[RATTLING]

Ah. Almost got me.

[SIGHS]

Ah, hey there.

Yeah.

I got you this time, Washoe.

I don't think so. How many rattles you got?

Ten.

One, two, three, four...

I got 12. You cook again tonight.

SAM: I wish you could come visit us

here at the reservation more often, Washoe.

I wish I could, too, Sam.

I love it out here.

It's real.

SAM: Well,

here's to what's real.

Mmm.

Tastes just like, um...

Rattlesnake.

[CHUCKLES] Rattlesnake.

[LAUGHS]

Where's those beans?

MAN: Now, in the past four years,

Agri-Feed Co. has spent in excess of $26 million

developing these supplements.

The deadline for filing with the FDA

is two weeks from tomorrow.

Tell me we're ready.

Yes, sir.

The laboratory tests are on schedule.

Laboratory tests?

Didn't Uganda teach you anything?

Testing this stuff in the lab isn't enough.

Brad. Brad, relax.

Doug didn't say that we're only testing in the laboratory.

You're running field tests on this supplement?

Uh-huh. I sent Dr. Riser out two weeks ago.

After what happened in Uganda?

My God, man, we only wiped out an entire village.

[***]

SAM: You know, Walker, I'm telling you.

This new cattle feed, it's the latest thing.

WALKER: New cattle feed?

Well, actually, it's a supplement they add to the feed.

Some kind of special mix of vitamins and things like that.

Dr. Riser, the guy that runs the program,

he says that in a few years this reservation will have

the only supercows in the whole damn country.

Supercows?

Yeah. It's about time we Cherokee

got ourselves dragged into the 20th century.

I got to see these supercows.

[CHUCKLES]

Riser is out at the, uh, Cherokee Nation federal reservation.

An Indian reservation?

[LAUGHS] It's perfect.

[CHUCKLES]

The nearest media outlets are hundreds of miles away.

And should something happen,

the reservation is easily contained

and, uh, easily taken care of.

Sit down, Kyle.

[COW MOOING]

Hi, Katie.

MOTHER: Here's your milk, honey.

DAD: Have a good day at school, Katie.

MOTHER: See you when you get home.

[SNEEZES]

MAN: Father of the World,

please hear my prayer.

Father of the World...

[SPEAKING CHEROKEE]

[CHANTING IN CHEROKEE]

[SIGHS]

That was good, Sam.

Why don't you go get yourself cleaned up, Walker,

and I'll take care of the horses?

Okay, thanks.

[PHONE RINGS]

Alex Cahill.

Alex, this is Kyle. Kyle Erickson.

Kyle, it's been forever! How are you?

Actually, not too good at the moment. We need to talk.

KYLE: Can you meet me at Willoughby Park in an hour?

Kyle, it's really bad timing. I've got this big trial, and--

Alex, you know me.

I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important.

All right, I'll meet you.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

STUART: Sam. Glad you're back.

Something has to be done about this White Eagle situation.

White Eagle's at it again?

We have a report he's down at the south pasture,

chanting at the cattle.

Well, actually, Doc, my friend here

might be just what you're looking for.

Ranger Cordell Walker.

Oh, a Texas Ranger. Happy to meet you.

Nice meeting you.

I'm Stuart Riser.

I'm sort of in charge of the experimental station here

and the dairy farm out back.

Except for Mr. White Eagle, everything's going fine.

White Eagle?

He's, uh, got some problems with the project.

Walker knows White Eagle, even better than me.

Oh. Well, maybe you could convince him

that what we're trying to do is going to help his people.

Frankly, my patience is wearing thin.

This morning, his chanting scared off two of my workers.

Well, White Eagle is our spiritual leader here, Dr. Riser.

Look, I don't want any trouble,

so maybe you could talk to him, if you will?

You know, do what you can?

Okay.

White Eagle, he just doesn't understand the new ways, Walker.

Well, let's go talk to him.

[***]

Hi, Alex.

[GUNSHOT]

Oh, my God! Kyle!

[WHITE EAGLE CHANTING]

[HONKING]

[HONKING]

Hello, White Eagle.

Good morning, Washoe.

Are you and Coyote here to arrest me?

No, just to talk.

I would like to talk to you, Washoe,

but there's no time for that.

I had a dream.

When I woke up,

I heard an owl,

the worst thing you can hear on a new day.

What was the dream about?

Father of the World is angry.

He doesn't want chemicals in his milk and beef.

So I came here to warn everybody

to watch out and stop making him mad.

But they don't listen.

I'll listen.

Ah.

The people around here

do not understand

what kind of thing this is going on here.

[CAR DOOR CLOSES]

What was the old man's problem?

