Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 9, Episode 6 - Lazarus - full transcript
Last time on Walker
Texas Ranger:
Bring the clients online.
Gentlemen, thank you
for agreeing to meet me.
Who are you?
You can call me The
Chairman, Mr. LaForge.
I can give you full protection
from every federal
agency there is.
I can find each and every
one of them in your operation,
rid you of them, and
all for the nominal cost
of $15 million a year.
I take care of my own backyard.
Mr. Cardoza, today
Senator Angela Rhodes
is meeting with
Texas officials on
how to stop you.
I want you to kill them all
starting with that damn senator.
Who do I contact with
this anonymous tip?
Give it to the Rangers.
What's going on
with your computer?
It's an anonymous
tip about Cardoza.
You're first, Senator.
Gentlemen, as you can
see, I can either help you
or I can hurt you.
The ATF has lost five
undercover agents.
The FBI is ready to crack.
We at the FBI have had ten
undercover agents killed.
FBI Agent David Woods.
Lazarus, you know what to do.
25 government agents
exposed and killed in ten days?
Somehow, someone
hacked into our mainframe
and started pulling out files.
You're talking to the master.
We'll form a task force.
And I think I know just
the man to head it up.
Do I get to pick my own team?
Except for one.
A New York police
sergeant, Vincent Rosetti.
You Walker?
Good to have you
on the team, Rosetti.
Yeah, thanks.
Folks, this is Buzz Lee.
She wrote the book
on computer hacking.
We need a computer
expert, he brings in a felon.
Got it.
You're in?
Not bad for a felon, huh?
What do you think?
The agent you have undercover
with Cardoza may be in trouble.
You've been a very naughty girl.
We ID'd the two bodies
you fished out of the lake.
One of them's Cardoza;
the other is one of his boys.
Yeah, but the
killer they brought in
to whack you is missing.
Lazarus... that's what
Alberto called him.
Leslie, I need a composite
drawing of this guy, okay?
Okay.
So good to see
you feeling better.
Care to go a couple rounds?
All right.
His eyes were so cold.
They were completely lifeless.
How about these?
No.
These?
Darker.
Geez, what is this
guy, a vampire?
How about these?
They were narrower.
Those.
Leslie, look at this.
I'm sorry. That's...
that's all I can remember.
Do you really think he
survived that explosion?
They never found his body.
Sir, I need to talk to you.
Be there in a minute.
We'll have to
continue this later.
This hacker is amazing.
How so?
Whoever it was
broke into Justice
Department's computers
using large-number
theory and deep logic.
Hmm. Would you mind
repeating that in English?
He's what us
hackers call a wizard.
I've been narrowing
down the suspects
and these are some
at the top of the list.
You're kidding me,
right? Look at this.
"Tiny Malone, Big
Hack, Spacer, Cro-Mag,"
oh, and look, "Cutie Pie."
Very interesting names.
Sounds like uh, cartoon
characters or something.
All that's missing is
Dopey, Sneezy and Doc.
Buzz, can you track
these people down?
I'm sure I can.
Okay, go ahead and do it.
Then you two go talk to him.
Okay. All right.
I should probably
take Cutie Pie.
You know, they're
probably not anything
like their hacker names.
I'll take Cutie
Pie and Big Hack.
Okay, I'll take the rest.
Just be careful with
Tiny Malone, all right?
He did eight years in Attica.
Hmm. For what, not
backing up his hard drive?
All right, just take
it down, get it down.
Get it into the, uh, plant,
and we'll take care of it.
All right, thank you. Ira!
Yeah. Uh, what?
What, Ellen, what?
Ira, it's-it's for Pete.
What is it this time?
Too much starch,
not enough starch?
It's the aprons. 30 years,
and it's always something.
I'd like just one week
where he doesn't complain.
Yeah, and you'd
be lost without him.
And don't forget
to bring me some of
that wonderful cornbread.
All right? All right, all right.
What a kvetch.
Don't forget, Ira!
I won't forget.
The kvetch I'm
dealing with all the time.
Come on now, Pete!
I'm gonna ask you one more time.
Where's my money?
I paid you already. I...
I told you, the price
went up, didn't I?
Come on now.
I told you it's gone up.
It's another five bills a month.
Well, I can't come
up with another 500.
Well, you better find a
way now, hadn't you?
Well, your daddy
never charged me more
than I could pay.
I'm in charge now.
Okay? Me.
I ought to tell him
you're ripping us off.
You think so?
Yeah?
You think you ought to tell him?
Go ahead. Tell him.

Oh, see, now I
know what they mean
by the wide open spaces.
Your shots are scattered
all over the sheet.
You know, if I lived
in the concrete jungle,
I'd practice a
lot more myself...
Boys, boys, boys,
let's play nice.
Play nice.
This is Sam Wong, an
informant who knows too much
about my organization.
I understand, Mr. Chen.
Nobody likes a snitch.
Especially one
who's still alive.
Garbage disposal
is our business.
They stashed Sam Wong
in Witness Protection.
We can't find him.
The government can't
hide anything from me.
We'll find Sam Wong
and dispose of him.
Good-bye.
We've got Clint
Redman waiting, sir.
Put him on.
Mr. Redman,
you won't believe
what I have for you.
I'll believe anything
since you found the
moles in my organization.
Ah. Are you familiar
with a company called
E-Z Rite Sanitation?
