Walker (2021–…): Season 2, Episode 13 - One Good Thing - full transcript
Geri does her best to keep the Walker family's collective chins up; Walker and Cassie look for any clues to help Bonham in his hour of need.
♪
You know, if you
get back in bed,
I'm pretty sure nothing
bad can happen today.
Is that how it works?
Just, uh, you know,
close the blinds, pull
up the covers and, uh...
Pancakes. Banana
pancakes. Yeah, well,
I'd probably burn 'em.
Oh, I know you would.
Thanks.
Did you get any sleep?
Yeah, yeah. You know, uh,
maybe a couple minutes between
4:00 a.m. and-and rooster.
Just thinking about Bonham's
bail hearing all night? Yeah.
And what I'm gonna say
to the ranch hands.
And how to even start packing.
And why the hell
I went back for
Dan Miller. And...
Okay. I think that's enough
"ands" for one morning.
You know what?
Cordi? You clearly need
your one good thing.
My-my what, now?
Your one good thing.
It's something my
dad used to do.
Back when we used to move a lot.
Back when Frank was
taking you all over
for the heart treatments? Yeah.
Every moving day, Dad
would have something
waiting for me. One good
thing. A gift. A meal.
You know, s-something special.
It made
days like today feel
a little less...
[clicks tongue] A little
less, uh, painful?
Exactly.
He was a port in the storm.
And maybe you can be, too.
[knocking]
Mama, morning.
Hey.Yeah. It's,
uh, time, Cordell.
Yeah. Morning, Geri.
Hey.
One good thing. All right.
Well, let me tell you, uh
it's not gonna be this.
How do you end an era
almost 150 years in the making?
I don't know the answer
to that, and the man who would
have the answer to
that can't be here.
♪ Give me a song...
Families were born here.
Friendships cemented.
Boy, we had some
good times, too.
♪ So I don't...
Christmas parties. Barbecues.
Uh, Fourth of July
fireworks, right over there.
Y'all remember.
But there were some
hiccups. You know,
we had some failed
businesses. I mean,
who-who really ever needed
Walker Hooch?
♪ Give me a song...
I've known some of you for, uh,
longer than I can remember.
♪ Broken heart
♪ Give me a song I know
♪ Right from the start
Others, not quite as long.
But I want to tell you this:
If you ever did one honest
day's work at Walker Ranch,
then you are family.
♪ Just give me a song
for my broken heart... ♪
How's it coming with the prep?
♪ Something that I'm
feeding, give me... ♪
One thing I just
don't understand:
Why did Dad bury that lantern?
It was the murder weapon.
Because he didn't
know what it was.
♪ Give me something...
But what he did
know is that lantern
has brought this family
nothing but pain for years.
Good riddance.
Now, could you please
sit down and eat?
You need to be at
your fighting weight
to bring your father home today.
Right? Yes, ma'am.
♪ Help me with my grief...
WALKER: My daddy always says,
uh [short chuckle]
family shoots you straight.
Tells you how it is.
So, that's why I wanted
everyone together here
today, one last time,
uh, for, uh,
for the last day of
operations at Walker Ranch.
I wanted to thank you for
all the blood and sweat
you've poured into this
place. I also wanted to
be here to answer any questions,
uh, you might have. MAN: So, what,
25 years and all we get
is "I'm sorry",
"grab a handful of
peppers out of the patch
on your way out"? I don't
know what the Davidsons'
intentions are. My-my hope is...
Maybe you should have
asked before you raced.
Trust me, you, uh, you don't
want me asking the Davidsons
for anything on your behalf.
He just had to
turn around. Sorry?
I-I didn't...
I didn't catch that,
Leon. Dan Miller.
We're all in this
mess because you just
had to turn around
and be the bigger man.
Do you feel like the
bigger man now, Cordell?
My family will not rest
until y'all are
all squared away
somewhere. Okay?
That's a promise. I'll just...
I don't know where yet.
Well, by all means...
take your time.
DENISE: Bonham Walker
is guilty, Your Honor.
He perpetrateda fraud.
And not just against my family,
but the people of this city.
25 years.
The Walker family
have built a business,
a legacy, on their good name.
In the coming weeks, we will
lay out witness testimony,
financial transactions
and evidence that prove
the defendant was
inside the barn
at the time of Mr. Davidson's
murder, struck him
in the head with a lantern,
and then buried
his murder weapon
so that his crimes could
never be unearthed.
