- Previously on Walker...
- You had already gone to work

when I got in, and...

Now it just feels like
you're boy-listening.

Not quite what I pictured
when we discussed retirement.

Was bringing Ben on full-time for the

events planning more
what you had in mind?

LUNA: There's no denying it, Cass.

I-I love you.

Hey, Cordi,
something's going on with Stella.

She took off.

This obsession of yours,
this is dangerous.

Next time, it could be someone else
who pays for your actions.

Where the hell's Walker?

The Jackal is still out there,
and Walker's on his radar,

and Walker's missing.

I'm the one who's dead.

You could still wake up.

I've got the antidote right here,
just in case he's been injected.

Shallow grave. Dirt's fresh.

Think they just moved him.

- Cordi!
- Cordell!

Where's Luna?

[CRYING]

- Come on. Come on.

What happened?

CASSIE: David!

Luna?

We got to go. We got to go.

[SOBBING]: No! No!

No, David! David!

Please, you're a medic! Help him!

Cassie...

Please!

Somebody...

Come on, Cass. Sit.

- What?
- Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit.

- Okay.
- No.

Oh, no.

- No.
- Hold on, hold on. Walker.

Sit down.
It's all right. It's all right.

Sit. Sit down.

[WALKER GRUNTS]

JAMES: Okay, Cass.

Cassie. Stay with Walker.

EMT and backup will be here soon.
Okay, Trey?

The Jackal can't have gone far.

- Yeah, let's get him. Hey, Cass.
- Yeah?

It's the antidote,
just in case he worsens,

- all right?
- Uh-huh.

Keep him stable. All right?

Uh-huh.

Hey.

Don't let him get away.

Mm, with the understanding that

I'm not gonna be out there

- Right. The Jackal.

The serial k*ller
who tried to m*rder you.

So, how exactly is that taking it easy?

His real name is Cole Tillman.

And, so far, he's waived

his right to counsel, which
means he's willing to talk.

For now, but once he lawyers up,

we lose access.

Cordi, we need to talk.

[TRUCK DOOR OPENS]

You lied to me.

Last week.

You said you were
staying late at the office,

you might even be sleeping there.

But that wasn't true.
You got a motel room.

And that's not even the worst part.

The worst part, worse than lying,

is that you were struggling

Burden me? Cordi...

JAMES: So, as far as we know,

Cole Tillman, aka the Jackal,

is responsible for eight murders, but

there's a big gap
between knowing something

and being able to prove it
in a court of law.

I mean, the man was... I mean...

[DOOR CLOSES]

He was meticulous.

He never left a shred of DNA

or even a fingerprint
at any of his crime scenes,

which is why, at this point,
the only m*rder...

The only m*rder that
we're gonna be able to, uh,

prove that he committed
is Detective Luna's.

But, since his arrest,

some new information has come to light.

Turns out, this k*ller
who was so intent on punishing

"bad parents"
is actually a parent himself.

He has an adult daughter,
Rebecca Tillman.

- Does she know what he did?
- That's what we're hoping to find out.

CASSIE: What about the mom?

She still in the picture?

No, she died during childbirth.

So, Barnett, Perez?

I'm gonna have you two

talk to the daughter, if that's...

- Now, Walker?
- Sir?

You and I are gonna talk to Cole.

I think this guy takes
a certain pride in his work.

I think he might even want
to brag about it.

So, the more we can
get him talking, the better.

Okay? Let's just...

let's get this b*stard to confess.

Put him away for the rest
of his natural life.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR BEEPS, UNLOCKS]

[FOLDER DROPS]

[DOOR CLOSES, LOCKS]

We have a few questions
we'd like to ask you.

You have a veterinarian's
license, but no practice.

Is that how you secured the digoxin
to paralyze your victims?

Is being a...

doctor of veterinary medicine a crime?

When you m*rder a detective, yes.

We have you on David Luna's m*rder.

Luna was involved
in a physical altercation

before his death.

Autopsy found the assailant's
flesh under his fingernails.

WALKER: Lab's running the DNA right now.

When the results come back matching you,

you're looking at capital punishment.

You got no hand to play here.

Why don't you just come clean with us?

JAMES: You know what I think?
I think you want to come clean.

I think you're proud
of what you've done.

Yeah, is that what
the jackal teeth were about?

