Walker, Texas Ranger s02e13 Episode Script

Last week on Walker, Texas Ranger: - Why are you driving fast? - The accelerator's stuck.
- Get your foot off it! - I am.
This is the first I’ve heard of an individual trying to take out Rangers.
Whoever this drug kingpin is, he's taking it personal.
- What's his name? - Curt Nypo.
- Run a make on him.
- You got it.
I’d like you to meet Professor Peter Needham.
Nice meeting you, fellas.
Alex can date anyone she wants to.
It doesn't matter to me.
According to these, two girls were raped in that same parking garage.
And it was the same exact set of circumstances.
Girl's alone, coming from class.
Empty stairwell.
A friend was raped.
I’ve been spooked.
Rumor is he was one of the professors.
- You all right? - Yeah, I’m fine.
OK.
Dating professors, it's happened.
But come on, it's highly unlikely.
We'd like to try your personnel file.
He probably started in the spring.
You don't like women much, do you, Stan? I love 'em.
When they know their place.
- Hi, Laura.
- Where's Tony? - Kid you were gonna make room for? - Didn't show up.
It’s a stupid idea, this karate crap.
My mom's boyfriend was some kind of champ, and he's a certified jerk.
So, you wanna learn karate? I’ll teach you karate.
See how good it works? - You Tony's father? - No, me and Tony's mom are engaged.
The kid here don't make it any easier, either.
I give him a job delivering for my business, he's never on time.
You're dealing with Cordell Walker.
Don't underestimate him.
He's the best they've got.
The Rangers will be dead within 24 hours.
Nobody's down there, Ranger.
Bottom's clear.
Where the hell could he be? We could dredge the lake, but that'll have to wait.
Keep divin'.
- Sir! - What? We found this on the dock.
Thanks.
Wake him up.
Let's do it! Come on, baby! Seven out.
No five.
You guys got an invitation? Yeah, written by hand.
All right, baby.
Bring me some luck.
Bring me some luck.
Craps, Benny.
You lose.
Easy.
This ain't nobody's business.
Everybody just stay where you are.
How you play this game? Just pick up a pair and put them in the air.
That sounds easy enough.
Come, babe.
- Where's my partner? - I don't know.
You set us up.
I didn't know they'd grab your partner.
I swear on my sainted mother's grave.
You tell me who, or people are gonna be swearing on your grave.
Where's my partner? Where is he?! 87OO South Blondstat Road, in the back, OK? I mean, I think that's where they took him.
- This isn't getting us anywhere.
- All right.
Get him out of here.
Dump the body in the brush, someplace coyotes will have no trouble finding.
Be careful with him.
He's dangerous as a rattler.
- Yeah, he looks real dangerous.
- Hey! Don't jerk around.
Just do what I say.
Nypo says I should be afraid of you.
Well, look how afraid I am.
You should be.
Win anything? Dice were loaded as a sailor on a Saturday night.
- I’ll take the back.
- All right.
It’s gonna blow! Cordell, are you all right? This Nypo's a real piece of work, boy.
Ex-con, long history of drug busts, assaults with intent to do bodily harm.
He beat a woman to death back in '84.
Spent eight years in stir.
Third-degree black belt, kickboxing champion at Folsom.
Yeah, you're right, he's a real piece of work.
If you know Nypo's the guy at the drug lab, let's go on over and get him.
All I heard was a voice, and I can't arrest him on that.
- I know that.
- C.
D.
, let me borrow your car.
- What? - Let me borrow your car.
Well, now, you be careful with old Goldie.
- Where you goin'? - I’m gonna go see Tony's mother.
Be careful with that car! I don't loan that car to just anybody.
I told you not to underestimate Walker.
I didn't.
I overestimated those mouth-breathers you got working for you.
Next time, I’ll handle Walker by myself.
Messing with Rangers was a stupid idea.
You're out of your league with this guy.
Maybe you're the one's out of his league.
- Hey, Curt.
Back off.
- Or what, you gonna hurt me? I sprang you from prison, pal.
You owe me.
We have a deal.
Guess what? It’s time to renegotiate.
