[MEN CHATTERING IN SPANISH]

Looks like there's only two guards down there, Paco.

Well, let's get ready to rumble.

Apache One to Apache Two.

Ready, Apache One.

That's a nice jacket, Trivette.

Yeah, genuine sheepskin.

Brand new, huh? Yeah.

Can I see it for a minute?

Yeah.

We're the same size.

Yeah.

Here.

Well, it is nice.

What? You...

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

You...

[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

[RATTLING]

Hey, Jose?

[BOTH GROANING]

How come I always get the big guy?

Just lucky, I guess.

MAN: This one's nice.

Hey! [GRUNTS]

Texas Rangers! DEA! Freeze! Right there!

[PEOPLE SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

[GUN CLICKS]

Drop it!

Don't you guys just hate days like this?

CHUCHU: Paco Cruz again.

MAN: Who's with him?

Some Texas Ranger.

You want a two for two, Chu?

I can take Cruz and the Ranger out together right now.

Save it, ese.

Durazo has some plans for Cruz.

Bigtime plans.

[***]

[***]

C.D., man...

These ribs, don't get nothing but better.

[CHUCKLES] It's... It's all in the sauce, Paco.

My own special blend.

PACO: Yeah? Yeah.

You ought to franchise that, man.

You can make a fortune.

Really? Yeah.

[CHUCKLES]

You mean, kind of like Paul Newman

on that salad dressing label. Yeah!

I looked like Newman when I was a young man.

Yeah? I really did.

There's still a resemblance, I mean, you can see.

Yeah. Still kind of resembling...

The side of my face here.

I see it.

[LAUGHS]

What happening, Jimmy?

Same thing, big dog.

Some more nuts.

Somebody new?

[CHUCKLES]

Are you still upset about the jacket?

WALKER: I told you, it would be replaced.

Jiminy crickets, I'll buy it for you myself!

Buy me what?

Hey! He speaks.

[MEN CHUCKLE]

So tell me, Trivette?

How do you like working with this guy?

It's hard on my wardrobe.

[CHUCKLES]

But I gotta admit, it's never been dull.

At least not yet.

So, what, you used to diss him about his clothes too?

Paco and I go a long way back.

Ooh.

In fact, our first assignment,

I was new on the Department of Public Safety.

And you just started with the DEA.

Yeah.

And that was the beginning of

a beautiful relationship.

You got it. [BOTH CHUCKLE]

Jimmy?

What? Come here.

What?

Jimmy, you know how it is with old friends.

I wasn't botherin' 'em.

To Cobra.

Who's that?

Our agent in Mexico, who fed us the coke mill.

Well, I hope I get a chance to meet him sometime and thank him.

Cobra's a little tied up right now.

Has Emilio Durazo staked out.

That's the guy who bankrolled the mill we just took down.

Emilio Durazo?

Head of the Mexican mafia, right?

Not for long, if I have anything to do with it.

Sounds personal.

You're right.

This is personal for me.

As personal as it gets.

This man is responsible for killing children.

Babies born with drugs in their veins.

A whole generation of kids with no chance of a decent life.

Paco.

You know what happens when you get emotionally involved.

You get careless.

Look who's talking.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, watch your back, will you?

Don't I always? [GLASSES CLINK]

[PACO GROANS]

The cocaine mill was a nice bust, Walker.

Clean.

No loose ends for me to chase for a change.

You trying to make a point here?

No, I can only interpret your ongoing relationship

with other agencies as tenuous.

"Tenuous."

Does that mean I'm not the caring,

sensitive, '90s type of guy?

[CHUCKLES] Well, sometimes, maybe.

A little diplomacy would go a lot further

than kicking down doors.

But it wouldn't be as much fun.

[CHUCKLES]

How's Paco?

Great, it's good to see him.

Yeah. Oh, one more thing.

Trivette's expense sheet.

One sheepskin jacket?

$648.37?

Is that what he said? Uh-huh.

That jacket wasn't worth more than 50 bucks.

I'm wouldn't let him get away with that.

Okay.

ALEX: Uh, Jimmy, we were just going over your expense sheet.

Walker, I have some bad news.

It's Paco Cruz. What about him?

You know, Marlene, that DEA clerk I've been seeing?

She says that Paco's been missing since last night.

DEA got word through an informant

that he's been abducted.

He was with me at C.D.'s.

He left just a few minutes before I did.

Well, who do they suspect?

