Walker (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 13 - Defend the Ranch - full transcript

Walker's past comes back with a vengeance and it threatens the very thing he loves the most - his family.

Dad!

Hey!

Liam!

Liam.

Liam. Don't move, or I end you

just like I did him.

Liam!
Everybody, just stay

where you are. Mama!
Don't-don't... Just...

No one try
to be a hero, now.

Just do exactly what I tell you.

We'll get through this.



Hey.

Drop the holster. Trevor?

Don't do anything stupid, now.

You got a family to worry about.

There you go.

All right, let's all
go inside and have

a little chat.

Clint... let me take my brother.

Oh, your brother, huh? Yeah.

The attorney who
helped put us away?

Well, don't matter.

He's dead now.

Let me be clear.

No one else needs to get hurt
if you do exactly what I say.



Okay?

Let's go.

You can't leave
him here like this.

Mrs. Walker, your
son left me for dead.

He got my wife killed.

So any notions you might
have about right and wrong,

lose 'em.

Let's go.

What's the play here, bud?

There is no play.

All right.

No phones, no guns, no
weapons, no sudden moves.

Search the house.

They got guns. Trevor.

Said you've been working
on your rope skills.

How about you show me?

Come on.

All right, y'all be
smart, listen up,

and this will all
be over soon enough.

What do you want, Clint?

I want my wife back.

He didn't kill her.

I can see how it
can be confusing.

Your daddy,

a Texas Ranger,

killing a man's
wife, a boy's mother.

That's not what happened.

You got their minds
all twisted up

just like you did me,
Crystal, our family.

Well, you don't like
hearing that, do you?

Come on. Y'all had to wonder.

"Why's he been
gone for so long?"

Because he wanted to stay.

He was one of us.

You're here because

the guy you thought
was your bronco buddy

left you high and dry?

What the hell you
know about betrayal?

Why are you even here, stranger?

I'm the stranger who knows

you couldn't convince
two hired guns

to help you out in this

without promising a
whole lot of money.

Okay. You seem to
know all the angles.

How's that?

I've done my time.

Ex-con.

Do tell. What for?

Oh, robbery, mostly.

But I've been thinking
about murder lately.

Who's this?

Your muse? The real
outlaw that put

meat on the bones of that
Duke character of yours?

Oh, my Lord, we
got a whole family

of criminals and
cutthroats right here.

This is why I love a
little get-to-know-ya.

Okay, what do you want?

I've been patient for
months behind bars.

Appreciate if you
do the same for me.

Which brings me to our
first order of business.

Have Adriana or whatever
her real name is

bring Jaxon here.

Mm.

Hey. How was the drive
back with Stella?

She's, uh... she's
doing the best she can.

Hey, you still got Jaxon?

Uh, no. I dropped him
off at, uh, county lockup

early this morning. Why?

I was thinking maybe we could

get him to cough up where
Clint might have ran off to.

Yeah, we can still
question him behind bars.

Clint...

Clint is still out there.

Clock's ticking.

We are all on it.
In the meantime,

you just don't forget
about later, okay?

Later?

DPS Commission? You know,

the whole performance evaluation
that's been rescheduled

for months that puts your
entire career on the line?

Yeah.

Yeah, uh

4:00 p.m.

Of course, yeah,
right, 4:00 p.m.

I'll catch you up

on the Clint West manhunt after.

Until then, just

be with your family.

All right, yup. Uh, thanks.

See you, Micki.

I bought your little act there.

You folks buy that?

He's something, isn't he?

One thing: What's this about

a performance evaluation?

A hearing to review my
actions while on duty.

Hell, they should have
me down to testify.

A character witness.

Keep on talking, Clint.

The longer you stand on
your soap box, less chance

you got of getting away.

I can't get Jaxon
out, you hear me?

Besides, bringing
a fugitive here?

Raise a million red flags.

So, what is it you want?

Show me all the pretty horses.

Aren't they beauties?

Papa Walker doesn't mess around.

He pissed you didn't take
up the family business?

If he wasn't before,
he should be now.

Oh, man.

I've been away from
this for too long.

Short of cleaning stables.

Where I met lovely
Stella, by the way.

Don't know if she and
Trevor are gonna make it.

Yeah. I'd say it
wasn't meant to be.

Clint, if this is about

settling scores, you
killed my brother.

You think

that makes us square?

