[121][136]Time to go.
[184][200]Coming through.
[483][507]It is the finding of this court\
[509][541]that in the matter|of The People v. Victor LaRue,
[543][602]judicial error denied the defendant's|constitutional right to a fair trial.
[604][631]The conviction is hereby overt\urned.
[633][676]Mr. LaRue shall be released on bond,|pending a new trial.
[1059][1080]Oh, Walker,|I can't believe we're here already.
[1082][1102]Why not? You made me|pick you up two hours early.
[1104][1114]I did no such thing.
[1116][1148]Well, at least an hour early.|Take it easy.
[1149][1174]How can I?|It's not every day I give a speech.
[1176][1192]It's not like being in court\.
[1194][1235]- Will you relax? Take a deep breath.|- All right.
[1237][1256]Did you remember my camera?
[1258][1278]Yes, I remembered|your dadgum camera.
[1280][1303]- Now, sit down.|- Okay.
[1389][1413]Oh, Walker,|I'm so happy you came with me.
[1415][1439]I'm a nervous wreck.
[1441][1463]What if I forget my speech?
[1465][1485]Alex, you're going to do fine.
[1495][1516]I hope I'm not interrupting.
[1521][1531]LaRue.
[1533][1552]Oh, how sweet, you remembered.
[1560][1577]Keep your hands|where I can see them.
[1579][1610]You're very quick. He scared me.
[1611][1640]You scared me, but there's no need|for melodrama, Walker.
[1647][1660]Haven't you heard?
[1662][1677]I'm a free man.
[1678][1708]I was just getting|my release documentation.
[1748][1773]Nobody in their right mind|would unleash you on society.
[1775][1794]Au contraire, counselor.
[1799][1809]They're real, Alex.
[1828][1870]This is also an opport\unity|to put the past behind us, Alexandra.
[1879][1897]How fitting that I could be here today
[1899][1929]to share in your happiness.
[1992][2034]- This isn't happening.|- Let's find out why.
[2122][2138]- Yeah, Trivette.|- Trivette,
[2139][2160]Victor LaRue just got released|from prison.
[2162][2179]That lunatic? Not a chance.
[2181][2209]Well, they did.|Check and find out why.
[2293][2303]I don't believe it.
[2313][2330]New trial pending. What's going on?
[2332][2354]That's what I'm gonna find out.
[2409][2432]- Here you are, ma'am.|- Thank you.
[2518][2537]Does anyone|know what's happening?
[3009][3020]Then you want me to testify?
[3021][3035]How could this have happened,|Walker?
[3037][3053]LaRue was supposed to be|in prison for life.
[3069][3089]The conviction was overt\urned|on a technicality.
[3091][3121]Trivette said it had something to do|with the impart\iality of the judge.
[3123][3150]Why wasn't I notified?|The man nearly killed me.
[3151][3174]The system screwed up, Alex.|So, what else is new?
[3176][3187]You got that right.
[3189][3212]Victor LaRue is the most detestable|excuse for a human being
[3214][3224]I've ever known.
[3226][3252]After what he did,|what he tried to do.
[3254][3270]Are you up for this?
[3272][3289]You're not talking me|out of confronting him.
[3290][3315]- I've earned the right.|- Just tell me you're okay.
[3316][3336]- You wanna know the truth?|- Yeah.
[3340][3355]No, I'm not.
[3422][3470]Counselor, Ranger Walker,|how lovely to see you both again.
[3472][3502]Would you care for tea, croissant?
[3509][3529]Why don't you tell me|about the luncheon?
[3531][3571]Well, I thought the entre|was a bit disappointing.
[3573][3587]And I suppose you did too.
[3588][3609]You could have|saved yourself the trouble.
[3611][3629]The dead rat was unnecessary.
[3630][3653]Just seeing you was enough|to turn my stomach.
[3655][3670]You aren't suggesting|I had anything to do
[3672][3687]with putting that thing on your plate?
[3689][3712]I'm not suggesting,|I'm flat out saying it.
[3725][3745]But I was as disgusted|as you must have been.
[3750][3769]Maybe more so.
[3774][3808]You see, I've developed|an aversion to rodents.