Mexican mafia.

Emilio Durazo.

Walker, they have to be pulling out all the stops to find him.

Don't give me that look.

This is out of our jurisdiction.

Please, just let the Feds handle it.

He never listens.

Just a moment, please.

Can I help you, sir? Name's Walker, I phoned.

RECEPTIONIST: Mr. Walker, I've told you, Mr. Maddox was not available.

Mr. Maddox, I'm sorry, he just...

I'll have to get back with you.

Well, you must be Walker.

And you must be the guy I can't get on the phone.

[CHUCKLES]

Do I sense an atmosphere of tension here?

Let's cut to the chase, Maddox.

I'm here about Paco Cruz.

Fine, let's do be concise.

You're with Cruz for a few joint undercover operations.

More than a few.

Whatever.

You're here because you're concerned with his safety.

However, I'm not at liberty

to discuss his situation with you.

Then you're confirming that he was kidnapped.

I can speak only on a need-to-know basis.

Now, I appreciate

your professionalism and care, Walker.

But you're not part of the equation.

I've just become part of the equation.

Okay.

Off the record.

All we know for sure is that

he was last seen in Cortaleno, Mexico.

What have you done to find him?

Everything we can.

You haven't answered my question.

We've concluded our business, Ranger Walker.

Yeah, we have.

[DOOR SLAMS SHUT]

[***]

You okay, Washoe?

Yeah.

Just thinking.

Uh...

Yeah, I made some tea.

Some of my old secret ingredients to induce serenity.

What's in it?

Well, if I told you,

it wouldn't be a secret anymore.

[SIGHS]

You know, I remember Paco visiting the ranch.

He was a good man.

He is a good man.

If he's still alive.

If they'd have wanted to kill him,

they'd have killed him last night at C.D.'s.

You know, Washoe.

I know you feel you must have to act

in order to help your friend,

but you also took an oath to uphold the law.

I know that.

But I've gotta do something.

Even if it means going into Mexico.

Well...

Then you must do what I know you've already decided to do.

[SIGHS]

Let's go. [HORSE SNORTS]

Hand me that rope, Trivette.

You got enough stuff to take out an army, man.

May have to.

Then I should go along.

It's not your fight. Hand me that 950.

Uncle Ray, you gonna help me out?

Ain't no use trying to stop Washoe

when his mind's made up.

[CAR APPROACHING]

Walker, what in the world do you think you're doing?

Going on vacation.

Hand me that box of ammo.

You're going across the border.

Your badge doesn't mean anything?

So what you're doing is, you're walking into hell.

With no resources.

No backup. Uncle Ray?

I'm out of this, I'm gonna make some tea.

[ENGINE STARTS]

I'll send you a postcard.

Mmm, and don't let me forget

to call Judge Grasos in the morning.

It's very important. [KNOCKS]

Can I talk to you for a minute, Alex?

Sure.

Just a second, Myra.

While I'm sitting out there, I can't...

I don't like it.

I mean he could be walking into a firestorm

down there in Mexico.

I know that, but what can we do?

We gotta do something, Alex.

I've been trying.

Call the Attorney General.

I already spoke to him.

He referred me back to the DEA.

I gotta do something.

You know what I gotta do?

I gotta start thinking like Walker.

Jimmy. Please.

That's all I need!

[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

[***]

[THANKING IN SPANISH]

Hey, señor.

You wanna see some watches?

Give you a good deal too.

[THANKING IN SPANISH]

Hey, Vargas.

Walker, what are you doing here?

I'm looking for Paco Cruz.

Your timing is perfect, hombre.

I just got in a new shipment of expensive watches.

Here, let me show you.

The word is Emilio Durazo snatched him.

That's who I'm tracking.

Well, then he's probably tracking you by now, Walker.

I hope so.

Ah, you don't wanna find this guy, amigo.

He's as bad as they come.

He's way out in the country someplace.

I don't know where.

But I saw one of his men in town today,

Chuchu Sanchez.

He passed right by here maybe an hour ago,

bragging to a couple of his friends

about picking up a car for Durazo.

Something very expensive.

[CHUCKLES] He was all excited because

he gets to drive Durazo around it all the time.

Did he say where he was gonna pick it up?

Hombre,there's only one dealer in this town.

Bernardo Lopez.

Avenida De Las Flores.

Avenida De Las Flores.

Yeah, this is a nice one.

Authentic.

