Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 7, Episode 19 - Brothers in Arms - full transcript
What do you want?
I need to ask you
some questions.
Well, you hear that, boys?
They want to ask
us a few questions.
Well, you got some
sand laying that crap on us
with your gun
still in your holster.
We're gonna lay
more than crap on you
if you don't cooperate with him.
What did you say?
What are you, deaf
as well as ugly?
Why, you...
Stay down!
See what happens
when you don't cooperate?
What have you got, Connors?
Listen, you were right.
Victor Darden is
trying to control
all the drug trafficking
in and out of Dallas.
Anything else?
Yeah.
There's gonna be a big
drugs-for-gun exchange
at the North Texas Airfield.
Some Colombian heavyweight
and one of Darden's hatchet men,
a big black guy by
the name of Panther.
And from what I understand,
he lives up to his name.
When?
It's going down
in about an hour.
Okay. You ready?
Yeah, lay it on me.
Let's get up.
Book 'em for
assault on an officer.
This one too.
Connors have
anything worthwhile?
Yeah, he's a good cop.
I'll tell you on the way.
On my way where?
North Texas Airfield.
Wait a sec. How badly are
we gonna be outnumbered?
Do you really wanna know?
Me? No, no. More the merrier.
I think I'll call for a little
bit of backup, though.
Hey, Panther! Good to
see you again, amigo.
Tu también, chico.
And on time for once.
Good rifles make
it worth my time.
Here, my brother.
Is the smack in
those bags any good,
or do I have to test it?
Madre de dios, amigo.
You strike me in the nerve.
Heh. Would I be that stupid?
Panther, come in.
What is it, Maxwell?
You got company.
Cops.
Policía?
Get back on the plane, chico.
Take everything with you.
We'll settle up later.
Put everything back inside.
Let's go. Let's go.
Let's get the guns
aboard. Let's move!
Oh. Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa. Easy, Ranger.
Come on, get up!
You're pretty good.
Against the van.
Hands behind your back.
Okay, okay, okay.
Great. Two fights in one day.
What, do you want a record?
Something bugging you... Junior?
Trivette. What's that all about?
Ah.
Well. I see nothing's
changed, Junior.
The only way you
ever could beat me
was with my hands
tied behind my back.
Get him outta here.
I got him.
You know this guy?
His name's Simon Trivette.
He's my brother.

Jet cleared U.S. airspace before
the Air Force could respond.
They took all the
evidence with 'em.
We'll book 'em on
a weapons charge.
Wanna talk about it?
You know, I wouldn't
know where to begin.
I tried to tell you, Mr. Darden,
this was a bad
idea from the start.
I mean, Simon's good
and smart and everything,
but it was just plain stupid to
try this thing during daylight.
Time of day had nothing
to do with it, Maxwell.
Someone informed the cops.
And you didn't
answer my question.
Did Simon get
everything back in the jet
before they took him down?
Yeah. I mean, he's good
under pressure, I'll give him that.
Good.
What's so good about it?
Your Panther just gave
Valdes 10 crates of m-16s.
Valdes is good for it,
and Simon knows my first
rule: never get caught holding.
Yeah, well... all I know
is if it wasn't for me,
the whole thing would
have gone south.
Yeah, what do you want,
a pat on the back
for doing your job?
What are we looking at, Sid?
Concealed weapons,
resisting arrest,
Should be no problem, Vic.
Bail could be pricey, though.
Hey. Pay whatever it takes.
I got too much riding on this
to have Simon wasting
his time in the cooler.
You, you wanna
make yourself useful?
You go find that snitch
who tipped off the cops.
We gotta start making
some graphic examples.
Now I know why you never
mentioned your brother.
Maybe it's time
you did talk about it.
When my dad died,
my mom became the
strength of the family.
Simon was named
after my dad's father,
I was named after my dad.
That's why he called you Junior.
Yeah, that's what everybody
called me back then.
When I went away to college,
Simon was the
pride of our family.
My mom's hope. He was my hero.
He got accepted
into the FBI Academy,
mainly because of Mama.
Rose Trivette.
She never stopped
trying to keep us
on the straight and narrow.
Grew up in a tough
neighborhood, man.
I thought I was really
tough back then.
Mom and my brother showed
me what tough was about.
Junior.
Just one thing you never wanted
to do was make Mama mad.
Oh, no, you do not.
You come here, boy.
Boy, was she mad.
'Cause three of those
guys are already dead,
and four of 'em are in prison.
When Simon graduated
from the FBI Academy,
my mom was so proud of him.
She said, "My oldest
boy is gonna be
on the side of law and justice."
