( suspenseful
Latin theme playing)
(men speaking Spanish)
Oh, right there. That's good.
All the guns are here, Paine.
Check the pieces. See if the
ride wrecked the action at all.
Smooth as a rug rat's butt.
You ain't gonna start bragging
about that brood of yours again,
are you, Milch? Cut
the umbilical, man.
(chuckles)
We'll ship the guns
across the border tomorrow.
TRIVETTE: Milch. Six years
in San Quentin for smuggling.
Hess. Drummed out of the
Corps for assaulting his CO.
And Paine. Wanted on ten
felony counts for gun running.
Yeah, he's the
leader of the bunch.
Two years, Walker.
Finally got a solid
lead on these guys.
( upbeat rock theme playing)
MAN: I'm not taking
anything away from Moore,
but come on, get
real. Jerry Rice,
122 catches,
over 1800 yards
gained, and 17 TDs.
And that's with
everybody on the field
knowing exactly where
the ball's gonna be.
Hustle, ladies. I'd like to get
this in before the Super Bowl.
MAN: Cox, give us a break.
Does it look like we're
having a picnic here?
COX: I don't want any
of your crap, Hanson.
You've been working on this
section three days already.
Swing those claws.
They're bringing the guns
across the border this week, C.D.
All we gotta do is
figure out where.
C.D.: Yak, yak, yak.
All you fellas do
is talk about work.
Neither one of you have
sampled my Walker Deluxe Club.
What is a Walker club sandwich?
Well, it's the first sandwich
named after a
famous Texas Ranger.
What's in it?
C.D.: I got Jack cheese,
beefsteak tomatoes,
home-roasted turkey.
What's that green stuff?
"Munge" beans.
TRIVETTE: Oh.
Mung beans. "Munge" beans.
Mung beans. I heard about
them. Supposed to be pretty good.
(country music
playing over speakers)
It's like eating a lawn.
I don't know. It tastes
pretty good to me.
You would like it. Mm.
I tell you what, C.D.
Name it a Trivette
Club, would you?
Yeah.
C.D.: Well,
that'll be just fine.
I'll get an old, stale
piece of bologna,
and two stale pieces of bread,
and we'll make a Walker
out of it. How you like that?
WALKER: Sounds better to me.
Whew.
Now, you see, this
is why we're behind.
This lousy chipboard that Cox
expects us to spike is a joke.
Yeah, tell me about it.
He's the foreman.
What are we gonna do?
I don't know. There's
gotta be something.
( suspenseful theme playing)
HANSON: Look, he's
paying 'em off again.
Yup. Same old, same old.
I'll see you down at lunch.
Yeah. It's gonna
catch up to him.
You just wait and see.
Oh, yeah?
So how's that gonna
happen, smart guy?
Well, I think somebody
ought to tell Mr. Gellis about it.
You hear that, Riley?
Hanson's gonna have a little
chit-chat with the boss man.
Well, I-I don't think Mr. Cox
would like that. Do you?
HANSON: Yeah,
well, that's too bad.
Between the untreated wood
and the inferior chipboard,
this place is a
walking fire trap.
C.D.: Trivette Club. I
think it has a nice ring.
Walker, Jimmy, C.D.,
you remember Alfree, don't you?
Yeah, sure do.
C.D.: Well, of course.
She saved your fanny in
the slammer last summer.
Alfree, how are you?
I'm doing great now,
thanks to Alex's dad.
Alfree's case was won on appeal,
and all the charges
were dropped.
Well, that's great.
Hi, honey. What's your name?
This is my baby, Keesha.
Say hi to Ranger Walker, honey.
Hi. Hi, honey.
Alfree just landed a union
job, so we came to celebrate.
Mama's a carpenter.
Alfree, all right.
Where you working?
Working on a housing project,
Gellis Construction.
I'm starting there the
day after tomorrow.
Oh, hey, Mr. Cox. Hanson
here's gonna have a little talk
with Mr. Gellis.
Something about,
uh, code violations
and inferior building materials.
Is that right?
Yeah, that's right.
Well, go ahead.
Okay. COX: No.
Not that way, pal.
Take the express elevator.
Nash, push the button for him.
No.
N-no, no!
(yelling)
If you're gonna be a canary,
you ought to learn how to fly.
It's Bob Hanson.
Go get the paramedics.

MAN: Hey, baby, over here.
You're doing a good job,
Cox. Right on schedule.
Thanks, Mr. Gellis. We try.
Keep it up. Good work.
Thank you, sir.
Are you the foreman?
Yeah. Name's Cox.
Who wants to know?
Alfree Grimes. I'm on the list.
Can you swing a hammer?
According to the union.
Who am I to argue?
Tim Carson.
Takes Grimes
here up to the fourth.
Show her the ropes.
All right.
Come on.
I'll show you around.
( tense theme playing)
This is what we call a 16-penny.
That's just the way
we measure the size,
but don't worry
about that right now.
I'll try not to.
Whoa, whoa. Whoa, wait a minute.
Uh, get on... There you
go. You're down there.
Got to get on the end
of the hammer, there.
Give it a little leverage.
All right. Now just tap
the end of the nail to set it.
Now give it a big swing,
big as you can manage.
Like this?
Huh. Well, I guess I
had that coming, didn't I?
I guess you did.
Tim Carson.
Alfree Grimes.
Welcome aboard.
Alfree, you're one of the
best framers I've ever seen.
Ah. Thanks. My dad
worked the high iron.
Taught me everything he knew.
Must have been a
heck of a teacher.
He was.
All right. That's it.
Whoa.
God. Who laid this floor?
And this isn't plywood.
Well, once we lay
some carpet over it,
who's to know, Suzie Q?
My name's Alfree. And you are?
Nash. And I'm the
guy in charge up here.
Well, if you're the
guy in charge up here,
you really ought to do
something about these
substandard materials.
