Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 6, Episode 18 - Undercover - full transcript

Carlos is working undercover to get an elusive drug dealer known as El Vaquero. He's gained the confidence of his number two Johnny Primo. Walker wants them to bust Johnny and maybe he can lead them to El Vaquero. But Carlos wants to stay under, it seems that El Vaquero killed Carlos's brother, who was an addict/dealer who wanted to quit but died of an overdose. Carlos thinks El Vaquero had him killed. Walker says ok but Johnny learns Carlos is a cop and grabs him and beats him up to know what he has told.

Ah, good evening, Mr. Martinez.

Evening, Joe.

How you doing? It's all right.

You look great.

How you doing?

You too.

Yeah, what's happening, man?

Hey. Hi.

Whoo!

Hello.

Come on, man. Over here.

Ah! Hey!

Hey, Nicole.

You said you'd call.

And I will.

When?

Soon.

You'd better.

Gotta go.

All right.

Hey, man. What's up?

Hey, good to see you. Go on in.

This a bad time?

Bad time?

Between friends?

There's no such thing.

Oy. Hey. How are you, Carlitos?

Ah. Bien, bien.

You look good. Siéntate.

Oye. I spoke with
little Nicole earlier.

She said you never called her.

I know.

I ran into her out front.

Ah. Busted, huh?

See? See, 'mano?

That's what happens...

when you don't keep
your promises, huh?

Correct? Ha-ha.

Yeah.

Usual?

Cinco.

Sí.

Hey. Hey, hey.

Come on, man.

All right, all right.

All right. Ricky!

Qué pasa, amigo? Huh?

I've been looking
all over for you.

And... And you're a
very hard man to find.

Where you been, 'mano. Huh?

I-I been... I been
around, Johnny.

Um, calling me a
liar? Ricky: Uh...

Is that it? Huh, Ricky?

Hm?

N... N... No, Johnny.

Uh... C-c-come on, man.

I didn't do nothing.

Johnny, I'll... I'll
see you soon.

No.

I want you should see this.

Whatever you say, Johnny.

Good, Carlitos.

Good.

Trust.

In our business,

there is no more
important quality.

Huh?

Any one of us can
destroy the other.

And if we steal
from each other...

well, then, there is
no other recourse.

Uh, I-I'm sorry, Johnny.

I'll, uh, uh... I'll pay you
back, man. I-I'm sorry.

I promise, man.

Plea... Please.

I know. I know.

I know. But it's too late.

No. No, please, Johnny.

Please.

Johnny, please.

Get rid of him.

Trust, Carlitos.

Trust.

It's essential to our operation.

Hm?

See?

That's what happens
when trust is broken.

I'll see you soon. Okay?

And... call that Nicole.

She's a good girl.

You got it, Johnny.

Trust.

It's essential to our operation.

That's what happens
when trust is broken.

Any one of us can
destroy the other.

And if we steal
from each other...

well, then, there is
no other recourse.

Johnny, please.

It's too late.

Don't move!

Cold blood.

Johnny shot him in cold
blood right in front of me.

It was a message.

Maybe it's time we took
this operation down, Trivette.

Walker. We can't stop here.

We've got four
months invested in this.

That's the point he's
trying to make, detective.

Yeah. You've been
undercover too long, Carlos.

We're almost there.
All we have left

is the number one
guy, El Vaquero.

And I can get him,
Walker. I know I can.

Detective, you've
done a real good job.

This is a great job. All right?

With the information,

the evidence you've
gathered already,

Vaqueros are finished.

That's not the point.

El Vaquero's the heart
and soul of this organization.

Even if we take
down every member,

he'll have a whole
new crew in no time.

Please, Walker.

I'm close. I'm really close.

I just need a little more time.

Okay. One week. But that's it.

And after that, the task force

is coming in and cleaning house.

When the time comes...
El Vaquero's mine.

I'm gonna log these drugs.

Sit down, Carlos.

Trivette's right.

You've done a real good
job on this operation...

but you can't let
it get personal.

What do you mean?

I know about your brother.

I know about Hector.

Come on, Hector. Let's go home.

I'm gonna be late.

Hey. I said go. Now go!

What you always hanging
around me for anyways?

Stupid little jerk.

Go on! Get out of here!

