Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 4, Episode 1 - Blown Apart - full transcript

Do you have any idea
where you're going, Trivette?

It's not that much farther.
It's just a few more miles.

You said that a half hour ago.

Trust me. We're almost there.

Almost where, Trivette?

We're out in the
middle of nowhere.

This can't be the right way.

That's what it says on the map.

We're lost, Trivette.

Look, don't you blame me.

These are the
directions they gave.

Just trying to figure
out why Judge Hollister

wants to meet us way out
here in the middle of nowhere.

Well, nowhere would be somewhere

if you hadn't gotten us lost.

I guess you
could've done better.

Yeah, I think so.

Look, just because
you're part Cherokee

doesn't mean that you have
a better sense of direction.

Being Cherokee has
nothing to do with it.

I just have a better sense
of direction than you do.

I don't think so.

Oh, okay.

Which way is west?

West? Yes.

West... is thataway.

That's south. I told
you we were lost.

Somebody's playing
a practical joke on us.

I just know that Judge
Hollister's back in Dallas,

laughing his head off.

Well, maybe not.

That could be his place there.

Yes, I did not get us lost.

Must mean I'm part Cherokee.

Right. Maybe that much.

Well, howdy, boys.

Hello, judge. What
brings you out here?

We got a message that you
wanted to see us right away.

Well, must be some kinda
mix-up. I didn't call you.

No, I'm sure the message
had your name on it, judge.

Maybe somebody's
playing a practical joke.

Hey, you boys wanna go fishing?

Ah, thanks anyway,
judge, but we're on duty.

Well, you're gonna
have to excuse me.

The bass are biting
on Oakridge Lake,

and I'm gonna
get my limit today.

Sorry about the
inconvenience, gentlemen.

Have a good trip back.

Boy, if I find out

who sent that phony message...

We've been driving two hours.

Well, it wouldn't
have been two hours

if you hadn't gotten us lost.

I found the place.

Well, anyone can find anything

if they drive long
enough, Trivette.

All right, if it makes
you feel better,

I'll ask Judge
Hollister for directions.

Maybe he knows a short cut.

Come on, Trivette. I
know how to get back.

Let's go.

Trivette!

Easy, Trivette. I'll
get you to a hospital.

Hey, Walker!

The judge was
just the first one!

I wanted you to see it,

'cause I'm saving
you for the last!

Who's that?

Max Kale.

Dr. Winstrom.

Dr. Ernest Winstrom to ICU...

How did Max Kale escape prison?

They thought he
was a low-risk inmate,

so they put him in a
minimum-security facility.

Then he kills a guard
and five inmates.

What genius would let a
psychopath like Max Kale

out of maximum security?

A psychiatrist.

Ranger Walker,

your partner took some
shrapnel-type wounds.

He's okay, but he'll
be real sore for a while.

Man, will you take it easy?

Hi. Aw, Jimmy, how you feeling?

Oh, man, I got the
"Holy Anvil Chorus"

ringing in my head.

Thirty-seven stitches
on my butt and back.

I feel great.

You're lucky.

A little closer to
that bomb blast,

and you'd be singing
with the angels.

I'd like to sing to Max Kale.

I'll tell you this...
This thing hurts!

The local anesthesia's
wearing off.

You'd better lie still.

Take Ranger
Trivette to his room.

Okay. Take it easy.

Ranger Walker,

there's an urgent
phone call for you.

Walker.

This is Dr. Jane Pine.

I don't know if you remember me.

I testified at Max Kale's trial.

Yeah, I remember you, doctor.

Kale called my radio show.

He's on the line right now.

I... recognized his voice
and contacted your office.

They've started a trace.

Well, keep him on the
line as long as you can.

I've gone to a commercial,
but I can't stall forever.

Uh, commercial's over.

I'll do my best.

Do you have a radio?

Uh, yes, right over here.

Alex.

This is Dr. Jane Pine on KRDW,

and we have a
caller on the line.

A caller? Aw, come on, doc.

You know who I am.

Max Kale.

Max, I'm glad you called.

You sound like you
have a lot on your mind.

My mind?

Funny you should mention that.

You're the one that
said that I was crazy.

It was nothing personal, Max.

I just gave the court
my professional opinion.

Because of you, they
stuck me in an asylum

for the criminally insane.

Give me another chance.

Maybe there's some
way that I could help you.

Yeah. Oh, answer me this.

