Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 5, Episode 11 - Lucky - full transcript

Good boy.

Lucky, come on.

That'll be it for you?

Yeah. That'll cover it. Thanks.

Come on, Lucky.

"To my dearest daughter Sarah,

"I hope your birthday
is as special as you.

"Sorry I can't be there
to share it with you.

"But between
running the business

"and keeping up the house,

"it seems impossible
to find... the time."

Like you never tell a lie?

Let us gather all this stuff up

and take it out
there to the house.

Now, I made some
loose assignments.

Alex, I'd kind of like for you
to greet the homeless people

and make them feel good.
You know what I mean.

Sure, C.D.

Beside that,
you're the prettiest.

Cordell, will you take over
the barbecue and chili pit?

Right.

Barbecue and chili pits.

What kind of
Thanksgiving is that?

A Texas kind.

There's nothing
Baltimore-ish about it.

Father, you have
done one hell of a job.

Every business between
here and the border

contributed as
much as they could.

Hey, getting these people
back on their feet and working

is something everybody
wanted to support.

Father Blake.

Hey, Big Dog, what
am I in charge of?

You're vice president
in charge of small items.

Okay.

Small items? Dishes?

I see.

Anything wrong?

Oh, there have
been some problems

with the property for
the job-training center.

Problems?

Now, it's nothing
I can't handle.

I'll get the homeless
that job-training center.

Okay. If you need
my help, let me know.

You can count on it.

He's right over here, Father.

I don't know what's
wrong with him,

but he said he needed some help.

He mentioned your name,

so I figured maybe you and
he was friends or something.

He's right over here,
Father. Right over here.

You, uh, you go on ahead.

Hey, are you all right?

I'm good.

Thanks for asking.

Wait a minute. What is this?

Ah, you should have backed
off when you had the chance.

Ugh!

Sorry, padre.

Business is business.

Hey, what are you guys doing?

Get him off of me!

Ow.

Let's get out of here.

♪ In the eyes of a Ranger ♪

♪ The unsuspecting stranger ♪

♪ Had better know the truth ♪

♪ Of wrong from right ♪

♪ 'Cause the eyes
Of the Ranger ♪

♪ Are upon you ♪

♪ Any wrong you
do He's gonna see ♪

Can you step back?
Step back, please.

We have an injured
person. Please.

Fractured his skull.

We got no witnesses,
except somebody said

they saw two homeless
men running from here.

Homeless?

That's what they said.

So how's the dog?

Uh, he's got a little
cut on his head.

He'll be okay.

Okay.

Hey, boy, did you do this?

What's up?

Well, this was torn
off of somebody's shirt,

so maybe we have a witness here.

There goes your witness.

Yeah.

This where you live, boy?

"Sarah Coolidge.

143 Elm Street."

"J. Belmont."

Well, boy... if you
saw what happened,

maybe your master did too.

Let's go find him.

Come on.

Hey, hey. Hey, get off the car.

No problem, Mr. Chadwick.

Thought you guys were
supposed to be the best.

Look, I'm paying you
a hell of a lot of money

to take care of this for me.

I do not appreciate
the loose ends.

Look, we'll take care
of that homeless man.

And if the priest comes to,

we'll take him out for good.

I do not want to have this
discussion with you again.

You won't, Mr. Chadwick.

Hey, that's my bagel.

Thanks, doctor. Let me
know if there's any change.

How's Father Blake?

Still unconscious.

Anything on the envelope?

Address. No city. No zip code.

A zillion Elm Streets, man.

It's like looking for a
needle in a haystack.

When we get the information
back off the dog tags,

maybe we'll have
a place to start.

Came in from Forensics.

No fingerprints on the 2-by-4.

At C.D.'s, Father Blake got a
phone call. Remember that?

Mm-hm.

You think you can trace it?

It was a cellular.
Yeah, I can get at it.

Yeah, he said something
about having some problems

with the property
for the homeless.

