Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 5, Episode 1 - Higher Power - full transcript
But what I don't understand is,
if people keep getting a chance
to come back and live again,
how come the world
isn't getting any better?
You're laughing at me.
Oh, not at all.
It is just that many years ago,
I asked Lama Dolgin
the very same question.
What'd he say?
He said that
perhaps it is because,
though everyone
comes back to live,
only a very few
come back to learn.
Lama Dolgin sounds like
he was a heck of a guy.
Lama Dolgin was a heck of a guy.
He was your teacher?
Yes.
My teacher and my friend.
Seems like you miss him.
Very much.
Kill the others if you must,
but the boy must be taken alive.

Master Rin, next time you
must try some cotton candy.
I certainly will.
That was fun.
Thank you.
Damn, fellas, lookie there.
It's one of them there monkeys.
If you'll please excuse.
If I will please?
Yes, please.
We would like to be on our way.
Damn, fellas, you hear that?
This monkey here's got
himself some damn fine manners.
That's nice, real
nice. Heh-heh-heh.
Where'd you learn
that, over at the zoo?
Leave him alone.
Oh, don't you
worry, little missy.
You'll get yours.
Now, come on, let's see
what you got under the dress.
Here, give us a little
peeky. Come on.
Hey, where you goin'?
Hey.
Where you goin', monkey?
We're just tryin'
to have a little fun.
Please, we have no quarrel.
Oh, we have no quarrel.
How about now, huh?
We got a quarrel now?
I said, stop it.
Hold it, back off.
You okay? Yes, thank you.
What do you think you're doin'?
These folks are going,
and you're gonna
leave them alone.
You hear that, fellas?
This old boy wants
to let our guests go,
and the party ain't even
hardly gotten started yet.
Look, mister, nobody's
goin' anywhere
till I say they can go.
Back off before
someone gets hurt.
Yeah, you.
Aah!
Get him.
Get out of here.
I'm sorry about that.
Your apology is unnecessary.
As a wise man once said,
"Violence when there
are alternatives is immoral.
"Violence when there
are none is survival."
My thoughts exactly.
Thank you.
My pleasure.
Is something wrong?
Hopefully not.
C.D., we have
some special guests.
Oh, my goodness.
C.D. Parker, Susan Lee.
How do you do?
It's a pleasure. Hi.
Master Rin. How do you do?
And this is Susan's son, Davey.
Well, lookie here.
How you doin'?
Hi.
Let's get a couple of tables
and we'll get something to eat.
C.D. has got to start
watering these plants.
Yeah, they do
look awful, all right.
Let's put these
two tables together.
We should have plenty of room.
I'll help. Yes, sirree,
we don't get honored
guests like this every day.
You'll be just fine.
Well, I was thinking of a
grilled-cheese sandwich
and some of C.D.'s
world-famous, all-veggie chili.
Yes.
Oh, let me tell you, Cordell,
I'm gonna like this guy.
Gringo quesadilla
and meatless wonder right
over here for this gentleman.
What in the world are you
doing down here, Master Rin?
I have come to find the tulku.
Too-coo what?
The tulku.
It's what Tibetan Buddhists
call the reincarnation
of one of their
teachers, or lamas.
Five years ago my teacher,
the Lama Dolgin, passed away.
Since that time,
I have searched
all over the world
to find his reincarnated form.
So you think Davey's the one?
I am sure he is.
It's a little early to be sure.
There's still one more test.
Yes. One final test.
What if Davey is the tulku?
He will come to Nepal
to be educated at the monastery.
These are pictures of
famous Texas Rangers, Davey.
- Are you okay with this?
- Would you be?
But if Davey
really is the tulku,
then this is his destiny.
I can't stand in
the way of that.
So if he does pass the test,
you're willing to move to Nepal?
Oh, I wouldn't be going.
But I thought you just said...
No, Master Rin said
Davey would go to Nepal.
