Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 2, Episode 8 - Unfinished Business - full transcript
Walker always seems to be just one step behind a vigilante, who gets the jump on the men Walker's supposed to arrest and takes the law into his own hands.
You think that's crazy?
You never met Glucose.
Glucose?
Nickname. He'd
shoot up anything.
One time he couldn't score,
he got some instant coffee,
boiled it down
dropped it in a spoon.
Blammo.
What happened?
Nothin'. It was decaf.
Man, was he ticked.
Okay, boys,
time to get down to brass tacks.
You can take three
keys up to Amarillo.
Dusty, I want you
to take another five
down to Marty in Houston.
Don't be late.
He might slit your throat.
That's his way of
warning you for next time.
Rubin and I are
going to Fort Worth
with the rest of the stuff.
Meet you boys back
here tomorrow night,
divide up the cash.
By this time tomorrow,
we'll be smokin' Havanas
and drinkin' the finest
Kentucky whiskey ever made.
Rubin, you're gonna
have enough money
to buy any woman you want.
And you thought this
deal wouldn't go down.
Well, you boys
should've listened to him.
What the...?
Who the hell are you?
Walker, Texas Ranger.
Well, you boys made
two big mistakes.
One: smuggling drugs.
And two: doing it in Texas.
Didn't you boys know
the Texas Rangers
would be coming down on you?
Hm?
Oh, yeah?
Where the hell are they?
Well, you're looking at him.
You saying you're here alone?
That's what I'm sayin'.
I want you boys to
listen up real careful.
You have the right
to remain silent.
And you have
the right to stuff it.
Oh!
Shut up, Billy Joe.
Anything you say can and
will be used against you
in a court of law.
Old blind hog
found him an acorn!
Yes, sirree, take a
look at this old gal.
Let me see.
"All my friends say I'm
statuesque and have a..."
"Naughty smile."
What'd I tell you, huh? Huh?
Computer bulletin boards
are the wave of the future.
Absolutely, Jimmy. Absolutely.
"My idea of a good..."
What's the news?
Well, Alex is pushing hard
for the judge not to set bail,
but the chances are, Billy
Joe McArthur's gonna walk
right out of this arraignment.
Well, you done the
best you could, son.
Come on over here and
take a look at this thing.
This thing is amazing.
It'll get your
mind off McArthur.
I got a date on this sucker.
Yep, old Jimmy set it up.
Cordell, do you know
these things are run
on telephone wires?
Yes, sir, telephone wires.
Seems like a lot of trouble
to go through for a date, C.D.
Some of us don't have
the pick of the litter, Cordell.
We have to take other measures.
Oh, this one's looking
pretty good to me.
Yep. She and I are
gonna have lunch,
and she's gonna
wear a red dress.
But the question is, what's
gonna be in that red dress?
Cordell, details. Details.
Ranger Walker.
Oh, hi, Evie. I...
I'm sorry, Walker.
Bail was set, and
McArthur was ready for him.
I tired to get the
judge to make it higher,
but you know the drill.
Does the judge know
what's gonna happen?
Billy Joe's gonna
be out of the state
before he even
gets his robe off.
I used every argument
I could think of.
Your testimony was terrific.
Mwah.
Top of the mornin'
to you, Ranger.
Seems like as long
as I've been doing this,
I'd stop taking it
all so personally.
Just a statement real quick
about how it
feels to be set free.
- I - feel great about it.
Yo, Walker!
Yeah, remind me, will ya?
Now, didn't I tell you
it'd be a whole lot harder
for you to put me away than
it would be for me to get out?
I love this court system.
Next time you'll get a
judge who believes in justice.
You won't get me next time.
Don't count on it.
Seems nowadays
every damn criminal
loves this court system.
Uh, Ranger Walker?
I'm sorry to interrupt you.
Just, uh... A messenger
came by this afternoon,
brought this for you.
I just figured you
oughta get it right away.
He seemed to think it
was pretty important.
Thanks, Evie.
See you in church, Ranger!
I'm just so glad I caught you,
'cause he seemed to think
you should get it right away.
You okay?
Yeah. Check them.
You okay? I think...
I think I'm okay. I...
You're fine.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm okay.
Maybe you should
go to the hospital.
No, I'm okay.
Just to get it looked at.
The medic just looked
at it. I'm okay, Alex.
You're so stubborn.
So have you ever heard
of this Ranger Bodine?
No. Whoever he is,
he's no Texas Ranger.
Whoever he is, he doesn't care
who he kills or
hurts in the process.
Let me ask you somethin'. You think
this guy just had a thing for Billy Joe?
No. He addressed
the envelope to me.
Whatever he
wants, it's personal.
Let's get out of here.
Come on. Bring
it up. Bring it up.
Come on, three more.
Come on.
Come on. Last one. Last one.
Bring it home. Come on.
Hi.
Okay, I've gone back 30 years,
and I found five
Rangers named Bodine.
Now, four of them are dead,
and the other lives in
Plainview with his daughter.
None of them are named Samuel.
I guess that
doesn't surprise me.
Okay, Evie, I want
you to go back
and check all applications
for the Rangers
and the sheriff's department.
Go back a couple of years.
Um, did you want
me to do that now?
I... I mean, tonight?
Is there a problem?
