What's up?

Hey, Nicole.

You said you'd call.

And I will.

When?

Soon.

You better.

Good to see you. Go on in.

Is it a bad time?

Bad time?

Between friends?

It's no such thing.

Oh, yeah.

How are you, Galito?

Good, man.

You look good.

Sit down.

Hey.

I stuck with little Nicole earlier.

She said you never called her. No.

I ran into her out front.

See?

See, mano?

That's what happens when you don't keep your promises.

Who else?

Usual?

Single.

over for you.

And you're a very hot man to find.

Where you been, Mano?

I've been around, Johnny.

Calling me a liar?

Is that it? Huh, Ricky?

No, Johnny.

Come on, man.

I didn't do nothing.

Johnny, I'll see you soon.

No.

I want you to see this.

Whatever you say, Johnny.

Good, Carlito.

Good.

Trust. In our business, there is no more important quality.

Huh?

Any one of us can destroy the other.

And if we steal from each other, well, then there is no other recourse.

I'm sorry, Johnny.

I'll pay you back, man.

I'm sorry. I promise, man.

Please. I know. I know. I know.

It's too late.

No, please, Johnny.

Please. Johnny, please.

It's essential to our operation.

See?

That's what happens when a truck is broken.

Talk to you soon. Okay?

And call that Nicole.

She's a good girl.

You got it, Johnny.

Trust. It's essential to our operation.

That's what happens when trust is broken.

Any one of us can destroy the other.

And if

we

steal from each other...

Well, then there is no other recourse.

Johnny, please!

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

of wrong from right.

Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

And all you do, he's gonna see.

When you're in tech, there's luck behind you.

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

Cold blood.

Johnny shot him in cold blood right in front of me.

It was a message.

Maybe it's time we took this operation down, Trinette.

Walker, we can't stop yet. We've got four months invested in this. That's the

point he's trying to make, Detective.

Yeah, you've been undercover too long, Carlos.

We're almost there. All we have left is the number one guy, El Vaquero.

And I can get him, Walker. I know I can.

Detective, you've done a real good job. This is a great job.

Right? With the information, the evidence you've gathered already, the

are finished.

Not the point.

El Baquero is the heart and soul of this organization. Even if we take down

every member, we'll have a whole new crew in no time.

Please, Walker.

I'm close. I'm really close.

I just need a little more time.

week, but that's it.

And after that, the task force is coming in and cleaning out.

When the time comes, El Vaquero's mine.

I'm going to log these drugs.

Sit down, Carlos.

You're best right. You've done a real good job on this operation.

But you can't let it get personal.

What do you mean?

I know about your brother.

I know about Hector.

Come on, Hector. Let's go home. I'm going to be late.

Hey, I said go. Now go.

What you always hanging around me for anyways?

Stupid little jerk.

Get out of here.

I know he was a junkie.

Yeah. Then he was killed by a drug dealer.

The day he died, it nearly killed my mother.

Yeah, Walker, it's personal.

But I won't lose my objectivity, I promise you.

Now focus.

First target.

Nice. Nice.

Face each other, bow.

Forward.

Next up.

Face me, bow.

Face each other, bow.

Let him stand.

Fight!

Okay, okay, okay.

You're both showing you can use your feet now.

Show me that you can use your heads.

Better, better.

That's more like it. That's what I'm talking about.

That's more like it.

Face each other bow.

Good job.

All right, line up.

The tournament is this weekend.

You've all worked hard, and I'm proud of each and every one of you.

There's something I want you to remember.

If you win, great.

If you lose, learn from it.

Because as long as you've learned something, then you haven't really lost.

Oh, man, that is great.

It's so inspirational. I can hardly contain myself.

If you lose, you haven't really lost.

I hope you're listening to your sensei.

Because come tournament time, my students here are going to teach each

one of you a lesson.

What do you want, Lyons?

I just thought I'd drop by, give your students an opportunity to study under a

real martial arts instructor.

I'm going to offer them a deal.

Only going to say it once.

One month, free lessons. That's right, free.

The Jake Lyons Karate Academy.

Who's with me?

Okay, you're way too serious.