Why don't you see
if you can find out

if anyone else was
interested in that property.

Sure thing.

What are you gonna do?

Well, I'm gonna try
to find J. Belmont.

Come on, boy.

Be still. I'm almost
through now.

Put your hand there.

Ow.

Being stuck by you is
worse than getting shot.

Well, thank you.

Almost finished?

Ah, quit whining.

There you go.

Better rest now,

you'll be out
dancing in the street.

Yeah. Your family still in town?

Yeah, here on the
other side of town.

Yeah? You see them?

I see them driving
by, but sometime...

Mostly, they just keep
on driving like I'm invisible.

That's what I gotta be,

maybe a little invisible. Ooh!

Hey, hey, whoa.

Hold up there, huh?

Better get you some rest here.

Ah, I gotta go find Lucky.

He's gonna be scared.

Yeah. Sorry I can't get
you nothin' for the pain.

Yeah, me too.

Thanks, Doc.

You think he'll come back here?

No, but I figured we
need a place to start.

Looking through his
shack ought to be one.

Good idea, except for one thing.

The shack ain't there no more.

Fine time for city
beautification, huh?

Yeah.

J. Belmont. Ever heard of him?

Have you seen this dog before?

Oh, wait. Oh, wait a minute.

You're that... You're
that Texas Ranger fella.

I know you. You're, uh...

Walker. That's
right. Walker, yeah.

I knew I knew you.

What's your name? Arty.

Nice to meet you, Arty.

Nice to meet you.

This is Ranger Walker.

He's a friend of Father Blake.

How's he doing?

He's holding his own.

Oh, he's a great
man, that Father Blake.

Have they got the
guys that done it yet?

Uh, not yet.

Arty, do you know a guy
by the name of J. Belmont?

I think he owns this dog.

J. Belmont... Gee,
I'm sorry, Ranger.

I-I never heard of
anyone named J. Belmont.

Oh, excuse me.

Lewis doesn't like to talk much.

Lewis told me he
doesn't know nothin'

about any J. Belmont.

But... But that dog,

he says that dog
belongs to a fella

that calls himself Soldier.

Soldier? Yeah.

Uh, Lewis says he lives

right over near where
Father Blake got hurt.

Hm. When's the last
time Lewis saw him?

Uh...

He... He says he hasn't
seen him in a couple of days.

But he told me something else.

What's that?

He told me that
this fella, Soldier,

he's kind of an odd one.

He... He keeps
pretty much to himself,

but he told me that
he really loves that dog,

and they're inseparable.

And he said, if you ever see
them and they're not together,

something bad must
have happened to him.

Okay. Thanks, Arty, Lewis.

Oh, Ranger?

Yeah?

You know, I wasn't
always like this.

I used to be somebody.

You still are, Arty.

Lucky?

Lucky?

Lucky, here, boy.

Where's my home?

He goes by the name
of Soldier on the street,

but his real name
is Jack Belmont.

Jack Belmont.

Yeah. Does that ring a bell?

No, I can't get a finger on it.

Trivette.

Yeah. He was with the
2nd Division in Korea,

back in '51 and '52.

Huh. That's when I was there.

That's my old outfit.
Let me see that.

Yeah.

Hm.

Inchon, Panmunjom, Pusan.

Why, this could be my folder.

Except lookie here.

MacArthur gave
him the Silver Star.

Why, this old boy's
a bona fide hero.

Shame an old boy like that
gets decorated by his country

and has to sleep on the street.

Yeah, it sure is.

Got the number on the
guy that called Father Blake.

Chadwick. Clark Chadwick.

The contractor?

Real-estate developer.

You fellas know this guy?

Yeah, we've investigated
this guy before.

Strong-arm stuff, but
nothing ever stuck.

Had his eye on some property

that Father Blake
was planning to use

for a job-training center.

I don't get this.

If Chadwick wanted the property,
why doesn't he just buy it?

Father Blake couldn't
have paid that much for it.

