Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 7, Episode 6 - The Children of Halloween - full transcript

That really peeves me.

That gets me.

See, anybody can walk into
a store and buy a costume.

The genius of Halloween
is when you create,

when you make your costume.

You mean like the
costume you made last year?

Exactly. That... That
was a great costume.

Trivette, a bag of peanuts What?

And a bottle of soy
bean oil is not a costume.

I was George Washington Carver,

the preeminent agricultural
scientist of the 1800s.

That was a great costume.

It was subtle,
right? It was unique,

and it was educational.

Those judges ripped me off.

All units, we have a report
of a code 20 in progress.

2616 Harry Hines Boulevard.

That's three blocks from here.

This is Ranger
1. We've got that.

Roger, Ranger 1, but be advised,

caller reported
gorillas with guns.

Charge 'em with armed robbery,

reckless endangerment,

resisting arrest. What else?

How about impersonating

a more intelligent species?

Yeah. That too.

It is time to die.

That's it, good.
Get that leg up.

Good. Good. That's it.

Good.

That's it.

There you go. Keep moving.

Don't stay still.

Come down with

Nice. Nice, April.

Hyah!

Have a seat for forms.

You did a great job, Joey.

Thank you, sir.

You know, we really do
want to thank you, Mr. Malloy.

We were both a little concerned

he was heading in
the wrong direction,

but the progress Joey's
made since studying with you

has been incredible.

And it's not just
his martial arts.

I mean, his grades
are up in school.

He even keeps his room clean.

Mom, Dad,

some of the kids are going
down to the Pizza Palace

for a little celebration.

Can I go with them?

Okay, you can go.

Yes! But there's one condition.

What's that?

Pizza's on me.

Hey, you guys,
the pizza's on me.

I mean, the pizza's on my dad.

- Oh, that was sweet.
- Thanks, Mr. Williams.

See you guys later. Bye.

Help me!

Help me. Please!

Please. Help me.

Help me, please.

I'm over here.

Please help me!

Where are you?

I'm over here. Hurry. Please!

Um, I-I'll go get some help.

Shh! Shh!

Just relax. Shh!

He's out. Get the van.

Let's call it a day.

Hey, I got it.

What? The costume party.

We go as a team. A team?

Yeah. Lethal Weapon.

Mel Gibson, Danny Glover. Hm?

Hey.

Do you remember that last
movie they did, Lethal Weapon 4,

where Mel talked Danny
into taking his pants off

to distract that madman killer,

and Danny gets out there with
those heart-shaped shorts on,

flapping his arms
like a chicken?

That's what I'm
talking about, man.

Yes! See? It's
hilarious. We'll be great.

So, what's your idea?

Well, why don't you
go to the costume party

wearing those heart-shaped
shorts like Danny did,

flapping your arms
like a chicken?

I don't think
that's a good idea.

Okay, but you've always said

you wanted to take first place

for the most creative
costume. That would do it.

Well, yeah...

You really think
I'd have a chance?

Oh, absolutely.

No doubt about it.

See... Heh.

I know you. I know
what you're doing.

What? You're trying to get me

like Mel did to Danny
in the movie, aren't you?

Trivette, I am not
trying to do that.

Ooh, good. Good.

Yeah. Trivette.

Yeah. We'll be right over.

One of Trent's students
went out for pizza

and didn't come back.

Let's go.

Okay. Joey was last
seen here at 7:30.

So let's pair up and
search the neighborhood.

If you find him, call in.

Let's look in here.

Trivette.

His gi.

Walker, look.

Call the FBI.

My son.

Why did this happen?

Shh.

It's gonna be all right.

It's gonna be all right.

All right. Describe the fence.

You know, they were
so proud this morning

when he got his purple belt.

He did such a great job.

Walker, who would
do something like this?

I don't know. That's
what we gotta find out.

Two more children were abducted,

taken from their own backyard.

This time, two girls.

Oh, man. Same symbol
on the back fence.

Isn't that what
got you in trouble

in the first place, Melissa?

I didn't do nothin'.

Well, you were
thinking about it.

Yeah, well, if
thinking were a crime,

then right now I'd
be on death row.

Sweet kid.

Well, that's the trouble.

Underneath all
that bad attitude,

there really is a sweet kid
just screaming to get out.

Maybe we should
cut her open and see.

Why are you doing this to me?

What do you want?

Walker, have you got any leads

on Joey's disappearance?

Not yet. I'd like to help.

I thought you were on a case.

Yeah. I just wrapped it up.

Found the runaway
girl this morning.

She was staying with
some gangbanger.

Fifteen years old.
Can you believe that?

Okay, uh, Carlos, Trent
will team up with you

on the investigation. All right.

Great. FBI's
distributing these photos

and these flyers,

monitoring all the phone lines.

Yeah. This symbol was at
the site of both kidnappings.

That's a pentagram. Yeah.

It's a traditional
symbol of Satanic cults.

Oh, man. I've arrested
these types before.

