Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 4, Episode 16 - The Juggernaut - full transcript

A woman asks Alex to help her escape from her abusive husband. Alex's woman support group goes on a retreat for a few days, and have the women help each other. The husband finds out where they are, placing everyone in danger.

Woo-hoo! All right!

Oh, Kyle Petty ain't so hot.

He can't drive for spit.

His old man wasn't much
better. Come on, come on, Brad.

You know, Richard
Petty won more races...

I ain't talkin' about
winnin', Petey Boy.

Checkered flag don't
always go to the best driver.

You hear what I'm saying?

I hear you, but... But nothing.

You take away all that big
money and fat cat sponsors

and put 'em against
me in my own car.

I'd wipe 'em off
the track every time.

Ain't that right, babycakes?

How you doin', ladies?

Hi.

Hey!

Move along, buckaroo.

Excuse me?

That's my woman
you're talkin' to.

Just sayin' hello, friend.

No harm in that. Brad.

I'm gonna say this once.

Stay the hell away
from my woman.

Brad, he just...
He just... Shut up.

You hear what I'm sayin'?

Loud and clear.

Get up now!

Fight! You son of a...!

Open the door, Connie!

Please, you've got to hurry.

Oh, please.

What's the address, ma'am?

224 Comanche Court.

No, Comanche Court.

It's... It...

Open the door, Connie.

No, two, two.

224 Comanche Court.

Open the damn door now!

It's Windy Rivers Trailer
Park. The police will know it.

You think you can keep
me out of my own house?

Please, you gotta hurry.

You bitch!

This is it!

Can you describe the man?

Yes, he's my
husband, Brad Furnell.

The police will know him.

Oh, God, help! Where
is he now ma'am?

Oh, geez, God, he's in!

He's in. No.

Oh, dear God, he's in.

Oh, dear God, he's in.

Okay... Ma'am?

Ma'am, don't hang up.

Oh, dear God.

Ma'am, are you there?

What the hell are
you doin', Connie?

Ma'am?

Just remain calm, okay?
Hang up the phone now.

You're just gonna
get it worse now.

You know that, don't you?

Are you still there?

You're just gonna
get it worse now.

Just stay away, Ah!

As far away from him as you...

Hello, ma'am?

Ma'am, the unit
is on its way now.

Hello, ma'am?

Ma'am, are you there?

This is between me and my wife.

Oh, my God, Brad Furnell.

Who's he?

His wife came to my
support group last week.

Your battered women's group?

She could be our poster child.

Are you all right?
Yeah, it's the wrist.

I'll be fine.

Can you tell me, did
Brad Furnell's wife

come in with you?

She's at the hospital.

Furnell did a real job on
her before we got there.

Tell Walker I went
to the hospital.

All right. You take care.

Yeah, this is Jimmy,
give me a paramedic

in the east stairwell
of the ground floor.

Come on, ranger,
you're breakin' my arm.

You're breakin' my heart.

Oh, you guys are all the
same, aren't you, huh?

Big stuff 'cause
you're wearin' a badge.

Let me at you without it.

Just you and me,
without the cuffs.

That what you want?

Oh, yeah.

That's what I want.

Take 'em off.

Now what?

That's what I thought.

What did I tell you, Connie?

But he promised.

What did I tell you?

That he'd do it again. I just...

And again, and again, and again.

Until one day, he kills you.

Now, I can't make
the decision for you,

but you are not alone.

I am gonna be right
by your side in court.

Now, what are you gonna do?

Your Honor, we request the
defendant be held without bail

because he is a repeat offender

and has a long
history of violence.

This is a domestic
dispute, Your Honor.

It's not a capital case.

And we are anxious that
it doesn't become one.

I object, that was uncalled for.

Settle down, counsel.

What we have here is a situation
between a husband and his wife.

Mrs. Furnell has
been in my courtroom

on three prior occasions

and she has dropped
the charges every time.

That is why bail
should be denied.

So you say.

Your Honor,

Mrs. Furnell has lived
in fear for too long.

She withdrew the charges
before because of that fear.

Or maybe she's doing
what more people should do

when going to court.

Maybe she was trying to work
things out with her husband.

That's ridiculous.

Miss Cahill.

You are very close to
being cited for contempt.

How do I know Mrs. Furnell
will not drop charges again?

I assure you it won't
happen this time.

Miss Cahill, I have murder,

rape, and robbery

coming in here this afternoon.

I will not have my time wasted

with a woman who will
not resolve her problems.

