Walker, Texas Ranger s02e19 Episode Script
Skyjacked
This is infamous Lucasville Prison, where fugitive Lyle Guthrie is to be executed for killing three Cleveland policemen.
The victims were shot in cold blood after responding to an emergency 911 call that turned out to be a trap.
To fellow officers' frustration, Guthrie's date with the electric chair is on hold, pending extradition proceedings filed by Texas, where he faces the death penalty for the execution-style murder of a Texas Ranger, prior to the Cleveland slayings.
The dispute ended this morning when a federal judge denied the extradition request.
- Killer Lyle Guthrie will die - Let's go.
in exactly one minute, 35 seconds from now.
Come on, baby.
Give it to me.
Yes? The stinkin' Supreme Court says Texas gets to kill you.
Mabel, are you sure you can run this place while IÂm gone? If an old sodbuster like you can run it, an intelligent woman like me can.
- C.
D.
, Mabel has it under control.
- OK, OK, but listen.
If you run out of Goobers or you run out of beef jerky, they're here in the preserve jars.
They're here in the preserve jars.
- That's the fifth time you've told her.
- Try tenth.
- Fifteenth.
- Listen, detail.
That's what built this place.
Hey, Walker, you got any room in there for these? - What have you got in there? - Nothin'.
I You don't need this.
And you don't need that.
- You definitely don't need that.
- Gimme.
- What am I supposed to do? - Be at one with nature, that's what.
I mean, you'll figure out somethin'.
- Jimmy.
- Alex, hi.
You came to see us off? Not exactly.
- I just don't like the sound of that.
- Extradition.
Tickets to Cleveland.
- They're gonna go pick up a prisoner.
- Now, dad gum it.
Me and Jimmy have been planning this fishing trip for a month.
It took forever to get Cordell to get some time off.
Get somebody else.
IÂm looking forward to this.
I could, but I don't think Walker would want me to.
Lyle Guthrie.
He killed a Ranger, Trivette, execution-style.
Now I remember reading this report.
- Ranger's name was Barrett.
- Yeah.
- Had a wife and three kids.
- Yeah, he did.
What's the matter with Walker? I thought he'd be delighted.
Cordell was godfather to one of his children.
He feels responsible for Barrett.
- Why? - Yeah, why? Well, Cordell was supposed to have picked up Guthrie.
He got busy doing somethin' else and Barrett covered for him.
Guthrie wasted him.
Your contact in Cleveland will be Lieutenant Levar Dixon.
Barrett was a Ranger.
IÂm sure he knew the risk that was involved.
Yeah, well, tell his family that.
Rangers Walker and Trivette to see Lieutenant Dixon.
Lieutenant, yeah, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans just rode in.
Easy does it, Dale.
- He was looking at you.
- Then he'd have to be cross-eyed.
Through that door, gentlemen.
And try not to get any cow patties on his new wall-to-wall.
From the looks of this place, it'd be an improvement.
- Thanks for your time.
- Don't thank me.
I had no choice.
IÂm not sensing the camaraderie we expect from Cleveland's finest here.
This slimebucket took out three good cops.
Family men, friends of mine.
That Ranger was a friend of mine.
Guthrie made him kneel, beg for mercy.
He put a gun to his head and blew it off.
I want him to get the chair.
I wanna inflict as much cruel and unusual punishment as the law allows.
- Lethal injection is what Texas allows.
- That's why I want him executed here.
CPD brought him down.
CPD owns him.
Federal court says otherwise.
Look, he's gonna die no matter what, all right? Lieutenant if it means anything to you, IÂd rather see him fry too.
- The bed's still warm, babe.
- Can't imagine why.
Hey, if you'd rather peddle headsets for some airline, then go ahead.
Mark.
You get that.
Probably Stephanie.
She's always early.
All right.
Mark? Tell Stephanie IÂll be right out.
This is Rangers Walker and Trivette.
Two Rangers.
I guess they remember what happened when they sent only one.
Yeah, I remember, Guthrie.
- You know the only thing I regret? - What's that? That you and I never got a chance to go one-on-one.
Well, come on in here, Ranger.
IÂll make that dream come true.
There's nothing I would like better.
Get this piece of garbage outta here.
- Hey, handsome.
How's it going? - Good.
