Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 2, Episode 18 - Deadly Vision - full transcript

Mommy, what's the
capital of Oregon?

Oregon? Port... No, um... Salem.

That's right. Just
seeing if you remember.

Oh. Uh-oh, we're out of milk.

I'll get some.

Better than homework.

Oh, well, thank you, Rebecca.

Gum?

One pack. Then
come straight home.

He's so cute. Can
I have one, Mom?

Oh, not today, sweetie.

Have to wait till we get
a bigger place, okay?

Your mom's right, little buddy.

Dogs need a lot of
room to run around,

just like kids.

Come on, let's go.

Yeah, that's right.

Brr!

Man, I got to tell you,

surveillance on a
rooftop is not my idea

of the adventurous
life of a Texas Ranger.

Builds character, Trivette.

I don't have character?

Yeah, you got character.

Just don't have any patience.

I was patient all last night.

You complained all last night.

I was freezing.

I had aches, and I had pains.

What about you?

Oh, wait, wait, wait.

You're the guy that
doesn't feel anything.

You know, a sniper in Nam
could lay here for 36 hours

without moving a muscle.

And what about
going to the bathroom?

I told you, he didn't
move a muscle.

Yeah, right. Well,
not the kid, man.

The kid gives Mother
Nature her due.

Behind a tree. That's
why she invented it.

How long do we
got to stay out here?

We're not leaving
here until they arrive,

even if it takes a month.

Like I told you, Trivette,

patience is a virtue.

Free, huh?

Even had their shots.

I hate to part with
the little critters,

but I can only keep two.

Wish I could have
one. But my mom works,

and it'd be alone all day.

Nobody likes being
lonely, especially dogs.

You can pet him, if you like.

Go ahead, hold him.

A week.

It's been a week, Walker.

You think maybe
they're not coming?

The Coyote said
the last shipment

was delayed at the border.

I got an idea.

Let's drop an electronic
sensor down there,

and then come
back when they trip it.

I've got a better idea.

Why don't we leave a note,

and when they arrive,
they can call us?

Very funny.

Well, well, well.

Looks like we won't have
to leave a note after all.

Shower, hamburger?

Nice work, Otillo.

Nice work, my man.

You got the money?

Yeah, in a grain sack.

Just like Jesse James.

I'm sorry your last
run got delayed.

New border guard, I heard.

Now dead, I heard.

Well, I always said

you were not a
man to cross, Otillo.

I'm out of here.

Where you going?

How about jail?

Texas Rangers.

Well, I only see one.

I only see work for one.

Ooh, tough monkey.

Yeah, right.

You haven't seen anything yet.

You kept me up all
week, double ugly,

and I'm mighty tired. Ow!

I got this thing about slavery.

You understand what I'm saying?

All right, I see how
you shot him in the foot.

I see how you shot
him in the hand.

But how the hell did you
nick him in the right ear?

The right ear?

I was trying for his left ear.

Yes. And as I'm
running the bath water,

I'm gonna be
whipping up an omelet,

and putting clean
sheets on my bed.

Rangers Walker and
Trivette. Hey, Alex.

This is Kay Senstad
and Meredith Clancy.

They've come to ask
us for our support and...

Hey, Alex, can we
save this for later?

'Cause we've been
out on that stakeout

for over eight days.

Mrs. Senstad's daughter

disappeared eight days ago.

I'm sorry to hear that, ma'am.

Yeah, I'm sorry. Uh,
aren't the police involved?

The police haven't
turned up anything.

Rebecca went to the market,

and she never came back.

Are there any leads, Alex?

Some guy in a van
giving away free puppies.

Now there's no trace of him.

You're the only
one that can help.

Are you a relative?

I had the vision.

What?

I felt it when Rebecca
was taken away.

And then, later, it came to me

that I could find her with
the help of a Texas Ranger.

One with the letter
C in his name.

My name begins with
W, and my partner's is T.

Cordell Walker.

You've gotta help me.

Please?

I know you don't believe her.

I can feel your contempt.