What do you think you're doing?
Yeah, didn't anybody tell you
this is construction,
not demolition?
Dock her one sheet of plywood.
Done.
It's not plywood.
Look, I like you,
and I want to give
you a piece of advice.
You need to keep your
mouth shut on this one.
I can't, Tim. You
and I both know
that what they're
doing is totally illegal.
Man, somebody's
gotta do something.
I-I know this is
low-income housing,
but, man, they can't be
cutting these kind of corners.
Listen to me, Alfree.
These guys don't play around.
I mean, last guy that
made threats like that,
he took a dive
from four stories up.
You understand what I'm
saying? Ain't nobody saw nothing.
You just be careful.
This is a very
dangerous place to be.
Do you understand me?

Hey, you guys.
Thanks for coming by.
So how was the first day?
Uh. Let's just say it
was, um, interesting.
Well, I saw
something on the news
that there was an accident
at this site a few days ago.
Yeah, I heard about that.
What did you hear?
Let's just say I was told
to keep my mouth shut.
Who told you that?
Never mind.
Alfree, if you're
having a problem,
I'd like to hear about it.
You know what? I can handle it.
Oh, man, I gotta go, you guys.
Mama's got Keesha, and you
know they're gonna want to know
how my first day went.
See y'all later.
See you later. Bye.
Hm.
(train whistle
blares in distance)
WOMAN: No hassles at all, huh?
Not a one, Mama.
Well, that's good.
Of course, a false witness
shall not go unpunished.
And he who speaketh
lies shall perish.
Leviticus, right?
Proverbs 19.
Who do you think you
messing with, Alfree Leticia?
Your father poured
concrete for over 35 years.
I know what it's like out there.
Now, there's
something on your mind.
What is it?
Nothing, Mama.
They're just cutting a
few corners, that's all.
Second-rate building
materials mostly.
And what are you
gonna do about it?
Nothing, Mama.
You think these bills
just gonna vaporize?
I gotta put food on
this table somehow.
Honey, I just want
you to be careful.
When they start cutting corners,
that's when it gets dangerous.
That's how your daddy died.
I know, Mama.
You know,
your father wasn't
even scheduled to work
the day that he was killed.
He was filling in
for Angel Perez.
Angel's wife was in labor.
Mama, I don't want to talk a...
That day haunts me like
a cold spot in the attic.
Fifteen men,
crushed to death under a
thousand tons of concrete,
and your father
right there with 'em,
holding the guide
spout in his hands.
I miss him, Mama.
I miss Daddy.
I won't let the same
thing happen to you.
I won't, Alfree.
I'd rather starve to death.
(door opens)
Look at Mama's baby.
All dressed already for bed.
( tense theme playing)
Yes! Yes.
What are you so happy about?
Yeah, I got the
location on the gun drop.
Some old warehouse
at 86 and Industry.
How'd you find it?
Short-term rental leases.
Can you believe
that? I took a wild shot.
Paine used his own name.
(scoffs): Smart guy.
Well, we'll be there.
Uh, Trivette, can
you do me a favor?
Can you run a check
on a Gellis Construction?
And see what you can find out
about an accident that
happened there a few days ago.
Isn't that where
Alfree's working?
Yeah.
Something up?
I'm not sure.
ALFREE: ♪ Yes, Jesus loves me ♪
♪ Oh, yes ♪
♪ Jesus loves me ♪
♪ Yes, Jesus loves me ♪
♪ For the Bible ♪
♪ Tells me so ♪
I love you, Mommy.
Mm.
Good night, honey.
( tense theme playing)
NASH: Hey, Garcia.
I want those other
four ducts checked.
All right, okay.
Didn't I tell you to start
framing windows, Suzie Q?
Yes, sir, but these door jambs
aren't double-studded yet.
What, do you think I'm
blind? I can see that. Move on.
(sighs)
Man.
Tim, I don't believe that Nash.
I mean, he thinks just 'cause
this is low-income housing,
he can just do
whatever he wants to.
Just let it go, Alfree.
I got two kids. I
got one on the way.
I know it's not
right, all right?
But I need this job.
So just let it go, would you?
( suspenseful theme playing)
ALFREE: Excuse me, Mr. Cox.
The door jambs
aren't up to code yet.
Well, maybe the code's changed
since the last time you
swung a hammer, honey.
Man, those codes are
in place to save lives.
You can't just change 'em
so you can save some money.
Look, I don't need some
greenhorn in a girdle
coming in here and
telling me how to do my job.
Everything's approved here,
so either you do as you're told,
or cash out, girlie.
It's Alfree.
Looks like we might have
another whistle blower.
NASH: Is that what
she looks like to you?
'Cause, to me, she looks like
an accident waiting to happen.
WALKER: These
are definitely our guys.
TRIVETTE: They've unloaded
enough firearms to start a small war.
Well, we've seen
everybody but one.
There's Paine.
There's Milch.
I figure Hess is inside.
So that's five, six, max.
Five or six, huh?
That's what you think?
Yeah. One... Yeah, five or six.
Okay. Let's go get 'em.
( suspenseful theme playing)
MAN: That's it, baby.
Put 'em right
there. That's good.
Texas Rangers!
Hands up! Get over here.
Move it!
(car engine starts)
(tires screech)
Didn't you say five or six men?
Did I say six?
I meant nine.
That's what I thought you meant.
( mellow theme playing)
TIM: Oh, man.
ALFREE: What's wrong?
Peanut butter and jelly.
I hate peanut butter and jelly.
Get your wife to make
you something else.
(scoffs)
That's just a wee bit
sexist, don't you think?
(both chuckle)
No, my wife's eight and
a half months pregnant,
so, uh, I do most of the
cooking around the house.
And mostly what I
know how to cook
is popcorn and
peanut butter and jelly.
That's pathetic.