What went wrong?
His first year at the Bureau
he was their number one agent.
He brought in the worst
there were, Walker.
Ahh!
Ahh!
He almost lost his leg.
You see that limp?
They managed to save it,
but he's gonna have
it for the rest of his life.
They put him behind a
desk, and he got angry.
He was bitter.
Anyway, not long after that,
they caught him passing
information to Victor Darden,
Mr. Crime Boss himself.
And he went to prison.
Gave him five years.
He did 18 months.
And when he got out, he
went to work for Darden.
And your mom?
She died.
Not too long after that.
They told me that she
died because of a stroke.
But that's not true,
'cause I was there.
She died because
Simon broke her heart.
My big brother.
When I buried Mama was the day
that I cut Simon
out of my life forever.
At least that's what I thought.
Maybe you should
pull out of this one.
No.
Gotta do it.
Okay.
Well, your brother's waiting
in the interrogation room.
Let's go talk to him.
Yeah.
They have nothing on you.
You have nothing to
worry about, my friend.
The arresting
officers, no doubt.
I'm Sidney Wallace. I
represent Mr. Trivette.
I'm Ranger Walker,
this is Ranger Trivette.
Ranger Trivette?
That's some coincidence.
No coincidence, Sid.
He's my kid brother.
Interesting.
You know how it is.
You can pick your friends,
but you can't pick your family.
Speaking of your friends,
what about Victor
Darden and Chico Valdes?
Uh, Mr. Darden is a
business acquaintance of mine,
but, um, Chico Valdes?
Hm, sorry, I can't
help you there.
Sure you can.
You and Valdes were
about to trade guns and drugs
at North Texas Airfield
when we showed up.
Really?
I've instructed my client
not to discuss the
events at the airport.
He contends he was startled
by the sudden arrival
of a gray pickup truck,
felt threatened
and tried to avoid
what he considered a
life-threatening situation.
And he didn't notice the
flashing lights on my truck,
or the two DPS units behind me?
They evidently veered off
after a jet which was taking off.
A jet carrying guns and drugs.
My client has no
knowledge of the jet,
its occupants, or their cargo,
and I challenge you
to prove otherwise.
Walker. Okay.
Bail's been posted.
A million dollars.
Darden must be some
great acquaintance.
You could say that, Junior.
Let's go, Simon.
Hold it, Simon.
I know that Darden
is trying to control
all the drug trafficking
in and out of Dallas.
Tell him for us it's
not gonna happen.
Best not be next to
him when it goes down.
I'll try to remember
that, Junior.
There's gonna be a
showdown between him and me.
I can feel it.
Ah.
So how was it?
Jail is jail.
Thanks for getting
me out so soon. Okay.
Sid tell you about my brother?
Yes. Texas Ranger. Ugh.
Talk about irony.
I could have done without it.
Hey.
When did you get out?
It took all day. I
thought part of the deal
was you guys were
gonna pick up the bail.
That's if it happens
on our time.
Blow it again and
you're out. Come on.
Is it gonna be a problem?
Is what gonna be a problem?
Does your brother being
a Ranger change things?
Hey, if it does,
I can always send you back
to do the Philly operation.
Ah, Junior hates my guts,
but the feeling's mutual.
Hell, Vic, I could always
beat him at everything else.
It'll be twice as sweet when I
beat him in his own backyard.
You are one of a kind,
Simon. Here's to you.
Thanks. Here's to five years.
The culmination of
five years of hard work.
It's been a long time coming,
but now every major drug
cartel on the planet is on board,
and most of the big
wholesalers in the States.
It's a one-stop
shopping supermarket
right here in the big D.
Here's to Victor Darden,
bringing drug trafficking
into the 21st century.
And the 22nd century...
if I can live that long.
Eh, when are we, um...
When are we gonna
get 'em all together?
You know, to hammer
out the details?
How's next Sunday sound?
Sounds terrific.
Half the major
growers, suppliers,
and dealers will be right here.
Mm.
Yeah?
It's me.
Come in.
You find the snitch?
No. But I found out
something very interesting.
And what's that?
Well, Simon's brother
here is a Texas Ranger.
I know.
Oh. And you're okay with this?
See, I kind of saw
it as a problem.
Yeah? The only
problem I'm having
is the snitch you can't find.
It's probably one
of your locals.
Rangers' info is too precise
to be some, uh,
secondhand street jive.
Victor, let me flush him out.
I don't think he's one of mine.
But if he is, I'll handle it.
No, Maxwell. You hired him.
We'll let the
Panther do the firing.
Thinking about Trivette?
Yeah. He's taking this so hard.