If I'm so crazy,

how come I had the
smarts to break out, huh?

I always considered you
highly intelligent, Max.

That's why I
want to talk to you.

You already have
talked to me, doc.

Every day on the
radio, and I learned.

Oh, you taught me
all the right buzzwords:

self-responsibility,

getting in touch with
my inner feelings.

Ha, ha! Those fools,
they lapped it up.

And they thought they cured me.

They were just trying
to help you, Max.

Just reaching out to you.

They're fools.

And a fool's mouth
is his destruction.

Proverbs 18:7.

You've been reading the Bible.

Memorized it.

Then you know what it says
about love and forgiveness.

And I know what it says

about retribution
against the unjust.

Judge not that ye be not judged.

Matthew 7:1.

Now, I sit in judgment of you.

Please, Max, we have to talk.

Oh, we will talk.

We will.

We'll be taking a
short station break.

He is so frightening.

He said I was going to be last,

which means there's
others on his hit list,

which could include you.

So I'm putting you
under 24-hour protection.

Walker, I mean, I've got...

Don't even argue, Alex.

Judge Hollister sentenced
him, and now he's dead,

and you're the one
that prosecuted him.

Well, what about Dr. Pine
and Kale's ex-wife?

They're the ones that
testified against him.

I'm putting them
under protection too.

I'm gonna go talk to Dr. Pine.

I read Kale's
psychological review.

It makes him out to
be a model inmate.

Who made the evaluation?

The staff at the
psychiatric facility

where Kale was locked up.

They made a big mistake.

Yeah, well, that mistake
got a judge killed.

They didn't know that
Kale was one of the best.

Best at what?

Lying.

Every psychological
test Kale was given

showed that he was
making dramatic progresses.

It's hard to believe
that he faked all that.

It's even harder to believe

that he found the makings
for a bomb in an asylum.

Yeah, he was a master at that.

I feel sorry for Kale's doctors.

They were taken in by him.

Could've happened to me.

Yeah, but it didn't.

Why not?

Sometimes it just comes
down to a gut feeling.

That's partly what the
asylum staff went by.

Unfortunately, in this
case they were wrong.

Yeah.

We'll make sure you have

round-the-clock
protection, Miss Cahill.

Thanks, that makes
me breathe a lot easier.

Got us a Ranger.

Yeah. He's a cute one.
- Whoo. Ha, ha!

Where's Angela?

Angela ain't receiving today.

That's right. Angela
ain't receiving today?

You heard me.

Now, you're gonna receive

a lot more than you
bargained for, bud,

if you don't get outta my way.

Oh, yeah?

Woo!

You still have all
the moves, Walker.

Hi, Angela. It's
been a long time.

Is that Lori?

Yeah. She's done a lot of
growing up in three years,

hasn't she? Yeah, she sure has.

We gotta talk.

Come on in.

Go out and play, sweetie.

You guys know the drill.

- All right.
- All right.

Give me a hand up, will you?

Yeah, get up.

Beer?

No, thanks.

Well, I guess this
isn't a social call.

I wanna know why you
refused protective custody.

I've got those junkyard
dogs out front to protect me.

That is if you don't
bust them for assault.

I'm not gonna bust them,

but they don't
impress me very much.

Not many men do.

Angela,

Max killed the judge
who prosecuted him.

Now, you turned him in.

He's gonna come
after you too, Angela.

Seems I spent most
of my married life

in fear of Max.

Used to beat me black and blue.

The day I testified against him

is the day I vowed never
to hide from Max again.

What about Lori?

Max won't hurt Lori.

There's nothing I can
say to change your mind?

Okay.

Walker,

you did me a big favor
when you arrested Max.

Probably wouldn't be
alive today if you hadn't.

You just be careful.

Yeah.

All right, I'm not
gonna bust you guys,

but you'd better protect her.

Now get out of the truck.

Move. MAN 2: Get out, come on.

Put up the tailgate.

Walker.

Why do you wanna kill my dad?

Who said I wanna
kill your dad, Lori?

He wrote me a
letter and told me.

I don't want your father dead.

But he wants to hurt some
innocent people, Lori...

including your mother.

He'd never hurt my mom. Never.

He loves her. You're lying.

Walker.

What are you doing at Angela's?

She's not next. Alex is.

You touch Alex,

I'll tear your heart out, Kale.

Better hurry.

She's home waiting for you.