What's the matter, Evie?
Uh... Um, it's just that, um,
Tommy was gonna call me, and...
Tommy? I love it.
Evie's got a boyfriend.
Yeah, I knew you
had it in you, girl.
Oh... He's not my boyfriend.
I mean, he sure likes
me, but I don't know why.
Hey, hey, what
kind of talk is that?
He likes you 'cause
you're a great gal.
You need a little
confidence booster, girl.
Who sent you the rose?
He sent it to me.
Look... Okay.
I'll make a deal with you.
If you'll work on this Bodine
case for two more hours,
if Tommy calls, you
can take off early, okay?
Okay, great.
Oh, oh, oh, almost forgot,
with all the excitement
and everything.
A new warrant came
for you this afternoon.
Well, I'll be. Petey Cevera.
Who's Petey Cevera?
Do you remember a
couple of years ago
there was this
family named Carver,
who was wiped out in what
they thought was a drug war?
Is that the one where the
guys went to the wrong house?
That's the one.
Well, Petey Cevera was
the one that set up the hit,
and then he disappeared
afterwards without a trace.
Until now.
Till now.
Why don't you go around back.
All right. I'll be at the front.
Don't make a
move till I get there.

Hey, where you think you goin'?
Can't you see this badge?
Yeah, we've seen that before.
I gotta admit, it's
a great gimmick,

to the end of the line.

Hey.

Trivette, that's Petey Cevera!
Good job, partner.
Okay, let's go.
Now, I wonder how long he
wants us to stay down here.
Hey, Ranger.
Can we get up now?
Yeah, sure.
Oh!
Did you see where it came from?
There he is.
Something troubling you, Washoe?
There's a shadow
over the moon tonight.
Can you see it?
No.
Look more closely.
A shadow isn't always a shadow.
What is obvious is
sometimes hidden in plain view.
Washoe?
Yes, I see it.
Keep lookin'.
It will disappear as
quickly as it has come.
Hey, this looks like
a good truck to steal.
Yeah. MAN 2: Go on, take it.
He needs the key. - Yeah.
Yeah, I'll tell you...
Yeah, go on, get it! Get it!
What's the matter?
What is it now?
What, no car alarm?
What arrogance, man.
If we can take a look at this,
I'd like to get
some copies of this.
Texas Rangers, Company B.
Thank you.
Hey, good-lookin',
what's cookin'?
Hi, Gerard.
You change your
hair or something?
You look... different.
Is there something that I can
help you with this morning?
Oh, yeah, uh, Mac said I'm
supposed to give you this.
Oh, right, the files.
It's okay, I'll just take it.
Isn't that it?
Yeah.
All right. Well, I'll
see you later, then.
Okay, yeah. Um, sure.
You, uh...
You gonna be at
C.D.'s after work?
Mm... Gee, I don't
know. Um... maybe.
I'll see if... I'll
see if maybe my...
My boyfriend and I'll stop by.
I'll see you, then.
Since the DMV came
up empty on Texas,
I'm gonna try Louisiana
and Oklahoma, all right?
Good idea.
Evie, is there any
word on the, uh...
On the, uh...
Wow.
Holy mackerel.
Is that...?
Y-you look, uh... different.
So, what do you think?
You look absolutely stunning.
Really?
Now... Now, I... I can certainly
go home and change at lunch.
No, don't change a thing.
Believe me.
You mean it?
Mm-hm.
What was I gonna ask you?
Um... Oh, yeah,
about the applications
for the Rangers.
Any word on those?
Not so far, but
I'm working on it.
Okay.
More flowers? Yeah.
Tommy sent 'em to me 'cause
he couldn't make it last night.
Isn't that sweet?
That's 'cause you're
my yellow rose of Texas.
Come here, sugarplum.
Mm!
Uh, Tommy... Tommy
Williams, this is Ranger...
Walker.
Walker. My
pleasure. My pleasure.
Evie's told me a lot about you.
Likewise.
Well, we're just going
to get a bite to eat,
if you care to join us.
Uh, no, thanks.
Maybe some other time.
Have a good time.
Yeah. Thank you.
Well, you got everything?
Yeah. I'm just
gonna grab my bag.
Okay.
Watch the door, there.
I'm hungry.
Dadgum it. She ought
to be here by now.
Who's that?
His computer date.
Wave of the future. Will
you relax? She'll be here.
Maybe.
Cynic.
Hey... there's my date.
See you after lunch.
Am I late? No.
Well, maybe yours
is stuck in traffic, C.D.
Well...
No, no.
That's not it.
You know, I've got a
successful business.
Semi-retired Ranger.
You know, a little status.
I'll bet you that I
have intimidated
that little ol' gal.
I didn't mean to, but I have.
Yeah, I reckon.
Damn it, I want
you to quit ridin' me.
Okay, I won't ride you, C.D.
Ah!
That man must be brain-dead.
I keep hearing Texas
Rangers are pretty tough.
You heard right.
C.D., aren't you gonna help him?
No, there's just three of 'em.
Besides, they need
to learn some manners.
Hey, take it easy!
It's a joke. It's a joke.
What do you mean, a joke?
Your buddy.
He said he wanted
to have a little fun.
He said he wanted to see
how good his partner really was.
