Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 4, Episode 21 - Blackout - full transcript

Whoa.

Yeah!

Woo-hoo.

You.

You're not supposed
to be up here.

Travis.

There you are, you naughty boy.

Travis is one of
my best customers.

Dropped... How much
was it tonight, Travis?

Around 60?

You wouldn't want him
to get lost now, would we?

He did it with a smile.

We'll let Mr. Hendricks
decide that.

Do we really have to?

Yeah, we really have to.

We gotta get out of here.

What happened in there?

I don't know.

Well, what took you so long?

You called me Travis.

Look, Remy said
your name was Travis.

You're Travis to me.

Now my cover is blown,

so can we please
get out of here?

My car is right outside.

We've got to go out the back.

We couldn't find Remy
Burns, Mr. Hendricks.

That's not what I want to hear.
Look, our people are out there.

He's not gonna
get out of Dallas.

What's wrong, Savage?

The hombre with the
new dealer, Leann.

His name's Walker.

He's a Ranger. A
damn one-man army.

I think Savage is on to us.

If I'm gonna die, I've
gotta call my mama first.

I want to know what he's doing.

Have them stopped.

Oh, man. I'm dead.

Hey!

Wow.

We gotta go.

Hey... Hey, Security.

Let's go.

Come on.

Ryan. Jenkins. MAN: Yeah.

Don't let them get away.

Ooh!

Don't let them go.

Okay, Remy told
me that your name

was Travis Harper.

Remy? Remy Burns.

He said that he was
headed for toe-tag city

if he didn't make
a deal with you.

I was supposed to
point out the office

where Hendricks
kept computer records

of all of his operations.

Wait a minute.

If you're making a deal
with a sleaze-ball like Remy

who are you, the competition?

Look, I was almost
killed back there.

If your name isn't
Travis, what is it?

I don't know.

First, Remy lies to me,

then, he sets me
up with a cowboy

who takes no prisoners,

and who doesn't know who he is.

And now, I have a big
old bull's-eye on my back.

Tomorrow night's New Year's Eve,

and if you're my
date, we're both dead.

New Year's Eve.

New Year's Eve.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Excuse me.

You're, uh, hurt.

Caught one in the shoulder.

Boy, the way you
fought back there.

How did you learn those moves?

I don't know.

Farrell.

He must have caught
that Ranger in here.

Remy Burns needed inside help

to plant those bugs.

We got a license
plate on the girl's car.

Have Markham run it.

All right You find the girl,

you'll find Burns.

Get on it.

I gave a fake address on
my application at the casino,

so we can go to my place.

ID?

What's it say?

Travis Harper, El Paso, Texas.

Maybe that's your name.

Does it sound familiar?

No.

The condo upstairs

used to belong to one of
Remy Burns' girlfriends.

He's letting me borrow it.

No special favors involved.

Remy Burns is not my style,

which is the good news.

The bad is, I favor rodeo types.

I swear to you, my life
is like a country song.

Right here.

Where did you hook
up with this Burns guy?

New Orleans.

I was dealing 21 at this casino

that was ready to fold.

Remy said he had a job.

Could use my talent.

What kind of job?

Surveillance. Sounded exciting.

James Bond kind of stuff.

Until I found out Hendricks
was Remy's target.

You see, he knew there
was an opening for a dealer.

So once I was in,

I planted bugs and a
camera in Hendricks' office.

What was he looking for?

Conversations between Hendricks

and some very important people.

Where's Burns now?

On the run.

Said he would catch up with me.

He owes me money.

Do you trust him?

I wouldn't go that far.

I mean, how many
people do you really trust?

I wish I knew.

Get down here now!

Car was a recent purchase,

signed for by Leann Singer.

Address?

Skyline Drive. Downtown.

Put up those new
high-rise condos.

It's different from the address
she put on the application.

Which means you checked
out her measurements

better than you
checked out her papers.

I'll have this Leann person's

whole life history
for you in a minute.

You know, the memory is a very,

very tricky thing.

I mean, have you ever
left your car, or your house

and you didn't know
if you locked it or not,

or gone into a room
and didn't know why?

Maybe you hit your
head really hard.

In my mama's favorite soap,

Amber hit her
head in a car crash,

and she couldn't remember
who she was, either.

Temporary amnesia.

But it all came back to
her in bits and pieces.

I need to call my mama.

No phone calls.

Oh, my gosh.

You really do need a doctor.

I said no doctors.

Where's the bathroom?
I'll clean this up.

Back there.

Credit cards,

hospital records,
gas, phone, electric.

Ah.

She owns a cellular phone.

And what would life be
without them these days?

Find out who owns the condo.

Thanks, anyway.

So information in El Paso

said there is no listing
for a Travis Harper.

But then again, the number
wouldn't necessarily be listed,

so maybe you are from El Paso.

I told you no phone calls.

I am just trying to help.

Well, good. Here.

Okay, the one thing we do know

is that you know how
to handle yourself.

But I wish you could
remember something.

I remember sitting
by a campfire...

at a ceremony.

Ceremony?

Native American.

Well, do you know
why you were there?

No.

But I felt like I
belonged there.

Well, what about a woman?

