Yeah.

Hey, Deion. Walker, how you doing?

Doin' great, man. Isn't this something?

Oh, it's something great. Yes, it is.

Sally, this is Deion Sanders.

He's a football player.

I know.

Everybody knows Deion.

(all chuckle)

Sally, you ready for the big race?

That's good.

Come on over here, let's go get started.

The race is about to start in just a few minutes.

Now, y'all done a real good job to get to the finals.

You should all be proud of yourself.

Now remember, like always,

the most important thing for you to do is to go out there,

have fun, and do your very best.

But also remember, the top three finishers

goes to San Antonio

to represent North Texas in the state championships.

Good luck, and God bless you all.

ALL: Thanks, Deion.

What is it, Sally?

Ranger Walker?

Yes, honey.

I'm scared.

What are you scared of?

That I won't win, and that I won't get to go to San Antonio.

Sally.

Yes, Ranger Walker?

What is our oath?

Let me win,

but if I cannot win, let me be brave...

in the attempt.

That's right, now, can you go out there and be brave?

(giggles)

That's my girl.

(chuckles)

How's Sally? Ah, she's fine.

I am so nervous for her.

Alex, what is our oath?

I know, I know, I know.

I'll be brave.

Get set... Go!

Come on!

WOMAN (on PA): 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.

(Walker chuckles)

Oh, I love you, Ranger Walker.

I love you, too, hon.

(chuckling)

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.

(both laugh)

MILES: 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 percent chance of acquittal.

Eighty-three percent?

Mm-hm.

What's that, like five out of six?

Exactly, sir.

I must say, those are excellent odds.

( ominous theme playing)

One bullet, five empty chambers.

If I pull this trigger, you got an 83 percent 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 takin' matters into my own hands.

Take the day off.

Go play some golf.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Riggs.

I'll make it simple.

FOLEY: 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.

MAN: Excuse me, Mr. Foley,

but I already told you, I can take care of Malloy.

And I work alone.

I can appreciate that.

(grunting)

Because I work alone too.

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?

Nothing, never mind, not a word.

(chuckles)

(laughing)

CARLOS (over radio): This has gotta be the lamest thing I've ever done.

Like anyone's gonna fall for this.

My feet ache, my back is killing me,

and this bra...

I don't even wanna 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.

(chuckles)

A what? What'd you say?

He said you had a feminine quality, Carlos.

(both chuckling)

Ha-ha, very funny.

I'm 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 woman.

She's talking to herself.

Let's do it.

Aah!

Whoa!

(bones cracking) Aah!

(grunting)

Whoa!

It's hard fighting in a dress.

Don't even say it.

Say what? Did I say anything?

No, you didn't say anything.

I didn't say anything.

Hello, ladies.

Well, hi.

Donna, how's Sally doing?

She's great, she's looking forward to San Antonio.

Oh, I'll bet.

Tell her I'm rooting for her? I will.

Alex, this is the equipment for the women's self-defense class.

Where should I put it?

Hm. Why don't you put it in the back

until I can figure out what to do with it?

You got it. ALEX: Thank you.

Trent's teaching a self-defense class?

Yes, some of the women requested it.

It's a great idea.

Yeah.

Here you go.

Tomorrow, 3:00.

Your job interview.

Tomorrow at 3?

Is there a problem?

Sally's got her 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.

TRENT: That's it, Sally, keep it up, keep it up.

You can do it.

Whoo-hoo! All right.

Oh, excellent work, Sally. Thanks.

I'll tell you, you run like that in San Antonio

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

I hope so. Aww.

You should be very proud. I am.

RIGGS: Organized religion is built for people to be afraid of hell.

Spirituality is for people who have been there.

( ominous theme playing)

Mr. Malloy, can I ask you a question?

Well, sure, if you call me Trent.

Okay, Mr. Trent.

(both laugh)

Do you think I'm pretty?

Yes, Sally.

I think you're very pretty.

Am I pretty as Miss 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.

He'll be right back.

( tense theme playing)

Ah, where is she? She was here.

(grunting)

(both grunting)

(yelling)

You're in over your head again.

(grunts)

Help, help!

