Oh, hold on.

There.

Oh, no. The jackpot.

Go.

Go, Vince.

Go.

Quick. Hurry.

Hurry.

Martha!

laying out the helmet and pants in Don Meredith's locker, and that's when he

told me.

What's that, Josh?

He's telling me he's not gonna be playing next year.

Can you believe that, Jimmy?

A tough kid like Don Meredith?

Don Meredith did retire.

No.

Yes. Really?

Yes, sir.

When was this?

Uh, 30 years ago.

Will somebody please tell me what I was talking about before I lost those 30

years? You were trying to explain why you had asked Jimmy to come out with me

today, Daddy.

Yeah, right.

There was something I wanted to talk to Jimmy about.

And I put it down on this tape recorder you gave me, Paula.

And I put it over here.

And I put it in here.

I have no idea.

I mean, I...

I think I did.

No.

Go away.

Go away.

Hey, you want to give us a couple of minutes?

How are things going, Josh?

They treating you all right around here?

I don't know, Jerry.

Half the time I can't remember what I had for breakfast.

This Alzheimer's is good, isn't it?

Daddy pleased him.

It's all right if you don't remember. Remember, Josh.

We love you. We'll do the remembering.

When it comes to your time with the cowboys, you just call on Trevette, all

right? I just called on Gola on Trevette.

Thank you.

I'm sorry I wasted your time.

I'm coming way out here.

No, nobody wasted my time, Paul.

Listen, for four years...

Your father was more to me than just the equipment manager on America's team,

right?

It's not fair that something terrible like this happens to someone like...

Did I say not fair?

Yeah, you did, but that's all right, you know. Sometimes life's not fair.

Yeah, but it doesn't make it any easier for me to accept.

Hey, you old bat. No dancing in the hall.

Hey. Hey.

Don't you think you're being a little rough there, sir?

Just doing my job, Ranger.

Time for her meds and all she wants to do is dance.

The eternal dance of life.

Stop dancing and you shall return to dust post haste.

Would you care to dance, young man?

Yes, I would.

Maybe you should take your medication.

Oh.

Okay. If you say so.

Last night was the ninth patient we've lost since we began the new round of

testing. Shh, shh, shh.

The bedside men are running here to do some cruising.

Yeah, I see that.

We've got to slow down, Janet.

I am very concerned.

Someone is bound to catch on.

Relax, John. Nobody's going to catch anything.

We're talking about old people here.

Old people die.

It's a fact of life.

But Janet... Don't Janet me.

I've staked everything on this.

My professional reputation, every cent I've got, all invested in your research,

all because of your promise that we would have a product for the

companies, a product, John, that would guarantee us millions.

And how long did you say it would take, John?

A year.

It's been almost two.

Alzheimer's has proven to be much more genetically complex than I thought.

I'm doing my best. Then you'll just have to find a new path.

But failure isn't an option.

What?

That's a good boy.

In the eyes of a ranger, the unsuspecting stranger

had better know the truth of wrong from right.

Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

Any hope you do, he's gonna see.

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

Because that's where the Rangers are gonna be.

I went to see Paul's dad this week.

He wanted to talk to me about something.

About what?

I don't know. He says, Paula, go find Jimmy.

Bring him up here. I want to talk to him about something.

I go up there.

He forgets.

Do you know what he wanted? No.

I think it's serious, though.

You know, and another thing.

I believe that Cherokee stuff of yours is beginning to rub off on me. You know,

like when you get that weird feeling?

Might be crazy, but it ends up being true.

Did you get that feeling at quiet rest?

Absolutely, right in the middle of my shoulder blades, like something's wrong.

Something's bad.

Jeez, Walker, man, this is frustrating.

Yeah, Jimmy.

What?

Yeah, I'm sorry.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

So we're talking about it, and now this happens.

Paula's father?

Josh died last night.

People at the nursing home say it was a heart attack.

She wants me to run her up there.

Taylor, I'm sorry.

Alzheimer's can lead to intense depression and melancholia.

We see that here all the time. Don't we, Dr.

Daniels? Yeah, absolutely.

We have found that this high level of stress can result in cardiac arrest and

sometimes even death.

What do you think, Doctor?

Daniels? Hmm? What do you think?

Oh, well, I agree with Dr. Monroe.

Cardiac arrest brought on by an acute anxiety attack.

Well, we'll see what the medical examiner says after the autopsy.

By all means, Miss Leonard, if it will make you feel better.

Yes, it will make me feel better, yes.

Well, then, we'll arrange to... I'll have the coroner pick up the body.

Thank you.

Let's get you out of here.

We are so sorry for your loss.