Are you sure we
shouldn't call him?
No. I think he needs
to be alone right now.
Yeah. I mean, the
fact that they grew up
and they were so close,
and he idolized him.
Well, this stuff's been with
us since the dawn of time.
Remember Cain and Abel?
That's the first
recorded murder.
C.D., I hope they
don't go down that road.
Well, I do too, honey,
but they're at the on-ramp.
Maybe. but I just have a
feeling there's something else.
Like what?
I don't know,
C.D. Just a feeling.
Hey, Mom. Saw Simon today.
I guess you know that already.
You are guilty as charged.
Son! Oh!
I used to think the
worst day of my life
was when they were leading Simon
out of that courtroom,
and you were crying.
Let's go.
Simon. Oh, my...
It was worse than when you died.
No. No. No...
Nope. Today.
Seeing Simon again.
You see his eyes?
Huh?
Not a spark of the decency
that used to burn there.
Everything you worked
so hard to give us.
Values, love, charitable
heart. All gone.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Really sorry.
More champagne.
- Ladies and gentlemen.
- Yes.
To the new world order.
To the 21st century.
About three jokes.
It's cool. It's cool.
You again?
I want to talk to you.
I don't talk to cops,
Junior. Their IQ is too low.
No badge. Just you and me.
We have nothing to talk about.
What, are you afraid
of your little brother?
You want me to
take care of this?
No.
Okay, Junior. Have it your way.
You're gonna let him do this?
Actually I find
it quite amusing.
Go ahead.
Get lost. Now!
What's on your mind, Junior?
First of all, I didn't come
for you, I came for Mama.
She's dead. I thought you knew.
"Panther," huh?
Should call you hyena.
They travel in packs.
Champagne's getting
hot, ladies are getting cold.
You got a point
to make, make it.
Get out of town, Simon. Tonight.
That's it?
Yeah, that's it.
You've been warned.
Huh? I been warned?
Is that what you said?
That's what I said.
What if I don't want to?
When Darden goes
down, I'm taking you out.
All the way out.
Oh, you're not
up for that, Junior.
You never were, never will be.
Too much of Mama's holy
water running in your veins.
Okay.
He's got the point.
This is your last break, Junior.
Get in my face again,
and Mama's gonna have company.
I'll check it out, Connors.
Maybe you should pull out.
Things are starting to heat up.
Not yet.
I need to find out
when and where
this meeting's gonna be.
Okay. Watch yourself.
Yeah, will do.
What happened?
Would you believe
I ran into a wall?
No.
Didn't think so.
You had a run-in
with your brother, huh?
I really hate your
jerky intuition.
Connors called.
Darden is setting
up a secret meeting
of all the movers and
shakers in the drug trade.
When?
He doesn't know.
Maybe we oughta turn up the
heat on Darden's organization.
Why not?
Damn it!
Looks like your brother
didn't learn his lesson.
Burma pulled out...
Seattle is renegotiating
with its Peruvian connection,
and others are canceling.
Now, I told them Dallas
was under control.
So, what's going on here? Hm?
Simon's brother is taking
this kind of personal.
So, what you thought
was no problem
has turned into a vendetta.
Maxwell's right, Simon.
What do you have in mind?
I think you know.
You want me to
take my brother out.
We got a lot riding on this.
Let me do it, Vic.
Maxwell, you
couldn't find your butt
if the directions were
printed on both hands.
You know how my brother
and I feel about each other.
I'll take care of it. Is
tomorrow soon enough?
Yes.
Maxwell will back you up.
All right.
Hey, get down!
This is the scene
where earlier today
tragedy struck in the
form of a sniper's bullet,
and decorated Texas
Ranger James Trivette
was cut down on
the courthouse steps.
He was pronounced
dead upon arrival
at Travis Hospital.
Oh, you should've been
there, Mr. D. It was beautiful.
Blood everywhere.
Shut up, Maxwell.
I didn't think it'd be this bad.
Cut yourself some slack, Simon.
Come on, he's your brother.
Yeah.
It's all right, Vic.
Personal feelings
can't interfere
with what you're
trying to do here.
Yeah, I know.
But still...
It's too bad it had
to go down like this.
Thanks.
I appreciate that, but it's...
It's over. Let's move on.
Sure.
Just wanted to let you know.
Uh! Ah!
Hey, hey!
Drop it!
Now.
Ranger Walker.
I am so sorry about the
tragic death of your partner.
Sure you are.
I know you're the one
that arranged the hit.
And I know you're the
one that pulled the trigger.
I assume you have proof?
If I had proof, you'd
be dead right now.
