YES.

HMM. ANY LITTLE WALKERS ON THE WAY?

CHRISTY!

WHEN WE WORKED TOGETHER IN DALLAS,

DID YOU KNOW I HAD A CRUSH ON HIM?

OF COURSE I DID.

AND IF YOU HADN'T TAKEN THE JOB AT SAGE COUNTY

DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, I MAY HAVE HAD TO KILL YOU.

NO, ACTUALLY, MARRIED LIFE IS, UH,

IT'S AS NICE AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.

ACTUALLY, IT'S EVEN BETTER.

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE.

P.A. announcer: LEADING OFF FOR SAGE CITY, OFFICER ROGERS.

MY GRANDMOTHER COULD HAVE HIT THAT.

YEP. HE, UH, JUST WENT TO HIS RIG FOR A BEER.

NO, I'LL GO ALONG WITH YOU.

Umpire: STRIKE 2!

Player: HEY, RANGER BABE.

GOOD JOB, GOOD JOB, GOOD JOB.

COME ON, GUYS. LET'S GET THE JOB DONE.

COME ON, NOW.

UH, LIEUTENANT SHELL, YOU HAVE A MOMENT

TO TALK ABOUT THE SMOKEY COLE BUST?

YOU KNOW ONLY CAPTAIN RYDER SPEAKS FOR THE Z.T.U.

WELL, YOU KNOW, I'M INTERVIEWING HIM ON MY SHOW TONIGHT,

BUT I NEED A QUOTE FROM HIS TOP MAN IN THE TRENCHES.

RIGHT NOW, I'M HIS MAN ON THE MOUND.

BOY, IT MUST BE A SLOW NEWS DAY

IF THE PRESS IS HERE TO COVER A POLICE BASEBALL GAME.

IT'S ABOUT A BIG DRUG BUST

THAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY.

THE Z.T.U. TOOK OUT SMOKEY COLE

AND CONFISCATED A MOUNTAIN OF COCAINE.

THIRD MAJOR DRUG RING TO FALL THIS MONTH.

WHAT'S THE Z.T.U.?

ZERO TOLERANCE UNIT HEADED UP BY CAPTAIN RYDER.

82 BUSTS ARE LANDING ON MY DESK TOMORROW MORNING.

THIS ISN'T DALLAS.

MY RESOURCES ARE GOING TO BE TAXED TO THE MAX.

WELL, LAST YEAR, WALKER TOOK OUT 6 DRUG RINGS IN ONE MONTH.

WE WERE SWAMPED. OVER 200 CASES,

BUT EVERY ONE OF THEM LANDED IN HUNTSVILLE.

WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY I WANT TO PICK YOUR BRAIN.

BASES ARE LOADED, AND WALKER'S UP.

P.A. announcer: BASES ARE LOADED AS RANGER WALKER STEPS TO THE PLATE.

Man: 65 OUT THERE, BABY! COME ON, NOW!

Gage: ALL RIGHT, WALKER, WHAT DO YOU SAY NOW? COME ON!

Sydney: WALKER, WALKER, WALKER, LET'S GO!

Gage: GIVE IT A RIDE. COME ON.

LITTLE HIT. LITTLE HIT, BOSS.

Sydney: COME ON, WALKER!

Trivette: ALL THE WAY!

Gage: BIG HIT! COME ON, BOSS.

P.A. announcer: THAT'S A BIG HIT!

GRAND-SLAM HOME RUN FOR RANGER WALKER!

THE BRONCOS TAKE THE LEAD 6-5.

P.A. announcer: AND THAT'S THE GAME, FOLKS.

THE TEXAS RANGERS BEAT...

YEAH, BUDDY. YOU GUYS ARE PRETTY GOOD.

OBVIOUSLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH. SEE YOU AT THE 10-7 TONIGHT?

YOU BET. YOU BET.

GOOD.

HEY. OOH, OOH.

PRETTY GOOD FOR A GIRL.

OK.

GOOD GAME, RANGER WALKER.

THANKS, COOPER.

YOU KNOW, UH, MY FUTURE GOAL IS

TO BECOME A TEXAS RANGER.

WELL, THAT'S A GOOD GOAL. HOPE YOU MAKE IT.

I'LL SEE YOU TONIGHT.

UH, ACTUALLY, UH, I'D REALLY LIKE THAT,

BUT I MADE PREVIOUS PLANS.

WELL, NICE MEETING YOU.

THANKS.

I HAVE TO TELL YOU, COOP, I'M SCARED.

YEAH, SO AM I.

HEY, MR. WINSLOW, I NEED TO TALK WITH YOU.

BEAT IT.

