Blame Game
Previously on Dallas.
As the court received from the venezuelan consulate, the U.
S.
attorney's office has granted Mr.
Cano an extradition hearing.
The man's a murderer for Christ's sake! And when J.
R.
's son was in jail, he put a contract out on him.
John Ross was almost beaten to death! I had Lew Rosen make another copy of Veronica's cloud drive.
You cross me again, I will use it.
I'm ruling against annulment.
This court will reconvene for divorce proceedings.
I don't want our kids to be raised with their parents poisoning their minds against each other.
I'll agree to mediation.
I loaned you that money because I believed that you could turn a profit.
You have one month to hit that oil or I call in the loan.
There was no way that you were gonna make a fool out of me by leaving.
You had to pay a price.
On the one count of attempted murder, how do you find the defendant? We find the defendant, Ann Ewing, guilty, your honor.
Mrs.
Ewing, you'll be remanded into formal custody until your sentencing hearing.
I spoke to Bobby.
He's really gonna go to bat for you today at the sentencing.
And we're all preparing something.
It's the same jury, Sue Ellen.
They heard me say I was on drugs, that I walked away from my baby.
I saw their faces.
The look of hate on their faces when they convicted me.
They also saw the pain that Ryland and his mother put you through.
There's no way they're gonna send you to 20 years.
Do you think Emma will ever forgive me? I do.
Don't give up, Ann.
Don't.
I haven't heard a word from you about the progress at the Henderson ranch.
I thought you would have cleared the salt dome by now.
I'm sorry I haven't updated you.
It's just with everything going on, it's been a little more hectic than I expected.
She's day's away, Sue Ellen.
This doesn't concern you, Christopher.
And to think that I have to ask you about this That you haven't even thought to keep me up to date It's not what I expected when I funded this venture.
I'll get it done.
I don't need any more excuses.
That wasn't an excuse.
That was a promise.
If you think you're getting tired of that, just think how I feel.
I shouldn't have to keep asking for something that's mine.
How would you like to stop asking, mama, and just take it? Really, consul general? Is this any way to treat a guest and a fellow countryman? Fellow countryman? Señor Cano, you give Venezuelans a bad name.
You come to a host country, try to steal the Ewing family's oil.
You have the blood of señorita Veronica Martinez on your hands, and yet you have important friends in caracas who pull strings to have you extradited.
And I will tell you that those same friends would be disappointed at the lack of hospitality that I'm being shown here.
While you're here, you'll remain in my custody.
Tomorrow a car will come to take you to the airport where an airplane will be waiting to take you home.
Till then you will be treated like the criminal you are.
Is everything set for tomorrow? Yes.
Good.
It wouldn't be right to leave Dallas without giving the ewings a proper goodbye.
DALLAS S02 Ep06 - Blame game Rather than pursue half of Mr.
Ewing's total net worth, as allowed by law Ms.
Barnes has stated a willingness to accept only half of his stake in Ewing Energies, provided he agrees not to fight her on custody.
I agreed to mediate because we wanted to make peace before the babies were born.
But what your lawyer is asking for? It's not gonna happen.
Our request is more than reasonable.
if you agree to full joint custody and an annulment once the deal is signed.
Annulment? We just pretend like it never happened.
And everything else you want The joint custody, the annulment it's yours.
We have a deal.
You understand this agreement between parties is binding, and the final annulment won't be granted by the court until after the children are born.
Okay? I'll draft an agreement for signatures later today.
I guess I'll be seeing you in the next board meeting, then, partner.
There is a morals clause in our contract, but Elena hasn't engaged in or knowingly abetted any criminal enterprise.
No.
But her brother Drew has.
He got caught transporting smuggled goods out of Mexico.
A felony.
I've got good insight that he'll be pleading guilty to avoid jail time.
Now, as head drilling foreman, he qualifies as key personnel.
You invoke that clause, you will not only be able to take over the Henderson Wells, but all of Elena's assets, including her shares of Ewing Energies.
So That's why you have been showering me with attention lately.
You want a favor.
Not a favor, mother.
A partner.
I've been looking for somebody to help me build Ewing Energies to make it the biggest independent oil company in Texas hell, the world.
And I think that somebody is you.
Elena and my cousin want to push me out of this company, screw me over like they did when they got back together and threw it in my face.
Without you by my side There's no way I'm gonna be able to fight back.
Did you set up Drew to create an opportunity for us to take over Elena's shares? He hasn't changed.
Breaking the law was his doing.
I just made sure he got caught.
You are your father's son.
And yours.
We got a bird's nest on the ground, mother.
Let's pick it up Together.
You got Internet, e-mail, apps.
Apps? Applications.
I even gave you "Angry Birds.
" Honey, I don't need any more angry birds.
J.
R.
, stop messaging me from your room! I'm trying to get some work done before I go to Ann's sentencing.
Yeah, it's great.
Now leave me alone! And get a hobby! Lew will meet us at the D.
