Walker, Texas Ranger s04e21 Episode Script

Blackout

You.
You're not supposed | to be up here.
Travis, there you are, | you naughty boy.
Travis is one of my best customers.
Dropped | How much was it tonight, Travis? Around ? We wouldn't want him | to get lost now, would we? He did it with a smile.
We'll let Mr.
Hendricks decide that.
Do we really have to? Yeah, we really have to.
We gotta get out of here.
What happened in there? - I don't know.
| - Well, what took you so long? You called me Travis.
Look, Remy said your name | was Travis, you're Travis to me.
Now, my cover is blown, | so can we please get out of here? My car is right outside.
We've gotta go out the back.
We couldn't find Remy Burns, | Mr.
Hendricks.
That's not what I want to hear.
Look, our people are out there.
| He's not gonna get out of Dallas.
What's wrong, Savage? The hombre | with the new dealer, Leann.
His name's Walker.
He's a Ranger, | a damn one-man army.
I think Savage is onto us.
If I'm gonna die, | I've gotta call my mama first.
I wanna know what he's doing.
Have them stopped.
Oh, man, I'm dead.
Wow, we gotta go.
Come on, let's go.
Come on.
- Round up Jenkins.
Ready? | - Yeah.
Don't let them get away.
Okay, Remy told me that your name | was Travis Harper.
- Remy? | - Remy Burns.
He said that he was headed | for toe-tag city if he didn't make a deal with you.
That I was supposed | to point out the office where Hendricks kept computer | records of all of his operations.
Wait a minute.
If you're making a deal with | a sleaze-ball like Remy, who are you? The competition? Look, I was almost killed back there.
| If your name isn't Travis, what is it? I don't know.
First, Remy lies to me, then he sets me up with a cowboy | who takes no prisoners and who doesn't know who he is.
And now, | I have a big old bull's eye on my back.
Tomorrow night's New Year's Eve.
Now, if you're my date, | we're both dead.
New Year's Eve.
New Year's Eve.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
Excuse me.
You're hurt\.
Caught one in the shoulder.
Boy, the way you fought back there.
How did you learn those moves? I don't know.
Farrell.
He must've caught | that Ranger in here.
Remy Burns needed inside help | to plant those bugs.
We got a license plate | on the girl's car.
- Have Markham run it.
| - All right.
You find the girl, you'll find Burns.
Get on it.
I gave a fake address | on my application at the casino, so we can go to my place.
ID? What's it say? Travis Harper, El Paso, Texas.
Maybe that's your name.
Does it sound familiar? No.
The condo upstairs used to belong | to one of Remy Burn's girlfriends.
He's letting me borrow it, no special favors involved.
Remy Burns is not my style, | which is the good news.
The bad is, I favor rodeo types.
I swear to you, | my life is like a country song.
Right here.
Where did you hook up | with this Burns guy? New Orleans.
I was dealing at this casino | that was ready to fold.
Remy said he had a job, | could use my talent.
What kind of job? Surveillance.
Sounded exciting.
James Bond kind of stuff.
Until I found out Hendricks | was Remy's target.
You see, he knew | there was an opening for a dealer, so once I was in, I planted bugs | and a camera in Hendricks' office.
What was he looking for? Conversations between Hendricks | and some very import\ant people.
Where's Burns now? On the run.
| Said he would catch up with me.
He owes me money.
- Do you trust him? | - I wouldn't go that far.
I mean, how many people | do you really trust? I wish I knew.
Get down here now! Car was a recent purchase signed | for by Leann Singer.
Address? Skyline Drive, downtown.
They put up | those new high-rise condos.
It's different from the address | she put on the application.
Which means you checked out | her measurements better than you checked out | her papers.
I'll have this Leann person's | whole life history for you in a minute.
You know, | the memory is a very, very tricky thing.
I mean, have you ever left your car, | or your house and you didn't know | if you locked it or not? Or gone into a room | and didn't know why? Maybe you hit your head really hard.
In my mama's favorite soap, | Amber hit her head in a car crash and she couldn't remember | who she was either.
Temporary amnesia, but it all came back to her | in bits and pieces.
I need to call my mama.
No phone calls.
Oh, my gosh.
| You really do need a doctor.
I said no doctors.
Where's the bathroom? | I'll clean this up.
Back there.
Credit cards, hospital records, | gas, phone, electric.
She owns a cellular phone.
And what would life | be without them these days? Find out who owns the condo.
Thanks anyway.
So information in El Paso said | there is no listing for a Travis Harper, but, then again, the number | wouldn't necessarily be listed, so maybe you are from El Paso.
I told you no phone calls.
I am just trying to help.
Well, good.
Here.
Okay, the one thing we do know is that you know | how to handle yourself.
But I wish | you could remember something.
I remember sitting by a campfire | at a ceremony.
Ceremony? Native American.
Well, do you know | why you were there? No.
But I felt like I belonged there.
Well, what about a woman? A girlfriend? A wife? I mean, someone like you | is bound to have someone special.
