Original subtitles

( suspenseful theme ) (Resync by Chuck)

TRIVETTE (whispers): See, I told you that snitch was lying.

"It's gonna be a midnight run."

It's midnight right now.

You know what's going on, he's looting another facility.

They'll be here.

He says they'll be here, they'll be here.

How long you guys known each other?

DPS training.

We was a pair to draw to.

Me, the original hell-raiser, and Cordell

with that quiet, Cherokee attitude.

Gets real mad when he's pushed.

We put a Texas-sized hurt on any bad guys

who refused to salute the Rangers, God and country,

in that order.

(vehicle approaching) Here they come.

Let's do it.

Let's go, Hanks.

Bet mine goes down first.

I'll bet you dinner.

You got it.

(grunting)

Damn. A big steak, baked potatoes,

black-eyed peas. All right, all right.

Those are ours. No, actually, those are yours now.

Put 'em on.

(grunting)

See, now I'm late for dinner. Put 'em on!

(grunting)

Just like old times, Cordell.

You mean this is more fun than working for the governor?

That was a rotten thing you did to me.

Better you than me.

LOGAN: Nobody in their right mind

would do this for a living, Cordell,

unless...

it was in their blood.

Busting bad guys, it's more than thinking we make a difference.

It's a religious experience.

At least I used to tell Molly that,

but she'd just sit there

in that quiet way of hers and say,

"Logan, you'd better get yourself a nice, safe job

while you can still walk."

(chuckles)

(rock music playing, chattering)

GIRL: All right!

BOY 1: Show 'em what you got!

Line up on the side out of the way!

Hey, kid, come on.

You ready for a ride on the wild side?

That's okay, Vernon. (chuckles)

Come on.

Now.

BOY 2: Do it!

Come on, boys, move along!

(engines revving)

(crowd cheering)

WALKER: You're not thinking of hanging it up, are you?

Amigo,

some people get shot out of cannons,

some people climb mountains to see what's on the other side,

but me, I'm a Texas Ranger for life.

You might as was well face it.

Dana,

bless her heart.

She's put her life on the same track.

But Keith, hmmm.

Can't seem to get through to him.

The fishing trip didn't help?

(sighs)

I don't know

whether he hates fishing or just hates me.

Ever since Molly died, I...

Well, he's a teenager, Logan. What can you do?

Boy, howdy.

You know, raging hormones, loud music,

funny-looking haircut.

He got the whole package.

(sighs) It's not easy.

(engines revving, crowd cheering)

(tires squealing)

GIRL: Come on, come on, come on!

BOY: Go get him!

(cheering, tires squealing)

Whoa, there's an accident waiting to happen.

(tires squealing)

(ominous theme playing)

They're cops, they're cops.

Oh, come on. Do something. Hold on, hold on, hang on.

Hang on, hang on.

Oh, man, they're getting closer. Dude, they're right on us.

Shut up, shut up!

Hey, hey, look out!

(tires squealing)

Keith.

Oh, sorry. What do you want me to say, I'm sorry?

I don't know what happened. I wasn't even speeding.

We'll let the judge decide that. Take him in.

All right. OFFICER 1: We combed the area...

OFFICER 2: Come on, son.

OFFICER 3: Come to the station with us.

It's not my fault.

I didn't wanna ride with him.

Honest.

But damn it, Keith, you were riding with him.

What the hell were you doing?

I was just a passenger.

I didn't have anything to do with it.

Don't cop an attitude with me, son.

Or what?

W-what, you gonna ground me?

I'm sick of being treated like I was 10 years old.

WOMAN (over radio): in the downtown area...

(sighs)

(indistinct speech over police radio)

MAN: Here, Jerry, give you a hand.

You know, Keith, you could have been killed.

(siren wailing)

Dad?

It's your brother again.

I got your call, Walker. Is he okay?

Yeah, he's okay. He's one lucky kid, though.

Are there any charges?

Against the driver.

Not against Keith if he cooperates.

LOGAN: And while you're at it,

maybe you can figure out what makes him tick,

'cause I can't.

( somber theme playing)

TRIVETTE: Good morning, yeah. (hums)

You know what?

What?

That was something, man,

working with Logan Reno last night.

Did you know that his grandfather

was one of the original Texas Rangers

that took down Bonnie and Clyde?

Yep.

Oh, you knew that.

Why would you break up a partnership with him?

I didn't.

He went to work for the governor as his personal bodyguard.

Oh.

That's how I wound up with you.

You're lucky to have me.

Pffft!

You know what? I heard that it was you

that was supposed to be the governor's bodyguard.

Yeah, he tried.

But I convinced him that Logan

was the best man for the job.

Heh! I don't think Logan's ever forgiven me for that.

I wonder what it would be like

to be Logan Reno's son.

Heh! Well, maybe he'll adopt you.

Let's see, James Reno.

It has a ring to it.

James Reno, Texas Ranger.

(chuckles)

(chuckles)

Hank, this looks interesting.