But I wanna take you down...
and I'm gonna
take you down hard.
You want me, Walker?
Hey, you got me.
Just name the time and place.
If you got the guts.
He challenged me, Victor.
And I have to take him out.
Do it.
Walker.
Simon. What do you want?
So do you wanna settle
this, just you and me?
I told you: name
the time and place.
The warehouse on 32nd street.
You just busted
a meth outfit there.
When? One hour.
I'll be there.
Don't worry, Vic.
By the time they find his body,
we'll have your
network up and running.
You want backup?
No. I have to do this myself.
It's your call.
Good luck, my friend.
Back him up anyway.
Yeah.
Looking for me?
Are you alone?
Yeah.
Let's go. Come on.
I think you two know each other.
Definitely.
Nice shot.
It had to look real.
Just like in the movies.
That's what Walker told
me when he set this up,
but I'm not sure I believe it.
Too much doesn't make sense.
You been undercover
all this time?
A deep mole?
Deep as they go.
Inserted five years ago
under Darden's organization.
To bring it down.
This operation... my idea!
I didn't join the
FBI to ride a desk.
Five years I've been undercover.
And until this day, only two
people knew what I was up to.
Why would you break cover?
When I realized there was no way
I could get out of killing you.
When is it going down, Simon?
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
Yeah.
It was shaky for awhile.
You guys turned up the heat,
I thought Darden
would pull in his horns.
This operation means
much too much for him.
What are we looking at?
All of Darden's
stateside dealers,
south of the border
cartel leaders,
Golden Triangle warlords.
They're all meeting to finalize
an international narcotics
marketing system
that will make GM look like
some mom-and-pop store.
And I'm gonna be right there
to help bring the
whole stinking thing
down around their heads.
Ugh.
I'm, um...
I'm sorry about the
beating in the alley, Junior.
Don't call me that.
It's Jimmy.
I buried Junior
when I buried Mama.
Okay, Jimmy.
If everything you
just said was true,
how could you let Mama
die believing this lie?
Remember when I said
there was only two people
who knew I was undercover?
Yeah.
One is the Baltimore
bureau chief...
and the other was Mom!
She never told me that.
Because I asked her not to!
I'm sorry, man!
I'm sorry, Jimmy.
I wanted to tell you, man.
But I couldn't.
I wanted to tell you, man.
I wanted to tell you.
But I couldn't. There...
There was too much at stake.
The risks were too high.
I couldn't take a chance.
Hm? Ugh!
You know him?
Yeah. Maxwell.
I'll put him on ice.
What do we tell Darden?
I'll think of something.
I'll see you later.
Be careful.
How'd it go?
Walker's dead.
So is Maxwell.
Maxwell?
What the hell was
he doing there?
I thought you might want
someone to watch your back.
Well, you almost got me killed.
Got you killed?
I got the drop on Walker,
then Maxwell gets
the drop on me.
What are you talking about?
Maxwell was the snitch!
Maxwell.
You sent him to watch my back,
and he tries to
put a bullet in it.
I was lucky to get
out of there alive.
Simon...
I'm sorry.
Okay?
Let's get a drink.
Well, hey.
Let's look on the bright side.
You got rid of
Walker and the snitch.
Nobody can stop us now.
To tomorrow.
To tomorrow.
Okay, Vic, it's showtime.
Yeah. This is a big day.
Hey, Decker from Jersey.
Hey, there's our
old pal Chico Valdes.
Hey, Chico! Cómo está, amigo?
Gonna make history today, huh?
That's for sure, kid.
Hey, guys.
Garcia? I thought he was iffy.
Not anymore.
Hey, Quidone made
it in from New York.
Is this the who's who
of players or what?
Feds would love to know
about this little get-together.
That's for sure, Vic.
Yeah.
Hey, Leon Ortiz.
Oh. Costa Rica's
favorite godfather.
Only godfather. Yeah.
He took out Amore.
Looks like they're all here.
Just like Simon wanted.
All the rotten
eggs in one place.
Let's move in.
Everybody remember,
Simon Trivette's one of ours.
It's good to see you.
Come on. We got
a special day today.
All right.
Cops! Cops! MAN: What?
Yahh!
Simon!
Simon!
Darden!
The Trivette brothers.
You gave up a good thing, Simon.
You okay?
Yeah. How about yourself?
Never better.
Oh. I wish Mama was here today.
She is. You can bet on it.
Yeah, you're right.
She's proud of Simon.
She's proud of both of us.
To Simon Trivette,
the new head of FBI
Covert Operations.
Hear, hear.
They couldn't have
picked a finer man.