Partner? Yeah,
he's a Texas Ranger.
He gave us $500 to
come in here and roust you.
He said you'd
think it was funny.
What's his partner's
name? Ranger Trivette?
Uh... No, Bodine. Ranger Bodine.
Look, he... He said
once you knew about it,
it'd be okay.
Okay, forget about it.
What the hell is this all about?
Bodine.
Okay, everybody.
Excitement's over.
Drinks on the house.
Yeah!
Well, here comes my date.
How do you know?
She's got on a
red dress. Yes, sir.
Are you the man they call C.D.?
Yes, I am.
I thought we'd start
out rather slowly
so we could have a real quality,
meaningful relationship, and...
I... I think maybe we
got our signals crossed.
I'm just here to
deliver this note.
It's for a Ranger Walker.
Oh, right here.
If it's any consolation, though,
I think you're real cute.
Have a drink on the house, huh.
Thanks.
"I wanted to see if you were
as tough as your reputation.
"You look pretty good,
but not good as me.
Ranger Bodine."
Where did you get this?
Some guy handed it
to me on my way in.
Excuse me, young lady.
What'd this guy look like?
He's a tall, good-looking guy.
He had on, uh, blue jeans...
The only Ranger I ever
knew named Bodine,
his first name was Phil.
And hell, he's
been dead 20 years.
You fellows ask me, you're...
You're barking up the wrong tree
if you're looking for a Ranger
or anybody else named Bodine.
That sucker just simply not
gonna give you that much.
You have to get in his boots.
You're gonna have
to think like he thinks
if you're gonna find him.
How did he know about
Billy Joe and Petey Cevera?
Inside information.
Who knew about us going to
pick up Petey Cevera last night?
Us, Evie, the judge,
Mabel Shoops.
I guess we can safely
eliminate the judge.
Let's go see Mabel.
Hi, Mabel.
What does the sign say, Walker?
We only need a couple
minutes of your time.
Well, maybe I haven't
got a couple of minutes.
Who knows at my age?
Besides, I'm on my break.
Look like you're workin' to me.
Just makin' out my
last will and testament.
But don't worry.
I'm not leaving you anything.
I love it.
There's actually a woman
in Texas who doesn't go gaga
every time she sees you.
Wrong, cowboy.
Broke my heart's what he done.
What?
All I wanted to do
was take him to lunch.
Yeah, in Acapulco.
Well, can't blame an ol'
gal for tryin', now, can ya?
Ah, what the hey.
What's up?
You issued a warrant
yesterday on a Petey Cevera?
Indeed, I did.
I hope you showed
him what for too...
I remember that case. It
was all over the papers.
Did anyone else know
about the warrant?
Oh, just that new Ranger.
He was real excited
when I gave him the word.
What's his name?
Well, come to think of it,
he didn't tell me his name.
He's awful cute, though.
You better watch out, Walker.
This one gonna give
you a run for your money.
Bodine?
Did he know about
Billy Joe McArthur?
Oh, yeah, sure. I
told him about that.
When's the first time
he came in, Mabel?
Couple of weeks ago.
Gave me a list of the people
that y'all are on
the lookout for.
Then he asked me to
give him advanced warning
when the warrants
were gonna be issued.
Said he'd check with me.
Well, he's just called
me on the phone,
and he's just come
in that one time.
When was the last
time he came in?
Well, just a couple minutes
ago. You just missed him.
What did he look like?
Oh, big handsome guy.
He had on a silver
belly hat and a red shirt.
And, uh... Hey.
Down the stairs.
Look out!
Oh!
Hey...?
Uh, hey, what did I do?
Let's go find out.
Thank you very much.
I hope it's successful.
This the guy, Mabel?
This ain't him.
I told you the guy was handsome.
Oh. No offense.
I'm sorry about that.
Yeah. You fit a
description of a suspect.
But the other guy was
real handsome, huh?
Yeah.
County clerk.
Yea... Sure. Sure,
he's right here.
It's for you.
It's Ranger Bodine.
Yeah.
Close, Walker,
but no kewpie doll.
What'd he say?
Evie. Evie.
Anything yet on Bodine?
Not so far.
I was here till
10:00 last night,
and I've been
working on it all day.
But I got access to the
reject files from the academy.
These are from the
last couple years.
Nothing?
Okay.
Why don't you check
on anyone who has been arrested
for impersonating
a police officer.
See if there's anything there.
Evie, more flowers.
He sends them to me every day.
When did you meet Tommy?
Um... A couple weeks ago.
Where at?
Right here in the office.
What was he doing here?
I don't know.
He just kind of
showed up at my desk,
and he was real handsome
and attractive and
everything, and...
And, uh, I was
having some trouble
with the hard drive
on my computer,
and he offered to
fix it for me, and...
Why?
Just... care about you. Yeah.
So... How does "Evie
Williams" sound?
Whoa, ha-ha-ha.
Uh... yeah, right.
Not gonna touch that.
Check out this Tommy Williams.
Oh, yeah, a few more sets.
We're sorry.
You have reached a number
that has been disconnected
or is no longer in service.
If you feel you have reached...
Anything?
Zip.
Well, Mabel issued a
warrant on a Travis Sinclair.
Never heard of him.
A real nice guy.
