Dallas (2012) s03e14 Episode Script

Endgame

- Previously on Dallas - Suicide - No.
Andres would never take his own life.
His St.
Christopher medal, It's not here.
My son never took it off.
I'm your family.
I love you.
You are my destiny.
- We've already got a deal in place.
- Well, that was with my son.
Every day your cocaine pipeline is shut down it costs you millions.
Hunter? 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.
I'll call Langley, ask if we can accelerate a move against the cartel.
But I don't think the Mexican authorities will authorize a move unless it gets them El Pozolero.
You used me to pay your debt to the Mendez-Ochoa cartel.
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.
Nicolas has run off with Elena Ramos.
Do you know where he is? Yes.
The Mendez-Ochoa cartel bought the shares of Ewing Global.
Now they're selling off all the divisions at 70¢ on the dollar.
If we were to offer, I believe we'd be able to buy all back in one fell swoop.
I can arrange, one time only, For you to move as much product as you want, between Mexico and the U.
S.
By rail.
We have a deal.
But you only get to take back one of our guests with you.
Your choice.
- The girl or your wife.
- It's okay.
No.
You release Ann and Emma or there's no deal.
The time for negotiating, Mr.
Ewing has passed.
I don't envy you.
It is a difficult choice.
I would not want to leave such beautiful women in the company of these men.
Emma.
Not as difficult a choice as I thought it would be.
When I hear that the train with our product has made it over the border, I will call you with instructions on where to pick up Emma.
And you'll release Ann the minute you sell off the necessary Ewing Global divisions.
Will be my pleasure.
I'm trusting you to be an honorable man, and to tell the animals around you, to deliver my wife and stepdaughter to me unharmed.
If anything were to happen to either one of them while they're in your care, I will make it my life's work to track down everyone responsible.
How did you sleep? I didn't.
Elena, I know now that the only way I can make you feel safe again is for me to go back and to turn myself in.
To take down the cartel.
You're a loose end, you said it yourself.
The cartel kills loose ends.
That's a chance I'm willing to take.
To prove to you I'm the man you thought I was.
I made a mistake getting involved with the cartel, I know that.
And I thought I could live with it.
But I can't live with you hating me.
Stay here.
Nicolas, what's going on? - Wait, is that the cartel? - Take this.
Lock yourself in the back bedroom, if anyone but me tries to get in shoot them.
US Marshals! Search warrant! US Marshals.
- Okay, okay, I'm giving myself up.
- Hands in the air.
Show me your hands.
Get down on the ground.
Check the back.
Find Ramos.
US Marshals, we have a search warrant.
Elena Ramos if you're here come out.
Elena Ramos show yourself.
- US Marshals.
- I'm coming out.
# You have no idea who Nicolas really is.
He's the money man for the Mendez-Ochoa Cartel, he stole Ewing Global to pay back his debt to them.
He told me everything a couple of days ago.
You knew who he was and what he'd done and you still stayed with him? He said we were in grave danger until he sold off all the divisions of Ewing Global.
He tell you about the kidnapping of Ann Ewing and Emma Ryland? What? No.
No.
Tell us what the hell you've done with Ann and Emma? Joaquin, do you know anything about the kidnapping? No.
For this emergency drill we'll be using this compressor station as the site of the reported gas leak.
All right.
We've never had a railroad commissioner come and watch a test.
Well, we all think you all do such good work, that we should show you a little support.
The surrounding areas have been evacuated.
Both sides of the border.
Railroad tracks have been cleared of all freight cars.
There's nothing human for ten square miles.
Thanks, Jimmy.
Well, let's start it.
Start the drill.
I repeat, start the drill.
All right, the test has started.
You've got three hours of clear track to get the train across the border.
Good.
Shortly you will receive directions where to wait.
Once the product has arrived, you will be told where to pick up the hostage.
- Is that the last of the barrels? - Yes.
Okay.
Time to go.
Well, the train got through safe.
You're sure every truck we're loading with drugs has a transponder for tracking it? Are all your trucks ready? Absolutely.
Emma? Emma it's me, it's Bobby.
Oh, my God.
I told them to take her! I begged them, but they wouldn't listen! Here.
Here.
