Hey, can you believe C.D.?

What's with that guy taking off again?

I never get to see him.

C.D. never could pass up a good fishing trip.

Yeah, I guess it gives him and Murphy

a chance to catch up on old ranger stories, huh?

Yeah, it sure does.

Thank you.

Next.

Everybody down!

I'm sure you know what this is!

You do exactly what I say,

and I won't blow your head off, you understand!?

I wonder which one of them

is going to tell the tallest tale though?

I think C.D. will win that one.

Yeah. Yeah.

Let's go, boys!

Get out of the way!

All units, we have a code three.

211 at the Cow Town Bank and Trust at Tenth and Elm.

Be on the lookout for a black sedan.

That's about a mile from here.

Watch out!

This is Ranger Trivette.

We're in a high-speed pursuit of suspects going East on Maddox Avenue.

Move, move!

Freeze!

It's the Avenging Angel!

Ah, you're looking good!

Ha-ha!

Keep those lights on him, boys!

Come on!

Good boy.

That-a-way to go, Matt.

That's it.

Easy does it.

This will be

the wrestling event of the year.

Tonight's the night, partner.

Yeah.

You'd think you were the one getting in the ring tonight.

I know I'm pumped,

but it's a big deal for Matt, you know?

Or should I say the Avenging Angel.

Yeah, how does he feel?

He's as cool as a cucumber.

I talked to him this morning.

Says he's ready to go.

His first chance at the championship wrestling title.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah, me, too.

Matt said I could stop by the arena

and pick up the tickets

at his manager's office.

Might as well stop by there

on the way to ranger headquarters.

Yeah!

Way to go, Matt!

That was great, huh?

All right! Yeah!

The public is going to go crazy for it.

Hey, the safeties work okay?

They work great.

You've got to be careful, though.

A wrestler died doing this stunt.

I'll see you in the office.

All right.

Help me out of this thing, babe.

You look wonderful.

Hey, Eddie.

How you doing?

Great, until now.

Show some respect, Eddie.

Otherwise, I might forget you're a worn out old has-been.

That's better than a never-was.

What do you want, Cutter?

Broadcorp Industries

is getting into the wrestling business,

and they've agreed to partner up

with Galactic Wrestling.

Bring you into the fold, so to speak.

I like the fold I'm in right now.

I don't need a partner.

Eddie!

Just a minute, kids.

This never-was is just leaving.

I'm not leaving till we talk about this partnership.

Cutter, I'm going to tell you once,

and once only.

You turn around, walk out that door

and don't come back.

Do you know who you're dealing with here?

Frank Scanlon.

He's Broadcorp Industries,

and he don't take no for an answer.

Get out of here.

Hey, I believe Eddie told you to leave.

I'll leave when I'm ready.

You're ready now, big guy.

Come on.

This isn't over!

Nothing to worry about.

Everything's all right, kids.

Somebody's having a bad day.

Looks that way.

I'm sorry this had to happen.

Hey, Matt.

Wah!

Wait, wait! Matt!

Okay, enough!

My life just passed before my eyes.

Just the Avenging Angel getting into

character there, Jimmy.

You can't do that to my partner, okay?

Cordell Walker, this is Matt Escobar.

I've heard a lot about you.

Goes both ways; all-pro three years in a row.

Helped the Cowboys win the championships.

Now he's fighting for

the championship of the ring.

I want you guys to meet my very beautiful

and very pregnant wife. Carmen!

Oh, my gosh, it's a pleasure to finally meet you.

Nice to meet you. Good to meet you.

Hey, this is my manager, Eddie Ryan.

Hi, Eddie. A pleasure.

It's Terrible Eddie Ryan. That's right.

The Houston Strangler.

Walker, this is Eddie Ryan!

Do you remember when you fought The Mauler,

and then Jake the Giant jumped in the ring

and then you pinned them both at the same time?!

Man! This guy was great.

"Was" is right.

Trivette, Yeah?

We better get the tickets and get to work.

Oh, yeah, the tickets... Of course.

There you go.

Enjoy. Yeah.

Yeah, see you tonight.

I used to watch you when I was that big, man!

Okay.

Yup. So, take care of it.

Eddie Ryan cannot be bought.

Well, that's too bad.

For him.

I didn't realize you were going

to give us front row seats.

Man, if I would have known

you had connections with the rangers,

I'd have gone much easier on you

during today's workout, big man.

Easy on me? Oh, yeah.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Let's save it for the ring.

Eddie, you've met rangers Walker and Trivette.

This is Walker's wife, Alex.

How do you do? It's a pleasure.

And that's Eddie's granddaughter, Amy.

Hello.

When Eddie was wrestling,

he used to be known as the Houston Strangler.