It's good to see my brother
couldn't have picked a
better choice of friends.
You all seem like... Family?
Yeah. Family.
That's what we are, son.
Now you're one of 'em.
Thank you. Well,
I gotta, uh... Got it.
Chauffeur's ready.
I'll see you guys.
Pleasure. Bye-bye.
Speaking of family...
when are we gonna start one?
Um... I-I-I'd better go
polish the silverware.
We're not even married yet.
Well, we could remedy
that pretty darn quick.
Well, actually...
C.D. and I were
thinking about the spring.
Excuse me. It's May 1st.
Or was it the fall, C.D.?
Listen, don't get
me involved in this.
This is your boat.
You got to bail it.
How you gonna bail
yourself out of this one?
You got a bucket, C.D.?

I need to ask you
some questions.
Well, you hear that, boys?
They want to ask
us a few questions.
Well, you got some
sand laying that crap on us
with your gun
still in your holster.
We're gonna lay
more than crap on you
if you don't cooperate with him.
What did you say?
What are you, deaf
as well as ugly?
Why, you...
Stay down!
See what happens
when you don't cooperate?
What have you got, Connors?
Listen, you were right.
Victor Darden is
trying to control
all the drug trafficking
in and out of Dallas.
Anything else?
Yeah.
There's gonna be a big
drugs-for-gun exchange
at the North Texas Airfield.
Some Colombian heavyweight
and one of Darden's hatchet men,
a big black guy by
the name of Panther.
And from what I understand,
he lives up to his name.
When?
It's going down
in about an hour.
Okay. You ready?
Yeah, lay it on me.
Let's get up.
Book 'em for
assault on an officer.
This one too.
Connors have
anything worthwhile?
Yeah, he's a good cop.
I'll tell you on the way.
On my way where?
North Texas Airfield.
Wait a sec. How badly are
we gonna be outnumbered?
Do you really wanna know?
Me? No, no. More the merrier.
I think I'll call for a little
bit of backup, though.
Hey, Panther! Good to
see you again, amigo.
Tu también, chico.
And on time for once.
Good rifles make
it worth my time.
Here, my brother.
Is the smack in
those bags any good,
or do I have to test it?
Madre de dios, amigo.
You strike me in the nerve.
Heh. Would I be that stupid?
Panther, come in.
What is it, Maxwell?
You got company.
Cops.
Policía?
Get back on the plane, chico.
Take everything with you.
We'll settle up later.
Put everything back inside.
Let's go. Let's go.
Let's get the guns
aboard. Let's move!
Oh. Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa. Easy, Ranger.
Come on, get up!
You're pretty good.
Against the van.
Hands behind your back.
Okay, okay, okay.
Great. Two fights in one day.
What, do you want a record?
Something bugging you... Junior?
Trivette. What's that all about?
Ah.
Well. I see nothing's
changed, Junior.
The only way you
ever could beat me
was with my hands
tied behind my back.
Get him outta here.
I got him.
You know this guy?
His name's Simon Trivette.
He's my brother.

my mom became the
strength of the family.
Simon was named
after my dad's father,
I was named after my dad.
That's why he called you Junior.
Yeah, that's what everybody
called me back then.
When I went away to college,
Simon was the
pride of our family.
My mom's hope. He was my hero.
He got accepted
into the FBI Academy,
mainly because of Mama.
Rose Trivette.
She never stopped
trying to keep us
on the straight and narrow.
Grew up in a tough
neighborhood, man.
I thought I was really
tough back then.
Mom and my brother showed
me what tough was about.
Junior.
Just one thing you never wanted
to do was make Mama mad.
Oh, no, you do not.
You come here, boy.
Boy, was she mad.
'Cause three of those
guys are already dead,
and four of 'em are in prison.
When Simon graduated
from the FBI Academy,
my mom was so proud of him.
She said, "My oldest
boy is gonna be
on the side of law and justice."
What went wrong?
His first year at the Bureau
he was their number one agent.
He brought in the worst
there were, Walker.
Ahh!
Ahh!
He almost lost his leg.
You see that limp?
They managed to save it,
but he's gonna have
it for the rest of his life.
They put him behind a
desk, and he got angry.
He was bitter.
Anyway, not long after that,
they caught him passing
information to Victor Darden,
Mr. Crime Boss himself.
And he went to prison.
Gave him five years.
He did 18 months.
And when he got out, he
went to work for Darden.
And your mom?
She died.
Not too long after that.
They told me that she
died because of a stroke.
But that's not true,
'cause I was there.
She died because
Simon broke her heart.
My big brother.
When I buried Mama was the day
that I cut Simon
out of my life forever.
