Walker, Texas Ranger s03e16 Episode Script
War Zone
See, I told you that snitch was lying.
- It's gonna be a midnight run.
| - It's midnight right now.
You know what's going on, | he's looting another facility.
They'll be here.
He says they'll be here, | they'll be here.
How long you guys | known each other? DPS training.
We was a pair to draw to.
Me, the original hell-raiser, and Cordell | with that quiet, Cherokee attitude.
Gets real mad when he's pushed.
We put a Texas-sized hurt\ | on any bad guys who refused to salute the Rangers, | God and country, in that order.
Here they come.
Let's do it.
Let's go, Hanks.
Bet mine goes down first.
- I'll bet you dinner.
| - You got it.
- Damn.
| - A big steak, baked potatoes, - black-eyed peas.
| - All right, all right.
Those are ours.
No, actually, | those are yours now.
Put them on.
See, now I'm late for dinner.
| Put them on! Just like old times, Cordell.
You mean this is more fun | than working for the governor? That was a rotten thing | you did to me.
Better you than me.
Nobody in their right mind | would do this for a living, Cordell, unless it was in their blood.
Busting bad guys, hell, it's more | than thinking we make a difference.
It's a religious experience.
At least I used to tell Molly that, | but she'd just sit there in that quiet way of hers and say, "Logan, you'd better get yourself a | nice, safe job while you can still walk.
" Hey, kid, come on.
Are you ready for a ride | on the wild side? That's okay, Vernon.
Come on.
Now! You're not thinking | of hanging it up, are you? Amigo, some people get shot | out of cannons, some people climb mountains | to see what's on the other side, but me, I'm a Texas Ranger for life.
| You might as was well face it.
Dana, bless her heart\.
She's put her life on the same track.
But Keith, can't seem to get through to him.
The fishing trip didn't help? I don't know whether he hates fishing | or just hates me.
Ever since Molly died, l Well, he's a teenager, Logan.
| What can you do? Boy, howdy.
You know, raging hormones, | loud music, funny-looking haircut.
He got the whole package.
It's not easy.
Go get him! Whoa, there's an accident | waiting to happen.
They're cops, they're cops.
- Oh, come on.
Do something.
| - Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Oh, man, they're getting closer.
| Dude, they're right on us.
Shut up, shut up! Hey, hey, look out! Keith.
What do you want? I'm sorry? I don't know what happened.
| I wasn't even speeding.
We'll let the judge decide that.
| Take him in.
- Come on, son, let's go.
| - You have to come to the station.
It's not my fault.
I didn't wanna ride with him.
Honest.
But damn it, Keith, | you were riding with him.
- What the hell were you doing? | - I was just a passenger.
- I didn't have anything to do with it.
| - Don't cop an attitude with me, son.
Or what? What, you gonna ground me? I'm sick of being treated | like I was years old.
You know, Keith, | you could have been killed.
Dad? It's your brother again.
- I got your call, Walker.
Is he okay? | - Yeah, he's okay.
He's one lucky kid, though.
Are there any charges? Against the driver.
| Not against Keith if he cooperates.
And while you're at it, maybe you can figure out | what makes him tick, because I can't.
Good morning, yeah.
- You know what? | - What? That was something, man, | working with Logan Reno last night.
Did you know that his grandfather | was one of the original Texas Rangers that took down Bonnie and Clyde? Yep.
Oh, you knew that.
Why would you break up | a part\nership with him? I didn't.
He went to work for the governor | as his personal bodyguard.
That's how I wound up with you.
You're lucky to have me.
You know what? | I heard that it was you that was supposed to be | the governor's bodyguard.
Yeah, he tried.
But I convinced him that | Logan was the best man for the job.
I don't think | Logan's ever forgiven me for that.
I wonder what it would be like | to be Logan Reno's son? Well, maybe he'll adopt you.
Let's see, James Reno.
It has a ring to it.
James Reno, Texas Ranger.
- Hank, this looks interesting.
| - What you got? Cordell, Trivette, might have | something cooking here, boys.
What you got, pops? Pops? New business going down.
Perps wearing clown masks | using military precision.
Got some feedback on unsolves from | Houston, Tulsa and Oklahoma City.
They match two recent hits | in the metroplex.
Yeah, these boys know | what they're doing.
Yeah, they pulled several heists | in each of the cities.
Yeah, which means they'll hit again.
I hope you didn't get too soft | working for the governor, Logan.
Cordell, I'm meaner and tougher | than you ever hoped to be and I wanted to get back in action from the second | you railroaded me to Austin.
I didn't railroad you, Logan.
All I did was convince the governor | of his great qualities, that's all.
Sold me down the river's | what he did.
Trivette, you gotta watch him.
I used to consider this guy like | Like family.
Oh, that hurt\s, Logan.
| That really hurt\s.
Only kidding.
All right, gentlemen, | in minutes we cash out.
Lock and load.
Listen, Cordell, l I lost my temper | last night and I shouldn't have, but I honestly don't know what to do | about Keith.
Well, I'd just give him | a little space, Logan.
I'm sure he'll come around.
Well, I hope so.
This Sunday, Dana's | gonna cook up a roast, if you're free.
- Hey, you can count me in.
| - All right.
All right, people, suit up.
Bludgeon to Backup, we're going in.
Hey, what do you think | you're doing? Come on, lay down! Get down! Move, move, get the money! Move! Get that other sack.
Move.
All right.
Stay down! Get down! | Lady, don't move! All units, robbery in progress, | Benefit and Concert.
Dallas P.
D.
, | this is Texas Ranger Five, we're three minutes away | and responding.
Roger that.
Logan, go to Tech Two.
Looks like we're back in business, | Cordell.
I'll catch you later at C.
D.
's.
You'll catch us before that.
| We're your backup.
Don't make a move | until we get there.
Well, come on, part\ner.
| I'll flip you for the paperwork.
Quickly, people.
| Move, move.
Quickly.
Give me the money! Come on.
All right, let's move, let's go.
Texas Rangers.
Drop your weapons.
Okay.
Okay, you got us.
We'll go peacefully.
Any time, Backup.
Go! Move! Let's get out of here.
How is he? How is he? The cashier and the security guard | are all right.
Ranger Hanks caught one | in the lower back.
It's hard to say how he'll do.
The license numbers we got | were stolen.
Dana.
I'm sorry.
Dana? Come on, Dana.
Come on.
Logan Reno was a Texas Ranger, one of the finest | to ever wear the star.
His father was a Ranger, | as was his grandfather.
Logan loved his family, maybe more than they'll ever know.
And now he's with his beloved Molly.
Logan lived by a code, | and he spoke the truth as he saw it.
Something Logan used to say | rings more true today than ever before.
A Ranger who's not willing | to die for justice is not really a Ranger.
You're the best friend | a Ranger ever had, Logan, and I'm gonna miss you.
Forward, pull.
Fire position.
Move.
Ready, aim, fire.
Ready, aim, fire.
Ready, aim, fire.
Cease-fire.
Present halt.
This flag is presented | on behalf of the state of Texas in remembrance of the faithful and | honorable service of your loved one.
How's Wade Hanks? Well, they still got him | in intensive care.
He's gonna make it, though.
Whether he walks again, | that's another story.
- That's a damn shame.
| - Yeah.
You got any leads | on those shooters? Well, we found the van and | the four-by-four they used as backup, abandoned, wiped clean.
Both of them stolen.
Yeah, and we found | eight shell casings.
Same m.
o.
As the other jobs.
You know, you hit one of those | suckers an inch above the heart\, he barely even flinched.
Bulletproof vest.
Yeah.
So I put out a trace of the police | and military supply houses.
That had to be state-of-the-art\ | to stop that load.
Well, it's a shame | Dana lost her dad.
Now she's gotta raise | her kid brother.
Yeah, that's gonna be tough.
Yeah, she's a good person, though.
| She can handle it.
I hope so.
Hey, don't mess with my music.
Put the ball away.
| Get ready for school.
Who made you boss? Hey, playtime is over, Keith.
Now, it's been a week.
| We've gotta get on with our lives.
So I miss another day | of chopping up frogs, so what? Besides, they gave you time off.
That's the depart\ment's idea, | not mine.
You know I'd much | rather be working.
Yeah, if it's good enough for you, | it's good enough for me.
- Now give me the ball.
| - No, you are going to school.
No, you can't make me.
- Get in that house.
| - You're not my mother.
Hey, you two, I can hear you all | the way down the street.
- I cleaned out your father's locker.
| - Thanks.
Aren't you supposed | to be in school? - I'm not going.
| - Oh, yes, you are.
Go in there and get ready.
- Thanks, Walker.
| - How are you holding up? I've been better.
What am I gonna do with him? Well, he's been kicked | right in the gut again.
First your mom and now your dad.
It's gonna take time | for both of you.
I know.
I know, but I'm a cop.
I'm not a mother or a father.
Well, I'll talk to him, and don't forget, | I'm always here for you, okay? You know, there's something | you could do.