That's nothing compared
to what you've done.

Don't get any bright
ideas now. Wouldn't want

anything to happen to that
perfect little family of yours.

And I do appreciate
you showing me around.

Seeing everything
you have to lose.

Well, that's never a good sign.

Liam.

Liam?

Okay.

Dad?

I'm bleeding. All
right, I can see that.

I can see that. All right,
you're gonna be all right.

You're gonna be fine. I need
to get you out of here, though.

Okay? So, we're
gonna get you out.Oh.

We're gonna get
you out, all right?

Here we go.

Going down. Going
down. Lean back.

Oh, God. Lean back.

Keep pressure on it, all right?

Okay. Yeah. Keep pressure on it.

Okay, son, put that on there.
You hold it on there, okay? Mm.

Keep it nice and tight.

Dad, I'm so sorry.

It's all right. It's all right.

I want you to take one of
these, okay? It'll help.

Where did you...
where did you get it?

Doesn't matter.

Right. Ow.

Who's in there?

Clint. Clint West.

How many are with him?

I don't know. I just...

I-I tried to stop him.
And then... All right.

You keep pressure on
there, all right? Yeah.

Okay.

Dad, stop.

They said they'd kill everybody
in there if...

Mr. Walker, hey.

Yeah. Micki, listen, um,

I need your help
out at the ranch.

It's a little crazy
here right now.

All right if I check
with you later?

Yeah. MICKI: Yeah?

Yeah, we'll talk then.

Mom. Liam!

Oh, my God.

Grab that, will you?

Glad you weren't stupid
enough to call the cops.

Grab your boy and follow me.

Trevor.

Trevor.

Whatever your dad
told you is a lie.

Don't do this, please.

So you had nothing to do
with my mother's death?

Nothing at all?

What happened

to your mother wasn't so simple.

But this.

You know this is
wrong. You know that.

Guess who's coming to dinner.

We'll take care of
you. We'll fix you up.

You're just fine. I got
you, you'll be okay.

Liam! Uncle Liam.

Take him to one
of the back rooms.

You have to let us help him.

I got him. I got him. Hey, hey.

What are you doing?
Hey, quit it!

You go easy with my boy!

Dad! Dad, stop it.

Dad...

Sit down.

Please take a seat.

After you.

Where's that rope, Trevor?

What kind of man are you

to have your boy
be part of this?

Don't you talk to me
about being a father.

You know who you
raised? ABELINE: Stop!

Please stop.

Clint, don't.

Pointing a
gun at an old man?

Yeah, you're
a real tough guy.

Is it just Clint, or

you all the same
low-down...

Yeah. Okay. I get it.

Nope. Actually don't got it.
You're still a piece of...

Stop! Enough! Enough! Clint?

This is about you
and me, not them.

Tell me what you want. Tell me.

Just-just tell me.

Anything. I'll do it.

Anything? Yeah.

Anything. Just...

Just stop.

How about robbing a bank?

You want to rob a bank?

It's perfect, ain't it?

Everyone in the county's
looking for you.

And you just want to try

and pull off a robbery
in the middle of the day?

Oh, as much as I'd love
to relive our glory days,

I'm sitting this one out.

I'm gonna stay here and

get to know the family
a little bit better.

But you will need some help.

Giddyup.

Ah. Only seems right

that the bank robber who

inspired the imposter

helps him do the real thing now.

Okay, cut him loose, Trevor.

Ah. Oh, well, look at that.

Must've broke loose in the fall.

Looking sharp.

Much better.

Unless, of course, you
want to roll up there

as Duke for old time's sake?

If we're breaking the law

you mind if we do it in style?

Sure. Let's just make sure
there's nothing in there

to give you any bad ideas.

I appreciate it.

Hey, Captain.

You have a minute? Is it
a door-open or door-closed

kind of a

thing? Uh,

this is actually about Walker.

Usually is.

I got this weird
call from his father.

From Bonham? Yeah.

He wanted my help on
the ranch. It just...

I don't know. It
just-it just felt off.

Short.Huh.

Uh-oh.
Getting a call.

"Ranger HQ." Weird
nickname for a friend.

Clint, if I don't answer that...

Get into character then.

Remember, I know when
you're speaking code, Duke.

Cap, hey. What's the word?

Hey.

I'm just checking
in. I was, uh...

I was expecting you and Micki

to do a follow-up with Jaxon

on the manhunt. WALKER: Yeah.

