Trivette: ALL RIGHT, DON'T TELL ME.

I KNOW WHAT THE CARD IS.

3 OF HEARTS.

QUEEN OF SPADES. OHH!

IT'S A 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 'EM.

YOU CANNOT! YES, I CAN.

SHUFFLE THE DECK, AND I'LL SHOW YOU.

QUEEN OF HEARTS.

9 OF CLUBS.

JACK OF CLUBS.

10 OF DIAMONDS.

JACK OF HEARTS.

HOW'D YOU DO THAT?

TRIVETTE! YOU KNOW THE MAGICIAN'S CODE.

IF I TELL YA, I GOTTA KILL YA.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

WALKER.

OK, GAGE, WE'LL MEET YOU THERE.

THAT WAS GAGE.

IT'S GOING DOWN SOONER THAN EXPECTED.

THEY'RE MEETING EL LEÓN THIS AFTERNOON.

HOW'S THE NEW RANGER DOING?

LET'S GO FIND OUT.

[SPANISH ACCENT] YOU'RE EL LEÓN.

INDEED I AM.

RAMON HERE HAS TOLD ME A LOT ABOUT YOU TWO.

SAYS YOU'VE BEEN OUR BEST CUSTOMERS

AND NOW YOU'RE LOOKING TO TAKE A STEP UP.

THAT'S RIGHT.

IF YOU CAN HANDLE IT.

OH, BELIEVE ME,

I CAN HANDLE IT.

BUT BEFORE I MEET WITH ANYONE,

I LIKE TO KNOW WHO I'M DEALING WITH.

AND, UH, AS A MATTER OF FACT,

I CHECKED YOU BOTH OUT PERSONALLY.

AND, 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

IS 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 EL LEÓN 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?

LOUSY COPS.

[NO ACCENT] ACTUALLY, WE'RE NOT COPS.

WE'RE TEXAS RANGERS.

GET HIM OUTTA HERE.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.

HEY, WALKER, TRIVETTE.

NICE TO KNOW YOUR TIMING IS STILL EXCELLENT.

Trivette: GAGE, RANGER COOKE.

NICE WORK, YOU TWO.

THANK YOU. Trivette: YEAH.

RANGERS HAVE BEEN AFTER EL LEÓN FOR YEARS.

YOU TWO WERE THE FIRST TO GET THIS DEEP INSIDE THE ORGANIZATION.

WELL, IT TOOK US 9 MONTHS, BUT IT DID PAY OFF.

I HAVE TO GIVE MOST OF THE CREDIT HERE TO SYDNEY, THOUGH.

I GOT US IN THE DOOR, BUT SHE REALLY KEPT US IN THE GAME.

THAT WAS QUICK THINKING BACK THERE WHEN THEY HAD THE DROP ON US.

YEAH? YOU 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, RANGER WALKER.

LET'S GO.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS.

THANK YOU.

[CHUCKLING]

STUPID, HUH?! I HAD TO SAY SOMETHING.

YEAH. IT COULD'VE BEEN SOMETHING ELSE.

OW!

READ 'EM AND WEEP, GENTLEMEN.

3 LOVELY LADIES.

OOH, THAT'S LOOKING GOOD.

MM. WELL, THAT SURE WILL BEAT THESE 3 DUCKS.

BUT IT WON'T BEAT THIS PAIR OF 6s WITH 'EM.

A PAIR OF 6s?

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 GONNA BE LYIN' AND BLUFFIN' ANYBODY.

Joe: OH...

I'LL STAY WITH IT.

TELL YOU WHAT, I'LL, UH...

I'LL SEE THAT NICKEL, AND I'LL, UH...

I'LL BUMP YOU A QUARTER.

Joe: YOU'RE BLUFFING.

C.D.: MAYBE I AM, MAYBE I'M NOT.

COST YOU A QUARTER TO SEE.

AH-CHOO!

[ALL COUGHING] EXCUSE ME.

WELL, LOOKIE HERE.

I MISREAD THE HAND.

Man: HELP! AAH!

[BODY PUNCHES LANDING]

HELP!

HEY! HYAH!

