Dallas (2012) s03e13 Episode Script
Boxed In
Previously on "Dallas" Nicolas isn't working with Cliff.
He's going after the company himself.
- Is it done? - Ewing Global is officially ours.
We don't have any evidence to stop these people.
I think I know someone who can help.
But it's the last person I want to go to for a favor.
If you don't use your contacts to help me prove that the cartel was behind the takeover, I'll be forced to bring Candace out of hiding.
Once you take care of our Candace problem, I will agree to increase the amount of product running through the pipeline by 25%.
Those hands belong to your whore.
It's my gift to you to show you I'm a man of my word.
And this here is to make sure you keep yours.
Double the shipments immediately.
Or they're dead.
Sit down.
Sit down and don't move.
I'm sorry if your journey down was a bit rough.
But bringing you here was the only option I had to get Judith's attention.
You must be starving.
Can I get you something to drink or eat? Just water, please.
Where do you think we are? Mexico? South Texas? I don't know.
I am so sorry.
This is all my fault.
Let's stay strong, Emma.
Together, we're stronger than apart.
Have you accepted my demands? It's all set.
Our trucks are on their way south.
Promise me that you'll have all the border people paid off.
Now that we're doing this, I want it done as quickly as possible.
I can assure you, Judith, everyone involved in this transaction wants our product moved quickly.
Your loved ones, especially.
I'm keeping my end of the bargain, Luis, and I expect you to do the same because if something should happen to my granddaughter, trust me when I say you and everyone you love will die regretting it.
We'll be in touch, Judith.
If those trucks get stopped at the border and he does anything to hurt my Emma Listen to me.
Listen to me.
Listen to me.
Okay, we are doing exactly as they asked.
They need those trucks.
Why don't you go upstairs and lie down? Come on.
I'll have your medication sent up.
Look, I've got this under control.
You hear me? Mr.
Ryland, you have visitors.
Come on in.
Harris, I need your help to contact the CIA.
The cartel has taken over Ewing Global.
Ewing Global isn't the only thing they've taken.
Hey.
What is it? Something's happened.
I need to explain because I love you.
And I need you to understand, okay? Okay.
After you and your family moved to Texas, I didn't stay in the catholic school.
I went back to the streets, Ellie.
You should've told us, Nicolas.
There were some boys dealing drugs.
Pretty soon, the boss of this gang, Orestes, noticed that I had a facility with numbers.
He told me that I was destined for great things.
And I believed him.
I was thrown in jail a few times.
But Orestes got me out.
He sent me to study in Europe to become educated, to become Nicolas Treviño.
Then Orestes started to change.
Mexico's drug trade wasn't enough for him.
He wanted to control the government, too.
I was desperate.
I was tied to a man who had become a murderer.
Orestes knew I wanted out, so he made a deal with me.
If I could deliver the funds to buy the next national election, I could be free.
In my eagerness, I overreached on an investment and I lost the cartel more than half a billion dollars.
And then you came back into my life.
Just like when we were children, you saved me.
What are you saying, Joaquin? The Ewing Global deal.
Orestes forced me to take it for him.
Orestes' last name is Mendez-Ochoa.
He is the war criminal known as El Pozolero.
You used me to pay your debt to the Mendez-Ochoa cartel! I am so sorry.
We need to tell the Ewings.
We need to tell the S.
E.
C.
so they can fix this.
They can undo this.
We can't.
There's nothing we can do.
Please, listen to me.
Orestes threatened to kill my sons.
He threatened to kill you.
Hunter McKay set up the shell companies for the cartel.
He is dead.
They're tying up loose ends.
They want me to sell off all the divisions of the company so they can use the cash to influence the election.
Until then, we are both in danger.
You were the one person I thought I could trust.
But I never knew you at all.
You need rescue them now.
We need to find them first.
Then call in all your resources and find them.
At least act like you give a damn.
I feel for you all.
I do.
I'm not unsympathetic to your situation.
I have a wife and a daughter, too.
And that is the only reason I'm telling you as much as I am about a classified CIA operation.
But locating and rescuing kidnapped U.
S.
citizens is not just an operational decision.
It's a diplomatic one, above my pay grade.
- Bullshit.
- Then call your boss.
I'll call Langley right away, ask if we can put some pressure on the Mexican government to accelerate a move against the cartel.
