you, bro!

[CHUCKLES]

Damn, Roy, I can't believe

that you called me.

I can't believe you're not in Tulsa.

I mean, isn't that, like, jumpin' bail or somethin'?

Ain't you even glad to see me, boy?

Couldn't imagine what held you up. Nothin' held me up.

[BOX RATTLING] I held it up.

Have a look in there, boy.

Whoo-hoo! Oh, my God, Ray.

What are you doin'?

Are you tryin' to start somethin' up or somethin'?

Ain't startin' nothin' up, Ned.

That's a finish.

That's for Pa.

I'm gonna tell you where you can find the rest.

No, Roy.

You're in enough trouble as it is, okay?

He wouldn't want this from you anyway.

But I want you to give it to him.

You don't even tell him it's from me.

Gotta get back to Tulsa

before they find out I'm gone.

I want you to take that. You find the rest.

Y'all give Star a call this afternoon.

She's waiting to hear on ya.

You let her know it's done.

WALKER: Uncle Ray, I really don't have time

to go all the way out to the reservation

and participate in this Indian dance.

Washoe, it's important that you make time.

You must keep alive the part of you that is Cherokee.

Then High Hawk's gonna have me race against

his top riders again.

RAY: He is anxious to challenge you again.

And if he gives you an opportunity to speak,

remember he likes to laugh.

Uncle Ray, I'm not gonna tell any of your jokes.

High Hawk likes my jokes.

And he's heard all your jokes.

But he hasn't heard this one.

You wanna hear it?

Why not? You're gonna tell me, anyway.

This tribe worked real hard

to send one of the chief's sons off to college,

on the promise that when he returned,

he'll use his new-found knowledge

for the advancement of his people.

So he got an electrical engineering degree.

And when he returned, one of his first deeds

was to wire an electric light for the outhouse,

because the tribe was tripping out there in the dark. [LAUGHS]

So, he became known as one of the first Indians

to wire ahead for a reservation! [CHUCKLES]

Get it? Wire ahead for reservation?

Yeah, I get it, Uncle Ray.

I got a million of 'em. [CHUCKLES]

Now, you boys were sure moving along there,

weren't ya?

It's all right, pard, uh,

we've been making a run back to Tulsa all night.

Hadn't been anyone on the road.

After doing 80 all night no one on the road

is gonna lose track of speed.

All the way from Tulsa?

Non-stop? You got it.

Hmm.

Well, you sure made some hellacious mileage.

The tank's still full.

You boys mind stepping out of the car? [HORSE NEIGHS]

Washoe, the horse is okay.

[CAR ENGINE STARTS]

[GUNSHOTS]

Guess they didn't want a ticket.

Whoo-hoo! All right.

What'd you go and do that for?

Just kick back, little bro.

That ranger's got nothin' to do

but polish the road dust off his badge and wait for a ride.

[HORSE NEIGHS]

You're never gonna be able to catch 'em on horseback.

Won't know unless I try.

Now, we gotta make sure we take care of it first.

Then we go to Pa... Roy...

We can't tell him first,

otherwise he'll never go for it.

Roy! What?

Grab the money, Ned. Grab it!

Go, now!

[GRUNTING]

WALKER: Come on out. Get out here.

[GRUNTING] Don't even think of it now.

Don't do that. [GRUNTING]

Oh!

Sorry, had to do that.

[COUGHING]

[GRUNTS]

[WHISTLING]

[COUGHING] That's our ride, kid.

[HORSE NEIGHS]

Hoo-hoo-hoo!

Hoo-hoo!

[TRIVETTE CHUCKLING]

Git along, little doggy.

Me without a camera, man. Don't even start with me.

See? I never believed them when they said

you put your pants on one leg at a time.

Gosh, you're my hero, big guy!

Oh-ho...

[TRIVETTE CHUCKLING] Oh, man.

[SIGHS]

Look...

You don't mind taking the prisoner in for me, do ya?

No, no. Good.

