Walker, Texas Ranger s04e01 Episode Script

Do you have any idea | where you're going, Trivette? It's not that much fart\her.
| It's just a few more miles.
- You said that a half hour ago.
| - Trust me.
We're almost there.
Almost where, Trivette? We're out in the middle of nowhere.
This can't be the right way.
That's what it says on the map.
We're lost, Trivette.
Look, don't you blame me.
These are the directions they gave.
I'm trying to figure out | why Judge Hollister wants to meet us here, | in the middle of nowhere.
Well, nowhere would be somewhere, | if you hadn't gotten us lost.
- I guess you could've done better.
| - Yeah, I think so.
Look, just because you're | part\ Cherokee doesn't mean that | you have a better sense of direction.
Being Cherokee | has nothing to do with it.
I just have a better | sense of direction than you do.
I don't think so.
Oh, okay.
- Which way is west? | - West? - Yes.
| - West is thataway.
That's south, I told you we were lost.
Somebody's playing | a practical joke on us.
I just know that Judge Hollister's | back in Dallas, laughing his head off.
Well, maybe not.
| That could be his place there.
Yes, I did not get us lost.
Must mean I'm part\ Cherokee.
Right, maybe that much.
Well, howdy, boys.
- Hello, judge.
| - What brings you out here? We got a message that | you wanted to see us right away.
Well, must be some kind of mix-up.
| I didn't call you.
No, I'm sure the message | had your name on it, judge.
Maybe somebody's | playing a practical joke.
Hey, you boys wanna go fishing? Thanks anyway, judge, | but we're on duty.
Well, you're gonna have to | excuse me.
The bass are biting on Oakridge Lake, | and I'm gonna get my limit today.
Sorry about | the inconvenience, gentlemen.
Have a good trip back.
Boy, if I find out | who sent that phony message We've been driving two hours.
Well, it wouldn't have been two hours | if you hadn't gotten us lost.
I found the place.
Well, anyone can find anything | if they drive long enough, Trivette.
All right, if it makes you feel better, | I'll ask Judge Hollister for directions.
- Maybe he knows a short\cut.
| - Come on, I know how to get back.
Let's go.
Trivette! Trivette.
Easy, Trivette.
| I'll get you to a hospital.
Hey, Walker, the judge was just the first one.
I wanted you to see it, because I'm saving you for the last.
Who's that? Max Kale.
How did Max Kale escape prison? They thought he was | a low-risk inmate, so they put him | in a minimum-security facility.
Then he kills a guard | and five inmates.
What genius would let | a psychopath like Max Kale out of maximum security? A psychiatrist.
Ranger Walker, your part\ner took | some shrapnel-type wounds.
He's okay, | but he'll be real sore for a while.
Man, will you take it easy? - Hi.
| - Jimmy, how you feeling? Oh, man, I got the Holy Anvil Chorus | ringing in my head.
Thirt\y-seven stitches | on my butt and back.
I feel great.
You're lucky.
| A little closer to that bomb blast, and you'd be | singing with the angels.
I'd like to sing to Max Kale.
I'll tell you this This thing hurt\s.
The local anesthesia's wearing off.
| You'd better lie still.
- Take Ranger Trivette to his room.
| - Okay, take it easy.
Ranger Walker, | there's an urgent phone call for you.
- Walker.
| - This is Dr.
Jane Pine.
I don't know if you remember me.
- I testified at Max Kale's trial.
| - Yeah, I remember you, doctor.
Kale called my radio show.
He's on the line right now.
I recognized his voice | and contacted your office.
They've start\ed a trace.
Well, keep him on the line | as long as you can.
I've gone to a commercial, | but I can't stall forever.
Oh, commercial's over.
| I'll do my best.
- Do you have a radio? | - Yes, right over here.
Alex.
This is Dr.
Jane Pine on KRDW, | and we have a caller on the line.
A caller? Come on, doc.
You know who I am.
Max Kale.
Max, I'm glad you called.
You sound like you have | a lot on your mind.
My mind? | Funny you should mention that.
You're the one that said | that I was crazy.
It was nothing personal, Max.
I just gave the court | my professional opinion.
Because of you, they stuck me | in an asylum for the criminally insane.
Give me another chance.