But I got to be honest.
I don't think Mexican authorities will authorize a move unless it gets them El Pozolero.
- Who? - The head of the Mendez-Ochoa cartel.
He's been underground for the last four years, selling drugs, laundering money to liberate Mexico.
Both the Mexican government and the CIA believe catching him is the only way to stop a complete destabilization of the country.
I can appreciate what the CIA and the Mexican government are trying to accomplish.
But I refuse to allow my wife and her daughter to become collateral damage! The cartel made it perfectly clear that if we don't start doubling our shipments immediately, Ann and Emma are dead.
So you tell your bosses I'm moving those drugs with or without their protection.
Ryland? What the hell are you doing here? Why are you all here? What's going on? Emma's in this mess because of you, you little shit, pushing her to work against me! Ann and Emma were kidnapped by the Mendez-Ochoa cartel.
Ryland's not running drugs like Emma told you.
He was working with the CIA.
The cartel can't find out about Ryland and the CIA, or Ann and Emma will be killed.
So, how are you gonna find them? It turns out a lieutenant in the cartel has them, a man named Luis.
We have two options of tracking him down Nicolas Treviño, Victor Des Lauriers.
Nicolas is inside man on the I.
P.
O.
Turns out they were both working together to steal the company for the cartel.
Finding either one of them could lead us to Luis.
And Ann and Emma.
I'll do what I can to track down Des Lauriers and Treviño.
But I won't be able to get your trucks any CIA protection at the border.
I'm not gonna wait for the CIA to find Treviño.
I'm gonna find him myself.
How? Lucia Treviño.
I bet she knows where her husband is.
I'll contact Carlos.
He has contacts within the Mexican government and the federal police, too.
These guys aren't just drug lords.
They're businessmen.
Look, they took Ann and Emma because they wanted money.
Treviño offered them a deal.
Let's bring them a better one.
- Hello? - And what would that be? - What's going on? - I don't know yet.
I'll figure it out.
Check with me before you do something, okay? Thank you.
What's happening, Christopher? That was the office.
Treviño just sold the consumer division at Ewing Global.
He's selling our assets at 70 cents on the dollar.
With prices like that, the cartel will get the money they need quickly.
And once they get the money they need They won't need hostages.
Emma.
Hmm? I'll be right back, okay? Where are you going? Just sit tight.
If there's a way out of here, I'm gonna try to find it.
Excuse me, señor? May I go to the washroom, please? Of course.
Diego will show you the way.
Un momento, por favor.
Hey.
After everything that happened, I never thought I'd see you anywhere near Southfork again.
Well, I guess you were wrong, because here I am.
Why are you here? My father's feud with the Ewings is over.
But mine is just beginning.
I'm staying here in this marriage until my idiot husband can figure out a way to get the company back.
And once he does, I'm gonna take him for everything he's worth.
Look, I know you hate me, and I don't blame you.
But we got to set our feudings aside, Pamela.
Ann and Emma have been kidnapped by the Mendez-Ochoa cartel.
Oh, my God.
The cartel asked Ryland to push more drugs through the pipeline in exchange for Ann and Emma's freedom.
Christopher's tracking down Nicolas, and I'm gonna try to broker a deal between the cartel and Nasir.
You think Nasir's gonna want to do business with you again? Your word means nothing to him.
You might be right.
But I have to try to convince him to trust me again.
Look, if I can get Nasir to lend me the money to buy the divisions the cartel's liquidating I may be able to make a deal for Ann and Emma's freedom.
Pamela, they are in danger.
I have to do something.
I could really use your help.
I need to unpack.
You shouldn't have come back to Mexico, Señor Ewing.
These parts have been very dangerous lately.
Rebels killing locals and tourists without discrimination.
Well, things have been very dangerous in Dallas as well, Señora Treviño.
That's why I'm here.
I know your husband's real name is Joaquin Reyes, and I know that he's in debt to the Mendez-Ochoa cartel.
The cartel threatened our family if my husband didn't repay his debt.
Nicolas is a good man.
He's a good father.
He was left with no other choice.
Would a good father who fears for his children's lives leave their side with things as dangerous as you have described? The cartel has already killed one man involved in the Ewing Global takeover and has kidnapped two of my family members.
I need to find Nicolas because I think that he can lead us to them.
Nicolas has run off with Elena Ramos.