Doesn't look like anybody's with you, Lyons.

All right.

Six months of free lessons at the Jake Lyons Karate Academy.

Don't you want to learn how to fight?

That's right, you got big brother for that.

Okay. I can't believe I'm going to say this.

One full year of free lessons at the Jake Lyons

Karate Academy. It doesn't get any better than that, huh?

One year of free lessons.

It'd be quite a bargain if they were worth anything.

Okay.

All right, well, we'll wait until tournament time and see what they're

Okay.

Bye.

I'm proud of you.

You showed respect and you showed discipline.

And believe me, I know it wasn't easy.

Mr. Malloy.

Class, face Mr. Walker.

Bow. Face Mr.

Malloy. Bow.

Ready, set.

Excellent class.

I'll see you all tomorrow.

Dismissed.

That chick line is so frustrating.

Well, let's see if we can work some of that frustration out of you.

That's what I need.

I'm looking good.

Keep pushing. Keep pushing.

One.

Dread. Dread.

Nice. Come on. Five more.

Come on.

Work the back.

One more, one more.

One more, one more.

Tap out?

Come on, tap out.

You know you want it.

You know you want it. Come on, tap out.

Still

frustrated?

Are you kidding? More than ever.

I'm not lying to myself.

I had you, didn't I?

Almost. Then how come I'm the one who tapped out?

Well, because when you thought she almost had me, you got overconfident.

Then I had you.

So, Viper Man, you like being a detective?

Are you kidding me? It's great.

Don't get me wrong, I love being in uniform, but this, busting a big drug

ring, going under cover, it's like a dream come true.

How do you like working with Walker?

It's amazing.

A little intimidating.

The guy knows everything.

Tell me about it.

Really had a big impact on you, didn't he?

Yeah, he sure did.

I mean, you remember when I was a kid how much trouble I used to get into?

Rebelling against anything and everything?

If it hadn't been for Walker teaching me martial arts, man, I don't know where

I'd be today.

Carlos, blow.

Stop playing to me. I know you took it. Now, where is it? Sir, I did not take

it. Honest.

Where is it?

Mind your own business, jerk.

This bum stole my car radio. I didn't steal nothing, mister. I may be

but I ain't no thief. What'd I tell you about... I said, leave him alone.

I want to thank you.

I'm Charlie.

Charlie Clark.

Nice to meet you, Charlie.

Carlos Martinez.

Sir Malloy.

I really appreciate what you just did.

There's not a whole lot of folks standing up for someone like me.

If I can return the favor, I will.

Thanks, Charlie. Don't worry about it.

Glad to help.

Just take care of yourself, okay?

How's your jaw?

What do you mean?

Your chin really gave that guy's knuckles a pounding.

Very funny.

Seriously, Carlos, I think it's time you started training with me.

When?

Right now.

I could take care of myself just with boxing. Come on.

Uh -huh. Yeah.

All right, you made your point.

Good. Let's get to work.

All right. All right, first I'm going to show you a reverse punch.

Good, good.

Good.

Good.

Way to breathe. That's right.

Nice. That was the best one.

Good. Now, with all your moaning and groaning, you're picking this up really

fast. What can I say? I'm a good student.

Or maybe I'm a good teacher.

There's $50 ,000.

That's quite a step up. That's right, and you're running out of time. You only

get one more buy after this.

What if Johnny gets suspicious? I mean, to go from 5 ,000 a pop to 50. Tell him

there's a new buyer in town.

And tell him it's someone with a distribution network already in place,

product. And if Johnny wants to meet this money man?

Well, that's what we're hoping he will want.

Got a distribution network set up in L .A., but a supplier got busted, so

can't get product.

He's looking at about 50 a week.

You can handle part of that, all of that, or...

None of that. It's up to you.

I don't like doing business with strangers.

I understand.

But then, as my dear old grandmother used to say, a stranger is merely a

whom you have yet to meet.

So, Carlitos, when do I meet this new friend? He's back in L .A. He'll be here

on Monday.

Excellent. I'll have it ready by then.

Of course.

And I mean no offense.

He'll want to meet El Vaquero.