[3815][3841]We had so many of them|in the cellblock.
[3842][3872]I often sat up at night|unable to sleep,
[3874][3898]listening to them|moving inside the walls.
[3904][3927]Sounds like a place|made to order for you.
[3929][3955]Careful. You can't talk to me that way.|I'm a free man.
[3957][3971]- Not for long.|- Really?
[3973][3985]Count on it.
[3986][4005]I have been proved guilty of nothing.
[4028][4048]I'm gonna change that.
[4050][4078]And you're going back to the rodents,|where you belong.
[4083][4120]You're so big and strong,|you scare me.
[4127][4145]You don't know what scared is yet.
[4246][4270]Judge Berlinger, isn't he the one|that sentenced LaRue?
[4272][4305]Yeah, he is. Wonder what he wants.
[4362][4400]Morning, judge.|Your office said you wanted to see us.
[4401][4417]It's the least I could do,
[4418][4454]since I'm the reason|Victor LaRue's back on the street.
[4468][4507]Walker, the warden at Copper Lake|tells me that LaRue seems obsessed
[4509][4531]with getting revenge|on you and Ms. Cahill.
[4533][4558]Isn't that reason enough|to put him back in jail, judge?
[4559][4573]Don't I wish.
[4575][4601]Unfort\unately,|all we have to go on is hearsay.
[4603][4629]We can't do anything about LaRue|until he commits a crime.
[4634][4659]What happened|with LaRue's conviction?
[4660][4698]It was a damned fluke.|My wife handles our finances.
[4700][4720]She moves accounts around,
[4722][4746]invests for our retirement,|the usual things.
[4747][4774]I quit paying attention years ago.
[4776][4798]You had no idea|she held shares in Trask Oil
[4800][4816]when the case came before you?
[4818][4831]No, I didn't.
[4833][4853]And with Trask a hostage,
[4855][4876]and his company|being extort\ed for ransom,
[4878][4918]that stock port\folio|constituted reversible error.
[4920][4945]That's a hell of a legal stretch, judge.
[4947][4979]On the contrary,|the way our court\s work these days,
[4980][5002]we're lucky LaRue's case|gets sent back for trial,
[5003][5032]and didn't get thrown out altogether.
[5034][5056]Yeah, real lucky.
[5071][5093]Okay, thanks for your time, judge.
[5117][5132]Walker.
[5138][5160]I remember|how LaRue's hostages suffered.
[5168][5196]I'd give anything to go back in time|and keep this from happening.
[5209][5221]I remember too, judge.
[5268][5286]Gotta be some loophole, Walker.
[5288][5320]The only loophole|is the one that let LaRue out.
[5321][5357]No argument here.|What's our next move?
[5359][5380]I want 24-hour protection for Alex.
[5382][5397]And let's get a stakeout on LaRue.
[5399][5421]I wanna know his every move.
[5987][6025]Hey, Sleeping Beauty, wake up.|Our boy's on the move.
[6033][6070]- What the hell's he doing?|- I don't know.
[6113][6133]Good morning, officers.
[6134][6161]I can't imagine how miserable|undercover surveillance must be.
[6162][6175]Sitting out here all night.
[6177][6195]I thought|you might enjoy some donuts.
[6218][6238]It also occurred to me|that I could make things easier
[6240][6270]if I just gave you|my itinerary for the day.
[6271][6296]Now, I'll be apart\ment hunting|this morning,
[6297][6317]then I'm hoping|to spend time sightseeing.
[6372][6407]Don't fall behind, now. We don't want|Ranger Walker getting angry with us.
[6551][6575]Ms. Nemcek, where do you live?
[6577][6624]2534 Silver Creek Drive,|in Franklin Park.
[6626][6642]And what do you do for a living?
[6644][6683]I teach typing|at Anderson Business College.
[6684][6710]Are you acquainted with the defendant,|Mark Steven Lindstrom?
[6712][6728]I am.
[6800][6816]Don't touch me.
[6838][6854]- Don't touch me.|- Relax.
[6856][6878]Don't touch me.
[6893][6922]You're mine. I found you.
[6928][6957]No! No!
[6959][6977]Down.