A girlfriend? A wife?

I mean, someone like you is
bound to have someone special.

I remember a woman.

I don't know who she is, but...

she's very beautiful.

Leann, why are you doing this?

Helping you?

Because if it weren't for you,

I would be dead back
there in front of that casino.

You know, maybe things will
all come back together for you,

like they did for Amber,

just like a big jigsaw puzzle,

piece by piece.

You know, everyone has a story.

We just have to figure
out what yours is.

Everyone has a story.

We just have to figure
out what yours is.

Who are you?

Yes, sir, New Year's Eve,

one of my favorite holidays.

And I got the New Year's
Eve beans right here.

You bet, just throw
those down your system.

All right. What you got
them seasoned with?

Well, I'll guarantee
you it's not toofu.

You mean tofu.

They're seasoned with
fatback. Just eat the damn things.

Oh, we're going to have
a great party here, Jimmy.

I mean, um...

I... I've got a live band,
the place is sold out.

Look at all these
favors and everything.

You and I are kidding
each other, aren't we?

It don't mean diddlysquat.

Unless we're
certain Walker's okay.

Have we heard anything?

Nothing.

Look, let's don't send
the dogs out too soon.

We know what undercover means.

Who is this surveillance
expert anyway?

Name's Remy Burns.

He's a flake.

But he's at the top of his game,

and Walker figured that
he could help us bring down

this hard-core Mexican
drug connection.

You okay, Alex?

Ever since Walker and I
have known each other,

we've never missed a New Year's.

Uh, sit down, honey.
I'll get you some coffee.

Wanna go a couple rounds?

I could use the workout.

Are you saying you
want to spar with me?

Aw, come... Yeah, okay,

I know you were a
kick-boxing champion,

but that was 15 years ago.

Yeah, you're right.

I am over the hill.

All right, but take
it easy on me.

National or international rules?

What's the difference?

International rules,
you can kick the leg.

Fine with me. Okay.

Damn, that hurt.

You okay? Yeah, I'm all right.

Let's do national rules.

Okay.

Hey, you all right?

Yeah, I'm all right. You sure?

Yeah, I'm okay, I'm okay.

Actually...
wrestling is my forte.

I was Penn State champion.

You mean now
you want to wrestle?

Yeah.

Well, remember,
I'm over the hill,

so take it easy on me.

Okay, now, if it
gets to be too much,

just pat the old
mat three times.

Tap three times? Got it. Yeah.

I'll get these off.

All right.

I get the message.

Are you all right?

Oh, my God. You
are bleeding again.

Ooh, shoot.

I'm gonna go get you
a fresh bandage, okay?

I'll be right back.

All better.

Oh, by the way, um,
while you were asleep,

I picked you up
some fresh clothes

at this little all-night
store around the corner.

They're not exactly GQ,

but I figured clean clothes
and a shower would do wonders.

How long was I asleep?

Not long enough.

What about you?

Don't worry about me.

I am running on pure adrenaline.

Besides, when this is all over,

there will be plenty
of time for me to sleep,

or whatever.

I've gotta find Burns, Leann.

He knows who I am.

I put a page on his beeper.

He needs you as
much as you need him.

So he will contact us when
he knows that we're here.

I'm gonna go scare up
some breakfast, okay?

Okay.

Yeah, I know, I couldn't
sit around, either.

So I'm covering the streets.
I'm talking to every snitch

and every lowlife I know
who knows Walker's face.

Maybe Walker's cover
took him out of town.

Yeah, as long as
it's not El Paso.

Why?

His cover is the
real Travis Harper,

who's alive and well, and the
feds got him on ice in El Paso

while Walker's
using his identity.

Who are you?

Cop was patching me up

when a Texas Ranger walked in.

He stood there looking at me,

for a long time.

Finally, he said,

"Boy, the way I see it,

"you've got two choices:

"You can work for the law,

or against the law."

I guess you can see
which one I picked.

Condo ownership
listed under the name

of Remington J. Burns.

Get the chopper.

What about the
surveillance tapes?

If Burns doesn't
have them on him,

he'll have hidden them
where nobody'll ever find them.

You kill Burns,
you kill the tapes.

Hope you like scrambled.

It's all I know how to make.

Looks good.

Shh.

Whoa, Leann... It's Remy.

Jeez, you nearly
broke my neck, Walker.

You bastard! Ow!

Walker?

Jeez, I let you use this
pad and that's what I get?

You nearly got me
killed is what you did.

Jeez, you're looking at me
like you never saw me before.

This is what I get
from my friends.

I don't wanna know what my
enemies have in store for me.

You have no friends, Remy.

And when Clay gets ahold of you,

he's gonna put
you six feet under

sure as I'm looking at you.

No, no, that's what
we got to figure out.

Right buddy?

I mean, what I did, it
was a thing of beauty.

I... I'm into hardware the
government only dreams of.

It's my own stuff.
Basically, I'm a genius.

The bugs I had Leann plant,

icing on the doughnut.

I had them in Hendricks'
limo, in his john.

He couldn't burp without
my recording it for posterity.

What I had on the tapes,
it was pure dynamite.

