Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 5, Episode 7 - Codename: Dragonfly - full transcript

I'm with Global Tech Armaments.

I'm here to supervise
tomorrow's demonstration.

Sir.

Halt.

Gentlemen, relax.

Excuse me, sir. This
is a restricted area.

You must leave immediately.

Oh, I understand that,

but, uh, I have a
special clearance.

I'm sorry, sir. Under the
orders of General Garrity,

all clearances have
been revoked until 0800.

Well, I just wanted to make sure

that our baby's prepped for
tomorrow's demonstration.

Preparations were
completed one hour ago.

Now, please, sir.

If you do not leave immediately,

we will be forced to
take you under custody.

What is your name, Marine?

Sergeant Baker, sir.

Well, Sergeant Baker,
you're doing a fine job.

And I will personally make sure
that General Garrity knows that.

Thank you, sir. Have
a good day, gentlemen.

- Stop the chopper!
- Shut it down right now!

Don't move! Stay there!

Think about it, gentlemen.

Are you really ready
to die for your country?

Fire!

Fall back! Fall back!

Good call.

I don't know, Big Dog.

Alex said she wanted to
spend a quiet night at home.

She said she
didn't want a party.

Jimmy, what you know about women

could be put in a
flea's bellybutton

with plenty of room left for a
bowl of chili and a six-pack.

What I know about women. Yep.

Are you saying I don't
know anything about women?

Exactly.

Listen... Hey, guys.

Is everything all set for
Alex's surprise birthday party?

What is with you guys?

Alex specifically said she
didn't wanna have a birthday...

Hi.

Alex said what?

Bye, Alex.

What are you two talking about?

Alex, we're just
trying to tell Jimmy

a little bit about how to
deal with the fairer sex.

You two are teaching
him about women?

Yeah. Absolutely.

Hey, what's that
supposed to mean?

Oh, nothing, Romeo.

That was HQ.
General Garrity called.

General Garrity?

Yeah. He said there
was a code blue

out at the old military
base in Mesquite.

Well, what's that mean, Walker?

Well, if it's code
blue... It can't be good.

You're right.

I'm sorry to call you
in on this, captain,

and believe me, I wouldn't have

unless I considered it to
be the utmost importance,

or if I thought there was
nobody else that could help.

What's this all about, general?

It's Randy Shrader.

General, who is Randy Shrader?

Up until June of
1972, I considered him

the second-best
Marine I had ever met.

What happened in June of '72?

You wanna tell him, captain?

Crescent Moon.

By '72, the war had turned.

We were already
beginning to pull out,

and our first consideration
was to make sure

that we left nobody behind.

POWs? GARRITY: Yeah.

Crescent Moon was supposed
to be a fairly ordinary op.

Recon a possible North
Vietnamese POW camp,

bring back the coordinates.

Routine operation.

That's the way it started.

Walker went in with
a team of six men,

all good Marines.

Randy Shrader volunteered
to chopper them in to the LZ.

Come back. Come back.

Come back!

Shrader left them there to die.

Walker was the only
one to come out alive.

Three bullet wounds

and a three-month
stay in the hospital.

We found out later
that the NVA had placed

a $100,000 price
tag on his head.

And Randy Shrader
figured to collect on it?

That's about the size of it.

And when Walker
came out of the hospital,

he went looking for Shrader
in every hellhole in Saigon.

Shrader left nothing
but a trail of death.

Walker, did you ever find him?

I looked for him for years,

but he just disappeared.

Until now.

Well, if you couldn't find him,

he must be real
good at disappearing.

Yeah, and he just got better.

Okay, old girl,

let's see if you're as
good as they say you are.

Anything going on?

I hate days like this.

I mean, look at that.

There isn't any
air traffic at all

within 30 miles of this place.

Molly wanted me to call in sick,

take her and the
boys to the lake. Yeah?

I told her we were
gonna be too busy.

Holy mother of... What?

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

The following is a test.

It is only a test.

If it wasn't a test,
you'd both be dead.

Have a good day.

I never even heard him.

He wasn't even on the radar.

General, what
exactly is Dragonfly?

Gentlemen, meet the VHA 12.

Codename: Dragonfly.

ATGMs.

Anti-tank guidance missiles.

Now laser-guided. Each one
capable of taking out a tank

at a distance of over ten miles.

Twenty-millimeter.

Heat-seeking?

Yeah. And 6000
rounds per minute.

If this baby locks
on you, you're dead.

So it's an attack chopper?

Well, I'm sure this old girl
would do well in a firefight,

but that's not what
makes her special.

The A-to-Z x-ray, also
known as whisper mode.

Makes her as quiet as a cat.

And a new rubberized
sheathing substance

for the fuselage and the cabin.

How much does it
reduce radar signature?

Just a bit over 97 percent.

You could set this baby
down on the White House lawn

and nobody would
know you were there

till you walked up to
the door, knocked on it,

and asked to borrow
a cup of sugar.

