GAGE: It's my dream car, captain. I just got it yesterday.

You're not gonna believe it. It's absolutely amazing.

I can hardly wait, Gage.

[GAGE CHUCKLES]

Whew, there she is.

Is that a classy looking car, captain, or what?

- It's nice. - Huh?

Midnight blue. There's a little metallic flake in the paint.

Uh, look at that. Hemi. It's a hemi, sir.

Hop in. Hop in.

Four hundred and twenty-five horsepower.

Here, start it up. Look at the gauges, huh? And the leather? Huh?

[ENGINE STARTS AND REVS]

- Yeah. - Listen to that. Isn't that awesome?

- Yeah, it's nice. - I love this car. I love it.

- Mind if I take it for a spin? - Huh?

Mind if I drive the car?

Uh, no, no. Uh, I mean, sure. Here, um...

- Hi, Jere. JERRY: Hey, Alex.

- Hi, Kay. - Hey.

- Sorry, am I interrupting? - No, I was just wrapping up.

Okay. Have you seen Walker?

I think Gage is showing him that car of his.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

GAGE: Whoa, whoa.

Oh, sir. Okay. Ugh.

Sir, uh, there's a speed bump. Whoa!

- What is it with men and their cars? - Boys and their toys.

Heh, I guess. You want me to get him on the horn?

No, let him play. I'll catch up with him later. Thanks.

Is that rose oil?

Wow, you are good, heh.

- It's pretty powerful, huh? - It handles good, Gage.

Ahem. Oh, hey, and, uh, sir, this navigation system

will tell you exactly where to turn. Watch this.

GPS VOICE [OVER SPEAKER]: Right turn, one-tenth of a mile.

GAGE: Huh? - Gage, I already knew where to turn.

I'll tell you what, there's nothing like having a brand-new car.

It's your first job, son. You cover entrance, you cover our 6.

You don't do anything stupid. You stick with the plan.

- You got it? - Yeah.

Now listen up. We intimidate, shock and awe,

and we get out before they know what hit them.

Everybody good? Check your gear.

Hi.

Hi, is it too late to get in my safe deposit box?

- No, sir. You made it just in time. - Okay.

GIBBS: Come on, let's go.

GIBBS: Let me see your hands! COHORT 1: On the ground now!

COHORT 2: Everyone down! GIBBS: Let me see your hands!

LIZ [OVER PHONE]: Ranger Office. - Liz, this is Ranger Rhett Harper.

Robbery in progress, Stonehurst Bank, downtown branch.

Shots fired. I am 10-33.

10-4, copy that.

Robbery in progress, Stonehurst Bank. Ranger inside, he is 10-33.

Probably Rhett. He was on his way to the bank.

Hold on.

Oh, no.

[TIRES SCREECH]

GIBBS: Back off! Come on! Down on the floor now!

Fill it up! Let's go, let's go!

Let's go! Come on! Don't move!

[GRUNTS]

Oh, damn.

GIBBS: Get down! GUARD: Unh!

COHORT 2: Move! Get out of here!

I'm out of here.

Go, go, go!

WALKER: We gotta cut them off. GAGE: Yeah, but my door!

GIBBS: I've got the money. Let's go!

DONNY: Dad, look out!

GIBBS: Donny!

GAGE: Aah! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Oh! Okay, okay. Easy, easy.

Captain, captain! Outhouse, outhouse!

You're gonna leave a mark!

GIBBS: Son!

I'm sorry, Dad.

GIBBS: No!

GPS VOICE [OVER SPEAKER]: Make a U-turn.

[ENGINE HISSING AND CLANGING]

WALKER: Oh, boy. Messed up, huh?

Sorry about the car.

LARKIN: During Desert Shield,

our missile targeting accuracy was 70 percent.

With the Alpha Echo Mark Five,

we're talking 100 percent.

One hundred percent? Really?

Admiral, with this component installed,

we can park a missile on the bad guy's breakfast table.

This is the only one off the production line.

Let us know how the missile test goes.

I'm sure the Mark Five will perform well.

This will be the only one manufactured until you finish your testing.

Thank you.

- Aaron, shut the floor down, will you? - Yes, sir.

Pentagon's pleased that with your company's contribution,

America continues to be a leader in missile guidance technology.

Well, Delta Vee is happy to be of service to our country.

And we're especially proud of our division chief here,

Reid Larkin, and his team who developed the Mark Five.

Well, thank you, Mr. Larkin.

[UPBEAT COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

- All right, Kay, try this one. - Mm-hm.

- Locard's Theory. - Too easy.

