MAN: All right.

That elephant's a real beaut, ain't it?

Hey, boss, what's this worth on the open market?

Twenty-five thousand, eighteen dollars.

Well, now it's only worth 25 grand.

All right, let's get to work.

I want this shipment packed

and that plane in the air in 15 minutes.

(men talking indistinctly)

It's goin' down. Now.

WALKER: Hey.

(officers yelling indistinctly)

(chatter)

Well, Rafe turned state's evidence.

Probably the smartest thing he's ever done.

ALEX: Mm-hm, he gave us the suppliers and the distributors.

Whose stomach is growling?

Gage's. Gage's stomach is always growling.

Syd, if you're hungry, just say so.

You don't have to put it off on me, okay?

My stomach only growls sometimes.

TRIVETTE: I'm done here. Who wants to go to C.D.'s?

I do. Ah.

I'm in. All right.

I wonder how Marta's makin' out?

Forget Marta. C.D.'s the one that's made out.

How is it that I buy 55 raffle tickets, he buys one.

He wins the 'round the world cruise.

It's not like you came up empty-handed.

Yeah. What was it you won again, Trivette?

I won a straw hat.

(all laughing)

TRIVETTE: I gave it to Big Dog

because he obviously can use it better than I can.

Well, I wonder if Marta's gonna change C.D.'s.

Oh, no, no. C.D.'s is a historical landmark.

A great man once said "you can never change C.D.'s."

(traditional Mexican music playing)

(singing in Spanish)

(chatter)

Hola, Marta.

(speaks in Spanish)

Wow. Welcome.

Hey, wow. Welcome to C.D.'s Cantina.

MARTA: So what do you think of the place? You like it?

Mm-hm.

It's great. I think it looks wonderful.

Different.

Did C.D. say you could do this?

Oh, yes.

He said his casa, mi casa.

It's a casa.

You know, I wonder what C.D.

is doing right this very minute?

Well, he sailed out of San Francisco today,

and he promised that he would send us a postcard

from every port, so we should be hearing from him any day now.

What about a cruise?

A cruise for our honeymoon?

We've already done that.

That was a river raft.

Close. Oh.

(all laughing)

Oh, hey, Walker, remember what Commander Briscoe told you.

( mysterious theme playing)

What?

Commander Briscoe said that if he needed any time

to prepare for the wedding, please do so.

Ah. TRIVETTE: Yep.

That's wonderful. You can help me with the wedding plans.

Great.

Oh, you guys, I gotta go.

Where to? I got a lecture at SMU.

A police science class. Marta, awesome.

Isn't it great?

You're gonna have some time off so you can help me.

Great. Mm-hm.

TRIVETTE: Computers have revolutionized police work.

For me in a normal week I use mine

to check forensics results, criminal records,

link up with international law enforcement agencies.

It's invaluable, so learn how to use it.

Make it your friend, but remember it's only a tool.

It'll never replace good old-fashioned shoe leather.

You gotta get out in the field, knock on the doors,

talk to the people.

Let's review.

(chatter)

( mellow theme playing)

Walker, if we don't register,

then people don't know what to get us.

I mean, that's how they keep track.

Otherwise, we'll end up with like five toasters.

How about a dog?

No.

Let's start with silverware.

(chatter)

Ranger Trivette? Yes?

Erika Carter. Is it possible to develop new evidence

from an old crime scene? Yeah, sure it is.

Sometimes fresh eyes see new things,

or the same old evidence differently.

Yeah, it's a good question. Why?

Well, it's... It's kind of personal,

but I-I'm tryin' to lay the groundwork for an appeal.

All right. What you need is to find something

to refute the evidence that convicted the man or woman

in the first place. It's a man.

My father.

What was he convicted of?

Murder.

Look, I know you probably hear this all the time,

but he didn't do it.

I know my father, and he's not capable of murder,

and I'm gonna prove it, one way or another.

You wanna talk about this?

More than anything, yeah.

