MAN: Yeah, this'll be my last run.

We drop this load,

I open up my dry cleaning shop.

With Señor Ortega's permission, of course.

Why would you wanna go to work when what we do is so easy, huh?

Easy till the cops come around.

You see any cops? I-I don't see any cops.

The cops in this country, son muy estúpidos.

(laughing)

(helicopter approaching)

( dramatic theme playing)

Ah.

Ah.

(sirens wailing)

(dispatch radio chattering)

(officers shouting)

( dramatic theme playing)

All right, that's another drug shipment

that won't make it to the streets.

That's four rigs we've taken down

in the last month from Ortega.

Pays to have a Federale on the inside.

Yeah, but we're hitting too many of these.

Cruz is gonna start getting suspicious.

You're right. Lucia's a good cop, but...

Tell you what. Next time she contacts you,

have her back off for a while.

You got it.

( dramatic theme playing)

The next shipment's coming in by plane on Wednesday

to a private airstrip seven miles south of Weatherford.

TRIVETTE: Okay, good. We'll be ready. Listen, Lucia,

Walker says he wants you to back off for a while.

Back off?

Yeah, it's starting to get too risky.

Cruz is gonna start wondering

how we know about his shipments.

Tell Ranger Walker that he doesn't need to worry.

I'm perfectly safe.

Cruz loves me.

CRUZ: Lucia!

I'll talk to you soon.

( suspenseful theme playing)

Hey.

Hey.

I just talked to Lucia.

The shipment's coming in on Wednesday.

Did you tell her to back off for a while?

Yes, I did, but I don't think

she's gonna listen to us.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(speaks Spanish)

You're my brother, Cruz,

and I mean you no disrespect,

but how can you sit there like that?

Those damn Rangers have cost us 30 million.

(speaks Spanish)

Life's too short to die of aggravation.

Aggravation. 30 million dollars.

That's true, Ramon.

They've taken down quite a bit of our shipments lately.

Not they.

Walker.

We need to do something about him.

And we will.

( mellow theme playing)

Alex, you made it.

Oh, it is so good to see you. Mm.

Wow, what a beautiful place you have.

Well, thanks. We just love it.

This is my husband, Jake.

Hello.

Jake, this is Alex Cahill,

my former colleague.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Oh, no, Alex, the pleasure's all mine.

Nicole here has told me so much about you,

I feel I already know you.

How are the wedding plans coming along?

Well, the wedding's three weeks away

and I'm five weeks behind schedule, so, great.

(both laughing)

Come on. I'll show you around.

We've got 3,000 acres in all.

Mexico on one side,

and state park land on the other.

Couple hundred head of horses, two freshwater springs,

and the kind of quiet you can't buy in Dallas.

(all laughing)

You sound like a real estate agent.

Yeah.

Hey.

Jake, Miss Foley.

Travis, Joe, this is Alex Cahill.

She's down here from Dallas. Travis is our foreman.

Pleased to meet you, ma'am.

Hi.

Uh, Jake,

we got a fence down on the south pasture.

We're gonna ride out there and round up some strays.

Okay.

Ladies.

ALEX: Well, I gotta hand it to you, Nicole.

You have found yourself

a nice little slice of paradise.

Yeah, mostly.

Mostly?

Well, we have a problem with drug mules crossing our land.

JAKE: Hell, those old Indian trails

and all the cover down by the river,

it's a perfect crossover.

They cut our fences, stampede our horses,

stealing our water.

Well, have you called the police?

Oh, you bet.

But they never get here in time.

JAKE: You know, they're good men.

They're just spread way too thin

and those drug mules are just way too smart.

It's like they always know

when it's a perfect time to come across.

You wanted to see me?

Yes, querida, I did.

Hm.

You look... delicious.

Thank you.

(both speaking Spanish)

Oh, Maria found something.

She thought it might belong to you.

Yes.

It was a gift from my sister.

Well, perhaps if I hit the redial button

we'll talk to your sister.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(phone dialing)

(line ringing)

WOMAN: Ranger Headquarters.

How may I direct your call?

( ominous theme playing)

(grunting and groaning)

( dramatic theme playing)

( ominous theme playing)

Ha, you're not Franco.

No kidding. Franco's sick.

(speaking Spanish)

Baby's gotta eat.

You got a problem with that?

Ha, I don't got a problem with that, chiquita.

