Listen, DPS and the election board made up their minds, man.
I can't This - LIAM: So, what? - JAMES: Look, we're really hoping that you'll stay on as A.
D.
A.
Stay on as A.
D.
A.
? - Do you realize how humiliating - Liam, you have - to look at the big picture here.
- Hey.
- I'm looking at the big picture.
- The situation is - what it is.
- WALKER: Guys, what's going on? Is this about the, uh, D.
A.
appointment? - Tell him.
- Yeah, uh The position's been filled.
- Okay.
- (DOOR OPENS) Ranger Walker, I believe you already know our new D.
A.
, Denise Davidson.

- DENISE: Davidson Miller.
It's been a long time.
Yeah.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Ranger Walker.
Cordi! Daddy! Grandma! (GASPING) Didn't realize you had come back.
Yeah, whole family.
Well, my-my mom and my son.
We bought our old place back.
I don't know if you remember, but my mother can just be Demanding, yeah.
You Uh, I That came out wrong.
I-I I was gonna say "a real bitch," so let's go with "demanding.
" - (CHUCKLES) - JAMES: I was hoping you can get her up to speed on all our cases.
Course, Cap.
Yes, sir.
That'd be great.
Whenever you're ready.
(WALKER CLEARS THROAT) What just happened? Finally, this is Ranger Ramirez's desk, who's, uh, currently away on assignment.
Um, safe to say she's following up on the shooting in Austin since she left the next day.
She's been gone about three months.
I heard you were gone about a year.
Did you two get close? Do - Do-do you mean, did we ? - I-I mean I'm trying to decide if you should be involved in Ranger Ramirez's case in the event that it does, in fact, involve Stan Morrison and Northside Nation.
Yeah, we got close.
I mean, Micki's my-my partner.
We've been through a lot together.
And, honestly, I-I've become really close with her boyfriend, Trey, since she left.
I mean, we jog together.
We barbecue together.
- We watch (CHUCKLES) - Wow, I-I remember this.
You.
Always the oversharer.
(BOTH CHUCKLE) I'm not trying to overshare.
I'm just saying I'm-I'm keeping an eye on him, - making sure he's all right.
- Well, it sounds like you are close.
We'll have to keep that in mind if you're gonna continue to work together.
Fair enough.
Uh, wh-what about us? We've known each other since we were kids, and I imagine the D.
A.
's office and the Rangers will be working closely together.
- A lot's happened since we were kids.
- Right.
So, why don't both of us just put the past behind us.
Okay? Looking forward to working with you, Ranger Walker.
JAMES: If you're gonna stay, things need to change.
No more skipping check-ins.
All right? And you're gonna have to give me a little more Intel than talking about stealing some dude's car back.
What's this guy's name again? (SIGHS) Matt Phillips.
We call him Spider.
Of course you do.
- How'd you get close to him? - (SIGHS) He's ex-military.
Lover of trivia.
- It's a match made in undercover heaven.
- Can you connect him to the Austin sniper? No.
Uh, not yet.
- I'm not even sure he's the shooter.
- Okay.
Then what do you have, Micki? - You've been down here three months.
- Okay, listen, I might not be in Serano's inner circle yet, but we both know he's the one calling the shots down here.
And if I can get Spider talking me up to him, then I am one step closer.
Sir, I just need more time.
There it is.
You need more time.
I have heard that one before.
Look, I just (EXHALES) I don't want to make the same mistake twice, okay? I don't want to leave you in play too long.
Yeah, I know.
But you recruited me because you saw that I didn't give up.
"To know the line is to toe the line.
" That's what you said.
How's he doing? Who, Walker? He's, uh You know, he's Walker.
He's good.
He's in a good place.
Well, at least till this new D.
A.
came along.
It's It's a story for another time.
Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on him while you're gone.
He misses you, you know.
Asks about you all the time.
Does he know? About your theory that he was the target and not just Stan? Hell no.
Like I said, I'm keeping an eye on him while you're gone.
And, Micki check in, please.
- Yes, sir.
- All right.
(EXHALES) - (SCHOOL BELL RINGS) - (CAR DOOR CLOSES) Hey, do you mind if I pick the music on the ride home? I-I think I might start a music podcast.
What the hell? Wait, uh, what's wrong with that? No, our car.
Hey! You keyed my car because you didn't get your precious parking spot? What is your problem? Oh, you're Stella, right? And you're Arlo or whatever.
Yeah, the Walkers.
Hear you always blame other people for the messes they make, so this tracks.
Now just go home.
Tell your Ranger daddy to arrest me and just get out of my way, okay? - You stalk my family online or something? - (SCOFFS) Who are you? Well, I-I'm Colton.