Paco had an undercover contact.

Code name, "Cobra."

Uh, Cobra's in deep cover.

You know where?

No one knows but Paco.

What do you think, señor?

Give you a good deal. Heh, heh.

Uh, maybe I'll come back.

Ah, señor,you don't wanna buy a watch?

Hey, stay away from there.

MAN: Slowly! Slowly! Careful.

She's a beauty, no?

I told you to take it easy.

You can get out of the car now.

She's the perfect color too.

Uh, I think.

Is it what Mr. Durazo ordered?

Oh, yes, señor,

this is exactly the car Mr. Durazo ordered.

I made sure of that myself.

What about the leather?

Genuine calfskin.

I thought we said lambskin.

Oh.

Well, yes, of course, and that's exactly what it is too.

Better be.

Huh? Heh, heh.

Yeah.

It's real good.

Very thick rubber.

Cherry wood dash, C.D. Player, phone? Heh, heh?

It's all there.

Yeah, I like that new car smell.

[VEHICLE DOOR OPENS]

Hey, I know you.

You're the Ranger that was with Cruz the other night, huh?

Well, if you know that,

then you must know where Cruz is.

Don't know what you're talking about.

Well...

Does that jog your memory?

Maybe you should call up information

for his phone number.

Tell Durazo, I'm coming for him.

[GROANS]

Did Durazo pay for the car already?

Yeah.

Hey!

[***]

[MAN WHISTLES]

Who you lookin' at, eh?

[MEN TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

[HELICOPTER APPROACHING]

[MAN SPEAKING SPANISH]

What's your problem?

Miss.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Where's Durazo?

Oh, he's downstairs, did you get the new car?

Maybe we can all go for a ride.

Get out of this place a little bit.

Sí,I'm so bored! I gotta get--

[GASPS]

You're here to see

that Durazo doesn't get bored.

That Idon't get bored.

Animal.

[HUFFS] Go ahead.

I'm sure Durazo will want to know

where the bruises came from.

[PACO GROANS]

I like foreplay.

How about you, Cruz?

I don't wanna start the real torture

till you're completely worn down.

I want the earth to move for you, my man.

Now tell me.

How did you find my operation in Dallas?

Huh? Talk to me, man!

Don't play games!

Who gave you that information?

It was somebody on the inside, wasn't it?

You'll never know, jefe.

[SPEAKS IN SPANISH]

[PACO GROANS]

You're already dead, my man.

But I can still make you feel the pain of living.

It will go on for hours--

Days! If I want it to.

Is that how you wanna play it?

[DOOR OPENS]

Did you get the car?

Yeah, sort of.

What? What? Talk, talk, man!

That Texas Ranger showed up.

He was the one with Cruz the night we picked him up.

That's very interesting.

Come down here to find his compadre,huh?

I wonder who he is?

His name is Walker.

[LAUGHS]

After so much, why?

Why now do you tell me this?

Because

he would want you to know.

MADDOX: Look, Ms. Cahill,

I wouldn't have come down here

if I didn't feel the situation was critical.

But I hear you're close to Walker,

and right now, he's into something way over his head.

He's been seen in Cortaleno, Mexico,

looking for Paco Cruz.

I can't verify that.

Really? Well, I can.

And if you hear from him, you better tell him

to get his butt back over the border, pronto,

or he's at risk of losing his badge, or worse.

You don't have that authority.

Others do, and they're prepared to move on it.

Wait a minute.

Paco Cruz is yourman.

I would think that you'd wanna get him out too.

We're talking about the vagaries of international law.

Sometimes it's within our sanction to help our people,

sometimes not,

and sometimes individuals must be sacrificed.

[SCOFFS] That's barbaric.

That's the way it is.

And your friend Walker's caught right in the middle of it.

So, what are you saying?

Right now he's operating on his own,

his badge is meaningless down there.

He's a man without a country.

If he gets caught by either side,

he's gonna go down.

And you won't lift a finger.

I can't.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY IN SPANISH]

[TRADITIONAL MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

[***]

I've been waiting for you guys.

Is that so?

Are you gonna tell me where Durazo is,

or do I have to beat it out of you?

[ALL LAUGHING]

Sure, we'll take you.

Only you won't be conscious when we get there.

You wanna bet?

Six-to-one odds.

I like those odds. I like the odds.

How about six-to-two?

I'll take that bet.

[ALL GRUNTING]

[GROANS]

[GROANS]

Trivette!

