Hiya, Tom.

Walker, you old barn owl.

What are you dumping on me this time?

These are the boys that were hijacking those oil trucks

out at Burleson County.

These are the ones, huh?

Yep.

They don't look so bad now.

They never do when they get caught.

Can you hold them over until the FBI picks them up tomorrow?

Be my pleasure.

You'll stay for supper, won't you?

Mavis would never forgive me

if I let you go without sampling her venison stew.

I didn't bring these boys all the way to Dime Box

for nothing, Tom.

Good deal.

Hey, you know where the key is.

Go ahead and lock them up.

I'll go tell Mavis to set an extra place.

Great. Thanks.

Get out of the truck.

( ominous theme playing)

(horn honking)

(girls screaming)

(gunshots)

MAN: There it is, let's go.

MAN 2: Watch the door.

Holy Toledo.

Hey, what is this? There's only two seats.

Suckers.

Okay, Cothron, let's wind.

( tense theme playing)

BOTH: Yee-haw!

Tom.

Tell my wife I...

(growling)

(whinnies)

Whoa, whoa.

(whinnies) Whoa.

Come on.

Now, what in the sam hill was that?

(growling)

Oh, my gosh, could it be?

Son of a gun.

( orchestral music playing)

Ma'am.

You gotta tell me how you got him to come here, Alex.

He stood me up for my birthday. He had no choice.

It's not that I don't like opera, Alex.

I hate it.

Have you ever been to the opera?

No.

Well, then how would you know?

Do you like opera, Trivette?

Yes, jeez.

I should have known.

(cell phone ringing)

You brought your cell phone to the opera?

Alex, I don't work 9 to 5.

Walker.

BEN (on phone): My name's Ben Sheridan. I'm a forest ranger

up on the Cradle Mountain Range.

Utah?

Yeah, that's right.

Remember that flyer you sent out to all stations

about eight years back,

the one about being on the lookout

for a single engine aircraft called Swan Song?

Yeah. What can I do for you?

Well, I don't know why I kept it all these years.

I guess it was your description of the robbery

and how gol dang brazen it was,

but anyway, every time I start to clean out my desk

I threaten to throw it out and then I never do.

Are you telling me you found the Swan Song?

I think maybe I found the wreckage, Ranger.

You still interested?

You bet I am.

Where did it go down?

Alex, what's Swan Song?

Walker always thought they headed for Mexico.

What Mexico?

That would explain why none of the bills showed up.

And no sign of Cothron or Burbage.

Who are Cochrane and Burbage?

They robbed a bank of $3 million

about eight years ago over in Dime Box.

Cothron flew a plane and landed right on Main Street.

Floyd Burbage shot both of his accomplices

and everyone in the bank.

Seven people died that day.

Including one of Walker's friends, Sheriff Cates.

And Walker was there?

Yeah.

One of the accomplices lived long enough

to tell him who it was.

Walker's never forgotten it.

Cates happened to be one of his very good friends.

Okay, if I leave right now,

I can be there by tomorrow afternoon.

I'll see you then.

Walker.

The opera?

I'm sorry, Alex. This is important.

Trivette, I'll be gone for a few days.

You want me to come along?

No. Stay on the Fishman case.

Well, I don't have a case, so I'm going with.

(whispering): Alex, I'm not going on a picnic or to the opera.

I'm gonna be packing it up into the mountains for two days.

Sounds exciting. No.

I'm a great rider. You're out.

What could possibly go wrong?

For the last time, Alex, no. (orchestra playing)

BEN: Well, we got close to the edge,

that horse got skittish, started bucking.

Both me and the horse almost went off.

So you don't think anyone could have survived the crash?

No. Couldn't tell from that high.

The wreck's at the bottom of a 100-foot cliff.

ALEX: Ta-da!

(chuckles)

Do you like it? I better.

I've been waiting here for three hours.

It was only an hour. They have great shopping here.

Besides, the man inside,

he was telling me about the legend of Bigfoot.

That old wives' tale?

He said over a dozen men

have failed to come off this mountain.

It's real dangerous up there

if you don't know what you're doing.

He's right, Alex.

Maybe you should stay here.

Not a chance.

I didn't think so.

BEN: We're gonna spend the afternoon getting outfitted.