Well, I am sorry,
Mr. Walker,
but your 25-year fraud is over.
Well, that was a remarkable
string of fiction
about everything other than
why we're here, Madam D.A.,
Thank you so much for that.
Your Honor, this is very simple.
A 68-year-old man has been
charged on very thin evidence.
This man has no priors.
Not only is he innocent,
but he's definitely
not a flight risk. DENISE:
He's not a flight risk?
He was just out destroying
evidence last week.
He tossed out a
25-year-old lantern.
Can we please stay
on planet Earth?
Of course, of course.
He was just casually
burying his own murder weapon.
Your Honor, if the
Defense is not able
to finish a statement...
Mr. Walker is correct.
D.A. Davidson Miller
tighten it up. Yes, sir.
Thank you, Your Honor.
You know what,
while we're at it,
why don't we discuss this very
wild conflict of interest?
If the D.A. won't proactively
recuse herself,
then the Defense will be filing
a motion for disqualification.
Can the bench please
step in here? DENISE:
There is no state law that
specifically prohibits me...
ESQUIVEL: I don't want to hear it.
You're not gonna prosecute your
own father's murder, Madam D.A.
The Defense's motion is granted.
Thank you, Your Honor. This'll be
your last hearing on this matter.
Now, on the matter of bail.
Given the previous attempts
at destruction of evidence,
bail is denied.
[handcuffs clicking]
♪
[guard speaks in distance][door
buzzes, latch clicks]
Son.
Thank you.
Well, ain't this this the
horseshoe on the other foot.
Bet you've been in this
room hundreds of times.
Never like this.
Daddy, y-you're not gonna
be in here for long,
you hear me? Now, don't
blow sunshine up my ass.
How'd it go with
the ranch hands?
The-the bunkhouse is behind you.
Uh, uh, a few... holdouts. Uh...
That's how it's
gonna be, you know.
So, you need to steel
yourself. Hang tough.
[door buzzes, latch clicks]
Hey. Hey. Oh.
You okay?
ABELINE: I'm fine. How are you?
Oh, I'm fine,
darling. I'm fine. Mm.
So, where we at?
LIAM: I'm required to
tell you, by law, that
the D.A.'s office has
offered you a plea deal.
Ten years.
[scoffs]Seven,
with good behavior.
You would plead guilty
and admit to the
murder. ABELINE: Well,
I'm sure you told Denise exactly
where she could put that.
LIAM: In more lawyer-
appropriate terms,
I did, yeah. BONHAM:
So, ten years
if I admit to murder.
LIAM: Yeah.
I'm not a guilty man, son.
I know that. We know that.
I don't think Denise is
gonna take your word, though.
Well, speak up, Cordell.
You and Cassie
been looking into.
Marv's murder.
Can we beat this?
Uh...
Well, I-I think
I said I would win the race,
and look where that got us,
so I don't-I don't think
I'm the guy to-to really...
That wasn't my question.
I think we, uh...
I think we fight.
I think we win.
Well, there's that
sunshine again.
Okay.
So
You tell her where she can
put it, Liam.
JAMES: Perez. Walk with
me real quick, please.
What's up, Cap? Just a heads-up:
D.A.'s been lobbying hard,
winning over stars and Stetsons.
[sighs] Let me guess...
Bonham's bail hearing
didn't exactly help
the counter-offensive?
Davidson knows they got a
lot of carrots and sticks
at her disposal to help people
see it her way,
you know? Cowards.
I don't disagree. I just, uh...
[sighs]
I hear the violins,
I see the iceberg,
and there are not
enough life rafts.
But you should get one.
You just got here...
This isn't your fight.
Maybe. Walker
asked me to look
into Marv's case.
I believe Bonham is innocent.
And I think you do, too.
So, if you don't mind,
I would like to go down
with your ship, Captain.
All right. Just so we're clear,
this wasn't, like, a
test or anything.Mm.
No. Of course not.
But if it was?
It wasn't.
Yeah. But if it was?
Then you would have passed.
Okay? Do me a favor...
Don't ever wink again.
Yeah. Cool. Got it. Now,
can we chat for real?
Because I think I have the
beat on Marv's true killer.
Why didn't you start with that?
'Cause you wanted to
do the test thing.
[horseshoes clattering]
Oh! [Sighs]
[sighs] Can you please be
more careful, all right?
Gramps is gonna get pissed.
