Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 6, Episode 9 - Mr. Justice - full transcript

Feeling that merely locking up criminals is making a dent in the crime rate, Walker makes a proposal for new kind reformatory, before Senator Kay Hutchinson. The prison commissioner who feels that Walker's proposal will jeopardize his plan to get more funds to build more prisons opposes his plan. But the Senator gives Walker a shot. Luther Dobbs is sent to evaluate Walker's program. So 10 young first time offenders arrive at what is called Camp Justice. Walker makes some headway with some of them. But when one of them gets into it with one of the guards the program is in danger.

( slow, dramatic theme playing)

MAN: The criminal justice
system is overburdened as it is.

ALEX: The number of repeat
offenders rises every year.

You're all talking problems.

What we need to
talk here are solutions.

And the solution is as old
as the Bible, and just as clear.

An eye for an eye...

"Makes the whole world blind."

We're talking about

young people here, commissioner.

The target population
for this group

is between the
ages of 18 and 21.

They're still
criminals, Miss Cahill.

Yes, they are,

and they deserve to be punished.

But if we send 'em
off to Huntsville,

they're gonna be hardened
by that experience,

and we'll lose them forever.

MAN 2: Well, that's
all well and good,

but I agree with
the commissioner.

The solution to the rising crime
rates is not more programs.

It's more prisons.

With all due respect,
Commissioner Simpson,

Deputy Commissioner Dobbs,

we've tried that.

We've built more prisons,

we've put more people in them.

It simply doesn't work.

What we need is alternatives.

Come on, Miss
Cahill. Face reality.

These programs just don't work.

This is just a waste of
time, energy and money.

Doesn't this remind you
of being back in school.

Going to the principal's office?

I wouldn't know.

I never had to go to
the principal's office.

Get out of here.

I didn't.

I mean, I wasn't a brat like you

when you were a kid.

Your mom told me all about you.

Said you were a real brat.

My mom never...

WOMAN: As you may
imagine, Ranger Walker,

your proposal has
received vigorous debate.

You have quite a champion

in Assistant District
Attorney Cahill.

And you have a few skeptics.

However, because of your
long and dedicated service

to the people of Texas,

this committee's going
to give you a chance.

We have decided to fund

a pilot project of
about six weeks.

We will evaluate it,

and at the end of that time,

we will determine the
funding of the future.

What will be the basis of
the evaluation, senator?

Deputy Commissioner Dobbs

has volunteered to spend
the full six weeks with you.

He will be the eyes and
ears of the committee.

Of course, we will
make the final decision,

but his report is going
to be given great weight.

Thank you, senator.

SIMPSON: Three months from now,

the largest prison-bond issue

in the history of
the state of Texas

goes before the voters.

Hundreds of millions of dollars

for more prisons, more guards.

Now, programs like Walker's...

Programs that give
false hope to the voters

could jeopardize the
passage of that bond issue.

It's up to you and your report

to see to it that Walker fails.

Is that understood?

Yes, sir.

But breaking out

gonna be a piece of cake.

(chattering)

Yo, Perretti.

Can I ask you something? What?

You got any naked
pictures of your mom?

'Cause if you don't,

maybe I could sell you some.

(prisoners hoot, jeer)
Not worth it, Tony.

Let's go. All right, let's go.

Everybody off the bus.

Line 'em up! All right,
let's go. Line 'em up!

Get off me.

WALKER: All right.
Unshackle 'em.

My name is Walker.

This is Trivette.

For the next six weeks,

you men will be
given an opportunity.

An opportunity
to work as a team,

an opportunity to prove
yourselves as individuals...

MAN (scoffs): Whatever.

And an opportunity to
turn your lives around.

This can be a one-way
ticket to your future

or a one-way
ticket to Huntsville.

It's your choice.

TRIVETTE: Rules here are simple.

Do what you're told
when you're told.

Follow instructions.

You'll have no problems.

So, what you saying?

We don't follow orders,

and we're gonna have problems?

MAN: Yeah, what's that? Huh?

(chuckles)

(all snicker) Yeah, right.

What's your name?

