Walker, Texas Ranger (1993–2001): Season 9, Episode 8 - Retribution - full transcript
Last time on Walker
Texas Ranger.
What have we got so far?
We have a list of the
crime families who've paid
this Chairman $15
million each to eliminate
these undercover agents
from their organizations.
Walker.
Yeah, it's Gage...
We got Artie in the air
and we're on our way.
Now they got my
accountant to roll over
on me... I want to know
what you're gonna do about it.
Dump the fuel, kill the radio.
BUZZ: The Wizard's
up to something.
Do you know what?
He's exchanging info
on some kind of mobile unit.
It's moving, too. I
can't nail it down.
Rodger. Fuel loss now
at 60 pounds per minute.
Walker, we're spilling fuel.
If I can hitch a ride on
his carrier frequency,
my input will sync with
his interface. Then do it.
Depressurize
the cabin. Yes, sir.
The pilots must be
unconscious by now,
and there is just
enough fuel left
to make a nice fireball.
I'm gonna give you a
flying lesson, buddy.
I was afraid you
were gonna say that.
Push the yoke forward
and give me the altitudes.
Okay, uh, here it goes.
We've cleared you to land.
I'm trying to actuate
the thrust reversers.
Wizard's trying something.
I got to stop him.
Almost got it.
They've landed.
Good job, Buzz.
THE CHAIRMAN: I want the names
of everyone on that task force!
I want to know
everything about them.
Everything!
It's time I eliminated them all,
especially him!
BUZZ: Ha, well
looky what I got here.
Remember that shipment
of computer chips
hijacked last week?
$50 million, two men killed.
Well, according to the
FBI wiretap records,
the De Salvo mob
did it as a contract job
for the Asian crime syndicate.
There's gonna be a
handoff in St. Louis tomorrow.
How did you break into those?
Oh, handsome,
if I told you that,
I'd have to kill you.
The De Salvos are
clients of The Chairman's.
I say we crash the party.
What do you think, handsome?
( sighs)
( indistinct talking)
( siren wails)
( shouting, grunting)
( gunfire)
( grunting)
( grunting)
Keep 'em busy!
( grunting)
Drop it!
Drop it.
Well, well.
Richie Garnes.
How'd you find out about this?
You told us. What?
TRIVETTE: Yep, your
boss, Mr. De Salvo's
gonna be very unhappy with you.
I didn't tell you nothing.
SYDNEY: Well, your
boss doesn't know that,
and we're gonna
make him think you did.
Hey, man, you can't do that.
Oh, yes, we can, and we will,
unless you tell us where he is.
Oh, man.
It's Carmine De Salvo.
He sounds mad.
Put him on.
( beeping)
This is The Chairman.
That damn cowboy's got to die.
You hear me?
I want 'em all dead!
Calm down, Carmine.
Who are you talking about?
Walker.
He just cost me $12 million.
( clattering)
Carmine.
Carmine, where are you going?
You just lost another
client, Chairman.
He's been arrested for murder.
You know, you're really
becoming a nuisance, Walker.
You haven't seen anything yet.
Yeah, well, maybe I should
just eliminate the problem.
You know where to find me.
So how long have, uh, you
and Gage worked together.
About a year.
We first met when
we were undercover.
So, um, you two must
be pretty close, huh?
Yeah, I guess so.
Like, really close?
Well, no, not like
you're thinking.
I mean, you know...
we're partners.
We're ranger partners.
Right, I was just wondering.
GAURD: Morning, Ranger Cooke.
Morning.
Afraid I'm going to
have to check your ID.
Okay.
Who are you, ma'am?
This is Buzz Lee.
There's your ID.
Why all the extra security?
Is there some kind of
terrorist threat or something?
All I know is they told
us to check everyone.
No exceptions.
( beeping)
Relax, Sherlock,
it's my lo-jack.
It's all right.
She's in my custody.
Thank you.
Some security.
I could be wearing a
bomb for all you know.
She's just kidding.
Sorry.
Hey, what's with
all the security?
Walker believes The
Chairman's coming after us.
ROSETTI: We've already damaged
over two thirds of
his organization.
The man's got to be sweating.
We've gotten rid of Cardoza,
The Redman Syndicate,
Billy Bob Jackson
and The De Salva's.
I'm sure he's sweating it.
He's losing face
with the crime bosses.
He's got to do something.
So you figure this will
lure him out in the open.
Yeah, he has no
choice but to take us out.
BUZZ: Now I know how bait feels.
Yeah, but see,
this bait bites back.

THE CHAIRMAN: I admit,
I underestimated
Walker and his team.
That was a mistake.
It will not happen again.
The damages that were
inflicted are unfortunate.
I'm afraid we'll just
have to accept those.
You may accept
it, but we do not.
These men paid you
$15 million for protection.
And now most of them
are in jail or dead.
CHEN: Well, LaForge is right.
What are you going to do
about Walker and his task force?
I'm going to kill
him, of course.
No disrespect,
but your batting
average is lousy.
I have compiled information
about every member of the team.
Their habits, their weaknesses.
You give me the tools,
I'll make sure
they're eliminated.
What tools?
I want each of you to send
your best man to Dallas.
I'll take it from there.
Within 72 hours,
I guarantee the task
force will not exist.
LaFORGE: Let
me get this straight.
We pay you for security,
and yet you expect us
to do your dirty work?
