Liam.
Liam!
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Look, look at me, hey, take it easy.
- Take it easy. No, no, no... don't move. - I'm fine.
- I'm fine, I'm fine, Cord. - Hey.
- I'm fine. - Okay,
what happened? Wh-Wh-Why are you here?
They f-- they found me.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. - They...
Okay, okay, uh...
What about the kids? Mama?
They're all right. Everybody's okay.
We're just looking... looking for you.
Do you remember the Mitchells? They-they got a trail cam
- of the plates of the van that took you, so... Hey. - Okay.
The cavalry should be coming.
- Okay? - Yeah, yeah, okay.
That's great. We just got to...
We got to just hang tight, you know?
- Cordell. - Yeah?
What? What aren't you telling me?
Hey, you tell me. You tell me right now.
We are gonna get out of this together.
You're not gonna pull some Walker Lone Ranger
- and risk yourself for me. - Liam...
Hey.
Listen to me.
Promise me.
I promise.
- How old was he here? - Three.
He tried to eat the whole thing by himself,
then smashed it when I
- tried to take a slice. - Mm-hmm.
Hey, what's going on here?
Just trying to find a recent photo of Cordi.
Hmm.
HQ has an official
Ranger photo of him. You know that, right?
Oh, we know. It's just so serious.
That's the first time he went away from home.
Wasn't even 21 yet.
It's the first time
I didn't know whether he'd be back.
Hey.
He's coming back home.
Honey, why don't you get some rest?
Cattle collar tore. I need to fix it.
Now's the appropriate time?
Yes, Abs, now,
'cause there's absolutely
nothing that I can do at this very moment.
Great, yeah, looks good.
All right, take that, follow that, appreciate it.
- Okay. - Cassie. A word.
Yes, one second.
Hey, bro, what's up? Can't talk right now.
Hey, I wouldn't be calling you at work
if this wasn't important, but, um, have you seen Liam?
We were supposed to meet this morning.
Have you called, texted?
Yeah, of course, Cass.
I haven't heard from him. I think his phone's off.
Wait, wait, wait, what, his phone is off?
Yeah. This isn't like him. I'm driving around looking for him.
I know he and I are just starting out,
but with Walker's kidnapping and now this,
I care about him, and-and the thought of...
I know, just don't worry. Call you back.
Sir, I'm sorry to interrupt,
but I think Liam Walker is missing, too.
What? No.
Yeah, he was supposed to meet my brother
but didn't show, and now he's not answering his cell.
When's the last time he was seen or heard from?
Um, I was with him yesterday at the ranch,
- but I'm not sure after that. - Hi, you've reached Liam Walker...
Damn it. This can't be happening.
- Hi, you're reached Liam Walker... - It's straight to voice mail.
Should we tell the family?
We're gonna have to.
Damn it.
All right, everybody, listen up.
Besides Ranger Walker...
...his brother Liam Walker is missing now, too.
Whoever did this
has not only attacked us,
but now they're coming after our families,
and that...
that cannot stand.
We are not gonna rest
until we find them, you understand me?
Clock is ticking. Let's bring 'em home.
All right, we were able to render the photo.
The van that took Walker?
We got a plate, but it's bogus.
Well, no shocker there.
Wait a second.
- What's up? - This is a manifest of all the fake plates
made at the chop shop Miles was investigating.
Uh-huh. This van plate's one of them.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
Let me go talk to Miles.
Perez, we've been through this.
Maybe he knows more about whoever was driving the van.
No, Miles told us everything he knew.
Because we weren't asking the right questions.
Come on, Cap.
I'll coordinate with the Marshals.
I'll see if I can get you access. Okay?
Oh, that-that could take a couple of weeks.
He's still in transitional holding.
- Let me go down there... - Perez, no!
They're putting him in WITSEC for a reason.
What are you gonna do? You gonna charge down there
unannounced, out of protocol?
No, it's just gonna make things harder.
We don't need the Feds hassling us.
Listen, I want to find him, too.
We got to do it the right way.
Look, I got to... I got to deal with this.
I will handle Miles,
you focus on the current leads. Are we clear?
Stella Blue.
How you holding up?
Okay, given the circumstances.
We're doing everything we can.
- All right? - I know.
That's, um... That's kind of why I'm here.
- What do you mean? - I want to help.
Like, actually help.
Look, Stella, I got everybody on this, okay?
So the best thing you can do right now...
Look, Captain, I have to do something.
I can't just sit around anymore.
So either you can let me help here,
or I'm going to search every alley
and knock on every door until I find him.
You are your father's daughter.
Look, your dad would kill me if I let you
wander the streets searching alleys.
Okay? But I've even got my dispatchers pounding
the pavement on this, so if you really want to help,
this phone has a dedicated line for any information
coming in about the disappearance. Okay?
You answer it, follow the prompt,
take down the message, give it to a Ranger.
Well, actually, I thought that...
Please, please, I get it. I understand. It's in your DNA.
But please, just...
answer the phone.
All right?
Why-why did they unchain you?
I don't know.
Mind games probably.
You know, treat us well, get us comfortable,
then break us.
Do you think that's what happened
to the, the woman that you mentioned?
Julia.
Well, I hope not.
How do you know she wasn't broken
and on their side now?
No, it wouldn't make any sense.
I mean, she had no reason to help me.
I didn't give her anything.
But that's probably what they're betting on.
That I would doubt her.
Or, hell, that I'll doubt you right now.
You don't think...
No, no. No, no, no, no. I'm saying,
all we have right now,
all we can have is our gut.
My gut tells me that she is on our side.
And that you're my brother.
That's for him. You have other dinner plans.
Please eat. Eat.
Thank you.
But I'm stuffed.
What do you want?
We could really use a guy like you.
I mean, an ally with the Texas Rangers...
So-so what? So I can end up like Captain Cole?
Scared into swallowing cyanide?
Fenton Cole was a disappointment.
You are different.
You are a man who, when he sees a problem,
he takes care of it.
Just look at all of the corruption
that you have personally stopped.
D.A. McLawson, Commissioner Stan Morrison,
D.A. Davidson.
So clearly you have enough reach
to have done your opposition research on me.
So tell me, what in that big old file of yours
makes you think that I'll turn?
Because you are,
as your former partner described,
"edge of the coin Cordell Walker."
A man not afraid to make the hard choice.
So what's the hard choice here?
Blowing it all up?
Okay, I'll give it to you.
There are some flaws in the system,
but there are good people making strides
to fill those cracks.
Is that how you describe your wife?
She died at the hands of an organization
that you serve.
How does that work?
Even after all of your strides,
you will never get her back.
The same could be said about joining you.
You could save the next widower.
You're a hypocrite.
All this talk of corruption.
You murder people who are in your way
or who don't comply.
To me, it sounds like you're a terrorist.
You can call it what you want.
It is all necessary to trigger change.
You still haven't told me what you want.
It's simple.
We are anarchists.
We want to create a power vacuum and then fill it.
And first step is taking down
the Texas Rangers with a Trojan horse.
But...
...you should mull it over.
Oh, um... one more thing.
If you don't start to come around and see reason...
...other tactics are gonna have to be applied.
We didn't bring your brother here
just for a family reunion.
You may be able to handle this,
but your brother?
Mm.