You haven't said a word
to me all morning, and now
you're worried about horseshoes?
Yeah, what's there to say?
I don't know... maybe,
"I'm sorry, Stella"?
"I know I've been
acting like a jackass
all morning, Stella,
but..."Wait, wait, "I-I'm sorry"?
No, this is happening
to me too, you know?
You know what?
Forget it. No, no, no.
No, I want to know. I
mean, are you seriously
blaming me for Grandpa?
Fine. Yes.
You just had to go and climb
that barn, didn't you? You just
had to impress Faye.
You do realize that she
only acts like she likes you
half the of the time, right?
It's not just half the time.
What?
Look, Faye doesn't like
me any of the time.
All right? She broke up with me.
Did she say why? Yeah, it's-it's
it's too much drama, Stella.
Too many lanterns. It's
not just about court.
Plus, I think everyone
at school thinks.
Gramps did this too.
It's real nice to know
whose fault you think it is.
I'm going to HQ.
Wait, just hold on, hold on.
What? What you said
to Dad in there
about the race.
Okay?[clears throat]
Of course you had to go back.
You're a Ranger... You
save lives for a living.
Okay? And as much as I wanted
Dan to suffer out there,
you wouldn't want that
on your conscience.
The guilt. You-you would feel...
I would feel like we still
had a roof over our heads.
I'd feel like y'all had
a roof over your heads,
like my kids would have
a roof over their heads.
But can we not talk
about that right now?
Let's-let's stay focused
on Dad, okay? Yeah.
ABELINE: Cordell's
right. Especially because
there's something the
two of you don't know
about the night of the fire.
Okay. Uh,
what?
You boys remember
hearing anything
about the Davidson child...
The one that died
just after birth?
Uh... yeah, bit-bits and pieces.
Yeah. Well, the night before
the barn fire, Marv came to me.
And he told me
the child lived.
Gale had no idea.
And I-I think she...
I think she still has
no idea. But we do know
that Marv challenged your father
to a horse race. And
that he was desperate
for the money. And I
can't help but feel that
those the two events are linked.
And I ju-I just don't know how.
You knew that this
whole time? Wait,
that's how you're
gonna react to this?
Okay, I'm sorry, Liam, our-our
father is behind bars right now
and this information could help
exonerate him. If Marv's death
and-and financial troubles are
linked, that could prove motive.
It's also only a theory.
O-Okay, well, fine. Are
there any other theories
you or you care to
share with me right now?
Please.
ABELINE: I know
this is hard for you
to understand, but this was not
my secret to tell.
And I couldn't make
any sense out of it
until after your
father was arrested.
So judge me or don't, it's
your choice. But use it.
And find the man that really
murdered Marv Davidson.
Okay, let's see...
Hey. Cass.Hey.
Hey there. Uh
hey, there are about, uh
four or five empty desks.
Wh-Why are you at mine?
Okay... JAMES: Hey.
How's the family holding up?
Cap. They, uh,
um... [clears throat]
yeah, been better.
However,
I-I think I might have something
to help at least one of them.
Good, so do we.
Or so does Cassie.
Okay. So, short story first.
I understand we have
a mutual friend.
Agent Tessa Graves. Did she
think you were corrupt too?
Yeah, she mentioned you might
still have that
stuck in your craw.
Anyway, we did a RICO task
force. I was the rookie,
which meant I was on
forensic accounting.
Sure.So...
Perez followed the money.
Turns out that
Marv spent a decade
paying one ranch hand
a monthly stipend.
A-a rancher paying
a-a ranch hand...
That's-that's your big
break? Okay, wait for it.
His name's Nate Smith. He hadn't
worked for Marv in 11 years.
We think that Nate
found out about
Marv's questionable
business practices, put
the squeeze on his boss.
Payments stopped
three months later,
right before Marv was murdered.
The timing begs a
lot of questions.
I don't think it was
questionable business practices.
What makes you say
that? Let's just say
my parents keep
too many secrets.
But, yeah, we'll-we'll
check it out.
Come on, Cass.
I'll explain
everything on the way.
Mm-hmm. All right.
Keep me in the loop. Yes, sir.
Nate Smith! Cordell Walker.
Yes, sir. Saw about
your dad on the news.
Must be a
hell of a time up
at Walker Ranch.
Yeah, well, you know, don't
believe everything
you see, Nate.
Uh, we're-we're
hanging in there.
You here about your ranch hands?