And here's his weapon. Thank you.

[CHUCKLING]

[INAUDIBLE CONVERSATION]

A captive audience...

...and eight other similar ATM robberies

in the past seven weeks.

You and your brother have taken down close to, what?

250 grand... I don't know what you're mouthin' about.

I'm a hard-working, law-abiding citizen.

Hoo-hoo!

You're smiling.

You don't want an attorney or anything?

No, I could use some donuts

to go with this stale coffee,

but I don't need a lawyer. I didn't do nothing.

I'll tell you what, though, let's take it to court.

You present your case.

What're you gonna do when they find your fingerprints

all over that ATM machine

that was boosted this morning?

I think we both know

my prints aren't gonna be anywhere at all, don't we?

I'll tell you w...

Well. [SIGHS]

What do we do now, boys?

I think maybe you and I have a little talk.

Texas style.

Aw, good! Means I'm out of here.

What's he talkin' about?

Where's he goin'? [LOUDLY] Where you goin'?

Get you donuts.

You like the ones with the soft-center, right?

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

You don't scare me.

You guys are rangers. You ain't gonna do nothin'.

Did you drop somethin', Roy, besides yourself?

You don't scare me!

You can't threaten me!

Did you threaten this prisoner, Walker?

Damn right, he did. How did he threaten you, Mr. Buchanon?

Well, he, uh... Sit down.

The other guy, he left, he... Went to get his donuts.

How long you gonna keep me here?

You're free to go whenever you choose.

Wait a minute.

We can't hold him any longer.

I chased this kid halfway to Houston!

You had no probable cause, Walker.

His gas tank was full?

Please! We'd get laughed right out of the arraignment.

So, uh, this lovely lady's sayin', I might be on my way.

The DA is sayin' shove off before your luck turns.

I don't believe this, Alex. I really don't believe this.

So, how'd you do? Michelle Pfeiffer's got nothin' on me.

Ah! He went for it, didn't he? [ALEX LAUGHS]

What are you two up to?

We weren't getting anywhere with the kid, right?

So, I came up with a plan.

I'm gonna let Roy lead us to his brother,

and then, eventually, the money.

Dare I ask what the plan is?

It's beautiful.

Just follow the bouncing ball.

Follow the bouncing ball?

[MACHINE BEEPING]

TRIVETTE: I planted a lo-jack on the bumper of his impounded car.

So if we don't get too close to spook him,

he takes us to where X marks the spot.

Huh? Is that a beautiful plan? H-yuh!

Whoa! Where you goin'?

I'm goin' to take a look.

No, that's what's so great about the plan.

We're lookin' at him right here, see?

He can't make a move without us knowing.

I wanna see him in person.

So dang stubborn.

You have no faith in me, Walker!

[DOOR SLAMS]

He'll be back.

[MACHINE BEEPING]

Come on! He's on the move,

let's go.

What're you doin'? Come on, let's go.

Now, look. See... [MACHINE BEEPING]

He's movin' South in the parking lot...

He's goin'...

Oh, get down!

Come on, he's gonna see! Get down!

[SIGHS]

Oh! Guess we move to Plan B, then!

TRIVETTE: Hey, my computer!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

That was an expensive piece of equipment, you know.

Didn't work like one.

Do you think they know we're after 'em, Trivette?

I don't think they know we're after 'em.

Do you think they know we're after 'em. Look, you wanna drive?

[ENGINES ROARING]

Watch it! [HORN HONKING]

You did that on purpose.

Oh, what? You and Trigger could've done better?

Thanks for the lift, Mick.

Think I wasted that damn Universal out there this morning.

MICK: No sweat.

See you at Tolly's? Yeah, if I get a chance.

Hasta,man. [ENGINE STARTING]

[CARTOONS PLAYING ON TV] [MAN LAUGHING]

ROY: Hell's goin' on here?

[CARTOON PLAYING ON TV]

Who are you? What the hell you doin' in here?

