The FBI is ready to crack.

When?

Any minute now.

And not just any senator, Walker.

Angela Rhodes heads up

the Subcommittee for Crime and Racketeering.

Sounds like you're a little nervous.

Well, yes.

I mean, I'm going to meet her today, and I just...

I want to be prepared.

I want to think about what I want to say.

Like what?

I don't know. You want to help me?

Alex, talking to politicians is not my forte,

and you know that.

I know.

Silly idea.

What would you say if you were about to meet

a woman or a person that you really admired?

Well, I would say...

"Hi. Nice to meet you."

But on the other hand, if I met a...

special young lady...

that I admire, I might say,

"What luscious lips you have."

Okay, I can breathe now.

Got 'em.

Bring the clients online.

Gentlemen, thank you for agreeing to meet me.

Who are you?

Well, you can call me

the Chairman, Mr. LaForge.

Chairman?

What kind of name is that?

It's the name of somebody that's gonna

make you an offer you can't refuse.

Well, who do you think you are, the Godfather?

No. No, Mr. Cardoza, I don't.

I'm someone who can

give you the opportunity of ridding yourself

of the one thing that's been preventing you

from reaching your maximum business potential.

Narcs, rats, undercover agents.

I can give you full protection from every federal agency

there is.

The FBI, the DEA,

U.S. Marshals, DIA, all of them.

I can find each and every one of them in your operation,

rid you of them, and all for the nominal cost

of $15 million a year.

Now, gentlemen, that is such a small price to pay

for peace of mind.

And avoiding

the possibility of prison time.

Now, why should we believe you?

Yeah, we can't see you,

we don't know where you are.

You could be with the FBI.

Maybe.

Allow me a demonstration, gentlemen.

Mr. Jackson, the man sitting to your right.

You know him as Brent O'Shea.

He's a trusted lieutenant of yours, is he not?

Yeah.

Did you know that his real name is Jeb Lawson,

and he's with the FBI?

And I'd be very surprised if Agent Lawson

isn't wearing a wire.

Check him.

Why you dirty, rotten...

Get him out of here.

I'm in, Mr. Chairman. You convinced me.

Well, maybe your little service

works for these guys, but not for me.

I take care of my own backyard.

Really, Mr. Cardoza?

Did you know that

today Senator Angela Rhodes

of the Senate Subcommittee on Crime and Racketeering

is meeting with the Texas officials on how to stop you?

Yeah, I already know about that.

Looks like there's nothing you can do for me, so, uh...

excuse me, gentlemen.

I've got more important things to do.

He didn't know.

You feel it's really that serious, Senator Rhodes?

The war on crime

is not one we can afford to lose.

But now Dallas has become the home to the nation's

top crime organization.

Headed up by Alberto Cardoza.

Cardoza's operations span from drugs to prostitution,

murder and everything in between.

I want you to kill them all,

starting with that damn senator.

Got me?

Where are the boys going, Alberto?

Just a little target practice,

nothing to worry about.

So, do you have it?

Hey, talking to the master.

So who do I contact

with this anonymous tip?

Well, it's Texas, right?

Give it to the rangers.

What's going on with your computer?

It's my alert program.

Like a ranger 911.

What does it say?

It's an anonymous tip about Cardoza.

Alberto Cardoza?

Yeah, it says he's planning to...

eliminate Senator Rhodes

at her meeting this afternoon at 2:00.

That's 20 minutes from now.

Isn't Alex there?

She's not answering. Let's go.

Call for a chopper.

This is a blueprint

for a joint operation between the FBI, DEA

and the Texas law enforcement.

With it, I believe that

we can gather enough evidence against Mr. Cardoza

to bring him to justice, but to achieve this,

we must work together.

Come on. Move, guys!

Now, now, now, go!

As our founding fathers

said long ago, "United, we stand.

Divided, we fa..."

What is it?!

Against the wall!

♪ In the eyes of a ranger ♪

♪ The unsuspecting stranger ♪

♪ Of wrong from right ♪

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

♪ Any wrong you do he's going to see ♪

♪ When you're in Texas, look behind you ♪

Go.

You're first, Senator.

Senator, I'd like you to meet my husband.

This is Ranger Cordell Walker.

Senator.