Okay, let's grab some coffee.

Okay.

( ominous theme playing)

(door opens)

( mellow theme playing)

Walker, look at this.

It kind of has a Western motif.

Motif?

You know, Western... Southwestern flair.

I know what motif means, Alex,

but what do the Taiwanese know about Southwest?

All right.

So which pattern do you like?

I don't know.

How 'bout this?

I like it.

See? This isn't so hard.

My dad, his name is Fred Carter.

He worked in maintenance at the Franklin Center.

That's the new building on Henderson?

Yeah, that's the one, Ranger Trivette.

Jimmy.

Right, Jimmy.

Anyway, they couldn't fill their office space in the first year,

the way my dad told it, so they had to downsize.

So your father got fired?

Yeah, he was summoned by the chief financial officer,

a man named Davis.

Mr. Davis gave my dad one week's notice

and two week's pay.

Sounds pretty generous. Yeah, my dad thought so too,

and then three weeks later

Mr. Davis was found in the basement.

He was beaten to death with one of my dad's tools.

How did your father explain that?

Well, he had a whole truckload of tools, Jimmy.

I mean, whoever did this had all the time in the world

to steal one of my dad's wrenches.

So where was your father

when this Davis guy was killed?

He was on a fishing trip.

He go with anybody?

No, he, uh... He likes to fish alone.

So nobody saw him?

Well, there was this really weird guy out there

while he was fishing.

He just kept watchin' him, and when my dad said hello,

he just kind of stared at him and then he ran off.

And nobody located this guy to question him?

Well, they couldn't find him.

The police tried

and I've probably been out there more than anybody.

Who's your lawyer?

Some public defender

who was overworked and underpaid.

May I have two coffees, please?

You're talkin' to other lawyers, though?

I can't afford anybody good.

That's why I'm takin' this class.

MAN: Two coffees, sir.

Thank you.

Let me ask you somethin'.

In your mind and in your heart,

you're sure that your father didn't kill this guy?

I know he didn't kill him,

and I'm not gonna stop until I prove it.

If he didn't do it, then who do you think did?

I don't know, Jimmy,

but my guess is it's somebody in that office.

You know, somebody powerful enough

to be able to frame my dad and make it stick.

All right, I'm not promising anything,

but if you want me to, I'll talk to your father.

Thank you, Jimmy.

You bet. Come on.

Those are gorgeous.

And expensive.

Okay. Well, let's pick out some china.

Do any of these patterns jump out at you or speak to you?

Yeah, they do speak to me,

but they're speaking French,

so I don't understand what they're saying.

(laughing)

What about these?

Alex, I don't understand.

There's gonna be food on it,

so what difference does it make?

Walker, would you show some enthusiasm here?

How about me showing a little enthusiasm on our wedding night?

(laughing)

Very funny.

I'm not gonna let you marry him.

You're violating the restraining order, Alan.

WOMAN: Just leave now. ALAN: Listen to me.

ALAN: If you don't marry me, you ain't marrying anybody.

Leave me alone. I'm not gonna leave you alone.

Now come on. That hurts. You're hurting me.

Sir, would you mind taking your argument outside?

Butt out.

WOMAN: Just let, ow, go of me.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

You heard the lady.

Oh, you can't mind your own business either, huh?

I'm a Texas Ranger, now back off.

Heh, I don't care.

STORE MANAGER: Easy now.

CROWD: Oh, oh.

(china clanging)

(grunts)

(china clanging)

CROWD: Oh!

(exhales)

That's enough.

I don't think so.

( dramatic theme playing)

( heroic theme playing)

OFFICER: Come on, get on your feet.

That's it.

Officer, this is the lady that was attacked.

OFFICER: Ma'am, would you come with us and make a statement, please?

Gladly.

That was spectacular. Thank you.

Thank you so much. That guy could've cost us a fortune.

Thank you.

Thanks again.

(men yelling indistinctly)

( melancholic theme playing)

(chatter)

Daddy, what happened to your eye?