- Got the special meals? - Right here.
- To die for, just like you ordered.
- Hey.
You be careful now, you hear? Yeah.
Don't you worry about me.
What the hell? No way they're gonna let me on no plane like this.
He's right.
Regulations stipulate handcuffs only.
We're not on the plane yet.
Let me help you.
They're always getting stuck.
- Thanks.
- You're new on this run, huh? - Yeah.
- You're not gonna get far without that.
- Oh, my nametag again.
- Yeah.
It's that identity crisis of mine.
Hey, IÂm still gettin' over mine.
IÂm Stephanie Marco.
Stephanie.
- You're a friend of Linda's? - Yeah, I am.
She talks about you all the time.
This morning she called me to cover for her.
Yeah, that's weird.
We live in the same building and share a taxi, but she didn't answer when I knocked today.
- I guess she left early or something.
- I think it's the something.
Between you and me, she and Mark, they're lighting the sheets afire.
Oh, really.
- Nice earrings.
- Oh, thank you.
Here's his ticket.
If it was up to me, he'd be traveling in the cargo hold.
Up to me, IÂd put him in the cargo hold.
- OK, lieutenant, thanks a lot.
- Take care.
- Thirty-five? - Yeah.
Excuse me, sir.
I believe you're in my seat.
My ticket says 35C.
Well, mine too.
There's not enough room for both.
- Do we have a problem here, gentlemen? - You bet.
You got you two 35C's.
Look, miss, my partner and l are transporting a prisoner.
It's very important that we all sit together.
All right.
IÂll handle this.
Mr.
Hollister, it just so happens we have one seat left in first class.
- And it's got your name on it.
- Thanks, but no thanks.
Company keeps putting me up there, I keep trading in for seats back here.
Sir, IÂd appreciate it if you'd make an exception.
IÂd like to help you, really I would.
But IÂm in insurance, Woodrock Life.
Statistics don't lie.
If this baby goes down, your chances of survival increase in proportion to your distance from the cockpit.
If she can hustle up a seat in the safety zone It'll be the dead zone if you don't move your butt on out.
Pull that again, you'll spend the next four hours on the wheel.
Attendants, secure doors.
IÂm afraid you'll have to move to first class.
IÂm not gonna let him out of my sight.
- That makes me odd man out.
- Yeah, you go.
IÂm sorry, but Walker's assigned to 35C.
Regulations require that he moves.
- Prepare for departure.
- Please take your seats.
- We're about to take off.
Please.
- Put him in the middle seat.
- If he's trouble, you know what to do.
- I know.
Shoot first, find you later.
One more thing, the handcuffs.
Who has the keys? I do.
Why? The FAA requires that the officer accompanying the prisoner be in possession of them at all times, in case of an emergency.
You understand.
Outside pocket.
This way, please.
We'd like to welcome you to flight 453 to Dallas-Fort Worth.
Food service will be commencing shortly.
We'll be offering a choice of chicken à la king or beef stroganoff.
We also have a special vegetarian plate.
Today's movie will be An Innocent Man.
- Looks like special-meal city.
- You want me to handle them? No! Actually, there's a tofu sprouts in 4O who's kinda cute.
They never give us a break, do they? - Would you get that one? Thanks.
- Sure.
- Can I help you, sir? - This is busted.
I can't get my seat to go back.
Let me see what I can do here.
- This is for the far gentleman.
- Thank you.
Come on, Ranger.
No way I can chow down in these.
Maybe you'll starve to death and save the taxpayers some money.
- Could I have an apple juice, please? - Certainly.
Yeah.
I thought you looked familiar.
Say, I hope you don't have a policy with Woodrock Life.
It's a joke.
It's just a joke.
I hope your policy's paid up, pal.
You better sell him one too.
He's gonna need it sooner than he thinks.
- Here's your apple juice.
- Thanks.
Flight attendant Ranger James Trivette, 35G.
IÂm a semi-vegetarian, I ordered the vegetarian special.
You did? - IÂm sorry, sir.
We're out of those.
- Yeah, but check OK.
We have a vegetarian special.
And the same for you, sir? We have plenty on board.
Ranger Walker? - Oh, IÂm sorry.
Just coffee.
Thanks.
- OK.