You made quite an entrance, Ranger Walker.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

And here the Texas Rangers' daring rescue

saved several Texas politicians...

And U.S. Senator Angela Rhodes... From what seems to be

a massive assassination attempt.

Now, initial reports would suggest

the would-be killers

are associates of the Cardoza crime syndicate.

Bring them up, Wizard.

Gentlemen... as you can see,

I can either help you, or I can hurt you.

You're either with me, or you're against me.

Now, Mr. Redman, are you with me?

All right... I'm in.

Mr. LaForge.

Uh, yeah.

Yes.

Mr. Chen?

I don't like being threatened.

Well, it's not personal, Mr. Chen,

it's just business.

What's it gonna be?

That's the spirit.

Thank you.

Walker...

we worked all night long on those guys you busted.

None of them are talking.

But we did manage

to do background checks on them.

All freelance guys.

Contract killers.

And some of them are known

to hang out at the Pappas Brothers.

You two go check it out.

Right.

FBI Agent David Woods,

in the Redman crime family.

ATF Agent

Melinda Marose, in the Chen organization.

And FBI Agent Larry Wagner, undercover with LaForge.

Ha-ha.

We'll let their money clear our accounts.

Then we'll clean house for them.

Fancy-fancy.

Yeah, you think we're dressed okay?

Let's go find out.

This club's members only.

No cops allowed.

No cops?

Isn't that discrimination?

No, civil rights.

Like the right to bear arms.

Oh, I see.

The Second Amendment.

What about the Sixth Amendment?

What's the Sixth Amendm...?

Fast judgment.

All right, guys.

He's got a permit.

Give him his gun back.

Are you done with your little civics class,

'cause I'm in the middle of lunch here.

Yeah. We just wanted you to know we got

a couple of your boys in custody, that's all.

My boys?

You couldn't take down my boys on your best day.

Sounds like a threat.

We just might have to take you up on that.

You don't want to mess with me, Ranger.

Oh, but we do.

And we're gonna.

Buh-bye.

What are you going to do about him, Alberto?

Don't you worry your pretty little head.

Hmm...

Oh, this is wonderful.

Well, it only took me a minute

after I got past that last firewall.

Get me Cardoza.

Mr. Cardoza, telephone.

Give me a minute, baby.

Yeah?

Mr. Cardoza, how are you?

What do you want?

Well, I thought you might want

to reconsider my offer.

And I thought I told you I take care

of my own backyard.

The way you took care of the Senator today?

Go to hell.

Well, I can't really do that.

You see, if I did that,

who would look after that mole in your operation?

What mole?

Somebody very close to you.

Who?

I'd love to tell you, but you see,

it wouldn't be fair

to all the other organizations

who are already paying me.

I don't believe you.

Okay. But if you reconsider, you know the web page.

Oh, and Mr. Cardoza,

I hope the rangers weren't too hard on you today.

How did you know?

I know everything.

Sir, I've got Redman online.

Oh, yeah; bring him up.

Mr. Redman, good evening.

So far.

Mm-hmm.

Bring up the picture.

Do you know who this man is?

Sure, Marco.

One of my top boys.

No, actually, his name is

Agent David Woods, and he's one of the FBI's top boys.

It can't be.

Oh, he can and is.

But not to worry,

we'll take care of him for you.

You see, that's part of our operation

is to keep your hands clean.

Good-bye.

Lazarus.

You know what to do.

No, Mr. LaForge.

The man's real identity

is Agent Larry Wagner.

Mr. Chen, do you know who this person is?

Not to worry,

Mr. Jackson, we're a full-service operation.

There'll be no extra charge for that.

Lazarus reports missions accomplished.

Excellent.

What did we ever do before computers?

Walker, Sydney, Gage, this is Eric Chapin.

He's from the DEA office in Dallas.

Hi. Hi. How you doing?

Pleasure to meet you, Walker.

Likewise.

What's up?

We understand you're trying to connect Alberto Cardoza

to the attack on Senator Rhodes last week.

How's that going?

Nothing yet. Why?

Well, we've just gotten word from Washington

that some of our agents might be in jeopardy.

In jeopardy how?

I can't say right now.

What I can say is we're doing everything we can

to keep the agents who are still

undercover safe.

What can we do for you?

We've been informed Cardoza's distributing meth

out of a bar over by Love Field.