[6981][7000]Ms. Cahill.
[7001][7018]We're waiting.
[7022][7037]Your Honor, may I have a moment?
[7042][7052]Please make it brief.
[7054][7070]Yes.
[7116][7131]What are you doing here, LaRue?
[7132][7160]I'm just taking a walk|down memory lane.
[7162][7180]If you recall,|this is the very court\room
[7182][7218]where I was wrongfully convicted|those many months ago.
[7223][7252]Well, walk somewhere else,|because I don't want you here.
[7261][7271]Pardon me?
[7273][7300]You heard me. Get out,|before I have the bailiff throw you out.
[7302][7312]Excuse me,
[7314][7345]but I have every right as a free citizen,|to be here, in open court\,
[7347][7357]and you know it.
[7364][7384]Ms. Cahill?
[7395][7414]Someone's in the doghouse.
[7485][7514]Ms. Nemcek,|let's return to the scene of the crime.
[7540][7575]Yeah, okay, we're waiting on it.|Call me right back, all right?
[7592][7621]LaRue's been watching Alex|in court\ all day. It's driving her nuts.
[7622][7641]Her worst nightmare's coming true.
[7669][7694]That's why|we're gonna do something about it.
[7749][7773]Walker,|do you think this is a good idea?
[7775][7817]No, it's not a good idea,|but we're gonna do it anyway.
[7826][7839]We got no warrant.
[7840][7870]I know, but sooner or later|LaRue's gonna stop talking
[7872][7887]and start\ killing.
[7889][7919]Miss, do you have a key|for room 18?
[7926][7941]Thanks.
[8242][8264]We got one sick puppy, man.
[8266][8298]- That's why I'm worried about Alex.|- Look at this.
[8300][8362]Charles Manson,|Jack the Ripper, Marquis de Sade.
[8448][8468]Trivette, come here.
[8494][8514]We gotta stop this guy.
[8566][8612]Well, isn't this interesting.
[8629][8643]I'm assuming|you gentlemen can show me
[8645][8666]a duly authorized search warrant.
[8703][8724]We left it at the office.
[8726][8762]Do you mean to tell me|that this is an illegal search?
[8763][8794]A violation|of my constitutional right to privacy?
[8796][8820]What is this country coming to?
[8839][8866]If you bother Alex Cahill|one more time,
[8868][8891]you're gonna wish|you were back in prison.
[8920][8961]You're a little testy today, aren't you?|Please, please hit me.
[8962][8975]Come on.
[8991][9006]Harassment is one thing.
[9008][9025]You might be able|to worm your way out of that,
[9027][9061]but police brutality, no.
[9062][9082]That could cost your badge.
[9098][9108]Let's go, Trivette.
[9141][9166]What, I don't get a kiss?
[9848][9865]Okay.
[9871][9902]Let's make it look good.|I want everything I paid for.
[10061][10074]City hall takes it very seriously
[10076][10120]when citizens accuse law-enforcement|officials of mistreatment.
[10121][10160]LaRue's no citizen, he's a criminal.
[10162][10197]- His conviction was overt\urned.|- On a technicality.
[10199][10240]That's for a judge and jury to work out,|Walker, not you.
[10250][10265]Maybe.
[10296][10324]The media's wondering|if your history with LaRue
[10326][10367]made you think you had the right|to beat him senseless last night.
[10369][10385]I didn't beat LaRue.
[10386][10408]- He says you did.|- Well, he's lying.
[10410][10426]But how do we prove it?
[10427][10442]Easy.
[10464][10502]If I'd beaten him, he wouldn't|be around to file a complaint.
[10527][10543]Your illegal search of his motel room
[10545][10577]sure doesn't do much|to reinforce your position.
[10583][10597]What in the world|were you thinking?
[10598][10631]I was thinking about the time|he tried to rape Alex Cahill.
[10633][10655]And now he's stalking her.
[10656][10691]And I'm gonna stop him,|one way or another.
[10784][10807]I saw the photos of LaRue's injuries.
[10809][10822]Somebody really worked him over.
[10823][10851]Yeah, he's convincing,|all right, isn't he?