What you got?

Cordell, Trivette,

might have something cooking here, boys.

What you got, pops?

"Pops"?

New business going down.

Perps wearing clown masks using military precision.

Got some feedback on unsolves

from Houston, Tulsa and Oklahoma City.

They match two recent hits in the metroplex.

Yeah, these boys know what they're doing.

Yeah, they pulled several heists in each of the cities.

Yeah, which means they'll hit again.

I hope you didn't get too soft working for the governor, Logan.

Cordell,

I'm meaner and tougher than you ever hoped to be

and I wanted to get back into action

from the second you railroaded me to Austin.

I didn't railroad you, Logan.

All I did was convince the governor

of his great qualities, that's all.

Sold me down the river's what he did.

Trivette, you gotta watch him.

I used to consider this guy like...

Like family.

(grunts)

Oh, that hurts, Logan. That really hurts.

Ha! Only kidding.

(all laugh)

( melancholy theme playing)

MAN: Okay, I'll be right over.

We'll save you a seat inside.

All right, gentlemen, in 18 minutes we cash out.

Lock and load.

Listen, Cordell, I...

I lost my temper last night and I shouldn't have,

but I honestly don't know what to do about Keith.

Well, I'd just give him a little space, Logan.

I'm sure he'll come around.

Well, I hope so. This Sunday,

Dana's gonna cook up a roast, if you're free.

Hey, you can count me in.

All right.

( ominous theme playing)

All right, people, suit up.

Bludgeon to Backup, we're going in.

(gun cocks)

(tires squealing)

Hey, what do you think you're doing?

(people screaming)

Come on, lay down! Get down!

Move, move, get the money! Move!

Give me a hand! (indistinct shouting)

Get that other sack. Move. All right.

Stay down! Get down! Lady, don't move!

MAN (over radio): All units, robbery in progress, KDA Benefit and Concert.

Dallas P.D., this is Texas Ranger Five,

we're three minutes away and responding.

Roger that.

Logan, go to Tech Two.

Looks like we're back in business, Cordell.

I'll catch you later at C.D.'s.

You'll catch us before that. We're your backup.

Don't make a move till we get there.

Well, come on, partner. I'll flip you for the paperwork.

(gun cocks)

Quickly, people. Move, move. Quickly.

Give me the money!

Come on.

All right, let's move, let's go.

(tires squealing)

Texas Rangers. Drop your weapons.

Okay. Okay, you got us.

We'll go peacefully.

Any time, Backup.

Go! (tires squeal)

(grunting)

(grunting)

( somber theme playing)

Move!

Let's get outta here.

(gunshots)

(groaning)

How is he?

How is he?!

PARAMEDIC: The cashier and the security guard are all right.

Ranger Hanks caught one in the lower back.

It's hard to say how he'll do.

The license numbers we got were stolen.

Dana.

I'm sorry.

(sobbing)

WALKER: Dana?

Come on, Dana. Come on.

( somber theme playing)

(inaudible dialogue)

WALKER: Logan Reno was a Texas Ranger,

one of the finest to ever wear the star.

His father was a Ranger,

as was his grandfather.

Logan loved his family,

maybe more than they'll ever know.

And now he's with his beloved Molly.

Logan lived by a code,

and he spoke the truth as he saw it.

Something Logan used to say rings more true today

than ever before.

A Ranger who's not willing to die for justice

is not really a Ranger.

You're the best friend a Ranger ever had, Logan,

and I'm gonna miss you.

CAPTAIN: Forward, pull.

Fire position. Move.

Ready, aim, fire. (guns cock, gunshots)

Ready, aim, fire.

Ready, aim, fire.

Cease-fire.

Present halt.

(bagpipes play "Amazing Grace")

This flag is presented on behalf of the state of Texas

in remembrance of the faithful and honorable service

of your loved one.

( ominous theme playing)

(chattering)

How's Wade Hanks?

Well, they still got him in intensive care.

He's gonna make it, though.

Whether he walks again, that's another story.

C.D.: That's a damn shame. TRIVETTE: Yeah.

You got any leads on those shooters?

Well, we found the van and the four-by-four

they used as backup,

abandoned, wiped clean.

Both of 'em stolen.

Yeah, and we found eight shell casings.

Same m.o. as the other jobs.

You know, you hit one of those suckers an inch above the heart,

he barely even flinched.

C.D.: Hmmm.

Bulletproof vest.

Yeah. So I put out a trace

of the police and military supply houses.

That had to be state-of-the-art to stop that load.

Well, it's a shame Dana lost her dad.

Now she's gotta raise her kid brother.

Yeah, that's gonna be tough.

Yeah, she's a good person, though.

She can handle it.

I hope so.

(rock music playing over stereo)

(door closes)

(music stops)

Hey, don't mess with my music.

(music starts)

(music stops)

Put the ball away. Get ready for school.

Who made you boss?

Hey, playtime is over, Keith.