Supposedly, it's like a supermarket

in there.

We'd like you to take it down.

Why us?

'Cause we can't risk blowing the cover

of an agent we have

deep in Cardoza's organization.

So, if it's a ranger bust, Cardoza may not get suspicious.

That's the idea.

And if we get lucky, one of the perps

you arrest just might

tie Cardoza to the Rhodes attack.

What's the name of the bar?

The Under Siege.

Gage, Sydney...

take some rangers and shut it down.

Okay.

Thanks, Walker.

You bet.

To conclude, Senators,

the ATF has lost five undercover agents,

the DEA, seven,

the Marshall's Office has lost three

and we at the FBI

have had ten undercover agents killed.

25 government agents

exposed and killed in ten days?

How could a thing like that have happened?

Somehow, someone hacked into our mainframe

and started pulling out files.

I thought your systems were supposed to be secure.

So did we.

I'm sure that my constituents will sleep better knowing that.

You think all the agents have been compromised?

We don't know.

How many agents are still in the field?

Over 100, Senator.

What about state agencies?

Excuse me?

Troopers, rangers, police.

They have not been compromised,

as far as we know. Hmm.

Then let's establish a task force

exclusively of state peace officers.

And I think I know just the man

to head it up, too.

Who?

A Texas Ranger, name of Walker.

A ranger?

You mean to say

that you want our task force

led by some law enforcement hick?

Do you have somebody better in mind,

Senator? Actually, I do.

A fella by the name of Vincent Rosetti.

And who's he?

An NYPD sergeant.

20 years on the force.

The best arrest record in the northeast,

and I assure you,

he is far more qualified than your Texas cowboy.

Well, then, let's just see if he is.

Pull the file on both Ranger Walker

and Sergeant Rosetti, please.

We'll take a look at the records and put it to a vote.

Rosetti or Walker.

Satisfied?

Syd, how's it look in there?

Pretty ugly.

Drug dealers everywhere.

Got to give it to Cardoza, though.

He's bold.

Are you ready to move on His Boldness?

Hey, there, little lady.

You know, I see you sitting there all alone,

and I think, "What this girl really needs

"is a little pick-me-up

from ol' Lon," you know what I mean?

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I'm fine right where I am.

Come on, baby.

Don't you want a little action?

Well, you know what?

I happen to like a little action now and then.

Action!

Action!

Action!

Texas Rangers! Nobody move!

How's that for action?

What took you so long?

I think that's gonna leave a mark.

Sir.

Mr. Cardoza, what can I do for you?

I just had my third operation taken down.

Maybe I do have a mole.

There's no maybe about it. You do, and I know who it is.

Is it Bobby?

Your lieutenant? No.

Is it Bruce?

John?

Frank?

Mr. Cardoza, no pay, no play.

You expect me to give 15 million bucks to a guy

who won't even show his face?

No, $15 million is what the original members paid.

I expect you to pay 20.

That's robbery!

You wait a week, it'll be $25 million.

Make up your mind.

All right. Fine.

Now, who is it?

When your money's in my account, I'll tell you.

We'll email you the instructions.

So good to see you, Alex.

Ranger Walker.

Senator.

Well, I certainly appreciate

your coming on such short notice.

We have a lot to talk about.

Please, be seated.

A special task force?

Mm-hmm.

It's the only solution we could come up with.

Every day, the mastermind behind this crime

keeps hacking deeper and deeper into our files.

And every day another undercover agent

is exposed... and killed.

The subcommittee is looking

to you to find out who's responsible for this

and to stop him.

Will you accept this assignment?

Do I get to pick my own team?

Yes... except for one.

A New York police sergeant,

Vincent Rosetti.

Rosetti. I've heard of him.

Good cop.

Okay, Senator, I accept.

Good.

Now, we know you're

going to be busy, so Alex,

we would like you to be the liaison between Walker

and the Senate Subcommittee.

I'd be happy to do that, Senator.

This is a national emergency, Ranger Walker.

Time is of the essence.

We'll get right on it.

Thank you.

Good luck.

Cardoza's wired instructions

to his Hong Kong bank.

We should have the cash after they open tomorrow.

Excellent.

You want to tell him who we found?

No, let him sweat for being so arrogant.

Yeah.

Wow.

It's like NASA.