One of the best heels in the business.

What's a heel? Wrestlers fans love to hate.

One, two, three!

Ladies and gentlemen!

This is your main event!

This championship match is scheduled for one fall.

It features one of your all-time favorites,

the king of cruelty, that prince of pain...

Mr. Death!

Boo!

Boo! Boo!

Obviously, he's the heel.

Who does your makeup?!

Now, ladies and gentlemen, if I could direct your attention

toward the heavens!

Fighting Mr. Death for the championship,

it's The Avenging Angel!

Angel! Woo!

Woo!

Yeah, buddy!

Matt!

He fell from up there.

We didn't know if he was part of the act...

Carmen, I'm so sorry.

He was like a son to me.

Blood.

Oh, Matt.

Come on, honey.

Of all the dumb, stupid tricks.

Why did I even think about it?

Grandpa, it wasn't your fault.

It was an accident.

Eddie.

I need a list of everyone who had access to the arena

in the last 24 hours.

A list? Why?

I don't think it was an accident.

What?

Matt's cable was cut.

You mean, he... he was murdered?

Looks that way.

Oh, my God.

Grandpa, you have to tell them

what's been going on.

What's going on?

Well,

this former wrestler came by and then, uh,

just before you and Trivette stopped in.

His name is Cutter.

Yeah, I think we saw him.

Yeah.

Well, this guy Cutter evidently went to work

for this no-good Frank Scanlon.

And he says that Scanlon wants to be my partner,

and he won't take no for an answer.

So I says, "Hey, come on. Get lost."

And with that, Cutter started making threats.

And that's when poor Matt threw him out.

Frank Scanlon, who's he?

He owns that... Uh, Broadcorp.

Broadcorp Industries, yeah.

Hey, he's the worst guy you'll ever meet.

Okay.

Thanks, Eddie, and I'm sorry about Matt.

Thank you.

Murdered.

Oh, my God.

Texas Rangers Walker and Trivette to see you, sir.

Send them up.

You can take the stairs.

Thanks.

Mr. Scanlon, we'd like to talk to you.

Stress management, rangers.

I'm sorry I can't get up.

That's fine.

Ma'am?

You need to leave.

So what can I do for you?

We hear you're trying to muscle in

on the wrestling business, Mr. Scanlon.

Muscle in?

That's pretty provocative language, isn't it, ranger?

We have a pretty provocative problem, Mr. Scanlon.

Does a man named Cutter work for ya?

Jerome Cutter, yes.

He's one of my employees,

in charge of our sports division.

In fact, Cutter is spearheading our merger

with Galactic Wrestling.

Well, the way we hear it they don't want to merge.

Well, Mr. Ryan

hasn't been able to visualize the bigger picture yet,

but I believe he'll eventually come around

to our way of thinking.

Where's Cutter?

Leave a card.

I'll get in touch with you soon as I hear from him.

All right.

This is just a little workout here

so why don't we leave all that Jackie Chan stuff

in the locker room today, okay?

What's the matter?

You afraid of me?

Afraid of you?

You said it.

No, actually you said it.

I merely repeated it.

Repeat this.

I love Jackie Chan.

Watch those nails there, Shorty.

Come on, Francis.

Boss, watch Shorty's left hook here.

Ohh.

Oh, no more cheeseburgers for Gage.

You know, Trivette,

I think they're gonna do just fine.

Come on, Francis.

I think you're right.

All right, everybody!

Listen up!

I want you to meet

Galactic Wrestling's new tag team!

The Fox and the Fury.

All right, that's it.

Go on back to work.

Flash here will show you around.

I'll be in my office.

Thanks, Eddie.

Look, kids, Eddie filled me in.

So don't worry; I'll cover

all your actions.

Thanks, and maybe I could borrow your arms too?

Aww, Eddie.

I heard what happened to The Avenging Angel,

and I had to come right over.

Bad things can happen to good people, huh?

You dirty...!

Relax, Eddie.

Join our team and accidents like the Angel's...

Well, they just won't happen anymore.

Sign the paper.

I can't believe this.

Can he really do it to us?

He already did.

Mr. Scanlon?

We just became partners

in the largest restaurant supply company in Dallas.

Congratulations.

Getting headaches again?

That depends on you, Cutter.

Well, I think we're close to an agreement

with Eddie Ryan.

Oh, that's good,

because we can't let him sign

that TV contract unless we're partnered with him.

I understand.

Did you take care of this ranger business?

Well, they've got nothing on me.

When I get uninvited law enforcement in my office,

I get stressed, Cutter.

I know, and I will take care of it.

Hi. Hi.

We're here to see Mr. Cutter.

Oh, well, there he is.

