[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Hey, Shannon, let's jump in and meet at the deep end.

Hi!

[BEEP]

Cheers.

[BEEP]

[SUSTAINED BEEPING]

When this blows,

Golden Wells is going to be completely isolated.

No phones, no fax, no TV, no radio, nothing.

Nothing but the phones we give them

and the calls we tell them to make.

Those rich people are probably not too good at taking orders.

No, they'll get good at it. I guarantee it.

Grady, what are you doing?

Damn, Walt, don't be sneaking up on me like that.

Well, the phones in the Cottonwood suites went out

and my buddy Chet here was helping out.

You know better than than, Grady.

I'm the head of security here at Golden Wells.

All this stuff has got to be cleared through me.

Should I clear this?

Oh!

Too bad. You were a good man, Walt.

You know the drill. Let's move.

TRIVETTE: No, no, no! The market's on its way up.

You're gonna get your money back.

I've heard that song before.

But this one is a hit record.

Sir, why are you so happy? What?

Well, my good friend Tom Barris--

No, my great friend Tom Barris over at Company F

just got a marvelous job as chief of security for Golden Wells Resort.

Oh, that's right. He's retiring soon, isn't he?

That's right. Tom's out of here in two weeks.

Well, why are you so happy?

Well, the previous security guard must have quit.

Golden Wells Resorts needs a security man right now.

Tom retires in two weeks.

They hired me in the interim.

Good pay, just kick back, take it easy,

and what can I say?

Congratulations. Thank you.

Can you handle it? Can I handle it?

For crying out loud, rubbin' elbows with the rich and famous.

Yes, sirree, just tuck them in

and pull the light switch.

Is everybody here going to miss me?

ALL: No!

GRADY: Golden Wells is a little slice of heaven, pure and simple.

You know, it's hard to understand

how a man could walk away from a job like this.

[SIGHS]

Walt Kimber, he, uh,

he was a good man, but, well...

Well, I guess alcohol can bring down the best of us.

An alcohol problem?

Yeah, he walked off the job one day.

We never saw him again.

Hmm.

[PHONE BEEPING]

Excuse me, C.D.

Grady.

All right. I'll be there in a few minutes.

Seems one of the guests got locked out of their suite.

Amy at the front desk will set you up with a room,

and then we'll catch up later.

Okay. All right?

Thank you. Yeah, you're welcome, okay?

Thank you. All right. See you.

[♪]

[CLEARS THROAT]

Talk to her.

Ahem.

Can I help you?

Yes, ma'am, I'm C.D. Parker,

retired Texas Ranger,

and I'm out here from Dallas.

I'm in charge of security over at the Golden Wells Resort.

Oh, well, I'm Sheriff Annie Wilkins.

Well, it's a pleasure.

Thank you. What can I do for you, Mr. Parker?

I'd kind of like to find out a little bit

about the fella that had this job before me.

Walt Kimber.

Yes, ma'am.

I, uh, I heard that, uh,

that he was a drinker and he walked off the job.

You heard wrong.

Walt was never a drinker,

and he would never walk off any job.

Yes, ma'am.

Somehow I had that feeling. That's why I'm here.

Well, I wonder if I could, uh,

eyeball that missing person report.

All right, then.

Whoa! Hey! Watch it, kid!

[MEN AND WOMEN COMPLAINING]

[HONKING] MAN: Watch where you're going!

Look out!

Close call, little lady. Mighty close call.

Didn't I tell you to stay off that thing?

Yeah, you told me.

I knew bringing you here was a mistake.

I didn't know you made mistakes, Dad.

You pull another stunt like this,

and you're gonna be grounded for the rest of your life.

Gee, Dad, you mean I'll have to spend more time by myself?

That'd be different.

You know, Kelly, that is, like, so rude.

Who asked you?

Watch your mouth, young lady.

Just a minute.

I'm C.D. Parker, in charge of security here.

Charles Sanderson. Nice to know you.

This is Tiffany. How do you do?

And, of course, you already met Kelly.