- What's that? | - Use your influence.
Get them to let me | come back to work, now.
I don't think it's a good idea.
Oh, come on.
You think it's therapeutic | sitting around all day, listening to the clock tick? Reading sympathy cards | and watching the funeral flowers wilt? I need to get back to work, Walker.
I'll see what I can do.
- Thanks.
| - Come on.
Hey.
Okay, people, this is not a drill.
| Suck floor.
Get the money.
| Get the money.
Give me the money.
Hand me the bag.
- Put the money in the bag.
| - What are you looking at? Do not look at me.
| Do you understand? Come on.
- Put the bags on the counter.
Now! | - Stay down.
Get down.
- Let's see your hands.
| - Get the money.
Go, go.
If anyone says anything about you | being late, have them call me.
Look, you don't understand.
You're wrong, Keith.
| I do understand.
When my parents were killed, | I felt just the same way you do.
I had a hard time | expressing my feelings too.
It's like I'm still numb.
I don't know what to feel.
I mean, I miss my dad but he was | the world's greatest everything.
Marine, Ranger, bass fisherman.
You name it, he had the T-shirt\.
Me, I'm the world's worst everything.
C's in all my classes, | didn't make the football team.
I don't even like fishing.
And the last thing on eart\h | I wanna do is be a Ranger.
That's all he ever | talked about, though.
I never even had a choice.
Well, I knew your father | as well as I knew anyone.
All he did was brag about you.
He loved you very much.
Well, how come | he never told me that? I guess he should've.
But now that he's gone you've gotta make | some smart\ choices, and one of those choices | is staying in school.
What, we back to that now? That's right, and I'm gonna see | that you stay in school.
Walker, come in.
- Go ahead.
| - Yeah, they hit again.
How much was taken? Two hundred-fifty thousand inside, | another to that was being delivered outside | by the armored car.
Thank you.
What are you doing here? - Making a deposit.
Why? | - Come on, Dana.
Okay, I heard it on the scanner.
Look, I'm not gonna sit around | watching TV all day.
I need to get back to work.
Have you talked to Preston? I just left you.
Now go home.
You don't understand.
| I have to be involved in this.
As soon as we get a lead, | you'll be the first one to know.
No, I want in on it now.
Dana, you're too close to this.
You were my father's best friend.
I still am.
Now go home.
Wish I could be more help, but all I saw | was three guys in clown masks.
The next thing I remember was him | holding up two fingers and asking if I could count to one.
What happened? I'm sorry, Mr.
Mueller.
| We didn't have a prayer.
Who are you, sir? Burt\ Mueller.
It's our company.
We got the security | and the armored trucks.
Well, Mr.
Mueller, I'm afraid | one of your guards has been killed.
Who was it? Tom Housley.
I should've got | out of the truck sooner.
Oh, my God.
- Hey, hey, hey.
| - Okay, okay, here we go.
Come on, in the chair here.
Okay.
Looks like a heart\ attack.
Osheroff, get me some oxygen | and an IV.
- What hospital? | - Memorial.
Memorial Hospital.
They're taking him in for tests.
Remind me to get | a physical next week.
- You just had a physical.
| - Remind me to get another one.
Funny how life turns out.
Logan always dreamed of Keith | going into law enforcement, but it wound up being his daughter.
Think Keith will come around? I sure hope so.
Look at this.
The point man takes out the guard, the two flankers | cover the back and side.
All the bagman has to do | is collect the money.
Not one wasted move.
Just like a precision | military operation.
Haven't been able to match | that exact m.
o.
With any other gang.
Looks like we got | a whole new wild bunch here.
Let's see what we got.
So far, they've collected , | from the supermarket, , from the check cashing store, , from the concert\ and , from the bank.
So they're climbing the ladder.
Each hit's topping the last.
The van and the four-by-four | seen outside the bank were found abandoned.
| Both are hot.
What about the military angle? I generated a list of dishonorable | dischargees in the area.
What about vets that had a problem | with the military police? And I accessed the Army | and the Marine Corp database, so that's names | that fit the profile.
Make that .
| Four of them are doing time.
Walker.
Thanks, Fowler.
The lab came up with a clean print | off one of the shell casings, and R & I came up with a hit.
Manny Alberado.
Manny Alberado.
Hello.
Dishonorably discharged | after Desert\ Storm.
Suspected of three | strong-arm robberies.
Fugitive warrant outstanding.
I think he fits the profile.
You got an address? Nothing.
Well, I think our next move | is to go where military and wanna-be military types | hang out.
Does that mean the Hunt Club? Yep.
Nobody goes to the Hunt Club | without a SWAT escort\.
We do.
Walker.
I know how hard | losing Logan must be, so if there's anything I can do, | or even if you just wanna talk I appreciate it.
- Manny Alberado.
| - Yeah, I remember him, vaguely.
Has he been in lately? No, not for a couple of weeks.
- You know where we can find him? | - What do I look like, his travel agent? Are you still running | those illegal card games in the back? Touch that and I'll break your finger.
- Well, you wanna go check? | - Sure.
So are you winning, Manny? Manny? No way, man.
A lot of people tell me | I look like that guy, but I'm not him.
Isn't that right, Jumbo? Then you won't mind coming | downtown, answering some questions.
He's not going anywhere | until he finishes this hand.
Well, he was bluffing, anyway.
Thank you very much.
Are you sure it was the Rangers? I saw the badges.
Bart\ender recognized one of them.
Walker's the name.
I gotta tell you, | this dude ain't nobody to mess with.
Teele's right, man.
That Walker, | he's a legend around here.
What's your point, Ross? We about got | what we came here for, right? You know, maybe we ought to | fold our tent, split the cash, | let's get the hell out of Dodge.
That just cost you percent | of your share, Ross.
Anybody else here | concerned about the Ranger, huh? I didn't think so.
Hey, what's shaking, Hanks? Well as can be expected.
Heard you nailed one of them.
Yeah, we nailed him, | but the judge let him out.
All we got was name, rank | and serial number.
What the hell | are you doing here, then? You ought to be out tracking | the rest of those scumsuckers.
Just thought we'd drop by and see | if there's anything we can do.
Nothing.
Nothing at all.
Not unless you could spare | a couple of healthy legs.
Hey, don't mind me.
L I know I'm better off than Logan.
I am gonna fight this thing until I'm standing on my feet and look the slime | who did this square in the eye.
And we're gonna see | that you do it too.
I'm glad to see you're okay.
Oh, that makes two of us.
You ever see so much paperwork? You'd think there was really | something the matter with me.
Heart\ attacks aren't something | to joke about there, Mr.
Mueller.
I know, but it looks like | I beat this one before it beat me.
You ever see this guy hanging around, | talking to your guards or employees? No, sir, I can't say as I have.
Could he have been the one | that hit your truck? I told you, | they were wearing masks, No, sorry, | I have never seen that guy before.
Tell me something.
You gentlemen really think some | of my people are involved in this? Well, we're not | ruling anything out.
Thanks.
They're our guys.
They changed their pattern, though.
| They used a limo and a laundry truck.
How bad is it? One dead, two wounded.
Yeah, they took , in cash.
They knew to hit | when the vault was full.
So it's probably an inside job.
Yeah, I think so.
So we're checking the credit union, the armored-car company | and the accounting firm.
Well, I just came from downtown.
The mayor wants to put together | a task force, all city, state | and county law enforcement agencies, and your captain wants you two | to head up the Rangers.
The DA's office has been working | with Rangers Walker and Trivette.
Now they have developed several lists | of potential suspects, but these men are on our A list.
And they all fit the ex-military profile, and they're all known | to be in the area but nowhere to be found.
We know this sucker's involved.
We busted him on an assault charge.
| We got him downstairs.
Right now he's being | less than cooperative.
What about his known associates? We're running them.
| I'll have a list for you this afternoon.
All right, what we got is, | every hit is bigger than the last one and Walker thinks that they're using | one robbery to train for the next, so if he's right, then the next target | could exceed over a million dollars.
The logical move | would be to research the firms that have that kind of cash on hand.
And stake them out.
Now we're talking about | a lot of manpower here.
I don't know if we can make | that many officers available.
Have the mayor | cut you a bigger check.
I don't care if it's a meter maid.
We need someone peeking in | every time a cash drawer is opened.
I'll see what I can do.
| Anything else? Yeah, there is one thing.
We have reason to believe | that this is an inside job.
We're doing background checks | on all past and current employees.
That's good.
| Hopefully that'll narrow it down some.
Okay, we got a lot of work to do.
| Let's get out there and get busy.
- I'll see you later inside.
| - You got it, Walker.
What's the matter, Dana? - Keith's gone.
| - Where? I don't know.
| We had a fight, he stormed out and said he wasn't coming back.
- I'll see if I can find him.
| - Walker, it's my fault.
I'm driving us both crazy.
| L I can't stay home.
I gotta get back to work.
