Previously, on Killer Women D.
E.
A.
! Get out of the truck! From the D.
E.
A.
's point of view, He's an asset.
It's this or multiple felonies.
You know, gringo, you're starting to sound a lot like a narc.
No! No! - You satisfied? - No.
D.
E.
A.
! - I need to take off.
- You mean from me? You have to trust me on this.
You're a son of a bitch.
You know that? Bottom line, Billy, you can say no.
Go to trial.
Take your chances.
And if I say yes? All charges will be dropped.
Set it up.
- Oh, my God.
- All we found was her backpack.
This was pinned to it.
El diablo.
What the hell is going on? - I got to hear this.
- I'm real sorry about all this, officer.
So, you're saying your little girl isn't missing? No, no, no, no, no.
See, one of my ranch hands got tossed off his horse, broke his wrist, and I had to take him down to the E.
R.
Which ranch hand? And I called a neighbor.
I had her come pick up Lulu from swim practice and just plumb forgot to tell the wife.
What neighbor? Honey, why don't you go wait in the car? It's warmer in there.
Just give me a second with the officer, okay? Sir, have you been drinking today? No, sir, I have not.
So, your daughter's with a neighbor? Yeah.
She's safe and sound.
Billy's lying.
What's going on? Not here.
When I get home, I think the wife's gonna take my head.
Can't say as I blame her.
Yeah, it's not my finest hour.
That's for sure.
Where is Lulu? Well, anyway, like I said, I apologize, and I realize that you all have bigger crimes to solve, so thanks again.
Why don't you just get your family home, Mr.
Parker? Will do.
Appreciate it.
Ranger.
We got to go.
- What the hell is going on? - Just get in the car.
Call Hailee.
Tell her to lock all the doors and windows.
Don't let - anybody in the house.
- Dan, you tell me right now.
- What?! - Get in the car, Becca.
- Where is our daughter? - Just call Hailee! You tell me right now.
Where is my niece? Look, I don't know.
But best guess is she's been kidnapped by the Laredo cartel.
Slow down, Molly.
You son of a bitch.
What did you get my brother into? Oh! Look, slow down, Damn it.
He got himself into it.
I caught him smuggling drugs for the cartel.
My brother? I arrested him two weeks ago.
That's not possible.
He was hauling stashed inside live cattle.
No.
Look, Molly, I'm not making this up.
It happened.
And now the cartel thinks that Billy's holding back one of their shipments, and that's why Lulu was taken.
Is he Hold ing back their drugs? Yes, the shipment he was hauling when I arrested him.
So, the D.
E.
A.
seized it, and now the cartel is seeking retribution against my family? Why do you think Billy's not in jail right now? You flipped him.
Yeah.
He's working for the D.
E.
A.
You're using him to get at El Diablo? You're playing some kind of a damn game with my brother and the head of the Laredo cartel? It's what got Lulu kidnapped! We will get her back.
Yeah.
Yeah, sure you will, Dan.
Only question is, is she still gonna be alive? Hailee! What is it? What's wrong? - Glad you're okay.
- I'm okay.
Where's Lu? She's not answering her phone.
Why don't you go back up to your room, watch some TV? Why? What's wrong? Hailee, Just go upstairs, okay? Mom? No questions.
Not now, honey.
Please.
Just go.
You know that guy? No.
Cartel could have eyes on Billy right now to see if he's working with law enforcement.
I'm a Texas ranger, Dan.
Law enforcement lives down the hall.
And yet you had no idea.
Go to hell.
Hey.
Just in case, I'm your boyfriend.
You invited me to spend the night.
That's the reason I'm here.
Sure.
You son of a bitch.
You tell me where my daughter is.
- Tell me right now! - Billy! It's El diablo, Dan.
You get every resource your D.
E.
A.
has-- What? And what? - You find-- - We have no leverage in this, Billy.
I'm sorry, but all we can do is just wait on a phone call.
There's nowhere to go.
These people are shadows.
She's right.
And when they call, we know what to do.
Yeah.
Your "know what to do" got my daughter abducted.
- You.
- Baby.
- You did this.
- Come on, Listen to me.
- You got us here.