Yeah, tell me about it.
Here, man.
That I can do.
Thank you. KEESHA: Hi, Mama.
Hey, baby. Mwah. Tim,
this is my baby, Keesha,
and this is my mom.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
Grandma said we could
see where you work.
ALFREE: She did?
Let Mama show you.
All the way to the top.
KEESHA: All the way to the top?
All the way to the top. Wow.
What the hell's going on here?
This isn't no damn
daycare center, Grimes.
I was just showing
my kid where I work.
I don't care if you were
showing around the bloody pope.
Get them out of here.
What are you trying to do,
void my damn
liability insurance?
That language is
uncalled for, mister.
There's a child present.
COX: You heard me, Grimes.
Get them outta here now.
I'll see you at home, Mama.
Okay, dear.
You could learn some
manners, young man.
Let's go, baby.

Look at this. Look.
Now Cox is running electrical
straight through the plumbing.
And where are the fire blocks?
I got some joists
to line up, Alfree.
Come on, Tim. People
are gonna get killed here.
And look. Don't think I
haven't seen Cox's truck
taking that good plywood
and bringing in that
rotten chipboard.
Alfree, I've been
framing for ten years.
You know how I keep
the paycheck coming?
Huh? Not by sweating
these violations.
I keep the paycheck coming
by keeping my mouth shut,
and that's what you need to do.
You see that guy down
there talking to Cox?
That's Steele. That's the super.
You so much as scratch
your nose around this guy,
and you're out of
here. You understand?
Now, come on,
let's set these joists.
The super, huh?
Excuse me.
Mr. Steele? Can I talk
to you for a second?
They're substituting materials,
and it's gonna cause
somebody to get hurt.
I've seen. I've seen
it with my own eyes.
STEELE: Right. I understand.
You know, I try to
run a clean shop here,
and I won't stand
for any stealing.
I really appreciate
this, Miss Grimes,
and you have my
word: I will look into it.
Thank you, Mr. Steele.
( tense theme playing)
(engine starts)
(cell phone rings)
Yeah, yeah, I caught it. I
saw the whole damn thing.
What kind of henhouse
are you running there, Cox?
You know, every time
I come out to the job,
some new chicken
is clucking at me.
Don't worry. She's nothing.
I'll take care of it.
STEELE: Well, you
just see that you do.
And do it right this time.
If Gellis gets wind of this,
we're finished.
WALKER: Hey.
Hey.
Say,
did you find out anything
about Gellis Construction?
I checked with OSHA.
I checked with the
county building inspector
on the accident.
And I have two
statements from witnesses
verifying that it
was an accident.
So not so much as a
blemish on the record.
(saw humming)
COX: Saw off some
more. It's gotta break easy.
( suspenseful theme playing)
That ought to
drop her like a rock.
Okay. Take it up.
Haul this load over to
the north sector, Grimes.
Yes, sir, as soon
as I finish up here.
I got it, Alfree. I'm
going over there anyway.
Tim, I can get that.
Oh, I got it. I got it.
Thanks.
( suspenseful theme playing)
(yelling)
(screams)
Tim!
(screams)
(Alfree sobbing)
(men chattering indistinctly)
Get help!
Call a doctor.
MAN 1: Is he all right?
MAN 2: No.
Pulse is thready.
( suspenseful theme playing)
MAN 3: He fell off the top.
ALFREE: Is he gonna be okay?
It's too soon to tell.
(engine starts)
(siren blaring)
FLORENCE: Fired?
They're blaming me for
the whole thing, Mama.
Blaming you? Why?
'Cause I'm the one
that laid that catwalk.
But I know it was solid.
Mama, I checked it.
It's that Mr. Cox.
I could see it in his eyes.
He had it in for you
from the very beginning.
(sighs)
Mama, what am I gonna do?
( melancholy theme playing)
ALEX: Alfree, are
you sure about this?
Alex, what they're
doing up there
almost killed a good man.
Somebody's gotta do something.
What'd you find out?
Not much.
Well, did you check
with Mr. Steele?
Yeah, I spoke with him. He
remembers the conversation.
He checked into the allegations.
He couldn't find
anything to back them up.
WALKER: And I talked to
the county building inspector.
He went out to the site.
He found nothing wrong.
But this wasn't an accident.
Alex, there's gotta be
something we can do.
ALEX: Without proof,
the best we have here is a
suit for wrongful termination.
Wrongful termination?
Tim almost died out there,
and wrongful termination's
the best we can do?
I'm afraid so.
(sighs)
Then wrongful termination it is.
Let's do it.
This is not gonna be easy.
If we don't win, you
could lose your union card.
So you have to be positive.
GELLIS: You know what this is?
This is a damned
lawsuit, is what it is.
I ask you two to
do a job for me,
and this is what
I got in return:
a whole barrelful
of alleged improprieties
and illegalities.
STEELE: Hey, listen, Mr. Gellis.
We're talking sour grapes
here. I mean, pure and simple.
Oh, it doesn't sound like
sour grapes to me, Steele.
Sexual harassment,
employee endangerment,
using inferior materials,
threatening to...
You want me to read
you the entire list?
You're nipping at the
wrong heels here, Paul.
COX: That's right, Mr. Gellis.
This chick is nothing
but a two-bit hustler
trying to hitch her wagon
to your money train.
Well, that may be, but let
me tell you both something.
If even one word
of this is true,
then the next time I
see either one of you,
it'll be behind federal
bars. You understand me?
( melancholy theme playing)
MAN: So this was
your first union job.
Is that correct, Miss Grimes?
Yes.
And you destroyed
Gellis property
on your very first day
on the job, didn't you? No.
Objection, Mr. Becker.
There's no proof...
The deposition stipulating
to the facts, counselor.
Uh, Miss Grimes,
you were docked for a sheet
of plywood, were you not?
I don't believe this.
