"Handshakers" by The Coasts
playing...

- ♪ Everybody thinks...
- [clears throat]

That hit the spot. Oh, my God.

Listen,
we're definitely gonna need

to start our ranch boot camp
back up. ASAP.

Agreed. That was...
that was dense.Man.

Oh, come on,
Green Juice. Calm down.

You have all day

to work that off
now that you're unemployed.

TREY: Oh, yeah. When are we gonna
start seeing the billboards

- for Liam Walker, Esquire?
- Yeah.



If I do private practice,
I'm gonna need new clientele.

Hey, are you gonna
get that new place

- now that your lease is up?
- Yes.

A lot of memories
tied to that one, so...

Hey, why don't you two
move in together?

Seriously.
Think about it. You know,

a change of scenery,
do you both good.

You split the rent.
Then you guys

- wouldn't have to be so alone.
- LIAM: Well,

I think that we are comfortable
in our alone-ness.

What about you, Cordell?
A-Are you comfortable?

Oh, I'm not alone.
I-I live in a crowded house

- with teenagers.
- I'm never alone.

Alone is different than
being lonely, Cordi.



I'm just saying, we're
not the ones texting

every second of our downtime.

TREY:
Right. Or driving across town

just 'cause you don't
like eating by yourself.

All right.
Fair. Yes, sure,

working alone
h-has been different.

You know? No one

to cover your blind spots.

N-No one to share with.

It's-it's quiet.

- Lonely?
- Lonely? Ah. Jinx.

All right. Well,
since I have to go to work,

I'm-a head out.

Uh, sorry to ruin your date,
but it's on the house.

See you later.

That man really needs to get...

a partner. I know.

[sighs]

[truck door closes,
engine starts]

So, you nervous
about your brother?

Or is there something else
going on?

Man, you're sharp.

I was looking at,
uh, land surveys

on our property.
Is this about the Davidsons?

Listen,
between three generations

of Walkers, you...
you tend to overhear a lot.

Yeah. Well,
the records that I need are

at the county assessor's office.
And let me guess. You don't want

to bump into any
former coworkers at the courts.

- You're getting sharper by the minute.
- Well,

I'm free today,
so what do you need?

You know, maybe my brother's
not the only one

who needs a partner.

[grunts softly]

You waiting for an invite?

Huh?

No, I just, uh...
Something in my shoe.

I'm guessing you want to know
how the new Ranger search is going.

Yeah, sure.

It's gonna take
some time, man.

Trooper Jackson's
a solid candidate. Fleming.

Uh, Officer Carver. Monroe.

It's about a dozen good ones.
I just got to be careful.

Uh, careful that they
share your same approach

to law enforcement.
I get that.

Well, and someone who's...
you know.

Someone
who's a good match for you.

Yeah, of course.

In the meantime...

Right. While I'm looking
for a real Ranger,

I need you to find a fake one.

Sorry? Got multiple reports
from APD

in the last 24 hours

about somebody posing
as Texas Ranger Miles Vyas.

Miles Vyas?

The Ranger in Dallas
reported missing

about six months
ago, presumed dead?

So, there's no ID
from the footage,

but this is
definitely his MO.

He flashes a badge,
claims civil forfeiture

and then jacks people's cars

in the name
of some made-up investigation.

Oh, it looks like a-a Bentley.

All right.

Well, we got to find him

before he does
something worse.

Yougot to find him.

You're flying solo on this one.

Okay. All right. Well, I'll-I'll
shake down the local chop shops.

Might, uh, might get a lead

on a buyer in the market
for high-end stolen cars.

There you go. Maybe you
don't need a partner after all.

Well, I...

I'm joking.

Hmm.

I'm looking. Well,

if anyone can find me

the right new partner,
it's my old partner.

I got you, buddy.

I know you do.
[clears throat]

Bye.Yep.

All right. What are
the plans later?

Yeah, anyone hear
about any parties? STELLA: Oh,

I heard Robin's throwing one.

Straightjackets
is playing the Majestic. COLTON: Oh,

I didn't even know they
were touring. [Chuckles]FAYE: And...

they're sold out.

Well, uh, I can
probably get us tickets.

