"Previously on "Dallas"..." "It would be in everyone's best interest, for you to start pumping oil immediately." "Tell your Uncle he'd better get Vicente's oil or next time, we'll kill you." "We're gonna have to start pumping oil here on Southfork." "At least until John Ross is safe." "The Venezuelans want oil?" "Well, I can give them something better... methane, exclusive South American rights instead of the oil that you were promised from Southfork." "Turns out we're not so different after all." "We're both just trying to make our fathers proud." "I'm going to be the next governor of Texas." "You could be the next chief medical examiner." "People like me, we need to make sure that people like you get into office." "Frank Ashkani." "I'm Mr. Bond's driver." "I need you to do a little digging on Ashkani." "Just find out who he really is." "We're gonna be parents." "I want to let it go, Rebecca." "All of it." "I need to be sure that there are no more secrets." "There aren't." "Aah!" "Are you so deep in this lie that you still think we're brother and sister?" "Because if you don't steal me that technology," "I'm gonna tell Christopher everything." "Have you seen my other boot anywhere?" "Uh..." "Does it look like this?" "Very funny." "Thank you." "Aw, you're bleeding." "I know you're thinking, "how did I get so lucky to snag this guy?" Aren't you?" "No." "I'm thinking what a son of a bitch J.R. Is." "How'd he get into this?" "If he hadn't used the Venezuelans to bankroll him buying Southfork, you wouldn't have been anywhere near marta when she died, so you wouldn't have been in jail." "It's a little more complicated than that." "Don't defend him." "He got you into this mess." "He didn't do anything to get you out." "Christopher had to." "And I appreciate it." "All right?" "But I never asked him to use the gas rights to pay the Venezuelans." "He only did it to stop Bobby from drilling on Southfork." "Bobby was gonna drill?" "He swore that he would never allow that to happen while he was still breathing." "He was afraid you'd be killed in jail." "Yep?" "Okay, I'll be right there." "They hit a salt dome at the Henderson well." "I have to go." "Bye." "There's definitely two of them in there." "They look squished." "Thanks for coming with me." "Of course I'd come." "I'm their father." "What?" "Nothing." "I can't expect you to forget everything I've done overnight." "But that's what you want." "Yeah." "Rebecca." "It's gonna take time to get back to where we were." "But we're making our own family now." "And that's what really matters." "Oh, my God." "Check it out." "Come on." "You and papa bear have a nice day out?" "How did you get in here?" "!" "I changed the locks." "You're gonna have to work a lot harder on getting me the plans to Christopher's gas-extraction rig." "You're a master thief." "Do it yourself." "He put computer locks with smart-card access to all of the lab doors." "Get me his key card, and I will." "Why can't you just leave me alone?" "!" "Because my buyer will only wait so long." "You finally do this, and maybe I'll give you a piece." "I don't want any money." "Right." "You're all about the love now, hmm?" "Yeah... something you're incapable of." "Not what you used to say." "Aah!" "Aah!" "Tell me the truth." "He's not as good as me, right?" "Get off of me!" "Get off!" "Shh, shh, shh." "You're gonna wake the babies." "Aah!" "Oh, my God." "I'm so sorry." "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to do that." "The plans to Christopher's rig, or I put a bullet in your little fairytale." "♪ ♪ Theme music plays ♪ ♪" "move the 4-h lunch." "The ladies like to have afternoon tea." "What else?" "Harris?" "W-what a..." "Lovely surprise." "What brings you to this neck of the woods?" "I just wanted to be the first to congratulate our new governor on her poll numbers." "I appreciate your confidence, but it's a bit too premature for that." "Well, everybody loves a mother who sticks by her son." "I got you a little gift." "I remember you being a fan of a nice burgundy." "Uh, thank you, Sam." "I haven't touched a drop in 20 years." "Did you ever wonder why I put so much money into your campaign?" "Because you knew of all the good I would do for the people of Texas." "Ah, hell." "Other candidates could have done that." "What set you apart was your malleability to my needs." "I knew sooner or later you'd screw up." "It wasn't a matter of "if." It was "when."" "I have no idea what you're talking about." "Well, John