How many do we have so far?
About 200, I'd say. Okay.
Where is your fiancé?
He's on his way.
Maisie, if you were
any lighter on your feet,
they'd have to tie you down.
Ha-ha! You're no slouch
yourself, Mr. Parker.
C.D. And Maisie.
The dynamic duo.
Absolutely.
Jimmy, you know Maisie's
son Brian, don't you?
Absolutely. Hey.
Hey, Ranger Trivette.
Brian has turned into
our guardian angel
for the HOPE Center.
Yep. Now you're stuck with me.
I never knew helping
people could be so much fun.
I just show up here
and, uh, forget all the
problems of the world.
I know what you mean.
Ladies and gentlemen,
time for the line dance.
Oh! Line dance!
No, no. You go ahead
and dance. I'll line watch.
Get. Go, go, go. Get.
Sir, come on. MC: Here we go!

Hey, Brian, how about
your mom's dancing?
Hi, son. Hi, Mom.
Y'all look like Fred
and Ginger out there.
Oh, they could never line
dance as well as we do,
but I'll take it as
a compliment.
Where's Caroline?
I thought she was
going to meet you here.
Uh, no. She's not
feeling too well.
Oh. Are you okay?
Well, you seem a little down.
Oh, I'm fine, I'm fine.
No, but I do have to go, though.
Oh.
Listen, you have her
home at a reasonable hour.
Okay. Take care.
I love you, Mom.
Bye, sweetheart.
Madam?
May I have this dance, please?
♪ I lost my heart to you ♪
It's about time you showed up.
Let's dance.
♪ The way young lovers do ♪
Alert! All guards
to the west tower!
Escape in progress. All
guards to the west tower.
You know, isn't it pitiful
how we have to drag our
men onto the dance floor?
Yes. You're always telling
me you have two left feet.
That's funny, because
Jimmy has two right feet.
Well, maybe Walker and
I should dance together.
I think that's a good idea.
Yeah. Yeah.
I lead. Okay.
Peter, don't be so nervous.
You know Brian's
never gonna catch us.
Please, you are
such a worrywart.
Yes.
Howdy.
Oh.
Uh, Brian.
Peter was in the
neighborhood and...
Yeah. I just wanted to see
if you were up for a nightcap.
Yeah, yeah, and
since I wasn't here,
you just figured what the hell,
you might as well
sleep with my wife.
Just save it, okay?
I've known about you
two for a long time.
In fact, I was gonna
call a divorce lawyer.
Oh, Brian, you know...
No, no. I said I was
gonna call a divorce lawyer.
Of course, that was
before I found out you two
were stealing from
my family's trust fund.
So now I think I'll just
call the police instead.
Now, now, don't
run away now, Peter.
I want you to
have that nightcap.
It's gonna be your
last for a while.
No!
Oh.
I think I broke my nail.

I assure you, Brice
Sutherland's escape
was an aberration, and
he will be recaptured.
I spoke with the governor
a few minutes ago,
and he assured me
that he is very concerned
about both how and why
the prisoner managed to escape.
Now, those questions
will be answered,
but right now we have a very
dangerous man on the loose.
Our first priority
is the capture of
Brice Sutherland.
For that reason,
the governor's calling
in the Texas Rangers.
Hey. Where are you
two headed? Hey.
Huntsville.
Yeah, the governor called us.
We're gonna head up the
manhunt for Brice Sutherland.
Good. The sooner that
one's back inside, the better.
Mr. Garcia and I were just
going over his testimony
in the Hillman case.
I'm sorry you have to go
through that again, Mr. Garcia.
No problem, Ranger. I'd
do anything to make sure
the man who shot
those people pays for it.
I'll call you. Okay.
We'll see you.
And the state will once again
prove beyond a shadow of a doubt
that the accused,
Mr. Frank Hillman,
robbed more than
half a million dollars
from the First Bank
of South Dallas...
Money which has
never been recovered
and in the process shot
the six potential
witnesses against him.
Five of those people died,
and by the grace of
God and his fighting spirit,
one man survived.
That brave man is prepared
to testify once again,
and his testimony
will put Mr. Hillman
back where he
rightfully belongs,
which is on death row.
Thank you, Miss Cahill.
The retrial will begin two
weeks from today at 9 a.m.
Until that time,
the defendant will be remanded
to the state penitentiary.
Please remove the prisoner.
How the hell did it happen, son?
It looks like Brian went
fishing this morning early.
He must have been
standing up in the boat,
and then hit a stump.
There's a lot of them out there
just underneath the surface.
The medical examiner
said that he fell, hit his head,
and he must have wound
up in the water and drowned.
Just a freak accident.
I'll be damned.
Well, let's go see the girls.
C.D. Maisie.
Maisie, I'm so sorry,
sweetheart. I'm sorry.
He was a wonderful
man, Caroline.
Thank you for coming over, C.D.
I'm afraid we're all
in a state of shock.
Well, if there's anything
I can do, let me know.
