All language subtitles for Walker, Texas Ranger S03E24-25 Standoff (2)

People ask why a man

campaigning for office in Mexico

comes to the United States.

The answer is this:

I believe that our
people are separated

by a border more
symbolic than real.

But regardless
of race or religion

or political
affiliations, we are one.

We must reach out to each other.

Right.

I agree. Yeah.

The problems we share,

the terrible effects
of illegal drugs

recognize no national borders,

nor do the criminals
who profit from them.

You gotta admit, a lot of what
he says makes sense, partner.

They always make sense
until they get elected.

As a military officer in Mexico,

I fought the
powerful drug lords.

As president, I pledge
to continue that war

on every street of
every city and village.

Think there's any
truth to the rumor

of an attempt on his life?

Well, we can't
rule anything out.

As a young man in Guadalajara...

At least you have
confidence in his security chief.

Yeah, Jesse Rodriguez.

He was one of the
top federales in Mexico.

Together, we can
put these murderers

out of business
once and for all.

We must, and I will
not rest until we do.

(Mexican music playing)

Trivette, to your left.

Halfway up the ramp.

The guy putting on his gloves.

Does he look familiar to you?

Yeah, but I don't
know from where.

Same here.

Jesse,

there's a male Caucasian
halfway up the ramp.

Mid-30s, has a suit
on, wearing gloves.

Check him out.

This is Jesse.

Please send a policeman to
check the man by the trees.

( mysterious theme playing)
(Resync by Chuck)

I don't like the feel of this.

Jesse, get Colonel
Mendoza off the stage.

Colonel, we have to go now.

No, no, it's fine. Please, no.

Walker, he's not ready.

(knives unsheathed)

MAN: Get him out of here. Move!

(screaming)

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm okay.

He's okay. I'll check
around the front.

How's Mendoza?

Well, he's shaken, but,
hombre, thanks to you,

he's still breathing.

We have a prearranged
plan for emergencies, Walker.

A car was waiting, and Col.
Mendoza was moved from here

within a minute of the incident.

It's pretty bad. Stab wound.

You saw the hit man.

We need a composite on this man.

And we also need
to check the airlines

to make sure he doesn't
wanna leave town.

He's not gonna leave.

What are you saying?
That whoever it is,

is gonna want to
stay here to finish this?

I looked into his eyes, Jesse.

He's not the type
of guy that runs.

I don't see him
anywhere, Walker.

Keep looking.

TRIVETTE: Oh.

TRIVETTE: Justin Grimes.

Formerly took his
mail at Folsom Prison.

TRIVETTE: Current
whereabouts unknown.

But one of the men on security
recognized him in the crowd

just before the
officer was stabbed.

I think we're looking for
bigger fish than Justin Grimes.

Check with Interpol.

All right.

England.

Italy.

Africa, Greece.

These guys are from all
over the world, Walker.

Hey, how are you gonna
recognize him if he was

wearing a disguise?

I'll know.

Hold it.

Punch in on his eyes.

That's him. How do you know?

By the eyes, Trivette.

I'll never forget 'em.

"Philippe Brouchard,
independent contract assassin,

"master of disguise.

'Also known as 'The Chameleon.'

Confirmed hits: 19."

Doesn't work cheap either.

Last hit he made in
London went for $5 million.

Not many people
can afford that price.

So who's picking up the tab?

There's no question.

Central American drug lords.

That's right. Mendoza
came down on them

pretty hard in his speech.

I was in Guadalajara when
a Roman Catholic cardinal

was killed by drug traffickers,

and I've seen other
senseless killings.

Well, no more.

There has to be a change.

Protecting Mendoza means
protecting the future of Mexico.

Good afternoon, sir, and
welcome to the Dallas Palace.

Good afternoon.

I have a reservation.

Yes, sir, the
desk is just inside.

I'll get your luggage.

Thank you.

Herr Braun?

Yes.

David Welles, guest
relations manager.

You've already been
preregistered, sir.

May I show you to your room?

You are most kind.

Oh, it's my
pleasure, Herr Braun.

So, what now?

Brouchard's never failed
an assignment till now.

That's why he won't leave
Dallas. Mendoza's still alive.

Master of disguise. He
could be anybody, any place.

Good luck.

Wait a minute. What?

The restaurant where
Brouchard ate during the rally.

What about it?

He ordered expensive wine.

The waiter remembers
him because he left a big tip.

He's a creature
of comfort, Trivette.

So he'll probably hole
up someplace nice.

Yeah.

It says here he
assumes the identity

of an innocent victim.

Generally an out-of-towner
with no local ties.

Then he waits for an opening.

So I'll start by checking
out-of-town hotel guests.

Yeah, and any new
John Does in the morgue.

