A Chinese diplomat who is a friend of Walker's is in the country to bring some students to his country. Later when one of Chinese Embassy staff turns up dead Walker and the others ...

America.
Is this a great
country, or what?
Where else could two
guys like us come together,
all in the name
of capitalism, huh?
Whatever, man.
Give me the heroin.
This? Oh.
Hey, Manny, what's the hurry?
Look, P.K., this ain't
no game, all right?
Just give me the heroin.
No, you're wrong, Manny.
This is a game,
and I love playing it.
(P.K. chuckles)
Whoo.
MANNY: Later, P.K.
(car engine starts)
Sounds to me like
you and Alex have got
almost everything for
the wedding nailed down.
Yep. Yeah.
Yeah, you got the
church and the minister.
Yep.
You got the caterer
and the entertainment.
Mm-hm.
She's got the maid of honor.
Most important of all,
you got your best man,
(chuckling): me.
Well, you're my best friend.
Why wouldn't you be my best man?
Well, I had some stiff
competition going there.
I mean, you could've
chosen White Eagle, or C.D.
Manny.
Manny? Manny.

MAN: What's up, man?
What's up, man? What's up?
What's going on?
All right, here's the stuff.
The rate's a hundred per.
Let's go make some green.
TRIVETTE: Making
green's gonna be tough
when you're dressed
in prison grays.

(bone cracks)
(sirens wailing)
Walker, Manny!
( action theme playing)
Hey, Manny. Come on, get in.
(groans) (laughing)
( dramatic theme playing)
(people chattering)
Black dot heroin.
The same stuff that killed
those students last week.
Problem is, none
of the gangbangers
know where the drugs came from.
Manny was the only
contact with the source.
And that's what got him killed.
(piano playing soft music)
(all chattering)
Ah, thank you so much
for all your help, Alex.
The student exchange
program is a great idea, Edward,
and I really appreciate
your doing it.
Yes, it's a perfect way to
build a bridge to the future, sir.
Children are our best hope.
As these boys and girls trade
their homes for three months,
it might help move toward
mutual understanding.
Walker, isn't that one of your
Kick Drugs Out Of America kids?
WALKER: Yeah, it sure is.
He qualified for the
exchange program.
Let's go congratulate
him. Be right back.
I like your Ranger Walker.
I kind of like him too.
(both laugh)
Hi, Dad.
Hello, Miss Cahill. Hey, there.
P.K.
You're here.
I wouldn't miss
this great occasion.
Ah. Ha-ha-ha!

(piano playing soft music)
Thank you so much
for your generosity.
EDWARD: Thank you very much.
Well, we did it.
With Mr. Waterson's donation
we covered all the
program's expenses.
SYDNEY: Well, that's great.
It sure is.
We owe it all to Alex.
Mr. Waterson couldn't
resist her charm and beauty.
She can be quite persuasive
when she makes her mind up.
Just forget it, P.K.
Well, I think I'm gonna
call it a night, folks.
Yeah, you know, I'd better
go too. Congratulations.
It was nice meeting
you. Thank you.
Good night. Night.
See you guys. See
you guys tomorrow.
You already ordered your
tux for the wedding, right?
Huh? Oh, no, not yet.
Why?
Well, because I got
plenty of time, Syd.
No, you don't
have plenty of time.
You're gonna wait
until the last minute
and then it's not gonna fit.
Well, have you
ordered your tux yet?
My...?
Or your dress, or whatever.
Yeah, as a matter
of fact, yes, I have.
Oh. Now look, I want you...
I want you to go and
order it tomorrow, all right?
Okay, all right.
This is my floor.
I'll see you in the morning.
All right. Don't
forget tomorrow.
Okay, Syd. All right.
Baby, you are overreacting.
I know what I heard, P.K.
Then forget what you
heard. How can I forget?
You were talking about a
large shipment of heroin,
and I helped you. I
know what I heard.
(grunts)
You watch your mouth, huh?
Let me go, P.K. Huh? Huh?
Hey, hey! Hey, let her go.
( tense theme playing)
(chuckles)
You think you can make me?
I'm a Texas Ranger, sir,
and I'm not gonna say it again.
Let the lady go, please.
You made a mistake
interfering with my business, cop.
We'll talk about that
down at the station.
Now turn around and put
your hands behind your head.
Whoa. Now.
You were warned.
Whatever.
Let him go.
Miss, please don't
complicate things.
(grunts)
( action theme playing)
I warned you, cop.
(grunts)
Huh? I gave you a chance. Huh?!
(tires squeal)
P.K.: Huh? Freeze!
Texas Ranger. On
the ground, now.
Whatever you say, Baywatch.
I said now!
(grunts)
Ah. Thanks.
You all right? Yeah.
(P.K. laughs)
You admit to assaulting
a police officer?
That's right.
For a Texas Ranger,
he's not very tough.
There's no smoking.
I mean, P.K., what is your
father gonna say about this?
Oh, he's gonna
say, "let my son go."
ALEX: And what
makes you think that?
Because that's
the way my dad is,
and there's a little matter
of diplomatic immunity.
You can't touch me.
( laughs)
( mouthing words)
Alex, you must know how
sorry I am for my son's actions.
I know, Edward, but your
son attacked a Texas Ranger.
I don't know what
happened to him.
He used to be such a nice boy.
Smart, but then... (sighs)
I will talk to him,
see that something like
this never happens again.