I'll be by to pick you up at 8.

If you need anything in
the meantime, you call me.

Okay, I promise.

Tomorrow.

Hey.

How'd it go in there?

The judge is holding him
for assaulting a police officer,

but absolutely refuses to
grant Connie a restraining order.

Judge Fowler?

Of all people, I thought
she would understand.

Walker, I need
to ask you a favor.

Yeah, sure.

Connie's not doing well.

I mean, she's
really on the edge.

So I thought I'd take her
and a few of my women

up to the lake tomorrow.

She really could
use the support.

I was wondering if you and
Jimmy would come along

and teach your
self-defense class again.

I'd like to, Alex, but...

I've got that karate
tournament this weekend

with my Kick Drugs kids.

That's right, I forgot.

Jimmy?

Oh, yeah, I'd be glad to. Great.

Oh, in fact, why don't
you take C.D. along

and he can teach
you how to fish.

I know how to fish.

I'm talking about
in a lake, Trivette,

not a singles bar.

Oh.

Welcome to Camp
Cahill. File out, ladies.

You know where you're goin'.

Right over here.

Connie.

I just want you to know that

the one thing we all
have in common here

is that we can
talk to each other

and give each other support.

I'm sure in a few days

you'll find that you love this
place just as much as they do.

Come on, I'll show you around.

I'll take that.

Yeah, we gotta...
Gotta finish unpackin'.

What have you been
doin' all this time?

What's that?

That's a token warbler.

It warbles through the water,

makes a slight sound,

fish cannot resist it.

I'm thinking about having
the damn thing patented.

That doesn't look like food.

Nothing in nature
looks like that.

Why would a fish eat that?

You don't have an
imagination, do you, Jimmy?

Oh.

If Cordell were here,

he could appreciate
what a fine lure this is.

Jimmy, you're just a city boy.

Now, go ahead and
finish unpackin' this.

We'll get down
and go add a hook.

It was a picture-book wedding,

about six years ago.

And at first, he was flattered I
made more money than he did.

Called me the queen.

Well, he treated me like
one for about six months.

Then he got bitter.

Started feeling small,

insecure, loud.

He started throwing insults,

then he started throwing
punches, and I walked.

I sure as hell did.

Now I live alone, but...

But I'm walkin' tall.

Gail, how long did you put up
with the abuse before you left?

He started swingin'
and I started walkin'.

Now, you know that's not true.

Girl, why are you
tryin' to bring me down?

It doesn't help any
of us to rewrite history.

You know the rules.

Two years, all right?

Two years I put up
with that son of a bitch.

You satisfied?

Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Parker. I
didn't mean to disturb you.

Oh, no. No, that's
all right. Come on in.

I'd like to have some company.

And call me C.D., will
you? Everybody else does.

Okay, C.D. Where's Jimmy?

I really don't know.

I think he went to town
to get some fishin' lures

so he can beat me tomorrow.

Well, uh...

What do you think of
this little place Alex found?

It's nice.

Seems kind of strange
though, sleepin' in a cabin.

I mean, Brad always says,

"It isn't really camping
unless you use a tent."

Well, I can
understand that logic.

But what you ladies
are doin' out here

is much more
important than campin'.

I guess so.

Oh, I know so.

I've seen some
miracles happen out here.

You have?

Sure as I'm sittin' here.

My favorite story happened
about two years ago.

A little old gal from Waxahachie
came over here on her own.

She heard about it through
her high school counselor.

She was in high school?

Not anymore.

The guy she was goin' with

wanted her to drop out at 16.

He thought she'd be more
valuable workin' at night, uh...

If you know what I mean.

I don't think I wanna
hear any more of this story.

No, I don't blame you,

but you should hear
this happy ending.

She really put it together
with Alex and those ladies.

She found herself.

She left that old boy
and went back to school.

She told me she wanted
to be a counselor someday

and have a women's
group of her own.

Well, that's a real
nice story, C.D.

Thank you for telling me.

Would you give me
somethin', Connie?

Sure. What?

A happy ending to this
story so I can tell it someday.

Free at last. Ha, ha!

Just had to sign my first-born
over to the bondsman.

So where to?

To find my damn wife.

I make bail, call home,
and she's not there?

Lois from next door answered.

Said she left with a suitcase
and that damn bitch Cahill.

She takes them out someplace in
the boonies and brainwashes 'em.

I'd like to welcome you all

to the third annual

Kick Drugs Out of America
Karate Tournament.

These kids have trained
hard for today's competition.