Come on, let's get you
inside. You're chilled.
Take care of her.
I just wish I could
get over this feeling.
Something was bothering
him these last few weeks.
Oh, I'm sure it was
nothing, Maisie.
He had wonderful friends,
a loving wife. He had you.
Well, he's at peace
now, God rest his soul.
Out of the car now!
Let's go! Move! Move!
All right. Just take it easy.
Shut up!
Look, take the car, all right?
Take it. Whatever you want.
No. No, don't!
We have been
extremely fortunate.
The ME Finding water in
Brian's lungs was pure luck.
Luck for me, anyway.
What do you mean by that?
Well, it means
he was still alive
when we put him in the lake,
which makes you
just as guilty as I am.
Ha-ha. As if I would
ever cross you.
My instinct for
self-preservation's
a lot stronger than that.
Besides, half the
trust fund is yours,
and I'm looking forward
to helping you... spend it.
Well, that's the
problem with you, baby.
You always think small.
You see, when I get
finished with Maisie,
we're gonna have everything.
Are you crazy?
We can't kill her too.
No. I'm not gonna kill her.
What is that stuff?
MDMA. Also known as ecstasy.
That's a powerful psychedelic.
She will know that
she has been drugged.
Not the way I'm gonna
give it to her in small doses.
When I get finished
with dear old Maisie,
everyone will think
she's crazy, including her.
This chamomile tea does
wonders, Maisie dear.
It's very soothing.
Thank you, dear.
You are so good to me.
Well, now that Brian's gone...
we're gonna have to
take care of each other.
This is good.
I know.
Just drink up.
That's all I can tell you.
Okay, thanks.
He's in a gray
SUV, probably new,
headed east on 785.
Get three choppers in
the air, two east, one west,
in case he doubles back.
Yes, sir.
Everything all right?
Oh.
Have you seen my
purse and my car keys?
I was going to go to the store,
but I can't find my
purse or my keys.
Are you sure you're all right?
That's the second
thing you've misplaced
in the past few minutes.
The second thing?
Oh, well, yes.
You couldn't find
your reading glasses.
Don't you remember?
Oh, look. Here they are.
Oh, thank you.
Are you sure you
feel up to going out?
Oh, I feel better if
I keep busy. Bye.
Bye.
The only town of any
size on 785 is Herndon.
He'll probably take the
first side road he comes to,
looking for a place
to lay low, right?
Hm.
What?
Herndon. What's the name
of that motorcycle gang
Sutherland belongs to?
The Demons.
Don't they have an
outfit in Herndon?
Yes, they do.
I told you! Members only!
We got company.
Texas Rangers.
We wanna ask you some questions.
Can't you read the sign?
It says "members only."
You mean this sign?
Don't even think about it,
unless you wanna go to
jail just like these guys are.
It was right there.
It was right there.
I know it was.
Is everything all right, ma'am?
My car's been stolen.
It was right here.
I can't believe it.
I was in the store no
more than 20 minutes.
Ma'am, are you sure you
remember where you parked?
It's an awfully big
lot. You'd be surprised
how many people forget.
I'm sure. I always
park in this row.
What kind of car is it?
I'll take a look around
the lot just to make sure.
Let me see. It's a '97 Eldorado.
License number?
Uh... A-G-L...
Uh... 3-7... No, 3-5-7...
Uh, no.
Uh, I'm sorry. I'm
just so flustered.
It's okay. Take your time.
Oh, Caroline.
Maisie, I've been
so worried about you.
You've been gone for hours.
Hours?
I'm Mrs. Whitman's
daughter-in-law.
Hi.
Caroline, my car's been stolen.
Well, dear, I saw your car.
It's around the other
side of the store.
I am so sorry.
Please forgive me.
Don't worry about it, ma'am.
It happens all the time.
Maybe you should run her home,
come back for her car later.
Well, that's a good idea.
Thank you for your help.
Come on, sweetheart.
I'll take you home.
Sutherland was here, man.
These were in the trash.
So when did he leave,
and where was he going?
Pal, I don't think you
fully grasp the situation.
We got resisting arrest,
assaulting a police officer,
possession with
intent to sell...
And accessory to murder.
That's right. That's right,
because Sutherland's killed
three people since he escaped.
You got a piece of that
because you're protecting him.
Three counts of
murder so far. Sit down!
Okay, he was here. He
left a half an hour ago.
Took one of the bikes.
Where was he headed?
Where was he headed?
He didn't say. He...
But he's looking for a gun.
He wants something
untraceable. For what?
A job. He said he
had some kind of job.
What kind of a job?
He didn't say.
What's Sutherland up to?
And why is he so hot to
get an untraceable gun?
And what is this job?
Let's call Huntsville
and find out who was
Sutherland's cellmate.
Mama!
Mama!
Hey, Mom!
Brian!
Brian.
Hey, Mom!
Brian!
Br... Brian!
Mama.
Maisie! What happened?
I saw him.