[GROANS]

What...

Who was that? I don't know.

[SHEEP BLEATING]

Oh, by the way, nice room.

What do you expect on a Ranger's pay?

Besides...

what are you doing here?

I'm on vacation.

Besides, postcards are cheap.

I wasn't gonna send you one anyway.

[BANGING ON DOOR]

I'm Maria Alcantar.

Okay.

Maybe you know me as Cobra.

WALKER: So Paco is alive?

If you can call it that.

I have not been able to get in to see him since yesterday.

[SIGHS] I can only imagine what they're doing to him.

At least he's still alive

so we have a chance to get him out.

Alive, yeah.

As long as he doesn't talk.

As long as he has something they want.

What do they want?

Durazo wants the person inside his organization

that has been tipping off Paco.

Which is you.

I have been waiting for two years

to get my revenge on Durazo.

[INHALES SHARPLY]

Ever since he killed my sister.

What happened?

What happens so often, the world has stopped noticing?

Like so many other children in Mexico

looking for a way out, looking for something better.

She wound up being a prostitute for Durazo.

Then on drugs,

then overdosing.

We'll take care of Durazo.

You don't have to go back there.

No. The hacienda is like a fortress.

You won't be able to get in without me.

We'll find a way.

I have to go back.

If I don't, Durazo will know something is wrong.

He will kill Paco.

And if Paco dies,

it will be because he was protecting me.

MARIA: Okay, Durazo keeps three Dobermans on the grounds.

TRIVETTE: Dobermans?

They have Dobermans. So?

So the last time we ran into Dobermans,

I almost lost a very nice, very expensive pair of boots.

Not to mention a leg. [HELICOPTER WHIRRING]

So I don't like dogs that don't have hair on 'em.

MARIA: Don't worry, I'll take care of 'em.

WALKER: What about the guards?

MARIA: They rotate at intervals.

Four are left outside for the night after 2 a.m.

You know where the alarm system's at?

The main panel's near the front door.

What about the surveillance cameras?

At the gate, front entrance.

You know, it's gonna take an army

to get through that security system, Walker.

How are we gonna do it?

We're gonna surround 'em.

You got a lot of heart, Cruz.

I'll give you that.

You refuse to show weakness.

The mark of a man.

But now the thrill is gone, my man!

I wanna know who sold me out.

No more foreplay, man! Talk to me!

You're scared, aren't you, Durazo?

You're scared because you know he's out there.

And you know he's coming for you.

You find this man, and you bring him to me alive.

Okay? You understand me? [AGREEING IN SPANISH]

I'll kill him myself!

Do it!

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Hey, hombre.

Sorry, amigo. We're closed.

Maybe for good.

[GROANS]

I heard you were talking to a Texas Ranger

this afternoon, huh?

I don't know. I talk to a lot of people.

[GROANS]

How many gringos come to this dust-hole, huh?

Many, hombre.

This one was looking for Durazo.

I see no one who looks for SeñorDurazo.

Keep your eyes open from now on, eh?

[GROANS]

[COCKS GUN]

Walker.

[EXHALES] Don't tell me.

You need my help again, huh?

I'm afraid so.

Well, it just so happens, mi amigo,

I am in the mood to give it.

What do you need?

Right here.

Ah, no problem.

Meet me here at midnight.

[COUNTRY WESTERN MUSIC PLAYING FROM STEREO]

ALEX: I have been trying to reach Jimmy all day.

The office said that he called in sick.

But when I tried him at his house,

all I got was his machine.

I think he went down to Mexico to help out Walker.

More likely.

We have to do something.

Alex, all you have to do is order a beer and drink it.

Oh... And then what?

When they come back, they'll tell their story.

What if... My God, I hate feeling like this.

C.D.: Alex, just relax.

Cordell's not gonna get anywhere he can't get out of.

And you sure as hell can't talk him out of it.

Paco saved his life.

I didn't know that.

Mmm-hmm.

On their first assignment, Cordell got wounded.

Paco saved his life.

So he went down there to return the favor.

It's just that simple.

You want some Goobers?

[CAR APPROACHING]

There she is.

[CAR HONKING]

[GUARDS CHATTERING IN SPANISH]

MAN 1: Yes, it's okay!

MAN 2: Maria is back!

Okay, we've got three hours.

Let's get ready.

Hey, Durazo's been looking for you.

So?

