Dallas (2012) s01e10 Episode Script

Previously on "Dallas" Promise me that you had nothing to do with stealing Southfork.
I swear, none of it was me.
Methane.
I'll give you exclusive South American rights, instead of the oil that you were promised from Southfork.
Harris knows I bribed the medical examiner.
And he's blackmailing you.
He wants me to launder money.
My favorite nephew.
Why am I here, Uncle Cliff? I want to invest in your gas-hydrate project.
Christopher and I have agreed to go into business together.
And get the ewing name back on top.
"Ewing Energies" has a nice ring to it, don't you think? I'm so damn tired of hearing about your birthright.
Can't you just let it go? You're welcome.
It's gonna take time to get back to where we were.
But we're making our own family now.
Get me the plans to Christopher's gas-extraction rig, or I put a bullet in your little fairy tale.
I'm done.
I gave you the rings.
They're worth a lot of money.
Rings?! I'm talking about millions! Ohh! Mr.
ewing? I need help in here! I did everything you asked me to do.
Please! I'm in trouble.
Tell me.
Okay.
Bobby's out of surgery.
The neurologist was able to stop the bleeding and embolize the aneurysm endoscopically.
It's amazing how they can take a catheter through the femoral artery, all the way to the brain, and fix these types of things.
So he's fine.
Well, right now his vitals are stable, his blood pressure is down, but there was a great deal of swelling.
So, to suppress brain function, they had to give him some barbiturates in order to finish.
And, well, because of that, he hasn't woken up yet.
And until he does and we've had a chance to talk with him and give him a full neurological exam, we won't know for sure if he sustained any brain damage.
We'll keep you informed.
He's gonna be okay.
Everything's gonna be fine.
Sir, you can't be in here yet.
Well, you can call security if you have to, darlin'.
But until they throw me out, I'm gonna be talking to my brother.
Come on.
Wake up.
You hear me? Wake up, and you'll get better.
And you keep fighting.
You keep fighting me.
Now I'm gonna tell you something you never heard me say before.
I love you, Bobby.
And I don't know who I'd be without you.
What do you want? I've been trying to reach your cousin Christopher, but he doesn't answer his phone.
That's because he doesn't need to be bothered by you right now.
Now, what do you want? I'm down in the Gulf checking out the methane-extraction rig that your cousin is testing.
I have to say it's very impressive.
Now, his foreman tells me that the testing is nearly complete.
So I want to know when it will be fully operational and when it can be moved.
Tell your cousin to call me with that information today.
And the next time we speak, try and remember -- you're the one who pulled me into this deal.
You knew the game you were playing.
Hey.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm so sorry about your father, Christopher.
The doctor says he thinks he'll be awake soon.
Hey.
Hey.
He's gonna be okay.
Everything's gonna be fine.
Okay.
What happened to your eye? Oh, it's -- it's nothing.
It's nothing.
I just -- I-I opened a cabinet into myself yesterday.
It was -- it was stupid.
Did someone hurt you? Was it Tommy? Did he hit you? Tommy and I had a fight.
But he's gone for good.
He promised me he'd never come back.
Do you know where he is? No.
If he gets in touch with you, you tell me.
Promise me that.
I want to protect you.
You put your ring back on.
I want to make this work, so our babies can have the family they deserve.
Maybe you should put your ring back on, too.
I'd like that.
Hey, can I get you something -- some coffee, maybe something to eat? Sure.
Yeah, coffee would probably be good.
Okay.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I want you to get in touch with your P.
I.
-- Bum.
I want him to find out if Rebecca's brother is still in Dallas.
And if he is, I want to know where.
Where'd you put those rings, Tommy? Where did you put Tommy's body? There's something I need to find.
Are you two planning on sleeping all day? Oh, my God -- dad! Oh, Bobby, you're awake! Hi.
Hi.
I'm okay.
Hey, son.
Ahh.
Thank God.
I'm okay.
Really, I'm fine.
So, go.
Go get the doctor.
I want him to tell me how good I'm getting.
Okay.
I'll be right back.
