"Previously on Dallas..." "Believe you and me, Barnes' plan is personal!" "J.R., help me find a way to bring him down." "Don't you worry little brother, it's gonna be my masterpiece." "Got a plan, 'cause you shouldn't have to pay for my sins." "J.R.?" "When I was miss Texas and I met J.R.," "I fell in love." "It was enough to drive a girl to drink." "I brought you a message." "From J.R." ""If you're reading this, it means I'm dead."" "And if I'm dead, that means Barnes is coming after you."" "Help me take down the Ewings." "Since you lost your junkyard dog, there's nothing keeping me from taking your family down." "We stick with the plan." "We take Cliff down by taking his company." "With our combined shares, you are now the minority shareholder in your own company." "What the hell's going on?" "Two slugs were found in J.R.'s chest cavity, which match a gun registered to you." "Can't you see that this is a frame-up?" "I didn't kill J.R.!" "I didn't kill J.R.!" "Don't you think it's about time you tell us what really happened to J.R.?" "I shot your father, John Ross." "He only had a few days left, and he asked me to do it." "Please believe... that J.R.'s last act was an act of love." "Cliff wants to see you." "He wants you to go to the jail in Nuevo Laredo." "I know a lot about your family's land." "J.R. had paid somebody to switch the deeds." "Make the Ewings pay for their sins against your family." "I'm here to see Joaquín." "Please tell him Elena Ramos needs to see him." " Harris Ryland, you're under arrest." " For what?" " For drug trafficking." " On what evidence?" "Your little book that shows every deal you did with the Mendez-Ochoa cartel." "I got what you wanted, John Ross." "I knew you'd come through." "That look's gonna cost you." "Trust me, I'm willing to pay the price." "Just... don't tell my wife." "Well, we did it." "We finally won." "So, I'm the caretaker now, huh, mama?" "I'm the only one left." "Well, I'll try not to disappoint you." "How do I look?" "It looks good on you." "But better on me." "Well, you are gonna need your hat if you go for your morning ride." "Oh, yeah?" "Giddy-up, sweetheart." "Let me make it better." "That is a beautiful thing." "Wait." "What?" "You are a divining rod for blackmail." "Exactly what we were looking for... your grandmother's power of attorney giving control of Ryland Transport to your father." "Or to me should he become incapacitated." "Nothing says incapacitated like a 20-year prison term." "Well, what else is in here?" "Now that I've given you access to the dark side, miss new C.E.O..." "I need something from you." "I need control of Ryland Transport's new drilling ships and ice-breaking cargo ships at a fair price, of course." "It'll be good for both our companies." "You know, my father would burst an artery letting a Ewing through the front door of Ryland Transport." "That's exactly my point." "Mine, too." "Now, darling, you wouldn't even know this existed if I didn't tell you about it." "Be that as it may, John Ross..." "I let you look... but you certainly can't keep it." "John Ross." "Did you get the accordion file like J.R. wanted you to?" "Yeah." "Emma's holding onto it." "That gonna be a problem for you?" "Nah, I like a challenge... especially one that looks like her." "Don't get too cocky." "Emma Ryland put her own father in jail." "Ah." "She did us a favor." "Don't you worry about me, bum." "I'm not gonna do anything to jeopardize the love of a good woman waiting for me at Southfork." "There's one more thing your daddy wanted you to have." "You've earned this." "So, what is it?" "What's what?" "7:00 sharp, you said to meet you in the middle of Southfork at the old hay barn." "I'm expecting a big surprise." "So, what is it?" "It's just the first time of the year you can see the lover's cross." "I wanted you to see it." "And I want to give you this under those stars." "This?" "That's the reason why I had to go to Houston last night... had to get you the biggest diamond in Texas." "John Ross." "I didn't do it right when we eloped." "Since mama wants to give us a proper wedding, you deserve a proper ring and a proper proposal." "Will you marry me, Pamela?" "I can't promise it'll be smooth sailing." "But I can promise you that I'll give you the ride of your life." "Yes." "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" "All right, so, right here's where we're gonna blow out the wall, extend the kitchen another 30 feet, and then build the new wings in both directions." "We're remodeling Southfork?" "Can you guys give me a couple minutes?" "Sure." "Thanks." "Now that I'm living here, Uncle Bobby," "I thought the house could use a facelift." "I actually found J.R.'s old plans for Southfork, so I thought I'd put them to use... bring this place up to the modern standards of luxury." "It's about time we started living like the rich folk that we are." "We've lived well enough here for several generations." "Are you telling me you don't think our