All language subtitles for Walker, Texas Ranger - S03E24-E25 - Standoff (480p x265 EDGE2020).eng

People ask why a man

campaigning for office
in Mexico

comes to the United States.

The answer is this:

I believe that our people
are separated

by a border
more symbolic than real.

But regardless
of race or religion

or political affiliations,
we are one.

We must reach out
to each other.

Right.

I agree.
Yeah.

The problems we share,

the terrible effects
of illegal drugs

recognize no
national borders,

nor do the criminals

who profit from them.

You gotta admit, a lot of what
he says makes sense, partner.

They always make sense
until they get elected.

As a military officer
in Mexico,

I fought
the powerful drug lords.

As president,
I pledge to continue that war

on every street
of every city and village.

Think there's any truth
to the rumor

of an attempt on his life?

Well, we can't rule
anything out.

As a young man
in Guadalajara...

At least you have confidence
in his security chief.

Yeah, Jesse Rodriguez.

He was one of the top
federales in Mexico.

Together, we can
put these murderers

out of business
once and for all.

We must, and I will not rest
until we do.

( Mexican music playing )

Trivette, to your left.

Halfway up the ramp.

The guy putting on his gloves.

Does he look
familiar to you?

Yeah, but I don't know
from where.

Same here.

Jesse,

there's a male Caucasian
halfway up the ramp.

Mid-30s, has a suit on,
wearing gloves.

Check him out.

This is Jesse.

Please send a policeman
to check the man by the trees.

( mysterious theme playing )

I don't like
the feel of this.

Jesse, get Colonel Mendoza
off the stage.

Colonel, we have to go now.

No, no, it's fine.
Please, no.

Walker,
he's not ready.

( knives unsheathed )

MAN:
Get him out of here. Move!

( screaming )

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm okay.

He's okay.
I'll check around the front.

How's Mendoza?

Well, he's shaken, but,
hombre, thanks to you,

he's still breathing.

playing )

We have a prearranged plan
for emergencies, Walker.

A car was waiting, and Col.
Mendoza was moved from here

within a minute
of the incident.

It's pretty bad.
Stab wound.

You saw the hit man.

We need a composite
on this man.

And we also need
to check the airlines

to make sure
he doesn't wanna leave town.

He's not gonna leave.

What are you saying?
That whoever it is,

is gonna want to stay here
to finish this?

I looked into
his eyes, Jesse.

He's not the type
of guy that runs.

I don't see him anywhere,
Walker.

Keep looking.

TRIVETTE:
Oh.

TRIVETTE:
Justin Grimes.

Formerly took his mail
at Folsom Prison.

TRIVETTE:
Current whereabouts unknown.

But one of the men on security
recognized him in the crowd

just before the
officer was stabbed.

I think we're looking for bigger
fish than Justin Grimes.

Check with Interpol.

All right.

England.

Italy.

Africa, Greece.

These guys are from
all over the world, Walker.

Hey, how are you gonna
recognize him if he was

wearing a disguise?

I'll know.

Hold it.

Punch in on his eyes.

That's him.
How do you know?

By the eyes, Trivette.

I'll never forget 'em.

"Philippe Brouchard, independent
contract assassin,

"master of disguise.

'Also known as 'The Chameleon.'

Confirmed hits: 19."

Doesn't work cheap either.

Last hit he made in London
went for $5 million.

Not many people
can afford that price.

So who's picking up the tab?

There's no question.

Central American
drug lords.

That's right.
Mendoza came down on them

pretty hard in his speech.

I was in Guadalajara
when a Roman Catholic cardinal

was killed by drug traffickers,

and I've seen
other senseless killings.

Well, no more.

There has to be a change.

Protecting Mendoza means
protecting the future of Mexico.

Good afternoon, sir, and
welcome to the Dallas Palace.

Good afternoon.

I have a reservation.

Yes, sir, the desk
is just inside.

I'll get your luggage.

Thank you.

Herr Braun?

Yes.

David Welles,
guest relations manager.

You've already been
preregistered, sir.

May I show
you to your room?

You are most kind.

Oh, it's my pleasure,
Herr Braun.

So, what now?

Brouchard's never failed
an assignment till now.

That's why he won't leave
Dallas. Mendoza's still alive.

Master of disguise.
He could be anybody, any place.

Good luck.

Wait a minute.
What?

The restaurant where Brouchard
ate during the rally.

What about it?

He ordered
expensive wine.

The waiter remembers him
because he left a big tip.

He's a creature
of comfort, Trivette.

So he'll probably hole up
someplace nice.

Yeah.

It says here he assumes
the identity

of an innocent victim.

Generally an out-of-towner
with no local ties.

Then he waits
for an opening.

So I'll start by checking
out-of-town hotel guests.

Yeah, and any new John Does
in the morgue.