Apologize to Ranger
Gage for me, please, Alex?
WALKER: I know, but
there's nothing we can do.
P.K. Song is protected by his
father's diplomatic immunity.
He attacked Gage.
There's gotta be
something we can do.
How about this?
His immunity just means
he can't be prosecuted.
Why don't we contact
the State Department,
report the incident, and
have the joker deported?
GAGE: I don't know
that we wanna do that.
At least not just yet.
What are you talking about?
Well, hear me out. I
overheard P.K. and his girlfriend
talking in the
garage about heroin.
Heroin?
Something to the effect
that she had helped him
with a large shipment.
TRIVETTE: You think he might
be wrapped up in all this stuff
that's hitting the streets?
Well, I don't know,
but we do know
that he's capable
of almost anything.
I wonder what P.K.'s
girlfriend's name is?
Laurie Chang.
Let's get her address.
I already did my homework.
Trivette, let's go talk to her.
We'll check her background.
( suspenseful theme playing)
WOMAN: No, no!
(woman screaming)
( dramatic theme playing)
(grunts)
(gasps)
TRIVETTE: Call it in!
I'll take the stairs.
( action theme playing)
Clear.
The roof.
( suspenseful theme playing)
( action theme playing)
(yells)
(grunts)
(bones crack)
Hyah.
(groans)
( heroic theme playing)
(man groans)
You okay? Yeah.
Get up.
Take off your masks.
(speaks in Chinese)
Where are they going?
(both screaming)
( dramatic theme playing)
(sirens wailing)
(crowd chattering)
(engine starts)
I wonder how much she knew.
Whatever she knew, it
was enough to get her killed.
This is a new one on me too.
Why would two guys rather fall
to their death than be arrested?
I think I know why. Come here.
( dramatic theme playing)
Who is he?
Black Dragon.
The symbol of the triad.
What's this all about, Walker?
Whatever it is, it's not good.
( dramatic theme playing)
( suspenseful theme playing)
TRIVETTE: Black Dragons.
They started out as a communist
special ops unit out of Vietnam.
That's when I first
encountered them.
TRIVETTE: Yeah. They had
a hand in training the Vietcong,
then they got into other things.
Black market weapons
and drugs, mostly heroin.
Interpol says they're one
of the most powerful triads
in all of Asia.
And now they're here in Dallas.
What did you find out
about Laurie Chang?
Well, she worked at
the Chinese consulate.
She was in charge of overseeing
all the diplomatic pouches
that went in and out of Dallas.
Mm.
You said that Laurie Chang
accused P.K. of using her?
That's right.
SYDNEY: Do you
think he was using her
to cover shipments
of black dot heroin?
Could be.
You know, if P.K. was
worried that she might talk,
that could be the
reason Laurie was killed.
It's a good theory.
How do we find out?
I've got an idea.
I'm gonna go talk to Alex.
Walker, I've already
spoken to Edward.
He won't lift his
son's immunity.
Yeah, I know, but
maybe he'll let us
take a look at the
Consulate records.
And we can see
what P.K.'s up to.
I'll see what I can do.
Okay, good.
MAN: Monster,
Monster, Monster Man.
Get your trading cards
hot right off this truck
and 100 percent guaranteed.
And fella, don't be a sap
and invest in the market.
Not when you can invest in
Monster Man trading cards
and have fun and make a great
investment all at the same time.
Now, I want to see your
hands and see your money.
Who's gonna be number one?
(children clamoring)
Provided you got a
license to sell them, Shelby.
Oh, no.
That's it. Store's closed.
Store's closed. Hey,
wait a minute, man.
You can't do this. Hey,
what are you, deaf?
Buzz off. The store's closed.
Oh, come on.
Trivette, Walker, I... I
know what this looks like.
Take it easy, Shelby.
We just wanna talk.
Oh, man. Every time
you guys say that to me,
I know it's gonna be a bad day.
What do you know
about black dot heroin?
Nothing. Shelby, don't get ugly.
Answer the man's
questions, we'll get out of here.
Honest. I know nothing.
You're a two-time loser, Shelby.
Don't make it three.
All right, the word on the
street is that there's a...
A big shipment of
heroin coming in soon.
Black dot heroin?
Black dot, pink dot, polka dot.
How the heck should I know?
I don't mess with that stuff.
How soon?
(sighs)
The word is it's
the end of the week.
How big?
What is this, Twenty Questions?
If you were to believe
the street druggies,
which I generally
do not, the rumor is
that it's the biggest shipment
this city has ever seen.
Over a ton.
Of course, how
they're gonna pull it off,
I don't have any idea.
Walker... No, get back to work.
Monster, Monster Man!
Come on back here, kids,
and show me your money.
EDWARD: Black dot heroin?
And possibly murder, Edward.
Now will you let
the Texas Rangers
take a look at those files?
What files?
( dramatic theme playing)
Hm.
Files on you, P.K.
Me? What for?
The Texas Rangers think
that you may be involved
in some serious crimes,
and they wanna look
at the consulate records
for your recent activities.
And you're letting them do this?
Why? Do you have
something to hide?
No, of course not.
Check whatever files
you want to check.
We should look at any
shipments authorized
by either P.K. or Laurie Chang.
( tense theme playing)
The files have been deleted.
Now how could
that have happened?
