There you go.
- Come on. You got this, Wyatt. - Come on, baby.
Mom, please don't call me a baby
when I'm trying to lift an actual baby fork.
Okay. My bad. My bad.
There it is.
Alright, that's it. That's it.
Mm-hmm. Ooh.
- Hey, alright. - Good work.
I mean, that was the, that was the best one yet.
Yeah. Good job, sweetie.
I tell you what, it's gonna be no time at all
till you lift a fire hose.
Oh, at least nobody's getting ahead of themselves.
Here you go.
Take a little rest. You earned it.
This has to be a good sign, right?
Oh, it's definitely a good sign.
Hopefully after the nerve and muscle test today,
we'll have some good news.
- Mm-hmm. - Yeah, I know we will.
- Hmm. - Yeah, me, too. Me, too.
How's your pain?
It's better than yesterday.
And a lot better than the day before that.
That's another good sign.
Yeah, I mean, in his case, the pain is the good sign, right?
Hi. I know y'all are waiting for the tech to come by
to administer the electromyogram
and-and nerve conduction velocity tests.
Yeah, but only for about the last six hours or so.
I'm so sorry, but she got called to another unit.
She'll have to come by tomorrow.
Oh, for crying out loud.
Uh, tomorrow is fine, right? It's not like I'm going anywhere.
I'm so sorry. We'll bring by dinner soon.
Alright, thank you.
Y'all pardon me for a second. I gotta call Owen and tell him
I'm not going to be at the firehouse tomorrow either.
Wait, why?
Well, you just heard the nurse, right?
I-I wanna be here for the test.
Dad, it's not like they do the test and then give you the results.
They have to interpret them.
Please, please don't miss another shift.
You know, I'll be here.
I'll call you as soon as we know anything.
Y'all sure?
Seriously, Dad, I'm just gonna sleep
and try not to go insane that I have an itchy ankle.
So you have an itch?
Definitely. Yeah. Both of them. Since this morning.
Wait, really? You feel them?
Mm-hmm. Yeah. They're driving me crazy.
Oh, baby, that is amazing.
I think that's about as good a sign as we could hope for.
Truly. That's...
My boy's got itchy feet.
Hmm.
Where?
- Dad. - Is this a bad time?
No, we were just expecting some friends.
Oh, I can come back another time.
No. Dad, come on.
- Yeah? - Yes.
- Hi. - Hey.
- How are you? - How you doing, TK?
Can I get you something to drink?
Uh, just water, please.
I'm meeting Andrea at Ditallio's in 20 minutes.
Ooh, okay.
Which is why I was in the neighborhood.
What's going on? Come on, sit down.
So, uh...
The name Reyes came up in the Ranger daily briefing today.
But not my name. Yours.
Everyone I work with is talking about
how my son took down an organ trafficking ring.
Not single-handedly.
I hope you made that clear.
Why would I wanna do that?
I can crow about my son if I want, right?
Yeah, you can.
It's not the first time you've given me reason to be proud.
In fact, Assistant Chief Bridges
is wondering why you're still working patrol.
He thinks APD is squandering your talents.
Oh, it's not the APD's fault.
I mean, Sarina Washington
has been on him to take the detective exam.
I already told Detective Washington
and my eager fiancé here
that I don't think it's the right move for me.
You know what? I agree.
- You do? - I do.
I mean, APD is a fine organization.
But why would you wanna take the detective's exam
when you could become a Texas Ranger?
Wow.
Babe?
Uh...
Uh, that would be an incredible honor.
But I-I could get transferred to Amarillo or Brownsville.
- Our lives are here. - No, you wouldn't be.
You'd be working right here, right next to your old man.
I don't know.
This feels like nepotism.
It's not nepotism. It's legacy.
Just like TK followed Owen into the fire services.
But if it makes you feel any better, this offer isn't coming from me.
It's coming directly from Assistant Chief Bridges.
I'm just here to extend it.
I'm sorry, but I can't.
Look, uh... I know it's a lot of pressure,
but you've got the chops for it.
Don't be afraid of success, son.
It's not success that bothers me.
I... just don't think that the Rangers are for me.
Can-can we just leave it at that?
What do you mean not for you? Something bothering you?