My God, she's so beautiful.

An autopsy?

Of all the rotten luck, a meddling Texas Ranger.

None of the other families even thought to ask about an autopsy.

What if a new compound shows up during the autopsy?

Won't prove a thing.

So you really think something's wrong at Quiet Rest? That's what my nose is

telling me.

Yeah, well, here.

What's this?

I ran a check on all sudden deaths at senior care facilities for the last

years. So you took my Cherokee seriously?

Well, you never ignore the spirit talk of another man's soldier, Beth. Check

last page.

Quiet Rest's death rate is 27 % higher than any other comparable facility.

Yeah.

Just the guys I was looking for. I just finished the autopsy.

Joshua Patrick Leonard died of an embolism, basically an air bubble that

the bloodstream and somehow found its way to his heart. It's a freaky thing.

Nursing home said it was a heart attack.

They were wrong.

Or they lied to me.

Could it be homicide?

Could have been, but considering the number of injections he was receiving,

impossible to prove.

But... I did find a trace of a substance closely resembling PSL -130 in the

bloodstream. What is that exactly?

PSL -130 is an experimental drug banned by the FDA. Before it was outlawed, it

was used as a counteragent against Alzheimer's disease.

So why was it banned?

Well, the people using the drug showed signs of improvement that...

The side effects were devastating.

Significantly higher rates of strokes and heart attacks.

Unexplained seizures.

You mean exactly what seems to be happening at quiet rest.

Exactly.

I think, Sonny, this is plain as the nose on your sweet face.

Those quacks at quiet rest were using human beings as guinea pigs.

Josh found out about it. They put a bubble in his heart to shut him up. P

that is an awful big assumption with no proof.

Well, actually, Trevette, I think P .D.'s on to something here. What about

evidence? Go out and dig it up.

There's no mystery to it, sweetheart.

C .D., could I talk to you for a minute?

Sure.

Well, you know, I've noticed that you've been looking extremely tired lately.

I've noticed it, too.

Tired? Yeah, like working all the hours around here is starting to get to you.

And I think the thing you need right now is a good rest.

Go someplace where people can take care of you.

Are you out of your mind?

I need someone to take care of me like a hog needs a side saddle.

I know what you guys are up to.

You're going to send me in deep cover out there, aren't you?

But wait a minute.

That's an old folks' home.

Well, can you pretend to act old, you know? Oh, you know I can. Remember,

when you put me in deep cover? Yeah, I do remember. That's why we want you for

this assignment.

I can do it.

What's the setup, guys?

You're going to be a new patient. You're going in as my grumpy old father -in

-law.

Suffering from the early stages of Alzheimer's.

I can do it.

Who would be the daughter of this grumpy old man?

Guess who?

I'm game.

But there is one thing.

What's that?

You've got to go in pregnant.

Pregnant?

Dr. Monroe?

Oh!

Dr. Hayes, I didn't expect you back from your tour of the facility so soon. How

is your father doing?

Well, an orderly showing him around the grounds.

Oh, Miss Hayes, please. Won't you come in and have a seat?

May I get you something to drink?

Oh, no, thank you.

Just sitting down would be great.

Well, is it a boy or a girl?

A boy.

I mean, we didn't find out. We wanted it to be a surprise.

Paul here wants a boy, and I want a girl.

Well, how far along are you?

Eight months.

Oh. Well, in a month, you'll know.

Yes.

And that's exactly the reason why we wanted to put... I mean, admit my

father here.

Yes. I was reading the admittance papers.

He is rather feisty, isn't he?

It's really the Alzheimer's. I mean, he's a wonderful man. Of course, but I

understand you would be concerned with the baby on the way, about his violent

and erratic behavior.

We'll take good care of him. Miss Huggins, believe me.

You have to think of the baby. You're doing the right thing.

Wow.

Wow.

How exciting.

I don't know where you're pushing me, son. The exit to this mausoleum is this

way. We're going to your room, Mr. Carlton, not to the exit. No, no, I

have a room. I don't want a room here. I don't want to stay in this loony bin.

No way.

No how.

I don't dig it when people give me a hard time.

And I especially don't dig it when old people give me a hard time.

You understand, Mr.

Carlton?

I understand.

That's good.

As if you keep your mouth shut.

Then I won't have to hurt you.

Got it?

I got it.

Finally got me under lock and key.

Finally got me on ice, eh?

It's for your own good, Dad.

Dad? Don't you call me Dad, you snake in the grass.

He's a snake in the grass.

Snake in the grass.

Daddy, daddy, please.

Snake in the grass.

Part of the role.

Well, I'll say.