I swear, when he done shoots down that one rabbit hole

it comes out the other... [LAUGHS] And you see the look...

[MAN LAUGHING]

Oh, Lordy!

I can't never get me enough of that Yosemite Sam! [LAUGHS]

What an actor! [LAUGHS] [TV SWITCHES OFF]

I think you in the wrong place, pardner.

Oh, I never smell out the wrong hounds' butt, hoss.

You Roy Buchanon, ain'tcha?

Of the Denton Buchanons?

You done upped and run on Eddie Hatcher, boy.

You know you don't skip on Eddie post your bail.

Look, I was gonna come back.

I just had me somethin' to do, that's all.

ROY: Uh, how about I, uh...

How about I get you a beer in here?

[GUN COCKS]

You lookin' for this, horsie?

You know, you shouldn't oughtta leave such things lyin' about,

what with all the violence out there and all?

Come on, partner, we oughtta be able to...

Work something out, I mean...

Just tell Eddie I...

I just need a couple more days.

[GRUNTS] What you need, boy,

is to make ol' Boo happy by tellin' him what he wants to hear.

Now, you can do that, can't ya?

Why, shoot.

If a little ol' cartoon can make me happy, you sure can, can't ya?

Let's visit.

Come on, Trivette. I got an address on the Buchanon kid.

Hey, this is disgusting, man.

Look, if there's any ketchup or anything in this hard drive,

you owe me one, you hear that? [ENGINE STARTING]

[GRUNTS] WAXWELL: Why don't you just be a good little bugger

and tell me where that money is.

If you ain't got it, you give it to somebody. Who?

Your little brother, maybe?

[GRUNTS]

Or maybe that cute, little girly friend of yours. Oh, yeah.

I know about her. Don't hurt them.

[GRUNTS]

Now, you are truly tryin' my good patience here, boy.

So, spit it out!

Or I'll wail on you some more.

I can keep this up all day, how about you?

TRIVETTE: Let me ask you, what do you have against computers?

[GUN FIRES IN DISTANCE]

[DOOR SLAMS]

Texas Rangers! TRIVETTE: Drop the gun, now!

WAXWELL: Whoa, now! TRIVETTE: Slowly.

Whoa, now! Breathe easy, now.

Yeah, turn around. Hands behind your head.

Up against that wall. Move!

WAXWELL: Now, let's just take this in a slow trot, now.

Name's Waxwell, Boone Waxwell.

My papers are in my right hip pocket there.

Got my gun permit in there, too.

Everything's nice and legal.

How about in your left boot?

Ooh-hoo!

You got Indian eyes, there, Ranger.

And, yessir, I got me a license for that little puppy, too.

Boone Waxwell.

WAXWELL: My good buddies call me Boo.

Skip tracer. Yessiree, Bob.

You see right there, I got me a legit right

to that sack of trash lyin' yonder.

He jumped bail in Tulsa on Eddie Hatcher.

Give him a call, he'll tell it all. Don't worry, we will.

Then I got me nothin' to fret about.

It doesn't say anything about "Dead or alive," Waxwell.

[CHUCKLES] Well, I don't get met

by the welcome wagon in my line of work.

It's self-defense, plain and simple.

When people wind up dead, it's never plain or simple.

Well, whatever you hintin' at, Ranger?

Kid was left-handed.

He's a southpaw?

So why'd he try to shoot you with his right hand, Waxwell?

[SCOFFS]

I was too busy duckin' to savin' my biscuit

to ask him why he's firing with which hand.

Maybe he's one of them amphibious guys, can use either hand.

Ambidextrous.

Yeah.

That's what I meant.

Ambidextrous. I'm gonna write that down.

Well, while you're at it, write this down.

You have the right to remain silent.

If you give up that right, anything you say

can and will be used against you in a court of law...

Oh, what you all doin' this for?

Now, we're all wearing the same outfits.

I thought we was all gonna go be friends.

Do you understand these rights as they've been given to you?

Yeah. Yeah I think I do.

ALEX: You're a bounty hunter.