( ominous theme playing)
We found out that
the Black Dragons
have a shipment
of heroin coming in.
Over a ton, but we
don't know where.
Listen to this. We
may have something.
SYDNEY: You know
the two Black Dragons
you guys tangled
with at Laurie Chang's?
Customs and
Immigration traced them
back to the same
village in southeast China.
It turns out they both have
the same American sponsor.
GAGE: China Sea Imports.
Wanna put together a task force?
Hm. Not yet.
Why not?
Well, P.K. and the Black
Dragons are only half the problem.
With a ton of heroin
coming into the city,
you've gotta have
distributors already lined up.
All right, so we wait to bust
them until the heroin arrives,
we get the bad guys, the
goods, and the American contacts.
So, what's our next move?
Let's check out this
China Sea Imports.
( suspenseful theme playing)
My, oh, my, 93 percent pure.
I am impressed, P.K.
Don't be, Dex.
It's always good when the
Black Dragons guarantee it.
(scoffs)
Well, that's a pretty big
promise there, P.K., isn't it?
You calling us liars?
No.
Hey, of course not, man.
Good.
Because the real question is,
how much can you boys handle?
As much as you can provide.
We got distribution
in Dallas, New York,
Chicago, and Los Angeles.
Great.
Well, you're getting a full
ton in less than 24 hours.
You talking tomorrow?
Is there a problem?
No. No problem.
No.
Good.
( suspenseful theme playing)
(lock beeps)
(camera shutter clicking)
You getting pictures
of all of them?
Every single one of them.
You know, who would've
thought that being a photographer
on the yearbook would
ever come in handy?
They're splitting up.
You two follow P.K.
I'm driving.
GAGE: One little accident.
(engine starts)
( suspenseful theme playing)
I wonder who these guys are.
I'll run the check
on the plates.
(keypad beeping)
( suspenseful theme playing)
(phone ringing)
Yeah?
You're being followed, P.K.
By who?
Your friendly
neighborhood Ranger.
What do you want me to do?
Three thousand meters,
there's a gas station. Go there.
We'll take care of the rest.
All right, he's pulling over.
No kidding.
( suspenseful theme playing)
Ah, come on, P.K.,
let's get a move on.
What's the rush?
Oh, I got a tux fitting today.
You got a tux fitting? Yes.
Very good. What time?
Right now. Now?
I guess it's the
thought that counts.
There he is.
(engine starts)
( ominous theme playing)
Hold on.
( dramatic theme playing)
MAN: The Rangers
were trailing you, P.K.
Why?
I don't know, Master Ko,
but there's nothing
to worry about.
Nothing to worry about?
This delivery represents
months of work, millions of dollars.
For your sake, I
hope you're right.
You asked the coroner's
office to keep you posted.
Here.
More black dot heroin.
Killed another
two kids this week.
It's so pure they can't
help but overdose.
You should've seen the
families when they had to come
and identify the bodies.
Such pain.
We all know P.K. Song,
the suspected point man
for the heroin smuggling op.
As far as we can tell,
he's working as a liaison
between a group of Black Dragons
and these guys:
the Warley brothers,
career criminals.
They have ties to
organizations all over the country.
Now, if we can get to them,
maybe we can find out where
and when the shipment's due.
Yeah, but how do we get to them?
Hm.
Trivette?
Yeah?
Go get a copy of the tape of
Alex's conversation with P.K.
and meet me at Forensics.
Why?
I'll tell you when
I meet you there.
So let me get this straight.
Ah, let me think.
He's gonna say, "Let my son go."
You want me to use the
material from the video tape
to make a fake audio
recording of this P.K.'s voice?
Exactly, and we don't even
need it until later this afternoon.
(chuckles)
And we'd like for him to
say something like this.
Can you do it?
How much time do you
have of this guy talking?
About an hour.
An hour?
I think I can give
you what you want.
( suspenseful theme playing)
Cy, baby, listen, I'm telling
you, this Monster Men thing,
the trading cards, I
mean, it's pure gold.
You gotta get into this.
What do you mean
wait? Wait for what?
Make me an offer I can't refuse.
Well...
Oh, no. Oh, man.
What can I say? Not again.
Got a little job for you.
Jeez, damn.
Don't you have anything to do?
Don't you have a mother
to visit or something?
♪ Yeah ♪
( funky rock theme playing)
(patrons chattering)
Bartender, give me a drink.
Seven and seven, and
give my friend here a drink.
Keep them coming, and
don't break the rhythm.
Money is no object.
What do you know?
What do you say?
Say, listen, can I talk
to you a minute, Luke?
Who are you?
Lester. Lester Moody.
My... My friends...
All my friends,
they call me Slick.
What do you want, Lester?
Um...
I have something, you
know, I think you'd be
really interested in.
What?
This tape.
What's on it?
Well, uh, I think we should
talk a little business first.
See, uh, I want 200 bucks.
(clears throat)
I'll tell you what.
I'm gonna listen
to your little tape.
If I like what I hear,
I give you your money.
But if I don't like what I hear,
I'm gonna break every
bone in your body,
Slick.
(tape playing indistinctly)
( suspenseful theme playing)
Whoa! T-Take it
easy! Take it easy!
Shut up! Where the
hell did you get that?
M-My girlfriend works for
the Tarrant County
District Attorney's Office.
It's the same office that
the Assistant District Attorney
Alex Cahill works in.
Keep talking, pal.
