Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 4, Episode 6 - Evil in the Night - full transcript

Easy, boy. Come here, come on.

What's the matter, huh?

Something spook you?

Mm?

You're okay, all right?

Yeah.

Are you sure this is it?

Yeah, this is it.

Look at it.

But... I don't know
about this, P.K.

Oh, come on, you're not
gonna wimp out on me now.

No, I...

I just mean, it's...
It's kind of creepy.

That's what makes
it so much fun.

Would you hurry up?

Coming.

Look, man.

Ha, ha, this is great.

I really hate lightning.

Lightning? It's just a
small storm, it'll pass.

Oh, yeah.

Check it out, Dustin.

What is it?

It's a bone yard, man.

Heard about it on the radio.

They quit construction

when they found
this old graveyard.

Hey, look...

I really don't think you
should be going down there.

Lighten up.

Hey, here...

give me a hand.

Argh. Wha-at...?

That's not funny, P.K.

Quit whining. We...

This is sacred ground.

We... W-we weren't
doing anything.

Please, mister... don't hurt us.

Spirits are crying... with pain.

Until now, the city's efforts

to replace old
deteriorating buildings

with newer structures
has gone smoothly.

But tragedy struck the city's
newest reclamation project today

when two teenage boys were
found dead in the predawn hours.

Neither their identities
nor cause of death

have been made public.

Ranger Walker?

Captain.

Well... we got two kids

killed approximately 3 a.m.

Ah, Paul Kelly Moore
and Dustin Ames,

both just 16.

Sixteen? Yeah.

What the devil were they
doing out here at that hour?

Looking for trouble, I guess.

Well, looks like they found it.

Yeah, anyway...

the night watchman called it in.

And, eh... I'm telling you,

he's spinning some kind of yarn

about what he saw too.

Mr. Hopkins?

Excuse me, sir, but, eh, these
two men are Texas Rangers

and they'd like to
hear about last night,

if you don't mind.

Well, I never
saw nothing like it.

And I don't wanna never
see it again, neither.

Could you tell us what
happened, Mr. Hopkins?

Well, I was in the
trailer taking a break,

and I must have nodded off,

I don't know how long,

but all of a sudden
I heard screams.

Made my flesh crawl.

All right, then what happened?

Well, them other
cops don't believe me.

Well, we'd like
to hear your story.

Well, I saw a fellow

over on that bulldozer there.

I couldn't make
him out real good

till he looked my way.

He sent a chill
clear through me.

He had the eyes of a dead man.

And it was then that
I saw 'em, the ghosts.

Ghosts?

How do you know
they were ghosts?

Well, I could see
right through 'em.

I knew right off that
them youngsters

didn't have a prayer.

So I hightailed
it for the police.

Thank you very
much, Mr. Hopkins.

You've been very helpful.

Ranger, it weren't
natural what I saw,

that dead-eyed fellow
and them ghosts.

You take care.

Yes, sir.

Gee, I wonder what he
was drinking last night.

I don't think he was
drinking anything.

Come on, you don't believe

that Freddy Krueger
and ghost pals story.

What have you got, Kim?

No sign of a struggle,

no visible marks on either body.

But their eyes are open
with the strangest expression.

What do you mean, strange?

It's not like anything

I've ever seen before.

I-it's almost as if they were...

frightened to death.

Keep us informed, will you, Kim?

You know I will.

Okay, so we got an old man

who gives us a bad read
from a Stephen King novel,

and our coroner tells
us that our two victims

were frightened to death.

Yeah... right.

The mayor's upset, Walker.

We all get upset when kids
are murdered, councilman.

Murdered?

Well, tell that to our
esteemed coroner.

She says the autopsy shows

no sign of foul play or drugs.

Sometimes these things

take a while to sort
out, councilman.

The autopsy states that
both hearts just stopped.

Give me a break.

Healthy teenagers don't
drop dead for no reason.

Maybe they were scared to death.

These rumors about killer ghosts
already have the public worried.

The press is gonna
have a field day.

Now, something or
someone was out there.

Well, find him, Walker, please.

As long as there's unexplained
questions about those deaths,

construction at the
site will be held up.

It's gonna cost
the city a fortune.

That's terrific. Heh.

Kids are dead
because of something

modern forensic
science can't explain.

City hall's worried about cash.

So, what's new?

There must be some piece
we're overlooking here.

I mean, what about some
kind of new street drug

that maybe the ME
doesn't have a test for yet?

I was told the boys were clean.

They didn't use drugs.

Yeah, but what?

I don't know. Walker, Trivette.

I've been looking
everywhere for you two.

Hey, Tara, how's the new job?

Well, the Dallas Herald is fine,

thank you very much.

Now that I have
my first big story.

What do you think about
this Ames-Moore killings?

What about it?