I assure you, Mr. Parker,

this type of foolishness will not happen again.

I'm sure she's learned a good lesson here.

She'll be more careful next time.

Well, let's hope so.

Dinner's at 6:30.

I'll expect you to be dressed appropriately.

"I'll expect you to be dressed appropriately."

He's such a jerk.

Now, Mr. Parker, I don't want you to take this the wrong way,

but, uh, here at Golden Wells,

we try to observe a certain decorum.

Especially with our Golden Circle guests.

Decorum. Yes, sir.

I think I understand that, Mr. Bracken.

With, uh, clients like Benjamin Davis

dropping $10,000 a night in one of our suites,

we find it's in our best interests

to keep their blood pressure on the low side.

Benjamin Davis.

The Benjamin Davis is staying here?

Yeah, he's arriving tomorrow.

I thought Grady filled you in on all this.

He wanted me to get the lay of the land

before we got to particulars.

Well, this is a pretty important particular.

Mr. Davis is holding his anniversary party here at Golden Wells

with a small number of his very close

and very rich associates.

Shut my mouth.

But Mr. And Mrs. Davis will be hosting

an elite circle of Fortune 500 families,

including the father of that little girl you just saved.

Oh.

They have to have their privacy.

So the best thing you, Grady, and the others can do

is stay out of their way.

Mr. Bracken, it's, uh,

it's been my experience with people like this

that, uh, the best security man

is a, uh, invisible security man.

Mr. Parker-- Uh, C.D., please.

C.D., you and I are going to get along just fine.

Thank you, sir.

WALKER: I'm on my way, Alex.

I'll meet you at the Cafe Marina in 10 minutes.

We'll have lunch.

ALEX: Okay, I'll see you there.

[WOMAN SCREAMS]

MAN: Stop them!

They're robbing my jewelry store!

Let's get out of here! Let's get out of here now!

[SCREAMING]

[PUNCH LANDS] [SCREAMING]

[♪]

Don't you ever stop working?

I just stopped.

Let's eat.

There you are. ALEX: Thank you.

Maybe one of these days, we'll get through lunch without you arresting someone.

Maybe. [CELL PHONE RINGS]

Don't you ever stop working?

[BEEP] Alex Cahill.

Yes. Just a minute.

It's for you.

Commissioner Johnson.

Yes, Commissioner. Ranger Walker,

yeah, I just got off the phone with the Governor.

Yeah, this weekend,

10 of the richest men in America and their families

are going to be coming to Texas

for a gathering at a resort called Golden Wells.

Golden Wells?

I want you to get a small security detail together

and go down there and keep an eye on things.

And, uh, let's keep this discreet.

We don't want to raise any unnecessary alarms.

Okay, Commissioner, I'll take care of it.

Golden Wells. Isn't that where C.D. is?

Mm-hmm.

I'd better call C.D. About what?

They're having some big function out there this weekend,

and the Governor wants me to go out and keep an eye on things...

discreetly. Discreetly.

Well, you can't go by yourself.

That would be completely suspicious.

You need to take your wife.

That's not a bad idea.

I wonder who I should take.

Very funny. Give me that phone. [LAUGHS]

[PHONE RINGS]

This is Grady.

He's a former Texas Ranger.

I think it would be a big mistake

to underestimate this man.

That's what I'm saying. We should keep an eye on him.

No.

No, no, nobody's going to give us any trouble. I won't allow it.

We have nothing to worry about.

Welcome to Golden Wells, ma'am.

The bags are in the trunk.

[♪]

This dad-gummed red clay sure is sticky.

If old Silas hadn't gone deer hunting off-season,

we never would have found Walt's car.

Yeah, it doesn't look too good.

How tall was Walt Kimber?

About 6'2". Why?

Well, whoever drove this vehicle was about 5'8".

I think Kimber's body is somewhere in these woods.

Bitterroot Park's over 4,000 acres.

Search could take days.

Well, Sheriff, I'd focus my search

on about a 1,000-yard radius of this vehicle.

I'll get a team together.

[SHUTTER CLICKING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[♪]

Stop!