You send 'em my way,
I'll take care of 'em.
WALKER: That's, uh,
awful kind of you, Nate,
but, uh...
But this ain't about
gainful employment?
No, sir. We were
hoping you could detail
some payments between March
of '86 and the end of '95.
WALKER: And what
they were really for.
Ooh, should've seen
that one coming.
We're just turning
over every rock.
Coming around asking
about monthly payments.
No, I think you
heard the same rumors
I used to.
Marv's second child, right?
The one that secretly
made it? Just rumors.
Okay, well, we have
it on good authority
that they're-they're not
just rumors. I had it
as bunkhouse banter.
And those payments? Just rent.
Cattle he didn't have room for.
That certainly clears
up our confusion.
We'll just sync up with Marv's
estate on the rent agreement,
and I'm sure they have it.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Be seeing you, Cordell. Ranger.
WALKER: Hey, Nate, uh, you
know, I'm gonna-I'm gonna
need you to-to wipe that smile
off your face. Just rent?
Come on, now. We're
being serious.
Excuse me, son?
You know what I'm thinking?
I'm thinking that, uh,
it was you
who killed Marv Davidson.
And I think right now
you're figuring out that
25 years of lies is finally
catching up with you.
Is that right?[chuckling]
I told you to stop smiling.
I think you took
that bunkhouse banter
straight to the bank. You
blackmailed Marv Davidson
over the existence
of that child.
And then when Marv turned
the spigot off, you decided
you were gonna get paid
one way the other. Right?
Marv disregarded a child,
and you were okay to go along
with it as long as
you were made whole.
Am I right?
Your daddy
offered me a job once.
I turned him down.
Seemed like there's something
off about you Walkers.
Something two-faced.
I'm glad this town finally
gets to see you for
what you really are:
Criminals.
Don't come back
without a warrant.
[truck door opens]
[door closes][engine starts]
[sighs]
I don't want to hear it, all
right? I don't need to hear it.
I don't need you to say
it. I know, okay? I...
I stepped in it. Yeah, sorry...
What was that? I can't
hear you over the sound
of our blown lead.
All I could see
was red, okay? All I
could see was-was my dad
and-and sand slipping
through our fingers.
And-and Dan in the dirt.
And I... I forced it.
Okay? I'll admit
it. I forced it.
You happy?
First: Eat.
What? I always think
better with food. Eat.
Second: Next time
your gut feels broke,
maybe tell me before we
meet the murder suspect.
Okay, my gut is fine.
Oh, right, yeah. 'Cause this
isn't all a diatribe
about self-doubt.
We're partners.
When you're off, I can be on.
I just... I-I need
to know when you're... You
need... you need to know I'm off.
Yes.
Yeah, I get it.
I'm not gonna pretend to
know what it feels like
to have a father behind bars.
But I do know the man I
heard about in that race.
And he is someone I'm
proud to call partner.
And I don't think
you actually regret
any of your choices
from that day.
Just the outcome.
Don't really know how
to separate the two.
Hey, I'm gonna
take a sec. I-I
just need to, uh, um... need to
finish packing up the ranch
and, uh,
get my head on straight. Uh...
I'll meet you back at HQ, yeah?
Sounds good.
Hey.
We can crack this
thing, partner.
Yeah. Uh, here's hoping.
[keys clatter]
[board clatters][lid closes]
Hey.
You're here.Yeah.
You're early. It's not time yet.
I just thought
y'all were finished.
Well, we're obviously
not finished.
But I'll... I'm working on it.
I'll be out soon enough.
Um...
Walker, I got to be
straight with you.
Bonham needs to take that deal.
It's fair, uh, considering...
We've retained counsel. Thank
you. What you have is another
conflict of interest.
Says the woman
who was disqualified
by a judge today.
That doesn't mean I
don't hear things.
I mean, do you really
think I didn't have my team
run down the Nate Smith theory?
Do you think I would be sloppy
with my own father's
investigation? Or yours?
So that's the real reason
for this house call...
You're-you're... you're
worried about my partner and me
double-checking your work.
I'm worried about you nuking
someone else's career.
First your brother. Now Perez.
Yeah, respectfully, don't
bring Cassie into this.
You're the one that brought her
into it. Son of the accused?
To a grand jury, that's just
gonna look like
witness tampering.
Well, it's good to know where
the D.A.'s office stands.
Anything else?
Cordi.
How did we get here?
