Surely do hope to sit in this, sir, J .W.

Corporal John Wesley McClain.

Hello, Reed.

Bill.

Mr. Garrett wants to see you.

Fine. Tell him I'll come out around three or four and we can talk then.

Now, Bill.

Well, you put it that way.

Jack!

What's all this about?

Well, I was just wondering how our little deal with the Savallo brothers

going down.

Doing fine.

How about Max Savallo?

The tough one.

Is he going for it, Belle?

Max?

Max was hot for the deal.

Hot, huh?

Was I, sweetheart?

Max.

I guess your bosses at the DEA didn't tell you I was getting out, huh?

Yeah.

Just another government screw -up, baby.

She thought I was in the cooler.

But here I am, man.

Hot.

And I can smell a fed from a mile away.

Well, Belle, you were one tough chick.

Just not tough enough.

Get rid of her.

This is unbelievable, man.

A wire.

I'm wearing a lousy wire.

Me, Sid Jarvis. I don't believe it.

This kind of thing, this ain't Sid Jarvis.

What is Sid Jarvis?

Death row?

Because if it is, say the word.

Would I be doing this if it was?

Let me ask you guys something. Why can't I just testify with immunity?

Why you got to get it on tape?

Corroboration, Sid.

Oh, my word ain't good enough, right?

No, I got to get Jack Garrett, a guy who killed his own mother just to bet on

the way she'd fall and incriminate himself about punching this DEA chick's

ticket, right?

Witness protection program, Sid. You help us get Garrett, you get what you

for. All right, this is what I asked for. This is exactly what I asked for.

We're going to get Garrett.

With or without your help, Jarvis.

So what's it going to be?

Do I have a choice?

None that I can think of.

Could you get my coat, please?

Last one was a good hit, Sid.

Better than any you ever did before.

But you've always been reliable.

Loyal, too.

You point them out, boss, I'll pull the trigger.

I was talking to some of the guys when I got back into town. They said you found

a cute little EEA cockroach in the cupboard.

Bill.

Hey, you met her.

Oh, yes. Could be. Of course.

So what happened?

She tried to pass herself off as a broker to the Zavala brothers.

Until I put her face to face with Max Zavala.

So what'd she do, have a heart attack right on the spot?

Heart attack, huh?

That's a good one.

Let me tell you something, Sid.

She didn't get heart attacks. She gave them. She beat the crap out of Max

and two of my best bodyguards.

No kidding.

Yeah, you asked Reed. He was there.

So what'd you do?

What do you mean, what'd I do?

I did the same damn thing you did.

Have a good life, Sid.

Who are you, mister?

McLean. John Wesley.

Corporal. United States Marine Corps. Serial number 2627889793.

In the eyes of a ranger, the unsuspecting stranger had better know

wrong from right.

Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

Any wrong you do, he's gonna see.

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

Cause that's where the ranger's gonna be.

Corporal John Wesley McClain, United States Marine Corps.

Born and raised in the Dallas area. Parents died in 84, traffic accident.

Only family left are a brother and sister.

He's 28.

A member of the Marines' 3rd Force Recon Battalion for the past nine years.

That's an elite group.

That's the same outfit you were with, isn't it? Yeah.

Any priors?

Nothing I can find.

But his military record is kind of impressive.

Somalia, Desert Storm.

He owns a Navy Cross, Bronze Star with Cluster, and a pair of Purple Hearts.

This lad's the real deal.

Seems that way.

So why would he throw it all away to take out a dirtbag like Jack Garrett?

Shall we ask him?

Right in my mind. I'm a dead man because of you, kid. You know that, don't you?

Sid, you gotta learn when to keep your mouth shut.

Put him over there.

Back off.

We need to talk, Corporal. No need for much talking. I did what I did, and I'll

do it again. What I want to know is why.

Because Jack Garrett killed my sister, Belstar McClain.

McClain. That's the government agent that was killed.

I was playing war games in the med when it happened.

They flew me home for the funeral.

Afterwards, I got back to base, found a little something in the mail from Belle.

Regarding Jack Garrett?

Right. Why'd she send it to you? I don't know. I guess Belle Starr just got one

of them feelings.

Like something was gonna happen, you know?

Us McLeans are heavy in the psychic department.

Around here, we call it Cherokee.

Go on. She dropped it in the mail to me.

Same day she died.

We talking evidence here? Hey, I ain't saying nothing more about it. You know,

we can charge you for withholding evidence, Corporal. Well, the way I see

sir, I'm going to jail anyway.

But sooner or later, they're going to have to let me out. And when they do, I

will kill Jack Garrett.

Here's the paperwork for Sid Jarvis.