Morning, Walker.
What've you got, Kim?

Security guard happened to
notice blood on the bumper,

called it in,
P.D. responded.

We had your advisory,
the possible description

you were looking for.

Any ID?
None.

He's the same height and weight
as the composite you put out.

Knife wound.

Clean entry between the ribs,
straight to the heart.

Yeah, professional.

Any other markings?

This tattoo.

Old tattoo.

Looks like numbers from
a Nazi concentration camp.

I can try to enhance the
definition when I take him in.

He looks old enough. He would've
been a child back then, huh?

Yeah. Fax his prints to
German and Polish agencies.

Maybe they can help us.

Right.

Ranger Walker?

Larry Tekler,
State Department.

Alex Cahill said I might be
able to track you down here.

Mr. Rodriguez.

Gentlemen, I'm gonna be brief.

As liaison
for the Mendoza visit,

I'm gonna need a full report
on that security fiasco

that occurred yesterday,
ASAP.

What fiasco are you
talking about, Tekler?

Well, you could start with
the details

of the shortcomings of the
local law enforcement

that nearly got a foreign
dignitary murdered on our soil.

Colonel Mendoza's rally was
planned by Washington,

and not locally.

And the number of unsolved
crimes around here

grows every year. I suppose
that's Washington's fault too?

I warned your federal boys
to cancel this trip.

That's the first
I've heard of that.

I thought you said
you were the liaison.

I'm not the one
with the badge, am I?

That's right, you're not.

This isn't through,
Walker.

Colonel Mendoza's
a hard-headed man, Walker.

He has no fear, and I am certain
that he will resume his schedule

just as you are certain that
Brouchard will resume his, huh?

We may have an edge
here, Jess.

Brouchard didn't expect us
to find the body this soon.

Hombre, how long will it be
before we hear from these

European agencies, huh?

Soon, I hope.

( cell phone rings )

Walker.

Yeah, I got a make
on your Justin Grimes.

He's at 6701 Alamitos.

It's a flophouse
near the stockyards.

Got it.

Trivette, I want you
to contact Immigration.

Get a list
of all male Europeans

who've arrived in Dallas
in the last 24 hours.

All right, you got it.

( buzzing )

Yeah?

We're looking
for Justin Grimes.

Never heard of him.

If you never
heard of him,

who's the J. Grimes
on the mailbox, huh?

You got me.
They come and they go.

Did I mention
we have a warrant?

I'll go high,
you go low.

I went low
last time.

Yeah, but you're
younger than me.

Oh, by one year.

Grimes, open up.
Texas Rangers!

( gunshot )

Hands up!

Drop the gun!

Drop the gun!

What's Brouchard's next move?

He's going to--

I don't understand, Walker.

How could he
pull this off, huh?

He couldn't have known
we would be here.

This guy could.

TRIVETTE:
You and Walker seem close, Jess.

I asked him
how you two hooked up.

You know Walker, Trivette.

A man like him
doesn't say too much.

My brother was a federale
same time as me.

We were all on a
drug raid together.

You took a hit, right?

Not just me. Walker.

The whole team.
We were ambushed.

I was shot first,

and Walker took two bullets
trying to save my brother,

but it was too late.

My brother died
in Walker's arms.

And what Walker
did that day,

putting his own life
on the line like that

for a federale
he'd just met,

that's something
I will never forget.

Hey, looks like Jesse was
right about drug lords

bankrolling Brouchard.

A few years ago,
Colonel Mendoza led an army unit

in the capture
of Ernesto Espinoza.

He was a key player in
the Caribbean narcotics trade.

Mendoza personally
delivered Espinoza

to your government
for trial.

We received a bulletin
on Espinoza not too long ago.

Rumor has it
that he's still running

the drug cartel
from prison.

DEA says Espinoza's at war
with the Tampico cartel.

Cordell, I sure am glad
I caught you, by golly.

Well... Oh, C.D. Parker,
Jesse Rodriguez.

Jesse, it's a real
pleasure to meet you.

You and Cordell went through
the wars together, didn't you?

Yes, yes. I've heard a lot
about you too, C.D.

Well, it's nice to know you.
It sure is.

I just wanted to come by and
tell you about my nomination.

I'm excited as a June bride.

Yeah, it's a lifetime
achievement award.

Dallas Crime
Prevention Council.

I'm a finalist.

Oh, really?
TRIVETTE:
All right.

Congratulations.
Yeah, well, it's not official,

but one of the guys on the
council leaked a little

information and-- Oh, it's
gonna be tomorrow night now.

You promised
you was gonna go.

I'll be there. I told you.
Okay, now, let's see.

I wanted you to help me with
this speech a little bit too.

I don't want it
to be too flowery,

but I do have to thank
the little people.

You mean, like Walker and me.
Well, of course, Jimmy.