They're paying me six
figures a year in protection.
Well, I think it's time
you became their partner.
How?
Well, it seems they've
been embezzling
$2 million a year
out of their city contracts.
$2 million? What do you think
they'd pay to
keep that a secret?
Hmm.
Yeah.
Whoo, tips are
coming in on Lazarus
from all over the country.
I need this list.
I know. It's just from
the last hour, too.
We've got some traveling to do.
Hey, Vincent Rosetti.
Maybe we should think
about this some more.
No, there's nothing
to think about.
We should have
done this long ago.
Yes, but it could
make things worse.
Mr. and Mrs. Goldberg.
I'm Alex Cahill Walker.
Oh, how do you do?
Please, sit down.
What can I do for you?
You told my staff
that it was urgent.
Lonnie Redman killed
my friend Pete Williams.
The Williams murder?
How do you know?
I was delivering
Pete some aprons.
I saw Lonnie kill
him in cold blood.
They didn't see me.
Maybe we shouldn't be
telling you this.
If they find out...
Oh, Ellen,
if they did it to Pete, any
one of us could be next.
I know this might be
difficult, but are you saying
that you are paying
protection money
to Lonnie Redman?
We've been paying
the Redmans for years,
since they took over
the neighborhood.
Everyone does.
But then Lonnie raised it.
$500 more every month.
Pete couldn't pay.
Is that why they killed him?
No.
Pete was going to
complain to Clint Redman,
Lonnie's dad.
Can you help us?
I have the exact person
you need to talk to.
You got us all the
way up here for this?
You said you were
positive you had our man.
He doesn't look
anything like our guy.
I think he does.
That's why you're working
behind a desk in this backwater.
Oh, I'm sorry. We
won't bother you again.
Hey, it's okay.
Thanks for the coffee.
Is this what you call your
New York charm, huh?
What, did I offend him?
Hey.
Just hope Sydney and
Gage have better luck.
Tiny Malone?
Who wants to know?
I'm a Texas Ranger.
Well, I do believe
you're lost... partner.
Get out of here.
I'm not leaving until
I get some answers.
Texas Ranger, open up.
Come on, Big Hack, open up.
I know you're in there.
Get lost, lady!
Wrong answer.
What do you know about hacking
into federal computers, Tiny?
More than I'm going
to tell you, cowboy.
Then I'd say we have
a problem... partner.
Good.
'Cause the only thing I
like better than hacking...
is fighting.
Now open up!
Look.
You don't want to mess with me.
Actually, I do.
What do you want?
You ready to talk now or what?
Okay! Okay!
What do you know about
hacking into federal computers?
Why?
Because your name is on
a very short list of hackers
capable of breaking
into the DOJ database.
Someone finally did it?
Whoever this hacker is
exposed 25 federal agents
working undercover in the mob.
They've all been murdered.
Lady, it's not my style.
To me hacking is just a game.
A challenge.
I don't hurt people.
All right, I'm gonna
take your word for that.
Who else is smart
enough to pull this off?
Have a seat.
It's only a select group,
but I'll give you what I have.
This Black Talon ammo
should do the trick.
I'll let you know if it doesn't.
Be cool. I'll handle it.
Evening, sir.
Officer Krupky.
It's always a pleasure.
It's 2:30.
The bar's closed.
We weren't drinking.
Who's your friend?
My brother-in-law.
He's from out of town.
Uh-huh.
You're not making
deliveries again, are you, Sal?
No, sir, officer.
I learned my lesson.
Mind if I search your vehicle?
By all means.
You call that cool?
It is where I come from.
I see you met Tiny.
You okay?
Yes, I'm fine, but
you were right.
He was nothing like
his name would suggest.
Anyway, he gave me some leads
on possible hackers.
How about Big Hack?
I got a list, too.
There's one name at the top.
Cro-Mag. Cro-Mag.
Then it's unanimous.
That's what I was thinking.
I've been trying to track him,
but he hasn't been
active for several months.
How do we find him
if he's not active?
My guess, handsome...
He's probably going
by a different name.
Sure is a lot of guessing
going on around here.
Is this enough?
Will it put the
Redmans in prison?
Yes, Ellen.
Ira's testimony will
put Lonnie in prison.
Alex, we better put them
in protective custody.
Yeah.
Is that necessary?
It is until we can get
Lonnie behind bars.
Right in there.
Whoa, all right.
Now let's see your curveball.
Guys! Dinner's ready!
All right.
Good. You're wearing
out the old man.
Can you believe this heat?
You wanted to come here, Sam.
Hey, it was either
this or Fargo,
and believe me, Carolyn,
you wouldn't want to live there.
Oh, I don't know.
I liked the movie.
Patch me through.
Yes, this is the missing item.
Dispose of it.

Lonnie Redman?
What do you want?
You.
You're under arrest.
What's the charge?
The murder of Pete Williams.
Never heard of him.
You boys ever hear
of Pete Williams?
Nah. No?
You ever hear of Pete Williams?
I ain't heard of him, either.
Looks like you boys
are in the wrong place.
No. You are, Lonnie.
♪ I crossed the line... ♪
You boys want to
walk out of here,
or you want to be carried out?
Oh, I don't know.
What do you think, T?
Carried's good.