What are you? Are you,
like, the opening act

or something?

Need you to write
more songs first.

But, no, my uncle,

he's a silent investor.

He can get us in.

- What do you think?
- COLTON: Uh,

fifth wheel?
Yeah, no, I'll-I'll pass.

Colton, come on.

Straightjackets is

one of your favorite bands.

Yeah, you know me so well.

All right, fine.

Now, where do you
guys want to meet?

[chuckles]:
Oh, thanks.

[indistinct chatter]

Oh.

Hey, Charlie, Bonham's
a little short-staffed

at the ranch,
so if any of your boys

need work, send them our way.

You got it, Abby. All right. Thank you.

Oh!

Oh! My. Oh. [Chuckles][chuckles] Gale.

Well, lucky for us, no one
was holding a cauldron of chili.

[chuckles] That's-that's funny.
Haven't seen you since. Yeah.

This is the best market
in town, isn't it? Oh, yeah.

Um, I was hoping the
spice selection would be

a little more varied.
I need it for the Barn Burner.

At The Side Step? Yeah.

Colton stopped by.
He said the chili was lacking.

Got to, you know, maintain
the family recipe.

[chuckles]
Right.Yeah.

You know, uh,
Colton has been by the house,

and he and August

were working on their music.Yeah.

He's such a sweet kid.Aw.

Thank you. Thank you. And talented.
You know, I taught them

that song
that Marv used to sing.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have said that. You know,

you always overstepped.

You always thought
you were better than me.

Than us.
Talking about my dead husband.

Acting like your family had
nothing to do with it. I hope...

It's... it's fine.

I'm sorry. I appreciate you welcoming

Colton into your home. I do.

Anyway, good seeing you
again, Abby.

WALKER:
This is Ranger Walker.

Running down a lead

on where our suspect
might unload the stolen vehicle.

Uh, let me know
if Highway Patrol

gets a hit on those plates.

MAN:
10-4, Ranger Walker.

I have visual.

Loop in local PD in the area.
Send them my way.

Roger that. 10-4.

[♪]

[engine running]

[engine turns off]

CASSIE: Stop!

Don't turn. Just listen.

Put the gun down.

And the phone.

There we go.

Doing great. It's a nice car.

You the buyer?

No, I'm not. Stop talking.

Do what I say

and pop the trunk. Listen,

you're making a big mistake.
I'm a Texas Ranger.

Or maybe you're not a Ranger.

Because you just stepped

out of a stolen car,

and that is not a good look
for you. I see how this looks,

but I can explain, okay?

My truck
is right around the corner.

Down the dark alley over there?

Can't wait to go see.

Right after you do what I say
and pop the trunk.

All right.

Now, you listen to me.
I'm gonna say this once.

You are making a mis...

[electricity zapping][grunting]

Get in there.

I have some questions for you.

[♪]

*WALKER*
Season 02 Episode 10

Episode Title: "Nudge"
Aired on: March 03, 2022.

Are you boosting wheels

for the jackers
from Panhandle Plains?

What are you talking about?

Where'd you get the uniform, huh? You
take it off him? You need to listen to me!

Hey, backseat driver,

I'll listen when you
start giving me answers.

Are you part of the grand theft
auto ring in Lubbock?

I don't know
who the hell you're after,

but I promise it ain't me!

Suspension's a bit stiff on a
car this fancy, don't you think?

But if you keep
dodging my questions,

I promise it gets worse.

There is a Texas Ranger
in your trunk!

Do you have any idea
what's gonna happen to you?

You're an imposter
who kidnapped my partner.

Stop with the games
and start giving me answers! Who are you?

[tires squealing]

[horns honk]

Okay, unhinged psychopath.
Got it.

My name is Cordell Walker.

I'm not impersonating anybody.

I ama Ranger.

The Ranger who held
Stan Morrison captive.

The one other Ranger

who's always in the
news. Do better!

[tires screeching]What?

[grunts]

You pulled the e-brake?

Who's the unhinged
psychopath now?

I needed to get your attention
so you'll listen to me.

Sounds like you know
a little bit

about law enforcement.

Enough to know chain of command

is undisclosed, am I right?

