All right, we've received word of Cruz Ortega's demand.

He'll trade D.A. Moody, Alex Cahill, Marian Brentano,

and Ranger Sydney Cooke for his brother Ramon.

We have 24 hours to complete the exchange

or the hostages will be killed.

We've made arrangements for Ramon Ortega's release.

To get the Federales out of the picture,

Cruz Ortega will contact us

at the last possible moment

as to where the exchange will take place.

Cruz Ortega will not keep his word.

What reason would he have for keeping the hostages,

Ranger Walker?

We believe he will keep his word.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Send my brother across.

Send the hostages first.

I'll send two now,

and two after you send my brother.

Go.

Now send my brother!

Okay, let Ramon go.

Not till Alex and Sydney come across.

Walker, he will release them.

Ramon's not leaving

until Alex and Sydney come across.

And I'm tellin' you to back off, Walker.

I'm in charge here!

Untie us, Ortega.

I'm sorry.

I don't think so.

Hey, Walker?

You want them?

Come get 'em. Ha, ha, ha.

Walker, get back here.

Cruz!

We had a deal!

Ortega told me to give you this.

I'm sorry, Walker.

Ranger Walker,

you have been the source of much trouble in my life,

but now I think I can return the favor.

My message to you is a simple one.

If you want the lady Ranger

and your fiancée, Miss Cahill...

come get them.

I promise I will show you the same hospitality

you showed my brother Ramon.

If I ever get my hands on him, I swear...

What are we gonna do?

The only solution

to this problem is negotiation.

Negotiation?

Negotiate this.

Come on, let me hear you.

You saw that.

He assaulted a Federal agent.

I didn't see anything.

Me, either.

Now you two make yourselves at home.

How was jail, Ramon?

Too bad you didn't stay long enough to get acquainted.

You should be careful

with that smart mouth of yours.

What do you think the State Department will do?

Negotiate. That's all they know how to do.

The only thing Walker's gonna negotiate

is his way to Mexico.

Can you really do that?

All I can do is try. Oh, no.

We have come to celebrate

with the only two women in Casa Diablo

who truly appreciate the significance of this moment.

Okay, what moment?

The powerful United States of America

bent by the will of the Ortegas.

You'd better celebrate while you can.

I'm sure you're talking about your Ranger Walker.

Coming to save his woman.

You can count on it.

I am counting on it.

I can't wait to get my hands on the famous Walker.

Sh, Ramon. You must be patient.

Well, ladies, if you'll excuse us,

I have some catching up to do with my brother.

I'm just as upset as you are about the way

this thing was handled, Ranger Walker.

Westbrook come to me

complaining that you threatened his life.

He's lucky that's all I did. He's an idiot.

Yeah, well, he is an idiot,

but that ain't what I'm concerned about right now.

What I am concerned about is you goin' down to Mexico

without authorization to get Ranger Cooke

and Alex Cahill back.

Now if I give you a direct order not to go,

you gonna listen?

That's what I thought,

so I'm not gonna give you a direct order not to go.

I'm just gonna leave it at that.

Ranger? Good luck.

Walker?

I can see it in your eyes.

We're goin' down there to get 'em out.

I'm going alone.

Whoa, whoa, wait a minute, Walker.

Sydney is my partner.

I feel like I have a right to go.

Three have a better chance than one.

I said I'm going alone.

There's that dang lone wolf attitude again.

Walker would never come here to Mexico.

The man would be crazy to try

and rescue the women from señor Ortega.

Señor Ortega says he's not a normal man.

He will come.

It will be our necks if we don't capture him.

Morning, guys.

Mind if I have some coffee?

So... Ortega wants to kill me personally, huh?

That is so, señor.

You are muy loco to come here alone.

Yeah, that's why he didn't come alone.

Now,

are you gonna tell us where Ortega is?

Or do we get to beat it out of you?

Stay down.

I thought I told you guys to stay out of this.

Did you hear him say that?

I could've sworn I heard him say

I'll see you on the other side of the border.

Thanks.

Where do we go from here?

Riata. We'll get provisions there.

Okay. You want me to drive?

Nope.

I got it. Okay.

You did it. Oh, my God.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

Very good, señorita.

Now tell me how you unlocked the handcuffs,

or I will kill you.

Very smart lady.

Very sly.

Lock her up again.

