WALKER: Do you have any idea where you're going, Trivette?

TRIVETTE: It's not that much farther, it's just a few more miles.

WALKER: You said that a half hour ago.

TRIVETTE: Trust me, we're almost there.

WALKER: Almost where, Trivette?

We're out in the middle of nowhere.

This can't be the right way.

TRIVETTE: That's what it says on the map.

We're lost, Trivette.

Look, don't you blame me.

These are the directions they gave.

Just trying to figure out why Judge Hollister

wants to meet us way out here in the middle of nowhere.

Well, nowhere would be somewhere if you hadn't gotten us lost.

I guess you could've done better.

Yeah, I think so.

Look, just because you're part Cherokee,

doesn't mean that you have a better sense of direction.

Being Cherokee has nothing to do with it.

I just have a better sense of direction than you do.

(LAUGHING) I don't think so.

Oh, okay.

Which way is west?

West?

Yes. West

is thataway.

That's south. I told you we were lost.

Somebody is playing a practical joke on us.

I just know that Judge Hollister is back in Dallas,

laughing his head off.

Well, maybe not.

That could be his place there.

Yes, I did not get us lost.

Must mean I'm part Cherokee.

Right. Maybe that much.

(LAUGHS)

Well, howdy, boys. Hello, Judge.

What brings you out here?

We got a message that you wanted to see us right away.

That must be some kind of mix up. I didn't call you.

I'm sure the message had your name on it, Judge.

Maybe somebody's playing a practical joke.

(SOFTLY) Ah.

Hey, you boys wanna go fishing?

Ah, thanks anyway, Judge, but we're on duty.

Well, you're gonna have to excuse me.

The bass are biting on Oakridge Lake,

and I'm gonna get my limit today.

Sorry about the inconvenience, gentlemen.

Have a good trip back.

What?

I wanna find out who sent that phony message.

We've been driving two hours.

Well, it wouldn't have been two hours if you hadn't gotten us lost.

I found the place.

Well, anyone can find anything if they drive long enough, Trivette.

All right.

If it makes you feel better, I'll ask Judge Hollister for directions.

Maybe he knows a shortcut.

Come on, Trivette, I know how to get back, let's go.

(SCREAMING)

Trivette!

(GASPING)

Easy, Trivette, I'll get you to a hospital.

Hey, Walker!

The judge was just the first one.

I wanted you to see it.

'Cause I'm saving you for the last.

Who's that?

(LAUGHS)

Max Kale.

(HELICOPTER ROTOR WHIRRING)

WOMAN: (OVER PA) Dr. Winstrom, Dr. Ernest Winstrom to ICU.

ALEX: How did Max Kale escape prison?

They thought he was a low-risk inmate,

so they put him in a minimum security facility.

Then he kills a guard and five inmates.

What genius would let a psychopath like Max Kale

out of maximum security?

A psychiatrist.

Ranger Walker?

Your partner took some shrapnel type wounds.

He's okay, but he'll be real sore for a while.

TRIVETTE: Ow!

Man, you take it easy.

Oh. Hi.

Jimmy, how you feeling?

Oh, man, I got the holy Anvil Chorus ringing in my head.

37 stitches on my butt and back.

I feel great.

You're lucky.

A little closer to that bomb blast,

and you'd be singing with the angels.

I'd like to sing to Max Kale.

Damn, this...

This thing hurts!

The local anesthesia is wearing off.

You better lie still.

Take Ranger Trivette to his room.

Okay. Take it easy.

Ranger Walker, there's an urgent phone call for you.

Walker.

This is Dr. Jane Pine.

I don't know if you remember me.

I testified at Max Kale's trial.

Yeah, I remember you, Doctor.

Kale called my radio show.

He's on the line right now.

I recognized his voice and contacted your office.

They've started a trace.

Well, keep him on the line as long as you can.

I've gone to a commercial but I can't stall forever.

Uh, commercial's over.

I'll do my best.

You have a radio?

Uh, yes, right over here.

Alex.

This is Dr. Jane Pine on KRDW,

and we have a caller on the line.

MAX: A caller?

Ah, come on, Doc.

You know who I am.

Max Kale.

Max.

I'm glad you called.

You sound like you have a lot on your mind.

MAX: My mind?

Funny you should mention that.

You're the one that said that I was crazy.

It was nothing personal, Max.

I just gave the court my professional opinion.

MAX: Because of you, they stuck me in an asylum for the criminally insane.

Give me another chance.

Maybe there's some way that I could help you.

MAX: Yeah, answer me this.

If I'm so crazy, how come I had the smarts to break out, huh?