UH, HEY, WALKER.

IN CASE THERE'S ANY TROUBLE, WHO DO YOU WANNA TAKE?

I'LL TAKE THE CONCHO BROTHERS.

YEAH, RIGHT.

SO THAT MEANS I GET BIG LOU.

WELL, YOU KNOW THE SAYING, TRIVETTE--

THE BIGGER THEY ARE... THE HARDER THEY FALL.

I WAS GONNA SAY THE HARDER THEY HIT,

BUT THAT SOUNDS GOOD, TOO.

HELP!

HEY, COME ON, YOU WIN.

Trivette: HEY, BIG LOU!

THAT ANY WAY TO TREAT YOUR PAROLE OFFICER?

Sam Concho: WHEN WE GET THROUGH WITH YOU,

YOU'RE GONNA THINK HE GOT OFF EASY.

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING.

[GASPING FOR BREATH]

OK, WE WERE BOTH RIGHT.

HE HITS HARDER, AND HE FALLS HARDER.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

YEAH, RANGER TRIVETTE.

ALL RIGHT, ALEX. WE'RE ON OUR WAY.

ALEX SAYS SHE NEEDS US AT THE RANGER OFFICE ASAP.

Alex: WALKER, TRIVETTE,

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 HANDLE THIS.

HANDLE WHAT?

THIS 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, THEIR 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 TRIVETTE.

THIS ALSO CAME ALONG WITH THE VIDEOTAPE.

THAT'S ANTHRAX? Mason: MM-HMM.

ENOUGH TO KILL EVERYONE IN THIS BUILDING.

[PAGER BEEPS]

I'M SORRY. I HAVE TO GET BACK TO AUSTIN.

UH, ALEX, YOU WILL KEEP ME INFORMED?

ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU.

WALKER, THE GUY ON THE VIDEO SAYS A GROUP OF MEN HAVE ALREADY BEEN INFECTED.

HOW ARE WE GONNA GET TO THEM IN TIME?

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO CALL EVERY HOSPITAL AND DOCTOR IN THE METROPLEX

AND PUT THEM ON ALERT FOR ANYONE THAT COMES IN WITH A COLD OR THE FLU.

I'LL GET THE STAFF TO START MAKING THE CALLS.

I'LL CONTACT THE NEWS MEDIA.

HEY, THIS IS RANGER TRIVETTE.

YEAH, I NEED YOUR STAFF TO START CONTACTING...

WHY DID HE WARN US?

CORDELL! JIMMY!

I GOT Y'ALL SOME VITTLES.

AH-CHOO! OH!

HEY, BIG DOG, THAT'S GROSS.

BY GOLLY, I, AHEM, GOT A HEAD COLD.

JUST COME ON THIS MORNING.

A COLD?

YEAH, IT JUST COME ON THIS MORNING.

I WAS FIT AS A FIDDLE YESTERDAY. HERE, TAKE THESE.

LET'S GET HIM TO THE HOSPITAL.

PUT THAT BACK. COME ON. COME ON.

WHAT--?

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT?

ARE YOU CRAZY? COME ON.

IT'S NOTHING TO GO TO A HOSPITAL FOR.

Doctor: 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.

C.D.: 5 MINUTES! 5 MINUTES,

THAT'S ALL I NEED WITH THOSE SONS OF Bs!

I'LL TEACH 'EM A LESSON OR TWO.

DOC, HOW AM I DOIN'?

YOU'RE DOIN' GOOD, C.D.

JUST BREATHE EASY. OK.

I'LL BE BACK. MUCH OBLIGED.

HEY, BIG DOG,

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 V.F.W. PLAYING POKER.

C.D., WE NEED A LIST OF EVERYONE THAT WAS THERE YESTERDAY.

ALL OF 'EM? EVERYONE.

I CAN DO THAT.

OK. GOOD.

[COUGHING]

FORTUNATELY YOU FOUND THEM ALL IN TIME.

ANOTHER 24 HOURS, IT'D HAVE BEEN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY.

WALKER, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

I DON'T KNOW...

BUT I GET THE FEELING WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT.