If I were to go,
I wouldn't be allowed to
play any real part in his life.
But you're his mama.
I know I'm his mama.
But if he's the tulku,
that doesn't mean anything.
Now, let me check on that food.
If Davey is the tulku,
his care and education
will be in the
hands of the monks.
I know this must be hard
for you to understand.
It's hard for me to understand,
and I was raised this way.
It's gotta be so
difficult for you, Susan.
Here you go.
Do you think Master
Rin is a coward?
Why, do you think so?
I don't know.
But, I mean, back
at the carnival,
when those men were
pushing him around,
he didn't even fight back.
Well, Davey, the bravest
thing a man can do
is stand up for
what he believes.
By that measure,
I think Master Rin
is one of the bravest
men I've ever met.
I think so too.
Thank you, Ranger Walker.
Whoa.
Holy mackerel.
That was a very good meal.
Thank you.
The final test is
tomorrow afternoon.
You would both do us an
honor if you would attend.
Oh, it'd be our pleasure.
We'd love to.
Walker.
Wasn't this the...?
Yeah.
Now, Ray, remember,
cover me from the truck.
I don't wanna be
a target out there.
The building belongs to the
Black Tigers, an Asian gang.
Ah, we should
have no trouble here.
The meeting's at 8:00.
If they try anything
stupid, kill them.
This will do very well.
Even the police will
never come in here.
What the hell?
You must leave. Leave?
You know who we are?
We're the Black Tigers.
If you leave, you may live.
If you stay, you will die.
Kill them.
I told you you would die.
Get rid of them.
All of the items on the table
are from the same
village in Tibet.
They're all quite similar,
and in many cases even
identical to each other.
But three of the items
once belonged to
the Lama Dolgin.
Here they come.
This is the final test.
Choose well and choose wisely.
This is mine.
And this.
Mm-hm.
And this too.
You gave me this, Master Rin.
Yes.
For your birthday, 30 years ago.
The lama has returned.
Yeah, they're going
through there right now.
Walker, Trivette.
Kim. Hey, Kim. What you got?
Well, that depends.
Either we've got six
members of the world's only
all-Asian, no-parachute
skydiving club,
or somebody did a
number on these guys
like I've never seen before.
Any IDs?
No, but from the
look of their tattoos,
I can tell you one thing.
They weren't choirboys.
Tattoos?
There's something else.
This was in the
dumpster with the victims.
Hello.
Okay. Thanks, Kim.
Sure thing.
Drug deal gone bad?
Well, I don't think
a drug dealer
would leave all that behind.
What do you make of it?
I don't know, but I
got a real bad feeling.
What is Tibet really like?
What's it like?
Well, allow me to
answer you with a story.
Many, many years ago,
when I was a young student,
I spent an entire winter
studying at the monastery
high up in the
mountains of Tibet.
Each morning, all of
the monks would wash up
in a small fountain
outside in the courtyard.
Now, one morning,
right after snow had fallen,
a new student arrived
at the monastery.
When he saw them
washing in the fountain,
he asked the master
if the water was cold.
What did the master say?
Nothing.
Nothing?
That's right.
Instead he picked up a
bucket, filled it with water
and dumped it on
the student's head.
He dumped it on his head?
Mm-hm.
But why didn't he just
answer his question?
He did, in the
only way he could.
Because no one can
tell you how something is.
The only way the
student can really know
if the water was cold
was by feeling it himself.
Exactly.
The only way I
can know what Tibet
is really like is to go there.
Of course.
You could always dump a
bucket of water on your head
and see if that helps.
Now, step with your
right foot, this way.
Step with your
left foot, this way.
Now, step with
your right foot again.
You're holding the ball,
like a moon coming out.
That's good, that's good. Now...
Run, now.
No, he is mine.
Go, bring me the boy.
Leave him alone, Chang.
I would think that
you above all others
would know that
that is not possible.
Aah.
You do not have
to be what he was.
It is my destiny.