Well, their motto for one.
"One Riot, One Ranger."
Well, that's just hyperbole, son. It's bluster.
The Porvenir massacre.
Was that bluster?
Well, what's the Porvenir massacre?
The Rangers gunned down 15 unarmed Tejano men and boys
as part of their mission to secure Texas territories,
specifically from groups of Mexican and indigenous descent.
That was 1918.
Yeah, but that still remains their mission to this day.
And there are plenty more examples
of them victimizing, terrorizing innocent people
that look exactly like us.
It sounds like you're calling me a Tío Tomás.
No, I didn't say that, Dad.
I do understand the desire to be accepted by people
who have historically rejected you.
I see.
And can I ask how long you've felt this way?
The legacy of the Texas Ranger isn't exactly a secret, Dad.
No.
I mean, how long have you been ashamed of me?
Hey, hey, hey!
Party, party!
- Hey. - Hey.
I hope you two pretty boys are ready
to go down tonight because I'm feeling particularly ruthless today.
Yeah, she is not kidding.
Should have seen the way she slipped into my parking spot earlier.
Hey, what's up, Major Reyes?
You here for game night?
No, I was just leaving. You folks have fun tonight.
- Synced and corrected by synk - - www.addic7ed.com -
Hey, bud. How you doing?
I'm alright. Hey...
sorry we had to cancel the group hang like that.
- Aw man, no worries. - Looks like we walked in on
some pretty serious family drama.
Well, the rift between Carlos and his dad isn't new.
It just sucks that it opened up right before the wedding, you know?
So, what's your plan?
- The plan for what? - To heal the rift!
Who's riftin'?
Carlos and his dad.
Well, they could always settle it the Ryder way.
Oh yeah? And what's the Ryder method?
Well, anytime me and my brothers were fightin',
my dad would just kind of shove us all into the closet
and if we didn't come out friends, we didn't come out.
Well that sounds like a case for Child Protective Services!
Yeah, and I think forcing Carlos into a closet
is what started all this in the first place.
So, forget the closet.
Why don't you just get them to sit down with each other?
I don't think a sit-down is gonna fix this, Nance.
Why not? They settled two World Wars that way.
Yeah, well, that and an atomic bomb.
Okay.
You know what I think they need?
- Hm? - A good go-between.
I'm not tryin' to get in between that.
But maybe I'm not the one that has to.
Mateo, you're a genius, thank you!
Peek-a-boo!
A-peek-a-boo.
I see you.
Peek-a-boo!
A-peek-a-boo.
I see you. Yes, I do.
Oh. All done.
Uh, sorry, ma'am. I-I didn't mean to scare you.
It's just that I ran outta gas,
and I just, and I realized I forgot my wallet.
- Oh, I'm sorry. - Yeah.
And my son's home alone, so anything
you can spare, it would really help.
Sure. I-I think I've got a 20.
Oh, well, cool. Well, God bless you.
- I'll take the keys as well. - Wait, wait.
Come on, give me the keys!
Wait! Wait! Wait!
My daughter's in there!
Piper! Piper!
Wait! Help!
Piper!
_
Somebody kidnaped your child?
Yes, he carjacked me at knife-point.
My daughter was still in the backseat when he drove off.
Okay, take a deep breath for me. My name is Grace.
Can you tell me where you were when your car was stolen?
At the Gas N' Sip off Fifth and Pine.
And the make and model of your vehicle?
A red Corolla, 2010.
Can you describe your daughter for me?
She's 13 months old. She has dirty blonde hair.
And her name is Piper.
All units, be advised. 20-04 in progress.
A 2010 red Toyota Corolla
southbound on the 400 block of Brodie Avenue.
Please be advised the suspect is armed with a knife
and has a toddler in the backseat.
Dispatch, 3-3-1-M-40.
I have the suspect moving up on Brodie and Crockett.
Copy you. 3-3-1-M-40.
I'm sending more units your way now.
Shut up! Shut up!
He's weaving all over the place. Driver seems to be impaired.
You're not thinking about laying down spike strips, are you?
Not with a baby on board, I'm not.
He could lose control of the vehicle.
Which also rules out a pit maneuver.
We're just gonna let it run its course.
If we stop him, we could make things worse.
