All the guns are here, Payne.

Check the pieces.

See if the ride wrecked the action at all.

Smooth as a rug rat's butt.

You ain't gonna stop bragging about that brood of yours again, are you, Milch?

Cut the umbilical, man.

We'll ship the guns across the border tomorrow.

Milch, six years in San Quentin for smuggling.

Hess drummed out of the Corps for assaulting a CO.

And Payne wanted on ten felony counts for gun running.

Yeah, he's the leader of the bunch.

Two years, Walker.

Finally got a solid lead on these guys.

I'm not taking anything away from Moore, but come on, get real.

Jerry Rice, 122 catches, over 1 ,800 yards gained, and 17 TDs. And that's

everybody on the field knowing exactly where the ball is going to be. That's

ladies. I'd like to get this in before the Super Bowl.

Cox, give us a break.

It looks like we're having a picnic here.

I don't want any of your crap, Hanson. You've been working on this section

days already.

Swing those claws!

I'm bringing the guns across the border this week, CD.

All we gotta do is figure out where.

Yak, yak, yak.

All you fellas do is talk about work. Neither one of you have a sample of my

Walker Deluxe Club. What is a Walker Club sandwich?

Well, it's the first sandwich named after a famous Texas ranger.

What's in it?

I've got jack cheese, beefsteak tomatoes, home -roasted turkey.

What's that green stuff?

Mung beans.

Oh. Mung beans?

Mung beans.

Long beans. I heard about them. They're supposed to be pretty good.

It's like eating a lawn.

I don't know. It tastes pretty good to me.

You would like it.

I'll tell you what, C .D.

Name it a trivet club, would you?

Yeah. Well, that'll be just fine.

I'll get an old stale piece of bologna and two stale pieces of bread, and we'll

make a walker out here. How do you like that?

Sounds better to me.

Well.

Now, you see, this is why we're behind.

This sounds like chipboard to Cox. Expect us to spike and choke.

Yeah, tell me about it.

He's the foreman. What are we going to do?

I don't know. There's got to be something.

Look, he's fainting him off again.

Yep. Same old, same old.

I'll see you down at lunch.

Yeah, it's going to catch up to him. You just wait and see.

Oh, yeah?

So how's that going to happen, smart guy?

I think somebody ought to tell Mr. Gellis about it. You hear that, Riley?

Hanson's got a little chit -chat with the boss man.

Well, I don't think Mr. Cox would like that, do you?

Yeah, well, that's too bad.

Between the untreated wood and the inferior chipboard, this place is a

fire trap.

Provence club.

I think it is.

Walker, Jimmy, C .D., you remember Alfre, don't you? Yeah, sure do.

Well, of course. She saved your fatty in a slammer last summer.

Alfie, how are you? Doing great now, thanks to Alex's dad.

Alfre's case was won on appeal, and all the charges were dropped.

Oh, that's great.

Hi, honey, what's your name?

My baby Keisha. Say hi to Ranger Walker, honey. Hi. Hi, honey.

Alfred just landed a union job, so we came to celebrate.

Mama's a carpenter.

Alfred, all right.

Where are you working?

Working on a housing project.

Gillis Construction.

I'm starting there the day after tomorrow.

Oh, hey, Mr. Cox.

Anson here is going to have a little talk with Mr. Gillis. Something about

violations and inferior building materials.

Is that right?

Yeah, that's right.

Go ahead.

Okay. No, not that way, pal.

Take the express elevator.

Nash, push the button for him.

No!

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

wrong from right.

Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

Ain't all you do, he's gonna see.

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

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

Over here.

Doing a good job, Cox. You're not on schedule.

Thanks, Mr. Gillen.

Keep it up. Good work. Thanks, sir.

You the foreman?

Yeah, name's Cox.

Who wants to know?

Alfie Grimes.

I'm on the list.

You swing a hammer?

According to the union.

Who might argue?

Tim Carson.

Dick Grimes, you're up to the fourth.

