Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 7, Episode 16 - Team Cherokee: Part 2 - full transcript
Last time on Walker,
Texas Ranger:
Remember, it may
be Brian in the car,
but winning takes each
and every one of us.
Four out of six wins.
The papers are
calling us unbeatable.
What was that all about?
With three races left to go,
We're running neck-to-neck
with Forbes for the championship.
Still a lot of folks weren't
too happy about us Cherokee
whooping up on
them out on the track.
At the race the other day...
Any idea who slashed the tires?
The only guy that's still
at war with the Indians,
Freddy Forbes of Team Forbes.
I'm tired of playing
games with these Indians.
I want them out of the race.
You never told me any of this.
You've got enough
to worry about, Rachel.
How could you risk
your life this way?
And how dare you
keep it from me?
I'm a racecar driver.
You don't have the right
to go out there and
get yourself killed.
Hey, you can't have
that mutt in here.
What am I supposed to do,
leave him out at the curb?
It's been five days since
she was reported missing.
Is it possible that she
could have left on her own?
She was taken,
and she's in trouble.
When you find little Tracy,
will you give her this?
You bet.
That's the way I found her.
Wandering the streets.
I took her in to help her.
When she's awake, she
just cries. and not a word.
Not a single word.
None of that stuff is illegal.
Yeah, but taking pornographic
pictures of children is.
But without the pictures,
we don't have a case.
Here's the pictures.
We gotta get more horsepower.
Have you tried
changing the jets?
You know, that might work.
Joe. Joe, come over here.
Mr. Ironhorse here is number
two man on Team Cherokee.
And what can you do for us?
I can make sure Brian
doesn't win the race.

Come on, let's get him out.
Got it.
One, two, three.
Good.
All right, let's
hustle, let's go.
Oh, my God.
Hi, hon.
Oh.
Honey, it's all right. Jeez.
Doctor said I'm gonna be fine.
This time, Brian.
Rachel, I know
this is hard on you.
But racing is my life.
What about me?
What am I?
You're my life too.
Please don't do this to me.
Please don't make
me have to choose.
I can't take this
anymore, Brian.
Why do you, all of a
sudden, want me to give up
the only thing I
ever wanted to do?
It's not just about you
and me anymore, Brian.
It's... Oh, I'm pregnant.
We're gonna have a baby?
Ahh. That's terrific, honey.
Except, Brian,
you could have been
killed out there today.
Do you want our child to
grow up without a father?
That'll never happen, Rachel.
You just don't get it, do you?
I'll go talk to her.
Hey, Brian, how you feeling?
Cord, all right, I guess.
That's good.
Guess what, guys?
I'm gonna be a daddy.
Congratulations.
What are we gonna do, Red Cloud?
I don't know.
If we use every
cent of our winnings,
we can get a new car.
But without a driver...
But you still have a driver.
That leg of yours isn't
gonna heal in time.
We're just gonna have to
wait and try again next year.
I'm not talking about me.
I'm talking about Walker.
Yeah, what do you say, Washoe?
Hey, hey, wait a minute, Brian.
It's been a long time
since I've raced a car.
I know.
But this is our last
chance, Walker.
It took every dime we
could raise on the reservation
to get this thing going.
If we don't win this year,
there won't be a next year.
Am I right?
He's right, Washoe.
Oh, man.
I don't know.
Come on, Walker, you
know what they say,
it's just like riding a bike.
Yeah, right, you never forget.
Ha, don't look at me, buddy.
Ha.
Well, what the heck.
Let's give it a go,
I guess. All right!
Okay. Ahh.
When's the last
time you raced a car?
You don't wanna know.
Rachel, what's wrong?
Nothing.
Everything.
I'm pregnant.
You're gonna have a baby?
That's wonderful.
No, it's not.
I mean, yes, it is. It's just...
Alex, I've always been
supportive of Brian's racing.
But now...
Brian has to make a
choice, racing or us.
Rachel, believe me,
I understand exactly
how you're feeling.
But there's one thing that
you need to remember.
The man you fell in love with,
the man you married,
is an impassioned
racecar driver.
It's such a part
of... Of who he is.
If you push this ultimatum,
he's gonna choose you,
but then, who are
you in love with?