Maybe there's some way | that I could help you.
Yeah.
Oh, answer me this.
If I'm so crazy, how come | I had the smarts to break out, huh? I always considered you | highly intelligent, Max, that's why I want to talk to you.
You already have talked to me, doc.
Every day on the radio, and I learned.
Oh, you taught me | all the right buzzwords, self-responsibility, getting in touch | with my inner feelings.
Those fools, they lapped it up, and they thought they cured me.
They were just trying to help you, Max.
| Just reaching out to you.
They're fools.
And a fool's mouth | is his destruction.
Proverbs : .
- You've been reading the Bible.
| - Memorized it.
Then you know what it says | about love and forgiveness.
And I know what it says | about retribution against the unjust.
Judge not that ye be not judged.
Matthew : .
Now, I sit in judgment of you.
Please, Max, we have to talk.
Oh, we will talk.
We will.
We'll be taking a short station break.
He is so frightening.
He said I was going to be last, which means | there's others on his hit list, which could include you.
So I'm putting you | under -hour protection.
- Walker, I mean, I've got | - Don't even argue, Alex.
Judge Hollister sentenced him, | and now he's dead, and you're the one | that prosecuted him.
Well, what about Dr.
Pine | and Kale's ex-wife? They're the ones | who testified against him.
I'm putting them | under protection too.
I'm gonna go talk to Dr.
Pine.
I read Kale's psychological review.
It makes him out | to be a model inmate.
Who made the evaluation? The staff at the psychiatric facility | where Kale was locked up.
They made a big mistake.
Yeah, well, | that mistake got a judge killed.
They didn't know that Kale | was one of the best.
- Best at what? | - Lying.
Every psychological test | Kale was given showed that he was | making dramatic progresses.
Hard to believe | that he faked all of that.
It's even harder to believe that he found the makings | for a bomb in an asylum.
Yeah, he was a master at that.
I feel sorry for Kale's doctors.
They were taken in by him.
- It could've happened to me.
| - Yeah, but it didn't.
Why not? Sometimes it just | comes down to a gut feeling.
That's part\ly | what the asylum staff went by.
Unfort\unately, in this case | they were wrong.
Yeah.
We'll make sure you have | round-the-clock protection, Miss Cahill.
Thanks, | that makes me breathe a lot easier.
- Got us a Ranger.
| - He's a cute one, eh? Where's Angela? - Angela ain't receiving today.
| - That's right.
Angela ain't receiving today? You heard me.
Now, you're gonna receive a lot more | than you bargained for, bud, - if you don't get out of my way.
| - Oh, yeah? You still have all the moves, Walker.
Hi, Angela.
It's been a long time.
Is that Lori? Yeah.
She's done a lot of growing up | in three years, hasn't she? Yeah, she sure has.
- We gotta talk.
| - Come on in.
Go out and play, sweetie.
You guys know the drill.
All right.
- Give me a hand up, will you? | - Yeah, get up.
- Beer? | - No, thanks.
Well, I guess this isn't a social call.
I wanna know why | you refused protective custody.
I've got those junkyard dogs | out front to protect me.
That is if you don't | bust them for assault.
I'm not gonna bust them, but they don't | impress me very much.
Not many men do.
Angela, Max killed the judge | who prosecuted him.
Now, you turned him in.
He's gonna | come after you too, Angela.
It seems I spent most of | my married life in fear of Max.
He used to beat me black and blue.
The day I testified against him is the day I vowed | never to hide from Max again.
What about Lori? Max won't hurt\ Lori.
There's nothing I can say | to change your mind? Okay.
Walker, you did me a big favor | when you arrested Max.
Probably wouldn't be alive today | if you hadn't.
You just be careful.
Yeah.
All right, I'm not gonna bust you guys, | but you'd better protect her.
Now, get out of the truck.
Move.
Get out, come on.
Put up the tailgate.
Walker, | why do you wanna kill my dad? Who said I wanted to kill your dad? He wrote me a letter and told me.
I don't want your father dead, but he wants to hurt\ | some innocent people, Lori, - including your mother.
| - He'd never hurt\ my mom.
Never.
He loves her.
You're lying.
- Walker.
| - What are you doing at Angela's? She's not next.
Alex is.