I'm not the one at risk
here, LaForge, you are.
Come on, gentlemen,
make up your mind.
CHEN: All right,
I'll send my man.
But no more mistakes.
Screw up... and
we'll come for you.
ROSETTI: Hey,
your snitch was right.
That's Joey T.
He works with the
LaForge Organization.
What do you want to bet
he's not here on vacation?
ROSETTI: Joey T's
LaForge's muscle.
He's a suspect
in nine murders, but
he's never been indicted.
Which means either he's
really good or he's really lucky.
He's a pro.
Hey, there's a new
guy in town, too.
Uh, Floyd Mason,
linked to the mob in Seattle.
It's starting.
What?
The Chairman's putting together
a death squad from
the crime families.
Oh, is it sort of like
an all-star team?
(chuckles): Yeah,
something like that.
WALKER: Look, you
guys work your sources.
We need to find out
who else is in town.
Buzz, you and I can
put together the data
on the hit men linked
to each crime family.
Looks like your plan's working.
Oh, this is a plan?
Get every killer in
the country after us?
TRIVETTE: Buzz.
A smart general
chooses his battlefields.
( Buzz typing)
( knocking at door)
Hey, you got a minute?
For you? Maybe even two.
You know Rangers
Carvell and Singer?
Of course.
The evidence you
gathered on the Leech case
guaranteed a guilty verdict.
You did a great job.
Thank you, ma'am.
We'll be outside.
Okay.
I've assigned them
to be your bodyguards.
Security's pretty tight.
I don't care, Alex.
I don't want you going
anywhere without them.
Yes, sir.
I mean it.
Okay.
I promise.
How's it going? Great.
Buzz is getting all
kinds of stuff from NCIC.
We've got the who's who
of hit men in America here.
I have never seen so many
disgusting scumballs.
It's worse than
watching Jerry Springer.
Who's that guy right there?
That is, uh, Wayne
Strickland, Detroit.
Let's see.
Former member
of the Street Vipers
motorcycle gang.
Did time for
assault, selling meth,
joined the Southside Mob
when he got out of prison.
Rumor is he works with a
guy who calls himself The Serb.
What do you got on him?
Nothing.
All we know is that
he kills his victims
with a stiletto.
Ouch.
TRIVETTE: We don't
have all day; come on.
I'm a businessman, see?
Trouble is bad for business.
Especially this kind of trouble.
You know what? Your
defense of free enterprise
is making me all misty.
Why don't you get to the point?
He's new.
( clears throat)
Last night, I sent
two of my best ladies
to service a client
from out of town.
Now, this client has
a certain reputation,
if you know what I mean.
He didn't return my
merchandise in good condition.
He beat them up?
Fractured skull, broken jaw.
Who is he?
Nick Kingsley.
ROSETTI: Nick Kingsley?
This guy's out of Cincinnati.
He's a psycho.
He murdered his own brother.
SWEETNESS: Now
you see my problem.
See, if I don't
protect my girls,
I don't have no girls.
But, hell, there's no way
I'm knocking on his door.
Sweetness, where is he?
Thank you, gentlemen.
Our pleasure.
( sighing) Well.
I'm beginning to like
all this attention
I'm getting from you.
Oh, you are, are you?
Yes, I am.
Let's go home.
MAN: Yeah, that's him.
Stayed two nights
then checked out.
It's clean.
For a dump.
I don't know, maybe the
lab boys can find something.
Kingsley have any company?
There was a guy who came by.
They left together.
What he look like?
A real weirdo.
About six feet,
bleached white hair.
Sounds like Frosty.
Listen, don't, uh,
don't get any sudden
urges to clean the place
before Forensics
gets here, all right?
You're welcome.
( engine starting)
That's what I just said.
Room 128.
I need a complete
forensic work-up,
and pull the phone records.
Please.
( dial tone)
TRIVETTE: Duck!
( tires squealing)
Guess what?
He set us up.
( siren blaring)
( tires squealing)
Oh!
Vince!
( grunting)
( dog barking in distance)
( groaning)
( groaning)
Thank goodness for Kevlar.
( chuckling)
ROSETTI: You set us up.
No way.
TRIVETTE: How'd they know
we'd be at the motel?
Well, I didn't tell them.
ROSETTI: That insults us.
Why did you try to have
us killed, Sweetness?
No, no, you... you
got it all wrong.
( door shuts)
So, we got it all wrong,
huh, Sweetness?
( sighing)
That's right.
Book him, Rosetti.
Wait, on what charge?
For the attempted murder
of two police officers.
( laughing softly)
I wasn't even there.
Conspiracy, Sweetness.
It's the same as if you
pulled the trigger yourself.
TRIVETTE: They won't
even give you bail for that.
What is it, 20, 30 years inside?
You're history, Sweetness.
Wait, wait, wait,
hold it, hold it.
Wait a minute.
What if I tell you
where I really took
my ladies to party?
You failed me, Kane.
They must have been
wearing protective body armor.
Those bullets should
have done the job.
Shoot them in the head.
I will not have some
tin-star Texas cowboy
getting away with this.
Now, you get it done.
Go on.
What do you want?
I've hacked into the records
of the cell phone company
the task force
uses, so pretty soon,
we're going to be able to
listen to their conversations.
Well, finally... some
refreshing news.
BUZZ: Could you
sleep last night?
Yeah, like a baby, why?
Oh, I couldn't.
