Dallas (2012) s02e02 Episode Script

Previously on Dallas.
My full name is Pamela Rebecca Barnes.
Cliff Barnes is my father.
Since we were married when you created Ewing Energies, I would like 30% of your ownership.
You must know that if we go to divorce court And you better come at me with everything you've got, miss Sutter will testify that the Pamela's intend to defraud.
I'm glad to be helping you get your annulment.
She truly is your secret weapon.
I'm also glad to be helping put the woman who stole my identity behind bars.
I still haven't found Tommy, and I'm worried about my brother.
What could you possibly have to offer that would make me want to get in bed with you? You remember the real Rebecca Sutter.
She's Christopher's secret weapon.
She could be ours.
I had accepted a bribe from Sue Ellen Ewing who should rightfully be in jail.
I had a daughter.
Her name was Emma.
When Emma was 18 months old, someone had taken her.
I saw Harris this afternoon.
He told me he'd found Emma.
Emma.
I'm your mother.
I know who you are.
I was hoping I'd never see you again.
Hey, babe.
Hey, beautiful.
What are you working on? It's a crib.
Yes.
I-I can see that.
It was mine.
I found it in storage.
Thought I'd fix it up, get it ready.
I know in a perfect world we'd be focused on us and our careers right now.
And then one day, when we were both ready, we'd be talking about having a family.
But life is what happens when you're busy making other plans, right? Well, I want you to know that I recognize how much you're taking on with me.
Hey, check it out.
These bars couldn't hold me.
What color do you think it should be? Isn't that a Kodak moment? J.
R.
's inside.
I got to hand it to you, Elena.
Raising another woman's babies If that ain't commitment, I don't know what is.
Aw, you know what, John Ross? How's Sue Ellen? The damned newshounds have been squatting on her lawn ever since she lost the election, so me and the old man are gonna go over there and kick some ass and take some names.
Good.
Yeah.
Well, good luck in court today, cuz.
Douchebag.
You ready for the hearing? More than ready.
Spoke to Becky on the phone.
She's good to go.
Her testimony will prove that Pamela was and continues to be lying through her teeth, and our marriage will be annulled.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Makes you want to punch something, doesn't it? I don't feel anything.
It's okay if you do.
You're young.
Use it.
Love.
Hate.
Jealousy.
Mix them up, and they make a mean Martini.
And when we take over Ewing Energies, you'll slake your thirst.
With a twist.
Dallas s02 ep02 - venomous creatures The lorazepam should help her rest.
Thank you, Ted.
You should rest, too, Bobby.
You were up all night.
It took her 20 years to get over losing her daughter and just seconds to lose her all over again.
I'm not gonna rest till I get some answers.
Thanks again.
Tell Christopher I'm sorry I can't make his annulment hearing.
He knows.
He understands.
Annie, I'll get to the truth about what happened to Emma.
I promise.
Well, I want to get to the truth together.
I know.
But first you rest, okay? Derrick from Dallas P.
D.
is stopping by in a bit.
I spoke to him last night on the phone, and I told him everything we know about the Emma situation.
We'll just have to see what he can dig up.
But, honey, we'll get your daughter back.
You're saying between Dallas P.
D.
and the FBI, there's no record of Emma being found, when she was found, who took her?! If there'd been an update to the case, it would have been recorded in the missing person's file.
And why the hell wasn't Ann notified? She's the mother, for God's sake! Bobby, the Emma Ryland case has been cold for 20 years.
I wish there was more I could tell you.
Harris Ryland said he found her.
How? Let us look into this, Bobby.
You should go be with your wife.
Derrick, you and your men do whatever it is you have to do.
But I'm not gonna sit on the sidelines.
J.
R.
, can you comment on Sue Ellen - losing the election?! - Come on, John Ross.
What about you, John Ross? Will you comment? All the people who rallied around me, who believed that I stood for something principled I let them down, I let myself down.
This is all my fault.
You wouldn't even be in this mess if you didn't bribe that guy to get me out of jail.
And I'd do it again if I had to.
Darling, I'm gonna say this only once, and I'll deny it the minute I leave this room But the best decision you ever made was the day you walked away from me.
In the past 20 years, you've started your own foundation You ran for Governor And you beat the bottle.
You can beat this, too.
The facts remain that in the last 48 hours, I have lost my credibility, my foundation has lost and to top it all off, the state attorney wants to indict me on charges of bribery.
So, add jail to my long list of post - J.
R.
accomplishments.
Mama, we will beat this, okay? Give me a couple of days to work the state attorney.