I remember a woman.
I don't know who she is, but she's very beautiful.
Leann, why are you doing this? Helping you? Because if it weren't for you, I would be dead back there | in front of that casino.
You know, maybe things will all | come back together for you like they did for Amber.
| Just like a big jigsaw puzzle, piece by piece.
You know, everyone has a story.
We just have to figure out | what yours is.
Everyone has a story.
We just have to figure out | what yours is.
Who are you? Yes, sir, New Year's Eve, | one of my favorite holidays.
And I got the New Year's Eve | peas right here.
You bet.
| Just throw those down your system.
All right.
| What you got them seasoned with? Well, I'll guarantee you it's not tofu.
You mean tofu.
They're seasoned with fatback.
Now, | just eat the damn things, will you? Well, we're gonna have | a great part\y here, Jimmy.
I mean, I've got a live band, | the place is sold out.
Look at all these favors | and everything.
You and I are kidding each other, | aren't we? It don't mean diddlysquat.
Not so cert\ain Walker's okay.
Have we heard anything? Nothing.
Look, let's don't send | the dogs out too soon.
We know what undercover means.
Who is this surveillance expert\, | anyway? Name's Remy Burns.
He's a flake, | but he's at the top of his game and Walker figured | that he could help us bring down this hard-core | Mexican drug-connection.
You okay, Alex? Ever since Walker | and I've known each other, we've never missed a New Year's.
Sit down, honey.
| I'll get you some coffee.
Wanna go a couple rounds? | I could use the workout.
Are you saying | you wanna spar with me? Oh, come on.
Yeah, okay.
I know you were | kick-boxing champion, but that was years ago.
Yeah, you're right.
I am over the hill.
All right, but take it easy on me.
- National or international rules? | - What's the difference? International rules, | you can kick to the leg.
- Fine with me.
| - Okay.
Oh, God.
- Damn, that hurt\.
| - You okay? Yeah, I'm all right.
Let's do national rules.
Okay.
Hey, you all right? - Yeah, I'm all right.
| - You sure? Yeah, I'm okay, I'm okay.
Actually, wrestling's my fort\e.
I was Penn State champion.
You mean now you wanna wrestle? - Yeah.
| - Well, remember, I'm over the hill.
So take it easy on me.
Okay, now, if it gets to be too much, | just pat the old mat three times.
- Tap three times.
| - Yeah.
- Got it.
| - Let me get these off.
I get the message.
Are you all right? Oh, my God, | you are bleeding again.
Oh, shoot.
I'm gonna go get you | a fresh bandage, okay? I'll be right back.
All better.
Oh, by the way, while you were asleep | I picked you up some fresh clothes at this little all-night store | around the corner.
They're not exactly GQ, but I figured clean clothes | and a shower would do wonders.
How long was I asleep? Not long enough.
What about you? Don't worry about me.
| I am running on pure adrenaline.
Besides, when this is all over, there will be plenty of time | for me to sleep, or whatever.
I've gotta find Burns, Leann.
| He knows who I am.
I put a page on his beeper.
He needs you | as much as you need him, so he will contact us | when he knows that we're here.
I'm gonna go scare up | some breakfast, okay? Okay.
Yeah, I know.
| I couldn't sit around either.
So I'm covering the streets, | I'm talking to every snitch and every lowlife I know | who knows Walker's face.
Maybe Walker's cover | took him out of town.
- Yeah, as long as it's not El Paso.
| - Why? Because his cover's the real | Travis Harper who's alive and well and the feds got him on ice in El Paso | while Walker's using his identity.
Who are you? Cop was patching me up | when a Texas Ranger walked in.
He stood there looking at me, for a long time.
Finally, he said: "Boy, the way I see it, you've got two choices.
You can work for the law, or against the law.
" I guess you can see | which one I picked.
Condo ownership listed under | the name of Remington J.
Burns.
Get the chopper.
What about the surveillance tapes? If Burns doesn't have them on him, he'll have hidden them | where nobody will ever find them.
You kill Burns, you kill the tapes.
Hope you like scrambled.
| It's all I know how to make.
Looks good.
Whoa, Leann.
It's Remy.
Jeez, you nearly | broke my neck, Walker.
You bastard.
Walker? Jeez, I let you use this pad | and that's what I get? You nearly got me killed, | is what you did.
Jeez, you're looking at me | like you never saw me before.
If this is what I get from my friends, I don't wanna know | what my enemies have in store for me.
You have no friends, Remy.
| And when Clay gets a hold of you, he's gonna put you six-feet under, | sure as I'm looking at you.
No, no, | that's what we gotta figure out.
Right, buddy? I mean, what I did, | it was a thing of beauty.
I'm in the hardware | the government only dreams of.
It's my own stuff.
| Basically, I'm a genius.
The bugs I had Leann plant, | icing on the doughnut.
I had them in Hendricks' limo, | in his john.
He couldn't burp | without my recording it for posterity.
What I had on the tapes, | it was pure dynamite.
