MAN: Here he comes.

Hey, man.

We thought maybe you wasn't going to show.

We got customers.

And I got what they want, so shut up.

Whoa, take it easy.

Good.

Let's do it.

[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

You're ready? Yeah.

How are we going to do it?

Like this.

[MAN YELLING]

Get out of here!

Texas Rangers! Drop it!

You heard the man!

[OPENING THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

Did you get anything out of these guys about their supplier?

No, it seems whoever it is, they're all scared of him.

Whoever it is, it's controlling half the drugs in this city.

Walker, we have got to find him.

Please keep hammering on all your sources.

We will.

I've got to get to my arraignment.

We still on for tonight?

You bet. Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Great.

Dealey hall, room 313.

Well, let's get to work.

[RATTLING]

Hello?

Somebody there?

[CLINKING]

[CLANGING]

All right class, this brings us to the end of our session

on arrest and indictment.

Any questions?

Alex.

If there's no probable cause for the arrest,

does that void the indictment?

ALEX: The only example I can think of is the case of Jones v. Reilly.

It's 1952... No, 1953.

This case illustrates that an officer's big...

[SHOUTING] Stay where you are!

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

Drop the knife.

Forget it.

Take another step and she's a goner.

Drop the gun.

I'll kill her, Ranger.

All right, okay.

Now what?

You're under arrest.

All right, guys, you can come out now.

[STUDENTS GASPING]

I'd like you to meet Ranger Walker and Ranger Trivette.

Wait a minute. You mean that was all an act?

We wanted to give you a taste of the real thing.

There was never any danger.

My gun was...

[CLICKING]

Unloaded.

Knife's rubber.

I'm sorry if this exercise was a little over the top,

but I asked the rangers to help out for a very good reason.

You wanted us to know you're a tough grader.

[ALL LAUGHING]

That too. Actually, I wanted you to get a sense

of how fast an arrest like this goes down.

Sometimes, like in this situation, it's hard for officers to keep track

of everything they're required to do.

So, can anybody give me some specifics

about what you observed in this arrest.

It'll never hold up in court.

That's right, Susan. Can you tell us why.

He didn't read him his rights.

That could be one of the issues.

It looked so real I didn't even notice.

My heart was pumping so fast.

When an officer's put into such a situation,

their heart's beating just as fast as yours is.

But they have to observe everything that's going on around them.

We have to do everything by the book,

otherwise Alex and her colleagues won't be able to do her job properly.

Okay.

For next week, I want a three-page paper

detailing the specifics of why this was a bad bust.

See you next Thursday.

That was a great class. Thank you.

Alex.

Peter, hi.

I saw the class breaking up,

so I thought I'd drop by. Great.

Oh, Walker, Trivette, I'd like you to meet Professor Peter Needham.

How are you doing? Nice meeting you, fellas.

Hi. Hi.

Peter's the dean of students here at the university.

Acting dean.

I've only been here a short while.

They're just of trying me out, actually.

Another thing we have in common. That's right.

We grew up 10 minutes from each other and never met.

Can you believe that?

We actually know lots of the same people.

Well, that's great.

Excuse me just one sec.

Alex, about our coffee date, I'm gonna have to give you a rain check on that.

Something's come up, and, uh...

ALEX: No problem.

We'll just reschedule.

Okay. Tomorrow night good?

Great. You're on.

Great. You look good, by the way.

Nice meeting you, fellas.

So...

He called us "fellas."

Professor, huh?

So, what does he teach?

Sociology, and he has two PHDs.

Very impressive.

We're just friends, Walker.

You and me, or him and you?

You guys fight like a bunch of old married folks.

We're not fighting. We're just discussing.

Yeah, we're just discussing.

By the way, I need to ask you a very important question.

Does the professor wear those patches on all of his jackets?

All right, now we're fighting.

See what I mean?

Shut up, Jimmy. Me?

Don't you walk away from me.

Bye. See you guys later.

Damn. I'm on the wrong floor.

[SCREAMING]

It's coming from the stairwell.

I'll get an ambulance.

[POLICE RADIO CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

Alex.

Peter. What happened? I saw the ambulance driver.

One of my student's got mugged.

They're taking her to the hospital right now.

God, no. I'm going over there.

No. I'm gonna drive you.

I thought you...

This is more important, forget it. Come on.

The assault happened about 9:32.

I went looking for him but I couldn't find him.

Any word?

They're still working on her.

How is she, Doctor?

Lucky. A lot of people wouldn't have survived a beating like that.