Father Blake didn't
pay anything for it.

It was a gift. He's
not going to sell it

to some big shot like Chadwick

because he wants a job-training
center for the homeless.

Looks like Father Blake's heart

is just a little bit bigger
than Chadwick's wallet.

Well, right now, we've
got to find Jack Belmont.

Art, we need an answer.

Um, Toledo, Clark.

Toledo. Is that
your final answer?

Yes, Toledo.

Let's see.

No, go ahead.

We're looking for a homeless
guy used to live around here.

Old guy, had a dog.

What you want him for?

Hey, no problem.

Ain't none of my business.

I'm okay with that.

Yeah.

Put word on the street, huh?

Whoever helps me
find him gets five large.

You're laying out
$5,000 to find this guy?

Whoo.

He's as good as got.

We need help over
here! Get a medic!

Help! We need a medic over here!

What is it, boy? Huh?

What's the matter?

Go back to sleep.

Go on. Lay down.

Soldier.

It's all right, man.

It's all right, Soldier.

Everything gonna be all right.

It's never gonna be all right.

Nightmares again?

Sometimes it helps to
talk about these things.

I'm no psychologist,

but I'm a hell of
a good listener.

Why don't you tell me
what happened over there?

Okay, I'll tell you.

My platoon was
on a routine patrol.

We got caught in a crossfire.

No place to run or hide.

Kids kept going down
around me, screaming.

Then a grenade goes off.

I get up.

There's a buddy from high
school laying on top of me

with eyes open.

So... when I get back,

they give me a
chest full of medals,

which I never felt.

All I remember is screams.

Why me, Doc?

Why was I... left alive?

Who do I owe?

Can't no man
answer that, Soldier.

Nobody but God.

Well, boy, let's go
find Soldier, huh?

Hey.

That's the guy Weasel
was talking about.

All we gotta do is
bring him to Weasel,

and he'll give us each 50 bucks.

Hey! Hey, you! Come here!

Come here!

Come on, boy.

Come on.

Come on.

What is it?

Lucky.

Are you Lucky?

All right. Okay.

Well, Lucky,

let's go find Doc
at St. Stephen's.

Come on. Come on,
let's move it up here now.

A little closer. Keep coming.
- Move it, buddy.

You wanna eat, stay in line.

I don't know how
long it's gonna take.

You'll get it.

Get in there. Let's go.

Hey, what you doing with Lucky?

Do you know Lucky's
owner? That's Soldier's dog.

Here, boy.

Know where I can find Soldier?

Soldier in some kind of trouble?

No, no trouble. I
just need to find him.

Can't help you, Ranger.

I'm sorry I can't help
you, I wish I could.

I really do, but,
Soldier, you know,

he put a way of
keeping to himself

and I haven't seen him
around in a couple of days.

How about Doc? Oh,
yeah, Doc's been around.

You might want to check inside.
- Let's go.

Okay, thanks a lot.

Hey, that dog can't go in there.

This dog can.

Why, hi there, Lucky.

How you doin'? Where's Soldier?

That's what I'm
trying to find out.

You have any idea
where I can find him?

Haven't seen him
in a couple of days.

Have we, Tom? Mm-hm.

How about Doc? WOMAN:
Anybody here seen Doc?

No. MAN 2: I haven't seen Doc.

Okay, thanks a lot.

Come on, Lucky, let's go.

Pick it up.

It isn't mine.

I didn't say that, I
just said pick it up.

You pick it up.

What'd you say?

I said, you pick it up.

That's all right,
I'll pick it up.

Get your hands off of me.

Stay, Lucky.

You like to slap people?

Let's see if I like it.

Aah! Ugh.

Oh.

Who are these guys?

Ex-cons on work release.

Hear you been looking for Doc.

That's right, I am.

You found him.

Heard about what
happened to Father Blake.

He a friend of yours?

Yeah, he is.

Word on the street is
he's not gonna make it.

