You don't mind if I change this, do you?

Yes, I do mind. Come on. You're not gonna make me

listen to another chorus of some gal losing her guy

to some pickup truck named Lucille?

At least you can understand the words.

That's more than I can say about your music.

What, this is the tape that C.D. got you?

Merrilee Summers.

Hey, she's pretty good-looking. Look at that.

Hey, I'm trying to drive.

"Take My Word For It."

I don't have to take your word for it.

C.D. plays her video over and over again.

He's like a child with his first crush.

Well, he's excited about her playing at the bar and grill.

TRIVETTE: Hey, how long has he been up there?

Climbed out there just shy on 10 minutes ago.

Bank here foreclosed on his ranch.

Just broke down and bawled like a baby.

Then, next thing you know... Yeah. Hey, look,

call 911, all right? All right?

Tell them the Texas Rangers are on it.

TRIVETTE: Why didn't you wait for me?

'Cause I don't think this guy's gonna wait.

Hey, buddy.

Don't!

Don't come any closer.

All right. Just take it easy. We just want to talk.

There's nothing to talk about. Nothing at all.

Look, it can't be as bad as all that.

Let's discuss it.

Walker, let me handle this. I know how to talk to this guy.

Are you sure? Yeah.

He wants attention. He wants to be saved.

Otherwise, he'd have jumped already.

I don't know, Trivette.

Yeah. Watch and learn.

Hey.

Hey, don't! I-I'll jump, I swear it.

I can dig it, buddy, all right?

Now, look, I know you think

that it's the end of everything, all right?

But you're gonna find

you got a lot to live for.

Yeah?

Now, everybody's had bad breaks.

Now, if you talk to me,

you're gonna find... that just maybe...

Maybe I've had just as many bad breaks as you have.

All right. What's going on?

I can't have kids.

Not ever, the doctor said.

So my wife left me.

(sobs)

Then my pa died.

And on his deathbed, he called me a fool

and he said I was going to lose the farm, which I did.

What happened to you this week?

And talking to you, it all makes sense.

I'm gonna do it!

No, wait! No, wait, wait, wait!

I just got one more thing to say, one more thing.

What?

What are you doing?

Now, you want to kill yourself, right?

But you don't want to take an innocent guy with you.

Suit yourself.

(screaming)

(crowd screaming)

(grunting)

Walker!

Don't let go, Walker.

Oh, don't you let go, Walker. Oh!

Mama... Oh.

(grunting)

(crowd chattering)

Well, it worked for Mel Gibson

in Lethal Weapon.

Trivette, that was a movie.

( rock action theme playing)

TRIVETTE: You sold this thing out in three hours?

There you go.

Yeah. I sold this thing out in three hours.

Biggest thing I ever saw in my life.

People gonna be clamoring in here.

I guess I'm gonna have to ask Merrilee

to do me a couple of extra shows.

Merrilee?

Merrilee? First-name basis already.

(Trivette laughing)

C.D.: When I found out that Ethan was representing her,

I could've got down on my knees

to beg him to get her in this place.

When she said yes,

hey, I shed real tears of joy.

Boy, you got it bad.

Well, she is pretty, all right.

And smart and let me tell you this,

very, very friendly.

You haven't even met her yet.

Well, I just know, that's how I know.

When's she supposed to get here anyway?

Any minute.

(sighs)

Lord, I hope she hasn't changed her mind.

She ain't gonna change her mind.

She's a woman, ain't she?

(guests chattering)

(tires squeal)

Well, well, well.

What the hell is all this?

Oh, Wayland, can't you leave us alone?

Wayland, we're tired of this. You're terrorizing Merrilee.

You back off, old man.

You're her business manager. This is family matter.

Now, you're not my family anymore, Wayland.

Nobody walks out on me, precious. Nobody.

Hey, Merrilee.

Hey, Bobby.

Would you please tell your boss to leave us alone?