Everything's gonna be fine from here on in, honey.
Oh I know you hate surprises, but this one is gonna change the way you feel about them.
A construction site.
Not just any construction site -- our construction site -- yours, mine, Christopher's.
I rented it this morning when I found out Bobby was gonna be okay.
You are looking at the new home Of Ewing Energies.
Wow, this is -- this is great.
But you could have rented a suite with actual walls in any of the new high-rises.
Yeah, but they don't have pedigree.
Jock's office.
Bobby's office.
Right here J.
R.
's.
I remember sitting behind daddy's desk, looking at this view, just wanting to sit where he sat one day.
And here we are.
This was Ewing oil.
When I found out it was for rent, I couldn't pass it up.
Christopher's always saying how the Ewing name means nothing to me.
Well, maybe this will finally prove to him that it does.
This is a really good surprise, John Ross.
Actually, this is Christopher's surprise, not yours.
What are you talking about? When I saw this ring, it reminded me of how light reflects off oil.
When I was kid, I remember the first time I saw that -- I thought nothing could be more beautiful.
Then I saw you.
I love you, Elena Ramos.
My life and everything that I want it to be is better with you.
Marry me.
Marry me and make me the luckiest man in the world.
Yes.
I love it.
You say diamond-encrusted wedding band, total carats 3, huh? Diamond engagement ring, flawless, "D" color, 2-carat stone, flanked by baguettes -- those sound like your rings? Yes.
Then I sold them yesterday.
Can you tell me who bought them? I'll re-buy them from you for double what they paid.
You have no idea how important this is to me.
All right, listen -- leave me your number.
I'll find out who bought them and get them back.
Thank you.
What's going on, John Ross? The old Ewing oil space? Actually New Ewing Energies space.
I wanted our new company to -- well, to know where it came from, to build on the old Ewing legacy and -- and make it better.
A fresh start for our family.
I'm glad you did this, John Ross.
It means a lot.
And it'll mean a lot to my father, too.
Time to drink on it.
Finally persuaded her to marry me.
Biggest mistake of her life, right? No, it's, uh -- it's -- it's good.
You know, we're all moving forward, me, Rebecca, and the babies, you and Elena.
And I really hope the two of you are happy together.
You deserve to be happy.
Well, your daddy's on the mend.
We got offices.
We got energy.
Now the only thing left to get is your methane back from Vicente.
Well, let's -- let's wait until we have the right thing to leverage.
Better to try to end it with Vicente than to just swap oil for methane.
Besides, my father says his lawyer might have a lead, so we should hold off.
Today's a day to celebrate.
To mending fences And to being happy.
Aah! Are you okay? I didn't even think you were home yet.
Yeah, I-I fell asleep.
You brought Chinese food? I told you -- a fresh start.
And what better way to start over than to do it like when we were dating? I got you spring rolls Won ton soup andyour moo shoo.
You didn't want to wear your ring? I-I tried.
I-I guess my -- I guess my finger's a little swollen from being pregnant.
I couldn't put it on.
Okay.
Let's eat.
Okay.
Fortune cookie? Okay.
Thanks.
Well, hello, Lew.
What you doing here? Well, you know you've hit a low when even a lawyer won't take the time to insult you.
A little present for you, Bobby.
You know you shouldn't be talking business.
The doctor says you ought to be getting your rest.
Doctor says I'm a medical marvel.
Might go home tomorrow.
Says I can do just about anything I want, as long as it makes me feel better.
Well, I'm glad you're feeling better.
Gave me quite a scare.
Well, I can't die, J.
R.
I have unfinished business with you.
Unfinished business? You're not forgetting I signed back the deed to Southfork, gave up my birthright? What more could you want? You gave me back a deed still held by a bunch of thugs, which means this family is still in debt to Vicente Cano.
I know you'll refuse to believe me till the day I die, but I was not part of that Marta del Sol fraud.
I just ended up getting a loan from the wrong people.
Just stop it, J.
R.
! When Marta del Sol died, it revealed her true identity -- Veronica Martinez.
And that opened up a whole new trail to follow.
