There's the boss himself, Serano.
Hey, who's the other guy?
Uh, Micki, who is that?
Who's that other guy?
It's the one that got away.
There she is.
Yvette.
Been hearing about you for so long,
it kind of feels like...
like I know you.
Spider... rest in peace...
he spoke very highly of you.
I'm sorry, who are you?
GM here helps with personnel decisions.
Among other things.
All right, Walker,
keep your eye on our two bodyguards.
If there is any sign
- of trouble... - Yep.
On it, Cap.
We heard all about your little stunt getting Spider's car back.
And it's a good thing you did.
Yeah? It wasn't for Spider.
Well, reputation's one thing.
Meeting you face-to-face... that's another.
I was glad you finally called.
You seem pretty eager to work
your way up the crew, huh, Yvette?
Hey, Cap. Noting a "sign of trouble".
I need to make some real money.
And I like a challenge.
Micki, I want you to get out of there right now.
That's why you joined the military.
Spider was an over-sharer.
Yeah, I know the type.
I had a real wild childhood.
Always ran with the wrong crew.
Was hoping the military could help me channel that energy
- in the right way, but... - Crime pays.
It sure does.
What other jobs you do before you...
rolled into Del Rio?
Don't worry about them.
It's just a little game they like to play.
Robbery crew in Dallas.
Some wheel work in OKC.
- Did time in Hilltop... - Oh.
Who was the warden then?
Boudreaux.
He's a real bastard.
She's not wrong.
I don't get it.
A girl as pretty as you...
you must be breaking hearts all across this state.
Are you dating anybody?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Micki, what the hell are you doing?
Maybe the two of you
should keep your eyes on your boss
instead of playing with your squirt guns.
We got a live one here, boss.
Yvette! Where have you been?
'Cause we could've used you a couple of months ago.
Yeah? What was a couple months ago?
Ah, a little problem we're still cleaning up.
Well, I'm your girl.
GM, why don't you show her around?
But you stay in touch.
I might need the both of you later. Let's go.
Let's get you up to speed, Yvette.
On the move, Cap.
Micki, we'll be watching.
And here comes the heartburn.
- Synced and corrected by Firefly - - www.addic7ed.com -
I just want to point out that I'm here in detention
because I got punched in the face.
What? No, no, no.
You almost ran over my sister with your car.
No, no... she accused me of doing something I didn't do.
And that was your response?
I was wrong. But so were you for what you said.
Can we just skip to the end of The Breakfast Club?
You know, where all the archetypes start to get along?
Archetypes?
You know, the cool girl...
- The film geek... - Music is-is more my jam now.
The beautiful idiot...
Okay, you have got to stop calling yourself that.
The beautiful, misunderstood idiot.
And...
The one who shouldn't be here.
Okay, fine, Walker.
I get it. But I need you to call me.
All right?
Okay.
There seems to be some communication issues
that we need to...
August.
Eyes on me.
There seems to be some communication issues
that we need to deal with.
So, change in plans.
Field trip?
No, Todd.
We're going to do a training exercise.
Something I picked up in the military.
On your feet. Let's go!
Micki, we lost visual.
Wouldn't mind you looping us in on your location.
Ramirez?
Hey.
Who was this, uh, this-this "GM"?
You ever hear about him in your meet-ups?
Not once, no.
Sent Ranger HQ some snapshots of his smug mug, though.
- He was smug, wasn't he? - Very smug.
- Very s... - I mean, what was this thing about
the... "the one that got away"?
Actually, she said, "the one who got away".
- The one... Are we doing this right now? - I'm just saying what she said.
You lose Micki
- and we're doing this? - I lost Micki?
You, uh, want to listen to some music?
There's a mix CD in here I think you'd...
Relax.
Your little friends in your ear, they can't hear us in here.
Micki Ramirez.
It's been a long time, right?
Garrison, why am I not surprised
that you're somehow wrapped up in all this?
You always said that I was destined for a life of crime.
I didn't really want to disappoint you.
Well, you did. 14 years ago.
Always was one last job,
and it didn't matter how dangerous or selfish.