Ross didn't need your help getting out of jail." "So threatening and bribing my good friend the medical examiner was pointless." "As governor, when dealing with people," "I'd suggest more carrot, less stick." "But you're right." "You have done a lot for Dallas." "When you're elected, you can do a whole lot more." "What do you want?" "Well, I just need to borrow your campaign pac for a little bit to clean some money for one of my less public businesses." "I'll return your contribution today." "Now, you could." "But what you can't do... is take back that bribe offer." "Now, you can do me this little favor or you can be disgraced and arrested, wiping out all that goodwill that you've earned over the last 20 years." "Get out of my office." "I'll let you think on it." "Might want to let that breathe." "Frank, my friend." "You want a drink?" "I want the plans for the gas-extraction rig you keep promising me." "Yeah, here's the thing about that... shh." "Stop speaking." "Against my better judgment, I believed you could get them." "You'll get the plans, but I want more money." "Twice what we negotiated." "Now, why would I do that?" "Because exxon thinks they're worth it." "And you don't have any other play to get them." "You're half-right..." "Which is half more than usual." "But don't call me again until you have them." "One day." "That's definitely a salt dome." "Yeah, and the original wellbore's obstructed." "Okay, so we sidetrack out of the wellbore and come at the producing zone at an angle." "We don't have the equipment to slant-drill, unless you have a mud motor in your back pocket." "I could do better than that." "I got a friend with a drilling rig with rotary steerable and kick pads." "I love it when you talk all technical." "And once we get done with this play," "I'll just drive the bit on over to this one." "Can't." "Why not?" "That's the property line, and that oil reservoir is under Southfork." "This is the Henderson drilling pad." "This is the eastern end of the oil under Southfork." "These are the seismics we drew before we drilled section 18." "Now, we can drill from the Henderson rig down and under the ranch, could get greater contact with the productive area of the oil than going vertical." "Slant-drill Southfork." "Yes, sir." "Horizontal... twice as costly as going vertical." "But it can be 20 times as effective." "This is a way to get the oil without ever having to go against what you promised miss Ellie." "And the more that you pump, the faster you can pay off the loan to Southfork and get it back from the venezuelans." "You got to be kidding me." "I agree to pay off your debt, keep you from getting killed in jail, and how do you thank me?" "Bottle of scotch?" "Christopher... just hear us out." "A steak dinner?" "No, you figure out a way to steal Southfork oil." "No." "That is not what's going on here." "Your cousin is trying to figure out a way to get your gas rights back from the venezuelans." "By making himself rich?" "I'll pass." "Great." "Give away your future." "Why should I care?" "John Ross, just hold on a minute." "No, no." "Let him save his own ass." "All right, now!" "That's it!" "Just stop it!" "This family is in trouble!" "And we need to work together to get out of it!" "Now sit down!" "Both of you!" "If I have to sit you down, son, I will." "All right, now." "Where was I?" "You were threatening to kick our ass." "Okay." "Both of you..." "You both... you okay, Uncle Bobby?" "My eyes." "Dad!" "Dad!" "Call 911." "I'll go get Ann." "I can't feel my face." "You're gonna be okay." "We need an ambulance at Southfork Ridge right now." "Please hurry." "It's gonna be okay, dad." "He's right here." "Thank you." "How is he?" "Just woke up." "He's talking." "They said it was some kind of brain seizure." "Oh, my God." "What could it have been?" "Could it have been a..." "we don't know." "They're, uh..." "they're running tests." "The doctor should be here soon, so I should go back in." "Okay." "I'm gonna stick around, okay?" "Thanks." "You had started to ask if the seizure was caused by something." "Christopher cut you off." "Caused by what?" "Bobby has cancer." "They removed a tumor from his stomach, but they said it could spread." "Why didn't anyone tell me?" "Wh... why didn't you tell me?" "Bobby asked me not to." "He thought that if you knew about his cancer, you and J.R. Would use it against him to get Southfork." "I'll be back." "What's up?" "Find my father." "You know, I would if I