Yo... please don't.

No!

Hector!

Help!

Hector... Somebody
help! Somebody help!

Then you know he was a junkie.

Yeah.

And that he was
killed by a drug dealer.

The day he died...

it nearly killed my mother.

Yeah, Walker. It's personal.

But won't lose my
objectivity, I promise you.

Okay.

Now, focus.

Look for a target.

He-yah!

Nice. Nice.

Face each other, bow.

Good work, you two.

Next up.

Face me, bow.

Face each other, bow.

Fighting stance.

Fight!

Okay, okay, okay.

You've both shown
you can use your feet.

Now... show me that
you can use your heads.

Better. Better.

That's more like it. That's
what I'm talking about.

Hi-ya!

That's more like it.
Face each other, bow.

Good job.

All right, line up.

Good job.

The tournament is this weekend.

You've all worked hard,

and I'm proud of each
and every one of you.

There's something I
want you to remember:

if you win, great.

If you lose, learn from it.

Because as long as
you've learned something...

then you haven't really lost.

Oh, man. That is great.

It's so inspirational, I-I
can hardly contain myself.

"If you lose, you
haven't really lost."

That's good.

Well, I hope you're
listening to your sensei...

'cause come tournament time,

my students here are gonna

teach each and every
one of you a lesson.

What do you want, Lyons?

I just thought I'd drop by,

give your students
an opportunity

to study under a real
martial arts instructor.

I'm gonna offer 'em a deal.

Only gonna say it once.

One month free
lessons... That's right: free.

At Jake Lyons' Karate Academy.

Who's with me?

Okay, you're way too serious.

Doesn't look like
anybody's with you, Lyons.

All right.

Six months of free lessons

at the Jake Lyons'
Karate Academy.

Don't you want to
learn how to fight?

That's right, you got
big brother for that.

Okay.

I can't believe
I'm gonna say this.

Uh... one full year...
of free lessons

at the Jake Lyons'
Karate Academy.

It doesn't get any
better than that. Huh?

One year of free lessons.

That would be quite a bargain...

if they were worth anything.

Okay.

Peace.

All right. Well, uh, we'll
wait until tournament time

and see what
they're worth. Okay?

Bye.

I'm proud of you.

You showed respect,
and you showed discipline.

And believe me, I
know it wasn't easy.

Mr. Malloy?

Class, face Mr. Walker.

Bow.

Thank you, sir.

Face Mr. Malloy. Bow.

Thank you, sir.

Ready stance.

Excellent, class.

I'll see you all tomorrow.

Dismissed.

Man, that Jake
Lyons is so frustrating.

Well, let's see if we can work

some of that
frustration out of you.

That's what I need.

Arms looking good.

Keep pushing. Keep pushing.

Come on.

Stretch, stretch.

Nice. Come on, five more.

Come on.

Work the back. Pull.

One more. One more. Come on.

One more. One more. Come on.

He-yah!

He-yah!

Okay, now, relax. Relax.

He-yah! Better. Better.

Tap out.

Come on. Tap out.

Know you want to.

He-he. You know you
want to. Come on, tap out.

Still frustrated?

Are you kidding? More than ever.

Not at Lyons. At myself.

I had you, didn't I?

Almost.

Well, then how come I'm
the one who tapped out?

Well, because...

when you thought
you almost had me...

you got overconfident.

Then I had you.

So, Viper man, how do
you like being a detective?

Hm. Are you
kidding me? It's great.

I mean, don't get me wrong. I...

love being in uniform, but...

this?

Busting a big drug
ring, going undercover.

It's like a dream come true.

How do you like
working with Walker?

It's amazing.

Little intimidating.

The guy knows everything.

Tell me about it. Hm.

He really had a big
impact on you, didn't he?

Yeah, he sure did.

I mean, you remember
when I was a kid,

how much trouble
I used to get into.

Rebelling against
anything and everything.

If it hadn't been for Walker
teaching me martial arts, man...

I don't know where I'd be today.

Hey, Carlos, pull over.

Please. Leave me alone.

Stop lying to me!

I know you took
it. Now, where is it?

Sir, I did not
take it. Honest. I...

Where is it?

Leave him alone!

Mind your own business, jerk.

This bum stole my car radio.