I saw Brian. I saw him!
What?
I saw him.
Maisie! Snap out of it.
Now... Now, you just
snap out of it. Come on.
You're gonna be okay.
Come on. Come on.
Brian, what?
What is it?
Maisie?
Maisie, Brian's dead.
I know my boy is dead,
but he's trying to
tell me something.
What is it?
Maisie, dear.
You've gotta relax.
You've had a terrible shock,
and it's gotten
you all mixed up.
With everything that's happened
and with you being
so upset and all,
Peter and I were thinking
that it would be better
if you left the running
of things to us.
It's for your protection,
so no one will take
advantage of you.
Do you...? Do you understand?
Whatever you think is best.
Yes. I think that would be best.
Oh, it would be best
for you and for everyone.
But the thing is,
in order to do that,
we have to have
a little something.
It's called a
competency hearing.
It's just a formality.
Fine, fine.
All right, I'll get right
on the paperwork.
Howdy.
I don't think I've
seen you before.
Yeah, I'm George, Mrs.
Whitman's new driver.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's... It's good
to see you, George.
No, you don't
understand. I think...
I think maybe I am crazy.
I keep seeing things.
I saw Brian right down there.
I know I couldn't
have, but I did.
Maisie, I know you.
You're solid as the
Rock of Gibraltar, honey.
Brian's death has just
thrown you for a loop.
There are people that
can intervene here.
Please let me take
you to get some help.
Mrs. Whitman? It's time
for you to come in and rest.
Who are these people?
Who's hiring these clowns?
Carol... Caroline's
taking care of me now.
Don't worry. Don't
fret. I'm all right.
Could you see yourself out, sir?
Yes, I'll just see myself out...
you big oaf.
Chopper 3 to Rangers
Walker and Trivette. Over.
This is Trivette. Go ahead.
We have visual
contact on the suspect.
He's headed north
on Farm Road 953.
Repeat, we have visual
contact on the suspect. Over.
Roger, Chopper 3. We're on it.
Where's 953?
Right there!
I should give you
more notice next time.
I'd appreciate it.
Got 'em.
Well, I hope it wasn't
too much trouble.
No. You know I'd do
anything for Maisie.
What's this all about?
Well, I don't know.
Maybe nothing...
or... maybe something.
Yeah.
What is it?
Look at the clothing.
Well, it's the same thing
he had on at the dance.
Western shirt and jeans.
That's right. And a
man could go fishin'
with a shirt and
jeans like that,
but cowboy boots?
Unlikely. And where's his cap?
His cap? What's that
supposed to mean?
Maisie showed me some pictures
of Brian the other day, fishing.
In every picture,
he had on his cap.
His lucky fisherman cap.
Fishermen would
rather fish buck-naked
than not have their
lucky cap, honey.
Well, C.D., maybe it fell
off when he hit his head,
or maybe it fell
off in the water.
Maybe.
C.D., you know I
trust your instincts,
but you can't open
an investigation
based on a lucky cap.
No, I know that. I
don't have any answers,
but I have a lot of questions.
And I think I'm gonna take
myself a little fishing trip.
Thank you, sweetheart. Sure.
That's him.
This is Rangers
Trivette and Walker
in pursuit of
suspect, Route 953.
This is Ranger Trivette.
We got a civilian car off
the road. Rendering aid.
Suspect still
headed north on 953.
Howdy.
Howdy.
Mind if I share
the lake with you?
Oh, no, you're welcome to do it.
There's more than
enough fish out here.
You know the Whitmans? I
mean, are you friends of theirs?
Yeah. Maisie and I,
we're... We're good friends.
Oh, it was a sad
thing about that boy.
Yes, it was. I'll say it was.
You knew Brian, did you?
Oh, yeah. I knew Brian
since he was a little kid.
Really?
We did a lot of fishing
together, me and Brian.
Huh. Yeah. He was a fine boy.
Oh, he was that.
I'll say that for him, yes, sir.
What did y'all catch mostly?
Blue-gilled fish and...
And... And crappie.
But now, Brian, he never
tried to get nothing else but bass
as long as I ever knew him.
And I'll bet you
he wore that hat
every time he put
a hook in water.
Never put a line in without it,
wearin' that hat.
I'll bet he didn't.
There's something
that I don't understand.
I can't figure out
what Brian was doing
fishing in front
of his own house
when they dredged that
area not too long before that,
and there weren't no fish in it!
Dispatch to Rangers
Walker and Trivette.
Brice Sutherland was
spotted leaving the residence
of Arnie Freeman,
620 Cottonwood,
ex-con on parole with
two gun-dealing priors.
Thanks, Dispatch.
Now, for maximum stopping power,
you need this baby right here.
Fully automatic,
20 rounds a second.
Texas Rangers. Put the gun down.
I'm a collector.
I'm a collector!
You guys never heard of
the Second Amendment?
Have you heard of three
strikes and you're out, Arnie?
