Walker - Fifth Season

He's gonna bleed out if we don't get help.

Just wait. How is this gonna look?

Hey. What's going on?

Years ago, there was this case, this serial killer.

We-we called him the Jackal.

I got a call from Detective Luna.

You know what that case did to me and Kelly.

There is no way.

I can't go back there.

Well, this is a permission slip. For?

Uh, Boot Camp Readiness.

So you're still looking to enlist?

Yeah, keeping my options open.

Sadie, it's Stella. You need to call me back, okay?

Where did you find these?

It's the last known location

- of the Jackal. - I lost my husband to this man once.

I am not losing him again.

We need to solve this before there's another victim.

We need to solve this

before James ever finds out.

All right.

Ooh, extra foam for my lady.

Look at this. I mean, this...

this is perfect.

Mmm. Mmm.

- Glad you think so. - Mmm.

Oh, before I forget, I found this stuff in my room.

I wasn't sure what you wanted to do with them.

Yep. Thank you.

I did leave some stuff in there.

Thank you. Um...

So, roomie, what is on the agenda for today?

Well, you probably think I'm a vagabond,

coming in hot with nothing but a suitcase

and my hopes and dreams...

- And apparently, a milk frother. - Of course.

Anyway, Ben is itching for me

to get my stuff out of the storage unit.

So, Liam is gonna come by and help me pack that up,

and then I'll bring it all back here and unpack it.

Lots of packing ahead.

Good, 'cause you're never leaving.

- You say that now. - This is so good.

Mmm.

I'm telling you guys,

you have to check out this podcast.

It's on the, uh, Japanese art of kintsugi.

Embracing the broken and rolling that history into the future.

It's, uh, it's quite moving.

Yeah, well, hey...

Speaking of, uh, perfectly imperfect...

Yeah? What's up?

Well, y'all know that Geri and I

have been giving this thing a go for a while,

a-and it's been really nice. It's great, even.

- Is there a "but"? - No.

- N-Not really. - No "but."

"And." Let's go with "and." Okay?

And, you know, the last time

I-I really did this was with Emily,

you know, and we were both so young.

I-It was all just going to the mall,

going to the movies, sneaking around. You know?

And back then,

the first time I said, "I love you,"

I-I was really, in my head, saying,

"Let's do this forever."

Wait, wait a minute.

You haven't told Geri that you love her?

Okay, well, it's not that simple.

Y-Yeah, it is.

Uh, Trey, I love you, man.

- I love you, too, man. - Yeah. Easy.

- Do it like that. - All right. A... Got it.

- See? - What I'm saying is that Geri and I

haven't been here with each other before.

And in case you forgot,

both of our last serious relationships

kind of ended in serious tragedy.

So it's just kind of hard to pinpoint the next right step.

All right, let's...

figure it out.

And it doesn't have to be something grand.

- It can... - No, no.

I mean, it could be, uh, a drawer at your place.

Like a dresser drawer?

Yeah, I mean, it shows commitment and moving forward.

Hmm. A drawer.

And with that, I am off to boot camp, gentlemen,

- the weekend edition. - Yeah.

- You guys have a wonderful day, all right? - Yeah, you, too.

- You, too, man. - Hey, Walker? - Yo?

I love you.

- Dude. Nice. - Yeah.

- I'm good. - Got it.

Fine.

What's this? Ah, yes, I am on,

- uh, wound care detail. - Yeah. Dude,

thank you so much for handling this with the rescues.

Yeah, no, happy to do it. It's been too long

since I've spent time out at the stables.

Plus, you've been juggling a lot lately.

Even before Stella went off to college.

Yeah, actually, I do want to talk to you about Stella.

I-I'm a little worried, you know,

'cause everybody handles, you know,

what they're going through in their own way,

but I suggested therapy to her and-and she...

It's just, I think

you should talk to her, you'd get through to her.

It's... a-a dad and an uncle are-are leagues apart.

Liam, Liam, Liam.

It's been really hard for me to-to try and sit back

and give these kids space, and I'm finally making progress.

No, I-I get that. t's-it's just that if you...

I have to trust that she'll come to me if she needs me.

And I need you to trust that, too. Okay?

- Okay. - Okay.

Mm. Okay.

You know, today's my first full day of boot camp,

and I'm honestly not quite sure what to expect.

I expect you won't be doing much of anything

if you choke to death on your biscuits

- before you get there. - We should get going.

- Yeah. Yeah. - Oh, before you leave

a trail of breadcrumbs out the door, um,

did you set aside everything that you're selling?

Fundraiser at HQ.

Right. Rangers 4 Paws.

Got to help the animal shelter.

Be a lot cooler if we just kept the proceeds, but...

Okay, well, that kind of defeats the purpose

of, uh, benefiting charity.

Obviously, very important to me.

But, yes, I set some things aside.

Not that people are gonna want my stuff.

- Check the time. Mm-hmm. - Oh, crap.

Thank you.

All right, we'll be back as soon as we're done with 'em.

- Mwah. - "We're"?

- What? - Huh?

- Bye. - All right, I'll see you later.

"We're."

"He was just some guy"?

Why did you lie to Liam about not knowing Witt?

I panicked.

Okay? This is insane.

Look, I get it, tonight was a lot,

but we can fix it.

Liam will understand. It was an honest mistake.

No.

- I'm sorry, what? - No, we stick to that.

Okay? It's like you just said,

tonight was a lot.

Too much. And none of it is our fault.

Sadie, I really don't know about this.

No, listen to me, Stel.

You are going off to college soon.

I am a quasi-delinquent who had history with the guy.

We fess up, who knows what they'll do.

Hey, we could lose everything.

Okay, they're about to pull up. Y'all ready?

Okay. It's gonna be just like we talked about.

They're gonna come in, process the scene.

It's-it's all very normal.

They'll ask you questions, get your statements.

And I'll be with you every step of the way.

- Thank you. - Of course. Now...

is there anything that you want to say to me

before they get here?

What the hell is going on?

I just drove through the night,

so I might be under-thinking this,

but what exactly is the issue?

Um, are you kidding?

Stella, there are like a million reasons

someone might want to mess with you,

like your dad's a Ranger

or you're a freshman who's got some buzz.

This feels pretty pointed for hazing.

A campus death is kind of a big deal.

There were hashtags and-and vigils.

This is just some jacked-up prank.

We need to tell somebody about this.

We can't just pretend it's not happening. Not again.

I know it's been a long night,

slash morning,

slash... n-no, look, I get it.

I would have been freaked out, too.

But let's just take a beat, okay?

Let's get you out of here.

Maybe a change of scenery will have

clearer minds prevailing.

Oh, what are you... ?

The detective?

Are you serious?

Things have changed.

Hey, what the hell are you doing?

There.