- You sure we can't open that curtain? - IÂm positive.
Regulations.
- Ranger, as in Texas Ranger? - Yes, ma'am.
Oh, really? My daughter-in-law, Nadine, is from Texas.
She made George move here.
I know it.
She made him buy a fancy house.
It's not my taste, and it's not George's, either, believe me.
I mean, all those rooms.
I call it a hotel.
I am always getting lost in that place.
Can you imagine? No, ma'am, I can't.
George is in pork bellies.
He's doing very well.
He sends me a first-class ticket, round-trip, of course.
Just between us, I think Nadine's afraid that I might stay, - if you know what I mean.
- Yes, ma'am.
Would you excuse me a minute? Please, you'll have to return to your seat.
The captain hasn't turned off the seatbelt sign.
- You sure we can't open this curtain? - IÂm positive.
To be truthful, I have thought about it.
Staying, I mean.
She wouldn't know we were there.
Nadine, my daughter-in-law, well, she made George buy this huge place.
Well, it's not my taste.
- Here's that special meal you ordered.
- Yeah, to die for.
God.
Everything's going according to plan.
Not exactly.
Seat mix-up.
- His partner ended up in first class.
- You mean, that's not him? No.
IÂll take care of it.
Prisoner's loose! Hey, what's going on here? Miss, wait a minute! Shut up! Sit down and shut up! Do it! Or what happened to him will happen to you.
- Where's the Ranger sitting? - I don't know.
Where, damn it? Those kids are gonna miss their mommy real bad.
- Five, four, three, two - He's up front on the other side.
Freeze! Stay put.
Stay quiet.
Nobody'll get hurt.
Ranger's not here.
He probably slipped into the cargo hold or one of the johns.
IÂll go check.
You check the cockpit.
Give the crew their new destination.
Open up! Open up, or there's gonna be a lot of dead people in here.
First, the only heroes on this plane are dead ones.
Second, we're revising the flight plan.
- We're headed to the Cayman Islands.
- You're going to jail first.
Then you can go to the Cayman Islands.
Now, sit down.
Tie her up and gag her.
Say you're not gonna fire that cannon in there, are ya? - This bird'll depressurize so fast - All right.
This'll do.
You take this one.
He's not in the cargo hold.
Check on first class again.
See what's keeping Rhonda.
It's gonna be OK.
Don't make a move.
Let's go.
It's Walker.
Sit down.
OK, two down, one to go.
- You find a parking spot? - Returning's our best bet.
The tower's given us clearance.
We'll be jettisoning fuel and going in.
OK, get it down as soon as you can.
Tie and gag him up.
Where's the Ranger hiding? Where? Here I am, Guthrie.
Drop the gun.
You miss, Walker, we all go down.
I don't miss.
Neither do we, Ranger.
Right there, Ranger.
Drop it! Drop it, or IÂll blow you away! Guthrie goes first.
You think he cares about you? Do ya? You bet your butt he doesn't.
How 'bout you? He doesn't know you from spit, does he? 'Course not, but somethin' tells me he's gonna lose his nerve real quick the minute it gets personal.
When you killed that Ranger, it became personal.
Made my day too, listenin' to him plead for his life.
''My wife, my kids.
Please, please''.
The way his eyes looked when I popped him.
I get goose bumps just thinking about it.
Now, you drop that sidearm, or these good folks are gonna see a real cop killer in action.
- Don't do it, Walker.
- You got to the count of ten, cowboy.
- Five, six - He's gonna do it, anyway.
Guthrie! We're landing.
- What are you talking about? - The airport.
We're going down.
You get this landing aborted.
The fuel's been dumped.
We're going down, one way or another.
Stay where you are! Hang on.
- We got a com hookup yet? - Yeah.
We patched into the air phone.
Check on Rhonda and Boland.
Clean out that cabin and cockpit, while you're at it.
I want everybody back here where I can see you.
I don't know.
The Ranger thought he had all but one.
- Turned out there's more on board.
- What's Walker's status now? A stand off at last report.
- Any casualties? - One wounded.
Guy tried to Open up in there! I got the Ranger! Open up, or IÂll kill him! They've got Walker.
They're beating on my door.
Captain.
Captain, listen.
OK.
How is he? I can't stop the bleeding and his pulse is very weak.