They mutilate animals,

vandalize graves, churches.

And this is a list
of all the individuals

arrested or suspected
of Satanist activity

in the metroplex in
the past ten years.

Okay. Carlos, you and
Trent check these out.

You got it. Let's do it.

You're really good with him.

Oh, I like kids.

You ever think about
being a schoolteacher?

Yeah. Well, I thought about it.

I bet you'd be a great one.

Listen, about the other day,

I'm sorry if you thought I
was coming down on you.

No, it's not that. It's just...

I'm trying real
hard not to steal.

I know you are.

I mean, I know I messed up,

but I don't wanna
do that anymore.

Everybody still treats
me like I'm a thief.

Well, it takes time to
rebuild trust, Melissa.

Do you trust me, Miss Cahill?

I absolutely do.

Lucifer?

Can we do one tonight?

Please.

Patience.

Patience, precious.

Patience.

Release him.

I'm sorry, Lucifer.

Look at me!

You betrayed me,

and you've sinned
against the coven.

Oh, forgive me, master.

Please!

Forgive me.

Shh. Shh. For trying to leave.

I'll never leave again.

Forgive me!

Forgive me!

There is no forgiveness here.

You're both sure about this?

If there's a chance,
even a slim one,

that it'll help get Joey back,

then it's worth it.

We'll do the press conference.

Ranger Walker,

do you think he's still alive?

Do you think Joey's still alive?

Yes, ma'am, I do.

Shh. It's gonna be okay.

I know. How about I
tell you both a story?

It's not gonna be
a scary one, is it?

No. It's a happy story.

It happened a long time ago.

Once upon a time,

there was this little
girl, and she was afraid,

just like you guys.

A Satanist?

I was 17 years old.

Okay, look. Me and some friends
got drunk on peach schnapps,

and we knocked
over a few headstones.

We got caught,
I paid restitution,

and my father gave me a
whooping I will never forget.

It was a stupid thing to do,

and I regret it.

But does that make
me a Satanist?

Give me a break.

Five more minutes.

Then it's time to
get ready for bed.

Okay, Mom.

You're doing a great job, honey.

To the people who
took my son, please,

if you're out there,
if you're listening,

we just want our son back.

Just... Please don't hurt him.

Anyone with information
regarding the abduction

of Joey Williams, please call...

Tony?

It's time to come in.

Tony?

Eat.

We've had another abduction.

His name's Tony March.

Twelve years old.

Took him right from
in front of his house.

That's four kids in four days.

What's going on?

I don't know, Trivette,

but we gotta get some answers.

Can I help you?

Well, hello, handsome.

Mm. Since when are
the Texas Rangers

so interested in magic?

How about right now?

I'd like to ask you
some questions.

Well, let me see
if I can oblige.

Questions about what?

Have you heard
about the children

disappearing here in Dallas?

Well, of course. I
know everything,

plus, it's been in
all of the papers.

This symbol was
left at the scene

of each of the abductions.

Oh, my God.

Do you guys have any idea
what this symbol represents?

That's why we're here.

Well, you've come
to the right place.

It represents the goat head.

It's a symbol of sacrifice.

Blood sacrifice.

Do you have any idea
who could be doing this?

Oh, please.

There are so many
nutjobs out there.

Hm.

Does anyone stick
out in your mind?

No. Oh.

There was one guy.

Gave me the goose bumps.

Not the good kind.

He was a real creep.

You guys smell a pig?

Yeah, I do smell a pig.

In fact, I smell two of them.

Hey, Cassie, these
pigs hassling you?

It's none of your
business, Lennie.

Well, I'm gonna make
it my business, okay?

And don't smart-mouth me.

You're hurting me. Let her go.

And what if I don't?

Then I'll be forced to
show you my magic trick.

Well, hey, I love magic.

Show me your trick.

This guy look like
Nicolas Cage to you?

Yeah, a little bit.

Okay. See my
hand? Yeah, I see it.

You see my hand? I see the hand.

You see my hand?
Yeah, I see the hand.

Ow!

He broke my nose, man!

Ta-da.

Ta-da?

You're getting as bad as me.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, you're welcome.

Now, you were telling us about
someone who came in here.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

It was a few months ago.

He bought a book.
Secret Satanic Rituals.

You remember his
name? No, not really.

He went by the name Lucifer.

But I did get an address.

I thought that would
get your attention.

He wanted me to join his
coven, or something like that.

Like I haven't
heard that before.

Now, where would I
put a creep's number?

"Handsome... Sexy..."

Oh. "Creep."

Ta-da.

2727 Mockingbird Drive.

You don't have another copy

of that Satanic
Ritual book, do you?

Well, be careful
what you ask for.

You might just get it.

Thanks.

Well, you come on
back now, you hear?

All right, ma'am. Well,
thank you for your time.

Uh. Strike ten.

Wait a minute. What
do you think of all this?

All what? This
devil worshipping.

I don't know.

