Walker (2021–…): Season 3, Episode 2 - Sittin' on a Rainbow - full transcript

Liam.

Liam!

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Look, look at me,
hey, take it easy.

-Take it easy. No, no, no... don't move.
-I'm fine.

- I'm fine, I'm fine, Cord.
- Hey.

- I'm fine.
- Okay,

what happened?
Wh-Wh-Why are you here?

They f... they found me.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.
- They...

Okay, okay, uh...



What about the kids? Mama?

They're all right.
Everybody's okay.

We're just looking...
looking for you.

Do you remember the Mitchells?
They-they got a trail cam

- of the plates of the van that took you, so... Hey.
- Okay.

The cavalry should be coming.

- Okay?
- Yeah, yeah, okay.

That's great. We just got to...

We got to just
hang tight, you know?

- Cordell.
- Yeah?

What? What aren't
you telling me?

Hey, you tell me. You
tell me right now.

We are gonna get out
of this together.

You're not gonna pull
some Walker Lone Ranger



- and risk yourself for me.
- Liam...

Hey.

Listen to me.

Promise me.

Promise me.

I promise.

- How old was he here?
- Three.

He tried to eat the
whole thing by himself,

then smashed it when I

- tried to take a slice.
- Mm-hmm.

Hey, what's going on here?

Just trying to find a
recent photo of Cordi.

Hmm.

HQ has an official

Ranger photo of him.
You know that, right?

Oh, we know. It's
just so serious.

That's the first time
he went away from home.

Wasn't even 21 yet.

It's the first time

I didn't know
whether he'd be back.

Hey.

He's coming back home.

Honey, why
don't you get some rest?

Cattle collar
tore. I need to fix it.

Now's the appropriate time?

Yes, Abs, now,

'cause there's absolutely

nothing that I can do
at this very moment.

Great,
yeah, looks good.

All right, take that,
follow that, appreciate it.

- Okay.
- Cassie. A word.

Yes, one second.

Hey, bro, what's up?
Can't talk right now.

Hey, I wouldn't be
calling you at work

if this wasn't important,
but, um, have you seen Liam?

We were supposed to
meet this morning.

Have
you called, texted?

Yeah, of course, Cass.

I haven't heard from him.
I think his phone's off.

Wait, wait, wait,
what, his phone is off?

Yeah. This isn't like him. I'm
driving around looking for him.

I know he and I are
just starting out,

but with Walker's
kidnapping and now this,

I care about him,
and-and the thought of...

I know, just don't
worry. Call you back.

Sir, I'm sorry to interrupt,

but I think Liam
Walker is missing, too.

What? No.

Yeah, he was supposed
to meet my brother

but didn't show, and now
he's not answering his cell.

When's the last time he
was seen or heard from?

Um, I was with him
yesterday at the ranch,

- but I'm not sure after that.
- Hi, you've reached Liam Walker...

Damn it. This can't be happening.

- Hi, you're reached Liam Walker...
- It's straight to voice mail.

Should we tell the family?

We're gonna have to.

Damn it.

All right, everybody, listen up.

Besides Ranger Walker...

his brother Liam Walker
is missing now, too.

Whoever did this

has not only attacked us,

but now they're coming
after our families,

and that...

that cannot stand.

We are not gonna rest

until we find them,
you understand me?

Clock is ticking.
Let's bring 'em home.

All right, we were able
to render the photo.

The van that took Walker?

We got a plate, but it's bogus.

Well, no
shocker there.

Wait a second.

- What's up?
- This is a manifest of all the fake plates

made at the chop shop
Miles was investigating.

Uh-huh. This van
plate's one of them.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Let me go talk to Miles.

Perez, we've been through this.

Maybe he knows more about
whoever was driving the van.

No, Miles told us
everything he knew.

Because we weren't asking
the right questions.

Come on, Cap.

I'll coordinate
with the Marshals.

I'll see if I can
get you access. Okay?

Oh, that-that could
take a couple of weeks.

He's still in
transitional holding.

- Let me go down there...
- Perez, no!

They're putting him in
WITSEC for a reason.

What are you gonna do? You
gonna charge down there

unannounced, out of protocol?