I'm looking forward to this one.
Why don't you keep
working on that thing there,
and I'll go get him. All right.
Travis Sinclair,
I got a warrant for your arrest.
Ease on back down there.
That's it.
Always thought Walker
would come for me.
After all this time
bustin' my chops,
don't tell me he's got
something better to do.
No, the, uh,
department just thought
you were too much for Walker.
Ah... I thought he
was their glory boy.
So if I'm supposed to
be too much for Walker,
what can you do that he can't?
Well, I'll have to show you.
Good morning,
Mrs. Williams. Yes.
This is Ranger James Trivette.
I need to know if you
have a member of your club
with the name Samuel,
Sam or S. Bodine.
Bodine... No, I
don't show anything.
Okay, thank you very
much. You're welcome.
Who the hell are you, Bodine?
Excuse me?
Oh, yes, ma'am, Texas Ranger.
Well, you just let me know
where those bad guys are.
Right there. Now, you
just freeze right there.
Don't you move.
Yeah?
Well, if Walker can't
do it, Bodine can.
Well, hi. Hi.
This is not a bad time, is it?
No. This is a little
bit of a surprise.
I wasn't expecting to see you.
Mm. I just couldn't wait
to see my honey. Oh.
You sure it's okay? Well, sure.
Well, where we going?
Well, you're in for the
surprise of your life.
Oh, I love surprises.
Come on, heh.
Come on there. I can
hardly wait to get there.
Got everything? All right.
We'll have closure on this case.
Mm-hm.
Ranger's station.
Come on. Yes, he is.
May I ask who's calling?
Come on.
No, I did not.
Yeah, I will.
Evie!
What is it? It's
Williams. Williams.
Evie's boyfriend is Bodine.
I just saw them outside.
Let's go.
This guy's really
obsessed with you, man.
Howdy, Walker.
Hey, Bodine.
That's correct, my friend.
You know, I just wanted to say,
speaking to you like
this is a real pleasure.
My little heart's just going,
"A-pitty-pat, pitty-pat."
I got somebody I want
you to give a big hello to.
W-Walker, I'm... Please help me.
I... I... I... I...
I didn't know.
I didn't know. He's crazy.
You gotta help me.
Please!
Let her go, Bodine.
She's hasn't done
anything to you.
Well, maybe I
will, maybe I won't.
You know these women.
They like to run their mouth.
Right now, Walker, I
want you to meet me
at the old factory on
Main Street at midnight.
That's 3922 Main Street.
And one more thing, good buddy:
you better be alone.
He wants me to meet him alone.
That's an obvious trap.
You can't go there alone.
He's got Evie. What
choice do I have?
Hey... partner.
Walker.
Trivette told me what
you're planning to do.
You cannot go after him alone.
I have no choice.
What is it with you
macho Texas Rangers?
Why do you have
to turn everything
into a life-or-death struggle?
Bodine started it, not me.
So what?
It doesn't mean you have
to finish it on his terms.
Bodine is obsessed with
proving that he's better than you,
and is not gonna
play by the rules.
He wants to prove man-to-man
that he's better than me.
And that's his big mistake.
How do you know that for sure?
You're gonna get yourself killed
because of your
stupid, foolish pride.
If I backed down every time
a guy like Bodine
entered my life,
how would I live with myself?
Look... You've
got to understand.
Every time I put on this badge,
I've got to believe I'm
making a difference.
Who I am, what I am, a Ranger,
is part of me.
The best part of me.
Look...
The only part that
makes... sense to me.
Can you understand that?
Yes, I know.
But I just wish that... Shh.
I wish... I wish I...
I knew how to
express myself better,
to tell you how much...
you mean to me,
how special... you are to me,
probably more than
you'll ever know.
Washoe.
It's time.
Don't you worry
yourself none, Alex.
Washoe's in good
hands with the spirits.
I couldn't bear to lose him.
I know.
Trivette.
No. Louise, keep
everybody off the line.
Look more closely.
What is obvious is
sometimes hidden in plain view.
I'm up here, Walker.
Now, honey pie, I bet
you're just glad to see him.
I know he's glad to see you.
Come on.
Drop your weapon.
Now, kick it over there.
As you could
see, I'm still doing
your job for you.
Case closed on Travis Sinclair.
You're not doing my
job for me, Bodine.
I let the court
decide their fate.
Now, that right there is
the root of your problem.
You're too soft.
You built your whole
reputation up on a myth.
That's why I'm here.
To tell the world you're
nothing but a fraud.
I could've been a great Ranger.
They told me I had
aggressive tendencies.
Imagine that.
What the hell
do they expect
with all the garbage
walking the streets out there?
I told them, give me a chance.
Just give me a chance to
prove to them what I can do.
And they wouldn't.
No, sirree.
They sure wouldn't.
And now I'm going to
have to prove it to you.
Get up.
After I kill you, Walker,
I'll be the legend.
Only in your mind.
Come here.
I'll be right there, Walker!
Don't you go anywhere, cupcakes.
Oh, what happened, Ranger?
Huh?
Hey, where'd you go?
It's not over yet.
Huh?
Now it's over.
You won't need this anymore.
Hey, shh, shh.
I was so scared. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
I know, Evie. Shh.

We've rescheduled it.