So, Lew got access to her cloud drive, you know, where she backs up all her computer files And her video files.
So, there is a video of you Conspiring with her against me.
I've got you dead to rights, brother.
Are you saying you want to send me to jail? It's time to clean up your mess with these Venezuelans and stop your double-dealing for good.
They're letting you go home already? Oh, hello.
He's promising to take it easy.
But, yes, he'll be sleeping in his own bed tonight.
Oh, wonderful.
Ooh, looky.
Here she comes.
Time for my final prod and poke.
Oh, you two deserve this -- to be happy by putting all of this behind you.
Well, you deserve the same things, too, Sue Ellen.
Uh, I've set a press conference.
I'm, uh, bowing out of the race.
And I'm telling Ryland "No.
" I will not launder his dirty money through my P.
A.
C.
I crossed a line by trying to help John Ross, and, uh, I'm prepared to live with those consequences.
Oh, Sue Ellen.
This way I can live with myself, and that makes me happy.
You can't let Ryland win.
He's an awful man, and you're a good woman.
Who's done too much wrong in the past to deserve to be governor to the good people of Texas today.
Whoo! Keep playing ball like that, we're gonna have to take on the McKay brothers again.
Make those little girls leave the court in tears this time.
What are you two doing together? I tried to protect you, son.
Bobby wants us both to pay the Piper.
Leave it to John Ross to get you a diamond the color of oil.
Be nice.
Mm.
No.
I like it.
And I'm happy for you, mija.
You are? Uh-huh.
I've been watching John Ross lately.
Maybe I misjudged him.
Maybe he's not his father's son, after all.
I'm gonna get him, and I want you to tell him how much you like him, okay? And -- and make him believe it, please.
He's gonna be your son-in-law.
Ah.
I will not confess to anything.
You can't make me do this.
The videos that Veronica Martinez took prove that you brought her and the Venezuelans in on this deal before J.
R.
was involved.
Isn't it gorgeous? You are the one who asked her to impersonate Marta del Sol.
Now, Bobby's bringing the videos to the authorities.
You have no way to hide from this anymore.
But nothing you said I did in those videos ended up mattering.
J.
R.
's the one who stole Southfork, not me! Look, you know I'm trying to do the right thing here, put all this behind us, help bring this family back together.
It's on video, John Ross! You can't lie your way out of this.
I need assurances.
I will confess to conspiring with Veronica Martinez and Vicente Cano to take Southfork.
But I need assurances that everything I say is sealed, that none of you will tell Elena what's happened, that everything stays between us and whoever you bring to it.
You lied about everything.
Elena, you have to hear me out.
No, I heard, John Ross.
Listen -- I wanted to tell you the truth when it all went down.
I did.
But I was too damn ashamed.
Yes, I put it into play when Bobby wouldn't let me drill because I was angry, okay? I couldn't see straight.
But nothing I did even mattered because J.
R.
took it all from me.
I asked you point-blank if you had anything to do with this, and you lied to my face! 'Cause I knew that if I told you the truth, you wouldn't give me a second chance.
I needed you by my side.
I've been trying to do better for you Because I love you, Elena.
You lie so easily, John Ross.
How can I ever trust you again? Look what I'm doing.
I'm helping Christopher.
I'm helping Bobby.
I got J.
R.
to give Southfork back.
I'm trying to do the right thing because that is the man that I am today, with you.
No, don't.
Don't.
Look, I know that you are angry and that you hurt, and I know that you hate me right now But you do not give up on me.
Meet me tomorrow at the Ewing Energies space.
It'll be a new beginning for us.
Please.
I will be there tomorrow! Mr.
Ryland, Mrs.
Ewing is here.
So, you come for another hug, Annie? Gloat all you want.
You've won, Harris.
I let you back in, and you won.
You sent me that necklace, brought up the past, made me a wreck, antagonized my husband, threatened to sue him.
And now Sue Ellen? I know you're blackmailing her just to get to me.
What do you want from me? Because I won't let you hurt any more people.
Ah, you always were so full of yourself, Annie.