- Where do you think you're going? - To see if I can help.
Who's gonna help when you're dying? We gotta do something about the cops.
Make 'em start listening up.
Why don't I just pop this one? You start poppin' Rangers and this thing goes wrong, we're all gonna fry.
- Not just Guthrie.
- Shut up! I do the thinkin' here.
Me and my sister.
If I can't call the shots, she does.
You got that? He's right, sis.
No sense you all frying if this goes bust, but it ain't, 'cause push comes to shove, we can use the Ranger to make sure we're doing the pushing and the shoving.
Guthrie, this is Dixon.
We're tied into the air phone.
Pick it up.
Talk to me.
Lieutenant Dixon.
Well, well, well.
The gang's all here.
- Your gang's grounded.
- Not for long.
We'll be heading into the wild blue yonder soon as you gas up this bird.
We'll talk about that after you release the passengers all of 'em.
Half now.
Half later.
That's not good enough.
I need more.
Make me a better offer.
- We have three wounded aboard.
- I don't like the sound of that.
What are you trying to pull? I heard there was one.
Well, you heard wrong, and you get them first.
After you gas up this bird, then you get the passengers.
Women, kids, geezers.
You know the drill.
Then we're outta here.
Take it or leave it.
- He's hurt bad.
We need a paramedic.
- No! Nice try.
But I don't want cops in white jackets up here.
Dixon, gurneys only, and make it fast or you'll be taking out dead instead of wounded.
I want a refueling truck now.
I want two paramedic vans and a hydraulic lift.
Yes, sir.
I want sharpshooters there, there and there.
I want this bastard.
I want him bad.
I want him dead.
Guthrie! Three wounded? I don't know what the hell you're up to.
They're never gonna let us take off.
Get out of my face.
I told you, I do the thinking.
They're never gonna let us take That makes two casualties.
Guess who's gonna be number three.
Guthrie, the gurneys are coming up.
OK, Dixon.
One at a time.
I wanna see that fuel truck, I want it now.
As soon as we get the casualties.
Let's go, let's go.
Watch yourself in there.
Everybody in there is armed.
You stay put, Boy Scout.
Come with me, princess.
Open it when I tell you.
Stay steady.
They're armed and dangerous.
I don't want anybody to get hurt.
Lynette! Load 'em out! Check out those injured.
Put him in.
Get that fuel truck so we can get the other passengers off.
Drive like I say or die.
- Her brother sold you a bill of goods.
- What're you talkin' about? That line that Guthrie said about being the only one that will fry? Accessories to murder get the same ticket to the hot seat as the guy that pulls the trigger.
Get that buttoned up.
Come on! Move it! Come on.
Move it.
- Unless they cooperate.
- Cooperate? - You mean, we can cut a deal? - You cooperate, we'll talk.
Hey.
He's not in charge.
No deal.
- You gonna let her tell you what to do? - Yeah, he is.
So get that pilot up there, and get this bird in the air.
Shut up! Don't you be telling me what to do.
They're coming out! - Watch your arm! - Legs together! - Where the hell are you going? - Guthrie got away in an ambulance.
Airport Road is the only way out.
Heads east towards downtown.
- Hey, hey! This is my car.
- Then hop in.
Stand on it, man.
Stand on it! Hey! What are you doin'? All right! Follow him in! Get around the back, now! - Come on, around back! - Move! Guthrie! Dreams do come true, huh? You wanna do it the easy way or the hard way? Good.
The hard way, huh? You just can't get it right, can ya? Having fun yet? This is for the Ranger's family.
And this one's for me.
- Guthrie's there.
- Alive? Oh, yeah.
How bad is it? Flesh wound.
First time? As a matter of fact, it is.
Did I ever tell you about the first time I got shot? Why don't you tell me while I sit and bleed to death? It was ten years ago.
I was chasing a guy through a cemetery - C.
D.
, let's go.
- IÂm coming just as fast as I can.
I can't go any faster than I go.
You can handle this place while IÂm gone? Like I told you, old coot, if you can run it, I can run it.
- Haven't we heard this before? - They're worse than being married.
Just in case you run out of Goobers and beef jerky, they're in the preserve jars up in under the bar.
Up in under the bar.
- Isn't this the tenth time he told you? - Try hundredth.
