The Perfect Son

Take a look.
Classic.
Beautiful.
She's gonna love it.
Yeah, she picked it out.
Look, um, I know I've been doing nothing But throwing you guys curves lately.
I mean, blowing off college, enlisting, this, But I was wondering, once I ship out If you'd consider letting Rebecca live here While I'm away.
I mean, she'll still be working, Have her own life but that way, You guys can sort of make sure she's okay Since I won't be around To take care of her.
Of course.
Once you put that ring on Rebecca's finger, She'll be like our daughter.
Jaime, she's already Part of this family.
That's, that's great.
I mean, that's the best wedding gift you guys can ever give me.
Should we tell him? Tell me what? Your mother and I eloped.
We never told anyone.
Had to keep it a secret And then have this whole other Cuban wedding thing.
Oh, God, can you imagine? That's hard to imagine.
Mr.
Bronson, were you or were you not contracted To tail Alex Vega? Yes, but what you have to consider And under your evidently less-Than Watchful eye, he managed to get all the way to Canada.
Which is a long ways away from our Sunny shores in Florida.
Don't you agree? I just thought Well, you see, Right there that's the problem.
You're not getting paid to think.
You were getting paid to track.
I have hound dogs.
They do that fine.
You know what their secret is? They don't get themselves all flustered And flummoxed trying to think.
It's not what they're bred for.
It's not what you're bred for either, it would appear.
Look, Mr.
Samuels No, you look.
I hired you to take down Alex Vega.
Instead, he's never been better, And I wind up under investigation, Paying multimillion-Dollar fines.
No, you're terminated, Mr.
Bronson.
Your service is no longer required And no monies owed, since you decided To do all this unauthorized thinking Instead of the job you were hired for! You owe me $45,000.
Get out of my sight.
That was long overdue.
Yeah, well, you were right and I was wrong.
Have a T-Shirt made.
We have three offers from developers wanting to buy our land.
What do you want me to say? They can kiss my cracker ass.
There something elseyou wanted? I'm not the enemy.
No, you're just going to the wedding of the enemy's son.
Frank's never gonna marry you, darling.
Just like Alex gave you up back then.
Oh, they'll enjoy you Have their fun, but they know deep down what you are.
You're swamp trash, like your daddy.
I'm nothing like you.
You are me.
You're my blood and my bones Certain deviousness of mind.
It's that special bond that we share.
You reallyelieve that? It was consecrated all those years ago.
You're vile! Careful, Ellis.
You're either a Samuels or a Duque And you'll never be a Duque! Hey, am I, uh, interrupting? Yes.
Yes.
Sorry.
Amor, don't you have some? I know what you're gonna say.
"Don't I have some wedding business?" Yes, okay, I'm off.
I'd love to, but I have lipstick.
All right.
Bye, Mom, thanks.
So how you doing? I'm good.
And you've regained your focus now that you're back at work? No, I never really feel I lost it.
But You were always stubborn.
I had a good teacher.
But, no, I wanted to tell you that I won't be bothering you Or the company anymore about ethanol.
I'm glad to hear that.
I am going to be investing My own personal funds in a refinery project, though.
With the support I have from these guys at GM And hopefully back in Tallahassee, I can line up other investors.
More chasing after politicians.
On my own time with my own dime, Pop.
Well, this is the day of your son's wedding.
I'd rather not discuss that now.
Fine.
Want a lift back? No, I think I'm gonna stay a while longer.
With over a million - Dollar fine to pay, I thought Joe Samuels would stop wasting money Trying to have me followed.
I'm no longer in his employ.
So I'll rule out coincidence In us bumping into each other out here.
Who's paying you now? I was thinking maybe you.
I pass.
You don't even want to hear what I'm selling? Why would I listen to anything you say? Fair enough.

Not if we plow in front of the fire.
It'll keep it from jumping.
No, Pop, There's too much wind.
We gotta find Jaime! We don't even know if he's in there, Alex.

I'm gonna get some arson investigators down here.
If this is suspici If?! Let us handle it, Alex.
Please.
Oh, that worked out really well in the past, Vince.
You think Joe Samuels set this fire? I think the same thing you think.
Then let me do my job.
Joe Samuels did this? The only thing that matters right now is that you're okay.
I'll let you know what the arson investigators find.
What was it that happened, son? Where is he? Look, I know everyone thinks I've bailed on all my plans, But I'm not bailing on this one.
Rebecca and I got married a month ago, Dad.
We eloped.
If Father Mike is still willing, I'd like him to marry us again.
With this ring, I thee wed.
FATHER MIKE: And now his ring.
With this ring I thee wed.
With this ring I thee wed.
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
May God bless you both.
May your years be filled with happiness, Joy and peace.
We lost about? Um some of the seeds.
Might germ, I don't know, after the fire.
But, uh, the good news is, I guess, Is that we managed to save the mill, and, uh.
An I guess what's really important is that our family's all right.
All right, I'm sick of pretending That this is just a business.
This is a war.
We're under attack.
You put mbut you won't in chaleave me in charge.
You made it a war, Alex.
What? Yeah, you made it into a personal vendetta.
You brought thugs into our life.
I made it personal? Everything we builte Is crumbling around us.
And that's, what, my fault? I've tried to protect us.
I told you before.
You were hell-Bent on revenge, and that would destroy you.
I curse the day I curse the day we ever found out about the Samuels.
In a way that theyeak couldn't before, Even when Lucia was killed.
You see, that's That's what hatred and blood lust does to a man.
ALEX: You're going to sit there and be sanctimonious, Now that you don't have the stomach for this? You knew whoever you chose to be CEO Of this company would have a bloody battle on their hands.
That's why you chose That's why you chose me over Frank.
You chose to protect him, your own blood.
Because you knew that this war was coming.
And you knew I would do the hard things that had to be done.
Alex, come on, you're tired.
Just stop, okay? And that's why you chose me To go with you to the field to get Lucia.
Because somewhere in your mind, You knew that I would do the dirty work.
K.
You were protecting Frank then, too.
I saw you holding that dead baby And I thought toghyself, "That's my father.
He wants me to do this.
" You're a hard man to disappoint, you know that? What is he talking about, Pancho? What is he saying? Dime.
Eh Joe Samuels hired two animals to kidnap your daughter.
When I was 14, I shot and killed one of them.
Six months ago, the other one showed up.
He came back into our lives.
Quiñones.
You know what he says to me? "Remember, you have children, too.
" No more secrets.
No more lying.
I'm tired of shouldensng the burdens of this family.
I I had Quiñones killed.
I've got blood on my hands.
God help me.
So do you.
I will not turn the other cheek! All of this maneuvering was, what? So that you could hold the reins a little longer? Look at where we're at now.
Is that what you've been keeping from me? Is that how Lucia died?Mu Amor No.
No.
Papi.
Ma I'm sorry.
I He's a good man, bu,he's been naive.
And unfair to you.
I just needed to opeup his eyes to what's been going on.
But I never wanted to hurt you.
No I want you to know something.
When I brought you home from the orphanage, I loved you instantly, Like my own son.