(indistinct shouting in the distance)

MAN: Over here, come here!

Come on, let's go! Help!

Help.

MAN: Oh, my God.

Call 911.

MAN: 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.

Doc, how is he?

Well, the surgery went about as well as we could've hoped.

The knife punctured a lung and nicked his aorta,

but thank God he's in such great shape,

otherwise he never would've 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... I wish I had better news.

Can we see him?

Yes, just for a minute.

What he needs now is rest, and your prayers.

( somber theme playing)

We gotta get the guy who did this, Walker.

We will.

( dramatic theme playing)

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?

( ominous theme playing)

CARLOS: Hey, buddy.

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

so I'm just gonna talk.

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

Said they've done just about all they can,

and now it's up to you.

So... (clears throat)

You... You fight, buddy.

Don't give up.

You hear me?

Don't you dare give up.

WOMAN (on PA): Dr. Barber to the ER unit, stat.

Dr. Barber to the ER unit, stat.

Damn it!

WALKER: Easy, Carlos.

I just keep thinking, Walker,

that this didn't have to happen,

you know, if Trent only had a gun.

Well, you and I both know the reason why he won't use a gun.

BOY: Let me see it, Trent.

( gunshot)

( groaning)

( ominous theme playing)

Yeah, I know, Walker, but still.

If Trent's not going to carry a gun,

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.

Huh.

Nice punch.

(chuckles)

Tell it to my knuckles.

You'd better cover up that hole, though.

The 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.

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 has gotten to be such a dangerous place.

( ominous theme playing)

GLORIA: Like this?

Is Mr. Trent going to 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 who 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.

( dramatic theme playing)

That's him.

That is 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.

Ranger Walker,

are you gonna catch that 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? Are we in danger?

Not likely.

I just don't want to take any chances.

Thanks.

Okay.

DONNA: Come on, honey.

See you later, honey.

SALLY: Thank you.

Gloria, change the collar to a regular shirt.

Sure thing.

When she's finished I'll send it to the media outlets.

Okay, good.

( dramatic theme playing)

(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.

Ha-ha, it's okay.

Go get dressed.

Mmph. Coffee?

Oh, please.

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

Yeah.

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

(loud rock music playing inside bar)

(women hooting and hollering)

(phone rings)

Trivette.

Raindrop Inn?

Thank you.

Bartender located our guy at a roadhouse in Carrollton.

Let's go check it out.

(loud rock music playing over speakers)

(patrons chattering)

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 taking your money,

telling you to get lost, before we put a hurting on you?

Huh.

(laughing)

Good point.

(grunting)

(bones cracking)

Stand back, or he's gone.

(gasping) That's for makin' me mad.

You don't wanna make me mad.

No, no, no.

(choking): Okay, we'll do it, we'll do it!

Good, good, good.

You all right?

Get away.

Is that right?

He never lies.

(grunting)

(grunts)

(muffled groaning) Hurt?

All right, all right, all right!

Who put you up to this?

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

Aah! All right, okay, look, look.

Some guy said a couple of Texas Rangers were on their way down,

gives a thousand bucks to put a hurting on you.

You owe him a refund, buddy.

That look like him?

Yeah, kinda looks like him.

Did he give a name?

No.

Oh, oh, look, I, look, I swear.

He sat at that table right over there.

Aah.

Gave us the money, then he split.

Okay, now you split.

(groans)

( suspenseful theme playing)

Thank goodness for lousy service.

Let's go see what we've 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.

MILES: Well, when will that be, Miss Cahill?

Days? Weeks?

Months? Years?

Valid question, Miss Cahill.

When will Mr. Malloy be fit to testify?

I don't know.

Your Honor, while the defense

does not 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 the 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.

MILES: 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.

WINTERS: I'm sorry, Miss Cahill.

While the moral issues here are certainly in question,

the legal issues are not.

The trial will proceed as scheduled.

( dramatic theme playing)

CARLOS: I gotta tell you,

I'm real impressed you raising a special-needs child on your own.

You've done a great job.

Thanks, but it's just what you do.

It's what any mother would do.

What happened to Sally's dad?

Oh, well... I'm... I'm sorry.

That'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...

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

( tender theme playing)

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.

