Hey, Shannon, let's jump in and meet the defense.

You're welcome.

When it blows, Golden Wells is going to be completely isolated.

No phones, no fax, no TV, no radio, nothing. Nothing but the phones we give

and the calls we tell them to make.

Those rich people are probably not too good at taking orders.

No, they'll get good at it, I guarantee it.

Grady, what are you doing?

Goddamn, Walt.

Sneaking up on me like that.

Well, the phones in the Cottonwood Suites went out. My buddy Cheddar was

me out. Hi.

You know better than that, Grady. I'm the head of security here at Golden

All this stuff has got to be cleared through me.

Should I clear this?

Oh.

Too bad.

You're a good man, Walt.

You know the drill.

Let's move.

Market's on its way up. You're going to get your money back.

I've heard that song before.

Ah, but this one is a hit record.

Oh, pack up your troubles in your old kip bag.

Smile.

Pack up your troubles in your old kip bag.

Smile a little while.

Sir. What?

Why are you so happy?

Well, my good friend Tom Barrett, no, my great friend Tom Barrett, over at

Company F, just got a marvelous job as chief of security for Golden Wells

Resort. Oh, that's right. He's retiring soon, isn't he? That's right. Tom's out

of here in two weeks.

Well, why are you so happy?

Well, the previous security guard must have quit.

Golden Wells Resort needs a security man right now.

Tom retires in two weeks.

They hire me in the interim. Good pay.

Just kick back, take it easy, and what can I say?

Congratulations. Thank you. Can you handle it? Can I handle it? We're crying

loud. Rubbing elbows with the rich and famous.

Yes, sirree. Just tuck them in and pull the light switch.

Is everybody here going to miss me?

No!

Welcome to Golden Well. May I help you, sir? C .D. Parker, reporting for duty.

This

is

a real wing desert. Boy, this place will hold a lot of hay.

Excuse me?

Oh, never mind, son. Never mind.

Welcome to Golden Well. Are you checking in?

I'm reporting for duty.

As our new chief of security, Paul Grady, your number two man.

Nice to know you. My pleasure.

In the eyes of a ranger, the unsuspecting stranger.

I'd better know the truth of 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.

Golden Wells was a little polite to have him, pure and simple.

You know, it's hard to understand how a man could walk away from a job like

this.

Walt Kimber, he was a good man, but, well,

well, I guess alcohol can bring down the best of us.

Alcohol, probably.

Yeah, he walked off the job one day. We never saw him again.

Hmm.

Excuse me, CD.

Brady.

All right, I'll be there in a few minutes.

Seems one of the guests got locked out of their suite.

Amy at the front desk will set you up with a room, and then we'll catch up

later. Okay. All right?

Thank you. Yeah, you're welcome. Okay? Thank you.

Yes, ma 'am. I'm C .D. Parker, retired Texas Ranger, and I'm out here from

Dallas.

I'm in charge of security over at the Golden Wells Resort.

Oh, well.

I'm Sheriff Annie Wilkins.

Well, it's a pleasure.

Thank you.

What can I do for you, Mr. Parker?

I'd kind of like to find out a little bit about the fellow that had this job

before me.

Walt Kimber.

Yes, ma 'am.

I heard that...

And he was a drinker and he walked off the job. You heard wrong.

Walt was never a drinker and he would never walk off any job.

Yes, ma 'am.

Somehow I have that feeling that's why I'm here.

Well, I wonder if I could eyeball that missing person report.

All right, then.

Party clothes gone.

Didn't I tell you to stay off that thing? Yeah, you told me.

I knew bringing you here was a mistake.

I didn't know you made mistakes, Dad.

You pull another stunt like this, and you're going to be grounded for the rest

of your life. Gee, Dad, you mean I'll have to spend more time by myself?

That'd be different.

You know, Kelly, that's, like, so rude.

Who asked you?

Watch your mouth, young lady.

Just a minute here. Excuse me. I'm C .D. Parker in charge of security here.

Charles Sanderson. Nice to know you. This is Tiffany. Of course, you already

Kelly. I assure you, Mr. Parker, this type of foolishness will not happen

I'm sure she's learned a good lesson here.

She'll be more careful next time. Well, let's hope so.

Dinner's at 6 .30.

I'll expect you to be dressed appropriately.

I expect you to be dressed appropriately.

You're such a jerk.

Now, Mr. Parker, I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but here at

Wells, we try to observe a certain decorum, especially with our Golden

guests. Decorum?

Yes, sir. I think I understand that, Mr. Bracken.

With clients like Benjamin Davis dropping $10 ,000 a night in one of our

we find it's in our best interest to keep their blood pressure on the low

Benjamin Davis?