♪ I crossed the line... ♪
♪ Oh, oh ♪
♪ I crossed the line ♪
♪ Yeah, yeah... ♪
Looks like we're walking out.
Come on, Lonnie.
♪ I crossed the line. ♪
It's just what I expected.
Nothing on the news
about Sam Wong.
Our government must be working
very hard to keep
our activities secret.
Well, it'd set off a
panic if the public knew
undercover agents
were being murdered
and witnesses
couldn't be protected.
Precisely. That's
what our clients want.
To discourage people
from becoming informants.
It's good for business.
So what are we
going to do about it?
Well, if you can't count
on your government to tell
the people the truth,
we'll just have
to do it ourselves.
Come on. Show me
how creative you can be.
Okay.
Thousands are expected
at this weekend's parade,
and organizers...
Oh, we have some breaking news.
This just in.
In Mesa, Arizona,
authorities found the bodies
of a federal witness and his
family murdered in their home.
Sam Wong, an informant
against the Chen crime syndicate,
was living in the Witness
Protection Program.
Clearly, it didn't
do him any good.
In addition to Wong, 25
federal undercover agents
have been murdered
in recent weeks,
and there's not a thing
the federal government
can do about it.
Uh, folks, w-we'll have more
after this commercial break.
And after we put
down Lonnie's men,
the fight went out of him.
So how many were
there? I don't know.
Hey, T, how many
guys did Lonnie have?
Five or so.
Thanks, handsome.
I got to tell you,
these clowns you got
down here aren't so tough.
I mean, they'd be prom
queens back at Rikers.
Oh, you think so?
You know what? I'll
put our Texas scum
up against your New York
scum any day of the week.
How about that?
I can't believe
I'm hearing this.
I've got something
everyone needs to see.
This ran on the
news 30 minutes ago.
Walker, you're not
gonna believe this.
Lately, I'd believe anything.
25 Federal undercover agents
have been murdered
in recent weeks,
and there's not a thing
the federal government
can do about it.
Now, folks, we'll have more
after this commercial break.
Fortunately, the rest of this
wasn't broadcast, but she
just read the text that came in.
Informants in the Witness
Protection Program
will now be eliminated.
Those breaking in to
government computers
continue to gain control.
No one is safe.
The beginning of this
tape reported the murder
of an informant in
Witness Protection.
Yeah, Sam Wong.
I just got a call.
Whoever fed this to the
station is responsible.
This isn't public knowledge yet.
You mean they
put this right into
the TelePrompTer for
the reporters to read?
Buzz, do you know
how they did that?
Oh, yeah, how and who.
Definitely Cro-Mag.
Three years ago,
he pulled a stunt like this
at that awards show.
When the ad to free Tim McVeigh
interrupted the broadcast.
Yeah, this is just
his kind of sick trick.
I got onto him 'cause he hacked
into a California bank.
Stole from hundreds of
accounts, including mine.
Did you ever get the money back?
No, I tried.
That's how I landed in prison.
No, I accessed bank accounts
to try to track him down,
and the next thing you know,
the FBI is knocking on my door.
You know a lot about this guy.
Where can you find him?
No clue. You could know a lot
about someone in cyberspace
and not have a
clue in real space.
But you're saying this Cro-Mag
is the mastermind
behind all this?
No. My guess is he's
working for someone,
just like I'm working for you.
And he's definitely going
by a different
screen name by now.
Buzz, see if you
can find out what it is.
Sydney and Gage, go check
the Sam Wong
crime scene, all right?
All right.
The rangers have
arrested Lonnie Redman,
and they have
booked him for murder.
We're going to ask
the judge to deny bail.
Oh, that's good news, isn't it?
When can we go home?
Not quite yet.
We need to take every
possible precaution
until this case is resolved.
Clint Redman
owns a lot of people.
There's no telling
what he'll do.
Well, you have marshals
on guard around the clock,
and there's only a
handful of people
that know that you're here.
So, if you just listen
to their instructions,
you're going to be just fine.
When do you need me to testify?
Soon.
Very soon.
With your testimony,
we're going to put
Lonnie Redman away
for a good, long time.
I still say Rosetti's
a showboat.
He's just yanking
your chain. Hey.
Texas Rangers.
Come on, don't tell me
it doesn't bother you, too?
No, it doesn't.
He actually seems quite nice.
If he's nice, I am a saint.
You know, Gage,
you're just nice
in a different way.
Huh? Thank you.
Hey, ranger. Hey.
Hey, Syd.
Take a look at this.
Strafe marks.
Mm-hmm.
Probably from an
automatic weapon.
Judging by the
pattern of these holes,
there was probably
just one assassin.
Lazarus.
You might want
to check this out.
Looks like a Black Talon.
We got a partial
footprint over here, too.
What is this? Fruit punch.
Looks like the kid
was getting a drink
when they killed him.
I'm guessing this print
belongs to Lazarus.
Whoever it belongs
to is a sick puppy.
Shooting a kid at
point-blank range?
Thanks for your help.
Okay.
You greedy little bastard,
I ought to let you rot in here.
Dad, would you just let me...?
Everybody was paying.
Everything was running smooth.
And you go behind my back
and try to squeeze
more out of them?
I was gonna tell you.
I wanted to surprise you
at the end of the month
with a little extra.
Oh, don't give me that.
It was going up your nose.
If brains were spit, you
couldn't lick a stamp.