I'll make sure that twit never presses charges.
Thank you.
Thank you both.
But I broke the law.
And I wouldn't learn my lesson if I tried to squirm out of this.
That's why you have me, darling.
I never learn my lesson.
John Ross? Mama I'll call you in a bit, okay? And one other thing, darling Ann's pretty broken up over what happened with her and her daughter.
She could use some of that strength of yours.
The project entails a new additional tower to the existing casino of $250 million.
Good morning, everyone.
I don't mean to hijack your meeting, but I have to bring this up now, because it affects our company's direction going forward.
Barnes global is shifting its focus away from casino expansion and onto clean energy development.
This is the first I've heard.
Well, it shouldn't be, Frank.
I've been trying to have a conversation with you about it for days.
My father's ambitions have taken Barnes global far beyond what he ever envisioned.
We have hundreds of subsidiaries in dozens of markets, operating in over 50 countries.
But my father wants us to return to our roots.
He wants us to refocus on energy.
With all due respect, Ms.
Barnes, the groundwork has already been laid for the casino deal.
We would be burning a lot of Bridges with a lot of important people if we pulled the plug now.
You would know this if you attended our meetings on a regular basis.
I plan to From now on.
I've got two hours before the annulment hearing.
Let's proceed.
Ms.
Barnes is having your children.
She wanted to work things out.
She's a liar.
She lied about her name.
She lied about the full extent of her con, and she continued to lie after we reconciled.
The only thing Ms.
Barnes continued to withhold was her name, which she had legally changed to Rebecca Sutter Legally changed.
She also cut off all ties with Tommy Sutter.
So, by my count, she wasn't perpetuating any lies.
Am I wrong, Mr.
Ewing? No more questions.
Thank you, Mr.
Ewing.
Your honor, we have a witness.
Ms.
Sutter, what we're trying to establish is if Ms.
Barnes continued to lead Mr.
Ewing astray after they reconciled, with intent to cover crimes or commit new ones.
Can you establish that for the court? No, I can't.
Becky, what are you doing? Mr.
Ewing, let her talk.
Ms.
Sutter, let me rephrase.
I know what she and my brother did to Christopher was wrong, but they were both pretty messed up back then.
But now she's trying to make amends.
She fell in love with Christopher.
She quit the con.
She threw out my brother.
She tried to make that marriage work.
She even stopped lying to Christopher after This is ridiculous! She's lying! Mr.
rosen, get a hold of your client, please.
Your honor, my client's outrage is within reason.
What Ms.
Sutter is saying is in complete opposition to her signed statement! Signed under pressure from your client, I'm sure.
You can forget about me going easy on Tommy.
'Cause when I find him, he's going to jail, too.
- Mr.
Ewing? - You hear me?! How can she do this? Mr.
Ewing, I need you to sit down! Because two of you have reconciled after Ms.
Barnes confessed her misdeed and because Mr.
Ewing was unable to provide convincing testimony establishing any continued criminal subterfuge after the reconciliation, I'm ruling against annulment.
This court will reconvene for divorce proceedings at a time to be determined.
And get your stories straight next time.
Christopher.
Hey! Hey! Mr.
Ewing, stay back.
You turned her, didn't you? You got to Becky.
Mr.
Ewing, an outburst like this will only hurt you moving forward.
That's my free advice.
You should have taken the deal.
You wanted a war? You've got one! Come on, Christopher.
Come on.
Congratulations Divorce instead of an annulment.
How did Christopher take it? Wait, wait, let me guess Not good.
All right, look you don't want to kick me out right here.
That would not be smart.
Are you an idiot? You're welcome, by the way, for Becky, I mean.
Well, what if someone saw you? Sneaking around's the best part.
Look, you and I are on the same team.
We've got the same rival.
Well, you did bring me Becky.
I suppose I'm grateful for that.
How grateful? If we're gonna discuss an alliance, we do it where I say, when I say.
I thought my text message was very clear.
You mean the one saying your place, tonight? That one? I got your message.
Here's what I'm thinking You win a bunch of shares of Ewing Energies in the divorce and you fork them over to me.
I'm forking the shares over to my father, and he's gonna hang them over J.
R.
's head like mistletoe.
That's what Cliff wants.
The day that I take over Ewing Energies, with the help of your shares, I will funnel you all of the methane profits Every dollar.
But we both know that this isn't about money.
It's about crushing Christopher.
That's what you want.
Pull over.
If we're gonna do this, we do it on my terms.
Just the man I was looking for.
Peter bedford.
You know, your secretary's a sweetheart.