Maria, make sure she has no more hair pins,

then you can feed them.

Your man Walker,

he's probably already in our hands,

trussed up like a pig waiting for delivery to Casa Diablo.

By the time my brother gets through with him,

his own mother won't recognize him.

You know, I remember the first time I met Sydney.

She had just become a Texas Ranger.

Her first assignment as a Ranger,

she had to go undercover with me for... For nine months.

She was tough, though.

She's a firecracker.

I swear, if they have touched her...

Easy, Gage.

Yeah, this is Frank.

Frank, Cruz Ortega.

Cruz? Que pasa? How's business?

Couldn't be better, mi amigo. Couldn't be better.

I don't see how, Cruz.

We haven't gotten any product from you in three weeks.

That's about to change. Don't worry.

I heard Ramon was in the joint.

Was. He's home now.

That's why I called you.

I'm throwing him a little, uh, welcome home fiesta.

Why don't you and your compadres come on down

and, uh, we'll mix a little business with pleasure, huh?

Count me in. I'll round up the boys.

You can fax me the particulars.

Hey, Cruz,

is that little chiquita Maria still workin' for you?

She misses you, Frank. She can't wait to see you.

Great. I'll be there. Adios.

Well, that's as far as this thing's going.

Let's get out of here.

Well, we're lucky we made it this far.

Let's check the town out.

Seven horses.

Ortega's men?

Oh, yeah, but I bet one of 'em is for me.

What's our next move?

Our horses!

How did they get loose?

If you call Ortega, he'll know you failed.

You know what that means.

Let's rest the horses.

Rest the horses? My butt's killin' me.

Whoa.

- Hey, Trivette? - Yeah?

How'd you and Walker hook up?

Walker heard about my incredible arrest record.

He begged the department to hire me on as his partner.

Really?

Ah, you know Walker. He never had a partner.

He's always worked alone.

My wonderful personality won him over.

Oh, really?

Gage, it took me weeks

just to get him to talk to me.

Walker? Come on, I don't believe that.

It's true. He's a tough nut to crack,

but my wonderful personality finally won him over.

Really?

Yes, really.

You know, Sydney, I've never asked you,

why'd you get into law enforcement?

Well...

most of the girls when I was growin' up

were busy playi" with their dolls

and playin' piano,

and I just liked to read crime novels.

And that's what made you become a Ranger?

Well, that's part of it.

When I was 12 my...

I've decided to allow you a little break,

give yourselves a chance to freshen up.

One at a time, of course.

Maria here will accompany you.

If you try anything, Miss Cahill here

will suffer for it.

I'm afraid I have some sad news.

Your Texas Ranger...

he's dead. He was killed in a shootout by my men.

Muy bravo, but dead nonetheless.

You're lying.

Well, it will probably become an international incident.

Very messy, but if he came here

without your government's permission...

well, let's just say

it won't be that great of a problem for me.

Hey. Hey.

You touch her one more time

and I'll rip your head off.

You talk like a man. Do you fight like one too?

Maybe you'll find out someday.

That is for having a smart mouth.

You'd better pray that that day doesn't come.

Entiendes?

Vamonos!

Sydney, are you all right?

Yeah.

I'm so sorry.

Okay, Rancho Santa Rosa's about three miles from here.

We'll water the horses there.

The next stop, Casa Diablo.

Let's go.

Walker.

So they did make it.

They're coming this way.

We'll get him, Paco.

Don't touch it.

Señor Ortega sent me to tend to you.

Oh, goodness.

I'm so sorry, señorita.

Gracias.

How did you come to work here?

Señor Ortega came to my village.

He saw me and he... He wanted me.

My father tried to stop him,

but Señor Ortega killed him.

They should've been here by now.

Let's go find them.

They're right behind us...

What's our next move?

Casa Diablo.

Que esta pasando? Paco should've checked in by now.

If Walker makes it that far, Paco will bring him in.

He better.

Cálmate. Paco's my best man. Don't worry.

Ah, Frank, amigo.

How was your flight?

I hate helicopters, but for you...

I appreciate the sacrifice.

Jack Palermo.

Good to see you again, señor. Happy to be here.

You remember Freddy and Bill? Of course.

I'm glad you could make it.

My men will show you to your quarters,

and tonight I promise you I will show you

true Mexican hospitality.