[ARMING CLICK]

WELL, THEY HAVE 48 HOURS TILL THIS BABY BLOWS.

YEAH, WE APPRECIATE IT.

THE 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 RESOLVE.

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

AT THE INTERNATIONAL BANK OF THE CAYMANS.

AND SECOND-- WE ARE DEMANDING THE IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OF 5 OF OUR COMRADES IN ARMS--

FREEDOM FIGHTERS

WHO HAVE BEEN UNFAIRLY AND UNJUSTLY INCARCERATED.

THEY ARE:

RUFUS HARRELSON...

LORENZO SILVA...

ARTHUR WOODSON...

PETER CLEMENS...

DEXTER LAWTON.

THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER CONTACT.

THE TIMER IS SET, THE OPERATION IS A 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.

NOW 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.

MISS CAHILL HERE WILL BE THE LIAISON

BETWEEN THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE AND YOUR TASK 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.

[TIRES SCREECH] Driver: HEY!

GET OUTTA THE ROAD!

GET OUT. HEY, WAIT! STOP!

HEY! TEXAS RANGER. I NEED YOUR BIKE.

SURE, RANGER.

YOU'RE GOOD. LITTLE MORE.

[DIESEL HORN BLARES]

MAN, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE LOOK ON GAGE'S FACE.

[LAUGHTER]

BOY, IT WAS GREAT.

RICKY...

WHEW--RICKY, RICKY.

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS DIFFICULT?

YOU KNOW I GOTTA TAKE YOU IN.

WELL, 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 GONNA NEED A NEW PARTNER.

HOW ABOUT PHIL JEFFERSON OVER IN AMARILLO?

WELL, DON'T GET ME WRONG, WALKER. PHIL'S A GOOD RANGER.

BUT IF YOU'RE GIVING ME THE CHOICE,

I'D REALLY LIKE MY LAST PARTNER, SYDNEY.

SYDNEY COOKE?

SHE'S A PRETTY NEW RANGER.

I KNOW. SHE'S STILL A LITTLE GREEN, BUT...

I'VE NEVER WORKED WITH ANYONE WHO HAD BETTER INSTINCTS.

OK, IT'S YOUR CALL.

THANKS. THANKS, WALKER.

Man on video: MEET OUR DEMANDS,

OR ONE MILLION PEOPLE WILL DIE.

HAVE A NICE DAY.

HERE IT IS.

HERE'S EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE ON THE 5 MEN

IDENTIFIED IN THE RANSOM DEMAND.

OK, 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.

TRIVETTE. I'M GOING TO BRING DAN JOHNSON IN ON THIS.

Dan: 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'VE PLANTED THE ANTHRAX

IN A PLACE WHERE IT WOULD DO THE MOST DAMAGE.

WELL, YOU WANT ME TO RUN SIMULATIONS ON PROBABLE LOCATIONS?

THERE'S A LOT OF VARIABLES.

I'LL HAVE TO FACTOR IN WIND, WEATHER, TRAFFIC,

THE--THE CONFIGURATION OF THE DOWNTOWN BUILDINGS.

BUT CAN YOU DO IT?

YEAH, OH, YEAH. BUT IT'LL TAKE SOME TIME.

WE'VE GOT 42 HOURS.

[EXHALES]

LET'S CHECK THE VENTILATION SYSTEM.

THAT'D BE THEIR MOST LIKELY PLACE TO SPREAD THE ANTHRAX.

Walker: THAT'S HOW THEY DID IT.

I'LL CALL THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL.

OK.

HEY, THIS IS RANGER TRIVETTE.

[CELL PHONE BEEPS]

WANT TO WAIT FOR CDC?

YEAH, WE'D BETTER.

WHAT'S THE NEXT MOVE?

LOOK UP THERE.

Trivette: 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.

Dan: 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?

YOU 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.

RUN IT BACK TO WHEN THEY FIRST GOT OUT OF THE VAN.

[BEEPING]

[TAPE WHIRRING]

RUN IT BACK AGAIN.

[BEEPING AND WHIRRING]

Walker: HOLD IT.

DO YOU NOTICE THE REFLECTION IN THE WINDOW?