We'd like to talk to her.

Just a couple of minutes. She needs her rest.

Susan, I'm Ranger Walker.

Could you tell us what happened?

It's all right, Susan.

Alex?

Can you remember anything at all about the man who attacked you?

What he looked like?

Have you seen him on campus before?

No.

He was covered up like you were in the class.

What do you mean? He wore a ski mask like this?

Did you notice anything else?

The color of his clothes?

The sound of his voice?

Nothing.

I don't know.

It all happened so fast.

I turned and...

And he was on me,

and I was fighting

and...

I don't know.

I'm sorry. You'll have to leave now.

Okay.

I'll be back.

Let's go see if forensics has anything.

Okay.

INSTRUCTOR: Good. Now show me the jab to the face.

Ready. One.

CHILDREN: Ki-hai! Good. Two.

CHILDREN: Ki-hai! Three.

CHILDREN: Ki-hai! Four.

CHILDREN: Ki-hai!

Very good, this time reverse cross. Show me your speed.

Show me your power. Ready. One.

CHILDREN: Ki-hai! Good. Two.

CHILDREN: Ki-hai! One more time. Faster. Three.

CHILDREN: Ki-hai!

This time let's add a reverse punch. Ki-hai on my count.

Ready. Block.

CHILDREN: Ki-hai! Punch, ki-hai!

Good, turn back four. Remember, Ki-haion my count.

Ready. Block.

Punch. Ki-hai!

CHILDREN: Ki-hai!

Let me see those reverse punches. Ready. Block.

Punch. Ki-hai! CHILDREN: Ki-hai!

Good, keep those punches out. Let me see them.

Good. Ready.

[CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY] Hi, Laura.

Where's Tony, the kid you were gonna make room for in one of your classes?

He didn't show up.

What? It's probably for the best.

We're really overcrowded anyway.

I know where he is.

He'll be here by the end of class.

One second.

All right, start her up.

[ENGINE ROARS] Yeah!

All right!

Way to go, Ton, my man.

I got to book.

I want to talk to you now.

I don't want to talk to you, so why don't you just leave me alone?

Inside. Let's go.

Now.

All right.

You don't take this class and show up every day, you're gonna get expelled.

So?

So stop being a jerk and get a life.

Why don't you just give up on me, alright? Everyone else has.

Sorry, it's not in my nature.

It's a stupid idea, this karate crap.

It's supposed to build my character.

My mom's boyfriend was some kind of champ,

and he's a certified jerk.

Walker isn't a jerk, he's a nice guy and you're gonna like him.

Yeah, that's what my mom always says about her boyfriends.

Walker isn't my boyfriend.

Whoo. Gotcha.

I'm telling you, this ain't going to work.

Just get in there, will you?

[WALKER COMMANDING IN JAPANESE]

[ALL APPLAUDING]

Line up.

[COMMANDS IN JAPANESE]

Who are we?

CHILDREN: A team, sir.

What's "T" stand for?

CHILDREN: Truth, sir.

"E."

CHILDREN: Exceed, sir.

"A." CHILDREN: Attitude, sir.

"M."

CHILDREN: Motivation, sir.

Who are we?

CHILDREN: A team, sir.

[ALL EXCLAIMING]

Class dismissed.

CHILDREN: Thank you, sir.

Hey, Tony.

How you doing?

What are you doing in this class?

You could take anybody at the school.

It's not about being tough.

It's about feeling good about yourself.

WALKER: Hey, Manuel.

I heard you won the tournament in Houston last week.

Yes, sir. I did.

Congratulations. Sorry I missed it. Thank you, sir.

Was that Ranger Walker? Yeah.

So, you gonna be in the class?

I guess I have to.

Well, you better not be late again.

Tony Kingston?

Yes, sir.

Well, that's a good start, Tony.

Mr. White, come over here a second.

Mr. White, this is Tony Kingston, our new student.

Mr. White teaches the classes. How you doing, Tony?

Hi.

Make sure you show up tomorrow after school, at 3:00, okay?

Okay. All right.

I got something for you.

Take this home and try it on. It should fit you.

Thank you, sir.

You're welcome, and, uh...

Don't be late again.

It's going down.

Those two rangers will never know what hit them.

Let me tell you something.

You're dealing with Cordell Walker.

Don't underestimate him.

He's the best they've got.

If you're going to make a move on him,

get it right the first time.

Otherwise, he's going to sink his teeth into you and never let go.

I like a challenge, and I never lose.