And you work for bail bondsman, Eddie Hatcher.

Seems your story checks out, Mr. Waxwell.

By sure, and why wouldn't it, ma'am?

Boone's the name. "Boo" to my good friends.

Even to some who aren't so good.

That still leaves us with one dead kid.

Clutching a gun in the wrong hand.

Like I told your ranger here,

I don't give no written exam,

so I don't likely know which hand he fires with normally,

just what he fired at me with.

Just one of those unlucky breaks.

Not for you. That's my favorite kind.

Seems to me a lot of bad luck follows your tail, Waxwell.

You're the busiest skip tracer in five states.

Reputation spreads.

Did you know that out of 25 bodies in the past two years,

you've brought in 18 dead?

Is that a fact?

Yeah, very much a fact. A cold, hard fact.

WAXWELL: Law enforcement's a risky game.

I never thought of it as much of a game, Mr. Waxwell.

Excuse my indelicate choice of words, ma'am.

But if you check, you'll find that all those warrants are good.

No problem with any local law in any counties I worked,

and I sure hope not to have any here.

I hope not, either.

Then, I can go?

You're free.

I need to clean up some.

Still a might shook up, but with nearly getting' killed and all,

recommend a place to stay?

Yeah, where you came from.

I'd be willing to bet

we're not going to be friends.

I'd be willing to bet if you don't leave my town,

we're gonna be downright enemies, Waxwell.

I'm so genuinely sorry to hear that, Walker.

I'm sorry too, Boo.

Walker!

ALEX: Think you'd better leave, Mr. Waxwell.

[WHISPERS] I am.

Walker, I know that guy is slime,

but you can't just run people out of town.

What' I'm not understanding is why we would have to.

This guy's MO is tag and bag and shove off, right?

Then why's he sticking around here?

$232,672 is the exact unrecovered amount

from all the ATM robberies.

So, if the Buchanon boys pulled all the jobs,

that's a missing stash, and Ned's sitting on it.

Maybe that's what our old buddy Boo is tryin' to sniff out.

It's the only thing I would track.

[KEYS TAPPING] [SIGHS]

Damn it, the keys are sticking.

WALKER: Is that spaghetti? Hey.

[CHUCKLES]

All right, all the other bounties

that Waxwell's taken down

were for really pretty hefty sums.

Let me see, the last three

were for 23, eighteen and a half, and 46 grand.

So why else would he bother with Roy Buchanon,

when the payoff for that bounty was only five grand?

All right, we'd better find Ned Buchanon

before Waxwell does,

and continues to chop down the family tree.

WALKER: Is there anyone we can call for you, sir,

to come and stay with you?

There's nobody. Just me and Ned.

We took care of each other, the two of us.

That's what we done.

You know, Ned made me this here wheelchair.

Scrounged up parts...

And even tooled some, himself.

Do you think Ned will come back here?

Ned's not gonna know what to do.

Not what to do.

He's not like Roy.

You can bet that

if my Ned is even the slightest mixed up in this...

[SIGHS]

...it's all because of that no-good brother of his.

Ned, he...

He wouldn't know how to find trouble.

Roy...

He was born to it.

He's too smart, Roy.

That's why he was always in the wrong end of things.

Roy could do anything he set a mind to.

He could've...

Even help me hold on to this farm, if he had a mind to.

Not now, though.

Now, it's all gone.

[FIRMLY] It's all gone.

Excuse me, Mr. Buchanon, uh, it says here,

"To Roy, love always, Star."

That's Roy's girlfriend, Star.

Do you know her last name?

BUCHANON: Buckley. Star Buckley.

TRIVETTE: Miss Buckley? Miss Buckley?

Star? [DOOR CLOSES]

[LOCKS CLICKING]

[KNOCKS ON DOOR]

Texas Rangers. Open up, please.

[LOCKS CLICKING]

The girl across the hall... I didn't see nothin'.

TRIVETTE: Hey.

