MAN (on radio): Well, folks,

it's another triple-digit day here in Dallas,

so y'all just keep your air conditioners on,

and here's a little something

to take the heat off those high electricity bills.

MALE SINGER: ♪ Like a cool breeze ♪

♪ Blowin' through the trees ♪

Now, Walker, I don't need to tell you

that the market's been a little volatile lately, right?

That's right, Trivette. You don't have to tell me.

Real estate's coming back,

but I'm beginning to feel like I'm six months behind the curve.

How about a year?

No. I'm serious.

So am I, Trivette, and the answer is no.

You don't even know what my idea is here.

Trivette, I have finally saved a little money

from the last investment you got me into,

so I don't want to hear about it.

(country music playing on the radio)

( suspenseful theme playing)

WOMAN: Hector, what are you doing here?

I got fired, that's what.

Fired?

For stealing. But you didn't.

Of course I didn't,

but Dunbar says if I make noise,

he'll take it to the police.

I can't let him get away with this.

Hector, where are you going?

I'm gonna get my money from Dunbar.

I got fired.

That's okay, baby. We'll make it.

We got no food, no money, no jobs.

I can ask my uncle... No.

I don't take any handouts, Carmen. You know that.

(men speaking indistinctly)

(sighs)

I thought I told you you were fired.

I came for my pay, Mr. Dunbar.

You stole from me, boy.

I never stole anything, and you know it.

Are you calling me a liar?

I'm not calling you nothing, all right?

I just want what you owe me.

Why don't you just go on welfare?

Look, you owe me two weeks' pay.

MAN: Yeah.

(men chuckling)

DUNBAR: Drag his little butt outta here.

Oh!

You tell him when he wakes up,

I took $480 for two weeks' work.

Come on, man. Come on. Dunbar.

MAN: Dunbar?

(tires squeal)

TRIVETTE: Walker...

WALKER: Trivette, no, no, no.

Listen, Walker... No, Trivette. You...

No. (police radio squawks)

WOMAN (on scanner): Attention, all units.

There's been a 211 reported at Stratton Auto Parts,

25th and Central.

Suspect was last seen headed west on Central

in a blue Chevy Malibu with a broken taillight.

We're on Central.

( suspenseful theme playing)

There he is.

(tires screech)

This is Rangers Walker and Trivette.

Subject sighted west on Fraser.

(tires screeching)

(screams)

(brakes screeching)

( suspenseful theme playing)

MAN 1: My, oh, my.

MAN 2: Stay back. Get back.

(people chattering)

Are they...? Are they all right?

Take it easy.

The lady and the baby, are they all right?

Yeah. They're fine.

I'll get a paramedic.

Okay. Just take it easy. You'll be okay.

Penny for your thoughts.

Hi. Hi.

(sighs)

I was just thinking about

when I was lying in that hospital bed,

that I need to do something more with my life.

Like what?

Like give something back.

All I do is put people behind bars.

What about all the victims?

What about all the people that really need help

and they have no way of getting it?

Hm.

What is it you wanna do?

I want to open up

a nonprofit center for the needy,

with legal aid, daycare, job placement.

Hm.

Do you plan on quitting the D.A.'s office?

No. I mean, I don't wanna quit.

I just wanna do more.

Well, I think if you wanna do more,

then you should do more.

(chuckles)

I knew I'd have your support.

(intercom buzzes)

WOMAN (on intercom): Miss Cahill,

Carlos Sandoval is here to see you.

Uh, send him in.

We're in the office. Stop it.

(door opens)

Hi, Walker. WALKER: Hey, Carlos.

Alex, I'm sorry to bother you, but I need a favor.

What is it?

Can you check on a Hector Lopez for me?

He was picked up this morning.

Yeah, I picked him up. Why are you interested?

He's my niece's husband. I just talked to him.

He says he worked at Stratton Auto Parts

for two weeks and...

when it came time to get paid,

the boss accused him of stealing.

Well, did he press charges?

No. See, this boss of his accuses him of stealing

and then says that if he raises a ruckus about it,

that he'll go to the cops.

So, Hector winds up going back down there,

knocking the guy out

and taking what he says he was owed.

That's when you arrested him.

Hm.

Alex, will you check with the prosecuting attorney?