Mad Dog.

Well, Mad Dog...

think of this as your
worst nightmare.

MAN 2: Ooh.

And from now on, you
will address us as "sir."

WALKER: Sergeant
Lewis. LEWIS: Yes, sir.

WALKER: Take these men to
the supply room and outfit 'em.

All right, let's go. Move it.

MAN 3: Yeah, yeah. MAN
4: Now, come on, man.

LEWIS: Go!

Kimberly Johnson?

What's she doing here?

WALKER: Uh, Alex's idea.

She wasn't sure that Dobbs

would be fair in his assessment.

( dramatic theme playing)

That's a good idea. Mm-hm.

Ranger Walker.

Miss Johnson.

Ranger Trivette. Hi.

I want you both to know that,

though I personally support
what you're trying to do here,

I intend to be
completely unbiased

in my coverage of this story.

And if it works, my
viewers will know it.

And if it doesn't...

Your viewers will know it.

Fair enough.

Thank you, Ranger.

Thank you. Thanks.

( majestic theme playing)

(van door closes)

TRIVETTE: Luis "Flaco" Lopez,

aggravated assault.

Darryl "Cool" Waters,
attempted murder.

William "Billy Boy"
Cody, attempted robbery.

Jerry "Mad Dog" Sullivan.

Possession of a controlled
substance with intent to sell.

Jeez. Who picked these guys?

DOBBS: I did.

( tense theme playing)

Ranger Walker said he
wanted to test this program.

So you're saying if
these guys can make it...

No.

I'm saying they won't.

Move it, move it. Come along.
Get in here, ladies. Let's go.

This place reminds
me of your mom.

Yo! Ooh!

(all talking indistinctly)

LEWIS: Let's go, losers.
Come on. Get in here.

What's taking you so long?

I said get in there.

Go, go!

This is for you, little man.

Your daddy's gonna
do right. You'll see.

( tender theme playing)

(men chattering, laughing)

MAN 1: Oh, man.

MAN 2: Hey!

That's my bunk.

Not anymore it ain't.

All right! Get in there!

Get 'em!

(all shouting indistinctly)

Atten-hut!

I said attention!

Attention!

I said attention!

Attention!

I said attention!

Yeah. Yeah.

Looks like you men have
a little too much energy.

( majestic theme playing)

(prisoners wheezing
and groaning)

oh, man.

(whistle blows)

(all groaning, coughing)

CODY: Hey, man.

Look at these fools.

You'd think that was
hard or something.

I'm serious. I've
run farther than that

with a TV under each arm.

(both laugh)

You know... you men are right.

That wasn't hard enough.

(blows whistle)

Let's go! Come on!
TRIVETTE: Get up!

Let's go. Get up! Get up!

MAD DOG: Why don't you guys

just shut your mouths?

Get up! All right.

Go!

TRIVETTE: Come on, move it!

Go!

Come on!

MAN: Do the T-Rex.

Do the T-Rex!

(groans)

(all laughing, chattering)

Atten-hut!

All right, gentlemen,
that's it. Lights out.

Lights out?

Man, what you talking
about, lights out? It's only 9:00.

You're right, Mr. Harris.

It is early.

(all wheezing, coughing)

All right, gentlemen,
let's try it again.

Lights out.

Yeah, all right. Whatever.

ALL: Shut up, shut up.

What did you say?!

I said... ALL: Shut up!

Be quiet.

Yes, sir.

That's what I thought.
What I thought.

Yeah.

WALKER: One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five. Come on,
come on. (grunting)

Get down. Get down. Go.

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

Nine.

Come on.

Get your feet off the ground.

TRIVETTE: Harder. Pedal it.

Come on. Up! Let's go.

One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven.

All right. All right, men.

All together again.

(all groan) We're
gonna keep doing it

till everyone gets it right.

Do it again. Ready? Go.

One, two, three.

One, one, two, three.

Two, one, two...
Thirty-two, 33, 34, 35.

Keep going. Come on, Mr. Harris.

Come on, ten more. Ten more.

One, two, three. Five.

One, two, three. Six.

