Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 6, Episode 20 - Warriors - full transcript

Without any question,
genetic engineering

is the first and
the final frontier

of scientific investigation

as we prepare to
enter the 21st century.

And here at Regenitech,

we are on the cutting edge

of the upcoming
scientific revolution.

And with your company's help,

we can proceed to the
next level of our research.

Undifferentiated DNA.

The basic building block
of all living organisms.

What is that?

We call it smart DNA.

And it's a complete breakthrough

in genetic research.

Smart DNA.

Sounds more like
science fiction to me.

If you will allow
me to demonstrate?

Gentlemen and ladies,
meet Prometheus.

A rat?

That's correct.

And, in almost
all respects, a...

A rather ordinary one.

Except Prometheus
has been injected

with the smart DNA.

Uh, how...?

Well, I'll be... You've
convinced me.

You've got your money.

And don't you say anything.

Say what, Cordell?

That I look good in a tuxedo.

Now, why in the world

would I say that
you look good in a...

You do look good in a tuxedo.

I can't win here.

You ought to wear
one more often.

Alex. Susan.

Hey.

Hi!

Hi. Hi, Susan.

Everyone, this is Keith.

Keith Portman.

Alex.

How do you do?

Jimmy Trivette.

Nice to meet you.

Walker. Hi. How are you?

Nice to meet you.

These are my
very special friends

that I've been
telling you about.

How you feeling?

Oh, I'm feeling pretty good.

Wait till tomorrow

when C.D.'s chili really hits.

Heh. I can't wait.

My friends really liked you.

Well, good. I'm glad.
I... I like them too.

How about lunch tomorrow?

Only if it's my treat.

It's a deal.

Good night.

This is mine.

You gave me this, Master Rin.

Yes.

For your birthday.

Thirty years ago.

The lama has returned.

Come on, Max, let's go.

Max, come on.

Hey, what's going on?

What are you guys doing?

None of my business.

Come on.

Boris.

Maybe we can go
over this one more time.

Tell me again what happened.

Well, I, uh... I
had just come out

to walk the dog, and I saw 'em

dump Ms. Lee into
the back of the van.

You say there were three of 'em?

Yeah, three.

You know, I... I
started after them,

to, you know... To try to help,

but the cowards took off
before I could do anything.

Good thing for them too.

All right. Thank you, sir.

Yeah.

I checked the house.

No forced entry.

No sign of a struggle.

What does that mean?

Beats me.

Walker, that's
Susan's son, Davey.

They began about four weeks ago.

What began four weeks ago?

My dreams.

That someone was hurting my mom.

Who was hurting your mom, Davey?

I don't know. It was
kind of confusing.

Wait a second.

You're telling us...?

Davey, you came 6,000 miles

because you were
having a bad dream?

Ah, Ranger Trivette,

you have kept your skepticism.

It's not skepticism.

All right, it's skepticism.

You see, Ranger Trivette,

in Buddhism, we
believe that all things

are a manifestation

of a single greater
consciousness.

While we are awake,
our ego prevents us

from getting in touch
with this higher stream.

But when we are asleep,

our ego is off guard

and we are able to tap into it.

Two days ago, the
dreams got really bad.

No, not bad... urgent.

I knew my mother needed me.

All right, hold on.

Somebody broke into Regenitech.

That's where Susan works.

They killed a guard too.

Master Rin, where
are you staying?

Well, we have made arrangements

to stay at a small monastery,

not far from here.

I'll have someone
take you over there.

Oh, it will be
greatly appreciated.

Ranger Walker, this
involves my mother.

I can be helpful.

Please let me go with you.

They do have a very
strong connection.

Okay, Davey, you go.

Walker, this isn't
standard procedure.

Well, Davey's not a
standard kid, Trivette.

The victim's name
was Bart Baker.

According to his supervisor,

he was an amateur bodybuilder,

runner-up in Mr. Longhorn
competition last year.

He took quite a beating.

And whoever did it
had to be real strong.

Kid had a neck like a fireplug,

and it was snapped
like a toothpick.

Okay. Thank you.

Whoever threw this guy

threw him so hard he
almost went through the door.

Walker, there's no
human being that strong.

The ultimate warrior.

Superhuman strength,
catlike reflexes,

training in the martial arts
and hand-to-hand combat...

And now the
gift of invincibility,

thanks to Ms. Lee
and her smart DNA.

Doctor, do you know
what they were after?

Do you have any idea
if anything was stolen?

You know, it's strange.

Only a few pieces were taken.

A few prototype machines,

some growth enzyme,

and some of Susan's
blood samples.

Could be industrial espionage.

Well, you know, we...

We can't rule anything out,

but it doesn't make any sense.

Why not? Whoever did this

would never be able to market it

without immediately
identifying themselves

as the people
behind the break-in.

So you have no idea
who could have done this?

No, I don't.

Ranger Walker.

I just heard.