All right.
Let's get the hell outta here.
Oh, my God, there she is.
Let's head out the back door!

It's not my taste, and it's not George's, either, believe me.
I mean, all those rooms.
I call it a hotel.
I am always getting lost in that place.
Can you imagine? No, ma'am, I can't.
George is in pork bellies.
He's doing very well.
He sends me a first-class ticket, round-trip, of course.
Just between us, I think Nadine's afraid that I might stay, - if you know what I mean.
- Yes, ma'am.
Would you excuse me a minute? Please, you'll have to return to your seat.
The captain hasn't turned off the seatbelt sign.
- You sure we can't open this curtain? - IÂm positive.
To be truthful, I have thought about it.
Staying, I mean.
She wouldn't know we were there.
Nadine, my daughter-in-law, well, she made George buy this huge place.
Well, it's not my taste.
- Here's that special meal you ordered.
- Yeah, to die for.
God.
Everything's going according to plan.
Not exactly.
Seat mix-up.
- His partner ended up in first class.
- You mean, that's not him? No.
IÂll take care of it.
Prisoner's loose! Hey, what's going on here? Miss, wait a minute! Shut up! Sit down and shut up! Do it! Or what happened to him will happen to you.
- Where's the Ranger sitting? - I don't know.
Where, damn it? Those kids are gonna miss their mommy real bad.
- Five, four, three, two - He's up front on the other side.
Freeze! Stay put.
Stay quiet.
Nobody'll get hurt.
Ranger's not here.
He probably slipped into the cargo hold or one of the johns.
IÂll go check.
You check the cockpit.
Give the crew their new destination.
Open up! Open up, or there's gonna be a lot of dead people in here.
First, the only heroes on this plane are dead ones.
Second, we're revising the flight plan.
- We're headed to the Cayman Islands.
- You're going to jail first.
Then you can go to the Cayman Islands.
Now, sit down.
Tie her up and gag her.
Say you're not gonna fire that cannon in there, are ya? - This bird'll depressurize so fast - All right.
This'll do.
You take this one.
He's not in the cargo hold.
Check on first class again.
See what's keeping Rhonda.
It's gonna be OK.
Don't make a move.
Let's go.
It's Walker.
Sit down.
OK, two down, one to go.
- You find a parking spot? - Returning's our best bet.
The tower's given us clearance.
We'll be jettisoning fuel and going in.
OK, get it down as soon as you can.
Tie and gag him up.
Where's the Ranger hiding? Where? Here I am, Guthrie.
Drop the gun.
You miss, Walker, we all go down.
I don't miss.
Neither do we, Ranger.
Right there, Ranger.
Drop it! Drop it, or IÂll blow you away! Guthrie goes first.
You think he cares about you? Do ya? You bet your butt he doesn't.
How 'bout you? He doesn't know you from spit, does he? 'Course not, but somethin' tells me he's gonna lose his nerve real quick the minute it gets personal.
When you killed that Ranger, it became personal.
Made my day too, listenin' to him plead for his life.
''My wife, my kids.
Please, please''.
The way his eyes looked when I popped him.
I get goose bumps just thinking about it.
Now, you drop that sidearm, or these good folks are gonna see a real cop killer in action.
- Don't do it, Walker.
- You got to the count of ten, cowboy.
- Five, six - He's gonna do it, anyway.
Guthrie! We're landing.
- What are you talking about? - The airport.
We're going down.
You get this landing aborted.
The fuel's been dumped.
We're going down, one way or another.
Stay where you are! Hang on.
- We got a com hookup yet? - Yeah.
We patched into the air phone.
Check on Rhonda and Boland.
Clean out that cabin and cockpit, while you're at it.
I want everybody back here where I can see you.
I don't know.
The Ranger thought he had all but one.
- Turned out there's more on board.
- What's Walker's status now? A stand off at last report.
- Any casualties? - One wounded.
Guy tried to Open up in there! I got the Ranger! Open up, or IÂll kill him! They've got Walker.
They're beating on my door.
Captain.
Captain, listen.
OK.
How is he? I can't stop the bleeding and his pulse is very weak.
- Where do you think you're going? - To see if I can help.
Who's gonna help when you're dying? We gotta do something about the cops.