Now, it's been a week.

We've gotta get on with our lives.

So I miss another day of chopping up frogs, so what?

Besides, they gave you time off.

That's the department's idea, not mine.

You know I'd much rather be working.

Yeah, well, if it's good enough for you,

it's good enough for me.

Now give me the ball.

No, you are going to school.

No, you can't make me.

Get in that house. You're not my mother.

Hey, you two, I can hear you all the way down the street.

I cleaned out your father's locker.

Thanks.

Aren't you supposed to be in school?

I'm not going.

Oh, yes, you are.

Go in there and get ready.

Thanks, Walker.

How are you holding up?

I've been better.

What am I gonna do with him?

Well, he's been kicked right in the gut again.

First your mom, and now your dad.

It's gonna take time for both of you.

I know. I know, but I'm a cop.

I'm not a mother or a father.

Well, I'll talk to him,

and don't forget, I'm always here for you, okay?

You know, there's something you could do.

What's that?

Use your influence.

Get them to let me come back to work, now.

I don't think it's a good idea.

Oh, come on. You think it's therapeutic

sitting around all day, listening to the clock tick?

Reading sympathy cards and

watching the funeral flowers wilt?

I need to get back to work, Walker.

I'll see what I can do.

Thanks. Come on.

Hey.

Unh!

Okay, people, this is not a drill. Suck floor.

Get the money. Get the money.

Give me the money. Hand me the bag.

Put the money in the bag.

What are you looking at?

Do not look at me. Do you understand?

Come on. Ándale, ándale!

Put the bags on the counter. Now!

Stay down. Get down.

Let's see your hands.

Get the money. Go, go.

If anyone says anything about you being late,

have them call me.

Look, um, you don't understand.

You're wrong, Keith. I do understand.

When my parents were killed, I felt just the same way you do.

I had a hard time expressing my feelings too.

It's like I'm still numb.

I don't know what to feel.

I mean, I miss my dad, but...

He was the world's greatest everything.

Marine, Ranger, bass fisherman.

You name it, he had the T-shirt.

Me, I'm the world's worst everything.

C's in all my classes, didn't make the football team.

I don't even like fishing.

And the last thing on earth I wanna do is be a Ranger.

That's all he ever talked about, though.

I never even had a choice.

Well, I knew your father as well as I knew anyone.

All he did was brag about you.

He loved you very much.

Yeah, well, how come he never told me that?

I guess he should've.

But now that he's gone,

you've gotta make some smart choices,

and one of those choices is staying in school.

What, we back to that now?

That's right, and I'm gonna see that you stay in school.

MAN (on radio): Walker, come in.

Go ahead.

Yeah, they hit again.

( suspenseful theme playing)

How much was taken?

About... two hundred-fifty thousand inside,

another 90 to 100 that was being delivered outside

by the armored car.

Thank you.

What are you doing here?

Making a deposit. Why?

Come on, Dana.

Okay, I heard it on the scanner.

Look, I'm not gonna sit around watching TV all day.

I need to get back to work.

Have you talked to Preston?

I just left you. Now go home.

You don't understand. I have to be involved in this.

As soon as we get a lead, you'll be the first one to know, okay?

No, I want in on it now.

Dana, you're too close to this.

You were my father's best friend.

I still am.

Now go home.

Wish I could be more help,

but all I saw was three guys in clown masks.

The next thing I remember was him holding up two fingers,

and asking if I could count to one.

What happened?

I'm sorry, Mr. Mueller. We didn't have a prayer.

Who are you, sir?

Burt Mueller.

It's our company.

We got the security and the armored trucks.

Well, Mr. Mueller,

I'm afraid one of your guards has been killed.

Who was it?

Tom Housley.

Ohh... I should've got out of the truck sooner.

Oh, my God.

Ah... Ahhhh!

Hey, hey, hey. (moaning)

Okay, okay, here we go.

Come on, in the chair here. Okay.

There we go!

(coughs)

Looks like a heart attack.

Osheroff, get me some oxygen and an IV.

Ugggghhhhh!

What hospital?

Memorial.

Memorial Hospital.

They're taking him in for tests.

Remind me to get a physical next week.

You just had a physical.

Remind me to get another one.

Funny how life turns out.

Logan always dreamed of Keith going into law enforcement,

but it wound up being his daughter.

Think Keith will come around?

I sure hope so.

Look at this.

The point man takes out the guard,

the two flankers cover the back and side.

All the bagman has to do is collect the money.

Not one wasted move.

Just like a precision military operation.

Haven't been able to match that exact m.o. with any other gang.

Looks like we got a whole new wild bunch here.

Let's see what we got.

So far, they've collected $50,000 from the supermarket,

70,000 from the check cashing store,

100,000 from the concert

and 350,000 from the bank.

So they're climbing the ladder.

Each hit's topping the last.

The van and the four-by-four seen outside the bank

were found abandoned.

Both are hot.

What about the military angle?