What in the hell are you doing, Walker?

- Just... easy. Just... - Ow.

We, we got to get you out of here.
How was your... how was your meal?
Brother, I, I didn't eat a bite.
Good. Neither did I.
Texas Rangers.
I'm calling about that missing Ranger.
Okay, um, can you give me your name
and tell me what you know?
I saw them.
I'm sorry, you saw who?
I saw them take him.
Inside, I mean. Really tall, right?
Yes. Can you tell me what my da...
Can you tell me what the Ranger was wearing?
Uh, dark shirt, shorts,
and sneakers, like running shoes.
Sorry, maybe calling was a mistake.
No, no, please.
Can you give me your name?
Shannon. I don't want to give my last name,
- if that's okay. - That's fine, Shannon.
Can you tell me exactly where you saw them?
Can I ask if there's a reward?
Like money or something?
It-it seems like there should be.
I mean, he is a Texas Ranger.
That's got to be worth something.
You know, I-I shouldn't have called.
Wait, wait, wait.
Yes, there is a reward.
I thought so.
How much?
Thanks for doing this.
Eh, it's kind my job.
I know, but if I wasn't your brother,
I know I probably wouldn't get to ride along.
I appreciate it, you sticking by me.
Hey, I promised you I'd never let you go through
anything alone again.
And I meant it.
Besides, I need your help... for the carpool lane.
Stel, what's, uh, what's going on in here?
Hey, do you have any money?
Why?
I just need it. Can you go get it?
Okay,
you trashed your room,
you're yelling at me, which for you
is not normal at all,
and you're asking for money.
That sounds like something I should go tell Mawline.
No. Don't.
I think I can find Dad.
How?
A woman called the Ranger station,
and I'm going to meet her.
Okay, I'm-I'm coming with you.
No, you aren't.
Yes, I am.
Stella, we just went through this, okay?
And we're both sick of it.
So if this is something that's gonna help find Dad,
we're doing it together.
Texas Rangers. I'm here to interview a witness:
Miles Vyas.
I'm not seeing anything.
Vyas. V-Y-A-S.
Yeah, he should still be in processing.
I need to question him before he ships out.
All right.
It was sent down by command.
Nope, not in the system.
It's okay. I'll wait.
Hello. Marshal Services.
BEN [on phone]: Yes, this is Director Kenneth
out of Dallas.
There is a Ranger coming down
to speak with a witness.
Yes, yes, sir.
She's actually here right now.
- I just don't see her clearance. - Uh, Marshal,
must I remind you of the importance
of interagency cooperation?
Oh, no, sir, I just thought that...
Yeah, save it, Marshal.
- I don't want to hear it. - Okay. Saving it.
- Is that understood? - Uh, let me,
let me try again. Hang on.
I ask that you, uh, cooperate here.
Yeah, no, I...
Howdy.
Miles!
Cassie?
- Hey. - Cassie.
- What are you doing here? - Hey, how are you?
- Yeah, good? - Yeah, good.
Listen, Walker's been kidnapped. His brother, too.
- Wait, wait, what? - Yeah, we're trying to get them back.
And we got a plate number from the van that took Walker.
It's a fake from the chop shop you were investigating.
So is there anything that you forgot to tell us
or didn't mention?
Like names, other locations?
No. I-I put everything in the statement. It was...
Well, think, Miles. Anything at all you forgot to tell us.
Like creepy run-ins, random calls, bad vibes...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, th-there was, there was this little thing,
but I didn't think it was relevant.
- What? What is it? - Uh, uh... - Hey!
You're under arrest!
About a month ago, this reporter, she contacted Rita.
Okay, she wanted to talk to her about me,
but Rita was spooked, okay, she ignored it.
- Okay. - Later she said that she felt weird about it
because it was as if the reporter was
- trying to tell her something. - Her name. What was her name?
- Let's go. - Uh... - Oh, come on, Miles, think.
Her name. What was her name?
Julia. Uh, uh, uh, Julia Johnson.
Johnson. Got it. Thanks.
Dude, you're looking really fit.
- Really good. - Now.
Are you okay?
Our sons are missing, Bonham.
I know.
Well, I'll leave you to it, then.
Leave me to what?
Well, hell, Abeline, I don't know.
Whatever it is you're doing.
Heaven Almighty, would it kill you
to show a little bit of concern?
- I am concerned. - Are you?
Because you'll work in your shop,
you'll roam the halls, you'll do everything
except admit that you're worried.
It seems like you've given up.
Oh, maybe we just have different ways of showing it,
but I am worried.
- Just not as much as you. - That's obvious.
- Ask me why. - Why?
'Cause both of our boys are missing.
And that's just too much of a coincidence.
It means that they're together.
And if that's the case, then, damn it...
♪ Whispered in the trees...♪
They just happen to have a mother
who not only taught them to love each other
but, above all else,
the importance of sticking together.

