Here's your cola, sir.

Will there be anything else?

No, thank you.

Enjoy.

Hope this Freddy character shows up soon.

Well, my informant, Chester, said he'd be here today.

Oh, listen, Syd, by the way, thanks for agreeing

to go to my class reunion with me tonight.

Oh, no, it'll be fun.

I just thought... Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure. Okay.

There's Freddy now... the little ferret.

Let's give him a second to get upstairs.

Ready? Mm-hmm.

All right.

Eh, Freddy, what'd you bring me today?

Whoa, hold it.

Where do you two think you're going?

I was going to use the men's room.

Slick, that' ain't the men's room.

Oh, good. It's the women's.

Hey!

Get out of here!

Sorry. Texas Rangers.

Hold 'em out front, okay?

Hey, Syd, Syd, Syd, where you going?

What...? We got a...

Well, I know, but I-I've got to go

if I'm going to get ready for your reunion.

Okay, now are you sure...?

Don't ask.

Hold on, Syd.

Oh, you've got to open it from the outside.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Okay, good. I'm going to fix that.

I'm going to get that fixed.

Sorry.

It's all right.

You know what, Syd?

I have to say, you look absolutely beautiful.

Really?

Yes, you do.

You look really handsome.

Thank you. Let's go.

You remember me.

How could I forget?

Your father did chase me around with a shotgun.

Sorry.

I never apologized for that.

That's all right.

Ted Moran.

Hi.

Hi. I'm Marilyn's fiancé.

Very nice to meet you.

I've heard a lot about you.

You, uh... came alone?

Oh, no, no.

Uh, Syd? Yeah?

Um... Ted, Marilyn, this is Sydney Cooke.

Hi. Hi. Nice to meet you.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

So, you two, uh, married?

To each other?

Excuse me. I mean... I mean no.

We just work together.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, well, Francis is a great guy

to have around.

In high school Francis and I

spent a lot of time together.

Did some, uh... crazy things.

Ted, honey, why don't you

dance with Sydney and Francis and I

will get caught up on old times?

That's a great idea. Yeah, sure.

Come on, Ted.

That's Francis Gage.

Yeah.

Sounds like they were pretty close at one time.

Yeah. Everyone still talks about him.

Now?

It's early.

I know.

Syd, what are you talking about?

Well, you heard me...

You made Ted jea... You made him jealous. Look.

Wow. I bet you they're going home.

You think they're leaving?

Yeah.

You know what, I'll go stop him

How's he doing?

Well, Ranger Gage

is alert and there are no major

external injuries, but...

well, the sound of that explosion

has damaged his hearing.

How serious is it?

Well, his eardrums

are ruptured and there's nerve damage.

In fact, at the moment he's totally deaf.

Well, go ahead.

Just type in anything you want to say.

Doctor, what are

his chances of hearing again?

Well, unfortunately, loss of hearing

due to acoustic trauma

can be difficult to rehabilitate.

Since the eardrums

are no longer intact, bacteria can enter

causing infection and scarring.

Is there anything you can do?

A steady course of antibiotics,

keep those ears clean and dry.

And then what?

We wait. We have to see whether

those eardrums can rehabilitate

on their own.

If not, I'll keep looking for options.

What about hearing aids?

Well, a loud explosion

can also result in severe tinnitus...

A ringing in the ears.

The use of any listening device is only

going to amplify that ringing.

Can you guys hear me?

He can't hear his own voice.

He's going to need your reassurance.

How's Marilyn and Ted?

Gage...

did you see the killer?

Yes.

Can you describe him?

I think so.

I'll get the description, Walker.

Okay.

Bye, sweetie.

Describe his eyes.

Deep... hollow...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right, what... what else?

Um...

Sharp bones.

And he had a thin-lipped smile.

Kind of like that.

His hair?

Short, dark. Uh... bottom left, I guess.

Yeah, hair like that.

Yeah.

We'll find him.

Okay.

Well, we've got a face.

But no name.

Bad news.

We, uh, found the abandoned vehicle

the thieves arrived in.

But there were no traceable fingerprints.

They were probably pros.

