If I do private practice, I'm gonna need new clientele.
Hey, are you gonna get that new place

You split the rent. Then you guys
wouldn't have to be so alone.LIAM:Well,
I think that we are comfortable in our alone-ness.
What about you, Cordell? A-Are you comfortable?
Oh, I'm not alone. I-I live in a crowded house
with teenagers. I'm never alone.
Alone is different than being lonely, Cordi.
I'm just saying, we're not the ones texting
every second of our downtime.
TREY: Right. Or driving across town
just 'cause you don't like eating by yourself.All right.
Fair. Yes, sure,
working alone h-has been different.
You know? No one

N-No one to share with.
It's-it's quiet.
Lonely?Lonely? Ah. Jinx.
All right. Well, since Ihave to go to work,

Uh, sorry to ruin your date, but it's on the house.
See you later.
That man really needs to get...
a partner.I know.
[sighs]
[truck door closes, engine starts]
So, you nervous about your brother?
Or is there something else going on?
Man, you're sharp.
I was looking at, uh, land surveys
on our property.Is this about the Davidsons?
Listen, between three generations
of Walkers, you... you tend to overhear a lot.
Yeah. Well, the records that I need are
at the county assessor's office.And let me guess. You don't want
to bump into any former coworkers at the courts.
You're getting sharper by the minute. Well,
I'm free today, so what do you need?
You know, maybe my brother's not the only one
who needs a partner.
[grunts softly]
You waiting for an invite?
Huh?
No, I just, uh-- something in my shoe.
I'm guessing you want to know
how the new Ranger search is going.
Yeah, sure.
It's gonna take some time, man.
Trooper Jackson's a solid candidate. Fleming.
Uh, Officer Carver. Monroe.
It's about a dozen good ones. I just got to be careful.
Uh, careful that they share your same approach
to law enforcement. I get that.
Well, and someone who's... you know.
Someone who's a good match for you.
Yeah, of course.
In the meantime...
Right.While I'm looking for a real Ranger,
I need you to find a fake one.
Sorry?Got multiple reports from APD
in the last 24 hours
about somebody posing as Texas Ranger Miles Vyas.
Miles Vyas?
The Ranger in Dallas reported missing
about six months ago, presumed dead?
So, there's no ID from the footage,
but this is definitely his MO.
He flashes a badge, claims civil forfeiture
and then jacks people's cars
in the name of some made-up investigation.
Oh, it looks like a-a Bentley.
All right.
Well, we got to find him
before he does something worse.
Yougot to find him.
You're flying solo on this one.
Okay. All right. Well, I'll-I'll shake down the local chop shops.
Might, uh, might get a lead
on a buyer in the market for high-end stolen cars.
There you go. Maybe you don't need a partner after all.
Well, I...
I'm joking.
Hmm.
I'm looking.Well,
if anyone can find me
the right new partner, it's my old partner.
I got you, buddy.
I know you do. [clears throat]
Bye.Yep.
All right. What are the plans later?

Need you to write more songs first.
But, no, my uncle,
he's a silent investor.
He can get us in.

This is the best market in town, isn't it?Oh, yeah.
Um, I was hoping the spice selection would be
a little more varied. I need it for the Barn Burner.
At The Side Step?Yeah.
Colton stopped by. He said the chili was lacking.
Got to, you know, maintain the family recipe.
[chuckles] Right.Yeah.
You know, uh, Colton has been by the house,
and he and August

He's such a sweet kid.Aw.
Thank you. Thank you.And talented. You know, I taught them

Uh, this is, uh, Ranger Perez.
Ranger Perez.Currently on a leave of absence
from the Dallas Rangers Division.
I'm calling for Captain James, please.
JAMES: You got him.
I am calling in regards to a Ranger
under your command, a Cordell Walker.
Yes. May I ask what case he is currently assigned?
JAMES: He's working a 37.11. Why?
And is he the type who would
blindly pull a car's e-brake
from inside the trunk, knowing
it would send it into an uncontrolled skid?
JAMES: Yep. That sounds like Ranger Walker.
You don't say. I appreciate your time, sir.

I'm sorry.
Oh. Don't apologize.
No, I just... I'm sorry for what you've been through.
I know a thing or two
about loss.
I heard about your husband.
Yeah, well, I lost a hell of a lot more than just Marv.

than I have in 20.
Well, you're more than welcome to join us if you ever want.
Maybe another time.
Thank you.Thank you.
Oh.