Hey, Bob? You think you could put Dana | back on duty? - Well, you think it's the best thing? | - Yeah, I do.
Okay, you go back on patrol, | but you let Walker handle this case.
- You understand me? | - Yes, sir.
Thanks.
- Thank you.
| - Okay.
Prevent Security.
- Hands up now! | - Get down! - Nobody move! | - Come on.
Metro Three we're at sport\s arena | on a suspicious van.
Send us backup.
Rangers Two, what's your position? - We're at Commerce and Elm.
| - Go to Tack Six.
Rangers Two, over.
We got a call from Metro Officers | at Dallas Arena requesting backup.
Suspicious vehicle, | armored car on the scene.
We're on it.
Come on, go, go, go! Backup, earn your keep.
Go, go, go.
Let's go, let's go.
Quickly.
- Come on.
| - Bolton! How you doing? Hey, I got an officer down nort\h side | of the sport\s arena.
Send an ambulance.
He shot his own man.
Yeah, these guys | don't leave any witnesses.
What did he yell? Bolton? Sounded like it.
Why don't you run a check on every | Bolton that has a military background.
All right.
Walker, I got him.
Mitch Bolton, captain, | Special Forces.
Explosives specialist, | mart\ial art\s expert\.
Dishonorably discharged.
Suspected of tort\uring prisoners.
That's a bad boy.
Hard to believe | he was ever on Special Forces.
Just like a bad cop.
I'll put this out | on a city-wide bulletin.
We gotta find out | who the inside man is on this.
Why don't you take this over | to Sundance Security.
- I'll talk to Mueller at Prevent.
| - All right.
No, sir, this is a bad hombre.
I never saw him before in my life, and a fellow like this could never | get mixed up with my outfit.
Who knows the schedules | of your runs and the amounts being transport\ed? Clete Gibson would know that.
- Who's he? | - My dispatcher.
Been with me years.
I'd like to talk to him.
He called in sick this morning.
I'd like to talk to him anyway.
- You have an address? | - I do.
As a matter of fact, I'll go with you.
You meet Clete Gibson, | you'll know in a minute he's not mixed up in any of this.
- Let's go.
| - You bet you.
I appreciate your bringing me | along here.
I think you're barking up | the wrong tree, though.
I've known this fellow a long time.
| He's almost like family to me.
Well, we'll see, Mr.
Mueller.
I thought you said he called in sick? Well, he did.
You know, could be | he's at the doctor's.
He could be a hundred places.
Just because he's not here, | you know, don't make him a criminal.
Is this supposed to be here? No, sir, it's not.
You know, after years, you'd think you'd get to know a fellow, | wouldn't you? I'll be damned.
This is Walker.
Contact Trivette.
Have him get everything he can on a Prevent Security employee | named Clete Gibson.
You got that? Clete Gibson.
That's Gibson's car, all right.
His phone records show | he made three toll calls to that house this morning.
Like he had something | real urgent on his mind.
Let's go find out.
It's Clete Gibson.
Wanna help me? - Got him? | - Okay.
- He's booby trapped, Trivette.
| - What? Hold him up.
I can't believe | I was so damned stupid.
What do you wanna do? Well, when he goes down, | this place is going up, so let's run like hell, on three.
- On three? | - Ready? One, two, three.
You okay? Did you say two or three? Three for you, two for me.
Oh, man.
Bolton led us right into a trap.
He wanted us to find Clete Gibson.
So he kills Gibson to keep him quiet.
Or to take suspicion away | from the real inside man.
You got any idea who that might be? Have you completed | your background check on all the employees | at Sundance and Prevent Security? Wait.
One moment.
Did we not almost get our butts | blown off back over there? Should I take that as a no? Looking good.
It's better than kicking in the wall | at home.
I've looked everywhere for Keith.
| Has he called? No.
Walker, I am worried sick.
Well, I know what he's going through, | Dana.
When my folks were killed, | I rebelled just like he's doing.
Yeah, well, what if | something happens to him? Well, don't worry.
We'll find him.
Come on.
We drank up all the beer, man.
That sucks.
We need a beer run.
I'm busted.
| All my money went on bail.
What am I gonna do? Put it on my account, man.
You know that's funny.
Hey, Keith, you steer, man.
I'm gonna need both hands free.
I hear you're having | a hundred-percent-off sale.
Michelle, grab me some cigarettes.
- Hey, how you doing? | - Yeah, I'm fine You're taking a bear? | You gotta be kidding me.
Hey, hey, hey, put the phone down.
| Put the phone down.
- Hold it right there! | - All right, I got those two.
- Come on, man.
Vernon, he's a cop.
| - He's not taking me down.
- No! | - Freeze! Drop the knife.
What have you got? We may have something on | that inside man we've been looking for.
- Oh, yeah? | - Yeah.
Mitch Bolton.
He was suspected | of stealing military ordinance and selling it | to drug dealers in Panama.
But nobody can nail him for the scam | because he used a middle man.
You know who it is? Not yet, but at about the same time, Eugene Whitney applied for a passport\ | and took a little trip to Panama too.
- Interesting.
| - Yep.
Whitney's neighbors say | he keeps to himself.
Doesn't live above his means.
Well, not yet, but my guess | is Bolton's still controlling the money.
According to the schedule, | that's the last stop.
Well, now we'll follow him | to the Federal Reserve Depository, then we'll call it a day.
Damn.
I told Mueller this unit needed | a new fuel pump.
Just sit tight.
I'll check it out.
Rangers, damn.
Bludgeon to Backup.
| Abort\ the mission.
Repeat.
Abort the mission.
Abort\ed.
Just a loose sparkplug wire.
I don't get it.
If there was ever a time for a hit, | this was it.
Bolton made us.
Hey, leave me alone, man.
| I'm not bothering you.
What's your name? Keith.
Keith Reno.
Where'd you get them boots, Keith? They belonged to my father.
I want them.
Now.
Forget it.
Well, well, I'll bet you could use | a black cup of coffee about now.
C.
D.
You're a mind reader.
Nope, nope, I just read the signs and your signs say | you haven't slept in a good while.
How about that? It's been a while.
That's not good, Alex.
Well, working with this task force | has not lightened my caseload any, and there's just not enough hours | in the day to get it all done.
It's Cordell, isn't it? I thought you weren't a mind reader.
I don't know what | I'm doing wrong, C.
D.
I mean, we are so close, | we're such good friends, and when he needs a friend most | that's when he pulls away from me.
Well, sometimes a man | just has to keep to himself.
Why? I mean, I know he's hurt\ing | over Logan's death, and every time I mention it | he clams up tighter than a drum.
Honey, a man's just got to do | what he's got to do.
No, he doesn't.
I'm there for him.
| I mean, at least I wanna be.
Alex, let me tell you something.
One time Cordell was engaged | to this little girl out in El Paso.
Pretty little gal.
Little redhead.
He was a young trooper.
Every time they were together, Christmas, New Year's Eve, | Fourt\h of July.
They really loved each other.
He took a bullet one day.
| Wasn't his fault.
You know, so many of us | are just gonna get shot every year, and that's what happened to him.
He was in intensive care, but he pulled out of it, | just kept working at it, and that little old gal | was right by his side.
Well, when he got up and about, she just confronted him.
The badge or me.
Of course, he took the badge.
I think he lost a little bit | of himself then, hon.
He never told me about this.
Alex, it's awful hard for Cordell | to open up.
He don't wanna get hurt\ again, and he don't wanna hurt\ nobody.
Kitty, kitty.
I'm home.
Hi, kitty.
How you doing? Hey, kitty, you miss me? Did you miss me today? Yeah.
Old dad had a big day, | let me tell you that.
I'm gonna get me a beer, and I'm gonna get you a kitty beer.
You got your kitty litter packed? Two more days | and we'll be in paradise.
Whitney.
Bolton, what are you doing here? Things have changed.
You got this Ranger's | been dogging you all day long.
- He's onto you.
| - But how? But how? | Doesn't make any difference how.
He died good, didn't he? | Let's ride.
Hands up, knees on the ground.
Nobody move! Back off, chump! - Get down! | - Hands behind your heads! Jewels in the bag, lady.
| Jewels in the bag.
Move! The estimated take | was over $ million.
The mayor's gonna have me | for lunch on this one.
- Anything pan out with that driver? | - No.
He didn't show up for work today.
| We checked his apart\ment.
He's gone.
Preston.
Yeah, he's here.
It's for you.
It's a guard down at juvenile hall.
Yeah? Heard they tried to take your boots.
I see you still got them.
I also heard | you saved a lawman's life.
Your dad would've been | real proud of you.
He wouldn't have been proud of you | and your friend ripping off that store.
Things just got out of hand.
I'm sorry.
Come on, let's go.
- Jimmy? | - Yo? Where's Walker? - You wanna sit down? | - No.
Where is he? You heard? My father is turning over | in his grave.
Now I know that Walker bailed Keith | out.
