Original subtitles

WALKER: Do you have any idea where you're going, Trivette?

TRIVETTE: It's not that much farther. It's just a few more miles.

You said that a half hour ago.

Trust me. We're almost there.

Almost where, Trivette?

We're out in the middle of nowhere.

This can't be the right way.

That's what it says on the map.

We're lost, Trivette.

Look, don't you blame me.

These are the directions they gave.

Just trying to figure out why Judge Hollister

wants to meet us way out here in the middle of nowhere.

Well, nowhere would be somewhere

if you hadn't gotten us lost.

I guess you could've done better.

Yeah, I think so.

Look, just because you're part Cherokee

doesn't mean that you have a better sense of direction.

Being Cherokee has nothing to do with it.

I just have a better sense of direction than you do.

(laughing) I don't think so.

Oh, okay.

Which way is west?

West? Yes.

West... is thataway.

That's south. I told you we were lost.

Somebody's playing a practical joke on us.

I just know that Judge Hollister's back in Dallas,

laughing his head off.

Well, maybe not.

That could be his place there.

Yes, I did not get us lost.

Must mean I'm part Cherokee.

Right. Maybe that much.

(laughing)

(engine shuts off)

Well, howdy, boys.

Hello, judge. What brings you out here?

We got a message that you wanted to see us right away.

Well, must be some kinda mix-up. I didn't call you.

No, I'm sure the message had your name on it, judge.

Maybe somebody's playing a practical joke.

(exhales)

( suspenseful theme playing)

Hey, you boys wanna go fishing?

Ah, thanks anyway, judge, but we're on duty.

Well, you're gonna have to excuse me.

The bass are biting on Oakridge Lake,

and I'm gonna get my limit today.

Sorry about the inconvenience, gentlemen.

Have a good trip back.

TRIVETTE: Boy, if I find out

who sent that phony message...

We've been driving two hours.

Well, it wouldn't have been two hours

if you hadn't gotten us lost.

I found the place.

Well, anyone can find anything

if they drive long enough, Trivette.

All right, if it makes you feel better,

I'll ask Judge Hollister for directions.

Maybe he knows a short cut.

Come on, Trivette. I know how to get back.

Let's go.

Trivette!

( action theme playing)

Easy, Trivette. I'll get you to a hospital.

Hey, Walker!

The judge was just the first one!

I wanted you to see it,

'cause I'm saving you for the last!

Who's that?

(laughing)

Max Kale.

VOICE (over PA): Dr. Winstrom.

Dr. Ernest Winstrom to ICU...

ALEX: How did Max Kale escape prison?

They thought he was a low-risk inmate,

so they put him in a minimum-security facility.

Then he kills a guard and five inmates.

What genius would let a psychopath like Max Kale

out of maximum security?

A psychiatrist.

Ranger Walker,

your partner took some shrapnel-type wounds.

He's okay, but he'll be real sore for a while.

(Trivette shrieks)

Man, will you take it easy?

Hi. Aw, Jimmy, how you feeling?

Oh, man, I got the "Holy Anvil Chorus"

ringing in my head.

Thirty-seven stitches on my butt and back.

I feel great.

You're lucky.

A little closer to that bomb blast,

and you'd be singing with the angels.

I'd like to sing to Max Kale.

I'll tell you this... This thing hurts!

The local anesthesia's wearing off.

You'd better lie still.

Take Ranger Trivette to his room.

Okay. Take it easy.

WOMAN: Ranger Walker,

there's an urgent phone call for you.

( somber theme playing)

Walker.

This is Dr. Jane Pine.

I don't know if you remember me.

I testified at Max Kale's trial.

Yeah, I remember you, doctor.

Kale called my radio show.

He's on the line right now.

I... recognized his voice and contacted your office.

They've started a trace.

Well, keep him on the line as long as you can.

I've gone to a commercial, but I can't stall forever.

Uh, commercial's over.

I'll do my best.

Do you have a radio?

Uh, yes, right over here.

Alex.

( suspenseful theme playing)

This is Dr. Jane Pine on KRDW,

and we have a caller on the line.