One, two, three. Seven.

One, two, three. Eight.

Most of 'em seem to
be coming along just fine.

This is just the second
day, Miss Johnson.

ALL: We're a team, sir!

We have a long way to go.

WALKER: You can
make easy choices,

fast choices...

or you can make smart choices.

Mr. Harris.

Yes, sir.

Let me give you a choice.

What if I was to offer you...

$100,000 right now...

(snickers): Yeah. Or...

a penny a day
doubled for 30 days.

Which one would you take?

(all chuckle)

One-hundred thousand
dollars or a penny?

Doubled every day
for 30 days. Um...

Excuse me, sir, but,
uh, you must be trippin'.

(all laugh)

Which one would you take?

I'd take the 100 large.

Let me see a show of hands
of all of you who believe

that Mr. Harris
made a smart choice.

MAN: Oh, yeah.

Okay. Let's see if Mr. Harris
did make a smart choice.

Now, if you'd have
taken a penny a day

doubled for 30 days,

here's what you would've gotten.

Five million,

three hundred
sixty-eight thousand,

seven-hundred nine dollars

and twelve cents.

(sighs) That's money.

WALKER: Smart
choices, gentlemen.

Mr. Harris, you
made the fast choice.

You all did.

That's what life is
all about, people.

Making the smart choices.

Not the fast choices
or the easy choices.

( majestic theme playing)

TRIVETTE: Forward
ho! To the left, left.

Left, right, left.

JOHNSON: Are you
ready to roll camera?

We're rolling.

Okay. I'm ready.

Ten hard-core young offenders,

too old for the
juvenile justice system,

but perhaps too young for
society to simply write off,

have embarked on a
rigorous six-week boot camp

under the hot Texas sun,

and under the careful eye

of Texas Ranger Cordell Walker.

Will they make it?

Is rehabilitation
still a possibility

in this day and age?

What does the future
hold for these young men

and the many others like them?

The answers to these
questions and more

hinge on the outcome
of this noble experiment.

This is Kimberly Johnson
reporting from Camp Justice.

I sure hope Cordell
knows what he's doing.

Mm. Doesn't he always?

Well, most of the time.
This time I'm not sure.

My concern is three strikes
is two pitches too many.

I say put 'em in jail,
throw away the key.

Let me ask you something, C.D.

Are you worried
that Walker might fail

or that he might succeed?

Alex, sometimes I
just can't talk to you.

(laughs)

MAN: Yo, check it out.

This fake Army
stuff's for suckers.

Yeah, I'm gonna go
along to get along,

but first chance I
get, I'm outta here.

(door opens)
TRIVETTE: Atten-hut!

( majestic theme playing)

Life is about setting goals.

You men set a goal to
complete this program.

Hasn't been easy.

But you've all risen
to the challenge.

I'm proud of you.

At ease.

(scoffs)

(indistinct chattering)

TRIVETTE: Atten-hut!

Who are we?!

ALL We're a team, sir!

What can we be?

ALL: Anything
we want to be, sir!

Company, ho!

Atten-hut!

As you were, men.

You gonna put that
in your report, sir?

MAN: You got it.

TRIVETTE: Keep
it up. Question, sir.

What is it, Mr. Harris?

Do we look like
farmers to you, sir?

(snickering) Well,
tell me this, Mr. Harris.

Have you ever grown
anything before?

No.

Have any of you ever
grown anything before?

MAN: Uh, not me. No.

Then how do you
know you won't like it...

until you try it?

HARRIS: I don't know.

Might surprise you.

Yeah, so come on, farmer boy,

let's get back to work.

JOHNSON: With one prisoner dead

and a guard on the
way to the hospital,

what began as a noble experiment

has turned into a tragedy.

Is this the end of Ranger
Walker's program?

Here comes Senator Hutchison.

She doesn't look
happy. (car door closes)

( somber theme playing)

HUTCHISON: The
stakes were already high,

Ranger Walker.

Yes, ma'am.

But they're even
higher now, senator.

The fact that one
man tried to escape

is not the issue here.

It's the fact that
nine men did not try.