I didn't steal nothing, mister.

I may be homeless,
but I ain't no thief.

What I tell you about... Hey.

I said, leave him alone.

Get out of here!

Come on, Jake.
Let's get out of here.

I want to thank you. MAN:
Come on, come on, come on.

I'm Charlie.

Charlie Clark.

Nice to meet you, Charlie.

Carlos Martinez.

Trent Malloy.

I-I really appreciate
what you just did.

There is not a
whole lot of folks

would stand up...
for someone like me.

I-if I can return the favor...

I-I will. Heh.

Thanks, Charlie, but
don't worry about it.

We're glad to help.

Just take care
of yourself, okay?

Thank you.

Now, how's your jaw?

What do you mean?

Well, your chin really gave
that guy's knuckles a pounding.

Very funny.

Seriously, Carlos,
I think it's time

you started training with me.

When?

Right now.

I don't know.

I can take care of myself
just with boxing. Come on.

Uh-huh. Yeah.

All right, you made your point.

Good.

Now, let's get
to work. All right.

All right, first, I'm gonna
show you a reverse punch.

Good, good.

Good? Good.

Good. Way to
breath. That's right.

Nice. That was the best one.

Good!

You know, with all your
moaning and groaning,

you're picking
this up really fast.

What can I say?
I'm a good student.

Or maybe I'm a good teacher.

Fifty thousand dollars.

That's quite a step up.

That's right. And you're
running out of time.

You only get one
more buy after this.

What if Johnny gets suspicious?

I mean, to go from
5,000 a pop to 50...

Tell him there's a
new buyer in town.

And tell him it's someone
with a distribution network

in place but no product.

And if Johnny wants to
meet this money man?

Well, that's what we're
hoping he will want.

Hey. Drinks on me, man.

He's got a distribution network

set up in L.A., but his
supplier got busted,

so... he can't get product.

He's looking at about 50 a week.

You can handle...

part of that, all of that, or...

none of that.

It's up to you.

I don't like doing
business with strangers.

I understand.

But then...

as my dear old
grandmother used to say:

"a stranger is merely a friend
whom you have yet to meet."

So, Carlitos, when do
I meet this new friend?

He's back in L.A. He'll
be here on Monday.

Excellent.

I'll have it ready by then.

Of course... and
I mean no offense

he'll want to meet El Vaquero.

I see no problem in that.

Good.

Then I'll leave this
in your care until then.

You'll join me in a toast?

Of course.

Here's to the big leagues.

Salud.

Have this checked out.

Watch his eyes.

His eyes?

Right before they attack,

a lot of guys open their
eyes just a little bit wider.

When you see that,
you know it's coming.

And if you know it's coming...

I'll be ready for 'em.

Thattaboy. Let me show you.

Oh. I saw that... Good.

Okay, you ready?

Excellent. Okay.

Excellent.

Do that in the tournament...

you're gonna be great.

We got him.

Johnny took the bait
hook, line and sinker.

We got our meeting
with El Vaquero.

When? Monday.

Okay, Carlos, I want you to
stay in constant contact with us.

When you change the
rules, anything can happen.

Gotcha.

Phew.

I'll be glad when this is over.

Hey, Johnny. The report's back.

See you later, baby.

And?

Fingerprints on the
shot glass... Mm-hm.

They belong to a
Carlos Sandoval.

Detective Carlos Sandoval.

Sandoval, huh?

Break!

Fight.

Break. Break.

On your lines.

Judges call point.

Point on this side.
Fighting stance.

Fight.

Break.

Judges call point.

Point on this side.
Fighting stance.

One more.

Fight.

Break.

On your lines.

Judges call point.

Face the judges, bow.

Face this way, bow.

Face each other,
bow. Touch gloves.

Winner on this side.
Thank you. Have a seat.

Sorry, Mr. Malloy.

Kevin, you did your
best, and you fought well.

No matter what
happened out there today,

you're still a winner.

Thank you, sensei.

Good job.

Huh.

They just gave the black
belts a 15-minute warning.

You ready?

Yeah.

Nervous?

Well, a little.

Good.

Hey, where's Carlos? I thought
he was supposed to be here.

Yeah, he was.

Juan.

Paco. What are
you guys doing here?

Johnny wants to see you.