I mean, I thought we were gonna
be the ones to stop
the feud. Yeah,
well... guess we turned
out to be the exact people
our parents told us we
would be. Go figure.
Yeah. All right.
[door opens, closes]
["Been Struggling"
by Alex Maas playing]
Little young. But if
you're looking for
some happy hour therapy,
I mean... I appreciate it, but
these problems may be
bigger than the bar.
♪ All over my chest...
[short chuckle] You're 15.
I'm old enough to
destroy a family.
Okay. Well, that sounds
like the root beer talking.
No, it's just the,
uh, older sister.
You know, Stella says that.
Gramps is being
taken away because
I brought the lantern home.
Do you really
believe that? I mean,
you don't think she just had a
rough day, took it out on you?
You know the butterfly effect?
Small events ripple
into large outcomes.
Yeah. I'm-I'm aware. Go on.
So, like, if I hadn't
found that lantern
and Gramps never buries it,
and the judge never blocks bail.
Yeah, I don't think it works that
way. I don't know, it sounds like
pretty serious physics on the
Internet. Well, it always does.
Augie, here's the deal:
There's about 25 years
that precede your ripple.
I get it. You're worried
about your grandpa.
Aren't we all?
Augie, everyone is
spiraling right now.
So, why don't we talk about
a little theory that my dad
used to call "one good thing."
WALKER: Cassie.
CASSIE: Hey, what's up?
So, I-I just had a
visit from our D.A.
You good? You sound spooked.
I'm more worried about you.
Listen, Denise mentioned
witness tampering.
Even grand jury.
Just wanted to
shoot you straight.
Flying under the
Walker banner right now
might, uh... might
be a little toxic.
[chortles] Just right now?
I know coming back
to the Rangers
was-was a-a difficult choice,
and I-I... I just don't...
I don't want to
make it any harder.
Damn, she did spook you.
I don't think your instincts
were that off, here, Hoss.
I think they put the fear of
God into our prime suspect.
Our prime su...
Wait, Nate Smith?
Wait... did he do something?
After your late-game ejection,
I hung back,
surveilled his place.
Our innocent rancher...
He packed up his luggage
and swung by the bank.
Looks like getting
out of town to me.
Okay, wh-where are you now?
You're not gonna believe this,
but I'm at The Side Step.
What the hell is
Nate Smith doing there?
I don't know. But toss that raft
and bring some hell down here.
Yes, ma'am.
[engine revs]
[indistinct conversations]
Geraldine Broussard.
Hi.
You don't remember me?
Uh...
It's-it's Nathaniel.
Nate Smith.
Nope, sorry.
I haven't seen you
since you was a kid.
Um... Yeah, who-who are you?
I'm a friend of your dad's.
Friend of Frank.
Uh... I helped
pay for your heart
surgery, in a way.
WALKER: Clear the
bar. Texas Rangers!
Everybody out! Nate,
what are you doing here?
Walker, do you know this guy?
He's a... a person of interest
in the Marv Davidson case.
This isn't just about
Marv. It's about Bonham.
And her.
Okay. I'll ask again. What?
What are you doing here?
All right, your instincts
were right, back at the ranch.
But you j... you just, you
got it all twisted in the end.
But...
Bonham is a good man.
Now, he don't deserve
what's happening to him.
And she needs to
hear this from me.
Hear what?
Can I have this conversation
with Geri in private, please?
No, if this is about Bonham,
then whatever you tell me,
he can hear it too.
CASSIE: All clear.
All right.
If you don't
remember me, do you
remember a pink music box?
GERI: Uh, yes. My-my father
gave me one when we came to
Austin for the first time.
NATE: He bought it for you
when you were staying with me
in Brushy Creek. He said it-it
helped you sleep.
Yeah, I-I remember.
Okay, Nate
how do you really know Frank?
I used to work up in OKC a
lot. And we became friends.
And Geri got sick, so she was
spending a lot of time
with specialists in Austin.
I'd-I'd go with your dad
a lot to the hospital.
It was near a duck pond.
It's by a creek.
NATE: Austin General
had this new treatment,
but Frank couldn't afford it.
They were gonna discharge you,
and Frank came to
me with this idea.
A robbery.
N... Uh, no.
[short chuckle] Okay,
that's
that's not my father.
He wouldn't-he wouldn't do that.
Oh, I agree, but-but he
was-he was desperate.
Who were you gonna rob? Marv.