[10853][10890]The detectives said he slipped|out the back of a restaurant at 8 p.m.
[10892][10907]They didn't see him again till 10.
[10909][10931]Giving him plenty of time|to get in a fight with someone.
[10933][10949]We're gonna have to get|some more men on him.
[10951][10966]What difference|would it make, C. D?
[10967][10982]LaRue would just evade them too.
[10987][11001]Hey, come on, Alex.
[11003][11041]Walker and I are marionettes,|and Victor LaRue is pulling the strings.
[11071][11095]You know, maybe you ought|to think about taking some time off.
[11096][11125]Do you know|what my caseload looks like?
[11133][11157]Take the afternoon off, honey.
[11311][11326]Hello?
[11328][11367]What are you doing, counselor?|Playing hooky?
[11368][11383]How did you get this number?
[11385][11403]I'm a persistent man.
[11405][11432]You ought to know that by now.|I always get what I want, eventually.
[11475][11510]What I don't understand is,|what do you want with me?
[11512][11524]You know the answer.
[11526][11542]I wanna be your friend.
[11544][11571]Friends don't harass each other.
[11588][11627]Is that what you think this is,|harassment?
[11629][11655]I'm just trying to make up|for any bad feelings
[11657][11687]I may have inadvert\ently caused|between us.
[11689][11720]Oh, so it was a misunderstanding|when you tried to rape me?
[11721][11734]Rape?
[11738][11785]That is a terrible,|terrible thing to say.
[11787][11803]Do you have a problem|with men in general,
[11804][11816]or is it just me that you hate?
[11821][11846]I have a problem|with kidnapping and assault, LaRue.
[11848][11866]You know, if I didn't know better,
[11868][11890]I'd swear you were|part of Walker's plot to get me.
[11892][11913]I'm not part\ of any plot.
[11915][11936]Then why are you rejecting me?
[11938][11955]All I want is a chance to show you
[11957][11985]that I'm not the monster|that you think I am.
[11986][12019]Sorry, they don't make a drug|strong enough to accomplish that.
[12021][12039]How dare you talk to me that way.
[12040][12061]I'm a free man, don't you get it?
[12063][12106]I won, and you and Walker lost,|so nana nana poo-poo.
[12118][12138]It's not over yet, LaRue.
[12140][12179]Really? What makes you say that?
[12180][12201]Because I've taped|this phone conversation,
[12203][12226]and I'm gonna use it|against you in court\.
[12259][12291]Well, I cert\ainly hope|that you do, counselor,
[12293][12313]because then the world will see|once and for all
[12314][12367]how my heart\felt gesture of friendship|was turned ugly by you.
[12520][12543]Alex, I want you to go|into the nearest district court\,
[12545][12567]and get a restraining order|against this fella.
[12569][12584]It's not as easy as it sounds, C.D.
[12586][12618]I don't care, hard or easy,|difficult or whatever.
[12620][12653]It's a step in the direction|to send him back to Uncle Bud.
[12655][12671]A baby step at best.
[12673][12692]He called you at your house.
[12694][12722]It's not against the law|to call somebody at their house.
[12724][12750]I seriously doubt|a judge would grant my request.
[12751][12778]Even if he did,|it wouldn't stop LaRue, would it?
[12780][12790]Exactly.
[12791][12818]Look, Jimmy, let's move on this.|Let's do something.
[12858][12872]Let's run through the files and see
[12874][12895]if we can find something|to stick LaRue with.
[12916][12961]- Hey, humor me, okay?|- Do it.
[13200][13225]Counselor. Hi.
[13247][13262]Guess who's moving in next week.
[13268][13277]What?
[13298][13331]I used you as a character reference.|I hope you don't mind.
[13566][13589]"Dear Alexandra,
[13591][13626]so sorry to hear|of your impending death."
[13835][13872]You gave me this horse|for Christmas two years ago.
[13896][13915]I'll get you another one.
[13942][13970]That's a painting|my father painted for me,
[13972][13994]and now he's gone.
[14002][14015]It's no use, Walker.
[14016][14039]Victor LaRue is everywhere,|even in my own home.
[14041][14062]I can't escape him.
[14078][14091]I'm getting you out of here.
