Congratulations to
our top three finishers,

Martha, Audrey, and Sally.

They will be going on
to San Antonio next week

to represent North Texas.

Did you see me, Ranger Walker?

I sure did, hon.

You were great.

Was I brave?

You were sure brave.

Hey, Mom, Ranger
Walker said I was brave.

Oh, I love you, Ranger Walker.

I love you, too, hon.

I don't know, but I'd
say that somebody

has a crush on you know who.

Yeah, you're right, I
do, but don't get jealous.

Really, Mr. Foley, things
are lining up perfectly.

We got the judge we wanted,

we got the jury we wanted.

I had one of the
clerks at the law firm

run a series of simulations
through the computer,

and by all indications

you have an 83 percent
chance of acquittal.

Eighty-three percent?

Mm-hm.

What's that, like
five out of six?

Exactly, sir.

I must say, those
are excellent odds.

One bullet, five empty chambers.

If I pull this trigger, you
got an 83 percent chance

I don't blow you away.

Now do you still think
those are excellent odds?

No, sir, Mr. Foley.

Neither do I.

That's why I'm takin'
matters into my own hands.

Take the day off.

Go play some golf.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Riggs.

I'll make it simple.

His name is Trent Malloy.

He's the only
witness left standing

between me and my freedom.

And you want him dead.

Yeah.

Two hundred and fifty thousand.

Fifty now, 200,000
on completion.

That's a lot of money.

Don't let his looks fool you.

He's more dangerous
than you think.

Excuse me, Mr. Foley,

but I already told you, I
can take care of Malloy.

And I work alone.

I can appreciate that.

Because I work alone too.

Have you got any milk?

Alex, you've got
nothing to worry about.

Foley may have scared
the other witnesses

into changing their stories,

but I don't scare that easy.

I know that, Trent, but I
really want to win this one.

When is the trial?

Ten days.

I wish it were tomorrow.

Yeah, me too.

She's got me so prepared
I'm testifying in my sleep.

Hey, ready for the big day?

Yeah.

I can't believe I let you
guys talk me into this.

Talk you into what?

Nothing, never mind, not a word.

This has gotta be the
lamest thing I've ever done.

Like anyone's
gonna fall for this.

My feet ache, my
back is killing me,

and this bra...

I don't even wanna go there.

By the way, whose idea was it
to give me such large breasts?

Are you guys listening to me?

Yes, we're listening, Carlos.

Carlos, we've had six women

from the senior center
hit in the last three weeks.

Four of them wound
up in the hospital.

Yeah, I know, I know,
but still, I mean, seriously,

how stupid does somebody have
to be to mistake me for a woman?

Oh, I don't know.

I've always thought
you had a sort of

feminine quality.

A what? What'd you say?

He said you had a
feminine quality, Carlos.

Ha-ha, very funny.

I'm serious, you guys, I mean,
how much longer are we...

Hold the phone.

I think we may have something.

Four morons headed this way.

Let's go.

Look at that old woman.

She's talking to herself.

Let's do it.

Aah!

Whoa!

Aah!

Whoa!

It's hard fighting in a dress.

Don't even say it.

Say what? Did I say anything?

No, you didn't say anything.

I didn't say anything.

Hello, ladies.

Well, hi.

Donna, how's Sally doing?

She's great, she's looking
forward to San Antonio.

Oh, I'll bet.

Tell her I'm rooting
for her? I will.

Alex, this is the equipment for
the women's self-defense class.

Where should I put it?

Hm. Why don't
you put it in the back

until I can figure out
what to do with it?

You got it. ALEX: Thank you.

Trent's teaching a
self-defense class?

Yes, some of the
women requested it.

It's a great idea.

Yeah.

Here you go.

Tomorrow, 3:00.

Your job interview.

Tomorrow at 3?

Is there a problem?

Sally's got her practice
for San Antonio.

I'll take her.

I'm free tomorrow afternoon,
I'd be happy to help out.

Are you sure?

Positive. Thanks.

That's it, Sally,
keep it up, keep it up.

You can do it.

Whoo-hoo! All right.

Oh, excellent
work, Sally. Thanks.

I'll tell you, you run
like that in San Antonio

and you're not gonna have
anything to worry about.

I hope so. Aww.

You should be very proud. I am.

Organized religion is built
for people to be afraid of hell.

Spirituality is for people
who have been there.

Mr. Malloy, can I
ask you a question?