I'm sorry. Yes or no.
Were you docked?
Yes, but I didn't... Thank you.
That's why the other men
didn't trust you, correct?
Objection. That is
pure supposition.
She has been causing trouble
from the moment she set foot
on the job, counselor.
Isn't that right, Miss Grimes?
In fact, you have an ax to
grind, don't you, Miss Grimes,
because of your father's death?
I don't, um...
That's what this
lawsuit's really about,
isn't it, Miss Grimes?
Your father was a
screwup, and so are you.
He killed 15 men
with his negligence,
and now you're
following directly
in his bungling footsteps.
That's a lie!
All right. All right.
Let's take five.
( tense theme playing)
(gasps)
That construction accident
was not my father's fault.
The safety commission,
they even... They proved it.
Okay, okay. Take a deep breath.
Now, tell me, what
about your father?
He was k... He was killed in
a construction accident, okay?
Alex, it was not his fault.
Look, just forget it.
This is so bogus.
I'm not taking this, man.
ALEX: Alfree, if you walk
out that door, they win.
Is that what you want?
Everything that
you've been through,
and now you give up?
Is that the fat lady
I hear singing?
Alfree, I warned you about this.
Becker is pulling a
tactic, but that's all it is.
You are the only one
that knows the real truth,
and you need to go
in there and say it.
Okay.
Now, you have
to be sure, Alfree.
You can't bail on me again.
I won't.
(scoffs)
They already fired me,
and they trashed
my dad's good name.
What else can they do to me?
Let's go.
( upbeat theme playing)
I could really use the work.
I'm available right away.
Sorry, no can do.
MAN: Whoo.
Oh, no.

KEESHA: Mommy!
I heard a noise.
Good lord!
TRIVETTE: Now we
can get these gunrunners.
Thank you very much.
Paine and his men are
racking up credit card charges
all over town.
They're using aliases
and fake cards.
We're verifying their signature
using that electronic
signature-capture system.
We set up monitoring
devices to track their activity.
As soon as they use one
of those cards, we got them.
Great.
What is it?
ALEX: Someone threw a
brick through her front window.
They could've killed my baby.
Alex, I can't do this.
Tim was right. I should've
kept my mouth shut.
Look, you gotta
get me out of this.
Who are "they"?
She thinks the foreman
at the construction site
is responsible.
What's his name?
His name's Cox.
Alfree, don't do anything.
Let me go check this out.
( tense theme playing)
Yeah.
Take it around the south
side up on top there, okay?
Where's your foreman Cox?
Over there.
You Cox?
What do you want, Ranger?
Well, how good are
you at throwing bricks?
What are you talking about?
Alfree Grimes has filed
a complaint against you.
Oh, yeah? Well, I
don't care what she said.
I never threw no brick
through her window.
I don't remember saying
anything about a window.
Boys.
Ranger, this is
private property.
It's up to you.
You can leave the easy way,
or you can leave the hard way.
Is that a threat?
Your choice, Ranger.
Well, in that case,
I guess I'll take
the hard way.
Get him, boys!
(men chattering indistinctly)
Leave Alfree Grimes alone.
(chattering, chuckling)
( upbeat martial theme playing)
(phone rings)
Hello.
TRIVETTE (over phone):
Walker, we got 'em.
Paine is holed up
at the San Moritz.
The hotel is running one
of his fake credit cards
even as we speak.
I'll meet you there.
I'm sorry, gentlemen, but,
according to housekeeping,
your bill is correct.
Twenty-four bucks for
beer nuts and potato chips?
And the liquor. We
mustn't forget the liquor.
You emptied the minibar
a good 16 times, sir.
Look, I don't care
if we emptied it 30.
We ain't paying no
overrated flophouse
eight bucks a bottle
for half a shot of rye.
Sir, I don't
appreciate your tone.
I don't appreciate your face.
Security. Security.
Here. Let me help you with that.
(bell dinging) Security.
(with lisp): Security. Security.
You rang?
You want to finish up here?
Yeah. Where you
going? Alfree's deposition.
(clears throat)
Security.
( suspenseful theme playing)
Bye, baby. Be good for Granny.
I will.
Now, you can bet
your booties on that.
Get back! Everybody
against the wall.
Why are you doing this?
Get out of our house now!
Nash!
Too bad.
You.
Before, it was just you.
Now you're all
gonna have to die.
KEESHA: Mama!
(sighs)
Where's your client, counselor?
She'll be here.
I'm not keeping Mr. Gellis
waiting much longer.
May I use your
phone, please? Sure.
(beeping)
Mess this place up good.
Make it look like a
robbery gone bad.
There won't be any
questions. Yeah.
May I use your phone again?
Oh, sure. Thank you.
(phone rings)
Hello.
ALEX (over phone):
Walker, it's Alex.
Alfree is late
for the deposition.
I've tried calling her,
but her line's not working.
I'll go check on her.
You're gonna answer
for this one day.
I don't see how.
You're all gonna be dead.
Won't be any witnesses.
Come judgment
day, there will be.
Shut up, old woman.
Your judgment day is now.
Go! Go! Go!
( suspenseful theme playing)
Y'all get on the bed.
Get her!
(metal clanking)
RILEY: Come on, get her!
NASH: Break it down!
Get in there!
(yelling)
Mama.
Everyone okay?
( tranquil theme playing)
(country music playing)
Well, I understand
that our little Alfree
was brilliant on
the witness stand.
She nailed 'em to the wall.
TRIVETTE: Turns out Cox
had guys working for him
in practically
every shop in town,
and Gellis was totally
clueless to the scam.
Well, not anymore.
No. Mr. Gellis
is gonna have to pay a
pretty hefty settlement.
He's gonna be a
lot more attentive
to who he hires in the future.
TRIVETTE: As for
Cox and his merry men,
the only construction
they're gonna be doing
is churning out Texas license
plates for the next 20 years.