Whoever they were, they made a big mistake.

They killed two people, and now they're wanted

for capital murder along with carjacking.

Can't ease up on these guys.

Okay, Trivette, let's get the sketch on the streets.

See if we can come up with anything.

Walker, if you don't mind, I'd like to go check on Gage.

Okay.

Hey, Walker and Trivette... My two favorite rangers.

Hey, Lorenzo.

You selling stolen cars again?

That was the old Lorenzo.

New Lorenzo is squeaky clean.

Boy, have I got a deal for you.

This slightly used, almost new sports car.

Drives like lightning.

Help you catch those bad guys.

You recognize this guy?

No.

He's a high-tech car thief.

He steals luxury cars and kills people.

Two of them.

So he's a real bad ride for anybody

doing business with him.

Yeah, well, like I said, I... I don't do that anymore.

Well, Lorenzo, I'm sure you'd know

of someone who would.

Look, Rangers,

there's this guy named Flicks.

He's got a new chop shop

next to the rail yard.

You can talk to him.

What's he look like?

You can't miss him.

He's the fattest guy I've ever seen.

Okay, Lorenzo... stay straight.

You got it.

Where are you goin'?

Back off. We're just here to talk to Flicks.

You're not gonna talk to anybody.

Oh, man.

Flicks, get back here!

What, you think you were gonna run from us?

This is a speech-recognition computer;

an iCommunicator.

You just speak into the microphone there,

and Ranger Gage will be able to read what you say.

You mean right here, like this?

That's right. It translates

simple speech into written text.

Well, this should help a lot.

All right, I'm ready.

Ranger Gage, I wish you'd reconsider.

We could get you into an out-patient program where they teach

lip reading and sign language.

Nah, none of that stuff's for me. I'm going to wait

for you right outside. Okay.

Thank you. You know, hearing

is the hardest of the five senses to lose,

even if it's temporary.

The newly deaf often underestimate

their handicap and place themselves in danger.

I'll make sure that doesn't happen.

You're going to have to remember.

Although Ranger Gage looks the same,

his life is very different now.

Thank you, Doctor.

Hey, Syd...

before we go home, there's someplace I want to go.

Okay.

I'm so sorry, Marilyn.

I wish that I could have gotten there in time.

Look at this.

Says here he lost his hearing.

Word on the street is he's the only one

that can I.D. you. Those rangers

have been showing your sketch around.

Fine.

They may have a sketch of me, but I got a photo of him.

Let's, uh...

make our deaf ranger a dead ranger, huh?

Brings it to Shaw.

Shaw back to Becker in the corner.

Looks for his second three of the game.

Didn't get it.

The rebound is to Jones...

off the dribble that time,

but he forgot to take the ball with him...

Gage?

Syd? Hi.

What're you doing here?

Well, I... Oh.

Uh... thank you.

Gage?

Gage?

I'm... I am fine.

Are you all right? I'm fine, yeah.

Well, what...? Uh... Slipped. I-I'm fine.

Okay, here you go.

You know, your apartment... Thank you.

You're welcome.

I was just going to s...

You know, your apartment looks very clean.

I have nothing to do.

Good?

Uh, so how-how's the case going?

Did-did you find the killers?

No.

So that guy doesn't look familiar to you?

Yeah, he looks a little like my cardiologist.

Then we got a piece of information

that's going to give you a heart attack, pal.

Take a look.

Over a dozen cars from your garage

were reported stolen.

Auto theft, assaulting officers, evading arrest.

Looks like you're going to be spending quite a few years

in the state pen...

pressing license plates.

Empty threats.

I got friends in high places.

Yeah, we know your friends.

We're onto them, too.

When we arrest your friends for buying your stolen property...

Your new Porsches, your Lamborghinis...

I don't think they're going to be

your friends anymore. What do you think?

Look, I don't know who this is.

Then what do you know?

I've worked on a lot of luxury cars lately,

rubbing off the, the VINs and-and repainting them.

Who are you working for?

I have no idea.

Look, I get paid.

I don't ask any questions.

An unmarked 18-wheeler shows up at my shop,

hauls off a batch of cars about five hours ago.