I'm a liberated man.

(laughs)

But you. Heh. You don't look like Cesar.

Where are they?

( action theme playing)

(grunting and groaning)

Baby's gotta eat?

He asked.

(cell phone ringing)

Get up.

Answer it.

(ringing continues)

Hola.

It's too late, jefe.

We've already been arrested.

Sí, jefe, he's right here.

Heh. He wants to talk to you.

Yeah.

Well, Walker,

this will be the last shipment you get from us.

Say goodbye, Lucia.

LUCIA: No! Aah!

(Lucia grunts)

(phone beeps)

They got the whole shipment, the plane, the crew.

Ramon, that shipment means nothing to us.

It's like a grain of sand in the desert.

As far as Ranger Walker, some day

he must be punished for all the trouble he caused us.

As long as he is there and we are here,

I don't see how that's going to happen.

Do you remember what Apá used to tell us, hm?

Life is a mystery.

You never know

what fate has in store for us.

As long as we control the Foley Ranch,

nothing can stop us.

ALEX: Well, you ever miss the D.A.'s office?

Parts of it.

The excitement.

The feeling that

I'm accomplishing something important.

Mm-hm.

Law's like a... A calling and...

And for some people, like you,

you know, you respond to it, but for me

it just wasn't in my blood.

Not like this. Heh.

And I have a great man.

(both laughing)

(horse neighs)

ALEX: Jake, you look like you were born on that horse.

Well, who would've thought a CEO could downsize himself

into a saddle, huh?

Hon, where are you off to?

Hey, I'm gonna go help Travis with the strays.

See you a little later.

(blows kiss)

(both laughing)

(birds chirping)

( mellow theme playing)

Whoa, whoa. Whoa.

( suspenseful theme playing)

Ho, boy. Stay.

Boy, you stay.

(gun cocks)

( ominous theme playing)

(men chattering)

All right, nice and easy.

Put the guns down.

What's the trouble, señor?

These are public lands, no?

You just do what I tell you.

Put your guns down now.

Heh. Our mistake, señor.

We go back the way we came, yes?

(whistles) No.

You put the guns down like I told you.

(horse neighs)

( tense theme playing)

(speaks Spanish)

(horse neighs)

What do we got here, Jake?

Travis, come on down here.

Pick up these guns.

You get the guns, I'll call the sheriff.

You got it.

( ominous theme playing)

(grunts)

(horse neighs)

(grunts)

( dramatic theme playing)

Here.

Take these and get out of here.

Sí, Señor Travis, gracias.

(men chattering)

Damn.

( dramatic theme playing)

(dispatch radio chattering)

(sobbing)

(sirens wailing)

Walker, something terrible's happened.

What is it?

Nicole's husband, he's dead.

Somebody shot him.

I'll be right there.

Thank you.

(sobbing): Alex. God.

(crying)

( melancholy theme playing)

It's pretty cut and dried, Ranger Walker.

Old Jake run into a bunch of drug runners.

He's had trouble with 'em ever since he bought this place.

I told him to give me a call first sign of trouble,

but looks to me like he got ambushed.

You said Jake was shot at close range.

Yep.

Take a look at these prints.

Looks to me like someone came up behind Jake,

walked over to the mules,

turned around, walked back,

and shot Jake at close range.

You really think so?

Possible.

Who found the body?

Uh, Jake's foreman, Travis.

Where is he?

He's in town with the rest of his men

givin' statements to my deputies.

( dramatic theme playing)

El gringo, Jake Foley.

What about him?

He tried to play the hero.

Tried to stop our shipment from going through.

(speaks Spanish)

Travis took care of it.

Well, give Travis a bonus.

Loyal men should be rewarded.

Bueno.

Oye, Ramon.

Make plans to buy the ranch.

Without a man,

the Foley woman will want to sell.

As most of you know, my husband was killed two days ago.

I've considered selling the ranch,

but I've decided not to.

Are you sure about that, ma'am?

NICOLE: Yes, and I hope that you guys

will stay on with me and help me run it.

Well, if you're stayin', ma'am, uh, I'm stayin'.

Huh?

Yeah. Yup.

MAN: Yeah, I'm in.

And I've decided to hire three more hands.

Say hello to Wade, Talbot, and Greer.

( heroic theme playing)

( dramatic theme playing)

You'll be bunking in here,

but let's get clear right now.

