Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 9, Episode 11 - Golden Boy - full transcript
( heavy dance music blaring)
( girl laughing)
BOY: Wow, I'm
really tripping out.
Incredible!
Here, have another Angel's Kiss.
( horn blaring)
( screaming)
Come on!
( bell dings)
All right, that's it.
ANNOUNCER: That's the end
of round two of the Young Glove
city semi-final match.
You're doing good.
Keep using that jab.
I think Juan's winning.
Juan's a winner
whether he wins
or loses tonight.
Ever since Ranger Walker
took him under his
wing, he's a different kid.
He doesn't hang out
with those gang members anymore,
and he's planning
on going to college.
( both laughing)
Okay, last round.
Listen up.
When he throws
a right, go under it
and follow up with a
left hook, okay? Okay.
ANNOUNCER: Round three!
( bell dings)
All right, let's run. Let's go.
Break it up, break it up!
Break it up!
Get back.
Stop. Stop. ( bell dings)
You all right, son? ( cheering)
ANNOUNCER: The winner
by technical knockout,
Juan Guerro!
( laughing)
That was a good fight, Mario.
Not good enough.
Hey, good luck at city
championship, Juan.
I did it, Ranger Walker!
( laughing)
We did it, Mom!
We did it, Mom. Oh...!
Good fight, Mario. Thanks.
( mutters encouragement)
I am so proud of you!
Congratulations, Juan.
Thank you, Mrs. Walker.
( phone ringing) Excuse me.
Hello?
Excuse me.
It's Trivette.
Yeah, Trivette?
Okay. I'll be right there.
Three kids got hit by a train.
( siren blaring)
That's right.
But only one got
out of the way in time.
( siren blaring)
We got a mess here.
Three kids run over by a train.
One of them managed
to jump out of the way in time.
He's all stoned on we
don't know what yet.
All he could tell us
was they'd come
from a rave party.
What have you got?
I don't know.
I'm going to get it checked out.
Okay.
Hey, Pop!
I won!
( mother laughing)
Where you been?
I told you, Luis, I went
to Juan's boxing match.
You left me no dinner.
Oh, yes, I-I left your
dinner in the oven.
Didn't you get my note?
( sighing)
There was no note.
Yes, Pop, it was right...
Shut up, boy! No, si, si, si...
Stay there; I'll show you.
Let me... No!
No, Pop! Please. No.
( speaking Spanish)
Pop, no. No, please, Pop.
( mother screaming in Spanish)
Luis!

TRIVETTE: All right, it's called
Angel's Kiss.
Kids think it's pure
ecstasy, but it's not.
It's ecstasy mixed
with PCP, so instead
of the relaxed sense
of euphoria that's normal
with ecstasy, you pop
one of those puppies,
and you're looking at
becoming delusional.
SYDNEY: Blood tests confirm
that all the teenagers
at the accident were high on it.
Looks like the drug's being
smuggled in from Europe.
Customs seized a
huge shipment of it
at the airport last month.
Does Customs have any
idea where it was going?
Dead end.
Word on the street
is all the action
is being controlled by one guy.
The kids are calling him Angel.
Apparently, he uses students
at various high schools
to sell the stuff to
their classmates,
and they pick up
their fresh supplies
at these underground
rave parties.
TRIVETTE: Gives
good cover... big crowds.
Locations change every week.
Mmm.
Sydney, Gage, find out
where the next rave party is
and check it out. All right.
Here, let me help you.
No, I got it.
What happened to your face?
Mario gave me a tough fight.
You didn't get that in the ring.
You having trouble at home?
No. I'm fine.
You sure?
Never felt better. Come on.
( alarm rings)
Are we feeling
fast today, Danny?
Faster than you.
I don't know, you're
looking kind of slow.
DANNY: Oh, yeah, right.
Come on.
You're going to lose this one.
DANNY: Yeah, right.
JUAN: I can feel it!
You're going to lose. Oh, yeah?!
Ow! You got me again.
Hey, see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow, bud.
BOY: All I remember
is a bright light
was coming at me.
Like the sun.
You didn't even
realize it was a train?
BOY: I wish I had.
I could have gotten
my friends off the track.
How much of this
Angel's Kiss did you take?
I don't remember.
GAGE: Well, the blood tests
indicate you were
high as a kite.
All of you were.
You're not going to
arrest me, are you?
Where'd you get the drugs?
Steve had it.
He gave us the pills.
Where'd he get them?
I don't remember.
Come on, Kirk.
You must have overheard
him say something
about where he got the pills.
SYDNEY: Did you see Steve
meet with anyone that
night at the rave party?
No.
We were just dancing
and having a good time.
SYDNEY: I want you to tell us
where the next big rave party
is going to be.
Okay.
( bell rings)
Missouri Compromise, huh?
Hey, Mr. Blanchard.
Got a history test next period.