And I've heard enough about you to know that you're an entitled little princess, - so, please, just get out - (AUGUST GRUNTS) - (GASPS) - Listen, back up.
- Hey! No! August.
- It's my problem.
Back up.
It's mine.

Is this guy really a Texas Ranger? Colton Davidson, zip that mouth, or you're going to military school.
(SCOFFS SOFTLY) Yeah, I I-I-I punched him, but only because - he was - Stop.
Apologize.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) A-Are you serious? Fine.
(INHALES DEEPLY, CLEARS THROAT) You know what? I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that I beat you up.
You know what I mean? - (CHUCKLES) You know what I mean? - (STELLA CHUCKLES) Yeah, what'd you say to her? Clearly, he's sticking up for his sister, so what'd you say? Well, I just said she's an entitled princess and their family blamed other people for their problems.
- Wow.
- What, am I wrong? (SCOFFS) He has been talking to his grandmother again.
- I'm so sorry.
- So, your families know each other? - We-we-we We-we did.
Uh, do.
Did.
Did.
- Yeah, uh, kind of.
- Yeah, uh - DENISE: Uh, yeah, we did.
- We, um, we're neighbors.
- It was, uh a long time ago.
- (CLEARS THROAT) - TREY: Right.
Okay, but, for now, is this gonna be a problem while your kids are in school together? No, sir.
It will not be a problem.
HEANEY: Well, there's still the matter of an appropriate punishment.
DENISE: Uh, yeah.
That's usually my arena.
How about detention? For all three of them.
What did I do? Sounds fair.
But your son should pay for the damages.
Mom, I-I didn't do it.
Stop.
Uh, no witnesses, but we'll split the repairs.
- Deal.
- HEALEY: Good.
I'm glad that could be worked out.
But let me end by saying this.
Whatever history you all have? Work it out.
Now.
Before this gets any worse.
All right? Thank you, Principal.
("RISE UP" BY NDIDI O PLAYING) All right, what 1992 film did Marisa Tomei win - for Best Supporting Actress? - My Cousin Vinny.
- My Cousin Vinny.
Aw, that's too easy.
- (CHUCKLES) You know, the, uh, the rumor is that the presenter, Jack Palance, read the wrong name.
Well, that rumor sucks.
- Because Marisa Tomei is perfection in that movie.
- Yeah.
Agreed.
I'm just saying.
(CHUCKLES) Yo, whoever thought, uh, Morgan was a trivia buff? Two-dollar beers, Yvette.
(SCOFFS) Hmm.
I got a trivia question for you.
Mm-hmm? Who was the one that got away? (CHUCKLES) This again? Oh, come on, just indulge me.
I saw the look.
I know you're hiding something.
(PHONE CHIMES) - Rise up - Rise up You, uh, you make that drop earlier? Or did you manage to mess that up, too? Get low (LAUGHS) Yo, a couple years ago, I would've had you shaking in your boots.

Anytime I come around - Mmm.

For me to put in a good word with Serano.
So I'm going to.
Every time we You're on your way up.
Be careful.
Let's rise up Oh, together, we'll rise on up.
TREY: I knew a girl with a smile like yours once.
- Yeah? Is that so? - That is so.
It's funny, I never imagined I'd see that smile on a stranger in some random bar on a trivia night.
So, what made you choose this one? I love trivia.
So did she.
Been looking for the right trivia night for a couple weeks now.
Since that girl stopped calling.
Vanished.
Wherever she went, I just hope that she's okay.
(VOICE BREAKING): I really hope that girl of yours comes home.
I really do.
(BREATHES DEEPLY) (EXHALES) I love you.
But leave.
Leave now.

Hey.
Come on, stinker.
Let's, uh, let's call it a night.
Oh, don't treat me like a kid.
Okay? You know, she did that to me earlier.
Denise.
It was just like elementary school.
She's telling me to get lost while you're off catching fireflies or wishing on stars or whatever you're doing.
All righty.
(CLEARS THROAT) LIAM: And now she stole my job.
- She stole it.
- GERI: Yeah.
Who am I? Am I Rudolph? - I can't play any reindeer games? - I-I-I get it.
Why don't we, uh, you know, just take a breath, give it a chance, - try and keep the peace.
- Keep the peace? (CHUCKLES) With the Davidsons? - Good luck.
- Seriously? - Are you on his team now? - I remember you telling me stories when I first moved here.
About Denise Davidson, who wouldn't invite Hoyt to her birthday parties - because he lived on Rundberg Lane.
- Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
What is that? Or what about Marv? Marv Davidson, who stole your family's ranch hands.
- Marv.
- GERI: Also, didn't Gale Davidson blame you for the fire - that night? - WALKER: Okay, you're obviously a-an incredible listener.
- Thanks.
- I'll remember that.
But my point is I-I don't want to, uh, just, you know, kick up the dust on some old family feud.
I am finally ready to keep the past - in the past.
- It's too late for that.
- Hey.
- Well, you guys weren't just talking about my wife's family by any chance, were you? - We-we, uh - DENISE: Hey.
- We can go somewhere else.
- WALKER: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- It's fine.
- Is it? Yes.
Uh, hey.
Cordell Walker.
This is my friend Geraldine and my brother Liam.
I'm Dan Miller.
Oh, so, you're Liam Walker.
I heard about the election.
That's-that's wild.
I mean, you lost to a guy who was on trial for murder? - (CHUCKLES) - DENISE: Okay, let's just go find another bar, please.
No, no, no.
No.
Please.
Know what? It's all right.
Coming a little hot, but why don't you guys have a seat.
Drinks on me.
Drinks on the house.
Oh, this-this is your bar.
- Yeah.
- DAN: And you own - the land that was once ours.
- (LIAM CHUCKLES) Oh, a-and you.
(CHUCKLES) You think you won the D.
A.
's office that no one wanted you in - to begin with.
- Okay.
That's not really your fight.
And not really appropriate here.
(GRUNTS) Do you know who that is? Okay, Liam, let's just - That That is Denise.
- GERI: Let's just sit down.
Come on.
Denise the deer.
- Named after our Travis County D.

- You think that's funny? Is that a joke? Take it down.
- No, no, it's not - It's not f It was an inside joke.
- Do you think that's funny? - Take it down.

- Okay.
Okay, calm down.
- Please calm down.
- So show some respect and take it down.
Would you please calm down.
You don't know - what you're talking about.

Calm down.
Don't go anywhere.
Stay here, please.
Have a good night.
Good night.
(CLEARS THROAT) - (EXHALES) - Hey.
Yeah.
He certainly takes pride in the Davidson name, huh? Yeah, well, he doesn't come from much, so family means a lot to him.
And Denise the deer, which is a boar.
I That's subjective.
We were drinking.
It was a long time ago.
I I'm sorry.
(CHUCKLES) (CHUCKLES) Of all the honky-tonk bars - in all the towns in all the world - Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
I know.
Uh, first, uh, with the kids at school before and now this, doesn't seem like anybody's too eager to fly the peace flag anytime soon, does it? Not as such.
- Not as such.
- I What does your brother even know about that night? - About the fire? - Yeah.
I'm not sure.
I mean, he-he was, what, eight, nine? I mean, honestly, I don't even know what I remember.
You? I remember what I was told.
Yeah.
(EXHALES) You know what? Why don't we try and get ahead of all this.
You know, like, the-the problems, the issues between our families.
Um, you know, try and move on.
Maybe we can meet.
Uh, a peace summit.
Meet on neutral ground and Yeah.
Uh, why not The Side Step.
The Really? Sure.
We could erase some bad memories.
- (CHUCKLES) - (CHUCKLES): Make some new ones.
- (INHALES) - Let's do it.
- Okay.
I'll tell my family.
And see you then.
- Okay, great.
- Okay.
- See you.
- (SIGHS) - (EXHALES) - Hey.
- Hey.
- Uh - (CAR DOOR CLOSES) - (ENGINE STARTS) - Sure this isn't how you wanted to run a business.
- Ah.
- Uh, sorry.
Um Hey, you're not actually taking Denise down? Oh, God, no.
No, no, no, no.
She was a gift from Emily, so Denise stays.
- Yeah.
Good.
- Hey, will you lock up for me? - Of course.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- GERI: Good night.
Good night, Geri.
Trey.
My bodyguard.
(LAUGHS) Hey, thank you for earlier.
I-I think I would have ended up with a nice shiner if it weren't for you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You all right? I saw her.
You saw her-her, who? Micki? You You went to her? I know.
I know, but she's been MIA.
And, look, I've been in the trenches with her, and this Th-This what? You don't know this.
You can't know this.
- Okay.
Clear.
Clear.
- All right? But she's down there because of you.
To save you.
That sniper wasn't just targeting Stan.
You were the first shot.
(EXHALES) - How long you known this? - It-it doesn't matter.
What matters is that you help get her out of this.
Hey.
Please.
All right.
(EXHALES) Well, I didn't make your power greens chia whatnot because I thought hash browns and diesel oil might sit better.