No, it's just gonna
make things harder.

We don't need the
Feds hassling us.

Listen, I want to find him, too.

We got to do it the right way.

Look, I got to... I
got to deal with this.

I will handle Miles,

you focus on the current
leads. Are we clear?

Stella Blue.

How you holding up?

Okay, given the circumstances.

We're doing everything we can.

- All right?
- I know.

That's, um... That's
kind of why I'm here.

- What do you mean?
- I want to help.

Like, actually help.

Look, Stella, I got
everybody on this, okay?

So the best thing you
can do right now...

Look, Captain, I
have to do something.

I can't just sit around anymore.

So either you can
let me help here,

or I'm going to
search every alley

and knock on every
door until I find him.

You are your father's daughter.

Look, your dad would
kill me if I let you

wander the streets
searching alleys.

Okay? But I've even got
my dispatchers pounding

the pavement on this, so
if you really want to help,

this phone has a dedicated
line for any information

coming in about the
disappearance. Okay?

You answer it,
follow the prompt,

take down the message,
give it to a Ranger.

Well, actually,
I thought that...

Please, please, I get it. I
understand. It's in your DNA.

But please, just...

answer the phone.

All right?

Why-why did they unchain you?

I don't know.

Mind games probably.

You know, treat us well,
get us comfortable,

then break us.

Do you think that's
what happened

to the, the woman
that you mentioned?

Julia.

Well, I hope not.

How do you know
she wasn't broken

and on their side now?

No, it wouldn't make any sense.

I mean, she had no
reason to help me.

I didn't give her anything.

But that's probably
what they're betting on.

That I would doubt her.

Or, hell, that I'll
doubt you right now.

You don't think...

No, no. No, no,
no, no. I'm saying,

all we have right now,

all we can have is our gut.

My gut tells me that
she is on our side.

And that you're my brother.

That's for him. You
have other dinner plans.

Please eat. Eat.

Thank you.

But I'm stuffed.

What do you want?

We could really
use a guy like you.

I mean, an ally with
the Texas Rangers...

So-so what? So I can end
up like Captain Cole?

Scared into
swallowing cyanide?

Fenton Cole was
a disappointment.

You are different.

You are a man who,
when he sees a problem,

he takes care of it.

Just look at all
of the corruption

that you have
personally stopped.

D.A. McLawson,
Commissioner Stan Morrison,

D.A. Davidson.

So clearly you have enough reach

to have done your
opposition research on me.

So tell me, what in that
big old file of yours

makes you think that I'll turn?

Because you are,

as your former
partner described,

"edge of the coin
Cordell Walker."

A man not afraid to
make the hard choice.

So what's the hard choice here?

Blowing it all up?

Okay, I'll give it to you.

There are some
flaws in the system,

but there are good
people making strides

to fill those cracks.

Is that how you
describe your wife?

She died at the hands
of an organization

that you serve.

How does that work?

Even after all of your strides,

you will never get her back.

The same could be said
about joining you.

You could save the next widower.

You're a hypocrite.

All this talk of corruption.

You murder people
who are in your way

or who don't comply.

To me, it sounds like
you're a terrorist.

You can call it what you want.

It is all necessary
to trigger change.

You still haven't
told me what you want.

It's simple.

We are anarchists.

We want to create a power
vacuum and then fill it.

And first step is taking down

the Texas Rangers
with a Trojan horse.

But...

you should mull it over.

Oh, um... one more thing.

If you don't start to come
around and see reason...

other tactics are gonna
have to be applied.

We didn't bring
your brother here

just for a family reunion.

You may be able to handle this,

but your brother?

Mm.

Come on, Sergeant, I
got 100 riding on this.

At ease!

What in the hell are
you doing, Walker?

MCRP three-three
dash zero bravo.

How to counter a front headlock.

You're never gonna win
a fight by reciting

some damn field manual.

Weren't you like
some crazy hellraiser

in high school or something?

All right, listen.

You got to get out
of your head, kid.

You're telegraphing all
your moves to the guy.

You got to fight in the moment.

You got to let the
situation dictate

what you're gonna do
next, not some book.

You really want to
come out on top here?

