(cocks gun)

(guns cock)

Aah.

Hey, Kelvy.

No. Come on, Jackson.

Man, you know I'm good for it.

I always come through.

Just one more day, man, please.

Kelvy, your days are over.

No! Ugh!

( action theme playing)

They haven't missed yet.

They're gonna have an incredible score.

Yeah, they are.

C.D.: Listen, Jimmy.

All you've got to remember out there

is focus and concentration.

Focus and concentration. That's it. And look,

just because this German team has never been beat,

don't worry about that. You can take 'em.

Well, thanks for the vote of confidence.

Yeah, I-I'm just a little nervous for you,

Jimmy, that's all. I'm nervous for me.

Most important here, C.D., is the money being raised

for the Care and Share Ministries.

Yeah, there's a lot of good folks gonna be helped

by the money we're raising.

Isn't that right, son?

C.D.: I'm impressed with the international law force

community hopping in like they did.

Oh, it sure is, C.D. It sure is.

You know, when good people decide to make a difference,

there's just nothing can stand in their way.

MAN (on PA): And with a combined reaction time

of one minute and 8.63 seconds,

the team from Germany moves solidly into first place.

Next up, Texas Rangers Cordell Walker and James Trivette.

Nice shooting.

(German Accent): We hear you are the best in America.

(German accent): Yes, but we are the best in the world.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Well, you won't be after this event, pal.

Good luck, Rangers.

You are going to need more than luck, my friend.

You... (chuckles)

You will need a miracle.

You know, that Hans is starting to tick me off.

Trivette, have you ever thought

that maybe he's trying to make you mad,

so you won't focus on this event?

You know, you're right.

And that makes me madder.

Trivette.

All right, I'm cool.

You may begin when ready, gentlemen.

( rock action theme playing)

(applause, cheering)

If I wasn't seeing it, I wouldn't believe it.

Folks, this has never happened before.

With a perfect round and an identical reaction time

of one minute, 8.63 seconds,

the Texas Rangers and the German State Troopers

are dead even after the first event.

How do you say, "miracles never cease?"

You see that?

It's not over yet, Ranger.

You were terrific.

Ooh.

Concentration and focus, that's what did it for you.

Jimmy, you got 'em on the go. Thank you.

C.D.: I'm telling you, when you go back in now,

don't worry, you'll take 'em. Yes, sir.

Thank you. Yeah, later.

Trivette.

All right, we're on it.

Walker, we've got a homicide over at Forestwood Park.

The uniform says it look like a hit.

See you.

( dramatic theme playing)

(indistinct speech)

Couple of joggers found the body, called it in.

Did they see anyone?

No ID.

Let's take a look at the body.

Hey, Jim.

Make a cast of this print, will you?

( ominous theme playing)

I know this guy.

Who is he?

Darren Kelvy.

We used to play together on the Cowboys.

( dramatic theme playing)

Jimmy, you know how happy he was playing football.

Thanks, Mom.

After he got injured, there were some tough times.

I remember.

Judy, I'm sorry... No.

You have nothing to be sorry about.

Oh, Jimmy, you saved Darren's life.

I didn't save his life.

After you got injured,

when you pulled yourself back together,

you joined the police force,

Darren realized he'd spent enough time

feeling sorry for himself,

and he got a job downtown.

Things were really good... but then, I...

I don't know, maybe like six months ago,

h-he became... (sighs)

different.

In what way?

Well, on the weekends,

you know, Darren would still watch football.

He never stopped loving that game.

But then one weekend,

I heard him rooting against the Cowboys.

His team.

I couldn't believe it.

Mrs. Kelvy, do you know if your husband...

bet on the game?

Not that I'm aware of.

Is there anybody Darren would call after the games?

No.

No one, I...

I don't know, you know. I-I can't think right now.

It's okay, it's all right.

If anybody comes to mind,

you give us a call, all right?

I will.

TRIVETTE: And if there's anything you need...

Thank you, Jimmy.

(door closes)

( uplifting theme playing)

(people cheering)

MAN (on PA): And next up will be our final two teams

and co-leaders after the first day of competition:

the German State Troopers and the Texas Rangers.

Good luck, Cosmo.

Thank you, Walker. And may the best team win.

BOTH: Don't worry, we will.

You must forgive my young partner.