[14098][14119]You're going to my ranch.
[14221][14248]Hi, this is Alex.|I'm not available right now,
[14250][14277]so leave me a message|and I'll call you back.
[14305][14330]Alexandra,
[14343][14372]where in the world|have you run off to?
[14403][14427]I'll just have to find you, won't I?
[14734][14748]Hey.
[14781][14794]We better check that out.
[14884][14904]LaRue, you all right?
[14918][14932]Let's go.
[15743][15791]You'd never leave without telling folks|how to reach you, would you?
[15903][15928]This is... It's just too easy.
[16031][16061]Amigo. Amigo, get it.
[16102][16141]- Good boy. Yeah, good boy.|- Walker!
[16184][16210]Walker, both detectives are dead,|and LaRue has vanished.
[16216][16235]Walker, I'm scared.
[16236][16254]You're not safe here anymore.|Go get packed.
[16256][16272]Okay.
[16784][16806]Alex, hurry up.
[17140][17151]Alex, you ready yet...
[17302][17313]What's that?
[17370][17392]Please, don't hurt\ him.
[17396][17415]Hurt\ him?
[17429][17449]I've got you tied up,
[17455][17478]and you're worried|about me hurt\ing him?
[17480][17499]Well, isn't this interesting, Walker?
[17503][17530]The lady has special feelings for you.
[17537][17555]- No!|- Shut up!
[17572][17603]I didn't hear you getting upset|when Walker was hurt\ing me last year.
[17608][17620]Do you remember helping me?
[17621][17635]I don't remember you helping me.
[17689][17701]Where were you then, counselor?
[17703][17725]Where was your,|"Please don't hurt\ him, Walker"?
[17727][17755]I didn't hear word one out of you.
[17826][17852]This isn't easy for you, is it?
[17859][17893]Watching, as the man you love|finally gets what he deserves.
[17915][17929]You do love him, don't you?
[17949][17976]I can tell by the hate|that you have for me in your eyes.
[18000][18032]I think|that's what I like most about you.
[18043][18108]It isn't your beautiful face,|or your sensational body.
[18114][18167]What really appeals to me|is that passion inside of you.
[18187][18198]I'll tell you a little secret.
[18217][18236]When I was in prison,|I used to think about it.
[18238][18281]I used to imagine what it would be like|to feel that passion for myself.
[18370][18394]You can do better than that, Alexandra,|and you will.
[18395][18414]I insist.
[18749][18773]Do you like opera? I do.
[18775][18787]Well, Italian opera.
[18799][18823]I believe the Italians best understand
[18825][18869]the art\istic power of life,|and death and love.
[18871][18901]I hope these bracelets|aren't too tight,
[18906][18930]and I hope they don't hurt\ you,
[18932][18989]but I have to make sure|that you won't get away while I'm gone.
[18994][19023]- You're gonna leave me here?|- Just for a little while.
[19027][19040]I have to kill Walker.
[19042][19056]No.
[19057][19112]No, no. Please, please.
[19113][19134]That's another thing|that I thought about in prison.
[19136][19160]The best way of killing Walker.|Would you like to hear about it?
[19175][19236]Well, first, I'm going to take him|deep into the badlands, and...
[19242][19281]Well, I can't tell you everything.|The rest is a secret,
[19283][19317]but he will die an unbelievably slow|and painful death.
[19327][19346]Then I'll be back.
[19416][19472]But the thought|of you lying here, waiting for me,
[19486][19507]it's almost enough|to keep me from killing Walker.
[19566][19608]That's a good one, isn't it?|Not killing Walker.
[19616][19642]Sometimes I crack myself up.
[19657][19670]Seriously,
[19671][19697]you do pose a distraction.
[19699][19759]But, like they say:|"Good things come to those who wait."
[19892][19937]Walker will be my meal, Alexandra,|and you will be dessert\.
[20679][20691]Welcome back, Walker.
[20697][20713]You came to just in time.
[20767][20784]How you doing?
[20805][20816]Not so hot, I take it.
[20824][20853]I'll take care of you. Trust me.
[20874][20895]Come on, Walker.
[20897][20919]Come on, Walker, wake up.