Oh, nothin', child.

Just a little accident.

Do I know this young fella?

He wants to know who you are.

Sir, my name is James Trivette. I'm a Texas Ranger.

Daddy, he wants to know your side of it.

Well, why has a Texas Ranger got time in his busy day

to hear my side of it?

Ranger Trivette was lecturing at my police science class.

Your daughter's very persuasive.

(laughs)

Yeah, she gets that from her mama, God rest her soul.

Okay, now close your eyes. Why?

Because it's a taste test.

(exhales)

All right, take a bite.

Open wider.

(laughs)

What do you think?

Hm, it's good.

Okay.

Keep your eyes closed.

Okay.

(laughing)

What do you think?

Good.

Good as in better or worse than the first one?

As in they're both good.

Okay, open your eyes.

You're no help at all.

Yeah, but I'm full.

Anyway, I was fixin' the light switch on the top floor

when I heard the boss, Mr. Franklin, and Mr. Davis

arguin' about money.

Now I didn't hear the particulars,

but they almost came to blows.

What about money?

Somethin' about the books.

Huh.

Mr. Davis called Franklin a liar.

Did they see you?

Well, Franklin did.

Didn't seem none too happy about it, either.

Tell me about the man you saw on your fishing trip.

Oh, that fella.

Looked like he's living up there.

You know, long hair, full beard.

I'd say 40s, 50s. Hard to tell.

And he saw you? You're sure he saw you?

Well, he was starin' at me, Ranger.

He wasn't more than a stone's throw

from where I had my line in.

He say anything to you?

No. I said somethin' to him.

I asked him if he was all right, then I got a bite.

Shucks, I looked up, the fella was gone.

Where was this?

Lake Gregory, north shore.

So that's a full day's drive.

If this man saw you on October the 15th,

the day of the murder,

then you can't be in two places at the same time.

That's what I been sayin', Ranger.

You know this area?

I covered every inch of it durin' the trial,

but I couldn't find anyone.

ERIKA: So what do we do now?

Sir, I'm gonna take a trip over to Franklin Center.

Then your daughter and I, we're gonna go over to Lake Gregory.

We're gonna see if we can find this witness of yours.

I'm gonna let her say goodbye now.

Bye, Daddy.

Bye, baby.

I love you.

Okay.

Walker, can I ask you a question?

Yeah, sure.

Am I gonna be able to make

a few little changes around the ranch?

Sure.

What do you have in mind?

Well, you know,

just make it a little less masculine.

A little more like a married couple's.

Hm.

Okay, uh...

What kind of changes are you thinkin' about?

Well, like maybe this lamp.

WALKER: Alex,

that lamp and I have... We go back a long way.

(laughs)

I can see this is gonna be a real challenge.

( ominous theme playing)

Hello.

Ranger Trivette to see Mr. Franklin, please.

Do you have an appointment?

No. Do I need one?

WOMAN: I'm afraid so.

Breen?

Hey, what are you doin' here?

Your boss in there talkin' to Mr. Franklin?

Not happy to see me?

TRIVETTE: Don't... Don't do that. Put that down.

Can I help you, Ranger?

Mr. Franklin? Mm-hm.

Yeah, I need to talk to you for a second.

So, what can I do for you?

I wanna talk to you about Fred Carter.

Fred Carter killed a good man,

a good friend of mine,

all because he lost his job.

What more do you need to know?

Hey, Russo, give me a few minutes out here, all right?

Why don't you tell me what you were arguing about

with Mr. Davis three weeks before the killing?

I have no recollection of any argument.

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

Well, Mr. Carter has a memory of it.

He says you two almost came to blows.

Sir, I graduated second in my class

at Harvard Business School,

and Mr. Carter... well, I don't know,

but I think any reasonable person

would trust my memory over his.

How 'bout you?

Me? I'm wondering what kind of business

you're doing with Vic Russo.

( suspenseful theme playing)

Mr. Russo's interested in getting

into real estate development.