Well, we won't be able to stop him,
but maybe we can slow him down?
126 in position.
Okay, copy you, 126. APD, you ready?
Locked and loaded. Here we go.
126, it's your time to shine.
Get outta the way!
Box him in! Box him in!
Alright, Ryan, slow it down. Nice and easy.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on!
Easy.
Oh, son of a bitch.
Ladder 126, keep it tight.
I'm gonna lead him to the side street.
- Copy. - We're gonna make a turn.
Let's follow him in this turn.
Go, go, go, go, go, go.
Alright, slow it down.
Grab your gear, let's go.
Vehicle's submerged in a pool.
Send medical attention immediately.
Whoa.
I'll get the kid.
Hey!
Don't even think about it.
Come on.
Nancy, park it right there.
- Copy. - TK, prep the O2.
- Get her to medical. - Yeah.
Alright, just put her on the gurney.
TK, take her ABCs.
I don't have a breath.
I don't have a pulse either, Cap.
Alright, starting compressions.
- Nancy, rescue breaths. - Copy.
- Oh. - Come on, now.
Come on.
Dispatch, do we have a name for this baby?
Piper. Her name is Piper.
Piper?
Hey, Piper. Come on.
Come on.
Come on, baby. Let's see those pretty eyes.
Okay, Piper.
Sweetheart, listen to me. Come on.
Your mama wants to see you.
That's it. That's it!
Dispatch...
Piper's fine.
Let her mama know. Piper's gonna be just fine.
There you go.
I don't have to, Captain, 'cause you just did.
Thank you.
Thank all of you.
Hey, babe, I'm at the park,
but I don't see you, so just call me back.
Mom?
What are you doing here?
Same as you.
Fresh air and some tacos.
TK put you up to this, didn't he?
A mother needs to be put up to having lunch with her only son?
Por favor. Siéntate.
I got you an Al pastor y Una arrachera.
Mm. My favorites.
Okay, so let's hear it.
I understand that you and your father
had a little disagreement over the Texas Rangers.
No, there's no disagreement.
It was just a matter of factual record.
They have a history of utilizing violence against us,
Latine and indigenous peoples.
They fought efforts to desegregate schools in the '50s...
And they also have a history of kicking the crap out of the KKK,
shutting down Jim Crow, and stopping human traffickers.
Not to mention, they got Bonnie and Clyde.
Hmm. Another case of overkill.
Do they have blood on their hands, mijo? Yes.
But what organization that's 200 years old doesn't?
That's not an excuse, Mom.
Let me tell you a little something about this man you think you know.
When your father started off with the Rangers,
there were 96 sworn officers.
Do you know how many of them were people of color?
Two. And that's including your father.
Yeah. I think you're making my point for me.
You know, mijo,
did you know that when your father got promoted to Captain,
he began spearheading a campaign to recruit and train
talented people of all backgrounds and genders?
- No. - Well, he did.
And you know what percent of the Rangers
are of color or women today?
Five?
Almost 30.
More than a tenfold increase under his watch.
- Hmm? - Wow. I didn't know that.
When was the last time you heard your father
boasting about anything other than the Astros bullpen?
Right.
He doesn't brag about it because...
he thinks that there's still plenty of work
that needs to be done.
But your father is a good and honest man.
And he deserves your respect.
I do respect him.
But are you proud of him?
Of course I am. He knows I am.
Does he? Because I'm not so sure.
Well, I spent my whole life not knowing if he was proud of me.
So I guess that's only fair.
You know what I think, mijo?
I think this tension between you
is about more than just the Texas Rangers.
You're entitled to feel whatever you're feeling,
but whatever it is,
you need to let it out.
Because the one thing our family has learned the hard way...
silence only makes things worse.
Well, I mean, look, Marlene, I-I...
I appreciate you telling me as soon as you found out,
and, uh, tell Wyatt that I'll-I'll be there as soon as my shift's over.
Okay. Buh-bye.
- Hey, Juddy. - Hey, T.
Any news on Wyatt?
Actually, the doctor's report just came in and, uh...
they just finished his, uh...
the nerve conduction study. And the electro... the...
Electromyography.
- Yeah. Yeah. - Yeah, yeah. And?
It...