Morning, Walker.
What've you got, Kim?

Security guard happened to
notice blood on the bumper,

called it in, P.D. responded.

We had your advisory,
the possible description

you were looking for.

Any ID? None.

He's the same height and weight
as the composite you put out.

Knife wound.

Clean entry between the
ribs, straight to the heart.

Yeah, professional.

Any other markings?

This tattoo.

Old tattoo.

Looks like numbers from
a Nazi concentration camp.

I can try to enhance the
definition when I take him in.

He looks old enough. He would've
been a child back then, huh?

Yeah. Fax his prints to
German and Polish agencies.

Maybe they can help us.

Right.

Ranger Walker?

Larry Tekler, State Department.

Alex Cahill said I might be
able to track you down here.

Mr. Rodriguez.

Gentlemen, I'm gonna be brief.

As liaison for
the Mendoza visit,

I'm gonna need a full
report on that security fiasco

that occurred yesterday, ASAP.

What fiasco are you
talking about, Tekler?

Well, you could
start with the details

of the shortcomings of
the local law enforcement

that nearly got a foreign
dignitary murdered on our soil.

Colonel Mendoza's rally
was planned by Washington,

and not locally.

And the number of
unsolved crimes around here

grows every year. I suppose
that's Washington's fault too?

I warned your federal
boys to cancel this trip.

That's the first
I've heard of that.

I thought you said
you were the liaison.

I'm not the one with
the badge, am I?

That's right, you're not.

This isn't through, Walker.

Colonel Mendoza's a
hard-headed man, Walker.

He has no fear, and I am certain
that he will resume his schedule

just as you are certain that
Brouchard will resume his, huh?

We may have an edge here, Jess.

Brouchard didn't expect
us to find the body this soon.

Hombre, how long will it
be before we hear from these

European agencies, huh?

Soon, I hope.

(cell phone rings)

Walker.

Yeah, I got a make
on your Justin Grimes.

He's at 6701 Alamitos.

It's a flophouse
near the stockyards.

Got it.

Trivette, I want you
to contact Immigration.

Get a list of all male Europeans

who've arrived in Dallas
in the last 24 hours.

All right, you got it.

(buzzing)

Yeah?

We're looking for Justin Grimes.

Never heard of him.

If you never heard of him,

who's the J. Grimes
on the mailbox, huh?

You got me. They
come and they go.

Did I mention we have a warrant?

I'll go high, you go low.

I went low last time.

Yeah, but you're
younger than me.

Oh, by one year.

Grimes, open up. Texas Rangers!

(gunshot)

Hands up!

Drop the gun!

Drop the gun!

What's Brouchard's next move?

He's going to...

I don't understand, Walker.

How could he pull this off, huh?

He couldn't have
known we would be here.

This guy could.

TRIVETTE: You and
Walker seem close, Jess.

I asked him how
you two hooked up.

You know Walker, Trivette.

A man like him
doesn't say too much.

My brother was a
federale same time as me.

We were all on a
drug raid together.

You took a hit, right?

Not just me. Walker.

The whole team.
We were ambushed.

I was shot first,

and Walker took two bullets
trying to save my brother,

but it was too late.

My brother died
in Walker's arms.

And what Walker did that day,

putting his own life
on the line like that

for a federale he'd just met,

that's something
I will never forget.

Hey, looks like Jesse
was right about drug lords

bankrolling Brouchard.

A few years ago, Colonel
Mendoza led an army unit

in the capture of
Ernesto Espinoza.

He was a key player in the
Caribbean narcotics trade.

Mendoza personally
delivered Espinoza

to your government for trial.

We received a bulletin on
Espinoza not too long ago.

Rumor has it that
he's still running

the drug cartel from prison.

DEA says Espinoza's at
war with the Tampico cartel.

Cordell, I sure am glad
I caught you, by golly.

Well... Oh, C.D.
Parker, Jesse Rodriguez.

Jesse, it's a real
pleasure to meet you.

You and Cordell went through
the wars together, didn't you?

Yes, yes. I've heard a
lot about you too, C.D.

Well, it's nice to
know you. It sure is.

I just wanted to come by and
tell you about my nomination.

I'm excited as a June bride.

Yeah, it's a lifetime
achievement award.

Dallas Crime Prevention Council.

I'm a finalist.

Oh, really? TRIVETTE: All right.

Congratulations. Yeah,
well, it's not official,

but one of the guys on
the council leaked a little

information and... Oh, it's
gonna be tomorrow night now.

You promised you was gonna go.

I'll be there. I told you.
Okay, now, let's see.

I wanted you to help me
with this speech a little bit too.

I don't want it
to be too flowery,

but I do have to
thank the little people.