Where'd they go after that? I don't know.
| Maybe Maybe he drove him home? I just came from there.
Maisy? Yeah, where's Walker? Hey, I know that guy.
A few months back | he and some friends took apart\ a topless bar | at Bockman Lake.
Yeah, thanks.
I'm running known associates | on our prime suspect.
His name's Mitch Bolton.
We think this guy's part\ | of the gang that killed your father.
Trivette, can I see you a minute? What did we come here for? No part\icular reason.
Just thought I'd say hello | to your dad.
Well, we're still after the guys | that took you down, Logan, but we'll get them.
You know that.
I guess you heard | about your son, Keith getting himself | into a little bit of a scrape, huh? Well, I think he learned his lesson.
He can't hear you.
He's dead.
It's too late.
| Doesn't matter anymore.
It does matter, Keith, and it's never too late.
I lost my parents | when I was a young boy, but that doesn't stop me | from talking to them and they're pretty good | listeners too.
I'll bet your dad's a good listener, and I'll bet he'd love | to hear from you.
What do I say? Whatever comes from the heart\.
Hey, Dad.
I really screwed up.
Made a mess of things.
You're doing fine.
I didn't mean for this to happen.
I didn't mean for a lot of things | to happen.
It feels funny talking to you this way.
I wish I wish I could see you again, Dad, because, you know, I really I really miss you a lot.
I never thought I would, all those fights, | but I always thought you'd be there.
But I guess things don't work out | like we'd like all the time.
Why? Why did it have to be you? Why did you have to go there | and be killed? I never got a chance | to say goodbye.
I never got a chance to tell you I love you.
- Hey, mama, how you doing? | - All right.
What can I do you for, little lady? - Name it.
It's on the house.
| - I'm not thirsty.
I never knew a customer | to turn down a freebie.
Well, I'm looking for some friends.
| Maybe you've seen them.
I hear this is their second home.
Lady, I just pour drinks | and wash glasses.
Hey, look at this.
A female cop.
You know these guys? Never seen them before.
Now why is it I don't believe you? You calling me a liar? No, no, of course not.
Now, I'm personally offering $ for information | leading to the arrest of these men.
Oh, come on, boys, don't be shy.
My money spends | just as good as anyone's.
You're gonna be sorry | you ever came in here.
Now you're really gonna be sorry.
Let her go.
Can't shoot an unarmed man.
I'll do more than that | if you don't let her go.
Why don't you just turn around | and leave while you still can? You sound like a man huffing up | to do something real stupid.
Not as stupid as you | coming in here in the first place.
Why don't you show me | just how stupid I am? Anyone else stupid? How did you know I was here? Trivette noticed his printer was on, | figured what you were up to.
Oh, thank God.
Dana, you never go into a place | like that without backup.
- You should know better than that.
| - L I know.
L I'm sorry.
- I thought I could handle it.
| - Well, now you know.
Walker? - Walker, come in.
Are you there? | - Yeah.
You wanna pick me up? | We got a meeting with Preston.
I got it.
- Here you go.
| - Thanks.
- Is one of them Eugene Whitney? | - Oh, yeah.
Mueller's driver.
Bought it | with a single shot to the head.
What about the other guy? Manny Alberado.
Same thing.
ME puts the death two days ago.
Bolton's thinning out | his shareholders.
I've got an idea, but it's gonna take | Burt\ Mueller's cooperation.
Whitney too? | He was my first driver.
My God, | why would he do this to me? Who knows? Maybe all those years | of carrying other people's money.
- He decided to take a little for himself.
| - Yeah.
We've got a plan to nail these guys, | but we'll need your help.
- Yes, sir, you name it.
| - Anything.
Well, the biggest run of the month | is tomorrow, right? Yes, sir.
Tomorrow we pick up five banks, the military base, | and the Dallas Arena.
We take $ million | to the Federal Reserve.
And Whitney normally | makes that run, which means Bolton | will know all about it.
Gentlemen, if anything happens | to that money, I'm out of business.
- It's that simple.
| - Nothing's gonna happen.
Trivette and I are gonna | make that run for you.
But after all the money's loaded, we're gonna switch it | to another armored car.
And Bolton will follow us | in the empty armored car.
So the armored car with the money is gonna take the back roads | to Fort\ Wort\h.
Well, you're the Texas Rangers.
Sounds to me like | you know what you're doing.
Well, we appreciate | your cooperation, Mr.
Mueller.
I'm gonna tell you | something, fellows.
We're gonna be in high cotton.
One more hit's all we got.
Hold it, boys.
Change of plans.
- The deal's off.
| - What do you mean? Rangers.
Texas, by God, Rangers.
That Ranger's been a day | behind all along.
Well, he's caught up.
Matter of fact, | he's got a little bit ahead now.
Him and his part\ner are gonna dress | up like guards and drive the truck, make the pickups, then they're gonna switch the money | into a decoy and send that to the depository.
That don't make any difference.
We'll still follow the vehicle | with the money, right? No, sir.
It'll be driven by cops too, you see.
And if I know this Walker | he'll have enough firepower on it to take out a small town.
That don't scare us.
| Makes it more entert\aining, right? Say, why'd you have to kill Whitney? He was a liability.
He was my friend.
You know, Walker had it nailed.
He said Whitney had hauled somebody else's money around | for so long it made him crazy.
Figured he had to take | some for himself.
Look how he wound up.
A tired old man in a little stinking | hovel with an old scrawny cat.
Hell, he could've been talking | about me.
My mother always said | money was a burden.
She just never told me | it was this heavy.
Look at these pukes.
They really think | they're gonna pull this off.
Last stop coming up.
Hey, how come | you always get to do the driving and I always get to do the lifting? Because it was my plan.
We've got weights | in the other armored car to make it look like | it's loaded.
- I sure hope Bolton goes for this.
| - Me too.
No, no.
Wait, wait, wait.
Look how light it's riding.
Mueller was right on the money.
We're just gonna sit tight | and wait to pick them apples.
There she is, boys.
See how low it's riding | in the frame, huh? - Let's get to it.
| - Let's go.
Is that yellow four-by | still behind us? He's there.
Okay, listen up.
| He's taking to Wyant cut-off.
If he takes a right, that means | Old Forest Road right into Fort\ Wort\h.
That ought to give us plenty | of time and room to move.
Bludgeon to Cash and Carry.
| Old Forest Road.
We'll take it down at mile six.
All right, move out.
Get ready, Trivette.
Bludgeon to Cash and Carry.
| Where are you? Mile seven, heading your way.
On target.
Pull off and lay low.
All right, mask up.
Make sure you got enough ammo.
Here.
Preston? Preston, come in.
We're here, Walker.
It's going down.
| Old Forest Road, mile six.
We're on our way.
Let's go, boys.
Hold on, Trivette.
Take out that car.
All right, Peterson, split up.
Move! I'm glad you're here.
- How many are there? | - About four or five.
You two, fall back, fall back.
Cuff him.
I'll take him.
So, what tipped you off | that Mueller was involved? Well, actually, | Trivette figured that one out.
Yeah, when Mueller told Walker | that Gibson called in sick I checked and found out | that Gibson lives in Fort\h Wort\h, but he works in Dallas, | which is a toll call, but there was no phone record | of any calls that morning.
So Mueller faked | his own heart\ attack? Yeah, well, he might've, | but we're not sure.
- Here you go, Dana.
| - Oh, thanks, Keith.
Keith.
Come here.
I wanna talk to you.
How you two getting along? We're taking it one day at a time.
| At least he's talking to me.
He's opening up.
| He's acting like a brother again.
Thanks to you.
That's not the only thing.
Thanks | for putting a word in to my captain.
You saved my hide.
Well, it was wort\h saving.
This potato salad is wonderful.
| I want the recipe.
Actually, it's C.
D.
's recipe.
He said it came over with his family | on the Mayflower.
- The Mayflower.
| - Right, right.
Look, I heard what happened in jail, so I was thinking I'd teach you | a basic self-defense move.
- Oh, I don't think that that | - No, it's okay, it's all right, because it never hurt\s | to be able to defend yourself.
I'm gonna teach you | something that Walker taught me.
It's called a single reverse hip throw.
| You ever heard of that? Oh, no.
We gotta watch this.
C.
D.
Hit me right here.
- I can't do that.
| - No, go ahead.
Give me a poke right here.
Jimmy, what are you doing? I'm teaching him a single reverse | hip throw that Walker taught me.
I don't think that's a good idea, | Trivette.
I'm not gonna hurt\ him.
| I knew this was gonna happen, man.
- You don't understand.
It's not | - I know this as well as you do, Walker.
Just Jimmy - Big Dog, I know what I'm doing.
| - Okay.
Okay.
All right, we'll go in slow motion | so he doesn't hurt\ himself.
Throw the punch.
Throw the punch.
| He throws the punch.
Step across, grab his back.
What was that? Well, that was the double reverse | hip throw.
My dad taught me that.
- Why didn't you tell me? | - We tried to tell you.
