Dallas (2012) s03e10 Episode Script

Dead Reckoning

Previously on Dallas You will screw up.
I mean, everybody does.
You just have to get in the dirt with life anyway and kick its ass more than it kicks yours.
- What are you doing back here? - I need to make things right.
Here.
Give this to Emma, okay? I started the fire.
I was drunk.
And I saw their wedding invitation, and I lit it on fire.
- Thanks for trying to save my aunt.
- Thanks for saving me.
- Oh, I missed you.
- I bought you a bull.
- This guy look like a spinner? - Definitely.
You tried to kill yourself.
I did what I did so that every time you think about screwing that piece of trash, all you'll be able to see is me on the floor with my eyes rolled back in my head.
All I could think was how lucky I was to have you in my life.
And now I wonder what secrets you're keeping from me.
Are you kicking me out? Ryland sent a video to Pamela of me and Emma having sex.
How do you know it was Ryland? Who the hell else would do something like that? If Elena found out you were using her pain over our father's death just to pay a debt to drug dealers, she would despise you.
With what I've done, I'm going to hell.
I'll save you a seat.
You should have listened.
What the hell you doing? Everything I did is because of J.
R.
, and his damn masterpiece, and look where that got me.
J.
R.
Told you what to do, but he didn't tell you how to do it.
He wanted you to get Ryland Transport.
Not sleep with Emma Ryland.
I don't blame J.
R.
I blame myself, for trying to be J.
R.
Pamela almost died today, and that is on me.
But sending her that video, that's just cruel.
And you mark my word, that somebody's gonna pay for it.
- That why you called me here today? - Yeah.
I got to be sure Harris Ryland sent that video before we pull the trigger.
I'm on it.
That letter was the last thing J.
R.
Ever wrote.
Don't do something you'll live to regret.
I was making breakfast.
You hungry, mijo? Thanks, Carmen.
But I got to get back to the hospital.
Come in, Derrick.
Why is it, every time you appear on my doorstep, I just know I'm gonna have a bad day? I'm not here to see you, Mr.
Ewing.
I'm sorry, Mrs.
Ramos.
I have terrible news.
I am so sorry.
Pamela almost died because of that video.
I never meant for that to happen.
I told you that sending that video would crush her.
How could you do that? I thought if I could turn, Pamela, I could put an end to this for you.
You went behind my back, and then you lied to me.
Mama.
Mami, calm down.
I can't I can't understand you.
What? No.
What is it? My brother's dead.
- Mama.
- Mija.
Mama.
What happened? A hunter found him early this morning on your father's land.
They think it was suicide.
- Suicide? - No.
Andres would never take his own life.
- Never.
- Carmen.
Carmen, Drew came to Christopher a few days ago, and he was crazy with grief over the explosion.
Drew came to see me, too.
He was upset.
But my boy wouldn't take his own life.
Miss Ramos? Detective Linnell.
I'm the lead on your son's case.
We're gonna need someone to positively ID the body.
It only has to be one of you.
- I'll go.
- No.
We'll all go together.
Oh, no.
Enough.
That's him.
No.
No.
No.
That apartment wasn't much bigger than this room.
We couldn't sit at the kitchen table when the oven door was open.
- It was awful.
- We didn't mind, though.
- We were happy.
- Yeah.
I know I threw all that away the first time I got hurt.
- I know.
I'm sorry.
- Yeah, that's Been here all night.
I figured you could use it.
Thank you.
- How you feeling? - I'm hanging in there.
- I'll be back in a bit.
- Yeah, of course.
Can't they give him anything more for the pain? He's refusing everything.
He's determined to do it differently this time.
I was surprised, too.
Maybe this was the wake-up call he needed, you know? Wish he didn't broke his back to figure it out.
Remember the neurologist I told you about from UT? The one who's booked like a gazillion months in advance? She's flying in today from Houston.
Oh, my God.
That's amazing.
Thank you.
Bo will be back on his feet in no time.
You'll see.
You're so not like any of the guys I've been with.
I'm not sure what you want me to say.
I guess I want you to be honest.