Come on, Jarvis.

Let's go.

Yeah, right.

Time to assume my new identity.

Thanks a lot, guys.

It's been a pressure.

So where are we going? Someplace nice, someplace warm.

Beaches, babes.

Southern Cal, Florida Keys.

Alaska. Alaska?

So, are you AWOL, Corporal? Yes, sir.

Why'd you try to take out Garrett with your bare hands, Corporal? The name's J

.W. Stand up, J .W.

I don't know.

Could have sniped him, I guess.

But for what he's done to Bell, I wanted to waste him with my bare hands.

Well, it's too quick.

We'd like to take a look at that package that Bill sent you.

Sorry, Ranger Walker. Even if you bust Jack Garrett, all he's going to do is

hire a bunch of high -priced lawyers and buy himself a not -guilty verdict.

So I've got to kill him, and that's all there is to it.

It says here you have a younger brother and sister.

Yes, sir.

Jesse and Wyatt.

What about them?

They had nothing to do with it.

Well, I'll contact the Marines and let them know that we have Corporal McClain

in custody.

And a name.

I'm going to need a new name. You know, I always liked the name Jake.

Jake Strong.

That's good. Jake Strong.

I said, Master Thea.

No, no, come on.

What do you think, Jack?

No, Sid.

It's exactly what I think.

No, for God's sake, no, please, for God's sake. No, let me find my way out

this thing. I got something you need to know about the guy that jumped you.

All right.

Talk to me. The Marine that jumped you is some kind of hero.

McClane. J .W., I think.

His sister's that FBI undercover chick you whacked.

Bell's brother?

Tough family, these McClanes.

That's a fact. And here's a topper, man.

This McLean guy, he's got some heavy evidence against you. That bell sent him

the mail. So come on, Jack.

For old time's sake.

Just get me off the hook.

It's news I can use.

Okay.

Now you're off the hook forever.

Hey, look, he really is off the hook.

Now getting rid of J .W. McClain's number one on our things to do list.

Ranger Walker, I'm Staff Sergeant Luther Parrish.

I'm here to transfer Corporal McClain back to base.

Would you initial those, please, sir?

I'll bring him up, Walker.

Okay.

Thank you, sir.

And excuse me, but the name Cordell Walker is pretty well known in the

Captain, highly decorated, and now they call this particular officer Nighthawk.

Would you be that Marine, sir?

Ancient history, Sergeant.

Ancient or not, sir, I'd be proud to shake your hand.

I'll drop the sir, Sergeant.

Walker, do fine.

I see you've had your share of combat.

You don't join the Corps just to march in parade, sir.

I'll second that.

So do you know this Corporal McClain? Yes, sir.

I know him professionally from a few run -ins we've had on the base.

McClain doesn't like rules, sir.

You put up a sign that says keep off the grass, he'll be stomping on your lawn.

He's a good Marine in combat.

But back at the garrison, he raises serious hell.

Hey, Sergeant.

I figured they'd send you for this detail.

Regulations.

The Sarge here is a stickler for rules and regulations.

Scuttlebutt says he's got the most important regulations tattooed across...

Throw it, McClane.

Aye, aye, Sarge. Anything you say.

We have to shove off Ranger Walker.

Lane to catch.

Yeah, James Trevette?

Thanks for your assistance.

Pleasure. Good luck, J .W.

Stockyard worker just found Sid Jarvis' body on a pile of manure in Fort Worth.

Marshalls? Dead.

Come on, Sarge. Just this once.

Bend that Marine Corps manual to yours.

All I need is 24 hours.

I do not read you, Corporal. My sister perished.

He killed my sister.

Let those Texas Rangers handle it. If this Garrett is guilty, walk over and

bring him down.

You can depend on it.

These are what I depend on.

Right, McClane.

That's why we're either pinning a medal on you or locking you up in the brig.

out of there jw jesse hey jw what

the hot brother hell do you think you're doing it's good to see you too big

brother he's right you can do long hard time for aiding and abetting an escape

you have to catch the first mister you listen to me mcclay right now you're

up and going awol with the escape custody you're in serious trouble all of

you'll be a key serge

Once we get down the road, we'll call this in, get you some help. Don't do

McClane. Look, Starge, Jack Garrett killed our sister, and I can't let him

away with that. Come on, JW, we have to go now.

So long, sir.

McClane!

McClane!

They left the scene in a late model Bronco, licensed 313 Adam 2 fan.

So you think it was his brother and sister, huh? Had to be. The way they

with each other.

I never lost a prisoner.

I don't like the feeling.

Got the address on McLean's place.

It's way up past Denton. Ranch country.