Oh, well, then maybe
I shouldn't distract you.
No, no, it's okay.
I got this one down.
Well, I just wanted
to let you know
that my spy in
the guidance office
said Michigan State
has named you a finalist
for a full academic scholarship.
For real?
They'll make the
final announcement
in a few weeks, but...
Congratulations, Juan.
You deserve it.
Thanks. Let's
wait till it's official.
I don't want to jinx it.
I'm not worried
about that a bit.
Hey, Champ.
Heard you kicked Mario's butt.
You heard wrong.
Mario fought a tough fight.
For a punk.
He ain't in your league.
I got to go.
You're wasting
your time in this joint.
You ought to turn pro.
Make some cash.
No, C.K.
You're the one
who's wasting time.
( knock at door)
I got it, Mom.
Hey, you ready?
Almost. Come on in.
Ranger Walker, hello.
Hi, Elena.
Boy, something smells good.
Oh, uh, that's Luis's favorite.
Chicken and peppers.
JUAN: Come on, hurry up, Mom.
We got to leave.
Oh, you go ahead.
I'll come later.
No, we'll wait for you.
No, that's all right.
Um, I have to get everything
ready for Luis.
Mom, are you sure?
I mean, we can wait.
Don't be silly.
( speaking quietly in Spanish)
I want you to know I will
always be there for you.
I know.
And one day I'm gonna give
you everything you deserve.
Ranger Walker, will
you get him out of here?
He has a fight to win.
Come on.
( speaks quietly)
( door closes)
( indistinct chatter,
rock music plays)
( engine revving)
This is the place
Kirk was talking about.
GAGE: Yeah.
So are you looking forward
to our first rave
together or what?
Oh, Gage, being your
partner is rave enough for me.
Ha. You're very funny, Syd.
That's funny.
Can I get you anything else?
( mumbles)
Okay, then I better get going.
Where?
Juan is boxing tonight.
Well, then maybe
I'll go with you.
But, um, Luis,
it's-it's almost time,
and, um, you don't
want to rush your dinner.
Well, then, maybe we'll go
after I eat, hmm?
SYDNEY: Man, looks
like we got company.
This is a private party.
That's okay.
We won't tell anyone.
I'll tell you, babe.
No cops allowed.
C-Cops?
( laughs): What, do
we look...? I mean...
( groaning)
( grunts)
( click)
( grunts)
( grunts)
( grunting)
( choking gasp)
Whoa!
( both men grunting)
GAGE: You okay?
Yeah. I'm thinking our boy
Kirk told him we
were coming, huh?
Yeah.
I think we need to do
a background check
on our little buddy.
I'll be glad to drive, Luis.
I'll do it.
Get in.
( speaking Spanish quietly)
( engine starting)
( brakes squeaking)
( horn beeping)
( tires squealing)
( applause)
WALKER: Okay,
when he shoots the jab,
he's gonna follow up with
the left hook, so be ready.
Yes, sir.
Where's my mom?
She should be here by now.
Call his mom.
( phone beeps)
Alex will call your mom,
make sure she's on her way.
Okay. Stay focused.
Okay.
All right, fight the
whole round, go.
ANNOUNCER: Round one!
( bell rings, applause)
( grunting)
( applause)
( grunting)
( bell rings)
( applause)
All right, to your corners.
( Juan panting)
Did you reach my mom yet?
Alex called.
No one was home.
Maybe she's on her way.
My dad didn't answer?
No.
Maybe he's coming with her.
( sighs)
Okay. Come on.
Concentrate.
ANNOUNCER: Round two!
( bell rings)
Go, go!
Come on, Juan!
( grunting)
( grunting)
( bell rings)
All right, round
over, round over.
( applause and cheering)
Where's my mom?
She never misses
any of my fights.
She must be caught in traffic.
Juan, this is the last round.
You've got to focus on it, okay?
Let's go for it.
ANNOUNCER: Round three!
( bell rings)
Touch gloves.
Let's go.
( applause and excited chatter)
( grunting)
( applause and cheering)
( grunting)
( crowd hollering)
( grunting)
Come on.
( grunting)
CAHILL: All right!
( bell rings)
( applause and cheering)
Good fight.
Okay.
ANNOUNCER: Will both fighters
please come to the center of the ring?
Okay.
Ladies and gentlemen, the
winner by a split decision...
The New City
Champion... Juan Guerro!
( applause and cheering)
What happened?
What did he talk to you about?
Juan,
your mom and dad had
an accident on the way here.
They were both killed.
I'm so sorry.
No.
( sobbing)
( crying)
Why my mom?
Why her?
Why did she have to die?
I don't know, Juan.
She struggled all her life.
Now I'll never get the chance
to give her the
things she deserved.
It's not fair.
I understand how you feel.
No, you don't!
You don't understand anything.
Your sister was a
wonderful woman.