Right. I gotta find
myself a steady job.
I got bills to pay.
Well, I could always use
a hash slinger in here.
Sorry, C.D. She has a job.
I do?
Sure do. Working for
the county, if you want it.
If I want it? Are you
kidding? What is it?
Well, let's just
say that it's a job
where you can make a difference.
( upbeat theme playing)
MAN: Hey, hey.
(all chattering indistinctly)
Good seeing you
guys. Good to be back.
Very good to be back.
You're looking
good. A lot better.
MAN 2: Ah. Here comes
the building inspector.
Ah, same old, same old, huh?
MAN 3: Good to
have you back, son.
Okay, boys, let's go to work.
(all chuckling)
MAN: All right, boys,
get back to work, huh?
( upbeat theme playing)
Okay, boys, let's move.
Looking good.
Congratulations.

Oh, right there. That's good.
All the guns are here, Paine.
Check the pieces. See if the
ride wrecked the action at all.
Smooth as a rug rat's butt.
You ain't gonna start bragging
about that brood of yours again,
are you, Milch? Cut
the umbilical, man.
(chuckles)
We'll ship the guns
across the border tomorrow.
TRIVETTE: Milch. Six years
in San Quentin for smuggling.
Hess. Drummed out of the
Corps for assaulting his CO.
And Paine. Wanted on ten
felony counts for gun running.
Yeah, he's the
leader of the bunch.
Two years, Walker.

MAN: Cox, give us a break.
Does it look like we're
having a picnic here?
COX: I don't want any
of your crap, Hanson.
You've been working on this
section three days already.
Swing those claws.
They're bringing the guns
across the border this week, C.D.
All we gotta do is
figure out where.
C.D.: Yak, yak, yak.
All you fellas do
is talk about work.
Neither one of you have
sampled my Walker Deluxe Club.
What is a Walker club sandwich?
Well, it's the first sandwich
named after a
famous Texas Ranger.
What's in it?
C.D.: I got Jack cheese,
beefsteak tomatoes,
home-roasted turkey.
What's that green stuff?
"Munge" beans.
TRIVETTE: Oh.
Mung beans. "Munge" beans.
Mung beans. I heard about
them. Supposed to be pretty good.
(country music
playing over speakers)
It's like eating a lawn.
I don't know. It tastes
pretty good to me.
You would like it. Mm.
I tell you what, C.D.
Name it a Trivette
Club, would you?
Yeah.
C.D.: Well,
that'll be just fine.
I'll get an old, stale
piece of bologna,
and two stale pieces of bread,
and we'll make a Walker
out of it. How you like that?
WALKER: Sounds better to me.
Whew.
Now, you see, this
is why we're behind.
This lousy chipboard that Cox
expects us to spike is a joke.
Yeah, tell me about it.
He's the foreman.
What are we gonna do?
I don't know. There's
gotta be something.
( suspenseful theme playing)
HANSON: Look, he's
paying 'em off again.
Yup. Same old, same old.
I'll see you down at lunch.
Yeah. It's gonna
catch up to him.
You just wait and see.
Oh, yeah?
So how's that gonna
happen, smart guy?
Well, I think somebody
ought to tell Mr. Gellis about it.
You hear that, Riley?
Hanson's gonna have a little
chit-chat with the boss man.
Well, I-I don't think Mr. Cox
would like that. Do you?
HANSON: Yeah,
well, that's too bad.
Between the untreated wood
and the inferior chipboard,
this place is a
walking fire trap.
C.D.: Trivette Club. I
think it has a nice ring.
Walker, Jimmy, C.D.,
you remember Alfree, don't you?
Yeah, sure do.
C.D.: Well, of course.
She saved your fanny in
the slammer last summer.
Alfree, how are you?
I'm doing great now,
thanks to Alex's dad.
Alfree's case was won on appeal,
and all the charges
were dropped.
Well, that's great.
Hi, honey. What's your name?
This is my baby, Keesha.
Say hi to Ranger Walker, honey.
Hi. Hi, honey.
Alfree just landed a union
job, so we came to celebrate.
Mama's a carpenter.
Alfree, all right.
Where you working?
Working on a housing project,
Gellis Construction.
I'm starting there the
day after tomorrow.
Oh, hey, Mr. Cox. Hanson
here's gonna have a little talk
with Mr. Gellis.
Something about,
uh, code violations
and inferior building materials.
Is that right?
Yeah, that's right.
Well, go ahead.
Okay. COX: No.
Not that way, pal.
Take the express elevator.
Nash, push the button for him.
No.
N-no, no!
(yelling)
If you're gonna be a canary,

MAN: Hey, baby, over here.
You're doing a good job,
Cox. Right on schedule.
Thanks, Mr. Gellis. We try.
Keep it up. Good work.
Thank you, sir.
Are you the foreman?
Yeah. Name's Cox.
Who wants to know?
Alfree Grimes. I'm on the list.
Can you swing a hammer?
According to the union.
Who am I to argue?
Tim Carson.
Takes Grimes
here up to the fourth.
Show her the ropes.
All right.
Come on.
I'll show you around.
( tense theme playing)
This is what we call a 16-penny.
That's just the way
we measure the size,
but don't worry
about that right now.
I'll try not to.
Whoa, whoa. Whoa, wait a minute.
Uh, get on... There you
go. You're down there.
Got to get on the end
of the hammer, there.
Give it a little leverage.
All right. Now just tap
the end of the nail to set it.
Now give it a big swing,
big as you can manage.
Like this?
Huh. Well, I guess I
had that coming, didn't I?
I guess you did.
Tim Carson.
Alfree Grimes.
Welcome aboard.
Alfree, you're one of the
best framers I've ever seen.
Ah. Thanks. My dad
worked the high iron.
Taught me everything he knew.