You're on the road.

All right.

Come on.

I'll see all you around.

This is what we call a 16 -penny.

That's just the way we measure the size, so don't worry about that right now.

I'm trying not to.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.

You don't... There you go. You're down there.

Got to get on the end of the hammer there, give it a little bit of leverage.

All right, now just tap the end of the nail. Just got it.

I'll give it a big swing, as big as you can manage.

Like this?

Well, I guess I had that coming, didn't I?

I guess you did.

Imperson.

Alfie Grimes.

Welcome aboard.

You're one of the best framers I've ever seen.

Thanks. My dad worked the high iron.

Taught me everything he knew.

Must have been a heck of a teacher.

He was.

All right, that's it.

God, who laid this floor?

And this isn't plywood.

Well, once we lay some carpet over it, who's to know, Susie Q?

The name's Alfre, and you are?

Nash. And I'm the guy in charge up here.

Well, if you're the guy in charge up here, you really ought to do something

about these substandard materials.

Hey, what do you think you're doing? Yeah, didn't anybody tell you this is

construction, not demolition?

Stock her one sheet of plywood.

Done.

It's not plywood.

Look, I like you, and I want to give you a piece of advice.

You need to keep your mouth shut on this one.

You and I both know that what they're doing is totally illegal.

Somebody's got to do something.

I know this is low -income housing. I mean, they can't be cutting these kind

coins. Listen to me, Alfre. These guys don't play around.

I mean, the last guy that made threats like that, he took a dive from four

stories up. You understand what I'm saying?

Ain't nobody saw nothing.

You need to be careful.

This is a very dangerous place to be.

You understand me?

when they change the rules.

You've been there before.

You're nobody's fool.

The money's on the table now. It's your move.

The devil's tough for dealing what you're gonna do.

Hey, you guys.

Thanks for coming by.

So how was your first day?

Let's just say it was interesting.

Well, I saw something on the news that there was an accident at this site a few

days ago.

Yeah, I heard about that.

What'd you hear?

Let's just say I was told to keep my mouth shut.

Who told you that?

Never mind.

Alfred, if you're having a problem, I'd like to hear about it.

You know what?

I can handle it.

Oh, man, I got to go, you guys. Mama's got Keisha, and you know they're going

want to know how my first day went.

See y 'all later.

See you later.

No

hassles

at all, huh?

Not a one, Mama.

Well, that's good.

Court, a false witness shall not go unpunished, and he who speaketh lies

perish.

Leviticus, right?

Proverbs 19.

Who do you think you're messing with, Alpha Letitia?

Your father poured concrete for over 35 years.

I know what it's like out there.

Now, there's something on your mind.

What is it?

Nothing, Mama.

They're just cutting a few corners, that's all.

Second -rate building materials, mostly.

And what are you going to do about it?

Nothing, Mama.

Think these bills just gonna vaporize?

Gotta put food on this table somehow.

Honey, I just want you to be careful.

When they start cutting corners, that's when it gets dangerous.

That's how your daddy died.

I know, Mama.

You know, your father wasn't even scheduled to work the day that he was

He was filling in for Angel Perez.

Angel's wife was in labor. I don't want to talk. That day haunts me like a cold

spot in the attic.

Fifteen men crushed to death under a thousand tons of concrete, and your

right there with him, holding a guide spout in his hand.

I miss him, Mom.

Miss Daddy.

I won't let the same thing happen to you.

I won't, Alfre.

I'd rather starve to death.

Come on, Miss Bates.

All dressed and ready for bed.

Yes! What are you so happy about?

Yeah, I got the location on the gun drop.

It's an old warehouse at 86th and Industry.

How'd you find it?

Short -term rental leasings.

Can you believe that? I took a wild shot.

Payne used his own name.

Smart guy.

Well, we'll be there.

Vic, can you do me a favor?

Can you run a check on a Gillis construction and see what you can find

an accident that happened there a few days ago?

Isn't that where Alfre's working?