What's your point? My point is,

my division captain
is Larry James,

who you need to call

right now
before this gets any worse.

[exhales]

Uh, this is, uh, Ranger Perez.

Ranger Perez. Currently
on a leave of absence

from
the Dallas Rangers Division.

I'm calling for Captain James,
please.

JAMES:
You got him.

I am calling
in regards to a Ranger

under your command,
a Cordell Walker.

Yes. May I ask what case
he is currently assigned?

JAMES:
He's working a 37.11. Why?

And is he the type
who would

blindly pull a car's e-brake

from inside the trunk,
knowing

it would send it
into an uncontrolled skid?

JAMES: Yep. That sounds
like Ranger Walker.

You don't say.
I appreciate your time, sir.

"Appreciate your time."

Well, I think I made
a little mistake, Ranger Walker.

Agreed, Ranger Perez.

Call me Cassie.

Hey, uh, excuse me.

Can I get the assessment records

- for 2105 Broken Trace Road?
- CLERK: Yeah.

That your property?

Uh, no.

Uh, not exactly.

Contractor, huh? I can
always spot a contractor.

Y'all always got

those big biceps.[laughs]

What's the address again, sugar? Uh,

yeah. Right here.

Appreciate that.

It feels
like I've turned a new leaf.

You know, my whole outlook is...
It's more positive.

Which, you know, it wasn't...

Oh. Hey, Gale.

I'm so sorry,
we're not open yet.

Oh, don't mind me.
Just, uh, chili spices.

Yeah. Okay. I'll meet you
in the kitchen in a sec.

I mean,

I still...
I still think about Hoyt.

Of course I do.

You know, I think
about how he died.

But I'm not responsible.
And I'm not gonna let

my past define my future.

I can't anymore.
It's time to move on.

I'm gonna take
a little break.

You know, if you shared your
secret family recipe with me,

you wouldn't have to shop
for chili spices every week.

Well, wouldn't be much

of a secret family recipe then,
would it?

[chuckles]Uh, my system is down.

Is it okay if I pay cash?

My husband
always used to pay cash.

You know, I couldn't help

but, uh, overhear
what you said in there.

I'm sorry.

Oh. Don't apologize.

No, I just... I'm sorry
for what you've been through.

I know a thing or two

about loss.

I heard about your husband.

Yeah, well, I lost a hell
of a lot more than just Marv.

Sounds like you found
more peace in a year

than I have in 20.

Well, you're more than welcome
to join us if you ever want.

Maybe another time.

Thank you. Thank you.

Oh.

I, uh...

I took a hard look at my past.

That's how I found peace.

That's good advice.

WALKER:
You know,

you could've saved us both
some trouble

if you led with,
"Hi there. I'm Ranger Perez.

And you are?"Well, technically,
I'm on a leave of absence.

A leave of absence, yeah?
Well, you're using

your time off really well.
Tasing a Ranger

and shoving him into a trunk? Oh!

Please, I nudged you.

You... [groans]And I tased you because

you're dressed like our
perp. I'm not dressed

like our perp.
Our perp is dressed like me.

And he's not "our" perp.[siren wailing]

He's myperp. Mine.
You don't wear a badge.

You were dressed like a Ranger
lurking by a car

that was stolen by someone
impersonating a Ranger.

Anyone would have come
to the same conclusion I did. It ever

occur to you that
your little stunt back there

probably scared away
our suspect?

You said "our suspect."

I said...[car door opens]

You are unbelievable.

On the ground now.
Hands where I can see them.

Thank you, Officer.
I-I got this.

I'm talking to you, too, buddy.
I've located the stolen vehicle

I'm a Texas Ranger.

Cordell Walker.

This guy thinks he's the Ranger
who's always in the news.

CASSIE:
Told you anyone would have come

to the same conclusion.

Yep. Sure. Uh, let's just, uh...

Let's get this over with.

I have serious doubts
her Taser is even legal.

I think she jailbroke it
to add extra juice

to take out
a guy like me.

[James laughs]

I'm s... She apologized

for the tasing several times.

Mm-hmm. Okay, what about...

what about the-the hitting
the potholes thing?