AT MIDNIGHT, WE TAKE POSSESSION

OF 300 KILOS FROM THE SMOKEY COLE BUST.

AND BYE-BYE SMOKEY TO BOOT.

DIRTY COPS WITH AN UNLIMITED SUPPLY OF FREE COCAINE.

IS THIS A PERFECT BUSINESS, OR WHAT?

I'M TELLING YOU.

THAT STARTS THE DOUBLE PLAY

THAT PUT YOUR BUTTS ON ICE, GENTLEMEN.

HEAR, HEAR. YEAH.

SO, WAIT A MINUTE. THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO

WITH THIS LADY WHO JUMPED 10 FEET IN THE AIR

AND THREW A STRIKE TO FIRST?

I'M NOT SAYING THAT.

WALKER, I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND IF I STOP BY CHRISTY'S OFFICE

IN THE MORNING BEFORE WE HEAD BACK TO DALLAS?

NO, NOT AT ALL.

LIEUTENANT, DO YOU MIND IF WE USE THE POLICE GYM

FOR A LITTLE WORKOUT WHILE WE'RE IN TOWN?

YOU GOT IT.

FEEL LIKE GOING A COUPLE OF ROUNDS THERE, SHORTY?

UH!

SO, ARE YOU READY TO CALL IT A NIGHT?

YOU BET.

WELL, IT'S BEEN FUN.

WAIT A MINUTE. YOU GUYS CAN'T GO.

THE CELEBRATION'S JUST GETTING STARTED.

WELL, HAVE A GOOD TIME.

OLD FOLKS NEED THEIR REST.

I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT BEING TIRED.

YOU TIRED?

NOT ONE BIT.

AWW. GOOD NIGHT.

GUYS! OH,PLEASE.

COME ON.

WHERE'S YOUR PARTNER?

WHY?

THEY WAY HE ACTED DURING THE GAME,

I THOUGHT MAYBE HE WAS SICK OR SOMETHING.

HE'S FINE, SIR.

CAPTAIN RYDER'S ON THE TUBE.

Reporter: BEFORE WE GIVE THE CAPTAIN THE THIRD DEGREE,

LET'S REVIEW YESTERDAY'S BIG DRUG BUST AT HENNER'S FARM.

THE RAID WAS CONDUCTED BY OFFICERS OF THE ZERO TOLERANCE UNIT.

ALLEGED DRUG DEALER SMOKEY COLE

AND HIS ASSOCIATES WERE ARRESTED,

AND OVER 700 KILOS OF COCAINE WERE SEIZED.

THE OPERATION WAS THE LATEST IN A SERIES OF DRUG BUSTS

CARRIED OUT UNDER THE COMMAND OF CAPTAIN RYDER.

THANK YOU,

BUT THE HEAVY LIFTING ON ALL 3 BUSTS WAS DONE BY

LIEUTENANT SHELL AND DETECTIVES BAKER AND MOODY.

THANKS TO THEIR SOLID POLICE WORK, SMOKEY COLE IS IN JAIL,

AND 700 KILOS OF COCAINE DIDN'T REACH OUR STREETS.

THEY ARE THE HEROS.

THEY ARE THE MEN YOU SHOULD BE TALKING TO.

Reporter: THANK YOU, CAPTAIN RYDER.

SAGE CITY SPOTLIGHT WILL BE RIGHT BACK AFTER THESE MESSAGES.

HEY, SWEETHEART.

WHOA!

CAN I PLAY IN YOUR FIELD OF DREAMS?

I'M SORRY. I DON'T DO NIGHTMARES.

YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.

OH, BUT I DO.

OHH!

UGH!

NO, YOU DON'T!

YOU OK?

[SIGHING] YEAH.

[CHUCKLES]

YEAH. SHE LIKES YOU ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

SO WE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT OR WHAT?

TALK ABOUT WHAT?

SYD, YOU KISSED ME. COME ON.

YOU KNOW, WALKER AND ALEX, THEY LANDED SAFELY.

I WAS EXCITED.

IT WAS A CELEBRATION KISS.

UH-HUH.

YEAH? YEAH.

DIDN'T FEEL LIKE A CELEBRATION KISS.

TRUST ME.

IF I EVER KISSED YOU FOR REAL, YOU'D KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

OHH!

AAH! UNH.

WHY DON'T YOU LET ME SEE

IF I CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE.

YOU WANT ME TO KISS YOU?

THAT'S YOUR CALL.

UHH!

THERE'S YOUR KISS.

THAT WASN'T FUNNY, SYD.

COME ON. COME ON.

IT WASN'T FUNNY, SYD.