Mr. Cutter.

Yeah?

We've been trying to get a hold of you.

Didn't anybody tell you we needed to talk?

I've been busy.

So we hear.

What's your business with Eddie Ryan?

Broadcorp Industries

is getting into the wrestling game.

We think Eddie's got some valuable assets

that could be exploited to both our advantages.

You told Eddie that bad things happen to good people.

Then you pulled a knife on him.

Prove it.

We don't have to prove anything, Mr. Cutter.

We're here to tell you that if you go anywhere

near Eddie Ryan or his granddaughter again,

we're going to make your life very miserable.

You can't threaten me.

We just did.

Let's try some basic stuff.

Now you know how to do a flying suplex

with a layout in midair, right?

Uh... no. No. Mm-mm.

What about a leg squat into a body slam with a full twist?

I... I don't think so.

No.

All right, let's just try something real basic,

like a suplex.

Okay, who's first?

I'll go.

Uh, Syd,

why don't you let me handle this one, okay?

All right.

Oh, yeah, what? Do you want some of this?

All right.

Oh!

Gage?

How was that?

Looks like you're ready for lesson number two.

Get up.

"Blood sample you found

"on the catwalk at the arena

"is A-negative."

Now we got to find the body that goes with it.

These guys will take their star wrestler out.

What happened to your hand?

Ah, I nicked it

when I was cutting The Avenging Angel's fly wire.

What's taking them so long, Harley?

Probably just making sure they get the job done right.

Flash?

Flash, you okay?

Oh, my God, Flash.

Flash.

Easy does it.

Don't worry. We're gonna get you to a hospital, son.

Aw, hell.

I'm just a stupid fool.

Matt's dead, Flash is hurt,

and all because of me.

Grandpa, what are you saying?

I'm saying if I had signed with Scanlon,

none of this would have happened.

Maybe half of something

is better than all of nothing.

Do you really think Scanlon would let you keep half?

I don't know.

I just don't want anybody else to get hurt.

What about all the other wrestlers

that are counting on you to get a fair shake?

Do you really think Scanlon's

gonna give them one?

Mr. Ryan?

Yes.

Mr. Armstrong has suffered

a concussion and two broken ribs.

I have him sedated.

He'll wake up with a world-class headache,

but in a couple of weeks he'll be 100%.

Oh.

Thanks. Thanks, Doctor.

You're welcome. Thanks.

Bad boys flipped on the guy who hired 'em.

Harley Barnes.

Great.

I'll get the warrant.

♪ Where do you fly? ♪

♪ How can I know ♪

♪ With no good-byes ♪

♪ I watched you go. ♪

Ah, Matt.

Matt, you'll never know how much I miss you.

I guess God had a plan for you up there.

Uh...

Anyway, I've, I've got a big decision to make,

and I could sure use your help.

But... I just don't know which way to go.

Should I go with that rat Scanlon,

or, or should I stand up and keep fighting?

I reckon you've given me your answer, Matt.

Thank you.

And thank you, Lord.

Barnes!

Texas Rangers!

Open up!

Hold it!

Hop on.

Ah!

Wonder how this happened.

Let's check this blood,

see if it matches the blood at the lab.

You got it.

As far as I can tell,

you guys have got me on soliciting to commit an assault.

Wow. Scary.

You guys are good.

Real good.

You sure you don't want an attorney?

Hell, no.

What happened to your hand?

Wouldn't you like to know?

Actually, we do.

We found some blood at the scene.

We already have a DNA match.

We're booking you for the murder

of Matthew Escobar.

What's the matter?

Cat got your tongue?

Who hired you to kill Matt?

Get him out of here.

Call Gage and Sydney.

I want someone with Amy and Eddie at all times.

I don't know what happened to Harley.

I spoke to him last night, but he's

not answering his phone today.

I put you in charge of a solid operation.

And all I get is loose ends!

When am I gonna have Eddie Ryan's signature

on that contract?

I'm hoping by this afternoon.

Oh, you're hoping?

Here's what I want you to do.

Least you don't have to wear a bear suit.

Hey, what's going on here?

Vacation time or some...?

Where's Amy?

Dropped her off at the hospital.

She wanted to visit with Flash.

She said she'd catch a cab back.

Eddie, call Flash's room.

If Amy's there, tell her to stay there.

Carl, go with Eddie.

Don't let him out of your sight.

Come on. Let's go. You got it.

Taxi.

Get her!

Oh!

Amy, are you okay?

Yeah, thanks.

Get up.

Harley?

Oh, my mistake, Mr. Cutter.

Looks like Interrogation Room B is full.

Gonna have to use Interrogation Room C.

Go ahead, keep me here for days.