When two objects come in contact,

each object leaves something of itself and takes something from the other.

[KAY CHUCKLES]

All right, Newton's second law of motion.

F equals MA. Force equals mass times acceleration.

- Thank you very much. - Oh.

What in the devil are you guys talking about now?

Well...

[KAY LAUGHS]

You really wanna know?

No, actually. I've got better things to do.

Thanks, Willa.

You know, for an ex-jock, you're a real geek.

You know that, don't you?

High praise coming from a technical Wonk.

Mm-hm, L.A.P.D., N.Y.P.D., and now Quantico?

When you're through training those recruits,

they're gonna be able to track a toothpick in a haystack.

Thank you, I appreciate that.

Hey, guys, listen up. Listen to this.

I am saying that the Rangers, DPS, Dallas Police and the Sheriffs

should all wear the same uniform.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen,

I am calling for the end of the Texas Rangers.

Our legislators, who work so diligently spending our hard-earned tax dollars,

should earn their keep

by immediately disbanding this outmoded organization.

Never knew a man to use so many words to say so little.

KAY: Hmm.

You know, you're right, Walker. And I'm tired of that whiny voice.

- Yeah. How are you doing, Kay? - Good.

- Ready? - Yeah, I'm ready.

I'm out of here, guys.

- See you, Kay. - See you.

MAN: Again? TRIVETTE: See you when I see you.

- Thank you. - All right.

Thanks for running me to the airport Quanticds my last assignment.

Good, it's time you got back here and did some real work.

It was good while it lasted.

[WALKER CHUCKLES]

I have a bone to pick with you, mister.

Oh, no, are you still on that?

I'm not saying I don't trust you watching my back.

But let's say a 350-pound redneck

hopped up on PCP attacks me with a knife.

My boy Gage here might be, you know...

No, I don't know, Rhett.

If a 350-pound redneck hopped up on PCP attacked you with a knife,

my 9-millimeter here has a lot of stopping power.

I'm sure that's what my buddy Gage would do.

Right, Gage?

In this particular instance, yes, I would, Kay“.

Sorry, buddy.

I'm gonna go, uh, play some pinball, okay?

Are those two boys picking on you, honey?

Oh, nothing I can't handle.

[CHUCKLES]

What do you mean, "in this panicular instance"?

Just that. I was just saying in this instance--

[KAY SCOFFS]

— It's not. — I'm not insinuating anything.

Thanks, appreciate it.

[MACHINES WHIRRING AND BEEPING]

ALEX: You can cook some.

Can you put those in, uh, the oven? There you go.

When you take them out, they're gonna be brownies.

ANGEL: Oh. Yeah.

- Uh-oh. Ha, ha. ANGEL: That's Daddy.

Get him. Run, run, run.

ANGEL: Daddy!

ANGEL: Daddy! - Hey, hey, munchkin!

[WALKER GRUNTS]

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

WALKER: What?

ANGEL: Jeez. WALKER: Oh.

- Hey there. - Hey.

- Did you get Jimmy off okay? - Yeah, sure did.

What are you doing, helping Mommy cook?

ANGEL: Yeah. - Mm.

She is. Look what she's got in the oven.

What do you have in the oven?

- What's that? - Brownies.

- You're making brownies? - Mm-hm.

Oh, Daddy's favorite.

Yes, dinner in ten minutes.

Oh, ten minutes? Should we play hide-and-seek?

- Yeah. - Okay.

You run. You run and hide. Here I come.

- Where is my munchkin? ANGEL: Right here!

WALKER: Where? Where is my little girl?

Jeremy, remember what we talked about, all right?

I'm telling you, just save something for the race, all right?

All right, I'll see you at 5.

Hey, Aaron, congratulations.

You'll probably get a big bonus for this one.

Yeah, I'm sure I will, Adam.

— I'm sure I will. — You have anything for shipping?

- No, I'm cool. I'm good. - All right.

Mr. Summers would like to see you in the lab, sir.

Uh, sure. Ahem. ls there a problem?

Just come with us.

[DEVICE BEEPING]

Aaron, what's going on here?

Oh. That? Uh, just ignore it.

The pressure's gonna drop to a safe level.

SUMMERS: Huh. Okay.

- You know, you can't be too careful. - Yeah.

[SIGHS]

AARON: Adam!

Adam! Ugh!

Well, Aaron, where is it?

There's a problem. It's not really a problem.

It's just a delay.

[GRUNTS]

Where's the Mark Five?

I don't have it. I mean, I don't have it now. I know where it is.

I had to stash it with a colleague. He left with the component.

My God, Adam's gonna find it and know it was me.