could, but when J.R. Wants to get gone..." "I've never kicked an old man's ass, but today's as good a day as any." "Tell him his brother's dying." "Has the cancer spread to his brain?" "No." "Bobby's still cancer-free." "Then what caused the seizure?" "A cerebral aneurysm." "How did I get that?" "Congenital weakness." "Your chemotherapy treatments have also spiked your blood pressure higher than we expected." "What do we do next?" "Well, right now, we sit tight, see how he responds to the medicine, let him rest a few days, get his strength back, then we can operate." "Why can't we operate now?" "Well, it's a delicate procedure." "Significant risks." "We'll have much better odds once we get his blood pressure down." "Christopher, get my clothes." "What?" "Where the hell do you think you're going?" "You heard the doctor, honey." "They can't operate for a while." "I'm going home." "Dad... dad, you have to stay here." "Can you please tell him to stop being an idiot?" "Bobby, listen to me." "I know I can't keep you here, but if you leave and that aneurysm bursts, you got a 30% chance of being dead before you even hit the ground." "Understood." "Now where's my clothes?" " Bobby." " Dad." "Annie, if I stay caged up in here, it will raise my blood pressure." "Now, I won't do anything stupid." "We can get a nurse." "We can get hospital equipment and an ambulance to stand by." "And why can't you just stay here?" "If it's really my time to go..." "I don't want to be surrounded by strangers." "Oh." "Ah, he's resting." "But it's been a long night." "Is this where he slept all night?" "In case Bobby needed him." "Mrs. Ewing?" "Mr. Ewing is awake, and he wants to do things." "I'll be right back." "Yeah." "Hey." "Hi." "What are you doing here?" "Oh, um, Ann called about Bobby." "I thought maybe... uh, that came out wrong." "I'm glad you came." "How's he doing?" "He's, uh..." "He's doing okay." "You mind if I try?" "Sure." "Oh, it's... that's okay." "No, really, it's... no, I totally understand if..." "Rebecca, it's okay." "Oh, wow." "How's that feel?" "It feels good." "I need some help with your father." "I'll be right back." "Okay." "Is he okay?" "Yeah, he's just not..." "Get me his key card... or I put a bullet in your little fairytale." "It's not like I want to go rope a steer or something." "I just want to take a walk." "I'm going nuts in this bed." "Here." "What's this for?" "I want you to leave a message to the grandchildren you're never gonna meet explaining to them how you would have loved to have been a part of their lives, but you can't 'cause you're dead." "No, stop it!" "I mean it!" "You can't go in there!" "Carmen, this is my home." "I can go anyplace I want." "Ah, you take a little vacation, everything falls apart." "Hello, J.R. Get out!" "Now, just calm down, darlin'." "Don't you darlin' me..." "this is your fault!" "Get out!" "I don't see how it's my fault." "Well, of course you don't." "You're a sociopath!" "Well, there's no need to call names!" "You know what?" "Since you're too stupid to figure it out," "I'll make it clear." "You're not welcome at Southfork." "I own the deed to this ranch, and the man in that room is my baby brother." "Until those two things change, I'm not going anywhere." "If I catch you anywhere near Bobby's room, I'll shoot you!" "And since you have no heart, it'll be somewhere more vital." "Damn woman's out of her mind." "He's a piece of work." "Yeah, well, that's just what makes J.R. J.R." "Can I get you anything?" "What I want, no." "No, you can't get." "Try me." "Peace in this family." "You did everything you could, dad." "No." "No, I screwed up." "If I hadn't have sold Southfork, you wouldn't have had to give away a piece of your future." "I'm sorry about that." "Where's my father?" "Ann chased him back into his room." "That's not the only reason I called." "I'm not gonna fight you on slant-drilling under Southfork anymore." "I'm glad you're finally being reasonable." "Reason's got nothing to do with it." "The only way you get to drill is if you get J.R." "To sign the Southfork deed back over to my father." "He doesn't need the deed to drill." "He has the mineral rights." "It's not about that." "Okay?" "It's about giving my father some peace of mind, in case he..." "There's no way on earth that J.R.'S gonna give up Southfork." "You know that." "Here's what I know." "You keep saying you want to fix the damage you've done." "I know you love your father." "But your whole life, my father