Come on, let's get out... Bobby,

I will get when I'm ready to get, all right?

Oh! Wayland... All I want to do is talk.

I'm all talked out, Wayland. I got nothing left to say.

Well, maybe I got something to say, Merrilee.

Okay. Shh, baby. Okay.

You just... You just tell me what you want from me.

I just... I want a second chance.

Come on, baby. Baby, just another chance.

We're family. I want my family back.

And I know I can make it,

but you gotta try, Merrilee. You gotta try.

I did try, Wayland.

(sighs)

For too hard, and too long.

Now, that's why we're divorced.

Now, please, you have got to leave me be.

Well... (sniffs)

I ain't... I ain't never gonna leave you be.

Mm... Oof!

Till we're both dead and buried.

See ya.

I'm sorry, Merrilee.

Oh, Bobby.

Let's go. Get the hell out of here.

Merrilee's been going through

a kind of a rough time lately.

I know you used to be a Ranger and all.

Could you maybe get one of your Ranger buddies

kind of keep an extra-special eye on her?

Oh, you see, shh.

My pretty little ex-wife.

Uh, folks, this next song...

(crowd chattering angrily)

WOMAN: Sit down, buddy.

No, baby, baby.

Why don't you play that song you used to sing

when it was real cold when you'd say, "Wayland,

Wayland..." Okay. Hey, that's enough.

What? You're interrupting the show,

and you're bothering the patrons.

I'm bothering the patrons?

(chuckles)

Sir, I am the patrons.

Not anymore. Let's go. You don't understand.

I made that woman, up there, okay?

I taught her everything she knows.

(crowd chattering)

MAN: Sing another one, Merrilee! (upbeat country music plays)

Is that the trouble you was talking about? That's it.

Well, you don't have to worry about it then.

You got a Ranger on it. Good.

Hi, Bobby.

Hey, Wayland. Thank you.

(grunts)

Now get your boss home

and keep him there till he sobers up.

Yes, sir, Ranger.

There wasn't no trouble in there, was it?

I mean, Wayland, he don't mean no harm.

WALKER: No. No trouble. Let's keep it that way.

Yes, sir.

MERRILEE: ♪ Down by the river ♪

♪ Just like they said ♪

(burps)

(knock on door)

C.D.: Knock, knock, knock.

Come on in.

Oh, yes, ma'am.

How are you, Miss Winters? I mean, Miss Summers.

I, uh, E-Ethan said

that we might come by and see you, and, uh...

If you're busy or something, we'll just come back.

Oh, no, no, no. Don't go running off.

No, Ethan promised me I was gonna meet

my biggest fan in these here parts.

You certainly are.

I'm C.D. Parker. Nice to meet you.

It's sure nice to meet you too.

I, uh...

These are my friends. Uh, this is, uh...

(chuckles)

I'm Cordell Walker, Miss Summers.

You have to excuse C.D. He's, uh,

a little excited right now.

James Trivette. Hi.

Will you excuse them both? Yeah.

It won't be hard, I'm sure. C.D.: I know it will.

Uh, I would really like to thank you for, uh,

taking care of that earlier.

C.D., I am so sorry about all that.

Well, uh, you know, some people,

they just can't keep their personal problems at home.

And that's perfectly okay. Yes.

Well, Wayland and I don't have any personal problems.

Certainly none to conduct in my home.

Oh, is this your little girl?

Yes. Yes.

Yes, she is. This is Tammy Fay.

Tammy Fay Summers. She's pretty.

TRIVETTE: Gorgeous. C.D.: How sweet.

She's about the only thing that keeps me going these days,

except my music, of course, and nice folks like you.

C.D., can I ask a favor?

Would you mind running and finding Ethan and tell him

that I'll be ready to go in a couple of minutes?

Well, now, Ethan had to take

a couple guys over to the motel,

and he said, well, ahem,

maybe I could take you home.