The Benjamin Davis is staying here?

Yeah, he's arriving tomorrow.

I thought Grady filled you in on all this. He wanted me to get the lay of the

land before we got to particulars. Well, this is a pretty important particular.

Mr. Davis is holding his anniversary party here at Golden Wells with a small

number of his very close...

And very rich associates.

Shut my mouth.

Mr. and Mrs. Davis will be hosting an elite circle of Fortune 500 families,

including the father of that little girl you just saved.

They have to have their privacy.

So the best thing you, Grady, and the others can do is stay out of their way.

Mr. Brackett, it's been my experience with people like this that the best

security man is an invisible security man.

Mr. Parker. C .D., please. C .D., you and I are going to get along just fine.

Thank you, sir.

I'm on my way, Alex. I'll meet you at the Café Marina in ten minutes.

We'll have lunch.

Okay, I'll see you.

Let's get out of here now.

Don't you ever stop working?

I just stopped.

Let's eat.

Thank you.

Maybe one of these days we'll get through lunch without you arresting

Maybe.

Don't you ever stop working?

Alex Cahill? Yes.

Just a minute.

It's for you.

Commissioner Johnson.

Yes, Commissioner.

Ranger Walker.

I just got off the phone with the governor.

This weekend, ten of the richest men in America and their families are going to

be coming to Texas for a gathering at a resort called Golden Wells.

Golden Wells?

Keep an eye on things.

And let's keep this discreet. We don't want to raise any unnecessary alarm.

Okay, Commissioner.

I'll take care of it.

Golden Wells, isn't that where C .D. is?

Mm -hmm.

I better call C .D.

About what?

They're having some big function out there this weekend, and the governor

me to go out and keep an eye on things.

Discreetly.

Discreetly?

Well, you can't go by yourself. That would be completely suspicious.

You need to take your wife.

It's not a bad idea.

I wonder who I should take.

Very funny.

Give me that phone.

This is Grady.

He's a former Texas Ranger. I think it would be a big mistake to underestimate

this man.

That's what I'm saying. Keep an eye on him.

No.

No, sir. Nobody's going to give us any trouble. I won't allow it.

We have nothing to worry about.

Welcome to Golden Wells, ma 'am.

Facts are in the trunk.

This dadgum red place sure is sticky.

Old Silas hadn't have gone deer hunting off -season.

We never would have found Walt's car.

Yeah, it doesn't look too good.

How tall was Walt Kimber?

About 6 '2". Why?

Well, whoever drove this vehicle was about 5 '8". I think Kimber's body's

somewhere in these woods.

Bitterroot Park's over 4 ,000 acres.

Search could take days.

Well, Sheriff, I'd focus my search on about a 1 ,000 -yard radius of this

vehicle. I'll get a team together.

I got to tug around here.

Stop!

What? You know what I want to do?

What? Drive this thing.

Oh, no, no. They get real uptight about stuff like that around here.

Okay, I get it.

20 now, 20 when we get back.

I can't take that. I'm sorry.

Look, if you're so scared of losing your job, maybe I'll make it so you don't

have one.

Jerry!

Hi, Mr. Parker.

What can I do for you?

There's some folks over by the pool that need some refreshment. Take care of

them for me, will you? Absolutely, Mr. Parker.

That was kind of mean.

You're talking about getting that young fellow fired.

I was only kidding.

That's not the point, honey.

You could have caused him an awful lot of trouble.

My dad would have taken care of it. You think your daddy can take care of

everything?

He's got enough money.

There's some things that money can't buy.

Like what?

Friendship.

Loyalty.

Come on. I'll walk you over.

Well, we're at that point again, Walker.

What point's that?

Like the first day on the river.

Or the first day on the mountain.

When life couldn't get any better.

Where we couldn't get any better.

Oh, yeah, I remember.

The calm before the storm.

Exactly.

Oh,

I see that Mr. Vanderbilt has arrived.

I don't want to see any crap.

Yes, sir. That's Italian leather. Yes, sir. Mr. Vanderbilt.

David Brackett. I'm the general manager.

Welcome to Golden Well.

My pleasure.

Heard a lot about your resort.

Mr. Vanavet, I'm sorry. All our gold and certain sweets are taken, but I'm sure

you'll be very happy with the Lone Star Room.

I hope so.

Parker.

Yes, Mr. Bracken? If you have any security needs, please feel free to call

Mr. Parker.

He's a former Texas Ranger.

He'll be in good hands.

What was he playing at that time? Oh, very good.

Make sure that all my luggage gets to the Lone Star Room.

Parker.

