Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 8, Episode 6 - The Lynn Sisters - full transcript

♪ Say now darling ♪

♪ I haven't seen
you Here before ♪

♪ I've been sitting here
Waiting for something to ♪

♪ Come through the door ♪

♪ Someone to watch life go by ♪

You know what? This
is gonna surprise you...

but I actually like what
you got on the radio today.

Really? Yeah, man.

It's not that stuff you normally
have us listening to. It's...

Stuff? What do you mean, stuff?

Well, t-the Texas
stuff. You know.

Texas stuff? Yeah, man.

Don't get so defensive.
I'm just... It's...

I mean, it's different.
It's refreshing.

Good. Refreshing.

Yeah.

That was Lone-Star Son of Texas.

Oh, so you knew
he was from Texas.

Yep.

Probably a relative
of yours. Nope.

Hey, head's up.

There he is. Let's go.

Texas Rangers.

Freeze. MAN: Come on. Move.

Harry.

Get back here.

Oh, Harry.

The Lynn Sisters?

No registration and
no serial numbers.

These discs are pirated.

Hey, I am a music producer.

I don't bootleg discs. Really?

I wonder what this is.

But you sell the master
discs to pirates who do.

I'm confused here, Harry.

Does that make you feel good,

stealing from your clients
to make an extra buck?

Who's your contact, Harry?

I got contacted with
an anonymous letter.

Twenty Gs for each
master disc I bring in.

Drop it here, I get an
envelope with money.

That's it.

So it sounds like you
should be getting paid today.

Normally, yes,

but since you all showed, uh,
odds are the people who pay me

won't be coming around.

Let's go.

You're upset.

I understand. Don't be.

All I'm saying is,
there's a little hitch,

we need an extension.
Nothing more.

Nothing more?

Boys, let us remember it is
you who brought this deal to me.

We did.

I agreed to your terms

only because you
promised me a swift turnover.

I know.

And to ensure that turnover,

I advanced you
two million dollars.

All right, Kahn, spare
us the recap, okay?

The bottom line is, still,
when this deal goes through,

you triple your money. Now,
that's a 300 percent profit,

and if I were you, that's
what I'd be focusing on.

That's too bad.

Because by this week's end

I will either get the million
CDs I contracted for,

or my two million
dollars back, with interest,

or I will see you both dead.

If I were you, that's
what I'd be focusing on.

Yes, Helen?

Uh, nothing. Just...

All right, Kahn wants
the Lynn Sisters, fine.

We'll give them to him.

How?

They're in town
this week for a show.

So?

So we kidnap them.

♪ In the eyes of a Ranger ♪

♪ The unsuspecting stranger ♪

♪ Had better know the truth ♪

♪ 'Cause the eyes

♪ Are upon you ♪

♪ Any wrong you
do He's gonna see ♪

♪ When you're in
Texas Look behind you ♪

♪ 'Cause that's where
The Ranger's gonna be ♪

This was a big bust, partner.

Do you realize how much
these CDs are worth, man?

Ten million. Ten million...

Yeah. Ten million dollars.

It's amazing to me how
much value people put

in this kind of music.

Say what?

I said it's amazing to me

how much value people
put in this kind of music.

What kind of music
are you talking about?

Popular music.

Fake music.

I mean, everybody knows

that bands are touching
everything up nowadays.

The technology...

can make a bullfrog
sound like Billie Holiday.

I'd be surprised
if the Lynn Sisters

even sing on their own album.

Well, why don't you ask
them? Well, why don't I

just call them right up?

You don't have to.
They're behind you.

They are not.

Oh, my God.

Cordell, I want you
and Jimmy to say hello

to an old friend of mine, Frank.

And also say hello to the
Lynn Sisters, Peggy and Patsy.

Hi. Nice to meet you. Hi. Hi.

How are you doing?

So what brings you
folks down here?

Well, Frank and I were
in the service together.

Since then he's evolved
into a top music manager.

And I just wanna say
thanks to you Rangers

for busting up that
piracy ring yesterday.

Well, we all do.

And putting a stop
to our producer.

No, no. That's our
former producer.

Yeah, that Harry,
he was slipperier

than a pocket full of custard.

And guess what?

To show their appreciation,

the Lynns have offered to
do a benefit for the Center

at C.D.'s on Monday night.

We thought it was a perfect
ending to our tour across Texas.

What do you think
about that, Cordell?

They're gonna be playing
and singing in my bar and grill.

Well, sounds great, C.D.

Yeah, it's better than great.

Trivette, didn't you have a
question for the Lynn Sisters?

No. Oh, yes, you did.

Come on now. You can ask us.

We ain't gonna bite you.

I was just hoping...

that you might send me
an autographed picture.

Absolutely. Music
pirates cheat the fans

just like they
cheat the artists,

and you guys are doing
something to put a stop to that.

Thank you, thank
you. You're welcome.

You're welcome too.

So are you.

See you later, Helen.

Is everything all right, sirs?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Uh, Ringo and I,
we're just gonna

take a little
vacation for a week.