So my girlfriend takes a walk
down the hall to get a
cup of coffee and she...
She overhears the Cahill
broad listening to the...
Shh. (whispers): To the tape.
Yeah, yeah. That
tape right there?
Yes, sir.
So when my girlfriend
told me, I mean, I...
I knew that you and your brother
would wanna know the story so,
I mean, this is a
big concern to you.
To you, your brother.
T-Ton of heroin and...
And a whole bunch
of Black Drag Queens.
It's Dragons, idiot.
Yeah, well, whatever.
Uh, so, Luke, is...
Is it worth the 200...
Two hundred bucks?
Yeah.
You beat it.
( suspenseful theme playing)
SYDNEY: There's the
signal. Luke bought it.
(phone dialing)
Yeah, Trivette, it's Gage.
Shelby just dropped
off the tape with Luke.
Are you picking up a
signal from the bug?
(beeping)
Yeah, we got it.
All right, stay with Luke.
Keep in touch.
Shelby just passed
the audio tape to Luke.
Okay, put the task
force on full alert.
( dramatic theme playing)
Walker,
I think you're gonna
wanna hear this.
( suspenseful theme playing)
(truck beeping)
(all chattering)
(engine starts)
MAN: Hold on there.
What's the problem?
Uh, truck's not on the list.
What do you mean
it's not on the list?
We're with the consulate.
It's always on the list.
Not today it's not.
Someone must've
called in and removed it.
Do you know who I am?
No.
(laughs)
Well, for the sake of your
job, I think you ought to
recheck that list
with your supervisor.
Fine, mister.
(grunts)
( suspenseful theme playing)
Well, let's go.
(tires squealing)
( suspenseful theme playing)
(beeping)
Okay, here they come.
( suspenseful theme playing)
P.K. erased his computer records
at the consulate,
but not the paper hard copies.
This shipping invoice
says he's supposed to be here.
Maybe he was.
Oh, my God.
(cell phone ringing)
Yeah, Trivette.
It's Gage. We got the
Warleys on the move.
Stay on them.
We'll call from the
road. You got it.
Sydney and Gage are
tracking the Warleys right now.
Call it in, Alex.
Alex,
do you think my son
could have done this?
I think you know the answer
to that question, Edward.
( dramatic theme playing)
(all chattering)
It's here.
You, uh...
make the arrangements
with the Americans?
You see, I told you there
wasn't gonna be any problem.
( suspenseful theme playing)
MAN: Hey, they expecting you?
I wonder whose place this is.
I'll check it out.
P.K.: Hey, what's the matter?
We got a problem.
MASTER KO: What kind of problem?
P.K. (on tape): Walker, the deal's
going down at the end of the week.
What is this?
The Black Dragons, the heroin.
My father and I
have it all set up.
Trust me, Walker.
These guys won't know
what's hit them until it's too late.
This is fake. I never said that.
What do you think
we are, idiots?
( dramatic theme playing)
( suspenseful theme playing)
(groans)
P.K. wouldn't say
things like that.
He wouldn't betray
the Black Dragons
because he knows
the consequences.
This tape's a fake.
Where'd you get it?
Aah! Okay, man.
Some guy in a bar, okay?
(siren wailing) Fools,
you've been set up!
TRIVETTE (outside):
Texas Rangers!
( dramatic theme playing)
(grunts)
(groans)
(groans)
( dramatic theme playing)
( tense theme playing)
(gun cocks)
You and I have a little
unfinished business.
Huh?
(groans)
You must be the head
of the Black Dragons.
That's right, Ranger,
but you're not taking me alive.
Not this lifetime.
Let's see about that.
( dramatic theme playing)
Come on, cop.
(both grunting)
( action theme playing)
(both grunting)
Whoa, hold on, hold on, hold on.
All right, turn around.
Put your hands behind your head
and interlock your fingers.
(grunts)
( action theme playing)
(bone cracks)
So you like to play rough, huh?
(both grunting)
(bone cracks)
(grunting)
( dramatic theme playing)
(Luke groaning)
(groans)
( dramatic theme playing)
(groans)
( heroic theme playing)
Don't you feel any remorse
for the kids who died
because of what you did?
Remorse?
(laughs)
I didn't force those
kids to take drugs.
No. You just gave
them the opportunity.
I'm really getting tired of
discussing this with you.
Now will you contact my father
so I can get out of here?
( suspenseful theme playing)
I am so ashamed.
I'm sorry, Edward.
I can no longer protect
my son's actions.
He must pay for
what he has done.
You're going to
revoke his immunity?
Yes.
I will sign whatever
you need me to sign.
(door closes)
I don't understand it, Walker.
Edward loves his son so much.
How could he go so wrong?
Sometimes the love of a parent
isn't enough to overcome
bad influences, Alex.
( suspenseful theme playing)
ALEX: Well, it's official.
Edward's exchange
kids are on the plane.
Next stop Beijing.
It's going to be the
experience of a lifetime.
I wish they'd had a program
like that when I was a kid.
Well, you know, even
if they had, Trivette,
it would've taken
like three months
for the ship to get to China.
Ship?
Did they have planes
when you were a kid?
(all laugh)
GAGE: Hi, guys.
Hi. Hi.
Hey, how did your fitting go?
Oh, I didn't make it.
ALEX & SYDNEY:
You didn't make it?
I had some stuff I had to do.