Sometimes he can be a little emotional.

I know exactly what you mean.

Walker, I'm gonna tear... Trivette.

Concentrate on the event.

I am. I am.

(crowd cheering, clapping)

MAN: And... on your mark.

Get set.

MAN: And the German State Troopers

cross the line in a new course record,

smashing the old course record by almost a full second.

Good run.

And at the halfway point in the competition,

the German team narrowly leads our own Texas rangers.

So now you know... who the best team is.

It's not over till the fat lady sings, pal.

Fat lady.

Who is this fat lady?

Congratulation, Cosmo. Thank you, Walker.

I must tell you, we just broke our own team record

because of you and your partner.

No team has ever pushed us this hard.

Ha. That's what competition's all about.

Yeah. Ha, ha.

Hoo-hoo!

Ooh.

You was robbed, Cordell.

No, they just had a better run than we did, C.D.

(cell phone ringing) Seems like it's some

pretty strong competition between our young trooper

from Germany and Ranger Trivette.

Yeah, they don't like to lose, that's for sure.

ALEX: Oh, and you do?

I'm talking about them, Alex.

(laughs)

Sure, Jackson.

Yeah.

I understand, uh... I'll leave now.

(grunts)

Let's go.

Have a seat.

(door closes)

You see this?

So, how much do you owe me?

Twenty-five thousand.

He owed me 18.

Look, I only need a few more days, all right?

I'm gonna work something out.

I will. I'm... I know you will.

But you don't have to worry about working anything out,

'cause I got it worked out for you.

What are you talking about?

Well, I, uh...

Your daddy's running some kind of a revival

or something this weekend, isn't he?

Care and Share Crusade.

Yeah, that's it.

I was reading all about it in the paper.

About how all these folks show up with fistfuls

of cold, hard cash...

looking to buy a miracle.

And about how your daddy, the reverend,

has all these volunteers dressed up like, uh...

What did that article say they was dressed up like, Jackson?

Like angels.

Yeah, that's right.

Angels.

Power angels, I think they call them.

Now this article said that, uh...

an event like this could raise

hundreds of thousands of dollars.

That money is for the poor and the needy.

No. That money is for me,

to pay off what you owe me.

See, you're gonna make sure a couple of my boys

get fitted out with angel's wings,

and then you're gonna get 'em into the money

and out of the building.

I can't do that.

Sure you can.

Otherwise, your daddy's not gonna be praying to God anymore.

He's gonna be talking to him in person.

(sighs)

(organ music playing)

REVEREND: Welcome, brothers and sisters.

I sure want to thank you all for volunteering to do God's work.

You know, with the cash we collect this weekend,

we gonna be able to help out a whole lot of good folks.

Their lives are gonna be much better thanks to you.

Welcome, brothers.

Praise the lord.

Amen, brother.

( dramatic theme playing)

(organ music playing)

REVEREND: Come on, I want to show you all something.

(beeping)

This is what we call the engine room.

C.D.: Good night.

Because it's the motor that keeps

the crusade moving forward.

It's quiet now,

but come this weekend, these poor souls in here

are gonna be working their fingers to the bone

trying to keep up with all the donations coming in.

Now, uh, Charlie, we all set up?

Sure are, Reverend Powers.

POWERS: Yes, sir, he and his team,

they sort it all out, they add it up and

make sure it gets to its proper destination.

All the money that comes in is strictly accounted for.

Eighty percent of it

goes right back to the community it came from.

Care, then share.

That's the name, and that's the game.

POWERS: Now, you hear that, huh?

I'll tell you, I'm so proud of him.

(all laughing)

Come on, let me show you all some more.

All right. Let's head south.

Okay.

Hey, Preston.

( ominous theme playing)

Are you okay, son?

Never better, C.D.

Never better.

MAN (over PA): Our second-to-the-last competitor,

representing the German State Troopers,

will be Cosmo Von Dusenberg.

Can you kick that high?

I don't know.

I've never had to kick anyone that tall.

(grunting)

(applause) WOMAN: Wow.

WOMAN: Wow.

(crowd murmuring)

Aaah.

(audience moans)

(applause)

WOMAN: That's high.

Damn.

MAN: With a score of 100 out of a possible 150 points,

the German Team moves into first place

with one competitor remaining:

Texas Ranger Cordell Walker.