I was just dispensing some free advice.

Old pals?

Will there be anything else?

I'll let you know.

Hey, Russo? He's all yours.

You can get back to your real estate developing.

(door opening)

What the hell did he want?

He was here about the Carter case, Vic.

I don't like this. I don't like this at all.

Yeah, well, that makes two of us.

The case was supposed to be closed.

What the hell is this Trivette doing on it?

He asked me about the argument that I had with Davis.

That means Carter talked to him, and if Carter convinced him

about the beef you had with Davis,

he probably sold him on the guy in the woods who saw him.

I know Trivette.

He's gonna be huntin' that guy big time.

You told me there was no guy, Vic.

We looked for him.

We never found him.

If Trivette finds him,

there's gonna be trouble.

Great.

So what do we do?

Breen, I want you and Sal on Trivette.

I wanna know where he goes, what he does, what he finds.

What do we do if he finds this guy out in the woods?

(scoffs)

Kill him.

( dramatic theme playing)

(suspenseful theme playing)

Hey, guys. Hey.

Wanna hear somethin' curious?

GAGE: What's that?

Guess who I ran into while having a chat

with Dennis Franklin? SYDNEY: Who?

Vic Russo. SYDNEY: Russo?

TRIVETTE: Yeah. He's a major player.

What's he doin' at the Franklin Center?

That's what I wanna know.

How you comin' on the Cullen homicide?

I'm just finishing up the paperwork right now.

Yeah. What do you need? I need you to follow Russo.

Find out where he goes, who he sees, what he's into.

I wanna know how he's makin' his money these days.

Okay. Where you gonna be?

I'm goin' to Lake Gregory. I need to find a witness.

(horn honks)

( suspenseful theme playing)

( dramatic theme playing)

Pure Egyptian cotton.

The finest warp and weft.

Hm.

Ah, 400 count.

That's as good as it gets.

What?

How did you know that?

Well, there's more to me than meets the eye, Alex.

I like what meets the eye just fine.

( tender theme playing)

Should we take it?

( jazzy theme playing)

(clears throat)

So, Syd, I've got... I've got some good news

and I've got some bad news.

Okay.

I talked to my source

and I found out that Russo eats lunch every day

at the Million Dollar Saloon like clockwork.

That's a strip... Yes, it is a gentleman's club.

And, of course, one of us is gonna have to go undercover

and, um, well, I... I don't think

that I can fit into this, so...

So, Gage, what's the good news?

They have a great buffet.

Never mind. I mean, I heard.

Well, her mother's in the hospital so Vittorio

We must've hit 50 gas stations,

Erika, all those notes you took in my lecture,

you're gonna tell me you don't remember

the fundamental part of police work?

I know. The shoe leather. Putting in the time.

So?

Let's do 51.

Better make sure and put the tape in this time.

Very funny.

Hey, you know, I never figured Walker for the marrying type.

Are you kidding me?

Walker's the perfect marrying type.

He's ethical, he's honest, caring, strong.

What else could a woman want? No, no, no, it's not that.

It's just him and Alex have a good thing going.

Sometimes as soon as you tie the knot a relationship goes sour?

Oh, that is so bogus. Do you know how many times

when you tie the knot it enriches a relationship?

Maybe brings it to another level?

Ah, never mind. It's kind of a guy thing.

You wouldn't understand.

Wait. It's kind of a what?

They don't call it the old ball and chain for nothing.

Oh, get out. Out. Out of the car right now.

Okay, fine. I'll take a break.

Hey. Hey, Russo.

( dramatic theme playing)

So how about your man Breen?

Did he come up with anything yet?

That's my business, Dennis.

That's what I do.

I think you should stay focused on what you do.

I just don't like it.

Dennis, I don't care what you like.

Now everything was going fine

until your pal Davis became a boy scout.

You hired him, Dennis.

His blood's on your hands because you lied to him.

You're the one who didn't tell him

this place was built with mob money.

