I got some of the freight down back there, ma 'am.

Sarah!

Don't.

Don't. Nick, stay here.

You got my money?

I said you call this fresh fish?

I've seen fresher fish on the wall at Red Lobster. You know something? You

wouldn't know a fresh fish if the thing jumped in your boat.

Take this ranger!

Any questions?

Put it down.

Now if you want to continue.

No

drugs.

This is ridiculous.

We're fishermen.

bad news walker the dog went through the entire warehouse we turned this place

upside down came up empty see it's like i told you we're fishermen

bozos is that right the knee

What would prevent the dog from filling the drug?

The fish.

Hey, Gay, what fish do you think is large enough to hide some drugs?

The drug.

Absolutely.

Don't you love quizzes?

Bozo, get him out of here.

I don't care. I still don't think this is a good time to be taking a vacation.

I mean, what if something goes down?

You're going to have a heck of a time trying to reach me.

Alex won't even let me take my truck.

Walker, I checked it out.

The bad guys are on vacation, too.

Okay. Go on vacation. Have a good time.

Sheesh.

So how do I look? Oh, my goodness.

You look so beautiful in that fishing hat. Thank you, C .D. I will take great

care of it. Now, there's just one thing, honey. When you're fishing, you've got

to have a lot of patience.

C .D., the one thing I definitely have is patience.

Joey, get that piece of garbage out of here.

Ace, we need another shot.

Julie, be cool.

I'm cool. Shut up.

on film, make a lot of money. Thank you, honey.

Cheers. Thanks.

Oh, man, I could go for a cigar.

Hey, they're on my desk. Let me get that one.

So do you, girl.

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

wrong from right.

Because the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

Anything 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.

I'm going to make a lot of money.

We'll all be happy. Hey, Julie, where you been?

None of your business.

Go check it out.

Hey, Julie, Mr. Ronson wants to meet you.

Yeah.

Francis. Sis?

Hey, I've been trying to reach you for a week. I know. I got all your messages,

but I've been on an assignment.

An assignment?

Yeah, for... Sis?

For one of the local newspapers.

Francis, listen.

I have got a story that's going to take me straight to the top.

That's great, sis. What's it about?

Well, I can't talk right now.

But I'll tell you all about it the minute I get to Dallas.

You're coming here? When?

Right now?

Well, I've got to make one quick stop and pick some stuff up.

So I'll see you in a couple of hours. Okay, great. You got it. Oh, hey, sis.

Yeah. I'm really proud of you. You know that, right?

Thanks. Thanks.

Love you.

I love you, too, Jules.

Bye.

Mr. Ronson wants to talk to you.

Okay, I'll be there in a minute.

Oh, no, Kurt Hart. He wants to talk to you now.

Move it.

All right, this is Hot Coast.

Who are you?

My name is Julie Gage.

I'm a reporter for the Parkerville Gazette.

I've gathered enough information on you and all of your activity to put you away

for a very long time.

I don't think so.

Go ahead.

But you should probably know that if he kills me, you're coming along for the

ride. What are you talking about?

I could say that I've put all of that very important information in a very

place.

And in the event of my untimely demise, all of that information goes straight to

the authorities.

She's bluffing.

Maybe I am.

Maybe I'm not.

You want to roll those dice?

I still don't know why we didn't take my truck.

No way, cowboy.

You promised me three days, and that's what I'm going to get.

No radio, no cell phone, no disruption.

Just you, me, and my trusty wedding planner.

Wedding planner?

Just kidding.

Would you lighten up?

Sort of kidding.

Jules? No, this is Sydney.

Who's Jules?

Oh, it's my sister.

Syd, where are you? I'm at work.

You know where you're supposed to be?

Oh, what time is it?

9 .15.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

Yep, sure is.

You are not going to get away with this.

Hook on the bar.

Oh, no.

Don't like that, baby.

I have a record of everything, Slater.

Good morning, guys. Sorry I'm late.

What's wrong?