What?

You know what I want to do?

What? Drive this thing.

Oh, no, no. They get real uptight

about stuff like that around here.

Okay.

I get it.

20 now, 20 when we get back.

I can't take that. I'm sorry.

Look, if you're so scared of losing your job,

maybe I'll make it so you don't have one.

C.D.: Jerry!

Hi, Mr. Parker.

What can I do for you?

There's some folks over by the pool

that need some refreshments.

Take care of them for me, will you?

Absolutely, Mr. Parker.

Thank you.

That was kind of mean,

you talking about getting that young fella fired.

I was only kidding.

That's not the point, honey.

You could have caused him an awful lot of trouble.

My Dad would have taken care of it.

You think your daddy can take care of everything?

[SCOFFS] He's got enough money.

There's some things that money can't buy.

Like what?

Friendship, loyalty.

Come on. I'll walk you over.

Well, we're at that point again, Walker.

What point's that?

Like the first day on the river,

or the first day on the mountain,

when life couldn't get any better,

or we couldn't get any better.

Oh, yeah, I remember.

The calm before the storm.

Exactly.

♪ Money talks...

Oh, I see that Mr. Van der Vette has arrived.

I don't want any scratches. Yes, sir.

That's Italian leather. Yes, sir.

Mr. Van der Vette, David Bracken.

I'm the general manager.

Welcome to Golden Wells.

My pleasure. I've heard a lot about your resort.

Mr. Van der Vette, I'm sorry.

All our Golden Circle suites are taken,

but I'm sure you'll be very happy with the Lone Star room.

I hope so.

Parker!

Yes, Mr. Bracken.

If you have any security needs,

please feel free to call on Mr. Parker.

He's a former Texas Ranger.

You'll be in good hands.

Oh, is he playing it up. Oh.

Very good.

Make sure that all of my luggage

gets to the Lone Star room...

Parker.

Parker?

You cheapskate. $1.00.

Jack, don't stand there gawking. Get back there and help those guys.

[SOFT PIANO PLAYING]

Ah, Mr. Van der Vette. Yeah. How are you?

Hey, you want to take a look at that prospectus we were talking about?

Uh, yes. I appreciate you taking the time.

My pleasure.

Got it right here.

Okay, let's take a look here.

Hmm, so what'd you come up with?

Clean slate on all the employees.

No pops on anybody named Paul Grady.

An alias? Paul Gravis.

He spent time for aggravated assault,

weapons violations, and drug trafficking.

Well, that's C.D.'s second-in-command.

How did he get clearance?

Probably the same way we did.

Put a false ID on a computer.

Maybe C.D. can find out who brought him in.

Wow!

What?

Not what, who. Howard Barkley, Unitec.

That guy's worth millions.

And there's Everett Bond and Morgan Daniels.

The Commissioner wasn't kidding.

The richest of the rich really are here.

You know what?

I know how much you make.

I want to go sit with them.

Mr. Bond. He did not just say that.

[LAUGHING]

Any favorite courses, Jim?

Well...

You know, I'd have to go with St. Martin's in Brussels.

Played there last month.

St. Martin's flooded last year, son.

It's a swampland.

Some people would call it that,

but I've hit out of worse rough.

[LAUGHING]

There's Ben.

Ahem, sorry I'm late.

I got turned the wrong way at the... the clubhouse.

It's not a problem, Ben.

Benjamin Davis, Macro Systems.

Uh, you are?

I'm Jimmy Van der Vette. VDT Corp.

I just heard you never come out in public.

Well, my wife would be a little disappointed

if I didn't show up at my own anniversary party.

[CHUCKLES]

New man does the honors.

All right.

Same as usual...

$1,000?

$1,000 a round. That sounds reasonable.

That's per hole.

[GLASS BREAKS]

[LAUGHS]

Parker's definitely up to something.

He's got Kimber's missing person file here.

I agree. I'll take care of it.

[PHONE RINGS]

[RINGING CONTINUES]

GRADY: The time's come. That old Ranger's gotta go.