Let's go check it out.

You mind if I go along?

You mind?

No, why not?

Let's go.

That was our sister too, J .W. Yeah, and we loved her just as much as you did.

So why'd you leave us out to play when you went after this guy?

Why? It's real simple, Wyatt. And if you had a lick of sense, you'd understand.

Well, now you've gone and done it. Wait a minute. Now, who doesn't have a lick

of sense, J .W.? Who? There's no reason in hell why all of us should go to jail.

That's why I did it alone.

Me? I'm the oldest.

It's my responsibility.

And Mom and Pop would have agreed. No, wait. Hold on right there, J .W. Mom and

Pop, God rest them.

They named us all after gunfighters for a good reason. That is right, because

they wanted us to never forget that a McClane would never back down from a

fight. And if you mess with one, you mess with them all.

Absolutely.

Now, like we said before, J .W., Belle was our sister, too.

Whether you like it or not, me and Wyatt, we're dealing ourselves into this

hand.

Okay, Jesse, Wyatt.

In for a penny, in for a pound.

We will stand by each other and get revenge against the man who murdered

Jack Garrett.

And we won't stop until it's done.

So long, Val.

So long, Val. So long, Val.

I love you both.

Love you too, J .W.

Yeah. Now let's roll.

Hang on.

I gotta get the door. It's open.

Don't matter.

Probably won't be coming back anyhow.

Let's go.

Right. Right.

How the hell did he get out? The word is it was his brother and sister who

fucked him up. Oh, yeah, brother and sister.

This freak's probably got a half a dozen maniacs just like him and his family

just itching to put me six feet under. So what do you want me to do?

I want double security around here, and I want you to get out and find this damn

Leatherneck and anyone else that's helping him and bury him. All right.

Tony, let's go.

They took all their weapons.

Most of the canned goods are missing, too.

Could have told you what you find.

This is typical McClane behavior.

Let's check out back.

Rules are made to be broken. Somebody wrongs you, you get revenge. And to hell

with the consequences.

Let's check out the barn.

Right.

Sergeant, how well do you know this guy?

First time I met McClane, he was stripped to his gibby, singing the

-Anthem. Yeah, for real.

I ordered him to put his uniform back on. He took off his skivvies.

Did he just get back from a mission?

Yeah, but regulations don't take that into account.

He took their horses.

Yeah, probably.

Jake

Reed.

Who's that?

Gareth Enforcer.

There's nobody inside, boss.

Let's check out the barn.

Need something?

Am I taking these guys in?

No, let them go.

One of these days, Walker.

Why wait, Reed?

How about right now?

Okay, got your tongue, Reed?

I think I like the way you Texas Rangers work.

Yeah, well, I've heard some things about the Marines, too.

What do you got?

Well, I'm trying to figure out why they took the horses.

Now, look here.

Here's Garrett's ranch.

All roads leading in are from the south, east, and west side.

Garrett will have those roads covered, too. Right.

No roads on the north side.

Mm -mm.

Yeah, it's all swamp and sagebrush.

So that's why they took the horses.

Strong possibility.

Think that's where we'll find them, McClane?

Let's go find out.

Well, this is loco.

Chopped through all this cotwood and briar so we could sneak up on them boys.

Take them by surprise.

Local or not, it's the way it's going to be.

But that's going to take us forever.

Now, boys, settle down.

We've got to get going here. Now, I suppose you've got a better idea. Yeah.

Charge. Oh, well, now, that's tactical.

Come on. We've got to get going. Look, we'll go straight down this road right

through Garrett's front door.

He'll never know what hit him. And neither will we, Wyatt.

He's got an army covering those main roads.

Yeah, because you went off without me and Jess, and you missed him.

Well, now we do it my way.

Only one thing's going to settle this.

Well, that is just fine with me. Fellas, this is stupid.

I can try that crap again, huh?

Don't do this, Wyatt. I'm going to hurt you.

Come on.

Now, how do you like that?

Give me them stickers.

Well, hang on. Let me get them.

Yeah.

Is that better? Yeah, that's much better. Good.

You immature jugheads are going to kill each other before we ever even get to

Jack Garrett.

Wait till I get in the Marines and learn some of that tricky dick style of

fighting.

And we'll see who comes out on top.

Marines don't take fellas.

Who's a felon?

I ain't no felon. Well, you're gonna be after we take care of Mr. Jack Garrett.

What?

Oh.

Yeah, I forgot.

Whoa.

Chopper.

Walker, I think we're going to hit. Look.

Wait a minute. I got the girl.

Where is she?

About a half mile from the drop -off point. She's after a spooked horse.

