All right.

Don't tell me.

I know what the card is.

Three of hearts.

Queen of spades.

Stupid book.

I know a magic trick.

You do not. Yeah, I do.

I can tell you every card in that deck without looking at them. You cannot.

Yes, I can.

Shuffle the deck and I'll show you.

Queen of hearts.

And a club.

Jack of clubs.

Ten of diamonds.

Jack of hearts.

How'd you do that?

Trevatt, you know the magician's code. If I tell you, I got to kill you.

Walker.

Okay, Gage. We'll meet you there.

That was Gage. He's going down sooner than expected.

They're meeting El León this afternoon.

How's the new ranger doing?

Let's go find out.

You're El León.

Indeed I am.

Ramon here has told me a lot about you two.

So you've been our best customers and now you're looking to take a step up.

That's right.

If you can handle it.

And believe me, I can handle it.

But before I meet with anyone, I'd like to know who I'm dealing with.

And as a matter of fact, I checked you both out personally.

You know, it's a funny thing.

Couldn't find anything on either one of you.

What are you talking about?

What I'm talking about...

You either don't exist or you're cops.

Since I'm standing right here looking at both of you, that means you do exist.

I told you this wasn't going to work.

I told you Elion was too smart for this.

It's not because he's so smart. It's because you're so stupid.

Well, who are you calling so stupid, huh?

Oh, yeah.

Lousy cops.

Ashley, we're not cops.

We're Texas Rangers.

Get him out of here.

Hey, Walker, for that. Nice to know your timing is still excellent.

Hey, Ranger Cook.

Nice work, you two.

Thank you. Yeah, Rangers have been after LA on for years. You two are the first

to get this deep inside the organization.

Well, it took us nine months, but it did pay off.

I have to give most of the credit here to Sidney, though.

I got us in the door, but she really kept us in the game.

I was quick thinking back there when they had to drop on us. Yeah?

I mean, considering I'm stupid.

Hey, hey, I had to think of something to say.

It was good work for your first assignment.

Thank you, Range Walker.

Let's go.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Stupid. I had to say something?

Could have been something else. Ow!

Feed him a weep, gentlemen. Three lovely ladies.

That's fucking good.

Well,

that sure will beat these three ducks.

But it won't beat this pair of sixes with them.

A pair of sixes? You got a full house?

Built it with my own hands.

I thought you were bluffing. Now, come on, Joe.

Texas Ranger for 30 years. You know I'm not going to be lying to bluffing

anybody.

Tell you what, I'll, uh, I'll see that nickel and I'll, uh, I'll bump you a

quarter.

You're bluffing.

Maybe I am, maybe I'm not.

I'll show you a quarter to see.

Excuse me. A little looky here.

I misread the hand.

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

wrong from right.

Because the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

Even though 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.

In case there's any trouble, who do you want to take?

I'll take the Conchal brothers.

Yeah, right.

Well, that means I get Big Lou.

Well, you know the saying, Trevette. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

I was going to say the harder they hit. That sounds good, too.

Hey, Big Lou.

Is that any way to treat your parole officer?

When we get through with you, you're going to think he got off easy.

Okay,

we were both right.

He hits harder and he falls harder.

Yeah, Ranger Trevette.

All right, Alex.

We're on our way.

Alex says you need to set the Ranger off. Stay fast.

Walker.

Trevette.

I'd like you to meet Richard Mason. Richard is the governor's top policy

advisor. Richard, the governor specifically asked that the two of you

this.

Handle what?

The tape arrived at the governor's office this morning.

Yesterday afternoon, a group of men in Dallas were infected with anthrax

bacteria.

By this morning... These men will think they have the common cold.

By tomorrow, the symptoms will worsen, and on the following day, they'll all be

dead.

And this is just the beginning.

Is this for real?

I'm afraid so, Ranger Trident.

This also came along with the videotape.

That's anthrax? Enough to kill everyone in this building.

I'm sorry, I have to get back to Austin.

Alex, you will keep me informed.

Absolutely.

Walker,

the guy on the video says that a group of men have already been infected.

How are we going to get to them in time?

We're going to have to call every hospital and doctor in the Metroplex and

them on alert for anyone that comes in with a cold or the flu.

Get the staff to start making the calls.

I'll contact the news media.

This is Ranger Chivette.