A vacation?

Yeah. You know, I'm sorry.

I should've told you.

Nothing but half days and
full pay for you for a week.

Well, thank you.

Eh, you're welcome.

Oh, yeah, um, make
sure to feed the fish.

Of course.

Have a good week, Helen.

Yeah, Helen. A killer week.

Brock. Gentlemen.

So you sure you
can pull this off?

Hey, if the money's
right, I can do anything.

We need 'em in 24 hours.

You'll have them in 12.

Good.

That'll give us some
time to tie up loose ends.

Oh, the fish.

♪ It hurts me ♪

We're on our way.

We got 'em.

The next level of
our piracy operation.

Your hunch was right, Walker.

We cross-checked
the serial numbers

on the confiscated discs
with numbers on blank discs

ordered by local dub houses.

That, plus a little chat
with producer Harry

gave us the name and address

for the source of
the bootlegged discs.

It's a studio down in Deep
Ellum called Smoking Dubs.

Good job, people.

Go check it out. Right.

Come on, let's go.
Leave nothing but dust.

Going somewhere, guys?

Wait a minute. Nicky?

Oh, man.

You know this guy?

Looks like we've run
across an old snitch of mine.

How you doing, Nicky?

Thought you went clean.

Yeah, well, clean
wasn't paying the bills.

That's too bad because you just
got bumped down to prison wages.

Who you working for, Nicky?

Man, I... I don't know.

Hmm. I don't believe you, Nicky.

Well, then you should
talk to my lawyer.

I got a better idea.

How about you tell us
who you're working for,

or I'm gonna put
the word on the street

that you're a rat who
tells everything to the law.

Ouch.

You know, Nicky,
rats don't last long,

especially in prison.

Man, you wouldn't... Okay.

Look. We all got paid by
this guy at Burning Records.

Downtown. He set
the whole thing up.

Burning Records.

Go there, you'll find
your man. Okay?

I'll radio Walker.

All right. Come on.

When they named it Burning
Records, they weren't kidding.

Yeah.

Walker. Hello, Pete.

Trivette. Pete.

Since when did Rangers
start working arson?

Since we're on a case.

What happened here?

Some kind of a fire bomb

blew out the entire
suite of offices up there

and they're bringing
the remains down now.

Remains?

You know who it is?

It's, uh, it's tough to say.

It may be the secretary.

Absolutely beautiful.

Truth be told, I could
listen to you girls sing

from here to forever.

Now that's the
kind of fans we like.

This is Bushmaster.
I'm in position.

Position confirmed.

Bushmaster, you'll
have visual contact

in five, four, three, two, one.

Visual confirmed.

Roger. Hit it.

I'll take care of it.

Hey, get away. Get away.

All right, move it.

Let's go. Get them out of here.

All right, put the bodies in
the bus, then dump it. Let's go.

Stephan and Ringo Washburn.

These two brothers are as
bad as they come, Walker.

Stephan's the
brains, pulls in money

from a combination of
legal and illegal sources,

and Ringo's the muscle.

Says he was 18 when he
was expelled from school

for running a drug ring.

Last seen,

they controlled a
high-volume extortion racket

in Nashville, fronting
as record producers.

At least, they did until a
murder was traced to them.

Charges didn't stick.

They both disappeared
a week later.

No trace of them, huh?

No. Bank accounts closed,

associates and
employees disappeared,

and the building
burnt to the ground.

Sounds familiar.

These boys just keep
getting worse all the time.

Yeah.

There's something wrong, fellas.

Frank was supposed to call me

just as soon as he
got to San Antonio

and I haven't heard a damn word.

Have you tried calling him?

I called the hotel twice.

They haven't even
checked in yet, Cordell.

There's something wrong.

We'll check into it, C.D.

Good.

Welcome, ladies.

Well, now,

we know you're probably
a little upset by all of this,

but, uh, my brother, Ringo,
and I would just like you

to rest assured you have
nothing to worry about.

We've simply taken
you on, as artists.

Yeah.

What does that mean,
you've taken us on as artists?

Just what it sounds like.

We want you to do a
little recording for us.

A recording?

And a music video too.

And what if we say no?

You don't wanna go there.

Three hours of searching

every highway, byway,
and back road, and nothing.

Well, they gotta be
down there someplace.

A bus just can't
disappear into thin air.

Gage, what's that? Where?

Down there by the building.

Take us down.

No, we appreciate it. Thanks.

Okay. Thanks, Jim.

I don't get it.

No sign of the band
or crew in six hours

and nobody's
picking up the phones.

Yeah, and D.P.S. hasn't
spotted the bus, either.

Doesn't make sense. Mm-mm.

Walker.

Okay.

Gage and Sydney spotted the bus.

They're sending the
chopper to pick us up.

They're all inside, Walker.

Dead.

The girls? No, they're not here.

Looks like the bus flatted
out up on the main highway.

Front tire was
maybe spiked or shot.

Then they were ambushed.