What the hell is a police chopper doing over in the Northwood?

I'll bet they're looking for the McLeans.

You get them before the police do.

Got it. Let's go. Move, move, move!

You bad girl, what are you doing?

Hold it there. Stay there, girl.

You're creeping.

Settle down.

We'll come back for you soon.

Don't go anywhere.

Walker, you got a Humphrey coming in your direction.

Yeah, I hear him.

Jesse ran right into them.

We gotta help her. Only way to do that is to take out a Ranger and a Marine.

And I'm not feeling up to that. Are you, Wyatt?

I'm here for Garrett, not them two.

Let's get out of here. We can bust Jesse loose later.

Right behind him.

Parrish. Thanks, Roger.

J .W. and his brother got away.

Watch him, Parrish.

I'll go get Jeffney.

appreciate your cooperation.

No, I like this good cop, bad cop.

Yeah, me too. I've got a statement.

So how come you always get to be the good cop?

Because I'm the good guy.

Because you're the good.

Look, I'm going to go down to Alex's office and see if we've got enough for a

raid on Garrett's.

Good idea.

You're always the good guy. guy thanks sure

i tried talking to her she won't say anything

What?

I'm not going to tell you where my brothers are.

I can understand that.

You're family.

That's right.

Glad you can see where I'm coming from.

I can see where you're coming from, but it's a real shame.

Shame? Yeah.

We've got all the evidence we need to arrest Jack Garrett.

But your brothers don't know that, do they?

It's a real shame.

Your brothers are putting their necks on a noose for nothing.

Where are they, Jessie?

I don't know what to do.

Listen to your heart.

Where are they hiding?

They're not at the ranch.

Jessie, your brothers are going to die.

Jack Garrett's waiting for them to come to the ranch.

And he will kill them.

Can you live with that?

Daddy's old hunting cabin.

Where is it?

I can't tell you.

But I can show you.

Let's go.

She must be dead tired.

It's amazing.

You sit across from her, break every rule of interrogation, and in less than

minutes she's talking.

That's because she wanted to talk.

Without me, eh, big brother?

This is a kamikaze trip, Wyatt.

Sometimes my favorite times.

But you've got to stay back to get Jess out of the slam.

The way this trip shapes up, whoever goes in ain't coming back.

You know, yesterday you already called this off.

What's with the change of heart?

I don't know.

I just got to thinking about Belle and all and how sweet she was.

Anyway.

I had a dream last night about her and Mom and Pop.

You woke up and you knew you had to do it.

I think so.

I know, though.

Kick butt and take some names.

Looks like it's going to be your way after all, Wyatt.

Can I talk to him first?

Okay.

They're gone. I gotta be headed out for Garrett's ranch.

Go ahead.

What's your ETA at the Garrett Ranch?

Not for at least 10 or 15.

Okay, the McLeans are on their way.

I love you, Wyatt.

I love you too, J .W.

Let's do it.

Let's do it.

Yeah!

Not that good.

Damn. We're clear here. I got him.

All right. Let him.

Walker and the Marine.

Stop them. Got it. Move. McClane must have given them the evidence.

Jesse, just who you with, sis?

Up for us, but Walker's going to bust Garrett anyhow. I don't see why you two

need to get in any more trouble.

You better listen to her, boys.

Hold it! Hold it, J .W.!

Come on, J .W.

Let him go.

It's not worth it.

You've got a long life ahead of you.

Come on.

Come on.

Think about it.

You're right. He's not worth it.

You missed your chance, jerk.

No.

It's just going to take a little longer, though.

There's four pictures on that.

Of him, his sidekick, killing some other guy with a mustache.

Bill must have taken it with some camera that works off a computer.

Digital.

Garrett, this makes you the jerk.

Paul, police.

Thanks, Ranger Walker.

I've learned a valuable lesson here today.

You can't take the law into your own hands.

It is a valuable lesson, J .W.

So what's going to happen to Jesse and Wyatt for helping me escape?

Well, do you think you want to tell them?

We talked to Judge Ortiz into community service and probation for you.

Oh, that's great.

Well, what about J .W.?

Yeah, I ain't taking no community service at J -Dub's. Stop it, cowboy.

I spoke with your CO corporal, and he agreed that sometimes a Marine's

is more important than his tactic.

Officially, you have been on a seven -day leave.

What?

You mean no AWOL?

Are you hard of hearing, McClain? I said you've been on a seven -day leave. Now,

if I were you, I would get my tail back to the base pronto.

Oh, by the book parish.

Okay, Sarge, okay.

Thanks again, Ranger Walker.

You bet, J .W.

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

That's why the Rangers love you.