You know that's why I left.
Funny how life brought you right back here, huh?
- Together again. - Hilarious.
Why didn't you give me up back there with Serano?
You want out, don't you?
When my girlfriend...
Ex-girlfriend.
That's right. When my ex-girlfriend
turns out to be a Texas Ranger who's about to take down Serano,
yeah, I-I saw an opportunity.
Well, if you're willing to talk,
I'm guessing it's because you want a deal.
You still get me.
Maybe she went radio silence
for a reason. She's a good Ranger.
No, I know she's a good Ranger. Okay? But
going undercover... it's a different beast.
- Let's just trust her a beat, all right? - I do trust her.
All right, look.
Well, why didn't you trust me?
- What are you talking about? - About your theory
on the sniper in Austin. I was a target, too.
So help me understand why you didn't trust me.
- I had a protective detail on you. - I know you did.
I-I know that now.
But why didn't you tell me before?
Because I didn't want you spiraling out again, all right?
That lone wolf, blinders on to the world routine is done.
We can't have it anymore.
Yeah, I get it. And I don't want that either.
And that's-that's why I'm here, Cap.
I don't want to see the same damn thing happen to Micki.
Walker,
Captain James. You copy?
Ramirez, where the hell are you? We lost comms.
I'm with Serano's advisor.
Hey, Micki, who is this guy?
This, uh, this GM? What's his deal?
I can't tell yet, but...
he's been working with Serano for years.
He knows the operation. And...
I think he wants out.
Might even be willing to talk.
You want to make him a CI after one meeting?
- That's a little risky. - I understand
your concern, Cap, but this is why I'm here.
I think I can work him for Intel.
Maybe even about
Serano ordering that hit in Austin.
I just need more time to see if he can be trusted.
Trust me?
No, no, no. I need to trust you.
Hey, Micki, where are you now?
I'll touch base later.
No, Ramirez. Wait. Ramir...
She's hiding something.
I did, when I was under.
I am about to knock that smile off your face.
This isn't a game.
I need actionable Intel or I'm going to arrest
- your ass right now. - Okay.
Hand to God,
I'm about to perform a miracle.
You gotta be kidding me.
Nope.
Yet again, things come full circle.
You're under arrest.
No, I'm not.
- Plus, you don't have cuffs or a gun. - Maybe.
But I have combat skills and unfinished business.
Oh, okay, Yvette.
The key to everything that you want is just inside, though.
Inside the same church
we were supposed to be married in?
Same church you left me waiting.
A heartbroken young man of 19
stood right here, pining for his one true love.
Why are we really here?
Like I said.
The key's inside.
...and I stole a squirt gun when I was a kid
and I blamed it on my brother.
Garrison, we don't have time for this.
Patience is a virtue, Micki. Okay.
Fine, I'll skip ahead.
Listen, I never hurt anybody.
Okay, listen, I never hurt anybody physically.
But I feel like
I need to be forgiven
- for the emotional damage that I've caused. - Huh.
Not to mention the physical damage I'll cause
if you don't start giving me answers.
You think that this is a trap?
You really always have had trust issues.
We are in the Lord's house, Micki.
We are safe and sound.
My God.
Nothing's changed.
Some people never move on, I guess.
Micki, I meant what I said.
I am sorry.
I'm sorry for everything that I did to you.
And I'm sorry about the life that I've led.
But you can save me.
I can try.
But you gotta give me something.
Okay, okay. I will.
Listen, just imagine
the big warehouse at the end of Indiana Jones.
- And... - Last chance.
- Okay. Okay. - Why are we here?
I have evidence of every crime Serano committed.
Money laundering, drug trafficking,
and ordering that hit in Austin.
Wait, so you do know about that.
Of course I do. I advised him against it.
I thought it would just bring
too much heat on us, but he was paranoid.
He said that the whole operation was about to get taken down,
and now look.
I am in confession with a Texas Ranger.
And you can prove all of this?
Yes.
And I can prove Serano killed Spider.
Micki, he was my friend, too.
I should've been there that night.
And if Serano had him killed,
then it's... then it's only a matter of time
before...