[BARKING]

EASY, BEAR.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

BEAR JUST GOT A HIT.

IT'S GOT TO BE 90% PURE TO GET HIM THIS EXCITED.

COKE? IT'S GOTTA BE, SIR.

WHOSE LOCKER IS IT?

IT'S GLEN COOPER'S.

HE DIDN'T SHOW UP THIS MORNING.

NEITHER DID HIS PARTNER.

LET'S GET IT OPEN.

I NEED CHARGES ON ALL 82 CASES FILED BY TONIGHT.

SORRY. WE NEED TO FILE I-4s FIRST,

AND THAT'LL TAKE 3 DAYS.

YOU CAN GET A JUDGE TO WAIVE I-4s

SIMPLY BY FILING A WRIT OF EPIDIMUS MAX.

YOU CAN?

IF YOU KNOW THE JUDGE WELL ENOUGH.

LET'S GET ON IT, BEN.

HOW DO WE GET BY THE MOTION FOR 82 SEPARATE TRIALS?

WELL, IN THE GOODWIN CASE...

COOPER PROBABLY SLIPPED IT OUT OF AN EVIDENCE BAG,

STASHED IT AT THE FARM, WENT BACK TO GET IT LATER.

WHY WOULD HE BRING IT IN HERE?

I NEVER MET A SMART DOPER, CAPTAIN.

EVERYTHING WE WORKED FOR IS ABOUT TO GO OUT THE WINDOW.

YOU WANT ME TO BRING HIM IN, SIR?

YEAH.

MOODY, ROGERS, LET'S GO GET HIM.

Cooper: HE SAID HE WOULD BE HERE AT 9:00.

OK. JUST GIVE HIM THE MESSAGE.

NO. NO. YOU TELL HIM WE'RE ON OUR WAY IN.

I DON'T LIKE THIS.

ME, EITHER.

YOU KNOW WHAT? LET ME GET MY GEAR.

COOP! WE BEEN SET UP!

UHH.

GET HIM, ROGERS.

DO THIS. CAN'T LET COOPER GET AWAY.

RIGHT.

[GUNSHOT]

ALL RIGHT.

MOVE!

[SIREN BLARING]

[CAR HONKS]

[HONKING HORN]

LOOK OUT!

TRIVETTE, I'M PICKING ALEX UP RIGHT NOW.

I'LL SEE YOU IN ABOUT 20 MINUTES.

OK.

[SIREN APPROACHING]

I NEED TO SEE THE D.A. AAH!

AAH!

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

POLICE! DOWN ON THE FLOOR!

UHH!

OH, MY GOD! CHRISTY!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

COOPER RESISTED ARREST, TRIED TO KILL US.

HOLD IT! STOP FIRING.

ALEX!

WALKER.

YOU OK?

YES, BUT CHRISTY'S BEEN SHOT.

COOPER, YOU'RE UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF NARCOTICS FOR SALE.

THAT'S A LIE, AND YOU KNOW IT, YOU ROTTEN SLIMEBALL.

YEAH. SLIMEBALL THIS.

I SAID STOP FIRING.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO THAT.

THIS BADGE GIVES ME EVERY RIGHT. NOW GET OUT OF HERE.

GO ON. ALL OF YOU.

COOPER! YOU'RE HOLDING MY WIFE.

I KNOW THAT, RANGER WALKER, BUT I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

YOU BY THE WINDOW, SHUT THOSE BLINDS! TIGHT!

THEN GET BACK OVER HERE!

LET'S GO. LET'S GO. MOVE.

CAPTAIN RYDER!

WE WENT TO ARREST COOPER.

WE FOUND HIM AND HIS PARTNER

CUTTING UP A KILO OF COKE.

SIMMS OPENED FIRE. WE WERE FORCED TO RESPOND,

AND COOPER FLED THE SCENE.

WE CHASED HIM HERE, SIR,

CORNERED HIM IN THE D.A.'s OFFICE.

WHEN WE MOVED TO TAKE HIM DOWN,

RANGER WALKER STOPPED US.

WALKER? TOOK BAKER'S GUN AWAY.

HOSTAGES?

ABOUT 5.

INCLUDING WALKER'S WIFE.

WALKER, SHE'S BLEEDING BADLY.

YOU'RE MAKING SOME BAD CHOICES, COOPER.

I DIDN'T SHOOT HER.

DETECTIVE BAKER DID.

IT'S TRUE. HE WAS PROTECTING ME.

IF THAT'S THE CASE, LET ME TAKE A LOOK AT HER.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY GET UP.

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY GET UP.

GET UP AND MOVE INTO THE D.A.'s OFFICE.

