Original subtitles

With two away, Lieutenant Shell's

on the mound for the Lions, and Ranger Gage

at the plate for the Broncos.

Come on, here we go.

All right, come on, Shell.

You're out!

There goes the bottom of the eighth inning,

the Sage City Police Department Lions

lead the Texas Rangers'

B Company Broncos 5 to 2.

Does he snore?

No.

Has he ever served you breakfast in bed?

Yes.

Hmm.

Any little Walkers on the way?

Kristy.

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...

it's as nice as I thought it would be.

Actually, it's even better.

I can only imagine.

Leading off for Sage City, Officer Rogers.

My grandmother could have hit that!

Now batting for the Lions, Officer Cooper.

Lieutenant Shell on deck.

Strike!

Strike two!

Come on, Cooper.

Get with the program.

Now come on! Focus!

Come on, now!

Strike three!

You're out!

Cooper takes strike three first out.

What's with you today?

Nothing, sir.

Get your head in the game.

Yes, sir.

Lieutenant Shell at the plate.

Baker come back yet?

Yep, he just went to his rig for a beer.

Got one for Moody, too.

I think we're making a mistake, Coop.

You want out?

Now's your chance.

But I'm gonna bust these bad cops.

No, I'll go along with you.

Strike two!

Hey, Ranger baby.

Coming right at ya.

Give it your best shot.

You're out!

Hah!

A sensational double play for the Rangers!

Maybe you ought to take up golf.

After eight innings of play,

the score is still 5-2 Lions.

Good job, good job, good job.

Come on, guys! Let's get the job done. Come on, now!

Lieutenant Shell.

Do you have a moment

to talk about the Smokey Cole bust?

You know only Captain Ryder speaks for the ZTU.

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, 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 ZTU took out Smokey Cole

and confiscated a mountain of cocaine.

Third major drug ring to fall this month.

What's the ZTU?

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 six 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.

Bases are loaded as Ranger Walker steps to the plate.

All right, Walker, what do you say now? Come on!

Big hit, boss.

Walker, Walker, Walker! Let's go!

Give me a run, come on!

Little hit, little hit, boss.

Come on, Walker!

Big hit! Come on, boss.

Woo-hoo!

That's a big hit!

Grand Slam home for Ranger Walker!

The Broncos take the lead 6 to 5!

And that's the game, folks!

The Texas Rangers... Yeah, buddy.

You guys are pretty good.

Obviously not good enough.

See you at the 10-7 tonight? You bet. You bet.

Hey. Good game.

Hey. Whoa.

Pretty good for a girl.

Okay.

Good game, Ranger Walker.

Thanks, Cooper.

You know,

my future goal is to become a Texas Ranger.

Well, that's a good goal.

I hope you make it. I'll see you tonight.

But actually, I'd really like that but I made previous plans.

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.

d In the eyes of a ranger d

d The unsuspecting stranger d

d Had better know the truth d

d Of wrong from right d

d 'Cause the eyes of the ranger d

d Are upon you d

d Any wrong you do he's gonna see d

d When you're in Texas look behind you d

d 'Cause that's where the ranger's gonna be d

All hail the flip

to second base that starts the double play

that puts your butts on ice, gentlemen.

Here, here!

This, uh... wait a minute.

This had nothing to do with this lady, who jumped

ten 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 Kristy'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?

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 is just getting started.

Well, have a good time.

Old folks need their rest.

I didn't say anything about being tired. Are you tired?

Not one bit.

Aw.

Good night.

Guys, oh, please. Come on.

Where's your partner?

Why?

The way he acted during the game,

I thought maybe he's sick or something.

He's fine, sir.

Captain Ryder's on the tube.

Before we give the Captain

the third degree, let's review

yesterday's big drug bust at Hender's farm.

The raid was conducted

by the 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 three 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 heroes.

They are the men you should be talking to.

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?

Sorry. I don't do nightmares.

You don't want to do this.

Oh, but I do.

Oh!

No, you don't.

You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, she likes you, all right.

Let's get out of here.

So are we gonna talk about it, or what?

Talk about what?

Syd, you kissed me, come on.

No, 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.

Why don't you let me see if I can tell the difference.

You want me to kiss you?

That's your call.

There's your kiss.

That wasn't funny, Syd.

Come on. Come on.

That wasn't funny, Syd.

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 got to be, sir.

Whose locker is it?

That's Glenn 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 three days.

You can get a judge to waive I-4s

simply by filing a writ of impetus 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...

He probably slipped it out of an evidence bag,

stashed it at the farm and went back to get it later.

Why would he bring it in here?

Well, I never met a smart doper, Captain.

Everything we worked for is about to go out the window.

Want me to bring him in, sir?

Yeah.

Moody, Rogers, let's go get him.

He said you would be here at 9:00.

Okay.

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've been set up!

Get him, Rogers.

We can't let Cooper get away.

Right.

All right.

Let's move.

Whoa! Look out!

Hey!

Look out!

Watch it!

Trivette, I'm picking Alex up right now.

I'll see you in about 20 minutes.

Okay.

I need to see the DA.

What's happening?

Oh, my God. Kristy!

What's going on?

Cooper resisted arrest. Tried to kill us.

Hold it.

Stop firing.

Alex!

Walker!

You okay?

Yes, but Kristy'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, well, 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.