I may not call you by name,
but you know who you are.

You know, C.D., we're in a real
rush. Can I catch you later?

Well, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I'll catch you later.

I'll just go over this thing
with you, Jimmy.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

No, no. Wait, just-- Jimmy.

Tom? Phil?
Where the hell did he go?

Ah, Ranger Walker.

It is an honor to shake the hand
of the man who saved my life.

Doing my job, colonel,
just like Jesse.

Please.

Well, I was
saddened to learn

of the young policeman's
tragic death.

Any news?

We know the identity
of the assailant.

An international
assassin.

His name is
Philippe Brouchard.

Yes, I've heard of him.

We believe he's hiding out
somewhere in Dallas.

Are you certain?

Yes, sir.

We also believe that he's
working for Ernesto Espinoza.

Espinoza.

He's a determined man.

He will never accept
the rule of law,

nor any man who enforces it.

Yeah, that's why we would like
for you to go into seclusion

until we find Brouchard.

I'm sorry, but that
would be impossible.

Let me show you something.

( speaking in Spanish )

You understand
what that means?

Yes, sir. It says that you're
hiding out somewhere in Dallas.

Rafael Mendoza never hid
from anything or anyone,

yet this is what my people
will read tomorrow.

You cannot help our people
if you are dead.

I cannot let my people believe
I am a coward.

I must stand up to Espinoza.

I understand you're going
to a charity tomorrow night.

Yes, raising money for the
Dallas Crime Prevention Council.

I'd like for you
to cancel it.

Look, I appreciate your concern,
Ranger Walker,

but I cannot think of a more
powerful symbolic statement

than to honor the fine people
of Dallas at this moment.

I will be at the charity ball
tomorrow night.

Nothing can change that.

Yes, sir.

MAN:
Welcome, gentlemen.

You all come highly recommended
through my sources.

I've studied your files.

I know your strengths.

I know your weaknesses.

Fortunately, those are few.

Each of you has received
a package

containing the details
of our operation

and an advanced fee.

The rest will be paid upon
completion of services.

What we don't have
is your name.

My name will be Mr. White.

Each of you is assigned a name
in his package.

Mr. Green, Mr. Brown,
Mr. Blue, and so on.

You know us,
but we don't know you.

Precisely, Mr. Green.

Familiarize yourselves
with our objective.

We're going to need
split-second timing.

There is no room for failure.

( suspenseful theme playing )

WALKER:
No sign of Brouchard here.

TRIVETTE:
Or anyplace else.

I've been manning the phone
all morning,

but only 20 male foreigners

checked in to Metroplex hotels
yesterday.

How many hotels left?

We got three.
The Clarkson Arms,

the Dallas Palace
and the Emery Suites.

Let me ask you something.

You think we have Brouchard
pegged wrong this time?

Maybe he's not doing
the disguise thing.

Maybe he checked into
a $20 motel.

I don't think so.

( sighs )

What hotel on that list

has the finest wine
and restaurant?

Dallas Palace.

Brouchard,
a creature of comfort.

Let's check it out.
All right.

( suspenseful theme playing )

CLERK:
Five of the men on your list
are registered here.

Two traveling together,
Misters Schroeder and Rogiewicz,

and the others
checked in separately.

Gerda, Nemcek and Braun.

May I borrow this?

TRIVETTE:
Walker.

I just talked to the ME.
Those prints ID'd our John Doe.

Name's Klaus Braun.

He's a German
history professor,

67, survivor of
a Nazi concentration camp.

Hm.
Klaus Braun, room 410.

( suspenseful theme playing )

( door beeps )

( Beethoven's "Sonata No. 8"
playing on stereo )

TRIVETTE:
Beethoven's "Sonata No. 8."

It's a nice touch.

( shuts off music )

All right, the guy survives
by paying attention to detail.

Hasn't been here
very long.

There's not even
a pair of shoes on the floor.

Efficient, precise,

everything in its place.

That means he and my mother
would've been like this:

He was just here, Trivette.

Let's go.

Brouchard's around here,
Trivette.

I'll go this way.

( crowd chattering )

( tense theme playing )

( crowd chattering )

My professional integrity
tells me no.

But for another 5 million,
I'll make an exception.

( tense, mysterious
theme playing )

( crowd chattering )

Brouchard.

( dramatic theme playing )

( dramatic theme playing )

These are the blueprints
of the Fine Arts Center.

The guests
will be arriving at 7,

so we have to have
the bomb squad out by 6:30.

And Arlington P.D.'s
loaning us their canine unit.

What about
metal detectors?

The Charity Board has asked us
to keep a low profile if we can.

We'll go with wands. Two in the
front, one in the back.

Who's checking
service personnel?

We're getting a list
of who's working

from the facility manager
and the caterer.