Well, sure, if
you call me Trent.

Okay, Mr. Trent.

Do you think I'm pretty?

Yes, Sally.

I think you're very pretty.

Am I pretty as Miss Cahill?

Well, you know, Sally,

you're both pretty women
in your own special way.

Thanks, Trent.

You're welcome, sweetie.

Excuse me, son.

There's a young
lady who's been hurt

in the back of the alley.

She needs some help.

Could you come
with me? Yes, Father.

Thank you.

Sally, you wait right
here, okay? Okay.

Don't move from
this spot, promise me.

I promise.

He'll be right back.

Ah, where is she? She was here.

You're in over your head again.

Help, help!

Over here, come here!

Come on, let's go! Help!

Help.

Oh, my God.

Call 911.

Hurry up, call 911!

I came as soon as I heard.

How's Trent?

Well, he just got
out of surgery.

What happened?

We don't know yet.

Sally was the only witness.

Is she all right?

She's pretty shaken up.

Doc, how is he?

Well, the surgery went about
as well as we could've hoped.

The knife punctured a
lung and nicked his aorta,

but thank God he's
in such great shape,

otherwise he never would've
even made it to the hospital.

He's gonna be all
right though, isn't he?

Well, it's too soon to
say one way or the other.

I'm sorry, I... I wish
I had better news.

Can we see him?

Yes, just for a minute.

What he needs now is
rest, and your prayers.

We gotta get the guy
who did this, Walker.

We will.

I thought you were
supposed to be the best?

I am.

Oh, really?

Malloy's still alive.

But he's not able to testify.

What about the witness?

Witness?

You mean the retarded one?

Hey, buddy.

Ah, I don't know if
you can hear me or not,

so I'm just gonna talk.

Doc says it's, uh, still
kinda touch and go.

Said they've done
just about all they can,

and now it's up to you.

So... You... You fight, buddy.

Don't give up.

You hear me?

Don't you dare give up.

Dr. Barber to the ER unit, stat.

Dr. Barber to the ER unit, stat.

Damn it!

Easy, Carlos.

I just keep thinking, Walker,

that this didn't have to happen,

you know, if Trent
only had a gun.

Well, you and I both know the
reason why he won't use a gun.

Let me see it, Trent.

Yeah, I know, Walker, but still.

If Trent's not going
to carry a gun,

he's gonna have to learn
to use something else.

Besides his hands and feet.

Like what?

I'm not sure yet.

But when he comes out of this,

he and I are gonna
have a long talk.

Huh.

Nice punch.

Tell it to my knuckles.

You'd better cover
up that hole, though.

The crime scene people did a
good job of preserving the site.

Walker, it doesn't make sense.

I mean, other than you,
Trent is one of the best

martial artists I've ever seen.

He's right.

Who could've done this?

Whoever this guy is, he
had a lot of confidence

in his fighting ability.

Why do you say that?

Because of the
bruises on Trent's face.

They went hand-to-hand first.

So Trent must've
been holding his own.

Yeah, until this guy decided
to improve his odds with a knife.

You think maybe Foley hired him

to prevent Trent
from testifying?

Yeah, I do.

And when we catch
him, we're gonna prove it.

That's it, Mr. Foley.

What do you mean, you're out?

I can't be a part of this.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

Look, Mr. Foley, you
don't need me, anyway.

You got rid of the only witness.

At this point, a monkey
could get you off.

I can refer you to
another attorney.

I don't want another attorney.

Please, Mr. Foley.

I've always treated
you well, haven't I?

Yes, sir.

I've trusted you, Miles.

You know things.

Things that would
make you very dangerous

if you turned against me.

You will continue
to represent me,

and you will get me
cleared of these charges.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

Good, good.

I like to know that we can
discuss our differences.

How's your little boy Nicky?

He's fine.

Good, 'cause I worry about him.

The world has gotten to
be such a dangerous place.

Like this?

Is Mr. Trent going
to be all right?

Oh, I'm sure he's
gonna be fine, honey,

but right now we
need you to help us

catch the man
who hurt him, okay?

Okay.

I asked Judge Winters for a
postponement in Foley's trial.

She set the hearing for tomorrow
afternoon in her chambers.

What if she doesn't grant it?

Well, then we're in big trouble.

Trent's my only witness.

If he can't testify,
we have no case.

That's him.

That is the man
who hurt Mr. Trent.

A priest?