And this Shrader guy's got her.

And we gotta get her back.

We saw how good you are.

Now let's see how good I am.

Yes.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

Garrity.

Yeah.

Keep me posted.

Shrader just buzzed
the control tower

out near Weatherford,

and their radar system
didn't even pick him up

before, during, or after.

He's testing her.

It sounds like she passed.

What's the range on Dragonfly?

Well, with her fuel tanks
full, it's, uh, nearly 3000 miles.

That means she could be anywhere
between L.A. and New York,

and Mexico and Canada.

Well, wherever she is,

she's damn near invisible.

No, amigo.

You... You don't understand.

Our business is a
relationships business.

Uh-huh. And every
time one of our shipments

does not reach its destination,

that strains our relationships.

Uh-huh.

With this new
toy, as you call it,

that will no longer
be the problem.

Ah. I'll call you tomorrow with
details on the next shipment.

Uh-huh.

Querida, you have magical hands.

Two tours of duty in Vietnam,

decorated for bravery
and the Silver Star.

I'm not getting something
here. What happened?

Why would Shrader
do something like that?

When we catch
him, you can ask him.

Is Dragonfly all
they said she was?

Heh. Pull!

That and more.

Then even at 2
million she's a bargain.

Pull!

With the Dragonfly
and, of course,

someone who
knows how to use her,

you can extend your network
throughout the United States.

We can ship whatever, whenever,

and no one will ever
be able to stop us.

My brother will be very pleased.

Yeah, we're picking
him up tomorrow, right?

No, there's been
a change in plans.

Ramon had to go to the
hospital for some tests.

He won't be out until
the middle of next week.

In the meantime, we have her.

Why don't we use her?

Why not?

Hey, Walker.

Come check out what I
got from these access codes

General Garrity gave you.

Stuff's the real deal, man.

See what you can pull
up on Randy Shrader.

All right. Mercenary
work in South Africa,

Afghanistan, Tibet.

Links to terrorist organizations
in the Middle East.

And then he seems
to have decided

on a career change.

For the past ten years,
he's been linked to one, two...

Three major drug cartels
in Asia and South America.

So that's where he's been.

Not one arrest. Not even so
much as a confirmed sighting.

This guy's almost as
good at being a criminal

as you are at being a cop.

All right. It's all there.

Let's go, boys.

Here you go.

That ought to take
care of him for good.

Hey. Hey.

You know what? Thanks. You
know, it's been almost a week,

and we haven't heard
word one from this guy.

We will.

What is that, your
Cherokee intuition?

No, I know Shrader.

Let me ask you, how
much do you think

one of those Dragonflies
goes for on the black market?

That's hard to say.

A stealth helicopter

that can go anywhere
it wants undetected.

I'd say 60, $70 million.

What? If he wanted to sell it.

You don't think Shrader
wants to sell Dragonfly?

No. Well, then
why did he steal it?

Well, you said he's been
working with the drug cartels.

Dragonfly would be
a great asset to them.

Oh, yeah. I'll tell
you what, Trivette.

Why don't you contact the
local and federal authorities?

Make them aware of
Dragonfly. You got it.

This is team
leader. Report. Out.

Red team, check.

Blue team, check.

Green team, check.

Purple team, check.

We wait for the
transaction to happen

and then we take 'em all down.

Holy.

Gentlemen, looks
like it's showtime.

Remember to wait for my go.

Come on, let's go.

There you go.

Go.

Drop your weapons
and stay where you are.

I repeat, drop your weapon.

You guys have
gotta be kidding me.

You wanna play?

Let's play.

Let's get out of here.

Let's get out of here.

This is awful.

You know, if Shrader's
using Dragonfly

to transport drugs
for one of the cartels,

it's gonna be near
impossible to stop him.

Señor, I don't understand.

Your mission went well.

What it was was a trap.

A trap which only served

to prove Dragonfly's
invincibility.

No, it was a trap that
cost me two of my rockets

and half of my ammo.

Relax, señor, relax.

If we need missiles
and ammunition,

we'll get them.

In America, they say,
"Money can't buy love."

But it can buy everything else.

These photos were
recovered from the scene.

We've identified both of
these men as low-level dealers

affiliated with the
Vega Garcia drug cartel

operating out of Mexico.

Del Vega Garcia cartel?

I thought they were
out of business.

They were.

Ramon Lopez del Vega Garcia.

Both the brains and the
brawn behind the cartel.

I arrested him two years ago
here in Dallas at a wedding.

He's currently
serving triple life

without the
possibility of parole.

Then who's running the show now?

His brother, Carlos.

Up until recently, we didn't
consider him much of a threat.

Until he teamed up with Shrader.

Where's Ramon now?

The federal facility
at Delanning.

Delanning? That's
a country club.

He cut himself a
hell of a good deal.