And this is another win
for the Forbes racing team.
Putting them on top
in the overall standings.
Now, for a report
on Brian Falcon.
Mild concussion, minor burns
and a broken leg,
but otherwise okay.
Now, by golly,
that is good news.
Sure is, C.D.
Hey.
And who are you, might I ask?
I'm Thoss, who are you?
I'm C.D. Parker,
and I own this place.
You must be so proud.
Now, why don't you stop asking
questions and start pouring?
I'm dry as kindling.
You know, I thought
I hated that dog.
Speaking of kindling, I could
use some toothpicks in here.
Is that so? Yeah.
Come on, shake
hands, you'll get a sliver.
Bring the dog next time.
Stock Car Racing Federation
checks out with flying colors.
What about Freddy Forbes?
He's racked up a
hell of a résumé.
It goes back to
his dirt track days.
We're talking sanctions,
rules violations,
fired crew members.
Hmm. I'd be willing to bet
it goes deeper than that.
Do you think Forbes
had something to do
with Brian's accident?
Yeah, I do.
Well, if Forbes is
behind the accident,
then we're talking...
attempted murder.
Yeah.
Yeah, we've got the
evidence, and we're on our way.
I'll clear my
schedule. Good work.
Thanks.
These pictures will put
Burnett away for good.
You know, buddy,
we make a pretty good team.
Yeah, we do.
You sure you won't
reconsider this whole Jung thing
and just join the
force? Yeah, I'm sure.
And besides, I kind of
like being my own boss.
Nobody to... Hang on, hang on.
Got a damsel in
distress up here.
Pull over.
You know, Carlos, I really hate
to be politically
correct and all, but, uh,
that's actually kind of sexist.
What do you mean,
sexist? That's not sexist.
Well, it's as if the only
reason you wanna stop
is because she's a pretty lady.
No, it's not the
only reason. It's...
It's the main reason, but
it's not the only reason.
Hello.
Oh, thank you for stopping.
Our pleasure.
What seems to be the problem?
Well, I-I don't know.
I was just driving
down the road,
everything was fine,
and I just lost power.
Hmm.
Can I ask you a question?
Sure.
If I were to refer to you
as a "damsel in distress,"
would you think that
was a sexist comment?
Damsel, huh? Hmm...
- Well, I guess that depends.
- On what?
Are you gonna be
my white knight?
Oh, brother.
Ah, well...
I don't know.
Everything looks fine.
Really? TRENT: Yeah.
Whoa. Hey. Hey!
Oh, man!
Not only did they steal my car,
but the evidence against
Burnett was under the seat.
You know, the
Metroplex has been hit
by a rash of car thefts
in the last few months.
Trivette, run it up on
the computer, will you?
I've heard about these thefts.
You think Trent's car was
stolen by the same guys?
It's a possibility.
These boys are pros.
They target high-end
and classic cars,
most of which are worth
their weight in gold in Asia,
the Middle East
and South America.
I'm looking at four
fatalities directly connected
to the crew in the
past six weeks.
The guys they've got
stealing the cars are good too.
Professional caliber drivers.
Yeah, well, all I know is that
I gotta find my car and
get those negatives.
You've got 48 hours to do it.
Otherwise Burnett walks.
We're not gonna let that happen.
Easy, Burnett, easy.
You gotta get the
bail lowered, Howard.
Then get me outta here. Whoa.
Look, buddy, you're just
gonna have to stay cool,
'Cause there isn't any way
that bail's gonna get lowered.
The DA's got a weak
case and knows it.
That's why they're holding
you over with high bail.
Howard, some of the guys in
here have heard what I do to kids.
Now, get me outta here.
Mel, relax.
The police have got nothing,
not even the
testimony of that girl.
You're gonna walk at the prelim.
I... I guarantee it.
Chin up, mate. Chin up.
We worked up a sketch,
we've been through the books,
and so far we've
come up with zip.
What else can we do? Well...
She touched me.
Yeah, great. Come
on, Carlos, think.
No. She touched me right here.
Oh.
Damn, I'm good.
- You get a print?
- Oh, yeah.
Just call her Titanic, 'cause
this baby's going down.
Lois Dinardo.