No, it was his destiny.
It does not have to be yours.
That is a lie.
Aah!
What's the matter, teacher?
Have you no more
lessons to impart?
Only one.
But I fear you are
not yet ready for it.
Aah!
You are not worth killing.
The boy. Where is Davey?
All right, you all set
to go out there now?
How is he?
I don't know.
Think he took some real
good shots back there.
He's asking where Davey is.
Well, it looks like Master Rin
and Davey were
practicing tai chi,
right in this area here.
Three guys came
from that direction.
Two of them chased
Davey that way.
The third one...
Looks like he fought
Master Rin right here.
I'm gonna go look for Davey.
How do you know
they didn't catch him?
I don't.
Oh, thank you, Ranger Trivette.
Hi.
Where's Davey?
It's all right, Walker's
looking for him.
What do you mean,
looking for him?
Where is he?
He's right here.
Davey.
Hey, are you okay? Uh-huh.
Ranger Walker found me.
More like he found me.
Master Rin, are
you gonna be okay?
Yes, Davey.
Now that you have been found,
I am going to be just fine.
Master Rin,
can you tell us what's going on?
Who's hungry? I am.
See you later.
I'm gonna go get
us a little treat, okay?
It is a story that
begins long ago.
At this time,
Lama Dolgin was not
yet a great teacher.
He was a student trying hard
to learn the lessons of Buddha.
There was another
young man in the village.
He took offense
at the inner peace
of Lama Dolgin...
I challenge you.
No, I don't fight.
And challenged him to a fight.
At first, the lama said no.
Chang would not be denied.
He attacked Lama Dolgin.
And though Chang
was a gifted warrior,
the lama defeated him easily.
Chang, humiliated by his defeat
at the hands of the monk,
pulled a short sword
to plunge into his own stomach.
But Lama Dolgin took
the sword from Chang,
and told him he
would not be witness
to such a cowardly act.
Chang fled his
family and his village,
living out the rest
of his life in a slow,
swirling descent into madness.
When Chang finally
did take his own life
many years later,
his last words were
a vow of revenge
against Lama Dolgin.
Wait a minute, he's dead?
He died almost 30 years ago.
But... And now he's been reborn.
Reborn? Wait, this isn't one of
your Cherokee things, is it?
Chang was reborn 25 years ago.
He has spent his whole life
preparing for vengeance.
Now he is ready.
So this Chang guy,
who died 30 years ago,
is trying to kill this
8-year-old boy?
Oh, not kill. Capture.
If Chang were to kill him,
he would only be
postponing the inevitable.
Because the lama
would be reborn again.
Exactly.
Wait, no. You guys
are losing me again.
Chang does not
wish to kill Davey.
He wishes to imprison
and corrupt him.
If he can do so, he
can destroy the lama's
path to enlightenment.
And then Chang's
vow would be fulfilled.
You don't really
believe that stuff?
Well, it doesn't
matter what I believe.
But I do know Davey's in danger.
Hi.
Uh, Susan, until we
get all this cleared up,
I'd like for you and
Davey to stay at the ranch.
Thank you.
Okay, good. Let's go.
Do you think Master
Rin's gonna be okay?
Yeah, he's gonna be fine.
But what if the men
from the park come back?
Well, if they come
back, I'll arrest them.
So don't you worry, now.
Get some sleep.
Good night, Ranger Walker.
Good night, Davey.
Where's the boy?
Freeze.
We are doctors.
We're candy stripers.
Up against the wall.
Go on.
Aah!
That's impossible.
Except for one thing.
What's that?
They did it.
Well, our plan worked,
but we underestimated
them and they got away.
All right, security
checked the parking lot,
the police went through
the rest of the area.
They just disappeared.
But people don't just disappear.
In Tibet, there is a saying:
"The eyes of the hawk
see no food for the dog."
That sounds very Cherokee.
What Master Rin is saying
is that you can't
solve an Eastern riddle
with a Western mind, Trivette.
