SCRIPT SYNOPSIS: We open on a Texas hill at night, CORDELL WALKER (late 30s) ambles on horseback. A semi-truck passes him with four squad cars trailing behind it, sirens blaring. The driver dives out and jumps into the ravine. Without hesitation, Walker turns backward and kicks his horse into a gallop. He finds the guy through the darkness and... lassoes him. It turns out he already knows the guy. Later that night, he calls his wife EMILY. After some flirty banter, he hears a scream. Then gunfire. Then a horrible silence. His face falls. We jump to two years later at a banquet where CAPTAIN LARRY JAMES (40s) is celebrating Walker's achievements and his rerturn home. His parents, BONHAM and ABELINE WALKER (both in their late 50s), are there alongside his younger brother LIAM (20s) and his children, STELLA (15) and ARLO (13). There's just one person missing: Walker himself. He didn't bother coming to his own party. Some are pissed, others are unsurprised.

Meanwhile, our hero is at a vista point, flipping a coin. We're transported into a flashback where his younger self and his younger wife are dancing in that very spot. She's admiring her new engagement ring. Back in the present, with his bottle and sadness, he's approached by a police officer, SERGEANT RAMIREZ (30s). She's not happy that he's drinking in a public space. She asks for his license and decides to drive him home. She explains it's her last night as a highway patrol officer. She's been promoted. The morning after, he's back at work and discovers she's his new partner. She goes by MICKI.