Oh, whoa! Nothing
says I can't have guns
for my own personal protection.
Protection from what, an army?
Don't waste our time.
Where's Brice Sutherland?
I don't know.
Arnie, you got two
priors. This makes three.
You're looking at
serious time, Arnie.
Real serious
time. Think about it.
Okay. He was here.
Bought a 9 mm.
How long ago?
Fifteen, 20 minutes.
Where was he
headed? I don't know.
I swear!
You better not be lying to us.
I'm not lying. I
swear, I'm not lying!
Where to now?
I don't know.
He's around here somewhere.
Yeah. Trivette.
Yeah. Thanks.
Hey, Sutherland's
cellmate was Frank Hillman.
That's the guy that Alex
is prosecuting in the retrial.
And the only witness
against him lives here.
Jorge Garcia.
Hillman must be
offering Sutherland
a cut of his unrecovered money.
To take out Jorge Garcia. Yeah.
I'll get his address.
Okay.
Hi, C.D.
Alex, how are you?
What'd you find out, honey?
Maisie's competency hearing
is scheduled for tomorrow.
Boy, they didn't waste
any time, did they?
No. If they find
her incompetent,
Caroline will be
appointed her conservator.
She'll be in charge
of Maisie's trust fund
along with that
sidewinder, Peter.
Yeah. Didn't you
find out anything
on your fishing trip?
Plenty. Why did they rig it
to look like he
was trolling for trout
when he was strictly
a bass fisherman?
Why was he fishing
where there was no fish
and without his fishing hat?
That's a lot of questions
with no answers.
Yeah. I know that,
honey, but this stinks.
This stinks to high heaven.
You think he was murdered?
I'd bet on it.
Way down deep in these
old experienced bones,
it says yes.
What about the
water in his lungs?
Oh, that just goes to show you
he was alive when
he hit the water, honey.
Maybe they got their hands
caught in the cookie jar,
and Brian found out.
You know, I have a friend
down at the bank examiner's
office who owes me a favor.
Why don't I find out what's
going on with that trust?
Now you're talkin'.
Who's there?
Die, old man!
- You're the last witness.
- No, no!
No! No!
Sutherland!
Throw the gun away.
Now get up.
I'd like to see Mrs. Whitman.
I'm afraid Mrs.
Whitman's resting now
and can't be disturbed.
Oh, I'm afraid
you're wrong, son.
She's standing up there
in that window wide awake.
You heard what he said.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I-I
heard what he said.
Tell her I came
by, will you? Yeah.
Ooh.
Maisie, no!
Don't drink that tea.
This tea is good.
Chamomile. It's very soothing.
Oh, very soothing. Does wonders.
Maisie, they've
drugged your tea, honey.
Come on. Please
go with C.D., will you?
Oh, no. This is a good place.
I can see the lake,
and, C.D., Brian's coming back.
He wants to talk to me.
He wants to tell me something.
I know he does.
Yes, yes, I know, but...
I know Brian wants to
tell you something, honey.
He wants to tell you
that you're in danger.
Please come on and
go with old C.D., will you?
We'll get out of here, okay?
Everything will
be fine. Come on.
Come on, honey.
Everything will be just fine.
Don't you worry about a thing.
Everything will be just fine.
Hey. That old man's
car is still out front.
Where do you think you're going?
Don't you get in my way.
I'm a Texas Ranger,
and I'm taking
this lady with me.
You're not going anywhere.
Oh, C.D., what'll we do?
This!
Talk about a long day. Whoo!
Yeah, it's been a tough one.
When we get home, I'm
gonna take the longest shower.
That would be a great idea.
Hey, you don't smell like
a bed of roses either, pal.
Now what?
Walker.
Hi, it's me.
I just got off the
phone with Mr. Garcia.
He's more eager than ever
to testify against Hillman.
He's a tough old guy.
Yeah. And speaking
of tough old guys,
that's why I'm calling.
I'm worried about C.D.
Why? What's the Big
Dog got himself into now?
He's investigating
Brian's murder.
Brian was murdered?
It sure seems that way.
He went over to Maisie's,
and I haven't been
able to reach him.
Would you head over there,
and I'll fill you in on the way?
Okay.
Caroline, you've got
about as much chance
as a tepee in a twister
of gettin' away with this.
Alex Cahill is already
lookin' at the trust fund.
Oh, shut up. As
soon as Maisie's dead,
that trust fund's
gonna be all mine.
You gonna let us through,
or do we walk over you?
I guess we walk over 'em.
Yeah. Which one
do you wanna take?
I'll take the big one.
It's from Brian's safe.
See, Brian left his
gun for his mother
for protection.
But after he died, she
was gonna commit suicide.
When her good
friend tried to stop her,
she shot him and then herself.
And Peter and Caroline
lived happily ever after.
Drop it!
Hey, drop it!
Jimmy, I'm glad you
and Cordell still have
that great sense of timing.
Hey! Ha-ha-ha. Hey.
Charlie.
Won't be long now.