Looks like the tornado that carried Dorothy over the rainbow

blew through there, pal.

Said I didn't see nothin'.

There's nothin' you didn't see.

Was he about six foot tall, black cowboy hat,

and built like a refrigerator?

I didn't say nothin', you hear?

I didn't say a thing.

That's for sure.

Did he take her with him?

No. She'd already gone to work.

And I told him, I told him she was gone.

He just came on and kicked the door in and...

I didn't see nothin'.

Guess what? He didn't see nothin'.

You got it.

MAN: I told ya, she went to get her dry cleanin'.

We're usually not very busy early,

so she takes her time.

WALKER: Is there a problem?

No problem at all.

You were just examining the texture of his beard right?

[WAXWELL CHUCKLES]

Did this man assault you?

No, no, everything's fine. What can I do for you guys?

Give me a brewski.

And, uh, Sarsaparilla for my friends,

the dynamic duo of Texas Rangers.

What are you doing at Brownies, Waxwell?

Well, I was driving by and I like the name.

Why don't you get back in your rig,

and keep on driving by?

Ooh, now, that pretty little filly of a DA

never said nothing about Dallas welcoming people like this.

People, Waxwell. Not low lives.

And I'm going to bet that you're low enough

to walk under a snake's belly

without even knocking your hat off.

Tell you what,

I think I'm gonna find me

a place with a little warmer atmosphere.

Something more fitting to my own cheerful demeanor.

[CASH REGISTER DINGS]

It's a good idea.

WAXWELL: * The Eyes of Texas are upon thee *

Hey, Cal, Cindy. Hey.

WALKER: Miss Buckley? Miss Star Buckley?

We're Rangers Walker and Trivette.

We'd like to have a couple of words with you.

What's goin' on?

You know a Ned and Roy Buchanon?

I surely do. Are they okay? Did something happen?

Well, maybe you better sit down.

What? Tell me.

Roy Buchanon's been killed.

Here. Sit down.

Listen,

we gotta locate Ned as soon as possible. [SOBBING]

And we were hoping you could help us out.

[CRYING] It's gonna destroy Ned.

[STAMMERING] They... They were so close.

So close.

We hate to push you, Star,

but we really need to get a hold on Ned.

You know where we might find him?

I... I don't feel too good.

Can I have a minute?

[SIGHS]

[STAR SCREAMS]

[MUFFLED SCREAMING]

[TV PLAYING]

[WAXWELL CHUCKLING]

[CHUCKLING CONTINUES]

[CHUCKLING]

Boy, I can never get enough of this guy.

[CHUCKLING]

Oh, you sure you're not hungry?

[TV CONTINUES]

Now I know you're scared of me, little girly.

You got a good reason to be.

I... I don't know what you want from me.

Oh, sure you do.

I wanna know where your boyfriend's little brother's at.

[SIGHS]

Hmm.

Oh, lookie here now.

Is that your mamma?

Mmm. She's pretty.

Mmm-hmm.

Oh, look at here you got yourself a little baby sister.

Sarah. Sarah.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

You know it's an interesting...

Business I'm in...

Finding people.

Mostly, you know, bounty huntin' is the information business.

Most skip tracers track their jumpers by

credit card reports, TRWs.

Electronic bugging devices and such. But not me.

Uh-uh, no, ma'am.

I'm a people person.

I work people.

Please... Please don't hurt me.

[SHIVERING] Oh, I'm gonna have to hurt you just a little bit.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

In case you get a mind for the cutes

and lie to me.

That way, you see, you know I'll come back

and I'll give you some more.

[WHIMPERS]

And if you whisper to anybody

that this was anything more than a dinner invitation,

I'll go and find your mamma.

And hurt her.

Hmm? Or maybe little Sarah.

Hmm?

So you tell me, twinkle, twinkle, little Star.

Did I abduct you?

[SIGHS]

Did I force you into my car?

Now,

let's talk about Ned boy.

Mmm-hmm?

He became the first Indian to wire ahead for a reservation.