I took a hard look at my past.
That's how I found peace.
That's good advice.
WALKER: You know,
you could've saved us both some trouble
if you led with, "Hi there. I'm Ranger Perez.
And you are?"Well, technically, I'm on a leave of absence.
A leave of absence, yeah? Well, you're using
your time off really well. Tasing a Ranger
and shoving him into a trunk?Oh!
Please, I nudged you.
You... [groans]And I tased you because
you're dressed like our perp.I'm not dressed
like our perp. Our perp is dressed like me.
And he's not "our" perp.[siren wailing]
He's myperp. Mine. You don't wear a badge.
You were dressed like a Ranger lurking by a car
that was stolen by someone impersonating a Ranger.
Anyone would have come to the same conclusion I did.It ever
occur to you that your little stunt back there
probably scared away our suspect?
You said "our suspect."
I said...[car door opens]
You are unbelievable.
On the ground now. Hands where I can see them.
Thank you, Officer. I-I got this.
I'm talking to you, too, buddy. I've located the stolen vehicle
and the 37.11.No, no, no, no. I-I'm not the imposter.
I'm a Texas Ranger.
Cordell Walker.
This guy thinks he's the Ranger who's always in the news.
CASSIE: Told you anyone would have come
to the same conclusion.
Yep. Sure. Uh, let's just, uh...
Let's get this over with.
I have serious doubts her Taser is even legal.
I think she jailbroke it to add extra juice
to take out a guy like me.
[James laughs]
I'm s... She apologized
for the tasing several times.
Mm-hmm.Okay, what about...
what about the-the hitting the potholes thing?
She didn't apologize for that.Okay, I don't control potholes.
JAMES: Okay, enough. Okay, listen, mistakes were made.
She said sorry.
Frankly, anybody in her shoes
would've reached the same conclusion.
Okay. Cassandra Perez.
You were the youngest cadet
at DPS academy, graduated top of your class.
First female Ranger in Dallas
under Captain Cole.CASSIE:Yeah.
He only hired me after you changed the landscape
after you hired Ranger Ramirez.
JAMES: Hmm.
But Cole never really had my back.
So, is that why you took
an indefinite leave of absence after only
four months on the job?
How is any of this relevant?
Walker...
I, uh, I took a leave
after my partner was abducted in the line of duty
and my captain designated Miles "presumed dead."
Okay, I can understand needing some time off
after losing a partner, but you've been on leave
for almost six months now.
Why not return to the force?
Because Miles is still alive.
I don't have the evidence-- I know that-- but...
too much just doesn't add up.
There's more to the story.
Is there any chance you'd want to help us out on this case?
What? Cap-Captain, she's not even a Ranger...
I-I don't need help. I don't need herhelp.
JAMES: Walker, she's got insight that we don't.
She's motivated; this guy is impersonating her partner
and he's still out there.
So I'm asking you to catch him together, all right?
Captain, I understand why he needs my help.
That much is clear.Oh, is it clear?
Is it?
Because you, you've been lone-wolfing it
for, what, six months,
and the closest you've come to finding Ranger Vyas
is today's screwup?
You're right. But this case is personal.
So even if it's only temporary, I can't work with someone
who doesn't bring something to the table themselves.
WALKER: I'm a Texas Ranger.
That's what I bring to the table.
[chuckles]: Okay, tough guy, but what else?
What makes you a good partner on this?
I don't need to explain myself to you.
I don't work with people I can't trust.
It was a pleasure meeting you, Captain.

Dude, I can't believe Todd left us high and dry.
No, we're never getting in.

thank-thanks for the heads-up?Yeah.
Yeah, you know, I'd hate for you to be

Yeah, by the way, what is that?
The warehouse where DPS keeps all their asset forfeitures.
Yes, I-I know that, but, uh, "Paititi."

Unarmed, mind you.
Uh, she had a Taser. Please.
She tased me. She...
Okay, all right, all right.
All right, here you go.
Even if I-I agreed to the partnership--
which is a big "if"--
she didn't show any indication whatsoever
that she wanted to partner with me.
What about all those questions she was asking you?
You don't think she was trying to get an idea
of what it might be like to work with you?
Look, if you think there's a chance--
because I do-- you got to meet her halfway.
You can't just wait for her to come knocking on your door,
asking to work with you.

Hey, you have another son.
Didn't I hear that?Cordell.
Huh. Yes.
He's a Texas Ranger.
CASSIE: A Ranger?
He never considered ranching?
Well, not for very long. He took a leave from the Rangers
once to focus on family, this place, but...
What did his partner think when he left?
His partner?
Well, um, she was pretty much family
at that point.
She understood.
She had Cordell's back, he had hers.
And I think it's what gave her the strength
to put down the badge herself.
But she will always have a place at our table.
Are there any other questions?
Uh, I'm sorry. Am I being too nosy?
For a ranch hand? Well, I'd say so.
But you are no ranch hand.
You don't know the difference between a muck fork
and a pitchfork,
and the only thing you seem really interested in is Cordell,
who's itching for a new partner.

for her partner's disappearance.
I mean, isn't that the same thing that you did to Stan

hold him at gunpoint in the passenger seat.

But why would the perp put a tracker

engine running, keys inside.
Yeah, it's almost like he wanted us to find it and repossess it.