Okay.
I honestly want you to leave.
Oh, good.
You can go now.
My mother-in-law will make sure I don't slit my wrists.
We'll continue this later.
Thank you for seeing me.
The choice was between you, and Dr.
Suicide-Watch.
Don't be too flattered.
Don't worry.
I'm not.
Dr.
Sussman says he needs to be convinced that I'm not a danger to myself before he'll discharge me.
It's ridiculous.
Is it? I wasn't trying to kill myself.
I was just making a point.
There are other ways of making a point than swallowing a whole bottle of pills.
Careful.
I'm suddenly longing for the doctor.
You almost died trying to make John Ross, and Emma pay.
What you need to come to terms with is the fact that you were willing to throw your life away.
And maybe then, they'll let you out of here.
Why do I need to be on some damn list? I am her husband.
I know you're not taking that tone with me, sir.
I'll tell you what.
You put me on that list, I will give you two weeks' salary.
Fine.
Three weeks'.
I'm starting to realize why your name's not on the list.
Now, plant your ass over there in those seats before I plant it for you.
His St.
Christopher medal.
It's not here.
He always wore it.
Only jewelry he had on him was his watch.
That can't be.
My son never took it off.
Mami, suicide's a mortal sin.
Drew wouldn't have been able to do it with it on.
Maybe it was in his pocket, or around the body.
The forensic team combed the area.
If it was there, they would have found it.
Then my son didn't commit suicide, Detective.
I know it.
We'll see what the autopsy report says, Miss Ramos.
Elena, look at me.
- This is my fault! - It's not.
Drew is dead, because he discovered the deed switch.
He couldn't live with that.
If I had just told him the truth from the beginning, then maybe J.
R.
Ewing is the reason your brother is dead, not you.
No, everything we've done trying to get my family justice, the lying, the keeping secrets, it's a mistake.
We have to tell everybody the truth.
No, we can't.
Elena, we have to see this through, for your father.
- And now for Drew.
- Don't you dare do that.
I don't want to be kept on track anymore.
I'm going to go be with my mother.
Poor Carmen.
I knew Drew was troubled, but this.
I should make some food.
You know what they say, "Starve a cold, feed a tragedy.
" Lieutenant Bennett.
What are you doing back here again? I needed to take some additional samples.
I'll be in touch when we know more.
- I'm so sorry.
- Thank you.
Thank you for calling me.
Of course.
Carmen.
You are not welcome here.
Neither of you.
We're just here to pick up Emma's stuff.
We will send her stuff to you.
Here, this is from Drew.
He told me to give you this the other day when I saw him.
What's wrong? Is he okay? Drew's dead, Emma.
They think it was suicide.
If he said anything in that letter that would explain this, you'll tell me, won't you? Out of respect for Carmen and Elena, I won't make a scene.
But you come near my property again, you will regret it.
Property? Is that any way to talk about your lovely wife? I'll pack up Emma's things and send them over.
Just go.
Please.
- Coming in? - Give me a minute.
Dear Emma, I think about you every day.
And when I do, I think about the future we could have had, about the man I could have been.
I saw a light in you, a goodness in you that I'm not sure you saw in yourself.
But the truth is, you deserve a better man than me.
I'm sorry I didn't fight harder to be that man.
I'm sorry I ran away.
I'm sorry.
Emma, is everything okay? Emma, honey? No, everything's not okay.
It's your fault Drew is dead.
You hired him to blow up that rig, and he killed himself over the guilt for killing those babies.
That boy, did not need my help to do bad.
I was just trying to protect you.
I didn't need to be protected from him.
He was the only man who ever saw any good in me.
He was the only one who ever made me feel like I could be normal.
Maybe if Drew had never gotten involved with you, then we would still be together.
And maybe I wouldn't have slept with John Ross, and maybe Pamela wouldn't have tried to kill herself.
We all make our own choices, Emma.
You're right.
We do.
The Ewings think their drunk relative set the fire.
And the police believe that Drew committed suicide.
Wonderful news all around.
The police are still investigating.
Oh, relax.