( chuckling): I kept thinking
about all those
creeps trying to get me.
Every little noise made me jump.
Ah, you'll be fine.
Sydney's here;
she'll protect you.
Yeah, I know.
I guess I'm not as big
a feminist as I thought.
What do you mean?
Just that, you know, maybe
I'd feel safer with a guy.
Well, uh... SYDNEY:
Gage, Gage, let's go.
I got a lead on Strickland.
Uh, I'm right behind you.
Let's go.
( door shuts)
WALKER: What's going on?
This is where
Sweetness sent his girls.
Looks like some of the shooters
are using it as a staging area.
Joey T. and a couple of
his guys just went inside.
Let's go check it out.
( door opening)
We're closed.
You weren't closed
for the other guys.
There's nobody here.
We'll take a look
around anyway. Hey.
You should always recycle.
SYDNEY: The informant
said Strickland's driving
a black vintage pickup.
All right, I'll cover the back.
Okay.
Texas Rangers!
Open up!
( gunshot)
( glass breaking)
( gunshot, glass shattering)
( cocking rifle)
( grunts)
( grunting)
Any sign of The Serb?
No.
( pained groaning)
( loud thud, gasp)
Did you hear that? Yeah, yeah.
( moaning)
( screaming)
Oh.
Oh, God.
( panting)
Don't hurt me, please, please.
It's okay, it's okay.
Everything's gonna be all right.
We're Texas Rangers, ma'am.
We're here to help you.
Rangers.
Yes. Everything's
gonna be fine. It's okay.
Okay.
It's all right.
What happened to you?
Um, I... went to a...
a nightclub, and...
( breathes deeply)
some man, um...
He brought me here.
( cries) Shh, shh, it's okay.
Was there another man with him?
Uh... I think.
He, uh... he left for
a while early,
early this morning.
Okay, okay, shh,
shh, shh, shh, shh.
Everything's gonna be fine.
All right. We're gonna
get you to a hospital,
okay?
( crying)
( grunting)
It's okay. Come with me.
It's all right. I'll
take care of you.
Come on.
WALKER: All right,
keep him isolated until
I get there. Yes, sir.
I found a little
arsenal in the back.
And these.
Looks like they've been busy.
Yeah.
GAGE: Watch your step.
You okay?
I don't think
I've ever been so
scared in my life.
Well, you're never gonna
have to worry about
this guy again, Miss.
Not where he's going.
I can't thank you enough.
I'm just glad that
we got here in time.
( grunting)
( grunting)
( grunts)
( grunts)
( grunts)
Aah!
What was that all about?
Meet The Serb.
What? What? How...?
How did you know that?
Let's just say it's a
woman's intuition.
Wow, she had me fooled.
Yeah.
You know, next time...
why don't you try thinking
with your brain
instead of your...
What? What are
you mad at me for?
It was an honest mistake.
Nothing, never mind.
Hey, you know, Syd,
that's hitting a
little below the belt.
( laughing)
( sarcastic chuckle)
THE CHAIRMAN: Yes, Mr. Chen.
That's why I'm here in
Dallas, and I understand
your concern.
That's why I called.
The other investors
and I don't like the
returns we're getting.
Time's running out.
Okay... Mr. Chen,
how would you like
to meet in person?
Discuss this face-to-face?
So I get the chance to meet
the mysterious Chairman?
Yes, but only you.
I'll call back with the details.
Hey, guys.
We have a composite drawing
of The Chairman's new enforcer.
So The Chairman uses
this guy to communicate with
the hit men in order to
protect his own identity?
Right.
How did you get the description?
Oh, Walker and I played a little
good cop, bad cop with Joey T.
Who was the bad cop?
What, are you kidding? Walker.
But I'm getting
better at the good cop
role, so you better watch out.
Did Joey know his name?
Yeah, they called him Kane.
BUZZ: Walker, look
what I picked up.
It's a phone conversation
between Chen and The Chairman.
It seems the mob bosses are
very upset with the way
things are going down here.
So, uh, Chen's coming
to Dallas tomorrow
to have a face-to-face
meeting with him.
WALKER: So, The
Chairman's in Dallas, huh?
GAGE: Finally, we get
to take down the old
Phantom of the Opera.
( indistinct chatter)
I'm really gonna be
happy when this is over.
So will a lot of people.
Walker...?
Alex, everything
will be fine, I promise.
( engine starts)
( grunting)
What?
Well, it looks like
they went for it.
Walker's people
are watching the field
( laughs): where
Chen's gonna land.
( panting)
You look surprised.
A little bit, yeah.
Yeah, well,
Walker thinks he's
got me on the ropes,
and he's rushing
in for the kill.
( panting)
There'll be a kill all right.
( panting)
But it'll be Walker and
that whole task force.
( sighs)
That could be the one.
That's him.
This is Unit One.
We got the package.
Roger, One.
( car engine starting)
Unit Two, move in.
( car starts)
SYDNEY: Two, rolling.
WOMAN: What a shock.
WOMAN 2: I know.
( indistinct chatter)
( indistinct chatter)
Just went in the church.
Follow him.
Unit Two, cover the grounds.
WOMAN: I'll send flowers...
( birds singing,
indistinct chatter)
I didn't fly all this
way to be kept waiting.
( guns cock)
Freeze.
( guns cocking)
I love it when the
cops tell you to freeze.
Let me try it once.
Freeze.
