Walker

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...

- (groans) - (muffled shouting)

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.

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. (chuckles)

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. - (phone ringing) -JAMES: 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. - (line rings)

- 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. (weak chuckle)

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? (laughs)

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.