[ALL LAUGHING]

Uh, yes, sir, we have an APB out on Waxwell's truck.

So far there's no sign of the girl

or the Buchanon kid.

MAN: Hmm. Did you know that Alex called?

What she want? MAN: She didn't say.

She just said she's at County General.

All right, I'm on my way over there.

[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

[ALL LAUGHING]

Wire a-head.

For a reservation.

Wire ahead for a reservation.

He's gonna give me a heart attack.

That's the funniest man I ever saw in my life. [LAUGHS]

Yeah, he's just a barrel of laughs.

Get him to tell you the one about the traveling canoe salesman.

[LAUGHING]

C.D...

If Trivette calls,

tell him I went to see Alex at County Hospital.

[CONTINUES LAUGHING]

C.D.? Did you hear me?

Yeah, okay. Yeah, Jimmy. Yeah, I got it.

He could make it as a stand-up comic.

Who? Your Uncle Ray.

Thinking about featuring him Friday night

before Albert comes home.

Listen, you got to hear this traveling canoe salesman joke.

These two Indian women are trying to cross a river.

[ALL LAUGHING]

Traveling canoe salesman. [SIGHS]

ALEX: I thought it was another assault.

When I got here I got an idea,

called dispatch to find you.

Miss Buckley...

What has happened to you

is a terrible, terrible thing.

And the person who did this to you

should be punished.

But we can't do that without your help.

Please.

Could... Could you just go away?

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

I... I just want you to go away.

I know who did this to you, Star.

It was Boone Waxwell.

I didn't say that.

I didn't tell you nothing of the sort.

I know he's the one that did it.

And you're not the first one he's done it to.

Then why is he still out there doing it?

Not that I'm saying he done anything to me.

By why don't you arrest him?

Because there are never any witnesses.

Like yourself, nobody's gonna testify against him.

WALKER: Waxwell operates on fear.

He counts on that to keep people from talking.

And if we don't stop him,

he's gonna get Ned.

And believe me, you don't want that to happen.

What I want is for y'all to go away.

Now.

I just wanna be left alone.

Where's my doctor?

[SOBBING] Can I have my doctor?

I'm in pain.

Doesn't anyone care that I've been hurt?

Sure, we do.

We just don't want anyone else to get hurt.

Nurse's station.

Who does this to people?

The kind that crawl under bellies.

Snakes.

Waxwell's the meanest of them all.

Ranger Walker?

Thank you.

Doesn't somebody need their medication or something?

What did I do?

Walker. TRIVETTE: Yeah, it's Trivette.

Spotted Waxwell's car.

Can you get out here?

All right. I'll pick you right up.

That was Trivette. He spotted Waxwell's car.

He's still in town?

Yeah, and he's not even trying to hide.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

Do us a favor, partner,

and find yourself another phone, huh?

There are no other phones.

Besides, this is a public phone.

All right, look. I know you can't tell

by looking at my natural good-natured appearance

but I'm telling you, I'm fresh out of good temper today.

So unless you're gonna use that phone to call an ambulance,

I'd skedaddle, okay?

You like that? All right. All right.

Get out of here.

Thank you for your cooperation.

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello, Brownies.

Uh, let me speak to Star.

Uh, well, you know, we're packed in here right now

and she's moving around

like a cat with her tail afire.

Could you just, uh, could you tell her it's Ed.

WAXWELL: Ed? Mmm-hmm.

WAXWELL: Then I'll tell her.

Hang on.

La, di, da, la, di, da...

La, di, da, la, di, da. Do, do, do, do...

Ned? Did you say?

Yeah. Where's... Where's Star?

I'm sorry, boy. But Old Man Pickens has got his eye on her.

He said that no way she can come to the phone right now.

Well, she said just leave a message

or call back tomorrow.

Tomorrow's no good. I can't...

I can't do it tomorrow. Uh...

Listen. Could you...

Could you tell her, um...

Uh.

Denton. 3rd and Main at 9:00 a.m.

