Okay, I'll bet and I'll take point. Remember, we're dealing with Rafer Cobb.

Who's always armed and always dangerous.

Last time on Walker, Texas Ranger.

Out of my way or she dies!

Drop the gun!

No telling how long he was locked in that closet.

They gave him food.

And they wouldn't let him out for the bathroom.

All he does is hold on to that picture.

Nice to meet you, Lucas.

AIDS?

Yeah.

Rafer, where is Lucas? We had to leave him.

So you just left my baby? Lucas is being transferred to the county foster care

facility. Would you explain that to him?

We're out of here. Send me whatever needs to be signed.

Isn't there anything they can do for Lucas?

I'm afraid his condition is too advanced.

Can't you see all this little boy lost stuff is just a trick to pull you into

the open? Both you and the kid will die before Reaper Cobb goes down.

We're partners.

That's right.

Partners stick together.

True to the end.

True to the end.

Cash in the bank safety deposit box would be enough for me to... What the

The cash key and the bank ID are gone.

You gave it to the kid? You gave the key to my half million to that damn kid?

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

wrong from right.

Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you, thinking all you

do is gonna see.

When you're in Texas, look behind you, cause that's where the ranger's

gonna be.

It's all right. It's all right.

It's okay.

It's okay, Lucas.

Alex, I'm worried about Lucas.

His nightmares are getting worse.

It's only been a couple of weeks since his mother's death.

I mean, it's actually natural for him to be depressed or anxious about things.

Yeah, maybe. You know, I know a really good child psychiatrist.

What is it, Walker?

Are you all right?

Yeah.

I was saying, maybe it's time for Lucas to see a psychiatrist.

I think I'm going to try something a little more primitive first.

You ready, Luca?

Tervet, I don't know how long we'll be gone.

Take all the time you need. We'll hold down the fort.

Thanks. Cordell, I sure appreciate you letting me stay here while they

exterminate my house.

Them damn termites about to take me off.

No problem, C .D.

Thank you.

Well, I hope your primitive approach works.

Thanks.

Here's your jacket.

That's all right.

You have a great trip.

Let me see.

Where was I the last time we were talking about the reservation?

Uncle Ray was teaching you how to be an Indian.

About making bows and arrows and writing and learning about animals and things.

Oh, that's right. I learned how to be a Cherokee on the outside.

And the next thing was about spirits and ghosts and stuff, right?

Mm -hmm.

Now I had to learn how to be a Cherokee on the inside.

The physical part of being a Cherokee was easy.

The rest would be much harder.

It's time for a change in your training, nephew.

The Indian in you is ready to start on the path to manhood.

Teach me, then.

I can only teach you so much.

I'll take you to White Eagle.

He's a tribal medicine man.

White Eagle was a legend among the Cherokee.

He lived out in the wilderness with the spirits of the land and sky.

With their help, he sought the true path.

For a young man, the idea of meeting White Eagle was really scary.

True path?

What is it?

Fighting and Indian stuff like that?

No, there's more to Indian stuff than fighting, Lucas.

It's learning how to train your spirit the same way you train your body.

How does that help you?

Well, for one thing, it helps you control fear.

How you doing?

Hey, Blackfeather. Good to see you, Big Tom.

Washoe, did you come back for another spirit ride?

Good for the soul, getting out where the air is clean, huh? Not this time, Sam.

I want you to meet my young partner here.

Lucas, this is Sam Coyote.

Welcome.

Adawayole. Welcome.

What does Adawayole mean?

It means...

Little visitor, Lucas.

Pleased to meet you, Mr. Coyote.

The pleasure's mine, Lucas.

But call me Sam, okay?

Okay.

Is Johnny Redberry here, too?

I told Lucas about me growing up on the reservation.

I see.

Well, Lucas, Johnny crossed the river about five years back.

So did my mom.

A little while ago.

I'll explain later.

Come on.

Let's get the horses out of the trailer there. It's been a long ride.