A man dressed as a priest.

That's how he lured
Trent into the alley.

How he got the drop on him.

Are you sure that's
the man, Sally?

Yes.

Okay, good.

Well, you did a terrific job.

Thanks.

Ranger Walker,

are you gonna catch that
guy who hurt Mr. Trent?

Yes, honey, I am.

Good.

Carlos, would you stay with
Donna and Sally for a few days?

You got it, Walker.

Stay with us? Are we in danger?

Not likely.

I just don't want to
take any chances.

Thanks.

Okay.

Come on, honey.

See you later, honey.

Thank you.

Gloria, change the
collar to a regular shirt.

Sure thing.

When she's finished I'll
send it to the media outlets.

Okay, good.

Morning.

Good morning.

You make a lot of
noise when you sleep.

Sally, that is not nice.

Now, you say you're sorry.

I'm sorry.

Ha-ha, it's okay.

Go get dressed.

Mmph. Coffee?

Oh, please.

She has this habit of saying
whatever's on her mind.

Yeah.

It's kind of
refreshing, isn't it?

Trivette.

Raindrop Inn?

Thank you.

Bartender located our guy
at a roadhouse in Carrollton.

Let's go check it out.

What's that? A thousand bucks.

What's it for? In
about 15 minutes,

two Texas Rangers are
gonna come through that door.

I want you and your
boys to put a hurt on 'em.

Can you do that?

Oh, we can do that,

but, uh, what's to stop
us from taking your money,

telling you to get lost, before
we put a hurting on you?

Huh.

Good point.

Stand back, or he's gone.

That's for makin' me mad.

You don't wanna make me mad.

No, no, no.

Okay, we'll do it, we'll do it!

Good, good, good.

You all right?

Get away.

Whoever put you

Is that right?

He never lies.

Hurt?

All right, all right, all right!

Who put you up to this?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Aah! All right,
okay, look, look.

Some guy said a couple of Texas
Rangers were on their way down,

gives a thousand bucks
to put a hurting on you.

You owe him a refund, buddy.

That look like him?

Yeah, kinda looks like him.

Did he give a name?

No.

Oh, oh, look, I, look, I swear.

He sat at that table
right over there.

Aah.

Gave us the
money, then he split.

Okay, now you split.

Thank goodness
for lousy service.

Let's go see what we've got.

I assure you, Your Honor,

that this request
is not made lightly,

but given the tragic
circumstances of the injuries

to Mr. Malloy, we feel that
justice would be best served

if the trial be delayed until
Mr. Malloy is able to testify.

Well, when will
that be, Miss Cahill?

Days? Weeks?

Months? Years?

Valid question, Miss Cahill.

When will Mr. Malloy
be fit to testify?

I don't know.

Your Honor, while the defense

does not wish to
minimize the tragedy

of the attack on Mr. Malloy,

I feel compelled
to call attention

to the real issue here.

My client is an innocent man.

All he wants to do is
put the matter behind him

and go on with his life.

Yet every day for
the past six months

he has seen his good name
dragged through the mud

by a media that seems
intent on destroying him.

Save the speeches for trial,
counselor, and make your point.

Yes, Your Honor,
my point is this.

The possibility that this trial
could be delayed for years

is completely unacceptable.

Not only does it do irreparable
damage to Mr. Foley's good name

and his reputation,
it is in direct conflict

with my client's
constitutional rights to a fair

and speedy trial as specified
by the Sixth Amendment.

I'm sorry, Miss Cahill.

While the moral issues
here are certainly in question,

the legal issues are not.

The trial will proceed
as scheduled.

I gotta tell you,

I'm real impressed you raising a
special-needs child on your own.

You've done a great job.

Thanks, but it's
just what you do.

It's what any mother would do.

What happened to Sally's dad?

Oh, well... I'm... I'm sorry.

That's none of my
business. Oh, no.

No, it's okay, it's,
um... Yeah, well,

when Sally was born I
saw her as a gift from God.

Her father didn't
see it the same way.

He hung in there
for a while, but then...

Well, he doesn't know
what he's missing.

I saw your picture in the paper.

That retarded
girl identified you.

Retarded kid, you said.

What kind of a witness
she gonna be, you said.

You through?

Are you gonna
clean up this mess?

Bartender? BARTENDER: Yes, sir?

Let's have another for
the lady. Right away, sir.

Thank you.

No, thank you.

