Miss Sanchez, you made a call?

Yes, I called.

That poor boy.

He shoot him because he did not want to join the gang.

Did you recognize who did it? Yes.

It was Loco.

Loco Chavez.

He's the one who shoot that boy.

Thank you, ma 'am.

Loco Chavez.

Leader of the Fire Lake Bloods. Yeah.

Let's go get him.

Living on the dark side.

Living on the dark side.

Loco Chavez.

Loco Chavez.

Yeah, Santa.

Edmundo Chavez, I'm placing you under arrest for the murder of Felipe Aguilar.

Don't even think about it, guys.

What do you want us to do, loco?

It's okay, fellas.

They got nothing.

Oh, wait.

Let me guess.

You got a witness?

Well, let me tell you something, Anthony. They had a witness last time.

And the time before that. And the time before that.

So I don't care about no witness.

Keep it tight, fellas.

I'll be back before you get a chance to miss me.

Sure you will. Go.

Living on the dark side.

You were at home at the time of the murder, is that correct?

Yes. Could you please tell us what happened? I hear a gunshot, so I go to

front window and I look outside.

Okay.

Take your time.

Tell us exactly what you saw.

I saw a man lying on the ground.

And I see another man with a gun.

He shoot him.

Then I saw him...

Get into a car and drive away. Did you see that man's face?

Yes.

Is that man in the courtroom today?

Yes. Would you please identify him?

It was him.

Thank you.

Let the record show that the witness indicated the defendant.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

Your witness?

May I approach the witness, Your Honor?

Thank you.

You having trouble with your glasses?

Yes, I need them adjusted. They are new.

I know.

You picked them up just last Wednesday.

That is right.

And can you see better with your new glasses?

Yes, much better.

I'm sure you can.

According to a doctor's report, you had a radical change in your lens

prescription. Even though you were wearing your old glasses and it was

dark, you say you clearly saw this man.

I'm sure it was him.

Miss Sanchez, you keep saying him.

Do you know his name?

Yes.

Loco.

Loco Chavez.

Could you please tell the court what do you know about Mr. Chavez?

He's part of a gang that is terrorizing... Hiding the neighborhood.

So you don't like him.

Isn't that right, Mrs. Sanchez? You do not like my client. And because you

like him, you thought you'd do the neighborhood a favor by getting rid of

Isn't that true? In fact, you hate him, don't you? No. Isn't that true? Yes.

Yes.

I mean... I submit that you cannot positively identify the man that you saw

that my client is an innocent victim of your prejudice. No.

No.

No further questions, Your Honor.

Sorry, Miss Cahill. I know I let you down. You did your best, Hannah.

Does this mean that Loco will go free?

No, not yet. We have one more witness. Your neighbor, Mr. Mercado. Bitch.

You better keep your doors locked, lady.

Don't let him frighten you. Come on.

Hey, Adam.

Where's your helmet?

I'm not more than that stupid piece of plastic.

Oh, yes, you are, young man.

Let's go.

Hi. Welcome to Station 76.

My name is Jacob Crossland. How are you doing today?

Hi. All right.

Now, I've been a firefighter for 12 years. Thank you, Dad.

A firefighter's job is to save lives and property. Yeah. Wow. You do work as a

team. That's cool.

I wish my dad was a fireman. You just think you do.

Fireman stuff is corny. Adam. Now, all of our responsibilities are not

or exciting. You can just ask Mr. Keith over there. What do you say, Keith?

Well, I, you know, just... Meant to do that?

Now, when we're not out on a call, what we have to do is we have to make sure

that all of our equipment is in excellent working condition.

Now, what do you say we take a closer look at this fire engine, huh?

Who would like to blow the siren?

Me!

How about you? Come here, young lady.

Let's get up here in the officer's seat.

And put your foot on that button right there.

Ho!

That's the fun part.

Now, as you can see, firefighter has a whole lot of different responsibilities.

I remember when this was a good place to live. Lots of loving families and

friends who cared.

Well, it can be again.

Putting Loco behind bars is the beginning of the end of the Fire Lake

Gang. I wish I could have been of more help.

Maybe someday the gangs will be gone.

Maybe someday soon.

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

wrong from right.

Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

Any home you do, he's gonna see.

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

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

What am I going to do?

You can stay at the center for as long as you need.

Gracias, Mr. Cut.

Real sorry about your house, ma 'am.

We got here as soon as we could.

These things are never bad as they appear.

Want to go take a look?

Alex, I've been, uh...

I needed to stop by the center and see you.

I want to thank you for letting Adam perform his community service at the

center. Well, I'm just glad the judge agreed.

And spray paint and park cars. I can't believe he did that.

Luann and I tried too hard for that.

Adam is a good boy.

It's just a difficult age.

I mean, you know how peer pressure can be overwhelming.

I hope he learned his lesson.

Anyone hurt?

No.

Thank goodness Hannah wasn't home.

You know what caused it? Found fragments from a gasoline firebomb.

Want to take a look? Yeah.

Adam.

Father's going to be on TV. No big deal. Who cares?

You should care. He's your father.

Turn it up.

You heard that?

