Ep 16. War Zone (1)

Walker, Texas Ranger season 3 episode 16, titled "War Zone (1)," begins with a group of Marines returning home from duty in Kuwait. Among them is the brother of one of Walker's closest friends, Alex Cahill. As the Marines disembark from their plane on American soil, they are surprised to find protestors waiting for them, holding up signs that read "baby-killers" and "go home." The protestors begin to hurl insults and scream at the soldiers, causing a flurry of commotion and confusion.

Meanwhile, Walker is at a local hospital where he has been helping a young boy named Tony, who was diagnosed with cancer. Tony is a huge fan of Walker and asks him to tell him a story about one of his adventures as a Texas Ranger. Walker obliges and begins to recount a story about an old case he worked on. However, as he is telling the story, he receives a call from Alex, who tells him about the protestors at the airport. Walker quickly heads to the scene, hoping to diffuse the situation before it gets any worse.

As Walker arrives at the airport, he finds himself in the middle of a heated argument between the protestors and the returning Marines. The situation quickly escalates into violence, with the two groups throwing punches and engaging in physical altercations. Walker rushes in to break up the fight, but he is outnumbered and overpowered by the angry protestors.

As the violence continues to escalate, Walker realizes that this protest is not just a case of passionate individuals expressing their opinions, but rather an organized effort by a local militia group. Walker also learns that the militia group is connected to a larger, more dangerous organization that is planning to launch a full-scale attack on the returning soldiers.

With the help of his team, Walker begins to investigate the situation and tries to uncover the truth behind the militia's motives and plans. As he delves deeper into the group's activities, he discovers that they are linked to a number of other extremist organizations across the country.

Just as Walker and his team are getting close to uncovering the full extent of the militia group's scheme, they come under attack by the militants. In a stunning and explosive sequence, Walker and his team engage in a fierce battle against the heavily armed group, fighting for their lives as they try to protect the soldiers and ensure their safe return home.

As the episode comes to a close, Walker and his team are left to pick up the pieces of the brutal battle, as they try to make sense of the militia group's motivations and prevent any further attacks on American soil. The episode sets the stage for an intense conclusion in the second part of the two-part special, "War Zone (2)."