Two more weeks to my retrial,
and I'll be free as a bird.
Hey, I'll be thinking about you
when when I'm
drinking a piña colada
down in Barbados.
Hope you won't miss me too much.
No, Hillman, I
don't think I will. Oh.
I'm not gonna miss you at all...
because you're
not going anywhere.
Ha-ha. Yeah, right.
This way, Sutherland.
Your cellmate's back.
Thank you.
HOPE. Help Our People Excel
is all about friends
helping friends.
And believe me, I know.
No matter how bad it gets,
no matter how great
the odds against you,
you can always
count on your friends
to make it all right.
I am so blessed
to be able to establish,
in the name of my son,
the Brian Whitman Fund
to guarantee that this good
and important work continues.

Uh, no. She's not
feeling too well.
Oh. Are you okay?
Well, you seem a little down.
Oh, I'm fine, I'm fine.
No, but I do have to go, though.
Oh.
Listen, you have her
home at a reasonable hour.
Okay. Take care.
I love you, Mom.
Bye, sweetheart.

how we have to drag our

Yes. You're always telling
me you have two left feet.
That's funny, because
Jimmy has two right feet.
Well, maybe Walker and
I should dance together.
I think that's a good idea.
Yeah. Yeah.
I lead. Okay.
Peter, don't be so nervous.
You know Brian's

Please, you are
such a worrywart.
Yes.
Howdy.
Oh.
Uh, Brian.
Peter was in the
neighborhood and...
Yeah. I just wanted to see
if you were up for a nightcap.
Yeah, yeah, and
since I wasn't here,
you just figured what the hell,
you might as well
sleep with my wife.
Just save it, okay?
I've known about you
two for a long time.
In fact, I was gonna
call a divorce lawyer.
Oh, Brian, you know...
No, no. I said I was
gonna call a divorce lawyer.
Of course, that was
before I found out you two
were stealing from
my family's trust fund.
So now I think I'll just
call the police instead.
Now, now, don't
run away now, Peter.
I want you to
have that nightcap.
It's gonna be your
last for a while.
No!
Oh.

I assure you, Brice
Sutherland's escape
was an aberration, and
he will be recaptured.
I spoke with the governor
a few minutes ago,
and he assured me
that he is very concerned
about both how and why
the prisoner managed to escape.
Now, those questions
will be answered,
but right now we have a very
dangerous man on the loose.
Our first priority
is the capture of
Brice Sutherland.
For that reason,
the governor's calling
in the Texas Rangers.
Hey. Where are you
two headed? Hey.
Huntsville.
Yeah, the governor called us.
We're gonna head up the
manhunt for Brice Sutherland.
Good. The sooner that
one's back inside, the better.
Mr. Garcia and I were just
going over his testimony
in the Hillman case.
I'm sorry you have to go
through that again, Mr. Garcia.
No problem, Ranger. I'd
do anything to make sure
the man who shot
those people pays for it.
I'll call you. Okay.
We'll see you.
And the state will once again
prove beyond a shadow of a doubt
that the accused,
Mr. Frank Hillman,
robbed more than
half a million dollars
from the First Bank
of South Dallas...
Money which has
never been recovered
and in the process shot
the six potential
witnesses against him.
Five of those people died,
and by the grace of
God and his fighting spirit,
one man survived.
That brave man is prepared
to testify once again,
and his testimony
will put Mr. Hillman
back where he
rightfully belongs,
which is on death row.
Thank you, Miss Cahill.
The retrial will begin two
weeks from today at 9 a.m.
Until that time,
the defendant will be remanded
to the state penitentiary.
Please remove the prisoner.
How the hell did it happen, son?
It looks like Brian went
fishing this morning early.
He must have been
standing up in the boat,
and then hit a stump.
There's a lot of them out there
just underneath the surface.
The medical examiner
said that he fell, hit his head,
and he must have wound
up in the water and drowned.
Just a freak accident.
I'll be damned.
Well, let's go see the girls.
C.D. Maisie.
Maisie, I'm so sorry,
sweetheart. I'm sorry.
He was a wonderful
man, Caroline.
Thank you for coming over, C.D.
I'm afraid we're all
in a state of shock.
Well, if there's anything
I can do, let me know.
Come on, let's get you
inside. You're chilled.
Take care of her.
I just wish I could
get over this feeling.
Something was bothering
him these last few weeks.
Oh, I'm sure it was
nothing, Maisie.
He had wonderful friends,
a loving wife. He had you.
Well, he's at peace
now, God rest his soul.
Out of the car now!
Let's go! Move! Move!
All right. Just take it easy.
Shut up!
Look, take the car, all right?
Take it. Whatever you want.
No. No, don't!
We have been
extremely fortunate.
The ME Finding water in
Brian's lungs was pure luck.
Luck for me, anyway.
What do you mean by that?
Well, it means
he was still alive
when we put him in the lake,
which makes you
just as guilty as I am.