Well, he's got a pretty
big fella in his corner.

You're right about that.

Father Blake, he helped these
people out around here a lot.

Lord knows they can use
all the help they can get.

My, my, my.

He's set up in here.

We call it the Taj Mahal.

Hey, Soldier?

Hey, you old goat,
come on out of there, boy.

Got somebody that
wanna meet you.

Hey, Soldier?

Hey!

Lucky, you're back.

Hey, boy, are you okay?

Did you find him?

Not exactly.

But I found somebody who can.

Where exactly can
we find this Doc?

Well, uh... Ahem.

I hate to mention it, but, uh,

there is a question of,
uh, you know, money.

Don't you worry about the money.

Now, you give us the
info, and you'll get paid.

Uh... Well, he's, uh... Ahem.

He's got himself a place
next to the dumpster

near the hospital.

Good, good. Pay the man.

Ugh.

Hey, C.D., we want to thank you

for letting us use
your spare room.

Well, if a veteran can't
do it for a veteran...

Hey, look at you two.

Who... Who is it?
We're looking for Doc.

What you want? It's my friend,

he's hurting bad.

What's the matter with him?

He's just got a bad pain. Where?

Here!

Why would they beat up
on a man like Father Blake,

a decent fellow?

Yeah, I know what you mean.

You think you can ID those guys?

Sure I can.

I might be a little batty,
but I still got 20-20.

You think they're still around?

I don't know. If they
are, Cordell will find them.

But he may need your
testimony to put 'em away.

Well, you can count on me.

I don't like people pushing
other people around.

Oh, my goodness.

Like, somebody
needs to go for a walk.

No, I'm okay.

Oh, you mean him. Yeah.

Come on, now.

Oh, boy.

You got any children?

Yeah, I got a daughter.

Stay in touch with her?

No.

She deserves a lot
better than I can give.

Well, maybe she could help.

Listen, C.D.

I appreciate your
concern, I really do.

I just don't want her
worrying over me.

I figure I owe her
that much, at least.

Maybe you just
owe her the truth.

The truth?

I could've sent her a
birthday card saying:

"Dear Sarah, I hope
you have a good day.

"I'm having a great week
fishing cans out of the garbage

to feed the dog and me."

Look, C.D., in this world,

sometimes, uh, the truth
ain't hardly a kindness.

Where is he? I told you.

I ain't telling you diddlysquat.

Oh, no, no, no, Doc.

You'll tell us.

And you'll tell us everything.

It's all the way you combine
the potatoes and meat.

Did you get plenty?

Oh, sure. Good, good.

Big Dog?

Yeah. Now, come on in, Jimmy.

What's wrong?

Soldier.

I got some bad news.

They found Doc this morning.

Beaten to death.

Good Lord.

I want all of this
done by tomorrow.

We're behind schedule.

You got that? Yes, sir.

Good.

Oh, great.

Ranger Walker,
it's been a while.

Not long enough, Chadwick.

What do you want, Walker?

Well, your hit men
made a mistake.

They left a witness,
and I've got him.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

You will when I catch 'em.

And believe me, I will.

Then I'm coming after you.

You know, Walker,
one of these days

you're gonna end
up in a situation

where that badge
isn't gonna protect you.

You're all wrong
about that, Chadwick.

The only thing protecting
you is this badge.

You get off of my property.

Aah!

Hey! Hey!

Get him!

Ugh! MAN: Yeah, come on.

Aah! Ugh.

Oh-ho!

Ugh.

Aah!

Ugh!

Get him.

You get him.

Wimp.

Trivette.

Trivette, I think I just
pushed Chadwick's button.

Bring Soldier down.

Is that them?

I think so.

Gotta get closer.

Okay, let's get closer.

Stay, Lucky.

Hold up, you two.

Turn around.

Soldier?

Yeah, they're the guys.

You are a dead man.

I've been dead a long time, son.

Come on.

Feds have been after
these guys for years,

but every time they've
managed to get something on 'em,

the witnesses have disappeared.