Yeah.

I heard it.

What? If you would like to help Hannah, please contact the Dallas Help Our

People Excel Center.

Mom, can I play my game now?

Not right now.

Hi,

honey. I saw you on the news.

I guess I shouldn't have.

Mouled off like that, huh?

Just shows you care.

Dad, you got ten bucks?

What for? I want to go to Raging Waters with Lee. Adam, you're grounded until

you finish your community service, remember?

All right, look, I'll tell you what we can do.

I'll give you the ten bucks. We'll go over to see Miss Cahill at the center.

can give it to that lady whose house burned down. What do you say? Miss

center? Yeah.

I don't want to go there.

I have to go there every day. Son, we are going there, and that's final. Now,

come on. Why should I go with you, huh?

You never go to my soccer games. I only miss those games when I'm on duty.

You're always on duty! That's the only time I miss those games.

I hate that dumb old job, and I hate you!

Hey!

You can hate me all you want, but you will not disrespect me.

Now, you go in your room and get your stuff. We're leaving. That's it.

Go on.

Oh, thank you.

All right, good night. I'll see you.

Anyway, go. Good.

Look who's here.

We brought a few things for Hannah.

Hi, I'm Jacob's wife, Luanne.

Thank you.

Thank you. Our son, Adam, had something he'd like to give you, too.

Sorry about your house.

Here. It's for you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I am sorry, Miss Cahill, but I just can't risk it. But you're an eyewitness

the murder, Mr. Mercado.

I mean, your testimony is crucial to Loco's conviction.

I know.

But look at what happened to Hannah.

If it was just me, it would be different.

But I have my family, my daughter and my grandson to think about. And how safe

do you think your family's going to be if Loco goes free?

I know you're right.

Believe me.

The best thing you can do for your family, for yourself, for your

is to testify.

I gotta go.

I can't be late for work.

Please, Mr. Mercado.

Please. Think of your grandson.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could grow up in a neighborhood without gangs?

I'm sorry.

Hey, Chato.

No way Loco's going to prison this time, homie. A blood never abandons a

brother.

Look, there's beef.

Yeah, that vato's supposed to testify against Loco.

Oh, that's not gonna happen.

My coffee's cold.

No L -Rod, no guns, and my coffee's cold.

Sky supplies guns to half the gangs in Dallas.

Nobody sees anything, and my coffee's cold.

Let's have some music.

I said music.

That's better.

That is music.

Don't touch it.

Because that's where the Rangers are going to be.

Here we go Elrod.

Show these boys what they're getting for their money.

Texas Rangers drop your guns!

FUUUUU -

What are you going to do now?

Nothing. Nothing, Paul.

Smart move. Let's go.

Hey, neighbor.

Hola, Joe.

How's it going?

Slow, Joe. Real slow.

He's so beautiful.

Look at you.

Just yesterday, you were a little baby yourself.

What's going

on?

Sarita, I need to talk to you. Sit down. Come on.

Did you see Miss Cahill today?

Yes.

She wants me to testify against Loco.

What do you think I should do?

You always told me that if I did what's right, things would work out, eh?

Do you still believe that?

Oh, yes, I do, but it could get very dangerous for you and the baby.

Papa, it's dangerous now.

I can't argue with that.

I guess I'll call Miss Kate in the morning.

Don't worry.

Papa, will you watch the baby while I go out for some groceries, eh? Sure.

Okay.

Good.

It's time for the next witness to burn.

There's no way to put this one out, huh, Chaco?

That's pretty good music.

Well, I would say so.

If you didn't like it, I'd send you to a therapist.

I like it.

I like it. I like it.

You

say

we let old Keith win a hand before we get done, gentlemen?

Nope.

If Lady Luck's tired of you, she can come sit right here.

I'll open.

Give me three.

Give me two.

Say, how's that boy of yours doing?

I don't know. It seems like every time we start a conversation, we get into an

argument. That's a tough age. Give him time.

When I was his age, I was a lot worse than he is. Look at me now.

Two.

And I will take three.

Well, gentlemen, it's going to cost you four.

You bet, Keith.

Sure bet.

Boys ready?

Farm.

76, we're on the scene. Over.

What the heck was that?

There's a gunshot fired over here. Gunshot fired. I repeat, gunshot.

Get us out of here, kids.

Get us out of here now.

Hold on!

You all right, Leo? Tanner, you all right?

It's Ranger Trevette. We're on it.

What do you want to do? I don't know.

Yeah,

you can say that again.

Come on, we'll cover you.

the bedroom.

Here, take the baby.

My baby!

Is my baby okay?

She's not breathing.

I'm sorry.

It's all right. It's going to be all right.

Thank you.

Good work.

Just breathe easy. Breathe easy.

Make sure he's got some air.

Jacob, no!

Come on.

Come on.

Hang in there.

Doctor?

Miss Crosland, I was able to remove the bullet, but I'm afraid it's caused

extensive damage.

Will he be all right? Well...

I don't want to build false hopes. He's still not out of the woods.

And if he does live, there may well be paralysis.

I'm sorry.

You know, I always thought that he might get hurt.