And Fine Arts Security
will check all ID's.

Here's a list of the entourage
that's arriving

with the band
and the master of ceremonies.

Walker, could I see
you and Mr. Rodriguez

for a minute, please?

What's up?

I just heard downstairs
that the Texas Rangers

have been taken off
security detail.

What are you talking about?

Apparently Larry Tekler
has contacted Washington,

and he's being put in charge
of security.

Does Colonel Mendoza
know about this?

No, and he won't be
happy about it.

But he does
have to go along with

whatever Washington arranges.

( workers chattering )

OFFICER:
Okay, and regarding
identification, sir?

TEKLER:
I want ID's checked on anybody
coming in and out of here.

And let's get padlocks on
every one of these doors

except for
the main entrance.

Okay. You boys,
come with me, then.
Right?

You can't do that,
Tekler.

Fire code requires
that all exits be kept open.

That's not my problem.

If you're in charge,
it's your problem.

ALEX:
It's also against the law.

We could enjoin the facility
from holding this event tonight.

Fine.

I'll take all the locks
off the doors.

Anything else you'd like?

Whose idea was it

to take the Rangers
off security?

That's mine. Brouchard's slipped
through Walker's fingers twice.

Since you can't seem
to get the job done,

now it's time
for me to take over.

You're an idiot, Tekler.

Hey, did you hear
what he just called me?

He was being kind.

You,

I don't want that Walker
anywhere near Mendoza.

Now, you got that clear?

Yes, sir, Mr. Tekler.
You got it.

All right,
and let's put padlocks

on every one
of these doors now.

( ominous theme playing )

On schedule.

Proceed.

I'm gonna miss the challenge,
Walker.

( suspenseful theme playing )

( grunting )

Let's go.

( truck beeping )

NEWSCASTER:
Scotland Yard announced today

it has identified a suspect

in last week's
London assassination

of Russian dissident
scientist Yuri Kazmorov.

( bones crack )

Computer enhancement

from a crime-scene
surveillance camera

has produced the image of a man
investigators believe to be

Philippe Brouchard,

the notorious
international assassin.

Brouchard has been suspected

in more than a dozen killings
around the globe.

His whereabouts remain unknown.

Argh!

So, what do you think?

I think...

he's the most
dangerous man I've ever known.

( slow swing music playing )

( talking indistinctly )

( all chattering )

You know,
this is really nice.

It's too bad
Walker couldn't make it.

He doesn't know
what he's missing.

Now, are you talking
about the charity ball,

or are you talking about
being with me?

Why, you, of course,
darling.

( laughing )
Well,

this old horse
can still cut a rug.

Checklist.

Green on board.
Brown on board.

Blue on board.

Gray on board.

Red on board.

Black, Purple and Orange
on board.

( applause )

HOST:
Good evening, everyone,
and welcome

to the Dallas
Crime Prevention Council's

Ninth Annual Fundraiser.

I'm Robert Andrews,
your host.

Before we get started tonight,

I'd like to introduce
two very special guests.

First, the lieutenant governor
of Texas, Mr. John Tenner.

( applause )

And from Mexico,

presidential candidate
Colonel Rafael Mendoza.

Please stand.

MAN ( on TV ):
He's a man of high intelligence
and unlimited cunning.

A man without any known
political affiliation

or loyalty.

Philippe Brouchard
is a mercenary

who kills
for the highest bidder.

( tape rewinding )

( applause )

Without any known political
affiliation or loyalty.

Philippe Brouchard
is a mercenary

who kills
for the highest bidder.

His knowledge of weapons
and explosives is extensive.

Miss Cahill,
you look lovely this evening.

You seem to be enjoying
yourself, Mr. Tekler.

I am enjoying myself.
What's not to enjoy?

Everything's going
according to plan,

and I don't see
one bellicose Ranger in sight.

Excuse me.

HOST:
The emphasis tonight, of course,

is on crime and money,

which means
before it's over,

we're going to try
to pick your pocket

for the Crime Prevention
Council.

But right now, the man
that you have all come here

to see and hear tonight.

He is near and dear
to the heart of every Texan.

Please help me welcome
Mr. Ross Perot.

( applause )

( as Ross Perot )
All right then,
let's see.

Oh, come on, now.

Give me a big Texas welcome
or I'll fire all of you.

( applause )

Now, it's great to be here
for the Ninth Annual

Dallas Crime Prevention
Council's Fundraiser.

Give us your dough,
and away they go.

( all laughing )

FRED:
Let's remember one thing.

Our country is in deep bootie,

so you gotta lift the hood
to fix the engine.

And you gotta measure twice,
cut once.

( all laughing )
(speaking indistinctly )

Okay, Mendoza's got five public
appearances scheduled this week.

All right, two colleges,
a televised town meeting,

then he goes to Denton
for a stadium rally.