The bomb is rigged to go off

two minutes after
the door is opened,

and it'll go off
if you touch it.

You gotta get outta here.

Be right back.

Walker.

Walker, it's 30 seconds.

You've gotta get outta here.

There's three wires, Alex.

If I cut the wrong one...

I'm sorry.

I was just so scared.

I know, I know.

I was a little tense myself.

Now Max Kale's back,

apparently seeking revenge

on the people who
helped bring him to justice.

The question is: Who
will become his next victim

before authorities stop
him once and for all?

How you feeling?

I hardly slept
at all last night.

I keep seeing
Kale looking at me.

Eyes of a madman.

Well, this time
we're gonna hide you

where no one can find you.

I'm worried about you too.

I mean, something
about Kale tells me

he's not afraid of dying.

Cordell, I want you to see this.

This fella's got a record
as long as a snake's neck.

You know what he did
when he was 12 years old?

He tried to blow up one
of the neighbor's homes.

What set him off?

Well, the neighbor complained

that he was riding his
bicycle through the flowerbeds,

tearing 'em up.

Every neighbor out there

at one time or another's
complained about him.

Shoulda thrown that
sucker in jail then and there

and saved a lot of lives.

What are you doing here?

You're supposed
to be in the hospital.

I heard about
you. You all right?

I'm fine, thank you.

Jimmy, I know you're hurt,

just bless your heart.
Just take it easy.

I couldn't lie in bed

while... watching
soaps and game shows

when somebody's trying
to kill my friends. Aah-aah.

Uh, that's me.

Walker.

You surprise me, Walker.

Didn't know you
could disarm a bomb.

Kale.

I'm the one that
brought you in, Kale.

Why don't you come after me?

Yea, though I walk
through the valley

of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil.

Psalms 23. Recognize it?

Take me on, Kale,
unless you're afraid.

Ah, spoken like a
true Texas Ranger.

Your time will come, Walker.

Your time will come.

We got it?

Park Street and McNelly Avenue.

Hey, Walker,

the judge was
just the first one.

They're fools.

I'm saving you...

for the last.

Now... I sit in judgment of you.

You, you, you, you...

Hello, Walker.

Wanna go for a little ride?

Look to your left.

Walker.

Here's the drill.

Five minutes, a bomb goes off.

Dead bodies everywhere.

Yeah, you can save them.

If you got the
guts to follow me.

Where's the bomb, Kale?

Real close, partner.

Real close.

This is Dr. Jane Pine on KRDW,

and we have a
caller on the line.

Hi, doc. Your pal Max,

and you know what day it is?

Judgment Day, that's right.

Doc, today's the day
you pay for your sins,

and I promise you,
it's gonna be up close...

and personal.

Yeah? KALE: That
was a small blast.

Get ready for the big one.

Get away from that
building! There's a bomb!

Go. Get away. There's a bomb!

Walker.

Walker, I got your
message about Dr. Pine

and that policewoman
who was guarding her.

My God, another
two people killed.

When's this maniac gonna stop?

Not until he feels
he's had his revenge.

He'll go after Angela next.

I've gotta stop him.

Lori, where's your
mother? She isn't here.

She went shopping.
Where'd she go?

She left for Butler Junction
about 10 minutes ago.

Won't be back for
a couple of hours.

What car she go in?

Dean Watkins' white pickup.

Why?

You watch her. Mm-hm.

Get out. There's a bomb.

Hey, man.

You about killed us.

Get down!

Get down now. - Get down.

Get down, get down.

Bye.

Amen.

I checked the back...

Walker, you're never
gonna catch Max.

He won't quit until he
kills everyone he hates.

You, me and God knows who else.

Angela, Max thinks you're dead.

I'm gonna put you
in a safe house

until we catch him.
What about Lori?

We'll have her picked
up and brought to you.

Okay? Okay.

Walker, I haven't
prayed in years,

but I'll say one for you.

Be careful.

Walker. TRIVETTE: Yo.

All right, forensics just
finished tracking that dynamite

Kale used in the
bomb at Alex's house.

It was sold to a
demolition firm in Dallas,

which recently reported
several cases stolen.

It's an inside job, man.

What makes you think so?

I ran a check on the
demo firm's employees.

It seems one of them
left some key information

off his job application, like...

he served hard
time with Max Kale.

Name's Gene Ardell and he
works for Clarkson Construction.

Okay, thanks, Trivette.