And I wish I never agreed to that.

Well, you did, and now it's too late.

Fred Carter is innocent.

And now we have to prove it.

(birds chirping)

I didn't know this was here.

Yeah. Come on.

Good afternoon, sir.

I'm a Texas Ranger. My name's James Trivette.

I'd like to ask you a few questions. Ask away.

We're looking for a man that's been sighted in the area.

He's got long hair and a beard.

He's kind of a loner type.

Might be living on the north shore.

It's very important that we contact this man.

His name is Mark.

Shows up here every couple of months or so.

Special orders. Cash on the barrel head.

What kind of special orders?

Well, history books. Oh, mighty dry reading.

Uh, sir, would you happen to have any kind of record of that?

Oh, sure do, ma'am.

(beeping)

Jimmy, look.

"Mark, October 15th."

My father was right. He is here.

Oh, yeah. Fishes the lake year around.

Uh, but you ain't gonna find him on the north shore.

Why not?

It's wintertime, and he goes where the fish are biting,

and in the winter, that's on the south shore.

Better get down there and set up camp while the sun's still good.

Thank you, sir. Thank you.

You won't need any supplies or anything?

No, we're fine. Thank you.

Cheap people.

Hungry? Yeah, a little.

All right.

( ominous theme playing)

BREEN: Looks like they're setting up camp.

Should we take 'em out?

No.

Let's see if they can find this guy.

Then we'll take 'em all out.

Coffee.

(yawns)

Smells great.

Hey, want some?

Yeah.

Oh.

Whoo.

Sorry, I don't have any cream and sugar.

It's all right.

How long you been up?

I just got up.

( mellow theme playing)

I was gonna ask you something.

What's that?

Well, I was gonna ask

why a good-looking Texas Ranger like you isn't married,

but I think I answered my own question.

You did?

Yeah. It's all the time you put in.

Doesn't seem like you have much room for anything else.

It's not the time. It's... What's that?

What?

( dramatic theme playing)

ERIKA: Look at that.

Nobody's here.

(gun cocks)

Hold it right there.

( suspenseful theme playing)

What are you doing here?

Looking for you.

My name's James Trivette. I'm a Texas Ranger.

Your badge.

Easy.

Are you Mark?

You said you were looking for me.

How did you know my name?

You saw my father on the north shore.

He was fishing.

I see people come and go.

They don't usually see me.

He saw you.

Mister, please, this is very important.

My father's been accused of a murder he didn't commit.

Now, he said that he saw you

on that particular day of the murder.

Yeah.

Yeah, I remember him.

He was in my fishing spot.

I'd just come back from Buck's with my new books.

You sure of that?

I'm sure.

That's it. We have it.

Are you willing to testify to that?

No, sir, I'm not.

What?

Now, I... I don't understand.

Sir, you answer a few questions and an innocent man goes free.

An innocent man?

I put an innocent man away.

He died in prison.

I'll never step into a courtroom again.

What are you talking about?

I was a district attorney.

Wait a minute.

I know you.

You're Mark Dunfrey, right?

You disappeared years ago.

( dramatic theme playing)

Mister, please.

If you don't come back with me...

Get down. Get down.

(Erika screams) (gunshots)

( phone ringing)

RUSSO: Yeah? Mr. Russo.

Breen. Why does the sound of your voice not bring me any joy?

Mr. Russo, it went bad.

Trivette and the girl found this guy.

Trivette took down Sal and Freddy.

Where's Trivette now?

Trivette's heading down Highway 48 in a black Mustang.

It's the only way out of here.

Okay, look. We're coming up in the chopper.

You stay on their tail.

(beeps)

We'd better call Walker now.

There.

Now, isn't that better than the old lamp?

Well, it's nice, but I sure loved that old lamp.

You'll get used to it.

That's what I'm afraid of.

(phone ringing)

Hello?

I'm on my way.

That was Sydney. They need my help.

but a haircut and a shave and I'll be fine in court.