How?
How can you prove all this?
You are about to find out.
Are you two here for Pre-Cana?
- Yes. - No.
Yes, Father, we are.
Hey.
Trey. Again.
He is asking for updates.
- What do I tell him? - Nothing. Yet.
We should loop Liam in on all this, though.
Yeah. Uh... probably best to cover our bases
and get the new DA up to speed, as well.
What, you're a team player now?
There's still some lingering tensions,
yeah, but I... but I figure
we should try and work together on this.
See it from all angles. Lessons learned,
remember?
All right, here we go.
Well, that's a warm welcome, you keeping me up to speed.
So, where are we at?
Ramirez made contact with Serano.
She's working a CI right now. We sent some
surveillance to Ranger HQ.
Hey, Denise... uh,
DA Davidson...
has Liam brought you up to speed on Serano?
Oh, I am well aware of Thomas Serano.
His drug ops
caused plenty of havoc up in Thalia
where I last worked. Managed to avoid prosecution
on any felony charges.
Do we have any admission of guilt on a wire?
Anything to tie him to the Austin sniper?
Not yet, no.
So, where is Ranger Ramirez now?
She's... She's with the potential CI.
Uh, she's currently off comms.
I feel I need to point out
that my brother may have been a target
in the shooting three months ago,
so his presence in Del Rio is a concern.
Yeah, uh...
Okay, while I appreciate your concern, Counselor,
but having spent a considerable amount of time undercover,
Ranger Walker has a unique perspective
on undercover operations.
I have to say he's our best shot.
One thing I think we can all agree on:
we need to identify who this informant is
and find out if he can be trusted.
We're on it.
Aha.
Smug mug.
It's all about trust,
a failure to communicate.
So...
we're gonna work on a little team building.
Oh, no.
All right, all right, all right.
Calm down. All right?
August, Todd, you're gonna be in locker room one.
Stella and Colton, locker room two.
You like those signs? I made 'em.
Now, each room has several doors.
Obviously, these doors right here are already unlocked.
But there's gonna be
one door on the inside that is locked.
And the key is hidden in your respective rooms.
- So it's like an escape room. - Exactly.
But one built on trust.
Communication.
Now, look, you're more than welcome
to just walk right outside these open doors
and go back to detention for the next six hours.
Or... you find the key,
unlock the door
and you're free to go home.
Are there any more clues?
Only that the history with your partner holds the key.
Wow.
All right, let's go.
Come on, you two.
Get a little bit more pep in your step! Let's go!
Best of luck. I'll be waiting.
We intended to tie the knot a long time ago
- and after 12... - Fourteen.
...14 years,
we are finally ready to do it.
Well, the Lord works in mysterious ways.
Oh, I bet that's not the first time
you've used that one, Father.
Well...
let me see our availability.
Okay, Mondays look good.
And Tuesday afternoon...
Church bookkeeper cooks the books for Serano.
Long story.
Trust me?
Nope.
Yeah, but you're getting there. Right?
- Ready? - What?
- Where are we going? - My place.
I have something to show you.
This is your place?
Don't act so surprised.
Nah, this is just my face.
No, this is your face looking at my tasteful digs.
Hah. And you ruined it.
Huh.
Nice place, Garrison.
Oh.
Well, heya, Micki.
We have a couple of questions.
Is there any reason
why you didn't feel the need to share the fact that
you knew each other?
If I told you before I questioned him myself,
you would've stopped me before I even had a chance.
Questioned him? That's what you're calling
- your little joyride around town? - Oh, I'm sorry.
Am I being lectured by the poster boy
of withholding information?
Excuse me, third graders.
Can we keep this about him, please?
Listen, if I'm calling the DA and asking for protection,
you're gonna need to tell me exactly
- what evidence you have. - I have a key,
right here,
that will tie Serano to a laundry list
of crimes he has committed statewide.
- You have a key? - Mm-hmm.
Hey, Walker, he has a key.
- Oh, he has a key. - Yes, he has a key.
Oh, great. What's it a key to?
Here's the thing: I... I can't tell you that
until you get me immunity.