COME ON! MOVE! COME ON! LET'S GO!

MOVE!

PLEASE DON'T HURT ME.

OK, RANGER WALKER.

WALKER. WALKER.

DON'T MOVE.

OK. PUT YOUR HAND RIGHT HERE.

HERE.

HOLD IT TIGHT. HOLD IT TIGHT.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

YEAH. TRIVETTE.

TRIVETTE, THE D.A.'s BEEN SHOT.

I NEED A PARAMEDIC UP HERE RIGHT AWAY.

COOPER'S TAKEN EVERYONE HOSTAGE, INCLUDING ALEX.

ARE YOU AND ALEX ALL RIGHT?

YEAH. WE'RE FINE.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT ME TO DO?

NOT RIGHT NOW.

ALL RIGHT.

WHAT'S UP?

COME ON.

ALL RIGHT, WALKER, WE'RE OUT FRONT.

PARAMEDICS ARE ON THEIR WAY IN.

HELP'S ON THE WAY, CHRISTY.

THANKS, WALKER.

AND GOOD LUCK.

OVER HERE.

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE YOU NOW, OK?

Paramedic: GONNA BE ALL RIGHT, MA'AM.

[CELL PHONE RINGS] TRIVETTE.

WHO'S IN CHARGE OUT THERE?

CAPTAIN RYDER.

PUT HIM ON.

HEY, CAPTAIN RYDER,

WALKER WANTS TO TALK TO YOU.

THIS IS CAPTAIN RYDER.

TELL ME ABOUT COOPER.

WELL, 2 YEARS ON THE FORCE,

HE'S ALREADY ASSIGNED TO AN ELITE UNIT.

BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD.

AND HE STEALS 2 KILOS OF COCAINE. GO FIGURE.

I UNDERSTAND HE HAS YOUR WIFE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU'RE TOO CLOSE TO THIS, RANGER.

I'M SENDING IN A HOSTAGE NEGOTIATOR.

NO. I WILL HANDLE IT, CAPTAIN.

NOW, PUT TRIVETTE BACK ON.

YEAH, SURE. WHATEVER YOU SAY.

YEAH, WALKER.

TRIVETTE, SIT TIGHT AND DON'T LET ANYONE COME IN.

YOU GOT IT.

YOUR MEN IN POSITION?

HEY, WE'RE GOOD TO GO, SIR.

SNIPERS?

IN POSITION, BUT HE CLOSED THE BLINDS.

IF THEY SEE A SHOT, TAKE IT.

HEY, CAPTAIN. DIDN'T WALKER SAY HANG LOOSE?

WALKER HAS A PERSONAL STAKE IN THIS.

IF I HAVE SHOT AND DON'T TAKE IT,

THEN COOPER WINDS UP SHOOTING SOMEONE OR ALL OF THEM,

HOW WILL I EXPLAIN THAT, RANGER TRIVETTE?

IF YOU WANT TO HELP, CONVINCE WALKER TO COME OUT

SO I CAN SEND IN A NEGOTIATOR.

CAPTAIN, YOU NOT GOING TO FIND A BETTER NEGOTIATOR THAN WALKER.

[SOBBING]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

COOPER, I WANT TO COME IN.

ONLY WITH YOUR HANDS UP

AND UNARMED.

TURN AROUND.

SLOWLY.

OK.

WHAT DO YOU WANT, RANGER WALKER?

THE TRUTH. DID YOU STEAL 2 KILOS OF COCAINE?

NO, SIR. THEY SET ME UP,

AND NOW THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO KILL ME

FOR WHAT I KNOW.

WHO SET YOU UP?

I THOUGHT I KNEW, BUT, BOY, WAS I WRONG,

AND WHO KNOWS HOW HIGH IT GOES UP?

LOOK, BAKER, MOODY, AND ROGERS, THEY'RE IN IT FOR SURE.

I SAW THEM TAKE 300 KILOS FROM THE SMOKEY COLE BUST.

300 KILOS?

HOW COULD SO MUCH GO UNACCOUNTED FOR?

BAKER AND MOODY DID THE LOG-IN.

ROGERS STASHED BAGS FULL OF KILOS

BEHIND A STACK OF HAY BALES.

LAST NIGHT, THEY WENT BACK AND PUT IT ALL INTO BAKER'S PICKUP.

I NEED TO CALL TRIVETTE.

OK.

COOPER SEEMED LIKE A DECENT GUY.

YEAH. I WOULD'VE NEVER PEGGED HIM FOR DIRTY.

SOMETHING WAS GOING ON WITH HIM YESTERDAY.