We can't tell you how
much we're gonna miss her.
Thank you, Mrs. Walker.
Elena always told me
that you and Ranger Walker
were very supportive.
Well, if there's
anything we can ever do,
please let us know.
MARTINEZ: I've
settled everything here.
I'll be taking Juan back
home to Phoenix with me,
tomorrow.
What about Juan's scholarship?
I mean, he might lose
it if he transfers schools.
Yeah, he would.
Mr. Martinez,
what do you think
about Juan, um,
staying with us
until he graduates?
I couldn't do that.
You've done so much already.
MARTINEZ: But thank you.
Juan is a fine young man.
We'd be happy to do it.
I mean, it would be a shame
to take him away
from his friends
so close to graduation.
Hmm... Well... I'll
have to talk to Juan.
Okay.
Well, it's nice to
enjoy breakfast
without morning sickness.
Juan, your breakfast is ready.
I'm not hungry.
Walker, I'm worried.
It's been a week,
and he won't talk,
he's not eating.
I'm not even sure he's
doing his homework.
Yeah, and I can't
get him to train either.
If he's not careful,
he's gonna lose
that scholarship.
Well, I hope he can get it
together before it's too late.
On that note, I better
take him to school.
Bye.
Well... I guess I do dishes.
( bell ringing)
Juan...
Look, I know things
have been difficult for you,
but I'm concerned that you don't
fall behind in your studies.
You haven't completed
any homework this week,
and that report that I gave you
an extension on, it's due today.
I mean, finals are
almost on us, Juan.
Pretty soon it's gonna
be too late to catch up.
( sighs)
( phone ringing)
( computer whirring)
( beeping)
Your friend Kirk has
an interesting hobby.
He's playing the stock market.
Day trading.
SYDNEY: Doesn't look like
he's too good at it.
TRIVETTE: Lost $3,000
last month.
2,500 the month before.
GAGE: Looks like
almost $20,000 this year.
20,000 in losses.
His dad pulls down 38k
for paving driveways.
What's wrong with this picture?
We know his old
man didn't bail him out.
SYDNEY: I'll bet you
Kirk was selling Angel's Kiss
to pay off his debt.
He probably thought
it was easier just to
pin it on one of
the kids who died.
What do you say we
have a little chat with him?
Have a nice day, Juan.
( bell rings)
Where you going, bro?
Where do you think?
Ain't you heard?
That's a holiday, no school.
Nobody told them.
That's what makes it special.
Come on, Juan.
Blow this off, man.
Come party with us.
Look, man,
maybe these other fools
need school to get a job.
But all you need
are your two fists.
You got the talent to turn pro.
All it takes is a
sponsor with the cash
to back you.
I got the man.
Who?
Get in.
We'll drop by and see him.
( bell rings)
Come on.
All right.
There.
Let's go.
( phone rings)
Alex Cahill Walker.
Mrs. Walker, this
is Martin Blanchard
at the high school.
Yes, Mr. Blanchard?
I'm checking to see why
Juan isn't in school today.
I dropped him off this morning.
( indistinct chatter)
Where you been?
What does it matter?
I'm here now, aren't I?
Hey.
Hold it right there, bud.
First of all, you're not
gonna talk to me that way.
And second, I know
you skipped school,
and I want to know why.
Why should I go to school?
What's it gonna change?
It's gonna change
your future, Juan.
Look, I know
you're going through
a hard time right now.
But if you don't get
your act together,
you're gonna lose everything.
I don't care.
Everybody's in my face.
And you know
what? I'm sick of it.
( sighs)
$20,000?
I don't know anything
about it, Dad, I swear.
SYDNEY: Kirk's been
covering his losses
by selling a drug
called Angel's Kiss.
That's a lie.
TRIVETTE: His
three friends killed
by the train were high on it.
They're making it all up.
SYDNEY: He works
for a drug dealer
by the name of Angel.
And you tipped them off
we were going
to that rave party.
Those bikers
were waiting for us.
You can't prove that.
Call a lawyer, Dad.
I'm not saying anything
without a lawyer.
Excuse me.
Look, son, if you don't
tell them everything
you know, you are not
gonna need a lawyer.
You will need a doctor.
Hmm?
I think he'll answer
your questions now.
CAHILL: I hope it goes well.
I'll see you tomorrow night.
I love you.
Bye.
Where's Ranger Walker?
He's flying to Houston.
The police arrested a suspect
on a case that he's working on.
So he's going down
to question him.
What's going on with you?
I'm gonna go catch a
movie with some friends.
I'm making dinner.
Yeah, it's okay.
I'll get something
while I'm out.
Have fun.
( door opening)
( door closing)
GAGE: You see him?
Yeah.
Dark curly hair,
second table from
the left.
Get pictures of his goons, too.
( camera shutter clicking)
GAGE: Oh, no.