Yes, ma'am, I am concerned.

Police departments have
used psychics before,

all over the country,
successfully.

I've checked on it.

I know they have.

Then why won't you
give her a chance?

Ma'am, I'm sorry
about your daughter,

but folks in your situation
can be easy targets.

You're saying she's a fraud?

I don't know if she
is a fraud or not.

Some psychics do have the gift,

but many of them are fakes.

And I just don't want you
to be taken advantage of.

Then where else do I
turn? She seems sincere.

It's my little girl,
Ranger Walker.

She's all I've got in the world.

My partner and I will do
everything humanly possible

to find your daughter.

I promise.

Excuse me.

Walker.

Want some herbal
tea or something?

I'm fine, thank you.

I had a girlfriend in college
who used to read those to me.

Really? Some of the
stories were pretty good.

Actually, some of 'em were true.

So you're not as
skeptical as your partner?

No, I didn't say that.

I find the psychic
world pretty interesting,

but I wouldn't go so far as
to invest my retirement in it.

Besides, the dang girl left
me over what the cards said.

So did she read
you your fortune?

Said I should have been born
rich instead of good-looking.

Well, did she also tell
you I'm going to Austin?

No. Well, I am.

I've got to meet with
some legislative committee,

regarding this illegal
alien problem we've got.

Means I'm stuck
with the voodoo lady.

Look, I told Mrs.
Senstad we would

do everything we
could to find her child.

Just make sure she
doesn't rip her off, okay?

Okay.

Usual, big dog.

Yeah, why don't you
just go home, Jimmy,

and get some sleep?

Why don't you just
leave me alone?

Why don't you let the
psycho figure it out?

Psychic, C.D. Psychic.

I'll tell you,

Walker really roped me
into one this time, boy.

Yeah, old Cordell, yeah.

You think he's not thinking,
but let me tell you something,

he's always got
his ducks in a row.

Yeah, I went with a
little ol' gal one time.

Short, fat. I could
eat soup off her head.

She thought she
had psychic power.

I'd love to hear about
it some time, big guy.

Now, Jimmy, wait a minute.

She had a toehold on my
head worse than old Mabel's got.

Yes, sirree, she had me tied up

worse than a hog
lookin' at a wristwatch.

You're gonna have to explain
that to me some time, C.D.

You never hypnotized a hog?

You know what she said?

She said we'd solve this case

with a Ranger with
a C in his name.

Well, Cordell's not here.

I think she's talking
about you, C.D.

Get outta here.

She's seeing horses.

Yeah. A lot of horses in Texas.

Maybe she's talking
about California.

There's no scenery or anything.

It's... It's just lights.

I don't know, the horses...

they don't seem to be alive.

Maybe they're in a glue factory.

I really think that
we... Damn! I'm sorry.

Sorry, I'm losing it.

Don't force it. Just
let it come to you.

Yeah. Sometimes I push too hard.

Why don't we call it a day?

Jimmy, she's
just trying to help.

A little girl's life
could be at stake here.

You know, I'm gonna go back
to the office and do what I do.

I'm gonna check on some M.O.'s

and some parole
records, all right?

Meredith, I really don't think

there's anything
that you can do here.

She could work
with the sketch artist.

But you could work with
the sketch artist, maybe.

I knew you'd think
that was a good idea.

I'll call and set it
up for tomorrow.

All right.

I just want to be your friend.

I don't want to hurt you.

I really don't.

It's your move.

I want my mommy.

I'm going to take
good care of you.

My mommy takes care of me fine.

I can do better. Move.

Crown me.

Just like all the rest.

But I just... Cheated!

Did not! Just like Carol Anne,

you moved them
when I wasn't looking.

Now, you pick 'em up. Now.

Who's Carol Anne?

You keep acting bad, I
may take you to meet her.

I don't like this.

What? I don't like you!

Don't you ever
talk to me like that!

Oldfield was paroled from
Huntsville six months ago.

No violations.

He looks so kind.

When I started to
see him last night,

actually, it struck me that...

he could be kind.

Wallace.