They did.
They sure did.
- It's gonna be a midnight run.
| - It's midnight right now.
You know what's going on, | he's looting another facility.
They'll be here.
He says they'll be here, | they'll be here.
How long you guys | known each other? DPS training.
We was a pair to draw to.
Me, the original hell-raiser, and Cordell | with that quiet, Cherokee attitude.
Gets real mad when he's pushed.
We put a Texas-sized hurt\ | on any bad guys who refused to salute the Rangers, | God and country, in that order.
Here they come.
Let's do it.
Let's go, Hanks.
Bet mine goes down first.
- I'll bet you dinner.
| - You got it.
- Damn.
| - A big steak, baked potatoes, - black-eyed peas.
| - All right, all right.
Those are ours.
No, actually, | those are yours now.
Put them on.
See, now I'm late for dinner.
| Put them on! Just like old times, Cordell.
You mean this is more fun | than working for the governor? That was a rotten thing | you did to me.
Better you than me.
Nobody in their right mind | would do this for a living, Cordell, unless it was in their blood.
Busting bad guys, hell, it's more | than thinking we make a difference.
It's a religious experience.
At least I used to tell Molly that, | but she'd just sit there in that quiet way of hers and say, "Logan, you'd better get yourself a | nice, safe job while you can still walk.
" Hey, kid, come on.
Are you ready for a ride | on the wild side? That's okay, Vernon.
Come on.
Now! You're not thinking | of hanging it up, are you? Amigo, some people get shot | out of cannons, some people climb mountains | to see what's on the other side, but me, I'm a Texas Ranger for life.
| You might as was well face it.
Dana, bless her heart\.
She's put her life on the same track.
But Keith, can't seem to get through to him.
The fishing trip didn't help? I don't know whether he hates fishing | or just hates me.
Ever since Molly died, l Well, he's a teenager, Logan.
| What can you do? Boy, howdy.
You know, raging hormones, | loud music, funny-looking haircut.
He got the whole package.
It's not easy.
Go get him! Whoa, there's an accident | waiting to happen.
They're cops, they're cops.
- Oh, come on.
Do something.
| - Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Oh, man, they're getting closer.
| Dude, they're right on us.
Shut up, shut up! Hey, hey, look out! Keith.
What do you want? I'm sorry? I don't know what happened.
| I wasn't even speeding.
We'll let the judge decide that.
| Take him in.
- Come on, son, let's go.
| - You have to come to the station.
It's not my fault.
I didn't wanna ride with him.
Honest.
But damn it, Keith, | you were riding with him.
- What the hell were you doing? | - I was just a passenger.
- I didn't have anything to do with it.
| - Don't cop an attitude with me, son.
Or what? What, you gonna ground me? I'm sick of being treated | like I was years old.
You know, Keith, | you could have been killed.
Dad? It's your brother again.
- I got your call, Walker.
Is he okay? | - Yeah, he's okay.
He's one lucky kid, though.
Are there any charges? Against the driver.
| Not against Keith if he cooperates.
And while you're at it, maybe you can figure out | what makes him tick, because I can't.
Good morning, yeah.
- You know what? | - What? That was something, man, | working with Logan Reno last night.
Did you know that his grandfather | was one of the original Texas Rangers that took down Bonnie and Clyde? Yep.
Oh, you knew that.
Why would you break up | a part\nership with him? I didn't.
He went to work for the governor | as his personal bodyguard.
That's how I wound up with you.
You're lucky to have me.
You know what? | I heard that it was you that was supposed to be | the governor's bodyguard.
Yeah, he tried.
But I convinced him that | Logan was the best man for the job.
I don't think | Logan's ever forgiven me for that.
I wonder what it would be like | to be Logan Reno's son? Well, maybe he'll adopt you.
Let's see, James Reno.
It has a ring to it.
James Reno, Texas Ranger.
- Hank, this looks interesting.
| - What you got? Cordell, Trivette, might have | something cooking here, boys.
What you got, pops? Pops? New business going down.
Perps wearing clown masks | using military precision.
Got some feedback on unsolves from | Houston, Tulsa and Oklahoma City.
They match two recent hits | in the metroplex.
Yeah, these boys know | what they're doing.
Yeah, they pulled several heists | in each of the cities.
Yeah, which means they'll hit again.
I hope you didn't get too soft | working for the governor, Logan.
Cordell, I'm meaner and tougher | than you ever hoped to be and I wanted to get back in action from the second | you railroaded me to Austin.
I didn't railroad you, Logan.
All I did was convince the governor | of his great qualities, that's all.
Sold me down the river's | what he did.
Trivette, you gotta watch him.
I used to consider this guy like | Like family.
Oh, that hurt\s, Logan.
| That really hurt\s.
Only kidding.
All right, gentlemen, | in minutes we cash out.
Lock and load.
Listen, Cordell, l I lost my temper | last night and I shouldn't have, but I honestly don't know what to do | about Keith.
Well, I'd just give him | a little space, Logan.
I'm sure he'll come around.
Well, I hope so.
This Sunday, Dana's | gonna cook up a roast, if you're free.
- Hey, you can count me in.
| - All right.
All right, people, suit up.
Bludgeon to Backup, we're going in.
Hey, what do you think | you're doing? Come on, lay down! Get down! Move, move, get the money! Move! Get that other sack.
Move.
All right.
Stay down! Get down! | Lady, don't move! All units, robbery in progress, | Benefit and Concert.
Dallas P.
D.
, | this is Texas Ranger Five, we're three minutes away | and responding.
Roger that.
Logan, go to Tech Two.
Looks like we're back in business, | Cordell.
I'll catch you later at C.
D.
's.
You'll catch us before that.
| We're your backup.
Don't make a move | until we get there.
Well, come on, part\ner.
| I'll flip you for the paperwork.
Quickly, people.
| Move, move.
Quickly.
Give me the money! Come on.
All right, let's move, let's go.
Texas Rangers.
Drop your weapons.
Okay.
Okay, you got us.
We'll go peacefully.
Any time, Backup.
Go! Move! Let's get out of here.
How is he? How is he? The cashier and the security guard | are all right.
Ranger Hanks caught one | in the lower back.
It's hard to say how he'll do.
The license numbers we got | were stolen.
Dana.
I'm sorry.
Dana? Come on, Dana.
Come on.
Logan Reno was a Texas Ranger, one of the finest | to ever wear the star.
His father was a Ranger, | as was his grandfather.
Logan loved his family, maybe more than they'll ever know.
And now he's with his beloved Molly.
Logan lived by a code, | and he spoke the truth as he saw it.
Something Logan used to say | rings more true today than ever before.
A Ranger who's not willing | to die for justice is not really a Ranger.
You're the best friend | a Ranger ever had, Logan, and I'm gonna miss you.
Forward, pull.
Fire position.
Move.
Ready, aim, fire.
Ready, aim, fire.
Ready, aim, fire.
Cease-fire.
Present halt.
This flag is presented | on behalf of the state of Texas in remembrance of the faithful and | honorable service of your loved one.
How's Wade Hanks? Well, they still got him | in intensive care.
He's gonna make it, though.
Whether he walks again, | that's another story.
- That's a damn shame.
| - Yeah.
You got any leads | on those shooters? Well, we found the van and | the four-by-four they used as backup, abandoned, wiped clean.
Both of them stolen.
Yeah, and we found | eight shell casings.
Same m.
o.
As the other jobs.
You know, you hit one of those | suckers an inch above the heart\, he barely even flinched.
Bulletproof vest.
Yeah.
So I put out a trace of the police | and military supply houses.
That had to be state-of-the-art\ | to stop that load.
Well, it's a shame | Dana lost her dad.
Now she's gotta raise | her kid brother.
Yeah, that's gonna be tough.
Yeah, she's a good person, though.
| She can handle it.
I hope so.
Hey, don't mess with my music.
Put the ball away.
| Get ready for school.
Who made you boss? Hey, playtime is over, Keith.
Now, it's been a week.
| We've gotta get on with our lives.
So I miss another day | of chopping up frogs, so what? Besides, they gave you time off.
That's the depart\ment's idea, | not mine.
You know I'd much | rather be working.
Yeah, if it's good enough for you, | it's good enough for me.
- Now give me the ball.
| - No, you are going to school.
No, you can't make me.
- Get in that house.
| - You're not my mother.
Hey, you two, I can hear you all | the way down the street.
- I cleaned out your father's locker.
| - Thanks.
Aren't you supposed | to be in school? - I'm not going.
| - Oh, yes, you are.
Go in there and get ready.
- Thanks, Walker.
| - How are you holding up? I've been better.
What am I gonna do with him? Well, he's been kicked | right in the gut again.
First your mom and now your dad.
It's gonna take time | for both of you.
I know.
I know, but I'm a cop.
I'm not a mother or a father.
Well, I'll talk to him, and don't forget, | I'm always here for you, okay? You know, there's something | you could do.