ancestors would appreciate a three-story atrium?" "Or a... billiard room the size of a saloon?" "Or an indoor pool?" "I remember Miss Ellie enjoying a dip every now and then." "John Ross, I am not going to let you turn Southfork into a monument to you and your father's self-indulgence." "You seriously like us all living under one roof with our floors and walls touching?" "Hell, Uncle Bobby, I'm a newlywed." "Thought you would at least appreciate a little more privacy." "You want privacy, John Ross?" "Move out." "This house and its history is what grounds us as a family." "It's our roots." "It's about time you learned to respect the past, boy." "The past is what holds us back, Uncle Bobby, just like that feud with Barnes we just got over." "But regardless of how you feel, since miss Ellie left me half of Southfork, there's really nothing you can do about me remodeling it." "Now, if you don't mind," "I'm gonna go talk to the architect about putting in a... an elevator." "Hmm." "You've been talking to Drew?" "Christopher, he's my brother." "He killed my babies!" "You were the one person I thought I could trust." "Christopher." "Please, let's talk about this." "There's nothing left to talk about!" "When I get back here, you better be gone." "You love Elena." "You have always loved Elena." "Don't hold on to your anger the way my father held on to his." "J.R. had switched the deeds." "J.R. got the parcel that belonged to your dad, which was rich in oil, and your dad got his, which was worthless." "Be my proxy for the third of Barnes Global that I still own." "Make the Ewings pay for their sins against your family." "I don't like you." "You're scheming." "But I researched the land records." "What you told me is true." "J.R. switched my father's land with a worthless deed." "This betrayal cost my father his life." "I came back here to accept your offer to be your proxy at Barnes Global." "Good." "I spent my life building that company." "I'd be loathe to think that the Ewings could destroy it before I get out of prison." " You're getting out?" " Yeah." " And you're gonna help me." " Why would I do that?" "Because you want to hold real power over that family." "And to do that, you need leverage... leverage in the way of evidence that they framed me for J.R.'s murder." "My plane, without me in it, was moved to Nuevo Laredo the night that J.R. was killed." "And that American woman in Nuevo Laredo, the dancer..." "Rhonda..." "Simmons or something." "You know, she lied to say that I was in the club when I wasn't." "And the gun that killed J.R." "They stole out of my locker at the gun range." "Together, we can take back Barnes Global and then Southfork, take from them what's most important... what they took from us." "But I need to know that you have the strength... to exact revenge." "They kicked me out of a company I helped start." "They took away my oil leases." "They accused me of helping my brother when they would have done the same to help their own, and now all this?" "I'll find the strength... 'cause I'm not thinking of this as revenge." "I am thinking of this as justice." "Damn it, Heather, when I say be back in 20 minutes, I mean 20 minutes." " I had to hose off the cattle." " I don't give a damn what you're doing." "When I give you a job, I need you to jump." "Do you understand me?" "The cattle are already stressing." "I got this, mister." "You want to explain to Bobby Ewing why the cattle are dropping, just so you can run roughshod over me?" "I don't think so." "You need to grow up." "Stop trying to control me, 'cause I'm not gonna jump when you say "jump"..." "Not again." "Have a nice freaking day." "You want to say something?" "I think you got it handled." "Thank you." "Christopher Ewing." "I'm, uh, Heather." "Christopher." "Sorry about that, Mr. Ewing." "It's not a problem." "Hey, listen, uh... you can come to me if he gives you any trouble again." "I was the only girl in a house of four brothers." "I think I can handle the likes of him." "But, uh... thank you." "You got it." "J.R.'s watch and his belt buckle." "You wear them well." "Your father would be proud." "And I'm proud of you, too." "And I'm especially proud of the way you're treating your new wife." "I like her, John Ross." "She's been through a lot." "She deserves to be happy now." "Couldn't agree more." "Good." "I spoke to, uh, Bobby, and I think, uh, your delivery could be better sometimes." "Oh, mama, Bobby was gonna explode no matter how I brought up expanding this place." "Don't underestimate your Uncle." "He's a steel hand in a velvet glove." "Bobby bettered J.R. more often than he should have because J.R. underestimated him." "You're better than your father was." "I just don't want you to make the mistake." "Daddy may have lost more than his share." "But then, again..." "Daddy didn't have you as an ally." "It's just so... big." "You think it's too much?" "Not at all." "I want you to know how glad I am that you're letting me plan a proper