I HEARD LIEUTENANT SHELL TELL HIM TO GET HIS HEAD BACK IN THE GAME.

YEAH. TRIVETTE.

Walker: ARE GAGE AND SYDNEY THERE?

YEAH, THEY'RE RIGHT HERE.

I WANT THEM TO CHECK SOMETHING OUT.

PUT GAGE ON.

WALKER WANTS TO TALK TO YOU.

YEAH.

Reporter: AND I JUST LEARNED

COOPER STOLE AT LEAST ONE KILO

OF COCAINE FROM THE SMOKEY COLE BUST.

WITH MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS,

AN INVESTIGATION'S SURE TO FOLLOW.

THIS IS INDEED A BLACK DAY FOR CAPTAIN RYDER'S

VAUNTED ZERO TOLERANCE UNIT.

BOYS, THIS BETTER NOT JUMP UP AND BITE ME.

Thug: DON'T WORRY, MR. WINSLOW.

I JUST WANTED TO DO THE RIGHT THING. YOU KNOW?

AND SIMMS, HE WANTED NO PART OF IT.

HE SAID THE WHOLE THING WOULD BACKFIRE ON US

AND THAT WE SHOULD JUST FORGET ABOUT IT.

BUT I WOULDN'T LISTEN, AND NOW HE'S DEAD.

AND THEY KILLED HIM.

[SOBBING] WILL YOU STOP?

JUST STOP CRYING, PLEASE.

YOU'LL BE OK.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

I NEED TO ANSWER THAT.

IF YOU GIVE ME YOUR WORD

THAT YOU WON'T TRY ANYTHING FUNNY.

YOU HAVE MY WORD.

OK.

WALKER.

YEAH, WALKER, I DID SOME CHECKING ON YOUR BOY.

HIS FATHER WAS A TEXAS RANGER NAMED TOM COOPER.

YEAH, I REMEMBER HIM. GOOD MAN.

DIED IN THE LINE OF DUTY.

YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHO ELSE HE'S RELATED TO.

I THINK I CAN GUESS.

LET ME GO! PLEASE DON'T LET ME DIE!

PLEASE, JUST-- JUST STOP.

I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!

NO, GET AWAY FROM THERE!

HELP US!

GET AWAY FROM THERE!

[HOSTAGES SCREAM]

SO THAT'S WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO GET SHOT.

YOU'RE LUCKY. IT'S JUST A FLESH WOUND.

NO, RANGER WALKER,

I'LL BE LUCKY IF I GET OUT OF THIS ALIVE.

YOU WILL.

AND I BELIEVE YOU.

AND I THINK YOUR GREAT-GREAT- GRANDFATHER

HAYES COOPER BELIEVES YOU, TOO.

TALK TO ME, LEO!

Leo: I THINK I HIT HIM.

WAS IT A KILL SHOT?

NO.

END THIS SITUATION.

YES, SIR.

[SPEED DIALING]

WHAT IS IT, TRIVETTE?

S.W.A.T. TEAM'S COMING RIGHT TO YOU.

TELL RYDER TO CALL IT OFF.

EVERYTHING'S UNDER CONTROL HERE.

DO THE SAME OUT THERE.

ALL RIGHT. CAPTAIN RYDER?

WALKER SAYS STAND DOWN.

CAPTAIN, I NEED TO KNOW. ARE WE GOING IN OR NOT?

NO, YOU'RE NOT!

I DON'T RECALL YOUR NAME

BEING ABOVE MINE IN THE CHAIN OF COMMAND, MISTER!

CAPTAIN, TEXAS RANGERS HAVE JURISDICTION

OVER EVERY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY

IN THIS STATE.

IF WALKER SAYS STAND DOWN,

AS SENIOR RANGER ON THE SCENE,

STAND DOWN IT IS, SIR.

ALL RIGHT.

FROM NOW ON, IT'S ALL ON WALKER'S SHOULDERS.

IT'S NOT A BAD PLACE FOR IT TO BE...SIR.

Sydney: COME ON, SMOKEY.

Cole: I DIDN'T MOVE A GRAM.

COPS GOT IT ALL, 1,000 KILOS.

THE NEWS ONLY REPORTED 700.

WELL, THAT'S ANOTHER BOAT THAT DON'T FLOAT.

RYDER DEAD-BANGED ME FOR 1,000 KEYS.

YOU KNOW, IT AIN'T NATURAL

FOR NARCS TO LOWBALL A BUST TO THE PRESS.

YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY THAT...

FRIENDS TELL ME

THAT SOME OF IT'S ALREADY ON THE STREET.

WONDER HOW IT GOT THERE.