- What's that? | - Use your influence.
Get them to let me | come back to work, now.
I don't think it's a good idea.
Oh, come on.
You think it's therapeutic | sitting around all day, listening to the clock tick? Reading sympathy cards | and watching the funeral flowers wilt? I need to get back to work, Walker.
I'll see what I can do.
- Thanks.
| - Come on.
Hey.
Okay, people, this is not a drill.
| Suck floor.
Get the money.
| Get the money.
Give me the money.
Hand me the bag.
- Put the money in the bag.
| - What are you looking at? Do not look at me.
| Do you understand? Come on.
- Put the bags on the counter.
Now! | - Stay down.
Get down.
- Let's see your hands.
| - Get the money.
Go, go.
If anyone says anything about you | being late, have them call me.
Look, you don't understand.
You're wrong, Keith.
| I do understand.
When my parents were killed, | I felt just the same way you do.
I had a hard time | expressing my feelings too.
It's like I'm still numb.
I don't know what to feel.
I mean, I miss my dad but he was | the world's greatest everything.
Marine, Ranger, bass fisherman.
You name it, he had the T-shirt\.
Me, I'm the world's worst everything.
C's in all my classes, | didn't make the football team.
I don't even like fishing.
And the last thing on eart\h | I wanna do is be a Ranger.
That's all he ever | talked about, though.
I never even had a choice.
Well, I knew your father | as well as I knew anyone.
All he did was brag about you.
He loved you very much.
Well, how come | he never told me that? I guess he should've.
But now that he's gone you've gotta make | some smart\ choices, and one of those choices | is staying in school.
What, we back to that now? That's right, and I'm gonna see | that you stay in school.
Walker, come in.
- Go ahead.
| - Yeah, they hit again.
How much was taken? Two hundred-fifty thousand inside, | another to that was being delivered outside | by the armored car.
Thank you.
What are you doing here? - Making a deposit.
Why? | - Come on, Dana.
Okay, I heard it on the scanner.
Look, I'm not gonna sit around | watching TV all day.
I need to get back to work.
Have you talked to Preston? I just left you.
Now go home.
You don't understand.
| I have to be involved in this.
As soon as we get a lead, | you'll be the first one to know.
No, I want in on it now.
Dana, you're too close to this.
You were my father's best friend.
I still am.
Now go home.
Wish I could be more help, but all I saw | was three guys in clown masks.
The next thing I remember was him | holding up two fingers and asking if I could count to one.
What happened? I'm sorry, Mr.
Mueller.
| We didn't have a prayer.
Who are you, sir? Burt\ Mueller.
It's our company.
We got the security | and the armored trucks.
Well, Mr.
Mueller, I'm afraid | one of your guards has been killed.
Who was it? Tom Housley.
I should've got | out of the truck sooner.
Oh, my God.
- Hey, hey, hey.
| - Okay, okay, here we go.
Come on, in the chair here.
Okay.
Looks like a heart\ attack.
Osheroff, get me some oxygen | and an IV.
- What hospital? | - Memorial.
Memorial Hospital.
They're taking him in for tests.
Remind me to get | a physical next week.
- You just had a physical.
| - Remind me to get another one.
Funny how life turns out.
Logan always dreamed of Keith | going into law enforcement, but it wound up being his daughter.
Think Keith will come around? I sure hope so.
Look at this.
The point man takes out the guard, the two flankers | cover the back and side.
All the bagman has to do | is collect the money.
Not one wasted move.
Just like a precision | military operation.
Haven't been able to match | that exact m.
o.
With any other gang.
Looks like we got | a whole new wild bunch here.
Let's see what we got.
So far, they've collected , | from the supermarket, , from the check cashing store, , from the concert\ and , from the bank.
So they're climbing the ladder.
Each hit's topping the last.
The van and the four-by-four | seen outside the bank were found abandoned.
| Both are hot.
What about the military angle? I generated a list of dishonorable | dischargees in the area.
What about vets that had a problem | with the military police? And I accessed the Army | and the Marine Corp database, so that's names | that fit the profile.
Make that .
| Four of them are doing time.
Walker.
Thanks, Fowler.
The lab came up with a clean print | off one of the shell casings, and R & I came up with a hit.
Manny Alberado.
Manny Alberado.
Hello.
Dishonorably discharged | after Desert\ Storm.
Suspected of three | strong-arm robberies.
Fugitive warrant outstanding.
I think he fits the profile.
You got an address? Nothing.
Well, I think our next move | is to go where military and wanna-be military types | hang out.
Does that mean the Hunt Club? Yep.
Nobody goes to the Hunt Club | without a SWAT escort\.
We do.
Walker.
I know how hard | losing Logan must be, so if there's anything I can do, | or even if you just wanna talk I appreciate it.
- Manny Alberado.
| - Yeah, I remember him, vaguely.
Has he been in lately? No, not for a couple of weeks.
- You know where we can find him? | - What do I look like, his travel agent? Are you still running | those illegal card games in the back? Touch that and I'll break your finger.
- Well, you wanna go check? | - Sure.
So are you winning, Manny? Manny? No way, man.
A lot of people tell me | I look like that guy, but I'm not him.
Isn't that right, Jumbo? Then you won't mind coming | downtown, answering some questions.
He's not going anywhere | until he finishes this hand.
Well, he was bluffing, anyway.
Thank you very much.
Are you sure it was the Rangers? I saw the badges.
Bart\ender recognized one of them.
Walker's the name.
I gotta tell you, | this dude ain't nobody to mess with.
Teele's right, man.
That Walker, | he's a legend around here.
What's your point, Ross? We about got | what we came here for, right? You know, maybe we ought to | fold our tent, split the cash, | let's get the hell out of Dodge.
That just cost you percent | of your share, Ross.
Anybody else here | concerned about the Ranger, huh? I didn't think so.
Hey, what's shaking, Hanks? Well as can be expected.
Heard you nailed one of them.
Yeah, we nailed him, | but the judge let him out.
All we got was name, rank | and serial number.
What the hell | are you doing here, then? You ought to be out tracking | the rest of those scumsuckers.
Just thought we'd drop by and see | if there's anything we can do.
Nothing.
Nothing at all.
Not unless you could spare | a couple of healthy legs.
Hey, don't mind me.
L I know I'm better off than Logan.
I am gonna fight this thing until I'm standing on my feet and look the slime | who did this square in the eye.
And we're gonna see | that you do it too.
I'm glad to see you're okay.
Oh, that makes two of us.
You ever see so much paperwork? You'd think there was really | something the matter with me.
Heart\ attacks aren't something | to joke about there, Mr.
Mueller.
I know, but it looks like | I beat this one before it beat me.
You ever see this guy hanging around, | talking to your guards or employees? No, sir, I can't say as I have.
Could he have been the one | that hit your truck? I told you, | they were wearing masks, No, sorry, | I have never seen that guy before.
Tell me something.
You gentlemen really think some | of my people are involved in this? Well, we're not | ruling anything out.
Thanks.
They're our guys.
They changed their pattern, though.
| They used a limo and a laundry truck.
How bad is it? One dead, two wounded.
Yeah, they took , in cash.
They knew to hit | when the vault was full.
So it's probably an inside job.
Yeah, I think so.
So we're checking the credit union, the armored-car company | and the accounting firm.
Well, I just came from downtown.
The mayor wants to put together | a task force, all city, state | and county law enforcement agencies, and your captain wants you two | to head up the Rangers.
The DA's office has been working | with Rangers Walker and Trivette.
Now they have developed several lists | of potential suspects, but these men are on our A list.
And they all fit the ex-military profile, and they're all known | to be in the area but nowhere to be found.
We know this sucker's involved.
We busted him on an assault charge.
| We got him downstairs.
Right now he's being | less than cooperative.
What about his known associates? We're running them.
| I'll have a list for you this afternoon.
All right, what we got is, | every hit is bigger than the last one and Walker thinks that they're using | one robbery to train for the next, so if he's right, then the next target | could exceed over a million dollars.
The logical move | would be to research the firms that have that kind of cash on hand.
And stake them out.
Now we're talking about | a lot of manpower here.
I don't know if we can make | that many officers available.
Have the mayor | cut you a bigger check.
I don't care if it's a meter maid.
We need someone peeking in | every time a cash drawer is opened.
I'll see what I can do.
| Anything else? Yeah, there is one thing.
We have reason to believe | that this is an inside job.
We're doing background checks | on all past and current employees.
That's good.
| Hopefully that'll narrow it down some.
Okay, we got a lot of work to do.
| Let's get out there and get busy.
- I'll see you later inside.
| - You got it, Walker.
What's the matter, Dana? - Keith's gone.
| - Where? I don't know.
| We had a fight, he stormed out and said he wasn't coming back.
- I'll see if I can find him.
| - Walker, it's my fault.
I'm driving us both crazy.
| L I can't stay home.
I gotta get back to work.
Hey, Bob? You think you could put Dana | back on duty? - Well, you think it's the best thing? | - Yeah, I do.