Well, White Eagle thinks

that whatever you're putting in the feed is dangerous.

That's ridiculous. Perfectly safe.

Well, I've known White Eagle for a long time, Dr. Riser,

and I respect his visions.

Mind if I take a look around?

No, no problem. Turn the place upside down if you like.

I don't know, Alex. For an attorney,

this guy doesn't seem to have any enemies at all.

He was a really good man.

He said he had something important to tell me.

You think it has anything to do with Agri-Feed Co.?

I don't know, but I think it's a good place to start.

Look, this project is safe,

and economically, it's going to help our people a lot.

Yeah, I hope so. I really do.

Who's the vet?

Luther.

I thought he retired.

He tried, but he couldn't stand it.

Luther's been with the project from the beginning.

Washoe!

How you doing, Luther?

Been a long time.

Yeah, it sure has been.

You remember my daughter Shana.

Shana. You've grown up.

Walker. Glad you noticed.

Little Shana Iron Shirt, M.D.

She took over from Doc Black Storm at the main reservation clinic.

[CHUCKLES] So Washoe,

are you here on a business call or pleasure?

A combination of both, Luther.

It's, uh, White Eagle.

Ah, White Eagle.

He's fought the dairy project from the beginning.

Why don't I show you around?

Good. I appreciate it.

[***]

[COW MOOING]

Well, my friend, what do you think?

Everything looks good, Luther.

[GROANS]

Hey, Dad, how you doing? You all right?

I'm okay, honey.

It's the heat.

Yeah, I got to get back to Dallas.

I've got a court appearance.

It was good seeing you, Shana.

It's very nice seeing you, Walker.

See you, Luther.

You bet.

So, good buddy, when are we going to do this again?

As soon as I can.

Sam...

White Eagle's a very wise man.

I'd heed his warning.

Okay. Thank you.

[***]

[PANTING]

See, Doc? Like I said, three dead and another one sick.

SHANA: What do you think it is?

I don't know, Shana...

[COW MOOING]

But we'd better get back.

Oh!

[ALL GROANING]

Dad. Dad, you're burning up.

Must be the sun. Let's get him back.

[CELL PHONE BEEPING]

This is Riser at Site Blue.

The tiger is loose.

I don't give a damn. Advise King's Bishop.

[CAWING]

[BREATH TREMBLING]

[BRAKES SCREECH]

Come on, honey.

[***]

Kyle was right.

It's Uganda all over again.

We need to call Riser!

Tell him to start inoculating people with the antidote.

Doug, just calm down.

You have an antidote? Experimental.

Synthesized from the blood of one of the survivors in Uganda.

Riser's got 100 units with him.

I'll call Riser and tell him to get started.

No.

Now, we've already spent millions

developing these feed supplements.

We can't afford another mistake.

What are you saying, Mr. Stanley?

Oh, I'm saying

that little reservation town

just became a living laboratory.

Whoever survives will give us the answers we need

to create a supplement that will never get out of control again.

Billions in future profits, Doug,

for the lives of a few Cherokee.

Think about it.

[SIGHS]

Yes, sir, I understand.

DR. SULLIVAN: [ON PHONE] Any lawmen around?

Just one tribal policeman.

There was a Texas Ranger, but he's gone.

Is it clear to send down the containment squad?

Absolutely. Send them in.

[***]

[ALL GROANING]

[KICKS DOOR OPEN]

Shana.

FATHER: Katie!

Oh, my God.

I found her on the road.

Katie. Katie. Oh, God.

She has the same marks on the face and neck as Dad.

What's wrong with them?

I don't know, Walker.

I'm going to I'm going to go get my wife.

The temperatures look through the roof.

Now we've got to cool them down,

or they're never going to make the main reservation hospital.

All right? We need more ice, more wet towels.

I'll try and get fluids inside of them.

All right, hurry!

[DOOR CLOSES]

[BREATH TREMBLING]

Emil-Emily? Emily, are you all right?

Oh, no. I'll get the doctor.

[COUGHING]

[GROANS]

We got more ice.

There's got to be a connection

between the dead cows we found and what's happening here.

Dead cows?

Yeah, we found some dead cows.

[PANTING]

[DOOR CLOSES]

SHANA: Lie them down right there.

Same marks on the face and neck.

Could this be from the food they've eaten?

Oh, yeah, it's possible.

But if it is, it's crossing over right now.

What do you mean?

A virus mutates constantly.

It might have started with the food,

but by now, this thing is airborne.

S-Shana.

[ALL GROANING]

Find... Dr. Riser.

I'll find him.

I heard some of the workers have become ill.

What's going on here, Doctor?

When I learned animals were found dead,

I contacted the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta.

They're on their way out.