- Just listen to me.
So, why don't you try to tell me and explain to me, how did this happen? Two years ago, we were facing foreclosure on the ranch.
That's not possible.
We own the land and the house.
We don't own anything.
The bank does.
Dad was a hard-core gambler.
Poker game with friends.
No, Molly, it was more than that.
He gambled away everything.
After he died, I was able to keep the place afloat for the better part of 10 years, but when I couldn't, I needed a loan, and no decent bank would touch us, so I had to go to some dirty bank out in conroe, and I got a loan, and when I fell behind on it-- Started doing favors for the cartel? So, to spare my feelings, you went into business with criminals.
All I was doing was just signing the paperwork for some cattle imports.
That's all you were doing? Save it.
You know I've run away from a life like this, and you brought it right back to our house.
- I'm leaving.
- I'm sorry.
I don't care.
I'll make sure she and Hailee get to a hotel.
They'll be safe.
Agent Jackson, you know Molly.
Let's get set up on the table.
I thought the idea was to keep law enforcement out of this.
We've got people set up around the perimeter undercover.
- And the man with the dog? - He's ours.
When these cameras are set up, we'll have a live feed to a surveillance unit off site.
What am I supposed to do with these? Get them in the windows upstairs.
I need to see from the end of the driveway all the way to the front door.
You think the cartel's coming here, don't you? I don't know what the cartel's doing, but I'm gonna be ready for them.
Aunt Molly, What's going on? Everything's going to be okay.
No.
That ranch hand that started last week carries a gun under his shirt.
Tell her, Molly.
She deserves to know the truth.
Hey.
Your sister has been kidnapped.
No.
We're gonna get her back.
Is it because of something that dad did? Yes.
Your dad made some big mistakes, but he made them because he loves his family very much-- too much.
He thought he could protect us.
Hailee, pack a bag.
We have to leave.
What about dad? He's staying.
Honey, I'm so sorry you have to go through this.
You know what? Why don't you Parkers change the things you do? Maybe you wouldn't have to say "I'm sorry" so often.
Let's go, sweetie.
We're ready.
Here's your hotel and room number.
An escort car is gonna pick you up on the highway and follow you there.
- Agents will be watching around the clock.
- Fine.
Hey.
Hey, I'll call you.
Don't.
Just find my daughter and - bring her back to me.
- I will.
I love you.
Baby, I'm sorry.
I'm never coming back, Billy.
Never.
Hailee, come on.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, It's gonna be okay, all right? I love you, daddy.
I love you, too, Baby.
Now, you go on.
You go take care of your mom, okay? Get out of here.
Winston.
And the hostage? Wait for me.
Go! Go, go! Go! Clear.
Cover me! Clear! All clear! Clear! All D.
B.
S.
D.
E.
A.
! Back room clear! This is El Diablo.
They're Lulu's.
I got to do something.
I got to get out of here.
- Hey.
Hey! - Don't.
Don't.
El Diablo is dead -- murdered.
- So, who has Lulu, Molly? - Whoever killed El Diablo.
I don't understand.
They-- they took her? Why? Lulu is worth $10 million to whoever has her.
They will contact you to get those drugs.
What am I supposed to tell them when they do? I don't have the drugs.
The D.
E.
A.
does.
Dan will get them.
He has to.
So, what? I-I just sit here? We sit here.
Why didn't you come to me? I couldn't.
I know how you feel about dad and this ranch.
That's just stupid.
Nothing's worth all this.
I thought I could control it.
I thought that I could get us to a happy ending.
When I got caught, I should have just gone to jail.
Then at least I know that my family would be safe.
I swear to God, if anything happens to my little baby Listen, We will get her back.
We will get her back.
Whoever killed El Diablo knew he hid his money in the walls.
Cleaned them out.
Millions.
We found $100 bills on the ground they couldn't be bothered to pick up.
Terrific.
A cartel turf war in Texas.
We're supposed to keep all that stuff on the other side of the fence.
You have any idea who has the little girl? No, but it doesn't change the game.
They're still gonna want to trade the girl for the drugs.
Assuming he knows who she is.
Assuming he knows what she's worth.
No, this was a power move inside the organization.