[GUNS COCKING]

[WOMAN SOBBING]

HERE, WHY DON'T YOU PUT A LITTLE PRESSURE ON THAT.

THANK YOU.

I'M SO SORRY, MR. COOPER.

IT'S OK, MISS.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY TOOK 300 KILOS FROM THE BUST?

I SAW THEM DO IT, SIR.

AND LAST NIGHT,

I SAW THEM COME BACK AND PICK IT UP.

Man: YEAH, ALL RIGHT!

Cooper: IT WAS LIKE A VICTORY PARTY.

FROM WHAT I GATHERED, IT WASN'T THE FIRST.

YOU KNOW, AS SOON AS I REALIZED

THAT--THAT I WAS RIGHT,

I--I KNEW I WAS IN OVER MY HEAD.

SO I WENT TO THE ONE MAN

THAT I KNEW I COULD TRUST.

I TOLD LIEUTENANT SHELL

WHAT I SAW THE DAY OF THE BUST

AND THAT, UH, I HAD STAKED OUT

HENNER'S BARN FOR 2 NIGHTS IN A ROW,

AND IT HAD PAID OFF.

ANYONE ELSE IN ON IT?

ONLY BAKER, MOODY, AND ROGERS, SIR.

WELL, WHO ELSE KNOWS ABOUT IT?

JUST ME AND MY PARTNER SIMMS.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO BACK IT UP?

TOOK PICTURES.

I GOT THEM DEVELOPED AT AN ALL-NIGHT

ONE-HOUR PHOTO JOINT ON DAKOTA.

WE HAVE TO GET THESE TO I.A.

RIGHT. I FIGURED YOU'D KNOW

THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT.

GET SIMMS, GO TO YOUR PLACE, AND SIT TIGHT.

I'LL PICK YOU UP AT 9:00.

BUT, SIR, WE GO ON DUTY AT 8:00.

I'LL COVER FOR YOU, PICK YOU UP AFTER ROLL CALL.

I'M SORRY ABOUT THIS, SIR.

ME, TOO.

BUT IT HAS TO COME OUT.

NOTHING'S WORSE THAN DIRTY COPS.

KEEP THESE UNTIL TOMORROW.

ACTUALLY, I'D RATHER YOU KEEP THEM, LIEUTENANT.

I MADE AN EXTRA COPY, AND I STILL HAVE THE NEGATIVES.

GOOD WORK, COOPER.

THANK YOU, SIR.

SIMMS AND I WERE WAITING FOR SHELL

WHEN BAKER, MOODY, AND ROGERS KICKED THE DOOR IN.

A-AND KILLED SIMMS.

DO YOU THINK LIEUTENANT SHELL'S INVOLVED IN THIS?

IT-IT'S HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE, SIR.

MAYBE HE TOLD SOMEONE IN I.A.

AND THAT LEAKED OUT O-OR HE TOLD CAPTAIN RYDER.

I JUST DON'T KNOW.

WHERE ARE THE NEGATIVES

AND THE SECOND SET OF PRINTS?

I PERSONALLY LOGGED EVERY KILO FROM ALL 3 BUSTS,

AND EVERY KILO IS STILL HERE.

SO THE 2 KILOS THEY FOUND

IN COOPER'S POSSESSION

DIDN'T COME OUT OF HERE.

WE SPOKE TO COLE

AND THE OTHER 2 DEALERS

BUSTED BY THE Z.T.U.

THEY ALL SAID THEY LOST MORE COKE

THAN WAS REPORTED IN THE PRESS.

THEY'RE LYING. EVERY KILO WAS LOGGED IN.

MIND IF WE TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR LOG-IN SHEET?

NOT AT ALL. HERE YOU GO.

YEP, LOOK AT THIS. SAYS HERE

THE 3 BUSTS NETTED 2,000 KILOS OF COCAINE.

GLAD IT'S OFF THE STREET.

THE DEALERS SAID THEY LOST 3.

IF YOU CAN TRUST JUNK DEALERS.

WELL, IF YOU CAN,

THAT'S OVER A TON OF CONFISCATED COCAINE

THAT NEVER MADE IT TO THE EVIDENCE LOCKER.

OH, THAT SEEMS HIGHLY UNLIKELY.

THEN WHY IS IT ALREADY ON THE STREET?

Trivette: GAGE IS PRETTY SURE

A TON OF COKE WAS TAKEN

FROM THE RECENT BUSTS,

WHICH MEANS DIRTY COPS.

YEAH, IT SEEMS THAT WAY.

WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON LIEUTENANT SHELL?

SEEMS TO BE A STRAIGHT SHOOTER.

CAPTAIN RYDER HAS A HOT TRIGGER FINGER, THOUGH.