Yeah, I need your staff to start contacting us. Why did he warn us?

I got y 'all some vittles.

Whoa. Hey, big dog, that's gross.

Hey, golly, I got a head cold.

Just come on this morning.

A cold?

Yeah, I just come on this morning. I was fit as a fiddle yesterday. Here, take

these.

Let's get him to the hospital.

Come on. Come on.

What? What the hell are you guys talking about? Are you crazy?

It's a real good thing you brought him in when you did.

A situation like this every minute counts.

You're sure it's anthrax?

Positive. Five minutes.

Five minutes. That's all I need with those sons of bees.

I'll teach them a lesson or two.

Doc, how am I doing?

You're doing good, C .D. Just breathe easy.

Okay. I'll be back.

Much obliged.

Hey, Bingo.

You think you can tell us where you were yesterday afternoon?

Jimmy, I can't believe you.

I'm here for anthrax, not Alzheimer's. Hell yes, I can tell you where I was

yesterday afternoon.

Every Monday afternoon, I'm down at the VFW playing poker.

D .D., we need a list of everyone that was there yesterday.

All of them?

Everyone.

I can do that.

Okay, good.

Fortunately, you found him all in time. Another 24 hours would have been a

completely different story.

Walker, what's going on here?

I don't know.

But I get the feeling we're going to find out.

Well, they have 48 hours till this baby blows.

Yeah, we appreciate it.

Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta say there's no practical way to track

down the origin of the anthrax.

We have another tape.

Monday's action was just a warning.

The purpose of the action was to demonstrate our capability and our

This anthrax, along with a state -of -the -art delivery system, has been

installed in a secure location somewhere in Dallas.

As you are listening to this, the clock is ticking. In less than 48 hours, by

noon on Friday, Dallas will be blanketed with a cloud of anthrax spores, enough

deadly bacteria to kill an estimated one million people, unless our demands are

met in a full and timely fashion.

First, $100 million will be wired...

To this account, the International Bank of the Caymans.

Second, we are demanding the immediate release of five of our comrades in arms,

freedom fighters who have been unfairly and unjustly incarcerated. They are

Rufus Harrelson, Lorenzo Silva, Arthur

Woodson, Peter Clement, Dexter Lawton. There will be no...

Further contact.

The timer is set. The operation is at go.

Meet our demands or one million people will die.

It's entirely up to you.

Have a nice day.

The governor wants you to set up a task force to stop this. And he's authorized

me to give you his personal assurance that you will have the full resources of

the state of Texas at your disposal. Anyone, anybody that you need.

Ms. Cahill here will be the liaison between the governor's office and your

force.

I'll be in touch.

Task force.

Yeah, the governor's right.

We're going to need all the help we can get on this one. You have anyone in

mind?

Yeah, I do.

You should have seen the look on Gage's face.

Boy, it was great.

Ricky!

Ricky, Ricky.

Why do you have to make this difficult? You know I've got to take you in. What,

you think you can?

Yeah, I think I can.

Not that I'm complaining, but to what do I owe the pleasure?

You've got a new assignment.

What is it?

You'll be working with Walker and me.

Look, you're going to need a new partner.

How about Phil Jefferson over in Amarillo?

Don't get me wrong, Walker feels a good ranger, but...

If you're giving me the choice, I'd really like my last partner, Sydney.

Sydney Cook.

She's a pretty new ranger. I know. She is still a little green, but I've never

worked with anyone who had better instincts.

Okay, it's your call.

Thanks. Thanks, Walker.

Meet our demands, or one million people will die.

Have a nice day.

Here it is.

Here's everything that we have on the five men identified in the ransom

Why don't you two run background checks on these guys?

Talk to anyone that's been associated with them.

Yes, sir. You got it.

Trevette, I'm going to bring Dan Johnson in on this.

Boy, that amount of anthrax could really make for a lousy weekend.

What else have you got?

That's it.

Whoever these guys are, Dan, they're smart.

We have to assume they planted the anthrax in a place where it would do the

damage. Well, you want me to run simulations on probable locations?

There's a lot of variables.

I have to factor in wind, weather, traffic, the configuration of the

buildings. Can you do it?

Yeah, oh yeah, but it'll take some time.

We've got 22 hours.

Let's check the ventilation system.

That'd be the most likely place to spread the anthrax.