- You didn't have to do that.
- BONHAM: Well, there's a couple things you didn't have to do, either.
Why don't you help me understand a couple things.
Okay? That fire.
Denise and Cordi were there.
Everybody has a different version - of what happened.
- Son, it was an accident.
Yeah, but they blamed us for it.
If I remember, I feel like they tried to sue us? ABELINE: Yes.
And it was all settled in court.
And I seem to remember the whole experience sparking the young lawyer in you.
Yeah, I haven't thought about that in a long time.
Neither have I.
Well, now they're back, and BONHAM: Like we said, it was settled.
Yeah, but, Mom, Dad, clearly, it wasn't.
I mean, Dan was screaming that Marv died saving Cordell.
So they still blame us for his death.
I mean, do you ever wonder if there was more to it? - Is that painting a little sideways? - ABELINE: Your drunken brain is sideways! You're right.
(SIGHS) Excuse me.
How you feeling this morning? Top-notch.
(CHUCKLES) Well, I am getting things in order around here.
And as far as cases go, I'm gonna need you off Del Rio.
Because of what happened last night? I didn't need last night to tell me anything I didn't already know.
I mean, you covering Del Rio, your brother's partner It's just a conflict of interest.
Or it's a case that I have a lot of Intel on.
Which I will gratefully accept.
But I'm trying to clean things up around here, and I can't be dirtying it with the Brothers Walker and your murky life choices.
Um, do you think that we should pull Ramirez? Are you kicking me off the case, or are you asking my opinion? (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) I'm allowed to do both.
(CHUCKLES) - JAMES: Walker.
- WALKER: Hey, Cap.
Uh, saw I missed your call.
- Just checking in.
- Yeah.
Um You talk to Trey lately? Yeah.
Uh, you know, little bit.
Uh, running buddies and whatnot.
Right.
Cool.
Did he say anything about Micki? WALKER: Just the usual.
Uh, misses her.
Wishes he knew more.
And then, frankly, I-I wish we could tell him more, but I get it, you know? Uh, it is what it is.
Mm-hmm.
Where you heading now? Uh, my, uh (CLEARS THROAT) My old man requested ribs.
All right.
Well, - better feed that man, then.
- WALKER: Yes, sir.
Will do.
Talk soon.
Okay.
(LINE DISCONNECTS) (DOOR CLOSES) (GRUNTING) - Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey, hey.
- Walker? - What the hell? - Oh, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'm here to save you.
Look, um, bad news, all right? I think I was followed here.
Or-or maybe you.
Yeah, let's go with you.
- Yeah.
- I hate you.
I missed you too, Flor.
Whoever followed me, whoever's out there could be the killer who took out Spider.
(CLEARS THROAT) Or, uh killers.
Plural.
I got another guy coming up the south side.
- You think they made me? - I think we should get.
ASAP.
Let's go.
(GRUNTING) Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Hey.
- Randall? - RANDALL: Yeah.
Hey! What (STAMMERS) You Wait, you're You're a-a-a Ranger now? When did that happen? - RANDALL: Yeah.
Two weeks ago.
- WALKER: Two Yeah.
There was a barbecue? (CHUCKLES): The bar The barbecue was for you? - RANDALL: Yeah.
- WALKER: Dude, good on you.
Um, what are, what are, what are what are you doing here? James got me following your ass.
It's a good thing.
We got company.
Guys.
Morgan's out there.
Del Rio.
He might have made me, and I think he's here to clean up shop.
But I think I still might have a chance.
- I need to get back out there.
- WALKER: No, no, - no, no, no.
Wait, wait, what? - I'm close to connecting with Serano, proving he's behind the Austin shooting and shutting this whole damn thing down.
Look, Morgan was back at the bar when Spider was killed.
If my cover was blown, he would have taken me down then.
- Trust me on this.
- Uh I am too close to turn back.
- Or maybe you're just too close.
- (DOOR CLOSES) Okay, look, now's a good time to call the play.
Okay.
This will only hurt for a minute.
(WALKER GRUNTS) (GRUNTING) Hey! - On him! I'm on him! I'm on him! - Go! Stop right there! (GRUNTS) Don't move.
- (LINE RINGS) - GERI: Side Step.
Hey, Geri.
It's Bonham Walker.
- Hey.
- BONHAM: Yeah, listen, I'm guessing there's a whole flock of Davidsons sitting there right now looking pretty gloomy at the bar.
- Yes, sir.
- BONHAM: Well, we're supposed to have some kind of a family summit per Cordell.
Hmm.
And let me guess.
- He's-he's a no-show.