Find out what he plans on doing.

No problem. I'll see what I can find out.

Excuse me.

(sighs)

He's a good kid, Walker.

You know, I mean, he was too young

when he married my niece, but he's a hard worker.

He won't go on welfare. He won't take food stamps.

Won't even take help from me.

Let's go talk to your niece.

CARMEN: I know you were against the marriage from the beginning.

You just don't like him.

No. You two were just so young.

Well, maybe we were, Carlos, but I love him so much,

and he's never been in trouble a day in his life,

although he could've been, easy.

How's that?

Just on account of where he came from.

No mother or father. At least, no one around.

She's right, Walker. I mean, the kid has a lot of pride

and he's tried hard to make a better life for his family.

You see, Hector has this idea of the way things should be,

of how he's gonna give our baby

all the things he never had.

I mean, not just money, but time, love and attention.

Whatever Hector did, he didn't do it for himself,

he did it for us, he did it for our family.

(police sirens blare distantly)

(baby crying)

Shh.

( majestic theme playing)

Walker, Carlos.

I talked to the D.A. that's handling Hector's case.

He called it a slam dunk

for armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon.

What deadly weapon?

He said he had a gun.

I didn't find a gun in the car.

Well, Hector's boss swears he had a gun,

and has two witnesses to back him up,

so unless you come up with something solid

on Hector's behalf,

he could be looking at hard time.

Thanks, Alex.

Sure.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(cell door buzzes open) (men chattering indistinctly)

What do you want?

I wanna hear your side of the story.

I told Carlos.

I wanna hear it from you.

(sighs)

The truth? Someone like me takes money from a guy like Dunbar,

the truth is whatever the man says it is.

Hector, why don't you just tell Walker what happened?

(sighs)

My buddies told me not to mess with Dunbar.

They said he'd burn me just like he did the others.

Burn you? How?

By getting me to work, then come payday,

fire me for stealing.

That's his game.

I never stole anything in my life.

(scoffs): Before this, anyway.

Did you go there with the intention of robbing him?

No. Carlos, I swear it.

I went there to ask for my money,

the money he owed me, and I was cool about it.

What does he do? Knocks me down.

He hit you? Yeah, Mr. Heavyweight

sucker punched me,

so I clocked him with the bottle.

He crashed into the counter, went out like a light.

I took exactly what he owed me and booked.

He said you had a gun.

What? No gun, Carlos. I don't mess with guns.

You know Carmen wouldn't let me have a gun even if I wanted one.

Dunbar lied about that just like he lies about everything.

Thanks, Hector.

( dramatic theme playing)

JUDGE: And although you have no prior criminal record, Mr. Lopez,

I am forced by the letter of the law.

I hereby sentence you

to one year in Denton minimum-security prison,

three years' probation

and 200 hours of community service.

The court is adjourned.

(gavel bangs)

(sobbing)

(gavel bangs)

( dramatic theme playing)

(gavel bangs)

Hector!

(gavel bangs)

Don't cry, baby. Don't cry. Hector!

(sobbing)

( tense theme playing)

MAN 1: Okay, let's go, boys.

Better get along.

All right, gentlemen, let's do it.

MAN 2: Welcome to Denton Prison, gentlemen. Move inside.

MAN 3: All right, you lead them in.

MAN 4: Wilson, aggravated assault, three years.

Delgado, grand theft auto, two years.

Ryan, embezzling, four years.

Lopez, armed robbery, one year?

Ha. Judge Woodworth must be getting soft in his old age.

You're lucky, Hector.

(chuckles)

All right, girls, listen up,

my name is Kelton

and I'm gonna tell you something right now.

I don't give a damn how you do your time.

If you screw up,

you'll wish you'd never met me.

( tense theme playing)

DUNBAR: I said you're fired.

You're pretty good at sucker punching people,

aren't you, Dunbar?

Hey, don't mess with me, buster.

I was a pro boxer.

Is that a fact?

Yeah.

Well, I tell you what.

I'll let you throw the first punch.

(chuckles)

(grunting)

And that was two punches, Dunbar.

You must have been a lousy fighter.

I'm gonna smash your face.

I'm gonna break your head.

I'm gonna hit you so hard,

your children are gonna be born with a headache.