Frank and I used to work for him
before he moved up to OKC.
Marv was always living
high on the hog,
but shorting his employees,
so Frank asked him for
his back pay to help
cover the surgery.
Marv told him to pound sand.
But...
I knew where Marv hid his money.
Hell, all we had to do was
go up to... to Hill Country,
take the money out of a slick
that Marv kept in his barn.
Not all of it, mind you. Just
just enough.
Got it.
Right there.
Come on, Frank, hurry up.
We were just there
for the money.
But then I saw smoke
creep in under the door.
We got to go. We've got
enough, right there.
[coughing]
NATE: But the barn caught fire,
and it was getting
out of control.
[coughing]Frank, the window!
[grunting]
[coughing]
NATE: We split up.
[coughing]
Smoke got to me,
and... I think I passed out.
When I come to...
[coughing]
[grunting]NATE: I see Bonham,
and he's got this
crazy look in his eye.
He was trying to save a life.
Not take one.
What happened, Frank?
It's taken care of.
The hell you mean?
And Marv
won't be a problem ever again.
Frank came back with the money,
and Marv Davidson was dead.
He caught him in the
act, Geri. I'm sorry.
I d...
Um...
I-I guess I'm not
understanding...
Why-why would my
father kill someone
to pay for my-for my treatments?
Uh, this-this
doesn't... this

they weren't hush money.

they were child support.

Is your father.
What?! He's your birth father.
No.

WALKER: Okay, listen...
Are you hearing
what you're saying?
Okay, before Marv died,
he-he... he went
to my mom, okay?
And he told her
he had a child out there.
Stop. A child
everyone thought was dead.
But who wasn't
dead. Okay? Who-who

DENISE: Bonham Walker
is guilty, Your Honor.
He perpetrateda fraud.
And not just against my family,
but the people of this city.
25 years.
The Walker family
have built a business,
a legacy, on their good name.
In the coming weeks, we will
lay out witness testimony,
financial transactions
and evidence that prove
the defendant was
inside the barn
at the time of Mr. Davidson's
murder, struck him
in the head with a lantern,
and then buried
his murder weapon
so that his crimes could
never be unearthed.
Well, I am sorry,
Mr. Walker,
but your 25-year fraud is over.
Well, that was a remarkable
string of fiction
about everything other than
why we're here, Madam D.A.,
Thank you so much for that.
Your Honor, this is very simple.
A 68-year-old man has been
charged on very thin evidence.
This man has no priors.
Not only is he innocent,
but he's definitely
not a flight risk. DENISE:
He's not a flight risk?
He was just out destroying
evidence last week.
He tossed out a
25-year-old lantern.
Can we please stay
on planet Earth?
Of course, of course.
He was just casually
burying his own murder weapon.
Your Honor, if the
Defense is not able
to finish a statement...
Mr. Walker is correct.
D.A. Davidson Miller
tighten it up. Yes, sir.
Thank you, Your Honor.
You know what,
while we're at it,
why don't we discuss this very
wild conflict of interest?
If the D.A. won't proactively
recuse herself,
then the Defense will be filing
a motion for disqualification.
Can the bench please
step in here? DENISE:
There is no state law that
specifically prohibits me...
ESQUIVEL: I don't want to hear it.
You're not gonna prosecute your
own father's murder, Madam D.A.
The Defense's motion is granted.
Thank you, Your Honor. This'll be
your last hearing on this matter.
Now, on the matter of bail.
Given the previous attempts
at destruction of evidence,
bail is denied.

didn't exactly help

Let's-let's stay focused

ABELINE: Cordell's
right. Especially because
there's something the
two of you don't know
about the night of the fire.
Okay. Uh,
what?
You boys remember
hearing anything
about the Davidson child...
The one that died
just after birth?
Uh... yeah, bit-bits and pieces.
Yeah. Well, the night before
the barn fire, Marv came to me.
And he told me
the child lived.
Gale had no idea.
And I-I think she...
I think she still has
no idea. But we do know
that Marv challenged your father
to a horse race. And
that he was desperate
for the money. And I
can't help but feel that
those the two events are linked.
And I ju-I just don't know how.
You knew that this
whole time? Wait,
that's how you're
gonna react to this?
Okay, I'm sorry, Liam, our-our
father is behind bars right now
and this information could help
exonerate him. If Marv's death
and-and financial troubles are
linked, that could prove motive.
