The first 200 lines.
So, how's Trey settling in?
Fine.
He been asking about me?
Probably wants to grab a beer or something, right?
Hasn't brought you up once, actually.
Hey,
so I've been thinking on your middle name.
This middle name thing, you... s-stop trying to make it happen.
It doesn't mean you know me. Yeah, but you never know
when some small detail is gonna help us.
Connie at HQ. Urgent request
from Sheriff Shaw in Liberty Rise.
He's out by Harlan oil field and you're the closest in proximity.
Will do. What's the situation?
Shaw got a distress call from the oil field boss Bob Harlan.
When Sheriff arrived, he was DOA.
Says he saw the shooter making a run for it.
Hispanic male, yellow truck.
Yeah, roger that. Lead-foot it.
There he is.
It's got to be him.
Texas Rangers. Pull over.
Sir, pull your truck over now.
He's swerving.
You got to run him off.
New regs say it's last resort.
Micki, he hits that flare,
explosion will kill him, us and anyone
in the vicinity.
Do it.
Bulldog it, now!
Texas Rangers. Get out!
God.
Is he alive?
Yeah, he's still breathing.
We got to call an ambulance.
He's Olvidado gang.
Ladies and gentlemen,
it is my great pleasure to say to you our city is safer today
thanks to Sheriff Shaw taking another member
of the Olvidado gang off our streets.
We'll go ahead and take questions now.
Hey, Cap.
The Olvidados are bad apples,
but they deal in drugs and guns.
They don't mess with oil guys.
Enzo was a longtime employee.
Maybe he and Harlan had a falling out.
I'm not sure.
Hey, let's,
let's get you over here real quick.
Me? No. Well, Walker's not even here.
I know. Bear with me, okay?
Dog and pony show. Just grip and grin, grip and grin.
Ranger Ramirez is one of our newest Rangers
on the force.
She was key in apprehending Mr. Carillo.
Thank you, Ranger. Other questions.
Cap, who's she?
That is the perp's daughter, Delia Carillo.
You think I can go now? I mean...
Yeah. Go ahead.
"Well, that's well and good,
but why are you telling me?"
And the guy says, "You? I'm telling everybody."
Monty's really loving this run-up to retirement.
Guy would probably stage his own funeral just to listen
to the accolades.
You ever meet him when you were with APD?
No, I just heard stories.
I-I can't stop thinking about Enzo's daughter.
Olvidados have been terrorizing South Texas forever.
Can't be easy on her, you know?
Knowing her dad ran with bad people.
I should have said something.
It wasn't your place to say something.
You were doing your job.
All right. Monty Shaw
is one hell of a cop.
Not a criminal alive that could outrun
old Blue Twisted Steel here.
To Monty.
Stan, hey.
My new partner Micki.
Micki, Stan Morrison. Morrison Seed & Tack.Hey.
Stan is also co-chair
at the Department of Public Safety Commission.
They approve all new Ranger hires.
Ramirez, right? Yes, sir.
Hi.Pleasure to meet you. Welcome aboard.
I heard you bested Walker on horseback.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
That at the course.
I-I made up for it later on, believe me.
Okay, you can't let me have one?
No... Like, just one?
I'm just saying... Oof.
Good luck with that.Thanks.
Good to meet you.
Thank you much.
Thanks, man.
U-That was, that was actually for Micki.
Micki likes bourbon.
Especially in a joint like this.
Winston.
APD.A joint like this?
Hey. Hey. Come on, man.
What... Where's my drink?
What? I-I... Walker.
Muskrat showed you her new boater cycling skills yet?
Mu... W... What? No.
Winston. Yeah, stonewalling the gringo.
Look, Ramirez you've always been close to the vest.
It took us a while, but one day, she busted out the Muskrat.
You got to earn my trust, you know how I roll.
Besides, Walker barely knows me.
Wh... I'm trying. Come on, now.
I... She won't even tell me her middle name.
Damn.
What did you do? What did I do?
Yeah, what did you do? What didn't he do?
All right. Bourbon, you said?
Ramirez! Whoa.
Shaw.
Nice work on the Carillo case.
Are you worried about any blow back
from the Olvidados? Hell no.
And don't you worry, neither.
We're gonna make sure those boys don't bother you.
Hey, you know, Monty,
Micki here is a hell of a Ranger.
She can fend for herself.
Believe me. By the way,
congratulations. Thank you.
I'm learning. See?
It's not impossible.
You got a lot of stuff packed in here.
Is this all from the old place?
Yeah. That was the last trip.
Hey, Dad? Hey.
Can I paint my room?
Paint your room? Benjamin Moore
has this app that helps you choose colors. Okay
I like First Light.
First Light.
Very calming. Which would be great for you.
Now, please help us unpack.
He added me on Insta, my God.
Knock it off. Give me that. Okay, hey, hey.
Once we get unpacked, we can grab pizza.
Okay? Okay.Yeah. Yeah.
Stella, come on.
Don't tell me you hate pizza now. No, it's just
I have that community service thing
at the stables near the outlet mall.
The prison stable. Why there?
I don't know, I said I grew up on a ranch or something.
Well, listen to me.
We Rangers keep our horses there.
Prisoners help out, they have stable duty...
It's part of the rehab... and I'm sure
they'll be on a different rotation, and I'm sure
there'll be guards, but just steer clear.
Okay? Okay? Yeah.
Hey.Hey.
Stella's friend Bel...
How's the case going with her parents' immigration?
It's not good.
I confirmed from a colleague that they are on ICE's radar.
You think they'll get deported?
I hope not. I'm talking with them tomorrow.
Whoa.
Hey, what are you doing with that?
Nothing, nothing.
What is all this stuff?
You must have grabbed one of my old work boxes.
Nothing for you to worry about.
Just old case stuff. Um
room's looking good. Thank you.
Yeah. Thanks for helping, bud.
I'm gonna ask Mawline where I can stash this.
Then pizza. All right.
All right.
You scared me to heck and back.
Hey, Stan.
Hey, Abby. It smells good.
It's jalapeño pepper jam.
Ukulele last year, pepper jam this year.
Who knows, maybe next year she'll learn Italian.
It never hurts to try new things.
Keeps you young, right, Abbs?
That's what I keep saying.
Cordell is,
rooting around in the cellar.
Could you please ask him
for some more canning jars? Cordell!
Just a minute, Dad. How's he holding up?
I don't know how any man gets over losing his wife.
I think I left my Leatherman out in the truck. Excuse me.
Ooh. That's got some kick in it.