Why, that'd be just fine. Course now...

Now, I've got to close up.

I have to... I have to close up. Ha, ha.

And I'll bet you're just as tired

as a cat 9 miles from dirt, aren't ya?

Yeah. So I'll just have, uh...

I'll, I'll... Uh...

Oh, I'll be glad to, if you don't mind.

Oh, I don't mind at all. In fact, it'd be my pleasure.

what was really the problem back there.

I figured you'd tell me if you wanted.

Mm. It's a real old-time,

country-song kind of story, I guess.

He was a big star then.

He made me feel so good about myself and my music.

I thought he was the best man God had ever created

until we got married.

He beat that notion out of me.

So I grabbed Tammy Fay, filed for divorce, and ran.

Old Wayland's chased me from county to county,

and state to state.

He's busted down doors, broken through windows,

callin' all hours of the morning saying,

I'm his woman and he's never gonna never let me go.

( ominous theme playing)

Oh!

(Tires squealing)

You okay? Yeah. Yeah.

I couldn't make out the car.

It was him. I know it was Wayland.

He's never gonna let me go until I'm dead.

( suspenseful theme playing)

ALEX: We've made some progress in stalking cases,

but it's very, very difficult to prove.

We can get a restraining order.

And, at this point,

that's about the best we can do.

So what do I do?

I can't exactly change my name and take my baby

to a place that no one's gonna recognize me.

She's right, Alex. I mean, she's a celebrity.

She got her songs all over the radio.

Oh, I'm just so tired of all of this.

Look, I want a normal life

for me and Tammy.

I want to stop being so afraid all the time.

WALKER: Merrilee.

Running's not gonna solve your problems.

I realize that it's difficult

to trust people that you don't even know,

but give us a chance, okay?

You really think you can help me?

We can help you.

Okay.

(horse whinnies)

Uncle Ray, this is Merrilee Summers

and her daughter, Tammy.

Very nice to meet you.

Very nice.

Pleasure's ours.

I'll put a couple more steaks on.

Okay.

Look, Tammy. They got a horse over there.

(gasps)

Oh.

(chuckles)

Oh, you got trouble now.

She's never going to want to leave.

That's okay.

Tammy, this is Amigo. He likes you.

Well, I like him.

He's nice, just like you.

Thanks.

We should go back to the hotel.

Sure.

Bye, Uncle Ray. Bye.

Yeah, I better.

Bye. Bye.

( ominous theme playing)

(kisses)

(humming)

Well.

One week in town, you're already

steppin' out with somebody else.

I should've blowed him away.

Now, you take it easy, Wayland, okay?

I don't want you waking up Tammy.

Really?

Well, hell, let's wake her up, huh?!

I mean, this is family business, isn't it?

I think she should know how her mama's

runnin' around with some other man.

Now that's enough, Wayland!

Wayland Hampton, you are not gonna shame me anymore.

Not in front of my daughter, not in front of anyone.

Do you hear me?

Now, I have begged you to get help.

You think I need help?

Yeah, I do. Well come here.

No!

(muffled cries)

Mama?

Tammy... Tammy, you go in the other room now.

WAYLAND: Hey, baby. MERRILEE: Go in the other room.

Now!

You know, I raised... I raised her,

like she's my little darling.

I did.

'Cause she is.

Like you're my wife and I know my rights.

I am not your wife anymore. We have been divorced

for three months, okay? Look, I got the papers

in the drawer if you wanna see 'em.

I don't care about your papers! Papers!

(grunting)

(people chattering)

Where's Hampton?

I don't know.

He told me to pick him up here.

Oh, no, no, no. No! Oh!

We gotta talk. I got to straighten you out. No.

N... Aah! Wayland!

(panicked cries)

Leave me alone!

Wayland! Open the door!

(shrieks) Open the...!

MERRILEE: Stop! Hampton!

(grunts)

What the hell you think you're doin'?