Stuff? What kind of
stuff? What do you mean?
Well, I had to work
out, I had just stuff.
Gage. A lot of
stuff I had to do.
Syd, relax, it's...
Got plenty of time for this.
Well, have you guys
gotten your tux yet?
No.
What?
No, me, either.
What?
See?
You know what? They
just can't help themselves.
They're men.
And?
Yeah. What?
What is that supposed to mean?
Gage, what they're
trying to say is that
men are from Mars.
TRIVETTE: Women are from Venus.
Oh, please.
Oh, I got you. All right.

America.
Is this a great
country, or what?
Where else could two
guys like us come together,
all in the name
of capitalism, huh?
Whatever, man.
Give me the heroin.
This? Oh.
Hey, Manny, what's the hurry?
Look, P.K., this ain't
no game, all right?
Just give me the heroin.
No, you're wrong, Manny.
This is a game,
and I love playing it.
(P.K. chuckles)
Whoo.
MANNY: Later, P.K.
(car engine starts)
Sounds to me like
you and Alex have got
almost everything for
the wedding nailed down.
Yep. Yeah.
Yeah, you got the
church and the minister.
Yep.
You got the caterer
and the entertainment.
Mm-hm.
She's got the maid of honor.
Most important of all,
you got your best man,
(chuckling): me.
Well, you're my best friend.
Why wouldn't you be my best man?
Well, I had some stiff

chosen White Eagle, or C.D.
Manny.

Hey, Manny. Come on, get in.

Black dot heroin.
The same stuff that killed
those students last week.
Problem is, none
of the gangbangers
know where the drugs came from.
Manny was the only
contact with the source.
And that's what got him killed.
(piano playing soft music)
(all chattering)
Ah, thank you so much
for all your help, Alex.
The student exchange
program is a great idea, Edward,
and I really appreciate
your doing it.
Yes, it's a perfect way to
build a bridge to the future, sir.
Children are our best hope.
As these boys and girls trade
their homes for three months,
it might help move toward
mutual understanding.
Walker, isn't that one of your
Kick Drugs Out Of America kids?
WALKER: Yeah, it sure is.
He qualified for the
exchange program.
Let's go congratulate
him. Be right back.
I like your Ranger Walker.
I kind of like him too.
(both laugh)
Hi, Dad.
Hello, Miss Cahill. Hey, there.
P.K.
You're here.
I wouldn't miss
this great occasion.

Thank you so much
for your generosity.
EDWARD: Thank you very much.
Well, we did it.
With Mr. Waterson's donation
we covered all the
program's expenses.
SYDNEY: Well, that's great.
It sure is.
We owe it all to Alex.
Mr. Waterson couldn't
resist her charm and beauty.
She can be quite persuasive
when she makes her mind up.
Just forget it, P.K.
Well, I think I'm gonna
call it a night, folks.
Yeah, you know, I'd better
go too. Congratulations.
It was nice meeting
you. Thank you.
Good night. Night.
See you guys. See
you guys tomorrow.
You already ordered your
tux for the wedding, right?
Huh? Oh, no, not yet.
Why?
Well, because I got
plenty of time, Syd.
No, you don't
have plenty of time.
You're gonna wait
until the last minute
and then it's not gonna fit.
Well, have you
ordered your tux yet?
My...?
Or your dress, or whatever.
Yeah, as a matter
of fact, yes, I have.
Oh. Now look, I want you...
I want you to go and
order it tomorrow, all right?
Okay, all right.
This is my floor.
I'll see you in the morning.
All right. Don't
forget tomorrow.
Okay, Syd. All right.
Baby, you are overreacting.
I know what I heard, P.K.
Then forget what you
heard. How can I forget?
You were talking about a
large shipment of heroin,
and I helped you. I
know what I heard.
(grunts)
You watch your mouth, huh?
Let me go, P.K. Huh? Huh?
Hey, hey! Hey, let her go.
( tense theme playing)
(chuckles)
You think you can make me?
I'm a Texas Ranger, sir,
and I'm not gonna say it again.
Let the lady go, please.
You made a mistake
interfering with my business, cop.
We'll talk about that
down at the station.
Now turn around and put
your hands behind your head.
Whoa. Now.
You were warned.
Whatever.
Let him go.
Miss, please don't
complicate things.
(grunts)
( action theme playing)
I warned you, cop.
(grunts)
Huh? I gave you a chance. Huh?!
(tires squeal)
P.K.: Huh? Freeze!
Texas Ranger. On
the ground, now.
Whatever you say, Baywatch.
I said now!
(grunts)
Ah. Thanks.
You all right? Yeah.
(P.K. laughs)
You admit to assaulting
a police officer?
That's right.
For a Texas Ranger,
he's not very tough.
There's no smoking.
I mean, P.K., what is your
father gonna say about this?
Oh, he's gonna
say, "let my son go."
ALEX: And what
makes you think that?
Because that's
the way my dad is,
and there's a little matter
of diplomatic immunity.
You can't touch me.
( laughs)
( mouthing words)
Alex, you must know how
sorry I am for my son's actions.
I know, Edward, but your
son attacked a Texas Ranger.
I don't know what
happened to him.
He used to be such a nice boy.
Smart, but then... (sighs)
I will talk to him,
see that something like
this never happens again.
Apologize to Ranger
Gage for me, please, Alex?