Talk to me.
They say his arms, his hands are good, you know?
But his legs have a...
a decreased conduction velocity or something.
I see.
And the doctors just, just said that they, you know,
they think that that means that there's a 99% chance
that he won't ever walk again.
Hey.
Ninety-nine ain't a hundred.
Okay? And you never know. Nerves can regenerate.
- That's what they said, too. - Mm-hmm.
Right. And-and the, uh, the conduction in his hands
is better, though, right?
Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
No, he can make a fist and, uh...
He can almost pick up his own fork.
There you go. Alright, that's good.
- That's good. - Tommy, honey...
I don't know how we got to a world where
my boy being able to pick up a fork is a good thing, you know?
It means that he can take care of himself.
And he can hold his baby.
Yeah, I know.
But he's supposed to be doing other things.
He's supposed to be swinging an ax.
He's supposed to be running a line
and putting out a fire and saving people.
He wanted to do that.
I know.
I know, Judd.
How's Wyatt taking it?
He don't know.
He doesn't know?
The doctor came in there and he was asleep.
And, uh, Marlene has medical power of attorney.
So the doctor went over all the results with her.
She called me and, uh...
We agreed we're gonna tell him together, you know?
So I got that to look forward to.
Honey. I know. Okay.
Is there anything, anything I can do?
You're already doin' it. I just...
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
I don't know how I'm gonna break that... news to him.
And, uh...
I don't know about after that either.
Uh, yeah. Yeah. Y'all got a long road ahead.
Yeah, that's for sure.
Just remember, miracles happen.
I guess.
We've both seen 'em.
Seen the other way a lot more often, though, ain't we?
You know?
- Hey. - Hey, Judd.
- Hey, Dad. - Leigh Ann here?
Uh, no, no.
She has finals coming up, so I sent her home to study.
Well, that was considerate of you.
Aah!
He's making progress.
He's doin' real good.
Uh, oh, I got you this...
Oh, thank you so much.
Uh, what is it?
It's just, um, it's just a little scratcher.
That way if it feels like there's ants going across your foot,
you can give it a scratch.
Yeah, I appreciate it. Thank you.
Oh, Dad, before you ask,
no, they still haven't brought by my test results, which, um...
- Yeah. - Super annoying, but...
What?
Um, actually, sweetheart,
they did bring your test results while you were sleeping.
Why-why didn't you tell me?
'Cause your mom and I wanted to tell you together.
Why?
Oh.
So it's bad?
Um...
How bad is it?
- Uh... - They...
Wh-what they, what they're saying
is that the nerve conduction in your legs ain't what it should be.
Meaning...
They don't expect you to gain function of 'em anytime soon.
Or at all?
But-but, no, my, uh, my feet.
Remember, they were, they were itching earlier?
How could I feel them if they were itching, you know?
Well, the doctor said that they can still be itchy.
You know, it's like, um, phantom limb pain.
Or it could be that the neural pathways are still...
still firing.
But they don't think I'll ever walk again.
I don't give a damn what they think.
Okay, so... what am I looking at?
What do you mean?
I mean, like, what-what, what happens next?
They're gonna transfer you to another facility
where you're gonna start working on
physical and occupational therapy every day.
What is that? Occupational therapy?
Well, it's where they...
it's where they teach you how to get control
of your arms and your, and your hands again.
And...
You know, how to, how to...
how to brush your teeth, how to, how to comb your hair.
You know, how to, how to live your life.
Well, I'm never, I'm never even gonna see
outside of a hospital again, am I?
Yeah, you are, too.
- It's gonna be two Mon... - Yes.
They said three months at the most.
- Three months? - Either way, you're gonna be done
by the time Leigh Ann has the baby.
No, I don't think I can do it, Mom.
- Yes, you can. - Okay, okay.
- I can't do it, no. - Hey.
I wanna go home, please. Please, I just wanna go home, okay?
Please. Can we go home?
Wyatt, look at me.
- You got this, baby. - Mom, I can't do it.
I can't.
Hey, babe.
Hey.
Charlie, go down okay?
Uh, she did. It took a few encore readings
of This is Not My Hat.
But she did eventually go down, yes.
What you doing?