On Thursday,
he's in Fort Worth

for an address
to the International--

It's going down tonight.

( dramatic theme playing )

( normal voice )
Politics is great
for a guy like me,

because every four years,
somebody new comes along

that I can impersonate.

Now, you've got Bob Dole.

Every time the man speaks

sounds like trying
to find a radio station.

( as Bob Dole )
I'm gonna--

Me-- My--

Then you've got the president
of the United States.

He's here tonight.
Bill Clinton.

( all laughing )

( as Bill Clinton )
I got the job,
now what do I do?

( laughing )

How's everything
look out here? All set?

You know,
I am so sick and tired

of people saying
that I am trying to emulate JFK.

I am not trying to emulate JFK.

( as John F. Kennedy )
And I'm sure, as time goes on,

people will see programs
of my administration

are the programs
that belong to me...

( as Clinton )
...and to nobody else.

I'll tell you the truth...

Keep a sharp eye out.
Right.

( dramatic theme playing )

TRIVETTE:
How do you know
it's gonna come down tonight?

WALKER:
Because if I was Brouchard,

I would.

( as Clinton )
I keep hearing
I go backwards on things.

I don't go back--
( imitates reversing tape )

I don't go backwards
on anything.

( suspenseful theme playing )

Colonel.
Mm?

Do not react in any way.
Please walk with me to the door.

FRED:
...my relationship with Hillary,
you know, the First Lady,

but I do think that we have done
a superlative job...

Excuse us. El colonel
has a telephone call.

I don't think so.

( gun cocks )

( dramatic theme playing )

FRED:
I think that it's time
for people to understand

that they should step up
and be recognized, but--

( Fred laughing )

Well, excuse me, son,
but don't you know

it is impolite

to interrupt the president
of the United States?

( crowd laughs )

How funny
do you think this is?

( gunshot )

( dramatic theme playing )

Oh, no. Oh, no.

Ladies and gentlemen...

...let me introduce myself.
My name is Mr. White.

My associates and I have
completely sealed this building.

You are now our captives.

( crowd screaming )

Stay where you are, old man!

Unless you want to die.

( ominous theme playing )

( dramatic theme playing )

( sirens wailing )

This is Alan Duffy live
with our Action 5 minicam.

An incredible story
unfolding tonight

here at the Dallas
Fine Arts Center.

Police tell us terrorists
have seized the building

and are holding
Lieutenant Governor Tenner,

Mexican presidential candidate
Rafael Mendoza,

and nearly 200 guests
as hostages.

The terrorists
demand the release

of imprisoned Central American
drug lord Ernesto Espinoza.

TEKLER:
Somebody's gonna pay.

Look, I want this entire
facility sealed off!

Do you understand?

And my sharpshooters.
Where are my sharpshooters?

I want sharpshooters
up there on that roof!

Put a man on every
one of these corners.

What happened?

I should've figured
you'd show up.

I'm in charge.
He asked what happened.

What's it look like happened?

Brouchard took over
the building.

I need a battering ram
up there now.

You can't batter
your way in there.

Look, I didn't get
where I am by backing down,

and I'm not
about to back down now.

I'm surely not gonna
hand over to this man in here

a convicted drug lord.

What are you talking about?

Brouchard
wants Espinoza released

in exchange for the hostages.

That doesn't make sense.

Look, I'm in charge here,
Walker.

Will you let me figure that out?

He's gonna get
somebody killed.

Mendoza busted Espinoza
a long time ago.

What's that about?

Brouchard came here
to take out Mendoza,

not trade for someone.

We gotta figure out
how to get in there.

I got an idea.

( all chattering )

MAN:
Get down!

You're all behaving
extremely well.

You have my heartfelt
appreciation.

We know who you are,
Brouchard.

Let them go.
It's me you want.

No, colonel,
it's Ernesto Espinoza I want.

You and the lieutenant governor
are simply a means to an end.

I thought
you wanted to kill me.

Well, I've changed my plans.

Now I want the release of
Espinoza from prison.

Then I'll kill you.

What about the rest of us?

( ominous theme playing )

He's gonna kill us,
isn't he?

I just don't know.

He's crazy
as a peach-orchard boar.

( tense theme playing )

Ooh.
You sure got here fast.

Like I said on the phone,
I'm in a hurry.

What have you got?

Hey, listen, hero, getting into
that building, Cordell,

that's no walk in the park,
you know.

I've been pushing
the old brain cells into action.

And seems to me

I might just have the answer
for you right back here.

Oh, good. I was hoping
you could help.

Well, don't count
your chickens yet.

But I surely do love to tinker,
you know. That's a fact.

They don't call me
"Old Wizard-Breath" for nothing.

Here we go.

Now, this is
my rocket-belt pack.