She's done bits
for credit card fraud,
bad checks and
theft by deception.
Some damsel.
Let's do it. BOTH:
Thanks, Calvin.
With Team Cherokee
out of the running,
that cup is ours for
the taking. Oh, yeah.
Damn. They got
a new car already?
What?
Yeah, but who's the driver?
That's the Ranger.
That's what it looks like.
Looking good, Washoe. Real good.
WALKER: It feels fine.
I think I'll kick it
up a few notches.

So much for that.
Yeah.
Are you looking for Lois?
Yes, ma'am.
You know where
we might find her?
Are you police officers?
Yes, ma'am.
Oh.
Are you gonna arrest her?
No, we just wanna talk to her.
Oh.
Try Elm Street Bar.
It's down in Deep Ellum.
Thanks.
I think you should arrest her.
For what?
Well, look at the house.
Look at it. Look at it.
I mean, it's gone
down something awful.
If that's not a crime,
I don't know what is.
I hear you.
Well, I'm glad somebody does.
Thank you, ma'am.
Thank you.
This business is
getting out of hand.
That thing with the Vette
the other day, what was that?
Ah, come on, Barnes.
I mean, it's a challenge.
Hell, that's the stuff
that makes this fun.
Yeah, right. Fun.
We got four dead
bodies tied to this.
This looks positively charming.
Look, Barnes, it's real simple.
It you can't stand the heat,
then get out of the kitchen.
That's good advice.
I'm sorry. Do I know you?
Well, sure you do.
I'm your white knight.
I'm the guy whose car you stole.
These guys bothering you, Lois?
Yeah. You know, as a
matter of fact, they are, Jojo.
If you would get rid of 'em,
I'd be very grateful.
Let's get out of here.
Man.
Ha-ha-ha-ha! Hey.
Hands where I can see them.
Come on.
Let's see those hands!
Hello, Joe.
What do you want?
I want Team Cherokee
finished once and for all.
I did my part.
I fixed the brakes, and
Falcon's out of commission.
I didn't expect them
to bring in Walker.
I don't give a damn what
you expect or didn't expect.
We're going to pay you
the money we still owe you,
but you're gonna have
to do one more little thing.
Lee and Simms
will give you a hand.
And if you back down,
you're a dead man.
Understand?
All right, guys, listen up.
Yeah.
They busted Barnes and Lois.
We move everything,
first thing in the morning.
Get cracking. You got it, man.
How's it going?
I've been at it all night.
Lois won't give me a thing.
What about Barnes?
Same with him. Okay.
If they wanna play games,
we'll play a game of our own.
Call it.
Heads.
Tails.
Okay, I get Lois,
you get Barnes.
You got it. All right. Same
deal as last time, right?
Mm-hm. Whoever
talks first gets the deal.
Second place
takes the fall. Yep.
Same bet as last time?
Yep. 100 bucks I
get Lois to talk first.
You got it.
All right, Barnes,
you heard the play.
You think she's got your back?
She's giving you up right now.
She's not saying a thing, man.
She wouldn't do
ten minutes for you.
You'll do ten years for her?
I'll be out of here in an hour.
You are dumber than
you look, aren't you?
You'll let Barnes
do all the talking?
You're gonna keep quiet? Mm-hm.
Look, I told you guys before.
I am not saying anything,
so you give it up, all right?
Guess what?
I win. Lois wants to talk.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. No,
no, no. Wait a minute.
You don't win. He wins.
I just said I wanted
to talk, didn't I?
Well...
D-d-didn't I say that?
Tell him. Tell him.
Um...
Besides, I know way
more than she knows.
She's just a girlfriend.
I'm the thief.
Did he really wanna talk?
Oh, yeah.
Dang.
Go on.
Got the evidence.
What in tarnation
happened to you?
I told you some of
the other prisoners
found out that I was in
here for child pornography.
They nearly killed me.
Next time they will.
There isn't gonna
be a next time, Mel.
We got ten minutes
before your prelim.
Now, let's go over
what you're gonna...
What's this about?
Hey, listen, you
can't come in here.
Attorney-client privilege...
I know, I know. I
feel terrible about it,
but, uh, you're gonna
love this, Devlin.
New evidence.