And to punish these men
for something they didn't do,

I don't think is fair, senator.

So please reconsider.

What's your view,
Commissioner Dobbs?

It's your call, senator.

HUTCHISON: All right, Ranger.

I'm not going to pull the plug,

but you are on notice. If
anything even approaching

what happened this
morning does again,

you can rest assured

this program is history.

Yes, ma'am.

Damn! They just up
and shot him down

just like he was a dog.

That ain't right, man.

Walker didn't even do nothing,
and you know he could've.

Of course he could.

But see... they all
on the same side.

Damn straight.

That's the other side.

That's right.

And we was all just
a bunch of damn fools

for thinking anything
else. MAD DOG: I mean,

Walker's been playing
us the whole time.

What do you think we should do?

I say we play him right back.

I'm down for that.

You guys got a problem with me?

Yeah.

Yeah, we got a

If you guys have
a beef with me...

Yeah, we have a beef.
Let's settle it right now,

so we can get back to work.

(spits)

Now, whatever happens
here will stay here.

Who wants to be first?

What, if I kick your butt,
nothing's gonna happen?

That's right, Mr. Sullivan.

You want to be first?

Come on, Mad Dog.

Oh, yeah.

MAN: Come on, Mad
Dog. You take him out.

MAN 2: Yeah, baby.
MAN 3: Show it to him.

MAN 4: That's
right. (all chattering)

MAN 2: Get in there!

Come on, man. Don't
let him do that to you.

(grunting)

MAN 2: Come on, let's go.

(all coughing, groaning)

Darryl Waters made a choice.

And that choice got him killed.

Now, Senator Hutchison
wanted to send you to Huntsville,

but I talked her out of it,

because I still
believe in you guys.

I believe you want
something better out of life.

Now, tomorrow morning...

you've got a choice.

You either be on the line,

ready to get back to work,

or be on the bus.

Who are we?

ALL: We're a team, sir!

What can we be?

ALL: Anything
we want to be, sir!

They made the smart choice.

Mm-hm.

Back in business?

Looks that way.

GUARD: Check on

What's going on here, sergeant?

Contraband check, sir.

Standard procedure.

Oh, man! (murmuring)

Walker, look what
they did to our place.

MAN: This place was spotless.

All that work for nothing.

Come now, Walker,

just because things
aren't working out,

don't blame the guards.

They're undermining
everything we're trying to do here.

Ranger Walker,

I'm sure you understand
how the guards feel.

That injured guard
was one of their own.

He's a good man. He's
got a wife and two kids,

and he's lying
in a hospital bed,

thanks to one of your
punks that you call men.

Now, if you gentlemen will
excuse me, I have work to do.

( dial tone) (hangs up phone)

Why do I get the feeling

he's not gonna be
much help on this?

Run it over.

(guards laughing)

That'll teach them
to be hitting guards.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, they're tearing
up the garden!

(chattering)

(guns cock)

Here they come.

MAN: Hey, hey, hey.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What's up? You guys
think that's funny?

Oh, you think that's funny, huh?

Walker, we gotta do something.

Yeah.

A 60-mile hike?

Are you out of your mind?

WALKER: We'll be
gone for three days.

We're leaving tomorrow morning,

and we'll return by
Saturday at 5 p.m.

I've already got the approval
from Senator Hutchison.

You're planning on taking
that bunch of criminals

out into the woods
for three days?

Well, forget it.

I don't care what
the senator said.

Those guards are
under my direction,

and they're not going anywhere.

That's right, commissioner,
they're not going.

Trivette and I are
going to do it alone.

JOHNSON: And after
five-and-a-half weeks

of tragedy and triumph,

and with many questions
still unanswered,

this entire noble experiment

comes down to
the next three days.

Can Ranger Walker's boot
camp really make a difference

in the lives of these
troubled young men?

At 5:00 Saturday afternoon,

the world will have an answer.

Ranger Walker...
I'm going with you.

It's gonna be a
rough three days.

I still have my report to write.

Okay.

Atten-hut!

Right face! Move out.

( majestic theme playing)

They won't last a day.

