While out on a hike, Alex, Sydney, and a young friend stumble upon a gang responsible for a dangerous new drug that has hit the city streets.

Welcome, everybody,
to White Buffalo Days.

Hope y'all having a good time!

Come on, let's have some fun!

♪ Well, people dancing
people laughing ♪

♪ So glad the weekend's here ♪

♪ The kids are gonna
play all day long ♪

♪ Soon nighttime will be here ♪

♪ We're gonna put on
our hats slip on boots ♪

♪ We'll make the
good times last ♪

♪ Warm sunshine all around me ♪

♪ Sipping ice-cold lemonade ♪

♪ I've waited all week
to have some fun... ♪

Are you going to sulk all day?

I'm not sulking.

Look, honey, I know you
had your heart set on going out

to the Tall Grass
Prairie tomorrow,

but I can't leave work.

But it's for Daddy.

Don't you care about him at all?

Of course I care about
him. You know that.

You know what?
If Daddy were alive,

you know what he'd tell you.

When things don't turn
out the way you plan...

You plan a way to
turn things around.

Yeah.

I just miss him so much.

It's okay.

So do I.

What does the white buffalo
mean to the Native Americans?

They believe if they saw
one, the tribes would flourish.

So they actually existed?

Mm-hmm. Very rare though.

A buffalo hunter killed one

in 1876 on the
Tall Grass Prairie.

Hi, guys. Want some lemonade?

Yes.

Okay, my treat,

but we've got to
find Fawn's stand,

because her mom makes
the absolute best lemonade.

How is Fawn doing
on the soccer team?

You know what,
she's really athletic.

She's the fastest
girl on the team,

but I think she's
having a little trouble

connecting with the other kids.

I thought being with the Center

would help her
find some friends.

Yeah, but making a move and
changing schools is tough for any kid.

Especially one growing
up on the reservation.

Yeah.

Well, I sure do appreciate you

coaching the girls' team.

You know what?

I think I'm having
more fun than the kids.

Hi, Leona.

Hi, you guys. How are ya?

Hi.

Three cold lemonades,
please. Okay.

Hey, Fawn.

Hi.

Sydney says you're doing
terrific on your soccer team.

Thanks.

Sorry.

Something wrong?

Um, it was a year ago
tomorrow my husband died

and every year
during the festival,

he would take her out
to the Tall Grass Prairie

on the reservation.

The site where the
white buffalo was killed.

Yeah.

I have to work tomorrow,
so I can't take her.

She really hoped to go.

Why don't we take Fawn?

It'll be great fun and boy,

I could sure use the break.

I hope you're talking
about your work.

Of course I am.

We're not an old
married couple yet.

All right,

well, how about if we pick
her up tomorrow morning?

Okay?

That would be great.
She'll be thrilled.

And the drinks are on the house.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Something wrong with you?

Uh, I guess I'm just feeling

a little sorry for
myself, that's all.

This festival is the
first social activity

I've been to in weeks,

and look who I got
stuck with as a date.

Excuse me?

Some people think
I'm a pretty good date.

Sir.

Honestly though, you know what?

I've been thinking,
you know, this job

makes it nearly impossible

to have a normal
relationship with a woman.

Well, you've got
to be patient, man.

You've got to wait

for the right one
to come around.

Like Walker did with Alex.

Is that what you're doing?

No.

You know what the
life of a ranger is like.

Thanks.

All units, hostage
situation at JT's Food Mart,

Vine and 22nd.

Two gunmen. Shots
fired, Code Three.

That's a couple miles from here.

Yeah, yeah, let's go.

Shut up! Get down!

Get down!

Yeah! Yeah!

Whoo!

Old man, my partner does
good work, doesn't he?

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah, boy! Come on! Whoo!

Right here!

You see that? Huh?

I think I want you
to sing with me.

I can't. Yes, you can.

99 bottles of beer on
the wall, 99 bottles of beer

Sing!

99... bottles of
beer on the wall.

OFFICER Steve, Kurt, move
to your left, go to your left.

Cover.

I'm Ranger Trivette.

This is Ranger Gage.

What do you got?

Six or seven hostages.

What happened?

According to a witness,

two armed men burst
in and went berserk.

Whoo-hoo!

Ready?

Cover us. We're going in.

Come on, come on. Do it for me

and my friend.

I don't think she likes us.

Bad singer!

99 bottles of beer on the wall.

My store! My store!

Yeah! Yeah!

Whoo!

Yeah! Whoo!

Yeah! My store!

Come on!