She didn't apologize for that.
Okay, I don't control potholes.

JAMES: Okay, enough. Okay,
listen, mistakes were made.

She said sorry.

Frankly, anybody in her shoes

would've reached
the same conclusion.

Okay. Cassandra Perez.

You were the youngest cadet

at DPS academy,
graduated top of your class.

First female Ranger
in Dallas

- under Captain Cole.
- CASSIE: Yeah.

He only hired me after
you changed the landscape

after you hired Ranger Ramirez.

JAMES:
Hmm.

But Cole
never really had my back.

So, is that why you took

an indefinite leave of absence
after only

four months on the job?

How is any of this relevant?

Walker...

I, uh, I took a leave

after my partner was abducted
in the line of duty

and my captain designated
Miles "presumed dead."

Okay, I can understand
needing some time off

after losing a partner,
but you've been on leave

for almost
six months now.

Why not return to the force?

Because Miles is still alive.

I don't have the evidence...
I know that... but...

too much just doesn't add up.

There's more to the story.

Is there any chance you'd want
to help us out on this case?

What? Cap-Captain,
she's not even a Ranger...

I-I don't need help.
I don't need herhelp.

JAMES: Walker, she's got insight
that we don't.

She's motivated; This guy
is impersonating her partner

and he's still out there.

So I'm asking you to catch him
together, all right?

Captain, I understand
why he needs my help.

That much is clear. Oh, is it clear?

Is it?

Because you,
you've been lone-wolfing it

for, what, six months,

and the closest you've come
to finding Ranger Vyas

is today's screwup?

You're right.
But this case is personal.

So even if it's only temporary,
I can't work with someone

who doesn't bring something
to the table themselves.

WALKER:
I'm a Texas Ranger.

That's what I bring
to the table.

[chuckles]:
Okay, tough guy, but what else?

What makes you a good
partner on this?

I don't need to explain
myself to you.

I don't work with people
I can't trust.

It was a pleasure
meeting you, Captain.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Dude, I can't believe
Todd left us high and dry.

No, we're never
getting in.

Todd's not answering.
I'm worried.

No, don't be.

He probably just
wanted the credit

for getting us tickets and had
no way to actually deliver.

No, that's not Todd.
He wouldn't just...

Stella, yes, he would.

Same way he hogs credit
for our band.

You know that song
at The Side Step?

No, he-he didn't...

Okay, he-he didn't even

get the lyrics
when he read 'em.

AUGUST:
Hey, yo, I-I-I, uh,

I think I just saw
the Straightjackets'

keyboard player over there.
Want to go check it out?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Let's do it.

[rock music playing in distance]

I didn't actually see
Kevin VanSchlinker.

I just, um...

I feel like you were
gonna tell my sister

that that song was about her.

Oh, no, I-I wasn't...

She's still not over
Trevor Strand, all right?

Todd's the first guy
after him.

And-and I like Todd,
it's just...

he's kind of a fling.

So she'll be
sick of him

in, like, a week. Okay,

thank-thanks
for the heads-up? Yeah.

Yeah, you know,
I'd hate for you to be

the guy my sister doesn't
want around, all right?

Because starting this band's
been fun.

And so is hanging out, so, uh...

Just let the Todd fling
run its course, yeah.

I'm gonna go check on Todd.
Yeah, I-I'm... I'll drive you.

Thanks.

I'll make sure the techs, uh,
check it for fingerprints

and do a sweep.

I always wanted a car like that.
Kelly said it was impractical.

Not enough trunk space.

Based on your research,

what do you think? Very funny.

Well, off to Paititi
it goes, huh?

Yeah, by the way,
what is that?

The warehouse where DPS keeps
all their asset forfeitures.

Yes, I-I know that,
but, uh, "Paititi."

Wh-What is that, that word?
Where does it come from?

Lost city of gold. Paititi.

Paititi? Paititi.

I don't know.
Huh.

- I bet Cassie would know that one.
- [scoffs]

Look, she's not gonna stop
looking for her partner.

You guys are gonna be
on the same path anyway.

Wait, h-hold up, Cap.

You're trying to Parent Trapme.