Uh, has there been
any more... Uh...

Davey.

Hi.

I'm Keith Portman.

I'm a friend of your mother's.

She's told me a lot about you.

Has there been any
more word on Susan?

No, not yet.

Dr. Buckler,

what exactly was
Susan working on?

Uh, you know, we could

try to explain it to you,

but, uh, if our assumptions
are correct, and, um,

with Davey's permission,
I think maybe a...

A demonstration
of Susan's research

will clarify everything.

Okay. You all right?

Okay.

Ah. Okay.

Hold your arm
just like that, okay?

Thank you.

I've been here before.

Your mother said that

she'd only been working here

a couple of months, Davey.

I mean in my dreams.

Here we go.

A string of normal,
undifferentiated DNA.

A string of Susan Lee's DNA,

the most genetically
advanced DNA

I have seen in over
20 years of research.

Oh, my God.

That's incredible.

Davey's DNA is to Susan's
what Susan's is to normal.

So Davey and Susan's DNA

have the ability to transform
themselves in a time of crisis.

How do you know that?

This is absolutely the
cutting edge of biotechnology.

Well, when I first met Davey,

he cut himself.

Yeah, and it
healed up instantly.

But Master Rin said
that that was magic.

You know, Ranger Trivette,

magic is a word that people use

for something science
isn't able to explain.

And your research...?

It changes everything.

In effect, what we
are talking about

is a complete
medical revolution,

providing new ways of
dealing with everything.

From a common cold, to cancer.

And Susan Lee's DNA is the key?

That's why they abducted her.

Ah, Dr. Lee.

I see you are back with us.

What do you want?

Who are you?

All in due time, doctor.

All in due time.

What are you doing?

No.

No.

Oh, why?

Why are you doing this?

After we left C.D.'s,
I took her home.

Kissed good night,
made plans for lunch,

and then I left.

What time did you leave?

Uh, about 11, I think it was.

It was our first date.

Valentine's Day.

I... I-I can't believe that...

If they hurt her...

He's lying.

Wait a minute, Davey.

Why would you say that?

Remember when I told
you about my dreams,

about someone hurting my mother?

Uh-huh.

They started four
weeks ago yesterday.

Valentine's Day.

Anything on Keith Portman?

Not a thing.

You know what's bugging me?

I run a name
through this computer,

something always pops up.

Overdue library
book, parking ticket,

some type of complaint, right?

This guy, he's way
too clean for me.

Hm.

Well, for some reason,

Davey doesn't trust him.

These dreams Davey's having,

you really think there's
something to 'em?

Yeah, I do.

Master Rin, there is something

which concerns me.

Yes?

In the monastery,

we seek to remove ourselves

from the world, to
isolate ourselves.

That is true.

But there's so much
evil in the world.

Ah, young master,
you are asking,

as they say on bumper stickers

here in the United States,

if we are not part
of the solution,

are we then not
part of the problem?

Ah.

Yin and yang.

Light and dark.

Man and woman.

Good and evil.

Now, none of these may exist

without the other.

So does Buddhism teach

that we must simply accept evil?

No, Davey.

It merely awakens us to it

and teaches us
to see it clearly.

How we deal with it is up to us.

World government, Dr. Lee.

One single body

charged with overseeing
the manufacture

and fair distribution of goods

and resources around the world.

Well, I hate to be the
bearer of bad news,

but that's already been tried.

It was called
communism, and it failed.

Yes, it did, but I will not.

What does this
have to do with me?

It is your research which
makes it all possible.

My research?

Oh, don't be modest, Dr. Lee.

I'm well aware of the work
you are doing at Regenitech.

Smart DNA.

An end to cancer,
genetic disease,

paralysis, the
beginnings of immortality.

You're insane.

Dr. Buckler.

Ranger Walker.

Sorry to bother
you, but I'd like to ask

a few more questions. Certainly.

You said that
whoever broke in here

knew exactly what to take.

That's correct.

But if you're thinking that this

might have been
some kind of inside job,

you can forget it.

Our people are among

the highest paid in
the entire industry.

And... And our personnel
screening process

would make the Pentagon proud.

What about Keith Portman?

Keith Portman?

Y... You can't be serious.

I am serious.

Keith Portman's
credentials are impeccable.

He finished at
the top of his class

in bioengineering at Cal Poly.

Ranger Walker, I don't
mean to tell you your business,

but with his record and
his recommendations,

Regenitech was
darn lucky to get Keith.

Damn it.

What's wrong?

Look at it.

But it worked.

The wound healed itself
in a matter of seconds.

Yes, yes, I know that.

Look at the scar tissue.

In the event of a
wound to the body,

it could be merely
just superficial.

But in the event of a wound

to the heart or the brain,

it could prove to be
a significant problem.

And this, thanks to Susan's son,

is a significant solution.

It's a sign of some kind.

Yeah.

But where?

"E-W-S."