Could this have anything to do

with the supplements in the feed?

I hardly think so.

Until we find out what this is,

the CDC has ordered a quarantine.

They'll be out here in a couple of hours.

There could be other sick people out there.

I'll check the houses, you check the stores.

Yeah.

[***]

Hello, anyone home?

[DOOR CLOSES]

[ALL GROANING]

[ALL GROANING]

Come on.

I'll get you to the clinic.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

Yeah, I understand, Walker. Is there anything I can do from this end?

Yeah. Check out a company called Agri-Feed Co.

You want me to check out Agri-Feed Co.?

Yeah. Why?

This guy, Alex's friend, was their corporate counsel.

He called her and says he's got some information for her.

She goes to the meeting.

He shows up at the meeting, and somebody takes him out

with a high-caliber round to the chest.

Is Alex okay?

Yeah, she's all right.

She's a little shaken up, but she's okay.

Anything else?

Yeah. Agri-Feed Co. has a project out here

where they're adding supplements to the feed.

And another thing... check out a Dr. Stuart Riser.

He's heading the project.

All right.

Hey, Walker, how bad is it?

It's real bad.

All right, I'm on it.

Okay, thanks.

What's your status?

[HELICOPTER HOVERING]

Sick people are in the vet's clinic.

The virus is contagious and virulent.

Four people are dead, and more on the way.

And we've got a medical doctor and a Texas Ranger.

A Texas Ranger? I thought he left.

Well, he came back.

Got to make it look good, Sullivan, okay?

Don't I always? Don't worry, Riser.

This tiger won't be any different than the others.

All right.

Tell the chopper pilot to fall back to Base Alpha.

[***]

[TIRES SCREECH]

Get out of here.

Come on, let's go.

[SOLDIERS SHOUTING ORDERS, INDISTINCT]

MAN: Move back, now. Come on.

[HELICOPTER HOVERING]

We want to leave.

Nobody leaves. Get back now.

But people are dying. We don't want to die.

The next one gets shot.

WALKER: That's enough.

You okay?

Stay out of this, or you'll get the same thing.

I wouldn't try it if I were you.

Oh, no?

[ALL GROANING]

Drop it.

Hey, what's the problem? Stop this. Stop it.

I'm Dr. Sullivan, Ranger. I'm in charge here.

And I apologize for these men. I'm sorry.

Return to your posts.

All right, everyone get back to the clinic.

It'll be all right.

Thank you. Now, if you'll excuse me,

I've got a lot of work to do.

[***]

We've set up a triage center outside.

After preliminary examinations, the most serious cases

will be sent to a containment center a half mile from here.

All right, well, what can I do to help?

Well, all the basics:

Temperature control, vital signs.

We're gonna be testing everything in sight,

so don't worry, we'll get to the bottom of this.

Uh-huh.

MAN: Check on those people over there.

Why don't you go ahead and go with him, doctor?

All right, thanks. You bet.

[WHITE EAGLE CHANTING]

What the hell are you doing?

Healing.

Healing? [LAUGHS]

Get out of here, you old fool!

He's not an old fool, Dr. Sullivan.

He's the spiritual leader of this reservation.

[CHUCKLES] Well, well.

All he's doin' is getting in the way. Get him out of here.

You heal their bodies.

He'll tend to their spirits, okay?

Okay.

That one hides himself and thinks no one can see.

What's White Eagle talking about?

He says he thinks Dr. Sullivan speaks with

forked tongue.

[RATTLING]

[CHANTING]

Another dead Cherokee.

Last one this trip.

All right. Okay. Lift.

WHITE EAGLE: Father of the World, hear my words.

I have tried to stop this plague upon our mother, the earth.

But my people do not listen.

They hear only the empty promises of these strangers,

who will not respect the spirits or the land that keeps us.

And now, I am a man alone asking for your help.

Show me the way, Father of the World.

Give me the power to make my people see

that no one can own the earth.

That is like saying you can own the wind.

Give the words to strengthen their hearts

so that we may vanquish the foe.

And then show us the way through the dark smoke of evil

so that our spirits will once again rise and soar like eagles.

[EAGLE SHRIEKS]

BRAD: [ON PHONE] Riser, this is Brad Stanley. What's our status?

Ahem, well, sir, with the number of infected subjects

increasing significantly,

our chances of isolating the virus

increase at the same rate.

And how long before we get positive results?

I'm not sure, sir.

We've never let the virus run this long before.

You got 24 hours.

Then I'm ordering the extermination

of that little Cherokee town.

[DIAL TONE]

[***]

How's your father?

Oh, God. Very sick.

Thank God he's holding his own.

Shana, why haven't we gotten it?