It's too bad you can't fight as well as you can talk.

( mysterious theme playing)

(cell door buzzes)

(all chattering indistinctly)

So how's that wife and kid of yours?

HECTOR: They're hanging in there.

Oh, Eddie, I love them so much.

Oh. Ho-ho.

Aw, that's... Listen, um,

that Texas Ranger you were telling me about,

uh, what's his name?

Walker. Walker, yeah.

Is he still pushing to get you out of here?

Yeah. He turned out to be a really good friend.

Good. You see, what I was thinking was, uh,

after you're out, maybe you could tell him

about some of the stuff

that Kelton and the other guards are pulling.

You know, the drugs, the numbers, the beatings.

Today I saw Kelton... Look, Eddie...

Eddie, I told you, I don't wanna know about

any of that stuff, all right?

But it's not right, man.

Somebody's gotta stop Kelton.

It doesn't concern me, okay?

I'm gonna be out of here real soon,

and I don't want Kelton or that stuff

to get in the way of that.

I'm sorry, Eddie. I'm sorry, all right?

( tense theme playing)

You guys wanted to see me?

Yeah. We busted Dunbar today.

His two witnesses changed their story real fast.

That's great.

TRIVETTE: And Hector's being released.

Today?

Mm-hm.

And we thought you'd like to tell Carmen.

(sighs)

Thanks, guys. Thanks a lot.

Hey, man, you got the money?

Looks like he likes the drugs a lot.

We got this guy hooked.

( tense theme playing)

It was a good week.

More like these, we'll retire sooner than later.

Hey, keep up the good work, huh?

Thanks, Paul.

(cell door buzzes)

Oh, hey... Hey. I'm sorry, boss. I'm sorry.

Watch it, will you?

Pay attention. You'll get out of here quicker.

(door buzzes)

( mysterious theme playing)

Got your book, Kelton.

Walker, I'm so excited. It's my dream coming true.

(sighs)

Thank you for helping me out with the down payment.

Glad to help out.

Now I just gotta come up with a name for it.

Well, whatever you come up with, I'm sure it will be great.

You know, I just wanna help our people.

Help our people.

Help our people.

H-O-P.

How about Help Our People Excel, H-O-P-E, "HOPE"?

That's brilliant. Oh!

Mwah.

You are so smart.

I have my moments.

Yes, you do have your moments, don't you?

(chuckles)

(men chattering)

( ominous theme playing)

Hey, Hector.

There you are.

I was worried I wouldn't get a chance to say good-bye.

Yeah, you're heading out, huh?

In about an hour. Hey, great.

Hey, listen, I got something for you,

sort of a going-away present.

Oh, yeah? What's that?

It's Kelton's book.

It's the one that he keeps track of all of his drug deals in.

I... I don't want any part of that.

I know. That's what makes it so perfect.

You're getting out of here. Kelton can't touch you.

But if you go and give this to your... Your Ranger friend,

he can fry Kelton once and for all.

Make it a hell of a lot better for...

For us stiffs who've still got time to do.

Here. Come on, take it.

I don't know, Eddie. I don't know, all right?

Hey, listen, kid, I never pushed you before,

because I didn't wanna risk

getting you on Kelton's bad side,

and I... I didn't want to blow your chances for an early out,

but now you are getting out.

No one needs to know where this came from.

Just get it to the right people, that's all.

Please, take it.

Please. Come on, take it, please.

(sighs)

Good boy.

You're a good lad, Hector.

Who knows?

I might even get a chance to see you on the outside.

Good luck.

Come here, Eddie. I wanna talk to you.

Eddie, where's my book?

What book? Where's my book?

Yeah? I don't know.

(speaks indistinctly)

(grunts)

Where is it, Eddie?

(inaudible)

( dramatic theme playing)

Get out of the way!

Move it!

Hey!

Hey, hold up there.

(tires screech)

(alarm buzzing)

Problem at the west gate.

We got an escapee in a bakery truck.

Repeat, escapee in a bakery truck.

(all breathing heavily)

Bastard.

( dramatic theme playing)

MAN: Let's go. Move it, men.

(men chattering)

(whinnies)

(dog barking)

All right, you better stay here till I find out what's going on.

MAN: Careful.