Calling cards to make sure
you got credit for the murders?

I am guilty.

Of hunting without a permit

in those woods where you found me.

[JAMES CLEARS THROAT]

You were hunting, okay.

So that would explain

why you opened fire on us,

and then kept sh**ting at us

until you shot me directly in the chest.

COLE: You were sh**ting at me.

I have a right to defend myself,
don't I?

I didn't know that you were cops.
It was an honest mistake.

[LAUGHS]

I'm not your guy.

Listen, you-you

are trying to force me into a box.

Some sort of preconceived

notion you have, but...

I won't fit in there.

So where do you fit in all this, Cole?

Now, I am

sincerely sorry
about the hunting mishap.

But I am no serial k*ller.

You have a daughter, right?

Rebecca.

Do you know that she's here right now

being interrogated
by two of my best Rangers?

I wish I could help, but...

I'm not really close with my dad.

Why are you so sure he's a...
a serial k*ller?

I just can't...

I can't even imagine what you're
going through learning all this.

But, Rebecca,

isn't there anything
you could tell us about your dad

that could help us connect the dots?

What even makes you so sure my
dad's responsible for... for...

Rebecca, we can't share
any evidence at this time.

But I need you to think hard.

Phone records show that
you called a line

associated with your father
on February 5th.

Do you remember what you discussed?

Do you know where he was?

February 5th?

Was-was that the day of
August's boot camp graduation?

[CLEARS THROAT]

Okay, so you saw
my son's social media posts.

Good for you. You're gonna have
to work a lot harder

- to get under my skin.
- COLE: That was

the day that little Augie celebrated

with the whole family.
Even Ranger Barnett was there.

Everyone came out to support August.

Except for you, Cordell.

Why did you miss
your son's big milestone?

Okay, there you go.

Yeah, getting closer to the mark.

COLE: And I'll tell you this,

if this so-called Jackal's
still out there,

I hope that he ticks off a few
more scumbag parents like yourself.

[CLATTERING]

JAMES: No, no. Whoa.

- We're taking a break.
- [CLEARS THROAT]

Hey, what are you doing, man?
You need to get a grip.

Hey, think he bought it?

What? Wait...

Wait, are you...

Letting him believe he's
getting under my skin?

I thought you realized
what I was doing. Cap?

- Rule 24: bait the suspect.
- Bait the suspect.

Yes, I-I wanted to keep him
talking. You hear what he said

about, uh, hoping the Jackal
kills more bad parents?

Okay, this is good.
This is how we're gonna get him.

We need to push him further,
though, trip him up on details

we never released to the press, right?

- Something only he would know.
- Yeah. Hey,

did you catch that thing he said
about us trying, to, uh,

like, force him into a box?

[STAMMERS] There's something about...

the way he said...

I don't think he's gonna fit in there.

What about it?

Um...

when I was paralyzed,
I had these dreams,

right, but-but I also had
these moments of, um...

not lucidity exactly, but...

I think I'm remembering...

Remembering what?

The Jackal. Cole, I think, maybe, um...

taking me out into the woods.

So, what? So, you're thinking...

not all dreams?

Um...

I don't know. I, uh...

Maybe I'm forcing connections.

Okay, Rebecca, stay close,

and we'll be in touch, all right?

REBECCA: Sure, sorry I couldn't help.

WALKER: We got to get this guy, Cap.

I mean, he's responsible
for so many deaths.

He's responsible for Luna's death.

Okay, please tell me
she gave you something

that connects her father to the murders?

No.

CASSIE: I heard what you said.

About Cole being responsible
for Luna's death.

But that is the one death
I don't blame on the Jackal.

I blame Luna's death on you.

JAMES: Cass...

I warned you that someone would get hurt

if you went rogue again,
and you ignored me.

And now...

And now...

♪ ♪

[QUIET CHATTER]

- Hey.
- Hey.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah, I-I'm fine.

So, are you guys getting
anything from Cole

or is he just running y'all
around in circles?

Circles. [CHUCKLES]

Lots and lots of circles.

But th-there's one thing he said

that's still gnawing at me.

[STAMMERS] Something about, uh,

w-we were trying
to force him into a box,

but he "wouldn't fit in there."

Doesn't sound like much
of a confession to me.

It wasn't, it just...

It reminded me of something
Hoyt said in my dream.