These pea -brained bullies push around all these old folks that can't defend

themselves. I'll tell you, Cordell, it's burning me, and that's the truth. Just

don't show it, C .D. No, I won't. I'm just as anxious to get these guys as you

are.

Well, you know what you're looking for. Any paperwork that's going to verify our

suspicion about their illegal testing. Or a sample of that PSL -130 that was in

Josh. And any kind of testimony that I can squeeze out of these old folks.

Yeah. Now take this.

And this.

Well, I can understand a cellular phone.

They could monitor a call, but... Cordell, is this a dangerous... I need a

Bible. There's a transmitter in the binding. Just press holy.

Oh.

Well,

it works. Good.

Okay, be careful.

I will. It can depend on me, you know that.

All right, you.

Bye -bye.

And remember, you're old.

Smart aleck.

Everything okay?

Yeah, he's in.

Boy, you were right about that place, Jimmy.

I do not like it.

Hello? Is he going to be okay?

Well, he's an old pro to that.

Yeah, that's right. He's not in the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame for nothing.

That's right.

Thank you.

Of the nine patients that died under suspicious circumstances, five of the

families have agreed to exhume the bodies.

We'll just try to get court orders for the remaining four.

And if we can find traces of the PSL -130, give us probable cause for a

warrant. Yeah.

Listen, God, I hate to bring this up, but all these conversations

we've been having lately, they're so one -sided.

Maybe it's me.

My ears. I don't hear so well anymore.

But I seem to be the only one doing the talking.

And after all these weeks, and everything that's been going on in here,

I'm beginning to wonder, are you even listening?

Thank you, thank you. I won't let you down.

One of those little plastic toys, you know, the kind you get at a fast food

restaurant.

Sold for 26 ,000 bucks.

Little piece of plastic.

Man, I need to start eating out more often.

Yum.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Wait, I just thought the ending was better here.

Would you help me?

Help me, please.

Help me, help me. Would somebody help me? Please help me.

Wait a minute. Calm down. Are you feeling all right? Are you okay?

He's fine.

He's one of the patients.

Come on, Mr. Wilson. It's time for your medication.

Oh, my God.

I do rumba.

I do tango.

Oh, I know them all.

Would you like to dance?

You do the tuna?

The old bat?

Come on, everybody. Let's show her how to do the tuna.

That's enough, Fisher.

Why don't you sit and watch some TV, Maisie?

Sorry.

To stop dancing is to return to dust post -haste.

Oh, Dr.

Daniels. Dr. Daniels. Yes, Mr.

Collingwood. That new injection that you gave me, it's causing me terrible

headaches and makes me nauseous.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that. I know, I know. You said there would be side

effects. But these are getting pretty bad.

Mr. Collinswood, you remembered I mentioned side effects.

Isn't that a definite improvement for you?

Yes. That was almost a week ago. And I remembered clear

as a bell. That stuff you're using is working.

Yeah.

I really remembered.

Clear as a bell.

Get out of my way, you nutty old broad! Out of my way!

And no more!

I ain't kidding around, space girl, you understand?

Need some help, Derek?

He doesn't, but you might.

Walker. Hey, Cordell.

How you doing, CD?

I don't have a thing to go to court with. Not yet, at least.

But they're definitely trying out new drugs on patients.

I can't prove the drugs are the illegal kind, not until I get inside a certain

locked room.

You be careful.

Oh, don't you worry about me, Cordell. I'm sharp as ever, probably sharper.

I know you are. Still be careful.

I'll give you a call tomorrow.

Okay.

Who are you, Mr. Carleton?

I beg your pardon, madam.

You don't belong in here, so who are you? I have no idea what you're talking

about. I overheard most of your conversation on that cell phone of

I'm not stupid, so I assume you're the law.

I understand your reluctance, but I've been here for weeks now, and I

know the difference from them. Poor souls who are real and those who are

And you, sweetheart, you are not.

The way you talk, you aren't either.

Flatterer.

You detained that orderly so I could get those keys, didn't you?

And did you get the keys?

Yes, I did.

Marvelous!

You know, I've been in here so many weeks, and I never had the right chance

pull it off.

Like you, I concluded if a room is continually locked, there's got to be

very important evidence.

Where did it go?

Wear my glasses, you loony twos. Go crazy. Oh, orderly Fisher.

What do you think you're doing there, space girl?

I'm dancing.

Who are these men?

Where did they come from? Shut up, Carlton.

I want to see Norma. Come on, come on, space girl. It's medicine time.

I want my baby.

Freak. Right on the head.

Pop.

Whoops.

What darn engine is going... You

can't do this!

Take it easy, old man. It ain't gonna hurt much.

