Walker, Texas Ranger s02e14 Episode Script
On Deadly Ground
Looks like there's only two guards down there, Paco.
Well, let's get ready to rumble.
Apache One to Apache Two.
Ready, Apache One.
That's a nice jacket, Trivette.
Yeah, genuine sheepskin.
Brand-new.
Yeah.
Can I see it for a minute? Yeah.
- We're the same size.
- Yeah.
Here.
- Boy, it is nice.
- You! Hey, Jose.
- How come I always get the big guy? - Just lucky, I guess.
- Texas Rangers! - DEA! Freeze! Right now! Drop it! - Hands up now.
- Hands up! Don't you guys just hate days like this? Paco Cruz again.
- Who's with him? - Some Texas Ranger.
You want a two for Chuchu? I can take Cruz and the Ranger out together.
Right now.
Save it, ése.
Durazo has some plans for Cruz.
Big-time plans.
C.
D.
, man? These ribs don't get nothing but better.
ItÂs all in the sauce, Paco.
My own special blend.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
You oughta franchise that, man.
You can make a fortune.
- Really? - Yeah.
You mean like Paul Newman on the salad dressing label? - Yeah.
- I looked like him when I was young.
- Yeah? - I really did.
There's still a resemblance.
You can see.
- Yeah! - Still resemble him in a way.
- The side of my face here.
- I see it! What's happening, Jimmy? Same thing, big dog.
Some more nuts.
Somebody new? Are you still upset about the jacket? I told you it would be replaced.
So, tell me, how do you like working with this guy? ItÂs hard on my wardrobe.
But I gotta admit, it's never been dull.
At least, not yet.
You used to dis him about his clothes too? Paco and I go a long way back.
In fact, our first assignment, I was new on the Department of Public Safety, - and you'd just started with the DEA.
- Yeah.
The beginning of a beautiful relationship.
You got it.
- Jimmy.
- What? Come here.
What? You know how it is with old friends.
- I wasn't bothering 'em.
- To Cobra.
Who's that? Our agent in Mexico, fed us the coke mill.
Well, I hope I get a chance to meet him sometime and thank him.
Cobra's a little tied up right now.
Has Emilio Durazo staked out.
The guy who bankrolled the mill we took down.
Emilio Durazo.
Head of the Mexican Mafia, right? Not for long, if I have anything to do with it.
Sounds personal.
You're right.
This is personal for me.
As personal as it gets.
This man is responsible for killing children.
Babies born with drugs in their veins.
A whole generation of kids with no chance at a decent life.
Paco.
You know what happens when you get emotionally involved.
- You get careless.
- Look who's talking.
Well, watch your back, will ya? Don't I always? The cocaine mill was a nice bust.
Clean.
No loose ends for me to chase for a change.
Are you tryin' to make a point here? I can only interpret your ongoing relationship - with other agencies as tenuous.
- Tenuous.
Does that mean IÂm not the caring, sensitive, nineties type of guy? Sometimes, my dear, a little diplomacy would go a lot further than kicking down doors.
But it wouldn't be as much fun.
- How's Paco? - Great.
ItÂs good to see him.
Yeah.
One more thing.
Trivette's expense sheet.
''One sheepskin jacket, $648.
37''? Is that what he said? That jacket wasn't worth more than 5O bucks.
- I wouldn't let him get away with that.
- OK.
Jimmy.
We were just going over your expense sheet, and Walker, I have some bad news.
- ItÂs Paco Cruz.
- What about him? You know Marlene, that DEA clerk IÂve been seeing? She says Paco's been missing since last night.
DEA got word through an informant that he's been abducted.
He was with me at C.
D.
's.
He left just a few minutes before I did.
- Well, who do they suspect? - Mexican Mafia.
Emilio Durazo.
Walker, they have to be pulling out all the stops to find him.
Don't give me that look.
This is out of our jurisdiction.
Please, just let the Feds handle it.
He never listens.
- Just a moment.