For the most part,
just seems like a way

for a bunch of
misfits to justify

doing whatever they wanna do.

Yeah.

Where to next?

Down the street
and to the right.

Hey, Walker, you wanna
come take a look a this.

Trivette, get out!

The window!

Oh, that was close.

Too close.

Hail Satan.

Hail Satan.

Bringer of darkness
and all that is evil,

open wide.

Open wide the gates
of hell, and come forth

to receive this sacrifice.

Hail Satan!

By all the gods of the pit,

I command that these things

of which I speak
shall come to pass!

Hail Satan!

Hail Satan!

Hail Satan!

Huh. You're sure
this is the right place?

It's listed as a work address.

What'll you have? Information.

Fresh out.

Does this restock the shelves?

Who you looking for?

A woman named Belinda Jordan.

Never heard of her.

She used to work here.

So did a couple
hundred other bimbos.

Thanks.

Come on, baby, we
want you to dance for us.

Right now.

I'm on a break.

Now, you listen good.

Now, you start
dancing for us right now,

or I'll give you a
break. Right in the nose.

I think the lady said
she's on her break.

So leave her alone.

Ah, so what?

You two pretty boys out
here lookin' for a whoopin'?

That's an attractive offer.

And we'd really like
to take you up on that,

but, uh, we're on our break.

Your break? Yeah, what break?

My nose! TRENT: That one.

So you guys are
looking for Belinda?

Gotcha.

Walker.

David Thompson.

Long history of
mental instability.

Time in mental institutions,

animal cruelty and mutilation.

Oh, man. This guy
actually believes

he's the son of the devil.

Right now, I'd believe anything.

Hey!

What?

Put that back. Make me.

Put it back. Give it to me.

Hey.

What's going on
here? I was walking by

and I saw her stealing that
money from that pocketbook.

That's a lie. He was
stealing the money, not me.

I told her to put it back,
but she wouldn't listen.

What's going on here?

Some money was taken
from my pocketbook.

Melissa?

I didn't take it!

Why won't anyone believe me?

I thought you trusted me.

I'm going outside
to talk to Melissa.

When I come back, I
want to know the truth

about what happened
here. Is that clear?

Yes, Miss Cahill.

Melissa!

Bring her!

Belial, bring her!

Come on.

Get her legs in.

Let's go.

Trivette, listen to this.

"Ritual of ascension.

"Sacrifice must take place

"in a cemetery at
exactly midnight

on Halloween."

Walker, tonight is Halloween.

We must have hundreds of
cemeteries in the metroplex.

Walker.

We'll be right there.

Alex is missing.

What time is it?

Almost 7.

We've got five hours.

Well, her real name's Belinda.

But she calls herself Belial.

Oh, please. Like she's some
kind of a devil worshipper

all of a sudden.

You know, ever since she
started hanging out with that creep,

she's just gotten too weird.

Do you know where
we could find her?

Well, she said something
about some old farmhouse.

She say where it was?

I think it's about ten
miles outside of Denton,

but I don't know where.

According to the
girl we talked to,

the farmhouse is located
within a 10-mile radius of Denton.

Then we have to
assume that the cemetery

is in close proximity
to the farmhouse.

All right. We narrowed it
down to those 11 locations.

Here you go. Okay.

There you go.

We'll take this one.

Yeah, this is a no-go. We
came up empty on this one.

All right, let's try the
next cemetery on the list.

All right.

Bring the children.

Yes, Lucifer.

Do not be afraid.

This is not the
end, but merely...

the beginning.

You and the children

shall live in eternity...

sitting with Satan.

Hail Satan.

This can't be the place.

We're running out of
time. Let's get out of here.

It is time to die.

Hail Satan!

All who dwell in the fiery pit,

I command you, come forth.

Answer to your name
as witness to this holy

sacrifice!

Trivette, watch the kids.

Anybody hurt? No.

Okay, come on, follow me.
Come on, come on, come on.

Abaddon!

Beherit!

Chemosh!

The police are here.

Stop them.

Get her. Spin her around.

Look at me.

I sacrifice this soul
in the name of Satan

and all things lustful and evil.

And I bequeath this soul

to reside in damnation
forever with Satan!

Drop the knife.

You can't kill me.

I'm Lucifer, son of Satan!

I said drop it.

No!

No!

You okay?

You guys all right?
Yeah, we're fine.

Okay, before we begin,

I'd like to introduce
you all to a new student.

Class, this is Melissa.

Hey, Melissa.

And since this is her first day,

I'd like a volunteer
to work with her.

It would be my honor, sir.

Joey, take her to the back

and work with her on the
proper method of punching.

Yes, sir.

Ready stance!

Come to attention.

Bow. Back to ready.

So...

are you telling me my
love spells didn't work?

I'm afraid not, Cassandra.

I must be slipping.

Next time I'll try harder.

And I do hope
there'll be a next time.

So, handsome,

if you should
change your mind...

Hi. Hi.

Who's that?

It's a long story. Oh. Good.

We have all night.