So let it begin.

All right, Tyron, up. Pizan, up.

Face each other. Raise hands.

Attention!

Face here, bow.

Face each other, bow.

Keep your control.
Do you understand?

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

This is Pizan. Who's this?

Pizan, sir!

This is Tyron. Who's this?

Tyron, sir!

Cheer for who you
think's gonna win.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir!

Ready, free spar!

Not too high.

Hey!

Raise hands.

Good. Ready, fight.

Face here, bow.

Face each other, bow.

Shake hands.

Here's Pizan, let's
give him a hand.

Darrell, Arthur, up.

Quickly.

This is Darrell. Who's this?

Darrell, sir!

This is Arthur. Who's this?

Arthur, sir!

Free spar.

Okay!

Step aside. Raise hands.

Winner. Let's give him a hand.

Hey!

Good job.

Come on, be strong.
Ready, free spar.

This is Jackie. Who's this?

Jackie, sir!

This is Jessica. Who's this?

Jessica, sir!

Cheer for who you
think's gonna win.

Watch your control,
get close. Free spar.

Hey! I don't hear any cheering.

Yeah!

Yeah.

Let's go to the cabin.

Better get the fish there now.

Carryin' the fish is part
of the fisherman's code.

I caught more than you
did. You have to carry 'em.

The code. Code?

Code. Let's go.

But how long had
it been going on?

Huh.

I put up with the
beatings for 10 years.

I was sure it was my
fault that he got so angry.

He said it was.

And somehow, I
believed I deserved it.

He was my husband.
Why would he lie to me?

You ever wonder how

some guys get through life

when their self-worth comes
from the pain they inflict on women?

I used to know guys
like that back in Baltimore

and when I was playing
ball too, you know?

Yeah, I know a
lot o' men that way.

Only time they
ever feel like a man

is when they're beating
the hell out of a woman.

It got so I hated
Saturday nights.

That's when he would
hurt me the worst.

I don't totally
recall the last one.

I just remember coming
to, like out of a dream.

The bastard was
passed out on the bed

and I had poured
gasoline all around him.

I was standing over
him with the lit match,

but as I stood there sobbing

it came to me.

My life was worth too much

to sacrifice for his.

When we get back,
I'll get the pliers

and show you how
to clean these things.

That's a part of the code too.

Shouldn't take too long.

Code my butt.

I'm not cleanin' these things.

Aw, yeah, man, yeah.

Way to go.

You kids did a great job today.

I'm proud of each
and every one of you.

Who are we?

We are winners, sir!

That's right.

Hi, Dave. How's the hand?

It's been better.

You know, I can
deal with pain, Walker.

One thing I can't deal with
is havin' dirtbags like Furnell

back out on the street
before the ink dries.

Yeah, Alex said
he may make bail.

Yeah.

Anyway, I thought
you might like to know,

he said he was gonna
get his woman back,

even if he had to walk
over Miss Cahill to do it.

I'd better have a
heart-to-heart talk with this guy.

I thought it would be a great
place to have my support group.

Mm-hm.

Could you please
pass the mustard?

My husband said that.

Excuse me?

Then he beat the crap out o' me.

Wanna know why?

Sure. Why?

'Cause the jar was empty.

He had a million reasons.

He liked his bourbon.

I was pretty fond of it myself.

Then the kids started suffering.

And that was enough.

Bon appétit.

Excuse me, have
you seen Brad Furnell?

Uh-uh.

How about Pete Yarnell?

Over there at the bar.

Thanks.

I'm looking for Brad Furnell.

That a fact?

What makes you think
I know where he's at?

Because you're the
one that bailed him out.

Doesn't mean I keep
tabs on everything he does.

It does mean that
you're an accessory

for anything that he does do.

Oo.

That a fact?

That's a fact.

Hey, boys, come here.

He says I'm goin' to
jail if I don't burn Brad.

So he's going to jail?
I don't think so, cop.

Now, I'm gonna ask you again.

Where's Brad Furnell?

I'm gonna head up and
get that stuff on, all right?

You got a lot o' company

when it comes to makin' excuses

for staying with an abusive man.

I kept thinking the fool
would change, but he didn't.

None of them ever do.

Ever.

They sure as hell don't.

We all make excuses.

It's called being human.

We're women.

We're nurturers,
we're caretakers.

We think we can fix anything.

So we go back.

But in this situation,

that is a pattern
that has to change.

I feel so dumb.

No, no, no.

Just talk to us.

I don't... I don't think I can.