Right now? Right
now is not a good time.

I got some place I got to be.

I'm already late.

Tell him I'll see him tomorrow.

You'll see him now.

You ready? TOMMY: Yes, sir.

Nervous?

A little bit.

Yeah. Good luck.

You wanted me... now you got me.

Seriously, guys, I got
places to go, people to see.

Speak English.

"Speak English"?

I'm sorry if this is
an inconvenience

for you, Carlitos.

Johnny, wha...
What is this? What...

What's this all about?

You said you wanted
to meet El Vaquero?

Yeah.

Then say hello, detective.

You're El Vaquero?

Okay, face here. Bow.

To your other, bow.

Here he goes.

Come on, Tommy.

Fighting stance. Ready, fight.

Break!

Judges, call.

One point.

Now...

who else knows about
our little operation?

I'm sorry.

That's privileged
information. I...

I could tell you, but
I'd have to kill you. Mm.

This is not a game, Carlitos.

Now, I'm not gonna lie to you.

You are a dead man.

But it's up to you.

You want to die the easy way...

or the hard way?

All right. Yeah, you
give me no other option.

You're all under arrest.

Fight!

Break. Judges, call!

He's not thinking.

Point: 2-0.

Fight.

Watch his eyes.

Fight!

Had enough?

Enough?

You didn't knock me down, right?

I'm still standing here.

That's funny.

Fighting stance.

Fight!

Break!

Great. Finally scored a point.

Yeah. Now he's thinking.

Judges, call.

Point: 2-1.

Fight.

Judges, call.

Point.

It's tied up now.

Two-two.

Come here.

Does the word "telegraph"
mean anything to you?

Why don't you send him a letter,

tell him what you're gonna do?

Ridiculous.

Point.

Two-two. Last point.

Fight!

Come on, Tommy. Fight!

Come on!

Yeah!

Yes!

Yes. Whoo!

Judges, call.

And call.

Point. Winner.

To each other.

Hey, detective. You want funny?

Before you die,

there's something
I want you to know.

Your brother... Hector,

who got killed in
the street like a dog?

The guy that shot him...

was me.

Help!

And you know why?

Because he betrayed me.

Just like you.

Guess what?

It's time to die.

Get rid of the body.

Where did he go?

Boy!

Man, I am so proud of you!

Oh, man. That felt so good.

And it should. But remember,
you got four more matches, okay?

You're never gonna
make that mistake!

Are you listening
to what I'm saying?

Is that what I taught you?

No, sensei.

Give me a second.

You might as well
take out an e-mail,

put an ad in the paper:
"I'm throwing a kick now."

Hey. You fought good.

I lost, okay?

That's 'cause you
open your eyes.

What?

Right before you attack,

you open your eyes
just a little bit wider.

That's how I knew
you were coming, man.

That's why you were ready?

Okay.

Ah, your little brother won.

That's good.

Good for you.

You Malloys all think
you are so smart,

and I keep hearing about
what a great fighter you are.

And I watch you, and I
am not that impressed.

I got to say, I can't wait
to get you on the mat.

Well, this isn't the time,
and this isn't the place.

But believe me, Lyons,
that time is coming.

And when it does...

you won't like it.

What was that all about?

Absolutely nothing. Is he okay?

Hey, Tommy. Congratulations.

Congratulations, man.

I thought Carlos
was coming down.

Yeah, I thought so too,

but when I called him at
home, there was no answer.

Maybe he's just running late.

I hope that's the case.

I'm gonna call Trivette.

See if he checked in.

Who's that?

It's no one.

You go on, get out of here.

Go on.

Johnny... he's gone.

You shot him.

We were both there. We saw it.

Johnny, he's gotta be dead.

Dead?

How does a dead body
get up and walk away, hm?

It doesn't.

I want him found, and
I want him found now!

He couldn't have
gotten very far.

Trivette says he
hasn't called in.

I don't like this.
We're going in.

Can you get the search warrants?

You've got 'em. What
do you want me to do?

Go check Carlos' apartment.

You got it.

You can't just throw me out.

You know the rules.

You stole from the community.

You cannot stay here.

Fine. I'll go.

But you ain't seen
the last of me.

Not by a long shot.

Get out of my way.

Get out of my way. Hey. Hey.