You mean, like Walker and
me. Well, of course, Jimmy.

I may not call you by name,
but you know who you are.

You know, C.D., we're in a
real rush. Can I catch you later?

Well, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah,
I'll catch you later.

I'll just go over this
thing with you, Jimmy.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

No, no. Wait, just... Jimmy.

Tom? Phil? Where
the hell did he go?

Ah, Ranger Walker.

It is an honor to shake the hand
of the man who saved my life.

Doing my job,
colonel, just like Jesse.

Please.

Well, I was saddened to learn

of the young
policeman's tragic death.

Any news?

We know the identity
of the assailant.

An international assassin.

His name is Philippe Brouchard.

Yes, I've heard of him.

We believe he's hiding
out somewhere in Dallas.

Are you certain?

Yes, sir.

We also believe that he's
working for Ernesto Espinoza.

Espinoza.

He's a determined man.

He will never
accept the rule of law,

nor any man who enforces it.

Yeah, that's why we would
like for you to go into seclusion

until we find Brouchard.

I'm sorry, but that
would be impossible.

Let me show you something.

(speaking in Spanish)

You understand what that means?

Yes, sir. It says that you're
hiding out somewhere in Dallas.

Rafael Mendoza never
hid from anything or anyone,

yet this is what my
people will read tomorrow.

You cannot help our
people if you are dead.

I cannot let my people
believe I am a coward.

I must stand up to Espinoza.

I understand you're going
to a charity tomorrow night.

Yes, raising money for the
Dallas Crime Prevention Council.

I'd like for you to cancel it.

Look, I appreciate your
concern, Ranger Walker,

but I cannot think of a more
powerful symbolic statement

than to honor the fine people
of Dallas at this moment.

I will be at the charity
ball tomorrow night.

Nothing can change that.

Yes, sir.

MAN: Welcome, gentlemen.

You all come highly
recommended through my sources.

I've studied your files.

I know your strengths.

I know your weaknesses.

Fortunately, those are few.

Each of you has
received a package

containing the
details of our operation

and an advanced fee.

The rest will be paid upon
completion of services.

What we don't have is your name.

My name will be Mr. White.

Each of you is assigned
a name in his package.

Mr. Green, Mr. Brown,
Mr. Blue, and so on.

You know us, but
we don't know you.

Precisely, Mr. Green.

Familiarize yourselves
with our objective.

We're going to need
split-second timing.

There is no room for failure.

( suspenseful theme playing)

WALKER: No sign
of Brouchard here.

TRIVETTE: Or anyplace else.

I've been manning
the phone all morning,

but only 20 male foreigners

checked in to Metroplex
hotels yesterday.

How many hotels left?

We got three. The Clarkson Arms,

the Dallas Palace
and the Emery Suites.

Let me ask you something.

You think we have Brouchard
pegged wrong this time?

Maybe he's not doing
the disguise thing.

Maybe he checked
into a $20 motel.

I don't think so.

(sighs)

What hotel on that list

has the finest wine
and restaurant?

Dallas Palace.

Brouchard, a
creature of comfort.

Let's check it out. All right.

( suspenseful theme playing)

CLERK: Five of the men on
your list are registered here.

Two traveling together, Misters
Schroeder and Rogiewicz,

and the others
checked in separately.

Gerda, Nemcek and Braun.

May I borrow this?

TRIVETTE: Walker.

I just talked to the ME.
Those prints ID'd our John Doe.

Name's Klaus Braun.

He's a German history professor,

67, survivor of a Nazi
concentration camp.

Hm. Klaus Braun, room 410.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(door beeps)

(Beethoven's "Sonata
No. 8" playing on stereo)

TRIVETTE: Beethoven's
"Sonata No. 8."

It's a nice touch.

(shuts off music)

All right, the guy survives
by paying attention to detail.

Hasn't been here very long.

There's not even a pair
of shoes on the floor.

Efficient, precise,

everything in its place.

That means he and my
mother would've been like this:

He was just here, Trivette.

Let's go.

Brouchard's around
here, Trivette.

I'll go this way.

(crowd chattering)

( tense theme playing)

(crowd chattering)

My professional
integrity tells me no.

But for another 5 million,
I'll make an exception.

( tense, mysterious
theme playing)

(crowd chattering)

Brouchard.

( dramatic theme playing)

( dramatic theme playing)

These are the blueprints
of the Fine Arts Center.

The guests will
be arriving at 7,

so we have to have the
bomb squad out by 6:30.

And Arlington P.D.'s
loaning us their canine unit.

What about metal detectors?

The Charity Board has asked
us to keep a low profile if we can.

We'll go with wands. Two
in the front, one in the back.

Who's checking
service personnel?