WHOA, CHECK IT OUT.

CAN YOU DO ANYTHING WITH THAT?

AH, LET'S SEE.

LET ME ENHANCE THE IMAGE.

GOTCHA!

Trivette: GOT A FACE.

NOW ALL WE NEED IS A NAME.

DAN, ISN'T THE FBI WORKING ON FACE RECOGNITION SOFTWARE?

YEAH, THE TECHNOLOGY IS STILL PRETTY PRIMITIVE,

BUT, UH, LET ME CHECK IT OUT.

OK. WE'LL SEE YOU LATER.

Dan: YEAH.

Sydney: RUFUS HARRISON...

CURRENTLY SERVING 5 TO 7 IN HUNTSVILLE...

FOR 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 YANKIN' OUR CHAINS,

I CAN'T WAIT TO START YANKIN' BACK.

Dan: HIS NAME IS TALBOT.

JASON TALBOT.

UP UNTIL 3 YEARS AGO,

HE WAS A STATE DEPARTMENT SPECIALIST

ATTACHED TO THE U.S. EMBASSY IN MOSCOW.

SPECIALIST, HUH? MMM, YEAH.

HIS FILE WAS "EYES ONLY."

WHAT HAPPENED 3 YEARS AGO?

WELL, IT SEEMS YOUR BOY HAD A BIG GAMBLING PROBLEM.

GAMBLING? WHAT KIND? POKER?

PONIES? UH...CHESS.

Trivette: WHAT MAKES YOU THINK HE'S HERE?

WELL, IF HE'S STILL GAMBLING,

THIS IS WHERE ALL THE PLAYERS GO.

DO YOU THINK THAT COULD BE HIM?

LET'S GO SEE.

CHECK.

JASON TALBOT?

YEAH, WHO WANTS TO KNOW?

TEXAS RANGERS. WANT TO STAND UP?

HYAH!

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 TALBOT.

TALBOT WON'T SAY A THING.

WONDER IF GAGE AND SYDNEY FOUND OUT ANYTHING

ABOUT THOSE CONS THEY WANTED RELEASED.

HOW'D IT GO? IT DIDN'T.

WE HIT 4 OUT OF 5 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.

[MOANING]

TRIVETTE! TRIVETTE!

CALL A DOCTOR!

YEAH, THIS IS TRIVETTE.

I GOT AN EMERGENCY IN THE INTERROGATION ROOM.

I NEED A DOCTOR.

[TALBOT GASPS]

[♪]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

Walker: WHAT DID YOU FIND, MARY?

I'LL NEED TO RUN A TOX SCREEN TO BE SURE,

BUT MY INITIAL GUESS WOULD BE CYANIDE POISONING.

OK, 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.

AH, JUST ONE QUESTION.

WHEN DID DALLAS END UP BEHIND ENEMY LINES?

HEY, CHECK THIS OUT, GUYS.

Walker: WHAT HAVE YOU GOT, DAN?

CHECK OUT TALBOT'S SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER.

AND THIS IS WOODSON'S.

DAN, THIS IS GAGE AND SYDNEY.

NICE TO MEET YOU. Dan: SYDNEY, HELLO.

THESE NUMBERS ARE SEQUENTIAL.

YEAH.

WELL, THIS CONFIRMS IT.

THE CIA ISSUED THEM NEW IDENTITIES.

WOODSON WAS CIA, TOO?

Dan: AH, YEAH.

HIS FILE WAS ALSO "EYES ONLY."

IT'S AMAZING WHAT YOU CAN DO WHEN YOU'RE DETERMINED.

WOODSON WAS BOUNCED FROM THE AGENCY 3 YEARS AGO

AS A RESULT OF A SCANDAL INVOLVING GUN SMUGGLING AND THE RUSSIAN MAFIA.

RUSSIA? Dan: YEAH.

UH, TALBOT, BY THE WAY, WAS ATTACHED TO THE EMBASSY IN MOSCOW.

HMM, YOU'RE GOOD, DAN.

UH, DAN...

CHECK THE OTHER SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS THAT ARE SEQUENTIAL TO THESE.