( laughs)
How was that?
Everybody, put
your weapons down.
Now!
Good.
You know, The
Chairman always says,
you kill the body,
and the head'll die.
Is that a fact?
Now, tell your guys
to put their guns down.
Let me explain
something to you, Clem.
You're still outgunned.
The only gun you
have to worry about
is the one in your back.
( glass breaking)
( grunting)
Freeze!
( groaning)
( grunting)
( grunting)
( bones crunching)
( grunting)
( groaning)
( glass breaking)
( grunts)
( glass breaking)
( glass breaking)
( grunting)
( grunting)
How about a nice Hawaiian Punch?
( grunting)
( gasping for air)
( sighs)
( shouting and screaming)
Get me out of here.
( phone ringing)
Hello?
Mrs. Walker, this
is Officer Miller.
Your husband was
hurt in a shoot-out.
He's on the way to
Memorial Hospital.
Hello?
Hello?
You all right?
Walker's been hurt.
I'm on my way to
Memorial Hospital.
Corvelle will be right out.
I'll meet you at the car.
Congratulations, Mrs. Walker.
Your impulsiveness
just saved the lives
of both your bodyguards.
Now come on.
You drive.
( engine starting)
You're going to need
to get to the
hospital for stitches.
Okay.
TRIVETTE: Hey, Walker?
Alex.
Hey, what's up?
I'm sorry, Walker.
He tricked me.
Yes, I have your lovely bride.
Your only hope
of seeing her alive
is to do exactly as I say.
You attempt to bring help,
and I'll kill her.
Is that clear?
I'm listening.
Tell me something, choirboy.
Who tipped you off?
Who's the rat, huh?
GAGE: I'm sure you're familiar
with the expression "too
good to be true," huh?
Hey, your boss was too generous.
Made us all wonder when
he dumped that wiretap
right in our laps.
Times, places.
You'll never get The Chairman.
Ever.
Remember what The Chairman said
about "kill the body
and the head will die"?
The Chairman doesn't
have much body left.
Get him out of here.
Come on.
You know, I can never understand
why people want
to live in the sticks.
The lack of action
would drive me crazy.
Walker's never going to
let you get away with this.
I'm counting on it.
Inside.
Hey, where's Walker?
MAN: I don't know.
He was right here on the phone.
Hey, Walker?
Walker, it's Trivette.
Walker, can you hear me?
What's the matter?
Walker took off
without telling anybody.
I can't raise him on the radio.
Alex is missing. She
told her bodyguard
she was going to
Memorial Hospital,
'cause Walker was hurt.
Nobody at the hospital
has seen either of them.
Alex just called Walker.
The Chairman's got her.
You don't think Walker would
go there by himself, do you?
Let me see that phone.
( tires squealing)
The Wizard's
online, but it's weird.
What do you mean?
He's on, but he's not active.
It's like when you leave
the phone off the hook.
Can you track him down some way?
Yeah, I'll try.
Buzz, you got to find him.
All right.
WALKER: Where is he?
Right here, Ranger Walker.
Put the gun down. Now.
Now, sit.
It's me you want.
Let her go.
Uh-uh.
She's part of the test.
What test?
To determine what
kind of man you are.
You've been a worthy
opponent, Walker.
I respect that.
A good measure of a man
is in the enemies he makes.
But I have a question for you.
How much do you
love your wife, huh?
You see, in five minutes...
( beeping)
This whole place is going up.
Ten seconds before
that, I'm out of here.
That leaves you with a choice.
You come out after me,
or you stay here
with your wife and die.
( beeping)
( The Wizard groaning)
GAGE: Call an ambulance!
( groaning)
Are you The Wizard?
Okay, just relax, all right?
The paramedics are on the way.
All right, listen to me.
Where's The Chairman?
He shot me.
Yeah, okay; take your time.
Wizard? Oh.
Wizard?
Buzz.
What happened to you?
I sent you files on
all the crime families.
Why?
Change of heart.
( panting)
You're pretty!
TRIVETTE: Wizard,
where's The Chairman?
GAGE: Come on, hang in there,
hang in there, hang
in there; come on!
Oh, my God.
THE CHAIRMAN: How much
does he love you, Mrs. Walker?
Hmm?
( beeping) I wonder.
( beeping)
My bet is he'll run.
I guess we'll just have to...
stand here and wait.
( beeping)
Come on!
( glass shattering)
FBI agents staged
a series of pre-dawn
raids this morning,
arresting the
bosses of the nation's
biggest crime families.
A Justice Department spokesman
credited a federal task force
directed by Texas
Ranger Cordell Walker.
Yes.
The files The Wizard sent
ought to keep those
prosecutors busy for years.
Wallace Slausen.
What?
That's The Wizard's real name...
Wallace Slausen.
We just got off the phone
with Senator Rhodes.
She wants everyone to know
how happy they are with the job
you all did.
Now we can get back
to our mundane jobs.
And I can get back
to the Big Apple,
where I can get a piece of meat
without barbecue
sauce all over it.
I got to get out
of this cow town.
No, stay; you seem
to be fitting in so well.
I even think I hear
a southern accent
there somewhere.
BUZZ: So, I guess you all
don't need me anymore, huh?
Guess not.
Yeah, it's back to prison.
You could always write
us, or something, though.
Yeah.
You guys are so mean.
Gage, will you tell her?
You have been
granted a full pardon.