KALE: A caller? Aw, come on, doc.

You know who I am.

Max Kale.

Max, I'm glad you called.

You sound like you have a lot on your mind.

My mind?

Funny you should mention that.

You're the one that said that I was crazy.

It was nothing personal, Max.

I just gave the court my professional opinion.

KALE: Because of you, they stuck me in an asylum

for the criminally insane.

Give me another chance.

Maybe there's some way that I could help you.

Yeah. Oh, answer me this.

If I'm so crazy,

how come I had the smarts to break out, huh?

I always considered you highly intelligent, Max.

That's why I want to talk to you.

You already have talked to me, doc.

Every day on the radio, and I learned.

Oh, you taught me all the right buzzwords:

self-responsibility,

getting in touch with my inner feelings.

Ha, ha! Those fools, they lapped it up.

And they thought they cured me.

They were just trying to help you, Max.

Just reaching out to you.

They're fools.

And a fool's mouth is his destruction.

Proverbs 18:7.

You've been reading the Bible.

Memorized it.

Then you know what it says about love and forgiveness.

And I know what it says

about retribution against the unjust.

Judge not that ye be not judged.

Matthew 7:1.

Now, I sit in judgment of you.

Please, Max, we have to talk.

Oh, we will talk.

We will.

We'll be taking a short station break.

He is so frightening.

He said I was going to be last,

which means there's others on his hit list,

which could include you.

So I'm putting you under 24-hour protection.

Walker, I mean, I've got...

Don't even argue, Alex. (exhales)

Judge Hollister sentenced him, and now he's dead,

and you're the one that prosecuted him.

Well, what about Dr. Pine and Kale's ex-wife?

They're the ones that testified against him.

I'm putting them under protection too.

I'm gonna go talk to Dr. Pine.

( suspenseful theme playing)

WALKER: I read Kale's psychological review.

It makes him out to be a model inmate.

Who made the evaluation?

The staff at the psychiatric facility

where Kale was locked up.

They made a big mistake.

Yeah, well, that mistake got a judge killed.

They didn't know that Kale was one of the best.

Best at what?

Lying.

Every psychological test Kale was given

showed that he was making dramatic progresses.

It's hard to believe that he faked all that.

It's even harder to believe

that he found the makings for a bomb in an asylum.

Yeah, he was a master at that.

I feel sorry for Kale's doctors.

They were taken in by him.

Could've happened to me.

Yeah, but it didn't.

Why not?

Sometimes it just comes down to a gut feeling.

That's partly what the asylum staff went by.

Unfortunately, in this case they were wrong.

Yeah.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(sighs)

We'll make sure you have

round-the-clock protection, Miss Cahill.

ALEX: Thanks, that makes me breathe a lot easier.

( eerie theme playing)

(car starts)

(chattering)

(rock music playing)

MAN: Got us a Ranger.

MAN 1: Yeah. He's a cute one. MAN 2: Whoo. Ha, ha!

(indistinct chattering)

Where's Angela?

Angela ain't receiving today.

MAN: That's right. Angela ain't receiving today?

You heard me.

WALKER: Now, you're gonna receive

a lot more than you bargained for, bud,

if you don't get outta my way.

Oh, yeah?

(grunts then yells)

(grunting)

MAN: Woo!

You still have all the moves, Walker.

Hi, Angela. It's been a long time.

Is that Lori?

Yeah. She's done a lot of growing up in three years,

hasn't she? Yeah, she sure has.

We gotta talk.

Come on in.

Go out and play, sweetie.

You guys know the drill.

MAN 1: All right. MAN 2: All right.

(chattering)

MAN 3: Give me a hand up, will you?

MAN 4: Yeah, get up.

ANGELA: Beer?

No, thanks.

Well, I guess this isn't a social call.

I wanna know why you refused protective custody.

I've got those junkyard dogs out front to protect me.

That is if you don't bust them for assault.

I'm not gonna bust them,

but they don't impress me very much.

Not many men do.

Angela,

Max killed the judge who prosecuted him.

Now, you turned him in.