She may've done the hirin', but I'll be doin' the firin',

any one of you gets out of line.

We need the work, sir.

We're hard workers too.

Yeah, well,

you're about to find out what real ranch work's all about.

( upbeat country theme playing)

What are you looking at?

(grunts)

( upbeat country theme playing)

Mrs. Foley's been wanting this corral put up

for the last six months.

Okay.

( upbeat country theme playing)

TRAVIS: Yeah, tell your brother I, uh...

I appreciate the bonus, Ramon.

Well, there's more where that came from, Mr. Travis,

as long as you keep up the good work.

Well, you can count on that.

Now, I hate to lay out bad news,

but Mrs. Foley told us she ain't gonna sell.

Well, that's crazy. How is she going to run a ranch?

She seemed real determined about it.

My brother's not going to be happy to hear about that.

At least we won't have someone sneakin' up on us anymore.

Bueno, because our next shipment

is coming through tomorrow at 5:00.

Five o'clock.

All right.

I'll be there.

(bird chirps)

NICOLE: Oh, Jake.

(sobbing)

( melancholy theme playing)

(sniffling)

(sobbing)

You okay?

I'll be fine.

I wanna keep this.

He was wearing this when we first met.

He came in to give a deposition.

His vice president had been embezzling from the company.

(sniffs)

And then when he finished his deposition

we just started talking,

and before I knew it he asked me out for a date.

I knew right then

that I was gonna spend the rest of my life with him.

I just can't believe he's gone.

(crying)

( upbeat country theme playing)

(engine starts)

(horse neighs)

(all chattering)

(groans)

(sighs)

You guys get anything?

A sore back.

GAGE: I saw Travis come in,

but he never left his quarters till he came to get you.

There's a poker game tonight.

We're all invited.

Mm. I guess Travis wants to take the new guys' money.

We'd better get Alex to check this place out while we play.

(Travis sighs)

You boys did all right today.

But tomorrow's another day.

Oh, yeah? What's tomorrow?

Bronc bustin'.

Got a dozen colts ain't been rode all winter.

Wild as mustangs. MAN: Oh, yeah.

Think you can handle that, Wade?

I can handle it.

Well, we'll see.

(men laugh)

Everybody listen up. We got new rules in place.

No one goes anywhere on this ranch alone

unless you check with me first.

Pretty strict rule.

You got a problem with it, you can draw your pay.

( suspenseful theme playing)

Here you go, ma'am.

Thank you.

We're playing cards with Travis tonight.

Are you up to checking this place out while we play?

Absolutely.

( suspenseful theme playing)

Have a nice ride, ma'am.

Thank you.

(rustic country music playing on stereo)

(all chattering)

What was the name of that ranch

you worked on, Wade?

I didn't say.

Well, I'm askin'.

Circle J up in Missoula.

Cards.

One.

MAN 1: One.

MAN 2: Two.

Three.

One.

Dealer takes one.

Who was the ramrod up in Missoula?

A guy named Wilcox.

Mm.

No, never heard of him.

He's never heard of you, either.

I'm in for one.

I'm in.

MAN 2: I'm out.

I'll see you one, and raise you two.

And I'll raise you two.

(muttering)

( suspenseful theme playing)

(rustic country music playing on stereo)

What do you got, boys?

MAN 1: Pair of queens.

MAN 2: Bullets.

Two pair.

Queen high straight.

Damn.

Well, you were lucky tonight, Wade.

WALKER: Why don't you hang around, Travis?

I can feel your luck changing.

Heh-heh. Oh, no.

Tomorrow night.

♪ Goin' home to my Loretta ♪

♪ Steal a kiss If I can catch her ♪

♪ There ain't no place That I like better ♪

WALKER: Hey, hey, hey!

I saw you deal off the bottom of the deck.

You're crazy.

Hey, hey, hey,

don't accuse my buddy of cheatin'.

Buddy this.

(all grunting)

(glass shatters)

( suspenseful theme playing)

(all grunting)

That's enough! That's enough!

I swear I didn't cheat, man!

All right. Okay. Forget about it.

You all get some shut-eye.

All of you.

( tense rustic theme playing)

(door closes)

( suspenseful theme playing)

( ominous theme playing)

( heartbeat pounding)

( ominous theme playing)

( dramatic theme playing)

WALKER: Hey, Travis.

Yeah, Wade? What do you want?