wedding for you and John Ross." "I would have felt cheated if I couldn't have the family to celebrate and bless your marriage." "Well, I was worried John Ross would object to the fuss of a big wedding." "That ring says otherwise." "To be honest, I was feeling a little shy about having another wedding here at Southfork." "Oh, trust me, you won't be the first bride to have had multiple weddings here." "After everything that happened with my father and..." "losing the babies, I..." "I didn't think I'd find happiness again." "Happiness found you, and that's the best kind of happiness." "Thank you." "We were all just admiring Pamela's engagement ring." "Have you seen it?" "Wow." "It's beautiful." "Thank you." "Oh, you guys are wedding planning!" "Do you want some help?" "Yes, that would be really nice." "We're looking for dresses, so flag any ones you like." "Elena." "You came back." "I know that a lot of terrible things happened to this family because of my brother, and I am so sorry." "And I'm sorry for the part that I played in that and for all the lies and the hurt that followed." "My brother was in a lot of trouble, and I was just trying to help him." "I wasn't thinking straight." "I hope you all accept my profound apology... especially you, Pamela... and you, Christopher." "Can we talk?" "I'm sorry, Christopher." "I'm sorry that I lied." "I'm sorry that I just..." " Did you get my messages?" " I did." "I couldn't face your calls." "I had to go clear my head." "You know, I've had some time to think about all the things we said in Zurich... all the things I said." "I was angry, Elena." "And with everything that was going on with my mother and what your brother had done," "I was out of control and cruel, instead of trying to hear your side." "Look." "I want to try to make things work with us." "You said you never wanted to see me again." "You... you threw me out of that hotel room." "I know." "I'm sorry." "Do you know what I think?" "I think we're both still broken." "I think we need to take some time to fix what's broken in us before we can know if this is right." "I only came back to Southfork to pack." "Elena, you've lived here since you were 9 years old." "We've always been friends." "There's no need for you to move out." " Christopher..." " Please..." "Just stay on the ranch." "It's your home, too." "Thank you." "Yeah." " Mija." " Oh, mama." "Ah, I am so glad you're home!" "I know." "Me, too." "Me, too." "So, what did that Cliff Barnes want, hmm?" "Did he tell you why he sent you the deed to your father's land?" "No, Cliff Barnes is a sad, delusional old man who just wanted to rail against the Ewings." "I went down there for nothing." "He's just trying to stir the pot after getting caught for what he did to J.R." "I saw Drew, mama." "He sent you this." " You sure he's okay?" " Yeah." "He got to Joaquín's safely, he's working with Joaquín, and he's keeping busy." "Mama..." "Joaquín, Drew, and I made a pact that we would take care of each other for life." "Joaquín will not break his word to Drew... ever." "The three musketeers, you all were." "And, you, the most protective demanding I take Joaquín in." "Ay, the look on your father's face when I told him the homeless boy selling chiclets on the corner was coming home to stay..." "And you took him in... just like a son." "Because he was a good person... just like you." "Now and then." "So, nothing's changed with you and Christopher?" "Um... things are better." "We talked." "We both apologized." "But we're gonna take a little break." "It's the right thing." "The Ewings have been very kind to me since finding out what Drew did." "They're good people, too, Elena." "They're still after him, mom." "After you read that letter, you have to burn it." "And these are all of the locations of the possible sites." "So, which one of the arctic leases are we gonna try and buy?" "All of them." "But they're the biggest suppliers of oil and methane in the world." "That's right." "The next great energy frontier, mama." "And Ewing Global is in the unique position to buy all of these leases because Ewing Global's in the unique position to drill both oil and methane thanks to my cousin." "Don't get ahead of yourself, son." "Before we can bid, we need ice-breaking ships." "Yeah." "Which..." "I've already negotiated from Ryland Transport." " Ryland Transport?" " Wait." "What?" "Even with Ryland in jail, he'd leave instructions never to do business with us." "You know I can be persuasive, Uncle Bobby." "And in this case, the new C.E.O. of Ryland Transport was... very persuaded to do a deal with Ewing Global." "In that case, we are one step closer, John Ross." "We're all working together." "That's what counts." "And don't think I don't appreciate you not holding a grudge about me remodeling, Uncle Bobby." "Well, we can make it all work." "You know, having you around is sort of like having J.R. back in my life." "I had to learn to roll with him." "I can learn with you." "We are