Back in the slammer.

Cold eyes, huh?

No, more, uh...
More... hurt, really.

Okay, how about a Norval Hayes?

Kidnapped a Carol
Anne Slater in '84,

killed her a week later.

And angry.

Paroled to Dallas
five months ago.

Hasn't reported in eight weeks.

Why do they let these guys out?

If I prosecute him,
he won't get out.

I'm losing it.

Hey, Jimmy. Yeah.

I've got a blind date tonight.

You suppose she could
tell me what she looks like?

Or what kind of time
he's gonna have?

Way she's working,

probably have this
solved by sundown.

It's faster than you'll
solve anything, Fitch.

Here's your perp, Trivette.

Thanks.

I appreciate that.

Oh, my God.

It's the same guy.

Got an address.

Damn.

That's $1000 I owe you.

Well, come on, Rebecca.

Come on.

Hayes' last known address
is up here on La Vista.

She drew a good
likeness of him, did she?

C.D., you don't really
have to do this, you know.

What the little lady
said about the letter C

probably did mean me.

Yeah, she also said
it was kind of hazy too.

I've been known to
that effect on women.

It's where you're
going. Shut up!

It's where you belong.

Go ahead! Just do what
you're gonna do to me!

I don't care anymore.

You and me, big dog.

I think I seen a ghost
comin' up that chimney.

I want to be your friend.

I got friends at school.
I want to see them.

I want to see my mommy.

No, you can't do that. They'll
take you away from me.

Why don't you have
friends your own age?

Are you some kind of weirdo?

Don't say that.

You are. You are!

Don't you ever say that!

Texas Rangers!

I'd give anything to know
where that man went to.

It ain't been the same
around here without him.

He never caused you any trouble?

Norval? I wish I had a
thousand tenants like him.

Paid his rent on time,
in cash, did chores.

Even fixed my window
screens without me asking.

You a player?

Who's your favorite team?

Rockets, all the way.

Thanks.

Norval took Robbie
to his first game.

Robbie, he never seemed
strange to you at all?

Norval's just an overgrown kid.

It's a little more serious
than that, ma'am.

Look, if he comes back,
I need you to call us.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

I thought you gave back
the key when you moved out?

I found an extra.

Get evicted again?

No.

Well, things have been tight,

you know, hard times and all.

You'd have had hard times
in the Roaring Twenties, Hank.

You can't stay here.

Look, I can help you out
with this Senstad thing.

What is she paying you?

Fifty a day.

You could have got 75.

Look, I feel something
real about this one, okay?

I saw the guy. I ID'd him.

Honey, you have
always been for real.

Pretty much, anyway.

I'd like to keep it that way.

Well, sure. Sure.

Look, there's no harm
in getting some publicity,

and picking up
a little cash, huh?

I mean, why should you be
different from anybody else?

If I wasn't different,

I wouldn't be here
with you, now, would I?

I'm working on something... Uh.

Listen, I want you to meet me

outside the
courthouse at 3, okay?

Why?

Mm, surprise.

Rodney Glance?

Hey!

Hey, I didn't do nothing.
Nobody said you did anything.

I want to talk to you because
you were Norval Hayes' cellmate.

Yeah, well, his parole officer's
already busted my chops.

I need some information.

I'm sitting on a psych report
that says he craves affection.

He's a nice guy
until he's thwarted.

You know anything about that?

Nice guy, my butt.
Guy's a certified wacko.

Where is he, Rodney?

I don't know.

You never talk to him? No!

I mean, he hangs
out where kids are.

You know, the carnival, arcades.

The zoo, where he belongs.

You didn't have to run.

Well, I never saw
a cop that made me

wanna do anything else.

This Norval Hayes sounds
like a real piece of work, C.D.

Psych report says
everything's fine

till his wires get crossed,
then all hell breaks loose.

Yeah, just a bunch
of gobbledygook.

We keep talking to
psychiatrists and psychos,

we're gonna end up
arresting one another.

I'm overcome with
a feeling, Trivette.

Answer your phone.