Are we really talking about
cutting a deal with this guy?
You really don't have to.
But Serano is closing the circle.
Which means he's destroying evidence.
Which means the clock is ticking.
Okay, how do you know this?
Bumping off his own people is
a sure-as-shinola sign that Serano thinks
the walls are closing in.
But it started way before that.
Since Austin.
Felt like I... just got the sky all wrong.
I miss our drink and ink nights.
Hey. Hey. Go back.
What about Austin?
That's when Serano started getting paranoid.
After you arrested Stan.
That's why he wanted to take you out.
You were a thorn in his side and all of Northside Nation.
What does Northside Nation have to do with it?
Serano runs the Northside.
Stan Morrison worked for him.
I guess I gave you that one for free.
Okay.
You can prove all of this?
Yeah.
If you can get me...
Immunity. All right, all right. All right.
He could've told Serano who I was.
I'm calling the DA's office.
Mr. Murphy, we'd be willing to make you a deal
if you tell me one thing: Who was the Austin sniper?
Matt Phillips. Aka Spider.
What? No. That's not possible.
Micki...
Didn't you suspect him yourself?
Yeah, early on, but he wasn't a killer.
And he was trying to get out.
And he had problems with his vision.
That's probably why he missed.
Another botched job
in a growing list of screw-ups.
It's probably why Serano killed him.
Look, I-I liked Spider, too. I did.
But... it's the truth.
Okay.
Where is the evidence that can prove any of this?
Uh, there's a key
that is to an accounting office downtown.
They have all the financial records
of Northside's operations.
They laundered all of Serano's funny money.
And I can tell you about the offshore accounts.
But I'm gonna need that deal.
Okay. If Serano is closing up shop,
then time is of the essence.
Mr. Murphy, you have yourself a deal.
But if any of this turns into a wild goose chase,
I will make sure that you are put away forever.
That's something I'd like to avoid.
- Stay in touch, Captain. - Yeah.
I'm sorry, you've been here a week,
you're already making a deal with a CI
who had a previous relationship with Ranger Ramirez?
- You don't trust her? - She's in too deep.
And I've seen firsthand what happens
to someone when they've been under for too long.
Fair point.
Any other concerns?
Del Rio is in Val Verde County.
It's not even our jurisdiction.
Which is why I'm headed there right now.
To loop in their DA.
Wait. What?
You're going to Del Rio?
Liam, I share your concerns.
Which is why I want to be there,
to make sure that nobody screws this up.
But we have the chance
to take down the head of Northside Nation.
So I hope that's a goal that we can work together on.
Ugh.
I wonder how long we'll smell like socks.
Where is this key?
So, uh, what's with Colton?
His family and yours don't get along?
Yeah. My grandma broke up with their grandpa
and then they blamed us for some fire
that happened, like, decades ago.
Oh. Abby the heartbreaker, huh?
Guess it runs in the family.
Ruby. Spirit week last year.
You know she ditched me for you, right?
Yeah. I'm... I'm really sorry about that, dude.
Ah, no. Not your fault, man.
We were all better when we were friends.
Heads up.
Oh, dude.
Ah...
You know, Coach Trey said that
"your history with your partner holds the key".
Maybe that's why he paired us together.
To talk about Ruby?
Yeah, I... I don't know, maybe...
maybe it can help us find the key somehow.
Um...
We met in the A/V club.
And the-the three of us filmed those games, remember?
Look.
Oh...
There's hundreds of 'em.
Yeah.
What was the first one we filmed?
Stafford.
I hooked up with one of their cheerleaders.
It was memorable.
Uh, good to know.
Oh-ho-ho-ho!
- Let's go! - Let's go, baby.
Congratulations. You're free.
Thank you.
- Hey, thank you as well. - Let's go.
How you doing in there?
Ooh, how do you think?
I think you need to work on your communication skills.
Maybe with your cellmate?
We may as well try and find the stupid key together.
Oh, fine.
Why are you so angry?
Oh, probably my parents' divorce and general anxiety issues.
I'm sorry. Not having
your parents together... it's hard. I get it.