- I need to speak to Curt.
- Yeah, in a minute.
Hey, Curt.
Your kid is here.
I ain't his kid.
Tell him to get in here.
- Where the hell you been? - Since when do you care? Since you disappeared with half a kilo.
You didn't deliver it like you were supposed to.
Ed called me last night.
You think I wasn't gonna find out? - Going into business for yourself? - No! I’ll bet you are.
How much you get for it? - I threw it away.
- You threw it away.
You threw it away? I’m not gonna do this anymore.
I’m not gonna deliver drugs for you.
I don't care what you do to me.
You'll do whatever I say, Tony.
'Cause you don't wanna know what's gonna happen if you don't.
- I don't care what you do to me.
- You better start.
If you don't shape up right here and now, the next time you see your mother, she's gonna have a broken arm.
And it'll be your fault.
That was cute.
Ranger Walker's doing good things with you? You want kickboxing lessons, you went to the wrong place.
I was Folsom Prison kickboxing champ three years runnin'.
All right, I won't create any more problems.
- Just don't hurt my mom, OK? - Sure, kid.
And you stay away from that Ranger.
- Mrs.
Kingston? - Yes? I’m Ranger Cordell Walker.
- Why? Is Tony in trouble? - May I come in? Well OK.
But just for a few minutes.
I’m due at work in half an hour.
I really want to thank you for everything you're doing for Tony.
He's really He's changed a lot since you took him in your program.
Well, Tony's a good boy.
How does he get along with your fiancé? - Do you know Curt? - Yeah, we met.
- Where? - At school.
Tony seemed a little intimidated by him.
Curt can sometimes be a little forceful, but I think it's good for Tony to have a father figure around the house.
That depends.
How did that happen? - Excuse me? - The bruise.
A shoe box fell on me.
It’s the darnedest thing.
Excuse me, ma'am, but it looks like someone hit you.
Does your fiancé get forceful with you too? You know, I really have to get to work now.
- You could get help, you know.
- I don't need any help.
Well, maybe Tony does.
Look Here's my card.
If you ever want to talk, give me a call.
You know, C.
D.
could wash this car.
Yeah, right.
Look who's talkin', man.
You should've never talked him into loaning it.
- Why? - Because he loves this car.
- Something happens - Nothing's gonna happen.
Right.
What happens if we get a call? What do we tell the bad guys? - ''Don't shoot.
It’s a borrowed car.
'' - Whatever works.
There's Tony.
- He supposed to be in karate class? - Yeah.
I got it.
- Bring the food? - Yeah.
Let's have it.
Now, you listen, kid, and listen carefully.
This is a big order, with some volume guys I’ve been wantin' to do business with.
I want you to put it in their laps.
They're gonna give you 5O,OOO bucks.
I want you to count it and get out of there.
Finch'll be waiting.
Give him the money.
Then go on about your business.
- You got that? - Yeah.
Blow this, there's no place you're gonna be able to hide.
- What are you doing? - Let's follow him.
I’ve got a hunch.
It’s illegal to ride a bicycle that fast.
- Hey, kid! - Watch it, moron! Hey.
How are you, Vicki? Good.
I wanted to ask you about sociology.
- I was thinking about taking 2O-21.
- Is my tie crooked? Yeah, but it looks nice on you.
I’ll call you tomorrow, OK? Great.
OK.
Bye-bye, now.
Hey.
- Hi.
- Hey.
I was just thinking about you.
I’m working late tonight.
You wanna grab a bite? Alex? You OK? - Just a lot on my mind.
- Big caseload? - Something like that.
- I guess we can rest a little easier, now that your friends have Stan Perkins behind bars.
- We can rest easier around here.
- Hopefully.
We're waiting for confirmation that he's the one we're looking for.
Well, I’m sure you'll get it.
By the way, did you have that information that Walker asked for? Yeah.
It’s in my office.
I just assumed that with Perkins being arrested the point was moot, but I can send it over to your office if you'd like.
That'd be great.
I’d appreciate it.
I’ll see you after class.
I’ll be there.
Hey! The kid's here.