was there for you when J.R. Wasn't." "The John Ross that I used to know loved my father." "And if any of that person is still inside of you, you'll do whatever it takes to get Southfork back for him." "I'm not signing over Southfork to anybody." "The thing we should be concentrating on is a little payback to the boys who did that to you." "It's a little late for that." "Lucky for me, I had Uncle Bobby to get me out of that situation." "Well, I got here as soon as I heard." "Hmm." "Southfork is useless to you without the mineral rights." "Now, Uncle Bobby has agreed to drill." "Once the Venezuelans are paid off, your piece of that oil, it'll get you back on top." "Christopher already agreed to pay off the venezuelans with his gas rights." "What's gotten into you, anyhow?" "A little decency." "They should not have to clean up after our mess." "Haven't we put Uncle Bobby through enough?" "!" "You're confusing emotion with business." "This land is finally mine like it should have been all along." "I'm so damn tired of hearing about your birthright." "What did you say?" "Can't you just let it go?" "Southfork isn't just a piece of dirt." "It's as much a part of me as my blood and my bones." "And I've paid a hell of a price for it." "I thought you of all the people in the world would understand that." "You'd better look for a new place to live." "I'm too old to have a roommate." "Elena, is Bobby all right?" "That's on stand-by, in case." "How is he?" "Other than driving Ann crazy, he's... he's doing fine." "Where are you going?" "J.R. Wants his room back." "He's here?" "!" "Yeah." "What happened?" "Christopher agreed to let us slant-drill Southfork as long as J.R. Signed the deed over." "We finally got what we always wanted, but he's being pig-headed and selfish." "That's so unlike J.R." "I don't know why you're so surprised." "This is who your father has always been." "This is who he'll always be." "I spent my entire life missing him, wanting to be with him, wanting to him." "He's J.R. Ewing." "I always thought if I was more like him that he'd be proud of me." "That would be enough." "But it isn't." "I love my father." "But he's so lost in... lost in his own anger and bitter... bitterness..." "There's no room for anybody else." "Sue Ellen." "You gotta help me get in to see Bobby." "Wife number three is at the door, and she's packing heat." "You leave a path of destruction everywhere you go..." "Bobby, me, John Ross." "Bobby and I are used to it." "But you are done destroying our son's life." "Is this about me giving away Southfork?" "It's about your whole life." "The depression that put you into that nursing home happened because all you really cared about was you being on top." "And when it all fell apart, you realized..." "You had nothing." "Well, I'm back, honey." "And I'm gonna be bigger than ever." "And you still have nothing." "He called me "wife number three"?" "That's when I slapped him." "That deserves a muffin." "What's the matter?" "Harris knows I..." "Bribed the medical examiner to try to get John Ross out of jail." "And he's blackmailing you." "He wants me to launder money." "What are you gonna do?" "No, there has to be a way out of this, sue Ellen." "We just have to think." "I would have made a good governor, don't you think?" "You would have been a great governor." "Mr. Bobby wants to see you." "Miss Ann is gone." "I'll be right outside, Mr. Ewing." "Thank you." "You could have told me about the cancer." "Slipped my mind." "I guess I was too busy trying to undo all the damage you caused." "Okay, I admit I have lapses where I do wrong now and then." "No, J.R...." "Your lapses aren't when you do wrong." "Your lapses are when you do right." "You're like the scorpion who said to the frog," ""it's just in my nature."" "Well, are you happy with your doctor?" "'Cause I've given a truckload of money to the U.T. Medical school." "J.R., I love you." "No matter what." "You remember that." "Now, my memory's not what it used to be, either." "You're just gonna have to keep telling me." "Nobody lives forever." "Well, I'm not gonna stand here and listen to you write your obituary." "If you have something to say to me, you say it when they get that thing fixed in your head." "Can you imagine what Ewing oil would be today if our fathers had been allies instead of enemies?" "Bigger than exxon." "It didn't have to be this way." "Jock... he set them against each other." "And we carried on the family tradition." "Look where