Dallas (2012) s01e07 Episode Script

Previously on "Dallas" - What the hell is this? - A trust document, your father may own Southfork, but mine controls the mineral rights.
We're shutting your drilling down.
Veronica Martinez.
A.
K.
A.
Marta del Sol.
I got a feeling she's gonna try to hurt Elena.
Frank Ashkani.
What is it exactly you want with Mr.
Cliff Barnes? Hello, Bum.
I need you to do a little diggin' on Ashkani.
Just find out who he really is.
Vicente.
My buyers overseas are anxious to know when they can expect their oil.
I found a DVD of John Ross having sex with Marta.
It proves he was in on the fraud.
Thugs like Harris Ryland never do anything without strings attached.
Annie! Mr.
Ewing.
What brings you to forth worth? Stay away from Ann.
Rebecca.
You okay? What did the doctor say? She's gonna run a few more tests.
You and I are done, Tommy.
Just get out of Dallas so we can both move on with our lives.
I am in love with Christopher.
And I'm pregnant.
Music plays Whoa, whoa.
I need to drill, and I can't if I don't have the mineral rights.
Don't tell me it's legally binding.
You're a trust lawyer.
Unbind it.
Don't you have some cows to go birth? You and Marta.
You know, I could've used this against you, but I didn't have to.
I shouldn't have to.
Remember when we used to play pickup basketball, first to 10? I always knew if I let you score a few points, you'd get cocky, let your guard down.
The trust is airtight.
You're not gonna be able to dissolve it or get a majority vote.
We'll see about that.
You can't win, John Ross.
Without the mineral rights on Southfork, you can't even sell the mud off your boots.
I'll let you have that for free.
The Ewing name might not mean anything to you, but it means something to me.
And whatever your next move is, I hope you leave Elena out of it.
Thanks for the coaster.
You know, just 'cause I'm fighting fair doesn't mean I won't fight For Southfork and for Elena.
Theme music plays music plays Rebecca.
What are you doing here? Um, I just came to thank you for driving me to the hospital the other day.
I know I put you in a really awkward position, and, well, you were really cool about it, so Thank you.
That's sweet.
I don't expect you to forgive me for what I did to Christopher.
And I certainly know it'll take more than a gift basket to get you there.
But I just I just hope Are you okay? Yeah.
Yeah, no, I'm fine.
No, no, you look sick.
Okay, my bathroom's right there.
Nosebleed the other day wasn't just random, was it? No.
How far along are you? Nine weeks.
Did you know before the the hospital? No.
Have you told Christopher? I tried calling.
He he doesn't answer.
Becca, he has to know.
I know.
I I'm sorry.
Um, I should go.
I Oh, um I'm sorry I threw up in your bathroom.
Hey.
Hey.
Where are you? I'm at Neiman's.
Oh.
Well, you gonna be home soon? I thought maybe the two of us could take a quick ride before dinner.
Oh.
Um I don't think I can make it.
Rain check? Sure.
A rain check would be fine.
I-I should go.
I'm in line.
Okay.
I'll see you at dinner.
Come on.
Come here.
Come here.
All the grown-ups were drinking.
I wanted to be grown-up, too.
So I snuck that key, got in that cabinet, poured my drink to the top.
Funny thing was, I thought it was gonna taste like iced tea, and even though it tasted like battery acid, I forced myself to drink that whole drink.
Introduction to bourbon 101.
And that's when you found me.
You were half past gone on the floor, and first thing I thought was, "yep, he's his mama's son.
" Lucy, you were, and always will be, my favorite cousin.
What do you want? I need you to talk to Uncle Gary.
There's a mineral-rights trust tied to Southfork, and the only way I can drill is if J.
R.
And Gary sign off.
Southfork's is sittin' on two billion barrels of the purest crude.
Now, when Ewing oil is back in the game, we will all benefit.
You're not that drunk little boy I found passed out on the floor anymore, are you? No, ma'am, I am not.
I'm sure your daddy's real proud.
If there's anyone Uncle Gary'll listen to more than Bobby, it's you.
Now, if you can get him to come down in favor of me drilling on Southfork, I'm prepared to offer you a stake in Ewing oil.
A significant stake.
Battery again? No.
Uh, spark plug, I think.
Actually, could you give it a crank? Sure.
Thanks.
Any sparks? Crankshaft sensor, maybe? Yeah, maybe.
Elena.
Christopher, don't.
I know.
You're with John Ross now.
Yeah, and you need to respect that.
I do.
I mean, I should.
It's just I owe you a better apology for the things I've said to you lately.
The only reason I shut you out of the methane project was because you and I were getting too close.
You were trying to be fair to Rebecca.
I get that.
I care about you, Elena.
And I always should've fought harder for you.