We're getting a
list of who's working

from the facility
manager and the caterer.

And Fine Arts Security
will check all ID's.

Here's a list of the
entourage that's arriving

with the band and the
master of ceremonies.

Walker, could I see
you and Mr. Rodriguez

for a minute, please?

What's up?

I just heard downstairs
that the Texas Rangers

have been taken
off security detail.

What are you talking about?

Apparently Larry Tekler
has contacted Washington,

and he's being put
in charge of security.

Does Colonel Mendoza
know about this?

No, and he won't
be happy about it.

But he does have
to go along with

whatever Washington arranges.

(workers chattering)

OFFICER: Okay, and
regarding identification, sir?

TEKLER: I want ID's checked on
anybody coming in and out of here.

And let's get padlocks on
every one of these doors

except for the main entrance.

Okay. You boys, come
with me, then. Right?

You can't do that, Tekler.

Fire code requires that
all exits be kept open.

That's not my problem.

If you're in charge,
it's your problem.

ALEX: It's also against the law.

We could enjoin the facility
from holding this event tonight.

Fine.

I'll take all the
locks off the doors.

Anything else you'd like?

Whose idea was it

to take the Rangers
off security?

That's mine. Brouchard's slipped
through Walker's fingers twice.

Since you can't seem
to get the job done,

now it's time for
me to take over.

You're an idiot, Tekler.

Hey, did you hear
what he just called me?

He was being kind.

You,

I don't want that Walker
anywhere near Mendoza.

Now, you got that clear?

Yes, sir, Mr. Tekler.
You got it.

All right, and
let's put padlocks

on every one of these doors now.

( ominous theme playing)

On schedule.

Proceed.

I'm gonna miss the
challenge, Walker.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(grunting)

Let's go.

(truck beeping)

NEWSCASTER: Scotland
Yard announced today

it has identified a suspect

in last week's
London assassination

of Russian dissident
scientist Yuri Kazmorov.

(bones crack)

Computer enhancement

from a crime-scene
surveillance camera

has produced the image of a
man investigators believe to be

Philippe Brouchard,

the notorious
international assassin.

Brouchard has been suspected

in more than a dozen
killings around the globe.

His whereabouts remain unknown.

Argh!

So, what do you think?

I think...

he's the most dangerous
man I've ever known.

(slow swing music playing)

(talking indistinctly)

(all chattering)

You know, this is really nice.

It's too bad Walker
couldn't make it.

He doesn't know
what he's missing.

Now, are you talking
about the charity ball,

or are you talking
about being with me?

Why, you, of course, darling.

(laughing) Well,

this old horse
can still cut a rug.

Checklist.

Green on board. Brown on board.

Blue on board.

Gray on board.

Red on board.

Black, Purple and
Orange on board.

(applause)

HOST: Good evening,
everyone, and welcome

to the Dallas Crime
Prevention Council's

Ninth Annual Fundraiser.

I'm Robert Andrews, your host.

Before we get started tonight,

I'd like to introduce
two very special guests.

First, the lieutenant governor
of Texas, Mr. John Tenner.

(applause)

And from Mexico,

presidential candidate
Colonel Rafael Mendoza.

Please stand.

MAN (on TV): He's a man of high
intelligence and unlimited cunning.

A man without any
known political affiliation

or loyalty.

Philippe Brouchard
is a mercenary

who kills for the
highest bidder.

(tape rewinding)

(applause)

Without any known
political affiliation or loyalty.

Philippe Brouchard
is a mercenary

who kills for the
highest bidder.

His knowledge of weapons
and explosives is extensive.

Miss Cahill, you look
lovely this evening.

You seem to be enjoying
yourself, Mr. Tekler.

I am enjoying myself.
What's not to enjoy?

Everything's going
according to plan,

and I don't see one
bellicose Ranger in sight.

Excuse me.

HOST: The emphasis
tonight, of course,

is on crime and money,

which means before it's over,

we're going to try
to pick your pocket

for the Crime
Prevention Council.

But right now, the man
that you have all come here

to see and hear tonight.

He is near and dear to
the heart of every Texan.

Please help me
welcome Mr. Ross Perot.

(applause)

(as Ross Perot) All
right then, let's see.

Oh, come on, now.

Give me a big Texas
welcome or I'll fire all of you.

(applause)

Now, it's great to be
here for the Ninth Annual

Dallas Crime Prevention
Council's Fundraiser.

Give us your dough,
and away they go.

(all laughing)

FRED: Let's remember one thing.

Our country is in deep bootie,

so you gotta lift the
hood to fix the engine.

And you gotta
measure twice, cut once.

(all laughing)
(speaking indistinctly)

Okay, Mendoza's got five public
appearances scheduled this week.