Nicolas isn't putting your welfare at the top of his list.
He's holed up somewhere with Elena, and he won't come back for you, no matter what you tell yourself.
Please, let's help each other.
I'm sorry, Mr.
Ewing.
I'm not saying you're lying.
I just want to make sure he's getting my messages.
Look, what did he say when you told him I called? Well, I'm sorry you had to hear that type of language.
Here to beat up on me some more? Get in line.
I got people that hate me on every continent.
Was that Nasir? Yeah.
He hates me, just like you said.
But he doesn't hate me.
What are you saying? You and Emma It killed me, John Ross.
I believed in both of you.
But Ann I'll do anything to help her.
Even if it means helping you.
Lucia? Is everything all right with the boys? Yes, as all right as things can be with you away.
Where are you, Nicolas? I can't tell you that.
You know it wouldn't be safe for you and the boys to know where I am.
A bomb went off on the city bus today.
Eight people were killed.
I just don't feel safe here without you.
I've even stopped sending the kids to school.
When are you coming home? I'm sending a plane for you and the boys immediately.
I want you to go back to the Costa Azul until this is over.
Orestes has possession of Ewing Global.
Your debt is paid.
What more does he want? Things have gotten complicated.
Christopher Ewing was here looking for you.
He knows your real name.
He knows about your debt to the cartel.
And he said that you and Elena were together.
No, Christopher is manipulating you to get you to tell him where I am.
Elena is in a hotel in Dallas.
If Orestes finds me, I don't want Elena hurt anymore than I want you and the boys hurt.
Now, may I speak with my sons? They're with the tutor.
I'll have them call you when they're done.
I know I lied.
I told her you weren't with me, but for good reason.
Lucia is a jealous and impulsive woman.
The last thing I need right now is for her to do something rash or stupid.
Be with your family, protect them.
It's too late for me and Lucia.
For now, I just need her and the boys to be safe.
I'm protecting them by making sure my debt is fully paid.
I love you, Elena.
And I hope someday you'll be able to forgive me For all the terrible things I've done.
A proper drink for a proper lady.
So You were married to Harris Ryland.
Yes.
A long time ago.
Hmm.
Well, I don't see him deserving you.
Perhaps he was more handsome with hair.
Ah.
Excuse me.
Sí.
Dígame.
¿Qué? Imaldita sea! No! No! No, please! Stop! No! - No! What happened? - No! No! No! Stop! Leave her alone! Leave her alone! Don't! Mom! Emma! Emma! Hello, Luis.
I just got a call from one of my men.
It seems your trucks have been stopped at the border.
Did you not think I was serious about my threat? This is exactly what I was worried about in the first place.
Moving more trucks across the border always meant more risk.
I warned you this could happen.
But I can fix it, if you'll just give me a little more time.
And I warned you what would happen if you didn't do exactly as I asked.
Say hello to your grandma.
I'm sorry, grandma.
This is it's all my fault.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, God, please don't do that.
I only need one hostage.
And at this moment, I have two.
Please don't do this.
Aah! Emma! Emma! Damn you! Damn you! No! Habla con tu abuela.
I I'm okay.
Oh! I'm okay.
Oh! I want you to think about the emotion you just felt.
And then imagine feeling it every day for the rest of your life.
You have one day to get the trucks moving.
She's okay.
Oh, my God.
Oh! I thought I lost you.
It's okay.
It's okay.
We're gonna be okay.
It's okay.
Shh.
That's what they thought, too.
Senator, we're talking about my wife and my stepdaughter, two Americans who are in trouble because the CIA is doing business with the cartel.
The government created this mess.
The government should clean it up now, before innocent lives are lost.
I wish there was something I could do, Bobby, but our government is weighing the lives of two citizens against the security of an entire nation.
I know there's something you can do, Joe.
You're a United States senator, for God's sake.
I'll talk to my colleagues on the intelligence committee.
But other than that, my hands are tied.
The longer they're there, they Things are escalating, Sue Ellen.
Look at this.
Riots broke out again today in the streets of Mexico City in response to the murder of yet another federal magistrate.
Many believe the killings are part of a plan by the Mendez-Ochoa cartel to consolidate power in their bid to influence the upcoming presidential election.
I should be doing more.
My sister-in-law, Sue Ellen Ewing, made me aware of a near breach of one of our gas pipelines.