You and your client
might wanna go over this.
I'm dead. My Lord.
Where'd this come from?
His house.
Hidden in the back
of the television.
See you in court, counselor.
By the way, Devlin,
um, no plea bargain.
Alex Cahill's
prosecuting this one.
You're paying for this
one for a very long time.
Don't worry, Mrs. Wright.
He's gone for good.
I don't know how to
thank you, Mr. Malloy.
Mom?
Oh, Tracy, honey. I'm here.
I-I-I wanna go home.
Tracy, this is one of the
men who rescued you.
This is Trent Malloy.
Hi.
Hi, Tracy.
I have something for you.
A friend of yours asked
me to give you this.
Thank you.
Well, um, I better get going.
Oh.
Thank you, Tall Bear.
Why...? Why didn't you call
and let me know
you were getting out?
I just... I've been home
all day. You look beautiful.
Rachel, being laid
up in the hospital
has given me a
lot of time to think.
And if you want
me to quit racing...
I will.
Well, I don't want you to quit.
You don't? No.
I don't.
What changed your mind?
Come on. Sit down.
Alex and I talked,
and she reminded of some things
that being pregnant
made me forget.
Like what?
Like it's better for
everyone involved
if your best friend
and your lover is
happy at what they do.
You could quit racing,
you could work for my
dad, but you'd hate it.
And that hate would
poison something in us.
And...
even if we survived
as husband and wife,
it'd be a dark way to live.
You know I love you very much.
And I love you.
Well, tomorrow's the big day.
How do you feel?
I'm too tired to be tired.
You got a right to be bushed.
You put in a good month's
worth of work in just a few days.
I hope it's enough.
Washoe, if the great
spirit wants us to win,
we'll win.
And if he doesn't, then
there's a reason for that.
I guess you're right.
I know I am.
See you in the morning.
Get the engine hoist.
Here, let me show you
how to destroy an engine.
Joseph Ironhorse.
I can't believe it.
We've got four
hours before the race.
Red Cloud, you've
performed a miracle
by getting me to drive this car.
What do you say we
perform another one
by getting it ready?
What do you say, Team Cherokee?
You think we can do it?
Well, you heard

Welcome to Texas Motor Speedway,
ladies and gentlemen,
and our Dallas 500.
The final race in
this cup series...
Just get out in
front and stay there.
And what an exciting
season it's been, folks,
with Team Forbes and
rookie Team Cherokee
trading the overall point
lead all the way down the wire.
But each of them
needs the win today
to take home the
cup championship.
Take your time. Be patient.
Work your way through the field.
Remember, it's a long race.
You got it.
Please be careful.
Aren't I always?
I'll see you after the race.

Coltrane in the
number 17 Forbes car
is still running up front,

about the Cherokee car,
which is moving rapidly
up the leaderboard.

Washoe, Coltrane
comes in, you come in too.
We'll change two tires and
give you a splash of gas.
With just ten laps to go,
Team Cherokee has
moved into second place.
It's up to the pit crew
to keep him there.
How you doing, Walker?
Go! Go!
What was shaping
up as a three-man race
is now down to two:
Coltrane and Walker.
You really have to take
your hat off to Cordell Walker.
He's run one heck of a race.
Yeah, Trivette.
All right.
It's heating up, Red Cloud.
How bad is it, Washoe?
It's in the red.
It looks like it will be a
two-man, two-lap race
for all the marbles.
Come on, Cordell.
You gotta pick it up.
You gotta pick it up.
Come on, let's go. Pick it up.
He's right on me, man.
Watch him.
He's going to the outside.
Oh, come on.
Coming out of turn four,
suddenly a great race.
Let's go, buddy. Come on.
Show us what you
got. You can't miss.
There's smoke, Washoe.
Smoke came from
the Cherokee car.
I don't know if he
lost a cylinder or not,
but he's fallen back
in behind the 17 car.
It's the last lap, and
Coltrane is doing all he can
to keep Walker from getting by.
Walker is making his move.
Push it. Push it. Push it, Wade!
Walker tries to
get on the inside,
but he may have used up
his car on the last attempt.
Here comes Walker on the inside.
Coltrane holding him off.
They're right together!