Just to put the beacon inside.

it may have helped our cause a little bit
if you could carry a sidearm again.
I-I don't carry.
Wh-What do you mean, you don't, you don't carry?
Six months ago, with Miles,
on our last case, we got separated.
I was...
jumped.
And they took my weapon.
Later that night, they found
two bullet casings where Miles was last seen.
No blood trail,
but the thought that he might have died at the hand of...
Yeah.Yeah, it haunts me.
I imagine.
Hence, uh, the Taser.
[chuckles]
I'm not crazy.I know.
No... y-you are
crazy enough
[chuckles]: to hold your own.[laughs]
Hey.
I know what that's like.
Chasing ghosts.
I also know
that it's best to not do that alone.
[exhales]
[knocks on door]
Hey. Hey.
Thanks for coming down.
You can come on in.
Look, I know you weren't officially part of the arrest,
but, um, it's safe to say you helped out,
a lot more than you know.
So, who was this guy?
[sighs] His name's Matt Daniels.
He's just a, a drifter passing through Dallas
right around the same time Miles disappeared.
But his confession measures up.
There's no ties to the grand theft auto crew. I'm sorry.
Yeah. It is what it is.
[laughs] So why do you look like a dude
who's about to tell me something else?
[chuckles]
Well...
Well, lookee there. That for me?
[chuckles]It's up to you.
We both know you're not gonna stop looking for Miles.
I can't.
I know. So, let us help you.
[exhales]
If you choose to wear the badge again,
you'll be under my command.
I know that we basically just met,
but your intuition, the way you color outside the lines...
I didn't know what I was looking for
in a new Ranger until I saw it in you.
You remind me... [laughs]
You remind me of my old partner.
That a compliment?
Listen, he's the best Ranger that I got.
And I see that potential in you.
I do. If you have the right partner.
I can't make any promises,
other than I will have your back, and so will he,
all the way.
So, how long did you know we were right for...?The Taser.
It was the Taser.
[footsteps approaching]
WALKER: Hey. Cassie.
How'd it go in there?
[chuckles]
You know, I think
mine's shinier than yours.
Worn and weathered means experience. Ah.
That what we are? Like Yoda and Luke?
Uh, I was thinking more, you know, Crockett and Tubbs.
Or, uh, Hawks Shadow?
The-- Hawks Shadow? Wh-What's Hawks Shadow?
TV show? Early '90s?
A martial arts master and some guy dressed in a hawk costume?
Yeah, come on. Hawks Shadow.
Caw!Oh-- Don't-don't... do that. Hawk--
That-that show never existed.
Oh, yeah, I can't believe we're partners.
We'll figure out our partner name as we go.
Along with everything else.
Mm. Sounds good.Sounds good.
All right.
See you tomorrow, partner.[chuckles]
Hey, uh, last time I saw Miles,
we got into an argument over something stupid.
Yeah, you talk to people all the time,
but you really never know when it'll be the last time.
Y-You never know if you're gonna get the chance to tell them
what they really mean to you.
So, did you want to tell me something?
No, you and Geri, dummy.
I saw you together last night.
Don't act like you weren't about to send her
some adorable little text just now.
Okay. I-It's... [clears throat]
MAN: Afternoon, Rangers.
MAN 2: Afternoon.
It's complicated.
And waiting will do what exactly?
It's always complicated.
It shouldn't make sense.
But if there's something there...
deep end. Jump.
Deep end.
Cass, I don't know what you wanted to tell Miles,
that night, but...
you can tell me anything.
Anytime, always.
Yeah, brutal honesty, no secrets.
No secrets.Deal.
Deal.
You know, we'll call that rule number 43.
Hmm.
Wait, what are the other 42?
[both chuckle]
[truck door closes, engine starts]
[knocking on door]
Gale.
I-Is everything all right?
No.
Do you want to come in?
Abby, it takes a lot for me to come here.
Well, it takes a lot for me to invite you in, but here we are.
I've been thinking a lot about the past.
About Marv.
It's a topic we have avoided for way too long.
If this is about the other day...
Look, there's still a lot I don't know
about that night.
But the one thing I do know is, Marv came to see you.
What'd you talk about?
Let's talk.
TREY: All right.
I'm all about boots on the ground,
but what are we looking for here, Liam?
The border.
The real border between our land and the Davidsons'.
The boundary is in question, to say the least.
My dad's original map shows that the property line...
...ends way out there.
But the county map
shows that the property line ends right where we're standing.
Wait, so...
this line, right through the Walker ranch?
Right here.
So, which one's the right one?
I don't know yet. I mean, that's what's in question.
But someone could look at this and come to the conclusion...
...we might be living on their land.
[sighs]
[engine shuts off]
[knocking]
Cordi.
Hey.
Hi. Hi.
Uh...
Hmm.
Okay? Uh, there-there's something here with-with you.
Or-- and me, too.
Or us. This.
Wh-Whatever this is.
You know, and-and--
I've been thinking, you know,
I've been thinking about, like...
all we've been through, and, um, I...Hey.
♪ If I lose my sight
♪ And I fall for you...
[sighs]
I-I kept...
thinking about... you.
And how you stuck around.
Uh, and...Yeah.
...um, how that... how that made me feel.
Um...
Well...
How, how, how do you feel?
I feel, um...
♪ And I'll fall for you...
I feel tired.
Tired of-of-of waiting.
Um, I'm wondering...
♪ When the waters rise
♪ And I'll run to you
♪ If the bombs ignite
♪ I'll still call to you if I do go blind... ♪
[whispers]: Let's go inside. What?
Let's go.
♪ And I'll be all for you if you lose the fight. ♪