Them cops are bluffing, Dad.
Oh, yeah? You
didn't happen to trip
over some aprons
on your way out
of there, did you?
What are you talking about?
Goldberg... he saw you.
Well, that's okay.
My boys will go pick him up.
The DA's already
got him stashed.
What we gonna do, Dad?
We aren't gonna do anything.
I'm gonna take care
of this like I always do.
How you gonna do that
if the cops already
got him stashed away?
I got ways.
Lucky for you.
Haven't heard that
name in a while.
You haven't so far.
Saw your picture of Lazarus.
You won't catch him.
Good-bye.
Walker, we just got
the forensics report
from the hit on Sam Wong.
Judging from the footprint,
the killer was the same
approximate height
and weight as Lazarus.
Yeah, we also got a match
on the ammo he used.
Nine-millimeter Black Talon.
The markings would
indicate it was probably fired
from a silenced submachine gun.
Black Talon?
They're hard to find.
Should we start
checking military?
No, they'd use metal jackets.
My bet is he found
them on the street.
Maybe I should pay a
visit to old Sal Hemmings.
Who's Sal Hemmings?
He's probably the main dealer
for illegal ammo
in the Southwest.
I busted him a couple of times
when I worked in Port Arthur.
Go talk to him.
Okay.
It sounds like your son
has gotten himself
into quite a predicament.
If it wasn't my only
son, I'd let him rot.
Mmm.
Can you help me?
Ah. As I told you,
I offer a full
range of services.
We'd be happy to solve
this problem for you.
Get on it.
Hey, Sal?
Whoa. Where do
you think you're going?
Through you if I
have to. Yeah, right.
Get out of the way!
Ah! Get up!
I didn't do anything, I swear.
Yeah, you're a real choirboy.
I... I couldn't stop him.
He just took the guy out.
Oh, yeah?
We got witnesses
who say different.
Witnesses? Then they'll
tell you I didn't do anything.
I'm not dumb
enough to kill a cop.
Then do yourself a favor and
tell us everything you know.
It was that psycho.
I sold him some Black
Talon, and a cop came along.
I was trying to talk
our way out of it,
but he just went crazy.
What was his name?
Lazarus.
This look like him?
Yeah, it looks
a little like him.
Only now he's got a scar
on the side of his face
from a burn or something.
Where do we find
him? I don't know.
I-I made the
delivery to a bar...
A place called
The Five and Dime.
Hey, Sal, take my advice.
Use your time in prison
to explore some new
career possibilities.
Come on.
Wizard...
you found out where they're
holding the Goldbergs yet?
They're trying to be sneaky,
but they can't fool the Wizard.
Got it.
1498 Weber Road,
Fort Worth, Texas.
Hmm.
And another snitch
bites the dust.
Very good.
♪ You always run like thunder ♪
♪ I come down like rain... ♪
Hey, sweet thing.
Woo!
Oh!
What about this guy, right here?
Yeah, he kind of looks like him.
Let's check it out.
Hey, how's it going?
What do you want to know for?
I just thought we
could talk for a minute.
Well, you can't.
But she can.
Good. We're
looking for somebody.
You found him, baby.
Well, maybe.
Let me see some ID.
What do I get?
You get to stay out of jail.
Now will you please
show the lady your ID.
And who are you?
We're rangers.
You're not going anywhere.
Run his ID.
All right.
Hey, Ranger Cooke.
You got anything on a Lou Chang?
Why'd you run?
I felt like it.
My, my, my.
What do you got?
Assault with a deadly weapon.
Ah. Let's go.
Yeah, Walker, we got a hit.
We're at the Hotel Altamont.
The desk clerk gave us
a positive ID on Lazarus.
He's in Fort Worth.
Good.
You ready to die?
Before I do, who sent you?
My boss.
Hold it!
I'm sorry, Walker.
He didn't leave me any choice.
I know.
Okay, Walker,
you got to tell me.
How did you know Lazarus
would walk right into your trap?
Well, Buzz, I figured
The Chairman would send
Lazarus to Fort Worth
to kill the Goldbergs.
So that's why you put
the bogus safe house
address in the database?
You knew that The Wizard
would just dig it out of there.
Right.
Right.
That's why you're
the boss. Okay.
Your daddy can't
help you anymore.
The hit man he hired is dead,
so that means you're
going down for the murder.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Talking about an eyewitness
that saw you stab
Pete Williams to death.
You talking about that old
diaper-wearing crazy coot?
He's senile, man.
He probably doesn't even
know what day of the week it is.
Wait till I get on
the witness stand.
We'll see who's senile.
That crazy old
coot, as you call him,
is going to put
you on death row.
I'll take my chances.
Mr. Goldberg...
What's he doing here?
This is totally inappropriate.
Pete was a good, decent man,
and you killed
him in cold blood.
I'm going to tell
that jury what I saw,
and I'll make them believe me.
You're going to pay.
Come on.
I hope you get
the death penalty.
Hey, Lonnie... I
don't think he's senile.
I think the jury's
gonna love him.
My old man
said that The Chairman
would take care of him.
Don't. No, no.
I am not going down alone.
Don't say another word.
Listen to me.
Look, okay? I wanna make a deal.
All right, Lonnie.
Start talking.
I want him dead.
I'm losing faith
in you, Chairman.
Now make it right.
It's only a matter of time
before that no-good
son of mine rats me out.