Oh, you can get me anything,

showed up on my computer.

described yourself.

I'm a liar, Mabel!
I'll swear I am.
I'm the damnedest
liar in the world!
Come on, honey,
let's party! I don't... No.
Somebody help me!
Somebody help me!
I'm no good for anybody!
Somebody!
You never met Glucose.
Glucose?
Nickname. He'd
shoot up anything.
One time he couldn't score,
he got some instant coffee,
boiled it down
dropped it in a spoon.
Blammo.
What happened?
Nothin'. It was decaf.
Man, was he ticked.
Okay, boys,
time to get down to brass tacks.
You can take three
keys up to Amarillo.
Dusty, I want you
to take another five
down to Marty in Houston.
Don't be late.
He might slit your throat.
That's his way of
warning you for next time.
Rubin and I are
going to Fort Worth
with the rest of the stuff.
Meet you boys back
here tomorrow night,
divide up the cash.
By this time tomorrow,
we'll be smokin' Havanas
and drinkin' the finest
Kentucky whiskey ever made.
Rubin, you're gonna
have enough money
to buy any woman you want.
And you thought this
deal wouldn't go down.
Well, you boys
should've listened to him.
What the...?
Who the hell are you?
Walker, Texas Ranger.
Well, you boys made
two big mistakes.
One: smuggling drugs.
And two: doing it in Texas.
Didn't you boys know
the Texas Rangers
would be coming down on you?
Hm?
Oh, yeah?
Where the hell are they?
Well, you're looking at him.
You saying you're here alone?
That's what I'm sayin'.
I want you boys to
listen up real careful.
You have the right
to remain silent.
And you have
the right to stuff it.
Oh!
Shut up, Billy Joe.
Anything you say can and
will be used against you
in a court of law.
Old blind hog
found him an acorn!
Yes, sirree, take a
look at this old gal.
Let me see.
"All my friends say I'm
statuesque and have a..."
"Naughty smile."
What'd I tell you, huh? Huh?
Computer bulletin boards
are the wave of the future.
Absolutely, Jimmy. Absolutely.
"My idea of a good..."
What's the news?
Well, Alex is pushing hard
for the judge not to set bail,
but the chances are, Billy
Joe McArthur's gonna walk
right out of this arraignment.
Well, you done the
best you could, son.
Come on over here and
take a look at this thing.
This thing is amazing.
It'll get your
mind off McArthur.
I got a date on this sucker.
Yep, old Jimmy set it up.
Cordell, do you know
these things are run
on telephone wires?
Yes, sir, telephone wires.
Seems like a lot of trouble
to go through for a date, C.D.
Some of us don't have
the pick of the litter, Cordell.
We have to take other measures.
Oh, this one's looking
pretty good to me.
Yep. She and I are
gonna have lunch,
and she's gonna
wear a red dress.
But the question is, what's
gonna be in that red dress?
Cordell, details. Details.
Ranger Walker.
Oh, hi, Evie. I...
I'm sorry, Walker.
Bail was set, and
McArthur was ready for him.
I tired to get the
judge to make it higher,
but you know the drill.
Does the judge know
what's gonna happen?
Billy Joe's gonna
be out of the state
before he even
gets his robe off.
I used every argument
I could think of.
Your testimony was terrific.
Mwah.
Top of the mornin'
to you, Ranger.
Seems like as long
as I've been doing this,
I'd stop taking it
all so personally.
Just a statement real quick
about how it
feels to be set free.
- I - feel great about it.
Yo, Walker!
Yeah, remind me, will ya?
Now, didn't I tell you
it'd be a whole lot harder
for you to put me away than
it would be for me to get out?
I love this court system.
Next time you'll get a
judge who believes in justice.
You won't get me next time.
Don't count on it.
Seems nowadays
every damn criminal
loves this court system.
Uh, Ranger Walker?
I'm sorry to interrupt you.
Just, uh... A messenger
came by this afternoon,
brought this for you.
I just figured you
oughta get it right away.
He seemed to think it
was pretty important.
Thanks, Evie.
See you in church, Ranger!
I'm just so glad I caught you,
'cause he seemed to think
you should get it right away.
You okay?
Yeah. Check them.
You okay? I think...
I think I'm okay. I...
You're fine.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm okay.
Maybe you should
go to the hospital.
No, I'm okay.
Just to get it looked at.
The medic just looked
at it. I'm okay, Alex.
You're so stubborn.
So have you ever heard
of this Ranger Bodine?
No. Whoever he is,
he's no Texas Ranger.
Whoever he is, he doesn't care
who he kills or
hurts in the process.
Let me ask you somethin'. You think
this guy just had a thing for Billy Joe?
No. He addressed
the envelope to me.
Whatever he
wants, it's personal.
Let's get out of here.
Come on. Bring
it up. Bring it up.
Come on, three more.
Come on.
Come on. Last one. Last one.
Bring it home. Come on.
Hi.
Okay, I've gone back 30 years,
and I found five
Rangers named Bodine.
Now, four of them are dead,
and the other lives in
Plainview with his daughter.
None of them are named Samuel.
I guess that
doesn't surprise me.
Okay, Evie, I want
you to go back
and check all applications
for the Rangers
and the sheriff's department.