TRIVETTE: What?
It's Juan.
( camera shutter clicking)
( crickets chirping)
( car engine approaching)
( car engine shuts off)
( sighs)
( car door opens)
( car door closes)
I thought you'd be asleep.
I waited up for you.
Whose car did you drive home?
A friend from school.
Who?
C.K.
What's with all the questions?
Juan...
I know that you would
never do anything illegal,
but if you hang out
with the wrong people...
What are you talking about?
Tonight, you were
seen with some people
you shouldn't be
associated with.
You've been spying on me?
No, of course not.
Well, then how do you
know who I was with?
I can't tell you.
I'm just trying to warn you
against some trouble that...
Listen, I don't
need your warning!
I can pick my friends.
Of course you can.
I didn't ask to come here.
This was your idea.
Juan, please, listen to me.
( car door slams)
( engine starts)
SYDNEY: Interpol identifies
him as Nikolai Kosegin.
Born in Leningrad in 1965.
Three arrests on drug charges.
No convictions.
Yeah, he's awful slick.
He always uses other people
to do his dirty work for him.
Interpol has Nikki connected
with the Russian mob.
The word is they're
trying to take over
all the drug trade in Dallas.
He must be the point man here.
Looks that way.
Who's this with Juan?
C.K.
He's a local gang-banger.
Goes to the same high school.
SYDNEY: Well, they
ought to promote him
straight to Huntsville...
This guy's got
three juvenile convictions
for assault and
possession with intent.
Hmm.
C.K. could be a
distributor for this Nikki guy.
TRIVETTE: If we
catch C.K. in the act,
maybe we can make him tell
us where Nikki's operation is.
Yeah.
( tires squealing)
( horn honking)
( all laughing)
Yeah!
Yeah!
Nikki likes you.
Yeah?
Yeah. He could
make it happen for you.
Like what?
Like getting you
the top trainers,
top promoters.
Now, Nikki's got the cash
to make you a champion.
Okay, thanks.
Dallas P.D. spotted C.K.'s car.
Mario?
What are you doing here?
He's in my crew.
There a problem?
No, man, there's not.
You're the problem.
I told you to stay out of here.
That ain't gonna happen.
You're gonna get hurt.
Bring it on, then.
Oh, hey, come on,
guys. Let's talk about this.
No more talk.
He comes over here selling
Angel's Kiss to kids.
We don't want that
poisoning our streets.
You're selling stuff to kids?
And what if I am?
No!
Mario!
Hold on, Mario.
Put pressure on it.
( sirens blaring)
Get out of here, Juan.
Go on, get out of here.
No.
I'm not going to leave you.
Juan, get out of here. Go!
Call an ambulance!
MAN: We need an ambulance
A.S.A.P., northwest side
of Hilary Park.
TRIVETTE: All right.
WALKER: Hey,
Mario. Ranger Walker.
How you feeling?
Fine.
So, you want to tell
us what happened?
We kicked C.K. off the
street for selling Angel's Kiss.
He came back with Juan and
some boys, figuring we'd back down.
Juan was helping C.K.?
No. Juan didn't know
what was going on.
I told him C.K. had lied to him.
That's when C.K. stabbed me.
He would have killed me,
except Juan knocked him out.
Juan's a good
guy, Ranger Walker.
( sighs)
Okay, thanks, Mario.
Get well.
Thanks.
SYDNEY: Busted you with
over 100 pills of Angel's Kiss.
That's possession with intent.
Aggravated assault.
Attempted murder.
It's time for you
to get real, C.K.
You're going down
for at least ten years
if you don't cooperate with us.
SYDNEY: You know,
you've really only got
one card to play.
What?
Give us Nikki,
and we'll ask the
DA to cut you a deal.
( snorts)
I ain't saying nothing.
JUAN: Mom... I'm so sorry.
I shouldn't have left you alone.
I should've done something.
( sighs): I'm so confused.
Everything's so messed up.
Please forgive me, Mom.
I miss you.
Do you remember
when I told you I
knew how you felt?
Well, I do...
and I'll tell you why.
When I was a boy...
a little younger than you...
my parents took
me to a carnival.
When we left the carnival,
three men came up to my mom
and started insulting her.
You know why?
Because she was white...
and my father was a
full-blooded Cherokee Indian.
When he tried to intervene...
they stabbed him to death.
And when my mom
tried to stop 'em...
they killed her, too.
There was nothing I could
do to save my parents, Juan,
just like there was nothing
you could do to save your mom.
I know it hurts...
but we have to move
on with our lives, Juan.
That's what your
mom would want...
so don't disappoint her.
Let's go home.
Ranger Walker?
C.K. told me where
Nikki stores his drugs.
NIKKI: Look at my
beautiful babies.
The Angel's Kiss.
Very good.
Ah!