Must have been a
heck of a teacher.
He was.
All right. That's it.
Whoa.
God. Who laid this floor?
And this isn't plywood.
Well, once we lay
some carpet over it,
who's to know, Suzie Q?
My name's Alfree. And you are?
Nash. And I'm the
guy in charge up here.
Well, if you're the
guy in charge up here,
you really ought to do
something about these
substandard materials.
What do you think you're doing?
Yeah, didn't anybody tell you
this is construction,
not demolition?
Dock her one sheet of plywood.
Done.
It's not plywood.
Look, I like you,
and I want to give
you a piece of advice.
You need to keep your
mouth shut on this one.
I can't, Tim. You
and I both know
that what they're
doing is totally illegal.
Man, somebody's
gotta do something.
I-I know this is
low-income housing,
but, man, they can't be
cutting these kind of corners.
Listen to me, Alfree.
These guys don't play around.
I mean, last guy that
made threats like that,
he took a dive
from four stories up.
You understand what I'm
saying? Ain't nobody saw nothing.
You just be careful.
This is a very
dangerous place to be.
Do you understand me?

Hey, you guys.
Thanks for coming by.
So how was the first day?
Uh. Let's just say it
was, um, interesting.
Well, I saw
something on the news
that there was an accident
at this site a few days ago.
Yeah, I heard about that.
What did you hear?
Let's just say I was told
to keep my mouth shut.
Who told you that?
Never mind.
Alfree, if you're
having a problem,
I'd like to hear about it.
You know what? I can handle it.
Oh, man, I gotta go, you guys.
Mama's got Keesha, and you
know they're gonna want to know
how my first day went.
See y'all later.
See you later. Bye.
Hm.
(train whistle
blares in distance)
WOMAN: No hassles at all, huh?
Not a one, Mama.
Well, that's good.
Of course, a false witness
shall not go unpunished.
And he who speaketh
lies shall perish.
Leviticus, right?
Proverbs 19.
Who do you think you
messing with, Alfree Leticia?
Your father poured
concrete for over 35 years.
I know what it's like out there.
Now, there's
something on your mind.
What is it?
Nothing, Mama.
They're just cutting a
few corners, that's all.
Second-rate building
materials mostly.
And what are you
gonna do about it?
Nothing, Mama.
You think these bills
just gonna vaporize?
I gotta put food on
this table somehow.
Honey, I just want
you to be careful.
When they start cutting corners,
that's when it gets dangerous.
That's how your daddy died.
I know, Mama.
You know,
your father wasn't
even scheduled to work
the day that he was killed.
He was filling in
for Angel Perez.
Angel's wife was in labor.
Mama, I don't want to talk a...
That day haunts me like
a cold spot in the attic.
Fifteen men,
crushed to death under a
thousand tons of concrete,
and your father
right there with 'em,
holding the guide
spout in his hands.
I miss him, Mama.
I miss Daddy.
I won't let the same
thing happen to you.
I won't, Alfree.
I'd rather starve to death.
(door opens)
Look at Mama's baby.
All dressed already for bed.
( tense theme playing)
Yes! Yes.
What are you so happy about?
Yeah, I got the
location on the gun drop.
Some old warehouse
at 86 and Industry.
How'd you find it?
Short-term rental leases.
Can you believe
that? I took a wild shot.
Paine used his own name.
(scoffs): Smart guy.
Well, we'll be there.
Uh, Trivette, can
you do me a favor?
Can you run a check
on a Gellis Construction?
And see what you can find out
about an accident that
happened there a few days ago.
Isn't that where
Alfree's working?
Yeah.
Something up?
I'm not sure.
ALFREE: ♪ Yes, Jesus loves me ♪
♪ Oh, yes ♪
♪ Jesus loves me ♪
♪ Yes, Jesus loves me ♪
♪ For the Bible ♪
♪ Tells me so ♪
I love you, Mommy.
Mm.
Good night, honey.
( tense theme playing)
NASH: Hey, Garcia.
I want those other
four ducts checked.
All right, okay.
Didn't I tell you to start
framing windows, Suzie Q?
Yes, sir, but these door jambs
aren't double-studded yet.
What, do you think I'm
blind? I can see that. Move on.
(sighs)
Man.
Tim, I don't believe that Nash.
I mean, he thinks just 'cause
this is low-income housing,
he can just do
whatever he wants to.
Just let it go, Alfree.
I got two kids. I
got one on the way.
I know it's not
right, all right?
But I need this job.
So just let it go, would you?
( suspenseful theme playing)
ALFREE: Excuse me, Mr. Cox.
The door jambs
aren't up to code yet.
Well, maybe the code's changed
since the last time you
swung a hammer, honey.
Man, those codes are
in place to save lives.
You can't just change 'em
so you can save some money.
Look, I don't need some
greenhorn in a girdle
coming in here and
telling me how to do my job.
Everything's approved here,
so either you do as you're told,
or cash out, girlie.
It's Alfree.
Looks like we might have
another whistle blower.
NASH: Is that what
she looks like to you?
'Cause, to me, she looks like
an accident waiting to happen.
WALKER: These
are definitely our guys.
TRIVETTE: They've unloaded
enough firearms to start a small war.
Well, we've seen
everybody but one.
There's Paine.
There's Milch.
I figure Hess is inside.
So that's five, six, max.
Five or six, huh?
That's what you think?
Yeah. One... Yeah, five or six.
Okay. Let's go get 'em.
( suspenseful theme playing)
MAN: That's it, baby.
Put 'em right
there. That's good.
Texas Rangers!
Hands up! Get over here.
Move it!

Didn't you say five or six men?
Did I say six?
I meant nine.
That's what I thought you meant.

TIM: Oh, man.
ALFREE: What's wrong?
Peanut butter and jelly.
I hate peanut butter and jelly.
Get your wife to make
you something else.