Ha-ha. As if I would
ever cross you.
My instinct for
self-preservation's
a lot stronger than that.
Besides, half the
trust fund is yours,
and I'm looking forward
to helping you... spend it.
Well, that's the
problem with you, baby.
You always think small.
You see, when I get
finished with Maisie,
we're gonna have everything.
Are you crazy?
We can't kill her too.
No. I'm not gonna kill her.
What is that stuff?
MDMA. Also known as ecstasy.
That's a powerful psychedelic.
She will know that
she has been drugged.
Not the way I'm gonna
give it to her in small doses.
When I get finished
with dear old Maisie,
everyone will think
she's crazy, including her.
This chamomile tea does
wonders, Maisie dear.
It's very soothing.
Thank you, dear.
You are so good to me.
Well, now that Brian's gone...
we're gonna have to
take care of each other.
This is good.
I know.
Just drink up.
That's all I can tell you.
Okay, thanks.
He's in a gray
SUV, probably new,
headed east on 785.
Get three choppers in
the air, two east, one west,
in case he doubles back.
Yes, sir.
Everything all right?
Oh.
Have you seen my
purse and my car keys?
I was going to go to the store,
but I can't find my
purse or my keys.
Are you sure you're all right?
That's the second
thing you've misplaced
in the past few minutes.
The second thing?
Oh, well, yes.
You couldn't find
your reading glasses.
Don't you remember?
Oh, look. Here they are.
Oh, thank you.
Are you sure you
feel up to going out?
Oh, I feel better if
I keep busy. Bye.
Bye.
The only town of any
size on 785 is Herndon.
He'll probably take the
first side road he comes to,
looking for a place
to lay low, right?
Hm.
What?
Herndon. What's the name
of that motorcycle gang
Sutherland belongs to?
The Demons.
Don't they have an
outfit in Herndon?
Yes, they do.
I told you! Members only!
We got company.
Texas Rangers.
We wanna ask you some questions.
Can't you read the sign?
It says "members only."
You mean this sign?
Don't even think about it,
unless you wanna go to
jail just like these guys are.
It was right there.
It was right there.
I know it was.
Is everything all right, ma'am?
My car's been stolen.
It was right here.
I can't believe it.
I was in the store no
more than 20 minutes.
Ma'am, are you sure you
remember where you parked?
It's an awfully big
lot. You'd be surprised
how many people forget.
I'm sure. I always
park in this row.
What kind of car is it?
I'll take a look around
the lot just to make sure.
Let me see. It's a '97 Eldorado.
License number?
Uh... A-G-L...
Uh... 3-7... No, 3-5-7...
Uh, no.
Uh, I'm sorry. I'm
just so flustered.
It's okay. Take your time.
Oh, Caroline.
Maisie, I've been
so worried about you.
You've been gone for hours.
Hours?
I'm Mrs. Whitman's
daughter-in-law.
Hi.
Caroline, my car's been stolen.
Well, dear, I saw your car.
It's around the other
side of the store.
I am so sorry.
Please forgive me.
Don't worry about it, ma'am.
It happens all the time.
Maybe you should run her home,
come back for her car later.
Well, that's a good idea.
Thank you for your help.
Come on, sweetheart.
I'll take you home.
Sutherland was here, man.
These were in the trash.
So when did he leave,
and where was he going?
Pal, I don't think you
fully grasp the situation.
We got resisting arrest,
assaulting a police officer,
possession with
intent to sell...
And accessory to murder.
That's right. That's right,
because Sutherland's killed
three people since he escaped.
You got a piece of that
because you're protecting him.
Three counts of
murder so far. Sit down!
Okay, he was here. He
left a half an hour ago.
Took one of the bikes.
Where was he headed?
Where was he headed?
He didn't say. He...
But he's looking for a gun.
He wants something
untraceable. For what?
A job. He said he
had some kind of job.
What kind of a job?
He didn't say.
What's Sutherland up to?
And why is he so hot to
get an untraceable gun?
And what is this job?
Let's call Huntsville
and find out who was
Sutherland's cellmate.
Mama!
Mama!
Hey, Mom!
Brian!
Brian.
Hey, Mom!
Brian!
Br... Brian!
Mama.
Maisie! What happened?
I saw him.
I saw Brian. I saw him!
What?
I saw him.
Maisie! Snap out of it.
Now... Now, you just
snap out of it. Come on.
You're gonna be okay.
Come on. Come on.
Brian, what?
What is it?
Maisie?
Maisie, Brian's dead.
I know my boy is dead,
but he's trying to
tell me something.
What is it?
Maisie, dear.
You've gotta relax.
You've had a terrible shock,
and it's gotten
you all mixed up.
With everything that's happened
and with you being
so upset and all,
Peter and I were thinking
that it would be better
if you left the running
of things to us.
It's for your protection,
so no one will take
advantage of you.
Do you...? Do you understand?
Whatever you think is best.
Yes. I think that would be best.
Oh, it would be best
for you and for everyone.