Can I help you, sir? - Name's Walker.
I phoned.
I told you Mr.
Maddox was not available.
Mr.
Maddox, IÂm sorry.
He just IÂll have to get back with you.
Well, you must be Walker.
You're the guy I can't get on the phone.
Do I sense an atmosphere of tension here? Let's cut to the chase.
IÂm here about Paco Cruz.
Fine.
Let's do be concise.
You were with Cruz for a few joint undercover operations.
- More than a few.
- Whatever.
You're concerned with his safety.
However, IÂm not at liberty to discuss his situation with you.
You're confirming that he was kidnapped.
I can speak only on a need-to-know basis.
Now, I appreciate your professionalism and care.
But you're not part of the equation.
IÂve just become part of the equation.
OK, off the record.
All we know for sure is that he was last seen in Cordereño, Mexico.
- What have you done to find him? - Everything we can.
You haven't answered my question.
We've concluded our business.
Yeah, we have.
- You OK, Washoe? - Yeah.
Just thinking.
Here, I made some tea.
Some of my own secret ingredients to induce serenity.
What's in it? Well, if I told you, it wouldn't be a secret anymore.
You know, I remember Paco, he visited the ranch.
- He was a good man.
- He is a good man.
If he's still alive.
If they'd wanted to kill him, they'd of killed him last night at C.
D.
's.
You know, Washoe, I know you feel you must have to act in order to help your friend, but you also took an oath to uphold the law.
I know that, but IÂve gotta do something, even if it means going into Mexico.
Well, then you must do what I know you've already decided to do.
Let's go.
Hand me that rope, Trivette.
You've got enough stuff to take out an army.
- I may have to.
- Then I should go along.
ItÂs not your fight.
Hand me that 95O.
Uncle Ray, you gonna help me out? Ain't no use trying to stop Washoe when his mind's made up.
Walker, what in the world do you think you're doing? Going on vacation.
Hand me that box of ammo.
You're going across the border.
Your badge doesn't mean anything.
So, what you're doing is you're walking into hell.
With no resources.
- No backup.
- Uncle Ray IÂm outta this.
IÂm gonna make some tea.
IÂll send you a postcard.
Don't let me forget to call Judge Grasos in the morning.
ItÂs very important.
- Can I talk to you for a minute? - Sure.
Just a second, Myra.
While IÂm sitting out there, I I don't like it.
I mean, he could be walking into a firestorm down there in Mexico.
I know that.
But what can we do? We gotta do something.
- IÂve been trying.
- Call the attorney general.
Already spoke to him.
He referred me to the DEA.
I gotta do something.
You know what I gotta do? I gotta start thinking like Walker.
Jimmy.
Please.
That's all I need.
Hey, señor.
Wanna see some watches? Give you a good deal too.
- Hey, Vargas.
- Walker, what are you doing here? IÂm looking for Paco Cruz.
Your timing is perfect, hombre.
I just got in a new shipment of expensive watches.
Here.
Let me show you.
- Word is Emilio Durazo snatched him.
- That's who IÂm tracking.
Then he's probably tracking you by now.
I hope so.
You don't want to find this guy.
He's as bad as they come.
He's out in the country someplace.
I don't know where, but I saw one of his men in town today: Chuchu Sanchez.
He passed right by here an hour ago, bragging to a couple of his friends about picking up a car for Durazo.
Something very expensive.
He was all excited because he gets to drive Durazo around in it all the time.
Where's he going to pick it up? Hombre, there's only one dealer in this town.
Bernardo Lopez.
- Avenida de las Flores.
- Avenida de las Flores.
Now, this a nice one.
Authentic.
Paco had an undercover contact.
Code name, Cobra.
Cobra's in deep cover.
- Do you know where? - No one knows but Paco.
What do you think, señor? Give you a good deal.
Maybe IÂll come back.
Señor, you don't want to buy a watch? Stay away from there.
Slowly.
Slowly.
