MAN [OVER P.A.]: Congratulations to our top three finishers--

Martha, Audrey, and Sally.

They will be going on to San Antonio next week

to represent North Texas.

Did you see me, Ranger Walker?

I sure did, hon.

You were great.

Was I brave?

You were sure brave.

Hey, Mom!

Ranger Walker said I was brave.

Oh, I love you, Ranger Walker.

I love you, too, hon.

I don't know, but I'd say

that somebody has a crush on you know who.

Yeah, you're right, I do.

But don't get jealous.

[LAUGHTER]

KENNY: Really, Mr. Foley,

things are lining up perfectly.

We got the judge we wanted,

we got the jury we wanted.

I had one of the clerks at the law firm

run a series of simulations through the computer,

and by all indications

you have an 83% chance of acquittal.

Eighty-three percent?

Mm.

What's that, like, five out of six?

Exactly, sir.

I must say those are excellent odds.

One bullet, five empty chambers.

If I pull this trigger,

you got an 83% chance I don't blow you away.

Now do you still think those are excellent odds?

No, sir, Mr. Foley.

Neither do I.

That's why I'm taking matters into my own hands.

Take the day off, go play some golf.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Riggs.

I'll make it simple.

His name is Trent Malloy.

He's the only witness left

standing between me and my freedom.

And you want him dead.

Yeah.

Two-hundred and fifty thousand.

Fifty now, 200,000 on completion.

That's a lot of money.

Don't let his looks fool you.

He's more dangerous than you think.

MILES: Excuse me, Mr. Foley.

But I already told you

I can take care of Malloy.

And I work alone.

I can appreciate that.

Because I work alone, too.

Have you got any milk?

TRENT: Alex, you've got nothing to worry about.

Foley may have scared the other witnesses

into changing their stories,

but I don't scare that easy.

I know that, Trent.

But I really want to win this one.

When is the trial?

Ten days.

I wish it were tomorrow.

Yeah, me, too.

She's got me so prepared,

I'm testifying in my sleep.

Hey. Ready for the big day?

Yeah.

I can't believe I let you guys talk me into this.

Talk you into what?

No. Never mind. Not a word.

[CHUCKLING]

CARLOS [OVER COMM]: This has gotta be the lamest thing

I have ever done.

Like anyone's gonna fall for this.

My feet ache, my back is killing me.

And this bra...

I don't even want to go there.

By the way, whose idea was it

to give me such large breasts?

Are you guys listening to me?

Yes, we're listening, Carlos.

Carlos, we've had six women

from the senior center hit in the last three weeks.

Four of them wound up in the hospital.

Yeah, I know, I know,

but still, I mean seriously...

how stupid does somebody have to be

to mistake me for a woman?

TRIVETTE: Oh, I don't know.

I've always thought you had a sort of

feminine quality.

A what? What did you say?

He said you had a feminine quality, Carlos.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Ah, that's very funny.

But serious, you guys, I mean,

how much longer are we--

Hold the phone.

I think we may have something.

Four morons headed this way.

Let's go.

Look at that old lady.

She's talking to herself.

Let's do it.

[ALL GRUNTING]

It's hard fighting in a dress.

Don't even say it.

Say what? I didn't say anything. Did I say anything?

No. He didn't say anything.

I didn't say anything.

Hello, ladies.

Hi. Donna, how's Sally doing?

She's great. She's looking forward to going to San Antonio.

I'll bet. Please tell her I'm rooting for her.

I will.

Alex, this is some of the equipment

for the women's self-defense class.

Where should I put it? ALEX: Hm...

Why don't you put it in the back

until I can figure out what to do with it.

- You got it. - Thank you.

Trent's teaching a self-defense class?

Yes. Some of the women requested it.

That's a great idea.

Yeah.

Here you go. Tomorrow 3:00.

Your job interview.

- Tomorrow at 3:00? - Is there a problem?

Sally's got a practice for San Antonio.

TRENT: I'll take her.

I'm free tomorrow afternoon.

I'd be happy to help out.

Are you sure?

Positive.

Thanks.

That's it, Sally. Keep it up. Keep it up.

You can do it!

Whoo-hoo! All right!

Oh, excellent work, Sally.

You run like that in San Antonio,

and you're not gonna have anything to worry about.

I hope so. Aw.

You should be very proud of yourself, honey.

I am.

DONOVAN: Organized religion is built

for people to be afraid of hell.

Spirituality is for people who have been there.

Mr. Malloy, can I ask you a question?

Sure.

If you call me Trent.

Okay, Mr. Trent. Heh.

Do you think I'm pretty?

Yes, Sally.

I think you're very pretty.

Am I pretty as Ms. Cahill?

Well, you know, Sally,

you're both pretty women

in your own special way.

Thanks, Trent.

You're welcome, sweetie.

[♪]

Excuse me, son.

There's a young lady who's been hurt

in the back of the alley.

She needs some help.

Could you come with me?

Yes, Father. Thank you.

Sally, you wait right here, okay? Okay.

Don't move from this spot. Promise me.

I promise.

Be right back.

TRENT: Where is she?

She was here.