JANE: I always considered you highly intelligent, Max.

That's why I want to talk to you.

You already have talked to me, Doc.

Every day on the radio.

And I learned.

Oh, you taught me all the right buzzwords.

Self-responsibility,

getting in touch with my inner feelings.

(CHUCKLES) Those fools, they lapped it up,

and they thought they cured me.

They were just trying to help you, Max,

just reaching out to you.

They're fools.

"And a fool's mouth is his destruction."

Proverbs 18, verse 7.

You've been reading the Bible.

MAX: Memorized it.

JANE: Then you know what it says about love and forgiveness.

MAX: And I what it says about retribution against the unjust.

"Judge not that ye be not judged."

Matthew 7, verse 1.

Now, I sit in judgment of you.

Please, Max, we have to talk.

Oh, we will, Doc.

We will.

JANE: We'll be taking a short station break.

He is so frightening.

He said I was going to be last.

Which means there's others on his hitlist.

Which could include you.

So I'm putting you under 24-hour protection.

Walker, I mean, I've got... Don't even argue, Alex.

Judge Hollister sentenced him, and now he's dead.

And you're the one that prosecuted him.

Well, what about Dr. Pine, and Kale's ex-wife?

They're the ones who testified against him.

I'm putting them under protection, too.

I'm gonna go talk to Dr. Pine.

I read Kale's psychological review.

It makes him out to be a model inmate.

Who made the evaluation?

The staff at the psychiatric facility where Kale was locked up.

They made a big mistake.

Yeah, well, that mistake got a judge killed.

They didn't know that Kale is one of the best.

Best at what? Lying.

Every psychological test Kale was given

showed that he was making dramatic progress.

It's hard to believe that he faked all of that.

It's even harder to believe that he found the makings for a bomb in an asylum.

Yeah, he was a master at that.

I feel sorry for Kale's doctors.

They were taken in by him.

Could've happened to me.

Yeah, but it didn't.

Why not?

Sometimes it just comes down to a gut feeling.

That's partly what the asylum staff went by.

Unfortunately, in this case, they were wrong.

Yeah.

We'll make sure you have around-the-clock protection, Ms. Cahill.

Thanks, that makes me breathe a lot easier.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Got a good ride.

MAN 1: Oh, yeah.

MAN 2: Ooh.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Where's Angela?

Angela ain't receiving today.

"Angela ain't receiving today"?

You heard me.

You're gonna receive a lot more than you bargained for, bud,

if you don't get out of my way.

Oh, yeah?

(GROANING)

(SCREAMING)

(GRUNTING)

You still have all the moves, Walker.

Hi, Angela. It's been a long time.

Is that Lori?

Yeah, she's done a lot of growing up in three years, hasn't she?

Yeah, she sure has.

We gotta talk.

Come on in.

Go out and play, sweetie.

You guys know the drill.

MAN 3: All right, fine.

MAN 4: Yeah, get up, man.

MAN 5: Give me a hand up, will you? MAN 4: Yeah, get up.

ANGELA: Beer?

No, thanks.

Well, I guess this isn't a social call.

I wanna know why you refused protective custody.

I've got those junkyard dogs out front to protect me.

That is, if you don't bust 'em for assault.

I'm not gonna bust 'em.

But they don't impress me very much.

Not many men do.

Angela,

Max killed the judge who prosecuted him.

You turned him in, he's gonna come after you, too, Angela.

It seems I spent most of my married life in fear of Max.

Used to beat me black and blue.

The day I testified against him

is the day I vowed never to hide from Max again.

What about Lore?

Max won't hurt Lori.

There's nothing I can say to change your mind?

Okay.

Walker.

You did me a big favor when you arrested Max.

Probably wouldn't be alive today if you hadn't.

You just be careful.

Yeah.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

All right, I'm not gonna bust you guys,

but you better protect her.

Now, get out of the truck.

Let's go, move. Get out.

Put up the tailgate.

LORI: Walker.

Why do you wanna kill my dad?

Who said I wanna kill your dad, Lori?

He wrote me a letter and told me.

I don't want your father dead.

But he wants to hurt some innocent people, Lori.

Including your mother.

He'd never hurt my mom, never.

He loves her, you're lying.

(CELLPHONE RINGING)

Walker. What are you doing at Angela's?

She's not next, Alex is.

You touch Alex, I'll tear your heart out, Kale.

Better hurry, she's home.

Waiting for you.

(BEEPING)

(STRAINING)

(WHIMPERING)

The bomb is rigged to go off two minutes after the door is opened.

And it'll go off if you touch it.

(BEEPING)

(BEEPING)

You got to get out of here.