No! Unh.

- Adam who? - Hopkins. Adam Hopkins.

[AARON YELLS]

- You've been careless. - I had no choice.

The security guys, they came to my cubicle.

I didn't know what else to do. Unh!

BLUE-EYE: Why are you so nervous?

Don't you get it?

As soon as Adam finds the Mark Five, he's gonna call and report it.

We'll all be exposed. We have to go and get it from him.

We will.

[SCREAMING]

[THUD]

You coming?

Yeah, I'll be right in. I gotta set up my suspension.

You know, you were looking real good out there, Jeremy.

That last run showed a lot of control.

Thanks, Dad.

OKZY-

More bills.

Oh, no, Aaron, what have you done? What have you done?

Stupid.

[RINGING]

- Yes? - Aaron?

No, this is Reid Larkin.

Oh, uh, Mr. Larkin, this is Adam Hopkins.

I must have dialed the wrong number or something.

No, you dialed right, Adam, but there's been a terrible accident.

Aaron, he, uh, fell or jumped or--

I don't know, but the police are here, and he's dead.

What?

Look, Adam, we're very busy here. I have to go.

Hey, Dad, what are we doing for dinner?

- Dad, dinner? - Uh...

What's that?

Uh, nothing, nothing. It's, uh, work.

Hey, pal, why don't you go upstairs and order us a pizza, okay?

Um- Pepperoni.

Okay, cool.

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

- Light beer. WILLA: Coming up.

Hey, how about I buy you that light beer?

How about you don't?

- Keep the change. WILLA: Thanks.

That's another way we can do it.

- You never give up. - Ouch.

JOSH: Yeah, I'm getting it.

But I'm gonna need some hands-on time to figure out what it is.

Wait until you see it. It's awesome. Real micro-tech stuff.

You get over here first thing in the morning, dude.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

JEREMY: Yeah, I'm shutting it down now, Dad.

- Good night, son. - Good night, Dad.

Hey, sorry about Aaron.

Thanks, son.

WALKER: A mother held her new baby

and very slowly rocked him back and forth,

back and forth, back and forth.

And while she held him, she sang:

I'll love you forever I'll like you for always

As long as I'm living My baby you'll be

Ah. Ha, ha.

Well, our munchkin's finally asleep.

Oh.

I'll give you about 30 minutes to stop that.

Let's call it a night, okay?

That's a talent I don't have.

I'm sure you've got your strengths. Heh.

I'm usually not this forward, but I've gotta ask.

Do you play for the Texas Rangers?

- Well, not on the baseball team. - Oh.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

I just- Oh, well. I'm so embarrassed.

No, no. Don't be. Let me get you a drink.

Um, rain check. It's getting late.

- Could you walk me to my car? - Yeah.

Let's go.

Oh, my purse.

Hey, guys, see you tomorrow.

How does he do that?

How are you holding up?

Get away from me.

Geez, Dad, you look trashed. Relax. It's Saturday.

Little jolt of caffeine, I'll be good to go.

Hey, don't be late for your haircut.

But I already had one.

Yeah, four weeks ago, buddy.

Hey, Jeremy.

Hey, captain, I just got a call from Captain Daniels, DPD.

They're shod in Forensics. They'd like to borrow me for few days.

Okay, let Jerry know he'll be filling in for you.

Will do.

Good job.

[PHONE RINGING]

LIZ [OVER PHONE]: Ranger Office. - This is Adam Hopkins.

I need Ranger Walker. It's a matter of national security.

Okay, one moment, please.

[RINGS]

Sir, an Adam Hopkins on one.

He says it's a matter of national security.

- Won't speak to anyone but you. - Okay, I'll take it.

This is Captain Walker. How can I help you, Mr. Hopkins?

Look, I don't know how it happened, but my friend Aaron, he is dead.

And I have something in my possession.

Something that could threaten national security

if it falls into the wrong hands, and I don't--

[DIAL TONE]

Hello?

Liz, is there a caller ID on that last call?

Yes, sir.

Hopkins, Adam. 8805 Gofoflh Street.

Okay, thanks.

- Where is it? - What?

[GRUNTING]

Where's the Mark Five?

I don't know what you're talking about.

- This guy sound legit? - He sounded scared.

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

Yeah.

[ADAM GRUNTING]

Where is it?

Look, I don't know what it is.

An Alpha Echo Mark Five missile guidance component.

Aaron Gordon said you had it.

[PANTING]

You killed him?

You-- You go to hell!

Look what I found in the boy's room. Ha, ha.

It's the Mark Five.

