Original subtitles

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...

Well, 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.

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.

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 leaving.

Are you all right?

- Yeah, I'm okay. - He's okay. I'll check around the front.

How's Mendoza?

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 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.

Justin Grimes.

Formerly took his mail at Folsom Prison.

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 them.

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 pre-registered, 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? - 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, right?

I warned your federal boys to cancel this trip.

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

I thought 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.

How long will it be before we hear from these European agencies, huh?

Soon, I hope.

- Walker. - 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 lmmigration.

Get a list of all male Europeans who've arrived in Dallas

- in the last 24 hours. - All right, you got it.

- 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!

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.

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.

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?

- All right. - Congratulations.

Yeah, well, it's not official,

but one of the guys on the council digged me 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. - 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?

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.

Do 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.

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.

No sign of Brouchard here 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.

What hotel on that list has the finest wine and restaurant?

Dallas Palace.

Brouchard, a creature of comfort.

Let's check it out.

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?

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.

Klaus Braun, room 410.

Beethoven's "Sonata No. 8." It's a nice touch.

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.

My professional integrity tells me no.

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

Brouchard.

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 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.

Okay, and regarding identification, sir?

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.

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.

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.

On schedule.

Proceed.

I'm gonna miss the challenge, Walker.

Let's go.

Scotland Yard announced today it has identified a suspect

in last week's London assassination

of Russian dissident scientist Yuri Kazmorov.

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.

So, what do you think?

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

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.

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.

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.

And from Mexico,

presidential candidate Colonel Rafael Mendoza.

Please stand.

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.

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.

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.

All right then, let's see.

Oh, come on, now. Give me a big Texas welcome or I'll fire all of you.

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.

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.

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.

You see, 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.

I'm gonna... Me... My...

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

He's here tonight. Bill Clinton.

I got the job, now what do I do?

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.

And I'm sure, as time goes on,

people will see programs of my administration

are the programs that belong to me and to nobody else.

Because I'll tell you the truth...

- Keep a sharp eye out. - Right.

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

Because if I was Brouchard, I would.

I keep hearing I go backwards on things. I don't go back...

I don't go backwards on anything.

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

...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.

I think that it's time for people to understand

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

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

it is impolite to interrupt the president of the United States?

How funny do you think this is?

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.

Stay where you are, old man!

Unless you want to die.

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.

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.

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?

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

I just don't know.

He's crazy as a peach-orchard boar.

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.

- 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.

Well, we'll see.

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.

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.

Your partner's a madman.

He's not gonna stand around waiting for more people to get murdered.

Neither am I.

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.

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!

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.

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.

You built that?

Move and you're dead.

Stand up slowly, put your hands behind your head.

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

Red, report.

Red, report.

Station Red, report in now.

Red, report.

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

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.

- 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.

Station to teams, report.

Station to teams, report.

Station to Brown, report.

Brown reporting.

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.

Untie them and go hide someplace.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Get into the catwalk. Check it out.

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.

Time to go to sleep, Walker.

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.

Tell him your name

or I shoot you now.

It's Alex.

Were you listening?

Cordell will follow you to the gates of hell.

I don't care who you shoot,

punk.

Shut up, old man.

Fourth down, Ranger. Miles to go.

Game's not over yet, Espinoza.

Okay, Brouchard, we've got Ernesto Espinoza

- as promised. - Wonderful, Tekler.

Now arrange for the exchange of hostages as we agreed.

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?

The hostage situation appears to have taken a turn for the worse.

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.

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.

Bring me ten people. Now.

It won't be long now, colonel.

All right.

I know how they feel. Freedom. I can taste it.

Don't get used to it.

Brouchard wants his buddy released. Now.

Walker.

Where are you?

I'm not going in like this.

See you around, Ranger.

Excuse me.

My friend.

I knew that you could do it.

So did I, Ernesto.

It's your turn now, colonel.

Brouchard.

Do something. Get in there. Get him!

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

Your friend Walker made me look a fool.

You didn't need any help.

Get him, get him, get him.

- Alex? - Jimmy, over here.

Get me a paramedic up here right now.

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.

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

Sorry.

- Have you seen any strangers? - No.

Has a stranger come through here?

He's asleep.

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.

We are so proud of you for winning this award.

- Thank you. - 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.

Let me see now.

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.

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?

Shoot.

I might as well have done this in the shower.
