[TIRES SCREECHING]

Almost forgot the ring.

Perfect timing. Oh!

Beautifully dressed.

Mite nervous.

[EXHALES] Well, I've never done this before.

I'll take you through, step by step.

Be gentle with me.

[LAUGHS]

Where'd you learn to tie a tie?

My Daddy said it would come in handy in impressing a man.

Daddy was right. MAN: Excuse me, folks.

I'm looking for the wedding.

Right inside.

Uh, thank you very much. You're beautiful.

That's what we get for letting C.D. handle the music.

I heard that.

I tried to get the Peter Duchin band and they're busy.

Come on now, we're late.

[SIGHS]

This is it.

[EXHALES]

Okay, keep it running.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Are you ready to get hitched, Hoss?

She finally roped me, Cordell. [CHUCKLES]

It's just a good thing my dress is permanent press.

Had him at the altar twice before,

but then duty called.

Well, you know what they say, three's the charm.

[INDISTINCT POLICE RADIO CHATTER]

Now that Hoss is tying the knot, Washoe,

how long are you gonna be dragging your feet?

[CHUCKLES]

Well, I think I'll drag my feet a while longer, Uncle Ray.

* Treat me like a fool

* Treat me mean and cruel

* But love me

* Wring my faithful heart... *

He sang that in Blue Hawaii.

Boy, that reminds me of my first wedding.

Did you honeymoon in Hawaii?

No, we got to key in the Astrodome.

Hell of an act.

* I'll be sad and blue

* Crying over you

* Dear, always *

Everybody on the floor! [WOMAN SCREAMS]

Right now! MAN 2: Get down. Get down.

I said down!

And you, uncuff.

MAN 2: Don't move.

MAN: Come on. Hurry up.

Don't shoot, please.

[WOMAN WHIMPERING]

Go!

[GUNFIRE] [PEOPLE SCREAM]

MAN: Get down.

I'll be right back, hon.

I knew it.

Hoss Tanner, you be careful.

[OPENING THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

MAN: Get the driver and hold it right there!

[WOMAN SCREAMS]

Get down, Hoss!

Call an ambulance.

I can't get a clear shot.

Walker!

MAN: All right, stand back.

Stand back!

Give me your hand! Come with me.

You want me to do this.

Let's go. Come on. MAN: Come this way.

Get out of that thing!

Move it! Whoa, whoa, don't shoot me!

Get out!

MAN: Go! Go!

[CAR TIRES SCREECHING]

That's a girl.

I can see that.

Well, she's beautiful, Walker.

I can see that, too. Now cuff her.

Yeah. Right.

Um...

Now, look.

I did not know that you were a girl.

Now you do!

[GRUNTING]

Come here.

You...

I can't believe Trigger.

Going to all this trouble for me?

Don't kid yourself, Axel.

If those Rangers had taken your lights out back there,

Trigger would be selling tickets to your wake.

Well, then who sprung me?

Trigger has been running points since I left.

Come on, who?

[SIGHS] It was Cat.

What?

She busted me out and you let me leave her back there?

Listen, Trigger is the one you ought to be worrying about.

He was gonna let you rot.

Yeah.

So, now they got Cat.

Come on, chill.

Look, use your head.

Cat's got the goods on Trigger for that beef in New Orleans.

Now he's gonna be freaking that she's gonna testify.

So what are you saying?

So what am I saying?

I'm saying,

this is your chance to take back the crew.

Crew don't mean jack without her.

[SIGHS]

WALKER: That's an M16.

Vintage Vietnam.

Left behind in the getaway car.

Serial number tracks to a weapon shipment

stolen from Fort Gage, Louisiana.

Axel Tate, the prisoner they broke loose?

Worked as a civilian employee there.

Feds say that he was the inside man

on an arms smuggling ring.

He got busted for speeding through Denton.

That's when the felony warrant came up.

Judge was signing his extradition order

when the wedding was interrupted.

Okay, so how does she figure?

The only prior pulled up was a possession charge

where she got time served.

We're still not sure.

But the Feds seem to think she knows something.

She's wanted as the material witness at the trial in New Orleans.

Okay, wait a minute.

What?

Every time you serve coffee and sweet rolls, there's always a catch.

Walker, you're so cynical.

It's a gift.

"Order of extradition.

"The witness will hereby be transported..."

Whoa, whoa, whoa, time out. Now see,

first of all, I can't go.

A certain employee of the county and I

are going away on vacation this weekend and can't come up for two days.

I'm using my frequent flyer miles.

That means sunset walks on the beach,

cold margueritas, hold the salt, thank you very much.