A.
's office in the morning to sign the plea.
- Okay? - What's up? Yeah.
I got work to do.
Don't tell me.
D.
U.
I.
? No, no, this time it was smuggling.
- Knock-off designer goods.
- Seriously? He said he didn't know the stuff was stolen.
He was trying to get some extra cash to buy my mother a car.
You mom has a car.
And she doesn't know about this.
And she does not have to find out.
Drew's gonna plead guilty tomorrow.
And this will be over.
I have it handled.
Thank God my mother's still in Mexico with TÃa.
She never has to find out.
Why didn't you tell me? Because you have a lot going on.
He's my family.
He's my responsibility.
And you're my family.
I love you.
How was mediation? We settled.
How much? I'm sorry.
Don't be.
It means peace for the babies.
Plus I got her to agree to an annulment.
Once the babies are born, we can get married in a church.
We can start planning it now.
Our courtship was mostly on horseback.
I'm a rancher by trade, and I spend a good deal of my time in the saddle.
And back then, Annie was working as a therapist, using horses as a way to build trust with battered women.
I donated some livestock to the charity, and that's how we met.
We made quite a pair The cowboy and the therapist.
Ann had a natural way with horses.
People, too.
Still does.
She's always willing to lend an ear or give a helping hand.
My wife is the most caring, compassionate person I know.
And you found her guilty, based on the facts of the case.
And that was justice.
But now I'm hoping you'll look beyond those facts to the larger truth of what happened and do the just thing again.
Ann's fate Our fate lies in your hands.
Thank you, Mr.
Ewing.
I think we'll go ahead and recess for today and start fresh tomorrow.
Till 1:00 P.
M.
tomorrow, this court stands adjourned.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Annie, it's gonna be all right.
Hey.
I love you.
You savor that tender moment, you two, 'cause it might be your last without a sheet of dirty plexiglas between you for the next 20 years.
Come on, Harris.
Come on.
All right.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay.
All right.
I got into Ewing Energies, daddy, just like you wanted.
I love you, too.
Tell me you had as good a day as I had.
And that Christopher caved.
I'm now part owner of Ewing Energies.
As soon as the ink is dry on you deal with Christopher And you sign over your shares to me, I can hand over the methane patent to you, and we can both have what we've always wanted.
Here's to the Dynamic Duo.
What? Please tell me that look is just morning sickness At night.
I have to hold onto the shares, John Ross, for my children.
I don't want to be at war with their father again.
Since when? Just the thought of you making him suffer is how you get out of bed every morning.
Don't mess with me.
There's something you're not copping to, and I know it.
I defied my father to save you from a murder rap.
You cannot turn your back on me right now.
Look, once your mother's move against Elena is done, you won't need my shares.
You'll still have me as an ally on the board, and it won't cost you the methane.
I should have let Jared take you down when I had the chance.
You want to play dirty? Game on.
What do you want? I thought I'd drop by and see how you're doing, check on you.
And to remind you of something.
You have another family At Southfork.
If you ever need anything, we're there.
I won't be needing you.
I promise.
What? What are you smiling at? That thing you did with your hair.
It's just like your mom.
So, like I said, if you need anything You working in here? Or hiding? Look, I stuck up for you, Drew.
Okay, when you showed up being all, "I'm a stand-up guy now," I told Elena to give you another chance.
But you're right back there, aren't you? Same old Drew.
I am not.
I screwed up, yes.
But I'm not back there, not by a long shot.
Then why did you do it? Really? I was trying to earn money to buy my father's land back from your father.
I didn't tell my sister because I knew that it would upset her.
But I won't give up on my father's dream.
He didn't die for nothing, and I'm gonna prove it.
Look, I-I didn't know the stuff was smuggled.
I was hired to drive, and I got set up.
Come on, man! You want to prove that you've changed? Start taking a little responsibility.
I'm signing a guilty plea! How much more responsibility can I take? I checked that truck front and back when I picked up the load.
The tail light was fine.
Somebody smashed it on purpose to attract the attention of the law.
Someone set me up.
Who? Why? I don't know.
But I have a bad feeling about a foreman that I fired off the Henderson rig.
He changed the angle on the downdip, ignoring the seismics, and took us days off course.
It had to be on purpose.
Who would want to purposely keep Elena from pumping that oil? Exactly.
Hey, Matt, I need you to pull everything Elena has on the Henderson project for me, please, including her partnership agreement with Sue Ellen.
Son of a bitch.
You understand by admitting guilt, you waive your right to a trial.
Hello? John Ross set up Drew.
He's using the arrest to trigger some morals clause in your contract with Sue Ellen A clause that will allow her to seize all your assets Everything, including your shares in Ewing Energies.
That's what they've been up to.
Listen, do not let Drew sign that plea.
I would expect something like this from John Ross, but not Sue Ellen.
Being pissed off at me for not being with your son is one thing, but this is lie down with dogs, you're gonna get fleas.