[TRENT SCREAMS, GRUNTS]

You're in over your head, kid.

Help!

MAN 1: Where's that coming from?

MAN 2: What is that?

MAN 3: Over here! Over here!

MAN 1: Come on, let's go!

Help!

Help!

Oh, my God. Call 911!

Hurry up! Call 911!

I came as soon as I heard.

How's Trent?

Well, he just got out of surgery.

What happened? We don't know yet.

Sally was the only witness.

Is she all right?

She's pretty shaken up.

[HEART MONITOR BEEPING]

Doc, how is he?

The surgery went about as well as we could have hoped.

The knife punctured a lung and nicked his aorta.

But thank God he's in such great shape,

otherwise he never would have even made it to the hospital.

He's gonna be all right, though, isn't he?

Well, it's too soon to say one way or the other.

I'm sorry. I wish I had better news.

Can we see him?

Yes. Just for a minute.

What he needs now is rest...

and your prayers.

[WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER P.A.]

We gotta get the guy who did this, Walker.

We will.

[♪]

I thought you were supposed to be the best.

I am.

Oh, really? Malloy's still alive.

But he's not able to testify.

What about the witness?

Witness?

You mean the retarded one?

[♪]

CARLOS: Hey, buddy.

Uh, I don't know if you can hear me or not,

so I'm just gonna talk.

Doc says it's, uh, still kind of touch and go.

Said they've done just about all they can and...

now it's up to you.

So...

you...

you fight, buddy.

Don't give up.

You hear me?

Don't you dare give up.

[♪]

[CHATTING INDISTINCTLY]

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

Damn it!

WALKER: Easy, Carlos.

Man, I just keep thinking, Walker,

this didn't have to happen, you know, if...

If Trent had only had a gun...

Well, you and I both know the reason why

he won't use a gun.

Let me see it, Trent.

[GUN FIRES] [BOY GROANING]

Yeah.

I know, Walker, but still...

If Trent's not going to carry a gun,

then he's gonna have to learn to use something else...

besides his hands and feet.

Like what?

I'm not sure yet.

But when he comes out of this,

he and I are gonna have a long talk.

[DRY CHUCKLE]

Nice punch.

Heh. Tell that to my knuckles.

You better cover up that hole though.

[LIGHT CHATTERING]

Crime scene people did a good job

of preserving the site.

Walker, it doesn't make sense.

I mean, other than you,

Trent is one of the best martial artists I've ever seen.

He's right.

Who could've done this?

Whoever this guy is,

he had a lot of confidence in his fighting ability.

Why do you say that?

Because of the bruises on Trent's face.

They went hand-to-hand first.

So Trent must've been holding his own.

Yeah, until this guy decided

to improve his odds with a knife.

You think maybe Foley hired him

to prevent Trent from testifying?

Yeah, I do.

And when we catch him,

we're gonna prove it.

MILES: That's it, Mr. Foley.

What do you mean you're out?

I can't be a part of this.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

Look, Mr. Foley, you don't need me anyway.

You got rid of the only witness.

At this point, a monkey could get you off.

I can refer you to another attorney.

I don't want another attorney. Please, Mr. Foley--

I've always treated you well, haven't I?

Yes, sir.

I've trusted you, Miles.

You know things,

things that would make you very dangerous

if you turned against me.

You will continue to represent me.

And you will get me cleared of these charges.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

Good. Good.

I like to know that we can discuss our differences.

How's your little boy Nicky?

He's fine. Good.

'Cause I worry about him.

The world is gonna be such a dangerous place.

[♪]

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

Like this?

Is Mr. Trent gonna be all right?

Oh, I'm sure he's gonna be fine, honey,

but right now we need you to help us

catch the man that hurt him, okay?

Okay.

I asked Judge Winters for a postponement

in Foley's trial.

She set the hearing for tomorrow afternoon in her chambers.

What if she doesn't grant it?

Well then, we're in big trouble.

Trent's my only witness.

If he can't testify, we have no case.

[♪]

That's him!

SALLY: That's the man who hurt Mr. Trent.

A priest.

A man dressed as a priest.

That's how he lured Trent into the alley.

How he got the drop on him.

Are you sure that's the man, Sally?

Yes.

WALKER: Okay, good.

Well, you did a terrific job.

Thanks.

Mr. Walker, are you gonna catch the guy

who hurt Mr. Trent?

Yes, honey, I am.

Good.

Carlos, would you stay

with Donna and Sally for a few days?

You got it, Walker.

Stay with us? Why? Are we in danger?

Not likely.

I just don't want to take any chances.

Thanks.

Okay.

DONNA: Take care.

Come on, honey.

See you later, honey.

- MOLLY: Thank you. - Okay.

[SIGHS]

Gloria, change the collar to a regular shirt.

Sure thing.

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

When she's finished with the schedule,

send it to the media outlets.

Okay, good.

[SNORING]

Morning.

Good morning.

You make a lot of noise

when you sleep.

Sally, that is not nice.

Now, you say you're sorry.

I'm sorry.

Heh. That's okay.

Go get dressed. [GROANS]

Mm. Coffee?