Take care of him.
I promise you, Redman.
You won't be a
father for much longer.
Texas Rangers.
You guys know the drill.
Get up. Turn around.
Hey, hey, don't
get stupid, okay?
What's that?
Hold on.
Let's go for a ride.
Redman?
Redman, what's going on?
Not much, Chairman.
I just took down another
one of your clients.
So you're the one who's
been causing me all this grief.
I guess you could say that.
And I'll be seeing
you real soon.

Texas Ranger:
Bring the clients online.
Gentlemen, thank you
for agreeing to meet me.
Who are you?
You can call me The
Chairman, Mr. LaForge.
I can give you full protection
from every federal
agency there is.
I can find each and every
one of them in your operation,
rid you of them, and
all for the nominal cost
of $15 million a year.
I take care of my own backyard.
Mr. Cardoza, today
Senator Angela Rhodes
is meeting with
Texas officials on
how to stop you.
I want you to kill them all
starting with that damn senator.
Who do I contact with
this anonymous tip?
Give it to the Rangers.
What's going on
with your computer?
It's an anonymous
tip about Cardoza.
You're first, Senator.
Gentlemen, as you can
see, I can either help you
or I can hurt you.
The ATF has lost five
undercover agents.
The FBI is ready to crack.
We at the FBI have had ten
undercover agents killed.
FBI Agent David Woods.
Lazarus, you know what to do.
25 government agents
exposed and killed in ten days?
Somehow, someone
hacked into our mainframe
and started pulling out files.
You're talking to the master.
We'll form a task force.
And I think I know just
the man to head it up.
Do I get to pick my own team?
Except for one.
A New York police
sergeant, Vincent Rosetti.
You Walker?
Good to have you
on the team, Rosetti.
Yeah, thanks.
Folks, this is Buzz Lee.
She wrote the book
on computer hacking.
We need a computer
expert, he brings in a felon.
Got it.
You're in?
Not bad for a felon, huh?
What do you think?
The agent you have undercover
with Cardoza may be in trouble.
You've been a very naughty girl.
We ID'd the two bodies
you fished out of the lake.
One of them's Cardoza;
the other is one of his boys.
Yeah, but the
killer they brought in
to whack you is missing.
Lazarus... that's what
Alberto called him.
Leslie, I need a composite
drawing of this guy, okay?
Okay.
So good to see
you feeling better.
Care to go a couple rounds?
All right.
His eyes were so cold.
They were completely lifeless.
How about these?
No.
These?
Darker.
Geez, what is this
guy, a vampire?
How about these?
They were narrower.
Those.
Leslie, look at this.
I'm sorry. That's...
that's all I can remember.
Do you really think he
survived that explosion?
They never found his body.
Sir, I need to talk to you.
Be there in a minute.
We'll have to
continue this later.
This hacker is amazing.
How so?
Whoever it was
broke into Justice
Department's computers
using large-number
theory and deep logic.
Hmm. Would you mind
repeating that in English?
He's what us
hackers call a wizard.
I've been narrowing
down the suspects
and these are some
at the top of the list.
You're kidding me,
right? Look at this.
"Tiny Malone, Big
Hack, Spacer, Cro-Mag,"
oh, and look, "Cutie Pie."
Very interesting names.
Sounds like uh, cartoon
characters or something.
All that's missing is
Dopey, Sneezy and Doc.
Buzz, can you track
these people down?
I'm sure I can.
Okay, go ahead and do it.
Then you two go talk to him.
Okay. All right.
I should probably
take Cutie Pie.
You know, they're
probably not anything
like their hacker names.
I'll take Cutie
Pie and Big Hack.
Okay, I'll take the rest.
Just be careful with
Tiny Malone, all right?
He did eight years in Attica.
Hmm. For what, not
backing up his hard drive?
All right, just take
it down, get it down.
Get it into the, uh, plant,
and we'll take care of it.
All right, thank you. Ira!
Yeah. Uh, what?
What, Ellen, what?
Ira, it's-it's for Pete.
What is it this time?
Too much starch,
not enough starch?
It's the aprons. 30 years,
and it's always something.
I'd like just one week
where he doesn't complain.
Yeah, and you'd
be lost without him.
And don't forget
to bring me some of
that wonderful cornbread.
All right? All right, all right.
What a kvetch.
Don't forget, Ira!
I won't forget.
The kvetch I'm
dealing with all the time.
Come on now, Pete!
I'm gonna ask you one more time.
Where's my money?
I paid you already. I...
I told you, the price
went up, didn't I?
Come on now.
I told you it's gone up.
It's another five bills a month.
Well, I can't come
up with another 500.
Well, you better find a
way now, hadn't you?
Well, your daddy
never charged me more
than I could pay.
I'm in charge now.
Okay? Me.
I ought to tell him
you're ripping us off.
You think so?
Yeah?
You think you ought to tell him?
Go ahead. Tell him.

Boys, boys, boys,
let's play nice.
Play nice.
This is Sam Wong, an
informant who knows too much
about my organization.
I understand, Mr. Chen.
Nobody likes a snitch.
Especially one
who's still alive.
Garbage disposal
is our business.
They stashed Sam Wong
in Witness Protection.
We can't find him.
The government can't
hide anything from me.
We'll find Sam Wong
and dispose of him.
Good-bye.