SEE WHAT WE COME UP WITH.

YOU GOT IT.

DAN, WHAT ABOUT THE SIMULATIONS ON THE BOMB LOCATION?

I'M STILL WORKIN' ON IT.

[BEEPING]

24 HOURS TILL THE ANTHRAX BLOWS,

AND WE AIN'T HEARD NOTHIN'.

YOU THINK THEY'RE GONNA GO FOR IT?

YES, I DO.

BUT MAYBE IT IS TIME TO GIVE THEM A LITTLE PUSH.

Dan: YOU GUYS ARE GONNA 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 4 PRISONERS WAS JUST A PLOY TO THROW US OFF TRACK.

Dan: YEP.

THIS ROGER WOODSON IS A PIECE OF WORK, MAN.

WALKER, I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU EVERYWHERE.

YOU'VE GOT TO SEE THIS.

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--

[CLICK]

WALKER, RICHARD HAS SOMETHING TO TELL YOU.

I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THE GOVERNOR,

AND HE HAS DECIDED TO MEET THEIR DEMANDS.

HE CAN'T DO THAT! Richard: WE HAVE NO CHOICE.

I'M SORRY, BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT A TOTAL BIOLOGICAL DISASTER HERE.

YOU REALIZE THAT THEY COULD STILL SET OFF THAT EXPLOSIVE DEVICE,

EVEN IF YOU DO MEET THEIR DEMANDS.

IT'S A PERFECT WAY FOR THEM TO ESCAPE.

I PRAY TO GOD THAT YOU'RE WRONG, WALKER.

MAYBE THERE'S ANOTHER WAY.

Dan: 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.

DAN, WHAT'S YOUR BEST GUESS ON THIS?

[DAN EXHALES] WALKER, IF WAS HIM...

I'D HAVE TO PUT IT IN ONE OF THESE 2 PLACES.

OK, TRIVETTE AND I'LL TAKE THOSE 2.

ALL RIGHT, THE UNIT FROM THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL

AND THE BOMB SQUAD ARE ON ALERT.

WE'VE GOT 2 HOURS. LET'S FIND THIS THING.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO.

Woman: ALL RIGHT, WE GOT IT. GO.

[BEEPING]

HEY! WE'VE GOT CONTACT.

WHAT? WHAT HAVE WE GOT?

WE JUST GOT AN E-MAIL FROM THE CAYMANS.

THE ELECTRONIC TRANSFER IS ON ITS WAY.

YES!

THROUGH A LINK-UP WITH INTERPOL

AND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THE CAYMANS,

WE WERE ABLE TO RIG A FAKE TRANSFER.

NOT ONLY WILL NO MONEY BE WIRED INTO THE ACCOUNT,

BUT ANY TIME THEY TRY TO ACCESS IT,

WE WILL HAVE AN AUTOMATIC TRACE ON THE TRANSACTION.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY, UH, REALIZE

THE TRANSFER'S A FAKE?

WELL, IN ORDER FOR THEM TO REALIZE THE TRANSFER'S A FAKE,

THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE SMARTER THAN ME.

AND, UH, YOU KNOW, I JUST DON'T SEE THAT HAPPENING.

HEY, CHECK IT OUT!

TV Anchorwoman; IN A LAST DITCH EFFORT

TO AVOID AN UNPRECEDENTED BIOLOGICAL DISASTER,

THE GOVERNOR HAS AGREED TO MEET ALL OF THE TERRORISTS' DEMANDS,

STARTING WITH THE 5 PRISONERS THEY WANTED RELEASED.

WOODSON.

GET 'EM ON. YOU'RE OUTTA HERE IN 5.

TV Anchorwoman: AND WITH THE FINAL DEMAND OF THE TERRORISTS HAVING BEEN MET,

IT SEEMS THAT DALLAS CAN BREATHE A SIGH OF RELIEF.

THIS IS VIRGINIA WATKINS FROM CHANNEL 11 ACTION NEWS.

WE DID IT.

100 MILLION BUCKS IN THE BANK, AND YOUR BROTHER'S A FREE MAN.

HE'LL BE HERE IN LESS THAN AN HOUR.