Careful! She's a beauty, no? I told you to take it easy! You can get out of the car now.
She's the perfect color too, I think.
- Is it what Mr.
Durazo ordered? - Oh, yes, señor.
This is exactly the car Mr.
Durazo ordered.
I made sure of that myself.
- What about the leather? - Genuine calfskin.
I thought we said lambskin.
Oh, well, yes, of course! That's exactly what it is too.
Better be.
Yeah.
- ItÂs real good.
- Veritech rubber.
Cherrywood dash.
CD player.
Phone.
ItÂs all there.
Yeah, I like that new car smell.
Hey, I know you.
You're the Ranger was with Cruz the other night.
If you know that, then you must know where Cruz is.
Don't know what you're talking about.
- Does that jog your memory? - Call up lnformation for his number.
Tell Durazo IÂm coming for him.
- Did Durazo pay for the car already? - Yeah.
What you lookin' at? What's your problem? Ma'am.
Miss.
- Where's Durazo? - He's downstairs.
Did you get the new car? Maybe we can all go for a ride.
Get out of this place a little bit.
SÃ.
I am so bored! I gotta get You're here to see that Durazo doesn't get bored.
That I don't get bored.
Go ahead! IÂm sure Durazo will want to know where the bruises came from.
I like foreplay.
How 'bout you, Cruz? I don't want to start real torture till you're completely warmed up.
I want the earth to move for you.
Now, tell me how did you find my operation in Dallas? Talk to me, man! Don't play games! Who gave you that information? It was somebody on the inside, wasn't it? You'll never know, jefe.
You're already dead, my man.
But I can still make you feel the pain of living.
It will go on for hours.
Days if I want it to! Is that how you wanna play it? - Did you get the car? - Yeah, sort of.
What, what? Talk, talk, man.
A Texas Ranger showed up.
It was the one with Cruz the night we picked him up.
That's very interesting.
Come down here to find his compadre? - I wonder who he is.
- His name is Walker.
After so much, why? Why, now, do you tell me this? Because he would want you to know.
Look, Ms.
Cahill, I wouldn't have come down here if I didn't feel the situation was critical.
You're close to Walker, and right now he's into something way over his head.
He's been seen in Cordereño, Mexico, looking for Paco Cruz.
I can't verify that.
Really? Well, I can.
If you hear from him, tell him to get his butt back over the border, pronto, or he's at risk of losing his badge.
Or worse.
- You don't have that authority.
- Others do, and they'll move on it.
Wait a minute.
Paco Cruz is your man.
I would think that you'd want to get him out too.
We're talking vagaries of international law.
Sometimes it's within our sanction to help our people.
Sometimes not.
Sometimes individuals must be sacrificed.
That's barbaric.
That's the way it is, and your friend Walker's caught in the middle of it.
So, what are you saying? Right now, he's operating on his own.
His badge is meaningless down there.
He's a man without a country.
If he gets caught by either side, he's gonna go down.
And you won't lift a finger.
I can't.
- IÂve been waiting for you guys.
- Is that so? Are you gonna tell me where Durazo is, or do I have to beat it out of you? Sure, we'll take you, only you won't be conscious when we get there.
- You wanna bet? - Six to one odds.
- I like those odds.
- I like the odds.
- How about six to two? - IÂll take that bet.
Trivette! - What? Who was that? - I don't know.
By the way, nice room.
What do you expect on a Ranger's pay? Besides what are you doing here? IÂm on vacation.
Besides, postcards are cheap.
I wasn't gonna send you one anyway.
I am Maria Alcantar.
- OK.
- Maybe you know me as Cobra.
So Paco is alive.
If you can call it that.
I have not been able to get in to see him since yesterday.
I can only imagine what they're doing to him.
At least he's still alive, so we have a chance to get him out.
Alive, yeah.
As long as he doesn't talk.
As long as he has something they want.
What do they want? Durazo wants the person inside that's been tipping off Paco.
Which is you.