We've got Clint
Redman waiting, sir.
Put him on.
Mr. Redman,
you won't believe
what I have for you.
I'll believe anything
since you found the
moles in my organization.
Ah. Are you familiar
with a company called
E-Z Rite Sanitation?
They're paying me six
figures a year in protection.
Well, I think it's time
you became their partner.
How?
Well, it seems they've
been embezzling
$2 million a year
out of their city contracts.
$2 million? What do you think
they'd pay to
keep that a secret?
Hmm.
Yeah.
Whoo, tips are
coming in on Lazarus
from all over the country.
I need this list.
I know. It's just from
the last hour, too.
We've got some traveling to do.
Hey, Vincent Rosetti.
Maybe we should think
about this some more.
No, there's nothing
to think about.
We should have
done this long ago.
Yes, but it could
make things worse.
Mr. and Mrs. Goldberg.
I'm Alex Cahill Walker.
Oh, how do you do?
Please, sit down.
What can I do for you?
You told my staff
that it was urgent.
Lonnie Redman killed
my friend Pete Williams.
The Williams murder?
How do you know?
I was delivering
Pete some aprons.
I saw Lonnie kill
him in cold blood.
They didn't see me.
Maybe we shouldn't be
telling you this.
If they find out...
Oh, Ellen,
if they did it to Pete, any
one of us could be next.
I know this might be
difficult, but are you saying
that you are paying
protection money
to Lonnie Redman?
We've been paying
the Redmans for years,
since they took over
the neighborhood.
Everyone does.
But then Lonnie raised it.
$500 more every month.
Pete couldn't pay.
Is that why they killed him?
No.
Pete was going to
complain to Clint Redman,
Lonnie's dad.
Can you help us?
I have the exact person
you need to talk to.
You got us all the
way up here for this?
You said you were
positive you had our man.
He doesn't look
anything like our guy.
I think he does.
That's why you're working
behind a desk in this backwater.
Oh, I'm sorry. We
won't bother you again.
Hey, it's okay.
Thanks for the coffee.
Is this what you call your
New York charm, huh?
What, did I offend him?
Hey.
Just hope Sydney and
Gage have better luck.
Tiny Malone?
Who wants to know?
I'm a Texas Ranger.
Well, I do believe
you're lost... partner.
Get out of here.
I'm not leaving until
I get some answers.
Texas Ranger, open up.
Come on, Big Hack, open up.
I know you're in there.
Get lost, lady!
Wrong answer.
What do you know about hacking
into federal computers, Tiny?
More than I'm going
to tell you, cowboy.
Then I'd say we have
a problem... partner.
Good.
'Cause the only thing I
like better than hacking...
is fighting.
Now open up!
Look.
You don't want to mess with me.
Actually, I do.
What do you want?
You ready to talk now or what?
Okay! Okay!
What do you know about
hacking into federal computers?
Why?
Because your name is on
a very short list of hackers
capable of breaking
into the DOJ database.
Someone finally did it?
Whoever this hacker is
exposed 25 federal agents
working undercover in the mob.
They've all been murdered.
Lady, it's not my style.
To me hacking is just a game.
A challenge.
I don't hurt people.
All right, I'm gonna
take your word for that.
Who else is smart
enough to pull this off?
Have a seat.
It's only a select group,
but I'll give you what I have.
This Black Talon ammo
should do the trick.
I'll let you know if it doesn't.
Be cool. I'll handle it.
Evening, sir.
Officer Krupky.
It's always a pleasure.
It's 2:30.
The bar's closed.
We weren't drinking.
Who's your friend?
My brother-in-law.
He's from out of town.
Uh-huh.
You're not making
deliveries again, are you, Sal?
No, sir, officer.
I learned my lesson.
Mind if I search your vehicle?
By all means.
You call that cool?
It is where I come from.
I see you met Tiny.
You okay?
Yes, I'm fine, but
you were right.
He was nothing like
his name would suggest.
Anyway, he gave me some leads
on possible hackers.
How about Big Hack?
I got a list, too.
There's one name at the top.
Cro-Mag. Cro-Mag.
Then it's unanimous.
That's what I was thinking.
I've been trying to track him,
but he hasn't been
active for several months.
How do we find him
if he's not active?
My guess, handsome...
He's probably going
by a different name.
Sure is a lot of guessing
going on around here.
Is this enough?
Will it put the
Redmans in prison?
Yes, Ellen.
Ira's testimony will
put Lonnie in prison.
Alex, we better put them
in protective custody.
Yeah.
Is that necessary?
It is until we can get
Lonnie behind bars.
Right in there.
Whoa, all right.
Now let's see your curveball.
Guys! Dinner's ready!
All right.
Good. You're wearing
out the old man.
Can you believe this heat?
You wanted to come here, Sam.
Hey, it was either

Oh, I don't know.

What's the charge?
The murder of Pete Williams.
Never heard of him.
You boys ever hear
of Pete Williams?
Nah. No?
You ever hear of Pete Williams?
I ain't heard of him, either.
Looks like you boys
are in the wrong place.
No. You are, Lonnie.

It's just what I expected.
Nothing on the news
about Sam Wong.
Our government must be working
very hard to keep
our activities secret.
Well, it'd set off a
panic if the public knew
undercover agents
were being murdered
and witnesses
couldn't be protected.