I'm just, I'm going over these...
places that they wanna send Wyatt to
after he gets discharged.
Uh-huh.
It's called a SNIF.
A Skilled Nursing Facility.
That don't exactly have a pleasant ring to it, do it?
Um, it's not the most inviting, no.
Well, it-it actually, it looks worse than it sounds.
I looked it up. It's just a big concrete block off 79.
Right? He'd have a roommate.
He'd have to share a TV with somebody.
He'd have one window and he'd be looking out at a parking lot.
We knew this wasn't gonna be easy.
Grace, I think that place would break him.
I'm not sure there's much we can do about it, honestly.
I mean, there is.
Like, he could come here.
In the house?
- Look, Grace. Grace, Grace. Hang on. - Wait...
There ain't no reason that we can't set up his bed
in the living room, right?
And then we do all his therapy here.
Sweetheart.
Okay, but where would the nurses stay?
Because Wyatt would need around-the-clock care.
Exactly. For his occupational, uh, therapy and his PT.
- I mean... - It's not just that, sweetheart.
Wyatt needs professionals
to come in and change his catheters, to bathe him.
Turn him over so that he doesn't get bedsores. All of that stuff.
Are those things that you would be ready for?
Maybe not.
But I will be.
And in the meantime, the nurses, they can come and go as they please.
They can give him any care that he needs.
Who will be here to let them in the house?
Me. I'll do it.
Judd, you're gonna quit your job?
Babe...
for 17 years, I wasn't there for that boy.
And I have a chance to make that right.
And I ain't gonna miss it.
Okay.
Alright, you won't.
I love you.
Okay.
- Hey, Carlitos. - Hey.
You-you have a minute?
Sure. Come on in.
Were you doing puzzles?
Yeah.
Why, is that strange?
I didn't know you did puzzles.
Your mom and I got into them during the pandemic and...
Well, it helps me take my mind off work.
Um...
You want something to drink? Beer, green tea?
- Green tea? - What?
Since when do you drink green tea?
A couple years now.
They say it's good for blood pressure and general wellness.
General wellness?
Who the hell are you right now?
- Hey, Dad. - Huh?
I didn't like how we left things the other day.
Yeah.
Neither do I.
I just want you to know that I'm sorry.
You don't have to say you're sorry.
If the Rangers is not for you, then it's not for you.
I'm not sorry about what I said
but the way I said it.
You never have to apologize to me for telling the truth.
And the truth is...
I didn't exactly give you a laundry list of things
to be proud of when you were growing up.
And that's something I'm gonna regret to my dying day.
No. That wasn't the truth.
I'm proud of you, Dad.
And I'm proud to be your son.
Carlitos, you don't have to say all that.
I'm not just saying all that.
You're the best man I know.
And that's why I would like you to be my best man.
Best man?
Your... For your wedding?
- Me? - If you'd be willing.
If I'd be willing?
You couldn't...
It would be the greatest honor of my life.
Ah.
Thank you. Thank you.
I love you, Dad.
I love you, too.
You know what? Screw the green tea.
We're drinking tequila. Come on, let's celebrate.
Hello, hello.
Oh, in here.
This was on your tailgate.
My milk. Thank you.
You do a little shopping?
Yeah. Robert and his family are flying in for the wedding
and I figured I'd stock up,
but I wanted to do it while Mateo's out of the house.
He's staying with Nancy while the family's here.
That'll be good for you.
Oh no, I love Mateo.
No, no, no. I mean...
you'll get to spend some time with, uh, your new family.
My new old family.
Yeah.
New old family.
I think that's what I'm here about, too, Cap.
My new old family.
Uh...
Cap, I have to quit.
You have to quit what?
My job.
What are you talkin' about?
We're bringing Wyatt home to live with us.
And, uh...
I made the decision I'm gonna, I'm gonna be his caretaker full-time.
I think you mean caregiver.
Yeah. Oh, yeah, 'cause he ain't a ranch.
I know. Gracie keeps fixing me on that, too, but...
Okay, but given Wyatt's condition,
isn't he gonna need a very specific type of caregiving?
Well, yeah, he-he's going to. He's going to have all that.
He's gonna have all the nurses and the therapists that he needs.
But then I'll be his day-to-day, you know?