The ghosts.

Walker, anything about ghosts

the week of Halloween
is a reporter's dream.

Who said anything about ghosts?

Sources at city hall.

Are you gonna deny that there's

a supernatural
aspect to this case?

I'm not going to deny anything.

Well, good.

Tsk, so, what if I told you

that, eh, these weren't
the first mysterious deaths

associated with the
construction project?

What?

Two weeks ago the
foreman was found dead.

Wait a minute.

Arlington P.D. reported
that as an accident.

The man was found
electrocuted in his own hot tub

the day after uncovering
an Indian burial site.

Some accident.

Man, that's scary.

You see how fast Tara's fallen

for that supernatural garbage?

I'm not so sure it is garbage.

I hate it when you do that.

What?

See, you're figuring out stuff

and you're not telling
me how you got there.

I don't know what I've
figured out, Trivette.

But I have an idea
where to start. Come on.

No, please, go away.

Don't hurt me. Go.

My ancestors must be revenged.

K. Jennings & Associates,
what's the connection?

Kyle Jennings designed
the reclamation project.

If there's any problems,
he'd know about it.

You must die.

No!

What's wrong?

Oh, my boss, he's gone crazy.

He thinks someone's
trying to kill him.

Who's your boss?

Kyle Jennings. He's
locked in his office.

Jennings. Get everybody
out of the hallway.

Open the door.

Make them leave me alone.

They're trying to kill me.

Help.

Help me.

Help.

What the hell was that?

Bad medicine, Trivette.

Real bad.

I just talked to Kyle Jennings.

He was ranting and raving

that an Indian medicine
man was trying to kill him.

Well, maybe it was.

Excuse me?

You heard me,
Alex. Maybe it was.

So you saw him too?

Walker, I checked it out.

There was nobody seen

entering or exiting that office.

That doesn't mean
he wasn't there.

This is tied to the
construction site, isn't it?

I heard the remains
they uncovered

were Indian men,
women, and children.

Yeah, they were.

The Comanches were defeated
at Bandera Pass in 1841.

The ones that escaped
were tracked down and killed.

It's all here in the book,
if you wanna read it.

Jennings said that
the medicine man

conjured up demon
spirits to attack him.

Walker...

when you were
in Jennings' office,

did you see the things
that he's talking about?

I don't know what I saw, Alex.

Right.

Washoe, it is good to see you.

And you, White Eagle.

Sit with me.

There is sorrow in your heart,

and worry in your eyes.

Too much for one man.

I remember a story you
told me as a little boy.

About medicine men
who practiced dark magic.

Why does that story
trouble you now, Washoe?

I believe I have
seen such a man.

And he has killed
three innocent people.

I found this.

Comanche.

Tell me more about this man.

When I looked at him...
I could hardly move.

He had a strange power,

and brought spirits to life.

The man you saw
must be a powerful witch.

Kalanu Ahyeliski,
a raven mocker.

The Comanche call
them skinwalkers.

How do I stop him?

I'm sorry, Washoe.

There can be no victory for you

with the skinwalker.

Only death.

What you have
said tells me much.

Burial place of the
Comanche dead

has been invaded.

The skinwalker believes

that he must
avenge their spirits.

I must find a way to stop him.

The witch cannot be
stopped, not by you.

Why not me?

You have lived too long
among the whites, Washoe.

You would have no
chance against him.

You have forgotten
the tribal ways.

My father's Cherokee
blood still flows

through my veins, White Eagle.

And he would be
the first to tell you

that it is not wise to
interfere with the spirits.

I have no choice.

You cannot fight
the Kalanu Ahyeliski.

He will go inside your mind.

He will know when
your guard is down.

Then teach me, White
Eagle. Show me the way.

To defeat the
skinwalker's demon spirits,

you must first defeat
your own demons,

for they will be
used against you.

The Kalanu
Ahyeliski brings to life

all the evil that
killed his ancestors.

They can only be silenced
by the good spirits within you.

Never forget, Washoe,

the strength you
need for this challenge,

is not in your arms or legs.

It is in your heart.

Remember also, Washoe,

that magic is a good thing.

It is not to be feared.

When used for evil,
it is only trickery.

Do not let the witch's
tricks destroy you.

The strength you
need for this challenge,

is not in your arms or legs.

It is in your heart.

You have lived too long
among the whites, Washoe.

Remember also that
magic is a good thing.

When used for evil,
it is only trickery.

Do not let the witch's
tricks destroy you.

Destroy you, destroy
you, destroy you...

Councilman Graham,
Tara Flynn from the Herald.

Why won't you
return my phone calls?

Eh, I've been busy, Miss Flynn.

If I'd known how
attractive you were,

I would've shown better manners.

I'm interested in your comments

about the events surrounding
the construction project

in your district.