All right, bring back
the wood. Right.

Gene Ardell, where is he?

Over there.

Get it out. Move
it out. That's it.

Gene Ardell?

Well, well.

The law.

A hundred and ten
pounds of dynamite

disappeared from this site.

Know anything about it?

Nope.

But I got a feeling
you gonna pin it on me.

Well, your feeling's right.

Where's Max Kale? Go to hell.

You're a two-time loser, Ardell.

The dynamite you gave
Kale killed a federal judge.

You're going down with him
unless you tell me where he is.

What part of the
building is he in?

Second floor, northeast corner.

Go on in.

I know Max will
be glad to see you.

Yeah?

If he's in there, you're dead.

Max ain't afraid of dying.
He'll take you with him.

Go on.

Arrest him.

Careful.

Walker, that you?

Come on, Walker, talk to me.

Oh, well, if you're
not gonna talk to me,

might as well say goodbye.

Jeez, I thought
you bought it, man.

Where's the book?

What book?

I found this book up there.

It's in some kind of code.

Think you can decipher it?

Hi, sugar. Dad?

That's right, honey.

It's me.

Come here.

Come here. Come on.

Come on... Oh, ho-ho, ho-ho.

Ho-ho-ho. Oh...

I can't believe it's you.
I've missed you sooo much.

I know, I know, I
know, I know, I know.

And you know what?

We're gonna go on a little trip.

Where we going?

To a land of milk and honey,

and everyone there
treats you like...

royalty.

Oh, sounds like heaven to me.

It is, honey.

That's where we're going.

Can Mom come along?

No.

You see, Mom's been bad.

What do you mean?
Mom hasn't been bad.

I'm afraid she has.

We aren't gonna see her anymore.

Why? Where is she?

Honey,

your mom is dead.

What? Well, s-she
turned against me

and sh... And
sh... And she lied.

And you know what
the Bible said about that:

Thou shalt not
bear false witness.

It was my duty. I
had to punish her.

You killed my mom. I hate you.

No, shut up.

Shut up. Shut up. Let
go of me. I said, let go.

You're turning against me too.

Quit your cryin'.

Come on. You're comin' with me.

I got you.

I got you.

I cracked the code, you guys.

All right, he used his
notebook as a diary.

See...

These are all the
people he wanted to kill.

Judge Hollister, Alex Cahill,

Dr. Jane Pine, Angela Kale,

and then it gets weird.

Why'd he write the
names out like that?

And who's Rodney?

I don't know.

Do you have a first
name or initials?

No, nothing. Do you
remember any...?

Doesn't ring a bell with me.

Now, who's Rodney Lane?

Well, that's the street
the guy was raised on.

Sergeant Walker, I
went to pick up Lori Kale,

found a man dead
and she's disappeared.

Trivette, pick up
Angela. Let's go.

Get everyone out.

There's a bomb in the
neighborhood. Everyone out.

We're evacuating the
neighborhood. Move quickly.

Anybody here?

Get out of the house.

There's a bomb. Hurry.

Come on.

Don't be foolin'.

Guys, move out. There's a bomb!

Come on!

Texas Rangers. There's
a bomb. Everyone out.

Is there a bomb? - Hurry.

Let's go.

There's an emergency. Run
to the end of the block. Go.

What's going on?

What are you looking at?

I will punish the
world for their evil...

and the wicked
for their iniquity.

Open up!

Block's gonna
blow, get out of here.

Come on.

Let's just go. Come on, move.

And I will cause the arrogance

of the proud...

to cease.

And I will lay low
the haughtiness...

of the terrible.

Isaiah...

chapter 13...

verse 11.

Okay, don't worry, Lori.

I'll get you out of here.

Come on, honey. Let's go.

Please, don't hurt me.

You did exactly what I
wanted you to do, Walker.

I'm the one you're after, Kale.

Let your daughter go.

She sinned.

She has to pay.

But she's just a little girl.
There's no reason to hurt her.

No, Walker, we're
all gonna die together.

No.

Run. Run, Lori!

Walker.

Everyone all right?

That's just too
damn close, Cordell.

Thank God you're safe.

Ranger Walker.

Are you all right?

He killed my mom.

Turn around, honey.

Mom.

Oh, Lori, honey, thank
God you're all right.

Where's Kale?

Blew himself up.

That's poetic justice.

Yeah, look at me.

Oh, baby.