He's gonna come after you too, Angela.

Seems I spent most of my married life

in fear of Max.

Used to beat me black and blue.

The day I testified against him

is the day I vowed never to hide from Max again.

What about Lori?

Max won't hurt Lori.

(sighs)

There's nothing I can say to change your mind?

Okay.

Walker,

you did me a big favor when you arrested Max.

Probably wouldn't be alive today if you hadn't.

You just be careful.

( ominous theme playing)

Yeah.

All right, I'm not gonna bust you guys,

but you'd better protect her.

Now get out of the truck.

MAN 1: Move. MAN 2: Get out, come on.

Put up the tailgate.

(grunts)

LORI: Walker.

Why do you wanna kill my dad?

Who said I wanna kill your dad, Lori?

He wrote me a letter and told me.

I don't want your father dead.

But he wants to hurt some innocent people, Lori...

including your mother.

He'd never hurt my mom. Never.

He loves her. You're lying.

(cell phone rings)

Walker.

What are you doing at Angela's?

She's not next. Alex is.

You touch Alex,

I'll tear your heart out, Kale.

Better hurry.

She's home waiting for you.

( action theme playing)

(electronic beeping)

(muffled gasp)

(muffled whimpering)

(gasps)

The bomb is rigged to go off

two minutes after the door is opened,

and it'll go off if you touch it.

( suspenseful theme swells)

( ominous theme playing)

You gotta get outta here.

Be right back.

Walker.

(utensils clattering)

Walker, it's 30 seconds.

You've gotta get outta here.

There's three wires, Alex.

If I cut the wrong one...

(gasps)

( suspenseful music swells)

(exhales shakily)

(sobbing)

I'm sorry.

I was just so scared.

(crying) I know, I know.

I was a little tense myself.

(sighs)

( mellow theme playing)

ANNOUNCER: Now Max Kale's back,

apparently seeking revenge

on the people who helped bring him to justice.

The question is: Who will become his next victim

before authorities stop him once and for all?

WALKER: How you feeling?

(exhales)

(moans)

I hardly slept at all last night.

I keep seeing Kale looking at me.

Eyes of a madman.

Well, this time we're gonna hide you

where no one can find you.

I'm worried about you too.

I mean, something about Kale tells me

he's not afraid of dying.

C.D.: Cordell, I want you to see this.

This fella's got a record as long as a snake's neck.

You know what he did when he was 12 years old?

He tried to blow up one of the neighbor's homes.

What set him off?

Well, the neighbor complained

that he was riding his bicycle through the flowerbeds,

tearing 'em up.

Every neighbor out there

at one time or another's complained about him.

(sighs)

Shoulda thrown that sucker in jail then and there

and saved a lot of lives.

WALKER: What are you doing here?

You're supposed to be in the hospital.

I heard about you. You all right?

I'm fine, thank you.

C.D.: Jimmy, I know you're hurt,

just bless your heart. Just take it easy.

I couldn't lie in bed

while... watching soaps and game shows

when somebody's trying to kill my friends. Aah-aah.

(inaudible dialogue)

(telephone ringing)

Uh, that's me.

( ominous theme playing)

Walker.

You surprise me, Walker.

Didn't know you could disarm a bomb.

(whispers): Kale.

I'm the one that brought you in, Kale.

Why don't you come after me?

Yea, though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil.

Psalms 23. Recognize it?

Take me on, Kale, unless you're afraid.

Ah, spoken like a true Texas Ranger.

Your time will come, Walker.

Your time will come.

(chuckling)

(phone clicks) We got it?

(phone hangs up)

Park Street and McNelly Avenue.

( action theme playing)

KALE: Hey, Walker,

the judge was just the first one.

They're fools.

I'm saving you...

for the last.

Now... I sit in judgment of you.

(echoing): You, you, you, you...

(telephone ringing)

(brakes screech)

(telephone continues ringing)

( ominous theme playing)

KALE: Hello, Walker.

Wanna go for a little ride?

Look to your left.

( dramatic theme playing)

(engine revs, tires squealing)

(engine revs)

(tires squealing)

(horn blaring)

(cell phone rings)

Walker.