I have been waiting for two years to get my revenge on Durazo, - ever since he killed my sister.
- What happened? What happens so often the world has stopped noticing.
Like so many other children in Mexico looking for a way out, looking for something better, she wound up being a prostitute for Durazo.
Then on drugs.
Then overdosing.
We'll take care of Durazo.
You don't have to go back there.
The hacienda's like a fortress.
You won't be able to get in without me.
- We'll find a way.
- I have to go back.
If I don't, Durazo will know something is wrong.
He will kill Paco.
And if Paco dies, it will be because he was protecting me.
OK, Durazo keeps three Dobermans on the grounds.
Dobermans.
- They have Dobermans.
- So? So the last time we ran into Dobermans, I almost lost a very nice, very expensive pair of boots.
- Not to mention a leg.
- I don't like dogs with no hair.
Don't worry, IÂll take care of 'em.
- What about the guards? - They rotate at intervals.
Four are left outside for the night after 2:OOam.
- Know where the alarm system's at? - Main panel's near the door.
- What about the surveillance cameras? - At the gate, front entrance.
ItÂs gonna take an army to get through that security system.
How are we gonna do it? We're gonna surround 'em.
You got a lot of heart, Cruz.
IÂll give you that.
You refuse to show weakness.
The mark of a man.
But now the thrill is gone, my man! I wanna know who sold me out.
No more foreplay, man! Talk to me! You're scared, aren't you? You're scared because you know he's out there.
And you know he's coming for you.
You find this man, and you bring him to me.
Alive.
OK? You understand me? IÂll kill him myself! Do it! Hey, hombre.
Sorry, amigo.
We're closed.
Maybe for good.
I heard you were talking to a Texas Ranger this afternoon.
I don't know.
I talk to a lot of people.
How many gringos come to this dust hole? - Many, hombre.
- This one was looking for Durazo.
I see no one who looks for Señor Durazo.
Keep your eyes open from now on.
Walker.
Don't tell me You need my help again? IÂm afraid so.
Well, it just so happens, mi amigo, I am in the mood to give it.
What do you need? - Right here.
- No problem.
Meet me here at midnight.
I have been trying to reach Jimmy all day.
The office said he called in sick, but when I tried his house, all I got was his machine.
I think he went to Mexico to help Walker.
More likely.
We have to do something.
Alex, all you have to do is order a beer and drink it.
- And then what? - They come back and tell their story.
But what if? - My God, I hate feeling like this.
- Just relax.
Cordell's not gonna get anywhere he can't get out of.
And you sure as hell can't talk him out of this.
Paco saved his life.
I didn't know that.
On their first assignment, Cordell got wounded.
Paco saved his life.
So he went down there to return the favor.
ItÂs just that simple.
You want some Goobers? Here she is.
OK, we've got three hours.
Let's get ready.
Durazo's been looking for you.
So? So, you'd better see what he wants.
I know what he wants.
- Get away, you pig.
- Where have you been tonight? - Out.
- Out where? Since when do I have to report to you? IÂm not your property.
IÂm Durazo's girl.
IÂve seen so many like you come and go.
One day soon, he'll be bored with you, then Lapping up leftovers from the floor like a dog.
Somebody jumped me today.
Knocked me out cold.
Funny thing, as I went down, I thought maybe - Maybe what? - Maria! Gotta go.
What's going on? He said he'd be here, right? Yeah.
Trivette! He's dead.
Sorry, Vargas.
Got the stuff.
How're we gonna use this without Vargas? Our plan requires three men.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
What? - The watches, man.
- What about 'em? If I can modify the mechanism Can I do that? I don't know.
Can you do it? We're in business, partner.
Try this on.
How's that sound? - Too dadgum loud.
- Turn it down.
Just getting a snack.
- You want something? - No.
I better go see where Raul is.
He should've relieved me an hour ago.
- Trivette, how's it going? - Right behind you.
This stuff just takes a little more time.
Time we don't have.
Hurry up.
- Ten minutes.