[20924][20960]Half the fun of winning is gloating|over your defeated opponent.
[20993][21017]No matter. As you can see,
[21019][21049]my plan is working extremely well.
[21075][21087]I have a little gift for you.
[21102][21118]Oh, yes.
[21151][21167]See this?
[21181][21193]Hey, there.
[21195][21221]These, my friend,
[21226][21258]are Centruroides excilicauda.
[21259][21289]The deadliest scorpion species|in this country.
[21311][21327]All for you.
[21459][21477]One day,|in the corner of the prison yard,
[21479][21506]I noticed something fascinating.
[21508][21557]A tiny field mouse was attacked|by a swarm of scorpions.
[21559][21580]The mouse never had a chance.
[21582][21615]It was steadily stung to death.
[21617][21639]And the scorpions must have known|it was a goner,
[21640][21654]but they just kept attacking
[21656][21713]over, and over, and over again.
[21714][21753]Why, you ask? Because they like it.
[21766][21800]You should have seen the way|that little mouse struggled. It was...
[21808][21821]It was valiant,
[21826][21848]but it was no use.
[21852][21887]And all the time I watched those|scorpions in action, I kept thinking
[21896][21921]how marvelous it would be
[21923][21951]to see you struggle|like that little mouse.
[21962][22007]Valiantly, but hopelessly.
[22138][22165]I'm sorry I have to leave now,|I really am,
[22166][22192]but I have to take care|of our ladylove.
[22196][22233]And you have no idea|how long I've waited for that.
[22258][22307]I'll come back in a few hours|to see them finish you off.
[22385][22410]Stupid beast. God, I hate animals.
[22832][22857]Amigo, come here.
[22908][22939]Amigo, come here, boy.
[22966][22980]Amigo.
[22995][23017]Come on. Come here, Amigo.
[23171][23181]Thattaboy.
[23320][23341]I'm sorry I took so long, darling.
[23342][23375]The late Cordell Walker|wasn't known for his wine selection.
[23388][23423]Oh, Alexandra,|what a vision you are.
[23432][23454]And to think you're all mine.
[23705][23720]Hear that?
[23740][23755]Listen.
[23763][23773]Hear it now?
[23807][23822]Pounding.
[23823][23852]Pounding, pounding.
[23867][23882]Why, it's your heart\.
[23895][23924]Racing with anticipation|at what will happen next.
[23935][23964]And what will that be, Alexandra?
[23972][24005]Will you give yourself to me, over|and over, with unrestrained passion?
[24024][24052]Or do I simply kill you now?
[24069][24096]- No, please, please.|- You can beg all you want.
[24106][24120]But someone|has to teach you a lesson.
[24144][24160]No.
[24165][24183]I strongly suggest|that you cooperate with me.
[24185][24207]The better you are,|the longer you'll live.
[24695][24715]Walker!
[25805][25824]Walker?
[25837][25858]Walker!
[25902][25912]Oh, Walker.
[25916][25937]Oh, Walker.
[25939][25952]- Are you okay?|- Yeah.
[25954][25984]- What about LaRue?|- He'll never bother you again.
[26049][26078]This is Walker, Texas Ranger.|I need a medevac.
[26103][26118]Out at my ranch, right away.
[26146][26157]Are you sure you're okay?
[26210][26225]Walker?
[26350][26371]- Hi.|- Hi.
[26379][26418]- You all right?|- Yeah, I'm fine. How about you?
[26419][26436]I'm fine.
[26437][26462]Doctor said one more hour|and you wouldn't have made it.
[26473][26498]It was a close one, all right.|For both of us.
[26504][26530]What are we gonna do|about people like LaRue?
[26537][26557]Well, until the justice system|becomes more concerned
[26559][26584]about the victims of crimes,
[26586][26617]all we can do it catch them|and prosecute them.
[26628][26650]Let's hope|they keep LaRue in prison this time.
[26656][26677]They will|if I have anything to say about it.
[26679][26716]There'll be no more legal technicalities|for Victor LaRue, ever.
[26747][26780]You sure don't look bad for a man|who's been stung by scorpions.
[26788][26804]You look pretty good yourself.