Neither does Walker.

Now, what about Cahill?

My attorneys tell me she's really close to entering an indictment on me.

Yeah. Close but no cigar.

And you're gonna make sure it stays that way.

Long as I keep getting my end.

The rangers will be dead within 24 hours.

Hey, I got to say this. What?

I've been holding back too long.

You got to clean this truck, man. It's a mess.

Don't diss my truck.

I'm sorry.

Apology accepted.

That's not what I'm sorry about.

Then what are you sorry about?

I'm sorry about the thing with Alex and the professor.

I mean, that's a tough break.

Personally, if you ask me, you waited around too long.

If you want something, you gotta go after it.

You can't wait around for these women.

I don't intend to.

Now, great, that's the spirit!

I'll tell you what, she loves lilacs.

I know this, Walker. Because I was in her office one time

and there was a birthday or something, her folks send her a bunch of them.

She loves them.

What I'm going to do is try to find the guy who attacked the girl in the campus.

Then if I've got any time,

I'd like to try to catch the guy supplying drugs in the city.

How does that sound to you?

Sounds great, but it's not nearly as much fun...

What are you doing? Why are you driving so fast?

The accelerator's stuck.

Get your foot off it. I am.

Hit the brake, Walker.

What brakes?

Cut the ignition. I did.

Watch out!

Watch the tracks! Walker!

Somebody tampered with the truck.

Hold on. We're in for a hard ride.

[HORN HONKS]

TRIVETTE: Walker!

Watch out! The tree!

Walker!

Watch out!

Look out!

Watch the shack! Watch out for the shack!

I'm watching it.

You know what? What?

I think I'm going to wash this truck. [SIGHS]

C.D., have any milk for my coffee?

C.D.: You bet, Cordell.

I heard you and jimmy had a pretty rough ride.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

My truck took a beating, tough.

You know, this is the first time I've ever heard

of an individual trying to take out two rangers.

Whoever this drug kingpin is,

he's taking it personal.

You'd better be careful.

A guy with no conscience is just like a rattlesnake.

He'll shoot you just to watch you fall.

How's everything on the personal front?

Fine. Why?

Well, Jimmy was just telling me that, uh...

Well, just that there might be something between you and Alex, that's all.

Professor Peter Patches.

Or whatever the hell the guy's name is.

It looks like he's moved in on your territory.

C.D., what are you talking about?

Jimmy tells me that this guy may have a shot with Alex.

Alex can date anyone she wants to.

It doesn't matter to me.

Maybe.

Maybe thunder curdles milk.

Maybe they'll get married.

Maybe they'll be hip-deep in children,

And maybe, just maybe,

you and uncle Ray are gonna end up on the ranch

with a bunch of damn chickens.

[CLUCKING]

Hi.

What?

Nothing. Forget it.

I've been running down all the angles on the campus attack.

Forensics didn't find anything in the stairwell last night so we got nothing.

Did you try campus security?

Yeah. I put in a call to them.

C.D., The usual, huh?

I just spoke to Susan.

She's going home from the hospital tomorrow.

That's good.

That's good.

That's good.

Jimmy.

What?

Don't stand there like a treeful of owls.

Those people may want to be alone.

You want to talk about it? What?

It. It?

Alright, him. Who?

You know. No.

Walker. What?

Okay, forget it.

Okay.

C.D.: Just look at him.

He's just pained.

Look at his eyes.

He's built a shell up around himself, Jimmy.

I know.

We're going to have to help him.

Yep, he's just like some kind of old mossback turtle.

TRIVETTE: Yeah.

Don't say anything to him.

Just don't mention it.

We'll talk about it tomorrow, okay?

What'd she say? What'd she say?

I'll get you after school. Right.

While I'm in class, you talk to Benny.

Why?

See if he has any leads on the guys who tried to kill us.

That slime's been holding out on us for weeks.

It's probably a waste of time.

Then just use your charm.

You want me to push him.

Hard.

Yeah, yeah, 16 to one.

No, no, no. No more credit.

You heard me, Leo.

What is this?

Time to do your civic duty, Ben,

Tell her to take her lunch break. Tell her.

Go on. It's okay, Ida. Just go on.

Look, I already gave you guys too much.

I almost got my head blown off.

I'm done. You understand me? Sure, I understand.

Benny, that's a hell of a horse you got running in the fifth here.

You want to bust me? Go ahead. Go ahead, bust me.

I'm not giving up on my friends anymore.

You ain't got any friends, Benny.

Heard you guys had a little accident.