I generated a list

of dishonorable dischargees in the area.

What about vets that had a problem

with the military police?

And I accessed the Army and the Marine Corp database,

so that's 30 names that fit the profile.

(computer beeps)

Make that 26. Four of them are doing time.

(phone rings)

Walker.

Thanks, Fowler.

The lab came up with a clean print

off one of the shell casings,

and R & I came up with a hit.

Manny Alberado.

Manny Alberado.

Hello.

Dishonorably discharged after Desert Storm.

Suspected of three strong-arm robberies.

Fugitive warrant outstanding.

I think he fits the profile.

You got an address?

Nothing.

Well, I think our next move is to go where military

and wanna-be military types hang out.

Does that mean the Hunt Club?

Yep.

Nobody goes to the Hunt Club without a SWAT escort.

We do.

Walker.

I know how hard losing Logan must be,

so if there's anything I can do,

or even if you just wanna talk...

I appreciate it.

( progressive rock-country blend plays in background)

Manny Alberado.

Yeah, I remember him, vaguely.

Has he been in lately?

No, not for a couple of weeks.

You know where we can find him?

What do I look like, his travel agent?

Are you still running those illegal card games in the back?

Touch that and I'll break your finger.

Well, you wanna go check?

Sure.

So are you winning, Manny?

Manny?

No way, man.

A lot of people tell me I look like that guy,

but I'm not him.

Isn't that right, Jumbo?

Then you won't mind coming downtown,

and answering some questions.

He's not going anywhere until he finishes this hand.

Well, he was bluffing, anyway.

Auuugh!

Ha, ha!

Thank you very much.

Are you sure it was the Rangers?

I saw the badges.

Bartender recognized one of them.

Walker's the name.

I gotta tell you, this dude ain't nobody to mess with.

Teele's right, man. That Walker,

he's a legend around here.

What's your point, Ross?

We about got what we came here for, right?

You know, maybe we ought to fold our tent,

split the cash, let's get the hell out of Dodge.

(gasping)

That just cost you 5 percent of your share, Ross.

Anybody else here concerned about the Ranger, huh?

I didn't think so.

Hey, what's shaking, Hanks?

Hi. As well as can be expected.

Heard you nailed one of them.

Yeah, we nailed him, but the judge let him out.

All we got was name, rank and serial number.

(scoffs)

What the hell are you doing here?

You ought to be out tracking the rest of those scumsuckers.

Oh, just thought we'd drop by and see

if there's anything we can do for you.

Nothing. Nothing at all.

Not unless you could spare a couple of healthy legs.

Hey, don't mind me.

I... I know I'm better off than Logan.

I am gonna fight this thing,

until I'm standing on my feet,

and look the slime who did this square in the eye.

And we're gonna see that you do it, too.

I'm glad to see you're okay.

Oh, that makes two of us.

You ever see so much paperwork?

You'd think there was really something the matter with me.

Heart attacks aren't something to joke about there,

Mr. Mueller.

I know.

But it looks like I beat this one before it beat me.

You ever see this guy hanging around your company,

talking to your guards or employees?

No, sir, I can't say as I have.

Could he have been the one that hit your truck?

I told you, they were wearing masks, and...

No, sorry, I have never seen that guy before.

Tell me something. You gentlemen really think

some of my people are involved in this?

Well, we're not ruling anything out.

Thanks.

( suspenseful theme playing)

( suspenseful theme swells)

(gunshots)

(women screaming)

Throw her in.

OFFICER: And the chalk too, bring it.

They're our guys.

They changed their pattern, though.

They used a limo and a laundry truck.

How bad is it?

One dead, two wounded.

TRIVETTE: Yeah, they took 600,000 in cash.

They knew to hit when the vault was full.

So it's probably an inside job.

Yeah, I think so.

So we're checking the credit union,

the armored-car company, and the accounting firm.

Well, I just came from downtown.

The mayor wants to put together a task force.

All city, state and county law enforcement agencies,

and your captain wants you two to head up the Rangers.

ALEX: The DA's office has been working with

Rangers Walker and Trivette.

Now, they have developed several lists of potential suspects,

but... these men are on our A-list.

And they all fit the ex-military profile,

and they're all known to be in the area,

but nowhere to be found.

We know this sucker's involved.

We busted him on an assault charge.

We got him downstairs.

Right now he's being less than cooperative.

What about his known associates?

We're running them.

I'll have a list for you this afternoon.

All right, what we got is,

every hit is bigger than the last one.

Walker thinks that they're using

one robbery to train for the next.

So if he's right, then the next target

could exceed over a million dollars.

The logical move would be to research the firms

that have that kind of cash on hand.

And stake them out.

Now we're talking about a lot of manpower here.

Now, I don't know if we can make that many officers available.

Have the mayor cut you a bigger check.

I don't care if it's a meter maid.

We need someone peeking in a window,

every time a cash drawer is opened.

I'll see what I can do. Anything else?

Yeah, there is one thing.