You touch Alex, | I'll tear your heart\ out, Kale.
Better hurry.
| She's home waiting for you.
The bomb is rigged to go off | two minutes after the door's opened, and it'll go off if you touch it.
You gotta get out of here.
- Be right back.
| - Walker.
Walker, it's seconds.
| You've gotta get out of here.
There's three wires, Alex.
If I cut the wrong one I'm sorry.
I was just so scared.
I know, I know.
I was a little tense myself.
Now Max Kale's back, | apparently seeking revenge on the people who helped | bring him to justice.
The question is, | who will become his next victim before authorities stop him | once and for all? How you feeling? I hardly slept at all last night.
| I kept seeing Kale looking at me.
The eyes of a madman.
Well, this time we're gonna | hide you where no one can find you.
I'm worried about you too.
I mean, something about Kale | tells me he's not afraid of dying.
Cordell, I want you to see this.
This fella's got a record | as long as a snake's neck.
You know what he did when | he was years old? He tried to blow up | one of the neighbor's homes.
- What set him off? | - Well, the neighbor complained that he was riding his bicycle through | the flower beds, tearing them up.
Every neighbor out there, at one time | or another's, complained about him.
Should've thrown that sucker | in jail right then and there - and saved a lot of lives.
| - What are you doing here? You're supposed to be | in the hospital.
I heard about you.
You all right? I'm fine, thank you.
Jimmy, I know you're hurt\.
| Just bless your heart\.
Just take it easy.
I couldn't lie in bed while | watching soaps and game shows, when somebody's | trying to kill my friends.
That's me.
- Walker.
| - You surprise me, Walker.
Didn't know | you could disarm a bomb.
Kale.
I'm the one that brought you in, Kale.
| Why don't you come after me? Yea, though I walk through the valley | of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.
Psalms .
Recognize it? Take me on, Kale, | unless you're afraid.
Spoken like a true Texas Ranger.
Your time will come, Walker.
Your time will come.
We got it? Park Street and McNelly Avenue.
Hey, Walker, | the judge was just the first one.
They're fools.
I'm saving you for the last.
Now, I sit in judgment of you.
Hello, Walker.
Wanna go for a little ride? Look to your left.
- Walker.
| - Here's the drill.
Five minutes, a bomb goes off.
Dead bodies everywhere.
Yeah, you can save them, | if you got the guts to follow me.
- Where's the bomb, Kale? | - Real close, part\ner.
Real close.
This is Dr.
Jane Pine on KRDW, | and we have a caller on the line.
Hi, doc.
Your pal Max, | and you know what day it is? Judgment Day, that's right.
Doc, today's the day | you pay for your sins, and I promise you, it's gonna be | up close and personal.
- Yeah? | - That was just a small blast.
Get ready for the big one.
Get away from that building.
| There's a bomb.
- Go.
Get away.
| - There's a bomb.
Walker.
Walker, I got your message | about Dr.
Pine, and that police woman | who was guarding her.
Oh, my God, | another two people killed.
When's this maniac gonna stop? Not until he feels | he's had his revenge.
He'll go after Angela next.
| I've gotta stop him.
- Lori, where's your mother? | - She isn't here.
She went shopping.
- Where'd she go? | - She left for Butler Junction about ten minutes ago.
| Won't be back for a couple of hours.
What car she go in? Dean Watkins' white pickup.
Why? You watch her.
Get out.
There's a bomb.
Hey, man, you about killed us.
- Get down.
| - Get down now.
Get down.
Get down, get down.
Bye.
Amen.
Walker, | you're never gonna catch Max.
He won't quit | until he kills everyone he hates.
You, me, and God knows who else.
Angela, Max thinks you're dead.
I'm gonna put you in a safe house | until we catch him.
What about Lori? We'll have her picked up | and brought to you.
- Okay? | - Okay.
Walker, I haven't prayed in years, | but I'll say one for you.
Be careful.
Walker.
All right, forensics just finished | tracking that dynamite Kale used in the bomb at Alex's house.
It was sold to a demolition firm | in Dallas, which recently report\ed | several cases stolen.
It's an inside job, man.
What makes you think so? I ran a check | on the demo firm's employees.
It seems one of them left some | key information off his job application, like he served hard time | with Max Kale.