family." "Well, then the only thing left in order to get our seat at the auction table is to come up with that half-a-billion-dollars capital to back our bid." " Is that all?" " Well, since the Southfork oil we're slant-drilling from the Henderson ranch is going to pay off debt, we've been looking into Barnes Global assets to sell, and the one sector that seems ripe is the consumer division." " Elena." " I'm..." "I'm sorry to disturb you." "I..." "I should have asked the receptionist to tell you I was here." "No, it's... it's fine." "What's going on?" "I know I no longer have a piece of this company, and..." "I don't want one, but I do think I have a lot to offer in the field of energy." "I guess what I'm asking for is a job." "I thought you were drilling your father's ranch." "That land's dry, Sue Ellen." "I've finally come to terms with that." "I'm truly sorry, Elena." "Of course, I will defer to Christopher's wishes if he or if any of you feel awkward about my working here." "We don't." "Well, then... welcome to Ewing Global." "Come on." "I'll show you what we're doing." "Okay." " Yeah?" " They just hired me." "I'm in." "Oh, but that's cute." "Hello, everybody." "You look like the cat that just swallowed a canary, Uncle Bobby." "More like I just sold one." "I just got off the phone with Conagra." "They're very interested in buying our consumer division, and they'll have a bid to us by the end of the week." " Seriously?" " Absolutely." "Damn, we really are gonna be bigger than exxon and BP combined." "I'll get Jill to get us some champagne to celebrate." " Sir, Mr. Ewing is in a meeting." " What about Sue Ellen?" " Sorry." "Is there something I can help you with?" " No, I..." "I don't think so." " Excuse me." " Sir, you can't go in there." "Sir!" "Mr. Ewing, I'm sorry." "It's all right." "It's all right, Jill." "Can I do something for you?" "I'm Bobby Ewing." "I know who you are who all of you are." "So, let me just introduce myself." "My name is Nicolas Treviño, and I'm here on behalf of Cliff Barnes to act as his proxy." "His proxy?" "Cliff still owns 1/3 of this company, and your changing the name to Ewing Global doesn't change that fact." "He can own his shares." "Doesn't matter." "This family is majority stockholder." "Yes, however... state law supercedes your corporate bylaws." "And state law requires a super majority to approve the sale of any substantial assets." "Your family doesn't have a super majority." "So, let me make it crystal-clear for you that no sector of Barnes Global will ever be sold." "Cliff Barnes would rather destroy this company" " than see the Ewings profit from it." " That's insane." "Not to a man who's been betrayed by your family like Cliff has." "Now..." "I'm not here to fight." "In fact, I would very much like to get along with each and every one of you, make my time in Dallas fun while it lasts, as I'm only here until Cliff is a free man." "Cliff Barnes will never be a free man." "He murdered J.R." "He says he was framed, Sue Ellen." "And in all my dealings with Cliff," "I've never seen him lose a fight he was determined to win... and win it fast." "So, what was on the agenda this morning?" "Treviño is gone." "What the hell is Cliff up to, and can he really get away with this?" "All right, thank you." "Our legal department received a letter from my father's lawyer this morning, giving his proxy to Nicolas Treviño." "As for the super majority, our lawyer has never seen the statute invoked, but it does exist." "Damn it." "What did you find, Christopher?" "He's a Mexican billionaire, financier, and tycoon." "It says here, at 18 with nothing to his name, he won $10,000 off a $2 bet at a horse race and invested it in a small pharmaceutical company, built his empire by introducing low-cost generic drugs" "to Latin America and Africa." "I never heard my father mention him before, but I checked our database... in 2008, he sold his telecommunication interest in Brazil for $800 million to Barnes Global." "If we're gonna get business done, we have got to control him." "Find a way to compromise him." "Make him an ally." "We got deadlines breathing down our neck, mama." " Finding somebody's Achilles' heel takes time." " We don't have a choice." "Elena, set a meeting with the bureau of Ocean Energy Management." "We'll present our plan, see if they'll push back the auction to buy us some time." "You got it." "We'll figure this out." "Treviño said that Cliff was planning on getting out of jail." "If Cliff can prove anything against us, it'll land us behind bars." " And... and if Pamela or sue Ellen find out..." " Christopher." "There are no loose ends." "You sure?" "Carlos del sol and bum... and I made sure, yes." "Let's hope so." "Rough day?" "Just my father causing more trouble." "I know about that." "Hey, I'm not the only girl in the room to have put her father behind bars." " What are the odds?" " Well, I guess we need to stick together, then." "Hey, if you ever need to talk," "I just