He knows.
And you want me to let you walk out of here with $10 million worth of cocaine? It's our only play.
Your ass is on the line here.
So is mine.
This is my operation, it's my failure, and it's my job to make it right.
I will not lose control of those drugs.
That's a non-option.
Once we have the exchange location, we'll secure the area.
We will have eyes on every road in and out of there.
When the girl's handed off, we move in.
Hmm.
These plans never go wrong, right? I want every gram accounted for.
Don't come back here with an excuse, Agent Winston.
- The girl's life is in jeopardy.
- So is your career.
Molly.
Did you find her? No, but we found where she was being held, and there's no sign that she was harmed in any way.
Please.
Please help us.
I will.
Tracking device is in the zipper pull-- Latest technology.
Works in burst mode.
They'd have to have a highly advanced scanner to find it, which is unlikely.
But not impossible.
They are always innovating.
Let's go.
The head of the Laredo cartel was murdered last night.
How do you know that? Because I was on a D.
E.
A.
raid that found his body.
Why were you on a D.
E.
A.
raid? - You don't have any cases in-- - Luis Please.
Sit down, Ranger Parker.
Nothing goes past these walls.
My niece was kidnapped by the Laredo cartel.
- Why? - Billy made mistakes.
Big mistakes.
She's 9 years old.
They think Billy's cooperating in a ransom.
They can't know that law enforcement is involved.
What do you need me to do? There's a bank in Conroe.
It's in league with the cartel.
- Money laundering.
- Probably more than that.
These banks are supposed to be watched by state regulators.
Well, it looks like this one fell through the cracks or someone's protecting it.
I could find out who does business with that bank, what shell companies, who passes cash through it.
- But would that get you to Lulu? - I don't know.
Um, but it's the only lead I've got.
We have activity.
Running the plates now.
Crap.
No match on the plates.
Hey, is anyone in your family - expecting company? - No.
Why? 'Cause a woman just pulled up to the ranch in a chauffeured vehicle.
I'm on my way.
Who is it? I don't know.
Please advise, we have a potential suspect at the door.
Do not engage.
I'm going.
Do not engage.
Agent Winston is on his way.
May I come in, Mr.
Parker? Well, I don't know.
So far, you haven't introduced yourself.
I have your daughter.
Does that earn me a proper hello? Listen to me.
I will do anything you want.
Just please tell me my daughter's safe.
We're not barbarians, Mr.
Parker.
Your daughter's fine.
I want to speak to her.
I'm sure you do.
- Are we alone? - Yeah.
Hmm.
Have you contacted anyone in law enforcement? No.
No, I got rid of the cops.
My wife had called them earlier-- Yeah.
Who's that man outside, walking the dog? I don't know.
Thing is, Mr.
Parker, You might be lying, or you might be telling the truth.
I'm not lying.
I don't care.
All I want is my drugs.
If you're telling the truth, there's no problem.
You bring them to me, and I give you your daughter.
If you're lying and you're working with the D.
E.
A.
, then you have a problem.
- I will do anything you want.
- Good.
Billy? Did McGarrity reach you? One of the mares is down.
No.
Look, I've told you this before.
You cannot have your vet calling me in the middle of the day, expect me to drop-- Ow.
Excuse me.
- This This is Becca's mother's -- - Cousin.
Becca and I haven't seen each other since we were kids.
Melissa.
Nice to meet you.
Molly.
I see you're a Ranger.
Oh, yes, ma'am, except when a vet calls because a horse is colicky.
Seriously, Can you deal with McGarrity? Yeah, I'll call him.
Did Billy offer you anything? Oh, He did.
Yeah, I'm good.
Who is she? Facial-recognition software can't get a read.
Damn it.
Look, the second this woman exits, I need a close-up on her face.
Can I have a glass of water after all? Texas is so dry.
Of course.
Are you from out of state? Out of the country.
Oh.
Whereabouts? A small town in Mexico.
You've probably never heard of.
Oh.
You should try me.
I'm pretty good.
________ Work? Never ends.
Are you cold? We could always turn up the heat.
So, are you, uh visiting friends in Texas? Shopping.