Something up?

I'm not sure.

Bible, tell me so.

I love you, Mommy.

Good night, honey.

Hey, Garcia, I want those under four ducks checked.

All right, okay.

Didn't I tell you to start framing windows, Susie Q?

Yes, sir, but these door jams aren't double -studded yet. What, do you think

blind? I can see that. Move on.

I don't believe that Nash.

He thinks just because this is a low -income house, he can just do whatever

wants. Well, just let it go, Alfred.

I got two kids.

I got one on the way.

I know it's not right, all right? But I need this job.

So just let it go, would you?

Excuse me, Mr. Cox.

Door jams aren't up to code yet.

Well, maybe the code's changed since the last time you swung a hammer, honey.

Man, those codes are in place to save lives. You can't just chain them so you

can save some money.

Look, I don't need some greenhorn in a girdle coming in here and telling me how

to do my job.

Everything's approved here. So, either you do as you're told or cash out,

Looks like we might have another whistleblower.

Is that what she looks like to you?

To me, she looks like an accident waiting to happen.

These are definitely our guys.

They've unloaded enough firearms to start a small war.

Well, we've seen everybody but one.

Pain is melting.

Figure Hess is inside.

So that's five, six max.

Five or six, huh?

That's what you think?

Yeah. Yeah, five or six.

Okay.

Let's go get him.

That's it, baby.

You're right there. That's good.

Back off.

All right.

No, I'm with you.

Go. Yeah.

All right.

Let's see if I can run on the ball.

Texas Rangers!

Hands up! Get over here!

Can you say five or six, man?

Did I say six?

I meant nine.

That's what I thought you meant.

Oh,

man.

What's up?

Peanut butter and jelly.

I hate peanut butter and jelly.

Get your wife to make you something else.

It's just a wee bit sexist, don't you think?

I'm the last eight and a half months pregnant, so I do most of the cooking

around the house.

And most of what I know how to cook is popcorn and peanut butter jelly.

That's pathetic.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Here, man.

That I can do.

Thank you. Hi, Mama.

Hey, baby.

Tim, this is my baby, Keisha.

And this is my mom. Hi, nice to meet you.

Grandma said we could see where you work. She did?

Let mama show you.

All the way to the top.

All the way to the top?

All the way to the top.

Wow. What the hell's going on here?

This isn't no damn daycare center, Grimes.

I'm just showing my kid where I work. I don't care if you're showing around the

bloody Pope.

Get him out of here.

Are you trying to avoid my damn liability insurance?

That language is uncalled for, mister.

There's a child present.

You heard me, Grimes.

Get him out of here, now!

I'll see you at home, Mama.

Okay, dear.

You could learn some manners, young man.

Let's go, baby.

The brave heart never stands alone.

No one can help you to choose.

It's your move.

Look at it. Look.

Now Cox has run electrical straight through the plumbing.

And where are the fire blocks?

I got some joists to line up, Alfred.

Come on, Tim. People are going to get killed here.

And look.

Don't think I haven't seen Cox's truck taking that good plywood and bringing in

that rotten chipboard.

Alfre, I've been framing for ten years. You know how I keep the paycheck coming,

huh? Not by sweating these violations.

I keep the paycheck coming by keeping my mouth shut, and that's what you need to

do. You see that guy down there talking to Cox?

That's steel. That's a super.

Now, you so much as scratch your nose around this guy, and you're out of here.

You understand?

Now, come on. Let's set these doors.

Talk to you for a second.

They're substituting materials, and it's going to cause somebody to get hurt.

I've seen it. I've seen it with my own eyes.

Right, I understand.

But, you know, I try to run a clean shop here, and I won't stand for any

stealing. I really appreciate this, Ms. Grimes, and you have my word.

I will look into it. Thank you, Mr. Steele.

I saw the whole damn thing.

What kind of hen house are you running there, Cox? You know, every time I come

out to the job, some new chicken is clucking at me.