Yeah, I just-just got caught
up with family, you know.

Been, uh... been through
a lot the past few days.

Uh, any leads on Clint West?

There was a sighting
in Brewster County.

Roped in border patrol.

Great. Uh, yeah,
hopefully we catch him

before he crosses the
order. JAMES: Right.

Hey, 4:00 p.m. hearing today.

I can rely on you

to be there, right, Cordell?

Yeah, of course. I'll-I'll...
I'll be there, Captain.

Okay.

I don't know.

I mean, he seemed a little off.

I think he was just worried
about the DPS hearing.

Yeah.

Mm, very convincing.

All righty, then.

Best of luck.

Luck's got nothing
to do with it.

That's right.

I'll keep an eye on
your family for you.

And he'll be keeping
an eye on you.

Guys, come on. We have to
help him. He's in pain.

Hey. Trevor, don't
just stand there

and pretend you can't hear him.

Trevor, look at me.

If we don't help my
uncle, he's gonna die.

No one was supposed to get hurt.

We're way past that, boy.

Just do what my father says.

When they get back, they bring
the money, it'll all be over.

Trevor,

what happened to your
mother... I am so sorry.

But if you don't want
this to get any worse,

then you will let
us help him. Please.

They behave?

Yeah. Uh, Dad,

can we talk?

Sure, son.

Look, their uncle, Liam...

You can't just let him die.

He had nothing to do with this.

He helped put me away.

Don't worry. This'll all
be over soon. I promise.

You promised Mom you
were getting out, too.

Coming home, ending all of this.

What would she want?

Okay.

Tell that girlfriend of
yours and her brother

to go check on him. Hey.

Remember whose side you're on.

Don't let them get in your head.

There's no room.

You're the only one there.

What do we got? We got

old cameras, lax security.

I'm sorry.Don't.

Hoyt, I messed up.

This is my fault.

I broke your trust.

If I hadn't... you wouldn't
even been at the ranch.

And now I got you mixed
up in all of this.

I'll kick your ass when
we get through this.

Listen, life put me here

at this exact moment.

Parked in an alley,
behind a bank

with my best friend
who needs me.

Maybe for the first time
in God knows how long.

Nah, brother. I've always
needed you. This is different.

You got to rob a bank.

And I'm not sure you noticed
what my line of work is,

but I'm an outlaw.

All right.

How we doing this?

Just follow my lead, buddy.

You all right?
You're fine, you're fine,

just-just don't look at
it. Okay, ready? Uh-huh.

Okay, three, two, one.

Oh.Put it on him. Put it on him.

Oh, my God. Okay.

He's fine.

Keep an eye on them.

So

Who's your favorite son?

You know,

we took in your own boy.

Treated him like family.

Oh, I know.

My wife and I did the
same for your boy.

He was broken when
he came to us.

We saved him, made
him whole again.

And then he betrayed us.

So, you took in my
son, trusted him.

Now here we are.

911. What's
your emergency?

Hello. Yes, I'd like
to report a robbery.

Texas Savings and
Loan, downtown Austin.

Please hurry. What the
hell are you doing?

Just making sure Walker goes
through the same nightmare

my wife and I went through.

You ready to put on a show
for our friend out front?

Guess we'll see.

Morning.

Uh, excuse me. I'm just hoping to
maybe check... Pardon me, ma'am.

It's gonna be fine, okay?

Stay calm. I'm gonna need you

to empty those
registers in the front,

tell your manager to
hand over the payroll bag

from the vault.

Chris... payroll bag, vault.

Right now. There you go.

Steady there, old timer.

Uh-uh, uh-uh.

Everybody stay
cool. Do me a favor.

Carefully take out
that boom stick,

kick it my way.

There we go. Yeah.

Ma'am, you may
proceed as directed.

All right, folks, why
don't we lie on the ground,

take a load off for a few?
That's right. You've earned it.

Ain't nothing wrong
with a little siesta.

: This one's loaded.

Yeah.

How you doing, pal?

Couldn't be better.
Chris, look at that.

That was Daytona 500
pit stop fast, Chris.

Thank you kindly.

Hey, we should give her
a day off after all this.

Okay, well, we sure do
appreciate the hospitality.

Me and my hostage must
be on our way now.

Y'all take care. You mind
showing us the back door out?