You know the drill. Consider it done.

Hey, Kelly, what are you doing down here by yourself?

My goodness, what's that?

$200.

All I wanted to do was play tennis with him.

And he gives me this instead.

Ever since he divorced Mom,

I hardly see him anymore.

Scoot over a little bit, hon.

Well, your daddy's kind of confused,

and you're a real fine little girl.

And one of these days when you get a little bit older,

he's going to regret that.

Excuse me, Mr. Parker, but there's been a break-in reported

at the utility shed by the golf course.

I thought you might want to check it out.

Okay, you bet.

You just hang in there, kiddo, okay?

I wonder what that's all about.

[♪]

[GRUNTS]

You should have minded your own business, old man.

[FURIOUS YELL]

You okay, C.D.?

Hell, no. My head hurts.

Here. Here you go.

Whew!

WALKER: There was no ID on the body.

The sheriff's taking him back to Dallas.

They're going to run his prints through NCIC.

How's C.D. Doing?

Oh, he's got a headache, but he'll be all right.

What do you think these guys are up to?

I don't know,

but whatever it is, it's gonna come down soon.

I bet it's got something to do with Davis.

You might be right.

You keep an eye on him. We'll watch the other CEOs.

You got it.

DAVIS: That is the first time I ever got the ball

out of the sand trap in one.

TRIVETTE: Scooping the yolk off an egg.

Right. Right. That's right.

I think metronome. That's right, metronome.

Yeah, you got a good eye. Trust it.

I guess the only way I'm going to improve my golf game

is to get out and play more often.

You know, that's not the only thing it improves, sir.

What do you mean?

I mean Macro Systems-- down 18% last year.

You know why? Why?

Because everyone thinks you're a recluse.

[SHARP EXHALE]

I'm not comfortable in public.

No kidding. But listen, how are people going to know

if you're a hands-on kind of guy?

How are we going to know that you're a leader?

Maybe you're right, Jim. Maybe I have become too isolated.

Yes. You ought to try showing up

at a stockholders' meeting once in a while.

Yeah. The Wall Street Journal

has been after me for months for an interview.

I was thinking about this.

You ought to start your own website.

That's a good idea, Jim. Yeah.

That's a very good idea. Yeah, yeah.

I hear you're having an anniversary party.

Yes, we are. You should come.

Well, thank you,

but I promised this other couple

that I'd join them for dinner.

Well, bring them along.

Well, all right, Ben.

Look out! Oh!

Dad, Dad, Dad!

He's busy right now, honey.

Don't call me that. Dad!

What is it, Kelly?

Well, come on. Let's go play tennis.

You promised yesterday.

I can't right now. I'm busy.

Son. Yeah, you. Come over here a second, will you?

Yes, sir.

Take my daughter over to the courts

and let her hit some balls with the pro.

Sure thing, Mr. Sanderson.

Come on, Kelly.

ALEX: Sanderson better watch out.

One of these days, that little girl is just going to walk away.

That's for sure.

What'd you find out, C.D.?

Grady was hired by Bracken, the general manager,

but he wasn't promoted even for the two weeks

till Tom Barris could get here.

That's because he knew Grady had a record.

The stockholders would have demanded

a more in-depth background search.

I've got a hunch Bracken set you up last night.

Yep.

Okay, let's stay on alert, C.D.

Dag-gummit,

I thought I was going to get a vacation out of this.

You and me both.

Well, let's let Trivette know what's going on, okay?

Okay.

Speak of the devil.

He's supposed to protect that fella, not drown him.

BRACKEN: All right, in two hours,

there'll be no turning back.

No mistakes, Grady.

I want this thing to go like clockwork.

Good. See you at the party.

All right, let's get packed up. Get ready to move.

Mr. Parker, how come you care what I do,

but my Dad doesn't?

Well, I'm sure he does.

The two weeks I get with him, we come here,

where he hardly pays any attention to me at all.

Look, hon, your dad is just confused right now

about what the important things in life are.

I'm sure after a while, he'll-- he'll change it.

I wish he was more like you.