Trivette, run a check

on all businesses
in the metroplex

that have the
letters E-W-S in 'em.

Davey, now, you said that

you saw this while
you were meditating.

Master Rin, I have an idea.

This is... Susan's DNA.

The same DNA that we cloned

and injected into Boris.

And this... is her son's.

That's incredible.

Will it solve the problem?

I don't know.

But there's only
one way to find out.

With this sample

and the materials
that we borrowed

from Regenitech,

we should be able to
clone all the smart DNA

that we're ever gonna need.

How long will this take?

I can probably have it finished

in less than an hour.

Excellent.

You're not gonna hold
this against me, are you?

You're not gonna hold
this against me, are you?

What did you see, Davey?

Equipment, like in a lab.

The stuff that was
stolen from Regenitech?

Could be.

What else did you see?

Keith Portman.

He was there too.

He blew my mom a kiss,

but he didn't mean it.

I think it's time we
had another talk

with Keith Portman.

It won't work.

Why not?

The settings on the centrifuge,

they're not right.

What is she talking about?

Nothing. She's lying.

Okay, fine.

Have it your way.

But it won't work.

Are you positive
that the settings

are correct?

He doesn't know.

He never handled that
part of the procedure.

She... Why...? Why
would she help us?

This is my research.

I've devoted everything to it.

If it's gonna be done,

I want it to be done right.

I guess I'm not
so insane after all.

I knew that your
scientific curiosity

would get the better of you.

All right, Dr. Lee,
adjust the machine.

Hey, what are you doing?

No!

The centrifuge is replaceable.

She is not.

You two, take her to her room.

And you, Dr. Portman,

had better get us
another centrifuge

from Regenitech.

You're a hard man
to find, Mr. Portman.

Come on.

We need to ask
you a few questions.

We already know

you're involved with
Susan Lee's disappearance.

Look, make it
easier on yourself.

Make it easier on yourself.

Tell us where she is.

Agh. I already told
you, Ranger Trivette,

I-I-I have nothing more
to say on this conversation

until I speak with my attorney.

Keith Portman has been arrested.

We don't have enough
genetic material.

And we need that
equipment to make more.

Without it, we're finished.

Maybe not.

What do you mean?

Well, doctor,

if Mohammed will not
come to the mountain...

Keith Portman's
crying for his attorney

and he's not gonna
talk until he gets here.

You know, something
must have happened.

He took a big
gamble trying to steal

a second centrifuge.

And it didn't pay off.

So, what would
be their next move?

Davey.

That's good, that's good.

Sweep, that's good.

What do you want?

Come here, kid.

No, put me down.

Let go of me. Let go of me.

Help! Put me down!

Help, Ranger Walker! Help!

Get the boy.

Aah! Ranger Walker, help!

Put him down.

Put him down.

You did hit him, didn't you?

Dead center.

It's okay, Mom.

It's gonna be okay.

I found 47 companies

in the metroplex
whose names contain

some combination
of the letters E-W-S.

So even if we mobilize
the entire task force,

it could take days
to find the right one.

Tell 'em to get on it,

and we don't have days.

You got it.

E.F. Mathews Engineering.

I saw that sign before,

when I was meditating.

But only a part of it.

What is it, Davey?

I have an idea.

Maybe there's a way

to have Ranger Walker help us.

I can have everything
ready by morning.

But without the equipment
to replicate the DNA,

the procedure's very dangerous.

The boy could die.

A small sacrifice

for an immeasurably
greater good.

Get started.

E.F. Mathews Engineering.

E.F. Mathews Engineering.

E.F. Mathews Engineering.

They're down off Commerce.

Davey and Susan are
somewhere near there.

Let's find them.

Get the boy.

I got a question.

When we find these guys,

what are we gonna do about
our gorilla from the monastery?

We'll figure it out
when we get there.

Great.

Remember, behave yourself.

Or your mother dies.

Call for backup.

Dispatch, this is Trivette.

We need some
backup at the south alley

of Malcolm X and
Trailer in Deep Ellum.

We've got company.

It's a Texas Ranger.

Kill him.

Let us get out of here.

Let me go.

Davey!

Texas Rangers!

Freeze!

Trivette, watch out!

Against the fence.

Come on.

It's like my father always says.

Just because you
can do something,

doesn't mean that you should.

Yeah, but your research
seemed so important.

It is.

But we've gotten too far

ahead of ourselves.

There's just too much
we don't understand.

So for now, my work will remain

where it belongs,
in the realm of theory

rather than practice.

Well, I'll be a speckled trout.

Come on over
here, you guys, and...

And get a bowl of
Davey's recipe chili.

We call it Dalai Lama Lava.

What?

Honey, you look awful.

Well, I got whipped
on pretty good.

Does it hurt?

A little bit.
Especially right here.

Can I kiss it and
make it feel better?

Hurts a little bit here too.

Oh, there too?

Okay.