Get out of here.

Daniel.

There's something
you need to see.

Oh, my God.

This man needs a doctor.

No. No, we can't.

I-I think he may be wanted.

And you brought him here?

I owed it to him.

A few days ago,
some men attacked me.

They... They thought I
stole something from them.

And-and this man stopped 'em.

And he didn't
have to, but he did.

Now, I promised him...

if I could ever
return the favor...

You gave your word,
and we'll honor that.

But if you really want to honor
your promise to this man...

you'll get him some help.

I don't like it.

Over there.

Check the shops.

Come on.

Come on home. Mom's got dinner.

What am I gonna do, huh?

We... What am I supposed to do?

Trent... Trent...

Trent, I'm... I'm
thirsty, Trent.

Trent Malloy.

We still haven't heard
from Detective Sandoval.

We have to assume
something's gone wrong.

So we're gonna bust
the Vaqueros' drug cartel.

I've got the warrants.

Oh, great. Thanks, Alex.

Yeah.

All right. Let's go.

Now, it's very important.

Have you seen him?

No.

Hey, Paco. What about this guy?

Hey!

You!

Yeah. Come here.

Come here.

Listen... we're looking
for a friend of ours.

He's about 5'11", 185 pounds...

longish dark hair...

he may be wounded,
and we gotta find him.

You say he's a friend of yours?

Yeah. That's right.

How good of a friend is he?

Real good.

All right, the
place is closed...

We're gonna turn around. Move.

All right, don't use
the light. Come on.

The easy way or
the hard way, guys?

Good choice.

Cops!

Come on.

Keep moving.

Well, we got everyone
but Johnny Prima

Paco Montalvo, and Juan Ortiz.

Why don't you take 'em
back to Ranger headquarters.

See if you can make 'em talk.

All right. What
are you gonna do?

I'm gonna look for Carlos.

Mr. Malloy?

Charlie, what are
you doing here?

I-it's about your
friend. He's hurt.

You need to come with
me. Come on. Get in the car.

Hey, what's going on here?

Who's that guy with you?

Dan what's going on here?

You are not welcome here.

Why don't you tell
that to my friends.

Just get out of the way...

No. You must leave.

Oh, no, man.

The next one takes
a bullet, all right?

All right, all right,
all right, all right.

He's in here.

He was right here. I
swear, he was right here.

All right. They've hidden him.

Tell me where he is. Hm?

Tell me where
he is... or she dies.

No, man. No, no.
Leave her alone.

Yeah, hello.

Yeah, Walker. It's Trivette.

What's up?

Got a call from Trent Malloy.

Says a homeless guy has
Carlos at a homeless encampment

down at the end of Commerce.

He's supposed to
be pretty badly hurt.

I'll check it out.

All right. See ya.

Better not be lying to me.

Which way? That way? Mm-hm.

Come on.

Over there?

Come on.

There? There?

So... I see you
took the hard way.

But it doesn't surprise me...

'cause your brother
was stupid too.

Yah!

Easy, Jackie Chan.

I don't know who
you are, mister...

but you made a bad mistake.

Drop it!

You okay?

Yeah.

He's alive.

I'll call an ambulance.

You're gonna make it,
buddy. Hang in there.

And the drug bust was a success.

What about Johnny Prima?

He's dead.

The rest are awaiting trial.

And thanks to your good work,

they are all gonna go
away for a very long time.

Hm.

El Vaquero, we'll
get him, Carlos.

Just a matter of time.

Johnny was El Vaquero.

What are you talking about?

Johnny made up El Vaquero...

in order to give himself an
advantage in negotiations.

So he would be the good guy,

and El Vaquero
would be the heavy.

Yeah. Probably thought
if he ever got caught,

he could buy himself
leniency by giving him up.

That was smart. Hm.

Yeah.

Well, there's
something else, Carlos.

What?

Yeah, when we were talking to
Paco Montalvo and Juan Ortiz,

they revealed that
they were both there

when Johnny killed Hector.

He killed your brother
because he wouldn't deal drugs.

Hector was trying to get clean,

and Johnny wanted
to keep him dirty.

When he couldn't do that,

he killed him as a
warning to everybody else.

All this time, I... I thought...

I love you, 'mano.

I'm sorry.