Well, I'm just a little worried about my sister, that's all. Why?

Julie's a freelance writer. You know, she writes magazine articles, short

stories, stuff like that. She calls me last night, tells me she's working on

this really big story in Parkerville. It's up by the Oklahoma border, right?

Yeah, near Lake Texoma.

She was going to come by my apartment last night. She was going to fill me in

all the details, and then she never showed up.

I mean, you know, it's probably nothing, but, I don't know, it just doesn't feel

right. Why don't you take a drive up there, see what's going on?

Yeah. You know, that's what I was thinking.

What do you think?

You should go along.

I'm going.

Gage!

You know, I've always wanted to see Parkerville.

Oh, really? Yeah. In fact, I hear it's particularly lovely this time of year.

Hmm.

I don't believe it. We finally did it.

Alone, together.

I'm in heaven.

Hello, fellow campers.

Hey there.

Hi there. Oh, there.

Hi. Hi. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Bison Patrol Leader Stanley

Chamberlain, and this is Bison Patrol, uh, 48.

Cordell Walker. Hi.

Alex Cahill. Pleasure. Pleasure to make your acquaintance. My, you have

certainly picked a lovely campsite.

Mind if we share it?

Um... Look, look, I know this is an awful imposition, but we've been hiking

morning, and to tell the truth, I think I've gotten us rather lost.

You see, between you and me, I'm not actually a bison patrol leader. Oh, no,

a gynecologist, merely filling in for my brother.

No pun intended.

And that he was actually supposed to leave this trip, but unfortunately, he

ill. And not wanting to disappoint the boys, I volunteered to replace him.

Although, I seem to have made quite a mess of things.

We'd be happy to help you, John. Really? Are you sure you don't mind?

No, it's... I mean, if you'd rather be alone, because you're young and healthy,

I understand. It's fine.

Because, you know, if you're doing this just to be nice... Yes, sir.

It's okay.

Great. Oh, great.

Thank you.

Bye. Call out.

Welcome.

You're just too soft, Alex.

Our parents died when I was eight, and Julie was ten.

What happened?

Well, it was just before Christmas, and they were coming home from her church

social, and the roads were icy, and... Sorry?

The doctor said they never knew what hit them, so...

But after that, nobody really knew what to do with us. One of our aunts wanted

to take us both in, but she could only afford one of us.

I told Julie to go, and she wouldn't.

Julie's so stubborn.

But she said no matter what, we had to stick together.

You know what? Good for her.

Yeah. Yeah, I guess.

We ended up in a foster care group home. I know a lot of those places are really

great places, but this one...

It wasn't. And, well, we got beat pretty often.

For some reason, Julie always seemed to get the worst of it, too.

Even so, she never, ever said a word about leaving.

She sounds pretty special.

Yeah.

Yeah, she is.

Thank you, Mr.

Well, good play.

Clear.

Clear.

They did a number on the bedroom.

Kitchen, too.

I wonder what they were looking for.

I don't know.

But whatever it is, they want it back.

See this?

Heroin. Pure, simple.

A few days of this, you can tell us everything we want to know.

Isn't that right?

I told her it was too dangerous.

But she wouldn't listen to me.

So what was she working on? She said it was some kind of an investigative piece

about a local businessman named B .J.

Ronson. Ronson?

You know him?

Yeah, I know him. The Rangers have been after B .J. Ronson for years.

Drugs, murder, prostitution.

He's been picked up probably a dozen times, but nobody can ever seem to make

anything stick.

Rumor has it he's got connections all over the state.

Law enforcement, politicians, judges.

That's what really got your sister's goat.

was the idea that somehow Ronson was untouchable.

So where do we find Ronson? He owns a couple of businesses in the area, but he

spends most of his time out at a club he owns on the edge of town. It's called

Tall Cotton.

Go. Thank you. You're welcome.

Thank you.

Why don't you get us a couple of rooms and give Trevette a call?

Ask him to dig up whatever he can on B .J.