We have reason to believe that this is an inside job.

We're doing background checks on all past and current employees.

That's good. Hopefully that'll narrow it down some.

Okay, we got a lot of work to do.

Let's get out there and get busy.

( nervous theme playing)

I'll see you later inside.

You got it, Walker.

What's the matter, Dana?

Keith's gone.

Where? I don't know.

We had a fight, he stormed out

and said he wasn't coming back.

I'll see if I can find him.

Walker, it's my fault.

I'm driving us both crazy. I... I can't stay home.

I gotta get back to work.

Hey, Bob?

You think you could put Dana back on duty?

Well, you think it's the best thing?

Yeah, I do.

Okay, you go back on patrol,

but you let Walker handle this case. You understand me?

Yes, sir.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Okay.

( dramatic theme playing)

Prevent Security.

Hands up now! Get down!

Nobody move!

Come on.

Metro Three, we're at the sports arena on a suspicious van.

Send us backup.

WOMAN: Rangers Two, what's your position?

We're at Commerce and Elm.

Go to Tack Six.

Rangers Two, over.

MAN: We got a call from Metro Officers at

Dallas Arena requesting backup.

Suspicious vehicle, armored car on the scene.

We're on it.

Come on, go, go, go!

Backup, earn your keep.

Go, go, go.

Let's go. Quickly.

Come on. Bolton!

How you doing?

Hey, I got an officer down north side of the sports arena.

Send an ambulance.

He shot his own man.

Yeah, these guys don't leave any witnesses.

What did he yell?

Bolton?

Sounded like it.

Why don't you run a check on every Bolton

that has a military background.

All right.

Walker, I got him.

"Mitch Bolton, captain, Special Forces.

"Explosives specialist, martial arts expert.

"Dishonorably discharged.

Suspected of torturing prisoners."

That's a bad boy.

Hard to believe he was ever on Special Forces.

Just like a bad cop.

I'll put this out on a citywide bulletin.

We gotta find out who the inside man is on this.

Why don't you take this over to Sundance Security.

I'll talk to Mueller at Prevent.

No, sir, this is a bad hombre.

I never saw him before in my life, and a fellow like this

could never get mixed up with my outfit.

Who knows the schedules of your runs

and the amounts being transported?

Clete Gibson would know that.

Who's he?

My dispatcher.

Been with me 15 years.

I'd like to talk to him.

He called in sick this morning.

I'd like to talk to him anyway.

You have an address?

I do. As a matter of fact, I'll go with you.

You meet Clete Gibson, you'll know in a minute

he's not mixed up in any of this.

Let's go.

You betcha.

I appreciate your bringing me along here.

I think you're barking up the wrong tree, though.

I've known this fellow a long time.

He's almost like family to me.

Well, we'll see, Mr. Mueller.

I thought you said he called in sick?

Well, he did.

You know, could be he's at the doctor's.

He could be a hundred places.

Just because he's not here, you know,

don't make him a criminal.

Is this supposed to be here?

No, sir, it's not.

You know, after 15 years,

you'd think you'd get to know a fellow, wouldn't you?

I'll be damned.

This is Walker.

Contact Trivette.

Have him get everything he can

on a Prevent Security employee named Clete Gibson.

You got that? Clete Gibson.

WALKER: That's Gibson's car, all right.

His phone records show he made three toll calls

to that house this morning.

Like he had something real urgent on his mind.

Let's go find out.

It's Clete Gibson.

Wanna help me?

Got him? Okay.

He's booby trapped, Trivette. What?

Hold him up.

I can't believe I was so damned stupid.

What do you wanna do?

Well, when he goes down, this place is going up,

so, let's run like hell, on three.

On three? Ready?

One, two, three.

(ticking)

You okay?

Did you say two or three?

Three for you, two for me.

Oh, man.

Bolton led us right into a trap.

He wanted us to find Clete Gibson.

So he kills Gibson to keep him quiet.

Or to take suspicion away from the real inside man.

You got any idea who that might be?

Have you completed your background check

on all the employees at Sundance and Prevent Security?

Wait. One moment.

Did we not almost get our butts

blown off back over there?

Geez!

Should I take that as a no?

Looking good.

It's better than kicking in the wall at home.

I've looked everywhere for Keith. Has he called?

No. Walker, I am worried sick.

Well, I know what he's going through, Dana.

When my folks were killed, I rebelled just like he's doing.

Yeah, but what if something happens to him?

Well, don't worry. We'll find him.

Come on.

(laughing)

(as Beavis): We drank up all the beer, man.

That sucks.

(as Butt-head): We need a beer run.

(as Beavis): I'm busted. All my money went on bail.

What am I gonna do?

(as Butt-head): Uh, put it on my account, man.

You know that's funny.

Hey, Keith, you steer, man.

I'm gonna need both hands free.

I hear you're having a 100%-off sale.

Michelle, grab me some cigarettes.

Hey, how you doing?