Don't worry. She's nothing.

I'll take care of it. We just see that you do.

Do it right this time.

If Gellis gets wind of this, we're finished.

Hey. Hey.

Say, did you find out anything about Gellis' construction?

Check with OSHA.

Check with the county building inspector on the accident.

I have two statements from witnesses verifying that it was an accident.

So not so much as a blemish on the record.

Stop some more. Got a break, Eve?

on a chopper like a rock.

Okay, take it out.

Follow this load over to the north vector, Grimes.

Yes, sir. As soon as I finish up here.

I got it out. We have to go over there anyway.

Tim, I can get that.

Oh, I got it. I got it.

Thanks.

Are you going to be okay?

It's too soon to tell.

Fired?

They're blaming me for the whole thing, Mom.

Blaming you? Why?

I'm the one that laid that catwalk.

I know it was solid.

Mom, I checked it.

It's that Mr. Cox.

I could see it in his eyes.

He had it in for you from the very beginning.

What am I going to do?

Alfre, are you sure about this?

Alex, what they're doing up there almost killed a good man.

Somebody's got to do something.

What'd you find out?

Not much.

Well, did you check with Mr. Steele?

Yeah, I spoke with him. He remembers the conversation. He checked into the

allegations. He couldn't find anything to back him up.

And I talked to the county building inspector.

He went up to the site. He found nothing wrong.

But this wasn't an accident.

Alex, there's got to be something we can do.

Without proof, the best we have here is a suit for wrongful termination.

Wrongful termination.

Tim almost died out there.

And wrongful termination is the best we can do?

I'm afraid so.

Wrongful termination it is.

Let's do it.

This is not going to be easy.

If we don't win, you could lose your union card. So you have to be positive.

Know what this is?

This is a damned lawsuit, is what it is.

I asked you two to do a job for me, and this is what I got in return.

A whole barrel full of alleged improprieties and illegalities. Listen,

Gellis, we're talking sour grapes here. I mean, pure and simple.

Oh, doesn't sound like sour grapes to me, do you?

Sexual harassment.

Employee endangerment.

using inferior materials, threatening... You want me to read you the entire

list? You're nipping at the wrong heels here, Paul.

That's right, Mr. Gellis. This chick is nothing but a two -bit hustler trying to

hit your wagon to your money tray.

Well, that may be.

But let me tell you both something. If even one word of this is true, then the

next time I see either one of you, you'll be behind federal bars. You

me?

So this was your first union job, is that correct, Miss Grimes?

Yes. And you destroyed Geller's property on your very first day on the job,

didn't you?

No.

Objection, Mr. Becker, there's no proof of anything. That doesn't stipulate into

the facts, Counselor.

Uh, Miss Grimes, you were docked for a sheet of plywood, were you not?

I don't believe that.

I'm sorry, yes or no, were you docked?

Yes, but I didn't... Thank you, and that's why the other men didn't trust

correct? Objection, that is pure supposition. She has been causing

the moment she set foot on the job, Counselor. Isn't that right, Miss

In fact, you have an axe to grind, don't you, Miss Grimes? Because of your

father's death.

I don't, um... That's what this lawsuit's really about, isn't it, Miss

Your father was a screw -up.

And so are you.

He killed 15 men with his negligence.

And now you're following directly in his bungling footsteps.

Lie! All right, all right.

Let's take five.

That construction accident was not my father's fault.

The safety commission, they even, they proved it. Okay, okay.

Take a deep breath.

But tell me, what about your father?

He was killed in a construction accident, okay?

Alex, it was not his fault.

Look, just forget it.

This is so bogus.

I'm not taking this man. Alfre, if you walk out that door, they win. Is that

what you want?

Everything that you've been through, and now you give up?

Is that the fat lady I hear singing?

Alfrey, I warned you about this.

Becker is pulling a tactic, but that's all it is.

You are the only one that knows the real truth, and you need to go in there and

say it.

Okay.