I see no problem in that.

Good.

I'll leave this in your care until then.

You'll join me in a toast?

Of course.

Here's to the big leagues.

Salud.

Wait a minute.

Have this checked out.

Watch his eyes.

His eyes?

Right before they attack, a lot of guys open their eyes just a little bit wider.

When you see that, you know it's coming. And if you know it's coming, be ready

for it.

And let me see.

Good. I thought that. Okay, great.

Excellent. Excellent.

You do that in the tournament, you're going to do great.

We got him.

Johnny took the bait, hook, line, and sinker.

We got our meeting without a vaquero.

When? Monday.

Hey, Carlos, I want you to stay in constant contact with us.

When you change your rules, anything can happen.

Gotcha.

I'll be back when this is over.

Hey, Johnny.

Report's back.

See you later, baby.

And?

Fingerprints on the shot glass belong to a Carlos Sandoval.

Detective Carlos Sandoval.

Call point.

Point on the side. Fight dance.

Five.

Three.

Judge's call point.

Point on the side. Fight dance.

One more.

Fight.

Three. Five.

Judge's call point.

Judge's bow.

Judge's bow.

Judge's bow.

Judge's bow.

We're going to stop. Thank you.

Sorry I'm missing the line.

Kevin, you did your best and you fought well.

No matter what happened out there today, you're still a winner.

Thank you, Sensei.

Good job.

Sir, give the black belt a 15 -minute warning.

You ready?

Yeah.

Nervous?

Good.

Where's Carlos? I thought he was supposed to be here.

Yeah, he was.

Juan!

Paco, what are you guys doing here?

Johnny wants to see you.

Right now? Right now's not a good time. I got someplace I gotta be. I'm already

late. Tell him I'll see him tomorrow.

You'll see him now.

You ready?

Yes, sir.

Nervous? A little bit.

Good luck.

You wanted me?

You got me.

I got places to go, people to see.

Speak English.

What? Speak English?

I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience to you, Carlitos.

Johnny, what?

Why is this?

What's this all about?

You said you wanted to meet El Vaquero?

Yeah.

Then say hello, detective.

You're El Baguero.

No.

Come on.

Who else knows about our little operation?

I'm sorry.

That's privileged information.

I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you.

This is not a game, Carlitos.

No, I'm not going to lie to you.

You are a dead man, but it's up to you.

You want to die the easy way or the hard way?

All right, give me no other option.

You're all under arrest.

He's not thinking.

Watch his eyes.

Is that enough?

Enough.

You didn't knock me down, Ray.

I'm still standing here.

That's funny.

Ray,

let's go to point.

Yeah, now he's thinking.

Tie it up now.

Two, two.

Come here.

Does the word telegraph mean anything to you? I'm just giving him a letter. Tell

him what you're going to do. It's ridiculous.

One, two, two, last one.

Five.

One time. Five.

Hey, detective, you want funny?

Before you die, there's something I want you to know.

Your brother, Hector, who got killed in the street like a dog?

The guy that shot him?

It was me.

And you know why?

Because he betrayed me.

Just like you.

Where did he go?

Oh, man, I am so proud of you. Oh, man, that felt so good.

And you should, but remember, you got four more matches, okay?

I'm never going to make that mistake.

Are you listening to what I'm saying?

Is that what I taught you? No, sensei.

Give me a second.

Might as well take out an email. Put out an ad in the paper. I'm throwing a kick

now.

It felt good.

I lost, okay?

Because you open your eyes.

What?

Right before you attack, you open your eyes a little bit wider.

So I know you're coming, man.

That's why you're ready.

Little brother won.

That's good.

Good for you.

The boys all think you are so smart.

And I keep hearing about what a great fighter you are.

I watch you and I am not that impressed.

I gotta say, I can't wait to get you on the mat.

This isn't the time and this isn't the place.

But believe me, Lyons, that time is coming. And when it does,

you won't like it.

He's out.

Absolutely nothing.

Is he okay?

Hey, Tommy.

Hey, guys.

I thought Carlos was coming down.

Yeah, I thought so, too. But when I called him at home, there was no answer.