When you didn't show up at our wedding, instead of me acting like some hurt teenager, I should've gone after you.
You need to call Rebecca.
Why do I need to talk to her? Because she's been trying to reach you.
Wait, how do you know that? You really need to call her.
Why are you harping on this? There are other ways to push me away, if that's what you're trying to do.
She's pregnant! She should've been the one to tell you.
Wait, Christopher.
Okay, boys.
Come on.
This'll be the last one.
Get him in there.
You can just drop it, Tommy.
There we go.
Got him? All right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mr.
Ewing? Hey, boys, it's all right.
It's all right.
Just take that.
Officers.
Can I help you with something? Hi.
Are you Bobby Ewing? Yes.
Is there anything wrong? Mr.
Ewing, you're under arrest for the assault of Harris Ryland.
- Lew, these charges are bullshit! - I agree.
All Harris wants to do is get me involved in some stupid fight so he can get his hooks back into Ann.
There's a deal on the table.
What kind of deal? All Mr.
Ryland really wants is an apology.
Apologize, and he will drop the charges.
Bobby, trust me, you don't want to take this to court.
Mr.
Ryland is Ryland is a smug son of a bitch, and I refuse to go to him and kiss his ring.
Mr.
Ryland has his tentacles wrapped around everyone, everywhere big business, governments, the courts.
One tug, Bobby, and he can make this unravel all around you.
Where are we in trying to find J.
R.
? You said your investigators were checking out his phone records.
They found nothing eyebrow-raising.
J.
R.
Was very careful.
Of course he was.
The nursing home? We've already looked at the security tapes.
Again, nothing.
If J.
R.
And Marta did business, it had to have happened there.
My boys did turn this up.
It's information on your brother's P.
I, Bum.
I guess Elena told you.
Where's your brother? I told him to leave.
Christopher, we need to talk about what we're gonna do.
This is just another ruse.
I'm not lying.
You been lying to me for the past two years.
How am I supposed to trust a single word that comes out of your mouth? We're having a baby, Christopher.
Whether you're my husband or not, you're still its father.
This is crazy.
I-I mean, this this is just another ploy.
Fine.
Whatever you want to tell yourself.
You know, I-I really thought you'd be more adult about this, considering what your birth parents did to you, but I guess not.
You think she's lying? Well, she's lied about everything else.
Oh, Christopher, about a baby? I made an appointment with the doctor tomorrow morning.
We're getting a paternity test.
Son, I know she lied.
But but do you really think she'd be unfaithful? I don't know what she'd do.
She's a liar.
You know, that girl is trying to do right by you, and all you're being is spiteful and cruel! Annie! I'm sorry.
I don't know what's gotten into me lately.
Those flowers from Harris don't.
Please.
Annie, ever since you got those flowers, you've been edgy.
You haven't slept.
I'm fine, Bobby.
Okay.
Well, there's, uh, something I haven't told you.
Last week, after you got the flowers, I went to see Harris.
What? I slapped him around a little, and now he's pressing charges.
He says he'll drop the charges, but only if I apologize.
Why did you go do that? Because he deserved it.
This is unbelievable.
Annie.
Don't.
Please.
I can't.
Music plays When you brought me here for the first time, I remember thinking, "wow, if this is where he takes me for a first date, he must really think I like him.
" I knew you liked good food.
And this place still has the best jalapeño burger in town.
Yeah.
I was pretty confident that I had you.
Oh.
I don't know what I would do without you, Elena.
These days, I feel like I'm walkin' on such shaky ground left and right, but when I'm with you, everything is still.
When we get these rigs up and running, everything settles, I think that you and I should take a trip.
Hmm.
What is it? Huh? What's wrong? Uh, sorry.
I just remembered something for work.
Do do you mind if I go out and use the phone real quick? Be right back.
- Hello? - Mr.
Ewing.
Vicente wants to meet with you tonight.
You tell Mr.
Cano I'm busy.
I'll call him in the morning.
You will come in one hour.
He wants a progress report on the oil you promised.
One hour, Mr.
Ewing.
Word travels like oil in a pipeline, Mr.
Ewing, and the word is there's no oil in your pipeline.
Just give me a couple more days.
You'll get your oil.
You know, we have a dance in Venezuela called the Joropo.
It's like a waltz, you know, except instead of the usual 3/4 tempo, it alternates between 3/4 and 6/8.
Now Alternating between the two tempos is very difficult.
It takes a very Skilled dancer someone like me.
My point is this.
I can spot a good dancer when I see one, Mr.
Ewing.
And you Are not a good dancer.
Don't forget I own the lien on your family's ranch.
That was part of the deal.
Mr.
Cano, I-I know that you're not interested in the real-estate business.
You want oil.
