Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 8, Episode 7 - Suspicious Minds - full transcript

Georgie. Hey.

How you holding up? Good,

but I gotta admit,

I can't wait for
this to be over.

Yeah, you've been
undercover for a long time.

Fourteen months,

but by next week we'll
have everything we need

to put Sonny Tantero
away for good.

What do you got for us?

Tantero crime syndicate

has begun shipping
drugs across the border,

packing classic cars
with cocaine and heroin,

drivin' 'em straight to Dallas.

Classic cars?

They've got a big shipment
coming in this afternoon

to a warehouse in Deep Ellum.

You got an address?

Forty-two forty-seven
Commerce Street.

Texas Rangers.

Nobody move.

Don't move.

Don't move.

Can we make it out the back?

I don't know, man. Check it out.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

An Elvis Presley Convention
right here in the Metroplex.

Yep, First Annual Lone
Star Tribute to the King.

First prize is 10,000 dollars
and an appearance contract

at the new Elvis World Hotel
and Casino in Las Vegas.

Oh.

Elvis World Hotel and
Casino right there in Vegas.

Yeah. My goodness.

Yep, at the Elvis World
you don't hit the jack-pot,

you hit the King-pot.

You must be so excited.
Yeah, I sure am, Alex.

I really am, but it's
gonna be tough though.

I mean, some of the
best Elvis' in the country

are gonna be competing.

No, you don't have
to worry about that.

You do what you
did here tonight,

shine up your blue suede shoes,

those fellas won't
have a chance in hell.

That's right. That's a fact.

I'll do my very best.

"Hound Dog," hands down.

No, no, no. Come on.

"Blue Suede Shoes"
walks all over "Hound Dog."

Gage. What?

That's so disappointing. Oh...

We'll ask Sydney. Fine.

Ask Sydney what?

What is the best
Elvis song ever?

Elvis? Yeah.

Oh, that's easy.

"In the Ghetto."

In the Ghetto? What?

Sydney, sometimes
I worry about you.

Whatever.

Whatever?

Wow.

Very good.

Where'd you learn to sign?

Oh, Alex and I
took some classes.

I'm not very good at it.

Oh, you're doin' fine.

Besides, just the fact that
you're trying to talk to Melissa

in her language means
so much. Oh, thanks.

Whoa.

What's the sign for a ringer?

Looks like we have a
problem, gentlemen.

The security on that drug
delivery was top shelf.

There's no way the Rangers
could've known about it.

Not unless they had
inside information.

What?

You mean we got a rat?

Yeah.

I want him found,

and when we find
him, I want him dead.

I'll tell you, Alex, your Elvis
friends are gonna love this.

And here they are, the
official, unabridged version

of the C.D. Parker
tour of the Metroplex.

Well, you know, C.D.,

Helen is one of
my oldest friends

and this is their first
trip to the Metroplex,

so I was kind of
looking for some more

traditional ideas. Traditional?

You can't get more
traditional than these cards.

Guaranteed to
please any Elvis fan.

All you've got to do is
take them to the place

and read the card.

Okay, let's see.

The Fort Worth Stockyards.

Okay, it's a good start.

There's a lot of history
in the Stockyards.

On this spot in March of 1993.

Ahem. That could've been 83.

Texas Ranger, C.D. Parker

single handedly took down
the notorious Larsen Gang.

Not wanting to use his gun

for fear of harming a group
of nearby school children,

Ranger Parker relied
on his cowboy ways

to lasso the Larsen
boys and hog tie

the bunch of varmints
until help arrived.

C.D., this is, uh... Gold.

Pure gold.

Elvis.

Elvis Presley. You're
related to Elvis Presley.

That's right. Oh, yeah.

You are not.

Okay, then I'm not.

How are you related
to Elvis Presley?

Well, Elvis' great-great
grandmother

was Cherokee,

and her name was...
Morning White Dove.

Everybody knows that.

Well, Morning White Dove

was the half sister

of Gray Wolf Firewalker.

That's your
great-great-great grandfather.

Right.

Wow.

Well, how come you
never told me that before?

Because you never asked me.

Well, how was I
supposed to know?

Well, I was going to tell you,

but I didn't want to brag.

Oh.

Georgie.

Sonny's getting pretty hot.

The bust at the
warehouse really threw him.

He knows the information had
to come from inside his operation.

How's your cover? I'm okay.

Sonny knows there's a
snake in the woodpile,

but he doesn't know who.

Maybe it's time you pulled out.