You mean, Tricia said yes? After two months of saying no.

And second of all, I wouldn't get on a plane

with this woman if you pay my way to law school.

I wouldn't get on a plane with this woman

if you paid off my Trans-Am.

I'd rather have a root canal done.

You see this?

You see? I'm sorry, James.

This takes top priority. Oh, Counselor!

She testifying against Jenks.

Trigger Jenks?

The one and only.

When did he get out of Huntsville?

A year ago. Federal mandate. Overcrowding.

They cut a dime off his sentence.

Who is Trigger Jenks?

He's the guy that killed Elton Jenner.

The Ranger captain?

He's the one that broke me in.

Elton busted Jenks for gunrunning back in '80.

They found him shot in the back with a .44

while Jenks was out on bail awaiting trial.

Same caliber as Jenks' gun, but...

They never found a weapon or a witness.

So Jenks only went down for smuggling?

Exactly.

So let's get this girl to New Orleans

so she can testify and put him behind bars for good.

Hey.

Look at the bright side.

Fly to New Orleans, you get more frequent flyer points.

[WHIMPERS]

Ah!

Damn! [LAUGHS]

Whoo!

[LAUGHTER]

Hey!

Someone planned a war and didn't invite me.

Hey.

How'd you get sprung?

Cat got me out.

Cat, really? Yeah, she got nailed

by the Texas Rangers doing it.

Yeah?

How come I didn't hear about this?

[CHUCKLES]

[CHUCKLES]

Since when do we have to run things by you?

Since I got elected President.

[SCOFFS]

That's bull. This was my daddy's crew.

And when he died, he left it to me.

No, that's bull, you little piece of crap.

Guess what, I am changing the will.

You better back the hell off, Trigger.

I'm warning you, man. Yeah?

Hey, come on, boys, tell him who's in charge.

Montez.

Gergan?

Nobody?

Huh. Nobody?

You just lost the inheritance, kid.

It seems I got the sole use and I got the toys.

Any questions?

No.

No, what?

No, sir.

Good.

Good.

Well, you got some business to do.

The crew has been a little top-heavy.

I say we cut personnel.

Like who?

Like a certain little twist with long nails.

Long legs up to here.

Mouth that won't stop.

Look,

I guarantee she's not gonna testify.

You're right.

'Cause I'm carving her name on a tombstone.

And if you are extra good, hmm?

I'll let you watch.

[CHUCKLES]

Thank you.

All right, Miss Prather, let's go.

We're gonna take a trip. Nope.

WALKER: I guess you didn't hear the man.

Now move. TRIVETTE: Let's go.

Why?

You're going to New Orleans.

Oh, no, I'm not. Yes, you are.

No. Turn around.

[GROANS]

You settle down, young lady.

Taekwondo, the belt is black.

Yeah, picked the wrong guy this time.

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

Now behave.

You okay? Yeah, I'm all right.

Then would you cuff her, please?

WOMAN OVER PA: Flight 229, non-stop service to New Orleans

now boarding at gate 23.

I don't fly, especially in weather like this.

Well, today you do.

So what if I refused?

What are you gonna do? Drag me on the plane,

kicking and screaming?

If we have to. Now let's go.

No. There's a bomb on the plane! There's a bomb!

Terrorists, they're a threat.

Don't go on! Don't go on!

Get off! There's a bomb on the plane! [PEOPLE CLAMORING]

Phony bomb scare is a federal offence. Now, shut up!

It's gonna crash! It's gonna crash, everyone!

Go! Don't go on!

Sorry, Rangers, you know the drill.

Transporting a fugitive is at the airline's discretion.

And you can't keep her quiet,

you gotta keep her off.

Okay, so what do we do?

[SIGHS] We drive.

Where's the car rental place? Outside gate 17.

Thanks. Sorry.

It's okay, folks.

There's no bomb.

Everything's all right.

I can walk by myself.

Why don't I just shoot her in the foot?

You should try.

Watch your head now.

WALKER: All right, here's the rules.

It's 517 miles to New Orleans.

It'll take us about nine hours to get there.

We'll take a break about every hour and a half

for you to go to the ladies' room.

We'll stop once to eat.

Any questions?

Yeah, I-- I get carsick.

So which one of you Boy Scouts do I barf on?

Right.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Well, you want her to barf on you?

[PHONE RINGS]

Hey, listen up.

They are not flying, they're driving.

They're in an '86 Ford, gray Taurus.

Texas license plate. J-A-C-47-K.

South 360 to 30.

Figure that they'll hit 80 east to New Orleans.

I'm telling you, man, she's not going to testify.