Yeah, but this is the West.
People don't just
up and disappear
into thin air in the West.
You know, there are many
who say that in the West,
science has become
the only true god.
That it is trusted completely
and its beliefs are
so well-regarded
that they are actually
considered to be laws.
And indeed, it is the
most powerful deity.
The worship of
science and technology
has provided the
West with many things.
But there has been a cost.
A cost? Yes.
For if you wish to
make science a god,
you must first kill magic.
Magic. All right, so
you're saying this is magic.
You believe those
guys just vanished?
What did you see,
Ranger Trivette?
Susan?
Come in.
Hi. Did you sleep well?
I must have.
Where's Davey?
I don't know.
Oh, my God, Walker.
What are we gonna do?
Looks like he's doing fine.
There we go.
Can I ask you something,
Ranger Walker?
Sure.
Do you ever get scared?
Everyone gets scared
sometimes, Davey.
I get scared a lot.
Well, you weren't scared
of that mountain lion.
That was different.
He was friendly.
Have fun.
When I was a young
boy about your age,
my father told me a story
about a young Indian boy
who was afraid of
just about everything.
- Everything?
- Mm-hm.
He was so afraid of everything
that the kids in the village
called him Chicken Boy.
That's mean. Yeah, I know.
But the thing he was
most afraid of was heights.
Me too.
But one day his
grandfather told him a secret.
A secret? Mm-hm.
He told him, to overcome fear,
he has to face it.
So one morning, real early,
he got up before
anyone else did,
went and found the highest
cliff and decided to climb it.
But wasn't he afraid?
Yeah, he sure was at first,
but every step up that cliff,
he got less and less afraid,
until he reached the top.
And when he got to the top,
he wasn't scared anymore?
No, he sure wasn't.
He walked over to the
edge of the cliff, looked down
and saw his village fast asleep.
And then he saw something else.
Something else?
Yeah, he saw an Indian war party
getting ready to
attack the village.
What'd he do?
Well, he yelled as
loud as he could,
but no one could hear him.
So he got back and ran
and jumped right off the cliff.
He jumped? Yeah.
He was hoping that
on the way down,
someone would hear him
screaming and would wake up.
Did they?
Yeah, his grandfather heard him.
And he woke up
the whole village.
Did the boy die?
No.
When the great white eagle saw
just how brave the boy was,
trying to save his village,
he swooped down
and grabbed the boy
before he hit the ground.
Phew.
And when the enemy war party
saw what the great
white eagle did,
they realized that the village
was protected
by the great spirit.
So they made
peace, instead of war.
And I bet the other kids
didn't call him Chicken
Boy anymore, either.
No, they sure didn't.
Susan.
Susan.
Mom?
Stay here, Davey.
Mom?
Susan.
Mom?
Susan.
This is Ranger Walker.
I need an ambulance
at my ranch right away.
Aah!
So this is the vessel whose
womb produced my enemy.
Walker, how do
you know he'll call?
Because he doesn't want
Susan, he wants Davey.
Hello, Walker.
I want the boy.
Let Susan go, Chang.
Bring me the child.
I'm told you're some
kind of a warrior.
I am.
Well, what kind of a warrior
chases young
boys, fights old men
and kidnaps women?
One who knows better
than to let anger
rise up in the face
of your pathetic insults.
The situation is simple, Walker.
Bring me the boy and
the woman goes free.
Fail to bring me the
boy and the woman dies.
I will be in touch.
I'll turn you over to
them if I don't get the boy.
Hah.
Hah. Huh.
Come on.
Now what are you gonna do?
Chang considers himself
some kind of a warrior.
Master Rin, what would happen if
Chang was defeated
in honorable combat?
A shame. Would be as before,
and he would kill himself.
But fighting him
is no easy task.
Years of training,
and a mind twisted with shame,
make him a most
dangerous adversary.
You're not thinking what
I'm thinking you're thinking.
