Series overview
Pilot
The two-hour pilot, Sons of Thunder, was shown as episode 4.24 of Walker. This episode introduced the characters, childhood friends Dallas PD Detective Carlos Sandoval and Army sergeant Trent Malloy.
Trent Malloy returns home after his father, Walker's close friend Reverend Thunder Malloy, dies of a heart attack. He eventually chooses to quit the Army and stay in Texas. Meanwhile, Walker and his partner Trivette are tracking a serial cop killer who has Carlos on his list. Trent unintentionally becomes involved in the case when he saves Carlos's life, and helps Walker and Carlos take down the criminal. [3]
Seasons 5 and 6 of Walker
During Seasons 5 and 6 of Walker, Carlos appeared in 15 episodes and Trent in 12 episodes. One of these episodes included a Hayes Cooper story in which both actors appeared in a dual role. During these episodes, Trent opens a martial arts dojo and a protection agency to help those who are too scared to go to the police or who the police can't help. Sometimes Carlos assists him with these cases, sometimes the pair helps Walker with his cases (which often involve personal issues), and sometimes Trent turns over a case to Walker when the job requires resources he can't provide.
The spin-off series
In 1999, the two characters were featured in a spin-off series, which only lasted six episodes. Carlos resigns from the police department after his partner is murdered by a serial killer, who was a failed police applicant. He teams up with Trent to find the assassin, and they later decide to form their own private investigation firm called Thunder Investigation.