She ain't going for Mardi Gras.

What are they packing?

Packing light, just handguns.

Good. Now, you stay with them and call in.

I think you're underestimating those boys, Trigger.

Is that right?

Yeah.

What is it they say?

"It only takes one Ranger to stop a riot."

Yeah, well, I can tell you firsthand,

it only takes one riot to stop a Ranger.

[MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]

These handcuffs are cutting off my circulation.

I put them as loose as I could.

Look, I'm bleeding.

You know you did that with your fingernail.

I did not. Come on,

can you just take them off for a few minutes

until the circulation can run back through my arms, please?

What do you think, Walker?

Okay, but watch her.

Fine.

[GRUNTS]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[GRUNTING]

[BOTH GRUNT]

CAT: Stop it!

Halt!

Come on, get up, get up.

CAT: You put me down, I can walk.

Open the trunk.

I can... What? Really?

Open the trunk, Walker.

CAT: No way! You cannot put me in there, I'll suffocate.

What kind of witness am I gonna make if I can't breathe?

I'll choke on his gun.

Did we get the insurance? Yeah, why?

Whoa!

You are crazy.

Get in there. Get in there!

You are out of your mind.

Maybe if you settle down he'll let you back in the car.

The two of you can kiss my...

Hey! Hey! Okay, okay, I'll settle down. [BANGING ON TRUNK]

Hey!

[MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]

TRIVETTE: Can't figure out this probation record, man. WALKER: Why?

Listen to this.

"Catherine Prather, born November 16, 1964, Palmer, Texas.

"Captain of the volleyball team.

"Valedictorian of her class,

"full scholarship at Howard University."

Really?

How did somebody like that

become the wheel man on a bust out.

I don't know.

Uncle Ray says,

show me your company, I'll tell you who you are.

[ENGINE REVVING]

[BEEPING]

[PHONE RINGS]

You better have news for me, Hendrix.

They're on 80,

about five miles west of Longview.

We're a half hour back.

Stay on 'em.

Give me the sniper rifle.

What the hell you need that thing for?

[COCKS RIFLE]

Well, you said it yourself, you got enough firepower to stop the Rangers.

There's only one thing I wanna stop,

and it's that broad from testifying.

Hey, come on, man, that's my girl.

Now you better listen to me, my friend.

You got one chance to show these boys here

and you still got the plumbing for this crew.

What are you talking about?

Sacrifice.

You're gonna make the killing.

And if you don't, then guess what?

What?

Think about it.

You'll figure it out.

WALKER: We need to get some gas.

I'll grab the sandwiches. Why don't you see

if she needs to go to the bathroom?

Whoa, wait a minute.

Why don't I go get the sandwiches?

Why do I have to take her?

'Cause you're the ladies' man.

Prather, you think you're ready to sit up front with us now?

As soon as I get to an attorney

I'm suing you for false imprisonment! I thought that.

If you don't let me into a bathroom, I'm gonna scream.

[GRUNTS]

Just a second.

Anybody in there?

All right, let's go.

Oh, you've gotta be kidding.

I'm not going in there with you.

Look, I got three sisters...

I don't care what you've got.

I've got a right to my privacy.

Well, then, you're not going to the bathroom.

Okay, wait, wait, please. Okay, look.

I'm in pain, my bladder is going to erupt.

Just take these off, and I give you my word of honor

I am not gonna try and escape, okay?

I cross my heart.

Please?

HENDRIX: Come on! Come on!

[HANDCUFFS CLICK] You said "cross my heart"

but you forgot to say, "hope to die."

Sightseeing?

Walker.

You're a long ways from court, Hendrix.

[EXHALES]

Hey, come on, Walker, what are you taking my gun for?

Well, I heard you dropped it real fast in court when those boys came in.

[PHONE RINGS]

Answer it.

Keep it on speaker.

Don't make me ask twice. Okay, okay. Okay.

Yeah? TRIGGER: Hendrix,

are they still at the truck stop?

Yeah, where are you guys?

We're two miles up the road.

Keep 'em there.

Yeah, okay.

Trivette, get in the car.

Trigger Jenks is right behind us.

I'll settle with you later.

[ENGINE STARTS]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

If Hendrix is here, Axel can't be too far behind.

And he is gonna get me out.

Don't count on it. CAT: Yes!

Come here!

[SCREAMS] Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Don't shoot us! Don't!

Stop it! Don't shoot him!

Oh, no.

[CAT SCREAMS]

Here.

Stop it!

[GUNSHOT]

Stop it! Get back in the car!

Stop it!