The bodies were
tossed inside the bus

and the bus was towed
up the fire trail to here.

Prints?

No, nothing.

No shells, no
fiber traces, either.

These guys were pros.

Yeah, well, one
of the pros lost this.

This little earring

can be found in over 50
places in Dallas alone, partner.

What about this one?

Thirty-eight Special Bar.

It's a trademark for the bar.

Yeah.

Let's check it out.

Call Gage and Sydney
to meet us there.

My kind of place.

Yeah.

Gives a whole new meaning
to the term hole in the wall.

Now, either that
guy lost an earring,

or he just had a
run-in with Mike Tyson.

Only one way to find out.

Texas Rangers.

All right, you take the front
door, I'll take the side door.

Stay there. Cover
the front. I'm going in.

Shh.

Syd, I told you
to cover the front.

There are no bad guys out front.

That's right. We're here.

Any comments before you die?

Yeah.

I'd like to stick this
gun up your nose

and clean out your
sinuses for you.

Any other helpful comments?

Just three words.

Walker and Trivette.

I do have one more comment.

You're under arrest.

Oh, yeah. This is even
better than I thought, bro.

Yeah, well, just don't
get too attached, all right?

The only way we're
gonna get Kahn

to pay top dollar
for this CD and video

is if it's the Lynns'
last one, ever.

Yeah, I know.

Still, I can appreciate
the talent while it's alive.

Well, I guess we shouldn't work
our talent to death then, huh?

They're getting tired.

Cut.

Okay, we're gonna stop taping.

Give you two a beauty rest.

Isn't that just
real kind of y'all?

Enough, all right?
Get 'em upstairs.

Lights out, and alone.

We need you both
fresh for tomorrow.

Oh, would you stop?

You're wasting your time.

Sit down.

You think so, Brock?

Listen.

You can't promise me
anything I can't live without,

and you can't threaten
me with anything

I haven't lived through already.

So you got nada. Nothing.

Is that a fact?

What are you doing?

They're not gonna
let us go, Patsy.

Not with what we've seen.

We've got to get out of here.

There's guards
everywhere, Peggy.

Do you have any better
ideas? I don't know.

Think of something.
You think of something.

I don't know what to do here.

We sing.

What?

We sing.

Not the way they want us to.

For them to get their recording,

we have to keep singing.

Just until help arrives.

We use our artistic license.

Our artistic license?

We stall.

We've been at this
all night, Ranger.

Give it up.

Look, I've told you,
you're wasting your time.

You are tough, Brock.

I'll give you that.

You're not only tough,

you're a mercenary and
you're wanted all over the world.

It's amazing how many
nations are already asking us

to turn you over
to them for trial.

Looks like they all want
you dead, or worse, Brock.

Wouldn't surprise me.

But since I'm an American,

I'm still protected
by this nation's law.

I guess the world's gonna
have to do without me.

Did you ever do any work
in Afghanistan, Brock?

What's that got to
do with anything?

Well, their government
has requested for us

to turn you over
to them for trial.

That must've broken your hearts
when you had to tell them no.

Actually, I was able to convince

the State Department
to agree to it.

You're bluffing.

You wanna bet your life on it?

You can call our
bluff, and that's fine,

but the minute we
walk out this door,

the negotiations are over.

Oh, you know how they
execute people over there,

don't you, Brock?

Wait. Wait.

Stephan and Ringo are holed
up at a compound near Jacksboro.

Walker's waiting at the chopper.

Tell me you have what I want.

Uh, sorry, Kahn, we don't.

You don't?

How unfortunate.

Not really.

See, what we
have is even better.

Peggy and Patsy Lynn.

They're there? Yeah,
alive and in person,

and I guarantee you
they're not going anywhere.

Interested?

Yes, very.

Good. Then their
original CD and video

are gonna cost you double.

Oh, and, Kahn, you know what?

Make sure you're ready
to pay when you get here.

Stephan, it will be my pleasure.

I'm sorry.

Cut.

This is the fifth time y'all
have messed up here.

What's going on?

Well, there's nothing going on.

Don't lie to us.
We're not lying.

Really? Really.

You know, tell me.

How long does it take for
you to normally do a recording?

Well, as long as it
takes to get it right.

Or as long as it takes to
feel good about the songs.

Hmm, really?

You know, that's funny,

because I thought that
it was as long as it takes

for you two to get
yourselves out of here.

What? Yeah.

They've been stalling, Ringo.

Playing with us. No, we haven't.

Yes, you have,
and you know what?

Let me tell you something.

Playtime is over.

What the hell is this, bro?

I have no idea.

Here's the money.
Where are the girls?

Well, you arrived
just in time, Kahn.

The girls are just
about to finish recording.

Excellent.

You see, I've come up
with the perfect ending

for the production.

Time for your swan song, ladies.

Don't worry.

I'll be rolling, no matter what.

You're a sick man, Kahn.

With a million video units

I can sell at a 100
American dollars each,

I'm a rich, sick man.

We've got to think of something.