You have to be sure, Alfrey. You can't bail on me again.

I won't.

They already fired me.

And they trashed my dad's good name.

What else can they do to me?

I could really use the work.

I'm available right away.

Sorry, no can do.

Your father wasn't even scheduled to work the day that he was here.

Fifteen men crushed to death under a thousand tons of concrete.

Your father right there with him, holding a guide spout in his hands.

Now we can get these gun runners. Thank you very much.

Payne and his men are racking up credit card charges all over town.

They're using aliases and fake cards.

We're verifying their signature using their electronic signature capture

Set up monitoring devices to track their activity as soon as they use one of

those cards. We got them. Great.

What is it?

Someone threw a brick through her front window.

They could have killed my baby.

I can't do this.

Tim was right. I should have kept my mouth shut.

Look, you got to get me out of this.

Who are they?

She thinks the foreman at the construction site is responsible.

What's his name?

His name's Cox.

Alfred, don't do anything.

Let me go check this out.

Where's your foreman, Cox?

Over there.

You, Cox?

What do you want, Ranger?

Well, how good are you at throwing bricks?

What are you talking about?

Alpy Grimes has filed a complaint against you.

Oh, yeah?

Well, I don't care what she said. I never threw no brick through a window.

I don't remember saying anything about a window.

Boys?

Ranger? This is private property.

It's up to you. You can leave the easy way, or you can leave the hard way.

Is that a threat?

Your choice, Ranger.

Well, in that case, I guess I'll take the hard way.

Get him, boys!

Leave Alfred Grimes alone.

running one of his fake credit cards even as we speak.

I'll meet you there.

I'm sorry, gentlemen, but according to housekeeping, your bill is correct.

$2 ,400 for beer nuts and potato chips. And the liquor. We mustn't forget the

liquor. You emptied the minibar a good 16 times, sir.

Look, I don't care if we emptied it 30.

We ain't paying no overrated flop house eight bucks a bottle for half a shot of

rye. Sir, I don't appreciate your tone.

I don't appreciate your face.

Security! Security!

Here, let me help you with that.

Security!

Security! Security!

You rang?

You want to finish up here?

Yeah, where are you going?

Alfred's deposition.

Security.

Bye, baby.

Be good for Granny. I will.

You can bet your booties on that.

Get back.

Everybody against the wall. Why are you doing this?

Get out of our house now.

Nash.

Too bad.

You. Before it was just you.

Now you're all going to have to die.

Mama.

Where's your client, Counselor?

She'll be here.

I'm not keeping Mr. Gellis waiting much longer.

Can I use your phone, please?

Mess this place up good.

Make it look like a robbery gone bad.

Won't be any questions.

Phone

again.

Hello? Walker, it's Alex.

Alfre is late for the deposition.

I've tried calling her, but her line's not working.

I'll go check on her.

You're gonna answer for this one day.

I don't see how.

Y 'all gonna be dead.

Won't be any witnesses.

Come Judgment Day, there will be.

Shut up, old woman.

Your Judgment Day is now.

I suck!

Y 'all get on with it.

Everyone okay?

Well, I understand that our little Alfre was brilliant on the witness stands.

She nailed him to the wall.

Turns out Cox had guys working for him in practically every shop in town, and

Gellis was totally clueless to the scam.

Well, not anymore.

No, Mr. Gellis is going to have to pay a pretty hefty settlement.

He's going to be a lot more attentive to who he hires in the future. As for Cox

and his merry men, the only construction they're going to be doing is turn out

Texas license plates for the next 20 years.

Right. I've got to find myself a steady job. I've got bills to pay.

Well, I could always use a high slinger in here.

Sorry, C .D.

She has a job.

I do?

Sure do. Working for the county, if you want it.

If I want it? Are you kidding? What is it?

Well, let's just say that it's a job where you can make a difference

Okay boys, let's go to work

Because the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

Anything wrong you do, he's going to see.

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

Because that's where the ranger's going to be.