I mean, I just...

I just don't think
I'm ready... yet...

to talk about it. I mean...

It's all right. Take your time.

Take all the time you need.

Thank you.

It's just it's...

It's hard, you know?

I know it.

We all know.

But eventually,
we have to let it out.

Yeah.

Yeah.

What happened to you, Alex?

Well, it didn't happen
to me personally.

I had a roommate in college,

Kelly.

We were like sisters.

We did everything together,

we shared everything,

we talked about everything.

What happened?

She started to date
a man off campus,

and she started to change.

With little things at first.

I really couldn't put
my finger on it, but...

I knew something was wrong.

I mean, I knew it.

But as hard as I tried

I couldn't break through.

She stopped letting me in.

He killed her

in a fit of uncontrolled rage.

And I think about
her all the time.

And I really, really miss her.

And there's really not
much more to it, ladies.

Cut these things
in fillets and...

That one's mine.

Oh, here he is.

Oh, my God.

That's right.

Ranger Trivette has
graciously agreed

to give us some
pointers on self-defense.

Good luck.

All right.

Ladies, I understand from Alex

you've learned some
techniques in the past.

This is a good
time to try 'em out.

I don't want anybody
hurt, you or me, all right?

So I need you to follow the
instructions you've been given.

Okay? Now, first...

Jimmy, there was
a time on this planet

when a woman could walk damn
near anywhere she wanted to

and be safe.

Right.

A man would be her protector.

That's not the case now.

You have to make a plan in
case there is a confrontation.

Thank you, Big Dog.

You're welcome.

Thank you, Big Dog.

All right. Now, the best
defense is to be aware.

You gotta practice that too.

You gotta be aware of
your surroundings at all time

until it becomes
a natural instinct.

Totally tuned in to where
you are and who you're with.

Even if it's your best friend

or your husband.

All right? Molly, let her rip.

Okay, that's a good
start, that's a good start.

Okay, we're gonna
build on that, right, ladies?

All right.

Yeah. Good.

All right, don't pull it.

Put your body weight into it.

Dana. Wait, wait, Dana.

Come on.

Hit him.

Hit me again.

Good.

That's a good start. All right.

Good.

Yeah.

Right-handed. Good.

All right, see how she moved me?

Thattagal, thattagal.

Let's get some momentum.

Let's put some body into it.

All right. Huh!

Good.

Hey.

Go on, girl.

Combinations.

Yeah.

Yeah. All right.

Good.

Hyah! Hyah!

That's it.

Hyah!

Hyah!

All right.

Kiai.

Ow.

Yeah. Nice.

Hyah-hyah!

Good girl.

Try that again.

You've got to feel it.

Kiai!

Hey, Gail, get up here.

Come on, Gail.

I just...

I just can't bring myself
to do this to a good man.

Oh, Gail.

Think of your ex.

All right.

Jimmy, when I was
a young Ranger,

I wouldn't have had
to use the padding.

Hey, pick me up.

Big Dog?

That was really good.

Nice shot.

Connie.

I... I just wanna talk to you.

What are you doing here?

You're not welcome.

She's right.

Leave her alone.

I... I just wanna
talk to my wife.

Please, honey.

You don't have to
talk to him, Connie.

Why don't you go on?

You really don't have
a right to be here.

Oh, for cryin' out loud, baby,

are you gonna throw
away five good years

just 'cause I
screwed up a little?

Come on, baby, I'm beggin' you.

Just talk to me
for five minutes.

Help me take this off.

Connie, don't do it.

It's okay.

He's not gonna do
anything with all of you here.

Brad, what do you want?

Well, it's... It's kind
of embarrassing

talking here in front
of all these people.

You hear what I'm sayin'?

Can I just, um...?

Can we talk for a couple of
minutes down by the lake?

Come on.

Where to, Walker?

South shore.

Stewart Lake.

Honey, it's all a mistake.

You know I love
you, don't you, ba...?

Ah... Look, I-I-I'll never
do it again, I swear.

Hey, baby.

Give me a little
kiss. Come on, baby.

Please, don't.

I'm just sayin' I'm
sorry, that's all.

Is that... Is that some crime?

If it is, then...
Pfft! I'm guilty.

Leave me alone.

Let me go.

Baby, baby, listen, it's just...

It's just a
misunderstandin' is all.

Come on, you know how you are.

You go against me sometimes,
you don't listen to me.

You know I don't like that.

But that's... That's history.

And that's the last word
I'm gonna say on the subject.