Come on, let's go, let's go!

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.

Chased him here, sir.

Cornered him in the D.A.'s office.

When we went to take him down, Ranger Walker stopped us.

Walker?

Took Baker's gun away.

Hostages?

About five.

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.

Okay, Ranger Walker.

Walker.

Walker.

Don't move.

Okay, put your hand right here.

Here.

Hold it tight.

Hold it tight.

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.

The paramedics are on their way in.

Help's on the way, Kristy.

Thanks, Walker.

And good luck.

Over here.

We're gonna move you now, okay?

Okay. And up.

You're going to be all right, ma'am.

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, two years on the force,

he's already assigned to an elite unit.

Bright future ahead.

Then he steals two 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?

Yeah, 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 a shot and don't take it,

then Cooper winds up shooting someone,

or all of them,

how do I explain that, Ranger Trivette?

If you want to help,

convince Walker to come out

so I can send in a negotiator.

Captain, you're not gonna find a better negotiator than Walker.

Cooper, I want to come in.

Only with your hands up and unarmed.

Turn around.

Slowly.

Okay.

What do you want, Ranger Walker?

The truth.

Did you steal two kilos of cocaine?

No, sir.

They set me up.

And now they're gonna 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.

But 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.

Okay.

Cooper seemed like a decent guy.

Yeah, I never would have 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.

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?

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.

Don't worry, Mr. Winslow.

You ready? Take positions. Go.

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.

Will you stop?

Just stop crying.

Please, you'll be okay.

I need to answer that.

If you give me your word

that you won't try anything funny.

You have my word.

Okay.

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.

He 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! Somebody please help us!

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.

I think I hit him.

Was it a kill shot?

No.

End this situation.

Yes, sir.

What is it, Trivette?

SWAT team's coming right to you.

Tell Ryder to call it off.

Everything is 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.

That's not a bad place for it to be.

Sir.

Come on, Smokey.

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.

Come on, now.

Here, why don't you put a little pressure on that?

He'll be okay.

Thank you.

I'm so sorry, Mr. Cooper.

It's okay, Miss.

How do you know

they took 300 kilos from the bust?

I saw them do it, sir.

Last night, I saw them

come back and pick it up.

It was like a victory party.

From what I gathered, it wasn't the first.

As soon as I realized 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'd staked out Hender's barn

for two 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?

I took pictures.

I got them developed at an all-night

one-hour photo joint on Dakota.

We have to get these to IA.

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.

A-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...

and, and killed Simms.

Do you think Lieutenant Shell's involved in this?

It's hard for me to believe, sir.

Maybe he told someone in IA

and that leaked out,

or-or-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 three busts,

and every kilo is still here.

So, the two kilos they found in Cooper's possession

didn't come out of here.

We spoke to Cole and the other two dealers

busted by the ZTU.

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?

No, not at all.

Here you go.

Yup, look at this.

It says here the three busts

netted 2,000 kilos of cocaine.

Glad it's off the street.

The dealers said they lost three.

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 lockup.

That seems highly unlikely.

Then why is it already on the street?

Gage is pretty sure

a ton of coke was taken from the recent bust.

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.

Okay, tell Gage and Sydney

to go to the Third Street Library.

What's at the Third Street Library?

Pictures.

You can all leave.

All right.

Alex, I want you to leave, too.

I leave when you leave.

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 Hender'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 ten,

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 would 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.

I'm telling you, Chick,

if those cops cave on us,

we don't want to get caught holding the bag, man.

Okay.

Time to cut our losses.

Let's hold a fire sale and dump all the cocaine.

I'll take care of it.

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.

Captain, did you hear?

Hear what?

Texas Rangers are interrogating Baker, Moody

and Rogers.

What for?

Hey, I don't know. Aah.

Go see what this is all about.

Yes, Captain.

It seems pretty cut and dry to me.

Yeah. Thanks.

Thank you.

Okay, we talked to your partners.

It's amazing what happens when you get

caught with your pants down.

Yup. We showed them

the photos, and all they want to 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.

It was my idea?

Yup.

Yeah.

Fine.

You want to know what happened?

I'll tell you everything.

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?

Why the Sheriff?

Some men in your unit may still be dirty.

He wants to make sure Cooper's safe until

this is all sorted out.

Trivette?

Baker boys are in Sheriff's lockup.

Here's Exhibit A.

Captain.

Watch his arm.

Guys, guys, I'm gonna get... get this shot.

Look, I've... I've got to write this...

Man. Hey, hey. Hey, do you know who you're pushing?

I'm gonna go call the hospital and see how Kristy's doing.

Okay.

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 ten 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.

ZTU command, come in.

Lieutenant Shell, what's your 20?

We got any unit out there

with a 20 on Lieutenant Shell, please respond.

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 until we get there.

Yes, sir.

Take down Chick Winslow. You got it.

Is that your unit?

Right over here.

I just talked to the hospital.

District Attorney Clark is going to be just fine.

That's good news.

Yeah. How are you doing?

Oh, 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.

Freeze! State Police!

Let's go!

Lieutenant Shell!

Come out with your hands in the air!

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's 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.

Do 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...

d 'Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you d

d Any wrong you do he's gonna see d

d When you're in Texas look behind you d

d 'Cause that's where the ranger's gonna be. d