Ranger Walker, normally
Sonny's real smart

about not gettin'
his own hands dirty,

but next week there's
a face-to-face meeting

with some representative

of the Vintana drug
cartel out of Colombia.

If we bust Sonny at the meeting,

we cannot only put him
away for a good long time,

we got a chance to shut
down one of the major pipelines

of illegal drugs
comin' into the States.

Just let me wait till then.

All right, against
my better judgment.

Thanks.

So what do you got?

Big guns for cash deal
goin' down on at a factory

on the edge of town.

Maybe we should pass on this one

and wait for Sonny's
meeting with the cartel.

Walker, I'm in tight with Sonny.

There's no way he'd suspect me,

and if we don't make that bust,

those guns are gonna
wind up on the street.

All right. Watch yourself.

Great.

Deal's gonna take place

near downtown on
the west side of 35.

Well, I thought we'd start
right here in Fort Worth

and then maybe we'll head
over to Dallas for lunch.

Oh, that sounds great.

- It's Elvis.
- Look.

Elvis, can you take
picture with me?

Why, you sure
can, little darlin'.

Here, let me.

Okay, say one,
two, three, Elvis.

Elvis.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

You're very welcome.

Oh. We'll see.

She wants to know if we're
gonna see any real cowboys later.

You bet we will. Come on.

Okay, on this spot
in August of 1978,

Texas Ranger C.D. Parker

single-handedly stopped
a stampeded of angry cattle

with nothing more
than a handful of hay

and a charming smile.

Well, that C.D.
sure is a character.

Oh, yeah.

All right,

we got 350 per, or
three large for a case,

and with the holidays coming up

these babies make a
wonderful Christmas present.

Yeah, every boy's dream.

What do you say 7500
for the three cases?

How 'bout 10 or
15 in the State Pen?

Hey, going the wrong direction.

Johnny Boy, you gotta wake up.

We got you, all right?

Illegal weapons, intent to sell,

resisting arrest.

There's something else.

Attempted murder
on a peace officer.

Attempted mur...?
Are you guys nuts?

No. Javier pulled the trigger,

but the act was committed
during the commission of a felony.

Oh... A felony involving you,

so in the eyes of the law, pal,

you're just as guilty.

All right, what do you want?

Sonny Tantero.

Sonny Tantero?

I don't do business
with that whack job.

I got these guns
from Big Joe McArthur.

Oh, my God.

It was a set up.

Georgie? Georgie's the rat?

Yeah.

You sure? Yeah, I'm sure.

I planted a different story
with two of the top guys.

The Rangers only
bit on one of 'em.

Georgie's. Yeah.

I trusted him like a brother.

So what do we do?

You have him meet you
at the construction site.

You know what to do.

Remember, he's a cop.

I don't want that
body turnin' up.

You understand?

Yeah, I understand.

Dealey Plaza.

Hey, this is where JFK was shot.

And it also happens
to be where C.D. Parker

single-handedly took out the
Melrose Park Jewel Thieves

using only a shoelace
and some bubble gum.

No, we'll be right here.

Nothin' on his cell
phone. I paged him twice.

Surveillance said
Tantero hasn't seen him

since yesterday afternoon.

What do we do?

Put out an APB.
Officer in trouble.

I want everyone out
there lookin' for him.

Right. Got it.

Okay, I'll go with you.

I know you're a big girl.

Helen.

Okay.

Do you know where it is?

Okay.

Don't forget to wash your hands.

It must be really hard.

Yeah, I get a little worried.

Uh, terrified.

But we are trying to let her
be a little more independent.

That's why this
convention is so important.

With the prize
money we can enroll

Melissa in a special school.

They're making such
amazing progress these days.

Well, I had no idea
that Elvis mania

was still so big.

Are you kidding? It is huge.

There are performers
and conventions

all across the country.

I think a lot of it goes back

to a much more innocent time.

I mean, when Elvis
was first on TV,

they could only shoot
him from the waist up.

Now you've got Dennis Franz

showing his whole
naked rear end.

But it's also... It's
about the music.

Elvis sang about love.
Today's music is about lust.

And I just sounded
like my mother.

Yes, you did.

Hey, Georgie.

Hey, guys.

So what's the big
news that couldn't wait?

You know that rat
Sonny's been lookin' for?

Yeah.

Looks like he found him.

She's not there.

What do you mean
she's not there?

Where did she go? I don't know.

Now, we all just
have to stay calm.

She probably just wandered off.

You guys are
makin' a big mistake.

No, you're the one
that made a mistake.

Sonny trusted you.