( laughing): What?
Oh, my God!
Oh!
( laughs)

Texas Ranger.
What have we got so far?
We have a list of the
crime families who've paid
this Chairman $15
million each to eliminate
these undercover agents
from their organizations.
Walker.
Yeah, it's Gage...
We got Artie in the air
and we're on our way.
Now they got my
accountant to roll over
on me... I want to know
what you're gonna do about it.
Dump the fuel, kill the radio.
BUZZ: The Wizard's
up to something.
Do you know what?
He's exchanging info
on some kind of mobile unit.
It's moving, too. I
can't nail it down.
Rodger. Fuel loss now
at 60 pounds per minute.
Walker, we're spilling fuel.
If I can hitch a ride on
his carrier frequency,
my input will sync with
his interface. Then do it.
Depressurize
the cabin. Yes, sir.
The pilots must be
unconscious by now,
and there is just
enough fuel left
to make a nice fireball.
I'm gonna give you a
flying lesson, buddy.
I was afraid you
were gonna say that.
Push the yoke forward
and give me the altitudes.
Okay, uh, here it goes.
We've cleared you to land.
I'm trying to actuate
the thrust reversers.
Wizard's trying something.
I got to stop him.
Almost got it.
They've landed.
Good job, Buzz.
THE CHAIRMAN: I want the names
of everyone on that task force!
I want to know
everything about them.
Everything!
It's time I eliminated them all,
especially him!
BUZZ: Ha, well
looky what I got here.
Remember that shipment
of computer chips
hijacked last week?
$50 million, two men killed.
Well, according to the
FBI wiretap records,
the De Salvo mob
did it as a contract job
for the Asian crime syndicate.
There's gonna be a
handoff in St. Louis tomorrow.
How did you break into those?
Oh, handsome,
if I told you that,
I'd have to kill you.
The De Salvos are
clients of The Chairman's.
I say we crash the party.
What do you think, handsome?
( sighs)
( indistinct talking)
( siren wails)
( shouting, grunting)
( gunfire)
( grunting)
( grunting)
Keep 'em busy!
( grunting)
Drop it!
Drop it.
Well, well.
Richie Garnes.
How'd you find out about this?
You told us. What?
TRIVETTE: Yep, your
boss, Mr. De Salvo's
gonna be very unhappy with you.
I didn't tell you nothing.
SYDNEY: Well, your
boss doesn't know that,
and we're gonna
make him think you did.
Hey, man, you can't do that.
Oh, yes, we can, and we will,
unless you tell us where he is.
Oh, man.
It's Carmine De Salvo.
He sounds mad.
Put him on.
( beeping)
This is The Chairman.
That damn cowboy's got to die.
You hear me?
I want 'em all dead!
Calm down, Carmine.
Who are you talking about?
Walker.
He just cost me $12 million.
( clattering)
Carmine.
Carmine, where are you going?
You just lost another
client, Chairman.
He's been arrested for murder.
You know, you're really
becoming a nuisance, Walker.
You haven't seen anything yet.
Yeah, well, maybe I should
just eliminate the problem.
You know where to find me.
So how long have, uh, you
and Gage worked together.
About a year.
We first met when
we were undercover.
So, um, you two must
be pretty close, huh?
Yeah, I guess so.
Like, really close?
Well, no, not like
you're thinking.
I mean, you know...
we're partners.
We're ranger partners.
Right, I was just wondering.
GAURD: Morning, Ranger Cooke.
Morning.
Afraid I'm going to
have to check your ID.
Okay.
Who are you, ma'am?
This is Buzz Lee.
There's your ID.
Why all the extra security?
Is there some kind of
terrorist threat or something?
All I know is they told
us to check everyone.
No exceptions.
( beeping)
Relax, Sherlock,
it's my lo-jack.
It's all right.
She's in my custody.
Thank you.
Some security.
I could be wearing a
bomb for all you know.
She's just kidding.
Sorry.
Hey, what's with
all the security?
Walker believes The
Chairman's coming after us.
ROSETTI: We've already damaged
over two thirds of
his organization.
The man's got to be sweating.
We've gotten rid of Cardoza,
The Redman Syndicate,
Billy Bob Jackson
and The De Salva's.
I'm sure he's sweating it.
He's losing face
with the crime bosses.
He's got to do something.
So you figure this will
lure him out in the open.
Yeah, he has no
choice but to take us out.
BUZZ: Now I know how bait feels.
Yeah, but see,
this bait bites back.

THE CHAIRMAN: I admit,
I underestimated
Walker and his team.
That was a mistake.
It will not happen again.
The damages that were
inflicted are unfortunate.
I'm afraid we'll just
have to accept those.
You may accept
it, but we do not.
These men paid you
$15 million for protection.
And now most of them
are in jail or dead.
CHEN: Well, LaForge is right.
What are you going to do
about Walker and his task force?
I'm going to kill
him, of course.
No disrespect,
but your batting
average is lousy.
I have compiled information
about every member of the team.
Their habits, their weaknesses.
You give me the tools,
I'll make sure
they're eliminated.
What tools?
I want each of you to send
your best man to Dallas.
I'll take it from there.
Within 72 hours,
I guarantee the task
force will not exist.
LaFORGE: Let
me get this straight.
We pay you for security,
and yet you expect us
to do your dirty work?
I'm not the one at risk
here, LaForge, you are.