Remy, Hendricks
caught us in the casino.

If he ties us together,
we're all dead.

Yeah, well, see,
I... I was playing

both ends against the middle.

Hendricks hired me to
wiretap the guys in Mexico.

They would fly in drug
money for Hendricks to wash,

and the cash would go back
into coke for world consumption.

Why did they want
him wiretapped?

I... I told you
before, insurance.

See, that's when I saw how
I could score from both ends,

by selling the tapes to
the boys I was taping.

Then Hendricks caught on.

What was it I was
supposed to do?

What are you
talking about, Walker?

We've been over
most of this already.

I'll turn state's evidence,

everything I know.

You, you just gotta get me
out from under Hendricks.

He doesn't remember talking
to you about that, Remy.

What?

He's got amnesia.

What?

Walker, is that a first
name or last name?

Jeez, I'm a dead man.

Look out. Whoa!

I'm out of here.

Burns.

Let's get out of here.

Tell me this is
just a bad dream.

Give me the keys.

Here.

You are amazing.

Do you have any idea

where Burns keeps the
tapes he was talking about?

He has a loft in
an old warehouse

where he keeps
all of his equipment.

No one is supposed
to know where.

But you do?

I followed him there.

Good.

This is it. Pull over here.

This is where
Remy keeps his loft.

Now, we know that Remy thought

you name was
Walker or something.

Walker feels right.

There's also an
Alex and a Trivette.

Male? Female?

Alex is definitely female.

Well, do you remember
Alex's last name?

Uh-uh.

I mean, maybe you
were married to her.

No, I don't think so.

If Remy had
gunpowder for brains,

he couldn't blow his nose,

but he sure knows his business.

Look at all this stuff.

He's also a pack rat.

God.

State of the art.

So you obviously
know your business too.

Look for the tapes.

Mama said there'd
be days like this.

Hi, Mama.

It's me.

Sorry I haven't been
able to call you...

We got her.

She's finally using
her cell phone.

Can we triangulate
on her position?

No problem.

Okay, look.

When I first got thrown
together with you,

I didn't know who you were.

Neither did you. But...
But you could've been

some freaking psycho
killer for all I knew, right?

But Remy kept talking
about turning state's evidence,

you helping him.

And now you're
talking like a cop.

Are you a cop? Say yes.

I don't know.

God, I hate that.

Then stop asking
me questions, Leann.

You are the most
stubborn, aggravating person

I have ever met.

Hm.

I think someone else
has said that to me.

You know, she's the most
obnoxious, aggravating,

mule-headed... I've
heard that before.

I never said mule-headed.

No. She did about you.

Oh, excuse me.

You!

You were completely
out of line, Ranger.

Out of line? That's some of the
dumbest questions I ever heard.

Dumb questions? Yeah.

Next time I get you
on the witness stand,

I want you to act in a
professional manner.

You were arrogant,
you were rude,

you embarrassed me in front...

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

What was I saying?

Excuse me.

You know what my dream is?

To buy my mama a new house,

move her out of
that old trailer park.

You know, maybe if I hadn't
quit going to beauty college

I would have a decent job now

giving perms to old
ladies with purple hair.

Instead, I thought,

dealing cards,
working in a casino,

now there's the pure high life.

Money and fun and
excitement all rolled up into one.

But I tell you something,

I have just about had
my fill of excitement.

Are you a cop? Say yes.

Walker, what are
you looking for?

Revenge?

Retribution?

Justice.

Oh!

Hey, you look mighty
pretty, sweetheart.

Thank you.

Hey, Al.

You guys look like I feel.

Don't try to cheer us up.

He's gonna call. I know it.

Nope.

No, he's not gonna call
because it's four days past

when he was
supposed to check in.

Look, guys, this
isn't gonna work.

We're either gonna have
to grit our way through it...

Or not have a New Year.

Damn it.

Did you ever see that old movie

It's a Wonderful Life?

It's my mama's favorite.

The lesson to be
learned in that movie

is no matter where you've been,

or who you are,

you always find what
you're looking for.

Well, nothing in here but CDs.

C.D.

C.D., I'm telling you,

I was not invited
to dinner tonight.

Cordell, you may know that
penal code from cover to cover,

but you don't know split
peas from coffee about women.

Well I'm not gonna
argue with you about it.

Yeah, music CDs,

but we're looking
for tapes, remember?

Alex, Trivette, C.D.

C.D.'s a person?

He sure as heck is.

Crotchety as the day is long.

Dadgum you, Cordell.
Get up off that floor.

One good friend.

Hey, lookie there.

Is that them?

Yeah.

Go hide.

Here. Over there.

Let him go, Leann.

But I like it.

I don't care if you
do like it. Let him go.

My name is Cordell Walker,
Leann. I'm a Texas Ranger.

You remember? That is so cool.

Call the Ranger office, Okay.

And tell them to hurry.

Hello?

Mama.

Listen, I'm a little
bit busy right now.

I'll have to call you back.

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six,

five, four, three, two, one,

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year.

Walk...

Hey, Cordell, you're
a sight for sore eyes.

Get out! I guess it's gonna
be a New Year after all.

Hey, Walker's here!