Yeah, I am.
Hello.
Have you considered my offer?
Yeah, I have. You
can have the boy.
I am pleased.
But first you have
to fight me, Chang.
You challenge me?
That's right.
Ranger Walker,
I don't know if you're
brave or merely stupid,
but it makes no difference.
I will kill you either way.
You might not find it
quite that easy, Chang.
I was afraid you might
have had a change of heart.
You got more important
things to worry about, Chang.
You amuse me.
I shall try to make
your death an easy one.
Come, Walker. Meet your destiny.
Aah!
Come on, Walker.
You have learned well, Walker.
Good, Walker, but
not good enough.
You fought bravely,
but now it's over.
Yes.
Aah!
Chang.
It has to be this way.
Forgive me, young master.
This is a gate change,
flight number 24...
Thank you, Ranger Walker.
No thanks needed, Master Rin.
You be good, okay?
I will.
I'm gonna miss you.
Me too, but it's gonna be okay.
Even though I won't be here,
I'll always be with you.
I love you, my son.
Mom, do you like the flowers?

all-Asian, no-parachute
skydiving club,
or somebody did a
number on these guys
like I've never seen before.
Any IDs?
No, but from the
look of their tattoos,
I can tell you one thing.
They weren't choirboys.
Tattoos?
There's something else.
This was in the
dumpster with the victims.
Hello.
Okay. Thanks, Kim.
Sure thing.
Drug deal gone bad?
Well, I don't think
a drug dealer
would leave all that behind.
What do you make of it?
I don't know, but I
got a real bad feeling.
What is Tibet really like?
What's it like?
Well, allow me to
answer you with a story.
Many, many years ago,
when I was a young student,
I spent an entire winter
studying at the monastery
high up in the
mountains of Tibet.
Each morning, all of
the monks would wash up
in a small fountain
outside in the courtyard.
Now, one morning,
right after snow had fallen,
a new student arrived
at the monastery.
When he saw them
washing in the fountain,
he asked the master
if the water was cold.
What did the master say?
Nothing.
Nothing?
That's right.
Instead he picked up a
bucket, filled it with water
and dumped it on
the student's head.
He dumped it on his head?
Mm-hm.
But why didn't he just
answer his question?
He did, in the
only way he could.
Because no one can
tell you how something is.
The only way the
student can really know
if the water was cold
was by feeling it himself.
Exactly.
The only way I
can know what Tibet
is really like is to go there.
Of course.
You could always dump a
bucket of water on your head
and see if that helps.
Now, step with your
right foot, this way.
Step with your
left foot, this way.
Now, step with
your right foot again.
You're holding the ball,
like a moon coming out.
That's good, that's good. Now...
Run, now.
No, he is mine.
Go, bring me the boy.
Leave him alone, Chang.
I would think that
you above all others
would know that
that is not possible.
Aah.
You do not have
to be what he was.
It is my destiny.
No, it was his destiny.
It does not have to be yours.
That is a lie.
Aah!
What's the matter, teacher?
Have you no more
lessons to impart?
Only one.
But I fear you are
not yet ready for it.
Aah!
You are not worth killing.
The boy. Where is Davey?
All right, you all set
to go out there now?
How is he?
I don't know.
Think he took some real
good shots back there.
He's asking where Davey is.
Well, it looks like Master Rin
and Davey were
practicing tai chi,
right in this area here.
Three guys came
from that direction.
Two of them chased
Davey that way.
The third one...
Looks like he fought
Master Rin right here.
I'm gonna go look for Davey.
How do you know
they didn't catch him?
I don't.
Oh, thank you, Ranger Trivette.
Hi.
Where's Davey?
It's all right, Walker's
looking for him.
What do you mean,
looking for him?
Where is he?
He's right here.
Davey.
Hey, are you okay? Uh-huh.
Ranger Walker found me.
More like he found me.
Master Rin, are
you gonna be okay?
Yes, Davey.