Well, the only rule for this kind of contagion

is that everyone's different

and finding out why some people resist a virus

is the first step to finding a cure.

So...

Hey, what are you doing?

What the hell are you doing?

MAN: Dr. Riser ordered a blood sample.

He's still alive, all right?

The least you could do

is take basic sterility precautions.

Here.

Ever get the feeling you were completely expendable?

I just did.

I can't believe he's only giving us 24 hours.

Word's out there's a problem here.

If I don't identify the virus mutation,

the whole program goes down the drain.

Well, then, Doctor, I'd suggest that you get busy.

Sam.

You okay? [COUGHS]

Maybe it was that snake we ate.

Let me get you inside.

Shana!

You may not even have 24 hours.

I better get a shot of the antidote.

[SAM SPEAKING CHEROKEE]

[SPEAKING CHEROKEE]

What are you doing, Sam?

Talking to the ancestors, Washoe.

Come on. Let's get you back inside.

What's the use?

I'm dying.

I don't want to hear that, Sam.

You're too tough to die.

Walker's right, Sam.

People survive these kinds of viruses.

Besides, you've always been too good-looking.

I need to

talk to... White Eagle.

WHITE EAGLE: He's here, Coyote.

Will Father of the World

still listen to me?

After me

wanting to be so modern.

Will he still hear me?

Ah.

[SPEAKING CHEROKEE]

He never stopped, Sam.

[DISTANT HOWLING]

[***]

[CAWING]

Riser doesn't seem too worried

about catching this thing.

SHANA: Yeah, well, he's a doctor.

Comes with the territory.

Maybe.

I'm gonna call Trivette,

see if he's found out anything.

Wait. You can't. Phone's out.

I tried earlier.

Well, I've got a phone in the truck.

You want to come along?

Yeah.

What are we going to do now?

Get some answers.

TRIVETTE: Brad Stanley's the chairman of Agri-Feed Co.

"Suspected of infecting animals

"with an experimental feed supplement."

Wiped out everyone in the village!

The same one that was involved

in the Uganda meningitis mess.

Walker mentioned the CDC had already been notified.

Let's see if they have.

Okay. What is it that we're looking for?

I don't know.

Walker, I don't believe it.

What is it?

It's the antidote.

[DOOR OPENS]

What are you two doing here?

We've, uh, we've come to see Dr. Riser.

Come with me. I'll take you to him.

Give me your gun.

[SOLDIERS GROAN]

Hold on over there! Get in the truck.

Shana.

You okay?

[SHIVERING]

I think so.

Where are we?

In the cooler.

Walker's attempted escape was the last straw.

We gotta cut our losses immediately.

That's crazy. I'll contact King's Bishop. He won't...

No, King's Bishop ordered cleanup, Dr. Riser.

Oh, and, uh, something else...

[ALL GROANING]

Put everyone in the clinic, then torch it.

Nobody gets out to testify. You understand.

It's Sarah Big Tree.

We just found Dr. Sullivan's containment center

for more serious cases.

[HELICOPTER HOVERING]

Texas Ranger James Trivette.

Thanks.

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTING]

[SHIVERING]

WHITE EAGLE: Washoe, are you alive or dead?

We're alive, White Eagle, but we're freezing.

Good. There's a lot of work out there for one old eagle.

[***]

SOLDIER 1: Watch yourselves. SOLDIER 2: Yeah.

The antidote.

Where the hell is it?

Looking for this?

[ALL GROANING]

Tie him up.

Let's go. Get to it!

Let's burn it to the ground.

Oh!

Hey.

[GROANING]

Hey, what are you doing?

Torch it.

No way, man. We can't kill all these people.

Fine. I'll do it myself.

Get out of here, quick!

All right, guys, let's find Walker.

Thanks.

Thank you, Walker.

Hi, Katie.

I talked to the doctor. He says you're gonna be fine,

and so is your mom and dad.

I told you were too tough to die.

I like Shana's reason better.

What's that?

She said I was too good-lookin' to die.

Oh, brother. [LAUGHING]

Oh. How you doin'?

Good. All right.

Hey, I talked to Alex. They arrested Brad Stanley.

Oh, great. Yeah.

Oh, you shouldn't have taken off your mask, Ranger.

Why not?

Because you have to get a shot now.

Oh, no. I just got here.

You took the mask off.

No. But I don't like shots.

It doesn't matter. What?

It's just a small needle.

No. They are never small.

Is it gonna hurt?

Well, it hurts going in.

Oh, man.

Big time. What?

[LAUGHING]

All done, Ranger.

That's it?

You big liar!

[BOTH CHUCKLE] It didn't hurt.

* 'Cause the eyes of the Ranger are upon you*