Come on, gentlemen,
make up your mind.
CHEN: All right,
I'll send my man.
But no more mistakes.
Screw up... and
we'll come for you.
ROSETTI: Hey,
your snitch was right.
That's Joey T.
He works with the
LaForge Organization.
What do you want to bet
he's not here on vacation?
ROSETTI: Joey T's
LaForge's muscle.
He's a suspect
in nine murders, but
he's never been indicted.
Which means either he's
really good or he's really lucky.
He's a pro.
Hey, there's a new
guy in town, too.
Uh, Floyd Mason,
linked to the mob in Seattle.
It's starting.
What?
The Chairman's putting together
a death squad from
the crime families.
Oh, is it sort of like
an all-star team?
(chuckles): Yeah,
something like that.
WALKER: Look, you
guys work your sources.
We need to find out
who else is in town.
Buzz, you and I can
put together the data
on the hit men linked
to each crime family.
Looks like your plan's working.
Oh, this is a plan?
Get every killer in
the country after us?
TRIVETTE: Buzz.
A smart general
chooses his battlefields.
( Buzz typing)
( knocking at door)
Hey, you got a minute?
For you? Maybe even two.
You know Rangers
Carvell and Singer?
Of course.
The evidence you
gathered on the Leech case
guaranteed a guilty verdict.
You did a great job.
Thank you, ma'am.
We'll be outside.
Okay.
I've assigned them
to be your bodyguards.
Security's pretty tight.
I don't care, Alex.
I don't want you going
anywhere without them.
Yes, sir.
I mean it.
Okay.
I promise.
How's it going? Great.
Buzz is getting all
kinds of stuff from NCIC.
We've got the who's who
of hit men in America here.
I have never seen so many
disgusting scumballs.
It's worse than
watching Jerry Springer.
Who's that guy right there?
That is, uh, Wayne
Strickland, Detroit.
Let's see.
Former member
of the Street Vipers
motorcycle gang.
Did time for
assault, selling meth,
joined the Southside Mob
when he got out of prison.
Rumor is he works with a
guy who calls himself The Serb.
What do you got on him?
Nothing.
All we know is that
he kills his victims
with a stiletto.
Ouch.
TRIVETTE: We don't
have all day; come on.
I'm a businessman, see?
Trouble is bad for business.
Especially this kind of trouble.
You know what? Your
defense of free enterprise
is making me all misty.
Why don't you get to the point?
He's new.
( clears throat)
Last night, I sent
two of my best ladies
to service a client
from out of town.
Now, this client has
a certain reputation,
if you know what I mean.
He didn't return my
merchandise in good condition.
He beat them up?
Fractured skull, broken jaw.
Who is he?
Nick Kingsley.
ROSETTI: Nick Kingsley?
This guy's out of Cincinnati.
He's a psycho.
He murdered his own brother.
SWEETNESS: Now
you see my problem.
See, if I don't
protect my girls,
I don't have no girls.
But, hell, there's no way
I'm knocking on his door.
Sweetness, where is he?
Thank you, gentlemen.
Our pleasure.
( sighing) Well.
I'm beginning to like
all this attention
I'm getting from you.
Oh, you are, are you?
Yes, I am.
Let's go home.
MAN: Yeah, that's him.
Stayed two nights
then checked out.
It's clean.
For a dump.
I don't know, maybe the
lab boys can find something.
Kingsley have any company?
There was a guy who came by.
They left together.
What he look like?
A real weirdo.
About six feet,
bleached white hair.
Sounds like Frosty.
Listen, don't, uh,
don't get any sudden
urges to clean the place
before Forensics
gets here, all right?
You're welcome.
( engine starting)
That's what I just said.
Room 128.
I need a complete
forensic work-up,
and pull the phone records.
Please.
( dial tone)
TRIVETTE: Duck!
( tires squealing)
Guess what?
He set us up.
( siren blaring)
( tires squealing)
Oh!
Vince!
( grunting)
( dog barking in distance)
( groaning)
( groaning)
Thank goodness for Kevlar.
( chuckling)
ROSETTI: You set us up.
No way.
TRIVETTE: How'd they know
we'd be at the motel?
Well, I didn't tell them.
ROSETTI: That insults us.
Why did you try to have
us killed, Sweetness?
No, no, you... you
got it all wrong.
( door shuts)
So, we got it all wrong,
huh, Sweetness?
( sighing)
That's right.
Book him, Rosetti.
Wait, on what charge?
For the attempted murder
of two police officers.
( laughing softly)
I wasn't even there.
Conspiracy, Sweetness.
It's the same as if you
pulled the trigger yourself.
TRIVETTE: They won't
even give you bail for that.
What is it, 20, 30 years inside?
You're history, Sweetness.
Wait, wait, wait,
hold it, hold it.
Wait a minute.
What if I tell you
where I really took
my ladies to party?
You failed me, Kane.
They must have been
wearing protective body armor.
Those bullets should
have done the job.
Shoot them in the head.
I will not have some
tin-star Texas cowboy
getting away with this.
Now, you get it done.
Go on.
What do you want?
I've hacked into the records
of the cell phone company
the task force
uses, so pretty soon,
we're going to be able to
listen to their conversations.
Well, finally... some
refreshing news.
BUZZ: Could you
sleep last night?
Yeah, like a baby, why?
Oh, I couldn't.
( chuckling): I kept thinking
about all those
creeps trying to get me.