But the way Cole said it,
it sounded so familiar.

Like, I don't know,
like-like, uh, maybe Cole

had been talking to me
when I was unconscious.

But in your dream,

you thought Hoyt was the one
saying those words?

Well, yeah, um...

Yeah.

Does that sound crazy?

No, not at all.
Digoxin paralyzes your body,

but your cerebral cortex remains active.

Which means what, exactly?

Means you might be onto something.

You think there might be
some actual evidence

hidden away in my subconscious?

Yeah. I think it's possible.

Tell me more about this dream.

BONHAM: What're you up to?

ABELINE: I'm just doing
my good deed for the day.

This fig needs a little attention.

Well, can I help you?

Well, I wouldn't say no.

You know, I thought
you bought that plant

because of the way it fit
just so in that alcove

in the living room.

Well, I did, but it was wilting,

and I wasn't gonna let it
just die in there.

[SIGHS]

Hey.

It's okay.

I mean, we've been through the wringer

with Cordell and all that
Jackal business, so...

Oh, it's not that.
Well, I mean, it is that,

but it's not just that.
That was a cold reminder.

Life is short.

And all we seem to be
doing lately is bickering

and for what?

It's not worth it.

I have no idea why I was so obstinate

and wouldn't find any middle ground.

It wasn't all your fault.

I mean, I dug in like a tick
about you and Ben

starting that event planning
business together.

Even though I...

[SIGHS]

I actually think it's not a bad idea.

Especially seeing
how happy it makes you.

Well, thank you for saying that.

And I-I got to admit

that I-I-I do get
where you were coming from

with that damn boat.

I did love cruising
the Mediterranean with you.

[CHUCKLING]: Well, now, I know you did.

And see, Lake Travis
isn't such a bad substitute.

[CHUCKLES]

See this, what we're doing right here?

This, this is that DTR

that we should've been doing
from the very beginning.

God, I hate that expression.

[LAUGHS] Oh, my goodness.

You know, I-I know you do.

Well, hold on a second.

I remember Hoyt talking to me
and-and then, um...

I just don't know what
comes next. It all, uh...

It gets kind of foggy, you know?

Okay, well, can you remember
where you were?

In reality, out in the woods,
I think, uh,

but in my dream, I was,

like, at this, um, ceremony.

Everyone was there and...

At first, I thought
it was James's funeral,

um, but it was actually

mine.

And...

I was being buried.

And I-I remember dirt

falling onto my face.

I don't think he's gonna fit in there.

Yeah. Forgot how tall he was.

But it-it doesn't make any sense. Right?

I mean, w-why would Cole
say something like that to me?

Maybe he was talking to someone else.

All right, guys, look,
I-I'm going out on a limb here,

but what if Cole
was having a conversation

with some other person,
let's call them Person X,

but Walker's subconscious saw it as

an exchange between Hoyt and Sadie.

I mean, that's, you know,
that's a big limb.

Yeah, but-but if you're right,

that would mean the-the Jackal
had an accomplice.

Yeah, we considered
the partner theory years ago.

The majority of serial K*llers
work alone.

D.C. sn*pers worked together as a team.

Okay, that's-that's one case.

WALKER: Hollis Miller.

JAMES: What about him?

Hollis Miller. T-That's what
I was circling, um,

back at the motel.

Why his death was so different
than all the others.

I mean, the only thing linking his death

to the other Jackal kills
is the use of digoxin

as a poison, right?

He wasn't fed pureed food, there

were no jackal teeth, he wasn't buried.

So maybe-maybe Cole didn't k*ll him.

Maybe this, uh, this-this Person X did.

I mean, that would help explain
the inconsistency, right?

Guys, DNA results from the skin samples

found under David's fingernails
just came back.

- Cole Tillman's?
- It's a 50% match,

which means that Cole didn't k*ll David,

but someone closely related to him did.

- Wait a minute, 50%, that's...
- His daughter.

- Rebecca.
- She must be the accomplice.

JAMES: She can't have got far.

Okay, I need an APB
out on Rebecca Tillman.

She should be considered
armed and dangerous.

I forgot how tall he was.
I'll go get the shovel.

Get on the line with Austin PD
and the Sheriff's, right now.

She got a pretty big head start.

And we have no idea where she's headed.

There's one person who may know.