We'll leave at first light. Come on, Lew.

I'm hungry. Let's get something to eat.

Sounds great.

Afterwards, let's go dancing.

Heh. No way, Alex.

Oh, come on, Walker.

I said, no way.

(slow country music playing)

Told you.

I got it, Newt. Pour me one too, all right?

Hey, Bobby Sue.

Hey, yourself, Lew. Thanks.

See that fella?

He's a Texas Ranger.

No, really. He came to me and Sheridan for a little help

in tracking some old plane that crashed up in the mountains.

You look nice.

Well, I was hoping to get your attention.

Well, you got my attention and everyone else's in here.

Do I note a hint of jealousy?

Jealous? No way.

(giggles)

LEW: And you know what was in that plane?

Three million dollars.

Three million dollars? Yeah, right.

LEW: I'm serious. It's from an old bank robbery.

The Ranger's here to collect it.

And who knows, maybe there'll be some kind

of reward or something.

Reward?

Yeah, why not?

Leaving in the morning?

LEW: First light.

We'll be gone a couple, three days.

Maybe you could give me a call when you get back.

Maybe I can.

( ominous theme playing)

It's gonna be cold up there.

You're not talking me out of this.

(crackling)

We'll make camp for the night up the other side of that ridge.

Plane wreck's a good half a day's ride from there.

(growling)

Walker, what was that?

Just the wind.

You sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

You wanna go back?

No, I don't wanna go back.

Here you go, Alex.

Thank you.

Walker.

Thanks.

MAN: Hold up, now. There they are.

Easy, boys.

We don't wanna ride up on their heels.

You got that straight. Especially no Texas Ranger.

(scoffs)

No Texas Ranger's gonna scare me out of 3 million bucks.

I'd ride up his butt and jump out his mouth

for that kind of green.

(growling)

What was that?

Just the wind coming out of the Cold Creek Canyon.

What'd you think it was?

Bigfoot fixing to jump out from behind a tree

and chew off your nose?

(chuckles)

Let's go.

We'll follow them right to the money.

(blusters)

All right, this is where we get off.

It's right up ahead here.

Watch that first step. It's a real attention-getter.

Is that the plane you're after, Walker?

WALKER: I can't tell from here.

I'm gonna have to go down and take a look.

BEN: Unload the climbing gear, Lew.

I wanna go with you.

No.

I ran the ropes at my abused women's retreat, remember?

I remember. No.

Come on. Please?

Please?

Alex, can't I win one argument?

No.

Let's go.

Come on, Alex.

I've never gone this far before.

You don't have to come.

Tell you what. Stay there.

I'm gonna go down and safety you.

Okay.

Okay, Alex, come on down.

That's it.

( harmonica theme plays)

Doing good.

You're just about here.

Okay.

(giggles)

That was fun.

( harmonica theme plays)

It is the Swan Song.

(gasps)

Burt Cothron.

How do you know?

Floyd Burbage was a much bigger man.

So where's Burbage?

Some animal probably drug him off.

Oh, Walker.

Well,

the money got burned up in the crash.

So it's over.

Looks that way.

Sheridan, we're coming up.

Is it the Swan Song, Walker?

WALKER: Yeah.

Let's take out Sheridan and Poston.

Then we'll only have the Ranger to deal with.

Now.

Watch it.

Hyah! (whinnying)

Let's go get the money.

Ranger Walker?

Who are you?

You don't know me from Adam,

and that's the way I'm gonna keep it.

Just tie the money to the rope, we'll raise it.

Then we could all walk away.

How about it? We got a deal?

There is no money.

(chuckles)

Yeah, right.

We know there's three mil in that plane,

and nobody could have survived that crash.

Send it up and we'll let you live.

Sure they will.

Here, take this.

If anyone sticks their head over, shoot it.

Where are you going?

I'm gonna sneak around behind them.

You're gonna leave me here alone?

I have no choice.

Just hurry, okay?

Walker?

You might as well do it my way.

It's the only way you'll get out.

I don't see him.

Probably burrowed in.

Got you in his sights right now.

I say we go downstream, come up on them.

Yeah, but he's a Texas Ranger.

It's one man, Tate.

He puts his pants on just like I do,

one leg at a time.

Besides, all he's got is a sidearm.

Would you two shut up?