Let's go.
- IÂm on it, man.
Come on.
Hey.
You having a picnic? This meat was about to go bad, so I thought IÂd give the dogs a snack.
Smells good to me.
Like steak tartare.
Hey.
You be careful.
Those dogs will take your head off.
Come and get it, boys.
- You all set? - Yeah, buddy.
IÂll tell ya, if this thing works, they're gonna think we're a dang army.
Let's see.
Twenty minutes.
Let's get into position.
ItÂs all right.
Walker's here.
Here.
Just lean on me.
I told you I didn't trust you, baby.
So this is your little spy? Does she hop from Durazo's bed to yours, telling you of all thejefe's plans? Just like your sister, chiquita? You know what happened to her.
I won't make it so easy for you.
Go to hell.
I will see you there, no? Chuchu, do what you want with her.
But first, find out who else she's been talking to.
Mami, treat him as nice as you've treated me.
Kill them both when you're done.
Now we're going to have some fun.
IÂll come back for him myself.
Let's go.
Come on.
- Trivette.
- Yeah.
We got about 38 seconds if it works.
- If it works? You said it would work.
- It will.
I hope.
- Anything unusual outside? - No, nothing.
- What about the dogs? - What about 'em? - Where the are they?! - I don't know.
Turn on the lights! Now! Check on number three.
Let's go.
- So far so good.
- Yeah.
Boy, don't you love this job? - What's happening? - Hey.
ItÂs gonna work.
- Drop your guns! - Don't move! Let's get out of here.
Wait here.
Hey.
Look at me.
Just isn't your day.
Trivette.
Let me out! Damn it, let me out! Get away from the door, Maria.
- You all right? - IÂm all right.
- You sure? - Yeah, IÂm fine.
Let's go.
Let him go.
IÂm not finished with him yet.
Now, IÂm finished.
Well, I guess we're even now.
I saved your life.
Now you saved mine.
- And IÂd do it again.
- And I as well, my friend.
- Take care of yourself.
- You too.
- The three of us made a good team.
- You bet.
- See you around.
- You too.
He's a great guy.
Yeah, the best.
All right.
So where'd we park the truck? I don't know.
It all looks different at night.
You don't remember? Well, it's not like I didn't have other things on my mind.
Walker, IÂm tired.
My feet hurt.
You The next time you get in a situation like this, don't expect me to come bail your butt out.
I didn't ask you to come.
No, not in so many words, but you knew I wouldn't let you come here by yourself.
Trivette, I specifically told you not to come.
But that's not what you meant.
You wanted me to make the decision on my own.
Hey! And another thing.
They didn't approve my expense account, so you owe me for my sheepskin coat.
$648.
37, pal.
Can I pay you in pesos? No, you can't pay me in pesos! Where is that dadgum truck? Walker!
Well, let's get ready to rumble.
Apache One to Apache Two.
Ready, Apache One.
That's a nice jacket, Trivette.
Yeah, genuine sheepskin.
Brand-new.
Yeah.
Can I see it for a minute? Yeah.
- We're the same size.
- Yeah.
Here.
- Boy, it is nice.
- You! Hey, Jose.
- How come I always get the big guy? - Just lucky, I guess.
- Texas Rangers! - DEA! Freeze! Right now! Drop it! - Hands up now.
- Hands up! Don't you guys just hate days like this? Paco Cruz again.
- Who's with him? - Some Texas Ranger.
You want a two for Chuchu? I can take Cruz and the Ranger out together.
Right now.
Save it, ése.
Durazo has some plans for Cruz.
Big-time plans.
C.

But what can we do? We gotta do something.
- IÂve been trying.
- Call the attorney general.
Already spoke to him.
He referred me to the DEA.
I gotta do something.
You know what I gotta do? I gotta start thinking like Walker.
Jimmy.
Please.
That's all I need.
Hey, señor.
Wanna see some watches? Give you a good deal too.
- Hey, Vargas.