This guy wasn't there.

Who was?

I don't know.

Just two drivers.

They spoke only Spanish.

They heading south?

I don't know.

They said something about Mexico.

But that's all I know, honest.

You know, if they're taking the cars to Mexico,

there are several roads that lead in that direction.

DPS might not get there in time.

Yeah, but there's only three border checkpoints

going into Mexico from Dallas.

Which one you think they'll take?

My guess is station six.

It's the least traveled.

Let's take a chopper.

All right, you know, I'll call for the chopper

and alert Border Patrol.

We'll be there shortly.

Okay, thank you.

Gage!

Oh, hey.

How did you get here?

Uh, uh... very delicately.

Where's Walker and Trivette?

Well, they, they got a lead on the stolen vehicles.

Well, let's go. Let's give...

No, no, no, no. They took a chopper,

so there's nothing we can do.

All right?

Just... sit down.

Come on.

Border Ranger Six, this is Ranger Trivette.

The 18-wheeler with the stolen vehicles

is on its way.

Border Ranger chopper will be there in a moment.

It's the cops! Vamos!

We got to run right through them!

He's not stopping.

Gage. Gage.

You better eat.

Come on, you've got to eat something.

You got to.

You... if you don't eat,

you know what's gonna happen to you?

I'm eating.

You're a goof.

Syd.

Yeah.

Okay.

Thanks.

They found the cars.

But not the leaders.

Look, Gage.

I know this is really hard for you.

How do you know, Syd?

How do you know?

Does your head throb right now

'cause your ears are ringing so loud?

Huh? Are all your colleagues

treating you like a five-year-old?

How do you know, Syd?!

Syd, I'm sorry.

You've been wonderful to me.

Well... we questioned the drivers.

They're both from Chihuahua, Mexico,

and apparently, about a month ago,

two guys came down and offered them $100 per car

to come up to the States and drive the vehicles

back across the border.

100 bucks.

It's a fortune for people that poor. Yeah.

They also said that the guys who hired them

were the Devils.

They kept going on and on about

los Diablos, los Diablos.

Los Diablos.

There used to be a gang in Dallas called the Los Diablos.

Mm-hmm, they trafficked stolen auto parts

across the border.

I thought they were long gone, though, I thought we busted 'em.

Yeah, well, let's see if they've come back.

Ranger Gage.

It's not good, is it?

The nerve damage is still there,

and the eardrums haven't healed.

In fact, they've continued to scar badly.

You said there was other options.

Well, the injury's so severe

that a conventional cochlear implant won't work.

However, there is an experimental graft operation,

but the chance of success is very small.

I'll do it.

All right, but on one condition.

You check out the Dallas

School For the Deaf first.

It's cheery.

Cheery?

No. No. I'm fine.

Rangers? Hi. I'm Sydney Cooke,

and this is my partner, Ranger Gage. Hi.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Dr. Clark told me that you were coming.

Let me give you a tour.

Great.

Thank you.

Oh. Here's Miss Hamilton.

Hi, boys and girls.

This is Ranger Cooke, and this is Ranger Gage.

He recently lost his hearing.

Yes, Billy.

Billy wants to know are you a real,

honest-to-goodness Texas Ranger?

Tell Billy we're both real Texas Rangers,

and here's my proof.

Oh, let me show you how to sign that.

"Proof."

That's easy. Proof.

Proof. Ow.

I can't do this.

first by learning to accept it.

I can't get to him.

Well...

I guess you're just gonna have to kill

both of 'em, huh?

Thank you all for helping.

It's our pleasure.

Ranger Gage is an excellent student.

Aw... got a good partner.

Ooh, and your lip reading

has come a long way.

Thank you.

Especially when it comes

to understanding compliments.

So, Gage... what are your plans?

Uh, get back to work.

Well, we are all sad to see you go.

You have all been an inspiration to me.

I... must leave.

I'll miss you, too.

Hey, how about a double double cheeseburger

and a Super-Sized fry?

Jalapeño burger.

Hey, chocolate shake?

Syd!

You okay? Yeah.

Come on!