Told me I could find you here.
A state attorney needs a gal with tighter lips.
You know that? Well, like I told you on the phone, J.
R.
, there's nothing I can do.
Sue Ellen did a wrong thing, but she did it to save our boy from an erroneous murder charge.
That's very touching, J.
R.
, but we're talking about bribery and obstruction of justice.
I have to pursue an indictment.
Still doing all your business on the fairway? What's your handicap, Peter? I don't have any skeletons in my closet for you to pull out and parade.
I'm an honest state attorney who's got a 1:00 tee time with the city police commissioner, so if you'll excuse me I brought my lawyer so he could stop me from doing anything stupid, like ripping your head off.
Hey, lew.
You knew I'd come looking for answers, Harris.
None of this adds up about Emma.
Well, fire away, Bobby, if it'll make you feel any better.
Where did you find her? How did you find her? And when you found her, why didn't you tell her mother? Mr.
Ryland's made an appointment with the police.
He'll answer all their questions tomorrow.
I've spoken to the police, and they're very interested in the sudden appearance of your daughter.
I say "sudden" because she did suddenly appear Precisely the moment you needed something from Ann.
You know, I agreed to this meeting 'cause I wanted to know how the happy reunion between mother and daughter went.
Now, judging by your calm and collected demeanor, I can only assume it went well.
Did Ann ask you for a shot yet Something to help take the edge off? That's a slippery slope.
Trust me, I've witnessed firsthand.
Regarding my daughter, I don't got to tell you Jack.
Now, I'm sorry if that frustrates your quest for answers, but you're just gonna have to live with that.
Bobby.
I'm gonna get to the truth, Harris, and you know it.
And when I do, you'd better be far, far from the middle of it.
You cannot let Pamela upset you like this.
I'm just so sick of playing by the rules when nobody else does.
And I feel really guilty for dragging you through all this.
I knew what I was getting into when we got together, and that is exactly how we will get through this together.
Now would you like some good news? Why not? I closed a deal today that gets us four fixed oil platforms in the Gulf.
They're sitting on tapped-out oil Wells.
It would have cost this company millions of dollars to dismantle them.
But I cross-referenced the platforms with high-density methane pockets under the seabed.
Each one is sitting on a gold mine of methane.
Now, of course, we're gonna have to pay for insurance and liability, and we'll have to convert the platforms to use your extraction technology, but we'll save millions compared to building one from scratch.
Are you serious? Yes! My God.
Elena, you're amazing.
I know.
Where would I be without you? I don't know.
I think that's enough for now.
Thank you, everyone.
Something else on your mind? Your behavior lately.
You have to stop thinking of me as your father's driver.
You disrespected me in front of the board.
Don't do that again.
I was top of my class in business school.
I've shadowed my father since I was 18.
He has faith in my qualifications.
So should you.
This is a spoiled girl's vengeance for a broken heart.
Your father told you to sink the ewings, not sail into the wreckage.
I'm sorry.
Am I interrupting? Ms.
Barnes, I tried to tell him you were busy, but he's insistent.
Take him out of here.
No.
No, no.
It's okay.
I got this.
I know who you shared a ride with yesterday.
Hello, Frank.
J.
R.
What are you doing here, J.
R.
? I'm just here to look my enemy in the eye.
And since your daddy's about 2 feet shorter than I am, I guess you'll have to do.
I must have done something right to deserve a visit from you.
Congratulations on your win in court.
Now, divorce court If you want some tips, I can offer you a few.
I'm an expert authority.
I already have my experts.
And if you've got it in your pretty little head to go after Ewing Energies in the divorce, you won't be dealing with Christopher.
You'll be dealing with me.
You're not a part of that company.
No, no, but I'm part of that family.
You're not the first Pam to fox her way into the henhouse.
I'm one-for-one on flushing out pamelas.
And I plan on being two-for-two.
How does it feel to be a poodle? Hey, boys.
Listen, I'm looking for this young lady.
Happen to see her? No.
Hey, amigo.
Happen to have seen this young lady? No.
Okay.
Well, thank you.
Boy.
Now, that is a good-looking horse.
Ain't he? The whole ranch came to a standstill last week when he arrived from London.
Yeah.
I was here, actually.
I saw him.
A young lady was riding him A blond lady.
Do you happen to know who she is? No, not well.
From London, too.
And sure knows how to handle this big fella.
That's for sure.
Yeah, a friesian like this one you just don't see every day.
Yeah.
Well, thank you.
Yeah, you got it.
I thought Christopher was about to bust in this door any second.