Okay, you go back on patrol, | but you let Walker handle this case.
- You understand me? | - Yes, sir.
Thanks.
- Thank you.
| - Okay.
Prevent Security.
- Hands up now! | - Get down! - Nobody move! | - Come on.
Metro Three we're at sport\s arena | on a suspicious van.
Send us backup.
Rangers Two, what's your position? - We're at Commerce and Elm.
| - Go to Tack Six.
Rangers Two, over.
We got a call from Metro Officers | at Dallas Arena requesting backup.
Suspicious vehicle, | armored car on the scene.
We're on it.
Come on, go, go, go! Backup, earn your keep.
Go, go, go.
Let's go, let's go.
Quickly.
- Come on.
| - Bolton! How you doing? Hey, I got an officer down nort\h side | of the sport\s arena.
Send an ambulance.
He shot his own man.
Yeah, these guys | don't leave any witnesses.
What did he yell? Bolton? Sounded like it.
Why don't you run a check on every | Bolton that has a military background.
All right.
Walker, I got him.
Mitch Bolton, captain, | Special Forces.
Explosives specialist, | mart\ial art\s expert\.
Dishonorably discharged.
Suspected of tort\uring prisoners.
That's a bad boy.
Hard to believe | he was ever on Special Forces.
Just like a bad cop.
I'll put this out | on a city-wide bulletin.
We gotta find out | who the inside man is on this.
Why don't you take this over | to Sundance Security.
- I'll talk to Mueller at Prevent.
| - All right.
No, sir, this is a bad hombre.
I never saw him before in my life, and a fellow like this could never | get mixed up with my outfit.
Who knows the schedules | of your runs and the amounts being transport\ed? Clete Gibson would know that.
- Who's he? | - My dispatcher.
Been with me years.
I'd like to talk to him.
He called in sick this morning.
I'd like to talk to him anyway.
- You have an address? | - I do.
As a matter of fact, I'll go with you.
You meet Clete Gibson, | you'll know in a minute he's not mixed up in any of this.
- Let's go.
| - You bet you.
I appreciate your bringing me | along here.
I think you're barking up | the wrong tree, though.
I've known this fellow a long time.
| He's almost like family to me.
Well, we'll see, Mr.
Mueller.
I thought you said he called in sick? Well, he did.
You know, could be | he's at the doctor's.
He could be a hundred places.
Just because he's not here, | you know, don't make him a criminal.
Is this supposed to be here? No, sir, it's not.
You know, after years, you'd think you'd get to know a fellow, | wouldn't you? I'll be damned.
This is Walker.
Contact Trivette.
Have him get everything he can on a Prevent Security employee | named Clete Gibson.
You got that? Clete Gibson.
That's Gibson's car, all right.
His phone records show | he made three toll calls to that house this morning.
Like he had something | real urgent on his mind.
Let's go find out.
It's Clete Gibson.
Wanna help me? - Got him? | - Okay.
- He's booby trapped, Trivette.
| - What? Hold him up.
I can't believe | I was so damned stupid.
What do you wanna do? Well, when he goes down, | this place is going up, so let's run like hell, on three.
- On three? | - Ready? One, two, three.
You okay? Did you say two or three? Three for you, two for me.
Oh, man.
Bolton led us right into a trap.
He wanted us to find Clete Gibson.
So he kills Gibson to keep him quiet.
Or to take suspicion away | from the real inside man.
You got any idea who that might be? Have you completed | your background check on all the employees | at Sundance and Prevent Security? Wait.
One moment.
Did we not almost get our butts | blown off back over there? Should I take that as a no? Looking good.
It's better than kicking in the wall | at home.
I've looked everywhere for Keith.
| Has he called? No.
Walker, I am worried sick.
Well, I know what he's going through, | Dana.
When my folks were killed, | I rebelled just like he's doing.
Yeah, well, what if | something happens to him? Well, don't worry.
We'll find him.
Come on.
We drank up all the beer, man.
That sucks.
We need a beer run.
I'm busted.
| All my money went on bail.
What am I gonna do? Put it on my account, man.
You know that's funny.
Hey, Keith, you steer, man.
I'm gonna need both hands free.
I hear you're having | a hundred-percent-off sale.
Michelle, grab me some cigarettes.
- Hey, how you doing? | - Yeah, I'm fine You're taking a bear? | You gotta be kidding me.
Hey, hey, hey, put the phone down.
| Put the phone down.
- Hold it right there! | - All right, I got those two.
- Come on, man.
Vernon, he's a cop.
| - He's not taking me down.
- No! | - Freeze! Drop the knife.
What have you got? We may have something on | that inside man we've been looking for.
- Oh, yeah? | - Yeah.
Mitch Bolton.
He was suspected | of stealing military ordinance and selling it | to drug dealers in Panama.
But nobody can nail him for the scam | because he used a middle man.
You know who it is? Not yet, but at about the same time, Eugene Whitney applied for a passport\ | and took a little trip to Panama too.
- Interesting.
| - Yep.
Whitney's neighbors say | he keeps to himself.
Doesn't live above his means.
Well, not yet, but my guess | is Bolton's still controlling the money.
According to the schedule, | that's the last stop.
Well, now we'll follow him | to the Federal Reserve Depository, then we'll call it a day.
Damn.
I told Mueller this unit needed | a new fuel pump.
Just sit tight.
I'll check it out.
Rangers, damn.
Bludgeon to Backup.
| Abort\ the mission.
Repeat.
Abort the mission.
Abort\ed.
Just a loose sparkplug wire.
I don't get it.
If there was ever a time for a hit, | this was it.
Bolton made us.
Hey, leave me alone, man.
| I'm not bothering you.
What's your name? Keith.
Keith Reno.
Where'd you get them boots, Keith? They belonged to my father.
I want them.
Now.
Forget it.
Well, well, I'll bet you could use | a black cup of coffee about now.
C.
D.
You're a mind reader.
Nope, nope, I just read the signs and your signs say | you haven't slept in a good while.
How about that? It's been a while.
That's not good, Alex.
Well, working with this task force | has not lightened my caseload any, and there's just not enough hours | in the day to get it all done.
It's Cordell, isn't it? I thought you weren't a mind reader.
I don't know what | I'm doing wrong, C.
D.
I mean, we are so close, | we're such good friends, and when he needs a friend most | that's when he pulls away from me.
Well, sometimes a man | just has to keep to himself.
Why? I mean, I know he's hurt\ing | over Logan's death, and every time I mention it | he clams up tighter than a drum.
Honey, a man's just got to do | what he's got to do.
No, he doesn't.
I'm there for him.
| I mean, at least I wanna be.
Alex, let me tell you something.
One time Cordell was engaged | to this little girl out in El Paso.
Pretty little gal.
Little redhead.
He was a young trooper.
Every time they were together, Christmas, New Year's Eve, | Fourt\h of July.
They really loved each other.
He took a bullet one day.
| Wasn't his fault.
You know, so many of us | are just gonna get shot every year, and that's what happened to him.
He was in intensive care, but he pulled out of it, | just kept working at it, and that little old gal | was right by his side.
Well, when he got up and about, she just confronted him.
The badge or me.
Of course, he took the badge.
I think he lost a little bit | of himself then, hon.
He never told me about this.
Alex, it's awful hard for Cordell | to open up.
He don't wanna get hurt\ again, and he don't wanna hurt\ nobody.
Kitty, kitty.
I'm home.
Hi, kitty.
How you doing? Hey, kitty, you miss me? Did you miss me today? Yeah.
Old dad had a big day, | let me tell you that.
I'm gonna get me a beer, and I'm gonna get you a kitty beer.
You got your kitty litter packed? Two more days | and we'll be in paradise.
Whitney.
Bolton, what are you doing here? Things have changed.
You got this Ranger's | been dogging you all day long.
- He's onto you.
| - But how? But how? | Doesn't make any difference how.
He died good, didn't he? | Let's ride.
Hands up, knees on the ground.
Nobody move! Back off, chump! - Get down! | - Hands behind your heads! Jewels in the bag, lady.
| Jewels in the bag.
Move! The estimated take | was over $ million.
The mayor's gonna have me | for lunch on this one.
- Anything pan out with that driver? | - No.
He didn't show up for work today.
| We checked his apart\ment.
He's gone.
Preston.
Yeah, he's here.
It's for you.
It's a guard down at juvenile hall.
Yeah? Heard they tried to take your boots.
I see you still got them.
I also heard | you saved a lawman's life.
Your dad would've been | real proud of you.
He wouldn't have been proud of you | and your friend ripping off that store.
Things just got out of hand.
I'm sorry.
Come on, let's go.
- Jimmy? | - Yo? Where's Walker? - You wanna sit down? | - No.
Where is he? You heard? My father is turning over | in his grave.
Now I know that Walker bailed Keith | out.
Where'd they go after that? I don't know.
| Maybe Maybe he drove him home? I just came from there.