Come on.

Come on, baby.

Come on, I'm takin' you home.

I want out of this marriage.

I want a divorce.

No, look, I-I'll tell you
what you're gonna do.

You're gonna do
what I tell you to do.

Let me go.

You're gonna show some damn
manners while you're at it too.

Let me go!

Don't you know

that I could just snap your neck

and think nothin' of it?

And, by God, I'm gonna do it too

if you don't straighten
up and fly right.

All right, come on,
back off, Furnell.

Hey, look... You're right. I...

I blew it.

I was out of line.

Ugh! Don't!

Don't hit him anymore, please!

Connie! Don't hit him!

It's okay. Okay.

Come here. Come on.

Come on.

It's all right.

You did good. You did good.

Go, go! Get down, get down!

Connie, get to the
cabin. Come on.

Come on.

He's crazy!

He's crazy! He's gonna kill us!

Oh, my God!

He's gonna kill us!

We're coming!

Alex, get out of the way!

You girls, get lost.

I'll get my scattergun.
I'll take care o' you.

No!

Alex!

Get 'em into the woods!

Come on!

Come on!

I can't run any faster.

You've got to!

Come on.

He killed them. I
know he's killed them.

I know Brad, he's killed
them. We don't know that.

Keep moving.

You guys all right?

Yeah, we're all right.

Where's Alex?

I sent them into the
woods, back over there.

Furnell... Furnell
took off after 'em.

Jim, get 'em to a hospital!

Come on, Big Dog. You
think you can get up?

Come on, Jim,
help me get him up.

Come on, Big Dog.

We're going to
the helicopter now.

Come on. Come on.
Somebody stop that lunatic?

Yeah, we got him.

No. I'm taking you
all down with me.

No place we haven't been.

Go. Go!

Come on. Keep going.

Oh!

Damn it. Ow!

You all right? My ankle.

My ankle, I think I
sprained it. Can you walk?

I'll try.

Got her?

Push. You can do it.

Come on, Connie, it's okay.
You're gonna be all right.

Go, go. Come on.

Go.

That's okay.

You guys are doing
great. Come on.

Connie!

I know you're out here!

You should've listened
to reason, Connie!

Alex, I can't go any farther.

You should've stayed
home where you belong!

Home where you're safe

from what's gonna
happen to you now!

He's gonna kill us. She's right.

Alex, he's gonna kill us all.

All of you, now, listen to me.

We spent all this
time talking about

self-worth and personal freedom.

It's something
you resented losing

and worked so hard to get back.

Now, don't fall apart on me now.

Can I count on you?

You can count on me, Alex.

Me too. Me too.

Connie?

Come on.

Don't pay any attention.
- Just ignore him.

I told you what would happen
if you ever went against me!

And believe me,
that's one promise

I intend to keep.

Alex, Alex, stop. I
can't go on. Please.

My ankle is on fire.

We have to keep moving.

Yes, but it is me
that Brad wants.

I mean, maybe if I go with him,

he'll leave the
rest of you alone.

That's never gonna
happen, and you know it.

Yes, but what is?

I mean, we don't even
know where we are.

I mean, for all we
know, we're running

right towards him,
not away from him.

The sun is setting
over there. That is west.

The highway is north.

Oh, God, I could
use a drink right now.

Well, if we make
it out of this alive,

I'm buying.

Can I have that in writing?

Can you hear me, Connie?

I know you can!

It's only a matter of
time before I find you!

Then I'm gonna take care
of you and your bitch friends!

And don't think I haven't
forgot about you, Cahill!

Everything was fine in my life

until you filled Connie's head
with your women's lib crap!

How about that, Connie?

I'll bet you don't feel
like puttin' on airs now!

And how about you other women?

You feel like puttin' on airs?

I bet you don't feel so
smug and independent now!

Leave me. I can't go on.

Please just go.

Just go, hurry.

Connie?

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

God ain't gonna
help you now, darlin'.

Nobody's gonna help you now.

Brad,

don't hurt me p...

Looks to me like
you're already hurt.

Ankle?

Isn't that poetic?

You walk out on me
and come up lame.

I didn't walk out on you.

I slept a night in
jail 'cause o' you.

And I find out from the
neighbors that you took off.

Do you have any idea
how that made me feel?

Brad, that's not
what happ... Do you?!

I'm sorry.

No, you're not.

But you're gonna be.

Oh, baby, are you ever gonna be.

No! Ahh!

Yah!

Get him! Get him! Get him!

He's mine!