[PHONE LINE DIALING]

LARKIN [OVER PHONE]: What? - Mr. Hopkins is dead.

The Mark Five is not here. We believe his son has it.

Find him and get it back.

JEREMY: Well, what is it? JOSH: Beats me.

I've never seen anything like it.

I'm gonna have to do some major reverse-engineering.

It's gonna take me some time to figure it out.

I've gotta get home. Dad's making me get a haircut.

- Oh, can I hold onto this? - For a while.

I need to get it back before he misses it. See you.

BURTON: One Dee Dee Michaels.

Right now I'm good with strangulation as the cause of death.

But we'll know more after the autopsy.

No murder weapon was found, so the killer probably used his hands.

His?

Well, that kind of force would tend to rule out a female.

But you'll let us know. It's a clean scene.

- Oh, my God. BURTON: What?

- I saw this victim last night. BURTON: Where?

At the Open Range Bar. She was hitting on one of our people.

Who?

Ranger Rhett Harper.

The body shows signs of lividity to the lower back and the calves,

yet she's prone, like she's trying to crawl away from her attacker.

You thinking the victim was moved post-modem?

That's what it looks like.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

WALKER: Mr. Hopkins, Texas Rangers.

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKER]

Mr. Hopkins?

[MUSIC STOPS]

Clear upstairs.

Ooh. Did he take a beating?

- Is he, um...? - Yeah, he's dead.

I'll call it in.

[SIGHS]

Dad?

Dad!

- You okay here, Jerry? - Got it covered, captain.

Jeremy, I need to ask you to go for a ride with us, okay?

You hang in there, though, buddy, all right?

[CHATTERING OVER POLICE RADIO]

[GAPS THEN COUGHS]

[SIREN WAILING NEARBY]

- Thought you were dead. - I feel dead.

What the heck was that?

KAY: It's strange.

There are no follicular tags on any of these samples.

If our victim ripped her attackefis hair out during the struggle,

we should be seeing the root sheath cells.

Well, exactly.

- Oh, no. - What? Did you get a print match?

- Uh, yes. BURTON: Well?

Rhett Harper.

Let's go talk to him.

If you don't mind, uh, I'd like to handle the first interview.

- You know, professional couflesy. - It's fine by me.

But if we get a DNA match, Kay, it's gonna be more than an interview.

ADAM [ON RECORDING]: Yeah, this is Adam Hopkins.

Look, I don't know how it happened, but my friend Aaron, he is dead.

And I have something in my possession.

Something that could threaten national security

if it falls into the wrong hands and I don't--

[DIAL TONE ON RECORDING]

Eyewitnesses saw three Asians chasing a boy on a did bike.

They say he got away.

Okay, we know these Koreans want the boy very badly.

What we don't know is why.

Jeremy Hopkins has been missing for five hours

and as we all know, every hour that passes

reduces our chances of finding him alive.

These men are extremely dangerous. We found that out today.

You're authorized to use deadly force.

And don't hesitate, because they won't.

We have an eyewitness sitting down with a sketch artist now

so we can put faces on our suspects.

There are three Koreans of medium build.

We gotta find that boy before they do, so let's go.

Oh, Captain Walker, Rhett, can I speak with you for a moment?

My office.

RHETT: It's plumb crazy.

I walked her to her car and I headed home. That was it.

Rhett, we've got 15 comparison points on your print.

Well, that can't be. You gotta run it again.

And the hair?

It's human. It's Caucasian. Initial analysis matches your color.

I don't know how it got there, but I didn't do it, okay?

Captain, may I be excused?

[RHETT SIGHS]

- I believe him. - Well, me too.

But the evidence.

Somethings wrong here.

- Find out what it is. - Yes, sir.

We're giving Ranger Kay Austin the lead in this case for the time being.

But you should know it could be coming your way.

You better be dead certain

before you ask this office to press charges, detective.

Rhett Harper's a decorated Ranger, Mike.

Yeah, I know it. I'm just giving you a heads-up.

I'll keep you posted.

You're all over TV. They're looking for you.

You should have seen what they did to my dad.

Oh, man, this is bad. What are you gonna do?

I don't know, I don't know.

- I'll go grab us some food. - No.

No one can know I'm here.

I won't tell my parents. I won't tell anyone.

[SOBBING]

[OFFICERS CHATTERING]

Ranger Austin, come on in.

Ah.

- Guess who this is. - Haven't a clue.

Name's Scott Brinkman.

Arrested last year on a rape charge, 13-year-old girl.

Walked on a technicality.

Guess who the arresting officer was.

Don't tell me. Ugh.