WOMAN 2: Come on!

(applause, cheering)

( dramatic theme playing)

WOMAN 3: Come on. Let's go.

(grunting)

(grunting)

(applause)

MAN: And with a perfect score of 150 points,

the Texas Rangers have pulled even

with the reigning champions.

It looks like this baby's

gonna go right down to the wire.

Ha. You did it. Yeah.

I'm a little surprised myself.

JUDY: Jimmy.

TRIVETTE: Hi, Judy.

Ranger Walker.

Hi, Judy.

How you doing?

Uh, I'm doing okay. All right.

Uh, there's something I need to show you.

Um...

Darren was going to some place called Weasel's Sports Bar.

He... He didn't mention it, so...

I don't know if it's important or not.

Well, we'll check it out, Judy. Thanks.

Thank you.

Let me walk you out. Okay.

(loud rock music playing)

Hey, hold it, guys! Hold it!

Hey, wait a minute, guys!

You bust up my place again,

you're gonna put me out of business!

You heard him, guys. Back off.

Back off or go to jail. Make your choice.

How 'bout neither?

(arm cracks)

(grunting)

(glass breaking)

All right, get out of here.

Let's go.

Get out of here.

(laughing): Thank you, Rangers.

Insurance is not gonna pay for any more

damages on this place. I know...

It don't look like much, but, hey, I... I love it.

I'm sorry, wh-what can I do for you?

Sir, we got word that

a man named Darren Kelvy spent some time here.

Kelvy, yeah, nice guy.

Used to be a player.

Played for the 'Boys.

That's where... You're "Go Long" Trivette.

Ha. I knew it.

We were told that he was placing bets here.

Oh, ahem, w-wait a minute, fellas.

I only got one set of eyes and ears in here,

and I try to keep a lid on the gambling. I do.

I mean, I'm doin' the best I can, it's...

Sir, we're not trying to jam you.

No, sir, we're not.

We were just wondering if you knew

who he was placing the bets with.

Oh, well, he used to sit in a back booth back there

with a guy named Jackson.

Do you know his first name?

Yeah, Robert. Robert Jackson.

You know where we can find him?

Yeah, he's a bodybuilder.

Works out down at the Fourth Street Gym.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

"Go Long" Trivette.

That's "Go Long" Trivette, everybody, in my bar.

Hi, Miss Cahill.

Hi.

Hi.

What's this?

Robert Jackson's criminal history.

Whew. Heavy jacket.

ALEX: Well, it dates back to the early '80's.

Everything from petty theft, numbers, racketeering,

extortion, assault...

But then he seemed to have turned it around.

Nothing in the past five years.

So he went off parole six months ago.

Where was he working when he was on parole?

McMartin Lumber Company.

But that information is six months old.

Let's go check out that gym where he works out.

( dramatic theme playing)

Robert Jackson, is he here?

Right there. Okay.

TRIVETTE: Robert Jackson?

Yeah.

We'd like to ask you some questions.

Look, man, I'm off parole.

I don't got to say nothing to you guys.

You may be off parole, but you still need to talk to us.

What do you want?

We're investigating the murder of Darren Kelvy.

What does that got to do with me?

From what we've been told, it's got a lot to do with you.

Oh, yeah?

What have you been told?

We've been told that he's been placing bets with you.

We've also been told he got himself heavily in debt.

And we've been told what happens to guys

who don't pay their debts to you.

Come on.

Let me get my bag.

(grunting)

Walker!

Ugh.

( dramatic theme playing)

( dramatic theme playing)

OFFICER: All right, let's go.

OFFICER: Come on, now.

.44 Mag, hollow points.

Same bullets that killed Darren Kelvy.

What you got there?

Could be Jackson's bettors.

So story we gave him was more fact than fiction.

Yeah, it looks that way.

Jeez.

A lot of 'em.

Kelvy's name... Been crossed out.

P. Powers. You think that's Preston?

Well, that's something we'll have to ask him.

Think Jackson was the main man?

Nah. I don't think he had the brains

to be the main man.

Who did Alex say Jackson worked for when he was on parole?

Something lumber.

McMartin.

Yeah, yeah.

Let's go over there.

Big-time.

But the way I'm thinkin', Lord, is...

To stop this thing, Lord, before I do any harm to the ministry.