( crowbar clangs)
( metal clanging)
( glass shattering)
Come on, Nikki.
I'll escort you out personally.

Incredible!
Here, have another Angel's Kiss.
( horn blaring)
( screaming)
Come on!
( bell dings)
All right, that's it.
ANNOUNCER: That's the end
of round two of the Young Glove
city semi-final match.
You're doing good.
Keep using that jab.
I think Juan's winning.
Juan's a winner
whether he wins
or loses tonight.
Ever since Ranger Walker
took him under his
wing, he's a different kid.
He doesn't hang out
with those gang members anymore,
and he's planning
on going to college.
( both laughing)
Okay, last round.
Listen up.
When he throws
a right, go under it
and follow up with a
left hook, okay? Okay.
ANNOUNCER: Round three!
( bell dings)
All right, let's run. Let's go.
Break it up, break it up!
Break it up!
Get back.
Stop. Stop. ( bell dings)
You all right, son? ( cheering)
ANNOUNCER: The winner
by technical knockout,
Juan Guerro!
( laughing)
That was a good fight, Mario.
Not good enough.
Hey, good luck at city
championship, Juan.
I did it, Ranger Walker!
( laughing)
We did it, Mom!
We did it, Mom. Oh...!
Good fight, Mario. Thanks.
( mutters encouragement)
I am so proud of you!
Congratulations, Juan.
Thank you, Mrs. Walker.
( phone ringing) Excuse me.
Hello?
Excuse me.
It's Trivette.
Yeah, Trivette?
Okay. I'll be right there.
Three kids got hit by a train.
( siren blaring)
That's right.
But only one got
out of the way in time.
( siren blaring)
We got a mess here.
Three kids run over by a train.
One of them managed
to jump out of the way in time.
He's all stoned on we
don't know what yet.
All he could tell us
was they'd come
from a rave party.
What have you got?
I don't know.
I'm going to get it checked out.
Okay.
Hey, Pop!
I won!
( mother laughing)
Where you been?
I told you, Luis, I went
to Juan's boxing match.
You left me no dinner.
Oh, yes, I-I left your
dinner in the oven.
Didn't you get my note?
( sighing)
There was no note.
Yes, Pop, it was right...
Shut up, boy! No, si, si, si...
Stay there; I'll show you.
Let me... No!
No, Pop! Please. No.
( speaking Spanish)
Pop, no. No, please, Pop.
( mother screaming in Spanish)
Luis!

TRIVETTE: All right, it's called
Angel's Kiss.
Kids think it's pure
ecstasy, but it's not.
It's ecstasy mixed
with PCP, so instead
of the relaxed sense
of euphoria that's normal
with ecstasy, you pop
one of those puppies,
and you're looking at
becoming delusional.
SYDNEY: Blood tests confirm
that all the teenagers
at the accident were high on it.
Looks like the drug's being
smuggled in from Europe.
Customs seized a
huge shipment of it
at the airport last month.
Does Customs have any
idea where it was going?
Dead end.
Word on the street
is all the action
is being controlled by one guy.
The kids are calling him Angel.
Apparently, he uses students
at various high schools
to sell the stuff to
their classmates,
and they pick up
their fresh supplies
at these underground
rave parties.
TRIVETTE: Gives
good cover... big crowds.
Locations change every week.
Mmm.
Sydney, Gage, find out
where the next rave party is
and check it out. All right.
Here, let me help you.
No, I got it.
What happened to your face?
Mario gave me a tough fight.
You didn't get that in the ring.
You having trouble at home?
No. I'm fine.
You sure?
Never felt better. Come on.
( alarm rings)
Are we feeling
fast today, Danny?
Faster than you.
I don't know, you're
looking kind of slow.
DANNY: Oh, yeah, right.
Come on.
You're going to lose this one.
DANNY: Yeah, right.
JUAN: I can feel it!
You're going to lose. Oh, yeah?!
Ow! You got me again.
Hey, see you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow, bud.
BOY: All I remember
is a bright light
was coming at me.
Like the sun.
You didn't even
realize it was a train?
BOY: I wish I had.
I could have gotten
my friends off the track.
How much of this
Angel's Kiss did you take?
I don't remember.
GAGE: Well, the blood tests
indicate you were
high as a kite.
All of you were.
You're not going to
arrest me, are you?
Where'd you get the drugs?
Steve had it.
He gave us the pills.
Where'd he get them?
I don't remember.
Come on, Kirk.
You must have overheard
him say something
about where he got the pills.
SYDNEY: Did you see Steve
meet with anyone that
night at the rave party?
No.
We were just dancing
and having a good time.
SYDNEY: I want you to tell us
where the next big rave party
is going to be.
Okay.
( bell rings)
Missouri Compromise, huh?
Hey, Mr. Blanchard.
Got a history test next period.
Oh, well, then maybe
I shouldn't distract you.