That's a clear violation
of rule number 42.

Need I remind you,
we made those rules

because we used to fight
all the time

in the beginning.

But we also pushed
each other in the direction

that we needed to be
pushed. I'm just saying,

I don't think she has
what it takes.

Well, she's got
what it takes to locate

a stolen vehicle
without department resources.

She's also got
what it takes

to force a moose like you

into the trunk of a car.

Unarmed, mind you.

Uh, she had a Taser.
Please.

She tased me. She...

Okay, all right, all right.

All right, here you go.

Even if I-I agreed
to the partnership...

Which is a big "if"...

She didn't show
any indication whatsoever

that she wanted
to partner with me.

What about all those questions
she was asking you?

You don't think
she was trying to get an idea

of what it might be like
to work with you?

Look, if you think
there's a chance...

Because I do...
You got to meet her halfway.

You can't just wait for her
to come knocking on your door,

asking to work with you.

[knocking on door]

- Can I help you?
- CASSIE: Good day, ma'am.

I'm here about
the ranch hand position.

Oh.

CASSIE: Wow, that's one hell
of a spread.

Well, I'm sorry I couldn't give
you the full tour, but, um,

you came in
kind of late, so... Oh.

Liam.Yeah.

I didn't realize
you were home.

Yeah, Mama, I thought I'd cook

dinner for you
since Dad's out of town.

Sorry, I'm-I'm
being rude.

And I know who you are.

I voted for you for D.A.

It's a shame
you didn't win.

That new D.A.?

Uh, well, I have some pots
on the stove right now,

but it was very
nice to meet you.

And I hope to see you around.

Likewise.

Hey, you have another son.

Didn't I hear that? Cordell.

Huh.
Yes.

He's a Texas Ranger.

CASSIE:
A Ranger?

He never considered ranching?

Well, not for very long.
He took a leave from the Rangers

once to focus on family,
this place, but...

What did his partner think
when he left?

His partner?

Well, um, she was
pretty much family

at that point.

She understood.

She had Cordell's back,
he had hers.

And I think it's what
gave her the strength

to put down the
badge herself.

But she will always have
a place at our table.

Are there any
other questions?

Uh, I'm sorry.
Am I being too nosy?

For a ranch hand?
Well, I'd say so.

But you are no ranch hand.

You don't know the difference
between a muck fork

and a pitchfork,

and the only thing you seem
really interested in is Cordell,

who's itching for a new partner.

May I hazard a guess?

Ranger candidate?

Well, I see where your son gets
his perceptive qualities.

[laughs softly]

I mean... the woman
has a screw loose.

I have serious doubts
she'd have the wherewithal

to muck a stable,
let alone be-be my partner.

GERI: Well, you're not gonna want
to hear this, Walker.

"Walker"?

What, I'm not gonna want
to hear what, Broussard?

Okay. Uh, I'm surprised
that you don't relate.

It sounds like
she only did what she did

because she thought
that you were responsible

for her partner's
disappearance.

I mean, isn't that the same
thing that you did to Stan

when you found out that
he was responsible for Emily?

No, I-I didn't...
I didn't put him in the trunk.

No, you didn't put him
in the trunk, but you did

hold him at gunpoint
in the passenger seat.

Look, I am on your side.

[♪]

But just because
your last partnership

didn't work out doesn't mean

that this one is gonna end
the same way.

Okay? Give her a chance.

Come on.

How do you always know
what to say?

'Cause I'm great.

[scoffs]

Wait here. I'll be right back.

Okay.

Stel?

Oh, c-crap.

I-I lost track of time.

And you can't even
pick up your phone?

I left it at Mike's.
I'm so sorry.

Do you want to come in?

My little brother's got

a big test.

My mom had to work late,

and there's no one here
to help him study.

If he doesn't pass,
then he'll be held back.

I can't let him end up being
a failed fifth-year like me.

What if I helped?

Like, at The Side Step,

how we came up with
those mnemonic devices.

Oh, I don't want
to ruin your night.

You're not. It's the opposite.

I want to be with you.

So, Todd pulled through,
big-time.

Oh, these tickets are sick.

[laughs]Let me know how it is.