So you better see what he wants.

[SCOFFS]

I know what he wants.

Get away from me, you pig.

Where have you been tonight, eh?

Out. Out where?

[SCOFFS]

Since when do I have to report to you.

I'm not your property.

I'm Durazo's girl.

[SCOFFS]

I've seen so many like you come and go.

One day, soon, he'll be bored with you, and then...

Lapping up leftovers from the floor

like a dog, huh?

Somebody jumped me today.

Knocked me out cold.

Funny thing, as I went down, I thought maybe--

Maybe what?

DURAZO: Maria.

Gotta go.

[EXHALES]

[***]

What's going on, Walker? He said he'd be here, right?

Yeah.

WALKER: Trivette!

He's dead.

Sorry, Vargas.

We got the stuff.

How we gonna use this stuff without Vargas?

Our plan requires three men.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

What? The watches, man.

What about 'em?

If I can modify the mechanism...

Can I do that?

I don't know. Can you do it?

We're in business, partner.

[EXHALES SLOWLY]

Try this on.

How's that sound?

It's too dadgum loud.

Turn it down.

Just getting a snack.

You want something? No, no.

I better go see where Raul is.

[CHUCKLES] He should have relieved me an hour ago.

[EXHALES]

[***]

Trivette, how's it going? Right behind you, Walker.

[BEEPS]

This stuff just takes a little more time.

Well, time we don't have. Hurry it up.

Ten minutes. Let's go.

I'm on it, man. Come on.

[BEEPS]

[BEEPS]

[BEEPS]

[BEEPS]

Hey!

You having a picnic, señorita?

Uh, this meat was about to go bad, so...

I thought I'd give the dogs a snack.

Smells good to me.

Mmm.

Like steak tartare.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Hey.

You be careful. Those dogs will take your head off.

[WHISTLES]

[DOG WHIMPERS]

[DOGS BARKING]

Come and get it, boys.

[BARKING CONTINUES]

You all set? Oh, yeah, buddy.

I tell ya, if this thing works, they're gonna think

we're a dang army, Walker.

Let's see. Twenty minutes.

Let's get into position.

[***]

It's all right. Walker's here.

Here, just lean on me.

I told you I didn't trust you, baby.

[PACO GROANS]

So this is your little spy, huh?

Does she hop from Durazo's bed to yours

telling you of all the jefe'splans?

Just like your sister, huh, chiquita?

You know what happened to her.

I won't make it so easy for you.

Go to hell.

I will see you there, no?

Chuchu, do what you want with her.

But first find out who else she's been talking to.

Mami,treat him as nice as you've treated me.

[SPITS]

[CHUCKLES]

Kill them both when you're done.

[CHUCKLES]

Now we're going to have some fun.

[PACO GROANS]

I'll come back for him myself.

Let's go! Come on!

[MARIA GRUNTS]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

[MAN GROANS]

Trivette? Yeah.

We got about 38 seconds, if it works.

"If it works"? You said it would work.

It will.

I hope.

Anything unusual outside?

No, nothing.

What about the dogs? What about 'em?

[SHOUTS] Where the hell are they?

I don't know. They were here. Turn on the lights! Now!

[YELLING IN SPANISH]

Psst!

Let's go.

[CHUCHU LAUGHS]

[EXHALES] So far so good.

Yeah. Boy, don't you love this job?

Well, I guess we're even now, huh, amigo?

I saved your life, now you saved mine.

And I'd do it again.

And I as well, my friend.

WALKER: Take care of yourself. You too.

The three of us made a pretty good team, huh?

You bet.

See you around. You too.

[CAR ENGINE STARTS]

He's a great guy, Walker.

Yeah, the best.

All right, so where we park the truck?

I don't know. It all looks different at night.

You don't remember?

Well, it's not like I didn't have other things on my mind.

Walker, I'm tired, my feet hurt. You--

Look, the next time you get yourself

in a situation like this,

don't expect me to come down here

and bail your butt out.

I didn't ask you to come.

No, not in so many words,

but you knew I wouldn't let you come down here by yourself.

Trivette, I specifically told you not to come.

Yeah, but see, that's not what you meant.

You wanted me to make the decision on my own.

Hey, and another thing.

They didn't approve my expense account.

So you owe me for my sheepskin coat.

$648.37, pal.

Can I pay you in pesos?

No, you can't pay me in pesos!

Where is that dadgum truck?

Walker!