Ronson. All right. What are you going to do?

Go check out Tall Cotton.

What would you like?

Well, uh, job would be nice. What kind of job?

Bouncer will do.

Sorry, pal.

We're all full up.

Okay, then.

I'll take a beer, please.

Yeah.

You got an attitude, man.

Yeah, and I'm fixing to get something started, too. Yeah?

Yeah. What's up with that, huh?

Settle down.

Guys, that's enough.

That's the dude I was telling you about.

You alright?

Thanks, man.

No mention.

You

handled

your stuff pretty good.

Thank you. You a cop?

Yeah, I'm a regular Texas Ranger.

That's pretty funny.

But Ace says you're looking for work. Is that true?

That's true.

Here's we have an opening.

That is if work's what you're really looking for.

All right.

Hook him up, Ace.

There you go, Stanley.

Oh, thanks, Cordella. Couldn't have done it without you.

Booker, I was so planning on being alone.

They'll only be here for one day.

We'll have two whole days together.

No.

All right.

You're right.

Okay, Bison, let's go dig that latrine.

Feel comfortable around men?

Yes, sir, I believe I do.

Think you can handle a place like this?

I think so.

What do you think?

I like it.

All right, you're hired.

You start tonight.

All right. I promise you I won't disappoint you.

I'm sure you won't.

All right.

I'll see you all then.

I imagine.

Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Yes. You think you're too good for me? Hey, hey, hey, hey.

That's enough.

What'd you say?

I said that's enough.

Real tough guy, huh?

Okay. Let's see how tough you really are.

I like him.

Yeah, he's working out all right.

This is more what I had in mind.

Can I eat this?

Come here.

Let me see it.

What's your name?

Tim. Well, Tim, do you know what this is?

It's a mushroom.

Yeah, but it's a poisonous mushroom.

Really? Really.

You know, it's very hard to tell a poisonous mushroom from one that isn't

poisonous, so...

My advice to you is not to eat anything you pick up in the woods, okay?

Yes, sir.

Now, why make this difficult?

Huh?

Just tell us what we want to know.

It'll be all over.

Good.

Got help?

Do it. Got it.

Hold still!

What you got?

New uniforms.

Later, went and picked this out personally this afternoon.

He's got to be kidding.

Are you really going to wear that?

Look, I don't know about you, but I got two kids.

I need this job.

Oh, and the pink fur goes in the front.

Can I get two beers, please?

Thank you.

It's a lovely uniform.

You're just jealous because you don't get to wear one.

What about the three students?

I don't know. They left about 20 minutes ago.

Yeah?

Well, well, well.

What do we got here?

Look, I don't want any trouble here.

Ain't going to be no trouble at all.

All right, boys.

That's enough.

Mind your own business.

Well, now you see, she's my friend, which makes it my business.

One beating wasn't enough, huh?

You okay?

Yeah. Yeah?

Karina, I'm a Texas Ranger.

And we're looking for a woman who used to work here.

Julie? Yeah, Julie.

Do you know where she is?

Is she a Texas Ranger, too? No.

No.

She was a newspaper reporter.

She disappeared. No one seen her or heard from her.

Can you tell me anything?

They took her.

Who took her?

Slater and Mr. Small.

I saw them taking her out the back of the club.

I mean, she wasn't screaming or nothing.

But I still got the feeling that something wasn't right.

wonderful. Even with the bison scouts?

Even with the bison scouts.

Just to be able to relax.

It's so quiet.

Help! Help! Help!

Help! Help!

Help! Help!

Help! Help! Help!

Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help!

Don't move Stanley.

Shame on you.

That's a brave thing you did, Stanley. Brave?

I've never been so scared in all my life.

Look, the boys, I think they're pretty shook up. Could we stay just one more

night? One night. One more.

Yeah, sure. Thank you, darling.

Snakes gone.

It's all gone. No more snakes. Talk about a softie.

Did I tell you how much I love you?