Precisely. That's
what our clients want.
To discourage people
from becoming informants.
It's good for business.
So what are we
going to do about it?
Well, if you can't count
on your government to tell
the people the truth,
we'll just have
to do it ourselves.
Come on. Show me
how creative you can be.
Okay.
Thousands are expected
at this weekend's parade,
and organizers...
Oh, we have some breaking news.
This just in.
In Mesa, Arizona,
authorities found the bodies
of a federal witness and his
family murdered in their home.
Sam Wong, an informant
against the Chen crime syndicate,
was living in the Witness
Protection Program.
Clearly, it didn't
do him any good.
In addition to Wong, 25
federal undercover agents
have been murdered
in recent weeks,
and there's not a thing
the federal government
can do about it.
Uh, folks, w-we'll have more
after this commercial break.
And after we put
down Lonnie's men,
the fight went out of him.
So how many were
there? I don't know.
Hey, T, how many
guys did Lonnie have?
Five or so.
Thanks, handsome.
I got to tell you,
these clowns you got
down here aren't so tough.
I mean, they'd be prom
queens back at Rikers.
Oh, you think so?
You know what? I'll
put our Texas scum
up against your New York
scum any day of the week.
How about that?
I can't believe
I'm hearing this.
I've got something
everyone needs to see.
This ran on the
news 30 minutes ago.
Walker, you're not
gonna believe this.
Lately, I'd believe anything.
25 Federal undercover agents
have been murdered
in recent weeks,
and there's not a thing
the federal government
can do about it.
Now, folks, we'll have more
after this commercial break.
Fortunately, the rest of this
wasn't broadcast, but she
just read the text that came in.
Informants in the Witness
Protection Program
will now be eliminated.
Those breaking in to
government computers
continue to gain control.
No one is safe.
The beginning of this
tape reported the murder
of an informant in
Witness Protection.
Yeah, Sam Wong.
I just got a call.
Whoever fed this to the
station is responsible.
This isn't public knowledge yet.
You mean they
put this right into
the TelePrompTer for
the reporters to read?
Buzz, do you know
how they did that?
Oh, yeah, how and who.
Definitely Cro-Mag.
Three years ago,
he pulled a stunt like this
at that awards show.
When the ad to free Tim McVeigh
interrupted the broadcast.
Yeah, this is just
his kind of sick trick.
I got onto him 'cause he hacked
into a California bank.
Stole from hundreds of
accounts, including mine.
Did you ever get the money back?
No, I tried.
That's how I landed in prison.
No, I accessed bank accounts
to try to track him down,
and the next thing you know,
the FBI is knocking on my door.
You know a lot about this guy.
Where can you find him?
No clue. You could know a lot
about someone in cyberspace
and not have a
clue in real space.
But you're saying this Cro-Mag
is the mastermind
behind all this?
No. My guess is he's
working for someone,
just like I'm working for you.
And he's definitely going
by a different
screen name by now.
Buzz, see if you
can find out what it is.
Sydney and Gage, go check
the Sam Wong
crime scene, all right?
All right.
The rangers have
arrested Lonnie Redman,
and they have
booked him for murder.
We're going to ask
the judge to deny bail.
Oh, that's good news, isn't it?
When can we go home?
Not quite yet.
We need to take every
possible precaution
until this case is resolved.
Clint Redman
owns a lot of people.
There's no telling
what he'll do.
Well, you have marshals
on guard around the clock,
and there's only a
handful of people
that know that you're here.
So, if you just listen
to their instructions,
you're going to be just fine.
When do you need me to testify?
Soon.
Very soon.
With your testimony,
we're going to put
Lonnie Redman away
for a good, long time.
I still say Rosetti's
a showboat.
He's just yanking
your chain. Hey.
Texas Rangers.
Come on, don't tell me
it doesn't bother you, too?
No, it doesn't.
He actually seems quite nice.
If he's nice, I am a saint.
You know, Gage,
you're just nice
in a different way.
Huh? Thank you.
Hey, ranger. Hey.
Hey, Syd.
Take a look at this.
Strafe marks.
Mm-hmm.
Probably from an
automatic weapon.
Judging by the
pattern of these holes,
there was probably
just one assassin.
Lazarus.
You might want
to check this out.
Looks like a Black Talon.
We got a partial
footprint over here, too.
What is this? Fruit punch.
Looks like the kid
was getting a drink
when they killed him.
I'm guessing this print
belongs to Lazarus.
Whoever it belongs
to is a sick puppy.
Shooting a kid at
point-blank range?
Thanks for your help.
Okay.
You greedy little bastard,
I ought to let you rot in here.
Dad, would you just let me...?
Everybody was paying.
Everything was running smooth.
And you go behind my back
and try to squeeze
more out of them?
I was gonna tell you.
I wanted to surprise you
at the end of the month
with a little extra.
Oh, don't give me that.
It was going up your nose.
If brains were spit, you
couldn't lick a stamp.
Them cops are bluffing, Dad.
Oh, yeah? You
didn't happen to trip
over some aprons
on your way out
of there, did you?
What are you talking about?
Goldberg... he saw you.
Well, that's okay.
My boys will go pick him up.
The DA's already
got him stashed.
What we gonna do, Dad?
We aren't gonna do anything.
I'm gonna take care
of this like I always do.
How you gonna do that
if the cops already
got him stashed away?