Thanks to you, these fellas
are right where they belong.

See? Once a hero, always a hero.

Where's Walker? He
should've been here by now.

Um, he's... He's
attending to something.

Some business.

Oh.

C.D. ain't right,
because I ain't no hero.

I left them men laying
out there on the field.

Much better, and
they're all dead.

And it happens every place I go.

And I don't want
it no more, Lucky.

I don't want it no more, okay?

C.D. will take care of you.

You watch over him
like you do me, okay?

Do you have any idea
why Soldier took off?

Yep, it was my fault.
All the damn war talk.

No, come on, you
opened your home to him.

You did all you could, Big Dog.

We've gotta find him, otherwise
these guys are gonna be gone.

No, I'm not so sure.

They know that
Soldier can identify him.

As long as he's alive, he
can testify against them.

That's it. They'll go after him.

Jimmy, you'd better
find this guy now.

Yeah, Trivette.

He did?

All right, I'm right on it.

Got a line on where Soldier is.

Come on.

Hey, Soldier.

All right, Lucky.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on, boy.

Let's go find Soldier.

You seen Soldier?
Up them stairs.

Soldier?

Get him out of here.

Go, boy, get outta here.

Go!

Don't come any closer, Trivette.

Come on, now, you
don't wanna do that.

All I got.

It's a nightmare.

Yeah, you just need a
little help now, don't you?

It's too late for that.

Now give me some dignity.

- Turn your back.
- Hold on, Soldier.

Look, I got somebody
coming that wants to see you.

Please, man. There's
no one I wanna see.

Not even me, Daddy?

I've imagined this
moment a thousand times.

It's really you.

I found you.

Daddy, look at me.

Let it be, Sarah.

Please, honey, I
can't take no more.

I've been looking
for you all my life.

If you think I could
let it be, I can't.

Daddy.

Daddy, remember
when I was a little girl

and you used to hold
me on your shoulder?

And I'd be so proud, and...

You said you would
always be there.

That you would never leave me.

I remember too much, baby.

My friends keep
dying over and over.

It wasn't your time.

You were needed at home.

In the Bible, Isaiah says:

The living, the living.

He thanks thee,
as I do this day.

There's nothing left, baby.

You've got your love, Daddy.

That's all I need.

Please, Daddy, come home.

I can't, Sarah.

I really can't.

Does this mean Ashley will
never know her grandfather?

Whoa, oh.

Phew.

Looks like your ma.

I love you, Daddy.

Thanks, dude.

Happy Thanksgiving, now.

Yeah, looks like
this is gonna work.

You bet.

Get you some more
of them ribs. All right.

Yes, sir.

Hey, Ron, how you doing?

Come on, Eddie, eat
'em up, baby. Eat 'em up.

Come on, Danny, you
can do better than that.

I don't want nothing
left here. Eat 'em up.

Well, padre, it looks like this
is gonna be a reality for you.

Thanks to Soldier,
and all you folks.

Yeah.

The hit men gave up Chadwick.

He's already been
taken into custody.

All right, something
else to be thankful for.

Oh, Soldier.

Hey, everybody.

Look, we couldn't leave
without saying goodbye.

We've decided to take him
back to Pennsylvania with us.

He's agreed.

Ah, terrific.

Thank you for bringing
him back home to us.

Well, it's God's will, Sarah.

Well, I'll thank
him in my prayers,

but you get a kiss.

Thanks.

Thank you, Walker.

Okay, everybody, take it easy.
- All right.

Hey, Jack, you're
not about to leave.

We've got to feed you
some of this Texas barbecue.

Jimmy, cut up some of
this brisket for him, will you?

Yeah, come on, let's go eat.

Let's eat.

There you go, you're welcome.

Right.

One for you two.

One for you, and one for you.

One for me.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Hey, happy Thanksgiving, y'all.

Say, aren't we missing someone?

Hm?

Hey.