Leaks happen almost every day.
Even with expedited repairs, an explosion could happen at any time.
With so many lives at risk in South Texas, I'm proposing we do something about it now.
Well, there is no doubt that gas-pipeline safety is an important part of the railroad commission's purview, but the emergency drill that you're proposing, Bobby, would involve large-scale evacuations.
We would have to clear train tracks for miles on both sides of the border.
I'm aware of that.
Tests like that don't come cheap, especially on such short notice.
And I'm aware of that.
But cost and inconvenience is a small price to pay for human lives.
That's why I'm proposing we do this emergency training exercise with our Mexican counterparts so that crews on both sides of the border can be well-prepared in case of a gas-pipeline leak.
It's that simple.
I'm gonna step outside.
You two discuss it, and then, uh, we'll take it to a vote.
How did it go? Well, I'm counting on their instinct for self-preservation to guide their conscience.
You do realize what will happen if you get caught.
Well, since I don't have immunity from the CIA and I'm going against their wishes to bring a trainload of drugs across the border, I'm guessing there'll be a little jail time.
Federal prison.
For the rest of your life.
If it helps bring Ann and Emma back, it's worth every day of it.
The last time you were here, Mr.
and Mrs.
Ewing, you assured me and my father that you would make good on J.
R.
's pledge to include our family in your plans for the Arctic leases, leases that we are not allowed to bid on as foreigners.
And once again, the Ewings failed to make good on their word.
My husband failed to make good on his word.
I was raised to believe that a wife should support her husband.
I was here last time as just that, a wife.
But today I'm here as a businesswoman, your highness, and my word is my bond.
That is the only reason I agreed to this meeting, Mrs.
Ewing, because I take you as a woman of integrity, a word foreign to your husband.
Nobody knows that better than I do.
When I married, half of everything I owned became my husband's, including my shares in Barnes global, the company my father founded.
Indeed.
It was your dowry.
I trusted my husband when he assured me that we would have controlling interest in the company.
But, instead, he lost it all, his family's legacy and mine.
Dishonorable and inept, a most unfortunate combination in a businessman.
I'm here, your highness, because I believe that my family's loss might be your family's gain.
How so? The Mendez-Ochoa cartel bought the shares of Ewing Global with drug money.
Now they're selling off all the divisions at 70 cents on the dollar.
These are blue-chip divisions we're talking about timber, mining, media, insurance.
If we were to offer, say, I believe we'd be able to buy it all back in one fell swoop.
Why would I lend you an exorbitant amount of money to get in business with criminals? Because the methane technology is among the assets Ewing Global has for sale.
Once we buy them back, I'll be able to bid on the Arctic leases off the Alaskan coast, as only an American company can.
Seeing as your family's reserves are gonna be dry within five years, I have a feeling you're gonna be thirsty for that sweet Arctic crude.
I'm intrigued, of course, but skeptical.
I've been burned by the Ewings before.
But never by a Barnes.
I find your loyalty to your family admirable, Mrs.
Ewing.
Ms.
Barnes.
Better yet, Pamela.
You don't have much time, Your Highness.
A day maybe.
Nasir, Pamela.
I hear sincerity in your voice, and I see integrity in your eyes.
I will speak to my father right away and let you know what we decide.
I'm not sure exactly how you pulled it off, Ewing, but you're a lucky man to have such a wife.
Arriba.
Gracias.
Someone will meet you at the landing strip and take you to Luis.
I told him you would solve our transit problem.
Emma is all I have.
Thank you.
That's how I feel about Ann.
Bring them home safe.
We have a deal.
The sheik has agreed to give us the loan.
Thank you for pulling off the impossible, Pamela.
You're amazing.
I did it for Ann.
And I did it for my legacy.
Nothing's changed between us, John Ross.
I'm surprised to hear you were at the gate.
After this morning In Latin America, the family means everything, Mr.
Ewing.
Nothing can be allowed to interfere with the sanctity of the family.
Even infidelity can't tarnish that sanctity.
So, we give our husbands room to indulge their impulses, with the unspoken understanding that our loyalty ends the moment the family becomes subservient to the mistress.
My family has been threatened, and my husband has made a choice to break our family.
Do you know where he is? Yes.
I know more about my husband than he realizes.
Do you think that daddy will move the trucks in time? Your father will do everything in his power to save us.