Well, I'm not really sure he did cheat,

so I'll pay for the damages.

Okay.

( tense theme playing)

You handle yourself pretty good.

Well, if you hadn't stopped me,

I'd have put a real whippin' on 'em.

(chuckles)

Well, maybe next time I'll let it continue.

(chuckles)

Now get on back to the bunkhouse.

( suspenseful theme playing)

( mellow theme playing)

(men chattering)

Oh, I slept like a rock.

I feel like I slept on a rock.

Morning.

My jaw hurts.

Mine's a little tweaked too.

Sorry about that. Had to make it look real.

Yeah, right.

Good morning.

Morning. Good morning.

Find out anything?

Travis' calendar.

Looks like another shipment's coming through

at 5:00 today. TRAVIS: Greer, Talbot,

you're goin' into town for supplies.

Here's where you're goin', that's what you're gettin'.

Keys are in the truck.

All right. Ladies.

Wade, saddle up.

We'll bring those yearlings in this mornin'.

Got it.

Joe?

I want you to hire some men

for a little welcoming committee

for when Greer and Talbot get into town.

I got you.

( suspenseful theme playing)

( heroic theme playing)

(men whistling and yelling)

(horses neighing)

(men whistling)

(horses neighing)

( suspenseful theme playing)

And over. We're done. Yeah.

Heads up, heads up.

You gotta pay a tax, you wanna work in our town.

A tax?

For takin' jobs away from town folk.

You need to take that up with Mr. Travis

over at the Foley Ranch.

If I want a sound from you, boy,

I'll squeeze your neck.

Guys, listen.

Why don't you guys just go about your business

and let us go about ours, okay?

Our business is to see you leave town.

Then, mister, you're out of business.

I told you... (all grunting)

( action theme playing)

(yells)

There's your tax, paid in full.

(door opens)

Yes.

I have a double shipment coming in today

to make up for some of our losses.

Uh, we're all set up for you.

Travis, I want you to persuade

the Foley woman to sell her ranch.

I'm workin' on it, Mr. Ortega.

Uh, I brought in some of the meanest broncs

this side of the Rio today.

I expect some broken bones

and packed suitcases by this afternoon.

She loses enough men,

she'll get discouraged and wanna sell.

Well, see that she does, Travis.

( suspenseful theme playing)

MAN: Yeah, that way, boy!

Go, that's it!

(yells)

( dramatic theme playing)

(shouting indistinctly)

MAN: That's right. Get him out of there.

(men shouting)

Got those supplies you needed.

( dramatic theme playing)

(horse neighs)

(man yelling)

MAN: Stay with it now, stay with it.

(grunts)

Whoa.

That's the meanest horse I've ever seen.

If this keeps up,

I'm not gonna have a ranch hand left.

Let me give it a try.

MAN: All right, cool off. Come on, guys.

( upbeat country theme playing)

Okay, let it go.

(horse neighs)

(men shouting)

MAN: All right, Wade, hang in there!

Stay with it, boy.

Attaboy, attaboy! Come on!

Nice job, Wade. Good job.

(men shouting)

( upbeat country theme playing)

MAN 1: All right, good job, good job.

MAN 2: That's the last one.

(crowd applauding)

Oh, yes.

MAN 1: What a rider! What a rider!

Hey, you ought to show me them tricks you know.

MAN 1: Where'd you learn how to ride like that?

(men chattering)

Nice going, cowboy.

Thanks.

Cordell Walker, you do things like that

just to get a rise out of me.

Did it work?

Of course it did.

( upbeat country theme playing)

Oh, thanks, guys.

(horse neighs)

( suspenseful theme playing)

(horses neighing)

( suspenseful theme playing)

(horse neighs)

Hold up here, boys.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(horses neighing)

Hola, Señor Travis.

(speaks Spanish)

Hola, Ricardo.

I figured it was you, Travis.

(men murmuring)

Who are you?

I'm a Texas Ranger,

and you're under arrest.

(men murmuring)

Kill him!

( action theme playing)

(siren wailing)

(all shouting)

( heroic theme playing)

Put your head down.

OFFICER 2: All right, I got it, come on.

(all chattering)

Sheriff, we're gonna have to keep this bust under wraps.

Why's that?

We wanna set a trap for the Ortegas.

We need to keep our cover intact.

All right, you got it.

WALKER: Call him, Travis.