Our shadow high-tailed
it but we got to move!

Well, it's a good thing your
best friend also happens

to be a wheelman.

Okay, they're gonna cross
over at Forest Ridge.

Should be clear soon.

You lecture me about
the straight and narrow,

and now look at us.

You sure
you don't want to

tell your buddies what
this is all about?

No, we can't. Hoyt,

Clint is not messing
around, trust me.

Well, I guess you're
gonna miss that hearing.

I'll write you a note.

Well, well, look at this.

Team Sassy Boots together again.

If you're here to tell
me I missed my 4:00, uh,

got to tell you, that...
that's aggressively thorough.

Micki. Micki.

What are you doing?

What, is this for him?

Oh, you don't have to say
it like that. Oh, shut up!

All this time, and you
can't be straight with me?

Because if not,

there's about five things I
can call in right now, Walker.

Clint West has my family.

Right now, at the ranch.

And if you don't let us
follow through with this,

he's going to kill them.

Then let me help you.
Let me go with you.

Clint put a tail on us.

We lost him for a minute, but

if they wise up, that'll
kill them faster.

Micki,

I can't risk putting my
family's lives in danger.

Walker, you missed your hearing,

and you have a bag
of cash in your car.

What the hell am
I supposed to say?

Say what you have to.

Tell the truth.

But, please, let me
go home and fix this.

Please.

Okay.

Just know I'm not far, okay?

And I'll be listening.

Thank you, Flor.

Damn it, Beau.

Is that...

Wyatt Earp.

You just a fan, or...

Walkers. Used to ride with him.

Well, hot damn.

Ain't that fancy.

It's just a fact.
That's interesting.

It truly is.

You know, of course,

Wyatt Earp was a criminal

before he was a lawman,
not unlike your Cordell.

What a beautiful
damn coincidence.

Oh.

What a find.

These recreational,
Bonham Walker?

You don't seem the type.

Pain pills?

Ain't got a limp that I can see.

Rotten tooth?

No, you'd grin and bear that.

This is something different.

Something you don't
discuss, cowboy.

Cancer?

Oh, and you didn't
tell the wife.

Man.

When I had a wife,

I told her everything.

You remember when

our biggest worry was
that scar on your head?

I'll never tell.

I'm so glad I stayed.

Augie, I know that it's hard,

but you... you got
to stay strong.

Uncle Liam, look, I-I
know that you're in pain.

We'll-we'll... Hey, hey.

They're gonna need you, okay?

Hey.

I see you.

Uncle Liam,

please stop saying goodbye.

He needs a doctor.

Trevor, come on.

I thought we were friends, man.

I mean, seriously, are
you even human anymore?

Just, please, help him. I want
to, but-but you can't leave.

Trevor, when we
went to the cabin,

did you ever really
want to get away

or did you want us to end up
right back here, like them?

I wanted to get away.

For us to get away.

Then remember that person.

Just-just let us
make a phone call.

Coach Barnett... he was a
medic, and we-we can trust him.

My-my dad has your phones.

It's fine, Stella.

Here.

Take it.

Hello?

You can't call the cops.

Stella? Okay.

Seriously, you can't.

Uncle Liam got shot.

Where?

His chest. The-the
side of his chest?

I... Okay, okay, okay.
How's his breathing?

Not great. Um...

Uneven. Wait,
Stella. Who shot him?

If I tell you, they'll kill us.

Can you give me a
visual on the wound?

I can walk you
through what to do.

All right, that's
perfect, Stella.

He's losing a lot of blood.

But the bullet hole's not
in the box. Now that's good.

Uh, look at his trachea,
his-his windpipe.

Come on, Stella. I know
you've seen this on TV.

Yeah, yeah, okay.

Yup, to the right.

Now you're gonna want to find

something to
cauterize the wound.

Um, Gramps has a branding
iron, but it's in the, um

the barn. TREY: That
works. That's perfect.

Just make sure that thing
is hot as hell, all right?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa. So, so, we're gonna

we're gonna operate on him?

Stella, don't think. Act.

Now.

Or your uncle's gonna die.

Okay, so...

You got to cut down to
the bullet hole. No, no, no, no.

Cutting into him makes no sense.

Stella, we need to
relieve the pressure.

Trust me.

This is why you called me.

I've got Gramp's Leatherman.

Great. Hey, you got his, uh...
you got his moonshine, too?