So, no, Abeline Walker, I'm not as worried as you.
Well, why didn't you just say that?

- Okay. - This one right here?
- Yeah, we can rule this one out, though. - Yeah.
Trey, will you give us the room, please?
Yeah. Of course.
Captain, I'm sorry.
No, don't. Don't-don't even try it.
You know how many favors I had to burn
to keep you out of federal custody?
I know I screwed up and I'm prepared for the consequences.
Oh, cut the martyr crap, please.
You better tell me you got something that can help.
A journalist. Julia Johnson.
She reached out to Rita Vyas a while ago with information.
Okay. About what?
Miles thinks it could be connected to
whoever took Walker.
On the way here, I called her publication.
They said she was on a leave of absence.
I called her cell, no answer.
So I called her sister.
She said she was on assignment.
Okay, so she's telling work she's on family leave.
She's telling her family she's on a work assignment.
- Exactly. - I'll get a warrant for Johnson's house.
You're coming with me.
And let's get something straight.
This is not a reward.
Under any other circumstances I'd have your badge
right now, you understand me?
I can't let you out of my sight.
I got you, I got you.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Take it easy.
We've-- we got to get out of here.
What about the cavalry?
No, no, we can't wait.
Cordell, what aren't you telling me?
What?
What aren't you telling me?
Sean-- after our little, uh, meeting...
It's not gonna take him long to realize
that I'm not gonna crack.
And once he realizes that...
...other tactics will be applied.
Meaning what?
Meaning, um,
they're gonna hurt you to try and break me.
- I can-- I can take it. - I know.
I-I know you can.
But they're not just gonna hurt you, Liam,
they're gonna kill you.
And that's why
we have to go. Now.
Shannon?
You're who I was talking to?
I'm with the Rangers.
Can you tell me where you saw Ranger Walker?
- Do you have the money? - Just tell us where our dad is.
Your dad.
That's what you were starting to say on the phone.
Yes, okay, the missing Ranger is our dad.
It doesn't really matter.
Now, just tell us where you saw him.
She asked if you had the money.
Pockets feel empty, babe.
Hey, what's your name?
No, don't-don't-don't talk to her.
Ooh, tough guy.
What if I want to talk to her? You gonna stop me?
- Just give us the money. - Tell me where my dad is.
Screw it.
- August! - Ah-ah-ah.
- Hey. - Don't go anywhere.
Give us the money.
Hey!
Wait, stop it. Stop it, wait!
Stop!
Here. Just take it.
This ain't even 200. Where's the rest?
Freakin' amateurs.
Stella. Stella!
Okay, here, take it. It's a classic.
It's worth way more than ten grand.
Just take it and leave us alone. Okay?