Try a little spontaneity.

Next time he tries to
switch you like that,

you shoulder-roll into him,

and then lock on to his arm.

- He'll tap.
- All right.

All right.

All right, round two!

Let's go! Let's go!

All right,
y'all, lock it up!

All right, we got a
briefing in 40 mikes.

Hit the showers.

Freakin' stinkers.

Liam, hey...

What did they do to
you? It's all right.

Shh. Take it easy.
Take it easy.

- I'm fine. I'm fine.
- All right.

I need to take a
look at this, okay?

- Just... easy. Just...
- Ow.

- I-I'm all right.
- No, that's not good.

We, we got to get
you out of here.

How was your...
how was your meal?

Brother, I, I didn't eat a bite.

Good. Neither did I.

Texas Rangers.

I'm calling about
that missing Ranger.

Okay, um, can you
give me your name

and tell me what you know?

I saw them.

I'm sorry, you saw who?

I saw them take him.

Inside, I mean.
Really tall, right?

Yes. Can you tell
me what my da...

Can you tell me what
the Ranger was wearing?

Uh, dark shirt, shorts,

and sneakers, like
running shoes.

Sorry, maybe calling
was a mistake.

No, no, please.

Can you give me your name?

Shannon. I don't want
to give my last name,

- if that's okay.
- That's fine, Shannon.

Can you tell me exactly
where you saw them?

Can I ask if there's a reward?

Like money or something?

It-it seems like
there should be.

I mean, he is a Texas Ranger.

That's got to be
worth something.

You know, I-I
shouldn't have called.

Wait, wait, wait.

Yes, there is a reward.

I thought so.

How much?

Thanks for doing this.

Eh, it's kind my job.

I know, but if I
wasn't your brother,

I know I probably wouldn't
get to ride along.

I appreciate it,
you sticking by me.

Hey, I promised you I'd
never let you go through

anything alone again.

And I meant it.

Besides, I need your help...
for the carpool lane.

Stel, what's, uh,
what's going on in here?

Hey, do you have any money?

Why?

I just need it.
Can you go get it?

Okay,

you trashed your room,

you're yelling at
me, which for you

is not normal at all,

and you're asking for money.

That sounds like something
I should go tell Mawline.

No. Don't.

I think I can find Dad.

How?

A woman called the
Ranger station,

and I'm going to meet her.

Okay, I'm-I'm coming with you.

No, you aren't.

Yes, I am.

Stella, we just went
through this, okay?

And we're both sick of it.

So if this is something
that's gonna help find Dad,

we're doing it together.

Texas Rangers. I'm here
to interview a witness:

Miles Vyas.

I'm not seeing anything.

Vyas. V-Y-A-S.

Yeah, he should still
be in processing.

I need to question him
before he ships out.

All right.

It was sent down by command.

Nope, not in the system.

It's okay. I'll wait.

Hello. Marshal Services.

Yes,
this is Director Kenneth

out of Dallas.

There is a Ranger coming down

to speak with a witness.

Yes, yes, sir.

She's actually here right now.

- I just don't see her clearance.
- Uh, Marshal,

must I remind you
of the importance

of interagency cooperation?

Oh, no, sir, I just
thought that...

Yeah, save it, Marshal.

- I don't want to hear it.
- Okay. Saving it.

- Is that understood?
- Uh, let me,

let me try again. Hang on.

I ask that you,
uh, cooperate here.

Yeah, no, I...

Howdy.

Miles!

Cassie?

- Hey.
- Cassie.

- What are you doing here?
- Hey, how are you?

- Yeah, good?
- Yeah, good.

Listen, Walker's been
kidnapped. His brother, too.

- Wait, wait, what?
- Yeah, we're trying to get them back.

And we got a plate number
from the van that took Walker.

It's a fake from the chop
shop you were investigating.

So is there anything that
you forgot to tell us

or didn't mention?

Like names, other locations?

No. I-I put everything in
the statement. It was...

Well, think, Miles. Anything
at all you forgot to tell us.

Like creepy run-ins,
random calls, bad vibes...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, th-there was,
there was this little thing,

but I didn't think
it was relevant.

- What? What is it?
- Uh, uh... - Hey!