- BONHAM: There it is.
- Mm-hmm.
- BONHAM: Geraldine, would you please give the Davidsons a round, put some food in that boy of theirs and, well, hell, put it on our tab? We're gonna put this whole thing to rest for the night.
Of course, sir.
You know I'm a Walker through and through.
Thank you, darling.
- Morgan tailed you here.
- And now - he's in custody.
Thank you for that.
- Sure.
Yeah, I mean, that bought you a couple hours, right? Couple days, maybe? But when he gets out, you don't think he's gonna tell them about Yvette De la Cruz's escape? Or what about the fact that Serano clearly has no trouble - picking off his own people? - Yeah.
I considered all of this, Walker.
Believe it or not, I've trained for it, the same as you, and I am telling you I'm close.
Serano's suspicious, fine.
One of his men just disappeared.
Morgan is gonna smell like a big, fat traitor to him.
- Until he gets out and talks.
- Or I get to Serano first, which is what I've been trying to do.
For you.
- Yeah, I know.
- I figured.
Figured.
And you're pissed.
But guess what? We did it because we know what you would have done.
- No.
You don't know me.
(CHUCKLES) - No? No? - No, you don't - I actually hate how much I know.
The way you were when you came back.
All dark and rogue and unhinged, you name it.
I know.
And maybe worse, I get it.
Which is why I can't let it happen again.
Exactly.
And I can't, either.
So why the hell would I let you - do the same damn thing to yourself? - (PHONE CHIMES) Well, it's on.
Serano just asked me to dance.
- WALKER: Me and Micki are both in Del Rio now.
- I don't know.
Keeping you in sounds like too much of a risk, Micki.
They'll have a 72-hour hold on Morgan, maybe.
What if he talks? If he talks, he still doesn't know my name.
I kicked Walker's ass, and I ran.
Uh, that was a plan we made together.
We had talked about it beforehand.
- Mm.
- DENISE: Which was smart.
I think Ramirez stays in.
WALKER: Okay.
Then I'm in, too.
Uh, only if we close this together.
- (MOUTHS) - Just don't start any fires, Cordi.
Yep.
(CLEARS THROAT) I'm sorry, Coach.
Man, do I wish you were still my star player.
What're you getting yourself into, Little Walker? (EXHALES) I think I'm still messed-up about stuff that happened last year.
- That's fair.
- And when it comes to family, it's just like I get aggro now.
I just I don't want something to happen again.
Yeah, I-I get that.
And, also, I'm supposed to think about college and decide my entire, like, life path? How do I do that? Well, there are steps.
It's a process, Stella.
Yeah, but people have been processing this for a very long time and have jobs lined up for, like, 2026.
- (CHUCKLES): Oh, that's intense.
- (CHUCKLES) Look, there are always people like that.
Doesn't mean that's the correct answer on the quiz of life.
Not to sound cheesy.
It did, though.
- Just a little bit.
(CHUCKLES) - Yeah, it did.
Stel, I went through three jobs in the past year alone.
It's okay to take a minute to figure things out.
Okay.
I'm just I'm freaking a little because my dad didn't come home last night, which never feels great.
AUGUST: Stella, don't worry.
It's a case case, not a Duke case, all right? - He's coming back.
- Who's Duke? - I don't really want to talk about Dad.
- COLTON: Yeah, I don't want - to talk about Mom.
- Awesome.
Let's not talk about either of them.
We'll all be better off.
- Yeah.
- (PHONE CHIMES) (VEHICLE APPROACHING) (ENGINE TURNS OFF) I admire it so much.
I really do.
How you care for the land.
I'll have to ask your advice when we're really up and running.
I-I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry that we weren't able to make it.
It's all good.
So, - you're really taking it all back on again, huh? - (SIGHS) Well, we've been gone from here too long.
It matters to family.
- You understand.
- Yeah.
(CLEARS THROAT) Yeah.
Yeah.
Certainly a lot of work to do.
- (CHUCKLES) Yeah.
- (CHUCKLES) There was, uh, chaos around here, I heard.
That never looks good.
And the barn.
Well No one ever did rebuild that barn.
(EXHALES) Well (CLEARS THROAT) I will give you a call when I start the gardens.
Yeah, you You know what you're doing.
Knee-deep in dirt.
- (CAR DOOR CLOSES) - (ENGINE STARTS) (ENGINE TURNS OFF) Here they come.
WALKER: There's the boss himself, Serano.
(CAMERA CLICKS) Hey, who's the other guy? WALKER: Micki? You okay? Micki, who is that? Who's the other guy? It's the one that got away.