Get out of the way.

You're taking a bear? You gotta be kidding me.

Hey, hey, hey, put the phone down. Put the phone down.

Hold it right there!

OFFICER 2: All right, I got those two.

Come on, man. Vernon, he's a cop.

He's not taking me down.

No!

Freeze!

Drop the knife!

What have you got?

We may have something on that inside man

we've been looking for.

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

Mitch Bolton.

He was suspected of stealing military ordinance

and selling it to drug dealers in Panama.

But nobody can nail him for the scam

because he used a middle man.

You know who it is?

Not yet, but at about the same time,

Eugene Whitney applied for a passport

and took a little trip to Panama too.

Interesting. Yep.

Whitney's neighbors say he keeps to himself.

Doesn't live above his means.

Well, not yet,

but my guess is Bolton's still controlling the money.

According to the schedule, that's the last stop.

Well, now we'll follow him to the Federal Reserve Depository,

then we'll call it a day.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(engine sputtering)

Damn.

I told Mueller this unit needed a new fuel pump.

Just sit tight. I'll check it out.

Rangers, damn.

Bludgeon to Backup. Abort the mission.

Repeat. Abort the mission.

Aborted.

Just a loose spark plug wire.

I don't get it.

If there was ever a time for a hit, this was it.

Bolton made us.

Hey, leave me alone, man. I'm not bothering you.

What's your name?

Keith.

Keith Reno.

Where'd you get them boots, Keith?

They belonged to my father.

I want 'em. Now.

Forget it.

Well, well, I'll bet you could use

a black cup of coffee about now.

C.D., you're a mind reader.

Nope, nope, I just read the signs

and your signs say you haven't slept in a good while.

How about that?

It's been a while.

That's not good, Alex.

Well, working with this task force

has not lightened my caseload any,

and there's just not enough hours

in the day to get it all done.

It's Cordell, isn't it?

I thought you weren't a mind reader.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, C.D.

I mean, we are so close,

we're such good friends,

and when he needs a friend most

that's when he pulls away from me.

Well,

sometimes a man just has to keep to himself.

Why?

I mean, I know he's hurting over Logan's death,

and every time I mention it he clams up tighter than a drum.

Honey, a man's just got to do what he's got to do.

No, he doesn't.

I'm there for him. I mean, at least I wanna be.

Alex, let me tell you something.

One time Cordell was engaged to this little girl

out in El Paso.

Pretty little gal.

Little redhead.

He was a young trooper.

Every time they were together,

Christmas, New Year's Eve, Fourth of July.

They really loved each other.

He took a bullet one day. Wasn't his fault.

You know, so many of us are just gonna get shot

every year, and that's what happened to him.

He was in intensive care,

but he pulled out of it, just kept working at it,

and that little old gal was right by his side.

Well, when he got up and about,

she just confronted him.

"The badge or me."

Of course, he took the badge.

I think he lost a little bit of himself then, hon.

He never told me about this.

Alex, it's awful hard for Cordell to open up.

He don't wanna get hurt again,

and he don't wanna hurt nobody.

Kitty, kitty. I'm home.

Hi, kitty.

(cat meows)

How you doing?

Hey, kitty, you miss me?

Did you miss me today?

Yeah.

Old dad had a big day, let me tell you that.

I'm gonna get me a beer,

and I'm gonna get you a kitty beer.

You got your kitty litter packed?

Two more days and we'll be in paradise.

Whitney.

Bolton, what are you doing here?

Things have changed.

You got this Ranger's been dogging you all day long.

He's onto you. But how?

But how? Doesn't make any difference how.

(mews)

He died good, didn't he? Let's ride.

(meows timidly)

Hands up, knees on the ground!

Nobody move! Back off, chump!

(screaming)

Get down! Hands behind your heads!

Jewels in the bag, lady. Jewels in the bag. Move!

(chattering)

The estimated take was over $3 million.

The mayor's gonna have me for lunch on this one.

Anything pan out with that driver?

No. (cell phone rings)

He didn't show up for work today. We checked his apartment.

He's gone.

Preston.

Yeah, he's here. It's for you.

It's a guard down at juvenile hall.

Yeah?

Heard they tried to take your boots.

I see you still got 'em.

I also heard you saved a lawman's life.

Your dad would've been real proud of you.

He wouldn't have been proud of you and your friend

ripping off that store.

Things just got out of hand.

I'm sorry.

Come on, let's go.

Jimmy? Yo?

Where's Walker?

You wanna sit down?

No. Where is he?

You heard?

My father is turning over in his grave.

Now I know that Walker bailed Keith out.

Where'd they go after that?

I don't know. Maybe... Maybe he drove him home?

(scoffs)

I just came from there.

Maisy? Yeah, where's Walker?

Hey, I know that guy.

A few months back he and some friends

took apart a topless bar at Bockman Lake.

Yeah, thanks.

I'm running known associates on our prime suspect.

His name's Mitch Bolton.