Whoo! Whoo!

Come on!

Whoo-hoo!

Yeah! Yeah!

What do you think
of that, old man?

Say thank you.

Thank you.

He's thanking me.

Whoo!

Right here! Right here!

Come on! Come on!

My store! Yeah!

My store, old man!

My store!

Whoo! Whoo!

Gage!

I'm clear.

Everybody okay?

You guys are all right.

We got one down back here, guys.

We got them,
Rangers! We got 'em!

Right here.

Let's go!

They're all drugged out, Ranger.

Any idea what kind of drug?

Something new.

One of them called
it White Buffalo.

♪ In the eyes of a ranger ♪

♪ The unsuspecting stranger ♪

♪ Had better know the truth ♪

♪ Of wrong from right ♪

♪ 'Cause the eyes of
the ranger are upon you ♪

♪ Any wrong you
do he's going to see ♪

♪ When you're in
Texas, look behind you ♪

♪ 'Cause that's where
the ranger's going to be. ♪

Mick?

Mick?

Earth to Mick, come on. Mick?

This guy is fried.

Mick?

Listen to me.

You're looking at
some serious time.

This is your only
chance to help yourself.

You understand?

We are talking ten
to 15 years, minimum,

Mick, okay?

I suggest that you try
to cooperate with us.

What drug are you on?

White... Buffalo.

Where did you
get the drug, Mick?

Hey, we can't help
if you don't help us.

Come on, Mick.

Be smart for once.

Give us a name.

Frazier.

Who is Frazier?

Pine... Street.

Delusions, wild mood swings,

sudden outbursts
of extreme violence.

Some of the worst
stuff I've seen.

I've got a lead on the supplier.

One of the perps gave us a
name Frazier from Pine Street.

Narcotics ran his rap sheet.

Junior Frazier, 721 Pine.

Convicted of
possession with intent

and two counts of assault.

Let's go check it out.

Yeah, that's nice.

Ladies first.

Texas Rangers! Open up!

Hands in the air!

Sydney, Gage!

You all right?

Yeah, we're okay!

Everything's all right, Miss.

Come on.

Come on.

You'll be okay.

Get off me! Get off me!

Get off me!

I'll get this to the lab

and see if it's White Buffalo.

Okay, look, Ryker,
this is the last time

that we're gonna ask you this.

Who is your supplier?

I told you before, I don't know.

Just give us the name.

Look, I just went to
work for Frazier last week.

I didn't even get paid yet.

Well, file your complaint
with the Labor Department.

Do you realize that you're going

to go down for life for this?

And to protect who?

Come on, think about it.

Look, all I know is
there's another batch

of White Buffalo
that's supposed to hit

the streets in a couple
of days. That's it.

Good morning.

Morning. You ready to go, Fawn?

Yeah. Bye, Mom.

Uh...!

I love you. I love you, too.

Be safe. All right, we
should have her back

no later than 3:00
this afternoon.

Great. Don't worry.

We'll take great care of her.

This means a lot
to Fawn. Thank you.

Oh, we're happy to do it.

Bye-bye. Bye.

This is it. Park here.

Here we are.

Okay, I think this is for you.

Thank you.

This one's mine.

Thank you so much
for bringing me.

We're happy to do it, Fawn.

It's so beautiful here.

Yeah.

Fresh air, no traffic,
no cell phones.

And Buffalo wallow's that way.

How far?

Seven miles.

Seven miles?

March, march, march.

I got the lab report
on this White Buffalo.

This stuff is wicked.

Mescaline, PCP and heroin.

Mescaline?

That's a derivative of peyote.

Didn't some Indian tribes

use peyote in their
religious rituals?

Yeah, and some still do.

Trivette.

You know, I don't know, Walker.

Seems like drugs just keep

getting worse and worse.

I thought PCP was as bad

as it gets. This
stuff sounds lethal.

Okay, thanks.

Reservation hospital
says they have

a couple of drug overdoses

that could be White Buffalo.

Hey, you know what?
Syd and I busted

a guy robbing a drugstore

last month that was jacked up

on something crazy.

I wonder if that could
be the same stuff.

I think he's probably
still in jail waiting trial.

Go talk to him.

Trivette,

let's you and I
go to the hospital.

So this is the actual place

where the White
Buffalo was killed?

Yes. My dad told me
that the White Buffalo

was sacred to our ancestors.

Those are beautiful.

What are they here for?

To honor our loved
ones who died.

I made that for you, Dad.

Come on. Let me show you where

my father used to take us.

Yeah.