Now, we have an
ongoing investigation

into the Ames-Moore killings.

What is city hall
covering up, councilman?

I don't know anything
about a cover-up.

The night watchman
said he saw Indian spirits

attack the boys.

Heh, heh, yeah, it's
a little bit farfetched,

don't you think?

Well, your architect said
he saw ghosts as well.

Kyle Jennings is a
severely disturbed individual

as his attempted
suicide would indicate.

Yes, but he calls it
attempted murder.

You're looking
for a quote, right?

Well, here it is.

All this talk about
supernatural phenomenon,

it's nothing more
than a smoke screen

devised by opponents to progress

and growth in the city.

Can you name those opponents?

All you need to know

is that a worthless old building

will be replaced
by an office tower

that's gonna house hundreds,
hundreds of city employees.

That construction will continue,

Miss Flynn, as scheduled.

I think that's the
end of our interview.

Thank you.

What? What the hell do you want?

I want your soul on fire.

He just stepped right
in front of that bus.

He had to have seen it.

We had just been talking,

and then he just walks
out in front of the bus

just like he didn't see it.

And then there was this weird
Indian man standing nearby.

Walker, Tara just saw
Councilman Graham killed.

You are not gonna
believe what happened.

Yeah, I just heard.

Well, did you see Kyle Jennings

attacked by Indian spirits?

Walker, talk to me. I'm scared.

I need to know
what I'm dealing with.

We both do.

Hey, Walker,

I sent that police sketch to
the Comanche leadership

like you wanted.
What's the problem?

The man we saw was a
Comanche medicine man.

He's possessed by evil spirits.

He's what?

I was right.

You guys, we...

We are getting so
carried away by this.

Look, I know you're
part Cherokee,

but there is an explanation

for what we saw at
Kyle Jennings' place.

Like what?

A... An optical illusion

or toxic gas in the
ventilation system

from cracked heat
exchangers, yes.

Trivette, Native Americans
have been practicing magic

for 10,000 years.

Don't underestimate them.

I am n... I am not
underestimating them.

It's just 1995.

Kyle Jennings was found
dead 15 minutes ago...

hanged.

He was locked in his
house from the inside

with no forced entry.

But the neighbors heard him

screaming and
pleading for his life.

Your sketch of
Jennings' assailant

came up a winner.

Guy's name's Running Wolf.

Comanche medicine man

known for practicing evil magic.

Bet you this guy scares the hell

out of his own people.

Legend has it he can
change shapes at will.

Turns himself into a
wolf, a snake and a raven.

I know that's wrong
about changing shapes.

Nobody can actually
do that, right?

Well, an Indian
shaman lives closer

to nature than we do, Trivette.

We're talking about
the impossible.

No man can turn
into a wolf, right?

Conjure up evil spirits?

There's no such thing as ghosts.

Well, whatever,

I'm not letting you
take him on by yourself.

I have no choice.

The man's dangerous.

You gotta let me shoulder

part of the load,
I'm your partner.

It's a tribal thing.

White man's rules
don't apply here.

I'm not a white man, remember?

Well, you dance like one.

Okay.

No, seriously.

This is between
Running Wolf and myself.

But I appreciate it.

Oh, m... What is all this?

Is the violin too much?

Oh, no, heh, I love it. I...

You just don't normally come up

with anything like this.

Well, I wanted your birthday

to be very special.

Oh...

It's more than anything
I could ever dream.

You're a very important part

of my life, Alex.

And I want you to be
a bigger part of my life.

I want you to be my wife.

I can't believe you're
asking me to marry you.

Walker, what's wrong?

Walker, what's happening to you?

The spirits need revenge.

What? Argh.

No! You must die.

No!

I know you hear me.

I walk inside you now.

You cannot refuse me.

I own you, I own you, I own you.

I own you.

I own you, I own you, I own you.

You cannot refuse me.

I own you.

Never forget, Washoe,

the strength you
need for this challenge,

is not in your arms or legs.

It is in your heart.

You are not alone, Washoe.

I am with you.

Do not let the Kalanu
Ahyeliski inside of you.

You cannot refuse me.

I own you.

The Kalanu Ahyeliski

brings to life all the evil

that killed his ancestors.

They can only be silenced

by the good spirits within you.

No.

Never forget, Washoe,

the strength you
need for this challenge

is not in your arms or legs.

It is in your heart.

You cannot refuse me. I own you.

You are not the man that
you think you are, Walker.

Remember the
drug raid in Mexico?

There is no escape.

I won't let you,
I won't let you,

I won't let you.

Get down.

Fire!

Sargento...

Sar... No, no, you're
my only brother.

No te me mueras.
Please, please don't die.

No, no, please. He's
my brother, Walker.

No, not like that.

You cannot fight
and you cannot hide.

I am inside of you.