All right, two colleges, a
televised town meeting,

then he goes to Denton
for a stadium rally.

On Thursday, he's in Fort Worth

for an address to
the International...

It's going down tonight.

( dramatic theme playing)

(normal voice) Politics
is great for a guy like me,

because every four years,
somebody new comes along

that I can impersonate.

Now, you've got Bob Dole.

Every time the man speaks

sounds like trying
to find a radio station.

(as Bob Dole) I'm
gonna... Me... My...

Then you've got the
president of the United States.

He's here tonight. Bill Clinton.

(all laughing)

(as Bill Clinton) I got
the job, now what do I do?

(laughing)

How's everything
look out here? All set?

You know, I am so sick and tired

of people saying that I
am trying to emulate JFK.

I am not trying to emulate JFK.

(as John F. Kennedy) And
I'm sure, as time goes on,

people will see programs
of my administration

are the programs
that belong to me...

(as Clinton) and to nobody else.

I'll tell you the truth...

Keep a sharp eye out. Right.

( dramatic theme playing)

TRIVETTE: How do you know
it's gonna come down tonight?

WALKER: Because
if I was Brouchard,

I would.

(as Clinton) I keep hearing
I go backwards on things.

I don't go back...
(imitates reversing tape)

I don't go backwards
on anything.

( suspenseful theme playing)

Colonel. Mm?

Do not react in any way.
Please walk with me to the door.

FRED: my relationship with
Hillary, you know, the First Lady,

but I do think that we have
done a superlative job...

Excuse us. El colonel
has a telephone call.

I don't think so.

(gun cocks)

( dramatic theme playing)

FRED: I think that it's time
for people to understand

that they should step up
and be recognized, but...

(Fred laughing)

Well, excuse me,
son, but don't you know

it is impolite

to interrupt the president
of the United States?

(crowd laughs)

How funny do you think this is?

(gunshot)

( dramatic theme playing)

Oh, no. Oh, no.

Ladies and gentlemen...

let me introduce myself.
My name is Mr. White.

My associates and I have
completely sealed this building.

You are now our captives.

(crowd screaming)

Stay where you are, old man!

Unless you want to die.

( ominous theme playing)

( dramatic theme playing)

(sirens wailing)

This is Alan Duffy live
with our Action 5 minicam.

An incredible story
unfolding tonight

here at the Dallas
Fine Arts Center.

Police tell us terrorists
have seized the building

and are holding
Lieutenant Governor Tenner,

Mexican presidential
candidate Rafael Mendoza,

and nearly 200
guests as hostages.

The terrorists
demand the release

of imprisoned Central American
drug lord Ernesto Espinoza.

TEKLER: Somebody's gonna pay.

Look, I want this
entire facility sealed off!

Do you understand?

And my sharpshooters.
Where are my sharpshooters?

I want sharpshooters
up there on that roof!

Put a man on every
one of these corners.

What happened?

I should've figured
you'd show up.

I'm in charge. He
asked what happened.

What's it look like happened?

Brouchard took
over the building.

I need a battering
ram up there now.

You can't batter
your way in there.

Look, I didn't get where
I am by backing down,

and I'm not about
to back down now.

I'm surely not gonna hand
over to this man in here

a convicted drug lord.

What are you talking about?

Brouchard wants
Espinoza released

in exchange for the hostages.

That doesn't make sense.

Look, I'm in charge
here, Walker.

Will you let me figure that out?

He's gonna get somebody killed.

Mendoza busted
Espinoza a long time ago.

What's that about?

Brouchard came here
to take out Mendoza,

not trade for someone.

We gotta figure out
how to get in there.

I got an idea.

(all chattering)

MAN: Get down!

You're all behaving
extremely well.

You have my
heartfelt appreciation.

We know who you are, Brouchard.

Let them go. It's me you want.

No, colonel, it's
Ernesto Espinoza I want.

You and the lieutenant governor
are simply a means to an end.

I thought you wanted to kill me.

Well, I've changed my plans.

Now I want the release
of Espinoza from prison.

Then I'll kill you.

What about the rest of us?

( ominous theme playing)

He's gonna kill us, isn't he?

I just don't know.

He's crazy as a
peach-orchard boar.

( tense theme playing)

Ooh. You sure got here fast.

Like I said on the
phone, I'm in a hurry.

What have you got?

Hey, listen, hero, getting
into that building, Cordell,

that's no walk in
the park, you know.

I've been pushing the
old brain cells into action.

And seems to me

I might just have the answer
for you right back here.

Oh, good. I was
hoping you could help.

Well, don't count
your chickens yet.

But I surely do love to
tinker, you know. That's a fact.

They don't call me "Old
Wizard-Breath" for nothing.