It's all right.
You're all right.
- We have to save her - We'll save her.
You are all right.
Oh, God.
We will save her.
It's Bobby.
Did you get Emma? I asked for Emma, but they released Ann.
Luis is playing some kind of sick game.
We're headed back to Southfork now.
Give me the phone, I wanna talk to my granddaughter Call him back, right now.
I want to talk to Emma.
They didn't give Emma back.
They released Ann.
He saved that bitch wife of his! He betrayed us.
No, no Judith, he said that Luis was playing some sick game.
Bobby asked for Emma, he knew that's what Ann would want.
Let's go.
Come on.
Let's go home.
- I got it decoded.
- What's on it? Ryland's CIA file, and bank account numbers.
Apparently, Ryland's CIA handler, George, had a slush fund he was using to run illegal black ops with private contractors down south.
That's good news.
Why is that your bad news face? When I went to trace the accounts back to their origin, all the evidence of the accounts the handler was using were gone.
There was nothing left but that.
Names and contact numbers.
It's the private contractors the handler were using.
Pretty serious operators too, all of them ex-Navy Seal and Delta Force guys.
I've got a job for them.
Hop in.
How can I help you, Mr.
Ewing? I heard you did some work down in Mexico with my friend George Tatangelo.
I'd like to hire you to help me with a problem down there.
Never heard of him.
Of course.
I must have gotten the name wrong.
All those CIA agents look so much alike.
Maybe the name was Mr.
Franklin.
Well, Mr.
Franklin is one of our best clients.
Tell me about your problem.
In the next couple of days, I'm going to get myself into a very bad situation.
I'd like you to come get me out of it.
I don't smoke.
Well, you're going to start.
It's got a GPS transmitter in it.
That's how we're going to track you.
When you're ready for us to hit the house, just light it, and it'll send a signal.
What if this thing doesn't work? Then you probably die.
You were in there a while.
What did the CIA want to know? Christopher, I know that you're so angry at me, but you have to believe that I knew nothing about Nicolas' connection to Mendez-Ochoa until he told me, I swear to you.
I am so sorry for my part in all of this.
I thought that once I got justice for my father, that I would feel better.
But once I stopped feeling angry, all I felt was empty.
Look, I get that you were angry.
You can't change what happened but I guess it's all just water under the bridge now.
There are no bridges left.
I burned them all.
Not all of them.
We just finished debriefing Mr.
Treviño.
He's willing to help us capture Mendez-Ochoa by setting a meeting.
And you're going to give him immunity from prosecution, right? That's how these things work.
Everyone, look who's back.
Oh, I'm so glad you're home.
Are you thirsty? Hungry? What can I get you? Oh, a big glass of bourbon.
Sure thing.
We're gonna get Emma back safe and sound, don't you worry.
I'm really glad you're okay.
Hey.
You should go sit down.
I got this, Mama.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Nicolas agreed to help the CIA find Mendez-Ochoa.
He'll set a meeting with Mendez-Ochoa.
Hopefully he'll direct us to Luis and Emma.
Once they get there, the CIA says they'll take everyone down at once.
How long is that going to take? One wrong move and Luis could kill her.
This Mendez-Ochoa is a ghost.
Why would he come out of hiding to have a meeting with Nicolas? Well, apparently he is like a son to this monster.
Why the hell should we trust Nicolas? He could tip this guy off.
This is probably just his attempt to get into Mexico to make an escape.
Look, we need to make our own move to save Emma.
I have a play I've working on John Ross, no.
There's no freelancing here.
There's too much at stake.
You said yourself you don't trust the CIA.
This is my daughter.
She's more important to me than anything on this earth.
This is what the CIA does.
I say we let them do it.
- Okay.
- Okay.
The big hero coming to Emma's rescue.
It's laughable, you pretending you're trying to save her for some noble reason, when we both know that the "deal" you've been working on is using Nasir's loan to steal back Ewing Global.
Oh my God.
Have you actually convinced yourself you're doing it for her? You know me better than that.
The only person I've ever cared about, is me.
Hey, what are you doing? It is a way for me to learn English better.
But, I get stuck.
Maybe I can help.
Eight letter word for extremely hungry.