But the thing is,
in order to do that,
we have to have
a little something.
It's called a
competency hearing.
It's just a formality.
Fine, fine.
All right, I'll get right
on the paperwork.
Howdy.
I don't think I've
seen you before.
Yeah, I'm George, Mrs.
Whitman's new driver.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's... It's good
to see you, George.
No, you don't
understand. I think...
I think maybe I am crazy.
I keep seeing things.
I saw Brian right down there.
I know I couldn't
have, but I did.
Maisie, I know you.
You're solid as the
Rock of Gibraltar, honey.
Brian's death has just
thrown you for a loop.
There are people that
can intervene here.
Please let me take
you to get some help.
Mrs. Whitman? It's time
for you to come in and rest.
Who are these people?
Who's hiring these clowns?
Carol... Caroline's
taking care of me now.
Don't worry. Don't
fret. I'm all right.
Could you see yourself out, sir?
Yes, I'll just see myself out...
you big oaf.
Chopper 3 to Rangers
Walker and Trivette. Over.
This is Trivette. Go ahead.
We have visual
contact on the suspect.
He's headed north
on Farm Road 953.
Repeat, we have visual
contact on the suspect. Over.
Roger, Chopper 3. We're on it.
Where's 953?
Right there!
I should give you
more notice next time.
I'd appreciate it.
Got 'em.
Well, I hope it wasn't
too much trouble.
No. You know I'd do
anything for Maisie.
What's this all about?
Well, I don't know.
Maybe nothing...
or... maybe something.
Yeah.
What is it?
Look at the clothing.
Well, it's the same thing
he had on at the dance.
Western shirt and jeans.
That's right. And a
man could go fishin'
with a shirt and
jeans like that,
but cowboy boots?
Unlikely. And where's his cap?
His cap? What's that
supposed to mean?
Maisie showed me some pictures
of Brian the other day, fishing.
In every picture,
he had on his cap.
His lucky fisherman cap.
Fishermen would
rather fish buck-naked
than not have their
lucky cap, honey.
Well, C.D., maybe it fell
off when he hit his head,
or maybe it fell
off in the water.
Maybe.
C.D., you know I
trust your instincts,
but you can't open
an investigation
based on a lucky cap.
No, I know that. I
don't have any answers,
but I have a lot of questions.
And I think I'm gonna take
myself a little fishing trip.
Thank you, sweetheart. Sure.
That's him.
This is Rangers
Trivette and Walker
in pursuit of
suspect, Route 953.
This is Ranger Trivette.
We got a civilian car off
the road. Rendering aid.
Suspect still
headed north on 953.
Howdy.
Howdy.
Mind if I share
the lake with you?
Oh, no, you're welcome to do it.
There's more than
enough fish out here.
You know the Whitmans? I
mean, are you friends of theirs?
Yeah. Maisie and I,
we're... We're good friends.
Oh, it was a sad
thing about that boy.
Yes, it was. I'll say it was.
You knew Brian, did you?
Oh, yeah. I knew Brian
since he was a little kid.
Really?
We did a lot of fishing
together, me and Brian.
Huh. Yeah. He was a fine boy.
Oh, he was that.
I'll say that for him, yes, sir.
What did y'all catch mostly?
Blue-gilled fish and...
And... And crappie.
But now, Brian, he never
tried to get nothing else but bass
as long as I ever knew him.
And I'll bet you
he wore that hat
every time he put
a hook in water.
Never put a line in without it,
wearin' that hat.
I'll bet he didn't.
There's something
that I don't understand.
I can't figure out
what Brian was doing
fishing in front
of his own house
when they dredged that
area not too long before that,
and there weren't no fish in it!
Dispatch to Rangers
Walker and Trivette.
Brice Sutherland was
spotted leaving the residence
of Arnie Freeman,
620 Cottonwood,
ex-con on parole with
two gun-dealing priors.
Thanks, Dispatch.
Now, for maximum stopping power,
you need this baby right here.
Fully automatic,
20 rounds a second.
Texas Rangers. Put the gun down.
I'm a collector.
I'm a collector!
You guys never heard of
the Second Amendment?
Have you heard of three
strikes and you're out, Arnie?
Oh, whoa! Nothing
says I can't have guns
for my own personal protection.
Protection from what, an army?
Don't waste our time.
Where's Brice Sutherland?
I don't know.
Arnie, you got two
priors. This makes three.
You're looking at
serious time, Arnie.
Real serious
time. Think about it.
Okay. He was here.
Bought a 9 mm.
How long ago?
Fifteen, 20 minutes.
Where was he
headed? I don't know.
I swear!
You better not be lying to us.
I'm not lying. I
swear, I'm not lying!
Where to now?
I don't know.
He's around here somewhere.
Yeah. Trivette.
Yeah. Thanks.
Hey, Sutherland's
cellmate was Frank Hillman.
That's the guy that Alex
is prosecuting in the retrial.
And the only witness
against him lives here.