I feel it's gonna ring.

Trivette.

You go stick it
in your ear, Fitch.

You too.

You're late. I told you 3:00.

I know. So what?

Why did you wear this?
You look like a flake.

I always dress like this.

What's wrong with
you? Forget it. This way.

Look, it wasn't easy for me
to set this thing up, okay?

So don't blow it. Let
me do all the talking.

You just look
preoccupied, all right?

Okay. You come
off better that way.

They're waiting.

It's the future, babe.
Hm? The future.

Let's get some coffee.

What the hell is she doing?

Until Meredith came on
board, the investigation

into Rebecca
Senstad's disappearance

was at a standstill.

Meredith, can you
give us any specifics

on what you've
discovered so far?

Well, um, discovered isn't
the term I would use exactly.

It's... It's more like
a sense that I get.

Yes, and... And Meredith Clancy

has given the
Rangers a solid sense

of what the
kidnapper looks like.

So we're very confident
that it's just a matter of time

before Meredith's unique gift

will lead the police
right to the child.

Cut the camera.
This interview is over.

No. No, no. Keep it
rolling. Keep it rolling.

This is Ranger James Trivette.
He is depending on Meredith

to succeed where his
own department has failed.

No. The DA's office is
gonna call a press conference

as soon as there's
information to release.

You want me to help
you with the camera?

That's all for now, Kim.

What are you doing?

Hey, hey. She's
not on your payroll.

She can talk to
whoever she likes.

Who are you?

This is Hank Meese.
He's a friend of mine.

No, no. I'm, uh...
I'm her manager.

You leave this case
alone, Hank Meese,

or I'm gonna put
you in jail till it's over.

Oh, now. Come on, Jimmy.

You're using Meredith
for your own good.

Now, what's in it for her?

You mean, for your own good.

C.D., get him out of my face.

Get! Now!

Going. Going. Just, uh...

I'll keep in touch, okay?

I'm sorry.

I... I just didn't
realize that...

Was it so bad?

Come on, we'll take you home.

Hank's always been
that way. I don't know.

He's smart, but in a
dumb way, you know?

I mean, I've tried to
tell him he just needs

to let his own natural
talent shine through.

Maybe he just don't have none.

Maybe that's the reason

you're so damned
important to him.

He didn't mean any harm.

That's not the point.

Norval Hayes could
see the interview.

He's sick.

He could panic, hurt
Rebecca, come after you.

Oh, God. Wait a minute.

If anything happens
to that little girl

because of what I...

No. I can't think like that.

I have to see her
peaceful and safe,

surrounded by white light.

Oh, no.

There she goes again.
She's vapor locked.

What is it, Meredith?

It's figures, like before.

Moving confusion.

Fear.

It's near.

It's near.

Who we gonna bust
in on now, partner?

Is it Rebecca?

I don't know.

But it's strong.

It's so strong.

Here! Stop here!

Anything more?

Partner, I think we got trouble.

Meredith, lay down on the seat.

Don't get up till we come back.

Get over here! Get down!

Get down on the
ground! Get down!

Open it! Now! Get it open!

Come on! Turn around!

Check it out.

Damn! This side. Over here.

Yes, sir.

Over here, come on.

Hurry!

Hey!

Damn. I hurt my hand.

Hey.

Well, you ought to showed
up about 30 minutes ago.

Where the hell you been?

I hurt my hand.

Come on, fight back.

You always do that.

This is boring.

Ha! There, you missed.

I'm not even trying anymore.

I wanna do something else.

Coming up a
report from Austin...

I hate it here.

Don't... Don't say
things like that.

Rebecca Senstad.

Although there has been
no official police statement,

I have learned that a
local woman, a psychic,

has been brought in to
help them in their search

for Rebecca Senstad.

I've just concluded
an exclusive interview

with the woman, Meredith Clancy.

Meredith, can you
give us any specifics

on what you've
discovered so far?

Well, first, "discovered" isn't
the term I would use really.

It's, um... It's more
like a sense that I get.