Um, yup, yup, yup.

All right, we're definitely

gonna talk about that one later.

All right, now,

sterilize the
wound and the blade

with the alcohol.

Okay. TREY: That's it.

I'm sorry.

Aah!

Then make an incision

with the blade to pop
into the chest cavity.

Yup. Yup, that's it.

That's it.
No, no, no, no, no.

That's okay. Oh, that's
okay. That's okay.

Just put pressure on it
and then sterilize it.

Oh, God.

You got that iron?

Hey, you've earned yourself

a new tattoo.

Here.

Use it while it's
hot. Thank you.

Do it.

What the hell's
going on in here?

Dad, I'm-I'm sorry.
What did I tell you?

He was dying.

That was the point.

Ooh. Daddy's home.

Deal's a deal, Clint.

It's time to end this.

Is it, now, Cordell?

Yes, it is. I don't think so.

Family went rogue.

Couldn't leave
well enough alone.

That's
enough, all right?

That's enough!

I say when.

Y'all take a hell

of a lot for granted, don't you?

You think it's enough?

I haven't gotten
what I came for.

Dad, they got the money.

There's no cops. Why
can't we just skip town?

We didn't come for the money.

Then what did we come here for?

I never lied to you, son.

I told you they
needed to suffer.

Come here. Come on.

Look. Look that man in the eye.

That right there is
why your mother's dead.

You knew cops would be
waiting for us at the bank.

You let us walk right
into the lion's den!

Where's Stella?

I got her.

Stella.

I think I got him.

Hey.

Hoyt. Hoyt!

Oh...

Hey.

Hey, no, no, no,
no, no! Hey, hey.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa. Hoyt.

I'm good. Uncle Hoyt!

Hey, Hoyt. Okay.
Hold-hold on. It's okay.

Just put pressure on it.Steady.

Oh, man. Shh, shh, shh.

That's not good.

Hey, hey,
hey. Shh, shh, shh.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Shh. Hoyt.

Hoyt.

I love y'all. No, no,

don't you dare.

Don't do it.

I always knew it'd
end this way, buddy.

Hmm.

Hoyt?

No.

Hoyt?

Oh, God.

Ooh. Oh, my God.

Needed to take one
from you myself.

Now you know how it feels.

Yeah.

Yeah, right, now I know.

And now I understand.

I understand revenge.

Trevor!

This is Ramirez.

Calling for backup
at the Walker Ranch.

Go on, shoot him!

Why didn't you come home?

What?

Son, I told you. He talked me

out of it. He told us
to stay the course.

He's not lying to you.

Trevor, I did, for my job.

For my job, I did. You see that?

He's manning up.
This is not about

manning up.

This is about humanity.

Who do you want to be,
Trevor? In this moment?

You want to be who
he expects you to be?

You shut up. Or
you want to be me?

'Cause if it were
me right now, I...

I'd pull that trigger.

Hell, yes, I would.

But you're not me.

And you're not your dad.

Put down the gun.

Trevor.

Trevor, let me tell you
something about your mom.

I met her.

On her way to see you.

I pulled her over 'cause
she was speeding so fast,

just to get to you.

But think, think. Who
do we really think

is responsible for her death?

The man who tried
to stop the crime?

Or the man who had killed
before and wouldn't stop...

You're gonna trust her?
Why didn't you stop?

Come on. MICKI: Trevor, this

this all ends if you
just put down your gun.

Put it down slowly, slowly.

Liam, hey, hey, hey, hey.

I got you. I got you.

Hey...

You did the right thing.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

It's over, all right? It's over.

Hey.

Hey.

Want to sit down?

Yeah. Yeah.

Look, I am so sorry about Hoyt.

Yeah.

How's Liam holding up?

You know, what Trey
did... That was...

Yeah, what Trey
did saved his life.

And with the kids...

Yeah, we're all just, uh...

Yeah.Yeah.

Hey, um, what's the word
from the DPS Commission?

They said that after
recent events...

Uh, okay, just... Yeah.

Let me guess. Uh...

Two weeks probation?

Yeah.

That's not right.

That's not right.

You know that.

James, my past

caught up with me.

And I got my best friend killed.

I... almost

got my brother killed.

I put my kids' lives at
risk, my-my parents, my...

And for what?

You were right. You were right.

We have to do better. I-I...

I have to do better.

And, uh, and right now.

I can't do this.