Now that you have been found,
I am going to be just fine.
Master Rin,
can you tell us what's going on?
Who's hungry? I am.
See you later.
I'm gonna go get
us a little treat, okay?
It is a story that
begins long ago.
At this time,
Lama Dolgin was not
yet a great teacher.
He was a student trying hard
to learn the lessons of Buddha.
There was another
young man in the village.
He took offense
at the inner peace
of Lama Dolgin...
I challenge you.
No, I don't fight.
And challenged him to a fight.
At first, the lama said no.
Chang would not be denied.
He attacked Lama Dolgin.
And though Chang
was a gifted warrior,
the lama defeated him easily.
Chang, humiliated by his defeat
at the hands of the monk,
pulled a short sword
to plunge into his own stomach.
But Lama Dolgin took
the sword from Chang,
and told him he
would not be witness
to such a cowardly act.
Chang fled his
family and his village,
living out the rest
of his life in a slow,
swirling descent into madness.
When Chang finally
did take his own life
many years later,
his last words were
a vow of revenge
against Lama Dolgin.
Wait a minute, he's dead?
He died almost 30 years ago.
But... And now he's been reborn.
Reborn? Wait, this isn't one of
your Cherokee things, is it?
Chang was reborn 25 years ago.
He has spent his whole life
preparing for vengeance.
Now he is ready.
So this Chang guy,
who died 30 years ago,
is trying to kill this
8-year-old boy?
Oh, not kill. Capture.
If Chang were to kill him,
he would only be
postponing the inevitable.
Because the lama
would be reborn again.
Exactly.
Wait, no. You guys
are losing me again.
Chang does not
wish to kill Davey.
He wishes to imprison
and corrupt him.
If he can do so, he
can destroy the lama's
path to enlightenment.
And then Chang's
vow would be fulfilled.
You don't really
believe that stuff?
Well, it doesn't
matter what I believe.
But I do know Davey's in danger.
Hi.
Uh, Susan, until we
get all this cleared up,
I'd like for you and
Davey to stay at the ranch.
Thank you.
Okay, good. Let's go.
Do you think Master
Rin's gonna be okay?
Yeah, he's gonna be fine.
But what if the men
from the park come back?
Well, if they come
back, I'll arrest them.
So don't you worry, now.
Get some sleep.
Good night, Ranger Walker.
Good night, Davey.
Where's the boy?
Freeze.
We are doctors.
We're candy stripers.
Up against the wall.
Go on.
Aah!
That's impossible.
Except for one thing.
What's that?
They did it.
Well, our plan worked,
but we underestimated
them and they got away.
All right, security
checked the parking lot,
the police went through
the rest of the area.
They just disappeared.
But people don't just disappear.
In Tibet, there is a saying:
"The eyes of the hawk
see no food for the dog."
That sounds very Cherokee.
What Master Rin is saying
is that you can't
solve an Eastern riddle
with a Western mind, Trivette.
Yeah, but this is the West.
People don't just
up and disappear
into thin air in the West.
You know, there are many
who say that in the West,
science has become
the only true god.
That it is trusted completely
and its beliefs are
so well-regarded
that they are actually
considered to be laws.
And indeed, it is the
most powerful deity.
The worship of
science and technology
has provided the
West with many things.
But there has been a cost.
A cost? Yes.
For if you wish to
make science a god,
you must first kill magic.
Magic. All right, so
you're saying this is magic.
You believe those
guys just vanished?
What did you see,
Ranger Trivette?
Susan?
Come in.
Hi. Did you sleep well?
I must have.
Where's Davey?
I don't know.
Oh, my God, Walker.
What are we gonna do?
Looks like he's doing fine.
There we go.
Can I ask you something,
Ranger Walker?
Sure.
Do you ever get scared?
Everyone gets scared
sometimes, Davey.
I get scared a lot.
Well, you weren't scared
of that mountain lion.
That was different.
He was friendly.