This is family business, Walker!

You got no right comin' in here, breakin' down doors.

Aw, c...

WALKER: Are you all right? I'm okay.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you...

(door closes)

Mommy?

Is Wayland going to jail?

I don't know, sweetheart. I hope so.

Are you scared?

Alex did everything she could,

but he's gonna make bail.

Courts are so dang full, they had to let him go.

It's how he gets off every time.

It's not fair.

No, it's not.

But we'll find a way to get him, I promise you that.

I'm sorry.

( tender country theme playing)

(horse whinnies)

Don't you worry none, Washoe.

Nobody can harm those two

as long as they're in this house.

Thanks, Uncle Ray.

Evening. Evening.

Tammy wants you to tuck her in. Do you mind?

Yeah, sure.

(chuckling)

Don't you say anything, Uncle Ray.

What's so funny?

He's been waiting a long time to see me do this.

Would you hold this? (chuckling)

Will Mommy be all right?

Yeah, your mama's going to be fine.

I promise.

Go to sleep.

(sighs)

Night, sweet pea.

( tender theme playing)

I wish she didn't have to go through all this.

I can only imagine what it's doing to her.

Children are a lot stronger

than we give 'em credit for.

(sobs)

Would you mind terribly if I cried?

(crying)

It's just been so long

since I felt safe enough with anyone.

(crying)

( tender theme playing)

What is the judge's problem, Alex?

All we're asking for is a restraining order.

That's routine, for crying out loud.

It's not that routine. We're talking about

two famous people here, you know.

TRIVETTE: Yeah, I never thought I'd be the one to say this,

but it sounds like reverse discrimination to me, folks.

C.D.: Well, I tell you, in the old days,

we'd just take him out in the alley

and beat the compound hell out of him.

Don't egg Walker on, C.D.

He's already getting too involved.

What do you mean, getting involved?

C.D.: Cordell, come on.

Everyone can tell when a man's been smitten

by a... high-country skirt (puck sliding)

and a low-country voice.

I'm just trying to help the gal out, that's all.

You and Merrilee, huh?

Look, I'm just... C.D.: Smitten. Admit it.

That's right. You got the classic symptoms:

Your eyes glaze over when her name is mentioned,

the untouched beer, and the washed truck.

The truck was dirty.

You washed your truck?

You want to know

what Wayland Hampton's gonna do next?

Well, my mama raised nothin' but fighters, sir.

And this Texas Ranger

is going to get his a%@ kicked.

Now, I am filing charges against Cordell Walker

in an hour or so,

using the best Philadelphia lawyers around.

Conduct unbecoming of a peace officer,

assault, false statements,

attempted manslaughter.

You see, I aim to cut him down to his proper size

using his own law.

And from now on, I'll be traveling

in the company of my good friends.

Thank you very much, and God bless.

(sighs) (switches TV off)

What am I gonna do now?

There was a hell of a lot of people out there last night.

Couldn't somebody identify who threw that tear gas?

Everybody we questioned claimed they didn't see anything.

Well, that's it.

Forget it. My mind is made up.

I'm gonna go back to the ranch, and I'm gonna get my things,

and we're gonna leave.

I'm sorry, C.D.,

I just don't know what else to do.

Look, Merrilee,

you can't let this guy ruin your life.

You don't understand, Walker.

Wayland doesn't want to just ruin my life.

He wants to kill me.

( suspenseful theme playing)

Oh.

Uncle Ray, they're gonna stay here until I get back.

Something wrong, Washoe?

Not for long.

isn't gonna like this one bit.

Step out of the car, please.

What?

Why? I mean, what did I do?

Drinking in public's against the law.

Out of the car.

But we sure appreciate

you buying enough for everybody.

(sarcastic chuckle)

Hands behind your back.

(groans)

You have the right to remain silent.

Look, you ain't gonna

get me to say anything against Wayland,

so you may as well just let me go.