(scoffs)
That's just a wee bit
sexist, don't you think?
(both chuckle)
No, my wife's eight and
a half months pregnant,
so, uh, I do most of the
cooking around the house.
And mostly what I
know how to cook
is popcorn and
peanut butter and jelly.
That's pathetic.
Yeah, tell me about it.
Here, man.
That I can do.
Thank you. KEESHA: Hi, Mama.
Hey, baby. Mwah. Tim,
this is my baby, Keesha,
and this is my mom.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
Grandma said we could
see where you work.
ALFREE: She did?
Let Mama show you.
All the way to the top.
KEESHA: All the way to the top?
All the way to the top. Wow.
What the hell's going on here?
This isn't no damn
daycare center, Grimes.
I was just showing
my kid where I work.
I don't care if you were
showing around the bloody pope.
Get them out of here.
What are you trying to do,
void my damn
liability insurance?
That language is
uncalled for, mister.
There's a child present.
COX: You heard me, Grimes.
Get them outta here now.
I'll see you at home, Mama.
Okay, dear.
You could learn some
manners, young man.
Let's go, baby.

Look at this. Look.
Now Cox is running electrical
straight through the plumbing.
And where are the fire blocks?
I got some joists
to line up, Alfree.
Come on, Tim. People
are gonna get killed here.
And look. Don't think I
haven't seen Cox's truck
taking that good plywood
and bringing in that
rotten chipboard.
Alfree, I've been
framing for ten years.
You know how I keep
the paycheck coming?
Huh? Not by sweating
these violations.
I keep the paycheck coming
by keeping my mouth shut,
and that's what you need to do.
You see that guy down
there talking to Cox?
That's Steele. That's the super.
You so much as scratch
your nose around this guy,
and you're out of
here. You understand?
Now, come on,
let's set these joists.
The super, huh?
Excuse me.
Mr. Steele? Can I talk
to you for a second?
They're substituting materials,
and it's gonna cause
somebody to get hurt.
I've seen. I've seen
it with my own eyes.
STEELE: Right. I understand.
You know, I try to
run a clean shop here,
and I won't stand
for any stealing.
I really appreciate
this, Miss Grimes,
and you have my
word: I will look into it.
Thank you, Mr. Steele.
( tense theme playing)
(engine starts)
(cell phone rings)
Yeah, yeah, I caught it. I
saw the whole damn thing.
What kind of henhouse
are you running there, Cox?
You know, every time
I come out to the job,
some new chicken
is clucking at me.
Don't worry. She's nothing.
I'll take care of it.
STEELE: Well, you
just see that you do.
And do it right this time.
If Gellis gets wind of this,
we're finished.
WALKER: Hey.
Hey.
Say,
did you find out anything
about Gellis Construction?
I checked with OSHA.
I checked with the
county building inspector
on the accident.
And I have two
statements from witnesses
verifying that it
was an accident.
So not so much as a
blemish on the record.
(saw humming)
COX: Saw off some
more. It's gotta break easy.
( suspenseful theme playing)
That ought to
drop her like a rock.
Okay. Take it up.
Haul this load over to
the north sector, Grimes.
Yes, sir, as soon
as I finish up here.
I got it, Alfree. I'm
going over there anyway.
Tim, I can get that.
Oh, I got it. I got it.
Thanks.
( suspenseful theme playing)

FLORENCE: Fired?
They're blaming me for
the whole thing, Mama.
Blaming you? Why?
'Cause I'm the one
that laid that catwalk.
But I know it was solid.
Mama, I checked it.
It's that Mr. Cox.
I could see it in his eyes.
He had it in for you
from the very beginning.
(sighs)
Mama, what am I gonna do?
( melancholy theme playing)
ALEX: Alfree, are
you sure about this?
Alex, what they're
doing up there
almost killed a good man.
Somebody's gotta do something.
What'd you find out?
Not much.
Well, did you check
with Mr. Steele?
Yeah, I spoke with him. He
remembers the conversation.
He checked into the allegations.
He couldn't find
anything to back them up.
WALKER: And I talked to
the county building inspector.
He went out to the site.
He found nothing wrong.
But this wasn't an accident.
Alex, there's gotta be
something we can do.
ALEX: Without proof,
the best we have here is a
suit for wrongful termination.
Wrongful termination?
Tim almost died out there,
and wrongful termination's
the best we can do?
I'm afraid so.
(sighs)
Then wrongful termination it is.
Let's do it.
This is not gonna be easy.
If we don't win, you
could lose your union card.
So you have to be positive.
GELLIS: You know what this is?
This is a damned
lawsuit, is what it is.
I ask you two to
do a job for me,
and this is what
I got in return:
a whole barrelful
of alleged improprieties
and illegalities.
STEELE: Hey, listen, Mr. Gellis.
We're talking sour grapes
here. I mean, pure and simple.
Oh, it doesn't sound like
sour grapes to me, Steele.
Sexual harassment,
employee endangerment,
using inferior materials,
threatening to...
You want me to read
you the entire list?
You're nipping at the
wrong heels here, Paul.
COX: That's right, Mr. Gellis.
This chick is nothing
but a two-bit hustler
trying to hitch her wagon
to your money train.
Well, that may be, but let
me tell you both something.
If even one word
of this is true,
then the next time I
see either one of you,
it'll be behind federal
bars. You understand me?
( melancholy theme playing)
MAN: So this was
your first union job.
Is that correct, Miss Grimes?
Yes.
And you destroyed
Gellis property
on your very first day
on the job, didn't you? No.
Objection, Mr. Becker.
There's no proof...
The deposition stipulating
to the facts, counselor.
Uh, Miss Grimes,
you were docked for a sheet
of plywood, were you not?
I don't believe this.
I'm sorry. Yes or no.
Were you docked?
Yes, but I didn't... Thank you.