Buying a beautiful woman a drink

is one of life's
singular pleasures.

Have we met before?

No.

I don't think so.

You just look so familiar.

Yeah? Yeah.

That happens a lot.

Here you are, ma'am. Thank you.

I don't know why.

I guess I just have one
of those familiar faces.

Hm.

Santé.

Bon vivant.

How's he doing?

The doctor says he's doing fine.

Thank God.

What's wrong?

I couldn't get the
trial postponed.

Walker, it's
completely hopeless.

All the other witnesses
have recanted their testimony.

If Trent doesn't pull
through in time to testify,

I have no case.

Morris Foley will walk
out of court a free man.

What am I gonna do?

Well, you could quit.

I could quit?

What kind of advice
is that? I could quit?

I'm not gonna quit.

Morris Foley killed those
people and I'm gonna prove it.

Well, maybe you should
get back to work then.

Yeah, maybe I should
get back to work.

Quit, that's the most
ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

I cannot believe he'd
say something like that.

Of all the statements
for him to say that to me...

Yeah, I shot the frog
right through the neck

with a bow and arrow.

I was only 13.

Oh.

And this one time
we were dynamiting...

I-I've got to call
it a night. Ha-ha.

Already? Oh, I've got
work in the morning.

May I walk you to your car?

Oh, you don't have to do that.

I know I don't have to,

but I wanna make
sure you're safe.

Thank you. Okay.

Here you go.

Thank you. BARTENDER:
Thank you, sir.

You ready? Yeah.

And here's your car.

Thank you.

I don't normally do this, and
please don't think me forward,

but if you want, I could
give you my number.

This is a very
sharp knife, Gloria.

Oh, please, take my purse,

take whatever you
want, just don't hurt me.

That's your choice to make.

May I have the keys to your car?

I'm gonna need some
information as well.

Very good.

Okay, Forensics lifted two
good prints off the glass.

They got nothing local,
but when they went federal

they found a heavy
hitter based out of Chicago

named Donovan Riggs.

He's got at least a half
dozen other aliases.

He's wanted for questioning
in connection with 23 murders.

Let me see that.

All of his victims were
killed by a lethal blow

or a single stab
wound to the chest.

Twenty-three of 'em.

Trent was even
luckier than we thought.

Yeah, he was.

What's the matter, boy?

What is it?

What is that, blood?

It's important to
stretch really good.

That way you won't
pull any muscles.

Okay, coach.

Ahem. You know, Carlos,

you really don't
have to do this.

Are you kidding me?

How often do you get a chance
to go for a run with an Olympian?

Walker, Trivette.

Mary. TRIVETTE: Hey.

What have we got?

She's been dead about 12 hours.

Do you know the cause of death?

Well, there are a number
of superficial wounds,

but the cause of death appeared
to be a stab wound to the chest.

Now, I'll know more
after the autopsy,

but from the
amount of blood loss,

I'd say the aorta was
completely severed.

Any ID on the victim?

I thought you knew.

It's Gloria Doran, the
police sketch artist.

Why would somebody kill Gloria?

Sally.

You really like
running, don't you?

Nope, I love running.

Okay, thank you.

Sally's mother said they
went to White Rock Park.

Hey.

All right, now it's safe.

There you go.

Trent's your friend.

Mm-hm.

We've been friends since
we were about your age.

Do you think he's going to die?

No.

No, Sally, I don't
think he's gonna die.

Good.

That makes me very happy.

Me too.

Let's go.

Run!

Ah, come here.

Come here.

I've been waiting for you.

Aah!

I'm takin' you out.

You all right? Yeah.

Come on.

Mr. Walker, I'm so scared.

You're fine now, Sally.

Everything's okay.

Here you are, Miss Williams.

Mr. Denning, are you ready
to present your motion?

Your Honor, at this time defense
would like to request dismissal

of all charges
against my client.

One more outburst such as
that and I will clear this courtroom.

On what grounds, counselor?

On the grounds that
their entire case is based

on eyewitness testimony
and they have no eyewitness.

Miss Cahill?

Your Honor.

Is your witness
prepared to testify?

Miss Cahill, is your
witness prepared to testify?

That's Trent Malloy.

Request denied, counselor.

Miss Cahill, you
may call your witness.

Thank you, Your Honor.

The state calls Trent
Malloy to the stand.

Please raise your right hand.

Do you, Trent Malloy,
solemnly swear to tell the truth,

the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?