Go back a couple of years.
Um, did you want
me to do that now?
I... I mean, tonight?
Is there a problem?
What's the matter, Evie?
Uh... Um, it's just that, um,
Tommy was gonna call me, and...
Tommy? I love it.
Evie's got a boyfriend.
Yeah, I knew you
had it in you, girl.
Oh... He's not my boyfriend.
I mean, he sure likes
me, but I don't know why.
Hey, hey, what
kind of talk is that?
He likes you 'cause
you're a great gal.
You need a little
confidence booster, girl.
Who sent you the rose?
He sent it to me.
Look... Okay.
I'll make a deal with you.
If you'll work on this Bodine
case for two more hours,
if Tommy calls, you
can take off early, okay?
Okay, great.
Oh, oh, oh, almost forgot,
with all the excitement
and everything.
A new warrant came
for you this afternoon.
Well, I'll be. Petey Cevera.
Who's Petey Cevera?
Do you remember a
couple of years ago
there was this
family named Carver,
who was wiped out in what
they thought was a drug war?
Is that the one where the
guys went to the wrong house?
That's the one.
Well, Petey Cevera was
the one that set up the hit,
and then he disappeared
afterwards without a trace.
Until now.
Till now.
Why don't you go around back.
All right. I'll be at the front.
Don't make a
move till I get there.

Now, I wonder how long he
wants us to stay down here.
Hey, Ranger.
Can we get up now?
Yeah, sure.
Oh!
Did you see where it came from?
There he is.
Something troubling you, Washoe?
There's a shadow
over the moon tonight.
Can you see it?
No.
Look more closely.
A shadow isn't always a shadow.
What is obvious is
sometimes hidden in plain view.
Washoe?
Yes, I see it.
Keep lookin'.
It will disappear as
quickly as it has come.
Hey, this looks like
a good truck to steal.
Yeah. MAN 2: Go on, take it.
He needs the key. - Yeah.
Yeah, I'll tell you...
Yeah, go on, get it! Get it!

What, no car alarm?

Thank you.
Hey, good-lookin',
what's cookin'?
Hi, Gerard.
You change your
hair or something?
You look... different.
Is there something that I can
help you with this morning?
Oh, yeah, uh, Mac said I'm
supposed to give you this.
Oh, right, the files.
It's okay, I'll just take it.
Isn't that it?
Yeah.
All right. Well, I'll
see you later, then.
Okay, yeah. Um, sure.
You, uh...
You gonna be at
C.D.'s after work?
Mm... Gee, I don't
know. Um... maybe.
I'll see if... I'll
see if maybe my...
My boyfriend and I'll stop by.
I'll see you, then.
Since the DMV came
up empty on Texas,
I'm gonna try Louisiana
and Oklahoma, all right?
Good idea.
Evie, is there any
word on the, uh...
On the, uh...
Wow.
Holy mackerel.
Is that...?
Y-you look, uh... different.
So, what do you think?
You look absolutely stunning.
Really?
Now... Now, I... I can certainly
go home and change at lunch.
No, don't change a thing.
Believe me.
You mean it?
Mm-hm.
What was I gonna ask you?
Um... Oh, yeah,
about the applications
for the Rangers.
Any word on those?
Not so far, but
I'm working on it.
Okay.
More flowers? Yeah.
Tommy sent 'em to me 'cause
he couldn't make it last night.
Isn't that sweet?
That's 'cause you're
my yellow rose of Texas.
Come here, sugarplum.
Mm!
Uh, Tommy... Tommy
Williams, this is Ranger...
Walker.
Walker. My
pleasure. My pleasure.
Evie's told me a lot about you.
Likewise.
Well, we're just going
to get a bite to eat,
if you care to join us.
Uh, no, thanks.
Maybe some other time.
Have a good time.
Yeah. Thank you.
Well, you got everything?
Yeah. I'm just
gonna grab my bag.
Okay.
Watch the door, there.
I'm hungry.
Dadgum it. She ought
to be here by now.
Who's that?
His computer date.
Wave of the future. Will
you relax? She'll be here.
Maybe.
Cynic.
Hey... there's my date.
See you after lunch.
Am I late? No.
Well, maybe yours
is stuck in traffic, C.D.
Well...
No, no.
That's not it.
You know, I've got a
successful business.
Semi-retired Ranger.
You know, a little status.
I'll bet you that I
have intimidated
that little ol' gal.
I didn't mean to, but I have.
Yeah, I reckon.
Damn it, I want
you to quit ridin' me.
Okay, I won't ride you, C.D.
Ah!
That man must be brain-dead.
I keep hearing Texas
Rangers are pretty tough.
You heard right.
C.D., aren't you gonna help him?
No, there's just three of 'em.
Besides, they need
to learn some manners.
Hey, take it easy!
It's a joke. It's a joke.
What do you mean, a joke?
Your buddy.
He said he wanted
to have a little fun.
He said he wanted to see
how good his partner really was.
Partner? Yeah,
he's a Texas Ranger.
He gave us $500 to
come in here and roust you.
He said you'd
think it was funny.
What's his partner's
name? Ranger Trivette?
Uh... No, Bodine. Ranger Bodine.
Look, he... He said
once you knew about it,
it'd be okay.