You're under arrest!

About a month ago, this
reporter, she contacted Rita.

Okay, she wanted to
talk to her about me,

but Rita was spooked,
okay, she ignored it.

- Okay.
- Later she said that she felt weird about it

because it was as
if the reporter was

- trying to tell her something.
- Her name. What was her name?

- Let's go. - Uh...
- Oh, come on, Miles, think.

Her name. What was her name?

Julia. Uh, uh,
uh, Julia Johnson.

Johnson. Got it. Thanks.

Dude, you're looking really fit.

- Really good.
- Now.

Are you okay?

Our sons are missing, Bonham.

I know.

Well, I'll leave
you to it, then.

Leave me to what?

Leave me to what?

Well, hell, Abeline,
I don't know.

Whatever it is you're doing.

Heaven Almighty,
would it kill you

to show a little bit of concern?

- I am concerned.
- Are you?

Because you'll
work in your shop,

you'll roam the halls,
you'll do everything

except admit that
you're worried.

It seems like you've given up.

Oh, maybe we just have
different ways of showing it,

but I am worried.

- Just not as much as you.
- That's obvious.

- Ask me why.
- Why?

'Cause both of our
boys are missing.

And that's just too
much of a coincidence.

It means that they're together.

And if that's the
case, then, damn it...

They just happen
to have a mother

who not only taught
them to love each other

but, above all else,

the importance of
sticking together.

And I take solace in that.

So, no, Abeline Walker,
I'm not as worried as you.

Well, why didn't
you just say that?

- Okay.
- This one right here?

- Yeah, we can rule this one out, though.
- Yeah.

Trey, will you give
us the room, please?

Yeah. Of course.

Captain, I'm sorry.

No, don't. Don't-don't
even try it.

You know how many
favors I had to burn

to keep you out of
federal custody?

I know I screwed up and I'm
prepared for the consequences.

Oh, cut the martyr crap, please.

You better tell me you got
something that can help.

A journalist. Julia Johnson.

She reached out to Rita Vyas
a while ago with information.

Okay. About what?

Miles thinks it
could be connected to

whoever took Walker.

On the way here, I
called her publication.

They said she was on
a leave of absence.

I called her cell, no answer.

So I called her sister.

She said she was on assignment.

Okay, so she's telling
work she's on family leave.

She's telling her family
she's on a work assignment.

- Exactly.
- I'll get a warrant for Johnson's house.

You're coming with me.

And let's get
something straight.

This is not a reward.

Under any other circumstances
I'd have your badge

right now, you understand me?

I can't let you out of my sight.

I got you, I got you.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

Take it easy.

We've... we got to
get out of here.

What about the cavalry?

No, no, we can't wait.

Cordell, what aren't
you telling me?

What?

What aren't you telling me?

Sean... after our
little, uh, meeting...

It's not gonna take
him long to realize

that I'm not gonna crack.

And once he realizes that...

other tactics will be applied.

Meaning what?

Meaning, um,

they're gonna hurt you
to try and break me.

- I can... I can take it.
- I know.

I-I know you can.

But they're not just
gonna hurt you, Liam,

they're gonna kill you.

And that's why

we have to go. Now.

Shannon?

You're who I was talking to?

I'm with the Rangers.

Can you tell me where
you saw Ranger Walker?

- Do you have the money?
- Just tell us where our dad is.

Your dad.

That's what you were
starting to say on the phone.

Yes, okay, the missing
Ranger is our dad.

It doesn't really matter.

Now, just tell us
where you saw him.

She asked if you had the money.

Pockets feel empty, babe.

Hey, what's your name?

No, don't-don't-don't
talk to her.

Ooh, tough guy.

What if I want to talk to
her? You gonna stop me?

- Just give us the money.
- Tell me where my dad is.

Screw it.

- August!
- Ah-ah-ah.

- Hey.
- Don't go anywhere.

Give us the money.

Hey!

Wait, stop it. Stop it, wait!

Stop!

Here. Just take it.

This ain't even 200.
Where's the rest?

Freakin' amateurs.

Stella. Stella!

Okay, here, take
it. It's a classic.