Sure.

Sure, we can double your order.

You got the cash?

Okay, then, it's a deal.

Get going, Snake.

Santiago just doubled his order.

Are we on schedule?

No sweat, Corbin.

The heroin and the
PCP will be here soon.

Thanks to me, we've
got plenty of mescaline.

Thanks to me,

this batch of White Buffalo
is gonna make us all rich.

Here are your lemonades
and let me get change for you.

Have fun today.

Thank you.

Stay cool.

Hey, come on.

Look at the buffalo.

Look at that.

The buffalo's crying.

We're here at the White
Buffalo Days festival

where there is quite a commotion
surrounding this famous statue.

It appears as though
tears are actually flowing

from the eyes of
the White Buffalo.

At present, there's no plausible
explanation for this phenomenon.

Stay tuned.

We'll keep you posted as
this strange story unfolds.

I tell you what.

I'm going to give you 30
seconds to get real lucky

or to get real stupid.

It's your call, Haines.

I'm listening.

When we busted you,

you were juiced up
on some kind of drug.

I want to know the
name of that drug

and who you bought it from.

Man, that whole
period's kind of a blur.

The clock's ticking, Haines.

25 seconds.

What do I get?

I'll put in a good word
with the D.A. for you.

Oh, a word with the D.A.

15 seconds.

I want it in writing.

10 seconds.

You could be shafting me.

Five... four...
three... two... Okay.

Walker.

Hey, it's Gage.

Guess what?

We haven't a clue, Gage.

Haines named the dealer
who sold him the White Buffalo.

What do you say I
try to set up a buy

and learn who's supplying him?

Okay, go ahead.

Well, I can see why
you love this place.

Yeah.

This is my dad's favorite spot.

Well, is anybody hungry?

I am.

It looks like a good
place to have lunch.

That's a great idea.

He'd bring me out
here every year.

We'd go camping

just like they did
in the old days.

He'd tell me stories

his dad told him about
the days of the buffalo.

Excuse me.

Why would a plane be
landing way out here?

Didn't sound like
engine trouble.

Is there an airstrip nearby?

No.

What's over in that direction?

Nothing.

There's an old outpost,

but nobody lives in it.

You know what? I'm
gonna go check it out.

Okay? I'll be right back.

Let's see what we got here.

Mighty big order
this time, Mr. Corbin.

Yeah, well, what can I say?

Business is booming.

Let's see the green.

Check it.

Hey!

What are you doing?

You know, I was just looking
for a place to sunbathe.

Is that a problem?

That sounded like gunfire.

That's the direction
Sydney went!

Come on. Let's go.

What happened?

Some broad was snooping around.

Come on!

What's wrong?

Drug dealers.

Fawn, what's the
quickest way out of here?

The town's closer
than the car and I know

a shortcut. All right.

This way.

She met up with two more.

This way.

We've got to find out who's
making this poison, Walker.

Trivette.

Yeah, he's right here.

Leona Gentry.

Yes, Leona.

Ranger Walker, um...

the strangest thing is
happening down here.

The statue of the
White Buffalo...

it's shedding tears.

It's what?

It's... it's crying.

I know it sounds silly,

but that's what it looks like.

We'll be right there.

What's wrong?

The statue of the White
Buffalo is shedding tears.

What?

Marshal.

Gray Fox.

The tribal council will gather
later today at the sacred fire.

We need your help.

The council requests
that you attend.

I'll be there.

They're catching up.

We could hide in those trees.

All right, good idea. Let's go.

We've got to cover our tracks.

All right, I'll do it. Hang on.

Sydney!

Just stay hidden.

Come back!

I hit her.

You go that way.
I'll cover this side.

Shh.

I'm hurt.

I've got to get out of here.

I'm going to kill this broad
and the other two with her.

You go back and send help.

Do you think Sydney's okay?

I'm sure she is, honey.

Exactly who is Gray Fox?

Gray Fox is a wise
and respected elder

of our tribe.

And the White Buffalo
statue is crying?

You know what that is?

What?

That's an elaborate hoax

to drum up business
for the festival.

Really?

Yeah, it's a publicity stunt.

You really think so, huh?

I know so.

You going to tell me a statue

of a white buffalo is crying?

Tears?

I'm not telling you
anything, Trivette.

Alex, Fawn.

Let's get out of here.

Oh, my God. Sydney, you're hurt.

We've got to go. Come on.

Let's go. That way.

Hey, look.

Here's some tiger moss.

Put this on the wound
and it'll stop the bleeding.