- Yeah, Rhett Harper. - Jeez.

Jim, what you got there?

Probably the murder weapon. Found it in the Dumpster.

- Lab. - Lab.

- All right, Kay, it's all yours. - All right.

KAY: Okay, who killed you and why, Mr. Brinkman?

Rhett, the test results are in. It's not looking good.

What are you talking about?

I retested the print at the Dee Dee Michaels murder scene.

It's yours.

Hair type, consistent with yours.

We've now got matching prints, fibers, hair and blood evidence

at the Brinkman scene.

Now, I'm still waiting on the DNA from my blood samples,

but what we've got puts you squarely at both scenes.

Oh, blood? Do you see any cuts on me?

BURTON: Let me play devil's advocate.

Paint a little scenario for you.

Beautiful girl meets beautiful guy.

Things get a little hot and heavy. She says no. You say yes.

Next thing you know...

It's classic.

Now, Scott Brinkman.

He was good for raping that 13-year-old. Walked on a technicality.

You put a hell of a lot of hard work into that case, Rhett.

I would've wanted to hit him in the head with a baseball bat myself.

Come on, that's crazy. You wouldn't have done it and neither would I.

Ranger Harper, we're gonna have to go with the evidence.

And the evidence demonstrates that we have enough to prosecute.

Whoa. Let's think this through for a second, all right?

I did not kill Brinkman.

And I did not kill that girl. I don't even know her.

Someone's doing this to me. They're framing me.

I've been going over it in my head so many times, it hufls.

And what I've come up with is Gibbs.

Derrick Gibbs. I shot his son at the bank robbery.

And Derrick saw me do it. That gives him plenty of motive.

[SIGHS]

Ranger Harper, you're under arrest.

Two counts of homicide.

You know the drill, Rhett.

[RHETT SIGHS]

- Captain, you know I couldn't do this. - I know, Rhett.

We'll find a way to clear you.

Rhett Harper, you have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say“ can and will be used against you in a court of law.

You have a right to an attorney.

I'm just not seeing the motive for the Dee Dee Michaels murder.

I mean, Rhetfs a good-looking guy, right?

He doesn't have to force himself on anybody.

Texas big-hairs swarm to him like bees to honey.

GAGE: Heh, I think he's built a pretty good case against Gibbs myself.

Yeah.

Well, we're missing something here.

Kay, re-work the evidence. I want you to turn the heat up on Gibbs.

OKZY-

What's the status on Jeremy Hopkins?

No word from DPS, hospitals or the morgue.

- That's good. It's been two days. - Yeah.

I'll talk to his friends at school. Let's get on it.

- All right, see you. - Okay, see you.

Give me one example, one example,

where I let my marriage to Walker interfere with my judgment?

It's the appearance of conflict, Alex.

If you don't recuse yourself,

it'll undermine the integrity of this department.

Easy, Nancy. Look, the sky isn't falling just yet.

Look, I understand your concerns, but Alex's record speaks for itself.

She didn't get where she is by dodging the tough calls.

ALEX: Sumner?

I'm afraid I've got to side with Nancy on this one, Alex.

It's a big mistake.

Well, thank you for your input.

- Garrett? - Yeah?

- Can you hang back for a moment? GARRETT: Sure.

- What's on your mind? - Garrett, I'm gonna need you on this.

- Are you up for it? - I don't know, Alex.

I'm pretty swamped right now.

I know, I know what's on your plate.

- Never mind. - Wait a second, um...

I can give the Henderson case to Nancy. She can handle it.

- Thank you, Garrett. - No problem. I'll get on it.

Ranger Walker would like to talk with you about your friend Jeremy Hopkins.

Yeah, first his mother, now his father.

I just feel awful.

Well, that's why I'm here.

Have any of you seen or heard from Jeremy?

Um, I haven't seen him. Not since it happened.

Well, here's my phone number.

Jeremy could be in a lot of danger and we all wanna help him, right?

How did I miss that?

- You okay? - Yes, I'm just--

I'm just pissed, you know? I had that evidence right in my hands.

Did you get a look at his face?

[KAY SIGHS]

No, I didn't see his face, just this tattoo.

Hmm, looks to me like someone is trying to keep you

from getting at the truth.

Yeah, they're trying.

- But they're making mistakes. - Like what?

Like the blow to Brinkman's head. It was too perfect.

Like he was caught dead-on, by surprise. It killed him instantly.

And there weren't any defensive wounds.

Yet the place was trashed, like there was some big fight.

Well, we all know Rhett is too smafl

to leave a murder weapon where anyone could find it.