Here they come!
Oh, they're right together!
It's gonna be too close to call!
They're right dead even!
Here he comes. Here he comes.
Flag's down.
And it's Cordell Walker.
He did it in a photo finish.
Oh, gee.

Texas Ranger:
Remember, it may
be Brian in the car,
but winning takes each
and every one of us.
Four out of six wins.
The papers are
calling us unbeatable.
What was that all about?
With three races left to go,
We're running neck-to-neck
with Forbes for the championship.
Still a lot of folks weren't
too happy about us Cherokee
whooping up on
them out on the track.
At the race the other day...
Any idea who slashed the tires?
The only guy that's still
at war with the Indians,
Freddy Forbes of Team Forbes.
I'm tired of playing
games with these Indians.
I want them out of the race.
You never told me any of this.
You've got enough
to worry about, Rachel.
How could you risk
your life this way?
And how dare you
keep it from me?
I'm a racecar driver.
You don't have the right
to go out there and
get yourself killed.
Hey, you can't have
that mutt in here.
What am I supposed to do,
leave him out at the curb?
It's been five days since
she was reported missing.
Is it possible that she
could have left on her own?
She was taken,
and she's in trouble.
When you find little Tracy,
will you give her this?
You bet.
That's the way I found her.
Wandering the streets.
I took her in to help her.
When she's awake, she
just cries. and not a word.
Not a single word.
None of that stuff is illegal.
Yeah, but taking pornographic
pictures of children is.
But without the pictures,
we don't have a case.
Here's the pictures.
We gotta get more horsepower.
Have you tried
changing the jets?
You know, that might work.
Joe. Joe, come over here.
Mr. Ironhorse here is number
two man on Team Cherokee.
And what can you do for us?
I can make sure Brian
doesn't win the race.

Come on, let's get him out.
Got it.
One, two, three.
Good.
All right, let's
hustle, let's go.
Oh, my God.
Hi, hon.
Oh.
Honey, it's all right. Jeez.
Doctor said I'm gonna be fine.
This time, Brian.
Rachel, I know
this is hard on you.
But racing is my life.
What about me?
What am I?
You're my life too.
Please don't do this to me.
Please don't make
me have to choose.
I can't take this
anymore, Brian.
Why do you, all of a
sudden, want me to give up
the only thing I
ever wanted to do?
It's not just about you
and me anymore, Brian.
It's... Oh, I'm pregnant.
We're gonna have a baby?
Ahh. That's terrific, honey.
Except, Brian,
you could have been
killed out there today.
Do you want our child to
grow up without a father?
That'll never happen, Rachel.
You just don't get it, do you?
I'll go talk to her.
Hey, Brian, how you feeling?
Cord, all right, I guess.
That's good.
Guess what, guys?
I'm gonna be a daddy.
Congratulations.
What are we gonna do, Red Cloud?
I don't know.
If we use every
cent of our winnings,
we can get a new car.
But without a driver...
But you still have a driver.
That leg of yours isn't
gonna heal in time.
We're just gonna have to
wait and try again next year.
I'm not talking about me.
I'm talking about Walker.
Yeah, what do you say, Washoe?
Hey, hey, wait a minute, Brian.
It's been a long time
since I've raced a car.
I know.
But this is our last
chance, Walker.
It took every dime we
could raise on the reservation
to get this thing going.
If we don't win this year,
there won't be a next year.
Am I right?
He's right, Washoe.
Oh, man.
I don't know.
Come on, Walker, you
know what they say,
it's just like riding a bike.
Yeah, right, you never forget.
Ha, don't look at me, buddy.
Ha.
Well, what the heck.
Let's give it a go,
I guess. All right!
Okay. Ahh.
When's the last
time you raced a car?
You don't wanna know.
Rachel, what's wrong?
Nothing.
Everything.
I'm pregnant.
You're gonna have a baby?
That's wonderful.
No, it's not.
I mean, yes, it is. It's just...
Alex, I've always been
supportive of Brian's racing.
But now...
Brian has to make a
choice, racing or us.
Rachel, believe me,
I understand exactly
how you're feeling.
But there's one thing that
you need to remember.
The man you fell in love with,
the man you married,
is an impassioned
racecar driver.