Parker. Cheapskate.

One dollar.

Jack, don't stand there gawking. Get back there and help those guys.

Ah, Mr. Vanderbilt. Yeah, Mr. and Mrs. Sprinter. How are you?

Very well. Hey, you want to take a look at that prospectus we were talking

about? Yes, I appreciate you taking the time. My pleasure.

Okay, let's take a look here.

So what'd you come up with?

A clean slate on all the employees.

No pops on anybody named Paul Grady.

Alias? Paul Gravis.

Spent time for aggravated assault, weapons violations, and drug

Well, that's C .D.'s second -in -command. How did he get clearance?

Probably the same way we did.

Put a false ID on the computer.

Maybe C .D. can find out who brought him in.

Wow.

What?

Not what, who.

Howard Barkley, Unitech, guys worth millions.

And there's Everett Bond and Morgan Daniels.

Commissioner wasn't kidding.

The richest of the rich really are here.

You know what?

I know how much you make.

I want to go sit with them.

Mr. Bond.

He did not just say that.

favorite courses, Jim?

Well... You know, I'd have to go with St. Martin's in Brussels.

Played there last month.

St. Martin's flooded last year, son.

It's a swamp land.

Some people would call it that.

But I've hit out of worse rough.

There's Ben.

Sorry I'm late. I got turned the wrong way at the clubhouse.

It's not a problem, Ben.

Benjamin Davis.

Macro Systems.

You are?

I'm Jimmy Vanderbilt, VDT Corp.

I just heard you never come out in public.

Well, I think my wife would be a little disappointed if I didn't show up at my

own anniversary party.

New man does the honor.

Same as usual?

$1 ,000?

$1 ,000 a round.

Sounds reasonable.

That's her hole.

Parker's definitely up to something.

He's got Kimmerer's missing persons file here.

I agree.

I'll take care of it.

Time's come.

Tidal range has got to go. You know the drill.

Consider it done.

Hey, Kelly.

What are you doing down here by yourself?

My goodness, what's that?

$200.

All I wanted to do was play tennis with him.

And he gives me this instead.

Ever since he divorced Mom, I hardly see him anymore.

Scoot over a little bit, huh?

Well, your daddy's kind of confused.

And you're a real fine little girl.

And one of these days when you get a little bit older, he's going to regret

that.

Excuse me, Mr. Parker, but there's been a break -in reported at the utilities

shed by the golf course.

I thought you might want to check it out.

Okay, you bet.

You just hang in there, kiddo. Okay?

I wonder what that's all about.

You should have minded your own business, old man.

You okay, C .D.? Hell no. My head hurts.

There was no I .D. on the

body.

The sheriff's taking him back to Dallas.

They're going to run his prints to NCIC.

How's C .D. doing?

He's got a headache, but he'll be all right.

What do you think these guys are up to?

I don't know.

But whatever it is,

It's going to come down soon.

I bet it's got something to do with Davis.

You might be right.

You keep an eye on him. We'll watch the other CEOs.

You got it.

That is the first time I ever got the ball out of the sand trap in one.

Scooping the yolk off an egg. Right, right. That's right. And remember what I

told you about using too much wrist on your putty. I think metronome. That's

right, metronome.

You got a good eye. Trust it.

I guess the only way I'm going to improve my golf game is to get out and

more often.

You know that's not the only thing it improves, sir.

What do you mean?

I mean macro systems.

Down 18 % last year. You know why?

Why? Because everyone thinks you're a recluse.

I'm not comfortable in public.

No kidding.

But listen, how are people going to know if you're a hands -on kind of guy? How

are we going to know that you're a leader?

Maybe you're right, Jim. Maybe I have become too isolated.

You ought to try showing up at a stockholders' meeting once in a while.

Yeah.

The Wall Street Journal has been after me for months for an interview.

I was thinking about this. You ought to start your own website.

That's a good idea, Jim. Damn.

That's a very good idea.

Here you're having an anniversary party.

Yes, we are. You can come.

Well, thank you.

But I promised this other couple that I'd join them for dinner.

Well, bring them along.

Well, all right then.

Look out!

He's busy right now, honey. Don't call me that.

Dad! What is it, Kelly?

Well, come on. Let's go play tennis.

You promised yesterday.

I can't right now. I'm busy.

Son? Yeah, you come over here a second, will you?

Yes, sir.

Take my daughter over to the courts.

Let her hit some balls with the pro.

Sure thing, Mr. Sanderson.

Come on, Kelly.

Anderson better watch out.

One of these days, that little girl's just gonna walk away.

That's for sure.