Excuse me, do you know where I can find the warden?

Well, you found him. Who are you?

Uh, Detective Sandoval, D.P.D.

I was just down at the prison to pick up my nephew

and they wouldn't give me any information.

They just told me to come down here and talk to you.

What's your nephew's name?

Lopez. Hector Lopez.

Yeah, well, I hate to tell you this, detective,

but Lopez killed a man this morning in the yard.

Killed a man? What, Hector?

And then he escaped.

Commandeered that truck and ran the gates.

We'll catch him, though.

My chief guard Kelton's never had one get away.

This doesn't make any sense. He was getting out today.

I don't know what to tell you, detective. He's gone.

(dog barking)

( ominous theme playing)

Let me go with them, warden.

He'll listen to me.

All right, son.

Thanks.

What is it?

They're saying Hector escaped.

No. Why?

I don't know why. Now, I'm gonna find out.

Call Walker. Tell him what happened.

(siren wailing)

( bluesy action theme playing)

One word for you, Walker.

(grunts)

What?

Emus.

Emu?

(grunting)

Son of a...

Emu?

Yeah. Emu ranches.

Big birds, really tasty big birds,

low in fat, meat of the future.

Are you talking as an investment?

Yeah. No.

No.

(cell phone rings)

Why? No.

Yeah. Trivette.

Wait. Yeah, he's right here.

Carmen Lopez. There's a problem.

Yeah, Carmen.

When?

Okay, I'll be right there.

Can you finish up? Yeah.

Absolutely.

Uh... Walker, hey.

No, Trivette.

Man... ( upbeat theme playing)

HECTOR: I love you both so much.

Let's go. Let's go. You got it? You got it?

All right, let's go. They got his scent, captain.

KELTON: Get them on that trail.

Go, go, go.

MAN: More over here.

BOTH: Come on.

Let's go.

(dogs barking)

(whinnies)

Hey, hey. (horses whinny)

Warden?

Just taking two men with you?

Hell, that's all I need to catch a punk like Lopez.

Well, you got a third now. This is Detective Sandoval.

He'll be riding with you.

(sighs)

I don't want him riding with me, warden.

Look, Kelton, I'm in charge here,

and I say he's riding with you.

He knows Lopez. Maybe he can talk him in.

( dramatic theme playing)

Get him a horse.

(horse whinnies)

You can ride a horse, can't you?

(crying) Look how big you are.

(dogs barking)

Nose down, now. Track him. Track him, now.

(dogs barking)

Nose down. Track him.

(dogs barking)

KELTON: What the hell you doing here, anyway?

I mean, what's this guy to you?

That's my business.

Yeah, well, catching escaped prisoners is mine.

(dogs barking)

Captain, there he is.

( tense theme playing)

Hey, hey, hey, put your guns away!

Put it down. There will be no shooting here.

What are you talking about?

I'm here to bring that prisoner back alive,

and that's what we're gonna do.

All right. Go talk to him.

Put it down. Come on.

CARLOS: Hyah.

(horse whinnies)

Hector! Hector, it's me, Carlos!

Captain, what are you doing?

That kid's gonna spill his guts.

You worry too much.

( ominous theme playing)

(whinnies)

(grunts)

Slow down. Whoa.

(whinnies)

Hector!

Hector, it's me, Carlos! Hector!

They're gonna kill me.

They're gonna kill me. Hector, stop it.

No one's gonna kill you!

Kelton is. I saw him stab Eddie.

They were coming after me. That's why I ran.

(gunshots)

HECTOR: Oh, my God. Carlos!

Carlos. Carlos!

( suspenseful theme playing)

Carlos. Carlos.

Carlos? (screams)

(gunshot) Hector...

(groans) HECTOR: Oh, thank God.

Move!

(gunshot)

(dogs barking)

(gunshots, dogs barking)

GUARD: I can't believe it.

I hit him.

You seen it, right?

Yeah.

(dogs barking)

Dogs.

Find them.

Come on, nose down, nose down.

Go. Let's go. Let's go.

(horses whinny)

(dogs barking)

(whinnies)

(panting)

Why did Kelton kill Eddie?

(breathing heavily)

Because of this.

Eddie gave it to me.

Kelton, Jackson and Peters

are running all sorts of drug deals through the prisons.