Yes, and Meredith Clancy
gave the Rangers a solid sense

of what the kidnapper
looks like, so we're...

We're very confident that
it's just a matter of time

before Meredith's unique gift

will lead the police
right to that child.

Cut the camera.

No, keep rolling.

Uh, this is Ranger
James Trivette.

He is depending on
Meredith to succeed

where the own
department of his has failed.

No, the D.A.'s office will
call a press conference

as soon as there's
information...

Want me to help
you with this camera?

It's okay, I won't let
them take you away.

You just better hope
that they don't try.

No one should attempt
to approach the kidnapper

as he is probably armed
and considered dangerous.

Oh, Hank must've
left the door open.

Wait, wait, wait.

Oh, my God.

Hank! Oh!

Sit down. Come on. Sit down.

Oh, my God. Oh!

Let me see that evidence bag.

Here you go.

Trivette?

Yeah. Yeah, I know.
I'm bringing her in.

Alex, let me call you back.

Why didn't I see this?

I should've known
Hank was in trouble.

I should've sensed something.

Even if you'd have seen it,

there's nothing
you could've done.

It was me he was
after, wasn't it?

He came here to kill me.

He must've seen
that news report,

like you said.

I never should have
gotten involved with this.

Meredith... No, Jimmy, I quit.

No more leading you on
wild goose chases, all right?

You can't quit.

Really? Why not?

You didn't lead us
on a wild goose chase

and you helped us take
down those slime bags

at the market this afternoon.

You wanna... You
wanna take a look at this?

It's her favorite toy.

She never goes
anywhere without it.

Well, then there's no question.

The person that
killed Hank Meese

is definitely the person
who has Rebecca.

And he wanted to
be sure we knew it.

Does he really think

you wouldn't come after him?

Rational people
don't kidnap children.

Hayes' prints are
all over the yo-yo.

So now all we have
to do is find him.

At least we know
Rebecca's still alive.

Yes.

Oh, hi. Yeah, hold on.

Jimmy. Yeah.

Walker on two.

Hey.

I heard about Meredith's friend.

Is she okay?

Yeah, I think so.

So what do you
think? Is she for real?

I tell you,

it's starting to look
that way, big guy.

I ran a check on
this Norval character.

There's three cases in
Texas with the same M.O.

You mean, since he was paroled?

Yeah.

Why don't you take
Meredith out to my ranch

for safety and post a guard
at Mrs. Senstad's house.

All right. Hey, you
ever coming home?

Probably tomorrow.

The sooner, the better.

Talk to you soon.

Be right back with
your crystal ball.

Just see if you can
get a read on her

for me Uncle Ray, all right?

Well, what's your
feeling, Jimmy?

Confused.

But you're a good
judge of character,

so just tell me what
you think, all right?

Okay.

I hope you don't
mind my saying this...

but you have the
most amazing aura.

Aura?

Yeah. It's so intense.

I mean, all around
you, bright colors.

Must be the
reflection of the fire.

No. It's more than that.

I should do a reading for you.

I have no use for such devices.

The spirits make themselves
known in their own way.

I wonder about a
person who seeks to profit

from the voices of the spirit.

You see, they
belong to all of us,

and we belong to them.

And if they choose
to speak through you,

it's a priceless gift.

And if you don't
own their words,

how can you sell them?

Well?

Well, what?

Can I trust her?

Trust your feelings, Jimmy.

That's the only
thing you can trust.

You all right?

Yeah.

I don't know,
maybe I am a fraud.

Isn't that what everyone's
waiting to hear?

Everyone wants to find Rebecca.

I just don't think I
can really help you.

Well, you already have.

You saw Norval Hayes.

Well, I'm always seeing things.

When I was 10, I saw my
parents die in a dream, car crash.

A week later, it
happened for real.

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

You know, when I was that age,

I remember seeing this
mother in a toy store.

She was falling apart

because she
couldn't find her child.

I kept thinking about that kid,

and then about that
happening to me.

About being alone and scared

and not knowing what to expect.

I need you to help
me find this child.

Okay.