You've known Wayland for a long time, haven't you, Bobby?

That's right. We been together

since we were little kids.

So then you know his first wife?

Tracy Lynn?

Yeah. I knew her. So what?

Keep in touch with her?

Hey, I don't know what that has to do

with anything, so why don't you just book me,

or whatever, and then just leave me be?

You seem a little nervous now, Bobby.

No, I'm just tired. Just tired is all.

Tired of being bothered by you.

Harassment, that's what it is, plain and simple.

And just leave Tracy Lynn out of this.

You know what he did to Tracy Lynn, don't you, Bobby?

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

You know exactly what we're talking about.

We're talking about when Wayland beat her

and put her in the hospital. You know everything about it!

You know every little detail.

You probably even helped him, didn't you? What'd you do?

Did you hold her down while he beat her, Bobby?

No! No, he did it himself! Look... (sighs)

He was drunk.

It was an accident.

Well, the next time there's an accident,

when he loses control,

when he hurts Merrilee and Tammy,

you get to be an accessory,

you get to go down with him!

No. No, I would never hurt them, never.

I want to know what Wayland's planning on doing.

(scoffs)

I don't know. He's crazy.

I don't care if he's crazy or not.

I want to know what his next move is.

If he tells me, I'll call you.

Do that.

( ominous theme playing)

(horse neighs)

What if Bobby changes his mind or won't help?

I mean, he's afraid of Waylon something awful.

He's got every right to be.

Nah. He knows I'm gonna take Waylon down.

He doesn't wanna go down with him.

Oh, I can't believe there's actually a chance

this all might be over.

After all this time.

It will be.

Yeah.

Thanks to you.

( slow acoustic guitar theme playing)

Hey, Bobby.

Where the hell you think you're going?

No place. I'm just doing my laundry.

You know what I heard?

I heard that you went down to the courthouse

to talk with the DA and that ranger.

What'd they wanna know about, Bobby?

Nothing.

You know, just the same old stuff.

They just wanted to know about you, is all.

I didn't tell them anything.

What did they wanna know about me, Bobby?

Nothing.

Just the dirt. You know. I swear.

You sure about that?

Come on, Waylon.

I mean, you and I been together too long.

You told them about Tracy Lynn, didn't you, Bobby?

No. Damn you, boy!

I treated you like a brother, didn't I?

I treated you just like a brother.

(ringing)

Walker.

Ranger Walker, this is Bobby.

I may have something for you tonight.

What is it?

Just meet me at my place about 9:00,

and come alone. Don't be seen.

I think Waylon knows. He damn near killed me.

You all right?

Just be there at 9:00.

I'll be there.

See, Waylon? I done what you told me.

I know you did, Bobby.

Now, I want you to listen to me. Here's what I want you to do.

You gotta get out of my sight forever...

or die, boy!

WOMAN: He's got a gun!

Drop it, Hampton!

You can't have her, ranger.

She's mine... for eternity.

Now, that's what our wedding vows said.

It's over.

Well, maybe it's over, and maybe it's not.

You pull that trigger, you're a dead man.

Son, I'm already dead.

What about Tammy?

What about her? Don't you love her too?

Maybe I do.

Well, if you do...

don't take her mother away from her.

Look, nobody cared about me for my whole life.

Nobody gave a damn!

But Tammy does!

I'm asking ya.

Don't take her mother away from her.

Hell.

Look at her.

She's the most beautiful thing

I've ever seen in my life.

"Thank you" seems like...

such a small thing to say

for what you've done for me.

You've given me the freedom...

to follow a dream that I have had

burning inside of me for so long.

And yet...

Oh, Walker.

I know.

Right guy... wrong time.

Yeah.

I can't seem to get it right, can I?

You will.

One day.

I hope so.

Who knows?

I gotta come back here sometime.

Yeah.

(drumroll playing)

ANNOUNCER: Hey, folks.