Make 'em start listening up.
Why don't I just pop this one? You start poppin' Rangers and this thing goes wrong, we're all gonna fry.
- Not just Guthrie.
- Shut up! I do the thinkin' here.
Me and my sister.
If I can't call the shots, she does.
You got that? He's right, sis.
No sense you all frying if this goes bust, but it ain't, 'cause push comes to shove, we can use the Ranger to make sure we're doing the pushing and the shoving.
Guthrie, this is Dixon.
We're tied into the air phone.
Pick it up.
Talk to me.
Lieutenant Dixon.
Well, well, well.
The gang's all here.
- Your gang's grounded.
- Not for long.
We'll be heading into the wild blue yonder soon as you gas up this bird.
We'll talk about that after you release the passengers all of 'em.
Half now.
Half later.
That's not good enough.
I need more.
Make me a better offer.
- We have three wounded aboard.
- I don't like the sound of that.
What are you trying to pull? I heard there was one.
Well, you heard wrong, and you get them first.
After you gas up this bird, then you get the passengers.
Women, kids, geezers.
You know the drill.
Then we're outta here.
Take it or leave it.
- He's hurt bad.
We need a paramedic.
- No! Nice try.
But I don't want cops in white jackets up here.
Dixon, gurneys only, and make it fast or you'll be taking out dead instead of wounded.
I want a refueling truck now.
I want two paramedic vans and a hydraulic lift.
Yes, sir.
I want sharpshooters there, there and there.
I want this bastard.
I want him bad.
I want him dead.
Guthrie! Three wounded? I don't know what the hell you're up to.
They're never gonna let us take off.
Get out of my face.
I told you, I do the thinking.
They're never gonna let us take That makes two casualties.
Guess who's gonna be number three.
Guthrie, the gurneys are coming up.
OK, Dixon.
One at a time.
I wanna see that fuel truck, I want it now.
As soon as we get the casualties.
Let's go, let's go.
Watch yourself in there.
Everybody in there is armed.
You stay put, Boy Scout.
Come with me, princess.
Open it when I tell you.
Stay steady.
They're armed and dangerous.
I don't want anybody to get hurt.
Lynette! Load 'em out! Check out those injured.
Put him in.
Get that fuel truck so we can get the other passengers off.
Drive like I say or die.
- Her brother sold you a bill of goods.
- What're you talkin' about? That line that Guthrie said about being the only one that will fry? Accessories to murder get the same ticket to the hot seat as the guy that pulls the trigger.
Get that buttoned up.
Come on! Move it! Come on.
Move it.
- Unless they cooperate.
- Cooperate? - You mean, we can cut a deal? - You cooperate, we'll talk.
Hey.
He's not in charge.
No deal.
- You gonna let her tell you what to do? - Yeah, he is.
So get that pilot up there, and get this bird in the air.
Shut up! Don't you be telling me what to do.
They're coming out! - Watch your arm! - Legs together! - Where the hell are you going? - Guthrie got away in an ambulance.
Airport Road is the only way out.
Heads east towards downtown.
- Hey, hey! This is my car.
- Then hop in.
Stand on it, man.
Stand on it! Hey! What are you doin'? All right! Follow him in! Get around the back, now! - Come on, around back! - Move! Guthrie! Dreams do come true, huh? You wanna do it the easy way or the hard way? Good.
The hard way, huh? You just can't get it right, can ya? Having fun yet? This is for the Ranger's family.
And this one's for me.
- Guthrie's there.
- Alive? Oh, yeah.
How bad is it? Flesh wound.
First time? As a matter of fact, it is.
Did I ever tell you about the first time I got shot? Why don't you tell me while I sit and bleed to death? It was ten years ago.
I was chasing a guy through a cemetery - C.
D.
, let's go.
- IÂm coming just as fast as I can.
I can't go any faster than I go.
You can handle this place while IÂm gone? Like I told you, old coot, if you can run it, I can run it.
- Haven't we heard this before? - They're worse than being married.
Just in case you run out of Goobers and beef jerky, they're in the preserve jars up in under the bar.
Up in under the bar.
- Isn't this the tenth time he told you? - Try hundredth.
All right.
Let's get the hell outta here.
Oh, my God, there she is.
Let's head out the back door!