OK, TELL GAGE AND SYDNEY

TO GO TO THE THIRD STREET LIBRARY.

WHAT'S AT THE THIRD STREET LIBRARY?

PICTURES.

YOU CAN ALL LEAVE.

Woman: OH, GREAT.

ALEX, I WANT YOU TO LEAVE, TOO.

I LEAVE WHEN YOU LEAVE.

[BYSTANDERS CHEERING]

ALL RIGHT.

THANKS, CAPTAIN.

HEY, LIEUTENANT SHELL?

YES, SIR?

COOPER TOLD WALKER THAT HE HAS PICTURES

OF BAKER, MOODY, AND ROGERS LOADING A PICKUP

WITH BAGGED KILOS OF COKE AT HENNER'S FARM LAST NIGHT.

THE KID IS OBVIOUSLY TROUBLED.

HE SAYS HE HID THE PICTURES AND THE NEGATIVES

IN A BOOK IN THE LIBRARY

AROUND THE CORNER FROM HIS APARTMENT.

WHAT?

MM-HMM. RELIGION AISLE,

THIRD KING JAMES BIBLE FROM THE RIGHT.

THE BIGGEST LIARS HAVE THE BEST DETAILS.

WALKER'S GOING FOR A LINE OF CRAP.

I HOPE IT DOESN'T GET HIM KILLED.

FICTION, AISLE 10,

FIFTH COPY OF ATLAS SHRUGGED FROM THE LEFT.

IF HE HAS PICTURES,

WHY DIDN'T HE BRING THEM TO ME?

CAPTAIN, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,

ANYBODY WHO TAKES OVER A ROOM FULL OF HOSTAGES

IS A PSYCHO WHO'D SAY ANYTHING.

WALKER JUST WANTED ME TO KEEP YOU IN THE LOOP.

WELL, THAT'S NICE TO KNOW.

PATROLMAN COOPER RELEASED ALL BUT ONE OF THE HOSTAGES,

AND THIS SITUATION MAY BE COMING TO AN END.

FIRST WORD FROM THE HOSTAGES

IS RANGER WALKER THINKS COOPER

WAS SET UP BY OTHER COPS.

THIS SITUATION GETS STRANGER BY THE MINUTE.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

I'M TELLING YOU, CHICK,

IF THOSE COPS CAVE ON US,

WE DON'T WANNA GET CAUGHT HOLDING THE BAG, MAN.

OK.

TIME TO CUT OUR LOSSES.

LET'S HOLD A FIRE SALE AND DUMP ALL THE COCAINE.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

Librarian: CAN I HELP YOU?

POLICE.

KING JAMES.

IT'S NOT HERE.

BUT THEY WERE.

YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE TOO LATE.

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST. ESPECIALLY YOU, ROMEO.

WHOA!

CAPTAIN, DID YOU HEAR?

HEAR WHAT?

TEXAS RANGERS ARE INTERROGATING

BAKER, MOODY, AND ROGERS.

WHAT FOR?

HEY, I DON'T KNOW.

OH--

GO SEE WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.

YES, CAPTAIN.

SEEMS PRETTY CUT AND DRIED TO ME.

THANKS. THANK YOU.

OK, WE TALKED TO YOUR PARTNERS.

Sydney: IT'S AMAZING WHAT HAPPENS

WHEN YOU GET CAUGHT WITH YOUR PANTS DOWN.

YEP. WE SHOWED THEM THE PHOTOS,

AND ALL THEY WANNA DO IS CUT A DEAL.

AND THEY BOTH SAID THAT YOU KILLED SIMMS.

OH, THAT'S A LIE.

BAKER KILLED SIMMS.

WE'RE JUST TELLING YOU WHAT THEY SAID.

THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE WHOLE OPERATION

WAS YOUR IDEA.

[SCOFFS]

IT WAS MY IDEA?

YEP. YEAH.

FINE. YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENED?

I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING.

Trivette: YEAH.

ROGERS IMPLICATED BAKER AND MOODY,

ROLLED ON LIEUTENANT SHELL

AND A DRUG DEALER NAMED CHICK WINSLOW.

WHAT'S WINSLOW'S PART?

WINSLOW GIVES DRUG SHIPMENT INFO TO SHELL.

SHELL TAKES OUT WINSLOW'S COMPETITION AND STEALS THE DRUGS,

WHICH WINSLOW THEN SELLS AT 100% PROFIT

AND SPLITS 50/50.

TELL CAPTAIN RYDER WE'RE COMING OUT.

YOU GOT IT.

LET'S GO.