No, no, no. I... I don't want them together.
That's-that's the point.
They'd be happier apart,
and now they're gonna put me in the middle of it all.
Have you tried talking to them about it?
Look, can we not do this part?
Cool?
Okay, so the top floor
is like a data farm. You're gonna need a zip drive.
If they haven't wiped the files already.
The search warrant is to obtain all the files
for companies affiliated with Serano.
And that means we're gonna need the names
of all the shell companies Northside Nation was using.
And this?
Bottom floor, archives.
There's windows on the side of the building.
It opens up to an old-school records room.
Kind of like the room at the end of Indiana Jones.
Where do I look?
- Austin Eyes and Ears, Inc. - Yeah.
Yeah, let's go.
Well, hey, hey, what?
You're not going in.
I'm a Ranger with a warrant.
Northside had people in the hospital
when I got Carlos Mendoza.
He could have people there now, and if they see a Ranger
flash a badge, it...
Not good. I agree.
Shut up. You're both going in, all right?
Walker, by the books.
- Micki, you get to be Yvette one last time. - Okay, Cap,
- are you sure about this? - Listen.
Everybody gets one last time, all right?
Technically, whatever she finds
is admissible as part of the search.
- Yes, sir. - All right, let's do it.
Be careful.
Howdy.
How can I help you?
Cordell Walker, Texas Rangers.
Uh, I have a warrant for you to hand over any e-files
in connection with a suspect currently under investigation.
Texas Rangers.
Yes, ma'am.
Which files?
Austin Eyes and Ears, Inc.
- Follow me. - You got it.
Yvette?
What are you doing here?
Serano sent me.
No, he didn't.
- Cuffs! Cuffs! - I got it. I got it. I got it.
I got it. We got to get out of here.
Come on.
Come on!
We got to go!
Let's go.
A fire's spreading to the top floor.
Send all units in the area.
Is Cordell in there? Are they both in there?
Serano sent someone to destroy the evidence.
We got to get in there right now.
Just stay where you are.
You need to do something!
I'm going in.
You were, uh, talking about your mom earlier, right?
You know about that?
Well, our parents grew up together, so...
Anyway, um...
I'm-I'm sorry.
I shouldn't complain about living parents
who fight over idiotic crap.
Yeah.
What I wouldn't give for a fight
about who takes out the trash.
That's reductive, but thanks.
Wait, Barnett knows
our folks know each other, right?
Shared history.
Try locker 101.
It's the military call code for poor communication.
10-1.
Coach Trey is a vet and a dork.
- Music theory? - Well, I-I told
the principal I was interested when I transferred.
It's-it's whatever.
Success.
Okay, that's just creepy you're standing right there.
I'm literally not supposed to be doing anything else
but watching you guys.
It's detention.
But, hey, looks like it's over.
Go on. Enjoy your lives. Go.
_
Damn it.
Okay. What else do we have?
You have me.
- Walker, come on, y... - You know it's true, Micki.
And I'm down here. I'm not letting you go this solo.
If Serano is taking out his own people,
chances are he still wants me dead.
And I'm here now, on his turf. More of a threat.
So you want to put a target on yourself?
When I came down here to prevent exactly that?
Hey, Micki's right.
The last three months are a waste
if we just put you in the crosshairs.
It's not a waste if it works.
We need to get this done.
Hey, Micki?
You should take a look at this.
_
We're gonna have to move forward without that evidence.
It's shot.
I'm open to any ideas.
I'm your huckleberry.
What?
I'm the man for the job.
Yeah, Garrison, you don't really get a say in this.
Actually, I think that I do get a say
when my life is on the line.
My cover isn't blown yet, right?
You give me my phone back, I bet there's a couple missed calls
from Serano. He expects me.
So I use that, try to set up
a meeting. I tell him it didn't work out
with Yvette, and we see what he wants.
I'll wear a wire.
I don't know.
That's taking a hell of a risk.
I know.
And if I do make it,
I will very much enjoy my anonymous life in Maui.
Thank you for offering.
Look, I'm his right hand.
He talks to me, and the fact is
he loves to talk, and I can get him
to own up to the Austin job.