At least that's what I thought.
Maybe you should
pull out of this one.
No.
Gotta do it.
Okay.
Well, your brother's waiting
in the interrogation room.
Let's go talk to him.
Yeah.
They have nothing on you.
You have nothing to
worry about, my friend.
The arresting
officers, no doubt.
I'm Sidney Wallace. I
represent Mr. Trivette.
I'm Ranger Walker,
this is Ranger Trivette.
Ranger Trivette?
That's some coincidence.
No coincidence, Sid.
He's my kid brother.
Interesting.
You know how it is.
You can pick your friends,
but you can't pick your family.
Speaking of your friends,
what about Victor
Darden and Chico Valdes?
Uh, Mr. Darden is a
business acquaintance of mine,
but, um, Chico Valdes?
Hm, sorry, I can't
help you there.
Sure you can.
You and Valdes were
about to trade guns and drugs
at North Texas Airfield
when we showed up.
Really?
I've instructed my client
not to discuss the
events at the airport.
He contends he was startled
by the sudden arrival
of a gray pickup truck,
felt threatened
and tried to avoid
what he considered a
life-threatening situation.
And he didn't notice the
flashing lights on my truck,
or the two DPS units behind me?
They evidently veered off
after a jet which was taking off.
A jet carrying guns and drugs.
My client has no
knowledge of the jet,
its occupants, or their cargo,
and I challenge you
to prove otherwise.
Walker. Okay.
Bail's been posted.
A million dollars.
Darden must be some
great acquaintance.
You could say that, Junior.
Let's go, Simon.
Hold it, Simon.
I know that Darden
is trying to control
all the drug trafficking
in and out of Dallas.
Tell him for us it's
not gonna happen.
Best not be next to
him when it goes down.
I'll try to remember
that, Junior.
There's gonna be a
showdown between him and me.
I can feel it.
Ah.
So how was it?
Jail is jail.
Thanks for getting
me out so soon. Okay.
Sid tell you about my brother?
Yes. Texas Ranger. Ugh.
Talk about irony.
I could have done without it.
Hey.
When did you get out?
It took all day. I
thought part of the deal
was you guys were
gonna pick up the bail.
That's if it happens
on our time.
Blow it again and
you're out. Come on.
Is it gonna be a problem?
Is what gonna be a problem?
Does your brother being
a Ranger change things?
Hey, if it does,
I can always send you back
to do the Philly operation.
Ah, Junior hates my guts,
but the feeling's mutual.
Hell, Vic, I could always
beat him at everything else.
It'll be twice as sweet when I
beat him in his own backyard.
You are one of a kind,
Simon. Here's to you.
Thanks. Here's to five years.
The culmination of
five years of hard work.
It's been a long time coming,
but now every major drug
cartel on the planet is on board,
and most of the big
wholesalers in the States.
It's a one-stop
shopping supermarket
right here in the big D.
Here's to Victor Darden,
bringing drug trafficking
into the 21st century.
And the 22nd century...
if I can live that long.
Eh, when are we, um...
When are we gonna
get 'em all together?
You know, to hammer
out the details?
How's next Sunday sound?
Sounds terrific.
Half the major
growers, suppliers,
and dealers will be right here.
Mm.
Yeah?
It's me.
Come in.
You find the snitch?
No. But I found out
something very interesting.
And what's that?
Well, Simon's brother
here is a Texas Ranger.
I know.
Oh. And you're okay with this?
See, I kind of saw
it as a problem.
Yeah? The only
problem I'm having
is the snitch you can't find.
It's probably one
of your locals.
Rangers' info is too precise
to be some, uh,
secondhand street jive.
Victor, let me flush him out.
I don't think he's one of mine.
But if he is, I'll handle it.
No, Maxwell. You hired him.
We'll let the
Panther do the firing.
Thinking about Trivette?
Yeah. He's taking this so hard.
Are you sure we
shouldn't call him?
No. I think he needs
to be alone right now.
Yeah. I mean, the
fact that they grew up
and they were so close,
and he idolized him.
Well, this stuff's been with
us since the dawn of time.
Remember Cain and Abel?
That's the first
recorded murder.
C.D., I hope they
don't go down that road.
Well, I do too, honey,
but they're at the on-ramp.
Maybe. but I just have a
feeling there's something else.
Like what?
I don't know,
C.D. Just a feeling.
Hey, Mom. Saw Simon today.
I guess you know that already.
You are guilty as charged.
Son! Oh!
I used to think the
worst day of my life
was when they were leading Simon
out of that courtroom,
and you were crying.
Let's go.
Simon. Oh, my...