That's why the other men
didn't trust you, correct?
Objection. That is
pure supposition.
She has been causing trouble
from the moment she set foot
on the job, counselor.
Isn't that right, Miss Grimes?
In fact, you have an ax to
grind, don't you, Miss Grimes,
because of your father's death?
I don't, um...
That's what this
lawsuit's really about,
isn't it, Miss Grimes?
Your father was a
screwup, and so are you.
He killed 15 men
with his negligence,
and now you're
following directly
in his bungling footsteps.
That's a lie!
All right. All right.
Let's take five.
( tense theme playing)
(gasps)
That construction accident
was not my father's fault.
The safety commission,
they even... They proved it.
Okay, okay. Take a deep breath.
Now, tell me, what
about your father?
He was k... He was killed in
a construction accident, okay?
Alex, it was not his fault.
Look, just forget it.
This is so bogus.
I'm not taking this, man.
ALEX: Alfree, if you walk
out that door, they win.
Is that what you want?
Everything that
you've been through,
and now you give up?
Is that the fat lady
I hear singing?
Alfree, I warned you about this.
Becker is pulling a
tactic, but that's all it is.
You are the only one
that knows the real truth,
and you need to go
in there and say it.
Okay.
Now, you have
to be sure, Alfree.
You can't bail on me again.
I won't.
(scoffs)
They already fired me,
and they trashed
my dad's good name.
What else can they do to me?
Let's go.
( upbeat theme playing)
I could really use the work.
I'm available right away.
Sorry, no can do.

Alfree, don't do anything.
Let me go check this out.
( tense theme playing)
Yeah.
Take it around the south
side up on top there, okay?
Where's your foreman Cox?
Over there.
You Cox?
What do you want, Ranger?
Well, how good are
you at throwing bricks?
What are you talking about?
Alfree Grimes has filed
a complaint against you.
Oh, yeah? Well, I
don't care what she said.
I never threw no brick
through her window.
I don't remember saying
anything about a window.
Boys.
Ranger, this is
private property.
It's up to you.
You can leave the easy way,
or you can leave the hard way.
Is that a threat?
Your choice, Ranger.
Well, in that case,
I guess I'll take
the hard way.
Get him, boys!
(men chattering indistinctly)
Leave Alfree Grimes alone.
(chattering, chuckling)

(phone rings)
Hello.
TRIVETTE (over phone):
Walker, we got 'em.
Paine is holed up
at the San Moritz.
The hotel is running one
of his fake credit cards
even as we speak.
I'll meet you there.
I'm sorry, gentlemen, but,
according to housekeeping,
your bill is correct.
Twenty-four bucks for
beer nuts and potato chips?
And the liquor. We
mustn't forget the liquor.
You emptied the minibar
a good 16 times, sir.
Look, I don't care
if we emptied it 30.
We ain't paying no
overrated flophouse
eight bucks a bottle
for half a shot of rye.
Sir, I don't
appreciate your tone.
I don't appreciate your face.
Security. Security.
Here. Let me help you with that.
(bell dinging) Security.
(with lisp): Security. Security.
You rang?
You want to finish up here?
Yeah. Where you
going? Alfree's deposition.
(clears throat)
Security.
( suspenseful theme playing)
Bye, baby. Be good for Granny.
I will.
Now, you can bet
your booties on that.
Get back! Everybody
against the wall.
Why are you doing this?
Get out of our house now!
Nash!
Too bad.
You.
Before, it was just you.
Now you're all
gonna have to die.
KEESHA: Mama!
(sighs)
Where's your client, counselor?
She'll be here.
I'm not keeping Mr. Gellis
waiting much longer.
May I use your
phone, please? Sure.
(beeping)
Mess this place up good.
Make it look like a
robbery gone bad.
There won't be any
questions. Yeah.
May I use your phone again?
Oh, sure. Thank you.
(phone rings)
Hello.
ALEX (over phone):
Walker, it's Alex.
Alfree is late
for the deposition.
I've tried calling her,
but her line's not working.
I'll go check on her.
You're gonna answer
for this one day.
I don't see how.
You're all gonna be dead.
Won't be any witnesses.
Come judgment
day, there will be.
Shut up, old woman.
Your judgment day is now.
Go! Go! Go!
( suspenseful theme playing)
Y'all get on the bed.
Get her!
(metal clanking)
RILEY: Come on, get her!
NASH: Break it down!
Get in there!
(yelling)
Mama.
Everyone okay?
( tranquil theme playing)
(country music playing)
Well, I understand
that our little Alfree
was brilliant on
the witness stand.
She nailed 'em to the wall.
TRIVETTE: Turns out Cox
had guys working for him
in practically
every shop in town,
and Gellis was totally
clueless to the scam.
Well, not anymore.
No. Mr. Gellis
is gonna have to pay a
pretty hefty settlement.
He's gonna be a
lot more attentive
to who he hires in the future.
TRIVETTE: As for
Cox and his merry men,
the only construction
they're gonna be doing
is churning out Texas license
plates for the next 20 years.
Right. I gotta find
myself a steady job.
I got bills to pay.
Well, I could always use
a hash slinger in here.
Sorry, C.D. She has a job.
I do?
Sure do. Working for
the county, if you want it.
If I want it? Are you
kidding? What is it?
Well, let's just
say that it's a job
where you can make a difference.
( upbeat theme playing)
MAN: Hey, hey.
(all chattering indistinctly)
Good seeing you
guys. Good to be back.
Very good to be back.
You're looking
good. A lot better.
MAN 2: Ah. Here comes
the building inspector.
Ah, same old, same old, huh?
MAN 3: Good to
have you back, son.
Okay, boys, let's go to work.
(all chuckling)
MAN: All right, boys,
get back to work, huh?
( upbeat theme playing)
Okay, boys, let's move.
Looking good.
Congratulations.