That's how they did it. Call the center for disease control.

Ed, it's Randy Trevette.

Want to wait for CDC?

Yeah, we better.

What's the next move?

Look up there.

Security camera.

Think maybe?

Let's find out.

The quality of the original surveillance tape was pretty low, so I digitized it

into my system.

Now... You say you found the anthrax in the ventilation system?

That's right.

Well?

J .J. Smith Heating and Air Conditioning.

I'll check it out. I already did. There's no such company.

Did you find anything on the tape that would help us identify the guys, Dan?

know, either they knew the camera was there, or they're just a couple of very

lucky hombres.

What about coming out?

No, same deal.

Rent it back to when they first got out of the van.

Run it back again.

Hold it.

Do you notice the reflection in the window?

Well, check it out.

Can you do anything with that?

Eh, let's see.

Let me enhance the image.

Gotcha.

Not a face.

All we need is a name.

Dan, isn't the FBI working on face recognition software?

Yeah, the technology is still pretty primitive, but let me check it out.

Okay. See you later. Yeah.

Rufus Harrison, currently serving 5 -7 in Huntsville.

The Grand Theft Auto.

Doesn't exactly sound like much of a freedom fighter to me. No, he doesn't.

What do you make of all this?

I don't know.

But I'll tell you one thing, if these guys are yanking our chains, I can't

to start yanking back.

Name is Talbot.

Jason Talbot. Up until three years ago, he was a State Department specialist

attached to the U .S. Embassy in Moscow.

Specialist, huh?

Yeah. His file was eyes only.

What happened three years ago?

Well, it seems your boy had a big gambling problem.

Gambling? What kind?

Poker?

Ponies? Uh, yes.

What makes you think he's here?

Well, if he's still gambling, this is where all the players go.

You think that could be him?

Let's go see.

Check.

Jason Talbot?

Yeah, I want to know.

Check the drainage.

Want to stand up?

Checkmate.

He knew the chance he was taking by going down there.

And he knew what the consequences could be.

And now, he knows what he's got to do.

That was Lawson.

They got Taubman.

Talbot won't say a thing.

I wonder if Gage and Sidney found out anything about those cons they wanted

released.

How'd it go?

It didn't. We hit four out of five and came up dry every time.

What about the fifth?

Arthur Woodson.

This is a strange one. Woodson was arrested for running a gun smuggling

operation out of Corpus Christi, providing arms to the rebels in southern

Mexico, but before that, his file is totally blank.

I'm going to go talk to Talbot.

Trevette!

Trevette!

Come on, Doctor.

Yeah, this is Trevette. I got an emergency in the interrogation room. I

doctor.

What'd you find, Mary?

I'll need to run a talk screen to be sure, but my initial guess would be

poisoning.

Okay, thanks.

Cyanide? Where'd he get it?

He hid the pill in his watch.

In his watch?

You mean this guy killed himself rather than talk?

I have a hunch this guy's ex -CIA.

What makes you think that?

For a long time, cyanide tablets were part of the agent's package when they

traveled behind enemy lines.

All right.

Just one question.

When did Dallas end up behind any lines?

Hey, check this out, guys.

What do you got, Dan?

Check out Calvin's social security number.

And this is Woodson's.

Dan, this is Gates of Sydney.

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Sydney, hello.

His numbers are sequential.

Yeah. Well, this confirms it.

The CIA issued them new identity.

Woodson was CIA, too?

Yeah. His file was also eyes only.

It's amazing what you can do when you're determined.

Woodson was bounced from the agency three years ago as a result of a scandal

involving gun smuggling and the Russian mafia.

Russia? Yeah.

Talbot, by the way, was attached to the embassy in Moscow.

You're good, Dan.

Dan, check the other Social Security numbers that are sequential to these.

what we come up with.

You got it.

Dan, what about the simulations on the bomb location?

I'm still working on it.

24 hours till the anthrax blows and we ain't heard nothing. You think they're

going to go for it?

Yes, I do. Well, maybe it is time to give them a little push.

You guys are going to like this one. Guess who has a brother?

Arthur Woodson.

You're good too, Walker.

Yep.

His name is Roger Woodson, who also happens to be ex -CIA.

So the other four prisoners was just a ploy to throw us off track.

Yep.