Jorge Garcia.
Hillman must be
offering Sutherland
a cut of his unrecovered money.
To take out Jorge Garcia. Yeah.
I'll get his address.
Okay.
Hi, C.D.
Alex, how are you?
What'd you find out, honey?
Maisie's competency hearing
is scheduled for tomorrow.
Boy, they didn't waste
any time, did they?
No. If they find
her incompetent,
Caroline will be
appointed her conservator.
She'll be in charge
of Maisie's trust fund
along with that
sidewinder, Peter.
Yeah. Didn't you
find out anything
on your fishing trip?
Plenty. Why did they rig it
to look like he
was trolling for trout
when he was strictly
a bass fisherman?
Why was he fishing
where there was no fish
and without his fishing hat?
That's a lot of questions
with no answers.
Yeah. I know that,
honey, but this stinks.
This stinks to high heaven.
You think he was murdered?
I'd bet on it.
Way down deep in these
old experienced bones,
it says yes.
What about the
water in his lungs?
Oh, that just goes to show you
he was alive when
he hit the water, honey.
Maybe they got their hands
caught in the cookie jar,
and Brian found out.
You know, I have a friend
down at the bank examiner's
office who owes me a favor.
Why don't I find out what's
going on with that trust?
Now you're talkin'.
Who's there?
Die, old man!
- You're the last witness.
- No, no!
No! No!
Sutherland!
Throw the gun away.
Now get up.
I'd like to see Mrs. Whitman.
I'm afraid Mrs.
Whitman's resting now
and can't be disturbed.
Oh, I'm afraid
you're wrong, son.
She's standing up there
in that window wide awake.
You heard what he said.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I-I
heard what he said.
Tell her I came
by, will you? Yeah.
Ooh.
Maisie, no!
Don't drink that tea.
This tea is good.
Chamomile. It's very soothing.
Oh, very soothing. Does wonders.
Maisie, they've
drugged your tea, honey.
Come on. Please
go with C.D., will you?
Oh, no. This is a good place.
I can see the lake,
and, C.D., Brian's coming back.
He wants to talk to me.
He wants to tell me something.
I know he does.
Yes, yes, I know, but...
I know Brian wants to
tell you something, honey.
He wants to tell you
that you're in danger.
Please come on and
go with old C.D., will you?
We'll get out of here, okay?
Everything will
be fine. Come on.
Come on, honey.
Everything will be just fine.
Don't you worry about a thing.
Everything will be just fine.
Hey. That old man's
car is still out front.
Where do you think you're going?
Don't you get in my way.
I'm a Texas Ranger,
and I'm taking
this lady with me.
You're not going anywhere.
Oh, C.D., what'll we do?
This!
Talk about a long day. Whoo!
Yeah, it's been a tough one.
When we get home, I'm
gonna take the longest shower.
That would be a great idea.
Hey, you don't smell like
a bed of roses either, pal.
Now what?
Walker.
Hi, it's me.
I just got off the
phone with Mr. Garcia.
He's more eager than ever
to testify against Hillman.
He's a tough old guy.
Yeah. And speaking
of tough old guys,
that's why I'm calling.
I'm worried about C.D.
Why? What's the Big
Dog got himself into now?
He's investigating
Brian's murder.
Brian was murdered?
It sure seems that way.
He went over to Maisie's,
and I haven't been
able to reach him.
Would you head over there,
and I'll fill you in on the way?
Okay.
Caroline, you've got
about as much chance
as a tepee in a twister
of gettin' away with this.
Alex Cahill is already
lookin' at the trust fund.
Oh, shut up. As
soon as Maisie's dead,
that trust fund's
gonna be all mine.
You gonna let us through,
or do we walk over you?
I guess we walk over 'em.
Yeah. Which one
do you wanna take?
I'll take the big one.
It's from Brian's safe.
See, Brian left his
gun for his mother
for protection.
But after he died, she
was gonna commit suicide.
When her good
friend tried to stop her,
she shot him and then herself.
And Peter and Caroline
lived happily ever after.
Drop it!
Hey, drop it!
Jimmy, I'm glad you
and Cordell still have
that great sense of timing.
Hey! Ha-ha-ha. Hey.
Charlie.
Won't be long now.
Two more weeks to my retrial,
and I'll be free as a bird.
Hey, I'll be thinking about you
when when I'm
drinking a piña colada
down in Barbados.
Hope you won't miss me too much.
No, Hillman, I
don't think I will. Oh.
I'm not gonna miss you at all...
because you're
not going anywhere.
Ha-ha. Yeah, right.
This way, Sutherland.
Your cellmate's back.
Thank you.
HOPE. Help Our People Excel
is all about friends
helping friends.
And believe me, I know.
No matter how bad it gets,
no matter how great
the odds against you,
you can always
count on your friends
to make it all right.
I am so blessed
to be able to establish,
in the name of my son,
the Brian Whitman Fund
to guarantee that this good
and important work continues.