- Walker, what are you doing here? IÂm looking for Paco Cruz.
Your timing is perfect, hombre.
I just got in a new shipment of expensive watches.
Here.
Let me show you.
- Word is Emilio Durazo snatched him.
- That's who IÂm tracking.
Then he's probably tracking you by now.
I hope so.
You don't want to find this guy.
He's as bad as they come.
He's out in the country someplace.
I don't know where, but I saw one of his men in town today: Chuchu Sanchez.
He passed right by here an hour ago, bragging to a couple of his friends about picking up a car for Durazo.
Something very expensive.
He was all excited because he gets to drive Durazo around in it all the time.
Where's he going to pick it up? Hombre, there's only one dealer in this town.
Bernardo Lopez.
- Avenida de las Flores.
- Avenida de las Flores.
Now, this a nice one.
Authentic.
Paco had an undercover contact.
Code name, Cobra.
Cobra's in deep cover.
- Do you know where? - No one knows but Paco.
What do you think, señor? Give you a good deal.
Maybe IÂll come back.
Señor, you don't want to buy a watch? Stay away from there.
Slowly.
Slowly.
Careful! She's a beauty, no? I told you to take it easy! You can get out of the car now.
She's the perfect color too, I think.
- Is it what Mr.
Durazo ordered? - Oh, yes, señor.
This is exactly the car Mr.
Durazo ordered.
I made sure of that myself.
- What about the leather? - Genuine calfskin.
I thought we said lambskin.
Oh, well, yes, of course! That's exactly what it is too.
Better be.
Yeah.
- ItÂs real good.
- Veritech rubber.
Cherrywood dash.
CD player.
Phone.
ItÂs all there.
Yeah, I like that new car smell.
Hey, I know you.
You're the Ranger was with Cruz the other night.
If you know that, then you must know where Cruz is.
Don't know what you're talking about.
- Does that jog your memory? - Call up lnformation for his number.
Tell Durazo IÂm coming for him.
- Did Durazo pay for the car already? - Yeah.
What you lookin' at? What's your problem? Ma'am.
Miss.
- Where's Durazo? - He's downstairs.
Did you get the new car? Maybe we can all go for a ride.
Get out of this place a little bit.
SÃ.
I am so bored! I gotta get You're here to see that Durazo doesn't get bored.
That I don't get bored.
Go ahead! IÂm sure Durazo will want to know where the bruises came from.
I like foreplay.
How 'bout you, Cruz? I don't want to start real torture till you're completely warmed up.
I want the earth to move for you.
Now, tell me how did you find my operation in Dallas? Talk to me, man! Don't play games! Who gave you that information? It was somebody on the inside, wasn't it? You'll never know, jefe.
You're already dead, my man.
But I can still make you feel the pain of living.
It will go on for hours.
Days if I want it to! Is that how you wanna play it? - Did you get the car? - Yeah, sort of.
What, what? Talk, talk, man.
A Texas Ranger showed up.
It was the one with Cruz the night we picked him up.
That's very interesting.
Come down here to find his compadre? - I wonder who he is.
- His name is Walker.
After so much, why? Why, now, do you tell me this? Because he would want you to know.
Look, Ms.
Cahill, I wouldn't have come down here if I didn't feel the situation was critical.
You're close to Walker, and right now he's into something way over his head.
He's been seen in Cordereño, Mexico, looking for Paco Cruz.
I can't verify that.
Really? Well, I can.
If you hear from him, tell him to get his butt back over the border, pronto, or he's at risk of losing his badge.
Or worse.
- You don't have that authority.
- Others do, and they'll move on it.
Wait a minute.
Paco Cruz is your man.
I would think that you'd want to get him out too.
We're talking vagaries of international law.
Sometimes it's within our sanction to help our people.
Sometimes not.
Sometimes individuals must be sacrificed.
That's barbaric.
That's the way it is, and your friend Walker's caught in the middle of it.
So, what are you saying? Right now, he's operating on his own.