Thanks, Cordell.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

Hey, what are you doing in there?

Well, actually, I was looking for you two.

You're looking for us? Why?

Well, we had a little problem out back.

What kind of problem?

A couple of the girls got themselves roughed up.

Which one?

Karina and that new girl. I mean, it's not a problem. I took care of it, but I

just thought you should know.

Okay, now we know.

You know, I don't know what it is, but I get a funny feeling I've seen that guy

someplace before.

Where?

I don't know.

It'll come to me.

That's Kevin Parker.

Parker is in Parkerville? His family's been in town about 150 years.

He's chairman of the bank.

Sits on the board of the church.

And B .J. Ronson has him on tape with a couple of hookers and a crack pipe with

cocaine. You know, Karina said she saw Julie leave the club two nights ago with

Slater and Mr. Small. And when Julie called me, she said that she had to pick

something up before coming to Dallas.

The evidence she'd been gathering on Robinson. She must have hidden it

somewhere. And they can't risk killing her until they've gotten the evidence

back. Exactly.

We need to get that evidence.

Mark, is there anywhere other than here and her apartment that Julie hung out or

spent time?

She wasn't much on hanging out. She did do some volunteer work, though.

Volunteer work? Where?

Out at the nature center at the state park.

Okay, great.

Thank you.

Gage, we've looked everywhere.

It's loose.

Bingo.

Not bad, huh? You are so lucky.

Okay, guys. A big bison thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thanks so much, Cordell. Bye -bye, Abby.

Thank you so much for that snake thing. That was the most incredible thing I've

ever seen. I will remember that snake thing as long as I live. Boom, you got

him. God bless you. Thank you. Thanks, Stu.

Next time, let's go find someplace more private like New York.

Business records, tapes, photographs.

Mary, she was right. This is huge.

You're not kidding. There's not only enough evidence here to put away

but to put a major dent in organized crime all over the state.

Yeah, well, check it out.

According to this rock, he's got an old farm up north near the border.

It's where he takes everything that's too hot to handle for the club.

Okay, let's go.

Knock, knock.

Hello. Pet's had a bad time. I'll take all that.

Come on, give it to me.

That's right.

Well, looks like your sister was one very busy little beaver.

And she better be alive. Oh, yeah, she's alive.

For the moment.

Your moment's up.

Take them out.

All right, do it.

You've got some time, Intervet. Yeah.

When I dug up on Ronson, I figured you guys need some help. Thanks.

What did you find out about your sister?

We're not sure. We think we might have something, though. Ronson's got an old

farmhouse near the border.

That must be where they're keeping her.

Well, if he's on to you guys, he's got to be ready to cut his losses.

We need all the backup we can get.

Yeah, Intervet.

Hmm. Ranger Walker, this is Ranger Number One.

We've got a message from Ranger Chavette.

I don't believe it. No, no, I won't believe it.

Without her testimony to corroborate the evidence, we've got nothing.

True. Make it look like an OD.

Stump her body at the rest area by the border. You got it, boss.

Dexter, right...

Servette,

cover me! Gotta get to my sister!

Sweetie, are you okay?

Are you okay?

Look what they did to me.

Oh, sweetie, it's okay.

It's okay. It's over now.

It's okay, sweetie. It's okay.

Yeah. Hey, Walker.

Bronson got away in a Jeep. You locate him for us?

Got it.

Look for a jeep.

up on it.

You're not gonna do what I think you're gonna do!

Probably!

Listen, Julie's story got picked up by all the major wire services.

Fantastic. And listen, tell them the best part. I got offered jobs from the

York Times, the Washington Post, and the San Francisco Examiner. Oh, that's

great. Congratulations.

Which one are you going to take?

Oh, I have no idea.

New York. No, no, she's going to Washington, D .C.

You've got to go to San Francisco.

If you're going to write about crime and corruption, well, I guess you can't do

better than staying right here in Dallas.

Phoebe! What did I say?

What did I

say?

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

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