Have fun.
When I was a young
boy about your age,
my father told me a story
about a young Indian boy
who was afraid of
just about everything.
- Everything?
- Mm-hm.
He was so afraid of everything
that the kids in the village
called him Chicken Boy.
That's mean. Yeah, I know.
But the thing he was
most afraid of was heights.
Me too.
But one day his
grandfather told him a secret.
A secret? Mm-hm.
He told him, to overcome fear,
he has to face it.
So one morning, real early,
he got up before
anyone else did,
went and found the highest
cliff and decided to climb it.
But wasn't he afraid?
Yeah, he sure was at first,
but every step up that cliff,
he got less and less afraid,
until he reached the top.
And when he got to the top,
he wasn't scared anymore?
No, he sure wasn't.
He walked over to the
edge of the cliff, looked down
and saw his village fast asleep.
And then he saw something else.
Something else?
Yeah, he saw an Indian war party
getting ready to
attack the village.
What'd he do?
Well, he yelled as
loud as he could,
but no one could hear him.
So he got back and ran
and jumped right off the cliff.
He jumped? Yeah.
He was hoping that
on the way down,
someone would hear him
screaming and would wake up.
Did they?
Yeah, his grandfather heard him.
And he woke up
the whole village.
Did the boy die?
No.
When the great white eagle saw
just how brave the boy was,
trying to save his village,
he swooped down
and grabbed the boy
before he hit the ground.
Phew.
And when the enemy war party
saw what the great
white eagle did,
they realized that the village
was protected
by the great spirit.
So they made
peace, instead of war.
And I bet the other kids
didn't call him Chicken
Boy anymore, either.
No, they sure didn't.
Susan.
Susan.
Mom?
Stay here, Davey.
Mom?
Susan.
Mom?
Susan.
This is Ranger Walker.
I need an ambulance
at my ranch right away.
Aah!
So this is the vessel whose
womb produced my enemy.
Walker, how do
you know he'll call?
Because he doesn't want
Susan, he wants Davey.
Hello, Walker.
I want the boy.
Let Susan go, Chang.
Bring me the child.
I'm told you're some
kind of a warrior.
I am.
Well, what kind of a warrior
chases young
boys, fights old men
and kidnaps women?
One who knows better
than to let anger
rise up in the face
of your pathetic insults.
The situation is simple, Walker.
Bring me the boy and
the woman goes free.
Fail to bring me the
boy and the woman dies.
I will be in touch.
I'll turn you over to
them if I don't get the boy.
Hah.
Hah. Huh.
Come on.
Now what are you gonna do?
Chang considers himself
some kind of a warrior.
Master Rin, what would happen if
Chang was defeated
in honorable combat?
A shame. Would be as before,
and he would kill himself.
But fighting him
is no easy task.
Years of training,
and a mind twisted with shame,
make him a most
dangerous adversary.
You're not thinking what
I'm thinking you're thinking.
Yeah, I am.
Hello.
Have you considered my offer?
Yeah, I have. You
can have the boy.
I am pleased.
But first you have
to fight me, Chang.
You challenge me?
That's right.
Ranger Walker,
I don't know if you're
brave or merely stupid,
but it makes no difference.
I will kill you either way.
You might not find it
quite that easy, Chang.
I was afraid you might
have had a change of heart.
You got more important
things to worry about, Chang.
You amuse me.
I shall try to make
your death an easy one.
Come, Walker. Meet your destiny.
Aah!
Come on, Walker.
You have learned well, Walker.
Good, Walker, but
not good enough.
You fought bravely,
but now it's over.
Yes.
Aah!
Chang.
It has to be this way.
Forgive me, young master.
This is a gate change,
flight number 24...
Thank you, Ranger Walker.
No thanks needed, Master Rin.
You be good, okay?
I will.
I'm gonna miss you.
Me too, but it's gonna be okay.
Even though I won't be here,
I'll always be with you.
I love you, my son.