Ravenous.
Fernando! Perhaps I haven't made this clear enough.
- I despise you.
- I can save Emma.
You've done nothing but cause my granddaughter pain.
Why would I ever trust you to help her? Because you're right, I have hurt her.
I've been a double-dealing, amoral, selfish piece of crap.
On your best day.
But I'm also the only one that'll tell you the truth.
And when I do you'll understand why I'm the only one that can save Emma.
What are you talking about? Your son is an operative who's been working for the CIA to take down the Mendez-Ochoa Drug Cartel for years.
If he had never gotten involved with the cartel, Emma would have never been a target.
You get me a meeting with Luis, I can save Emma.
Don't go.
I get so lonely down here.
I think it's, um, cool that you're learning English.
Although Spanish is, much sexier.
I know a few things.
- Do you wanna hear? - Okay.
You have to tell me what I'm saying, so I know if I'm saying it right.
What'd I say? You say "I will do anything you want.
" Mm-hm.
"I am a pris Pris - Prisoner of your love.
" - Mm-hm.
- You say,"Please - Mm-hm.
help me drink this dress.
" Teach me.
- Hello Nicolas.
It's been awhile - Too long, Don Orestes.
I wouldn't be bothering you, but we need to speak in person.
And why is that? Are you in some sort of trouble? I'm fine.
I'm just concerned about Luis.
Concerned in what way? I worked very hard for you to take back Mexico.
Our plan is days away from completion, but Luis may have put everything in jeopardy.
I just found out he kidnapped two Americans.
Did you know of this? Why is this your concern? All three of us, need to be working together from now on for our plan to succeed.
We need to get together to make sure we are not working at cross-purposes from this point on.
I'll be in touch.
Do you think he bought that? I don't know.
This guy didn't get where he is by trusting anybody.
Can I use the bathroom? Okay.
Hey, hey nino, muchacho! I know that you took my pencil, but I say nothing.
Do you know why? Why? Because I like you and I think that maybe, you like me too.
I do.
I can maybe get your note to somebody who can help you.
What can you do for me? Get out, Fernando.
I said Fernando.
Poor Fernando.
He has no idea you've been playing him the whole time.
It looks like you're having problems with the buttons.
Perhaps I can help.
Welcome to Mexico.
Lately, it seems my country has become quite the popular destination for the Ewings.
I want to see Emma.
I'm sure you do.
What is this "fantastic deal" that Judith mentioned you have for me? Nicolas Treviño is trying to sell off parts of Ewing Global to various companies at 70¢ on the dollar.
But I guess he's having a hard time, 'cause the rumor is he's in business with drug dealers.
That tends to scare away most Fortune 500 companies.
But since I've been blessed with a more flexible morality, I'm willing to buy all of those divisions back for more.
I'm sorry, I don't know this Nicolas you speak of.
Let me help you.
He's the guy that lost you $600 million and stole our company to pay you back.
We're slow, but we do figure things out.
I'm not a businessman.
Why bring this to me? You're right, that's Nicolas' job.
But I gotta tell you, being a businessman for the cartel pays a hell of a lot more than your job.
He wears $5,000 suits, drives a $100,000 car, he's got a penthouse in Dallas.
While you, you are here, in this shithole doing all the dirty work kidnapping people.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
I brought you this deal because Nicolas gets all the glory and I think you're the one who deserves it.
You're an under-appreciated asset.
I know what that's like.
In my family, I've got to do all the difficult things, the things that my cousin Christopher doesn't have the stomach for.
Yet, Christopher still gets to be the golden boy, reaping the benefits of what I do and never having to pay the price.
You can bring a deal for more money to your boss directly.
And in return, all I want is Emma.
How can I help you, Luis? I've found a way to sell off all the divisions of Ewing Global at once.
That's Nicolas' job.
Yes, but I can make us millions more Did you kidnap two Americans? Who told you that? Nicolas.
He's trying to create problems between us.
Can I explain? In good time.
We do indeed need to talk about Luis.
We will meet you at our usual place.
It will be good to see you again, Nicolas.
Thank you, Don Orestes.
Are you're sure you can convince Mendez-Ochoa to take you to the house where Luis is holding Emma? I've created conflict between Luis and me.