What if I were willing to make a trade for more time? A trade? For what? Information.
Marta del Sol.
We both know her as Veronica.
She skimmed off the sale of Southfork.
She lied to you about the purchase price, and she pocketed the difference.
I found out, and she has been a real pain in my backside.
So get your guys to spook her, chase her out of town back to Vegas.
Keep her the hell away from me.
From us.
One more week, Mr.
Ewing.
That's it.
But if we don't get what we were promised, we will take Southfork and everything beneath it.
Lucy.
What the hell? Sorry, John Ross.
She in your pocket now? How'd you play her? Tradition, family, miss Ellie, and all that crap? She was never in the deal.
She and Gary are siding with me.
But I am glad that you took her out to brunch.
It's nice to see you two staying so close.
I owe J.
R.
's investors.
If I don't start producing oil by the end of this week, all hell is gonna break loose.
I really had hoped that you kids would climb out of the hole this family dug.
But J.
R.
's just dragging you down with him.
I cannot let my father hang out to dry.
Well If J.
R.
Were here I'm sure he'd be proud.
Uncle Bobby, you have to let me drill.
This is what's happening, young man.
I stop you from drilling, I link J.
R.
To the fraud, and I get my deed back.
And then you and your daddy never set foot on my property again.
You should've let me handle it.
I would've gone straight to Gary.
Fat load of difference that would've made.
Bobby and Gary won't budge, I won't be able to drill, my daddy's backers will have my head on a pike, and this whole deal will go tits-up.
Have you heard from your father? You kiddin'? I got no clue where he is or how to get ahold of him.
And he wants it that way.
You owe people oil, but it doesn't have to be Southfork oil.
What about Elena's plot on the Henderson site? No, I am not gonna ask Elena to float me some barrels.
I refuse to drag her into this mess.
She's in the oil business.
She's in a mess already.
Elena's the one good thing I got in my life, and I want to keep her that way.
I want her to stay safe.
You asked me to help.
Yeah, well, I changed my mind.
A hundred-year-old trust is not gonna hold up in court.
If my boy doesn't find a way to dissolve it, his mama will.
I've stared down worse barrels, Bum.
I sure wish I had your faith, J.
R.
John Ross can handle himself.
He's a chip off the old block.
Did you get that info I asked for on Cliff's right hand? I did.
First off, his name's not Frank.
It's Raheed Durrani.
Cliff plucked him off of the streets of Islamabad took a real shine to the kid, treated him as his own gave him an American education, college degree, fancy suits everything but the heir-to-my-fortune part.
So he feels cheated? Wouldn't you? Guy's got a freakin' MBA, and he's still a gofer? A cheated man is a dangerous man.
Just ask my son.
So, we'll run the chorionic villus sampling against your husband's cheek swab, and we should have results by later this afternoon.
Thank you.
Mm-hmm.
The day I met you on that train, I didn't know where I was going.
Elena had just stood me up.
I was feeling sorry for myself.
And then you sat across from me, this beautiful woman.
You kept prodding me and prodding me until I came out of my shell.
I thought you were so sweet Genuine.
Christopher, I'm sorry no, I'm the one who's sorry.
I'm the one who fell in love with a lie.
No, I'm sorry for what I said yesterday about your birth parents.
They abandoned you, and you would never abandon anyone.
I know you, Chris.
Maybe better than anyone.
Why doesn't he just ask me himself? Because he's a man.
And worse, he's a Ewing man.
And the Ewings always have to believe that they have everything under control.
But the bigger truth is John Ross is a good boy, and he has a good heart, and he doesn't want you to feel that he's taking advantage.
But his father's investors are very impatient and very unreasonable, and the barrels you would be giving him would only help to tide them over until John Ross can get his operation fully going.
John Ross knows I want no part of drilling on Southfork.
He respects that.
It's what he wants.
You wouldn't be drilling at Southfork.
You would be helping John Ross keep his head above water.
His father just dumped this into his lap, warts and all, and John Ross is just trying to make the best of it.
I want my son to succeed.
And so do I.
You're not the only one that cares about John Ross.
But I also care about Christopher and Bobby.
Don't you? Elena, when the day comes that you have to choose between your child and anybody else, I hope you choose wisely.
And as the sole investor in your growing enterprise, I hope you always make the wise choice.
Hey.
I'm glad it's you.
Look, I need to ask you something.
Whatever you need to ask her, I'll be sure to pass it on.
How the hell do you have her phone? Why don't we ask her together? Marta, what have you done? There's a hotel at the corner of Walker and third room 918.
And don't even think about calling the police.
I'll hurt her.
Listen, you crazy, messed-up bitch, you lay one finger on her Hello? Hello? Elena? Elena? Where the hell is she? They've been following me all day.