Here's the drill.

Five minutes, a bomb goes off.

Dead bodies everywhere.

Yeah, you can save them.

If you got the guts to follow me.

Where's the bomb, Kale?

Real close, partner.

Real close.

(laughing maniacally)

(horns honking)

(telephone ringing)

(button clicks)

This is Dr. Jane Pine on KRDW,

and we have a caller on the line.

KALE: Hi, doc. Your pal Max,

and you know what day it is?

Judgment Day, that's right.

Doc, today's the day you pay for your sins,

and I promise you, it's gonna be up close...

( laughing)

and personal.

(laughing)

( suspenseful theme playing)

( action theme playing)

(horn honking)

(engine revs)

(brakes screeching)

( dramatic theme swells)

(cell phone rings)

Yeah? KALE: That was a small blast.

Get ready for the big one.

( maniacal laughter)

( ominous theme playing)

Get away from that building! There's a bomb!

Go. Get away. There's a bomb!

( somber theme playing)

(cell phone rings) Walker.

TRIVETTE: Walker, I got your message about Dr. Pine

and that policewoman who was guarding her.

My God, another two people killed.

When's this maniac gonna stop?

Not until he feels he's had his revenge.

He'll go after Angela next.

I've gotta stop him.

( suspenseful theme playing)

Lori, where's your mother? She isn't here.

She went shopping. Where'd she go?

She left for Butler Junction about 10 minutes ago.

Won't be back for a couple of hours.

What car she go in?

Dean Watkins' white pickup.

Why?

( suspenseful theme continues)

You watch her. Mm-hm.

(engine starts)

(engine revving)

(tires squealing, horn honking)

(screaming)

Get out. There's a bomb.

Hey, man.

You about killed us.

(electronic beeping)

Get down!

MAN 1: Get down now. MAN 2: Get down.

Get down, get down.

(laughing)

Bye.

Amen.

(chuckling)

MAN: I checked the back...

Walker, you're never gonna catch Max.

He won't quit until he kills everyone he hates.

You, me and God knows who else.

Angela, Max thinks you're dead.

I'm gonna put you in a safe house

until we catch him. What about Lori?

We'll have her picked up and brought to you.

Okay? Okay.

Walker, I haven't prayed in years,

but I'll say one for you.

Be careful.

( ominous music playing)

(cell phone rings)

Walker. TRIVETTE: Yo.

All right, forensics just finished tracking that dynamite

Kale used in the bomb at Alex's house.

It was sold to a demolition firm in Dallas,

which recently reported several cases stolen.

It's an inside job, man.

What makes you think so?

I ran a check on the demo firm's employees.

It seems one of them left some key information

off his job application, like...

he served hard time with Max Kale.

Name's Gene Ardell and he works for Clarkson Construction.

Okay, thanks, Trivette.

MAN: All right, bring back the wood. Right.

Gene Ardell, where is he?

Over there.

MAN: Get it out. Move it out. That's it.

Gene Ardell?

(sighs)

Well, well.

The law.

A hundred and ten pounds of dynamite

disappeared from this site.

Know anything about it?

Nope.

But I got a feeling you gonna pin it on me.

Well, your feeling's right.

(grunting)

(groaning)

(grunting)

(groaning)

Where's Max Kale? Go to hell.

You're a two-time loser, Ardell.

The dynamite you gave Kale killed a federal judge.

You're going down with him unless you tell me where he is.

( suspenseful theme playing)

What part of the building is he in?

Second floor, northeast corner.

Go on in.

I know Max will be glad to see you.

Yeah?

If he's in there, you're dead.

Max ain't afraid of dying. He'll take you with him.

(train crossing signal chiming)

Go on.

Arrest him.

Careful.

( suspenseful theme playing)

(electronic beeping)

(laughing)

( dramatic music swells)

(cell phone ringing)

(cell phone ringing louder)

KALE: Walker, that you?

Come on, Walker, talk to me.

Oh, well, if you're not gonna talk to me,

might as well say goodbye.