We think this guy's part of the gang

that killed your father.

Trivette, can I see you a minute?

( suspenseful theme playing)

(printer humming)

( tender theme playing)

What did we come here for?

No particular reason.

Just thought I'd say hello to your dad.

Well, we're still after the guys that took you down, Logan,

but we'll get 'em.

You know that.

I guess you heard about your son Keith

getting himself into a little bit of a scrape, huh?

Well, I think he learned his lesson.

He can't hear you.

He's dead.

It's too late. Doesn't matter anymore.

It does matter, Keith,

and it's never too late.

I lost my parents when I was a young boy,

but that doesn't stop me from talking to 'em

and they're pretty good listeners too.

I'll bet your dad's a good listener,

and I'll bet he'd love to hear from you.

What do I say?

Whatever comes from the heart.

( tender theme playing)

Hey, Dad.

I really screwed up.

Made a mess of things.

You're doing fine.

I didn't mean for this to happen.

I didn't mean for a lot of things to happen.

It feels funny talking to you this way.

I wish...

I wish I could see you again...

Dad, because, you know, I really...

I really miss you a lot.

I never thought I would, all those fights,

but I always thought you'd be there.

(sighs)

But I guess things don't work out like we'd like all the time.

Why?

Why did it have to be you?

Why did you have to go there and be killed?

I never got a chance to say goodbye.

I never got a chance to tell you...

I love you.

(crying)

( suspenseful theme playing)

(talking indistinctly)

MAN 1: Look at that.

Hey, welcome.

MAN 2: All right.

MAN 1: Hey, mama, how you doing?

What can I do you for, little lady?

Name it. It's on the house.

I'm not thirsty.

I never knew a customer to turn down a freebie.

Well, I'm looking for some friends. Maybe you've seen 'em.

I hear this is their second home.

Lady, I just pour drinks and wash glasses.

Hey, look at this.

A female cop.

You know these guys?

Never seen 'em before.

Now why is it I don't believe you?

You calling me a liar?

No, no, of course not.

Ow!

Now, I'm personally offering $5000

for information leading to the arrest of these men.

Oh, come on, boys, don't be shy.

My money spends just as good as anyone's.

(yelling)

You're gonna be sorry you ever came in here.

(man yells)

Oof!

Now you're really gonna be sorry.

(men jeering)

(gunshot)

WALKER: Let her go.

Can't shoot an unarmed man.

I'll do more than that if you don't let her go.

Why don't you just turn around and leave while you still can?

You sound like a man huffing up to do something real stupid.

Not as stupid as you coming in here in the first place.

Why don't you show me just how stupid I am?

Anyone else stupid?

( tense theme playing)

How did you know I was here?

Trivette noticed his printer was on,

figured what you were up to.

Oh, thank God.

Dana, you never go into a place like that without backup.

You should know better than that.

I... I know. I... I'm sorry.

I thought I could handle it.

Well, now you know.

TRIVETTE (over radio): Walker?

Walker, come in. Are you there?

Yeah.

You wanna pick me up? We got a meeting with Preston.

( suspenseful theme playing)

I got it.

MAN 1: Here you go. MAN 2: Thanks.

Is one of them Eugene Whitney?

Oh, yeah.

Mueller's driver. Bought it with a single shot to the head.

What about the other guy?

Manny Alberado. Same thing.

ME puts the death two days ago.

Bolton's thinning out his shareholders.

I've got an idea,

but it's gonna take Burt Mueller's cooperation.

Whitney too? He was my first driver.

My God, why would he do this to me?

Who knows?

Maybe all those years of carrying other people's money.

He decided to take a little for himself.

Yeah.

We've got a plan to nail these guys,

but we'll need your help.

Yes, sir, you name it. Anything.

Well, the biggest run of the month is tomorrow, right?

Yes, sir.

Tomorrow we pick up five banks,

the military base, and the Dallas Arena.

We take $6 million to the Federal Reserve.

And Whitney normally makes that run,

which means Bolton will know all about it.

Gentlemen, if anything happens to that money,

I'm out of business. It's that simple.

Nothing's gonna happen.

Trivette and I are gonna make that run for you.

But after all the money's loaded,

we're gonna switch it to another armored car.

And Bolton will follow us in the empty armored car.

TRIVETTE: So the armored car with the money

is gonna take the back roads to Fort Worth.

(sighs)

Well, you're the Texas Rangers.

Sounds to me like you know what you're doing.

Well, we appreciate your cooperation, Mr. Mueller.

(men laughing, chattering)

I'm gonna tell you something, fellows.

We're gonna be in high cotton.

Huh? One more hit's all we got.

Hold it, boys. Change of plans.

The deal's off.

What do you mean?

Rangers. Texas, by God, Rangers.

That Ranger's been a day behind all along.

Well, he's caught up.

Matter of fact, he's got a little bit ahead now.

Him and his partner are gonna dress up like guards

and drive the truck, make the pickups,

then they're gonna switch the money into a decoy

and send that to the depository.