No, no, it's okay.
I got this one down.
Well, I just wanted
to let you know
that my spy in
the guidance office
said Michigan State
has named you a finalist
for a full academic scholarship.
For real?
They'll make the
final announcement
in a few weeks, but...
Congratulations, Juan.
You deserve it.
Thanks. Let's
wait till it's official.
I don't want to jinx it.
I'm not worried
about that a bit.
Hey, Champ.
Heard you kicked Mario's butt.
You heard wrong.
Mario fought a tough fight.
For a punk.
He ain't in your league.
I got to go.
You're wasting
your time in this joint.
You ought to turn pro.
Make some cash.
No, C.K.
You're the one
who's wasting time.
( knock at door)
I got it, Mom.
Hey, you ready?
Almost. Come on in.
Ranger Walker, hello.
Hi, Elena.
Boy, something smells good.
Oh, uh, that's Luis's favorite.
Chicken and peppers.
JUAN: Come on, hurry up, Mom.
We got to leave.
Oh, you go ahead.
I'll come later.
No, we'll wait for you.
No, that's all right.
Um, I have to get everything
ready for Luis.
Mom, are you sure?
I mean, we can wait.
Don't be silly.
( speaking quietly in Spanish)
I want you to know I will
always be there for you.
I know.
And one day I'm gonna give
you everything you deserve.
Ranger Walker, will
you get him out of here?
He has a fight to win.
Come on.
( speaks quietly)
( door closes)
( indistinct chatter,
rock music plays)
( engine revving)
This is the place
Kirk was talking about.
GAGE: Yeah.
So are you looking forward
to our first rave
together or what?
Oh, Gage, being your
partner is rave enough for me.
Ha. You're very funny, Syd.
That's funny.
Can I get you anything else?
( mumbles)
Okay, then I better get going.
Where?
Juan is boxing tonight.
Well, then maybe
I'll go with you.
But, um, Luis,
it's-it's almost time,
and, um, you don't
want to rush your dinner.
Well, then, maybe we'll go
after I eat, hmm?
SYDNEY: Man, looks
like we got company.
This is a private party.
That's okay.
We won't tell anyone.
I'll tell you, babe.
No cops allowed.
C-Cops?
( laughs): What, do
we look...? I mean...
( groaning)
( grunts)
( click)
( grunts)
( grunts)
( grunting)
( choking gasp)
Whoa!
( both men grunting)
GAGE: You okay?
Yeah. I'm thinking our boy
Kirk told him we
were coming, huh?
Yeah.
I think we need to do
a background check
on our little buddy.
I'll be glad to drive, Luis.
I'll do it.
Get in.
( speaking Spanish quietly)
( engine starting)
( brakes squeaking)
( horn beeping)
( tires squealing)
( applause)
WALKER: Okay,
when he shoots the jab,
he's gonna follow up with
the left hook, so be ready.
Yes, sir.
Where's my mom?
She should be here by now.
Call his mom.
( phone beeps)
Alex will call your mom,
make sure she's on her way.
Okay. Stay focused.
Okay.
All right, fight the
whole round, go.
ANNOUNCER: Round one!
( bell rings, applause)
( grunting)
( applause)
( grunting)
( bell rings)
( applause)
All right, to your corners.
( Juan panting)
Did you reach my mom yet?
Alex called.
No one was home.
Maybe she's on her way.
My dad didn't answer?
No.
Maybe he's coming with her.
( sighs)
Okay. Come on.
Concentrate.
ANNOUNCER: Round two!
( bell rings)
Go, go!
Come on, Juan!
( grunting)
( grunting)
( bell rings)
All right, round
over, round over.
( applause and cheering)
Where's my mom?
She never misses
any of my fights.
She must be caught in traffic.
Juan, this is the last round.
You've got to focus on it, okay?
Let's go for it.
ANNOUNCER: Round three!
( bell rings)
Touch gloves.
Let's go.
( applause and excited chatter)
( grunting)
( applause and cheering)
( grunting)
( crowd hollering)
( grunting)
Come on.
( grunting)
CAHILL: All right!
( bell rings)
( applause and cheering)
Good fight.
Okay.
ANNOUNCER: Will both fighters
please come to the center of the ring?
Okay.
Ladies and gentlemen, the
winner by a split decision...
The New City
Champion... Juan Guerro!
( applause and cheering)
What happened?
What did he talk to you about?
Juan,
your mom and dad had
an accident on the way here.
They were both killed.
I'm so sorry.
No.
( sobbing)
( crying)
Why my mom?
Why her?
Why did she have to die?
I don't know, Juan.
She struggled all her life.
Now I'll never get the chance
to give her the
things she deserved.
It's not fair.
I understand how you feel.
No, you don't!
You don't understand anything.
Your sister was a
wonderful woman.
We can't tell you how
much we're gonna miss her.