Okay.

[DIAL TONE]

Gotcha.

Well, how you do there, Mr. Texas Ranger sir?

I just came from the hospital, Waxwell.

I got a look at some of your recent handiwork.

Well, I've the right to know whatever it is you're talking about, Walker.

Don't worry you're doing real good at scaring little girls.

Seems Star was too afraid to I.D. you.

I.D. me? For what?

You really do talk in riddles, Trivette.

I'm a poor simple country boy.

You gonna have to spell it out for me.

You know why we're here, Waxwell.

You want Ned Buchanon

and you want that quarter of a million dollars his brother stole.

So while you're in our burg,

I'm gonna be all over you like a wet burnoose.

That there is harassment. That's what that's called.

Call it whatever you want.

Because you're not going anywhere near that kid without an audience, Waxwell.

[SCOFFS] Well...

Well, heck, I don't know what this is all about.

You know, I wouldn't even mind a little police protection

what with what's going on out in those streets in this day and age.

I tell you what?

I'm gonna save you some time.

I'll give you my itinerary.

Itinerary.

[SLOWLY] I-ti-ne-rary.

Well, that's pretty near damn near to good a word

is all is ambidextrous, isn't that, Trivette?

Don't you think?

I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.

First, I'm gonna get out of here

and find me a place with some real local color

and get me a real drink.

Then I'm gonna get rustle me up

one of them delicious three-inch steaks from Texas

I'm hearing so much about.

And then, I'm gonna wander off

to one of them gentlemen's naked bar.

So you boys better get some 20s

to give them dancing girlies for tips.

And I'll see you at the next watering hole.

[CLICKS TONGUE]

Burnoose?

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[PEOPLE TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

TRIVETTE: Walker, come in. Walker.

I just followed this bozo

to a place called The Wrecking Barn on Cottonwood.

I think I'm gonna go in.

I know that place.

Don't go in until I get there, Trivette.

I'm on my way.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[INDISTINCT TALKING]

Can I have a beer, please?

How do you do, boys?

How do you do? What's up?

What you're doing here?

I'm just wondering if you boys might like to do me a little favor.

Why don't I ever listen to him?

You have some kind of a problem?

[GLASS SHATTERING]

Oh. Guess so.

I don't suppose it will do any good to tell you boys I'm a Texas Ranger?

Yeah, and I'm Davy Crockett.

Welcome to the Alamo.

Excuse me, guys.

You never listen to me.

I have this under control.

May I ask you something? Have you ever seen

so many specimens so along in the food chain?

I hope you're good at making friends.

Hmm.

A regular social butterfly, man.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[GLASS BREAKING]

[GASPS]

Righty. Uh-huh.

[GRUNTS]

A little walk.

[WAILING]

[GROANS]

[GRUNTING]

[CROWD SHOUTING]

Walker!

[GRUNTS]

All right, where did he go now?

I don't know.

But I know Star knows something.

I'm going back to the hospital.

We gotta find that kid first.

[NURSE ON PA] Dr. Wickman.

Please call 2-4-6-8.

Dr. Wickman. 2-4-6-8. Ned?

Did you find Ned? Is...

Is he okay? Is he...

WALKER: Dead? No.

But I can't help him unless you help me.

I... I told you I don't know anything. I don't.

I know you told something to Waxwell.

I know you did.

Now, I went out to see Ned's pa yesterday.

I told him about Roy.

He's really worried about Ned.

Ned. Yeah.

Ned. Ned. Ned. That's all it ever was for their daddy.

Like Roy didn't exist.

But it was Roy

who saw how much the farm meant to their dad.

How those bankers

with their suits and computers

was killing him.

A farm?

What are you talking about?

Don't you see?

Don't you get it?

That's why Roy was robbing all them banks.

To stop the foreclosure on the farm.

All he ever hit was

Southern Star Bank branches.

He was gonna pay 'em back with their own money

for what they done to his dad.

None of it was for Roy. None of it.

