Walker

- (birds chirping) Cordi.

Cordi, wake up.

Hi.

Were you gonna sleep all day

or do you want to find a way out of here?

Honestly, uh...

cuffed to an old sink in the middle of nowhere

is about how I'm feeling right now, emotionally.

Last night I learned that...

Clay Cooper, uh...

the guy I modeled my whole life after,

was a myth.

The real Coop was a deserter and a coward.

Cordi...

If I'd known what example I was following,

maybe I'd have done things differently. (Stammers)

Liam wouldn't have been tortured

if I hadn't pushed so hard on Grey Flag.

Hoyt wouldn't...

be gone if I didn't take the Rodeo Kings case.

Would I be a Ranger at all? Where does that even leave me?

Cuffed to an old sink in the middle of nowhere.

Look.

Look, you are not a deserter. You are not a coward.

Yeah, well...

maybe I'm not the man you thought you knew.

I don't know, maybe I never was.

Well, you're gonna have to get out of here if you want to find out.

Mm.

Do you remember the time that Augie emptied

his shot rings out of his cap gun?

Yeah.

Tried to blow up Stella's Barbie.

How can I forget that?

You wanted to see me?

Trey!

My guy, come on in, sit down.

How are you? Good to see you. Hey, are you thirsty?

No, no, thank you. I'm good.

What, you need to see me drink from my glass first?

Nah, I got to go work out.

All right.

First...

let me just start by saying

I'm stoked you're here.

Bit of a rough start, I know, but from what I hear,

that was more of a partner problem.

- Guys like you show up when it counts. - Yeah, well,

I didn't expect to be here, to say the least, but...

here I am.

Well, I'm sure you've got a lot of questions, so...

fire away.

I don't even know where to start, uh...

At the fundraiser...

did you poison yourself?

In hindsight, I wouldn't have used so much.

No, the truth is...

I'd been rising in the ranks around here for some time.

I mean, that chemist that they found.

But once he dropped the ball with that whole Walker brothers thing,

I started feeling like...

somebody had to right the ship around here.

So, you know, here I am.

Got to be willing to make the big sacrifices from time to time.

- Right? - Right, yeah.

Yeah, hey, listen, it's no judgment over here.

I mean, I'm just glad they found people who want to...

tear the system down to the studs.

I mean, no offense, but in my experience,

bureaucracy doesn't do jack.

No offense taken.

I agree.

Listen, I believed in bureaucracy at one point.

The whole "hands across America,

vote for a brighter future" party line.

But then I realized something.

The whole system was flawed.

It's designed by...

people who are plagued by the one thing that corrupts us all.

- Self-preservation. - (snaps)

I mean, take Lana.

She runs. Why?

Deserters!

Because she's afraid of us.

Afraid of what guys like you and me are

willing to do for the greater good.

Now that's a whole mess I got to clean up.

That's for a different day.

Yeah, yeah. Well, uh, I'm not scared.

I see now that it might cost a few lives to start a real revolution.

Now that's what I'm talking about.

Yes. You get it.

Trey Barnett.

- Yeah. - I'll tell you what.

Why don't you go do your workout and rest up

- and be ready for the mission, okay? - Yes, sir.

All right.

Hey, uh,

what is the mission, exactly?

Trust me.

You'll hear soon enough.

But when you do...

Now as far as the compound itself, they were fully stocked.

Uh, barracks, vehicles, weapons... you name it.

We always knew they were regrouping in the shadows

but this strong and this fast?

Kevin must have set them up with some serious bankroll.

I will...

alert Tessa Graves. Any word from Ranger Walker?

Uh, not yet, sir.

We're syncing up with him after this.

At any rate, thank you for your hard work.

Between you two and, uh,

the work that Lana Jones did providing intel,

we've made serious strides in the investigation.

Well, the praise is appreciated, but unnecessary.

Now as far as infiltration points, I think

our best option is to come in from the south.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's pump the brakes on that.

- We're not ready... thank you very much. - Here you go, sir.

We're not ready to make a move like that yet.

I am sending in a team with a surveillance package

this afternoon. We will continue to monitor the situation.

"Monitor the situation"?

Sir, I understood

pausing to regroup when we learned that the leader of Grey Flag

was a government official, but we've done that,

and now it's time to bust in there and crack some skulls.

No thank you.

A raid on the compound at this point would be...

a bloodbath. Can I have some sugar, please?

Now I'm not willing to risk another Waco scenario.

I'm sure as hell not gonna... Thank you very much.

I'm not gonna provide them with a damn recruitment video.

These guys are killers.

We've seen what they've done and we know what they're gonna do.

We can't just be reactionary anymore.

Let's play some offense for God sakes!

Perez!

A word right now, please.

Look, I get it, okay, trust me.

This isn't just another case for me, Cap.

This is my entire career as a Ranger.

Okay, this all started with Miles and I'll be damned if I don't finish it.

We know where they sleep and we're just supposed to sit on our asses?

It's chain of command, Cassie.

We're not calling the shots, okay?

And, yes, you were right about being reactionary.

Oh, I'm so sick of being right, Cap.

I was right about Miles being alive.

I was right that Kevin was full of it.

And now I'm right that the FBI is making a bad decision.

Okay, listen to me, just 'cause our hands are tied doesn't mean

we can't make moves, okay, so first things first,

I want you to... Where are you going?

You were gonna tell me to go find Walker, hmm?

Right again.

Try not to blow your hand off like Augie almost did.

Yeah, if I ever tell him this story, I'll probably leave this part out of it.

Better hurry.

Here goes nothing.

Cassie. Hey, hey, hey!

- Nice to see you, too. - Yeah, yeah.

How'd you find me?

Um, I tracked the last ping of your cell

to a cell tower nearby, I searched the area.

Had a feeling about this creepy cabin.

- Yeah. - Please tell me

you didn't read from a book bound in human flesh and inked in blood.

Is-is that aHawk's Shadow reference or something?

Yeah, of course.

What the hell happened to you?

Yeah, okay. I have a lot to fill you in on.

Yeah, that makes two of us, partner.

Come on. Let's go.

So, yesterday, when you told me to meet you at HQ,

you actually went after Coop.

Yeah, yeah, uh, Cass,

I didn't mean to give you the slip, honestly. I-I just figured I...

I found him. Uh...

I found Coop, and things got testy, um,

but he had half a dozen chances to kill me, and he didn't.

Coop's not the leader of Grey Flag,

but whoever is, Coop's after him.

Yeah, well, about that, last night,

Trey got a message out saying that the leader of Grey Flag

was making an appearance,

so James and I scoped it out.

And... You ready for this?

Yeah.

The leader of Grey Flag...

is Kevin.

Like, Kevin Golden, Kevin? Your Kevin?

Okay, well, let's not call him "my Kevin."

We only met Kevin a few months ago.

Coop said he was-was back

for the leader of Grey Flag, so does Coop know Kevin?

Why would Kevin kill off the members of my unit?