You think the leverage I hold on Sue Ellen has anything to do with you? No, Sue Ellen made a mistake.
The only way out of it for her is to do what I say.
By laundering money for you through her P.
A.
C.
Loose lips is only gonna get Sue Ellen in a whole lot more trouble.
Please, Harris, just -- just take it out on me.
Well, unfortunately, I need that money cleaned.
So I can't.
That's unless Since you're here And in the mood So, how about it? Extortion, blackmail, and a confession to money laundering, all recorded.
You make a move against me, Sue Ellen, or any member of my family, you're going to jail! One more thing -- the next time you ask me for a hug, you'll be hugging the business end of my shotgun.
Mr.
Barnes is very pleased you're willing to sell off your interest on such a short notice.
Anything to expedite this deal.
I know how anxious he is to acquire these technology rights -- and my lien on Southfork, of course.
Yes, it's been a long time coming.
I should warn you, though, that dealing with the Ewings requires a strong hand.
Otherwise, they can beunruly.
Trust me.
Mr.
Barnes knows exactly how to handle them.
Of course he does.
I imagine that's one of the reasons you've been tracking my deal with them for so long -- so you could "handle" them.
That, and methane happens to be smart business.
These all look in order.
Mr.
Cano.
Uh, let me finish this first, please.
Yes, but there are federal agents here to see you.
Thanks for meeting me.
Good way to procrastinate on my resignation speech.
I'm hoping you'll cancel that speech.
It's a confession from Ryland about what he's doing to you.
He won't be blackmailing you anymore.
How? It doesn't matter.
But it's a good thing -- for both of us.
What's important is that you stay in the race.
The people of Texas need you.
Is this some kind of a joke? U.
S.
attorney is a friend of mine, said I could have a few minutes with you before they took you down for processing.
Signed confessions from J.
R.
and John Ross detailing the fraud you were a party to regarding the sale of Southfork.
There's a whole bunch of fancy lawyer talk, but in a nutshell it invalidates any contract, lien, or interest you have on Southfork.
And subsequently, it invalidates any deal you have with my son for his gas-extraction system.
You're going to prison, Vicente, and not just for fraud -- for murder.
The woman that you were in business with -- Marta, Veronica, whatever -- to protect herself, she recorded things, and she automatically uploaded those recordings into a cloud drive.
And our investigators found that drive and have handed it over to the authorities.
On it is a video of you threatening her life and of your associates pushing her out of a ninth-story window to her death.
As far as Marta’s death goes, I don't know what you're talking about.
But remember -- your son's the one that pulled me into this deal.
If I go down Goes down.
My son didn't ask you to hurt anybody.
Besides, John Ross and I got immunity for our confession.
The only one to go to jail for any of this is you.
You should never have touched a hair on my boy's head.
Life is cheap in prison, Vicente, and I'm a very rich man.
So am I.
Well, I guess that's it, Bob.
No, I wouldn't have sent you to jail.
Why do you think I agreed to that confession so easily? You were always the better man and predictable to a "T.
" Well, you're predictable, too, brother.
And that's why I had Lew Rosen make another copy of Veronica's cloud drive for me.
You cross me again, I will use it.
Wouldn't have it any other way.
John Ross.
It's over.
Vicente's been arrested, along with the men that killed Marta.
I'm guessing you heard what happened with Elena.
You gonna tell me I got what I deserved? Elena deserved the truth, just like we all did.
I wanted to put this behind us, John Ross.
I wanted to believe that your actions over the past few days proved that we could.
But what you did was worse than even I expected.
He was just acting like his father.
John Ross, maybe you're young enough to have learned a lesson.
You can change.
You two boys started a business together.
It'd be real nice if you could figure out a way to make it happen.
Finally bring some peace to this family.
Yeah.
It's bum.
For you.
He found Tommy.
You sure this is the place? Tommy Sutter checked in two weeks ago.
He hasn't checked out.
You want to wait for him outside or inside? What the hell's going on? There's nothing in here.
I don't know.
He knows I'm looking for him.
He must have switched hotels.
Damn it! - Hello? - Oh, Tommy.