I know that.
Ann, would you like to join me for dinner? Do I have a choice? Not really.
Sit down.
Please, eat.
I'm glad you like it.
My secret is using the freshest ingredients.
The boy from the farm down the road brings me fresh vegetables every day.
Sometimes I let him sample my cooking.
Of course, I'm not the cook El Pozolero is.
But I can make a few dishes like this pozole, a hearty Mexican stew.
I believe I've lost my appetite.
Oh, you must've heard about my boss, El Pozolero, and how he got his nickname.
Dissolving the remains of his victims in a stew of acid.
Ahh.
An exaggeration, I can assure you.
Emma and I are your hostages.
We're already at your mercy.
Do you need to terrorize us, too? I'm sorry.
It's not my intention to terrorize you.
I'm simply trying to make the best of a difficult situation.
Well, you have a sick way of doing it.
Forgive me.
I've never had the privilege of an education or proper upbringing.
You're a beautiful woman.
Harris Ryland is a bigger fool than I thought for letting you get away.
Bobby Ewing is here.
Excuse me.
You understand that requesting to meet with me and coming here alone, you've put yourself at my mercy.
Well, you seem like a nice enough fella.
Here.
I brought you something.
"Railroads move the nation.
" I can arrange one time only for you to move as much product as you want, much more than a fleet of Ryland trucks can accommodate, between Mexico and the U.
S.
by rail.
And what makes you think that your train would fare better than our trucks at the border? The odds are worse.
One train only needs one nosy border patrol guard to cost us the entire load.
The railroad commission will, at my request, run an emergency drill, effectively creating a massive diversion in which the state of Texas will officially vacate the populace and shut down security on the rail for three hours, allowing a certain train to move freely and undetected between our countries, delivering all the product the cartel ever wanted delivered to the U.
S.
in one trip.
And you are being so helpful because ? Because I want my wife and stepdaughter back.
If I did that, I would have no leverage left.
What would stop you from trying to undo our takeover of your company? We already tried.
And all our best leads wound up being dead.
So, you can continue to hold the women if you want, or you can be smart and show your boss that you were the one who could amass a giant fortune in one night.
So, do we have a deal? Or do you have to call someone for approval? Yes.
We have a deal.
But you only get to take back one of our guests with you.
The girl or your wife?
He's going after the company himself.
- Is it done? - Ewing Global is officially ours.
We don't have any evidence to stop these people.
I think I know someone who can help.
But it's the last person I want to go to for a favor.
If you don't use your contacts to help me prove that the cartel was behind the takeover, I'll be forced to bring Candace out of hiding.
Once you take care of our Candace problem, I will agree to increase the amount of product running through the pipeline by 25%.
Those hands belong to your whore.
It's my gift to you to show you I'm a man of my word.
And this here is to make sure you keep yours.
Double the shipments immediately.
Or they're dead.
Sit down.
Sit down and don't move.
I'm sorry if your journey down was a bit rough.
But bringing you here was the only option I had to get Judith's attention.
You must be starving.
Can I get you something to drink or eat? Just water, please.
Where do you think we are? Mexico? South Texas? I don't know.
I am so sorry.
This is all my fault.
Let's stay strong, Emma.
Together, we're stronger than apart.
Have you accepted my demands? It's all set.
Our trucks are on their way south.
Promise me that you'll have all the border people paid off.
Now that we're doing this, I want it done as quickly as possible.
I can assure you, Judith, everyone involved in this transaction wants our product moved quickly.
Your loved ones, especially.
I'm keeping my end of the bargain, Luis, and I expect you to do the same because if something should happen to my granddaughter, trust me when I say you and everyone you love will die regretting it.
We'll be in touch, Judith.
If those trucks get stopped at the border and he does anything to hurt my Emma Listen to me.
Listen to me.
Listen to me.
Okay, we are doing exactly as they asked.
They need those trucks.
Why don't you go upstairs and lie down? Come on.
I'll have your medication sent up.
Look, I've got this under control.
You hear me? Mr.
Ryland, you have visitors.
Come on in.
Harris, I need your help to contact the CIA.
The cartel has taken over Ewing Global.
Ewing Global isn't the only thing they've taken.

We can't.
There's nothing we can do.

Emma.
Hmm? I'll be right back, okay? Where are you going? Just sit tight.