Maybe he's just running late.

I hope that's the case.

I'm going to call Trevette.

Let's see if he checked in.

Who's that?

There's no one.

Go on. Get out of here.

Go on.

He's gone.

You shot him.

We were both there. We saw it. Johnny, he's got to be dead.

Dead? How does a dead body get up and walk away?

It doesn't.

I want him found.

And I want him found now!

He couldn't have gotten very far.

That's what I think.

He hasn't called in.

I don't like this.

We're going in. Can you get the search voice? You got him. What do you want me

to do? Go check Carlos' apartment.

You got him.

You can't just throw me out. You know the rules.

You stole from the community.

You cannot stay here.

Fine.

I'll go.

But you ain't seen the last of me.

Not by a long shot.

Get out of my way.

Get out.

Daniel.

There's something you need to see.

Oh, my God.

This man needs a doctor.

No. No, we can't. I think he may be wanted.

And you brought him here?

I owed it to him.

A few days ago, some men attacked me.

They thought I stole something from them.

And this man stopped them. He didn't have to, but he did.

I promised him if I could ever return the favor. You gave your word, and we'll

honor that.

But if you really want to honor your promise to this man, you'll get him some

help.

Mom's got dinner.

What am I going to do, huh?

What am I supposed to do?

Trent?

Trent?

Trent, I'm thirsty, Trent.

Trent, turn the light on.

We still haven't heard from Detective Sandoval.

We have to assume something's gone wrong.

So we're going to bust through the Carol's drug cartel.

I've got the warrant. Oh, great. Thanks, Alex.

All right, let's go.

Now, it's very important. Have you seen him?

Hey, Paco, what about this guy?

Listen, we're looking for a friend of ours. He's about 5 '11", 185 pounds,

as dark hair.

He may be wounded. We've got to find him.

You say he's a friend of yours?

Yeah, that's right.

How good of a friend is he?

Real good.

The easier way, the harder way, guys.

Good choice.

Well, we got everyone but Johnny Freeman, Paco Montalvo, and one or ten.

Why don't you take them back to Ranger headquarters?

See if you can make them talk.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to look for Carlos.

Mr.

McCoy.

Charlie, what are you doing here? It's about your friend, Herb.

You need to come with me. Come on, get in the car.

You are not welcome here.

Why don't you tell that to my friends?

Just get out of the way. No, you must leave.

Next one takes a bullet.

He's in here.

He was right here. I swear he was right here.

All right, they've hidden him.

Tell me where he is.

Tell me where he is.

Or she dies.

Hello?

Yeah, Walker, it's Trevette.

What's up?

Got a call from Trent Malloy. Says a homeless guy has Carlos at a homeless

encampment down at the end of Commerce.

Supposed to be pretty badly hurt.

I'll check it out. All right. See ya.

Which way?

That way?

Come on.

Over there?

Come on.

Over there?

Over there?

So?

I see you took the hard way.

Well, that doesn't surprise me.

You probably were stupid too.

Easy, Jackie Chan.

I don't know who you are, mister, but you made a bad mistake.

I'll call an ambulance.

I'm going to make your body hang in there.

And the drug bust was a success?

What about Johnny Primo?

He's dead.

The rest are awaiting trial. And thanks to your good work, they are all going to

go away for a very long time.

How about Carol?

We'll get in Carlos.

It's just a matter of time.

Johnny, was that about Carol?

What are you talking about?

Johnny made up El Vaquero in order to give himself an advantage in

So he would be the good guy and El Vaquero would be the heavy.

Yeah. Probably thought if he ever got caught, he could buy himself leniency by

giving him up.

That was smart.

Yeah.

Well, there's something else, Carlos.

What? Yeah, when we were talking to Paco Montalvo and Juan Ortiz, they revealed

that they were both there when Johnny killed Hector.

He killed your brother because he wouldn't deal drugs.

Hector was trying to get clean and Johnny wanted to keep him dirty.

When he couldn't do that, he killed him as a warning to everybody else.

All this time, I thought...

Cause behind those rangers are upon you.

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

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

So that's where the rangers wanna be.