Wait, what?
You're-you're staying?

He needs my help.
It's-it's kind of serious.

I'll see you
tomorrow, okay?

Yeah, sure. Okay. Yeah.

All right, see you around.

You have selective memory,
'cause the way I remember it...

No, I don't. I... I know
exactly what happened.

No, you were in the flatbed
of the truck... Are you kidding me?

...with the guy who
was...You sat on his EpiPen.

You do remember!
He was, like,

writing haikus
about coffee or something?

LIAM:
Hey, Geri, Cordi.

Hi.
Hey. Hey, you don't check your texts?

I...

[stammers]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Look at this. Already a place
setting for the guest of honor.

- How'd you know?
- GERI: Oh, look at that. Hey, did you hear about

your brother's electric
day at the office?

Okay, uh...
[clears throat]

As a matter of fact, I did.

H-How did you hear?
Did-did James tell you?

I did.

Cassie.
GERI: Oh...

You must be Geri.Yes. Yes, hi.

Abby was just telling me

all about you.

Cassie, hey, you, uh,

you mind if we,

if we, if we talked?

Just-just the two of us.

Alone, that way?

Okay.Okay.

So nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

"Nice to meet you." [softly]:
Give her a chance. Go.

Hmm.

What are you doing here?

Well, I heard you
needed a ranch hand.

Seriously? R-Ranch hand? Y-You
told my mom you're a ranch hand

t-to what, to Trojan Horse
your way inside my home?

Well, you said I was
a bad Ranger.

I didn't say you...

Wait a second.
[laughs softly]

Are you here
because you actually do

want to be my partner?

[scoffs]
No.

[phone vibrating]Why?

Do you want to be mine?[scoffs]

It's DPS.

Techs found the tracking beacon
inside the stolen Bentley.

But why would the perp
put a tracker

inside a car he'd stolen?

You know, it never
sat right with me

that he left the car out
in the open like that,

engine running, keys inside.

Yeah, it's almost like he wanted
us to find it and repossess it.

Trojan Horse.

Do you think

our perp might have stolen
the car just to...

Just to put the beacon inside.

So he could follow
it to the asset

forfeiture warehouse.
Asset forfeiture warehouse.

Paititi.

Like, the lost city of gold?

Yeah. Wow, apt analogy.
I didn't think you knew...

Okay, d-don't be surprised,
all right? I-I'm well-read.

Well, our perp is probably
already on his way there, so...

Yeah, we should go. Um...

Hey, uh, did you want
to ride shotgun

or are you partial to the trunk?

Will you come back?
I mean, like another night?

To help with finals or just
to watch WrestleMania?

Yeah, that'd be fun.

Hey, you've got this test.

You know the material.

How about this?

You ace your test,
we go to WrestleMania.

Geez, look at this stuff.

RVs, nice cars, motorcycles.

all this and reselling it.

Uh, safe to say, our imposter

SUSPECT:
The newspapers!

he was dead. I-I...

I just saw an opportunity.

Don't. Don't do something
you're gonna regret, Cass.

Cassie!

WALKER:
You know, um,

it may have helped
our cause a little bit

if you could carry
a sidearm again.

I-I don't carry.

Wh-What do you mean,
you don't, you don't carry?

Six months ago, with Miles,

on our last case,
we got separated.

I was...

jumped.

And they took my weapon.

Later that night,
they found

two bullet casings
where Miles was last seen.

No blood trail,

but the thought that he might
have died at the hand of...

Yeah. Yeah, it haunts me.

I imagine.

Hence, uh, the Taser.

[chuckles]

I'm not crazy. I know.

No... y-you are

crazy enough

[chuckles]:
To hold your own.[laughs]

Hey.

I know what that's like.

Chasing ghosts.

I also know

that it's best
to not do that alone.

[exhales]

[knocks on door]

Hey.
Hey.

Thanks for
coming down.

You can come on in.

Look, I know you weren't
officially part of the arrest,

but, um, it's safe to say
you helped out,

a lot more than you know.

So, who was this guy?

[sighs]
His name's Matt Daniels.

He's just a, a drifter
passing through Dallas

right around the same
time Miles disappeared.