What Cool didn't know
was you gotta pick your time.

And that time is
definitely coming.

( ominous theme playing)

( majestic theme playing)

All right, everyone,

let's, uh, make up camp here.

All right.

Let's get your tents up.

MAD DOG: A tent?

Man, we don't need no tents.

HARRIS: No, that's right.

Hey, we'll sleep
outside, under the stars.

You know, experience
nature, and fresh air and all.

DOBBS: You know,
actually, Ranger Walker,

it kind of makes sense.

Putting up tents is
a whole lot of work.

It looks like it's gonna
be a beautiful night.

TRIVETTE: That's
not a good idea.

Well, Trivette, if they want
to sleep out under the stars...

that's their choice.

Let's get our tent up.

All right. MAN: Let's go home.

Hey, there's a spot over there.

Me. I'm right here.

( slow, dramatic theme playing)

(bird cawing)

(thunder crashing)

(all yell indistinctly)

(all sneezing, coughing)

(thunder rumbling)

All right. It finally
stopped raining.

Now I know why
you put your tent up.

In nature, as in life...

all actions have
their consequences.

Isn't that right, Mr. Dobbs?

Yes, sir, Ranger.

Yes, sir.

Consequences,
my wrinkled butt, sir.

You knew it was gonna rain.

I knew it might
rain, Mr. Harris.

That's why we set up our tent.

WALKER: You decided
not to set up your tents...

and you suffered
the consequences.

TRIVETTE: All
right, got a big day

ahead of us, gentlemen.
Gather round here.

Come on. Get over here.

Food is here... the
water's over here...

and our new camp's
gonna be here.

You're gonna split
up into two groups.

One group will go for the water,

the other group
will go for the food.

We'll meet back
up at the campsite.

Any questions?

All right. Let's get ready.

Pretty day, isn't it?

Come on, you guys, we
don't want Walker's group

to beat us to camp.

( majestic theme playing)

Hey, guys. Look.

Yo. Come here.

Shh! Check it out.

(chuckles)

Man. Cool.

(whispers): Let's go.

I never seen one.

Hey, Mickey, you know
where we're going?

Yup.

Yeah, how you know that?

Call it a hunch.

Hey, there's the
water right there.

Yeah!

(all cackle)

Whoo!

Fine, huh? Look at that.

(all breathing heavily)

MAN: Yeah. All right.

Is that it?

I hope so. That's it, man.

Over there, man.
There it is, yo!

(all laugh, cheer)

Whoo! Walker, we did it!

(all cheering)

Good job, guys. Real good job.

WALKER: Okay. MAN:
Mm, that smells good.

ALL: Yeah. MAN
2: I'll give you a hand

with that, man.

MAN 3: Get it nice and
hot. MAN 4: That's right.

Check it out.

Put it back a little more.

How about some coffee?

Appreciate it, Ranger.

How's that report
coming, Mr. Dobbs?

Well...

it's not over yet,
Ranger Trivette.

You got about 23 hours

to get this group
back to Camp Justice.

Looking at this group,

that could be a very long time.

( ominous theme playing)

(men chattering)

MAN: Roll it
tight. Roll it tight.

(vehicle approaches)

MAN 2: What is that?

You guys stay here.

What can I do for you fellas?

What you can do is, you
can get that bunch of trash

out of the woods.

TRIVETTE: Hey, why don't
you men get back in your jeep

and drive on out of here?

Shut up, boy! No
one's talking to you.

MAN: Whoa, hey, man.
Watch out. Watch out.

You shouldn't have done that.

Oh, no?

Hyah!

(grunting)

Yo, you think we
should help them?

You think they need it?

No.

( slow, dramatic theme playing)

Man, I sure am glad Walker
didn't get that mad at us.

I'm serious.

Get out of here. Ah!

Move along.

MAN: All right, all right!

MAN 2: Yes.

(all cheer)

MAN 3: All right, Walker!

Come on! Move it!

There's a park ranger station
about three miles from here.

I'm gonna go fill out a report.

Okay, we'll finish
breaking camp.