Loose ends. Just nothing but loose ends.

[KAY SIGHS]

We need to get a look at that deposition as soon as possible.

- I can take care of that for you. - Thank you.

Mm-hm.

WALKER: Hi, Nancy. - Hi, captain.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Is this a business call? - Nope.

Just stopped by to see how you're holding up.

Heh. Not great.

Carlton Cross has accused me of collusion

and my husband of a cover-up.

It isn't the first time we've gone through this.

We have to go after Rhett, Walker.

Fife have to go after him with everything that we've got.

I wouldn't expect you to do otherwise.

I just hope we can all live with that.

Your Honor, Ranger Harper's print was recovered

from the Dee Dee Michaels murder scene.

His hair was recovered from the victim's closed fist.

DNA from blood at the scene matches his DNA profile.

And witnesses place him in the victim's company the night of her murder.

Evidence from hair, fibers, prints and blood

also place him at the Brinkmans' apartment the night of his murder.

Scott Brinkman, as this court knows,

was acquitted of raping a 13-year-old girl.

Ranger Harper was the arresting officer.

Uh, excuse me, Your Honor, we have something that just came in.

Objection. Discovery.

Uh, bring it here, counsel.

Okay, I'll allow it.

But let's play by the rules from now on, counsel.

- Share and share alike. - Yes, Your Honor.

This is the PCR test of the blood found in Scott Brinkman's couch.

New, if you were to search the entire population of Earth,

you would expect to find only one person

whose DNA profile matched the sample.

And we have determined that this DNA profile matches that of only one man.

The man sitting right there.

Ma'am.

KAY: Have a seat. - Hello to you too.

Put your arm right here.

Will you be still?

I've taken blood from newborn foals that have squirmed less than you.

I'd rather take a bullet than a needle any old day.

Big bah?-

[RHETT CHUCKLES]

Hey, listen, I want you to think back, try to remember.

Is there any time you might've lost blood over the past couple of months?

I mean, I don't know.

Cut yourself shaving, blood drive, anything?

Well, I didn't give any away, but I lost some.

- What, in the shoot-out with Gibbs? - No, a few days later.

I had an abscessed tooth. I was driving home from the dentist.

Some guy rear-ended me at a light.

I was about to exchange insurance info.

And he hauled off and he sucker punched me right in the nose.

I bled like a stuck pig.

- Then what happened? - Then he took off on foot.

D.P.D. picked him up an hour later in a bar.

- Did you catch his name? - Uh, let me see.

Van Horne. I don't remember his first name.

They booked him on a misdemeanor assault. That's the last I heard of it.

Wait, are we thinking that's when Gibbs bagged my blood sample?

If it was Gibbs, yeah.

Hey, what did they give you for the tooth?

Some, uh, horse pill antibiotic.

- Really. - What?

I don't know.

I'll see you later.

Hey, Rhett, hang in there. We'll get you through.

[SIGHS]

JOSH: I don't know about this, Jeremy.

Look, I built a simulation of the circuit board

and understand what most of it is.

This one is for missile guidance. This one is for on-board telemetry.

And this one's for propulsion.

Whatever that is, I don't think we're gonna find it on the Internet.

On TV they're saying the guys that are after me, they're Koreans.

But we're allies. We have troops there.

Not in the North, we don't.

And guess who has the missiles, but lack the targeting.

North Korea.

MRS. WHITELY: Joshua?

Calls it "the lab."

Joshua?

Joshua?

Now where did that boy get to? Joshua?

- Let's put an officer on this place. - Okay, I'll take care of it.

Then Kay and I will go to the district, get a line on Gibbs.

- Okay. MRS. WHITELY: That boy.

[GAGE CLEARS THROAT]

I don't know where he went.

- Okay, thank you, ma'am. - Thank you anyway. See you later.

I can work one end. You can work the other. We could make some money.

That would be great. We really need to do that.

That's a real good idea, man.

WARREN: Hey, Walker. - Hey, Warren.

- Hey, how are you doing? - Doing great.

Haven't seen you in a while.

Well, I haven't been around in a while, you know.

- So how you been? - Ah, okay.

Well, things could be a little better, you know.

Yeah. Well, I'll tell you what.

Why don't you and your buddy have dinner on me?

Well, thank you.

Uh, you still looking for them Koreans I seen in the paper?

Yeah, I am.

I think I might have seen them over at Charley Kang's.

You see them, don't say hello for me.

Thanks, Warren. Take care of yourself.

I wouldn't wanna be on the wrong side of that one.

He's got a knack for disappearing himself.

All right. Thanks, Gene.