Somebody named Chester order egg rolls? That's me.
You got the MSG? I’m supposed to see the money first.
That's no problem.
Let's eat.
All right.
Yeah, Peru.
Chitico Mountains? Late October.
A high-grade Swedish ether.
Stepped once.
Load your bags, kid.
Texas Ranger! Don't move! Come here, Tony.
Look out! - Where's Tony? - He took off.
- No doubt he's running for Nypo? - Yeah, looks that way.
Let's call for a unit to come pick these guys up.
And let's go look for the boy.
Now would be a good time to pull over.
Get off the bike.
- Are you gonna arrest me? - Yes, I am.
You gonna tell my mom? You're in a lot of trouble.
I have no choice.
There is nothing I would like better than to issue a warrant for Curt Nypo's arrest, but on what grounds? With Tony refusing to talk, we have nothing to tie Nypo to the drugs.
Those guys you brought in last night aren't talking.
Tony went from Nypo's straight to the auto shop.
Maybe he picked it up at the restaurant first.
- You know better than that.
- I know that, Walker.
But without something to tie Nypo to the drugs, I will be laughed right out of the arraignment.
I have to release Tony into his mother's custody until the juvenile hearing.
Send in Tony Kingston.
Thank you.
You have one more chance to change his mind.
You're in a lot of trouble.
There's nothing I can do unless you decide to help yourself.
Now, where did you get the drugs? Look, all I know is that I was delivering takeout.
I didn't know drugs were in the boxes.
You got the drugs from the restaurant? Are you willing to implicate innocent people just to protect Nypo? - You disappoint me.
- All right, let's just say that Curt were to be arrested.
Then what would happen to him? He would be booked, arraigned and then tried.
And then he would be in jail all that time? Well, I would argue against it, but the judge would probably set bail.
Yep.
See, I don't know a thing.
Yes? Send her in.
Tony's mother's here.
- Tony? - I’m sorry, Ranger Walker.
God.
What? What happened to you, honey? I got into a I just fell on my bike.
- Are you OK? - Yeah, I’m all right.
Are you gonna tell her? What? Tell me what? Your fiancé has Tony delivering cocaine on his bicycle.
- Excuse me? - Nypo is dealing in cocaine, and he has your son delivering for him.
You must have Curt confused with somebody else.
He wouldn't do that.
Are you aware that Mr.
Nypo has done time for dealing drugs? Well, he would've told me that.
Did he tell you he beat a woman to death? - What is this? - The truth.
I know you feel like we're letting you down, but we can't prosecute Nypo unless someone testifies against him.
- Can we go? - Yes.
You are free to go.
- You did the best you could.
- Yeah But sometimes the best isn't good enough.
I have a good mind to sue the city.
- Mom - Get a good lawyer.
- Mom - What? Ranger Walker didn't lie, all right? - Look, honey - Mom, you know it's true.
Get your butts in here now.
Both of you! Come on! - What did you tell the cops? - Nothing.
Honest.
- Leave him alone.
- Stay out of this! I thought we already did this one.
- What did you tell 'em? - Nothing! - Bull! - If I did, you'd already be in jail.
I talked to Chester's lawyer.
He says you set them up.
I didn't know Walker was followin' me, all right? - Curt! - Stay out of this, damn it! This wouldn't have happened if you weren't friendly with Walker.
I can't be sure it's not gonna happen again.
Or that you're not working for him right now.
Maybe you're wearin' a wire.
Or maybe you are.
You're really gonna regret that, pal.
Run, Tony! Run! You had no right to treat Tony like that.
He's just a kid.
That's it.
No more.
I want you out of our lives, now.
You stay away from Tony, or I’ll kill you.
That's funny.
You know what happened to the last woman who threatened to kill me? Dadgum it! I should've known better than to loan somethin' of sentimental or extrinsic value to you fellas.
- ''Intrinsic''.
- That's what I said.
- Besides, it's just a muffler.
- We had it replaced.
No.
It’s much more than a muffler.
This is like an arm or a leg laying up here.
You fellas have dismembered Goldie.