It's also only a theory.
O-Okay, well, fine. Are
there any other theories
you or you care to
share with me right now?
Please.
ABELINE: I know
this is hard for you
to understand, but this was not
my secret to tell.
And I couldn't make
any sense out of it
until after your
father was arrested.
So judge me or don't, it's
your choice. But use it.
And find the man that really
murdered Marv Davidson.

um... [clears throat]
yeah, been better.
However,
I-I think I might have something
to help at least one of them.
Good, so do we.
Or so does Cassie.
Okay. So, short story first.
I understand we have
a mutual friend.
Agent Tessa Graves. Did she
think you were corrupt too?
Yeah, she mentioned you might
still have that
stuck in your craw.
Anyway, we did a RICO task
force. I was the rookie,
which meant I was on
forensic accounting.
Sure.So...
Perez followed the money.
Turns out that
Marv spent a decade
paying one ranch hand
a monthly stipend.
A-a rancher paying
a-a ranch hand...
That's-that's your big
break? Okay, wait for it.
His name's Nate Smith. He hadn't
worked for Marv in 11 years.
We think that Nate
found out about
Marv's questionable
business practices, put
the squeeze on his boss.
Payments stopped
three months later,
right before Marv was murdered.
The timing begs a
lot of questions.
I don't think it was
questionable business practices.
What makes you say
that? Let's just say
my parents keep
too many secrets.
But, yeah, we'll-we'll
check it out.
Come on, Cass.
I'll explain
everything on the way.
Mm-hmm. All right.
Keep me in the loop. Yes, sir.
Nate Smith! Cordell Walker.
Yes, sir. Saw about
your dad on the news.
Must be a
hell of a time up
at Walker Ranch.
Yeah, well, you know, don't

you see, Nate.
Uh, we're-we're

You send 'em my way,
I'll take care of 'em.
WALKER: That's, uh,
awful kind of you, Nate,
but, uh...
But this ain't about
gainful employment?
No, sir. We were
hoping you could detail
some payments between March
of '86 and the end of '95.
WALKER: And what
they were really for.
Ooh, should've seen
that one coming.
We're just turning
over every rock.
Coming around asking
about monthly payments.
No, I think you
heard the same rumors
I used to.
Marv's second child, right?
The one that secretly
made it? Just rumors.
Okay, well, we have
it on good authority
that they're-they're not
just rumors. I had it
as bunkhouse banter.
And those payments? Just rent.
Cattle he didn't have room for.
That certainly clears
up our confusion.
We'll just sync up with Marv's
estate on the rent agreement,
and I'm sure they have it.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
Be seeing you, Cordell. Ranger.
WALKER: Hey, Nate, uh, you
know, I'm gonna-I'm gonna
need you to-to wipe that smile
off your face. Just rent?
Come on, now. We're
being serious.
Excuse me, son?
You know what I'm thinking?
I'm thinking that, uh,
it was you
who killed Marv Davidson.
And I think right now
you're figuring out that
25 years of lies is finally
catching up with you.
Is that right?[chuckling]
I told you to stop smiling.
I think you took
that bunkhouse banter
straight to the bank. You
blackmailed Marv Davidson
over the existence
of that child.
And then when Marv turned
the spigot off, you decided
you were gonna get paid
one way the other. Right?
Marv disregarded a child,
and you were okay to go along
with it as long as
you were made whole.
Am I right?
Your daddy
offered me a job once.
I turned him down.
Seemed like there's something
off about you Walkers.
Something two-faced.
I'm glad this town finally

I mean, do you really
think I didn't have my team
run down the Nate Smith theory?
Do you think I would be sloppy
with my own father's
investigation? Or yours?
So that's the real reason
for this house call...
You're-you're... you're
worried about my partner and me
double-checking your work.
I'm worried about you nuking
someone else's career.
First your brother. Now Perez.
Yeah, respectfully, don't
bring Cassie into this.
You're the one that brought her
into it. Son of the accused?
To a grand jury, that's just
gonna look like
witness tampering.
Well, it's good to know where
the D.A.'s office stands.
Anything else?

Yeah. I'm-I'm aware. Go on.

Hi.
You don't remember me?
Uh...
It's-it's Nathaniel.
Nate Smith.
Nope, sorry.
I haven't seen you
since you was a kid.
Um... Yeah, who-who are you?
I'm a friend of your dad's.
Friend of Frank.
