Walking Tall: Lone Justice 2007

It has been a year since Nick Prescott [Kevin Sorbo] became the sheriff of Boone, Texas, and cleaned up the town. Now, he is moving to Dallas so he can be with his FBI agent fiancée Kate Jensen [Yvette Nipar] and her 12-year-old daughter Samantha Jensen [Haley Ramm]. Currently, Kate is one of the many people working to put away Octavio Perez [Rodrigo De la Rosa], the biggest drug kingpin in the central states. When the two main witnesses against Perez are killed by his men in a safe-house, the testimony of Kate and three other investigators, including Lt. Doug Maxwell [Mark W. Johnson], becomes the only way to put Perez away.

They are lodged in another safe-house to wait for the trial, but the place is invaded by Perez’s men, and two of the agents are executed, leaving Kate and Maxwell alive, but Kate is in critical condition. Nick believes that there is a traitor who is leaking the safe house locations to Perez’s men. Nick saves Kate from an attempt on her life at the hospital, and takes Kate and Samantha to his ranch in Boone, where Kate can continue to recover, with Nick’s mother Emma Prescott [Gail Cronauer] helping to watch over her and Nick has some of his friends watching over the ranch to make sure no one gets to Kate, Emma, and Samantha.

After Kate wakes up and is up to walking around, she looks back on when she was shot, and she remembers something that leads her to realize that Maxwell is the traitor. After Maxwell and some of Perez’s men kidnap Nick, along with Kate’s boss, Marcia Tunney [Elizabeth Barondes], Perez and his men get the location of the ranch, and leave to go after Kate. Perez’s girlfriend Ramona [Christina Hearn], who has cut off two of Tunney’s fingers in order to get information from her, is left behind, and after Nick frees himself, he distracts Ramona long enough for Tunney to kill her.

Nick tells Tunney that he will send her some help, and then he races to the ranch, and he gets there before Perez and his men do. Perez and his men arrive, and gunfire erupts. All of Perez’s men are killed, and Kate fatally shoots Perez. Maxwell chases Samantha into the woods, and grabs her. Samantha, who knows Taekwondo, escapes from Maxwell, and Nick kills Maxwell by shooting him twice. Kate recovers, and she and Nick are still together.