Trivette. I'll go with you.

Okay, guys, let's break camp.

Yes, sir! All right.

MAN: You got it, man.

MAN 2: Let's move.

I gotta practice
that move. Yeah.

Did you see that?

Ranger Walker.

Where'd you get that?

Ooh!

Gimme that.

(grunts)

All right, boys.

Time to go.

( dramatic theme playing)

( angelic theme playing)

You okay, Ranger Walker?

Yeah.

Who hit me?

Mad Dog.

Where is he?
He's right there, sir.

He stole that gun I
showed you from that jeep

those guys were in.

He wanted to break out...

and he wanted us to go with him.

But we didn't. Why not?

Well, we just
remembered what you said

about making all the
smart choices and all that.

TRIVETTE: what's going on?

HARRIS: Mad Dog hit Ranger
Walker in the back of the head

and then wanted us
all to break out with him.

But then Mohammed
walked over there and bam,

dropped him like a bad habit.

Then we tied him to
that tree right there.

(grunting)

Yo, he's getting away.

Get him!

MAN: Hey, Mad Dog!

( suspenseful theme playing)

MAN: Come on, Mad Dog!

Can't get away!

(groans)

Ow!

This way! Watch it! Watch it!

MAN 2: There he is.

My leg!

My leg!

MAN 2: There he is.
MAN 3: There he is.

Okay... Stop. Ow...!

Don't move.

Bone's broken.

I saw a chopper pad back
at the park ranger station.

I'll call for medevac.

Okay.

Choices and consequences, man.

ALL: Yeah.

Weren't you paying
any attention?

WALKER: We're
gonna have to carry him.

Carry him?

Can't we just shoot him?

MAN: Yeah.

( dramatic theme playing)

Luther.

Party's over, Ranger.

What do you mean?

I told you from the beginning

this wasn't gonna work.

Now I'm pulling the plug.

DOBBS: You can't
do that, commissioner.

You don't have the authority.

The committee gave
Ranger Walker six weeks.

He has six more hours.

We set a goal, commissioner.

We're gonna finish it.

You're talking
about a 20-mile hike.

It's impossible.

LOPEZ: We won't know that...

unless we try it, sir.

ALL: That's right, man.

Let's do it. All right, then.

But you better be back before 5,

or this program is a failure.

And you all know
what that means.

Let's go.

We're with you.

MAN: Let's do it!

(all chattering)

( dramatic theme playing)

(all breathing heavily)

Five o'clock.

They failed.

With all due respect, senator,
I knew this wouldn't work.

TRIVETTE: Left,
left, left... Listen.

TRIVETTE: left, left, left,

left, right, left.

Left, left, left, right, left.

( majestic theme playing)

Whew.

Well, commissioner...

the impossible has
been accomplished.

Congratulations, Ranger Walker.

Thank you, senator.

Ah... (giggles)

We did it, Dobbs.

Congratulations, Ranger.

Thanks.

( somber theme playing)

GUARD: Welcome
to Huntsville Prison.

( whistle blows)

( prisoners shouting)

( clanging and glass crashing)

BILLY BOY: choices
and consequences, man.

( whistle blows)

Weren't you paying
any attention?

( buzzer sounds)

( cell door slams)

(all chattering)

GUARD: There they are, let's go.

All right, men.

Come out. Let's go.

Let's move it. Let's move it.

Come on. Let's go. Come on. Go.

Hey! End of the line.

(indistinct shouting)

Line up!

DOBBS: Unshackle them.

My name is Luther Dobbs.

I'm the commanding
officer at Camp Justice.

For the next six weeks...

you men will have
an opportunity.

An opportunity
to work as a team.

An opportunity to prove yourself

as an individual.

An opportunity to
turn your life around.

Rules: simple.

Do what you're told
when you're told.

Follow orders...
and there won't be

any problem.

Move 'em out!

Let's go! Come on!

Move! Move! Move! Move!

Move 'em!

WALKER: That's what
life is all about, people.

Making the smart choices.

Not the fast choices
or the easy choices.

Making the smart choices.

That's what life is all about.