want you to know I'm here." "You're really nice, you know that?" "I can see why John Ross loves you so much." "It's good to know you're both right across the hall." "Have a good night." "Well, I ran into a dead end." "I spoke to the head of the department of ocean energy management, and there's no way to move the arctic auction date." "I've been racking my brain all afternoon on how to raise more capital." " You remember that shale formation under Southfork?" " Of course." " Bobby's never gonna let you drill it." " Take a look at this." "Now, the seismic shows that it's risen to the surface rights." "Now, if that's the case," "Bobby has no say whether I drill it or not." "Look, nobody knows the oil under Southfork better than you do." "I need to know if what I'm seeing is right." "Oh, my God." "Those arctic leases are the holy grail." "I'll do anything I can to help you get them." "Well, the shale deposit's over there, just on the other side of the cattle." "John Ross, what did you drag us out here for?" "You want to show me where you're putting in your new helipad and the polo field?" "We need the capital to buy those arctic leases." "I know how we can get it." "Drill the shale deposit on Southfork." "Now, I can get it producing in time to meet the bidding deadline." "John Ross..." "Gary and I still own 2/3 of the mineral rights." "You don't have a play here, boy." "Actually, Uncle Bobby, I do." "See, that formation has a rise in it up into the surface rights, which I own half of." "I don't need your permission or Gary's." "I'm telling you one last time... there's no drilling on Southfork." "Come on, John Ross." "To get to that shale, you're gonna have to frack." "Our whole cattle operation's in this section." "You'll shut it down, put all the hands out of work." "Besides, Cliff might be squeezing us now, but this is what he wants..." "us turning against each other." "Look, we will find a way to turn Treviño." "We'll make him a better deal." "Or if Cliff has something on him, we'll find it and we'll use it." "But one way or another, we will take back control." "That sounds like a wild goose chase that we don't have the time for, and I'm not gonna let this arctic deal slip through our fingers." "I'm fracking." "I stopped J.R. I stopped you once." "You're not half the man your daddy was." "Christopher." "I was thinking, I'm gonna need contracts asap on those tankers you're giving me..." "Miss C.E.O." "What's the rush?" "That old coot Cliff Barnes... he's trying to throw a wrench in my plans." "I'm gonna need those drill ships and tankers... guaranteed." "And how are you gonna... pay for this rush service?" "Well, one good service deserves another..." "Without rushing..." "Of course." "What's the matter, mama?" "You look like you just seen a ghost." "I, um... for a moment, I thought I had." "Um, I was looking for you before going home." "You know you have my full support in the shale play, John Ross." "As I counseled Bobby to be reasonable with you," "I'm also counseling you to be reasonable with Bobby." "He's a good man." "And we'll all be stronger together, fighting Treviño, than apart." "Don't worry so much, mama." "I got this taken care of." "Isn't that Emma's room?" "Yeah." "Yeah, she's the one I made the deal with to get the Ryland tankers for the arctic play." "She's got more power than she realized over there at Ryland Transport now that her daddy's in jail." "I just wanted to make sure we nailed down the contracts before anything else goes wrong." "You were very expensive to ransom from the Texas lawmen, Mr. Ryland." "You're welcome." "Your daughter... make sure she doesn't get it into her head to punish you again." "And if your trucks don't deliver our product within 24 hours, we'll have to teach your daughter a lesson." "And when we're done... she will want to kill herself." "Joaquín." "My name's been Nicolas for about 20 years now." "Time you got used to calling me that." "I'll try." "I know the last couple of days must have been hard for you." "You're not used to lying, but you owe it to your family to see your plan through." "Your father was the only father I ever knew, Elena." "So there's blood in this for me, too." "It's just there's no turning back." "Let's eat." "Thank you." "J.R. Ewing killed your father as surely as if he had pulled the trigger... worse." "Shooting your father would have been kind." "J.R. robbed your father of his will to live by robbing him of his dream." "If the Ewings framed Cliff for J.R.'s murder, then they're also criminals." "Barnes did well choosing you as his proxy, and I'll be right by your side." "He gave me use of one of his penthouses, so I'll be moving to Dallas for as long as you need me." "Do you, um, remember... the day you gave me this?" "That day, you brought me home." "I've always felt that my destiny began that day." "You saved my life when I was a boy, and now it's my turn." "We will get justice for your family... for our family." "Trust me." "Okay?"