And Spider.
Micki, I owe it to Spider.
Why's everybody got to be a damn maverick on my watch?
Dad didn't pick you up?
Well, my mom took my car. After everything.
Get in the car, Davidson.
? To everything I couldn't fix ?
? And all of my shortcomings ?
? And all of your. ?
All right, I'll be right back.
You want me to bring you back a beer or popcorn
- or...? - Okay, can you not undersell this?
Relax. I waited half my life
for you to come back. You can wait a half an hour for me.
You know what's a great way to pass the time?
Mm. What?
- A mix CD. - Oh, my God.
Come on, I'm walking into the abyss.
You can't even listen to my last sonic love letter?
Don't pull that. You did not make this for me.
I made it thinking of you.
Does that count?
Just go. And be safe, okay?
Now she wants me to go.
And she's worried about me.
Hey.
I-I'm sure you got somebody waiting for you back in Austin.
And I'm happy for you.
And who knows? Maybe...
Maybe I'll finally do something right with my life.
Or I'm just gonna keep losing the girl, you know?
Wow.
He was there.
This is Ramirez. Anyone got eyes on Garrison?
Garrison, you copy?
Walker, you got a visual?
I do.
He's heading up the stairs in the back.
All right.
Vehicle parked out front.
It's the same one Serano and his bodyguards drove earlier.
Garrison, can you hear us?
Garrison, check in.
Micki, give him a sec.
Maybe he went dark for a reason.
Let's go. Let's go.
Garrison.
Thanks for coming. Glad you could make it.
You see, there's this thing
I wanted to talk to you about.
Wire went dead. Anybody have eyes on Garrison?
How'd you know?
Earl and Horace, of course.
Tipped me off
about a certain Ranger Ramirez.
Or is it Ranger Yvette?
Now, there's only one way out of this.
Or I'm gonna kill you
and that pretty little lady of yours, too.
Anybody have eyes on Garrison or Serano? Anyone?
Moving in for a closer look.
Walker, wait.
This might be a trap. Wait!
What are you talking about?
Garrison was at the bar the night Spider was killed.
Look, he might've killed Spider himself.
Or this is all a setup.
I'm going in.
Got a visual on Serano.
I'm gonna take him down.
Walker, you stand down.
You hear me? Stand down.
This is the head of it all.
We're not gonna get another chance.
Why?
Why did you lie this whole time?
Spider was hired to kill Stan Morrison
and any other Ranger who got in the way.
And you were right. Spider was getting soft.
He got cold feet,
so I took the job for him.
If I didn't, somebody else would,
and they wouldn't miss.
Did you miss on purpose?
Yeah.
But I can't do that this time.
Serano said he'd kill you
if I didn't go through with this.
You're gonna have to stop me, Micki.
Next shot won't miss!
No!
No. No!
Garrison! Hold on.
No!
No. No, come on.
Garrison!
Serano's on the move.
He's on the move.
No. No.
Out of the car with your hands behind your head right now.
Let's go. Let's go.
Garrison!
No!
Hold on! Hold on!
I'm losing you. Come on!
Garrison!
- No! - Micki.
No!
Come on. Come on. No!
No!
- It's not your fault. - No.
No!
- Hey. Flor. - What?
What do you need?
I need to drive.
- Thanks. I'll take him from here. - Is she gonna be okay?
Uh, yeah. I'm gonna keep an eye on her.
Yeah.
And what about you?
I mean, w-watching you walk out of that fire...
Yeah. Yeah.
Probably not a great memory. Um...
No.
Maybe something we should, uh, deal with.
Hey, Cordell.
I'll be seeing you.
Ah, two roads diverged.
Uh, I can walk from here.
- Don't be weird. - We've been sitting
on our asses all day. I need to walk.

We help it.
? True love will find you ?
? In the end ?
? You're gonna find out who was your friend ?
? Don't be sad ?
? I know you will ?
? But don't give up until ?
I like this song.
? True love will find you ?
Me, too.
? In the end ?
? True love will find you in the end ?
? True love will find you in the end. ?