And this better be the performance of your life.

I don't have to make this call.

No, you don't. But you're going down

for the death of Jake Foley either way.

Your cooperation might mean the difference

between lethal injection and life imprisonment.

It's your choice.

(sighs)

(phone dialing)

(ringing)

Bueno.

TRAVIS: Mr. Ortega?

Señor Travis.

Well, I got some good news and better news.

The goods came through without a hitch,

and Mrs. Foley wants to sell.

Really?

Yeah, all she wants to see is the color of your money.

Two point three million dollars to be exact.

Tell her I'll wire the money directly to her bank account.

Uh, she's, uh...

Uh, she... She wants out now, Cruz.

She needs money so she can leave.

Well,

then I'll send my brother down there today.

Well, I look forward to seein' him.

He's sending Ramon.

One out of two ain't bad.

TRIVETTE: You know, I think I'm gonna miss this ranch life.

Really?

You mean you're going to miss the blisters?

GAGE: The horse manure?

The flies?

That back-breakin' work?

No wages?

Eatin' the beans and hard tack?

Sleeping in a bunkhouse? Ugh.

(Gage sighs)

You know, now that I think about it,

I'm not gonna miss it at all.

(all chuckle)

Here he comes.

( dramatic theme playing)

( dramatic theme playing)

Travis, where are you?

WALKER: In jail, Ramon.

Just like you're going to be.

Walker.

Tell your men to lay down their weapons.

My men would lay down their lives for me

before they would lay down their weapons.

It's one against five, Walker.

You don't have a chance.

( dramatic theme playing)

Now it's three against five.

Now we do have a chance.

( action theme playing)

I'll get Ramon.

(grunts)

Get up. Put your hands behind your back.

( action theme playing)

No!

If that shipment did not get through,

then either you're lying to me or Travis is,

and one of you is going to die.

PEPÉ: Señor Cruz?

What?!

Turn on the television.

Your brother, he's in trouble.

WOMAN (over TV): And in the little town of Harrisburg,

a major battle has been won in the war against drugs.

Cartel leader Ramon Ortega

has been taken into custody by a special team of Texas Rangers

led by Cordell Walker.

After a week-long undercover operation,

Walker and his team captured the notorious drug trafficker

and $2.3 million in cash.

If convicted, Ramon... No!

Up to 50 years in federal prison.

Walker, you're a dead man.

Pepé,

get General Hernandez on the phone now.

Tell him it's time to repay his debt.

WALKER: Alex, I'd really prefer you not go.

Walker, I got a special invitation

from General Hernandez.

He is the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration

in Nuevo Laredo.

Now how am I gonna turn that down?

I can't talk you out of it?

Well, I would prefer if you didn't try.

You know how critical the war on drugs is,

and our relationship with Mexico is especially important.

Ah, there you are.

Hello, Walker.

D.A. Moody.

Alex, we got a plane to catch.

What? What's wrong?

We were just having a discussion

about me being on that plane or not.

Walker, if Alex hadn't been instrumental

in this Ortega bust,

none of us would've been invited.

I really want her to be there.

Besides, Sydney's gonna go with me.

We're gonna look out for each other, okay?

No, it's not okay, but okay.

Well, I'm packed and ready to go.

Nuevo Laredo, here we come.

A.D.A. Brentano's already in the van.

I'll see you out there.

Be right down.

Not to change the subject,

but I talked to Nicole,

and she sounds like a new woman.

Good.

She made me promise to give you this.

( tender theme playing)

Who's that from?

From me. (chuckles)

I'll see you on Monday.

Okay. Be careful.

Now, isn't that what I always say to you?

Well, it's my turn.

Okay.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(crowd chattering in Spanish)

(engine starts)

( suspenseful theme playing)

(phone dialing)

(phone ringing)

(speaking Spanish)

PEPÉ: They're coming.

The three car caravan,

Federales front and back.

Do it.

( dramatic theme playing)

(both gasp)

Back up! Back up now! Now!

Go, go!

Go, go, go!

SYDNEY: Come on, come on, come on!

( dramatic theme playing)

(screams)

(men grunting)

Get out! Get out, now!

(shouting in Spanish)

MAN: Come on, get out.

(men shouting in Spanish)

MAN: Get in. Hurry, hurry.

Get in the car!

(men shouting in Spanish)

MAN: Go, now, now! Move!