Maisy? Yeah, where's Walker? Hey, I know that guy.
A few months back | he and some friends took apart\ a topless bar | at Bockman Lake.
Yeah, thanks.
I'm running known associates | on our prime suspect.
His name's Mitch Bolton.
We think this guy's part\ | of the gang that killed your father.
Trivette, can I see you a minute? What did we come here for? No part\icular reason.
Just thought I'd say hello | to your dad.
Well, we're still after the guys | that took you down, Logan, but we'll get them.
You know that.
I guess you heard | about your son, Keith getting himself | into a little bit of a scrape, huh? Well, I think he learned his lesson.
He can't hear you.
He's dead.
It's too late.
| Doesn't matter anymore.
It does matter, Keith, and it's never too late.
I lost my parents | when I was a young boy, but that doesn't stop me | from talking to them and they're pretty good | listeners too.
I'll bet your dad's a good listener, and I'll bet he'd love | to hear from you.
What do I say? Whatever comes from the heart\.
Hey, Dad.
I really screwed up.
Made a mess of things.
You're doing fine.
I didn't mean for this to happen.
I didn't mean for a lot of things | to happen.
It feels funny talking to you this way.
I wish I wish I could see you again, Dad, because, you know, I really I really miss you a lot.
I never thought I would, all those fights, | but I always thought you'd be there.
But I guess things don't work out | like we'd like all the time.
Why? Why did it have to be you? Why did you have to go there | and be killed? I never got a chance | to say goodbye.
I never got a chance to tell you I love you.
- Hey, mama, how you doing? | - All right.
What can I do you for, little lady? - Name it.
It's on the house.
| - I'm not thirsty.
I never knew a customer | to turn down a freebie.
Well, I'm looking for some friends.
| Maybe you've seen them.
I hear this is their second home.
Lady, I just pour drinks | and wash glasses.
Hey, look at this.
A female cop.
You know these guys? Never seen them before.
Now why is it I don't believe you? You calling me a liar? No, no, of course not.
Now, I'm personally offering $ for information | leading to the arrest of these men.
Oh, come on, boys, don't be shy.
My money spends | just as good as anyone's.
You're gonna be sorry | you ever came in here.
Now you're really gonna be sorry.
Let her go.
Can't shoot an unarmed man.
I'll do more than that | if you don't let her go.
Why don't you just turn around | and leave while you still can? You sound like a man huffing up | to do something real stupid.
Not as stupid as you | coming in here in the first place.
Why don't you show me | just how stupid I am? Anyone else stupid? How did you know I was here? Trivette noticed his printer was on, | figured what you were up to.
Oh, thank God.
Dana, you never go into a place | like that without backup.
- You should know better than that.
| - L I know.
L I'm sorry.
- I thought I could handle it.
| - Well, now you know.
Walker? - Walker, come in.
Are you there? | - Yeah.
You wanna pick me up? | We got a meeting with Preston.
I got it.
- Here you go.
| - Thanks.
- Is one of them Eugene Whitney? | - Oh, yeah.
Mueller's driver.
Bought it | with a single shot to the head.
What about the other guy? Manny Alberado.
Same thing.
ME puts the death two days ago.
Bolton's thinning out | his shareholders.
I've got an idea, but it's gonna take | Burt\ Mueller's cooperation.
Whitney too? | He was my first driver.
My God, | why would he do this to me? Who knows? Maybe all those years | of carrying other people's money.
- He decided to take a little for himself.
| - Yeah.
We've got a plan to nail these guys, | but we'll need your help.
- Yes, sir, you name it.
| - Anything.
Well, the biggest run of the month | is tomorrow, right? Yes, sir.
Tomorrow we pick up five banks, the military base, | and the Dallas Arena.
We take $ million | to the Federal Reserve.
And Whitney normally | makes that run, which means Bolton | will know all about it.
Gentlemen, if anything happens | to that money, I'm out of business.
- It's that simple.
| - Nothing's gonna happen.
Trivette and I are gonna | make that run for you.
But after all the money's loaded, we're gonna switch it | to another armored car.
And Bolton will follow us | in the empty armored car.
So the armored car with the money is gonna take the back roads | to Fort\ Wort\h.
Well, you're the Texas Rangers.
Sounds to me like | you know what you're doing.
Well, we appreciate | your cooperation, Mr.
Mueller.
I'm gonna tell you | something, fellows.
We're gonna be in high cotton.
One more hit's all we got.
Hold it, boys.
Change of plans.
- The deal's off.
| - What do you mean? Rangers.
Texas, by God, Rangers.
That Ranger's been a day | behind all along.
Well, he's caught up.
Matter of fact, | he's got a little bit ahead now.
Him and his part\ner are gonna dress | up like guards and drive the truck, make the pickups, then they're gonna switch the money | into a decoy and send that to the depository.
That don't make any difference.
We'll still follow the vehicle | with the money, right? No, sir.
It'll be driven by cops too, you see.
And if I know this Walker | he'll have enough firepower on it to take out a small town.
That don't scare us.
| Makes it more entert\aining, right? Say, why'd you have to kill Whitney? He was a liability.
He was my friend.
You know, Walker had it nailed.
He said Whitney had hauled somebody else's money around | for so long it made him crazy.
Figured he had to take | some for himself.
Look how he wound up.
A tired old man in a little stinking | hovel with an old scrawny cat.
Hell, he could've been talking | about me.
My mother always said | money was a burden.
She just never told me | it was this heavy.
Look at these pukes.
They really think | they're gonna pull this off.
Last stop coming up.
Hey, how come | you always get to do the driving and I always get to do the lifting? Because it was my plan.
We've got weights | in the other armored car to make it look like | it's loaded.
- I sure hope Bolton goes for this.
| - Me too.
No, no.
Wait, wait, wait.
Look how light it's riding.
Mueller was right on the money.
We're just gonna sit tight | and wait to pick them apples.
There she is, boys.
See how low it's riding | in the frame, huh? - Let's get to it.
| - Let's go.
Is that yellow four-by | still behind us? He's there.
Okay, listen up.
| He's taking to Wyant cut-off.
If he takes a right, that means | Old Forest Road right into Fort\ Wort\h.
That ought to give us plenty | of time and room to move.
Bludgeon to Cash and Carry.
| Old Forest Road.
We'll take it down at mile six.
All right, move out.
Get ready, Trivette.
Bludgeon to Cash and Carry.
| Where are you? Mile seven, heading your way.
On target.
Pull off and lay low.
All right, mask up.
Make sure you got enough ammo.
Here.
Preston? Preston, come in.
We're here, Walker.
It's going down.
| Old Forest Road, mile six.
We're on our way.
Let's go, boys.
Hold on, Trivette.
Take out that car.
All right, Peterson, split up.
Move! I'm glad you're here.
- How many are there? | - About four or five.
You two, fall back, fall back.
Cuff him.
I'll take him.
So, what tipped you off | that Mueller was involved? Well, actually, | Trivette figured that one out.
Yeah, when Mueller told Walker | that Gibson called in sick I checked and found out | that Gibson lives in Fort\h Wort\h, but he works in Dallas, | which is a toll call, but there was no phone record | of any calls that morning.
So Mueller faked | his own heart\ attack? Yeah, well, he might've, | but we're not sure.
- Here you go, Dana.
| - Oh, thanks, Keith.
Keith.
Come here.
I wanna talk to you.
How you two getting along? We're taking it one day at a time.
| At least he's talking to me.
He's opening up.
| He's acting like a brother again.
Thanks to you.
That's not the only thing.
Thanks | for putting a word in to my captain.
You saved my hide.
Well, it was wort\h saving.
This potato salad is wonderful.
| I want the recipe.
Actually, it's C.
D.
's recipe.
He said it came over with his family | on the Mayflower.
- The Mayflower.
| - Right, right.
Look, I heard what happened in jail, so I was thinking I'd teach you | a basic self-defense move.
- Oh, I don't think that that | - No, it's okay, it's all right, because it never hurt\s | to be able to defend yourself.
I'm gonna teach you | something that Walker taught me.
It's called a single reverse hip throw.
| You ever heard of that? Oh, no.
We gotta watch this.
C.
D.
Hit me right here.
- I can't do that.
| - No, go ahead.
Give me a poke right here.
Jimmy, what are you doing? I'm teaching him a single reverse | hip throw that Walker taught me.
I don't think that's a good idea, | Trivette.
I'm not gonna hurt\ him.
| I knew this was gonna happen, man.
- You don't understand.
It's not | - I know this as well as you do, Walker.
Just Jimmy - Big Dog, I know what I'm doing.
| - Okay.
Okay.
All right, we'll go in slow motion | so he doesn't hurt\ himself.
Throw the punch.
Throw the punch.
| He throws the punch.
Step across, grab his back.
What was that? Well, that was the double reverse | hip throw.
My dad taught me that.
- Why didn't you tell me? | - We tried to tell you.
They did.
They sure did.