You're not getting anything out of me.

Never mind, Trivette.

Harley talked.

Harley talked.

What did he say?

He said that you hired him to cut the wire

that killed Matt Escobar.

Which makes you an accomplice to murder.

It's his word against mine.

What about the attempted kidnapping of Amy Ryan?

I was trying to bring her to the gym

for a meeting with her grandfather.

That's not what the other two men said.

And they're already cutting deals

with the DA's office.

Oh.

The attempted kidnapping will stand.

Okay.

All right, what do you guys want?

We want Scanlon.

Forget it.

I'll take my chances in court.

Fair enough.

If Cutter's too scared to testify,

this Scanlon must be dangerous.

Yeah, Trivette.

Hey, C.D.

What?

C.D., I can't understand what you're saying.

Well, don't you think

you should come home and see a doctor?

I'm just... I'm just asking.

All right, take care of your cold.

Have fun. Bye.

Says the fishing's so great,

he can't tear himself away.

But is he sick?

Yeah, he's got a cold.

Well, he better take care of it and get home.

I miss him.

I know.

He's missing out on all the excitement around here.

Scanlon and Broadcorp.

Speaking of Scanlon,

what are your thoughts on him?

I'm afraid without Cutter's testimony,

we don't have much of a chance.

What if we take him down

on multiple extortion charges?

For all the businesses

he forced himself into?

Yeah.

CEOs won't testify against Scanlon.

They're too scared.

Hmm.

I think I have an idea.

Let's get all the CEOs together.

I really appreciate all of you rearranging

your schedules so you could come in today.

I realize that, uh,

most of you don't know each other,

but you do have one thing in common.

I'm talking about Broadcorp Industries.

I thought I made it clear

that I-I'm going to have nothing

to say on that subject.

We understand that,

but we have two people here

who do have something to say.

Eddie Ryan and Carmen Escobar. Eddie?

Uh, I-I'm not very good at this kind of thing,

but I've got to tell you this.

I lost a dear friend.

He was like a son to me, and...

he was murdered.

He's dead because I got

a visit from some guy at Broadcorp Industries.

And he's dead because I kept my mouth shut

instead of going somewhere for help.

My husband...

The man they killed... he was...

He was innocent in all this.

He did not own some big company or run

a business.

But Scanlon needed an example.

And so now my baby has no father.

And like her,

we'd just like to have the chance

to make things right, and...

And that's what these rangers

are offering us.

We can't get Matt back,

but at least they can

make sure that this never happens again.

Nobody's asking you to go up against Scanlon alone.

We're just asking you to step forward.

You don't know this guy Scanlon.

We know he works through threats

and intimidation, sir.

And with your help, we will take him down.

Simmons and I worked our tails off

for ten years before we ever made a cent.

Then Scanlon threatened our families if we didn't

go along with him.

He threatened my family, too.

That's why we're here.

We assure you

that the police will protect you and your families.

How do we know that you'll be able

to protect us?

You have our word.

All right.

All right, Ranger Walker.

I'll testify against Scanlon.

So will I.

Heard enough?

I'll get the arrest warrants.

Carmen, Eddie.

I know that wasn't easy.

And thanks.

Now we have everything

we need to take Scanlon down.

Oh, boy, I'd just like to get my hands on him

for a minute.

Believe me, he's gonna get everything he deserves.

I hope so.

How's Flash doing?

He's getting out of the hospital right now.

Yeah, and he said

if we weren't there to pick him up,

he was gonna walk home.

Let's go.

Be careful, huh? Be careful.

What can I say?

I thank you.

Thank you, very, very much.

It's our pleasure.

Both of you. Yes, sir.

Take care.

You bet.

Well, shall we go get Scanlon?

You bet.

Mr. Scanlon, I just found out the rangers

had a meeting with the CEOs

of several of the companies that you... acquired.

What?

What the hell happened?

It appears they're gonna testify.

They wouldn't dare.

Looks like the rangers gave them the courage to.

They're promising them protection.

All right.

I'm getting out of town.

Right now?

I'll call you when I get settled.

Scanlon!

Texas Rangers. You're under arrest!

Oh!

Say goodnight.

Could you believe that?

That arraignment was like a feeding frenzy.

Harley turned on Cutter.

Cutter turned on Scanlon.

And with the CEOs testimonies,

the jury will definitely convict Scanlon.

I'm gonna ask for Murder One.

That's great.

Walker.

Oh, hi, Mr. Murphy.

Has C.D. worn out his welcome yet?

What?

Oh, God.

I understand.

Okay, um... we'll make the arrangements.

Firing position.

Ready?

Aim.

Fire!

Ready.

Aim. Fire.

Ready.

Aim.

Fire.