Okay, forget about it.
What the hell is this all about?
Bodine.
Okay, everybody.
Excitement's over.
Drinks on the house.
Yeah!
Well, here comes my date.
How do you know?
She's got on a
red dress. Yes, sir.
Are you the man they call C.D.?
Yes, I am.
I thought we'd start
out rather slowly
so we could have a real quality,
meaningful relationship, and...
I... I think maybe we
got our signals crossed.
I'm just here to
deliver this note.
It's for a Ranger Walker.
Oh, right here.
If it's any consolation, though,
I think you're real cute.
Have a drink on the house, huh.
Thanks.
"I wanted to see if you were
as tough as your reputation.
"You look pretty good,
but not good as me.
Ranger Bodine."
Where did you get this?
Some guy handed it
to me on my way in.
Excuse me, young lady.
What'd this guy look like?
He's a tall, good-looking guy.
He had on, uh, blue jeans...
The only Ranger I ever
knew named Bodine,
his first name was Phil.
And hell, he's
been dead 20 years.
You fellows ask me, you're...
You're barking up the wrong tree
if you're looking for a Ranger
or anybody else named Bodine.
That sucker just simply not
gonna give you that much.
You have to get in his boots.
You're gonna have
to think like he thinks
if you're gonna find him.
How did he know about
Billy Joe and Petey Cevera?
Inside information.
Who knew about us going to
pick up Petey Cevera last night?
Us, Evie, the judge,
Mabel Shoops.
I guess we can safely
eliminate the judge.
Let's go see Mabel.
Hi, Mabel.
What does the sign say, Walker?
We only need a couple
minutes of your time.
Well, maybe I haven't
got a couple of minutes.
Who knows at my age?
Besides, I'm on my break.
Look like you're workin' to me.
Just makin' out my
last will and testament.
But don't worry.
I'm not leaving you anything.
I love it.
There's actually a woman
in Texas who doesn't go gaga
every time she sees you.
Wrong, cowboy.
Broke my heart's what he done.
What?
All I wanted to do
was take him to lunch.
Yeah, in Acapulco.
Well, can't blame an ol'
gal for tryin', now, can ya?
Ah, what the hey.
What's up?
You issued a warrant
yesterday on a Petey Cevera?
Indeed, I did.
I hope you showed
him what for too...
I remember that case. It
was all over the papers.
Did anyone else know
about the warrant?
Oh, just that new Ranger.
He was real excited
when I gave him the word.
What's his name?
Well, come to think of it,
he didn't tell me his name.
He's awful cute, though.
You better watch out, Walker.
This one gonna give
you a run for your money.
Bodine?
Did he know about
Billy Joe McArthur?
Oh, yeah, sure. I
told him about that.
When's the first time
he came in, Mabel?
Couple of weeks ago.
Gave me a list of the people
that y'all are on
the lookout for.
Then he asked me to
give him advanced warning
when the warrants
were gonna be issued.
Said he'd check with me.
Well, he's just called
me on the phone,
and he's just come
in that one time.
When was the last
time he came in?
Well, just a couple minutes
ago. You just missed him.
What did he look like?
Oh, big handsome guy.
He had on a silver
belly hat and a red shirt.
And, uh... Hey.
Down the stairs.
Look out!
Oh!
Hey...?
Uh, hey, what did I do?
Let's go find out.
Thank you very much.
I hope it's successful.
This the guy, Mabel?
This ain't him.
I told you the guy was handsome.
Oh. No offense.
I'm sorry about that.
Yeah. You fit a
description of a suspect.
But the other guy was
real handsome, huh?
Yeah.
County clerk.
Yea... Sure. Sure,
he's right here.
It's for you.
It's Ranger Bodine.
Yeah.
Close, Walker,
but no kewpie doll.
What'd he say?
Evie. Evie.
Anything yet on Bodine?
Not so far.
I was here till
10:00 last night,
and I've been
working on it all day.
But I got access to the
reject files from the academy.
These are from the
last couple years.
Nothing?
Okay.
Why don't you check
on anyone who has been arrested
for impersonating
a police officer.
See if there's anything there.
Evie, more flowers.
He sends them to me every day.
When did you meet Tommy?
Um... A couple weeks ago.
Where at?
Right here in the office.
What was he doing here?
I don't know.
He just kind of
showed up at my desk,
and he was real handsome
and attractive and
everything, and...
And, uh, I was
having some trouble
with the hard drive
on my computer,
and he offered to
fix it for me, and...
Why?
Just... care about you. Yeah.
So... How does "Evie
Williams" sound?
Whoa, ha-ha-ha.
Uh... yeah, right.
Not gonna touch that.
Check out this Tommy Williams.
Oh, yeah, a few more sets.
We're sorry.
You have reached a number
that has been disconnected
or is no longer in service.
If you feel you have reached...
Anything?
Zip.
Well, Mabel issued a
warrant on a Travis Sinclair.
Never heard of him.
A real nice guy.
I'm looking forward to this one.
Why don't you keep
working on that thing there,
and I'll go get him. All right.
Travis Sinclair,
I got a warrant for your arrest.
Ease on back down there.
That's it.
Always thought Walker
would come for me.
After all this time
bustin' my chops,
don't tell me he's got
something better to do.