And I know what it is
that you want to forget.

But I will not allow
you to escape from it.

You would have no
chance against him.

Get down.

You have forgotten
the tribal ways.

A man died because of
you, Walker. Remember?

Because you were weak.

Because you failed.

But you failed then
and you are failing now.

I can feel your
fear inside of me.

And that fear is my strength.

He will go inside your mind.

He will know when
your guard is down.

Do not doubt yourself, Washoe.

Do not forget the
lessons I have taught you.

You must first defeat
your own demons,

or they will be
used against you.

Defeat your own demons

or they will be
used against you.

The strength you
need for this challenge

is not in your arms or legs.

It is in your heart.

In your heart. In your heart.

Do not blame yourself.

This was my destiny, Walker.

You have no power
over me, Running Wolf.

Hello?

Walker?

Walker, are you home?

Walker, are you here?

White Eagle? James Trivette.

I'm a friend of
Walker's. We met before.

This is Alex Cahill. She's
a friend of Walker's too.

Welcome.

We didn't know
where else to turn.

We know that Walker's
come to you for counsel.

White Eagle, something's
happened to him.

His house has been ransacked

and we haven't heard
from him for hours.

We're afraid it has
something to do

with that Comanche medicine
man he talked to you about.

Ah... Only prayers
can help Washoe now.

And the strength within him.

The war between them has begun.

What, you...?
Y-you talked to him?

I only know what I feel.

The skinwalker is
trying to possess him.

What?

There could be no defense

against your own past, Walker.

Your past makes
you weak and pathetic.

You belong to me.

Time for surrender, Walker.

You cannot fight
and you cannot hide.

I am inside of you.

No matter how hard you
try, it won't go away, Walker.

Remember Vietnam?

You were a leader
of men, Walker.

Captain Walker, base
camp on the horn for you, sir.

Said it's important.

I can relieve you here, sir.

Fan the men out.
Keep them in a wedge.

Keep a sharp eye out.

Charlie's out
there, I can feel him.

Yes, sir.

Got it.

Your past makes
you weak and pathetic.

You belong to me.

Pierce!

Man down!

Pierce. Oh, my God.

The time has come, Walker.

The spirits of my ancestors
demand their payment.

They demand you.

Pierce!

They demand you.

I don't know.

Man down.

Pierce. Oh, my God.

To defeat the
skinwalker's demon spirits,

you must first defeat
your own demons,

or they will be
used against you.

Against you. Against you.

It's not your fault, lieutenant.

I know what you're
trying to do, Running Wolf.

But it's not going to work.

I can feel you weakening.

You cannot fight forever.

I've conquered the
demons of my past.

I'm stronger, not weaker.

I'm sorry, Jimmy.

I just can't stand
around here and wait.

There's gotta be something
we can do to help Walker.

I'm sorry, there's nothing
you can do, Miss Cahill.

I don't care how much
magic Running Wolf knows.

He's still just a man.

It is not Running Wolf.

It is the spirits who fill
his heart that are powerful.

White Eagle, the
spirits are restless

because of how they died, right?

And how their burial
place was disturbed.

Okay, so, what happens
if we put them at peace?

That's great, Jimmy.

What if somebody
prayed over the grave?

Is there some way of putting
restless spirits at peace?

A burial ritual might help.

I will gather the elders.

Okay.

Yeah, Trivette.

It's Tara, I've got
everybody looking for Walker

and still no sign of him.

Hey, listen, Tara,

we're going after
this differently.

We're going after
Running Wolf at the source.

What are you talking about?

Since this guy gets his power

from the spirits that
are possessing him,

we're taking the Cherokee
elders down to the burial site

for a ceremony to give
the spirits some peace.

You think that can work?

At this point, we're
gonna try anything.

I'll meet you there.

Yeah, right.

Walker?

Alex? Trivette?

Help!

Nobody to hear you scream.

There is no escape.

From what?

You are the sacrifice
for the spirits.

Let her go, Running Wolf.

She must pay her
debt, as you will.

It's over.

I don't think so.

Magic is a good thing.

It is not to be feared.

When used for evil,
it is only trickery.

Do not let the witch's
tricks destroy you.

I know you're still
here, Running Wolf.

Your tricks will not fool me.

You know nothing of the
world, Walker, nothing at all.

Sooner or later, you're
gonna have to face me.

Walker... Argh! Help me.

Where is he?

This is sacred ground.

The woman is going to die now.

Die now.

Die now.

Die now.

The woman is going to die now.

She will be a worthy sacrifice

for the spirits.

But she will not be the last.

You will be the last sacrifice.

Oh... Oh, thank you, thank you.

How did you tell
which image was real?

They were identical.

Illusion doesn't sweat.

Oh.

Oh, thank God, you're all right.

Oh...

That was incredible.