You through?

Are you gonna clean up this mess?

(clicks tongue)

( ominous theme playing)

(soft jazz music playing)

(restaurant patrons chattering)

( ominous theme playing)

Bartender? BARTENDER: Yes, sir?

Let's have another for the lady. Right away, sir.

Thank you.

No, thank you.

Buying a beautiful woman a drink

is one of life's singular pleasures.

(chuckles)

Have we met before?

No.

I don't think so.

You just look so familiar.

Yeah? Yeah.

That happens a lot.

BARTENDER: Here you are, ma'am. Thank you.

I don't know why.

I guess I just have one of those familiar faces.

Hm.

Santé.

Bon vivant.

( somber theme playing)

(woman speaking indistinctly over PA)

How's he doing?

The doctor says he's doing fine.

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.

What am I gonna do?

Well, you could quit.

I could quit?

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.

I cannot believe he'd say something like that.

Of all the statements for him to say that to me...

(Gloria laughing)

Yeah, I shot the frog right through the neck

with a bow and arrow.

I was only 13.

Oh.

And this one time we were dynamiting...

I-I've got to call it a night. Ha-ha.

Already? Oh, I've got work in the morning.

May I walk you to your car?

Oh, you don't have to do that.

I know I don't have to,

but I wanna make sure you're safe.

Thank you. Okay.

Here you go.

Thank you. BARTENDER: Thank you, sir.

You ready? Yeah.

RIGGS: And here's your car.

GLORIA: Thank you.

I don't normally do this, and please don't think me forward,

but if you want, I could give you my number.

(gasps)

This is a very sharp knife, Gloria.

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.

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.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(dog barking)

What's the matter, boy?

What is it?

(growling and barking)

What is that, blood?

(dog barking)

SALLY: It's important to stretch really good.

That way you won't pull any muscles.

Okay, coach.

Ahem. You know, Carlos,

you really don't have to do this.

Are you kidding me?

How often do you get a chance to go for a run with an Olympian?

( ominous theme playing)

(engine starts)

(chattering)

MARY: Walker, Trivette.

Mary. TRIVETTE: Hey.

What have we got?

She's been dead about 12 hours.

Do you know the 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 the aorta was completely severed.

Any ID on the victim?

I thought you knew.

It's Gloria Doran, the police sketch artist.

( dramatic theme playing)

Why would somebody kill Gloria?

Sally.

( mellow theme playing)

You really like running, don't you?

Nope, I love running.

(both laugh)

( action theme playing)

(tires screeching)

Okay, thank you.

Sally's mother said they went to White Rock Park.

Hey.

(both laugh)

All right, now it's safe.

There you go.

Trent's your friend.

Mm-hm.

We've been friends since we were about your age.

Do you think he's going to die?

No.

No, Sally, I don't think he's gonna die.

Good.

That makes me very happy.

Me too.

Let's go.

( dramatic theme playing)

Run!

Ah, come here.

(whimpering) Come here.

( action theme playing)

I've been waiting for you.

(grunting)

Aah!

(grunting)

I'm takin' you out.

(hissing)

(grunting)

(groans)

You all right? Yeah.

Come on.

Mr. Walker, I'm so scared.

You're fine now, Sally.

Everything's okay.

(groaning)

Here you are, Miss Williams.

Mr. Denning, are you ready to present your motion?

Your Honor, at this time defense would like to request dismissal

of all charges against my client.

(crowd murmuring)

(gavel banging)

One more outburst such as that and I will clear this courtroom.

On what grounds, counselor?

On the grounds that their entire case is based

on eyewitness testimony and they have no eyewitness.

Miss Cahill?

Your Honor.

Is your witness prepared to testify?

( tense theme playing)

Miss Cahill, is your witness prepared to testify?

(doors open)

( triumphant theme playing)

MAN: That's Trent Malloy.

(crowd murmuring)

(gavel banging)

Request denied, counselor.

Miss Cahill, you may call your witness.

Thank you, Your Honor.

The state calls Trent Malloy to the stand.

( majestic theme playing)

Please raise your right hand.

Do you, Trent Malloy, solemnly swear to tell the truth,

the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