Thank you, Mrs. Walker.
Elena always told me
that you and Ranger Walker
were very supportive.
Well, if there's
anything we can ever do,
please let us know.
MARTINEZ: I've
settled everything here.
I'll be taking Juan back
home to Phoenix with me,
tomorrow.
What about Juan's scholarship?
I mean, he might lose
it if he transfers schools.
Yeah, he would.
Mr. Martinez,
what do you think
about Juan, um,
staying with us
until he graduates?
I couldn't do that.
You've done so much already.
MARTINEZ: But thank you.
Juan is a fine young man.
We'd be happy to do it.
I mean, it would be a shame
to take him away
from his friends
so close to graduation.
Hmm... Well... I'll
have to talk to Juan.
Okay.
Well, it's nice to
enjoy breakfast
without morning sickness.
Juan, your breakfast is ready.
I'm not hungry.
Walker, I'm worried.
It's been a week,
and he won't talk,
he's not eating.
I'm not even sure he's
doing his homework.
Yeah, and I can't
get him to train either.
If he's not careful,
he's gonna lose
that scholarship.
Well, I hope he can get it
together before it's too late.
On that note, I better
take him to school.
Bye.
Well... I guess I do dishes.
( bell ringing)
Juan...
Look, I know things
have been difficult for you,
but I'm concerned that you don't
fall behind in your studies.
You haven't completed
any homework this week,
and that report that I gave you
an extension on, it's due today.
I mean, finals are
almost on us, Juan.
Pretty soon it's gonna
be too late to catch up.
( sighs)
( phone ringing)
( computer whirring)
( beeping)
Your friend Kirk has
an interesting hobby.
He's playing the stock market.
Day trading.
SYDNEY: Doesn't look like
he's too good at it.
TRIVETTE: Lost $3,000
last month.
2,500 the month before.
GAGE: Looks like
almost $20,000 this year.
20,000 in losses.
His dad pulls down 38k
for paving driveways.
What's wrong with this picture?
We know his old
man didn't bail him out.
SYDNEY: I'll bet you
Kirk was selling Angel's Kiss
to pay off his debt.
He probably thought
it was easier just to
pin it on one of
the kids who died.
What do you say we
have a little chat with him?
Have a nice day, Juan.
( bell rings)
Where you going, bro?
Where do you think?
Ain't you heard?
That's a holiday, no school.
Nobody told them.
That's what makes it special.
Come on, Juan.
Blow this off, man.
Come party with us.
Look, man,
maybe these other fools
need school to get a job.
But all you need
are your two fists.
You got the talent to turn pro.
All it takes is a
sponsor with the cash
to back you.
I got the man.
Who?
Get in.
We'll drop by and see him.
( bell rings)
Come on.
All right.
There.
Let's go.
( phone rings)
Alex Cahill Walker.
Mrs. Walker, this
is Martin Blanchard
at the high school.
Yes, Mr. Blanchard?
I'm checking to see why
Juan isn't in school today.
I dropped him off this morning.
( indistinct chatter)
Where you been?
What does it matter?
I'm here now, aren't I?
Hey.
Hold it right there, bud.
First of all, you're not
gonna talk to me that way.
And second, I know
you skipped school,
and I want to know why.
Why should I go to school?
What's it gonna change?
It's gonna change
your future, Juan.
Look, I know
you're going through
a hard time right now.
But if you don't get
your act together,
you're gonna lose everything.
I don't care.
Everybody's in my face.
And you know
what? I'm sick of it.
( sighs)
$20,000?
I don't know anything
about it, Dad, I swear.
SYDNEY: Kirk's been
covering his losses
by selling a drug
called Angel's Kiss.
That's a lie.
TRIVETTE: His
three friends killed
by the train were high on it.
They're making it all up.
SYDNEY: He works
for a drug dealer
by the name of Angel.
And you tipped them off
we were going
to that rave party.
Those bikers
were waiting for us.
You can't prove that.
Call a lawyer, Dad.
I'm not saying anything
without a lawyer.
Excuse me.
Look, son, if you don't
tell them everything
you know, you are not
gonna need a lawyer.
You will need a doctor.
Hmm?
I think he'll answer
your questions now.
CAHILL: I hope it goes well.
I'll see you tomorrow night.
I love you.
Bye.
Where's Ranger Walker?
He's flying to Houston.
The police arrested a suspect
on a case that he's working on.
So he's going down
to question him.
What's going on with you?
I'm gonna go catch a
movie with some friends.
I'm making dinner.
Yeah, it's okay.
I'll get something
while I'm out.
Have fun.
( door opening)
( door closing)
GAGE: You see him?
Yeah.
Dark curly hair,
second table from
the left.
Get pictures of his goons, too.
( camera shutter clicking)
GAGE: Oh, no.
TRIVETTE: What?
It's Juan.