Here we go.

Now, this is my
rocket-belt pack.

This'll launch a man

as high as the roof of
that Fine Arts building.

But why do you need it?

Well, if they have
guards on the roof,

they'd spot a chopper.

Well, there's a hitch, Cordell.

A hitch? Yeah, fact is,

I never did get around to
really testing the damn thing.

You haven't? No.

So you might wind up
on the moon, for all I know,

or a grease spot
on the pavement.

(sighs)

Well, we'll see.

(sighs)

Everything is under control.

Let them know that
we mean business.

You're not gonna believe this.

Tekler ordered a P.D. chopper
to put some men on the roof.

You can't put a
chopper up there.

I can and I will.

Brouchard will
have men up there.

In a minute, so will I.

( dramatic theme playing)

Agh!

(women scream)

Stupid...

You know, Cordell,

the more I think about this,

the less I like it.

Well, it's too
late now, Russell.

It's gonna take me hours

to teach you what
you need to know.

We don't have hours.
We have to do it now.

MAN: Go around to
the service entrance.

Your partner's a madman.

He's not gonna stand around

waiting for more
people to get murdered.

(cell phone rings) Neither am I.

BROUCHARD: Sending in the
chopper was stupid, Mr. Tekler.

Look, that was
out of my control.

I did not authorize
that assault on you.

Then I suggest
you act wisely now.

I'm waiting for
your reply, Tekler.

Are you releasing Espinoza?

That's certainly an option.

Look, I wanna work
with you, Brouchard.

No, you can't negotiate
with Brouchard.

First, I gotta know

what you're willing
to give up in return.

I told you, Tekler,

I'll give you the lives
of these hostages.

Look, why don't you just
send a few people outside first.

Show to my superiors
that you mean business?

You don't think I mean business?

That's easy.

No, no, no!

(screaming)

( woman screaming)

MAN: Hold it!
Somebody's coming out!

You all right?

Don't think about it.

Don't even think about
it or I'll kill the others.

Now, stay back. Stay back.

Get in there. Get in there!

You're unbelievable.

MAN: Sir, she's not breathing.

All right, you made
your point, Brouchard.

You have two hours to
turn over Espinoza to me.

Two hours? No, I can't.

There's no way that I'm
gonna get him by then.

Do it, Tekler, or another
hostage will be killed

every 15 minutes
past the deadline.

Tekler's not
listening to reason.

He's playing with
people's lives.

Brouchard has dumped
his first body out the front.

Just a minute. Hey!

Tell me you're not doing
what I think you're about to do.

If I get inside, I'll call you.

Walker, this is nuts.

Tell me about it.

Well, let's see what
this thing can do.

All right, all right.

Right is for throttle,

left is for turning. Okay.

(jet pack hissing)

You built that?

(chuckles)

( tense theme playing)

(gun cocks)

Move and you're dead.

Stand up slowly,

put your hands behind your head.

Do it or I'll blow
you away right here.

BROUCHARD: Red, report.

Red, report.

Station Red, report in now.

WALKER: Red, report.

You're cutting out, Red.
Report back in ten minutes. Out.

( ominous theme playing)

MAN: Get down.

What do you think is
gonna happen to us?

I wish I could tell
you something

that would make
you feel better, Alex.

These snakes are
capable of anything.

That doesn't give us much hope.

Not until they make a mistake.

Walker said Philippe Brouchard
never makes a mistake.

Oh, no.

They all make a
mistake sooner or later.

Shut up, old man.

( ominous theme playing)

( suspenseful theme playing)

(cell phone rings) Walker?

Trivette, I'm in.

You had us worried out here.

Cordell, did the belt work okay?

It was quite a ride, Russell.

Gotta go.

What did he say?

He's okay. He's okay.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(high-pitched hissing)

( high-pitched hissing)

(grunting)

(high-pitched hissing)

Station to teams, report.

Station to teams, report.

Station to Brown, report.

Brown reporting.

( ominous theme playing)

Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy,
here comes trouble.

Ranger Trivette?

What?

What's this I hear about Walker
catapulting himself to the roof?

It was more like
flying than catapulting.

Oh, it was exhilarating,
if I do say so myself.

I want that lunatic back
down here immediately.

Can't do it. He's
already inside.

But he can't do that.

You don't know my
partner very well, do you?

I'll have his badge for this.

Working in direct
violation of my orders.

It's time you figured
out something.

Walker doesn't work
for you and neither do I.

I could have you written
up for that, Ranger.

Need a pen?

The wuss.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(grunting)

(faintly): Get me outta here!

Hey, open the door!

Untie them and
go hide someplace.

( tense theme playing)

Ranger Walker.

You continue to amaze me.