[CAT SCREAMS]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[CAT SCREAMS]

[CAT SCREAMS]

Come on, come on.

CAT: Axel!

Hey, baby. Right here, Axel!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Oh, here I am!

[GUNSHOT] [SCREAMS]

[TRAIN HORN BLOWING]

Come on, we got a train to catch.

Let's go! Come on!

Get them!

Walker!

It's headed for Palmer and Holtsville.

Tyson's in Holtsville, get him on the line.

Hey, go on, move! Tell him to wait for that train!

Why don't you explain to me how a simple escort job

turns into witness protection?

An aggravated assault, attempted carjacking

and kidnapping, and attempted murder.

But it's gonna put Trigger away for good.

Yeah, if he doesn't put us away first.

Well, we just can't let that happen.

I'd feel a whole lot easier

if we weren't sitting like the meat in a sandwich

a hundred miles from nowhere with a woman marked for death.

Well, if it was easy, anyone would do it.

[GRUNTS]

[HORN BLOWING]

Oh, come on, get out of there.

TYSON: Damn it! They jumped.

Check those other boxcars.

Trigger's gonna go ballistic.

[GRUNTS] Ow, ow. Whoa.

All right, let me take a look.

Walker...

Ow. Ow, ow.

I think I sprained it running for the train.

All right, I'm gonna cut you loose.

But I wanna cross my heart and hope that I promise

that you're not gonna try and bolt on me.

I swear to God.

How bad is it?

It's bad.

I'm so sorry, you guys.

That's okay.

All right, here's what we're going to do.

You take Cat and get to Bridgeton.

I'll stay behind,

and if Trigger and his men try to follow, I'll slow 'em down.

Here, take this.

Okay, good luck.

Is he kidding? Trigger and his men are armed.

Yeah, I wouldn't wanna be in their shoes either. Come on.

Yeah? TYSON: Trigger, it's Tyson,

they're not here. TRIGGER: Not there?

I thought that train didn't stop

between here and Holtsville.

They must've jumped.

You find where they jumped off.

If you don't, I'll take care of you instead.

You blew it, my friend.

But this cat ain't gonna have nine lives.

This time it is my turn.

SPENCER: Yo.

They're headed east. Went right through there.

Okay.

We'll leave the truck here. Let's go.

Listen, I heard you talking to Trigger.

This is that Indian Ranger, Walker, ain't it?

Come on, I heard a lot of bad stuff about him

from guys in the joint, him being part Indian and all.

Oh, is that right?

Then maybe you wanna stay here.

Tell them camp fire stories to Trigger when he gets here.

Now, let's get moving.

Whoa.

May I ask you something?

What's a valedictorian of her class

doing with a slug like Axel Tate, anyway, huh?

[SCOFFS]

You don't wanna know. Actually, I do.

See, I kinda have this thing about people that I'm on the run with.

I, um... I grew up nearby.

I never knew my dad.

My mama left.

I was raised by my granny.

That the picture in the locket?

I saw when we were on the train.

Yeah.

She always wanted the best for me.

She used to always say, "Baby, chase your dreams."

She raised me to believe that I could do whatever I wanted to do.

So what happened to college?

Granny got sick.

Medical insurance ran out.

She was too proud for welfare.

We needed money for her medical attention.

So, um...

Along comes Axel.

And he said I could make 20 grand easily

just by carrying this little package.

So you were a courier.

Just once.

Once is all it took.

After that, Trigger and his crew owned me.

Axel was gonna help me get out.

That's why I sprung him.

We were gonna run away together.

Start again.

It's never too late.

So, you're ready to go?

Yeah, let's go.

All right.

Oh.

Looks like they went this way.

[GRUNTS]

I think we got about three more miles.

Can you make it? CAT: Yeah, yeah.

I can make it.

You know...

I've kicked you,

I've scratched you...

And if I could've gotten your gun,

I'm sure I would've shot you.

So, why?

Let's just say I agree with your granny.

I think you're worth saving.

How's that for an excuse?

[CAR TIRES SCREECHING] Go!

CAL: Oh, man, I hate this. I hate graveyards.

TYSON: Close your eyes, hold Spencer's hand.

CAL: Does this place give you the heebie-jeebies?

I had an uncle that ran a funeral home.

I used to hide every time we had to go visit him.

I was always afraid that them dead folks

he was working on in the back room

would rise up and start walking towards me.

Yeah, you know what I mean, Vern?

Vern? Vern?

What are you trying to do, raise the dead?

Things are already up

Something's happening, Verne. She's gone. Gone?

What do you mean, gone? Gone.