KAY: So look at that. Antibiotic.

- Talk to me. - Okay.

Rhett was given 1,500 milligrams of tetracycline

for a bad tooth three weeks ago.

The blood on the Brinkman couch is comparable to that dosage.

. OK@V' . OK@V'

The blood I took yesterday shows no signs of antibiotic.

Now, the Brinkman murder took place last week.

What does that tell you?

Somebody planted old blood at the new murder scene.

KAY: Yes, yes.

[PRISONER COUGHING]

WOMAN [OVER PHONE]: Operator. - This is Rhett Harper.

I wanna make a collect call to Ranger Walker.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

That's great, Rhett. I'll be right there.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

- Yes, Kay. - Hey.

- You'll never believe what I found. - Try me.

The blood I took from Rhett yesterday was clean.

But his sample from Brinkman's had antibiotic in it.

He's been framed.

You wanna meet the guy who punched him?

KAY: You wanna tell me why you did it?

I was depressed.

Oh. You punched a Texas Ranger because you were depressed.

No, I got drunk.

You got drunk and then you punched a Texas Ranger.

No, I got drunk and ran a light. What pan of "drunk" don't you understand?

This isn't about a DUI.

This is about assault on an officer of the law.

I got nothing to say.

Look, buddy, you're on the line for conspiracy to commit murder.

I want a lawyer.

Forget the lawyer.

We don't have enough to hold you yet.

But we will.

And when we do, you will need a lawyer.

Now get out.

- Really? I can go? - I said, get out.

JOSH: Jeremy, where have you been? Where were you?

There's a cop parked in my driveway.

I went to go get some of my stuff. Those Koreans were there.

- Dude, they're everywhere. - Get inside, quick.

[BLUE-EYE SIGHS]

You failed to deliver the component.

It should be a simple matter of just manufacturing a new one.

Simple? Impossible.

The Rangers have us under a microscope

and you killed the only man who knew the program.

And how is it you can't even find a 13-year-old boy?

[CHUCKLES]

I do not think you're getting the big picture here, Mr. Larkin.

If we fail to bring the component back,

the results will be the same for all of us.

I'm telling you right now, man.

[TYSON SCOFFS]

If there's gonna be trouble for me, there's gonna be trouble for you.

Trouble for me?

Are you threatening me?

You're the one who put me up to this, Clete.

That Ranger said he's gonna get me.

I need some money. I gotta get out of here, simple as that.

I'll tell you what's simple.

You are gonna get out of here, you little maggot.

Not before I beat you down.

And I'm not a good liar, all right? I always get caught.

You have to turn yourself in.

You don't understand.

This is national security stuff here and it's all my fault.

No, it's okay. I'll bring it to you.

He's a great guy. My dad really liked him.

Look, I gotta go.

The fountain at Fair Park.

Call Gage. Tell him to meet us there.

Do you know what this is?

JEREMY: No, not really.

I've been on the street,

ever since those North Korean dudes tried to grab me.

And how do you know they were North Koreans?

It was in the paper.

It didn't say“ the? were from the North, Jeremy.

Why did my dad have this?

There was a terrible mistake.

Are you sure no one else has seen this?

Why? Why is it so impoflant?

It's very important that you tell me the truth.

Look, I am telling you the truth.

Now I think I better go.

It's over now, Jeremy.

CROSS: In today's preliminary hearing,

Ranger Kay Austin presents forensic evidence

she claims will clear her fellow Ranger Rhett Harper.

But will her testimony be truthful?

Are the Rangers distorting the facts to clear one of their own?

You'll hear my' full report when oourt adjourns this afternoon.

And we'll continue to bring you updates.

KAY: That's when I concluded that the so-called struggle

at the Brinkman murder scene was staged.

GARRETT: I see.

Uh, Ranger Austin, isn't it true that your relationship with Ranger Harper

extends beyond the workplace?

That has no relevance, Mr. Evans.

And no, it does not.

I'm afraid it is relevant. It goes to professional bias.

It goes to you skewing your results in favor of the accused.

Objection.

Is there a question here somewhere, counsel?

Yes, Your Honor, there is.

I believe that this Ranger manipulated her results to clear a guilty man.

That is an absolute lie.

GARRETT: I'm done with this witness, Your Honor.

That was pretty harsh.

Trying to get a conviction, aren't we?

This coufl is in recess for lunch till 2 p.m.

- So California, huh? - Yeah.

My aunt and uncle live in San Diego.

Hear it's pretty nice. Close to the beach and all.

Hmm.

Well, I guess you'll have to buy yourself a surfboard.

Heh, yeah.