HEY, CAPTAIN RYDER?

WALKER'S BRINGING COOPER OUT.

IT'S ABOUT TIME.

HE WANTS HIM PUT UNDER PROTECTIVE CUSTODY

WITH THE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

PROTECTIVE CUSTODY? AFTER WHAT HE'S DONE?

HUMPH! WHY THE SHERIFF'S?

SOME MEN IN YOUR UNIT MAY STILL BE DIRTY.

HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE COOPER'S SAFE

UNTIL THIS IS ALL SORTED OUT.

TRIVETTE, THE BAKER BOYS ARE IN SHERIFF'S LOCKUP.

HERE'S EXHIBIT "A".

CAPTAIN?

[CROWD CHEERING]

WATCH HIS ARM.

GUYS, GUYS, I GOTTA BE ABLE TO GET THE SHOT.

LOOK, I'VE GOT A RIGHT--

HEY, DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU'RE PUSHING?

I'M GONNA GO CALL THE HOSPITAL

AND SEE HOW CHRISTY'S DOING.

OK.

Trivette: HEY.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED.

I THOUGHT THEY WERE ALL DEDICATED OFFICERS.

THEY PROBABLY WERE ONCE.

WHERE'S LIEUTENANT SHELL?

I SENT HIM TO THE SHERIFF'S SUBSTATION

TO FIND OUT WHY YOUR PEOPLE WERE INTERROGATING

BAKER, MOODY, AND ROGERS.

HE LEFT ABOUT 10 MINUTES AGO.

WHY? WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH SHELL?

ROGERS CONFESSED.

LIEUTENANT SHELL'S THE LEADER.

HE'S THE ONE THAT SET UP COOPER AND HIS PARTNER.

I'LL GET A 20 ON SHELL.

Lt. Hunt on Radio: Z.T.U. 2, COME IN.

LIEUTENANT SHELL, WHAT'S YOUR 20?

WE GOT ANY UNIT OUT THERE

WITH A 20 ON LIEUTENANT SHELL, PLEASE RESPOND.

Officer: WE JUST SAW LIEUTENANT SHELL GOING NORTH ON FLOWER.

HE'S GOING HOME.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS PERSONALLY.

I'LL GO WITH YOU.

HAVE THE CLOSEST UNIT STAKE OUT LIEUTENANT SHELL'S HOUSE.

DON'T DO ANYTHING TILL WE GET THERE.

YES, SIR.

TAKE DOWN CHICK WINSLOW.

YOU GOT IT.

IS THAT YOUR UNIT?

RIGHT OVER HERE.

COME ON, LET'S GO.

I JUST TALKED TO THE HOSPITAL.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY CLARK IS GONNA BE JUST FINE.

THAT'S GOOD NEWS. YEAH.

HOW YOU DOING?

OH, UH, I'LL BE FINE.

CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?

SURE.

HOW DID WALKER KNOW ABOUT HAYES COOPER?

EVERYONE NEEDS A HERO.

AND HAYES COOPER

HAS ALWAYS BEEN WALKER'S HERO.

LET'S GET THAT COKE OUT OF HERE.

LET'S GO, COME ON!

[SIRENS]

Trivette: FREEZE! TEXAS RANGERS!

LET'S GO!

Officer: GO, GO! MOVE IT OUT!

Ryder: LIEUTENANT SHELL!

COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!

Ryder: LIEUTENANT, I'M ASKING YOU ONE MORE TIME,

COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP.

SOMEBODY GET UP HERE AND CUT THIS MAN DOWN!

WELL...

THE GRAND JURY INDICTED WINSLOW

ON TRAFFICKING NARCOTICS.

AND BAKER, MOODY, AND ROGERS

WERE INDICTED FOR THE MURDER OF SIMMS,

AND FOR HIS TESTIMONY,

ROGERS WILL NOT GET THE DEATH PENALTY.

AS FOR COOPER, ALL THE CHARGES HAVE BEEN CLEARED,

AND HE IS GOING TO BE BACK ON DUTY TOMORROW,

WITH A PROMOTION.

SOUNDS LIKE HE'S ON THE FAST TRACK

TO BECOMING A RANGER, JUST LIKE HIS DAD.

YOU THINK COOPER HAS WHAT IT TAKES

TO BE A RANGER? YEAH, I DO.

HEY, GUYS, CHECK THIS OUT!

HOUSTON VICE GRIPS HAVE CHALLENGED US

TO A GAME NEXT SUNDAY.

I THINK WE CAN TAKE THESE GUYS.

ISN'T THAT GREAT?

IS THAT A "NO"?

THIS IS A "NO"!

EASY, EASY!