But his confession
measures up.

There's no ties to the grand
theft auto crew. I'm sorry.

Yeah. It is what it is.

[laughs]
So why do you look like a dude

who's about to tell me
something else?

[chuckles]

Well...

Well, lookee there.
That for me?

[chuckles]It's up to you.

We both know you're not
gonna stop looking for Miles.

I can't.

I know. So, let us help you.

[exhales]

If you choose to wear
the badge again,

you'll be under
my command.

I know that we
basically just met,

but your intuition, the way
you color outside the lines...

I didn't know what
I was looking for

in a new Ranger
until I saw it in you.

You remind me...
[laughs]

You remind me of my old partner.

That a compliment?

Listen, he's the best Ranger
that I got.

And I see that potential in you.

I do. If you have
the right partner.

I can't make any promises,

other than I will have
your back, and so will he,

all the way.

So, how long did you know
we were right for...? The Taser.

It was the Taser.

[footsteps approaching]

WALKER:
Hey. Cassie.

How'd it go in there?

[chuckles]

You know, I think

mine's shinier than yours.

- Worn and weathered means experience.
- Ah.

That what we are?
Like Yoda and Luke?

Uh, I was thinking more,
you know, Crockett and Tubbs.

Or, uh, Hawks Shadow?

The... Hawks Shadow?
Wh-What's Hawks Shadow?

TV show? Early '90s?

A martial arts master and some
guy dressed in a hawk costume?

Yeah, come on. Hawks Shadow.

Caw! Oh... Don't-don't...
do that. Hawk...

That-that show
never existed.

Oh, yeah, I can't believe
we're partners.

We'll figure out
our partner name as we go.

Along with everything else.

Mm. Sounds good. Sounds good.

All right.

See you tomorrow, partner.[chuckles]

Hey, uh, last
time I saw Miles,

we got into an argument
over something stupid.

Yeah, you talk to
people all the time,

but you really never know
when it'll be the last time.

Y-You never know if you're gonna
get the chance to tell them

what they really mean to you.

So, did you want
to tell me something?

No, you and Geri, dummy.

I saw you together
last night.

Don't act like you
weren't about to send her

some adorable little
text just now.

Okay. I-It's...
[clears throat]

MAN:
Afternoon, Rangers.

MAN 2:
Afternoon.

It's complicated.

And waiting
will do what exactly?

It's always
complicated.

It shouldn't make sense.

But if there's
something there...

deep end. Jump.

Deep end.

Cass, I don't know
what you wanted to tell Miles,

that night, but...

you can tell me anything.

Anytime, always.

Yeah, brutal honesty,
no secrets.

Deal.

You know, we'll call that
rule number 43.

Hmm.

Wait, what are the other 42?

[both chuckle]

[truck door closes,
engine starts]

[knocking on door]

Gale.

I-Is everything all right?

No.

Do you want to come in?

Abby, it takes a lot
for me to come here.

Well, it takes a lot for me to
invite you in, but here we are.

I've been thinking a lot
about the past.

About Marv.

It's a topic we have avoided
for way too long.

If this is about
the other day...

Look, there's still
a lot I don't know

about that night.

But the one thing I do know is,
Marv came to see you.

What'd you talk about?

Let's talk.

TREY:
All right.

I'm all about boots
on the ground,

but what are we looking
for here, Liam?

The border.

The real border between
our land and the Davidsons'.

The boundary is in question,
to say the least.

My dad's original map shows
that the property line...

...ends way out there.

But the county map

shows that the property line
ends right where we're standing.

Wait, so...

this line,
right through the Walker ranch?

Right here.

So, which one's
the right one?

I don't know yet. I mean,
that's what's in question.

But someone could look at this
and come to the conclusion...

...we might be living
on their land.

[sighs]

[engine shuts off]

[knocking]

Cordi.

Hey.

Hi.
Hi.

Hi.
Uh...

Hmm.

Okay? Uh, there-there's
something here with-with you.

Or... and me, too.

Or us. This.

Wh-Whatever this is.

You know, and-and...

I've been thinking, you know,

I've been thinking
about, like...

all we've been through,
and, um, I... Hey.