It's such a part
of... Of who he is.
If you push this ultimatum,
he's gonna choose you,
but then, who are
you in love with?
And this is another win
for the Forbes racing team.
Putting them on top
in the overall standings.
Now, for a report
on Brian Falcon.
Mild concussion, minor burns
and a broken leg,
but otherwise okay.
Now, by golly,
that is good news.
Sure is, C.D.
Hey.
And who are you, might I ask?
I'm Thoss, who are you?
I'm C.D. Parker,
and I own this place.
You must be so proud.
Now, why don't you stop asking
questions and start pouring?
I'm dry as kindling.
You know, I thought
I hated that dog.
Speaking of kindling, I could
use some toothpicks in here.
Is that so? Yeah.
Come on, shake
hands, you'll get a sliver.
Bring the dog next time.
Stock Car Racing Federation
checks out with flying colors.
What about Freddy Forbes?
He's racked up a
hell of a résumé.
It goes back to
his dirt track days.
We're talking sanctions,
rules violations,
fired crew members.
Hmm. I'd be willing to bet
it goes deeper than that.
Do you think Forbes
had something to do
with Brian's accident?
Yeah, I do.
Well, if Forbes is
behind the accident,
then we're talking...
attempted murder.
Yeah.
Yeah, we've got the
evidence, and we're on our way.
I'll clear my
schedule. Good work.
Thanks.
These pictures will put
Burnett away for good.
You know, buddy,
we make a pretty good team.
Yeah, we do.
You sure you won't
reconsider this whole Jung thing
and just join the
force? Yeah, I'm sure.
And besides, I kind of
like being my own boss.
Nobody to... Hang on, hang on.
Got a damsel in
distress up here.
Pull over.
You know, Carlos, I really hate
to be politically
correct and all, but, uh,
that's actually kind of sexist.
What do you mean,
sexist? That's not sexist.
Well, it's as if the only
reason you wanna stop
is because she's a pretty lady.
No, it's not the
only reason. It's...
It's the main reason, but
it's not the only reason.
Hello.
Oh, thank you for stopping.
Our pleasure.
What seems to be the problem?
Well, I-I don't know.
I was just driving
down the road,
everything was fine,
and I just lost power.
Hmm.
Can I ask you a question?
Sure.
If I were to refer to you
as a "damsel in distress,"
would you think that
was a sexist comment?
Damsel, huh? Hmm...
- Well, I guess that depends.
- On what?
Are you gonna be
my white knight?
Oh, brother.
Ah, well...
I don't know.
Everything looks fine.
Really? TRENT: Yeah.
Whoa. Hey. Hey!
Oh, man!
Not only did they steal my car,
but the evidence against
Burnett was under the seat.
You know, the
Metroplex has been hit
by a rash of car thefts
in the last few months.
Trivette, run it up on
the computer, will you?
I've heard about these thefts.
You think Trent's car was
stolen by the same guys?
It's a possibility.
These boys are pros.
They target high-end
and classic cars,
most of which are worth
their weight in gold in Asia,
the Middle East
and South America.
I'm looking at four
fatalities directly connected
to the crew in the
past six weeks.
The guys they've got
stealing the cars are good too.
Professional caliber drivers.
Yeah, well, all I know is that
I gotta find my car and
get those negatives.
You've got 48 hours to do it.
Otherwise Burnett walks.
We're not gonna let that happen.
Easy, Burnett, easy.
You gotta get the
bail lowered, Howard.
Then get me outta here. Whoa.
Look, buddy, you're just
gonna have to stay cool,
'Cause there isn't any way
that bail's gonna get lowered.
The DA's got a weak
case and knows it.
That's why they're holding
you over with high bail.
Howard, some of the guys in
here have heard what I do to kids.
Now, get me outta here.
Mel, relax.
The police have got nothing,
not even the
testimony of that girl.
You're gonna walk at the prelim.
I... I guarantee it.
Chin up, mate. Chin up.
We worked up a sketch,
we've been through the books,
and so far we've
come up with zip.
What else can we do? Well...
She touched me.
Yeah, great. Come
on, Carlos, think.
No. She touched me right here.
Oh.
Damn, I'm good.
- You get a print?