NASA 20 years from now.

All this stuff state-of-the-art?

Thanks to Uncle Sam.

What is, uh...?

What is this here?

A task force operation board.

It'll allow you to track

each and every aspect of the case,

regardless of how complex.

So you mean it's just us and all these toys?

No, we have a New York cop named Rosetti

who will be on the team.

A New York cop, huh?

Mm-hmm.

And so?

Oh, well, my sister used to date one.

They have a tendency

to be a little arrogant sometimes.

Well, if he's a top cop, he won't be arrogant

working right next to you.

Well, I'm glad you feel that way, Jimmy,

because Walker's gonna head up

the task force, and he is your new partner.

Hey. Hey, no, no, no.

Yes.

No.

No, Baltimore people don't...

They don't mix with New York people.

What?

They're pushy.

Yeah, they make "please"

a four-letter word.

And they're rude.

That's right.

"Hey, you" is their name for one out of three people.

No, let one of these people do it.

Hey... you.

The name's Ranger Trivette.

Yeah, whatever, Tex.

You want to show me where Walker is?

Please?

Yeah, he's over there.

Nice boots.

You Walker?

Good to have you on the team,

Rosetti. Yeah, thanks.

Listen, I heard a lot

about you, Walker, but I got to be honest, you know.

I think my guys back in New York would be a lot better off

handling this job than your boys down here.

I mean, Dallas is a big city and all, but, uh,

it's not the big city.

Hmm.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion, Rosetti,

but the subcommittee picked me.

Now you can either work with me

or go back to your big city.

Fair enough.

Just had to let you know how I feel.

Fair enough.

Now get to work.

Yeah.

So, you's gonna introduce yourselves or what?

I'm Alex Cahill Walker.

Walker?

Yeah. Ranger Sydney Cooke.

Hey.

I'm Gage.

Nice to meet you.

You know what?

What?

I'm thinking that this operation's

gonna need some major computer skills.

Somebody a whole lot better than me.

Have anyone in mind?

I do. Buzz.

Buzz? Who's he?

He's a she.

Had a run-in with her about a year ago.

Nobody better.

Know where we can find her?

I do.

Go get her.

Oh, come on, Warden.

It was a joke.

A joke?

You had pizza delivered to the entire prison

population.

You opened the cell doors so the delivery man

could just walk in, and Miss Lee,

you had the entire amount charged to me.

Well, it was your birthday.

I thought you should have a party.

How did you know it was my birthday?

How did you do this?

Library computers.

Ruth,

I told you to keep her away from the electronics.

You know where you're going now?

Again?

Oh, yeah, that's right. The hole.

Warden.

Hi, Buzz.

Ranger Trivette.

Did you ever get that credit report cleared up?

Yes, it took me six months.

Excuse me.

Ranger, what exactly are you here for?

Her, sir.

Oh, you shouldn't have.

That's a bench warrant authorizing the release

of Ms. Lee to ranger custody.

Good riddance.

Where do I sign?

Might want to keep

an eye on her, Ranger, if you don't want to go bankrupt.

Been there, done that, sir.

Let's go, Buzz. Hey...

don't I have a say in the matter?

Buzz, you can come with me, you get to play with

the latest high-tech computer equipment.

Or you can stay here and rot in solitary confinement.

You sold me.

Okay, let's analyze what we've got so far.

25 federal

undercover agents have been killed.

And they were all deep undercover

in various crime families.

What makes this unusual

is that these crime organizations

rarely work together.

I mean, if ever.

Looks to me like who's ever breaking in

to the federal agencies is making a deal

with the crime families

to sweep their organizations clean.

Mm. And why?

Money. Got to be money, right?

Right.

So who?

That's what the subcommittee

wants us to find out.

All right, so where do we go from here?

I can answer that.

Folks, this is Buzz Lee.

She wrote the book on computer hacking.

Hi, handsome.

Hi.

So Buzz, are you as good at hacking

as Trivette says you are?

Better.

Buzz, you're working over there.

Excuse me?

Did you hear that?

What?

Did you hear that?

"Handsome." Hmm?

Gage, the girl just got out of prison.

I imagine anyone looks pretty good to her right now.

This is a honey.

Buzz, see if you can break in

to one of the crime boss's bank records.

Which one?