Like I said, small town.
No pretty clothes.
Oh.
I should get going.
Back to Mexico? It was nice to meet you.
My aunt speaks the world of the Parkers.
I sure do hope I'll hear from you again.
You will.
I'm hard to get rid of.
- Who is she? - She's cartel.
She has Lulu.
Talk to me.
Becca's cousin.
Molly, Don't do this.
I got agents in place.
I can take her right now.
You tell them to stay out of sight.
Do you hear me? Do not make a move.
Hang on.
Hey.
The vehicle's exiting.
Sir, what do you want us to do? Do not engage.
Let her go.
What happens when the cartel reaches out? I don't have the drugs, Molly.
You think the D.
E.
A.
Is just gonna release 50 kilos? They just did.
Who was she? Molly told you she's, uh, Becca's cousin.
Those stay under my control.
Billy has to take them to the swap.
He will, and we'll be right behind him with an army.
Look, we secure the roads, shut everything down, - I make the bust.
- No.
After you have Lulu.
No.
They're gonna see you, Dan! Hello? Daddy? Hey, Baby.
You okay? Yeah.
Is mommy coming? Yes, soon.
South creek parking lot.
One hour.
Alone, Billy Parker.
Alone.
Wait.
- Lu? - Where's the drop? I'm getting my daughter back without the D.
E.
A.
Billy! Billy! Where's the tracker? Duffel bag.
Zipper.
If they find it, they'll kill him.
It was the only way.
Then I'm radio and then I'm television I'm afraid of everyone What's the plan? They go in, they come out, We move.
After Lulu and Billy are away and safe.
I know what I'm doing, Molly.
With the old red bodies I'm afraid of everyone, I'm afraid of everyone There's a vehicle entering the lot.
Everybody hold.
With my kid on my shoulders, I try not to hurt anybody I like but I don't have the drugs to sort I don't have the drugs to sort it out sort it out It's a decoy.
Right, to see if we were here.
See? We're not here.
With my kid on my shoulders, I try not to hurt anybody I like but I don't have the drugs to sort I don't have the drugs to sort it out No weapons! Sort it out - Come on! - Daddy! Hey.
Baby, it's okay, but you've got to keep running.
Keep running, okay? Go, go, go, go, go! All right, Take it easy.
Sort it out Take it easy.
Take it easy.
Sort it out Hey! Daddy! No! It's Winston.
We need immediate air support.
Helicopter with hostage headed due South, Potentially to the Mexican border.
Hi.
I'm cold.
We're gonna get you somewhere warm.
What's happening, Aunt Molly? Where did those men take daddy? Lulu, Listen to me.
Are you hurt anywhere? I'm sorry, Aunt Molly.
I didn't wait for mommy at the pool.
It's okay, honey.
You didn't do anything wrong.
- This is scary.
- I know it is.
But everything's gonna be fine.
Your daddy's fine.
I told you I ain't playing games.
- Are you working with the D.
E.
A.
? - No! You got your drugs.
You don't need me.
The D.
E.
A.
will not shoot us down as long as we have you with us-- A fine, upstanding American citizen.
Yeah, okay, Alive.
As long as they know I'm alive.
They are Americans.
They will assume the best until they find your headless body.
Falcon one, Maintain safe distance.
Keep your lights off.
Tracking device is loud and clear.
Ground units, continue South, Highway 14.
They said mommy was with Hailee because Hailee had an accident and she was at the hospital.
They said they would take me there.
Is Hailee all right? She's fine.
So is your mom.
Hey, what happened next? They put me in a room by myself.
They turned on the TV for me.
Then I heard loud noises, like gunshots.
What happened then? The door opened, and a woman came in.
She drove me to another place, put me in another room, gave me a cup of hot chocolate.
Then I fell asleep.
Is everything gonna be okay with daddy? It's going to, Lu.
I promise.
Did the woman get in the helicopter with you? No.
What's this? When I was getting in the helicopter, something bit me.
Bee sting.
There's a doctor here who can check you out.
- Then can we go home? - Do you want to call mom? We are being followed, Gringo.
Where is the tracking device? I told you there isn't one.
Oh, Come on, man.