What took you so long? This is way more than I asked for.
I know.
Why? You flipped on Christopher.
That was the deal.
No, there's more to our deal.
You're supposed to help me find Tommy.
I will help you, but you saw how upset Christopher was.
You need to go away, lie low for awhile.
The extra money will keep you going.
I want to find my brother.
I need to know he's okay.
Becky, you can't find Tommy from jail, and that's where Christopher will put you if he finds you.
Take the money.
Go back to des moines.
Go anywhere but here.
I heard about the investigation.
How are you doing? Nervous, to be honest.
I feel that the blade could drop down at any moment.
Of course, J.
R.
says that he's going to take care of it.
A week ago, I would have told him to stay out of my business, but that was a week ago.
Lose your way, J.
R.
? Never.
J.
R.
's a bit confused, but he'll be moving right along.
I will.
I will.
But first, have you met Jake, here? Hell of a boy.
Best caddie in town.
I was in a dark place after losing the election.
I had just finished pouring myself a glass of wine when he arrived.
Sue Ellen.
With all of the things that have been happening, I, had a moment of weakness.
And there was this drink.
An old friend who promised to take away all of my problems.
And then J.
R.
showed up An even older friend Who said that he would take my problems away.
For the first time in his damned life, J.
R.
was the lesser of two evils.
J.
R.
, what the hell is this? Well, when I found you here the other day, it made me think of a certain charity tournament in Austin last year Some "widows and orphans" fund or something.
Now, wasn't there some big scandal A hospitality tent on the 13th tee? Now, I hear the girls there were very, very hospitable.
Jake He offered to rescue me.
I found that very comforting.
Jake here took pictures.
J.
R.
really does care about you.
We've both suffered bad men in our lives Men who drive us to drink or whatever numbs the pain.
Sometimes those men drive us to be stronger.
They have no idea.
See, this is what I'm talking about when I say it feels like me versus y'all.
John Ross.
Listen, why don't you two explain it to him? No, I'm serious.
Tell him.
We were discussing giving Elena a bigger share of the company.
Elena, tell him what you did.
I closed a deal today that frees up enough cash so you can buy the trucking fleet you want We can vertically integrate And Christopher He gets not one but four rigs on sea beds rich with methane at a fraction of the cost of building our own rig from scratch.
Yeah, you're gonna have to run that by me a couple more times.
The translation is it's a very good day for the company.
Yes, it is.
Elena's proven herself She discovered the oil under Southfork, figured out how to slant-drill it from the Henderson plot, and now she's come up with a way for us to get the trucks and the platforms.
I mean, what she did is worth at least $50 million.
So, Christopher and I have decided to give her a portion of our shares.
After everything she's given us, she deserves it.
Look, you guys think I'm a snake and I'm only out for myself, but I am willing to let go of some of my shares, too, if it'll prove to you that I'm not as bad as you think I am.
What are you saying, John Ross? You have earned it, Elena And not just a bigger share of the company but an equal share.
How about it, fellas? We each give 5%, making it equal equal partners.
I'm good.
All right.
Okay.
Equal partners, it is.
Thank you.
I'm just just trying to do the right thing.
That's the least I could do for you.
Call and reschedule my appointment with rollin.
Is everything all right, Christopher? Jill, are you friendly with John Ross' secretary? Not really.
She's a horned frog, and I'm a mustang, so Well, from now on, I want you to be her new B.
F.
F.
Juice her for anything she's willing to tell you about John Ross' comings and goings Any calls, e-mails, and especially any mention of J.
R.
You got it.
He says he's not a snake But there's no way he's giving up something for nothing.
I need you to help me figure out what he's up to.
Elena will be an equal partner in Ewing Energies as soon as the paperwork gets done.
Now, if she and Christopher get married, they will be a block united, and we can't ever beat that.
But I think I found a loophole.
Elena had to borrow a huge sum of money to get the lease on the Henderson land.
Money from your mama.
Elena's in deep.
Now, until she gets that loan repaid, all of her assets are vulnerable.
Including her shares.
Gift-wrapped with a tidy bow.
Of course, we can't expect your mama to seize Elena's shares for no good reason and then hand them over to us, also for no good reason.
I'm sure their contract is full of good reasons.
Good boy.
Son, you got the devil in ya.
Takes one to know one.
You okay with screwing over Elena? More than okay.
She really did a number on you, didn't she? Carved your heart out with a spoon, then licked it clean.
Well, good.
Whatever lights a fire under you.
I'll be seeing you.
And once you and your mama take over the company, I get my piece, like we agreed on.