Walker, we got all day.

We got all week.

Hell, we got all month.

Walker?

He ain't gonna answer.

Somebody's gotta look over the edge,

see what he's doing.

Hey, you look.

LEADER: Walker?

He ain't gonna answer. He's messing with us.

Or maybe he ain't down there.

Maybe he's trying to come around back behind us.

That's... That's a good point.

Tate, go and watch our backs.

You bet.

LEADER: Where the hell you going, Tate?

I'm out of here.

(gunshot) Damn.

(gunshots)

(growling)

What was that?

How the hell should I know?

(growling)

(gunshots)

(gunshot)

(clicks)

Walker! There's something down here! Pull me up!

(growling)

Hurry! Hurry!

Hut, hyah. Hyah.

(growling)

I've never been so scared in my life.

You're okay, Alex. Everything's all right.

(growling)

(growling)

(whinnies)

(horse galloping) (growling)

(growling)

Did you hear that?

Yeah, I heard it.

What was it?

I don't know.

(screaming) (growling)

The horses are gone?

Yeah.

We've got a long walk down.

We're gonna make camp tonight, and hike down tomorrow morning.

Make camp? With what?

(growling)

WALKER: Smells good.

ALEX: What is it?

Well, herbs, worms, and snails.

Worms and snails?

High in protein.

Here, try it.

Are you out of your mind? You try it.

Oh, Alex.

See? Here.

Try. Come on.

Not bad.

(soft growling)

Walker, look.

Oh, look, he's so cute.

Yeah, but where there's a cub, the mother's not far behind.

(soft growling)

Shoo, boy. Go on.

We don't want your mother coming around here.

LEADER: They ain't got no horses, ain't got no supplies,

but they do got $3 million.

And the only way out of here is through this pass.

There's a storm moving in.

Come on.

Let's go get our money, huh?

(both chuckling)

(thunder rumbling)

(growling)

(footsteps)

(roaring)

(Walker grunting)

(roars)

(whimpers)

No.

Walker, please don't die on me.

The bear?

It's okay, it's okay. She's gone.

No, no, no, don't. Don't get up.

I just got the bleeding stopped. Rest.

Rest.

( tense theme playing)

Walker, it's been snowing all night.

What are we gonna do?

The first thing I gotta do

is find some healing herbs.

Some healing herbs. Tell me what to look for.

I'll have to show you.

Let me help you.

Get this one.

Okay.

What does this one do?

It helps prevent infection.

What about that one?

That one will kill me in about a minute.

Right there.

Down here? Yeah.

(growling)

Walker, what was that?

Was that the bear?

That was no bear.

(growling, roaring)

WALKER: Put in the valerian root.

Okay.

Hoo.

That is one wicked smell.

Okay, now put in the bandages.

That should do it.

This looks like it's gonna hurt.

That's okay. Go ahead.

( peaceful theme playing)

You're beautiful.

Yeah, right.

I've been up on this mountain for two days.

I'm really beautiful.

You could spend a year up here

and you'd still be beautiful.

Now you get romantic.

( harmonica theme playing)

Still no sign of them.

Don't worry.

Now that the weather's turned,

they can't stay up there forever.

What if they found a different way off the mountain?

There ain't no other way,

unless they climb over the top and come down the backside,

and why would they wanna do that?

Then where are they?

I don't know.

Maybe holed up down the meadows.

What say we go find out, huh?

Come on.

(screams)

(whimpering)

(roaring)

What is that? What is that?

I don't know.

ALEX: Walker, you don't think those stories could be true?

I mean, could there be a Bigfoot?

No.

I think Burbage is still alive.

Floyd Burbage?

If he survived the plane crash, why didn't he just walk out?

That's what I wanna find out.

Wait here.

Not on your life.

( eerie theme playing)

(coughing)

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Is he?

Yeah, he's dead.

Let's get out of here.

Oh, my God, Walker, that was so awful.

(roars)

(screams)

(cries out)

No!

(growling)

(screams)

(grunts)

(growling)

(screaming)

(Alex screaming)

(Alex screams)

(roars)

(bone crunching)

(roaring)

Are you all right?

Never felt better.

Oh, right.

ALEX: Walker, I will never ask to go along on a trip again.

WALKER: Promise?

ALEX: No.