that got us." "What?" "It doesn't havetobe thisway ." "What are you talking about?" "Wait... you and me?" "How many beers you drink today?" "I don't trust you, either." "But I know all your moves." "And I know you can find oil anywhere." "You got that right." ""Ewing energies" has a nice ring to it, don't you think?" ""An I.O.U. For the first share of Ewing energies"?" "Christopher and I have decided to go into business together with Elena as a partner." "Really?" "Really?" "I know, okay?" "But the difference between old Ewing oil and new Ewing energies is that John Ross and I will be equal partners." "No need to fight for position." "How did this happen?" "I realized that gas hydrates may be the future, but the infrastructure needed to monetize it... the outfitting of the drilling rigs, and the setting up of the pipelines... it takes time and money." "There are billions to be made right now with the new oil-drilling technology that Elena and I have been working on." "We can get oil from reservoirs that were unproductive just a few years ago." "And we'll use the oil to bankroll gas hydrates, get it up and running, and get the Ewing name back on top, where it belongs." "There's lots of nice buildings downtown that'd look a lot better with the Ewing name on top of 'em." "You'll be an equal partner, dad." "What about J.R.?" "The mineral trust says the oil under Southfork is partly his." "And he'll get the profits from that oil, but nothing else." "And you... you're throwing your lot in with these two yahoos?" "Against my better judgment, yes." "We thought it was time for a little peace in this family." "Well, I wish I could say I knew this was gonna work." "But the two of you are a lot smarter than J.R. And I were at your age, so maybe it does have a chance." "But you keep your eye on him." "And you keep your eye on him." "And you, my dear, are gonna have to keep both your eyes on both of them." "All right." "Hey, J.R.?" "You're welcome." "No need to get emotional." "You're still not off the hook for how you got this in the first place." "Well, if you die, I'll get that back." "Tell me you have the key card." "Tommy..." "no, no." "No, no." "All I want to hear you say is, "yes, I have the key card."" "Huh?" "Say it." "I don't have it." "I'm not doing this." "You owe me." "You know that you do." "Just... just do this one last thing, and I'm gone." "No." "I'm done." "I gave you the rings." "They're worth a lot of money." "You're talking about rings!" "I'm talking about millions!" "I got one of the richest guys in the world on the hook." "I have to go." "No." "No." "No." "No." "No." "No." "No." "No." "No." "Rebecca, don't hang up." "Don't hang up." "Where are you right now?" "Hmm?" "We'll... we'll..." "we'll talk." "Rebecca?" "Rebecca, don't s..." "It's been a while." "Yes, I guess it has." "If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know." "A moment alone would be great." "Yes." "Of course." "Thank you." "♪ ♪ Music plays ♪ ♪" "Thank you." "I'm done." "I know you said a day, but y-you have to let me explain." "Your services are no longer required." "No, I can get you the plans." "Goodbye, Tommy." "Frank." "No, we had a deal." "Forget my name." "Lew, if this is bad news, I'm hanging up." "No." "We finally have a lead on the woman who was impersonating Marta del Sol." "A lead?" "Yeah, it's solid, too." "Her credit card was linked to a cloud storage service." "I'm waiting on access, but the company says she has gigabytes of documents and video stored on the drive." "So if we find any proof of J.R.'S fraud or the Venezuelans' involvement in the del Sol sale on there, it'll void the deal and get you off the hook with those crooks for good." "The question is, if we find proof J.R. Was part of the fraud, are you ready to send your brother to jail for it?" "Bobby?" "Tell me what you find." "Will do." "Ooh!" "I need help in here!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "I need help in here!" "What's going on?" "We need the ambulance." "Bobby!" "Get the ambulance!" "Aah!" "I was fine living off the little cons I was pulling." "Then you show up, wiggle your ass, tell me I'm gonna make millions off of this Texas oil kid." "Move to China for two years." "Fine." "Be your brother." "I did everything you asked me to do." "You did." "Please!" "I'll find out a way to get you some money!" "I swear!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "No, Tommy!" "Please." "Please leave." "You have to go." "No!"