Look, man, I told you-- I don't got anything on me.
Hey! I will cut you open right now! It's in the bag.
This is Falcon one.
They've gone dark and taken evasive action.
- We've lost them.
- Well, Find them.
The tracking stopped.
They either crushed it or threw it out.
- If they threw it out, we're-- - I get it.
Continue monitoring the border.
We have to get a visual at some point.
If they did throw it out, you know what goes next.
Bank left.
Let's go home.
The border will be armed and dangerous, only we will not be going there.
We have lost your friends, Gringo.
I don't have any friends.
Then it will be a small funeral.
That's her.
That's the woman at the ranch.
Esmeralda Montero? That's El Diablo's sister.
- She killed her own brother? - Her turn to run the family business.
- Bring up her file.
- Well, where the hell is she? That chopper had to be bringing her the drugs.
It didn't cross the border.
We scrambled aircraft, and six federal agencies had eyes on the Rio Grande.
- So, She's still in Texas, - And Billy's with her.
I'm operating on the assumption that he's still alive, and everyone else in this room should do that, too.
Molly, of course.
Did you find daddy? Not yet, Lu.
Hey, come here.
Look at that woman.
Is she the one that gave you hot chocolate and put you in the helicopter? Uh-huh.
Did anybody inside the chopper say anything about where they came from? Hey, it's all right, Lu.
We'll figure it out.
When you flew in the helicopter to see daddy, where was the sun in the sky? Do you remember? It was getting dark.
And the sun was behind us.
Behind you? Are you sure? They were coming from the west.
Listen, we start with the last-known location of the chopper and grid a search pattern due west.
All right, Let's go.
Good job, kiddo.
Good job.
Torch it.
I've got a small fire on the horizon five klicks due west of you.
Chopper at 2 o'clock.
Continue towards smoke.
We're following you.
Call emergency.
- Three probable D.
O.
A.
S.
- Billy! Hey.
Come on, Billy.
Come on, Billy.
Come on.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey.
No.
Stay back.
Stay back.
You're okay.
You're okay.
You know who I am? You know who I am? Tell me my name.
Yeah, Molly.
Mommy.
- He's alive? - He's fine.
He's been asking for you.
He got beat up pretty badly, but he's gonna be okay.
- I want to talk to him.
- I know.
Your wife.
Hey.
I love you, baby.
I love you so damn much.
You come back home, okay? We will.
Yeah.
We will.
We're still looking for a third.
There were three in the chopper-- Four, including the hostage.
What's that? Is that wax? No.
Honey.
It's honeycomb.
- Lieutenant.
- Go ahead.
I'm out in hill country -- west.
Did you get that list of companies with big accounts from the bank I told you about? I did, and our forensic accountants took a look.
They isolated nine businesses that ran large cash balances with no infrastructure to support them.
What kind of businesses? Uh, Two bars, a pool hall, some kind of lingerie place, a kosher food distributor.
Any other foodstuffs? Uh An apiary.
- That's bees, right? - Right.
This one's called monarch honey.
Lieutenant, Where is it? Val Verde county.
Got it.
Thanks.
- Dan.
- What's up? Lulu got stung by a bee when esmeralda had her.
Now honeycomb on the guy's boot.
A bee farm is perfect for laundering money.
Right.
A small op with no regulation.
Monarch bee? Esmeralda's handbag had a crown logo on it, like a Vivienne Westwood.
You know that means nothing to me, right? That means our lady killed her own brother so she could be queen bee.
Hands up now! In the warehouse! Get her up Let your tears turn to rivers and carry you away through the desert Don't mess with the Parkers, huh? Wash away the shame no more living in the past Don't ever let her see the light of day.
Wouldn't dream of it.
Let your tears turn to rivers Ranger.
And carry you away Carry you away, away, away - That buys a small island.
- Or ten.
That was a great job, Luke.
Thanks.
Did you find that here? What do you bet it nets us a few other big fish? These people love to keep records.
We have a problem.
Esmeralda's Laptop with all her contacts, everyone in the state on the cartel's payroll-- Winston has it.
- Well, get it back.
- Kill the son of a bitch if you have to.
Copy that.