I know you're afraid of Boone Waxwell.

But he killed Roy Buchanon for the money

and he won't blink an eye

to kill Ned.

I've got to find Ned.

I swear. I swear, I don't know where he is.

Roy told me,

Ned was gonna call me at Brownies

today at 2:30.

That's all I know, okay? That's it.

That's what I told Waxwell.

[SIGHS]

Ranger Walker...

[CRYING] Don't let nothing happen to Ned.

Roy wouldn't have wanted anything to happen to him

on account of somethin' Roy might had done.

I'll do my best, Star.

Ten hours and 10 pots of caffeine later, man.

We're still sucking air.

There's no pattern on those robberies

except they're all Southern Star Banks. That's it.

Well, we know that Waxwell believes

he's close to finding Ned.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have pulled that stunt yesterday.

It must have been Ned he was talking to

when we found him at Brownies.

But still he's sucking air again, right?

[SIGHS]

I don't even know if Ned's gonna pull another robbery

now that his brother's dead. You think he would?

Maybe he doesn't have to.

Punch up that computer of yours

and see what it says about the mortgage on the Buchanon farm.

I want you to know I'm holding you responsible

for the pickle chip I found in this circuit board.

[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

Okay, the balloon payment is $226,580.

So with the last robbery they have enough.

[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

Hey, baby!

That sucker's due today.

[WAXWELL WHISTLES] Hey, Ned boy.

Your lady friend sends regrets.

All right. Kill that idea, hoss, or I'll kill it for you.

Come on over here. Come on.

Now in case you're thinking,

"I can run faster than he can draw."

You can't.

I'll take that for "How do you do?"

Come on.

Now, how'd you like to test drive

this fine black American-built piece of machinery?

I thought you might. Hop in.

[ENGINE STARTS]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Drop the gun, Waxwell. WAXWELL: You first!

Don't be stupid. Where you gonna go, huh?

I'm not going to no Texas jail cell.

I'll kill this kid. Drop them guns!

Drop them or I'll kill him. I tell you!

Stand up!

Freeze!

[GUNSHOTS]

Back up.

Walker! Where is he?

Where's Walker?

Walker!

Where is he?

I'll kill this kid. I tell you.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTING]

WAXWELL: All right.

All right. All right. WALKER: Put your hands behind your back.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

How's the guard?

Well, a lot better than Waxwell, I think.

Can you get up? Yeah.

Come on.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

He had you. He had you for a minute.

When he had you in that bear hug.

Not even for a second.

Not even for a second? Not even for a second.

He did. Your headlights were dimming.

They were not. They were to.

Were not. Were to.

Were not. Ranger Walker?

Trivette. Oh. Hi, Star.

Hi, Mr. Buchanon, how are you?

Fine. It's mighty fine now.

Thanks to you, ma'am.

Oh, my pleasure.

Ned really wasn't part of the initial robberies.

The bank dropped all charges.

He's gonna be released tomorrow.

Did you know that three...

Count of three of them TV networks

called up to buy story?

Right there they were,

while he's sitting in his cell and...

And they're fighting each other write checks.

It's almost enough to pay off the mortgage.

That's what Ned's been hondling with the movie.

The most important thing is,

you gotta get Wesley Snipes to play me.

You know, Trivette,

you're a lot better looking than Wesley Snipes.

A lot better looking.

You're right.

C.D.: Ladies and gentlemen, let me have your attention, please.

For the first time

to be performed in our establishment,

and the first time performed

off the reservation,

I give you, Uncle "Dice" Ray!

Let's give it for Ray! [APPLAUSE]

Well, so this Indian pulls up a stop light

driving a big long brand new Cadillac.

And this Texan billionaire pulls up right beside him,

driving his big long Cadillac. He looks over there,

sees that Indian behind the wheelie, says,

"Say, Chief,

"what's an Indian doing driving a big long Cadillac like that?"

He's, "Well, pilgrim,

"Sitting Bull didn't ride around on some old plug."