My men took every precaution necessary to make sure that Drew's death is ruled a suicide.
And you You should be grateful for that.
Because if the Ewings knew that Drew set the fire, they would start asking a lot of questions.
It would only be a matter of time before they figure out Nothing will jeopardize our takeover of Ewing Global, Luis.
I know what's at stake.
I gave El Pozolero my word that I would take care of this.
If he's unhappy with me, he should step out of the shadows and tell me to my face.
Because I'm getting tired of yours.
There is one more thing.
I'm worried about Elena.
What if the pain over her brother's suicide becomes too much for her to handle, causing her to follow in his footsteps? I would be very careful with your threats.
A man with nothing to lose has nothing to fear.
Well As long as your takeover plan works, and gets us control of Ewing Global, neither one of us have a thing to worry about.
VĂ¡manos, move! - Dr.
Bosnar.
- I'm sorry it took so long.
- I just finished with Bo.
- And? The good news is, all of his nerves are still intact.
But his spinal cord is severely damaged.
- Can you fix it? - I can't.
But a colleague of mine in Israel, developed a stem-cell treatment.
Now, it's three operations over 18 months.
But it would increase Bo's chances for a meaningful recovery to 80 percent.
And they can take him? You'll have to set him up in Tel Aviv with the proper caregivers, and support system.
But there's no reason why Bo shouldn't be dancing at his son's wedding one day.
That's amazing.
Thank you.
Yeah, when his wife heard, she broke into tears and hugged me.
His ex-wife.
Oh, I didn't realize.
I'll put you in touch with my colleague.
Great, thanks.
So, is he a spinner? Is he bucky? How's this work? - Show me.
- Let me see.
Let me see.
Show me.
- I lost my tooth.
- Show Daddy.
Wow, so what did you get for that tooth right there? Oh, wow! - Five dollars! - All that money, man.
Show the bull.
Show the bull.
Mr.
Ewing? Mr.
Ewing? Mr.
Ewing.
- What is it? What's wrong? - You're on the list.
- Huh? - Your wife.
She'll see you now.
I don't wanna be like this anymore.
I don't want to be the guy that I don't want to be the guy that could have done this to you.
I know it's gonna be hard for me to convince you of that right now.
All I can do is try to prove it every single day of my life.
Pamela, I'm so sorry.
For everything.
I didn't call you in here so you can try to fix us, John Ross.
I called you in here to tell you to stop sitting out there, because it's over.
Pamela, don't say that.
Look, I spent my entire childhood trying to get my father to love me.
And all I've done in my adult life was continue that pattern by falling for a man who put greed and ambition before me.
And just like with my father, I was willing to do anything to get you to love me, John Ross.
But I see now.
Our marriage was just an excuse to get my shares of Ewing Global.
That you didn't put your mother away to get her help, but to push the IPO through.
I see now that there will never be enough success, enough money to fill that hole where your heart should be.
Pamela, please.
Look, I love you, okay? I swear.
From now on, it's gonna be different, okay? I will be diff I will be different for you.
I'll be different.
I promise.
You asked me what I want.
I want you to leave, because our marriage is over.
Huh.
Tell me one good reason why I shouldn't call your father and tell him you're here.
Because I'm so much better-looking than he is.
And as of three days ago, my grandmother made me next in line to the throne at Ryland Transport, which means, should something happen to my father, I'm in charge.
I think you'll find I'm much more agreeable than he is.
What exactly are you trying to say? You got my father out of prison.
I want you to put him back in.
Let's revisit this at your appointment on Friday.
I'll be there.
I know I need to start making myself the priority.
Good.
They're discharging you? Yeah.
I wasn't trying to kill myself.
But it doesn't mean I wasn't ready to.
And that terrifies me.
I didn't die when I passed out drunk and set that fire.
But I just as easily could have.
That terrifies me.
With your room burned at Southfork, you're gonna need a place to stay.
So I want you to know that you can stay at my place for as long as you need.
Thank you, Sue Ellen.
Have you given any thought to what you're gonna do? Well, as much as I may want a divorce, John Ross and I never got a prenup.