You'll get your piece.
I just wanted to let you know how serious we are about winning the city fleet contract.
Yes, sir.
That's right.
I'll call you next week with an update.
Come on in.
All right.
Mr.
Ewing? Yeah.
Who sent this? The sender instructed us to time-delay deliver it.
We've had it for about a month.
The sender is Tommy Sutter.
Thank you.
Hey.
Thanks for getting back to me.
Hey, no problem.
You wanted me to find out everything I could about that horse.
I was pretty keen in finding out a little bit more myself.
You were impressed with the horse before? Brace yourself.
He's an award-winner Won all sorts of riding and dressage competitions.
Been registered in London the past eight years.
Same rider the whole time The pretty blond girl you saw here.
Emma Ryland? Well, no.
You're half right.
Her name's Emma Brown.
Brown? And she's been riding that horse for eight years? Who owns her horse? A Harris Ryland.
Bought it eight years ago in Hampshire, England.
Listen, thanks very much.
Appreciate it.
Bye, now.
Well, you're up.
Good morning.
I called the doctor.
I decided to forego the shot this morning.
Good for you.
I need to see clearly if I'm gonna have a chance of figuring out what happened to Emma.
Any news? Still looking.
But I'm on it.
Becky.
Becky, I know you're in there.
I had a p.
I.
Follow you from the courthouse.
I just want to talk.
Go away! It's about your brother.
Tommy, I warned you.
I warned you not to push me around, because I will push back.
I have very powerful contacts that can make you disappear.
Push me one more time, and you'll be sorry, Tommy.
That's the woman you screwed me over for.
That's what she thought of your brother.
Sounds like she was ready to do something to him.
Maybe she already did.
There's another message.
BeckyTommy, it's me.
You said I'd get a cut of your take on the Ewing guy if I let your bitch girlfriend use my identity.
Tommy, I need my cut now.
We're going downtown, right now, you and me.
You're gonna file a missing-persons report for your brother, and then you're gonna recant your phony-ass testimony.
Otherwise, your next hotel room is gonna have bars on it.
I hope I'm not dropping by too late.
I already heard.
Someone from the state attorney's office called.
We both still have our contacts, apparently.
J.
R.
, I don't know what you did, and I don't want to know, but I am very grateful.
Darling, if I can still throw my weight around this town after all the crap I've pulled, then you'll bounce back just fine.
And that's all you're getting.
There's the gal I know.
If you can behave yourself, would you like to come in for some tea? Well, I thought you'd never ask.
Hello? I'm here.
Hello? Hello? "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
" You wooing me with poetry now? I'm not that good of a reader.
But I have read "the great gatsby" about a dozen times.
It's nice and short.
And the way you were looking off out there reminded me of the way that gatsby looked off at the light at the end of Daisy's pier.
energies after the divorce, in exchange for Christopher's methane patent.
You were right.
I want to crush him.
Damn.
I'd hate to be on your bad side, lady.
The methane patent If I'm giving you the whole enchilada, I expect the same.
I'm not that easy.
You invited me.
95%.
Why should I trust you? You don't.
I said, "final offer.
" I said, "my terms.
" I'll take 70%.
Hell, I'd have taken 50%.
Thanks for being so generous.
Pleasure doing business with you.
I delivered the package to Christopher Ewing.
Told him all that stuff you told me to tell him.
Now where's my payment? Scat.
My son isn't home.
You must be Bobby Ewing.
And you must be Ryland's mother.
Judith Brown Ryland.
Brown.
Emma Brown.
Where is she? I'd like to talk to her.
She doesn't want to talk to you.
Her mother would like a word.
She has nothing to say to that woman.
You found Emma eight years ago, at least.
You raised her abroad in Europe and gave her your maiden name Brown.
And the whole time, you kept her mother in the dark.
You let Ann think her daughter was dead.
You're sick You and your boy.
That'your version of events.
Then why don't you set me straight? When did you find Emma? Who took her? Am I about to get some answers, finally? There's nothing to explain.
Emma's a happy, healthy, well-adjusted girl with a very bright future.
We gave her a proper upbringing.
I won't allow anyone to ruin that.
It was you.
You and Harris took Emma from her stroller at the fair.
And you raised her in secret.
You and Harris kidnapped her.
Mr.
Ewing I wasn't kidnapped.
My father brought me to Europe, and I was raised by my grandmother.
No.
No, Emma.
Your father stole you.
He kidnapped you from your mother.
He didn't, Mr.
Ewing.
My father rescued me that day at the fair.
He saved me from my mother.