This was on that car in 1964 when I drove it off the showroom floor.
A lender or a borrower, I shall not be.
That's what Shakespeare said.
Fellas, I love you both, but damn, you'd tear up an anvil.
If I’d loaned you a bowling ball, you'd have brought it back cracked.
Damn.
The information that you wanted from the university.
Peter sent it over this afternoon.
We got three professors who started during the time we're lookin' at.
One woman.
Two men.
Alan Billbon teaches clinical psychology.
- Who's the other one? - Peter Needham.
- Did you know about this? - Not till a couple of minutes ago.
Run a background check on both these guys.
Look, Alex, we think Perkins is the guy.
He was workin' at the university when all three attacks took place.
And he's been arrested before for sex crimes.
Yeah, but it's all peeping Tom stuff.
Why would he change his pattern and start attacking women? What about the evidence? Susan's scarf, the ski mask? Maybe, like he said, he did find them.
Or someone planted it on him.
You don't seriously believe that it could be Peter.
He's a suspect.
Whether I believe it or not doesn't really matter.
Professor Billbon, what you're saying is you have no problem with professors dating coeds.
Is this a great job or what? OK, seriously Everybody's goin' a little crazy now because of this sexual harassment stuff.
And the schools all have rules about it.
But, hey, everybody's doin' it.
Why not? This is a college campus.
The women here are past the age of consent.
Why did you leave RMU? Time to move on.
Did you quit or were you thrown out? I did not invite you guys into my office to be insulted, OK? You asked me questions, I answered 'em.
You've never met the girls that were attacked here? No.
- Alan? - Yeah.
- You have a class in five minutes.
- OK.
Thanks, darlin'.
Do you guys really think that I’m the kind of guy that has to get his jollies by raping women? You gotta be kiddin' me.
Look, this This is nuts, man.
This is absolutely nuts.
The girls in my office are freakin' out.
I talked to the head of security.
He tells me we had fewer incidents than most schools.
That's pretty good.
Why do we have Rangers comin' here, askin' questions? Alex.
Where you goin'? I was just gonna go grab a bite to eat.
- Mind if I tag along? - I’d like that.
- Who's the beautiful lady? - Alex Cahill, this is Alan Billbon.
You teach law classes in the evenings, don't you? Yes, I do.
I’m enjoying it very much.
Nice meeting you.
Maybe Maybe I can come by your class sometime and observe.
- Sure.
- See you later.
See ya.
Campus Casanova.
Pay no attention.
Well, he admits to dating students.
Yeah.
Exclusively, from the look of things.
It doesn't give us enough to prove anything.
As much as I hate to admit it, he's right.
He doesn't seem like the type who'd have to rape to get what he wanted.
Walker.
For you.
Yeah, Trivette.
Hi, George.
You sure? OK, yeah.
Thanks.
The lab? Yeah.
Stan Perkins is definitely not our rapist.
Wrong blood type.
- That leaves Peter Needham.
- Yep.
We better cut Perkins loose.
- Ranger, this just came for you.
- Thanks.
Reports on both professors.
Walker.
Hi, Laura.
- I’ll be right there.
- What's up? Nypo.
Dr.
Forest, dial 1 18, please.
Dr.
Forest, please dial 1 18.
What kind of man would do this to a woman? - Tony? - Hey, Mom.
I’m here.
You watch out for Curt.
- OK.
- Don't let him get you.
It’s fine.
It’s fine, Mom.
He didn't get me, and I’m all right.
And just go back to sleep.
Just relax, all right? Tony tried to call you.
When he couldn't get in touch, he called me and I met him at the house.
It was awful.
There was blood everywhere.
She was barely alive.
Well, a warrant for Nypo's arrest is being drawn up right now.
I’m gonna serve it personally.
Tony's gonna stay at my house.
At least for tonight.
OK, good.
First, I’ve gotta take him downtown.
The DA's office is waiting to take his statement.
I’m gonna stay here just for a little bit until she falls asleep.
Yeah, sure.
We'll wait outside.
OK.
I’m gonna have to leave.
I forgot I’ve got a parent conference.