Yes, I know your name, Walker,

from the television
reports of your heroic act.

Saving Mendoza's life.

I know all about you, Walker.

I thought we might be meeting
again so I researched you.

All about your
impressive achievements

with the Texas Rangers.

Unfortunately, Walker,

all that is about to end.

You should've spent
more time planning

and less researching, Brouchard,

because I'm gonna take you down.

You're good, Walker, but
you're not as good as I am.

We'll see, won't we?

( dramatic theme playing)

WARDEN: I can't believe
anybody would sign off on this.

Got a lot of lives
at stake, warden.

Ernesto Espinoza,

Sergeant James Trivette
of the Texas Rangers.

He'll be escorting
you back to Dallas.

Well, well. Go Long Trivette.

Dallas Cowboy wide receiver.

I'm a football fan.

I'd better not try

escaping on foot, verdad?

Not if you know
what's good for you.

Oh, but I do, Ranger.

That's why I always hire
the best men to work for me,

like Philippe Brouchard.

It's a work of art

how he's making
it happen, isn't it?

Gotta pull it off first.
Thanks, warden.

I'm a confident man,
Ranger. Are you?

( suspenseful theme playing)

(blows landing)

Mr. Brouchard.

Mr. Brouchard, please.

There's no need to endanger
these innocent people.

I don't remember asking
you, lieutenant governor.

I know, but I have to speak out.

You have Colonel Mendoza and me.

Let the rest go.

Gag him.

If he gives you
any trouble, kill him.

(hostages murmuring)

(woman gasps)

C.D., what are we gonna do?

Over to my right, a
knife under the table.

No, can't.

I don't know what to do.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(grunts)

( dramatic theme playing)

Trivette, what's our status?

Tekler went for the trade.

I'm en route with
Espinoza right now.

How about you?

Well, Brouchard
knows I'm inside.

He just doesn't know where.

How are C.D. and Alex?

They're fine so far.

All right, we're almost there.

What's the plan?

As soon as I get
Brouchard in the clear

I'm gonna take him down.

Cutting it close, aren't you?

Brouchard gave you a deadline.

Believe me, he'll
not waiver from that.

Whatever.

Philippe is an incredible man.

Human life means nothing to him.

He'll kill everyone

if he gets cornered
by the police.

That's unlike you, right?

As I remember,

you didn't put
up much of a fight

when Mendoza took you down.

Hey, I never claimed
to be a bright man,

nor stupid.

(chuckling)

( dramatic theme playing)

We're not sure exactly

what's here
tonight at this point

but we'll be back just as soon
as we know more about this.

(helicopter whirring outside)

(hostages
whispering indistinctly)

(gun cocks)

I'm impressed, sir.

Staring into the
face of death itself

and still defiant.

I been watching punks like you

for most of my adult life.

I'm a Texas Ranger.

Ain't nothing remarkable
about you, punk.

What did you think you
were going to do with a knife?

Ranger?

Take me?

Well, that thought
did cross my mind.

Could be interesting.

Pick up the knife.

( tense theme playing)

Pick up the knife, old man.

I'll just take a pass on it.

We'll fight another day.

Pick up the knife,
you stupid old man.

Hold him.

Here's your knife, old man.

(hostages gasp)

(hostages scream)

The man needs help, Brouchard.

I'll give him 30
minutes, if he's lucky.

Did you see that, Walker?

I wonder if the old man
was a friend of yours?

Too bad.

(hostages murmuring)

Get into the
catwalk. Check it out.

( dramatic theme playing)

(hostages screaming)

(blows landing, man grunting)

(man yelling)

(crashing)

Oh, you are good, Walker.

That was a clever little stunt.

But my men will
get you eventually.

I'm just warming up, Brouchard.

Too bad your
plan is falling apart.

You have no idea
what my plan is, Walker.

Why don't you tell me?

You'll find out soon enough.

( ominous theme playing)

( dramatic theme playing)

(cracking)

( suspenseful theme playing)

(grunting)

(grunting)

Time to go to sleep, Walker.

(gasping, grunting)

Aagh!

(grunting)

BROUCHARD (on radio):
Time is drawing near, Walker.

If Espinoza isn't
here in ten minutes,

would you like to know who
my next victim is going to be?

A very close friend
of yours, I believe.

(gasps)

Tell him your name, (
tense theme playing)

or I shoot you now.

ALEX: It's Alex.

BROUCHARD: Were you listening?

Cordell will follow
you to the gates of hell.

I don't care who you shoot,

punk.

Shut up, old man.

(panting)

( action theme playing)

Fourth down, Ranger.

Miles to go.

Game's not over yet, Espinoza.

(phone rings)

TEKLER: Okay, Brouchard,

we've got Ernesto
Espinoza as promised.