Bet they'd like to stretch their legs.

This is laying heavy on you, Washoe, isn't it?

I don't know what to do, Sam.

Lucas deserves to know about his condition.

I just don't know how to tell him.

You'll know when the time is right.

That's why I came home.

To figure things out.

I could always think more clearly here.

You know, he's such a good boy.

Smart as a whip.

And he's got a heart as big as... I remember a kid who used to

run for miles when he got all filled up with things he couldn't fight.

Hey.

Considering the mother's drug use, the boy was no doubt born with it.

No telling how long you would lock, lock, lock.

I will.

I will.

Born with it.

I'm afraid his condition is too advanced.

I'm afraid his condition is too advanced.

The thing with Lucas is starting to really get to you. The thing with Lucas

starting to really get to you. Ranger Walker, I know that Lucas has AIDS. I

that Lucas has AIDS. I got the whole life, right?

I know that Lucas has AIDS.

I got the whole life, right?

Thanks, Sam.

No problem.

How far are we going, Walker?

Not too far, Lucas.

Is it where you ran to the other night?

Sam told me when I woke up and asked where you were.

Is it the same place?

Yeah, it's a place called Bitterwater.

That's medicine country.

White Eagle's old stomping grounds.

You ready to ride?

I'm ready, Walker.

Why are you going up there, Walker?

White Eagle's not there anymore.

It's just important that Lucas and I go there.

I don't know why, but it is.

The Great Spirit watch over you, little visitor.

Look over there, Lucas.

That's a coyote.

They're real survivors.

Why's that?

Well, they've learned how to live in the city as well as the country.

Is this where you and Uncle Ray came to meet with White Eagle?

A little further up.

I remember the first time Uncle Ray took me to meet White Eagle.

I was shaking in my moccasins.

Well, this is it, Lucas.

Bitter water.

Is this where you met White Eagle for the first time?

Mm -hmm.

White Eagle and Will Conroy.

Is that the ranger's name?

Yeah, he and White Eagle were good friends.

After a while, Will and I became good friends.

I guess that's why I became a Texas Ranger.

When I grow up, I want to be a Texas Ranger, just like you.

Well, Lucas...

The Rangers would be proud to have you.

You can see all around from here.

Yeah, that's the first thing I noticed, too.

When you are troubled, find a place where you can see north, south, east,

west. And no matter where that place may be, you will be the center of the

world.

Center of the world?

Part of the world.

Twisted and braided like the thread of a blanket.

Different colors for different people and animals, but all part of the same

thing.

And even the biggest problem will shrink down to its proper size.

That's when you know there's nothing to fear, Lucas.

Well, enough storytelling.

Let's set up camp.

Hey, look,

Walker, a shooting star.

Yeah, it sure is.

Did you make a wish?

Just to be like this.

With you.

Telling stories.

You mean not a million dollars or anything?

Nope. Just this.

Talking. Not here.

You want to tell me about your dreams, Lucas?

Did it work?

What White Eagle told you.

How did it help you? White Eagle taught me to fight and conquer whatever it was

inside my dreams.

As if it were really happening?

Well, if you're scared, it really is happening.

But what were you afraid of?

I was afraid of the man responsible.

For your parents dying?

Mm -hmm.

It's Rafer Cobb you're dreaming about, isn't it, Lucas?

Lucas! Let me go! Let me go!

Stop being such a bullish little boy.

And stop squirming so.

Okay, Lucas. It's okay.

It's all right.

Lucas.

Meet White Eagle.

Jeez.

Jeez.

It's a good white man's word.

Useful to describe many things.

It's good to see you again, Washoe.

It's been a long time.

Yes, it has, White Eagle.

I'm glad you're here.

I'm here because of you.

Where have you been?

Let's go back to camp.

And I'll tell you all about it.

Come on, little visitor.

How do you know about little visitor?

Well, White Eagle knows many things that we don't understand, Lucas.