No, the, uh,
department just thought
you were too much for Walker.
Ah... I thought he
was their glory boy.
So if I'm supposed to
be too much for Walker,
what can you do that he can't?
Well, I'll have to show you.
Good morning,
Mrs. Williams. Yes.
This is Ranger James Trivette.
I need to know if you
have a member of your club
with the name Samuel,
Sam or S. Bodine.
Bodine... No, I
don't show anything.
Okay, thank you very
much. You're welcome.
Who the hell are you, Bodine?
Excuse me?
Oh, yes, ma'am, Texas Ranger.
Well, you just let me know
where those bad guys are.
Right there. Now, you
just freeze right there.
Don't you move.
Yeah?
Well, if Walker can't
do it, Bodine can.
Well, hi. Hi.
This is not a bad time, is it?
No. This is a little
bit of a surprise.
I wasn't expecting to see you.
Mm. I just couldn't wait
to see my honey. Oh.
You sure it's okay? Well, sure.
Well, where we going?
Well, you're in for the
surprise of your life.
Oh, I love surprises.
Come on, heh.
Come on there. I can
hardly wait to get there.
Got everything? All right.
We'll have closure on this case.
Mm-hm.
Ranger's station.
Come on. Yes, he is.
May I ask who's calling?
Come on.
No, I did not.
Yeah, I will.
Evie!
What is it? It's
Williams. Williams.
Evie's boyfriend is Bodine.
I just saw them outside.
Let's go.
This guy's really
obsessed with you, man.
Howdy, Walker.
Hey, Bodine.
That's correct, my friend.
You know, I just wanted to say,
speaking to you like
this is a real pleasure.
My little heart's just going,
"A-pitty-pat, pitty-pat."
I got somebody I want
you to give a big hello to.
W-Walker, I'm... Please help me.
I... I... I... I...
I didn't know.
I didn't know. He's crazy.
You gotta help me.
Please!
Let her go, Bodine.
She's hasn't done
anything to you.
Well, maybe I
will, maybe I won't.
You know these women.
They like to run their mouth.
Right now, Walker, I
want you to meet me
at the old factory on
Main Street at midnight.
That's 3922 Main Street.
And one more thing, good buddy:
you better be alone.
He wants me to meet him alone.
That's an obvious trap.
You can't go there alone.
He's got Evie. What
choice do I have?
Hey... partner.
Walker.
Trivette told me what
you're planning to do.
You cannot go after him alone.
I have no choice.
What is it with you
macho Texas Rangers?
Why do you have
to turn everything
into a life-or-death struggle?
Bodine started it, not me.
So what?
It doesn't mean you have
to finish it on his terms.
Bodine is obsessed with
proving that he's better than you,
and is not gonna
play by the rules.
He wants to prove man-to-man
that he's better than me.
And that's his big mistake.
How do you know that for sure?
You're gonna get yourself killed
because of your
stupid, foolish pride.
If I backed down every time
a guy like Bodine
entered my life,
how would I live with myself?
Look... You've
got to understand.
Every time I put on this badge,
I've got to believe I'm
making a difference.
Who I am, what I am, a Ranger,
is part of me.
The best part of me.
Look...
The only part that
makes... sense to me.
Can you understand that?
Yes, I know.
But I just wish that... Shh.
I wish... I wish I...
I knew how to
express myself better,
to tell you how much...
you mean to me,
how special... you are to me,
probably more than
you'll ever know.
Washoe.
It's time.
Don't you worry
yourself none, Alex.
Washoe's in good
hands with the spirits.
I couldn't bear to lose him.
I know.
Trivette.
No. Louise, keep
everybody off the line.
Look more closely.
What is obvious is
sometimes hidden in plain view.
I'm up here, Walker.
Now, honey pie, I bet
you're just glad to see him.
I know he's glad to see you.
Come on.
Drop your weapon.
Now, kick it over there.
As you could
see, I'm still doing
your job for you.
Case closed on Travis Sinclair.
You're not doing my
job for me, Bodine.
I let the court
decide their fate.
Now, that right there is
the root of your problem.
You're too soft.
You built your whole
reputation up on a myth.
That's why I'm here.
To tell the world you're
nothing but a fraud.
I could've been a great Ranger.
They told me I had
aggressive tendencies.
Imagine that.
What the hell
do they expect
with all the garbage
walking the streets out there?
I told them, give me a chance.
Just give me a chance to
prove to them what I can do.
And they wouldn't.
No, sirree.
They sure wouldn't.
And now I'm going to
have to prove it to you.
Get up.
After I kill you, Walker,
I'll be the legend.
Only in your mind.
Come here.
I'll be right there, Walker!
Don't you go anywhere, cupcakes.
Oh, what happened, Ranger?
Huh?
Hey, where'd you go?
It's not over yet.
Huh?
Now it's over.
You won't need this anymore.
Hey, shh, shh.
I was so scared. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
I know, Evie. Shh.

I'm the biggest liar...
Oh, I didn't know you had
that kind of fire in your belly!
I'm a liar, Mabel!
I'll swear I am.
I'm the damnedest
liar in the world!
Come on, honey,
let's party! I don't... No.
Somebody help me!
Somebody help me!
I'm no good for anybody!
Somebody!