Me and the boys can move 100 tons a month,

but we gotta have product, compadre.

You'll have it.

Well, no disrespect, Cruz,

but a lot of your products have been ending up

in an evidence warehouse lately.

We've been left high and dry.

Well, now, it's just we ran into a rough patch

with the Texas Rangers, but that's been taken care of.

Frank, enough talk about business.

I got a Cubano with your name on it,

and some scotch that's older than Maria.

All right.

Ladies, we're having a celebration.

Guests from your country.

As you can see, the drug business is not all business.

And you two will be accompanying us.

You gotta be kiddin' me.

You know from past experience that I'm a very serious man.

When Paco brings Walker in,

we want you to look your best when my brother kills him.

I thought you said he was dead.

I lied.

You know, to keep things... interesting.

Now get dressed.

Maria will help you.

If you two try anything else,

things will go very badly for you.

Pepe, uncuff them.

I'm on it.

You mean, it's really true?

You're actually holding Alex Cahill?

It's a beautiful thing, no?

See, she arrested my brother, then I arrested her.

I hope you know what you're doing, man.

Frank, I always know what I'm doing.

It's your show, man.

Excuse me.

Miro?

And now, Frank, the moment you've waited for.

The lovely Maria.

Lovely.

Casa Diablo.

I just purchased another 4000 acres,

and I'm gonna build out over there at the stables,

and inside these stables are gonna house

the finest quarter-horse racers in the country.

Ramon wants to see you.

Let's go.

Join me.

Please.

You handle yourself like a man.

Do you drink like one?

I do.

Do you?

Salud.

After your Ranger is brought in

and I teach him his final lesson...

I'm gonna teach you a lesson of a different kind.

Go to hell.

Some people say we're already there, Miss Cahill.

Until later.

Cruz.

You seem a little preoccupied.

Is everything okay?

Nothing I can't handle, my friend.

It's just that one of my men hasn't checked in, that's all.

Keep cool.

Steady now. Come on.

Salud.

Salud.

Ha!

What do you think you're doing?

What does it look like?

And you're not.

That's the problem with my brother.

He doesn't know how to have a good time.

You're very clever, but remember,

tomorrow is another day.

Ah, look, you worry too much.

This Walker's probably already dead.

Have a drink.

Hey, you remember me? Jack Palermo?

'Cause, uh, I remember you.

I remember how you stood up in front of that jury,

told 'em all what a scumbag I was,

how I ought to be put away for some hard time.

You remember that?

Oh, I remember.

Yeah, but you were good.

Not good enough.

How do you figure that?

Because you're still a scumbag

and you're still walking around.

Oh, well, hey, you know,

you don't have to put on the tough act for me.

I mean, I know you're jammed up here,

but, uh, if you play your cards right,

maybe I can help you out, huh?

Of course, uh, nothin' in life is free.

Jack?

Jack, what the hell are you doin',

comin' onto a man's woman in his own home?

Shut your mouth, Frank.

I don't have to take that crap off of anybody.

I don't give a damn who the hell...

The party's over. Go home.

Put this gringo on ice.

Take the women to their quarters.

Double sentries tonight, huh?

Somebody put my brother to bed.

Let him sleep it off.

Hey, hey.

Hey, buddy.

No, no, no.

The party's over. What are you doin' out here?

This.

You look like hell, Ramon.

Very clever last night,

but the time for games is over.

You touch her, you're a dead man.

Oh, I intend to do more than touch her.

Walker's here.

Maria.

You killed him. You killed my brother.

Now you're gonna die, slowly.

First the leg...

I've been waiting a long time for this, Walker.

Not half as long as I have.

No!

Are you okay? Yeah.

Oh, Syd, I'm so glad you're all right.

Does that hurt?

Yeah, just a little bit.

You know, you could've gotten here a little sooner.

What?

Yeah, like before he cracked me in the back maybe?

Oh, well, I would've,

but I knew you were all dressed up

and I thought you might like to enjoy the party

for a while before I saved you.

You didn't save me. I saved you.

Maria, where are you gonna go from here?

Back to my village.

Hey, all right?

How we gettin' out of here?

Ortega's helicopter.

What? You still know how to fly those things?

Well, I'm not really sure. Uh, you wanna fly it?

No, no. No, no, no.

Well, it's better than walking home.
