Walker

Colton? Colton, come on. Wake up.

Wake up. Oh, my God.

Colton! Oh, my God, come on.

Hey, you're okay. Just focus on me.

Just focus on me. Hey.

Colton, wake up. Colton!

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Put this under your head.

We gotta call help.

My phone is cracked.

Um, stay here, okay?

Don't move.

Stel? Uncle Liam?

Stel, what's going on? Hey, um, no, no, listen.

We're at Hill Country State Park.

Something happened.

I'm with Colton, and we really need help...

right now.

So you can see my dilemma.

Honestly, I stopped listening about 30 seconds ago.

Ye... Okay. So Stella told me

she started seeing the Davidson kid,

which, of course, I support. You know, I-I want to support.

Right. Because you and Denise used to loveeach other.

No, no, we didn't... We were kids.

Yeah, well, I like that you felt the need to engage on that.

On the other hand, if Liam and I are correct

about this whole saddle thing, then that changes everything

and reignites the family feud.

So what you're saying is happy hour therapy?

Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying right now.

Walker, my office, please.

Not right now. Rain check. But you'll think on my dilemma.

Yeah? Every waking hour, partner.

Cap.Yeah.

Uh, you remember Rita Vyas, right?

Miles Vyas' wife. Yeah.

You want me to grab Cass?

No. Grab the door, actually.

Of course.

All right, you know I don't like to

admit that you taught me something.

But you did last year.

Okay. I learned that

if one of my best Rangers has a gut instinct about something,

I should never completely close that door.

You were right about Emily, right?

Right. Are you thinking Cass was right about Miles?

Did you get a lead?

I stayed in touch with Rita,

just to kind of keep tabs,

you know, just in case.

She called me last night about Captain Fenton.

Said he's been acting erratic,

leaving in the middle of the night, et cetera.

So Rita followed him, and she saw him with someone.

With-with Miles? Or saw him with someone who looked like Miles?

Well, she wouldn't go that far. She didn't want to get caught.

She got spooked, but she gave me an address.

Okay. Yeah, yeah, let's run it down.

Worst case, we give a widow some closure.Okay.

But, uh, Cap...

I know, I know, you want to tell Cassie.

Or at least understand why we aren't. Look,

the spiral that I saw you go through,

that I helped put you through?

I don't want to kickstart that with her

if this is just false hope. Look, give me two hours.

Two hours. If it's real, she's the first call.

You got it. Two hours.

Let's do it. All right.

Does that make it an official date?

We're grading on a curve, William.

I met Lucas when we were 16.

Oh, you are so not ready for this,

and it is so charming. I'm sorry, what's that?

Oh, not in a judgy way,

it's just you seem like a man

of few long relationships that likes to stretch

what the definition of a date is.

You don't think I'm ready for anything serious yet,

which is supposed to not be judgy.

A number of things came out wrong in this conversation.

What gave it away?

I'm sorry, it's just my head. I'm just...

I'm in a million places right now.

Well, I don't think I'm gonna hear anything

about your dating life

till you tell me whatever's going on.

All right, let me guess. The, uh, David family?

Davidson.

What, Cassie told you? Yeah.

We're taking baby steps. Well,

I'm starting to think that they cheated

in that horse race before.

Cut a saddle. If I'm right...

It would nullify the agreement.

The land would revert to your family.

Man, she really did get you up to speed.

Yeah. And-and this is gonna sound selfish,

but leaving the DA's office

and dealing with all this land deed,

it hasn't exactly been my year.

I wouldn't hate putting a point on the board with my family.

That's not selfish.

You're just saying that.

The only issue I see is you're talking to the wrong guy

about the cheating.

What are you saying, that I should just go

straight at the Davidsons? Yeah.

Sounds like you don't know if someone was in it alone,

or if the whole family was in on it.

You're a lawyer.

Don't you depose people?

Catch 'em in lies, shake the trees?

Say things like, "I'm gonna nail your ass to this table."

Oh, wow. We do not.

We don't say "nail your ass to the table" in real life.Oh.

But depose the Davidsons...

That, I could do.

Okay, game plan.

It's a four-mile hike there and back,

and the app says "moderately strenuous."

Yeah. Moderately is a lie.

Once "strenuous" comes into play...

Oh, you don't think you can keep up?

Oh, dude, I can keep up.

So you did this hike with your mom?

Not this one, but...

hiking and camping,

it was really big with her.

I know this isn't a normal first date...

No, no, it's perfect.

Stel.

You seriously only brought SPF 15?

It's like zero coverage.

Almost perfect.

Mm-hmm.

All right, with this I'm either bronzing

or I'm burning. You know,

it's a fast ride to burn. Hey, Augie,

you said you were meeting a friend here, right?

Do you think maybe you should go meet her?

All right, all right, I'm leaving. Whatever.

Hey, Augie!

Uh-huh. Go be with your friend.

And I'll see you at the trail cutoff at 4:00.

Got it.

Ready to explore the wilderness?

Well, that don't look good.

No. No, it doesn't.

You don't live here anymore, so you can't just show up

whenever you feel like it. I just have a question.

I just have one question to ask. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What's going on here?

Our old neighbor here

has some questions about the race.

We have reason to believe that the race

and the contract that binds it

is now null and void.

Oh, God.

And-and why would that be?

Because a Davidson tampered with Cordi's saddle.

So I'm just here to find out if one of you

acted alone, or if you're all in on it.

Wow, you are incredible, Liam, really.

You must have proof.

That is a very big thing to say.

Oh, it's so interesting that you'd be

the first person to go there, Daniel.

Who had a bigger incentive to tamper with this race?

You get to impress your family,

you stay close to home.

Okay, so you think Dan cut the saddle?

Really?

You're reaching here.

I didn't need to tip the scales to win,

and you didn't say anything about proof.

You know, ever since the day of the race

my father hasn't been able to find

his leather detailing knife.

It's a pretty coincidental leather-working tool

to just go missing, wouldn't you say?

People lose things in a move, Liam.

Maybe you used it, and then you threw away the evidence.

Oh, yeah. Mmm.

You've never been good

with probable cause.

Oh, yeah? And who was right about that?

You broke my taillight.

That cost me $200.

And as far as I can tell, that cost you a career.

You know that that race was your lifeline

to stay in a family that didn't even want you anymore.

So you figured: criminal, liar.

Why not just throw "cheat" into the mix,

and you'd get the guest house?

Oh, my God.

I came to you to try and call off this race,

and instead, you rigged it.