Thank God you're here.
Marta, where is Elena? I know it was you who sold me out to Vicente.
It's okay.
Elena? She's not here.
You need to help me.
Help? Why would I help? Because you got me into this! If you so much as scratch her, I will end you.
If you care about her safety at all, you will help me.
Hey.
This a bad time? Um, my phone's missing.
I thought I left it at the restaurant, but it's not there.
I'm sorry.
How are you doing? I've been better.
You shouldn't have found out the way you did.
That was wrong of me.
No, it it wasn't.
You know, you did what you thought was right.
And now you have to do the right thing.
Elena, I still want to be with you.
No, Christopher, we can't it doesn't matter what the test says.
And I know some part of you still wants to be with me.
Of course some part of me still wants to be with you.
But you and John Ross no, you and your child.
I can't get between that.
We can make it work.
I'm making things work with John Ross.
We're happy.
You have to stop this.
Please.
I guess timing's everything, huh? Getting the police involved I hate stooping to that.
It's an ugly gesture.
I apologize.
If by ugly, you mean cowardly, then yes, it was very ugly.
And if you're not here to apologize, then I'm afraid it's gonna have to be a necessary gesture.
It's not necessary, Harris.
I apologize.
Linda, call my lawyer.
Tell him I want to drop all charges against Mr.
Ewing.
Yeah.
Thank you, dear.
See? It's painless.
I want to be very clear, Harris.
My apology doesn't mean I take back what I did.
You mess with my wife in any way, and I will beat you into next Sunday.
Not if you're smart, you won't.
I was more than ready to go to court, but I didn't want to drag it out and cause my wife more pain.
Pain you are responsible for.
Here, I thought you might come asking.
So Here you go.
That's why you're here, isn't it? Find out what kind of person your wife really is? I know what kind of person my wife really is.
She's holding something back, and you want to know what.
Here's your what.
Why don't you go ahead and take a look inside? Come to your own conclusions.
There's a lot about Annie you don't know.
Vicente froze my bank accounts.
I have no money.
And I really need to get out of the country.
How much? What? Money.
How much money? I don't want money.
Then what the hell do you want? I want you to take responsibility.
You got me into this! You need to help me! Marta, I'm here to find Elena.
Where the hell is she? You don't have her.
It was the only way to get you here.
You stole her phone.
I need you to help me.
Please, John Ross, please, please.
Are you filming this? What did you think was gonna happen here? What is wrong with you? I have earned what I have.
I've earned my way out of the slums of Caracas.
Congratulations.
I need to watch out for myself.
And I thought we had that in common.
But you're just a spoiled boy.
You're not entitled to anything.
Not me.
Not your girlfriend's love.
Nothing.
Give me that.
Well, whose side are you on? Christopher, she never lied about her love for you.
She lied about something in her past, something she was ashamed of.
You know, if she hadn't told the truth, you'd still be happy and in love, and the news of this baby would have been met with joy instead of heartbreak.
You can still have that life you and Rebecca and your child.
Well, maybe I don't want that.
It's the doctor.
Hello? Yes.
W-why? A-all right, fine.
Thank you.
They wouldn't give me the results over the phone.
They want me to come in.
We'll come with you.
DNA's a match.
You're the father.
You couldn't tell us this over the phone? When your wife was treated at the hospital last week, it was for nosebleeds and fatigue.
She didn't know, and the doctors didn't know, that she was pregnant until they detected the HCG hormone in her blood-work.
So it wasn't until today that we did the ultrasound and detected multiple heartbeats.
You're having twins.
Come here.
Those are our babies.
Charges are dropped.
I'm sorry you had to apologize.
Don't be sorry.
Harris gave me this.
He said you'd know what it is.
He said everything I need to know about you is in this envelope.
I'd be lying, Annie, if I said I didn't want to know what made you so upset.
I just wish you'd trust me enough to tell me.
I don't need to open this.
Everything I need to know about you Is right here.
I know you'll work through this on your own.
But if you need me I'm here.
You can trust me.
You weren't at the rig.
Where were you? Oh! Good to see you, too.
What is it? Mmm.
Babe, I know you're in trouble.
What? How could you sue Ellen talked to me.
She told me about your father's investors.
Elena, I can't ask you it's okay.
I want to help.
You don't have to help.
I want to.
We're in this together.
I've made my choice.
Officers, this has all been settled.
Just talk to Harris Ryland.
Sir, we're not here for you.
We're looking for your nephew.
What's going on? Sir, is this your car? We've got witnesses who say a man matching your description and your plates was seen fleeing the scene of a crime this afternoon.
Well, this must be some mistake.
What crime? The murder of Veronica Martinez.
I think you knew her as Marta del Sol.
Sir, we need to ask you a few questions.