If there's a way out of here, I'm gonna try to find it.
Excuse me, señor? May I go to the washroom, please? Of course.
Diego will show you the way.
Un momento, por favor.
Hey.
After everything that happened, I never thought I'd see you anywhere near Southfork again.
Well, I guess you were wrong, because here I am.
Why are you here? My father's feud with the Ewings is over.
But mine is just beginning.
I'm staying here in this marriage until my idiot husband can figure out a way to get the company back.
And once he does, I'm gonna take him for everything he's worth.
Look, I know you hate me, and I don't blame you.
But we got to set our feudings aside, Pamela.
Ann and Emma have been kidnapped by the Mendez-Ochoa cartel.
Oh, my God.
The cartel asked Ryland to push more drugs through the pipeline in exchange for Ann and Emma's freedom.
Christopher's tracking down Nicolas, and I'm gonna try to broker a deal between the cartel and Nasir.
You think Nasir's gonna want to do business with you again? Your word means nothing to him.
You might be right.
But I have to try to convince him to trust me again.
Look, if I can get Nasir to lend me the money to buy the divisions the cartel's liquidating I may be able to make a deal for Ann and Emma's freedom.
Pamela, they are in danger.
I have to do something.
I could really use your help.
I need to unpack.
You shouldn't have come back to Mexico, Señor Ewing.
These parts have been very dangerous lately.
Rebels killing locals and tourists without discrimination.
Well, things have been very dangerous in Dallas as well, Señora Treviño.
That's why I'm here.
I know your husband's real name is Joaquin Reyes, and I know that he's in debt to the Mendez-Ochoa cartel.
The cartel threatened our family if my husband didn't repay his debt.
Nicolas is a good man.
He's a good father.
He was left with no other choice.
Would a good father who fears for his children's lives leave their side with things as dangerous as you have described? The cartel has already killed one man involved in the Ewing Global takeover and has kidnapped two of my family members.
I need to find Nicolas because I think that he can lead us to them.
Nicolas has run off with Elena Ramos.
Nicolas isn't putting your welfare at the top of his list.
He's holed up somewhere with Elena, and he won't come back for you, no matter what you tell yourself.
Please, let's help each other.
I'm sorry, Mr.
Ewing.
I'm not saying you're lying.
I just want to make sure he's getting my messages.
Look, what did he say when you told him I called? Well, I'm sorry you had to hear that type of language.
Here to beat up on me some more? Get in line.
I got people that hate me on every continent.
Was that Nasir? Yeah.
He hates me, just like you said.
But he doesn't hate me.
What are you saying? You and Emma It killed me, John Ross.
I believed in both of you.
But Ann I'll do anything to help her.
Even if it means helping you.
Lucia? Is everything all right with the boys? Yes, as all right as things can be with you away.
Where are you, Nicolas? I can't tell you that.
You know it wouldn't be safe for you and the boys to know where I am.
A bomb went off on the city bus today.
Eight people were killed.
I just don't feel safe here without you.
I've even stopped sending the kids to school.
When are you coming home? I'm sending a plane for you and the boys immediately.
I want you to go back to the Costa Azul until this is over.
Orestes has possession of Ewing Global.
Your debt is paid.
What more does he want? Things have gotten complicated.
Christopher Ewing was here looking for you.
He knows your real name.
He knows about your debt to the cartel.
And he said that you and Elena were together.
No, Christopher is manipulating you to get you to tell him where I am.
Elena is in a hotel in Dallas.
If Orestes finds me, I don't want Elena hurt anymore than I want you and the boys hurt.
Now, may I speak with my sons? They're with the tutor.
I'll have them call you when they're done.
I know I lied.
I told her you weren't with me, but for good reason.
Lucia is a jealous and impulsive woman.
The last thing I need right now is for her to do something rash or stupid.
Be with your family, protect them.
It's too late for me and Lucia.
For now, I just need her and the boys to be safe.
I'm protecting them by making sure my debt is fully paid.
I love you, Elena.
And I hope someday you'll be able to forgive me For all the terrible things I've done.
A proper drink for a proper lady.
So You were married to Harris Ryland.
Yes.
A long time ago.
Hmm.
Well, I don't see him deserving you.
Perhaps he was more handsome with hair.
Ah.
Excuse me.
Sí.
Dígame.