And he won't be with a bunch of strangers, right?
He-he'll have his dad.
I don't know what to say.
I don't either.
Actually, I do. Don't quit. Don't do it.
Call it a temporary leave of absence.
Uh, if you file for early retirement,
you're only gonna get 40% of what you have coming to you.
I understand that.
But if I put in right now, they'll give me a big chunk of it up front
from all that sick time and vacation
I racked up over the years. You know, over 20 years.
And, uh...
we got some expenses now.
It's...
It's-it's-it's not cheap to turn your front parlor
into a rehabilitation center.
Well, you've really thought about this.
Man, I-I don't know if I thought about it long,
but I do reckon I've made my decision.
Damn it, Judd.
- I wanna thank you... - Owen.
In here.
- Hey. - Hey.
Oh. Hey, Sydney.
- It's good to see you again. - Hey, Owen.
- Thanks for having us. - Thank you.
Judd, this is my brother Robert and, uh, his wife Sydney.
And his girls, Yvonne and Hannah.
And, everybody, this is Judd Ryder, he's...
my best friend.
So y'all girls came all the way out here for your cousin's wedding?
Yeah, for the wedding of our cousin who we've only met over FaceTime.
Well, he's gonna appreciate you comin' all that way, I bet you.
So... I'll tell you what.
I'm gonna get outta y'all's hair.
- Very nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
Yeah. Well, you, too.
And, uh...
We'll see ya. Ladies.
Everybody, if you'll indulge me,
I just wanna say a few things.
Uh-oh. Dad, how drunk are you?
I am not drunk.
I am just naturally ruddy-cheeked.
So as I look around this table,
it is impossible for me to state my gratitude.
It was almost four years ago that I dragged my son,
if not kicking, then certainly a little bit screaming,
from New York to Texas.
I had just accepted a job rebuilding a fire station
that had suffered...
unbelievable loss and grief.
It was a good cause and a noble one,
but not at all why we came.
I was desperate to save my son's life...
and maybe my own.
I-I believe in AA. It's what you call doing a, a geographic,
moving away from the danger,
which is not usually a Strand's first instinct.
TK...
I couldn't save you in New York.
And the truth is, I couldn't save you here either.
You had to do it.
And you have.
I could not be more proud of you, Son.
Carlos...
when I see you and TK together,
I realize that coming to Austin isn't...
the roll of the dice that I thought.
It was meant to be.
And, uh, if TK's mother were here,
I'm sure that she would be able to say this all
in a much better way than-than I have.
She's here, Owen.
And you said it pretty well.
To TK and Carlos.
And the Strand-Reyes clan.
Reyes-Strand.
Only one each, kids.
Solamente uno.
You heard your daughter. One.
They have tres leches and galletas, how can I just pick one?
Ma, it's a celebration. Cut him some slack.
Yeah, well, you tell him that when he tries to squeeze
into his tux later.
He already has too much slack.
- Do we really have to do that tonight? - Yes.
And then you're gonna get started on your speech.
Ay, por favor, the wedding isn't until this weekend.
You are gonna give a best man speech after Owen Strand.
Did you not hear that man's toast?
- Por favor. - I mean, he was alright.
Hey, brother, that glass looks a little low.
Oh, well, then help a brother out.
Here you go.
How great is this, huh?
Family, all together like this.
Oh, it's-it's magic is what it is.
Stop staring, Owen.
Have you told 'em?
Yeah, we told 'em last week.
I mean, it's not like I was gonna be able
to keep this a secret much longer anyway.
How did they take it?
At first, they were just devastated.
And it turned out that they were
stronger than I could have ever imagined.
How so?
Syd maybe turned into a little bit of a Nurse Ratched.
You know, she's always making sure
I take my pills and...
And Hannah offered to quit her Summer Stock
so she could be around more.
Yvonne is waking up early every morning
to make me breakfast.
That's so great.
No, the gesture sure is, but, uh, the food, not so much.
I mean, it's-it's mostly this-this porridge and cream of wheat.
It's just stuff that's easy to swallow.
Is, is it becoming hard for you to swallow?
Every damn thing about this is becoming hard to swallow.
But... yes.
This disease is a hungry beast.
But that is not what tonight is about.