Eddie says it proves it. They killed him for it.

(dogs barking distantly)

Oh, my God.

(horse whinnies)

MAN: No word yet.

Ranger Walker, I'm so scared.

They should've been back by now.

WARDEN: Hello, Walker.

Hello, Jim. What's going on?

I don't know. I can't even raise

my chief guard, Kelton, on the radio.

Where'd they go?

White Rock Mesa.

I know a back way in. Can I get a horse?

You got it.

( tense theme playing)

(dogs barking)

Hey, watch it.

(horses whinny)

Hey, come on.

Come on. Get him, boy.

Come on. Take us to them.

(dogs barking)

( suspenseful theme playing)

(dogs barking)

Over here.

MAN: Get him, boy.

(dogs barking)

(panting)

I don't hear them anymore.

They're still coming, trust me.

MAN: They left the stream here, captain.

CARLOS: You know, Hector, uh,

I know I've been, uh, kind of hard on you

these past couple of years and...

Maybe I deserved it.

Yeah, but, uh, I just wanted you to know

that I'm really proud of you

for trying to do the right thing.

Thanks, Carlos. Thanks a lot.

( uplifting theme playing)

(dogs barking distantly)

Oh, man, you were right. They're still coming.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(horse whinnies)

Find them. Come on.

( mysterious theme playing)

(wolf whimpers, pants)

(panting)

You okay?

Now I've seen everything.

(panting)

Look, am I glad to see you.

What's going on, Carlos?

Some of the guards are running a drug ring in the prison.

They killed an inmate who had the proof

and pinned it on Hector.

What proof?

Well, it's right here.

Are they the ones chasing you?

Yep.

(dogs barking)

( suspenseful theme playing)

Where are you going?

WALKER: Be right back.

You all right?

Did you see that?

Yeah.

(sighs)

(dogs barking distantly)

What is that?

Something to stop the dogs.

Go get them. Hey.

(dogs barking)

Hey, I hear them.

They're getting pretty close. Yeah.

Okay, let's get out of here.

All right. Right.

(men speaking indistinctly)

(dogs yap)

Nose down, nose down.

Hey.

Find him, Zeke. Come on.

(dogs barking)

(sneezing)

(whinnies)

(both whining, sneezing)

What the hell is going on, Jones?

(both sneezing)

I don't know, captain.

(dogs whining, sneezing)

(sneezes)

What is it?

(groans)

Some kind of pollen or something.

(sneezes)

Strong. Like sneezing powder.

Can they track? JONES: No way.

(sneezes)

I gotta get them out of here.

JONES: Come on.

Come with me.

(Jones sneezes)

(sneezes) (whines)

JACKSON: What are we gonna do now, captain?

We don't need them.

They're close. I can feel it.

( suspenseful theme playing)

Okay, Hector, get on the horse and get out of here.

What are you guys gonna do?

Take care of these guys.

Go on. Get out of here.

Come on. (horse whinnies)

What happened?

Oh, I got lucky.

Here. Take mine.

What are you gonna use?

No, never mind.

( tranquil theme playing)

Thanks.

I owed you one.

(exhales)

( triumphant theme playing)

(sighs)

Thanks.

You bet.

Well, you don't take orders very well, do you, Hector?

(chuckles): No.

Thank God he doesn't.

Look, all I know is, I'm hungry.

CARLOS (chuckles): I hear you.

(country music playing over jukebox)

Due to the circumstances,

the judge has dropped all the charges, Hector.

We can't thank you enough for all your help

and just believing in me.

Oh, it was my pleasure.

(giggles)

To celebrate Hector's release,

we've got you something real special,

partner. All right.

Emu burgers.

Emu burgers? Yeah. Yeah, these are lean,

tasty, healthy, good for you.

Y'all need to think about investing.

This is the meat of the future, folks.

What's an emu? (scoffs)

It's a big bird, Carlos. A big bird.

Bird burgers.

My partner and I, here,

we just invested quite a little bit of money in it,

and, uh, we'd like to think,

well, we're getting in on the ground floor.

Ground floor?

The emu market peaked a couple of years ago.

Where have you guys been?

Are you sure?

Dadgum it!

Swore I'd never listen to you again.