These shoes?

I got them in L .A.

They were sitting on the side of a road called Mulholland, just waiting for me

to pick them up.

And then I had a dream about Washoe here and heard the call

of a little visitor.

What kind of call?

It was a call for help.

Do not be afraid, little mister.

Washu and I are your friends.

Your fight is our fight.

Isn't it true, Washu?

That's true, White Eagle.

Your enemy is our enemy, Lucas.

Do you believe that?

Yes, I do.

Then why don't you tell us about your nightmare?

Well, like you said last night.

It's Mr.

Cobb.

But I can't get away.

So he jumps on me like a big shark or a lion or something.

And he gets me all up.

But I'm dead.

You two are a lot alike.

Same for you.

Thinking you are alone and helpless to fight back.

What cured Washoe when he was a boy?

It's the right cure for you, Lucas.

What's that?

Sweat lodge ceremony.

We will help you scrub clean inside where your soul lives.

I don't know.

It'll be fine, Lucas.

Why don't you help me build the sweat lodge?

And I'll gather the wood and sweet grass to burn.

Smells good.

It's sweet grass, Lucas.

Great spirit, it is White Eagle again, with his brother Washo, who brings to

little visitor for healing.

Like being hypnotized? Like I saw on TV?

Something like that.

Close your eyes, brothers.

Go into your dream, little visitor, and we will be there to help when the battle

begins.

Walker?

It's okay, Luca.

Just relax and concentrate on the dream.

Just look for us.

We'll be right there with you.

It's not when you die.

It's how you live that's important.

Well said, Washoe.

Here is the enemy.

And his name is Fear.

Okay!

This is just a dream!

Sigma's life... You could die in both places.

Prepare yourself for battle out of Waioli.

You sure did, okay.

What did my mom die of, Walker?

What was it, really?

She died of AIDS, Lucas.

AIDS?

Do you know what that is?

I heard something about it.

My mom has it.

Does that mean I have it too?

That means I'm gonna die.

Like mom.

It's okay, Walker.

It's like... It's not when you die.

It's how you live.

I want to learn everything as long as I can, okay, Walker?

Anything you want, Luka.

I know, Washu, that Arroyole will soon cross the river.

I have spoken to the Great Spirit, and he told me that he brought you into

Ottawa Lowly's life.

You prepared him for that journey.

Yeah.

Lucas, you ready?

This is for you, Ottawa Lowly.

for being a brave warrior.

Geez.

Yes, geez.

And always remember, you are part of a great circle.

Earth, sky, fire, water.

Life and death. But there is nothing to fear.

Many human beings walk this path.

Alone.

But with the spirits of many brothers and sisters all around.

I'll remember.

Bye. Bye, White Eagle.

Boy has grown up.

Be a warrior.

Yes.

Thanks to you, White Eagle.

Farewell, Russell.

If I see you again, good.

If I don't, I'll meet you at the campfire in the sky.

Farewell, White Eagle.

Way, way, way ahead.

Way, way, way ahead.

Way, way, way ahead.

Seems so much shorter than a week, but in some ways, a lot longer.

I know what you mean.

It's okay, Aunt Alex.

I'm a man now.

Oh.

Thank you.

That reservation still standing?

Barely. And how you doing, little partner?

Fine. And it's little visitor now.

Adewoyoli's how you say it in Cherokee.

Oh. Pardon my French, but I'll be damned.

Walker told me I have AIDS.

He explained it all.

You guys don't have to be careful anymore, okay?

Sure, honey.

No problem, big guy.

None whatsoever.

Hey, listen.

I made us some lunch. Why don't we go inside?

Great, I'm starving. Okay.

One brave little guy you got there, Cordell.

Yeah, he sure is, C .D.

Might need to be a little braver.

Why's that?

Rayford Cobb's been spotted in the area.

Stayed at a motel about three miles from here.

When I found out and busted in, he was gone.