I'm a Texas Ranger.

I'm a Texas Ranger.

I'm a Texas Ranger.

I'm a Texas Ranger.

I'm a Texas Ranger.

I'm a Texas Ranger. I'm a Texas Ranger.

We are not making progress here.

We're back to square one.

Where are you taking me?

Over here with the other geezers. I don't want to go over there.

Talk.

I don't want to go over there.

Fine, you stupid old fool.

Why don't you sit out here and rot for all I care? I don't like you.

Go whatever way you want.

All right.

I'll be right there.

I'll hold on one second.

Cordell?

Yeah, it's me. Hey, CD.

We lost one last night. I'm sorry. Who was it?

Collingwood.

Yeah, the official line is it's a stroke.

And it may well be.

But I think it originated in a lab.

Listen, CD, you be careful.

Yeah.

Right.

Adios.

Macy.

Careful or I'll push her out on the ground, Mr.

Carlton. I'd be delighted.

No,

don't worry. I'll take care of her.

She's just a woman.

You stay here on the shore.

Come on. You heard her. Come on, Macy. Tell me your story. How did you get

Well, my best friend.

Helen Joy had Alzheimer's.

Physically, she was strong as a horse. We used to go dancing every weekend at

the Astoria Ball.

Oh, how Helen loved to dance.

Then it got where she couldn't live alone, so her family decided to move her

here.

I helped them make the decision.

I thought it was best for Helen.

Three weeks later, she was dead.

What about her?

After she died, I started remembering some of the odd things that she told me

about the death cart in the middle of the night and all the new drugs

that... Nice Dr.

Daniels was trying out on her. It went undercover, Macy.

Yeah. To Dr. Monroe and the staff, all of the patients here are exactly the

same.

A bunch of old guinea pigs.

Now, when are you going to use those keys that you stole?

Tonight, before they can change the locks.

I'm C .D. Parker.

Captain C .D. Parker, retired Texas Ranger.

There's no such thing as retired Texas Ranger. Even I know that.

Come on, Macy. We better get out of here.

Deputy DA Cahill already has copies.

Everybody assumed had significant amounts of PSL -130 and other substances

we haven't even identified, though they appear to be other versions of the same

drug. Looks like you have probable cause.

Great.

Walker. Walker, it's Alice. Is Kim there?

Yes, she is. She gave us the lowdown.

How soon can you get the warrants?

I want to get the CD out of there as soon as I can.

Absolutely. I'm going to start waking up Judget.

Okay, thanks.

Wake up, Mr. Carlton.

It's time for your shot.

Hey, I said wake up, you old goat.

The hell?

Have you found anything yet?

Go to your room.

I'll wait for you.

Go to your room now.

let go hey old man what you doing huh i'm looking for ice cream

i like ice cream every night i like ice cream ice cream you scream everybody

The Lord ain't going to help you now, old man.

So, what's your story?

I don't remember.

Are you with the police or pharmaceutical companies? I don't

Nobody's going to harm you or Maisie here.

What could we possibly gain?

Billions of dollars.

You piece of human garbage.

You'll do anything.

You kill people.

Well, then.

Fine.

Draw up a lysergic acid phenylate and Deptron cocktail.

That should take your mind off things permanently.

Listen to me, lady doctor. I'm a Texas Ranger, and pretty soon you're going to

be hip, deep, and lawman out here.

That's why he didn't talk.

He's been stalling to keep us here. Hurry up. Kill him.

He's stalling now just to save his sweet old... Dr. Monroe, the law.

You better tell your men that if they can't take care of this, they're all

to end up back in prison.

Give him the shot.

Janet.

Give him the shot, and I'll shred the experiment record.

But freaks.

You all right, Petey? Yeah, I'm fine.

We'll talk to Monroe.

Macy's looking for the office. Let's go.

What are

you

doing?

Just dancing.

Well, Kat, how?

I think not.

Well, I'll be doggone.

Aren't you a spitfire?

You'd better believe it.

One punch.

Well, what happened now, Ms. Cahill?

Well, one thing's for certain. Monroe and Daniels will go to prison.

And most of the staff at Quiet Rest will go back to prison.

You know, TV, you did one heck of a job out there.

Well, I gotta admit, I really got the blood flowing.

But I'll tell you, I know why they say you don't hit a fellow with glasses.

I'd have a damn time to shut everything.

I can't thank you all enough.

Me neither.

Neither can I, Macy. You saved my life.

I wish there was some way that I could...

What was the line you said at the rest home?

Stop dancing and to dust I shall return.

Post haste.

Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

He won't do, he's gonna see.

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

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