- Tonight is about... - This.
Hello.
- Back again? - Yeah.
I just didn't want him to have to spend the night alone, so...
That's very sweet.
You want me to see if I can find you a cot?
No. No, that's alright.
I...
Are you sure?
You're gonna kill your back in that chair.
No, I'm a f...
My back's strong enough.
Well, if you change your mind, let me know.
Good night.
Are you ready?
Ay! I've been ready.
Now, keep in mind, I'm gonna have on
different cufflinks on the day.
Ay, will you just come out already?
Well?
Mi amor!
Estás guapísimo!
- Not bad, right? - No.
Do I need any alterations before the wedding?
No, no, no, no, no. Estás perfecto.
- Yeah? - Yes.
'Cause I don't wanna outshine the boys on their special day.
Oh, well, I think you'll be just fine.
- My delivery. - Oh.
- Hola, Carlitos. - Hey, Mom.
What's going on?
Tell Dad I spoke to TK
and he can wear the cowboy hat with the tux if he...
Gabriel! Gabriel!
Gabriel!
Ay, mi amor.
Mom? Mom? Mom!
O God, whose end is justice,
whose strength is all our stay,
be near and bless my mission...
as I go forth today.
Let wisdom guide my actions...
let courage fill my heart.
And help me, O Lord, in every hour...
to do a Ranger's part.
Protect when danger threatens...
sustain when trails get tough.
Help me hold my standard high
and smile at each rebuff.
And when night comes down upon me,
I pray the Lord be nigh.
Whenever on a lonely scout...
or camped under the Texas sky.
Keep me, O God, in line...
and when my day shall end...
forgive my sins and take me in.
For your sake. Amen.
Ready.
Aim. Fire.
Ready.
Aim.
Fire.
On behalf of the state of Texas,
the governor,
and all the Texas Rangers,
I present this flag to you in honor of your husband.
Man, this is not the type of gathering
I was expecting to meet Carlos' family at.
No.
Owen.
It was a beautiful service, no?
It certainly was.
Yeah.
I wanna introduce you to Tommy Vega.
This is TK's captain. Miss Andrea Reyes.
Captain Vega. I've heard so much about you.
The boys adore you.
Bueno.
Te ofrezco mi profundo pésame.
Es evidente Que su esposo era un hombre muy querido.
Sí. Gracias.
- Mm-hmm. - Es verdad.
And thank you for coming.
Of course.
And, Owen, thank you for hosting.
I'm happy to do it.
Our house...
I just couldn't get it ready.
I kept trying to scrub the blood off the entryway.
It had soaked into the wood floors.
They'll need to be replaced.
Me permites?
He's gonna be watching over you and your family.
God bless you. And thank you.
Remember, he'd pull us out of school
and tell the office it was an urgent family matter?
Yes. Sometimes he'd even flash his badge
and then take us out for ice cream or to the movies.
Or the puppet shows when we were sick.
Puppet shows?
Not a puppet show exactly.
He'd use our stuffed animals.
You never told me that.
Because I have no memory of it.
You were so little, Carlitos, but he was always so sweet with you.
Oh.
Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt you all,
but, uh, Carlos, can I get a word with you?
Of course.
I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am about your daddy
and... tell you how grateful I am
to have been able to work beside him all these years.
Thank you, sir.
And thank you for your powerful words at the funeral today.
Hey, I, uh...
I want to give you something
I believe belongs to you.
His Ranger star.
I appreciate you letting me have this.
I do hope you know how proud he was of you.
- I think so. - Don't ever doubt it.
Not even for one minute.
I need to ask you.
Have the Rangers...
made any progress in figuring out who did this?
Carlos, you know I can't discuss an ongoing investigation.
I don't need any names, just...
Is there one?
Carlos, your daddy spent a lifetime
tangling with some of the worst bad guys
the state of Texas has to offer.
He was fearless.
Along the way, he made some enemies.
But I can promise you this.
I will not enjoy a night's rest till we find
that son of a bitch that did this to your daddy
and to our brother.
So what you're really telling me is you have no idea
who murdered my father?
Carlos, look, I wish I had better news for you.
I-I really do.
But right now, you need to look after yourself,
and you need to look after your mama.
And again, my condolences.