Orestes is too close to buying control of the Mexican elections to allow anything to interfere.
My friend George here has made me a promise that he's bound by law not to say out loud.
Now If you double-cross us, or if any harm comes to Emma because of anything you do, the second-to-last-thing that goes through your mind will be this warning.
Because the last thing will be a sniper's bullet.
Thank you for coming, Elena.
What do you want, Nicolas? I know that whatever love you once felt for me is gone, destroyed by my own hands.
But I hope, someday, when you think about me, you'll remember the man who deserved that love.
My God.
- You okay? - I've been better.
My boss has agreed to the deal.
When the money from the Ewing Global sale is in our account, you two are free to go.
No.
No, she goes now.
Once I know she's safely back at Southfork, I'll transfer the money.
I stay, she goes.
Otherwise no deal.
Fine.
I was done with her anyways.
Thank you.
They'll kill you.
People may die in this house, but it ain't gonna be me.
Enough.
The faster she's in Dallas, the faster the deal can be settled.
Take this with you.
We'll be calling you soon.
Meeting in a parking garage.
This guy's smart, he's not taking any chances.
- Why? Why do you say that? - Neutralizes our drone.
- Any sign of the target? - Nothing so far.
What if this is just a ploy for Nicolas to get away? - He's not going to run.
- How can you be sure about that? He thinks if he saves Emma he can win Elena's love back.
All units, stand by.
We have five vehicles approaching contact.
Five? Why so many? They're trying to confuse us.
Contact is on the move.
Lost visual on contact.
- I can't tell what van he's in.
- What the hell's going on now? Well, do you have enough chase cars to follow five vans? Doors are closing.
Vehicles are on the move.
You can't lose him.
You have to save Emma.
Talk to me agent.
Where's the contact? I'm looking.
- Thermal imaging is negative.
- They're leaving! We're okay.
We can still track Treviño's phone.
Oh, no.
Our contact's phone isn't moving.
What's that on the ground? Zoom in camera one.
That's Nicolas' phone.
Get the perimeter cars to the garage exit.
Now! Our time together has treated you well hermanito The hungry boy has become a satisfied man.
Thanks to you, I'm no longer the street rat you took in as a boy.
I must admit I'm a little confused by your sudden interest in working with Luis in the future.
You'd made it clear you wanted out after the Ewing Global takeover.
As you said I've become a man.
A man who understands the value of real power.
The power you'll wield when you own the new President of Mexico.
I'm so very glad to hear that.
I don't need any help.
I know my way in.
Emma.
Emma.
Oh, my God! Are you all right? I'm okay.
- How did you escape? - I didn't.
John Ross traded himself for me.
John Ross is in Mexico? Why didn't he tell us? He thought you'd try to stop him.
Apparently you had a different plan to save Emma.
Well, you must be George from the CIA.
It's so nice to meet one of my son's work friends.
Hello? Yeah, I'm okay.
Thank you.
He wants to talk to you.
It's John Ross.
He wants to know that I'm safe back at Southfork.
John Ross, we lost Nicolas.
I hope to hell you know what you're doing.
Me too.
Transfer the money.
I was so scared.
Well, if it isn't Emma's hero.
Just transfer Nasir's money.
You know, dying for her doesn't make you heroic.
It makes you stupid.
Look, once the deal goes through, it'll make us the sole owners of Ewing Global.
Make the transfer.
Is there a problem? All good.
Don Orestes.
I wish I would have known you were coming.
I would have prepared you a special feast.
This is not a social call.
Sit.
Lately I have become a sentimental man.
Time has revealed the curse of aging is not illness, but nostalgia.
That is why this brings me such pain.
You're both like sons to me.
Two very different sons, with very different skills.
In the past those skills complemented each other.
That's no longer the case.
The money I generated has kept your empire funded.
I have done this quietly, with intelligence and self-discipline that puts nothing at risk.
Nothing at risk? You lost $600 million of our money.
Which I more than made up for with the Ewing Global takeover.
Luis, on the other hand, has taken American hostages.
In fact, he's probably killed them already.
Fernando.
Who let this scumbag in? These hostages, as you call them, they serve a purpose.