He thought of
you like a brother,

till he found out you
were a lousy cop.

Rico.

Let's go get her.

We'll throw her in
the hole with the cop.

There she is.

Let's get outta here.

Okay. Calm down.

Calm down.

A man was shot?

It's okay, honey. Oh, God.

It's okay. It's all right.

Since we know that Sonny
Tantero had Georgie killed,

why don't we pull him in
and squeeze him till it hurts?

There's nothing I'd like better,

but his lawyers would
have him out in 20 minutes.

How's Melissa?

She's pretty shaken up.

Poor kid.

You can't catch a
kid? What is that, hard?

We went after her, but
she ran across the lot

and she was rescued by Elvis.

Elvis? What are you
talkin' about, Elvis?

You know, Elvis. Presley.

I mean, not the Elvis Presley.

One of those impenetrators.

You mean impersonator.
Is that what you mean?

What'd I say?

Look, boss, you got
nothin' to worry about.

I got nothin' to worry?
You left a witness, moron.

No, she-she-she was just a kid

and she was slow or somethin'.

What do you mean,
slow? What's-what's slow?

She was just standin'
there and starin'.

There was definitely
somethin' off about her.

I mean, trust me on this.

She ain't gonna be
no help to nobody.

You'd better be right.

I mean, we know it's
Sonny Tantero, right?

Yeah, we know it.
Now we gotta prove it.

She says that's him. That's
the man who pulled the trigger.

Is she sure?

Melissa, are you sure?

What'd she say?

She said she's deaf, not blind.

Okay, thanks.

Melissa, good work.

Thank you.

Okay, thanks.

Rico Castillo.

Ah, I should've known.
You know this guy?

Yeah. Georgie said that
he's Sonny's number two man.

Assault and battery,
assault with a deadly weapon,

attempted murder,
extortion, arson.

Full service criminal
nightmare, folks.

Can you get us
an arrest warrant?

With those priors
and a positive ID?

Absolutely.

All right.

The cartel can ship in
about 150 keys a week.

Yeah, what is it?

Yeah, Mr. Tantero,

we got two Rangers
out here at the front door.

They say they're
lookin' for Rico.

All right, tell 'em
he's not here.

Nothin' to worry about,
is that what you said?

Yeah, I'm gonna
take care of this.

No, forget it.
Just... Just forget it.

You use the service exit.

You go to the safe house.
You wait for instructions.

I'll take care of it.
It's all right. Go on.

It's okay. It's
all right. Go on.

Yeah, sorry. Rico doesn't
seem to be here right now.

I think he's on vacation.

Yeah, it's me. Rico's
on his way now.

When he gets
there, you kill him.

Better go around back.

Rico Castillo?

Texas Rangers. You
wanna step over here?

Come on.

You're not hurt. Let's go.

Come on.

Let's get in closer.

All right, gentlemen, all
the way down to the end.

Step up. Let's go.

Keep movin'.

Right. You right there.

All right, step forward.

Do you know who it is?

Four?

Four? Are you sure?

I want you two
to stay with them.

Okay.

You guys ready?
Everything's set.

You killed a cop, Rico,
and you're gonna pay for it.

Oh, geez, you're scarin' me.

Look, counselor, I don't...

We've got you dead to rights.

You got nothin'. We've
got an eye witness

and you're goin' down.

The only question now is
whether it's gonna be life without

or lethal injection.

The choice is
completely up to you.

All right. This meeting
is ov... Shut up.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about

givin' up Sonny
Tantero and you'll live.

You'll spend the rest
of your life behind bars,

but at least you'll
have a life to spend.

On the other hand, if
you don't give up Sonny...

I ain't givin' you nothin'.

No deals, counselor.

See you in court.

You know something?

I was kind of hopin'
you'd say that.

Harv, maybe she's got a point.

Rico, you keep your mouth shut.

We'll work somethin' out.

Work somethin' out? Like what?

You heard her. She's
willin' to talk deal.

You give up Sonny
Tantero, you're a dead man.

Hey, Harv, wake up.

I'm already a dead man.

I keep my mouth shut, I
go down for capital murder.

That's a needle, Harv,

and I ain't talkin' novocaine.

All right,

their whole case
is that little girl.

Without her, they got nothin'.

See, a lot of folks think
that these conventions

are just about the performers,

but there's really
a lot more to them.

For example, at 3:00
this guest speaker

is a waitress who actually
served Elvis breakfast

in a diner near Waco.

And at 4:00 there's an
Elvis Martial Arts class

in the West Ballroom.

Now, that I'd like to see.