It was worse than when you died.
No. No. No...
Nope. Today.
Seeing Simon again.
You see his eyes?
Huh?
Not a spark of the decency
that used to burn there.
Everything you worked
so hard to give us.
Values, love, charitable
heart. All gone.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Really sorry.
More champagne.
- Ladies and gentlemen.
- Yes.
To the new world order.
To the 21st century.
About three jokes.
It's cool. It's cool.
You again?
I want to talk to you.
I don't talk to cops,
Junior. Their IQ is too low.
No badge. Just you and me.
We have nothing to talk about.
What, are you afraid
of your little brother?
You want me to
take care of this?
No.
Okay, Junior. Have it your way.
You're gonna let him do this?
Actually I find
it quite amusing.
Go ahead.
Get lost. Now!
What's on your mind, Junior?
First of all, I didn't come
for you, I came for Mama.
She's dead. I thought you knew.
"Panther," huh?
Should call you hyena.
They travel in packs.
Champagne's getting
hot, ladies are getting cold.
You got a point
to make, make it.
Get out of town, Simon. Tonight.
That's it?
Yeah, that's it.
You've been warned.
Huh? I been warned?
Is that what you said?
That's what I said.
What if I don't want to?
When Darden goes
down, I'm taking you out.
All the way out.
Oh, you're not
up for that, Junior.
You never were, never will be.
Too much of Mama's holy
water running in your veins.
Okay.
He's got the point.
This is your last break, Junior.
Get in my face again,
and Mama's gonna have company.
I'll check it out, Connors.
Maybe you should pull out.
Things are starting to heat up.
Not yet.
I need to find out
when and where
this meeting's gonna be.
Okay. Watch yourself.
Yeah, will do.
What happened?
Would you believe
I ran into a wall?
No.
Didn't think so.
You had a run-in
with your brother, huh?
I really hate your
jerky intuition.
Connors called.
Darden is setting
up a secret meeting
of all the movers and
shakers in the drug trade.
When?
He doesn't know.
Maybe we oughta turn up the
heat on Darden's organization.
Why not?
Damn it!
Looks like your brother
didn't learn his lesson.
Burma pulled out...
Seattle is renegotiating
with its Peruvian connection,
and others are canceling.
Now, I told them Dallas
was under control.
So, what's going on here? Hm?
Simon's brother is taking
this kind of personal.
So, what you thought
was no problem
has turned into a vendetta.
Maxwell's right, Simon.
What do you have in mind?
I think you know.
You want me to
take my brother out.
We got a lot riding on this.
Let me do it, Vic.
Maxwell, you
couldn't find your butt
if the directions were
printed on both hands.
You know how my brother
and I feel about each other.
I'll take care of it. Is
tomorrow soon enough?
Yes.
Maxwell will back you up.
All right.
Hey, get down!
This is the scene
where earlier today
tragedy struck in the
form of a sniper's bullet,
and decorated Texas
Ranger James Trivette
was cut down on
the courthouse steps.
He was pronounced
dead upon arrival
at Travis Hospital.
Oh, you should've been
there, Mr. D. It was beautiful.
Blood everywhere.
Shut up, Maxwell.
I didn't think it'd be this bad.
Cut yourself some slack, Simon.
Come on, he's your brother.
Yeah.
It's all right, Vic.
Personal feelings
can't interfere
with what you're
trying to do here.
Yeah, I know.
But still...
It's too bad it had
to go down like this.
Thanks.
I appreciate that, but it's...
It's over. Let's move on.
Sure.
Just wanted to let you know.
Uh! Ah!
Hey, hey!
Drop it!
Now.
Ranger Walker.
I am so sorry about the
tragic death of your partner.
Sure you are.
I know you're the one
that arranged the hit.
And I know you're the
one that pulled the trigger.
I assume you have proof?
If I had proof, you'd
be dead right now.
But I wanna take you down...
and I'm gonna
take you down hard.
You want me, Walker?
Hey, you got me.
Just name the time and place.
If you got the guts.
He challenged me, Victor.
And I have to take him out.
Do it.
Walker.
Simon. What do you want?
So do you wanna settle
this, just you and me?
I told you: name
the time and place.
The warehouse on 32nd street.
You just busted
a meth outfit there.
When? One hour.
I'll be there.
Don't worry, Vic.
By the time they find his body,
we'll have your
network up and running.
You want backup?
No. I have to do this myself.
It's your call.
Good luck, my friend.
Back him up anyway.
Yeah.
Looking for me?
Are you alone?
Yeah.
Let's go. Come on.
I think you two know each other.
Definitely.