Three days after you all left, someone busted into Lucas's room, ramsacked him.

I'm trying to figure out, is Cobb's motivation for staying so close?

That's what we've got to figure out, Jimmy.

He's looking for something.

With half the police in the country after it?

Yeah, why not just take off from Mexico?

What does he want?

I don't know. That's what we've got to find out.

Whatever it is.

Lucas was involved.

Is anything wrong yet, Alex?

Wrong? No, everything's fine.

Why are they talking so serious and all?

Oh.

Ranger business.

You know that kind of talk.

I have been doing some checking, and I found out that you have a birthday

up.

I guess so.

Well, I would like to throw you a little birthday party.

Maybe even a big one.

What do you think about that idea?

I don't know.

I've never had a birthday party before.

Well, you are going to have one this year.

One heck of a birthday party.

Okay, and Alex, if you say so.

I say so.

I really say so.

Here you go.

Something on your mind?

Last night I was watching TV, and I saw these people who had AIDS.

And they were talking about it to kids in schools and stuff.

I want to do the same thing.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

White Eagle told me if there's something your heart wants, it's worth doing.

Well, if that's what your heart wants, then we'll do it.

Hi.

My name's Lucas M.

And I have AIDS.

I'd like to talk to you about it.

I want to set you straight

on all the facts.

Lots of people still think you can get AIDS by playing with someone who has...

Well, you can't.

The main thing to remember is that there's a real big difference between

safe and just being scared.

Is there anything to say, Walter?

Just that I'm proud of you, Lucas.

What?

Hey, Ranger.

Hey, watch it!

Sorry.

Isn't it great?

Yeah. Jimmy, what time do you have?

Four to past two.

You reckon those kids are going to show up, Alex?

They all RSVP'd, yes.

How you doing, Herb?

Glad you could make it.

Well, to tell you the truth, we wasn't coming to your party today because we

were concerned about Lucas having, well, about him having AIDS, mixing with our

kids. Then that's when the kids themselves here got into it and kind of

straight.

You know, we didn't feel like a bunch of fools for being so ignorant about this.

We told Daddy you can't get age by being friends with somebody.

Here, Lucas, let's go play.

Come on in.

We got ice cream, cakes, video favors. Come on in.

I'm having a party.

What is it?

Well, open it and see.

I'm having a party.

It wasn't here, so I know you took it with you.

The passkey and ID for the safety deposit box.

I know your mom gave it to you.

Where is it?

Ah, so you're a tough guy now, huh?

Hey!

That was for Lucas.

This is for me.

This must have been what he was after.

What?

You worn out, partner?

Drowns are awful long and boring.

Boring?

Giving fearless testimony against a career criminal like Rafer Cobb?

Oh, he's just a little guy. Right, Washoe?

Right. Good night, Alex.

Good night, sweetheart.

You did great today.

Good night, Walker. Good night. I'll be in there in a minute and tuck you in.

All right.

You okay?

Just a little tickle in my throat. Good night.

Good night.

How's the T -cell count been?

Low.

I'm going to see Dr. Woods tomorrow.

Let's go make that coffee.

I'm going to take you to the hospital.

I'll be right back.

Walker, please.

Can I say goodbye to Little Ranger?

You'll be right back.

I know.

I just want to let him know it's okay.

So long, little ranger.

I'll see you soon.

Love you.

God, in my loneliness,

yell my cry.

Why one so young and tender, crushed

like a rose in December?

Lucas loved this place very much.

This is where we want to be.

I

wish I could

tell you what all this means.

Someone so young and innocent died.

All I know is that He gave back more to this world than I ever

got.

We all travel in many

journeys in our lives.

Some more difficult than others.

Face your journey with.

Strength and courage.

I'm going to miss you.

Flickering light, a brave face,

cold and wide voice, hushed by heaven's right,

all too soon.

Fool am I to ground this life meaning to dreams, dreams

not worth dreaming.