With the women, I was able to get our product across the border.
And they were returned safely.
Using this boy, I was able to sell off all of Ewing Global at once for more money than you were asking for.
Don Orestes I have proven that I can do business better than him.
The difference between us, Nicolas, is you don't have the stomach to do the difficult things.
I do.
The fact that you're so eager to kill an American proves my point.
Orestes, to get you what you want, you need a businessman by your side, not a criminal.
You have become confused about who we are, Nicolas.
We are not businessmen who commit crimes.
We are criminals who do business.
But this confusion is not your fault, it is mine.
I coddled you.
I never asked you to get your hands dirty.
I did what you asked.
Murder is a wonderful bonding experience, Nicolas.
It proves to me that you are truly committed to our future together.
Give me the gun.
You don't have the balls.
This piece of shit violated the one true love of my life.
He got her drunk and degraded her.
Drop when I say drop.
Enough talk, Nicolas.
Time for somebody to die.
Sue Ellen, no gun-toting terrorist has ever gotten the best of a Ewing yet.
It's not gonna start today.
Luckily, John Ross' heart is too small for a bullet to find it.
Hands! Let me see your hands! Not so tough now, are you? You regret what you did to her now? Huh?! John Ross! Give me the gun.
Come on.
The Mexican marines are on their way.
# Go ahead.
I'll open it now.
Black ops team rescued John Ross at approximately 8:42 this evening.
- He's unharmed.
- Oh, thank God! Mexican marines are on the scene.
El Pozolero and Luis have been apprehended.
What about Nicolas? He's in custody, en route back to Dallas with John Ross.
And Ewing Global? You actually ran into some good fortune there.
Cartel was in the midst of selling off the divisions when the raid happened.
Their assets were frozen, and the 52% of Ewing Global that they owned was seized by the U.
S.
Government.
So, we'll get our shares back? The Treasury department holds the title to those shares now, but they'll be auctioning them off soon.
The important thing is that this is over.
George.
Just so we're clear, I'm done working for you people.
I still intend to honor our deal, Harris.
I keep that tape recorder very handy.
Say the word, and I'll have her arrested for trafficking drugs with the Mendez-Ochoa Cartel.
You'll never have to deal with your mother again.
It's time the Rylands try to learn how to coexist.
Peacefully.
But you send me back that recording as insurance.
'Cause you and I both know peace in this world is often short-lived.
That was so stupid, John Ross.
You could have been killed.
Way I see it, mama, after all the bad I've done, it's about time I do something on the side of right.
John Ross.
I'm glad you're okay.
Well done, young man.
Thank you, John Ross.
Thank you.
Hey.
I tried to get you justice, Emma.
I want to apologize for all of the terrible things that I've done.
If I could take it all back, I would.
But I can't.
I'm sorry.
I know.
- Can I have a minute? - Just one.
I just wanted to make sure you're okay.
I would have gladly sacrificed myself if it made you believe I was telling the truth.
Please don't, Joaquin, I've heard so many stories in the past couple of days, my head is spinning.
It's time to get started.
Time for me to enlighten the authorities with 19 years of El Pozolero stories.
If I can explain it all to them, give me one last chance to explain it to you so your head can stop spinning.
When I'm done here tonight, have dinner with me, please.
The penthouse.
If you're not satisfied with my explanation, you never have to see me again, I promise.
Okay.
You're gonna have dinner with him? Elena, I know you want to figure things out, but he is a bad guy.
He's just gonna try to fill your head with lies and manipulate you again.
I wish it were that simple, Christopher.
I made my own choices.
Where is Nicolas Treviño now? I knew he was a traitor.
You should have let me kill that rat when I had the chance.
This is a setback we will endure, Luis.
May I remind you not all of my sons have fallen to the authorities? The sons who remain in Mexico will hunt our enemies down.
Within the week, Nicolas Treviño will choke on a stew made from the flesh of his loved ones, as well as the Ewings who betrayed us.
Well? Ann decided to take a well-deserved rest.
And I thought I'd go home, do the same.
Good.
- Enjoy the peace while it lasts.
- Really, Sue Ellen? In this family? Sue Ellen I spoke with Carlos Del Sol this morning.