- Oh, yeah.
Just call her Titanic, 'cause
this baby's going down.
Lois Dinardo.
She's done bits
for credit card fraud,
bad checks and
theft by deception.
Some damsel.
Let's do it. BOTH:
Thanks, Calvin.
With Team Cherokee
out of the running,
that cup is ours for
the taking. Oh, yeah.
Damn. They got
a new car already?
What?
Yeah, but who's the driver?
That's the Ranger.
That's what it looks like.
Looking good, Washoe. Real good.
WALKER: It feels fine.
I think I'll kick it
up a few notches.

Yeah.
Are you looking for Lois?
Yes, ma'am.
You know where
we might find her?
Are you police officers?
Yes, ma'am.
Oh.
Are you gonna arrest her?
No, we just wanna talk to her.
Oh.
Try Elm Street Bar.
It's down in Deep Ellum.
Thanks.
I think you should arrest her.
For what?
Well, look at the house.
Look at it. Look at it.
I mean, it's gone
down something awful.
If that's not a crime,
I don't know what is.
I hear you.
Well, I'm glad somebody does.
Thank you, ma'am.
Thank you.
This business is
getting out of hand.
That thing with the Vette
the other day, what was that?
Ah, come on, Barnes.
I mean, it's a challenge.
Hell, that's the stuff
that makes this fun.
Yeah, right. Fun.
We got four dead
bodies tied to this.
This looks positively charming.
Look, Barnes, it's real simple.
It you can't stand the heat,
then get out of the kitchen.
That's good advice.
I'm sorry. Do I know you?
Well, sure you do.
I'm your white knight.
I'm the guy whose car you stole.
These guys bothering you, Lois?
Yeah. You know, as a
matter of fact, they are, Jojo.
If you would get rid of 'em,
I'd be very grateful.
Let's get out of here.
Man.
Ha-ha-ha-ha! Hey.
Hands where I can see them.
Come on.
Let's see those hands!
Hello, Joe.
What do you want?
I want Team Cherokee
finished once and for all.
I did my part.
I fixed the brakes, and
Falcon's out of commission.
I didn't expect them
to bring in Walker.
I don't give a damn what
you expect or didn't expect.
We're going to pay you
the money we still owe you,
but you're gonna have
to do one more little thing.
Lee and Simms
will give you a hand.
And if you back down,
you're a dead man.
Understand?
All right, guys, listen up.
Yeah.
They busted Barnes and Lois.
We move everything,
first thing in the morning.
Get cracking. You got it, man.
How's it going?
I've been at it all night.
Lois won't give me a thing.
What about Barnes?
Same with him. Okay.
If they wanna play games,
we'll play a game of our own.
Call it.
Heads.
Tails.
Okay, I get Lois,
you get Barnes.
You got it. All right. Same
deal as last time, right?
Mm-hm. Whoever
talks first gets the deal.
Second place
takes the fall. Yep.
Same bet as last time?
Yep. 100 bucks I
get Lois to talk first.
You got it.
All right, Barnes,
you heard the play.
You think she's got your back?
She's giving you up right now.
She's not saying a thing, man.
She wouldn't do
ten minutes for you.
You'll do ten years for her?
I'll be out of here in an hour.
You are dumber than
you look, aren't you?
You'll let Barnes
do all the talking?
You're gonna keep quiet? Mm-hm.
Look, I told you guys before.
I am not saying anything,
so you give it up, all right?
Guess what?
I win. Lois wants to talk.
Hey, hey, hey, hey. No,
no, no. Wait a minute.
You don't win. He wins.
I just said I wanted
to talk, didn't I?
Well...
D-d-didn't I say that?
Tell him. Tell him.
Um...
Besides, I know way
more than she knows.
She's just a girlfriend.
I'm the thief.
Did he really wanna talk?
Oh, yeah.
Dang.
Go on.
Got the evidence.
What in tarnation
happened to you?
I told you some of
the other prisoners
found out that I was in
here for child pornography.
They nearly killed me.
Next time they will.
There isn't gonna
be a next time, Mel.
We got ten minutes
before your prelim.
Now, let's go over
what you're gonna...
What's this about?
Hey, listen, you
can't come in here.