Glad to see you're okay.

I'm sure you are.

Who set us up?

How would I know?

Hey, now, guy, don't do that.

I need a name.

I told you I don't...

I need a name.

No!

Benny, we need a name. Got a name yet?

I could make a couple of calls.

You know where you can find me.

Yeah.

[HORNS HONKING]

Listen, you just do what I say. Don't think, just do, got that?

Okay. Okay.

But them rangers, they're coming down hard.

A guy just burned up $20,000 in good markers.

I don't care about your pocket change, Benny.

You turn me, and you're dead. Do you understand?

I understand.

Good. I'll take care of the rangers.

You keep your mouth shut.

Mom.

Mom.

Oh, damn it.

No, I fell. Really. I tripped. That's all.

Mom, you did not fall, all right?

That st...

You took your sweet time getting home.

I had to do something at school.

Shut up.

Get your rear back here on time from now on.

I got a delivery for you to make.

I can't, I have to go to work.

Tell them you're sick.

This has to be across town before 5:00.

It's an important order. You blow it, and it could cost me.

All right.

Now my name's inside.

Don't try to steal...

Hey, Walker.

I'll see you later.

What's up?

Check this out.

Been doing a little research,

trying to put together a better profile on our campus mugger.

These are police reports filed by the campus cops.

This one's last July.

This one's beginning of October.

According to these, two girls were raped in that same parking garage.

And it was the same, exact set of circumstances too.

Girl's alone coming from class,

same time of night, empty stairwell.

They ever catch the guy? [TELEPHONE RINGING]

Neither victim was able to give a good enough description

because both times the attacker wore a ski mask.

Now, this one left town right after, dropped out of sight.

This one was beaten, pushed down the stairway,

knocked out cold.

Just like Susan.

Mmm-hmm.

I wonder it he tried to rape her.

Let's go find out.

I was attacked, and he pushed me down the stairs.

I don't know anything else.

You don't know if he tried to rape you or not?

No.

I don't know. It all happened so fast.

He was on me, and...

I was fighting, and...

I turned and tried to run up the stairs.

And then he grabbed me from behind, and that's when I screamed.

Then he just started hitting me, and I fell.

So, it was possible.

Yeah...

I guess so.

If you ask me, you guys are barking up the wrong tree.

We're not asking you.

Then, what do you want?

Your cooperation.

Look, we believe there's a rapist here on campus.

We want you to beef up security in the underground garages.

No can do. I just ain't got the manpower.

Ranger Walker,

Ranger Trivette.

Hi, Professor.

I saw you fellas come in, anything I can help you with?

Ranger here thinks we got a serial rapist, he wants us to beef up security.

This have something to do with the attack on that girl, that Susan person?

That and the two rapes that have occurred here on campus in the last six months.

Well, Susan was not raped.

No, but we think there might have been an attempt.

We'd like for you to take security precautions here.

Well, then we will.

We'll have to.

We appreciate it.

Hey, don't let this guy Peter get to you.

Nobody's getting to me, Trivette.

Look, you don't have to hold things in around me.

We put our lives on the line for each other.

This is not an ordinary relationship we got going here.

You can say that again.

Ahhh!

Over there.

Let go of me!

You got to talk to me.

You okay? Yeah, I'm fine.

Back off!

Get down!

Don't hurt him, he's my ex-boyfriend.

Look, guys, I'm sorry, okay. I was going to talk to her,

but she freaked out.

You were doing more than talking.

It's not like that, please, let him go.

You sure that's what you want us to do?

Yes. Please let him go.

We'll let you go, but don't bother her again.

Yes, sir.

Thanks. Sorry I caused such a scene.

A friend of mine was raped last summer.

Ever since then, I've been really spooked.

Last summer?

Jody Edwards?

You know about that?

How well did you know her?

She was a quiet girl.

Kept to herself and studied most of the time.

She'd just been going out with this guy, and they broke up.

Can you give us his name?

She wouldn't tell me.

Rumor has it he was a new professor and there's all these rules about that now.

I guess he'd have gotten fired if anyone found out.

So, how can I help you?

I understand that one of the girls that was raped here on campus,

Ms. Jody Edwards,

was dating one of the new professors here.

Wait a second.

We have a very strict code of ethics here.

Dating professors, I'm sure it's happened,

but, uh, come on, it's highly unlikely.

We'd like to check it out just the same.

If you don't mind.

Well, I don't see you're going to get anyone to admit to anything.

We've got a very hairy situation here, guys.