( camera shutter clicking)
( crickets chirping)
( car engine approaching)
( car engine shuts off)
( sighs)
( car door opens)
( car door closes)
I thought you'd be asleep.
I waited up for you.
Whose car did you drive home?
A friend from school.
Who?
C.K.
What's with all the questions?
Juan...
I know that you would
never do anything illegal,
but if you hang out
with the wrong people...
What are you talking about?
Tonight, you were
seen with some people
you shouldn't be
associated with.
You've been spying on me?
No, of course not.
Well, then how do you
know who I was with?
I can't tell you.
I'm just trying to warn you
against some trouble that...
Listen, I don't
need your warning!
I can pick my friends.
Of course you can.
I didn't ask to come here.
This was your idea.
Juan, please, listen to me.
( car door slams)
( engine starts)
SYDNEY: Interpol identifies
him as Nikolai Kosegin.
Born in Leningrad in 1965.
Three arrests on drug charges.
No convictions.
Yeah, he's awful slick.
He always uses other people
to do his dirty work for him.
Interpol has Nikki connected
with the Russian mob.
The word is they're
trying to take over
all the drug trade in Dallas.
He must be the point man here.
Looks that way.
Who's this with Juan?
C.K.
He's a local gang-banger.
Goes to the same high school.
SYDNEY: Well, they
ought to promote him
straight to Huntsville...
This guy's got
three juvenile convictions
for assault and
possession with intent.
Hmm.
C.K. could be a
distributor for this Nikki guy.
TRIVETTE: If we
catch C.K. in the act,
maybe we can make him tell
us where Nikki's operation is.
Yeah.
( tires squealing)
( horn honking)
( all laughing)
Yeah!
Yeah!
Nikki likes you.
Yeah?
Yeah. He could
make it happen for you.
Like what?
Like getting you
the top trainers,
top promoters.
Now, Nikki's got the cash
to make you a champion.
Okay, thanks.
Dallas P.D. spotted C.K.'s car.
Mario?
What are you doing here?
He's in my crew.
There a problem?
No, man, there's not.
You're the problem.
I told you to stay out of here.
That ain't gonna happen.
You're gonna get hurt.
Bring it on, then.
Oh, hey, come on,
guys. Let's talk about this.
No more talk.
He comes over here selling
Angel's Kiss to kids.
We don't want that
poisoning our streets.
You're selling stuff to kids?
And what if I am?
No!
Mario!
Hold on, Mario.
Put pressure on it.
( sirens blaring)
Get out of here, Juan.
Go on, get out of here.
No.
I'm not going to leave you.
Juan, get out of here. Go!
Call an ambulance!
MAN: We need an ambulance
A.S.A.P., northwest side
of Hilary Park.
TRIVETTE: All right.
WALKER: Hey,
Mario. Ranger Walker.
How you feeling?
Fine.
So, you want to tell
us what happened?
We kicked C.K. off the
street for selling Angel's Kiss.
He came back with Juan and
some boys, figuring we'd back down.
Juan was helping C.K.?
No. Juan didn't know
what was going on.
I told him C.K. had lied to him.
That's when C.K. stabbed me.
He would have killed me,
except Juan knocked him out.
Juan's a good
guy, Ranger Walker.
( sighs)
Okay, thanks, Mario.
Get well.
Thanks.
SYDNEY: Busted you with
over 100 pills of Angel's Kiss.
That's possession with intent.
Aggravated assault.
Attempted murder.
It's time for you
to get real, C.K.
You're going down
for at least ten years
if you don't cooperate with us.
SYDNEY: You know,
you've really only got
one card to play.
What?
Give us Nikki,
and we'll ask the
DA to cut you a deal.
( snorts)
I ain't saying nothing.
JUAN: Mom... I'm so sorry.
I shouldn't have left you alone.
I should've done something.
( sighs): I'm so confused.
Everything's so messed up.
Please forgive me, Mom.
I miss you.
Do you remember
when I told you I
knew how you felt?
Well, I do...
and I'll tell you why.
When I was a boy...
a little younger than you...
my parents took
me to a carnival.
When we left the carnival,
three men came up to my mom
and started insulting her.
You know why?
Because she was white...
and my father was a
full-blooded Cherokee Indian.
When he tried to intervene...
they stabbed him to death.
And when my mom
tried to stop 'em...
they killed her, too.
There was nothing I could
do to save my parents, Juan,
just like there was nothing
you could do to save your mom.
I know it hurts...
but we have to move
on with our lives, Juan.
That's what your
mom would want...
so don't disappoint her.
Let's go home.
Ranger Walker?
C.K. told me where
Nikki stores his drugs.
NIKKI: Look at my
beautiful babies.
The Angel's Kiss.
Very good.
Ah!
( crowbar clangs)
( metal clanging)
( glass shattering)
Come on, Nikki.
I'll escort you out personally.