And tomorrow they're judging
the best Priscilla bouffant.

And what is this here at 4?

The King is out there?

There's a group of
people that believe

that Elvis didn't really die.

Uh-huh.

What do they think
happened to him?

They... They think that
Elvis was abducted by aliens.

Oh.

Now, I respect the
way anyone chooses

to relate to the King,

but to me that's a little much.

Sure.

You all ready for lunch?

Ah, yeah, yeah.

The last time we
met with Georgie

he said that Sonny was
having a face-to-face meeting

with the Vintana Cartel.

Yeah, he said they
were coming in this week.

Yeah.

Also contact the FAA,
have them notify us

of any private
aircraft coming in

from Central or
South America as well,

for the next three days.

We're gonna need
some search warrants.

I'll get the paperwork started.

As soon as you have
addresses, we'll be ready to go.

Okay.

Well, I've arranged
everything for your visit.

I look forward to seeing you.

Well, actually, Señor Tantero,

I'm afraid I have some concerns

about my visit.

Concerns? What concerns?

Word has gotten back to us

that your organization
is presently experiencing

some difficulties.

Look, Victor, I'm
not gonna lie to you.

There has been, uh, as you say,

some difficulties
here and there,

but there's really
nothin' to worry about.

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

I would hate to have
anything jeopardize

our long and
profitable relationship.

So would I,

so there's nothin'
to worry about.

Now, the difficulties
that you talk about,

they're being taken care of,

even as we speak.

Hey, get down.

- Everybody okay?
- Yeah, everybody's okay.

Yes, we're all right.
- We're okay.

The FAA is laying
down a radar blanket

over the entire southern border.

That's Tijuana to Florida,

so if so much as an
unaccounted-for humming bird

heads in this direction,
we're gonna know about it.

Walker.

Where are you?

Okay, stay at the safe house.

Sonny Tantero

made an attempt
on Melissa's life.

Is she all right?

Yeah. Gage and Sydney
took out the shooters.

The Rangers just took
out Danny and Chico.

Took out? What do you mean?

They're dead? Yeah.

What do we do now?

I got an idea.

We are concerned
about Melissa's safety.

And whether or not I
should compete tomorrow?

I understand your
concerns, but we're gonna be

with you the whole time.

Yeah, but still, if my
competing in the contest

is gonna put Melissa's
safety in jeopardy...

This contest is important
to your entire family, right?

Yes, it is.

Well, don't let Sonny Tantero
take that away from you.

We promise, we will not let
anything happen to Melissa.

She'll be fine.

All right.

You get 50,000 now,

and another 50,000
when you take her out.

It's all there.
You can count it.

Hey, I made the final cut.

There's only three of us left.

Oh, honey. Congratulations.

I'm so proud of you.

Oh, come here.

It's all gonna come
down to the final number.

You know, I still think that
you should sing "In the Ghetto."

What are you talkin' about?

Yeah, okay.

Okay, we got a
private jet reputed

to belong to the
Vintana drug cartel.

Just passed into American
air space 15 minutes ago.

Can you get a flight plan?

Yeah. It left
Bogota this morning,

stopped in Mexico to refuel,

due to touch down at Addison
Airfield 2:00 this afternoon.

Hi, Victor.

How you doin'?
How was your flight?

Good.

Come on. Let me
show you the club.

Girls waiting for
me already, huh?

I'm gonna call Alex, give
her a location for the warrants.

Okay.

She's gonna love this.

Like I said, everything in
Dallas is fine, huh, Victor?

Hope you guys are having fun.

This is gonna be your last
party for a long time, guys.

Get him!

Come on, come on, now.

This is for Georgie.

I just got the word.

Not only did you guys
take down Sonny Tantero,

but the Colombians
are cooperating

with the Federal officials
both here and in Bogota.

Hey, that's good. Yeah.

All right. That is good news.

Good news about Tony too.

Yeah.

Tony won the competition?

He sure did. The judges said

it was a little close where
the singing was concerned,

but when he took the
flying side kick off the stage,

it pretty much put
him over the top.

Yeah, I did look pretty
good in that Elvis suit too.

I think maybe next
year I'm gonna compete.

In the Elvis competition?
Yeah, why not?

Well, because you can't sing?

Can't sing? Please.

I don't know.

I think he can sing.

Yeah, thank you,
Trivette. I appreciate that.

C.D., is the karaoke
still working?

Oh, yeah, yeah, and it's
cued up to an Elvis song too.

There you go, Gage.

Come on. This is

Show us what you got.