Every little noise made me jump.
Ah, you'll be fine.
Sydney's here;
she'll protect you.
Yeah, I know.
I guess I'm not as big
a feminist as I thought.
What do you mean?
Just that, you know, maybe
I'd feel safer with a guy.
Well, uh... SYDNEY:
Gage, Gage, let's go.
I got a lead on Strickland.
Uh, I'm right behind you.
Let's go.
( door shuts)
WALKER: What's going on?
This is where
Sweetness sent his girls.
Looks like some of the shooters
are using it as a staging area.
Joey T. and a couple of
his guys just went inside.
Let's go check it out.
( door opening)
We're closed.
You weren't closed
for the other guys.
There's nobody here.
We'll take a look
around anyway. Hey.
You should always recycle.
SYDNEY: The informant
said Strickland's driving
a black vintage pickup.
All right, I'll cover the back.
Okay.
Texas Rangers!
Open up!
( gunshot)
( glass breaking)
( gunshot, glass shattering)
( cocking rifle)
( grunts)
( grunting)
Any sign of The Serb?
No.
( pained groaning)
( loud thud, gasp)
Did you hear that? Yeah, yeah.
( moaning)
( screaming)
Oh.
Oh, God.
( panting)
Don't hurt me, please, please.
It's okay, it's okay.
Everything's gonna be all right.
We're Texas Rangers, ma'am.
We're here to help you.
Rangers.
Yes. Everything's
gonna be fine. It's okay.
Okay.
It's all right.
What happened to you?
Um, I... went to a...
a nightclub, and...
( breathes deeply)
some man, um...
He brought me here.
( cries) Shh, shh, it's okay.
Was there another man with him?
Uh... I think.
He, uh... he left for
a while early,
early this morning.
Okay, okay, shh,
shh, shh, shh, shh.
Everything's gonna be fine.
All right. We're gonna
get you to a hospital,
okay?
( crying)
( grunting)
It's okay. Come with me.
It's all right. I'll
take care of you.
Come on.
WALKER: All right,
keep him isolated until
I get there. Yes, sir.
I found a little
arsenal in the back.
And these.
Looks like they've been busy.
Yeah.
GAGE: Watch your step.
You okay?
I don't think
I've ever been so
scared in my life.
Well, you're never gonna
have to worry about
this guy again, Miss.
Not where he's going.
I can't thank you enough.
I'm just glad that
we got here in time.
( grunting)
( grunting)
( grunts)
( grunts)
( grunts)
Aah!
What was that all about?
Meet The Serb.
What? What? How...?
How did you know that?
Let's just say it's a
woman's intuition.
Wow, she had me fooled.
Yeah.
You know, next time...
why don't you try thinking
with your brain
instead of your...
What? What are
you mad at me for?
It was an honest mistake.
Nothing, never mind.
Hey, you know, Syd,
that's hitting a
little below the belt.
( laughing)
( sarcastic chuckle)
THE CHAIRMAN: Yes, Mr. Chen.
That's why I'm here in
Dallas, and I understand
your concern.
That's why I called.
The other investors
and I don't like the
returns we're getting.
Time's running out.
Okay... Mr. Chen,
how would you like
to meet in person?
Discuss this face-to-face?
So I get the chance to meet
the mysterious Chairman?
Yes, but only you.
I'll call back with the details.
Hey, guys.
We have a composite drawing
of The Chairman's new enforcer.
So The Chairman uses
this guy to communicate with
the hit men in order to
protect his own identity?
Right.
How did you get the description?
Oh, Walker and I played a little
good cop, bad cop with Joey T.
Who was the bad cop?
What, are you kidding? Walker.
But I'm getting
better at the good cop
role, so you better watch out.
Did Joey know his name?
Yeah, they called him Kane.
BUZZ: Walker, look
what I picked up.
It's a phone conversation
between Chen and The Chairman.
It seems the mob bosses are
very upset with the way
things are going down here.
So, uh, Chen's coming
to Dallas tomorrow
to have a face-to-face
meeting with him.
WALKER: So, The
Chairman's in Dallas, huh?
GAGE: Finally, we get
to take down the old
Phantom of the Opera.
( indistinct chatter)
I'm really gonna be
happy when this is over.
So will a lot of people.
Walker...?
Alex, everything
will be fine, I promise.
( engine starts)
( grunting)
What?
Well, it looks like
they went for it.
Walker's people
are watching the field
( laughs): where
Chen's gonna land.
( panting)
You look surprised.
A little bit, yeah.
Yeah, well,
Walker thinks he's
got me on the ropes,
and he's rushing
in for the kill.
( panting)
There'll be a kill all right.
( panting)
But it'll be Walker and
that whole task force.
( sighs)
That could be the one.
That's him.
This is Unit One.
We got the package.
Roger, One.
( car engine starting)
Unit Two, move in.
( car starts)
SYDNEY: Two, rolling.
WOMAN: What a shock.
WOMAN 2: I know.
( indistinct chatter)
( indistinct chatter)
Just went in the church.
Follow him.
Unit Two, cover the grounds.
WOMAN: I'll send flowers...
( birds singing,
indistinct chatter)
I didn't fly all this
way to be kept waiting.
( guns cock)
Freeze.
( guns cocking)
I love it when the
cops tell you to freeze.
Let me try it once.
Freeze.
( laughs)
How was that?
Everybody, put
your weapons down.