I can't take the chance of him being awarded any part of my shares of Ewing Global.
If John Ross thinks I'm gonna leave this marriage with less than what I came in with, he's sorely mistaken.
What about making yourself a priority? I am making myself the priority.
If I walk away from this marriage, John Ross wins, I'm not about to let that happen.
Hey.
Hey.
I was looking for you.
- This is for you.
- What is it? It's the paperwork for Bo's treatment.
It's paid for.
When you get to the hospital, just hand them that, and you're good to go.
Bo needs Michael, and Michael needs you.
I guess it's I guess it's true, huh? We'll always be connected to our first love.
Yeah.
I Yeah, I Thank you.
Ms.
Ramos.
You found something, didn't you? The autopsy confirmed that your son committed suicide.
In addition to the gunshot residue we found on Drew's hands, we found a combination of nitrogen and hydrazine.
- Rocket fuel.
- Wait.
What are you saying? Well, this fire burned fast and hot.
We tested for the usual accelerants, but found nothing.
So we attributed it to the fuel load in the room and the age of the structure.
But when the ME alerted us to the fact that he had discovered those traces of hydrazine and nitrogen we ran some more tests.
We found the same chemical signature on the remains of a air freshener near the ignition point.
I don't understand.
This fire was arson.
The accelerant? Rocket fuel.
And Drew Ramos set the fire.
No.
It wasn't you, Sue Ellen.
Why did Drew set fire to Southfork? It doesn't make any sense.
He's right.
Why would Andres do something like this when he was so determined to make things right? My mom needs some rest.
I'm gonna take her back to my place.
What's going on? You need to tell me.
Remember when I went to Mexico to see Cliff Barnes? Uh-huh.
He's the one who told me.
What? J.
R.
Switched the deeds.
J.
R.
Stole our family's future, our family's legacy.
Papi died out there alone drilling a dry hole that would never produce oil.
And J.
R.
Knew it.
This was J.
R.
's deed to a plot of land that he knew had no oil on it.
Papi's land was three miles away.
You probably remember it as Ewing 43.
No.
- No, it's not possible.
- I didn't wanna believe it, either.
But I went back, and I researched the land records all the way back to when Papi's great-great grandfather bought it, and everything Cliff said is true.
And Andres found out about it.
That's why he set the fire.
And that's why you and Joaquin are working against the Ewings.
I needed to make them pay for what they did.
Oh, Elli.
How could you keep this from me? From Drew? Mom, I knew if I told you, you would never be able to keep it from the Ewings.
You would want to confront them.
I knew J.
R.
Was ambitious and ruthless.
But Bobby? The Ewings aren't who you think they are, Mama.
They framed Cliff Barnes for J.
R.
's murder.
They will do anything to protect family.
And when the time comes, we'll take care of this ourselves.
As a family.
Elli, there was a letter.
What? The day of J.
R.
's funeral, Bum gave Bobby a handwritten letter from J.
R.
I couldn't hear everything they said, but I could tell that Bobby didn't want anyone to know about it.
Elli.
I saw John Ross this morning reading that letter and putting it in his wallet.
This could be the proof we need that the Ewings framed Cliff Barnes.
How do we get that letter, Elli? I know why I'm drinking.
What's your excuse? Pamela.
We're over.
And it's a damn shame, because that bathroom I was building was gonna be something special.
I'm sorry, John Ross.
Maybe she was right.
Having J.
R.
's DNA in my blood, is a curse.
I think every time something bad happens, we think we'll recover.
But all those scars, they start to add up.
Happens so incrementally, you don't notice till it's too late.
And then one day, you wake up, you look at yourself in the mirror, and you don't even recognize yourself.
You told me, that every day is a chance to make it right.
Maybe I was wrong.
There's nothing you could have done to save him, Elena.
"Bobby, doctors say I only have a few days left.
Damn cancer.
I had Bum steal Barnes' gun, the final and most important piece of the puzzle.
Carlos Del Sol will smooth out the rough edges for you in Mexico.
Put an end to the feud once and for all.