- Are you mad at me, Jere? - What about?

Josh told us where you were.

I'm here, Josh.

I'm alive. You saved my life.

- Then we're friends? - We'll always be friends, man.

- Well, Jeremy, take care of yourself. - Will do, Ranger Walker.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

JEREMY: Let's go.

- Yes, Kay. - I don't know, captain.

It's not going well.

I think Rhett could be indicted.

We've gotta find the real killer.

I think Tyson's the key. Let's squeeze him.

- I'll meet you there. - Yes, sir.

REPORTER: And the prosecution today

introduced some very interesting testimony...

KAY: Obstruction of justice in a capital case...

Get me Tyson's personnel effects.

It's a first-degree felony, Tyson. I'm thinking ten years.

You're thinking ten years?

Ten years because you recognize some tattoo.

A tattoo that looks like this.

The same one that every guy in this town is wearing.

KAY: Who are you working for, Tyson?

TYSON : I'm self-employed.

In fact, I work as a personal trainer, sweetheart.

KAY: You know, Tyson, where you're going,

you're gonna have you own personal trainer named Bubba.

He's gonna wipe that cocky grin right off your face.

WALKER: Ranger Austin, step out here for a minute.

Look what I found on Tyson's phone.

I don't believe it.

Tyson got this call one hour before I went to Brinkman's house.

Yeah, he'll talk now.

HADDON: The prosecution has given evidence

linking my client to Dee Dee Michaels.

But they have utterly failed to provide any motive for her murder.

On the contrary, their own forensics specialist

has laid a solid foundation for a claim of entrapment.

Now, we believe that Ranger Rhett Harper is being framed

for some unknown reason, by some unknown party.

Now, based on this,

I believe that all the charges against my client should be dismissed,

and the prosecution should focus their efforts on finding the real killer.

- Thank you, counsel. HADDON: Thank you, Your Honor.

Is there anything further from the state?

Yes, Your Honor.

When the star of a Texas Ranger is pinned to a man's chest,

we as citizens must be confident that he is gonna uphold

and defend the laws of our great state.

Well, Ranger Rhett Harper has shattered our trust.

He has been judge, jury and executioner.

Two people have died by his hand.

The people have presented sufficient evidence beyond any reasonable doubt

that Ranger Rhett Harper is guilty and should be bound over for trial.

[CHATTERING]

Captain Walker, what is the meaning of this interruption?

- May I approach the bench? - You may.

I have an arrest warrant for two counts of murder

against

Garrett Evans.

- Charlene Evans? - Yes.

Yes. Say it.

Say it, you scum.

Say her name. Say it again.

- But I didn't-- GARRETT: Do you see, Walker?

You see what kind of man he is?

He's just a hotshot hiding behind a badge.

[\IVH|MPER|NG]

You're gonna burn in hell, Harper, and I'm gonna send you there.

[GARRETT GRUNTS]

Charlene Evans. I didn't even know she had a brother.

I met her in college. She was a real nutcase. Wouldn't leave me alone.

Even when I told her I wasn't interested, she stalked me.

It was pretty hairy. I heard she killed herself.

That's a hell of a long time to hold a grudge.

You think you know a person.

Insanity can be a very thorough disguise, Alex.

Okay, I know the why, but I can't figure out the how.

- Kay, why don't you fill him in? - Okay, well, he needed pieces of you.

And since he had access to the Ranger gym and cafeteria,

all he needed was to grab a shifl for hair and fiber.

He got your blood sample after hiring Van Horne to punch you in the nose.

Oh, God.

How did Dee Dee Michaels fit into all of this?

Well, Dee Dee Michaels was a pally girl.

And she was expecting to get paid for hitting on you.

Probably what she wasn't expecting was to get killed in the process.

Remember when you picked up her purse at Open Range?

- Yeah. - Well, that's how he got the prints.

Oh, my God. What about Brinkman? How did Evans pull that one off?

Well, you were Brinkman's arresting officer.

What we found out was that Evans was the prosecutor who lost the case.

So he was just tying up loose ends.

But where he made the mistake was cutting himself,

thrashing the house trying to make it appear there had been a struggle.

RHETT: Hmm.

Well, Ranger Harper, you are of course free to go.

You're a free man.

And good luck to you.

And, please, accept this court's apologies.

Ah, it's no problem, Your Honor.

You all were just going with the givens. I understand that.

Now, how about a hug from the gal who saved my bacon?

Uh, okay.

Before we get to the Q&A, I just wanted to say,

there comes a time in every man's life when he has an epiphany,

where he is forced to reconsider his beliefs...