WALKER: I know, but
there's nothing we can do.
P.K. Song is protected by his
father's diplomatic immunity.
He attacked Gage.
There's gotta be
something we can do.
How about this?
His immunity just means
he can't be prosecuted.
Why don't we contact
the State Department,
report the incident, and
have the joker deported?
GAGE: I don't know
that we wanna do that.
At least not just yet.
What are you talking about?
Well, hear me out. I
overheard P.K. and his girlfriend
talking in the
garage about heroin.
Heroin?
Something to the effect
that she had helped him
with a large shipment.
TRIVETTE: You think he might
be wrapped up in all this stuff
that's hitting the streets?
Well, I don't know,
but we do know
that he's capable
of almost anything.
I wonder what P.K.'s
girlfriend's name is?
Laurie Chang.
Let's get her address.
I already did my homework.
Trivette, let's go talk to her.
We'll check her background.
( suspenseful theme playing)
WOMAN: No, no!
(woman screaming)
( dramatic theme playing)
(grunts)
(gasps)
TRIVETTE: Call it in!
I'll take the stairs.
( action theme playing)
Clear.

Hyah.

You okay? Yeah.
Get up.
Take off your masks.
(speaks in Chinese)
Where are they going?
(both screaming)
( dramatic theme playing)
(sirens wailing)
(crowd chattering)
(engine starts)
I wonder how much she knew.
Whatever she knew, it
was enough to get her killed.
This is a new one on me too.
Why would two guys rather fall
to their death than be arrested?
I think I know why. Come here.
( dramatic theme playing)
Who is he?
Black Dragon.
The symbol of the triad.
What's this all about, Walker?
Whatever it is, it's not good.
( dramatic theme playing)
( suspenseful theme playing)
TRIVETTE: Black Dragons.
They started out as a communist
special ops unit out of Vietnam.
That's when I first
encountered them.
TRIVETTE: Yeah. They had
a hand in training the Vietcong,
then they got into other things.
Black market weapons
and drugs, mostly heroin.
Interpol says they're one
of the most powerful triads
in all of Asia.
And now they're here in Dallas.
What did you find out
about Laurie Chang?
Well, she worked at
the Chinese consulate.
She was in charge of overseeing
all the diplomatic pouches
that went in and out of Dallas.
Mm.
You said that Laurie Chang
accused P.K. of using her?
That's right.
SYDNEY: Do you
think he was using her
to cover shipments
of black dot heroin?
Could be.
You know, if P.K. was
worried that she might talk,
that could be the
reason Laurie was killed.
It's a good theory.
How do we find out?
I've got an idea.
I'm gonna go talk to Alex.
Walker, I've already
spoken to Edward.
He won't lift his
son's immunity.
Yeah, I know, but
maybe he'll let us
take a look at the
Consulate records.
And we can see
what P.K.'s up to.
I'll see what I can do.
Okay, good.
MAN: Monster,
Monster, Monster Man.
Get your trading cards
hot right off this truck
and 100 percent guaranteed.
And fella, don't be a sap
and invest in the market.
Not when you can invest in
Monster Man trading cards
and have fun and make a great
investment all at the same time.
Now, I want to see your
hands and see your money.
Who's gonna be number one?
(children clamoring)
Provided you got a
license to sell them, Shelby.
Oh, no.
That's it. Store's closed.
Store's closed. Hey,
wait a minute, man.
You can't do this. Hey,
what are you, deaf?
Buzz off. The store's closed.
Oh, come on.
Trivette, Walker, I... I
know what this looks like.
Take it easy, Shelby.
We just wanna talk.
Oh, man. Every time
you guys say that to me,
I know it's gonna be a bad day.
What do you know
about black dot heroin?
Nothing. Shelby, don't get ugly.
Answer the man's
questions, we'll get out of here.
Honest. I know nothing.
You're a two-time loser, Shelby.
Don't make it three.
All right, the word on the
street is that there's a...
A big shipment of
heroin coming in soon.
Black dot heroin?
Black dot, pink dot, polka dot.
How the heck should I know?
I don't mess with that stuff.
How soon?
(sighs)
The word is it's
the end of the week.
How big?
What is this, Twenty Questions?
If you were to believe
the street druggies,
which I generally
do not, the rumor is
that it's the biggest shipment
this city has ever seen.
Over a ton.
Of course, how
they're gonna pull it off,
I don't have any idea.
Walker... No, get back to work.
Monster, Monster Man!
Come on back here, kids,
and show me your money.
EDWARD: Black dot heroin?
And possibly murder, Edward.
Now will you let
the Texas Rangers
take a look at those files?
What files?
( dramatic theme playing)
Hm.
Files on you, P.K.
Me? What for?
The Texas Rangers think
that you may be involved
in some serious crimes,
and they wanna look
at the consulate records
for your recent activities.
And you're letting them do this?
Why? Do you have
something to hide?
No, of course not.
Check whatever files
you want to check.
We should look at any
shipments authorized
by either P.K. or Laurie Chang.
( tense theme playing)
The files have been deleted.
Now how could
that have happened?
( ominous theme playing)
We found out that
the Black Dragons
have a shipment
of heroin coming in.
Over a ton, but we
don't know where.
Listen to this. We
may have something.
SYDNEY: You know
the two Black Dragons
you guys tangled
with at Laurie Chang's?
Customs and
Immigration traced them
back to the same
village in southeast China.