I got ways.
Lucky for you.
Haven't heard that
name in a while.
You haven't so far.
Saw your picture of Lazarus.
You won't catch him.
Good-bye.
Walker, we just got
the forensics report
from the hit on Sam Wong.
Judging from the footprint,
the killer was the same
approximate height
and weight as Lazarus.
Yeah, we also got a match
on the ammo he used.
Nine-millimeter Black Talon.
The markings would
indicate it was probably fired
from a silenced submachine gun.
Black Talon?
They're hard to find.
Should we start
checking military?
No, they'd use metal jackets.
My bet is he found
them on the street.
Maybe I should pay a
visit to old Sal Hemmings.
Who's Sal Hemmings?
He's probably the main dealer
for illegal ammo
in the Southwest.
I busted him a couple of times
when I worked in Port Arthur.
Go talk to him.
Okay.
It sounds like your son
has gotten himself
into quite a predicament.
If it wasn't my only
son, I'd let him rot.
Mmm.
Can you help me?
Ah. As I told you,
I offer a full
range of services.
We'd be happy to solve
this problem for you.
Get on it.
Hey, Sal?
Whoa. Where do
you think you're going?
Through you if I
have to. Yeah, right.
Get out of the way!
Ah! Get up!
I didn't do anything, I swear.
Yeah, you're a real choirboy.
I... I couldn't stop him.
He just took the guy out.
Oh, yeah?
We got witnesses
who say different.
Witnesses? Then they'll
tell you I didn't do anything.
I'm not dumb
enough to kill a cop.
Then do yourself a favor and
tell us everything you know.
It was that psycho.
I sold him some Black
Talon, and a cop came along.
I was trying to talk
our way out of it,
but he just went crazy.
What was his name?
Lazarus.
This look like him?
Yeah, it looks
a little like him.
Only now he's got a scar
on the side of his face
from a burn or something.
Where do we find
him? I don't know.
I-I made the
delivery to a bar...
A place called
The Five and Dime.
Hey, Sal, take my advice.
Use your time in prison
to explore some new
career possibilities.
Come on.
Wizard...
you found out where they're
holding the Goldbergs yet?
They're trying to be sneaky,
but they can't fool the Wizard.
Got it.
1498 Weber Road,
Fort Worth, Texas.
Hmm.
And another snitch
bites the dust.
Very good.

Hey, sweet thing.
Woo!
Oh!
What about this guy, right here?
Yeah, he kind of looks like him.
Let's check it out.
Hey, how's it going?
What do you want to know for?
I just thought we
could talk for a minute.
Well, you can't.
But she can.
Good. We're
looking for somebody.
You found him, baby.
Well, maybe.
Let me see some ID.
What do I get?
You get to stay out of jail.
Now will you please
show the lady your ID.
And who are you?
We're rangers.
You're not going anywhere.
Run his ID.
All right.
Hey, Ranger Cooke.
You got anything on a Lou Chang?
Why'd you run?
I felt like it.
My, my, my.
What do you got?
Assault with a deadly weapon.
Ah. Let's go.
Yeah, Walker, we got a hit.
We're at the Hotel Altamont.
The desk clerk gave us
a positive ID on Lazarus.
He's in Fort Worth.
Good.
You ready to die?
Before I do, who sent you?
My boss.
Hold it!
I'm sorry, Walker.
He didn't leave me any choice.
I know.
Okay, Walker,
you got to tell me.
How did you know Lazarus
would walk right into your trap?
Well, Buzz, I figured
The Chairman would send
Lazarus to Fort Worth
to kill the Goldbergs.
So that's why you put
the bogus safe house
address in the database?
You knew that The Wizard
would just dig it out of there.
Right.
Right.
That's why you're
the boss. Okay.
Your daddy can't
help you anymore.
The hit man he hired is dead,
so that means you're
going down for the murder.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Talking about an eyewitness
that saw you stab
Pete Williams to death.
You talking about that old
diaper-wearing crazy coot?
He's senile, man.
He probably doesn't even
know what day of the week it is.
Wait till I get on
the witness stand.
We'll see who's senile.
That crazy old
coot, as you call him,
is going to put
you on death row.
I'll take my chances.
Mr. Goldberg...
What's he doing here?
This is totally inappropriate.
Pete was a good, decent man,
and you killed
him in cold blood.
I'm going to tell
that jury what I saw,
and I'll make them believe me.
You're going to pay.
Come on.
I hope you get
the death penalty.
Hey, Lonnie... I
don't think he's senile.
I think the jury's
gonna love him.
My old man
said that The Chairman
would take care of him.
Don't. No, no.
I am not going down alone.
Don't say another word.
Listen to me.
Look, okay? I wanna make a deal.
All right, Lonnie.
Start talking.
I want him dead.
I'm losing faith
in you, Chairman.
Now make it right.
It's only a matter of time
before that no-good
son of mine rats me out.
Take care of him.
I promise you, Redman.
You won't be a
father for much longer.
Texas Rangers.
You guys know the drill.
Get up. Turn around.
Hey, hey, don't
get stupid, okay?
What's that?
Hold on.
Let's go for a ride.
Redman?
Redman, what's going on?
Not much, Chairman.
I just took down another
one of your clients.
So you're the one who's
been causing me all this grief.
I guess you could say that.
And I'll be seeing
you real soon.