This'll launch a man

as high as the roof
of that Fine Arts building.

But why do you need it?

Well, if they have
guards on the roof,

they'd spot a chopper.

Well, there's a hitch,
Cordell.

A hitch?
Yeah, fact is,

I never did get around to really
testing the damn thing.

You haven't?
No.

So you might wind up
on the moon, for all I know,

or a grease spot
on the pavement.

( sighs )

Well, we'll see.

( sighs )

Everything is under control.

Let them know
that we mean business.

You're not gonna
believe this.

Tekler ordered a P.D. chopper
to put some men on the roof.

You can't
put a chopper up there.

I can and I will.

Brouchard
will have men up there.

In a minute, so will I.

( dramatic theme playing )

Agh!

( women scream )

Stupid--

You know, Cordell,

the more
I think about this,

the less I like it.

Well, it's too late now,
Russell.

It's gonna take me hours

to teach you what you
need to know.

We don't have hours.
We have to do it now.

MAN:
Go around
to the service entrance.

Your partner's a madman.

He's not gonna stand around

waiting for more people
to get murdered.

( cell phone rings )
Neither am I.

BROUCHARD:
Sending in the chopper
was stupid, Mr. Tekler.

Look, that was
out of my control.

I did not authorize
that assault on you.

Then I suggest
you act wisely now.

I'm waiting
for your reply, Tekler.

Are you releasing Espinoza?

That's certainly an option.

Look, I wanna work
with you, Brouchard.

No, you can't negotiate
with Brouchard.

First, I gotta know

what you're willing
to give up in return.

I told you, Tekler,

I'll give you the lives
of these hostages.

Look, why don't you just send
a few people outside first.

Show to my superiors
that you mean business?

You don't think
I mean business?

That's easy.

No, no, no!

( screaming )

( woman screaming )

MAN:
Hold it! Somebody's coming out!

You all right?

Don't think about it.

Don't even think about it
or I'll kill the others.

Now, stay back. Stay back.

Get in there.
Get in there!

You're unbelievable.

MAN:
Sir, she's not breathing.

All right,
you made your point, Brouchard.

You have two hours
to turn over Espinoza to me.

Two hours? No, I can't.

There's no way
that I'm gonna get him by then.

Do it, Tekler, or another
hostage will be killed

every 15 minutes
past the deadline.

Tekler's not listening
to reason.

He's playing
with people's lives.

Brouchard has dumped
his first body out the front.

Just a minute. Hey!

Tell me you're not doing
what I think you're about to do.

If I get inside,
I'll call you.

Walker, this is nuts.

Tell me about it.

Well, let's see what
this thing can do.

All right,
all right.

Right is for throttle,

left is for turning.
Okay.

( jet pack hissing )

You built that?

( chuckles )

( tense theme playing )

( gun cocks )

Move and you're dead.

Stand up slowly,

put your hands
behind your head.

Do it or I'll blow you away
right here.

BROUCHARD:
Red, report.

Red, report.

Station Red, report in now.

WALKER:
Red, report.

You're cutting out, Red.
Report back in ten minutes. Out.

( ominous theme playing )

MAN:
Get down.

What do you think
is gonna happen to us?

I wish I could
tell you something

that would make you
feel better, Alex.

These snakes
are capable of anything.

That doesn't give us
much hope.

Not until they make
a mistake.

Walker said Philippe Brouchard
never makes a mistake.

Oh, no.

They all make a mistake
sooner or later.

Shut up, old man.

( ominous theme playing )

( suspenseful theme playing )

( cell phone rings )
Walker?

Trivette, I'm in.

You had us worried out here.

Cordell, did the belt work okay?

It was quite a ride, Russell.

Gotta go.

What did he say?

He's okay. He's okay.

( suspenseful theme playing )

( high-pitched hissing )

( high-pitched hissing )

( grunting )

( high-pitched hissing )

Station to teams, report.

Station to teams, report.

Station to Brown, report.

Brown reporting.

( ominous theme playing )

Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy,
here comes trouble.

Ranger Trivette?

What?

What's this I hear about Walker
catapulting himself to the roof?

It was more like flying
than catapulting.

Oh, it was exhilarating,
if I do say so myself.

I want that lunatic
back down here immediately.

Can't do it.
He's already inside.

But he can't do that.

You don't know my partner
very well, do you?

I'll have his badge for this.

Working in direct violation
of my orders.

It's time
you figured out something.

Walker doesn't work for you
and neither do I.

I could have you
written up for that, Ranger.

Need a pen?

The wuss.

( suspenseful theme playing )

( grunting )

( faintly ):
Get me outta here!

Hey, open the door!

Untie them
and go hide someplace.

( tense theme playing )

Ranger Walker.

You continue to amaze me.

Yes,
I know your name, Walker,

from the television reports
of your heroic act.