WE WAIT FOR THE DEVICE TO BLOW,

AND WHILE THEY'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

HOW TO INOCULATE A MILLION PEOPLE,

WE ARE FLYING OUT OF HERE.

[OVERLAPPING POLICE RADIO BROADCASTS]

[SIREN BLARES]

[POLICE RADIO BROADCASTS CONTINUE]

[SIREN BLARING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]

THERE ARE ONLY 2 OTHER LOCATIONS THE ANTHRAX CAN BE.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Man: WALKER!

THERE'S NOTHING UP HERE.

THERE ARE ONLY 12 MINUTES LEFT.

IT'S OUR LAST SHOT.

TRIVETTE, UP THERE. LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

Walker: A NEW LOCK.

THINK IT'S IN THERE? IT'S GOT TO BE.

WELL, IF IT IS, THEN HOW ARE WE GONNA OPEN IT

WITHOUT JARRING THE EXPLOSIVE DEVICE?

HOLD THE BOX.

YOU GONNA TRY TO DISARM IT?

I DON'T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE.

GET A CHOPPER UP HERE.

[BEEPING]

TELL THEM THEY HAVE TO BE UP HERE IN 5 MINUTES.

THIS IS RANGER TRIVETTE. WE NEED A CHOPPER AT, UH, PEARL AND ELM.

YEAH, GET IT HERE QUICK!

[♪]

IT'S AT 4500 LEDGE.

OK, THANKS.

THAT WAS SYDNEY. THEY GOT A LOCATION.

[ENGINE STARTS]

[TIRES SCREECH]

HEY, BIG BROTHER, I'M OUT.

ALL RIGHT. WE GO IN 2 HOURS.

THAT'S 2, HUH?

WAIT A MINUTE. SOMETHING'S WRONG.

TV Reporter: 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! HANDS IN THE AIR!

[RANGERS' GUNS COCK]

Rangers: GET DOWN! GET DOWN!

[RANGERS SHOUT ORDERS]

HYAH!

HOLD IT!

YOU'RE NOT TAKING ME BACK.

I'M NOT GOING BACK TO PRISON.

REALLY?

HYAH!

OHH!

YOU OK?

YEAH. YOU?

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU GOTTA TELL ME.

HOW DID YOU FIND US?

STILL HAVE THAT OLD CIA INQUISITIVENESS.

SHALL WE TELL HIM, WALKER?

WHY NOT?

[TRACKER BEEPING]

OHH. BROTHER.

C.D.: OOH, VERY GOOD. VERY GOOD.

[TALKING AND LAUGHTER]

HERE YOU GO, CORDELL.

THIS'LL CURE WHAT AILS YA.

SO WE ARE, HUH? WE ARE.

Sydney: ABSOLUTELY.

I MEAN, WHEN WE WERE IN THE FBI ACADEMY IN QUANTICO,

EVERYBODY TALKED ABOUT YOU GUYS.

OH, I LOVE THIS.

YOU HEAR THAT, WALKER?

THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT US AT THE FBI ACADEMY, MAN.

ALL RIGHT, TELL ME WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT US.

LONG VERSION.

Sydney: OK, WELL,

EVERYBODY TALKED ABOUT WALKER'S ARREST RECORD

AND HIS MARTIAL ARTS AND--

Trivette: YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW.

WHAT ABOUT ME? WHAT ABOUT MY ARREST RECORD?

MY COMPUTER SKILLS. THEY TALK ABOUT MY COMPUTER SKILLS?

Sydney: WELL...

UH...

GAGE, DON'T HANG ME UP, BROTHER.

WELL, ACTUALLY, TRIVETTE,

ALL ANYONE EVER TALKED ABOUT REALLY WAS

THAT TIME YOU WENT UNDERCOVER

AS A MALE STRIPPER IN LUBBOCK.

UH-OH.

AHEM. LET'S NOT GO THERE.

THEY SAY THE LITTLE OLD LADIES IN LUBBOCK

ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT YOUR, UM...

Sydney and Gage: BACKFIELD IN MOTION.