Clint Redman.

Where's he located?

Fort Worth.

Give me a second.

Yeah, right.

Or less.

Geez. We need a computer expert,

he brings in a felon.

Only in Texas.

She'll surprise you.

Got it.

Whoa.

You're-You're in?

Not bad for a felon, huh?

Aha!

Mr. Redman's bank accounts show a recent cash transfer

of $15 million.

Hmm. How about LaForge in New Orleans?

Same old, same old.

$15 million.

Whoever this mastermind is,

he's charging the crime families

$15 million for his services.

Where did the money go?

Looks like the transfers went into

a numbered bank account in the Cayman Islands.

Geez, that money could be anywhere in the world by now.

Can you tell us

who that bank account belongs to?

Checking.

Whoa.

There were a whole bunch of $15 million transf...

Whoa.

Somebody's wiring money into the account right now.

Can you tell us who?

Uh... No.

No, no, no.

What-What happened?

It deleted itself?

As soon as I accessed the accounts,

all the records vanished.

How?

No way I have ever seen.

These guys are good.

How about the transaction

you said was just coming in?

Right.

There it is.

$20 million from a bank in Hong Kong.

Registered to a Uni-Waste Corporation.

It's got to be a shell company.

Can you find out who owns it?

Mm-hmm.

An A. Cardoza.

Alberto Cardoza.

Chapin's here. I'll call you back.

You got something, Walker?

Yeah, I think you've got a problem.

Like what?

The agent you have undercover

with Cardoza may be in trouble.

We've been tracking the recent deaths

of federal agents.

They all seem to be connected to a central figure

who's been charging the families millions

and then orchestrating the killings.

And the last payment made to this guy's account

came from Alberto Cardoza.

God.

I was afraid something

like this would happen.

She's missed her last two contacts.

She?

Leslie Clarkson.

One of our best agents.

When's your next point of contact?

Today at 2:00.

Okay.

If she doesn't show up, give us a call, will you?

You got it.

So what do you think?

For someone who hates water,

you sure wear a lot of bikinis, baby.

Would you rather I didn't?

Yeah?

Good afternoon.

It's the Chairman.

Get to your computer as quickly as possible,

and I'll share my little secret with you.

It's about time.

I'll be right back, baby.

Wait for me? Mm-hmm.

So, tell me who it is.

A DEA agent.

One of your most trusted confidants.

Trusted confidant, huh?

Mm-hmm.

I'll kill him myself.

Well, surprise, surprise... It's not really a him.

It's a her.

Leslie.

What's wrong?

Where you going?

Bikini shopping. You mind?

Well, before you go, babe, I got a little something for you.

And, boy, are you gonna be surprised.

Why don't you go to the bedroom and wait?

I'll bring it right in.

Okay.

You've been a very naughty girl...

Agent Clarkson.

Walker.

Walker, she hasn't shown up yet.

We're going to Cardoza's.

We'll meet you there.

Right.

Let's go!

You know, you almost had me fooled.

Yeah, well, you were never really that smart.

Lazarus... kill her.

And make it slow.

Tell me, Mr. Cardoza,

what is her worst fear?

Water.

Hmm.

She hates water.

Tie the anchor around her wrists.

Gage, I'm going after the boat. You get the house.

Cops!

Let's throw her in!

No!

Uh-uh.

Radio for a boat. Walker's in the water.

Shoot them down!

You all right? Yeah.

Walker dove from the helicopter into the lake.

Get these guys cuffed!

Take it down.

♪ ♪

The Cardoza crime syndicate is finished.

Do you have anything on the mastermind yet?

No, not yet.

Got it.

Got what?

Cardoza's Internet account records.

He had them with an offshore service provider

under a phony name, but after rebuilding

his home hard drive, I got 'em.

It'll show us every Web communication

Cardoza's had over the past three months.

Here it comes.

"Better luck next time"?

What does that mean?

That means we haven't heard the last of him.

We ID'd the two bodies we fished out of the lake.

One of them's Cardoza,

the other one's one of his boys.

Yeah, but the killer they brought in

to whack you is missing.

Lazarus. That's what Alberto called him.

Leslie, I need a composite drawing

of this guy, okay?

Okay.

Get started.

The only Lazarus I heard of rose from the dead.

I think it's a different guy.