Saving Mendoza's life.

I know all about you, Walker.

I thought we might be meeting
again so I researched you.

All about your impressive
achievements

with the Texas Rangers.

Unfortunately, Walker,

all that is about to end.

You should've spent
more time planning

and less researching,
Brouchard,

because I'm gonna take you down.

You're good, Walker,
but you're not as good as I am.

We'll see, won't we?

( dramatic theme playing )

WARDEN:
I can't believe
anybody would sign off on this.

Got a lot of lives
at stake, warden.

Ernesto Espinoza,

Sergeant James Trivette
of the Texas Rangers.

He'll be escorting you
back to Dallas.

Well, well.
Go Long Trivette.

Dallas Cowboy wide receiver.

I'm a football fan.

I'd better not try

escaping on foot, verdad?

Not if you know
what's good for you.

Oh, but I do, Ranger.

That's why I always hire
the best men to work for me,

like Philippe Brouchard.

It's a work of art

how he's making it happen,
isn't it?

Gotta pull it off first.
Thanks, warden.

I'm a confident man, Ranger.
Are you?

( suspenseful theme playing )

( blows landing )

Mr. Brouchard.

Mr. Brouchard, please.

There's no need to endanger
these innocent people.

I don't remember asking you,
lieutenant governor.

I know,
but I have to speak out.

You have Colonel Mendoza
and me.

Let the rest go.

Gag him.

If he gives you any trouble,
kill him.

( hostages murmuring )

( woman gasps )

C.D.,
what are we gonna do?

Over to my right,
a knife under the table.

No, can't.

I don't know what to do.

( suspenseful theme playing )

( grunts )

( dramatic theme playing )

Trivette, what's our status?

Tekler went for the trade.

I'm en route
with Espinoza right now.

How about you?

Well, Brouchard
knows I'm inside.

He just doesn't know where.

How are C.D. and Alex?

They're fine so far.

All right, we're almost there.

What's the plan?

As soon as I get Brouchard
in the clear

I'm gonna take him down.

Cutting it close,
aren't you?

Brouchard gave you
a deadline.

Believe me, he'll not
waiver from that.

Whatever.

Philippe is an incredible man.

Human life
means nothing to him.

He'll kill everyone

if he gets cornered
by the police.

That's unlike you, right?

As I remember,

you didn't put up
much of a fight

when Mendoza took you down.

Hey, I never claimed
to be a bright man,

nor stupid.

( chuckling )

( dramatic theme playing )

We're not sure exactly

what's here tonight
at this point

but we'll be back just as soon
as we know more about this.

( helicopter whirring
outside )

( hostages whispering
indistinctly )

( gun cocks )

I'm impressed, sir.

Staring into
the face of death itself

and still defiant.

I been watching
punks like you

for most of my
adult life.

I'm a Texas Ranger.

Ain't nothing remarkable
about you, punk.

What did you think you were
going to do with a knife?

Ranger?

Take me?

Well, that thought
did cross my mind.

Could be interesting.

Pick up the knife.

( tense theme playing )

Pick up the knife, old man.

I'll just take a pass on it.

We'll fight another day.

Pick up the knife,
you stupid old man.

Hold him.

Here's your knife, old man.

( hostages gasp )

( hostages scream )

The man needs help, Brouchard.

I'll give him 30 minutes,
if he's lucky.

Did you see that, Walker?

I wonder if the old man
was a friend of yours?

Too bad.

( hostages murmuring )

Get into the catwalk.
Check it out.

( dramatic theme playing )

( hostages screaming )

( blows landing,
man grunting )

( man yelling )

( crashing )

Oh, you are good, Walker.

That was a clever little stunt.

But my men will get you
eventually.

I'm just warming up, Brouchard.

Too bad your plan
is falling apart.

You have no idea
what my plan is, Walker.

Why don't you tell me?

You'll find out soon enough.

( ominous theme playing )

( dramatic theme playing )

( cracking )

( suspenseful theme playing )

( grunting )

( grunting )

Time to go to sleep, Walker.

( gasping, grunting )

Aagh!

( grunting )

BROUCHARD ( on radio ):
Time is drawing near, Walker.

If Espinoza isn't here
in ten minutes,

would you like to know who
my next victim is going to be?

A very close friend of yours,
I believe.

( gasps )

Tell him your name,

( tense theme playing )

or I shoot you now.

ALEX:
It's Alex.

BROUCHARD:
Were you listening?

Cordell will follow you
to the gates of hell.

I don't care who you shoot,

punk.

Shut up, old man.

( panting )

( action theme playing )

Fourth down, Ranger.

Miles to go.

Game's not over yet, Espinoza.

( phone rings )

TEKLER:
Okay, Brouchard,

we've got Ernesto Espinoza

as promised.