His badge is meaningless down there.
He's a man without a country.
If he gets caught by either side, he's gonna go down.
And you won't lift a finger.
I can't.
- IÂve been waiting for you guys.
- Is that so? Are you gonna tell me where Durazo is, or do I have to beat it out of you? Sure, we'll take you, only you won't be conscious when we get there.
- You wanna bet? - Six to one odds.
- I like those odds.
- I like the odds.
- How about six to two? - IÂll take that bet.
Trivette! - What? Who was that? - I don't know.
By the way, nice room.
What do you expect on a Ranger's pay? Besides what are you doing here? IÂm on vacation.
Besides, postcards are cheap.
I wasn't gonna send you one anyway.
I am Maria Alcantar.
- OK.
- Maybe you know me as Cobra.
So Paco is alive.
If you can call it that.
I have not been able to get in to see him since yesterday.
I can only imagine what they're doing to him.
At least he's still alive, so we have a chance to get him out.
Alive, yeah.
As long as he doesn't talk.
As long as he has something they want.
What do they want? Durazo wants the person inside that's been tipping off Paco.
Which is you.
I have been waiting for two years to get my revenge on Durazo, - ever since he killed my sister.
- What happened? What happens so often the world has stopped noticing.
Like so many other children in Mexico looking for a way out, looking for something better, she wound up being a prostitute for Durazo.
Then on drugs.
Then overdosing.
We'll take care of Durazo.
You don't have to go back there.
The hacienda's like a fortress.
You won't be able to get in without me.
- We'll find a way.
- I have to go back.
If I don't, Durazo will know something is wrong.
He will kill Paco.
And if Paco dies, it will be because he was protecting me.
OK, Durazo keeps three Dobermans on the grounds.
Dobermans.
- They have Dobermans.
- So? So the last time we ran into Dobermans, I almost lost a very nice, very expensive pair of boots.
- Not to mention a leg.
- I don't like dogs with no hair.
Don't worry, IÂll take care of 'em.
- What about the guards? - They rotate at intervals.
Four are left outside for the night after 2:OOam.
- Know where the alarm system's at? - Main panel's near the door.
- What about the surveillance cameras? - At the gate, front entrance.
ItÂs gonna take an army to get through that security system.
How are we gonna do it? We're gonna surround 'em.
You got a lot of heart, Cruz.
IÂll give you that.
You refuse to show weakness.
The mark of a man.
But now the thrill is gone, my man! I wanna know who sold me out.
No more foreplay, man! Talk to me! You're scared, aren't you? You're scared because you know he's out there.
And you know he's coming for you.
You find this man, and you bring him to me.
Alive.
OK? You understand me? IÂll kill him myself! Do it! Hey, hombre.
Sorry, amigo.
We're closed.
Maybe for good.
I heard you were talking to a Texas Ranger this afternoon.
I don't know.
I talk to a lot of people.
How many gringos come to this dust hole? - Many, hombre.
- This one was looking for Durazo.
I see no one who looks for Señor Durazo.
Keep your eyes open from now on.
Walker.
Don't tell me You need my help again? IÂm afraid so.
Well, it just so happens, mi amigo, I am in the mood to give it.
What do you need? - Right here.
- No problem.
Meet me here at midnight.
I have been trying to reach Jimmy all day.
The office said he called in sick, but when I tried his house, all I got was his machine.
I think he went to Mexico to help Walker.
More likely.
We have to do something.
Alex, all you have to do is order a beer and drink it.
- And then what? - They come back and tell their story.
But what if? - My God, I hate feeling like this.
- Just relax.
Cordell's not gonna get anywhere he can't get out of.
And you sure as hell can't talk him out of this.
Paco saved his life.
I didn't know that.
On their first assignment, Cordell got wounded.
Paco saved his life.
So he went down there to return the favor.
ItÂs just that simple.
You want some Goobers? Here she is.
OK, we've got three hours.
Let's get ready.