That don't make any difference.

We'll still follow the vehicle with the money, right?

No, sir.

It'll be driven by cops too, you see.

And if I know this Walker

he'll have enough firepower on it

to take out a small town.

Pfft. Ah.

That don't scare us.

Makes it more entertaining, right?

Say, why'd you have to kill Whitney?

He was a liability.

He was my friend.

You know, Walker had it nailed.

He said Whitney had hauled

somebody else's money around for so long

it made him crazy.

Figured he had to take some for himself.

Look how he wound up.

A tired old man in a little stinking hovel

with an old scrawny cat.

Hell, he could've been talking about me.

( dramatic theme playing)

(humming)

My mother always said money was a burden.

She just never told me it was this heavy.

BOLTON: Look at these pukes.

They really think they're gonna pull this off.

(laughing)

( suspenseful theme playing)

Last stop coming up.

Hey, how come you always get to do the driving

and I always get to do the lifting?

Because it was my plan.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(truck beeping)

We've got weights in the other armored car

to make it look like it's loaded.

I sure hope Bolton goes for this.

Me too.

No, no. Wait, wait, wait.

Look how light it's riding.

Mueller was right on the money.

We're just gonna sit tight and wait to pick them apples.

There she is, boys.

See how low it's riding in the frame, huh?

Let's get to it.

Let's go. (engine starts)

( suspenseful theme playing)

TRIVETTE: Is that yellow four-by still behind us?

He's there.

Oh.

Okay, listen up. He's taking 40 to Wyant cut-off.

If he takes a right,

that means Old Forest Road right into Fort Worth.

That ought to give us plenty of time and room to move.

( tense theme playing)

Bludgeon to Cash and Carry. Old Forest Road.

We'll take it down at mile six.

( tense theme playing)

BOLTON: All right, move out.

Get ready, Trivette.

Bludgeon to Cash and Carry. Where are you?

MAN: Mile seven, heading your way.

On target.

Pull off and lay low.

All right, mask up.

Make sure you got enough ammo.

( tense theme playing)

Here.

( tense theme playing)

Preston?

WALKER (over radio): Preston, come in.

We're here, Walker.

It's going down. Old Forest Road, mile six.

We're on our way. Let's go, boys!

Hold on, Trivette.

Take out that car.

( dramatic theme playing)

(sirens wailing)

(gun clicks)

(sirens approaching)

All right, Peterson, split up. Move!

(gunshots)

( ominous theme playing)

I'm glad you're here.

How many are there?

About four or five.

You two, fall back, fall back.

( tense theme playing)

(grunting)

( tense theme playing)

Ow!

(grunting)

Cuff him.

(bones crack) Aahh!

( dramatic theme playing)

OFFICER: I'll take him.

So, what tipped you off that Mueller was involved?

Well, actually, Trivette figured that one out.

Yeah, when Mueller told Walker that Gibson called in sick

I checked and found out that Gibson lives in Forth Worth,

but he works in Dallas, which is a toll call,

but there was no phone record of any calls that morning.

So Mueller faked his own heart attack?

Yeah, well, he might've, but we're not sure.

Here you go, Dana.

Oh, thanks, Keith.

Keith.

Come here. I wanna talk to you.

How you two getting along?

We're taking it one day at a time.

At least he's talking to me.

He's opening up.

He's acting like a brother again.

Thanks to you.

That's not the only thing.

Thanks for putting a word in to my captain.

You saved my hide.

(chuckles)

Well, it was worth saving.

This potato salad is wonderful. I want the recipe.

Actually, it's C.D.'s recipe.

He said it came over with his family on the Mayflower.

(chuckles)

The Mayflower. Right, right.

(all laugh)

Look, I heard what happened in jail,

so I was thinking I'd teach you a basic self-defense move.

Oh, I don't think that that...

No, it's okay, it's all right,

because it never hurts to be able to defend yourself.

I'm gonna teach you something that Walker taught me.

It's called a single reverse hip throw.

You ever heard of that?

Oh, no.

We gotta watch this. C.D.

Hit me right here.

I can't do that.

No, go ahead.

Give me a poke right here.

C.D.: Jimmy, what are you doing?

I'm teaching him a single reverse hip throw

that Walker taught me.

I don't think that's a good idea, Trivette.

I'm not gonna hurt him.

I knew this was gonna happen, man.

You don't understand. It's not...

I know this as well as you do, Walker.

Just...

Jimmy... Big Dog, I know what I'm doing.

Okay. Okay.

All right, we'll go in slow motion

so he doesn't hurt himself.

Throw the punch.

Throw the punch. He throws the punch.

Step across, grab his back.

Whoa! (others laugh)

What was that?

Well, that was the double reverse hip throw.

My dad taught me that.

( comic theme playing)

Why didn't you tell me?

BOTH: We tried to tell you.

MAN: They did. They sure did.

(all laughing)

(chuckles)