Be right back.

Walker.

(TOOLS CLATTERING)

(BEEPING)

Walker, it's 30 seconds, you've got to get out of here.

There's three wires, Alex.

If I cut the wrong one...

(BEEPING)

(BEEPING CONTINUES)

(GASPS)

(SOBS)

I'm sorry, I was just so scared.

I know, I know.

MALE REPORTER: Now, Max Kale's back,

apparently seeking revenge on the people

who helped bring him to justice.

The question is, who will become his next victim

before authorities stop him once and for all?

WALKER: How you feeling? (GROANS)

I hardly slept at all last night.

I kept seeing Kale looking at me.

Eyes of a mad man.

Well, this time we're gonna hide you where no one can find you.

I'm worried about you, too.

I mean, something about Kale tell me he's not afraid of dying.

Cordell, I want you to see this.

This fellow's got a record as long as a snake's neck.

You know what he did when he was 12 years old?

He tried to blow up one of the neighbor's homes.

What set him off?

Well, the neighbor complained that he was riding his bicycle

through the flower beds, tearing 'em up.

Every neighbor out there at one time or another has complained about him.

Should've thrown that sucker in jail right then and there and saved a lot of lives.

WALKER: What are you doing here?

You're supposed to be in the hospital.

I heard about you, you all right?

I'm fine. Thank you.

C.D.: Jimmy, I know you're hurting.

Bless your heart. Just take it easy.

Couldn't lie in bed

while watching soaps and game shows

when somebody's trying to kill my friends.

(GROANS)

(TELEPHONE RINGS)

Uh, that's me.

Walker. You surprise me, Walker.

Didn't know you can disarm a bomb.

(WHISPERING) Kale.

I'm the one that brought you in, Kale.

Why don't you come after me?

"Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

"I will fear no evil."

Psalms 23, recognize it?

Take me on, Kale, unless you're afraid.

MAX: Ah, spoken like a true Texas Ranger.

Your time will come, Walker.

Your time will come.

(LAUGHS) (CRADLES PHONE)

You got it?

Park Street, McNelley Avenue.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

(TELEPHONE CONTINUES RINGING)

MAX: Hello, Walker, wanna go for a little ride?

Look to your left.

(ENGINE REVS)

(ENGINE STARTS)

(CELLPHONE RINGS)

Walker. Here's the drill.

In five minutes, a bomb goes off.

Dead bodies everywhere.

Yeah, you can save them

if you got the guts to follow me.

Where's the bomb, Kale?

Real close, partner.

Real close.

(LAUGHS)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

(CLICKING)

This is Dr. Jane Pine on KRDW,

and we have a caller on the line.

MAX: Hi, Doc, your pal Max.

And you know what day it is?

Judgment day, that's right.

Doc, today is the day you pay for your sins,

and I promise you, it's gonna be up close,

(LAUGHS) and personal.

(LAUGHING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(HORN HONKS)

(BRAKES SCREECH)

(CELLPHONE RINGS)

Yeah. MAX: That was just a small blast.

Get ready for the big one. (LAUGHS)

Get away from that building, there's a bomb!

Go! Get away!

(ALL CLAMORING)

(CELLPHONE RINGS)

Walker. TRIVETTE: Walker, I got your message

about Dr. Pine and that policewoman who was guarding her.

My God, another two people killed.

When's this maniac gonna stop?

WALKER: Not until he feels he's had his revenge.

He'll go after Angela next.

I've got to stop him.

Lori, where's your mother? She isn't here. She went shopping.

Where did she go?

She left for Butler Junction about ten minutes ago,

won't be back for a couple of hours.

What car is she going in?

Dean Watkins' white pickup. Why?

You watch her.

Mmm-hmm.

(ENGINE STARTS)

(INAUDIBLE)

(LAUGHS)

(INAUDIBLE)

(ANGELA SCREAMS)

Get out!

It's a bomb.

Hey, man.

He could've killed us.

(BEEPING)

Get down! Get down now!

Get down! Get down!

(LAUGHS)

Bye.

Amen.

(LAUGHS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Walker, you're never gonna catch Max.

He won't quit until he kills everyone he hates.

You, me and God knows who else.

Angela, Max thinks you're dead.

I'm gonna put you in a safe house until we catch him.

What about Lori?

I'll have her picked up and brought to you.

Okay. Okay.

Walker.

I haven't prayed in years,

but I'll say one for you.

Be careful.

(CELLPHONE RINGS)

Walker. Yo.

All right, forensics just finished tracking that dynamite

Kale used in the bomb at Alex's house.

It was sold to a demolition firm in Dallas,

which recently reported several cases stolen.