It's worth way more
than ten grand.

Just take it and
leave us alone. Okay?

Why'd you have to
make it so hard?

Let's go, boys.

Hey, you okay?

Texas Rangers!

What do we got? We clear?

- Clear.
- Clear.

- Clear.
- All clear.

You find anything?

Not yet.

Except that.

Whoa.

Looks like this
journalist was onto these guys

even before Miles was.

I'm in. Check this out.

Captain.

I knew Sean was
involved in this.

Oh, my God.

You were right.

It's unpublished.

Is he on the wall?
Check it out.

I don't know.

- West Vale.
- What?

Isn't this the old
psych hospital?

Yeah.

Place shut down,
like, 30 years ago.

Why would Julia have a
brochure from an asylum

that closed down in the '90s?

Let's find out. Hey,
send a couple units

over to West Vale, see
if there's any activity.

Help!

Help me! Help.
Help my brother.

Listen to me, he has
internal bleeding.

If you don't help
him, he's gonna die.

You need to help us.

Hey, easy, easy.

Okay, okay.

All right, if he dies,

you may as well go
and tell your boss

to kill me, too.

Help.

The prisoner above
me, where is she?

Come on,
where is she?!

Where?!

Where did she get moved to?!

Basement. Cell two.

Cordi, let's go.

Whoa, whoa, easy.
Hold on, ho-hold on.

I'm here to help. I'm
here to help, okay?

I'm-I'm... I'm Walker.
I'm-I'm the guy, uh...

Baritone from downstairs?

Yeah.

Yeah. Uh, hey, you want
to get out of here?

We received intel

that insurgents in the area
are trying to get their hands

on some biochem weapons.

Dangerous poison we got to
stop them from acquiring.

Even a milk carton of this
stuff gets into the atmosphere,

it'd destroy a whole village.

Stand by for further
orders. Dismissed.

- Atten-hut.
- Fall out.

Good job today, Corporal.

In the match?

Most of the time, being
a Marine, a whole lot of,

"Yes, sir, no, sir," makes
for some good Marines, but

sometimes, when the
bullets are flying,

you just got to
have more than that.

You got to be your own man.

Like going off book?

Let me tell you something.
You ever find yourself caught

between following orders

and doing the right thing...

just follow whatever
your heart tells you.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Attention, all personnel.

We have three escaped prisoners
and need immediate assistance.

Let's go.

All right, get out of
here. Go, go, go, go.

- Go.
- Hey, wait. What about you?

There's something I
got to do first, okay?

Cordell, you swore to me...

I know. I know. Li-Listen.

I know what those are.

I've seen 'em before,
and I know what they do.

They're bad, Liam.
They're real bad.

I cannot let 'em
leave this place.

Okay, fine, then
we can come back.

- No, there's not enough time.
- We got to go.

Okay. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

I'll do this. I'll
be on my way, okay?

- Cordi...
- Hey.

I have to.

I promise.

219, 219. Over.

- Go for James.
- Yes, sir. About

the abandoned hospital you
requested us to check out?

There's heavy activity.

The place appearing
to be operational,

multiple armed personnel. Over?

Have all Rangers converge
on that location.

Everyone on site should be
considered extremely hostile.

Copy. Over.

I'm gonna need
those back, Ranger.

Walk back slowly.

Go! Go! Let's get out of here!

It's them. Run!

Go! Aah!

No, no, no. Wait. Please.

Put the gun down!

Put it down!

Walker!

Sean.

It's over.

Oh, I know.

But I don't feel like I've lost.

Until Valhalla, Marine.

You guys okay?

Yeah.

Where's Cordi?

Cordi!

Wasn't lying, was I, Stinker?

Hey, thank you for all
your help in there.

I'm Cordell Walker,
Texas Ranger.

- Julia. Julia...
- Oh, uh...

- Uh, Johnson.
- Yeah.

Cap, you may want to,
um, call a hazmat team.

I left 'em a present
in Radiology.

Wouldn't be Cordell
Walker if you didn't.

- What took you so long?
- I could circle the airport

again if you want.

Got your back.

I know. I know.

You... promised.

All right, partner.
What you need?

I need to hug my kids.