It turns out they both have
the same American sponsor.
GAGE: China Sea Imports.
Wanna put together a task force?
Hm. Not yet.
Why not?
Well, P.K. and the Black
Dragons are only half the problem.
With a ton of heroin
coming into the city,
you've gotta have
distributors already lined up.
All right, so we wait to bust
them until the heroin arrives,
we get the bad guys, the
goods, and the American contacts.
So, what's our next move?
Let's check out this
China Sea Imports.
( suspenseful theme playing)
My, oh, my, 93 percent pure.
I am impressed, P.K.
Don't be, Dex.
It's always good when the
Black Dragons guarantee it.
(scoffs)
Well, that's a pretty big
promise there, P.K., isn't it?
You calling us liars?
No.
Hey, of course not, man.
Good.
Because the real question is,
how much can you boys handle?
As much as you can provide.
We got distribution
in Dallas, New York,
Chicago, and Los Angeles.
Great.
Well, you're getting a full
ton in less than 24 hours.
You talking tomorrow?
Is there a problem?
No. No problem.
No.
Good.
( suspenseful theme playing)
(lock beeps)
(camera shutter clicking)
You getting pictures
of all of them?
Every single one of them.
You know, who would've
thought that being a photographer
on the yearbook would
ever come in handy?
They're splitting up.
You two follow P.K.
I'm driving.
GAGE: One little accident.
(engine starts)
( suspenseful theme playing)
I wonder who these guys are.
I'll run the check
on the plates.
(keypad beeping)
( suspenseful theme playing)
(phone ringing)
Yeah?
You're being followed, P.K.
By who?
Your friendly
neighborhood Ranger.
What do you want me to do?
Three thousand meters,
there's a gas station. Go there.
We'll take care of the rest.
All right, he's pulling over.
No kidding.
( suspenseful theme playing)
Ah, come on, P.K.,
let's get a move on.
What's the rush?
Oh, I got a tux fitting today.
You got a tux fitting? Yes.
Very good. What time?
Right now. Now?
I guess it's the
thought that counts.
There he is.
(engine starts)
( ominous theme playing)
Hold on.
( dramatic theme playing)
MAN: The Rangers
were trailing you, P.K.
Why?
I don't know, Master Ko,
but there's nothing
to worry about.
Nothing to worry about?
This delivery represents
months of work, millions of dollars.
For your sake, I
hope you're right.
You asked the coroner's
office to keep you posted.
Here.
More black dot heroin.
Killed another
two kids this week.
It's so pure they can't
help but overdose.
You should've seen the
families when they had to come
and identify the bodies.
Such pain.
We all know P.K. Song,
the suspected point man
for the heroin smuggling op.
As far as we can tell,
he's working as a liaison
between a group of Black Dragons
and these guys:
the Warley brothers,
career criminals.
They have ties to
organizations all over the country.
Now, if we can get to them,
maybe we can find out where
and when the shipment's due.
Yeah, but how do we get to them?
Hm.
Trivette?
Yeah?
Go get a copy of the tape of
Alex's conversation with P.K.
and meet me at Forensics.
Why?
I'll tell you when
I meet you there.
So let me get this straight.
Ah, let me think.
He's gonna say, "Let my son go."
You want me to use the
material from the video tape
to make a fake audio
recording of this P.K.'s voice?
Exactly, and we don't even
need it until later this afternoon.
(chuckles)
And we'd like for him to
say something like this.
Can you do it?
How much time do you
have of this guy talking?
About an hour.
An hour?
I think I can give
you what you want.
( suspenseful theme playing)
Cy, baby, listen, I'm telling
you, this Monster Men thing,
the trading cards, I
mean, it's pure gold.
You gotta get into this.
What do you mean
wait? Wait for what?
Make me an offer I can't refuse.
Well...
Oh, no. Oh, man.
What can I say? Not again.
Got a little job for you.
Jeez, damn.
Don't you have anything to do?
Don't you have a mother
to visit or something?
♪ Yeah ♪
( funky rock theme playing)
(patrons chattering)
Bartender, give me a drink.
Seven and seven, and
give my friend here a drink.
Keep them coming, and
don't break the rhythm.
Money is no object.
What do you know?
What do you say?
Say, listen, can I talk
to you a minute, Luke?
Who are you?
Lester. Lester Moody.
My... My friends...
All my friends,
they call me Slick.
What do you want, Lester?
Um...
I have something, you
know, I think you'd be
really interested in.
What?
This tape.
What's on it?
Well, uh, I think we should
talk a little business first.
See, uh, I want 200 bucks.
(clears throat)
I'll tell you what.
I'm gonna listen
to your little tape.
If I like what I hear,
I give you your money.
But if I don't like what I hear,
I'm gonna break every
bone in your body,
Slick.
(tape playing indistinctly)
( suspenseful theme playing)
Whoa! T-Take it
easy! Take it easy!
Shut up! Where the
hell did you get that?
M-My girlfriend works for
the Tarrant County
District Attorney's Office.
It's the same office that
the Assistant District Attorney
Alex Cahill works in.
Keep talking, pal.
So my girlfriend takes a walk
down the hall to get a
cup of coffee and she...
She overhears the Cahill
broad listening to the...
Shh. (whispers): To the tape.
Yeah, yeah. That
tape right there?
Yes, sir.
So when my girlfriend
told me, I mean, I...
