[QUOTE="stevew, post: 33353, member: 130"] Lucy says, "What do you mean Beau went with him?" John Ross answers, "He's experienced in these sorts of things. Not to mention he's a US Senator. They'd have to be out of their minds to harm him and the US Chargé. He'll be safe." "Safe is back here at South Fork." Lucy sits down in the sofa and holds Emily's hands. Emily stands and walks out of the room. Liam follows her. Bobby comes rushing in the room. "What's going on! Have they found Chris?" "No they've located the crash site but they haven't found anybody." John Ross says. "These guys are experts. They all know what they're getting into." "Except Christopher. He's not some mercenary." "No he's the engineer that understands what they need to do to get at their oil reserves. Except that's not what they want. There is a fraction down there that doesn't want the US involved in anything." "So why are they down there than?" "I said a fraction. I didn't say the whole country. You suggest we do business with our tail between our legs because a group of radical thugs threatens us, cause I don't intend to and neither does Chris. There's another group down there that is friendly towards us. They want our involvement." "And the government?" "A bunch of self benefiting harpies, like any government. Listen Uncle Bobby, he's with the best people possible. He's coming home. We're prepared for this." "So you knew this would happen?" "We prepared for things to go wrong." "Why are you down there in the first place? There's so many other place to find oil. Why take the risk?" "Same reason grandpa did. Because we're not going to back down from a challenge. These are the same group of rebels that brought his plane down and you can be sure, this time we're ready." Pamela stands and walks out of the room. Chris and Juan DeLaVegas meet with a well armed group of rebels in a fortified camp. The one says, "Mateo Ramos is on his way with your cousin Senator Ewing. They'll argue for your release in the Capital." "And what will La Oposición say?" "Either they'll claim to have killed you or they'll claim they're holding you or they'll claim total ignorance. Either way we'll flush out their support in the government. People will start to panic as the US government gets involved." "And you have the means to fight them?" "We're well armed. Thanks to the government ignoring shipments from China." "Well the Chinese military is so corrupt I'm told, it's not difficult to pay someone off to get you what ever you need. Just as you know the original source. So what do we do next?" "Sit back and watch as the US and their friends apply sanctions. Then we apply pressure from within, until this place explodes." "Venezuela's watching?" "The world is watching. There's Chinese and Russian support for Maracaibo in the UN right now. But the people of Maracaibo are suspicious of both. I suppose it's the devil you know being better than the devil you don't." Pamela sits in her room reading a book. John Ross sits next to her. She takes his hand and reads, "An overwhelming sense of anxiety or panic." She takes a deep breath. He holds her. "We always work these things out Pamela. We'll work this out." "You almost left to go down there." "But I didn't. I stayed." "Are we taking on too much here? Are we over our head? We're not just running a company. We're playing global politics. People are going to die." "My father's letter was clearly about revenge. But that's not why I'm doing this. Chris is doing it same reason David's down there. To make the big score. And they're going to. Remember what I said. This is a game changer. This will change the tide in South America. Lone Star and the Foundation will invest in entrepreneurial projects that will lift the standard of living in Maracaibo. The better if they are, the safer we all are. We can do this. We can." He hugs her. She holds him tight. Bobby walks into the living room to find Lucy drinking Champaign. He asks what she's doing. She replies, "Getting drunk," and eats some caviar off he hand. "I see." He Looks at the bottle and reads aloud, "Lucy's." "I guy I know. Claude. He has a winery in France." "He named this after you?" "He got drunk on so much of it because I broke his heart, he thought he should." "Oh I see." "I'll sober up as soon as you get Chris back home." Bobby sits down, scoops some caviar on his hand and eats it before hugging her. "A prince sent that to me from Iran." "The caviar? You break his heart too?" Lucy smiles. "It's Almas." "Wow you did break his heart." "Uncle Bobby would you call Mitch for me and ask if he'd come over?" "Of course." Early in the morning John Ross sends the dogs into the marsh to scare up a flock of birds. He then takes aim and shoots, one and then another. Jack sends the retrievers in. Liam lays with An An says, "This might just change everything. If the Ewing's pull this off they'll be able hide giant sums of money all over the world. If they don't, some of them will be dead, Latin America will drift further and further into the hands of some very bad people and Jock Ewing's murder will forever go unavenged." Lucy lies asleep on the sofa in Mitch's arms. Alone Rebecca rides her horse. Emily lies naked on her back with the very young Philip on top of her. She moans and encourages him to continue. Her hands holding tight to his shoulders. John Ross and Pamela play freeze tag in the yard with the kids. Beau and Mateo make it up to the roof of the embassy where a group of Apache helicopters arrive, escorting American employees. They're the last to crowd on and take off. Below the city burns. They maneuver out of the way of surface to air missiles, using flares to escape being their targets. They in turn fire rockets at key positions and make their way away from the city. A helicopter lands at an encampment far away from the city. Mateo and Beau step down out of it, greeted by the same man that greeted Chris and Juan. Mateo yells over the sound of the engine winding down, "Luis Cedeno is in place as President. He's holding several cities and command of the most of the military. Soon as things settle down, he'll be able to hold an election. He's the only national figure left standing in your country so stands to reason he'll pull this off. How's Mr. Ewing?" "He's doing fine. They all are." "The country needs to believe they're dead a while longer. It's helping Cedeno to fuel the flames of corruption." "It stirred up a lot more when US war ships showed up and a US Congressman to investigate. There are a lot of people inside the country hoping for opportunity as well." "Well they'll get it. They just got to temper it to make sure they don't get a second backlash." "Which is why we need people like Mr. Ewing here to build up our oil infrastructure." Patting him on his back Mateo says, "It'll happen. Don't you worry. It'll happen." John Ross rides up to where Bobby looks over the herd. "Looking good aren't they." "Sure do. Can't believe Chris sold it all to you for a boat." "Well you'll have to check out the boat. It's pretty unbelievable." "Oh I imagine." "I got a text from Mateo. C D W." "What's the suppose to mean?" "Chris Doing Well." "The whole county's falling apart." "True but it needed a good shaking up. They're sitting on all that oil and their lives should be much better off than they are." "Just a lot of risk for some oil." Chris walks into a room with Mateo. An old man sits in a chair. Chris says, "So I'm told you're the one that had by grandpa's plane brought down." The man answers, "That American delegation back in the early '80's?" "With Jock Ewing." "Yes I remember it. They came down here to help in a revolution and get at out oil." "Something this time we seem to have pulled off." "We'll see. Mr Ewing left her feeling pretty confident too and look what happened to him." "No. You won't see the out come." Chris takes a gun from behind and shoots the man in the head. "That's for Jock Ewing." [/QUOTE]