¿Qué? Imaldita sea! No! No! No, please! Stop! No! - No! What happened? - No! No! No! Stop! Leave her alone! Leave her alone! Don't! Mom! Emma! Emma! Hello, Luis.
I just got a call from one of my men.
It seems your trucks have been stopped at the border.
Did you not think I was serious about my threat? This is exactly what I was worried about in the first place.
Moving more trucks across the border always meant more risk.
I warned you this could happen.
But I can fix it, if you'll just give me a little more time.
And I warned you what would happen if you didn't do exactly as I asked.
Say hello to your grandma.
I'm sorry, grandma.
This is it's all my fault.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, God, please don't do that.
I only need one hostage.
And at this moment, I have two.
Please don't do this.
Aah! Emma! Emma! Damn you! Damn you! No! Habla con tu abuela.
I I'm okay.
Oh! I'm okay.
Oh! I want you to think about the emotion you just felt.
And then imagine feeling it every day for the rest of your life.
You have one day to get the trucks moving.
She's okay.
Oh, my God.
Oh! I thought I lost you.
It's okay.
It's okay.
We're gonna be okay.
It's okay.
Shh.
That's what they thought, too.
Senator, we're talking about my wife and my stepdaughter, two Americans who are in trouble because the CIA is doing business with the cartel.
The government created this mess.
The government should clean it up now, before innocent lives are lost.
I wish there was something I could do, Bobby, but our government is weighing the lives of two citizens against the security of an entire nation.
I know there's something you can do, Joe.
You're a United States senator, for God's sake.
I'll talk to my colleagues on the intelligence committee.
But other than that, my hands are tied.
The longer they're there, they Things are escalating, Sue Ellen.
Look at this.
Riots broke out again today in the streets of Mexico City in response to the murder of yet another federal magistrate.
Many believe the killings are part of a plan by the Mendez-Ochoa cartel to consolidate power in their bid to influence the upcoming presidential election.
I should be doing more.
My sister-in-law, Sue Ellen Ewing, made me aware of a near breach of one of our gas pipelines.
Leaks happen almost every day.
Even with expedited repairs, an explosion could happen at any time.
With so many lives at risk in South Texas, I'm proposing we do something about it now.
Well, there is no doubt that gas-pipeline safety is an important part of the railroad commission's purview, but the emergency drill that you're proposing, Bobby, would involve large-scale evacuations.
We would have to clear train tracks for miles on both sides of the border.
I'm aware of that.
Tests like that don't come cheap, especially on such short notice.
And I'm aware of that.
But cost and inconvenience is a small price to pay for human lives.
That's why I'm proposing we do this emergency training exercise with our Mexican counterparts so that crews on both sides of the border can be well-prepared in case of a gas-pipeline leak.
It's that simple.
I'm gonna step outside.
You two discuss it, and then, uh, we'll take it to a vote.
How did it go? Well, I'm counting on their instinct for self-preservation to guide their conscience.
You do realize what will happen if you get caught.
Well, since I don't have immunity from the CIA and I'm going against their wishes to bring a trainload of drugs across the border, I'm guessing there'll be a little jail time.
Federal prison.
For the rest of your life.
If it helps bring Ann and Emma back, it's worth every day of it.
The last time you were here, Mr.
and Mrs.
Ewing, you assured me and my father that you would make good on J.
R.
's pledge to include our family in your plans for the Arctic leases, leases that we are not allowed to bid on as foreigners.
And once again, the Ewings failed to make good on their word.
My husband failed to make good on his word.
I was raised to believe that a wife should support her husband.
I was here last time as just that, a wife.
But today I'm here as a businesswoman, your highness, and my word is my bond.
That is the only reason I agreed to this meeting, Mrs.
Ewing, because I take you as a woman of integrity, a word foreign to your husband.
Nobody knows that better than I do.
When I married, half of everything I owned became my husband's, including my shares in Barnes global, the company my father founded.
Indeed.
It was your dowry.
I trusted my husband when he assured me that we would have controlling interest in the company.
But, instead, he lost it all, his family's legacy and mine.
Dishonorable and inept, a most unfortunate combination in a businessman.
I'm here, your highness, because I believe that my family's loss might be your family's gain.
How so? The Mendez-Ochoa cartel bought the shares of Ewing Global with drug money.
Now they're selling off all the divisions at 70 cents on the dollar.