I knew that you and your brother
would wanna know the story so,
I mean, this is a
big concern to you.
To you, your brother.
T-Ton of heroin and...
And a whole bunch
of Black Drag Queens.
It's Dragons, idiot.
Yeah, well, whatever.
Uh, so, Luke, is...
Is it worth the 200...
Two hundred bucks?
Yeah.
You beat it.
( suspenseful theme playing)
SYDNEY: There's the
signal. Luke bought it.
(phone dialing)
Yeah, Trivette, it's Gage.
Shelby just dropped
off the tape with Luke.
Are you picking up a
signal from the bug?
(beeping)
Yeah, we got it.
All right, stay with Luke.
Keep in touch.
Shelby just passed
the audio tape to Luke.
Okay, put the task
force on full alert.
( dramatic theme playing)
Walker,
I think you're gonna
wanna hear this.
( suspenseful theme playing)
(truck beeping)
(all chattering)
(engine starts)
MAN: Hold on there.
What's the problem?
Uh, truck's not on the list.
What do you mean
it's not on the list?
We're with the consulate.
It's always on the list.
Not today it's not.
Someone must've
called in and removed it.
Do you know who I am?
No.
(laughs)
Well, for the sake of your
job, I think you ought to
recheck that list
with your supervisor.
Fine, mister.
(grunts)
( suspenseful theme playing)
Well, let's go.
(tires squealing)
( suspenseful theme playing)
(beeping)
Okay, here they come.
( suspenseful theme playing)
P.K. erased his computer records
at the consulate,
but not the paper hard copies.
This shipping invoice
says he's supposed to be here.
Maybe he was.
Oh, my God.
(cell phone ringing)
Yeah, Trivette.
It's Gage. We got the
Warleys on the move.
Stay on them.
We'll call from the
road. You got it.
Sydney and Gage are
tracking the Warleys right now.
Call it in, Alex.
Alex,
do you think my son
could have done this?
I think you know the answer
to that question, Edward.
( dramatic theme playing)
(all chattering)
It's here.
You, uh...
make the arrangements
with the Americans?
You see, I told you there
wasn't gonna be any problem.
( suspenseful theme playing)
MAN: Hey, they expecting you?
I wonder whose place this is.
I'll check it out.
P.K.: Hey, what's the matter?
We got a problem.
MASTER KO: What kind of problem?
P.K. (on tape): Walker, the deal's
going down at the end of the week.
What is this?
The Black Dragons, the heroin.
My father and I
have it all set up.
Trust me, Walker.
These guys won't know
what's hit them until it's too late.
This is fake. I never said that.
What do you think
we are, idiots?
( dramatic theme playing)
( suspenseful theme playing)
(groans)
P.K. wouldn't say
things like that.
He wouldn't betray
the Black Dragons
because he knows
the consequences.
This tape's a fake.
Where'd you get it?
Aah! Okay, man.
Some guy in a bar, okay?
(siren wailing) Fools,
you've been set up!
TRIVETTE (outside):
Texas Rangers!
( dramatic theme playing)
(grunts)
(groans)
(groans)
( dramatic theme playing)
( tense theme playing)
(gun cocks)
You and I have a little
unfinished business.
Huh?
(groans)
You must be the head
of the Black Dragons.
That's right, Ranger,
but you're not taking me alive.
Not this lifetime.
Let's see about that.
( dramatic theme playing)
Come on, cop.
(both grunting)
( action theme playing)
(both grunting)
Whoa, hold on, hold on, hold on.
All right, turn around.
Put your hands behind your head
and interlock your fingers.

Don't you feel any remorse
for the kids who died
because of what you did?
Remorse?
(laughs)
I didn't force those
kids to take drugs.
No. You just gave
them the opportunity.
I'm really getting tired of
discussing this with you.
Now will you contact my father
so I can get out of here?
( suspenseful theme playing)
I am so ashamed.
I'm sorry, Edward.
I can no longer protect
my son's actions.
He must pay for
what he has done.
You're going to
revoke his immunity?
Yes.
I will sign whatever
you need me to sign.
(door closes)
I don't understand it, Walker.
Edward loves his son so much.
How could he go so wrong?
Sometimes the love of a parent
isn't enough to overcome
bad influences, Alex.
( suspenseful theme playing)
ALEX: Well, it's official.
Edward's exchange
kids are on the plane.
Next stop Beijing.
It's going to be the
experience of a lifetime.
I wish they'd had a program
like that when I was a kid.
Well, you know, even
if they had, Trivette,
it would've taken
like three months
for the ship to get to China.
Ship?
Did they have planes
when you were a kid?
(all laugh)
GAGE: Hi, guys.
Hi. Hi.
Hey, how did your fitting go?
Oh, I didn't make it.
ALEX & SYDNEY:
You didn't make it?
I had some stuff I had to do.
Stuff? What kind of
stuff? What do you mean?
Well, I had to work
out, I had just stuff.
Gage. A lot of
stuff I had to do.
Syd, relax, it's...
Got plenty of time for this.
Well, have you guys
gotten your tux yet?
No.
What?
No, me, either.
What?
See?
You know what? They
just can't help themselves.
They're men.
And?
Yeah. What?
What is that supposed to mean?
Gage, what they're
trying to say is that
men are from Mars.
TRIVETTE: Women are from Venus.
Oh, please.
Oh, I got you. All right.