He One second.
- Hi.
- Tracey.
What's wrong? Come in.
Come in.
Thank you.
Sue Ellen.
How dare you show your face in this home after what your nephew did to my family and your father did to J.
R.
Sue Ellen.
Why don't we talk about my phone call with Carlos another time.
Come on in.
Sit down.
Thank you for pulling Sue Ellen off me.
Normally, I think I could take her, but not today.
Well, if I recall, you knocked out a linebacker in the bar the first night I met you, so I think even on an off day, you could probably take her.
See, this is why I came here.
You always did make me feel better.
I keep thinking about Hunter.
You're the only one I thought would understand.
I knew my father had poisoned him against your family, and I just I should have done more to help him Hey, wait a minute.
Hunter made his own choices, plain and simple.
I feel like I'm reliving my brother's death over again with Hunter's but, I don't know what to do Hey, hey, hey Tracey, it's all right.
It's all right.
Bobby? Ann, this is Tracey, Hunter McKay's aunt.
Tracey, my wife, Ann.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Oh, it's It's really great to meet Bobby's latest wife.
Trust me when I tell you taking a walk down memory lane with your wife and your ex-girlfriend is not as fun as it sounds.
Miller Lite? Thank you, doctor.
Derrick.
Come in.
What's going on? The medical examiner, he got new test results back from Drew's autopsy.
The samples they sent out that took a while to get back.
Evidence they took off of Drew's boot.
There's residue from drilling wastewater on the sole, but no dirt from where they found him.
They think he was killed somewhere else and his body was moved.
They finally opened up a murder investigation.
I got to tell Elena about this.
Joaquin? Brought back everything we left at the lake house.
which began with a raid in Nuevo Laredo yesterday evening.
While more than 80 cartel members, including the elusive Pozolero, had been brought into Mexican custody, many cartel members remain at large.
Son of a bitch.
Bum, what is it? You had me put a tracer in Elena's phone when you were looking for her.
She just turned it on, at Museum Tower.
Thanks, Bum.
- Hello? - You found your phone.
Yeah.
Nicolas had it.
Drew was murdered, Elena, along with Hunter McKay.
I read a file from the sheriff's department.
They found wastewater on Drew's shoes.
Same wastewater that the cartel uses to smuggle their cocaine.
Christopher, what are you saying? Are you saying the cartel murdered my brother? I'm telling you that Hunter's death, and Drew's death, are connected.
I'm on my way to you right now.
Elena? Are you still there? Elena, what's wrong? It's Nicolas.
He's here.
Elena? Elena! You came.
Guess we can thank St.
Christopher for protecting you through all of this.
I told you, I never take it off.
Me neither.
And neither did Drew.
But when they found him after he killed himself, he wasn't wearing it.
And his body had been moved! I wanted to spare you.
My men were looking for Drew all that day.
Remember? When they found him, it was too late.
He had already set fire to Southfork and taken his own life.
I wanted to protect you, and your mother from being complicit in that fire, Ellie.
So yes, my men moved him to protect you.
And I took the medal because suicide is a sin.
- I was trying to save Drew's soul.
- No! Drew found out about the deed switch from me.
He was going to expose the cartel's lies, your lies.
You killed him! Can I help you? I'm going up to the penthouse, Nicolas Treviño.
Mr.
Treviño asked not to be disturbed.
So how about we don't disturb him? Listen to me.
I didn't kill Andres.
He was my brother! - You liar! - Don't do this.
Elena, you said it yourself.
You're not seeing straight.
Okay, if what you say is true and the police think Drew was murdered by the cartel, then it's not just me.
It's both of us.
We were in a conspiracy together to extort the Ewings.
That means we're implicated in what happened to Drew too.
- We could both go to jail - You think I care about that? You killed my brother! You have to pay for what you did! We both have to pay! No.
I have resources, a plane.
I can get us out of Dallas.
Let me protect you.
Come on.
Come on! Come with me, Ellie.
I didn't kill Drew.
I'll never tell anyone you did this.
- I'll be back for you.
- Elena! What did I do? Elena? Oh, my God.
What did I do? I'll take care of it.
Okay? I'll take care of all of it.