Now!
Good.
You know, The
Chairman always says,
you kill the body,
and the head'll die.
Is that a fact?
Now, tell your guys
to put their guns down.
Let me explain
something to you, Clem.
You're still outgunned.
The only gun you
have to worry about
is the one in your back.
( glass breaking)
( grunting)
Freeze!
( groaning)
( grunting)
( grunting)
( bones crunching)
( grunting)
( groaning)
( glass breaking)
( grunts)
( glass breaking)
( glass breaking)
( grunting)
( grunting)
How about a nice Hawaiian Punch?
( grunting)
( gasping for air)
( sighs)
( shouting and screaming)
Get me out of here.
( phone ringing)
Hello?
Mrs. Walker, this
is Officer Miller.
Your husband was
hurt in a shoot-out.
He's on the way to
Memorial Hospital.
Hello?
Hello?
You all right?
Walker's been hurt.
I'm on my way to
Memorial Hospital.
Corvelle will be right out.
I'll meet you at the car.
Congratulations, Mrs. Walker.
Your impulsiveness
just saved the lives
of both your bodyguards.
Now come on.
You drive.
( engine starting)
You're going to need
to get to the
hospital for stitches.
Okay.
TRIVETTE: Hey, Walker?
Alex.
Hey, what's up?
I'm sorry, Walker.
He tricked me.
Yes, I have your lovely bride.
Your only hope
of seeing her alive
is to do exactly as I say.
You attempt to bring help,
and I'll kill her.
Is that clear?
I'm listening.
Tell me something, choirboy.
Who tipped you off?
Who's the rat, huh?
GAGE: I'm sure you're familiar
with the expression "too
good to be true," huh?
Hey, your boss was too generous.
Made us all wonder when
he dumped that wiretap
right in our laps.
Times, places.
You'll never get The Chairman.
Ever.
Remember what The Chairman said
about "kill the body
and the head will die"?
The Chairman doesn't
have much body left.
Get him out of here.
Come on.
You know, I can never understand
why people want
to live in the sticks.
The lack of action
would drive me crazy.
Walker's never going to
let you get away with this.
I'm counting on it.
Inside.
Hey, where's Walker?
MAN: I don't know.
He was right here on the phone.
Hey, Walker?
Walker, it's Trivette.
Walker, can you hear me?
What's the matter?
Walker took off
without telling anybody.
I can't raise him on the radio.
Alex is missing. She
told her bodyguard
she was going to
Memorial Hospital,
'cause Walker was hurt.
Nobody at the hospital
has seen either of them.
Alex just called Walker.
The Chairman's got her.
You don't think Walker would
go there by himself, do you?
Let me see that phone.
( tires squealing)
The Wizard's
online, but it's weird.
What do you mean?
He's on, but he's not active.
It's like when you leave
the phone off the hook.
Can you track him down some way?
Yeah, I'll try.
Buzz, you got to find him.
All right.
WALKER: Where is he?
Right here, Ranger Walker.
Put the gun down. Now.
Now, sit.
It's me you want.
Let her go.
Uh-uh.
She's part of the test.
What test?
To determine what
kind of man you are.
You've been a worthy
opponent, Walker.
I respect that.
A good measure of a man
is in the enemies he makes.
But I have a question for you.
How much do you
love your wife, huh?
You see, in five minutes...
( beeping)
This whole place is going up.
Ten seconds before
that, I'm out of here.
That leaves you with a choice.
You come out after me,
or you stay here
with your wife and die.
( beeping)
( The Wizard groaning)
GAGE: Call an ambulance!
( groaning)
Are you The Wizard?
Okay, just relax, all right?
The paramedics are on the way.
All right, listen to me.
Where's The Chairman?
He shot me.
Yeah, okay; take your time.
Wizard? Oh.
Wizard?
Buzz.
What happened to you?
I sent you files on
all the crime families.
Why?
Change of heart.
( panting)
You're pretty!
TRIVETTE: Wizard,
where's The Chairman?
GAGE: Come on, hang in there,
hang in there, hang
in there; come on!
Oh, my God.
THE CHAIRMAN: How much
does he love you, Mrs. Walker?
Hmm?
( beeping) I wonder.
( beeping)
My bet is he'll run.
I guess we'll just have to...
stand here and wait.
( beeping)
Come on!
( glass shattering)
FBI agents staged
a series of pre-dawn
raids this morning,
arresting the
bosses of the nation's
biggest crime families.
A Justice Department spokesman
credited a federal task force
directed by Texas
Ranger Cordell Walker.
Yes.
The files The Wizard sent
ought to keep those
prosecutors busy for years.
Wallace Slausen.
What?
That's The Wizard's real name...
Wallace Slausen.
We just got off the phone
with Senator Rhodes.
She wants everyone to know
how happy they are with the job
you all did.
Now we can get back
to our mundane jobs.
And I can get back
to the Big Apple,
where I can get a piece of meat
without barbecue
sauce all over it.
I got to get out
of this cow town.
No, stay; you seem
to be fitting in so well.
I even think I hear
a southern accent
there somewhere.
BUZZ: So, I guess you all
don't need me anymore, huh?
Guess not.
Yeah, it's back to prison.
You could always write
us, or something, though.
Yeah.
You guys are so mean.
Gage, will you tell her?
You have been
granted a full pardon.
( laughing): What?
Oh, my God!
Oh!