Remy, Hendricks caught us | in the casino.
If he ties us together, we're all dead.
Yeah, well, see, I was playing | both ends against the middle.
Hendricks hired me | to wiretap the guys in Mexico.
They would fly in drug money | for Hendricks to wash and the cash would go back | into coke for world consumption.
Why did they want | them wiretapped? I told you before, insurance.
See that's when I saw | how I could score from both ends, by selling the tapes | to the boys I was taping.
Then Hendricks caught on.
What was it I was supposed to do? What are you talking about, Walker? | We been over most of this already.
I'll turn state's evidence, | everything I know.
You just gotta get me out | from under Hendricks.
He doesn't remember | talking to you about that, Remy.
What? He's got amnesia.
What? Walker, is that a first name | or a last name? Jeez, I'm a dead man.
Look out.
I'm out of here.
Burns? Let's get out of here.
Tell me this is just a bad dream.
Give me the keys.
Here.
You are amazing.
Do you have any idea where Burns | keeps the tapes he was talking about? He has a loft in an old warehouse | where he keeps all of his equipment.
No one is supposed to know where.
But you do? I followed him there.
Good.
This is it.
Pull over here.
This is where Remy keeps his loft.
Now, we know that Remy thought | your name was Walker or something.
Walker feels right.
There's also an Alex and a Trivette.
Male? Female? Alex is definitely female.
Well, do you remember | Alex's last name? I mean, | maybe you were married to her.
No, I don't think so.
If Remy had gunpowder for brains, | he couldn't blow his nose.
But he sure knows his business.
Look at all this stuff.
He's also a pack rat.
God.
State of the art\.
So you obviously | know your business too.
Look for the tapes.
Mama said there'd be days like this.
Hi, Mama, it's me.
Sorry I haven't been able | to call you.
We got her.
| She's finally using her cell phone.
Can we triangulate on her position? No problem.
Okay, look.
When I first got thrown together | with you, I didn't know who you were.
Neither did you, but you could've been some freaking | psycho killer for all I knew, right? But Remy kept talking about turning | state's evidence, you helping him.
| And now you're talking like a cop.
Are you a cop? Say, yes.
I don't know.
God, I hate that.
Then stop asking me questions, | Leann.
You are the most stubborn, | aggravating person I have ever met.
I think someone else | has said that to me.
You know, she's the most obnoxious, | aggravating, mule-headed I've heard that before.
- I never said mule-headed.
| - No, she did about you.
- Excuse me.
You.
| - You.
You were completely | out of line, Ranger.
I was out of line? That's some | of the dumbest questions I ever heard.
- Dumb questions? | - Yeah.
Next time I get you | on the witness stand, I want you to act | in a professional manner.
You were arrogant, you were rude, | you embarrassed me in front of my Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
What was I saying? Excuse me.
You know what my dream is? To buy my mama a new house, move her out | of that old trailer park.
You know, maybe | if I hadn't quit going to beauty college I would have a decent job now giving | perms to old ladies with purple hair.
Instead, I thought, dealing cards, | working in a casino, now there's the pure high life.
Money and fun and excitement | all rolled up into one.
But I tell you something, I have | just about had my fill of excitement.
Are you a cop? Say, yes.
Walker, what are you looking for? Revenge? Retribution? Justice.
Hey, you look mighty pretty, | sweetheart\.
Thank you.
Hey, Alex.
You guys look like I feel.
Don't try to cheer us up.
He's gonna call.
I know it.
No.
No, he's not gonna call because it's four days past | when he was supposed to check in.
Look, guys, this isn't gonna work.
We're either gonna have to grit | our way through it Or not have a New Year.
Damn it.
Did you ever see that old movie, | It's a Wonderful Life? It's my mama's favorite.
The lesson to be learned in that movie | is no matter where you've been or who you are, you always find | what you're looking for.
Well, nothing in here but CDs.
C.
D.
C.
D.
, I'm telling you, | I was not invited to dinner tonight.
Cordell, you may know | that penal code from cover to cover, but you don't know split peas | from coffee about women.
Well, I'm not gonna argue | with you about it.
Yeah, music CDs.
But we're | looking for tapes, remember? Alex, Trivette, C.
D.
C.
D.
's a person? He sure as heck is.
Crotchety as the day is long.
Dadgum you, Cordell, | get up off that floor.
One good friend.
Hey, lookie there.
Is that them? Yeah.
Go hide.
Here.
Over there.
Hey.
Get off.
- Let him go, Leann.
| - But I like it.
I don't care if you do like it, | let him go.
My name is Cordell Walker, Leann.
| I'm a Texas Ranger.
You remember? That's so cool.
- Call the Ranger office.
| - Okay.
And tell them to hurry.
Hello? Mama, listen, | I'm a little bit busy right now.
I'll have to call you back.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
Happy New Year! Happy New Year.
Walk Hey, Cordell, | you're a sight for sore eyes, boy.
Get out of there, I guess | there's gonna be a New Year after all.
Hey, Walker's here.