OK, when we're finished, I’ll drop Tony off at your house.
Should we set an extra place for you for dinner? That'd be great.
Better take a look at this.
When he was at Farragut University, incidence of rape went up 3O percent.
Same at the other schools.
The m.
o.
for those rapes fits the guy we're lookin' for.
Better get a copy of this report to Alex.
I’ll fax it to her.
When we're finished with Tony, let's go meet Alex at her class.
All right.
This fax just came in from Ranger Trivette's office.
- About the professor.
- Put it on my desk.
I’m late.
There's a note on it, says it's important.
Thank you.
- Are you gonna come? - Well, we'll talk.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Need any help? - No.
- All set? - Yeah.
Where's Alex Cahill? - They just left.
- They? - She and Needham.
- Do you know where they went? No.
Drop me at my car and I’ll meet you at C.
D.
's.
- Why don't we just take my car.
- I’ve got an early arraignment.
- I won't be able to that stay long.
- I see.
- Here, it's OK.
I got it.
- I’m sorry.
Here you go.
I don't think you should be looking at that.
I haven't had a chance to read it myself.
I don't believe this.
Bitch.
- What do you want from me? - Nothing.
You send Rangers to my office to harass me.
Make me out to be some kind of a pervert.
Ruin my reputation.
- No.
- Shut up! You women think that you rule the whole damn world.
You think you're better than us.
Let me tell you something.
You're only good for one thing, and I’m gonna give you a little demonstration.
Come here.
Maybe they've already gone.
Yeah, you're probably right.
Alex, you OK? Peter.
Peter.
Are you all right? Oh, God.
- Got Billbon locked up downtown.
- Yeah, get this.
His attorney says he's manic-depressive, doesn't remember the attacks.
- We're gonna lock up the attorney too.
- Good for you.
Heard you beat the hell out of that rapist.
I’ve never been so scared in my entire life.
A good thing you listened to Walker about self-defense classes.
Yes, it is.
Excuse me.
Yeah, Trivette.
Excuse me.
So how's Peter? He has a concussion.
They're gonna keep him overnight for observation, but he'll be fine.
Let's go see him.
Any friend of yours Walker.
Laura called the office.
Tony took off on his bike about a half hour after we dropped him off.
You don't think he'd be foolish enough to go after Nypo? - C.
D.
will take you home.
- OK.
What the hell's goin' on here? I said we don't move anything until everything calms down.
We got a hornet's nest stirred up with Ranger Walker.
Walker's my problem, not yours.
I’ll handle it.
Thanks to you, so far he's all our problems, and you haven't handled it.
Now, what I say around here goes.
I don't pay you to have opinions.
You don't pay me, period.
We just became equal partners.
Do we get our usual cut? Double, when Walker and his partner are dead.
- That ain't gonna happen.
- Well, ain't this a kick in the head? I could go to jail for this.
I don't care.
You're goin' down.
Did you hear me? Yeah.
I heard you, kid.
Go ahead.
Pull the trigger.
Don't have the guts? Walker's got your head all twisted up with the rules of the game.
Only thing he doesn't know is, there are no rules.
Your turn, Tony! Great feeling, ain't it? Drop it! Against the wall.
Stay put.
Go to hell.
Look, it's only drug dealing right now.
Don't make it murder.
He's right.
Put the gun down.
For drugs we get three to five years He's next.
Put it down.
Put it down! You too.
Now I get to give a lesson to the teacher.
Champion of Folsom? Let's see what you know.
You're not so tough.
I told you to stay put.
If I wanted your opinion, I’d beat it out of ya.
He doesn't look so tough now.
Think you can point at him and tell a jury what he's done? Yeah, watch me.
Thank you.
Wait a minute.
Wait.
We totaled this.
We went through trees.
We went over railroad tracks, through a shack, into a pond.
Amazing what a wash job will do.
No, don't.
Don't.
So, what do you think? I mean, it's not so bad.
No, it's not so bad, really, y'know.
Little paint here and little paint there.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Yeah.
Well, let's see what's inside.
You got a fishing pole, C.
D.
? We got dinner tonight, boy.