Gone. What's gone mean? He was there, then he wasn't.

Something's happened to him. Listen.

He either got lost, or he chickened out on us.

I wouldn't wanna be in his shoes when Krieger gets ahold of him.

Now, let's go.

[CREAKING]

Come on.

[GROANS]

It's cold in here, too.

You gotta thank Jamaica.

Jamaica? Why Jamaica?

Yeah.

One trick my mother taught me when I was growing up.

Baltimore.

Middle of winter.

Half the time the pipes would go out.

Gets so cold in the bedroom you could see your breath,

she used to say, "Think of someplace warm you'd rather be."

And I...

For me it was Ocho Rios, Jamaica, with Bob Marley.

All right. [CHUCKLES]

How's your ankle?

It's still a little sore.

Yeah.

Hey. Hmm?

You're thinking about your partner, aren't you?

Walker? No, no. Yeah.

He can take care of himself.

You know how they say, "There are no more heroes"?

Let me tell you, the man is tenacious.

No matter what he's up against he just keeps on coming.

That's his code.

What about you?

What's your code?

I don't like bullies.

Like Trigger.

They have to be stopped.

Hmm.

Yeah.

You thought I was doing this because I liked you.

[CHUCKLES]

Lantern's still warm.

CAL: Hey, I see them.

[GRUNTS]

[CHOKES]

There they are.

Okay, Cal, you and I will stick to the tails.

Dusty, you and Spencer head north in case they cut across.

Where is Dusty?

He was just in the barn with us.

Dusty, where are you?

Go find him.

TRIGGER ON PHONE: Talk to me.

TYSON: Trigger, it's Tyson.

We just spotted the black Ranger and the girl.

They're about a mile ahead of us.

About half a mile from Bridgeton.

What about Walker?

Walker's not with him. Well, did you get him?

No, we didn't get him. Actually, I think he's getting us.

What is going on out there, Tyson?

[SIGHS] Well, while we've been tracking him,

I think he's been tracking us.

He's been taking us out one by one.

Well, you find him and you kill him.

We'll head the others off at Bridgeton.

You just take out Walker.

Take care of him. Hell, we can't even see him.

I thought I told you two skunks to go do something.

[CLATTERING]

Go cut him down.

You cut him down. I'm outta here.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[PANTING]

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Why are we running?

There's three of us, only one of him.

No.

There's two of us and one of him

and that's why I'm running.

[BOTH PANTING]

[KICK LANDING]

Is he still behind us?

Oh, God.

[GRUNTS]

He's not gonna help you.

Come on.

Hey!

Oh, man, am I glad to see you.

I got this witness who's got to get to New Orleans.

Don't even think about it!

All right, hand me your weapon.

Two fingers.

The last deputy retired suddenly.

[GASPS]

[GUN COCKS]

Let's do 'em now.

No.

Save them for Trigger. He'll be back any minute.

All right, in the cell.

In the cell.

[DOOR OPENS]

Well, well.

You know what?

It is just a shame.

I gotta do you.

Before I've even have the chance to sample the goods.

How about it, Axel?

Is she as good as she looks?

[CHUCKLES]

Don't even think about it.

Bye-bye, baby.

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

This is for Elton Jenner.

Remember him?

[GRUNTS]

I do.

[BOTH GRUNT]

[GROANS]

[GROANS]

New Orleans, here I come.

Yeah. Yes.

You know we made so many stops on this journey.

We got one more.

WOMAN: Who is this?

Hello?

Who's there?

Can I help you? Evening, Ms. Prather.

WOMAN: Are you lost?

Oh!

Catherine.

It's Catherine, my... My baby.

The Lord done answered my prayers. It's Catherine.

Come here, my baby. CAT: Grandma.

Look at you.

Oh, Catherine, does it hurt?

CAT: No, I'm fine.

You know, Cat was asking me why we do what we do.

I told her it was because I hate bullies.

But I think this is why we really do it, huh?

Yeah.

I now pronounce you man and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

* Treat me like a fool *

Fourth time's the charm, Hoss.

[SIGHS] Thank you.

Congratulations. Thank you.

Good luck, honey.

Thank you.

Okay, come on, girls.

[CHUCKLES] Come on.

Come on, it means you Alex. You're single.

Come on.

What are you, chicken?

Remember, I'm a great outfielder in softball.

Now, guys, if she doesn't wanna go out there... TRIVETTE: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let's go. Come on, Alex, let's go.

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

HOSS' BRIDE: Everybody ready? WOMAN: Yeah.

Okay.

[LAUGHING] [ALL CHEERING]

Get them 20 horses ready, son.