Durazo's been looking for you.
So? So, you'd better see what he wants.
I know what he wants.
- Get away, you pig.
- Where have you been tonight? - Out.
- Out where? Since when do I have to report to you? IÂm not your property.
IÂm Durazo's girl.
IÂve seen so many like you come and go.
One day soon, he'll be bored with you, then Lapping up leftovers from the floor like a dog.
Somebody jumped me today.
Knocked me out cold.
Funny thing, as I went down, I thought maybe - Maybe what? - Maria! Gotta go.
What's going on? He said he'd be here, right? Yeah.
Trivette! He's dead.
Sorry, Vargas.
Got the stuff.
How're we gonna use this without Vargas? Our plan requires three men.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
What? - The watches, man.
- What about 'em? If I can modify the mechanism Can I do that? I don't know.
Can you do it? We're in business, partner.
Try this on.
How's that sound? - Too dadgum loud.
- Turn it down.
Just getting a snack.
- You want something? - No.
I better go see where Raul is.
He should've relieved me an hour ago.
- Trivette, how's it going? - Right behind you.
This stuff just takes a little more time.
Time we don't have.
Hurry up.
- Ten minutes.
Let's go.
- IÂm on it, man.
Come on.
Hey.
You having a picnic? This meat was about to go bad, so I thought IÂd give the dogs a snack.
Smells good to me.
Like steak tartare.
Hey.
You be careful.
Those dogs will take your head off.
Come and get it, boys.
- You all set? - Yeah, buddy.
IÂll tell ya, if this thing works, they're gonna think we're a dang army.
Let's see.
Twenty minutes.
Let's get into position.
ItÂs all right.
Walker's here.
Here.
Just lean on me.
I told you I didn't trust you, baby.
So this is your little spy? Does she hop from Durazo's bed to yours, telling you of all thejefe's plans? Just like your sister, chiquita? You know what happened to her.
I won't make it so easy for you.
Go to hell.
I will see you there, no? Chuchu, do what you want with her.
But first, find out who else she's been talking to.
Mami, treat him as nice as you've treated me.
Kill them both when you're done.
Now we're going to have some fun.
IÂll come back for him myself.
Let's go.
Come on.
- Trivette.
- Yeah.
We got about 38 seconds if it works.
- If it works? You said it would work.
- It will.
I hope.
- Anything unusual outside? - No, nothing.
- What about the dogs? - What about 'em? - Where the are they?! - I don't know.
Turn on the lights! Now! Check on number three.
Let's go.
- So far so good.
- Yeah.
Boy, don't you love this job? - What's happening? - Hey.
ItÂs gonna work.
- Drop your guns! - Don't move! Let's get out of here.
Wait here.
Hey.
Look at me.
Just isn't your day.
Trivette.
Let me out! Damn it, let me out! Get away from the door, Maria.
- You all right? - IÂm all right.
- You sure? - Yeah, IÂm fine.
Let's go.
Let him go.
IÂm not finished with him yet.
Now, IÂm finished.
Well, I guess we're even now.
I saved your life.
Now you saved mine.
- And IÂd do it again.
- And I as well, my friend.
- Take care of yourself.
- You too.
- The three of us made a good team.
- You bet.
- See you around.
- You too.
He's a great guy.
Yeah, the best.
All right.
So where'd we park the truck? I don't know.
It all looks different at night.
You don't remember? Well, it's not like I didn't have other things on my mind.
Walker, IÂm tired.
My feet hurt.
You The next time you get in a situation like this, don't expect me to come bail your butt out.
I didn't ask you to come.
No, not in so many words, but you knew I wouldn't let you come here by yourself.
Trivette, I specifically told you not to come.
But that's not what you meant.
You wanted me to make the decision on my own.
Hey! And another thing.
They didn't approve my expense account, so you owe me for my sheepskin coat.
$648.
37, pal.
Can I pay you in pesos? No, you can't pay me in pesos! Where is that dadgum truck? Walker!