[BEEPING]

[DOOR UNLOCKS]

We know that your daughter
helped you commit the murders.

You two have a plan for fleeing

if law enforcement caught on?

You went dark once before.

You must've talked about it.
What was the plan?

Where is Rebecca heading?

I haven't spoken to Rebecca in years.

You're far from the mark.

We have your phone records.

And I heard you and your daughter

discussing how to bury me alive.

Send Rebecca's photo
to all your officers

and expand the search radius. All right.

JAMES [OVER SPEAKER]:
We confirmed Rebecca's DNA

was under Detective Luna's fingernails.

It's over.

You need to give her up, Cole,
right now.

I can't believe I ever
felt sorry for that woman.

I won't make that mistake again.

JAMES: Okay, look,
I get it, I understand.

You don't want your daughter caught.

You think you're helping her.
You are not.

You're hurting her right now
by staying silent.

Every single law enforcement
agency in Texas

is hunting down Rebecca.

JAMES: That's right. And
they're looking for a violent

serial k*ller, which means
they will not hesitate

to use deadly force.

But if you come clean
on the other killings,

you tell us how to find Rebecca,

I will bring your daughter in safely.

Rebecca can take care of herself.

[WALKER GROANS]

You need to understand
that you and your daughter

may be more alike than you realize.

JAMES: Is that right? Is she like you,
like you were in the woods?

Not one to go down without a fight?

You raised Rebecca by yourself, right?

Single parent, just the two of you.

Cole, the entire power
of Texas law enforcement

is in pursuit of your little girl

as we speak.

WALKER: Yeah, the Feds, too.

And if they find her first,
she may force their hand.

And she will not survive.

Cole, you need to fess up
if you want to help your daughter.

I mean, isn't that what
any good parent would do?

Cole. What kind of father are you, Cole?

I'll tell you everything.

But I want your promise
that you will bring her in safely.

I give you my word.

COLE [OVER SPEAKER]:
We had a plan, to go dark.

We kept a go bag at our house.

But when the walls started closing in...

we moved it...

to her worksite.

All right, Walker, when we get there,

you and I are taking the east exit,

sheriff and APD giving backup.

Trey, I want you and Cassie

Where's Cassie?

Uh, she keeps her tact gear in her car.

awaiting the latest update
on the Jackal,

who's been on the loose

- for six years.
- Excuse me.

Looks like we're ready to
start the press conference.

Thank you all for coming.

After a grueling six-year investigation,

the serial k*ller known as the Jackal
has finally been apprehended

and is currently in Ranger custody.

We've identified this man

as Cole Tillman,
a resident of Corpus Christi.

In addition to Mr. Tillman,
we have taken Rebecca Tillman,

his daughter, into custody as well.

Our investigators have been able to
establish that she had been working

alongside her father,

aiding and abetting him
with his heinous crimes.

But the emphasis today

shouldn't be on the K*llers.

Today, we should take the time
to honor the nine people that we lost,

as well as the family members
of those victims,

the ones who are gonna have to
carry that pain

for years to come.

Also,

tragically, we lost

one of our own,

Detective David Luna,

who heroically gave his life

in the apprehension of Mr. Tillman.

In closing, I just want to thank
my incredible team,

who has worked tirelessly on this case

to make sure that
the Jackal's reign of terror

is finally over. Thank you.

JAMES: We'll take,
we'll take one at a time.

We'll take one at a time.

After Hoyt died,

I think I sat on this couch
for three days straight.

For what it's worth,

I get it.

Feels like your world's been
turned upside down and inside out.

Grief does that.

[CHUCKLES] God, it's exhausting.

I don't know how I'm possibly
gonna pull it together

for the lieutenant's interviews
next week.

I should probably just take
my name out of contention.

No. Don't make any
life-altering decisions right now.

[SIGHS] I just feel so... numb.

That's normal.

But...

try not to throw away something good

just because something bad happened.

Uh, not tonight.

All right, well,

I warmed up some

[CHUCKLES] Thank you.

Hey, Stel?

I was hoping we could talk.

Will you just give me a chance
to explain a few things?

I need to explain a few things, too.

Okay. Well,

I-I'm ready to listen whenever.

I know we have a ton
to talk about, but...

could we maybe do it tomorrow?

Of course.

Yeah. Sure. Tomorrow would be just fine.