Well, if Carlos wants
his brother out of prison,

Dragonfly is the way to do it.

Walker.

Okay, thanks.

What happened?

Ramon escaped from prison.

They used Dragonfly
to bust him out.

To my brother.

Hey!

And to our new
friend, Señor Shrader,

for securing my freedom.

And to Dragonfly, the
engine of our ascension.

Together we will be unstoppable.

Ah, Señor Shrader, I think...

What is it they
say in that movie?

"This could be the beginning
of a beautiful friendship."

And a most
profitable partnership.

A most profitable partnership.

But enough about business.
Tonight is about pleasure.

I want you to choose
any woman you want.

Any woman you want.

Any woman I want?

Anyone. Carmen, Valerie. Vengan.

This is my... My
personal recommendation.

Ramon, you have excellent taste.

But I choose

her.

No, no, she's just a servant.

Eh, trust me, Señor Shrader,

these ladies are
much more adept.

You did say whoever I wanted.

I've made my choice.

Señor Shrader.

Enjoy, señor.

Good afternoon,
ladies and gentlemen.

I appreciate your coming
in on such short notice.

Two weeks ago, a
secret military helicopter

equipped with state-of-the-art
stealth technology

was stolen from a
warehouse outside Mesquite.

Now, since that
time, we have seen

two U.S. Marines,
four DEA agents

and two prison guards
murdered in cold blood.

We've also seen an
unprecedented increase

in both cocaine and heroin
being shipped into this country.

Working with Ranger Walker,

we've been able to
link both these murders

and this influx of drugs

to the Vega Garcia drug cartel

operating out of
Northeast Mexico.

You said this helicopter

had state-of-the-art
stealth capability.

Just what are we talking here?

It could land in your living
room and not wake up the cat.

Then how are we
supposed to stop them?

We're not going to stop them.
We're gonna make them stop us.

We're gonna hit 'em
and keep hitting them

until they have to react.

And when they
do, we'll be ready.

Let's go.

- Let's go.
- Go, go, go.

All right, move.

Freeze.

Go, go. Come on, let's go.

Police!

Get down.

I'll tell you right up front.
We're looking to deal.

I'm sorry.

Your client has been linked
with the Vega Garcia drug cartel.

So? So no deals.

They are choking us.

What are we going to do?

We must do something.

Shut up.

Earlier today in
a concerted effort

involving Texas Rangers,
Dallas police and the DEA,

a raid was made on this
drug lab in Southeast Dallas.

Eleven arrests were made.

It was just one more part

of an operation
authorities are calling

Operation Pressure Point,

designed to break the backs
of the Vega Garcia drug cartel.

After the raid, Ranger Cordell
Walker of the Texas Rangers,

leader of Operation
Pressure Point,

had this to say:

Ramon del Vega Garcia

is nothing but a lowlife

who makes his living selling
drugs to young children.

And his errand boy, Shrader,
is just a two-bit coward

who has spent the last
20 years hiding from me.

Shrader, if you're
listening to this,

you better buy yourself a
new pair of running shoes,

because I'm coming after you.

And this time, you're
not gonna get away.

And, Ramon, I caught you once,

and I'll catch you again.

And this time, they won't
put you in Delanning,

I guarantee you. Dead!

I want this Walker dead!

You name your price, señor.

For Cordell Walker?

No charge.

Hey, Walker. I just
saw the news report.

You threatening them like that,
they're gonna come after you.

I know. That's why I did it.

They could come at you any
time, any place. They got Dragonfly.

And I want it back.

Wha...?

I don't know, Walker. Four days.

I don't think you
made him mad enough.

I made him mad enough.

Well, captain,

long time no see.

You know, I always
wondered how you managed

to get out of that airport.

And instead, you came
out with three slugs.

I have to admit,
you're pretty good.

But second best.

Captain, this is one
ambush you won't survive.

Yes.

All right, I love
this. I love this.

The thrill of victory, captain.

The agony of defeat, Shrader.

Hurt your leg, captain?

Tell me something, Shrader.

Was it the hundred
thousand dollars?

Or did you just have to feel
like you were better than me?

I was always better than you!

Then prove it.

Let's do it. Man-to-man.

Here I am, captain.

I've been waiting
25 years for this.

You're gonna wish
you'd waited longer.

Come back! Come back!

Ha-ha! Yeah, right.

Does the Ranger truck
insurance cover missiles?

Well, it covers driving
and all that kind of stuff.

That's right, you need
a new vehicle anyway.

I love that vehicle.

I'm getting another
one just like it.

No. Variety is the
spice of life, man.

You say that every time you
change girlfriends, Trivette.

That's right, you
use a line like that

because you can't
hang on to anything.

I do not. Yes, you do.

I do not. Yes, you do.

I do not. Happ... Oh.

You guys.

I told you I didn't
want a party.

Well, you're gonna
have one anyway.

Come here. Happy birthday.

Mmm. Oh!