Yeah, Walker, we're fine.

I'll just have a DPD officer bring us in.

All right. Bye.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You know, Walker was saying

that sometimes when you lose one sense,

that all the other senses

pick up the slack.

I guess maybe that's what happened.

It's a good thing. Hmm...

Hey, Walker, come take a look at this.

This is weird.

What is it?

Most of the big-shots

in the Los Diablos gang

died in the last few years

under mysterious circumstances.

Look. Car crashes, disappearances, fires.

Are any of 'em alive?

Yeah, I located one.

Name is Drago.

He's in a federal penitentiary.

Let's go talk to him.

Pass it down, homey.

You Drago?

Yeah.

Come here.

You know this guy?

Well, well, well.

I sure do. That's the perro that put me in here.

Care to elaborate? Yeah. Hell, yeah.

That's Raul Hidalgo.

Goes by "Skull."

If I had that fool in front of me right now,

I'd rip his heart out.

Must've had some kind of falling out.

Yeah, you could say that.

He wanted me

and my crew to start pushing drugs to kids

in the neighborhood, but we didn't want to.

Next thing you know, all the vatos loyal to me are gone

and he rats me out.

Hope you vatos get that fool.

So they're shipping luxury cars to Mexico

in exchange for cocaine.

Looks that way.

Let me see your cell phone.

Company B, Texas Rangers.

This is Sydney Cooke.

Sydney, get me everything you can

on a Raul Hidalgo.

H-I-D-A-L-G-O, AKA Skull.

I gave you a simple assignment, Rio.

You losing your touch?

No.

So, what do you want to do?

Well... I guess I gotta take care

of our deaf Ranger friend myself.

You go to the warehouse and take care

of getting those cars out.

And Rio... no more mistakes.

That's him That's him?

That's him.

Walker.

Walker, it's Sydney.

What have you got?

Hidalgo's record reads

like a criminal's greatest-hits list.

Auto theft at 15.

Armed robbery at 19.

Possession, you name it.

He was in prison a year ago, but when he got out,

he disappeared.

Any idea where he is?

According to the prison phone logs, he made

several calls to an old warehouse on B Street

just before he got out.

Okay. Meet us there.

Right. And Walker, um... Gage is here, too.

Tell him to stay put.

All right.

Um... I have to go meet

Walker and Trivette. All right?

But, uh... but he said for you to...

stay here.

Okay?

Yeah, I-I'll be fine.

Let's go.

I need these cars ready in ten minutes

Come on. What's taking so long?

Come on, come on!

What are you doing in there, huh?

Texas Rangers!

All right, don't move.

Hey, hey, hey!

Hidalgo's not here.

Where's Skull?

Why don't you ask your deaf ranger?

Gage.

Meet Skull.

Ah.

Well, Ranger Gage's operation is complete.

How did it go?

Well, as I said, it was a risky

procedure at best,

and I'm afraid we won't know whether

it's successful until he wakes up.

Thank you, Doctor.

You're welcome.

You know, Gage...

there's some things I wish I would've told you...

when you could actually hear me say them.

I love your voice.

I just... I just love the sound of your voice.

And every morning when I wake up, I can't...

I can't wait to hear it.

And every night... when I go to sleep...

I wish you were there.

I can't believe I never told you that.

I can't believe...

the big holes you have in your socks.

These are my favorite socks, Syd.

What are you talking about?

Did you hear me?

Loud and clear.

Oh, my God, you can hear?

It's good to hear your voice.

I can't believe it.

I can't believe it!

You can hear me. You can really hear me.

I gotta t... Walker!

Walker! Gage can hear.

He can hear.

Hey... hey, wait a minute.

How-how, how long have you been hearing? I mean,

did you hear, you know, um, Gage... Hey.

Talk to me.

Oh, my God.

- Oh... - Hey, bud.

Hey, boss.

Gage, did you...?

Gage! Hey.

Gage... how-how-how long...?

Remember, you owe me money.

What-what?

Oh, he can't hear anymore.

So how long? Like, like,

from what, when you came out of the thing or just...?

Not long, Syd. Why?

Why do you ask?