Go on. My dad taught me.

All right, look,
we've got to go.

You help Sydney.

I'll make a false trail
to slow them down.

No, Fawn, you're not

going anywhere.
You stay with us.

I'll catch up.

Fawn!

Okay.

What happened to you?

That broad jumped us.

She has to be a
cop or something.

You told me this
area was secure.

Don't worry, Corbin, I shot her.

Dead? Almost.

Growing Snake
wants help killing her

and the other two with her.

The other two?!

What the hell is going on here!

Torix, Krause, get out there!

Tell them where to go.

And finish it!

Finish it! You hear me?

The spirit of the White
Buffalo has been dishonored

by evil people
to destroy others.

Not only to destroy

our people, but
also the white man.

They make poison
that rots the mind...

and steals the soul.

That is why I have asked Washio

to come here.

He will stop this.

Washio... You must restore

the honor of the White Buffalo.

The council will ask

its spirit to guide you.

I will, Gray Fox.

Yeah, all right. Thanks.

Alex and Sydney and
Fawn haven't come back yet.

It's been two hours.

You don't think they got lost?

Rough country out there.

Let's go.

Come on, load up.

Deal goes down in an hour.

Make sure you
clear this place out

before you leave.

All right, let's go!

Looks like they walked
the rest of the way.

They were here.

This supposed to be

the skull of the white buffalo?

According to legend.

Where do you think they went?

I don't know.

There's an abandoned shack

not too far from here.

Let's go check it out.

As you can see, the
tears continue to flow.

We understand
they've been analyzed

and they truly are tears.

As to why the buffalo is crying,

we can only speculate,
but we have also learned

there is a new drug
called White Buffalo.

Is this a bizarre coincidence?

Or is there a connection?

How much further to town?

About two miles.

You can make it, Sydney.

That way.

What is all this?

Trivette.

Peyote residue.

For processing mescaline.

White Buffalo.

You think the gals
stumbled on this place?

Hold it!

Get back here.

Ow!

Watch it, my arm is busted.

We're looking for three women,

and I think you
know where they are.

I don't know anything.

You're lying!

Now, tell me where they are.

Okay, okay! I'll tell you.

You'll show us.

We're getting close.

Hang on, Sydney.

These handcuff's killing me.

This it?

Right here.

Hang on, Sydney.

It's almost over.

You got that right.

And I'll bet you're the one
that made that false trail.

You leave her alone!

Now stay down.

I said stay down.

You all right?

Yes, I'm fine, but
Sydney's been shot.

The moss stopped the bleeding.

That's good.

That was Fawn's idea.

Smart girl.

Where's the drug
deal going down?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Yeah. Yeah, I would.

If you don't tell me, I'm
gonna break your neck.

Okay, got it. Yeah.

All right. Come on, hurry up

and get this stuff ready.

They'll be here soon.
All right. Yes, sir.

Transfer that on
there. Let's go.

Let's go!

Stack them all.

Here you go. It's good.

I can zip this now.

Come on, hurry up
and get this stuff ready.

They'll be here soon.

Texas Rangers. Get them!

Hands behind your back.

Very impressive.

Looks like I just got a
deal on this shipment.

I wouldn't count on it.

Drop 'em.

What part of "drop 'em"
don't you understand?

Drop the gun. Thank you.

What took you so long?

Dr. Rex Thalberg,
a chemist from SMU,

is here checking the statue

to see where the
tears are coming from.

Just a minute, please.

Okay, we now understand
that the Texas Rangers,

led by Ranger Cordell Walker,

have captured notorious
drug lord Lance Corbin.

He is the mastermind
behind the White Buffalo drug.

They have shut down
his entire operation.

It stopped crying.

I followed the dealer to
Santiago and staked him out.

Then when Santiago
went to make the buy,

I just tailed him.

Would have been nice to know

where you were.

Hey, I called you,

but you must have
been out of range.

Why don't we let Sydney rest.

Thank you.

I'm gonna let Sydney rest.

We'll see you tomorrow.

Thanks guys, for coming by.

Bye.

You know what?

I think maybe I'll
just stick around

for a little bit, in case
you need something.

I'll be, I'll be real quiet.

Gage, you know, you don't have

to stay. You don't.

Come on, you'd do it for me.

No, I wouldn't.

Yeah, you would.

No, I wouldn't.

Would.

Wouldn't. Would, too.

Mm-mm. Yeah, you would.

I still don't believe it.

A statue that sheds real tears.

Hmm!

The mysteries of life, Trivette.