I don't even see how you're gonna get someone to ask.

We'd like to try your faculty personnel file.

We think he started in the spring semester.

Gentlemen, those records are highly confidential.

We could get a warrant.

Sharon, could you come here for a second?

Do a favor for me. Uh, call administration.

I need records of all new professors

who started here last spring.

Make copies of them,

and give them to these gentlemen. Okay?

Okay.

Is that okay?

We appreciate it.

Thank you, Professor.

My pleasure, fellas.

Sharon. Yeah?

On second thought,

send those records directly to me. Okay?

I'll bring them over myself.

Okay.

Kick, jab, punch. Kick, jab, punch.

WHITE: Good, good. Faster this time.

Ready. Jab. Punch.

CHILDREN: Ki-hai! Very good.

Again. Jab. Punch.

Good. Very good.

Perfect.

That was good.

Class dismissed.

CHILDREN: Thank you, sir.

I'll work on it.

You're doing a good job, Tony. Keep it up, okay?

Thank you, sir.

Yes!

Oh, hi. Hi. How was class?

Great. Tony's doing a good job.

His teachers are talking about how dramatically his attitude's changed.

Is that right?

I knew if anyone could turn him around, it would be you.

All he had to do was want to.

So, how about I cook dinner for you Saturday night to thank you for your help?

I'd really like to, but I've got plans Saturday night.

Can I take a rain check?

Sure.

Who's that?

Tony's counselor.

Mmm-hmm.

Tony.

You were supposed to be somewhere about an hour ago.

Now let's go.

WALKER: Hey, Tony.

You okay?

Yeah, he's fine.

You Tony's father?

No. Me and Tony's mom are engaged.

To be honest, I'm finding it hard to be a father figure.

The kid here don't it any easier, either.

I give him a job, to deliver for my business, but he never shows up on time.

What business are you in?

I specialize in Oriental tapestries.

Kind of fell into it. Vietnam.

Got a card on you?

I just happen to be interested in that kind of thing.

Yeah.

Here you go.

See you in karate class tomorrow.

Yes, sir.

So that's where you've been after school?

Why didn't you tell your mom or me?

That's good for the kid, maybe teach him some discipline.

Never enough of that, you know.

What do you say, champ? Let's go.

What's his name?

Kurt Nypo.

Run a make on him. You got it.

Get in there.

You want to learn karate, huh?

I'll teach you karate.

See how good it works?

Okay, now listen up.

You keep your butt out of that class and away from that ranger.

You got that? Huh?

[HORNS HONKING]

MAN: Look out! Crazy!

[HORNS HONKING]

MAN: Stupid kid!

Jerk!

Aw, man.

That was a good class.

Good night.

Hey, maybe we should walk you all the way.

No. My car's right here under the light. All right.

Good night.

[CLANKING]

Ahhh!

[GRUNTING]

What happened?

I don't know.

I didn't do nothing.

I swear it.

It was the other guy.

He was moving up on her,

And I chased him away.

Then this crazy broad attacked me.

That crazy broad is the assistant district attorney.

I tell you, man,

give them women power, and look what happens.

They turn mean and spiteful on you.

You don't like women, do you, Stan?

I love them...

When they know their place.

How'd you feel about Susan Medford?

Never met her.

We found her scarf in your room and a ski mask.

So?

That supposed to mean something?

I find all kinds of things lying around.

Sometimes I keep them.

Oh, you're a collector.

No law against it, is there?

We'll have the warrant first thing in the morning.

Then you can go back in and clean the place out.

Good.

I guess we won't be needing that extra security on campus now, won't we?

Let's make sure we have the right guy first.

You know, Ranger, it seems pretty clear to me...

Nothing's clear, Professor,

until we complete the investigation.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Oh, man, why don't you just go after her

and tell her you think he's a jerk?

If you have to, throw in the "L" word.

You know? What are you wasting your time for?

Trivette, do you mind?

Trivette, I think it's a good idea.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

Yeah. Trivette.

WOMAN: [ON THE PHONE] It's Benny.

Benny.

BENNY: [ON SPEAKER] I got something for you.

There's a deal going down tonight. Midnight.

The marina on Weaver Lake.

Slip 93.

The guy you're looking for will be there.

Let's do it.

It doesn't look like much is going on.

No. I don't like it.

It's too quiet.

Call for backup.

All right.

Yeah, it's Trivette.

We're out here at slip 93.

Send some units out. It's looking kinda hokey.

MAN: Cut him off!