Nice shot.
It had to look real.
Just like in the movies.
That's what Walker told
me when he set this up,
but I'm not sure I believe it.
Too much doesn't make sense.
You been undercover
all this time?
A deep mole?
Deep as they go.
Inserted five years ago
under Darden's organization.
To bring it down.
This operation... my idea!
I didn't join the
FBI to ride a desk.
Five years I've been undercover.
And until this day, only two
people knew what I was up to.
Why would you break cover?
When I realized there was no way
I could get out of killing you.
When is it going down, Simon?
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
Yeah.
It was shaky for awhile.
You guys turned up the heat,
I thought Darden
would pull in his horns.
This operation means
much too much for him.
What are we looking at?
All of Darden's
stateside dealers,
south of the border
cartel leaders,
Golden Triangle warlords.
They're all meeting to finalize
an international narcotics
marketing system
that will make GM look like
some mom-and-pop store.
And I'm gonna be right there
to help bring the
whole stinking thing
down around their heads.
Ugh.
I'm, um...
I'm sorry about the
beating in the alley, Junior.
Don't call me that.
It's Jimmy.
I buried Junior
when I buried Mama.
Okay, Jimmy.
If everything you
just said was true,
how could you let Mama
die believing this lie?
Remember when I said
there was only two people
who knew I was undercover?
Yeah.
One is the Baltimore
bureau chief...
and the other was Mom!
She never told me that.
Because I asked her not to!
I'm sorry, man!
I'm sorry, Jimmy.
I wanted to tell you, man.
But I couldn't.
I wanted to tell you, man.
I wanted to tell you.
But I couldn't. There...
There was too much at stake.
The risks were too high.
I couldn't take a chance.
Hm? Ugh!
You know him?
Yeah. Maxwell.
I'll put him on ice.
What do we tell Darden?
I'll think of something.
I'll see you later.
Be careful.
How'd it go?
Walker's dead.
So is Maxwell.
Maxwell?
What the hell was
he doing there?
I thought you might want
someone to watch your back.
Well, you almost got me killed.
Got you killed?
I got the drop on Walker,
then Maxwell gets
the drop on me.
What are you talking about?
Maxwell was the snitch!
Maxwell.
You sent him to watch my back,
and he tries to
put a bullet in it.
I was lucky to get
out of there alive.
Simon...
I'm sorry.
Okay?
Let's get a drink.
Well, hey.
Let's look on the bright side.
You got rid of
Walker and the snitch.
Nobody can stop us now.
To tomorrow.
To tomorrow.
Okay, Vic, it's showtime.
Yeah. This is a big day.
Hey, Decker from Jersey.
Hey, there's our
old pal Chico Valdes.
Hey, Chico! Cómo está, amigo?
Gonna make history today, huh?
That's for sure, kid.
Hey, guys.
Garcia? I thought he was iffy.
Not anymore.
Hey, Quidone made
it in from New York.
Is this the who's who
of players or what?
Feds would love to know
about this little get-together.
That's for sure, Vic.
Yeah.
Hey, Leon Ortiz.
Oh. Costa Rica's
favorite godfather.
Only godfather. Yeah.
He took out Amore.
Looks like they're all here.
Just like Simon wanted.
All the rotten
eggs in one place.
Let's move in.
Everybody remember,
Simon Trivette's one of ours.
It's good to see you.
Come on. We got
a special day today.
All right.
Cops! Cops! MAN: What?
Yahh!
Simon!
Simon!
Darden!
The Trivette brothers.
You gave up a good thing, Simon.
You okay?
Yeah. How about yourself?
Never better.
Oh. I wish Mama was here today.
She is. You can bet on it.
Yeah, you're right.
She's proud of Simon.
She's proud of both of us.
To Simon Trivette,
the new head of FBI
Covert Operations.
Hear, hear.
They couldn't have
picked a finer man.
It's good to see my brother
couldn't have picked a
better choice of friends.
You all seem like... Family?
Yeah. Family.
That's what we are, son.
Now you're one of 'em.
Thank you. Well,
I gotta, uh... Got it.
Chauffeur's ready.
I'll see you guys.
Pleasure. Bye-bye.
Speaking of family...
when are we gonna start one?
Um... I-I-I'd better go
polish the silverware.
We're not even married yet.
Well, we could remedy
that pretty darn quick.
Well, actually...
C.D. and I were
thinking about the spring.
Excuse me. It's May 1st.
Or was it the fall, C.D.?
Listen, don't get
me involved in this.
This is your boat.
You got to bail it.
How you gonna bail
yourself out of this one?
You got a bucket, C.D.?