Thank God.
Why haven't you been answering your cell? Uncle Fred had a heart attack.
I need you to come to Des Moines right away.
Who is this? What you do mean, "Who is this"? It's your sister.
It's Rebecca? Who's this? I just spoke to Tommy's sister the real Rebecca Sutter.
She lives in Des Moines.
So, who the hell are you?! You won't understand.
Tell me who you are! I'm your wife.
I'm Rebecca Ewing.
God.
You know what? It's just gonna be more lies, anyway.
No.
No, I don't want to lie anymore! I've done everything I could to get out from under things.
I've done everything! You've done everything?! I came back to you! I gave you another chance! You're sick.
I mean, you have no idea what's real and what's not anymore! I know what I feel for you.
And I also know that I'm not the only one who lied in this marriage.
Attack me all you want, Christopher! You've every right.
But if you want the truth, the truth is, never had a chance with you, because you're still in love with Elena.
I will find out who you are.
And when I do, I'm gonna send you to prison.
And then I'm gonna see to it that those babies you're carrying never know what a lying piece of garbage you really are! Elena? Christopher.
When you were 9 and your father died and I saw you crying -- that was the day I knew I wanted to do anything I could to make you smile again.
When we were 15, we raced horses across this ranch and you won, and I kissed you for the first time -- that was the moment I knew I loved you.
And when we were 22 and we kept each other up all night, studying for Greson's final so neither of us failed and then we came home after and made love -- that was the day I knew I wanted to marry you.
We've wasted too much of our lives not being together.
And I don't want to waste another minute without you, Elena.
Look, Rebecca and I are done.
I'm gonna be a father to my children, but it is over between usforever.
I know you gave this back to me But it's yours.
It's always been yours.
The banners you hold today say "Truth for a change.
" So I stand here before you now with truths.
It's not a secret that the last few weeks have been very difficult for me -- my son's arrest.
And in the aftermath, there have been people who have tried to tear me down, and with good reason.
I am not perfect.
I have lived a life of mistakes and regret.
And truthfully, there were times when I thought I was beyond saving.
But like the good people of Texas, I have found strength in adversity and wisdom from my failings.
I have tried to learn forgiveness from my friends and to settle feuds without war.
Feels like home again.
I have learned not to succumb to evil Yeah.
but to challenge it.
And although I look at life and this campaign as an uphill battle, it's a battle I want to fight for myself and for the good people of Texas who have faith that I can lead this great state into a bright future.
And for all those people who want to tear me down, I have three little words -- I am Texas! Thank you for taking care of this.
We told you not to hire the Sutter boy.
We told you he was a loose cannon.
I know.
If you had done what was expected, I wouldn't have to dispose of a body or to have dealt with J.
R.
's business partner, who has been arrested.
So we are back to square one.
Your behavior has put many things at risk.
I know I screwed up.
Don't explain it to me.
Explain it to your father.
You're just like your aunt Pamela.
When it comes to the Ewings, I never could trust her, and I can't trust you.
You probably would've put these back on, too, if I hadn't bought them from that pawnbroker.
I'm sorry, daddy.
I just -- I got lost in it.
I'm your daughter.
I love you.
I gave up two years of my life for you so you could finally settle things and be at peace.
I know you did.
And that's why I'm cleaning things up.
That's why I'm giving you a second chance to make me proud.
I want you to get a piece of Ewing Energies so we can put that family down For good! You take care of her.
When the Ewings find out what's what, it's gonna be a firestorm.
Now, protect her.
And be sure that you keep her in focus this time.
I won't lose focus.
Christopher threatened to take the babies.
I won't lose focus again.
Okay.
So, what's our first move, Ms.
Barnes? Here you go, son.
You want in on Ewing Energies, you stop teaching me about the oil business and you start teaching me every dirty trick that you know.
And when I take this company from Christopher and Elena, I'll cut you in And only then.
If you screw me, I will make sure that you don't see a dime of that oil sitting underneath Southfork.
And I will put you back in that home for good.
Got it? Now, that's my son, from tip to tail.