Uh... I helped
pay for your heart
surgery, in a way.
WALKER: Clear the
bar. Texas Rangers!
Everybody out! Nate,
what are you doing here?
Walker, do you know this guy?
He's a... a person of interest
in the Marv Davidson case.
This isn't just about
Marv. It's about Bonham.
And her.
Okay. I'll ask again. What?
What are you doing here?
All right, your instincts
were right, back at the ranch.
But you j... you just, you
got it all twisted in the end.
But...
Bonham is a good man.
Now, he don't deserve
what's happening to him.
And she needs to
hear this from me.
Hear what?
Can I have this conversation
with Geri in private, please?
No, if this is about Bonham,
then whatever you tell me,
he can hear it too.
CASSIE: All clear.
All right.
If you don't
remember me, do you
remember a pink music box?
GERI: Uh, yes. My-my father
gave me one when we came to
Austin for the first time.
NATE: He bought it for you
when you were staying with me
in Brushy Creek. He said it-it
helped you sleep.
Yeah, I-I remember.
Okay, Nate
how do you really know Frank?
I used to work up in OKC a
lot. And we became friends.
And Geri got sick, so she was
spending a lot of time
with specialists in Austin.
I'd-I'd go with your dad
a lot to the hospital.
It was near a duck pond.
It's by a creek.
NATE: Austin General
had this new treatment,
but Frank couldn't afford it.
They were gonna discharge you,
and Frank came to
me with this idea.
A robbery.
N... Uh, no.
[short chuckle] Okay,
that's
that's not my father.
He wouldn't-he wouldn't do that.
Oh, I agree, but-but he
was-he was desperate.
Who were you gonna rob? Marv.
Frank and I used to work for him
before he moved up to OKC.
Marv was always living
high on the hog,
but shorting his employees,
so Frank asked him for
his back pay to help
cover the surgery.
Marv told him to pound sand.
But...
I knew where Marv hid his money.
Hell, all we had to do was
go up to... to Hill Country,
take the money out of a slick
that Marv kept in his barn.
Not all of it, mind you. Just
just enough.
Got it.
Right there.
Come on, Frank, hurry up.
We were just there
for the money.
But then I saw smoke
creep in under the door.
We got to go. We've got
enough, right there.
[coughing]
NATE: But the barn caught fire,
and it was getting
out of control.
[coughing]Frank, the window!
[grunting]
[coughing]
NATE: We split up.
[coughing]
Smoke got to me,
and... I think I passed out.
When I come to...
[coughing]
[grunting]NATE: I see Bonham,
and he's got this
crazy look in his eye.
He was trying to save a life.
Not take one.
What happened, Frank?
It's taken care of.
The hell you mean?
And Marv
won't be a problem ever again.
Frank came back with the money,
and Marv Davidson was dead.
He caught him in the
act, Geri. I'm sorry.
I d...
Um...
I-I guess I'm not
understanding...
Why-why would my
father kill someone
to pay for my-for my treatments?
Uh, this-this
doesn't... this
doesn't make any sense.
No. I'm-I'm...
I'm sorry, but you're lying.
Wish I was.
Okay, Nate, those payments
they weren't hush money.
They were, uh
they were child support.
What?
And, uh, and-and you
you were the middle man
between Marv and Frank, right?
For a long time.
Too long. What are
you talking about?
Cordi.
Hush money?
Child support?
There is no one alive
who can even speak to this.
That's not entirely
true, Ger. Uh...
Maybe we should...
hang back? WALKER: No.
No, no, no, no. My, uh, my-my
my gut is telling me
something, and, um...
What? I-I think
we should get Abby
here. You know?
He's accusing my
father of murder.
Are you hearing that?
Yeah... [clears throat]
Why would he murder
some random man?
Ger, Ger,
M-Mar...
Marv, uh,
w-wasn't random.
Marv Davidson is, uh...
What?
Is your father.
What?! He's your birth father.
No.
Are you hearing yourself?
WALKER: Okay, listen...
Are you hearing
what you're saying?
Okay, before Marv died,
he-he... he went
to my mom, okay?
And he told her
he had a child out there.
Stop. A child
everyone thought was dead.
But who wasn't
dead. Okay? Who-who
who, uh, who isn't.
Because I am
looking at her right now.
I am not Marv
Davidson's daughter.
Yeah.
Pretty sure you are, Geri.
Just as much as you're Frank's.