It's an inside job, man.

What makes you think so?

TRIVETTE: We ran a check on the demo firm's employees.

It seems one of them left some key information off his job application.

Like he served hard time with Max Kale.

Name's Gene Ardell and he works for Clarkson Construction.

Okay, thanks, Trivette.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Gene Ardell, where is he?

Over there.

Gene Ardell.

Well, well.

The law.

110 pounds of dynamite disappeared from this site.

Know anything about it?

No.

But I got a feeling you're going to pin it on me.

Well, you're feeling's right.

(GRUNTING)

(GROANING)

Where's Max Kale?

Go to hell.

You're a two-time loser, Ardell.

The dynamite you gave Kale killed a federal judge.

Now, you're going down with him unless you tell me where he is.

What part of the building is he in?

Second floor, northeast corner.

Go on in.

I know Max will be glad to see you.

Yeah?

If he's in there, you're dead.

Max ain't afraid of dying, he'll take you with him.

Go on.

Arrest him.

Careful.

(BEEPING)

(LAUGHS)

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

MAX: Walker, is that you?

Come on, Walker.

Talk to me.

Oh, well.

If you're not gonna talk to me, might as well say goodbye.

Jeez, I thought you bought it, man.

Where's the book?

What book?

I found this book up there.

It's in some kind of code.

Think you can decipher it?

Hi, sugar.

Dad?

That's right, honey.

It's me.

Come here. Come on, come on.

(LAUGHING)

Oh... I can't believe it's you.

I missed you so much.

I know, I know, I know.

And you know what?

We're gonna go on a little trip.

Where are we going?

To a land of milk and honey.

And everyone there treats you like

royalty.

Sounds like heaven to me.

It is, honey.

That's where we're going.

Can Mom come along?

No.

You see, Mom's been bad.

What do you mean? Mom hasn't been bad.

I'm afraid she has.

We aren't gonna see her anymore.

Why? Where is she?

Honey,

your mom is dead.

(GASPS) What?

Well, she turned against me and she, she lied,

and you know what the Bible said about that.

"Thou shalt not bear false witness."

It was my duty, I had to punish her.

You killed my mom, I hate you.

No, shut up, shut up.

Let of my hands, let go.

You turned against me, too.

Quit your crying. Come on.

You're coming with me.

I got you. I got you.

Cracked the code, you guys.

All right, he used this notebook as a diary.

See, these are all the people he wanted to kill.

Judge Hollister, Alex Cahill,

Dr. Jane Pine, Angela Kale.

Then it gets weird.

Why did he write the names out like that?

And who's Rodney?

I don't know.

Do you have a first name or initials?

No, nothing. You remember anything?

Doesn't ring a bell with me.

(KEYBOARD CLACKING)

Who's Rodney Lane?

Well, that's the street the guy was raised on.

Sergeant Walker, went to pick up Lori Kale,

found a man dead, she's disappeared.

Trivette, pick up Angela, let's go.

Get everyone out.

There's a bomb in the neighborhood, come on out.

We're evacuating the neighborhood. Move quickly, please.

Anybody here?

Get out of the house. There's a bomb, hurry!

Come on.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Guys, move out, there's a bomb.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(KNOCKING)

Texas Rangers, there's a bomb, everyone out.

Let's go.

It's an emergency, run to the end of the block, go.

(LAUGHS)

LORI: What's going on?

What are you looking at?

(MAX CONTINUES LAUGHING)

"I will punish the world for their evil."

(ALL CLAMORING)

"And the wicked for their iniquity."

Open up! (KNOCKING)

Block's gonna blow. Get out of here.

Come on.

MAN: Let's go, come on, come on.

"I will cause the arrogance of the proud

"to cease."

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

"And I will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible."

(SOBBING)

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

(SOBBING) Okay.

Don't worry, Lori, I'll get you out of here.

Come on, honey, let's go.

Please don't hurt me.

You did exactly what I wanted you to do, Walker.

I'm the one you're after, Kale.

Let your daughter go.

She sinned.

She has to pay.

She's just a little girl. There's no reason to hurt her.

No, Walker.

We're all gonna die together.

(SOFTLY) No.

(GROANING)

Run, Lori.

(GRUNTING)

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING)

(PANTING) Walker.

Everyone all right? Yeah.

That's just too damn close, Cordell.

Thank God you're safe.

Ranger Walker.

Are you all right?

He killed my mom.

Turn around, honey.

Mom!

Oh, Lori, honey.

Thank God you're all right.

Where's Kale?

He blew himself up.

That's poetic justice.

Yeah, let me...

Oh, God.