Attorney-client privilege...
I know, I know. I
feel terrible about it,
but, uh, you're gonna
love this, Devlin.
New evidence.
You and your client
might wanna go over this.
I'm dead. My Lord.
Where'd this come from?
His house.
Hidden in the back
of the television.
See you in court, counselor.
By the way, Devlin,
um, no plea bargain.
Alex Cahill's
prosecuting this one.
You're paying for this
one for a very long time.
Don't worry, Mrs. Wright.
He's gone for good.
I don't know how to
thank you, Mr. Malloy.
Mom?
Oh, Tracy, honey. I'm here.
I-I-I wanna go home.
Tracy, this is one of the
men who rescued you.
This is Trent Malloy.
Hi.
Hi, Tracy.
I have something for you.
A friend of yours asked
me to give you this.
Thank you.
Well, um, I better get going.
Oh.
Thank you, Tall Bear.
Why...? Why didn't you call
and let me know
you were getting out?
I just... I've been home
all day. You look beautiful.
Rachel, being laid
up in the hospital
has given me a
lot of time to think.
And if you want
me to quit racing...
I will.
Well, I don't want you to quit.
You don't? No.
I don't.
What changed your mind?
Come on. Sit down.
Alex and I talked,
and she reminded of some things
that being pregnant
made me forget.
Like what?
Like it's better for
everyone involved
if your best friend
and your lover is
happy at what they do.
You could quit racing,
you could work for my
dad, but you'd hate it.
And that hate would
poison something in us.
And...
even if we survived
as husband and wife,
it'd be a dark way to live.
You know I love you very much.
And I love you.
Well, tomorrow's the big day.
How do you feel?
I'm too tired to be tired.
You got a right to be bushed.
You put in a good month's
worth of work in just a few days.
I hope it's enough.
Washoe, if the great
spirit wants us to win,
we'll win.
And if he doesn't, then
there's a reason for that.
I guess you're right.
I know I am.
See you in the morning.
Get the engine hoist.
Here, let me show you
how to destroy an engine.
Joseph Ironhorse.
I can't believe it.
We've got four
hours before the race.
Red Cloud, you've
performed a miracle
by getting me to drive this car.
What do you say we
perform another one
by getting it ready?
What do you say, Team Cherokee?

and our Dallas 500.
The final race in
this cup series...
Just get out in
front and stay there.
And what an exciting
season it's been, folks,
with Team Forbes and
rookie Team Cherokee
trading the overall point
lead all the way down the wire.
But each of them
needs the win today
to take home the
cup championship.
Take your time. Be patient.
Work your way through the field.

The leaders barely

Washoe, Coltrane
comes in, you come in too.
We'll change two tires and
give you a splash of gas.
With just ten laps to go,
Team Cherokee has
moved into second place.
It's up to the pit crew
to keep him there.
How you doing, Walker?
Go! Go!
What was shaping
up as a three-man race
is now down to two:
Coltrane and Walker.
You really have to take
your hat off to Cordell Walker.
He's run one heck of a race.
Yeah, Trivette.
All right.
It's heating up, Red Cloud.
How bad is it, Washoe?
It's in the red.
It looks like it will be a
two-man, two-lap race
for all the marbles.
Come on, Cordell.
You gotta pick it up.
You gotta pick it up.
Come on, let's go. Pick it up.
He's right on me, man.
Watch him.
He's going to the outside.
Oh, come on.
Coming out of turn four,
suddenly a great race.
Let's go, buddy. Come on.
Show us what you
got. You can't miss.
There's smoke, Washoe.
Smoke came from
the Cherokee car.
I don't know if he
lost a cylinder or not,
but he's fallen back
in behind the 17 car.
It's the last lap, and
Coltrane is doing all he can
to keep Walker from getting by.
Walker is making his move.
Push it. Push it. Push it, Wade!
Walker tries to
get on the inside,
but he may have used up
his car on the last attempt.
Here comes Walker on the inside.
Coltrane holding him off.
They're right together!
Here they come!
Oh, they're right together!
It's gonna be too close to call!
They're right dead even!
Here he comes. Here he comes.
Flag's down.
And it's Cordell Walker.
He did it in a photo finish.