It ain't gonna happen, Preston.

Not if you want to keep your daddy alive.

But they'll know it was me,

and the stain will spread back to my father.

McMARTIN: Jackson was worthless.

Nothing but trouble.

How so?

Well... I fired him for running numbers on the job.

When was that?

About six months ago.

Now, you ask around.

Earl McMartin believes in givi" a man a second chance.

But Jackson's the kind of guy that bites the hand.

You know what I mean?

Hmm.

Expecting someone?

Hm? Oh, no. No. We're all shut down today.

So what are you still doing here?

Paperwork.

It's never-ending.

And you haven't seen Jackson in the last six months?

That's right.

Why do you ask?

Because he was killed today while resisting arrest.

(gasps, chuckles)

I can't say I'm all broke up with the news,

but, uh, well, you know, it's...

It's too bad and all that.

Yeah.

Thanks for your time.

you're dead.

So are the guards.

What's our next move?

Preston Powers.

(cell phone ringing)

Hey, Ranger-1.

Yeah, Jimmy, this is C.D.

Yeah, what's up, big dog?

We've had a robbery here at the crusade.

Robbery at the crusade.

We'll be there in two minutes.

( suspenseful theme playing)

Okay, you got what you came for, now go.

May God have mercy on your souls.

We're talking armed robbery,

resisting arrest, and assaulting a police officer.

Don't forget first-degree murder.

Murder?

I didn't shoot anyone. That was Wiley.

You were his accomplice.

That makes you just as guilty.

They're doing lethal injection now, you know?

Lethal injection?

Yeah, but you got one chance.

That's right. Tell us who your boss is.

McMartin. Earl McMartin.

He's the one who's behind this whole thing.

Let's go. Go.

Hey, you know, I like this driving stuff.

Think I could do it more often?

The keys, Trivette.

So that's... That's, like, a no?

Mm-hm. That's a no.

Watch out.

I'm gonna flank him.

Martin!

Don't make it worse than it is.

Throw your weapon out and come out with your hands up.

You want me? Come and get me.

Hands up. I'm up, I'm up.

God works in mysterious ways, Preston.

Yes, he does.

He came to me...

when I was lying in the parking lot.

I was ready to let go, but he came to me.

He said it wasn't my time.

My work here wasn't finished.

(mouths): All right.

I'm sorry for the trouble I caused.

I hope you can forgive me.

C.D.: Sounds to me like the big man's already forgiven you.

If he can forgive you, we can forgive you.

I love you, Preston.

ANNOUNCER: Going into the final bout

of the final event of the competition,

the German Troopers and the Texas Rangers

are dead even. Remember, concentration

and focus.

Focus and concentration.

Go get 'em, tiger.

Uh, let me ask you something, Cordell.

That Hans is a pretty big fella.

You think Jimmy has a chance?

Yeah, Jimmy's an excellent boxer.

He's got a good chance.

Well, remind him of focus and concentration.

You got it, C.D. Thank you.

Whether we win or lose today,

I just wanted to let you know I...

I really enjoyed myself here in Dallas.

Well, it was great having you here, Cosmo.

Finally.

It all comes down to you and me.

Mm-hm. I can't wait.

What is that?

Oh, my gosh. The fat lady is definitely warming up.

Who is this fat lady?

Ok, now. Be smart.

You're one tough German.

Judges, may we have the scores, please?

Well, what do you got?

One question. Yeah.

Who is the fat lady?

Oh, Hans... It's just an expression.

It means, it ain't over 'til it's over.

(chuckles)

If this is case...

I think I hear your fat lady singing...

in my head.

I wonder if she's singing the same song I hear.

(both chuckle)

(speaks indistinctly)

That's it, boys, it's over.

We got a draw.

(applause, cheering)

POWERS: Let me introduce you to the co-champions

of this year's International Peacemaker Games:

Texas Rangers Walker and Trivette.

And German Troopers Hans and Cosmo.

Let's give it up.

Yeah.

POWERS: All right, Bobby. Take it away.

(funky gospel music playing)

MAN: Yeah, Walker.

Congratulations. Thanks, C.D.

(cell phone ringing) Congratulations.

Trivette.

We'll be right there.

There's been a gang shooting in Lakewood.

Any witnesses?

A Mrs. Hannah Sanchez.