Wonderful, Tekler.

Now arrange for the exchange
of hostages as we agreed.

(whispering inaudibly)

He's getting worse.

He's going into shock.

Tough old man. I thought
he'd be dead by now.

Walker, I know you're listening.

You wanted to know
what my plan was.

Well, now you're gonna find out.

Shall we dance, colonel?

Aagh.

The hostage situation
appears to have taken

a turn for the worse.

( tense theme playing)

(phone rings)

I'm waiting, Tekler.

Why don't I see Espinoza?

Before anything goes down,

my superiors want
20 hostages released.

Don't play with me, Tekler.

TEKLER: Look, it's out
of my hands, Brouchard.

Washington wants
a sign of good faith.

Ten.

Twenty.

All right, the first ten alive,

the rest not.

Brouchard, for God's sake.

It doesn't get
better, boy scout.

Take it or leave it.

Okay, okay.

Ten.

What about Colonel Mendoza
and the lieutenant governor?

Don't get greedy, Tekler.

Espinoza must be released first.

(excited chatter)

Bring me ten people. Now.

(nervous chatter)

Shh.

It won't be long now, colonel.

(chatter on police radio)

(indistinct shouting, gasping)

COP: All right.

I know how they feel.

Freedom. I can taste it.

Don't get used to it.

Brouchard wants his
buddy released. Now.

( suspenseful theme playing)

Walker.

Where are you?

I'm not going in like this.

See you around, Ranger.

Excuse me.

My friend.

(laughing)

I knew that you could do it.

So did I, Ernesto.

Ugh! Aagh!

It's your turn now, colonel.

Brouchard!

(grunts)

(both grunt)

Do something. Get
in there. Get him!

(all shouting)

( action theme playing)

I'm okay, I'm okay. Get him.

(panting)

(all shouting indistinctly)

Your friend Walker
made me look a fool.

You didn't need any help.

Get him, get him, get him.

COP 1: Don't move!

COP 2: Get him, get him.

Get on the ground. Now.

(all shouting indistinctly)

COP 3: Spread 'em.

Alex?

Jimmy, over here.

Get me a paramedic
up here right now.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(quiet grunts)

(fans humming)

(footsteps approaching)

Never met a man
like you, Walker.

That goes both ways, Brouchard.

Why did you take out Espinoza?

Well, the Tampico cartel

offered me another five million.

Couldn't pass that up.

Mendoza got away.
You're slipping.

That's what they're gonna
be saying about you, Walker,

when I escape.

It's not gonna happen.

We'll see about that, Walker.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(explosion)

Too bad. We'd have
made a good team.

(gun cocks)

(sirens blaring)

(panting)

(coughs)

(man coughs)

(gasps)

Sorry.

(man coughing)

(door opens)

(door closes)

Have you seen any strangers?

No.

Right here, Frank.

(speaks indistinctly)

Has a stranger
come through here?

Mm-mm.

(speaking indistinctly)

(grunting)

(all gasping)

(gasping)

(panicked chatter)

(grunting)

( tense theme playing)

( triumphant theme playing)

(woman speaking indistinctly)

(snoring)

(whispers): He's asleep.

Coochie-coo.

(mutters)

Oh, golly, well, I'm
glad to see you all.

C.D., I just wanted to say
goodbye and congratulations.

Your award is
beautiful. You bet. Yes.

You get well soon.
Good luck to you.

Thank you very
much. All right, Jesse.

Goodbye, Alex.

Amigo, you take
care. See you, Jesse.

Okay. Adiós.

(chuckles)

We are so proud of you
for winning this award.

Thank you. TRIVETTE:
Yeah, we're sorry

you didn't get a chance
to give your speech.

Yeah, yeah, I am too.

You know, I spent two weeks
on that doggone speech.

Nobody heard it. Listen, I
want you all to hear that speech.

Oh, don't we... Yeah.
You know what? I have to...

I need your testimony.
I got that deposition.

I got to move my car
so you guys can get out.

Oh, no. No, no, no.
Hell, no. Listen to me.

All three of you sit down.

You're gonna
listen to that speech.

I put too much work into it.

( mellow theme playing)

(clears throat): Let me see now.

Uh, ladies and gentlemen,

distinguished
guests, fellow Texans,

members of the Dallas
Crime Prevention Council.

It is with a great
deal of humility

that I accept this award.

(clears throat)

I started my law career
about 30 years ago

in a small county in East Texas.

And all lawmen
stand far and large.

We must look and
see that respect.

That seems to be the
bottom line. Respect.

Hey.

Hey!

Damn, you all haven't
heard a word I said.

Hello?

Hello?

(sighs)

Shoot.

I might as well have
done this in the shower.