Harris? I just came to tell you I was leaving.
How was your visit with Emma? She doing any better? A little.
She still won't talk about what happened after they let me go.
I'm glad you're all right, Annie.
When Bobby brought you back out to Southfork the other day I wanted to hold you, tell you how relieved I was that you were safe.
But I couldn't.
- I love you, Annie - Oh, Harris Please, let me speak.
Now, I know that everything that's happened between us is my fault, and I'm sorry, but I cannot help but feel the way I feel about you and I think you feel it, too.
When we kissed the night of the fire Lord, it was undeniable.
Look, Harris I am glad we're in a better place, and I'm glad you've changed.
You're a better man than I thought you were.
But I'm married.
I love Bobby.
And I need to figure out how to make that work.
I'm sorry.
Nothing's gonna come of this.
Don't tell me you're one who doesn't like to look a gift horse in the mouth, John Ross.
Come sit by me.
Company of a young man always makes me feel better, especially a man who's been brave, like you.
Go ahead.
Open it.
It's not a bomb.
It's a gesture to show how much I appreciate what you did for my Emma.
And the digital files are also in the box.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way, Judith, but I've been to enough rodeos to know that a gesture like this usually involves strings.
No strings, John Ross.
Just a favor and a request.
I know something happened to Emma when she was held prisoner, by those animals.
She won't talk to me about it but I know.
I've seen the distant look that comes into the eyes of my girls at my establishment when they have been with violent and sadistic men.
I want you to be a friend to Emma.
Reach out to her, because I know she'll let you in.
What's the favor? Those black ops men you used in Mexico sometimes work for my son's CIA handler.
Yeah? So? I want you to find out everything Harris was up to with the CIA.
I asked the contractor if we could just repair the damage.
He said, "Absolutely not.
" Have to take it right down to the foundation, start all over again.
Sometimes it's best to start fresh.
I'm willing to do that with us, Bobby, if you are.
Mama had this card.
She had it in a frame.
Always kept it on her desk.
It said, "My friend is not perfect, nor am I, but we suit each other admirably.
" All clear! Hey.
I brought you your favorite What the hell? You think you can mess with my wife? Your wife, John Ross? No.
I haven't been your wife since I downed a bottle of pills.
I'm getting the business, John Ross.
Nasir is giving me the loan to buy the shares from the Treasury.
The officer in charge of the auction, I'm seeing him tomorrow to make a preemptive bid.
You have no money, so you have no play.
You're out of the game.
The shares will be put in a trust far from your reach, John Ross.
Pamela will be in control of your company.
Everything I gave up for you, I'm getting back.
And this is only the beginning.
You're right.
You're right back to being that same whore my cousin married.
Bobby? That won't be necessary, Pamela.
I'm about to take control of this company, Bobby.
I can do what I please, like change the name back to Barnes if I want to.
We're aware that you have a meeting with the Treasury department in a half an hour.
But the man you were supposed to meet has just left here.
We made a preemptive bid.
We bought the shares.
How the hell did you have the money for that? John Ross, Carlos Del Sol gave us a loan.
And when we explained to the man from Treasury the history of this company, The fact that you, and Pamela, and Cliff constantly vying for power, he understood that your mother and I would be the best choice to purchase those shares.
I'm sorry, Pamela, but we couldn't let you take control.
We did this for peace in this family.
You know, you can rationalize this move as "peace," as much as you want, but you're doing to me exactly what J.
R.
Tried to do to my father, and what Jock did to Digger.
And you're starting another war.
But at least they screwed you too.
Well, I guess I should congratulate y'all on winning.
Even if it means robbing me of my birthright.
This wasn't about winning, John Ross.
Bobby and I thought that this was for your own good, just like you did for me with the psychiatric hold.
Well, forgive me if I don't thank you for the intervention.
John Ross, Bobby just signed the papers.
Welcome to big oil.
I'm proud of you, son.
Hello? Walter, please tell me you got something I can use with Judith.
I think I got exactly what you're looking for.
Who would have thought a game like this could calm my nerves as much as Percocet? I've done some soul-searching since we last spoke, Judith, and I've decided I'd like to try and help Emma.
I also brought you this.