( action theme swells)

Jeez, I thought you bought it, man.

(panting)

Where's the book?

What book?

(panting)

I found this book up there.

It's in some kind of code.

Think you can decipher it?

( ominous theme playing)

( suspenseful theme playing)

( suspenseful theme swells)

Hi, sugar. Dad?

That's right, honey.

It's me.

Come here.

Come here. Come on.

Come on... Oh, ho-ho, ho-ho.

Ho-ho-ho. Oh...

I can't believe it's you. I've missed you sooo much.

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.

And you know what?

We're gonna go on a little trip.

Where we going?

To a land of milk and honey,

and everyone there treats you like...

royalty.

Oh, sounds like heaven to me.

It is, honey.

That's where we're going.

Can Mom come along?

No.

You see, Mom's been bad.

What do you mean? Mom hasn't been bad.

I'm afraid she has.

We aren't gonna see her anymore.

Why? Where is she?

Honey,

your mom is dead.

What? Well, s-she turned against me

and sh... And sh... And she lied.

And you know what the Bible said about that:

Thou shalt not bear false witness.

It was my duty. I had to punish her.

You killed my mom. I hate you.

No, shut up.

Shut up. Shut up. Let go of me. I said, let go.

You're turning against me too.

Quit your cryin'.

Come on. You're comin' with me.

I got you.

I got you.

I cracked the code, you guys.

All right, he used his notebook as a diary.

See...

These are all the people he wanted to kill.

Judge Hollister, Alex Cahill,

Dr. Jane Pine, Angela Kale,

and then it gets weird.

Why'd he write the names out like that?

And who's Rodney?

I don't know.

Do you have a first name or initials?

No, nothing. Do you remember any...?

Doesn't ring a bell with me.

(beeps)

Now, who's Rodney Lane?

Well, that's the street the guy was raised on.

Sergeant Walker, I went to pick up Lori Kale,

found a man dead and she's disappeared.

Trivette, pick up Angela. Let's go.

( action theme playing)

(tires squealing)

Get everyone out.

There's a bomb in the neighborhood. Everyone out.

We're evacuating the neighborhood. Move quickly.

Anybody here?

Get out of the house.

There's a bomb. Hurry.

Come on. (frightened chattering)

MAN: Don't be foolin'.

Guys, move out. There's a bomb!

Come on!

Texas Rangers. There's a bomb. Everyone out.

MAN: Is there a bomb? WALKER: Hurry.

C.D.: Let's go.

There's an emergency. Run to the end of the block. Go.

(frightened whimpering)

(chuckling)

LORI: What's going on?

What are you looking at?

I will punish the world for their evil...

(crowd yelling)

and the wicked for their iniquity.

Open up!

Block's gonna blow, get out of here.

Come on.

MAN: Let's just go. Come on, move.

And I will cause the arrogance

of the proud...

to cease.

(screaming)

And I will lay low the haughtiness...

of the terrible.

(Kale laughing)

Isaiah...

chapter 13...

(screaming)

verse 11.

(screaming)

(laughing)

(maniacal laughter)

(screaming)

(laughing)

(crying)

(distant shrieking)

(sobbing)

Okay, don't worry, Lori.

I'll get you out of here.

Come on, honey. Let's go.

( dramatic theme playing)

Please, don't hurt me.

You did exactly what I wanted you to do, Walker.

I'm the one you're after, Kale.

Let your daughter go.

(sobbing)

She sinned.

She has to pay.

But she's just a little girl. There's no reason to hurt her.

No, Walker, we're all gonna die together.

No.

(yells)

Run. Run, Lori! (Kale screaming)

(grunting)

(yelling)

(screaming)

( dramatic theme playing)

Walker.

Everyone all right?

That's just too damn close, Cordell.

Thank God you're safe.

( somber theme playing)

Ranger Walker.

Are you all right?

He killed my mom.

Turn around, honey.

Mom.

Oh, Lori, honey, thank God you're all right.

Where's Kale?

Blew himself up.

That's poetic justice.

( dramatic theme playing)

Yeah, look at me.

Oh, baby.