These are blue-chip divisions we're talking about timber, mining, media, insurance.
If we were to offer, say, I believe we'd be able to buy it all back in one fell swoop.
Why would I lend you an exorbitant amount of money to get in business with criminals? Because the methane technology is among the assets Ewing Global has for sale.
Once we buy them back, I'll be able to bid on the Arctic leases off the Alaskan coast, as only an American company can.
Seeing as your family's reserves are gonna be dry within five years, I have a feeling you're gonna be thirsty for that sweet Arctic crude.
I'm intrigued, of course, but skeptical.
I've been burned by the Ewings before.
But never by a Barnes.
I find your loyalty to your family admirable, Mrs.
Ewing.
Ms.
Barnes.
Better yet, Pamela.
You don't have much time, Your Highness.
A day maybe.
Nasir, Pamela.
I hear sincerity in your voice, and I see integrity in your eyes.
I will speak to my father right away and let you know what we decide.
I'm not sure exactly how you pulled it off, Ewing, but you're a lucky man to have such a wife.
Arriba.
Gracias.
Someone will meet you at the landing strip and take you to Luis.
I told him you would solve our transit problem.
Emma is all I have.
Thank you.
That's how I feel about Ann.
Bring them home safe.
We have a deal.
The sheik has agreed to give us the loan.
Thank you for pulling off the impossible, Pamela.
You're amazing.
I did it for Ann.
And I did it for my legacy.
Nothing's changed between us, John Ross.
I'm surprised to hear you were at the gate.
After this morning In Latin America, the family means everything, Mr.
Ewing.
Nothing can be allowed to interfere with the sanctity of the family.
Even infidelity can't tarnish that sanctity.
So, we give our husbands room to indulge their impulses, with the unspoken understanding that our loyalty ends the moment the family becomes subservient to the mistress.
My family has been threatened, and my husband has made a choice to break our family.
Do you know where he is? Yes.
I know more about my husband than he realizes.
Do you think that daddy will move the trucks in time? Your father will do everything in his power to save us.
I know that.
Ann, would you like to join me for dinner? Do I have a choice? Not really.
Sit down.
Please, eat.
I'm glad you like it.
My secret is using the freshest ingredients.
The boy from the farm down the road brings me fresh vegetables every day.
Sometimes I let him sample my cooking.
Of course, I'm not the cook El Pozolero is.
But I can make a few dishes like this pozole, a hearty Mexican stew.
I believe I've lost my appetite.
Oh, you must've heard about my boss, El Pozolero, and how he got his nickname.
Dissolving the remains of his victims in a stew of acid.
Ahh.
An exaggeration, I can assure you.
Emma and I are your hostages.
We're already at your mercy.
Do you need to terrorize us, too? I'm sorry.
It's not my intention to terrorize you.
I'm simply trying to make the best of a difficult situation.
Well, you have a sick way of doing it.
Forgive me.
I've never had the privilege of an education or proper upbringing.
You're a beautiful woman.
Harris Ryland is a bigger fool than I thought for letting you get away.
Bobby Ewing is here.
Excuse me.
You understand that requesting to meet with me and coming here alone, you've put yourself at my mercy.
Well, you seem like a nice enough fella.
Here.
I brought you something.
"Railroads move the nation.
" I can arrange one time only for you to move as much product as you want, much more than a fleet of Ryland trucks can accommodate, between Mexico and the U.
S.
by rail.
And what makes you think that your train would fare better than our trucks at the border? The odds are worse.
One train only needs one nosy border patrol guard to cost us the entire load.
The railroad commission will, at my request, run an emergency drill, effectively creating a massive diversion in which the state of Texas will officially vacate the populace and shut down security on the rail for three hours, allowing a certain train to move freely and undetected between our countries, delivering all the product the cartel ever wanted delivered to the U.
S.
in one trip.
And you are being so helpful because ? Because I want my wife and stepdaughter back.
If I did that, I would have no leverage left.
What would stop you from trying to undo our takeover of your company? We already tried.
And all our best leads wound up being dead.
So, you can continue to hold the women if you want, or you can be smart and show your boss that you were the one who could amass a giant fortune in one night.
So, do we have a deal? Or do you have to call someone for approval? Yes.
We have a deal.
But you only get to take back one of our guests with you.
The girl or your wife?