Someday, or that he might get burned.

But to be shot for doing his job?

This isn't right.

This isn't fair.

Luann, two people are alive because of Jacob.

But why did it have to be my dad?

Because he's a very brave man, Adam.

We have a problem.

What is it?

I just spoke to the hospital.

Pete Mercado is going to be fine, but he's suffering from smoke inhalation.

He won't be able to testify for a few days.

We don't have a few days.

Someone in the neighborhood must have seen something.

Yeah. I'm prepared and I'll check it out.

This is Seltzer.

I'm Ranger Walker. This is Ranger Trivette. Yeah? Sir, we need to ask you

the murder that happened out here recently.

Look, uh, I don't know anything about that.

I mean, I heard about it, but, uh, I didn't see nothing.

What about the incident that happened here yesterday?

The fire and the killing?

Were you here?

Yeah. Want to tell us what you saw?

Well, nothing.

I mean, I must have been inside watching TV.

Sir, it was like World War III out here. Look, uh...

I got nothing else to say, okay? So, please, just leave me alone.

You sure seem scared.

Yeah.

Too scared.

Okay, okay.

I did what you said.

This is time, Ed.

But what about Nick?

Huh?

Thanks.

You saved my life.

You can thank us by telling us what happened yesterday.

You say any time.

Next time, we may not be here to save you.

It was Tuesday.

I remember because it was trash day.

I was taking out my trash when I heard the gunshots.

That's when I saw him.

Local Travis?

Yeah, local.

He shot him.

Came around the car.

Shot him one last time.

Got in the car.

Drove away.

Mr. Salazar, could you please tell us where you were at the time of the

shooting? On the side of the house, bringing out my trash.

And what did you hear?

Mr.

Salazar, what did you hear?

A noise.

Could you be more specific?

Maybe a car backfiring.

Mr. Salazar, are you aware that you are under oath?

Yeah. Then why don't you confirm that the noise you heard actually was a

gunshot? Objection, Your Honor. The prosecution's leading the witness.

Sustained.

Okay, Mr. Salazar, in your own words, would you please describe the noise?

Uh, a car backfiring. And what exactly did you see after the noise?

Nothing.

I didn't see nothing.

Are you saying that you didn't see the defendant, Loco Chavez, standing over

victim with a gun?

That's right.

No further questions, Your Honor.

It might help if you talk about it.

The situation is beyond help.

Loco is going to walk.

Joe lied under oath today, and I've got no more witnesses.

I almost can't blame them. They're so afraid of what might happen.

How's Jacob?

No change.

He's still in a coma. He's, um, he's still critical.

How is Adam taking it?

Just before Jacob left for work, he and Adam had an argument.

It really tore Adam up.

He loves his dad. He does.

But things were said.

I'll go talk to him.

Thanks, Ranch Walker.

Didn't mean it.

Didn't mean what?

Told my dad I hated him.

Didn't mean it. I don't hate you, Dad. God, I don't.

Ranger Walker.

Is my dad gonna die?

Only God can answer that, Adam.

Maybe we should talk to him.

Dear God, please, please don't let my dad die.

I know he'd go to heaven and be with you and Jesus if he did.

But I don't want him to die.

Would you please make him well?

Please, God, please.

Amen. Amen.

Here, let me help you.

It's a long reach.

Look at this.

And in alphabetical order.

Adam, I'm proud of you.

Thanks, Ms. Cahill.

You know, you only have an hour and 15 minutes left in your community service.

Ms. Cahill, I was wondering.

What is it?

Could I, uh, like, still help out sometimes after school?

You mean volunteer?

Of course you can. It would be wonderful.

We'd love to have you.

You keep up the good work. I'm going to go help in the art class.

You've got to help me.

They're trying to kill me. Who?

The Fire Lake Bloods.

Josie, get the kids in the back room.

Stay down.

the bottles.

You're all under arrest.

I didn't tell you the truth.

I saw Loco shoot that man.

And I saw all of them shooting at the fire engine.

I saw him too.

I'll testify against Loco. I saw the murder.

Me too.

I did too.

Well, I'm sure the judge will declare a mistrial and you'll all have the

opportunity to testify.

It looked like we may get our neighborhood back after all.

If your father had seen how you handled yourself in there, he would have been

very proud.

Putting their lives on the line in the face of incredible odds.

Ladies and gentlemen, that is the true meaning of heroism. And with that in

mind... At this time, would Keith Rockwell please come forward?

For your action.

above and beyond the call of duty, and for placing your life in extreme danger

to save others.

It is my privilege to present to you the Distinguished Service Medal.

Our next award is a very special tribute to the bravery of

Jacob Crossland.

For 12 years, he served in Station 76.

Four weeks ago, he was shot while saving a man from a burning house.

I think all of us who have worked with him would agree that the name Jacob

Crossman represents the finest example of what a firefighter strives to be.

Because of his heroic act, the man he rescued is with us here this evening.

That is why I am so proud to present the department's highest award, the Medal

of Valor, to Jacob Crossman.

Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you, and you leave all your duties on

seat, when your detectives look behind you.

Cause that's where the ranger is.