What'd you find out, C .D.? Grady was hired by Bracken, the general manager,

he wasn't promoted even for the two weeks till Tom Barris could get here.

That's because he knew Grady had a record.

The stockholders would have demanded a more in -depth background search. I've

got a hunch Bracken set you up last night.

Yep.

Okay, let's stay on alert, C .D.

I thought I was going to get a vacation out of this. You and me both.

Well, let's let Trevette know what's going on, okay?

Okay.

Speak of the devil.

He's supposed to protect that fellow, not ground him.

In two hours, there'll be no turning back.

No mistakes, Grady.

I want this thing to go like clockwork.

Don't worry about it, Bracken. My men know exactly what to do.

Good.

See you at the party.

All right, let's get packed up. Get ready to move.

In a minute, sweetheart.

Vodka and orange juice, please.

Make that orange juice, son.

Yes, sir.

You're going to be grown up soon enough.

You don't need pushing.

Mr. Parker, how come you care what I do, but my dad doesn't?

Well, I'm sure he does.

The two weeks I get with him, we come here.

Why are you hardly paying any attention to me at all?

Look, honey, your dad is just confused right now about what the important

in life are.

I'm sure after a while he'll change it.

I wish he was more like you.

If I had a daughter, I'd want her to be just like you.

They're all here.

Alex, you about ready?

I thought the party started at 8.

It does.

It's 8 .15.

Yeah, this place is filling up, Cordell.

Yeah, well, what's keeping you?

Alex, who else?

Is that Walker? Let me talk to him.

Oh, I'm sorry, Jimmy. I didn't hear you. My ear was full of pond water.

Walker, I think you could be right about tonight.

Trivet?

To bed.

Ta -da!

Something's wrong. Stay here.

So much for my ta -da.

All right, make no mistake about it. You are alone here.

Nobody's going to help you.

Those phones.

These radio phones are your only contact with the outside world.

What is it that you want? I want you out of my face.

Contain the guests and the rest of the staff. Keep them by the pool. I do not

want anybody to leave the resort.

Yes, sir.

All right, everybody down.

Get down on the ground. Make me happy. Get down on the ground. Let's go.

You will use these phones to contact your bankers. Each one of them will

electronically transfer $10 million to a foreign account. That account number is

taped onto each one of these radio phones.

You've got 20 minutes. Start dialing, or I'm going to start sending out

families.

I suggest you start dialing right now, gentlemen.

What do you mean you dial? Start dialing.

I'm scared.

What's going to happen? I'll give you something to be scared about. Move it.

Upstairs. Let's go.

Get to your rooms and stay there.

Yes, sir.

The ten million is there.

Excellent.

Another transfer completed, but for the rest of you gentlemen, stick to talk.

Okay.

You should have went up to the job, wouldn't you?

I'm still young, sonny boy.

Yeah, but you're not.

I'll kill you!

What's the matter with you? Don't you know that I will kill you?

You touch her again, you'll never see a dime of my money.

Dial.

You two, drag him over here.

Right. You two,

take off your ties and tie him up.

Daddy,

are you okay?

I'm okay, sweetheart.

Don't worry.

Time's up, Sanderson.

I'm so scared.

I was afraid I'd lost you. I thought I lost you too, Daddy.

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm fine.

I love you. I love you too.

Sidney, may I have the pleasure of taking Grady in?

All yours, ma 'am.

I've really got to thank you, sir.

You're welcome, Bracken.

And you're under arrest.

Take him.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be moved

get to the court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney and to

an attorney present during any question.

Wow.

You look gorgeous.

Thanks for everything.

Well, now, what am I going to get for having saved your life?

Huh?

You're going to be okay, Miss Kelly Sanderson.

You're going to be okay.

Now, scoot.

Mr.

Parker?

Oh, your daughter's already thanked me.

I realize there's no way I can show my gratitude for what you've done.

With Kelly, it's just... Hey, there's no mystery to it. All you gotta do is just

put your arms around her and squeeze.

She doesn't work for you.

She's not on your schedule.

And believe me, she's the most precious thing you'll ever have.

Thank you.

So tell me, darling, are we ever going to have a vacation without you arresting

someone?

We can work on it.

That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm trying to tell you. I happen to know for

a fact he's going to spend more time in public promoting the company.

What are you talking about? The stock's going to skyrocket.

So this is what I want you to do. I want you to sell everything I got by macro

systems. That's right. Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy.

Walker, you got to get in on this. No. It's a chance of a lifetime.

No. It's a chance of a lifetime.

Let's throw a party, you said. You'll have a great time, you said.

I'm never going out in public again.

Never.

Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

Ain't all you do, you're gonna see.

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

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