Wonderful, Tekler.

Now arrange for the exchange
of hostages as we agreed.

( whispering inaudibly )

He's getting worse.

He's going into shock.

Tough old man.
I thought he'd be dead by now.

Walker,

I know you're listening.

You wanted to know
what my plan was.

Well, now you're gonna find out.

Shall we dance, colonel?

Aagh.

The hostage situation
appears to have taken

a turn for the worse.

( tense theme playing )

( phone rings )

I'm waiting, Tekler.

Why don't I see Espinoza?

Before anything goes down,

my superiors want
20 hostages released.

Don't play with me, Tekler.

TEKLER:
Look, it's out of my hands,
Brouchard.

Washington wants a sign
of good faith.

Ten.

Twenty.

All right, the first ten alive,

the rest not.

Brouchard, for God's sake.

It doesn't get better,
boy scout.

Take it or leave it.

Okay, okay.

Ten.

What about Colonel Mendoza
and the lieutenant governor?

Don't get greedy, Tekler.

Espinoza must be released first.

( excited chatter )

Bring me ten people. Now.

( nervous chatter )

Shh.

It won't be long now, colonel.

( chatter on police radio )

( indistinct shouting,
gasping )

COP:
All right.

I know how they feel.

Freedom. I can taste it.

Don't get used to it.

Brouchard wants
his buddy released. Now.

( suspenseful theme playing )

Walker.

Where are you?

I'm not going in like this.

See you around, Ranger.

Excuse me.

My friend.

( laughing )

I knew that you could do it.

So did I, Ernesto.

Ugh! Aagh!

It's your turn now, colonel.

Brouchard!

( grunts )

( both grunt )

Do something.
Get in there. Get him!

( all shouting )

( action theme playing )

I'm okay, I'm okay. Get him.

( panting )

( all shouting indistinctly )

Your friend Walker
made me look a fool.

You didn't need any help.

Get him ,get him, get him.

COP 1:
Don't move!

COP 2:
Get him, get him.

Get on the ground. Now.

( all shouting indistinctly )

COP 3:
Spread 'em.

Alex?

Jimmy, over here.

Get me a paramedic
up here right now.

( suspenseful theme playing )

( quiet grunts )

( fans humming )

( footsteps approaching )

Never met a man like you,
Walker.

That goes both ways, Brouchard.

Why did you take out Espinoza?

Well, the Tampico cartel

offered me another five million.

Couldn't pass that up.

Mendoza got away.
You're slipping.

That's what they're gonna
be saying about you, Walker,

when I escape.

It's not gonna happen.

We'll see about that, Walker.

( suspenseful theme playing )

( explosion )

Too bad.
We'd have made a good team.

( gun cocks )

( sirens blaring )

( panting )

( coughs )

( man coughs )

( gasps )

Sorry.

( man coughing )

( door opens )

( door closes )

Have you seen any strangers?

No.

Right here, Frank.

( speaks indistinctly )

Has a stranger
come through here?

Mm-mm.

( speaking indistinctly )

( grunting )

( all gasping )

( gasping )

( panicked chatter )

( grunting )

( tense theme playing )

( triumphant theme playing )

( woman speaking indistinctly )

( snoring )

( whispers):
He's asleep.

Coochie-coo.

( mutters )

Oh, golly, well,
I'm glad to see you all.

C.D., I just wanted to say
goodbye and congratulations.

Your award is beautiful.
You bet. Yes.

You get well soon.
Good luck to you.

Thank you very much.
All right, Jesse.

Goodbye, Alex.

Amigo, you take care.
See you, Jesse.

Okay.
Adiós.

( chuckles )

We are so proud of you
for winning this award.

Thank you.
TRIVETTE: Yeah, we're sorry

you didn't get a chance
to give your speech.

Yeah, yeah, I am too.

You know, I spent two weeks
on that doggone speech.

Nobody heard it. Listen, I want
you all to hear that speech.

Oh, don't we-- Yeah.
You know what? I have to--

I need your testimony.
I got that deposition.

I got to move my car
so you guys can get out.

Oh, no. No, no, no. Hell, no.
Listen to me.

All three of you sit down.

You're gonna listen
to that speech.

I put too much work into it.

( mellow theme playing )

( clears throat ):
Let me see now.

Uh, ladies and gentlemen,

distinguished guests,

fellow Texans,

members of the Dallas Crime
Prevention Council.

It is with a great deal
of humility

that I accept this award.

( clears throat )

I started my law career
about 30 years ago

in a small county
in East Texas.

--And all lawmen
stand far and large.

We must look and see
that respect.

That seems to be
the bottom line. Respect.

Hey.

Hey!

Damn, you all haven't heard
a word I said.

Hello?

Hello?

( sighs )

Shoot.

I might as well have done this
in the shower.