All right, the Fool.

That's what I've
been telling you about.

First impressions?

You got to trust your
instincts over the obstacle.

All right. What's next?

I have to feel it.

Hmm. Death.

What? Everybody's
got that bad boy

in their future, right?

Right?

Yeah.

Hmm.

She's very scared.

But she's safe.

I'm sure of it.

Thank God.

This is weird.

It's like being in the
damn Twilight Zone.

Did she play with this a lot?

Not since she was a baby.

Hmm.

I can't put it down.

What... What do you see?

Bright lights.

Music.

People. It's a jumble.

Oh.

I lost it.

I'll be in touch.

It's here.

Trust your instincts.

The horses don't
seem to be alive.

It's right here.

What, Meredith?

I don't know.
It's a blur, but...

it's strong. It's so strong.

Oh, my God!

C.D.! Meredith! Get down!

Oh! Oh!

C.D., get an ambulance!

Just breathe.

There, it's not so bad.

That's not so bad.

And it keeps coming
back to horses and music.

Horses and music?

Do you know what that means?

No. That's just what
she keeps saying.

Meredith,

what do you mean
by horses and music?

Dead dancing horses.

The carousel.

She's near the carousel.

I'm sorry, Ranger,

but we have to
get her out of here.

Okay.

Dead dancing horses.

Carousel.

Could she be talking
about a carnival?

Yeah.

There's a carnival
in the stockyard.

A carousel at Six Flags too.

Okay, I'll check Six Flags.

Why don't you guys
check the stockyards?

All right.

Yee-haw! Giddyup!

I wanna go home,
I want my mommy.

Oh, shut up.

Ow, you're hurting me!

You're ruining everything!

You people... You
people ruin everything.

It's already ruined.

Shut up! Get over there!

Ow!

Shut up!

Ow! Come on!

Mommy, Mommy.

Shut up!

I want my mommy.

To hell with your mommy!

She is wrecking what we have.

I wanna go home,
I want my mommy!

I am sick of you crying
about your mommy.

Ahh.

You've ruined everything...

just like the others.

Could've been so
perfect, just you and me.

No parents to
tell us what to do.

And this is for your mommy.

I'm gonna fix it
for us, Rebecca.

Gonna fix it real nice.

Nothing, man.

Just keep looking, Jimmy.

Keep looking.

Did you hear something?

Oh, the storm
door off the kitchen

does that when it's windy.

Stay here.

Rebecca?

Mmm! Mmm!

Mmm!

It's okay.

No! No!

It's okay.

Mommy! Mommy!

He's gonna kill my mommy!

C.D.!

Yeah, I'll get a
hold of Cordell.

Oh.

You'll be all right,
you'll be all right.

Walker.

Walker, we found Rebecca.

Norval's on his
way to Kay's house.

I'm near there. On my way.

Sergeant?

Sergeant, are you all right?

Oh. Oh, no.

Now it's your turn, Mommy.

Get away from me, you animal!

What did you do with Rebecca?

What did you do with her? What?

Get up!

You all right?

Yes. Did you find Rebecca?

Yes. She's fine.

Mommy! Mommy!

Oh, Rebecca! Oh!

I don't mind tellin' you,

I really feel a little bit
peculiar about all this.

They're just cards, C.D.

Yeah, but what makes
them do what they do,

when you want them to do?

Nothing. The spirits
guide your hands

as you're shuffling the deck.

Well, I've messed with
the spirits enough this week.

I'm just getting started.
Give me them cards.

Let me tell you, Jimmy.

What?

That ain't natural.

What ain't natural?

Trivette, what are you doing,

learning to tell fortunes?

Yeah. Meredith is teaching me.

Really? Yeah.

What do you wanna know?

Tell me about the
man I'm gonna marry.

All right, the man
you're gonna marry.

King of cups. Ah!

Better than a
corporate vice president.

Uh-huh, better than a lawyer.

Thanks a lot. Mm-hm.

Hmm.

It looks a lot like
Cordell, don't it?

Let me see.

Damn.