Oh. Please. Heh.

She has this habit of saying whatever's on her mind.

Yeah. It's kind of refreshing, isn't it?

[ROCK MUSIC AND CHATTERING CONTINUES]

What's that?

A thousand bucks.

What's it for?

In about 15 minutes,

two Texas Rangers are gonna come through that door.

I want you and your boys to put a hurt on 'em.

Can you do that?

Oh, we can do that.

But, uh, what's to stop us

from takin' your money,

telling you to get lost,

but we put a hurtin' on you?

Huh.

All right, all right, all right!

Who put you up to this?

I don't know what you're talking about.

- [BONES CRUNCHING] - All right! Okay, look.

It was some guy, he said a couple of Texas Rangers

were on their way down, gave us a thousand bucks

to put a hurtin' on you.

You owe him a refund, buddy.

Does that look like him?

Yeah, it kinda looks like him.

Did he give a name? No.

- [BONES CRUNCHING] - Oh! No, look, look, I swear.

He sat at that table right over there.

[GROANS]

He gave us the money, then he split.

Okay, now you split.

[GROANS]

[♪]

Thank goodness for lousy service.

Let's go see what we got.

ALEX: I assure you, Your Honor,

that this request is not made lightly.

But given the tragic circumstances

of the injuries to Mr. Malloy,

we feel that justice would be best served

if the trial be delayed

until Mr. Malloy is able to testify.

Well, when will that be, Ms. Cahill?

Days? Weeks? Months? Years?

It's a valid question, Ms. Cahill.

When will Mr. Malloy be fit to testify?

I don't know.

Your Honor, while the defense does not in any way wish

to minimize the tragedy of the attack on Mr. Malloy,

I feel compelled to call attention

to the real issue here.

My client is an innocent man.

All he wants to do is put this matter behind him

and go on with his life.

Yet, every day, for the past six months,

he has seen his good name dragged through the mud

by a media that seems intent on destroying him.

Save the speeches for trial, Counselor.

- And make your point. - Yes, Your Honor.

My point is this: The possibility

that this trial could be delayed for years

is completely unacceptable.

Not only does it do irreparable damage

to Mr. Foley's good name and his reputation,

it is in direct conflict with my client's

constitutional rights to a fair and speedy trial

as specified by the Sixth Amendment.

JUDGE: I'm sorry, Ms. Cahill.

While the moral issues here are certainly in question,

the legal issues are not.

The trial will proceed as scheduled.

[♪]

CARLOS: Now, I got to tell you, I'm real impressed

you're raising a special needs child on your own.

- You're done a great job. - Well, thanks. Heh.

But it's just what you do.

It's what any mother would do.

How was Sally's dad?

Well...

I'm-- I'm sorry. It's none of my business.

Oh, no-- No, it's okay.

It's, um...

Yeah, well...

When Sally was born,

I saw her as a gift from God.

Her father didn't see it the same way.

He hung in there for a while, but...

then he...

Well, he doesn't know what he's missing.

FOLEY: I saw your picture in the paper.

That retarded girl identified you.

"Retarded kid," you said,

"what kind of a witness she gonna be," you said.

Are you gonna clean up this mess?

Thank God.

What's wrong?

I couldn't get the trial postponed.

Walker, it's completely hopeless.

All the other witnesses have recanted their testimony.

If Trent doesn't pull through in time to testify,

I have no case.

Morris Foley will walk out of court

a free man.

[SIGHS] What am I gonna do?

Well...

you could quit.

I could quit?

Qu--? What kind of advice

is that, I could quit?

I'm not gonna quit.

Morris Foley killed those people

and I'm gonna prove it.

Well, maybe you should get back to work then.

Yeah, maybe I should get back to work.

Quit? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

[SCOFFS] I cannot believe he would say something like that.

Of all statements, for him to say that to me,

I cannot believe it.

Oh, please, take my purse.

Take whatever you want, just don't hurt me.

That's your choice to make.

May I have the keys to your car?

I'm gonna need some information as well.

[KEYS JINGLING]

Very good.

Okay, Forensics lifted two good prints off the glass.

They got nothing local, but when they went federal,

they found a heavy hitter based out of Chicago

named Donovan Riggs.

He's got at least a half dozen other aliases.

He's wanted for questioning in connection with 23 murders.

Let me see that.

All of his victims were killed by a lethal blow

or a single stab wound to the chest.

Twenty-three of 'em.

Trent was even luckier than we thought.

Yeah, he was.

[BARKING]

What's the matter, boy? What is it?

She's been dead about 12 hours.

Is there a cause of death?

Well, there are a number of superficial wounds,

but the cause of death appeared to be

a stab wound to the chest.

Now, I'll know more after the autopsy,

but from the amount of blood loss,

I'd say aorta was completely severed.

Any idea on the victim?

I thought you knew.

It's Gloria Dorn, the police sketch artist.

Why would somebody kill Gloria?

- [CROWD MURMURING] - MAN: Are you kidding me?

[GAVEL STRIKES]

One more outburst such as that,

and I will clear this courtroom.

On what grounds, Counselor?

On the grounds that their entire case