You asked me to find out what your son was up to with the CIA.
Turns out my friend dug up a juicy little nugget that you and I would have never expected.
It's a little tape recording your son was gonna use as leverage.
Now, I could have used this against you, Judith, but I think I would much rather have you as an ally instead.
Not just with Emma.
Oh.
You scratch my back and I scratch yours? I'm familiar.
Trust me.
You're gonna love this.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
We've already got a deal in place.
Well, that was with my son.
Every day your cocaine pipeline is shut down, it costs you millions.
Let's not quibble over crumbs.
How you doing? Like I said I've been better.
You sure you're gonna be okay, Emma? You ever known me to be otherwise? Yeah, I guess the girl I've gotten to know was pretty messed up.
- Well, takes one to know one.
- Two of a kind.
Would you want to ever grab coffee with me? You know what they say about soldiers when they come back after battle.
Only buddies that shared the same experience can understand each other.
Did you come to Mexico to save me, John Ross? Or was there some other reason? We've lied to each other enough, Emma.
I know I've lied to you about almost everything, which is why I want to tell you the truth now.
I was very, very upset and pissed off when I heard you'd been kidnapped.
And I wish I could say that I was a hero for you, but I went to Mexico for business.
My father was compiling blackmail on J.
R.
When J.
R.
Was murdered.
This arrived when my father was in jail.
I never showed you this, because I wanted to have leverage over you.
But I think you need to take a look at this now.
No more games.
Thank you for saving me, John Ross.
Thank you, Emma.
If you're listening to this, Harris, you know I figured out what you were planning to do to me.
I couldn't let you do it because I want us to turn over a new leaf, just like the new leaf I've turned over with that dear John Ross, who made this tape possible.
P.
S.
I forgive you.
I miss him.
Yeah, me too.
But I think I finally feel free of him.
Hell, I might even find love again.
- You deserve that, Sue Ellen.
- I agree.
I want you to be happy, mama.
I am so glad you came back, John Ross.
I just wanted to let you know that there are no hard feelings about what you did to me, and I wanted to let you know I'm sorry to hear that you had to resign as railroad commissioner to buy those shares.
Sad news, especially given all the environmental work you did with that lesser prairie chicken.
What are you up to, John Ross? See? Always suspicious of me, Uncle Bobby.
Guy could get a complex.
But since you ask, I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the new railroad commissioner.
You've got to be kidding.
It's no joke, Bobby.
The governor and I are old friends through some ladies he knows, and I've always had an eye toward public service.
So, when John Ross mentioned that the position opened, well, I jumped on it.
Now those Ryland ships that I procured for Ewing Global to drill the Arctic, they can only enter and exit through ports of Texas.
Ports that are regulated by the railroad commissioner.
So if you want to make a play for that Grand Frontier, you're gonna have to deal with me.
She means "us.
" Well, you can partner with the devil all you want to, boy.
It won't make any difference.
I'll always see it coming.
In a lifetime, your daddy never got the best of me.
And he was twice the opponent you'll ever be.
You see, that's just it, Uncle Bobby.
The last few months, no matter how much my old man I try to be, everybody keeps telling me, "You are just like your father.
" I've done some soul-searching, and I finally figured out the answer.
I am not just like my father.
I'm worse.
# I assume everything's taken care of.
All your enemies in Mexico are with God now, señor.
Do you need me back in Dallas? No.
That loose end will be taken care of by the end of the day.
And what about Elena Ramos? You told me that she was your destiny.
She is.
I worked very hard to ensure we would be bonded in a way we've never been bonded before.
She might not come back tomorrow, but within eight or nine months, is what I'm hoping.
Elena? I was getting a little worried in the car.
Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
Um With all the stress, I just got a little bit sick.
I'll be right out.
Okay.
I'll be in the car.
Christopher! Christopher! Christopher! No! Christopher! No! Hello, Bum.
John Ross, I'm looking at these papers you got from Emma.
I still can't believe it.
Well, I guess J.
R.
Had secrets he couldn't even trust to you.
And he's still saving your ass, from the grave.
Now, what do you want me to do about it? I want you to find her, Bum.
I want you to find my sister.
Thank you, daddy.