Name's Gene Ardell and he works | for Clarkson Construction.
Okay, thanks, Trivette.
Gene Ardell, where is he? Over there.
Gene Ardell? Well, well, the law.
A hundred and ten pounds of dynamite | disappeared from this site.
- Do you know anything about it? | - Nope.
But I got a feeling | you're gonna pin it on me.
Well, your feeling's right.
- Where's Max Kale? | - Go to hell.
You're a two time loser, Ardell.
The dynamite you gave Kale | killed a Federal Judge, you're going down with him | unless you tell me where he is.
What part\ of the building is he in? Second floor, nort\heast corner.
Go on in.
I know Max will be glad to see you.
Yeah? If he's in there, you're dead.
Max ain't afraid of dying.
| He'll take you with him.
Go on, arrest him.
Be careful.
Walker, that you? Come on, Walker, talk to me.
Oh, well, if you're not gonna talk to me, | might as well say goodbye.
Jeez, I thought you bought it, man.
- Where's the book? | - What book? I found this book up there.
| It's in some kind of code.
Think you can decipher it? - Hi, sugar.
| - Dad? That's right, honey, it's me.
Come here, come here.
Come on.
I can't believe it's you.
| I've missed you so much.
I know, I know, I know, I know that, | and you know what? - We're gonna go on a little trip.
| - Where we going? To a land of milk and honey, and everyone there | treats you like royalty.
Oh, sounds like heaven to me.
It is, honey.
| That's where we're going.
Can Mom come along? No.
You see, Mom's been bad.
What do you mean? | Mom hasn't been bad.
I'm afraid she has.
We aren't gonna see her anymore.
Why? Where is she? Honey, your mom is dead.
What? Well, she turned against me | and she lied.
And you know what the Bible | said about that: "Thou shalt not bear false witness.
" | It was my duty, I had to punish her.
You killed my Mom.
I hate you.
- No, shut up, shut up.
Shut up.
| - Let go of me.
I said let go.
You're turning against me too.
| Quit your crying.
Come on, you're coming with me.
I got you, I got you.
| I cracked the code, you guys.
All right, he used | his notebook as a diary.
See, these are all the people | he wanted to kill.
Judge Hollister, Alex Cahill, | Dr.
Jane Pine, Angela Kale, and then it gets weird.
Why did he write the names | out like that? And who's Rodney? I don't know.
Do you have a first name or initials? - No, nothing.
Do you remember any? | - Doesn't ring a bell with me.
Now, who's Rodney Lane? Well, that's the street | the guy was raised on.
Sergeant Walker, | I went to pick up Lori Kale.
Found a man dead | and she's disappeared.
Trivette, pick up Angela.
Let's go.
Get everyone out.
There's a bomb in the neighborhood.
| Everyone out! We're evacuating the neighborhood.
| Move quickly, please.
Anybody here? Get out of the house.
| There's a bomb, hurry.
Come on.
Guys, move out.
There's a bomb.
Texas Rangers.
There's a bomb.
| Everyone out.
- There's a bomb? | - Hurry.
Let's go.
There's an emergency.
| Run to the end of the block.
Go.
What's going on? What are you looking at? I will punish the world for their evil and the wicked for their iniquity.
Open up.
Block's gonna blow, get out of here.
Come on.
Let's just go.
Come on, move.
And I will cause | the arrogance of the proud to cease.
And I will lay low | the haughtiness of the terrible.
Isaiah chapter verse .
Okay, don't worry, Lori.
| I'll get you out of here.
Come on, honey, let's go.
Please, don't hurt\ me.
You did exactly | what I wanted you to do, Walker.
I'm the one you're after, Kale.
| Let your daughter go.
She sinned.
She has to pay.
She's just a little girl.
| There's no reason to hurt\ her.
No, Walker, | we're all gonna die together.
No.
Run.
Run, Lori! - Walker.
| - Everyone all right? That's just too damn close, Cordell.
Thank God you're safe.
Ranger Walker.
- Are you all right? | - He killed my Mom.
Turn around, honey.
Mom.
Oh, Lori, honey, | thank God you're all right.
Where's Kale? He blew himself up.
That's poetic justice.
Yeah, look at me.
Oh, baby.