Roger Woodson is a piece of work, man.

Walker, I've been looking for you everywhere. You've got to be there.

Just over one hour ago, a videotape was delivered to the station.

We have tried to be reasonable.

However, it now appears that reason has failed.

So in less than 24 hours, a cloud of anthrax will blanket the

Metroplex.

Panic on the streets and pandemonium on the highways as Dallas residents flee

the city.

For more on the story, we go now to David Chesterton.

Walker, Richard has something to tell you.

I just got off the phone with the governor, and he has decided to meet

demands. We can't do that.

We have no choice. I'm sorry, but we are looking at a total biological disaster

here. You realize that they could still sit off that explosive device, even if

you do meet their demands.

It's the perfect way for them to escape.

Well, I pray to God that you're wrong, Walker.

Maybe there's another way.

According to my simulations, the ideal placement of the device would be in one

of these 30 locations.

The anthrax is connected to a timer, so we have to assume that the timer's

connected to an explosive device, so be careful.

Dane, what's your best guess on this?

Walker, if I was him, I'd have to put it in one of these two places.

Okay, Trevanton, I'll take those two.

The unit from the Centers for Disease Control and the bomb squad are on alert.

Got two hours.

Let's find this thing.

All right. Let's go.

All right, we got it.

Hey,

we've got contact.

What? What do we got?

We just got an email from the cameras.

The electronic transfer is on its way.

Yes!

Through a link up with Interpol and the law enforcement at Caymans, we were able

to rig a fake transfer. Not only will no money be acquired into the account, but

any time they try to access it, we will have an automatic trace on the

transaction. What happens if they realize the transfer is a fake? Well, in

for them to realize the transfer is a fake, they would have to be smarter than

me.

And, uh, you know, I just don't see that happening.

effort to avoid an unprecedented biological disaster.

The governor has agreed to meet all of the terrorist demands, starting with the

five prisoners they wanted released.

And with the final demands of the terrorists having been met, it seems

Dallas can breathe a sigh of relief.

This is Virginia Watkins from Channel 11 Action News. We did it. A hundred

million bucks in the bank and your brother's a free man.

He'll be here in less than an hour. I'll wait for the device to blow.

And while they're trying to figure out how to inoculate a million people, we

flying out of here.

There are only two other locations the anthrax can be.

Walker!

There's nothing up here!

There are 12 minutes left.

It's the last shot.

Red up there take a look

A

new lock

Think it's in there?

Got to be.

Well, if it is, then how are we going to open it without drawing the explosive

device?

Hold the box.

You going to try to disarm it?

I don't want to take a chance.

Get a chopper up here.

Tell them they have to be up here in five minutes.

Sergeant Trevette, we need a chopper at Pearl and Elm.

Yeah, get it here, quick.

That's 4 ,500 legs.

Okay, thanks.

That was Sydney.

They got a location.

Hey, big brother, I'm out.

All right.

We go in two hours.

That's two, huh?

Wait a minute.

Something's wrong.

And, once again, it appears that the Texas Rangers have saved the day.

Karen, back to you in the studio.

Damn it.

All right. We've all got tickets and fake passports. We meet in Reno on

Thursday. Now, let's get out of here. Texas Rangers can't win!

You're not taking me back. I'm not going back to Britain.

Really?

Yes, sir!

You gotta tell me.

How did you find us?

Still out of that old CIA inquisitiveness.

Should we tell him, Walker?

Why not?

Ooh, very good. Very good.

Here you go, Cornell.

Here, what ails you? So we are, huh? We are.

Absolutely. I mean, when we were in the FBI Academy at Quantico, everybody

talked about you. Oh, I love this. You did.

Hear that, Walker? They're talking about us at the FBI Academy.

All right, tell me what they're saying about us.

Long version.

Okay, well, everybody talked about Walker's arrest record and his martial

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I know, I know.

What about me? What about my arrest record?

My computer skills. I talked about my computer skills.

Well, um... Gage, don't hang me up, brother. Well, actually, Trevette, all

anyone ever talked about really was that time you went undercover as a male

stripper in Lubbock.

Uh -oh.

Let's not go there.

They say the little old ladies in Lubbock are still talking about your,

Back yield in motion.

God,

you're not hungry anymore?

Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

And all you do, he's gonna see.

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

Cause that's where the rangers run.