And you Your greed or your stupidity or both just cost me my business Everything I've worked for while you were off doing God knows what.
I understand you're angry at me.
You have the right, but now you know John Ross set me up.
You broke the law, and now I am paying the price.
No more excuses, Drew.
This is what the ewings do.
When they're tired of screwing over each other, they turn on people like us.
Let me help you fight and get back what they've taken.
Shut up! You've done enough, don't you think? Find your own way home.
We've got two hours max before the Consul General is notified of your escape.
Have the helicopter arrive in one hour.
Anything else? Your 4-D ultrasound from the obstetrician.
Would you like me to messenger Mr.
Ewing's copy to his home? No.
No, no.
I'll I'll take it myself.
And this.
Emma? You have five minutes, Mrs.
Ewing.
Thank you.
I'm so So happy to see you.
There's there's so much I want to ask you, but I-I don't know where to begin.
I wondered why you weren't at the hearing yesterday.
I was worried.
I was busy.
What made you decide to come today? I just wanted to show my support For my father.
You're a good daughter.
I know that look And the feeling that goes with it.
Once, in the early days of my marriage to your father, a hairdresser suggested that I try some highlights.
I agreed.
But on my way home, I panicked.
"What if Harris doesn't like it? What if he's angry at me for not consulting him first?" Was he? I was so afraid of upsetting him that I dyed it back before he got home.
But he knew anyway, and he was furious with me, reinforcing, in my mind, the idea that I was stupid and worthless.
I should go.
They're gonna wonder where I am.
Emma.
It'll get easier.
I promise.
Yeah, thanks, Lew.
Look, we'll find a way around this.
How? The terms of the contract were breached no matter how you look at it.
Hey.
What's going on? John Ross found a loophole in Sue Ellen's contract with Elena.
It allows him to take over her shares of Ewing Energies.
What?! It puts John Ross and Sue Ellen in control.
This isn't about business for you, is it, Sue Ellen? This is about payback for me hurting your son.
He was trying to do right by you.
But you didn't give him a chance.
He lied to me To my face.
You didn't know what he was up to all along? Well, you can tell yourself that, but you knew what you were getting into with John Ross, just like I did with his father.
And then you saw something shinier in Christopher and Ewing Energies, and you bailed.
You're the one that made this personal, Elena, not me.
Sue Ellen, are you really gonna do this Seize Elena's assets to help your son steal a company? It's done.
You're a sociopath, just like your father.
And I warned J.
R.
what would happen if he tried something like this.
J.
R.
! J.
R.
, what the he Well, looks like J.
R.
flew the Coop just in time.
Do I need to remind you about this cloud drive, John Ross? Sue Ellen, I want you to take a look at this and see what's gonna send your son and J.
R.
to prison for a long, long time.
Wait a minute.
No, no, no.
Wait, wait.
No.
Stop it.
Stop! It's gone.
What did you do? I didn't do anything.
You did.
When you opened that e-mail sent by J.
R.
And clicked on the video of that damn dog.
What did you expect, Uncle Bobby? You keep a junkyard dog like J.
R.
tied up long enough, he's only gonna get meaner.
You get out of my house, you pathetic little son of a bitch! Excuse me! You're never gonna get away with this not on my watch.
That's the problem, isn't it? We're not on your watch.
Not anymore.
What the hell? You're supposed to be in jail.
Did you think you could get away with turning me in to the authorities and painting me as the one with dishonor? You see, in my country, when a man makes a deal He honors it.
Where's Bobby? He should be here by now.
He isn't answering his cell.
They should all be here by now.
All rise.
The court is now in session.
The honorable judge Wallace Tate presiding.
Be seated, please.
Here we go.
What do you want, Cano? Only what I was promised.
You're going to call Ewing Energies, and you're going to send all your employees home for the day.
And once the place is empty, my friend here is going to accompany you to your office, where you're going to retrieve the plans to your methane patent and prototype that I was promised.
Now If you are not back here within one hour, your beautiful wife and children will not escape unscathed.
Let her go! Your cousin has to defend your wife? Wait a minute.
You Ewing boys share, after all! I love it! Well, since this is clearly where your heart is now You have one hour to bring me the prototype.
Not all abuse is physical.
For years, I was manipulated, controlled, made afraid to do anything on my own.
Finally, I found the courage to break free.
But not before losing my child.
For years, I searched for her and mourned her loss.
And then I learned she was alive.
She'd been alive all along, and it was my ex-husband who'd taken her.
And there was nothing I could do about it.
I felt powerless.
I broke.
And I hurt someone.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm begging you for a second chance.
Why did you do it? Why did you screw me out of my share of the company? We could die here.
Don't you think the least you owe me is an honest explanation? You broke my heart.
I saw the good in you when no one else did.
Yeah, well, the day you stopped seeing the good in me is the day that it died.
You better hope nobody's here.
You try anything, I'll push the button.
Your girlfriend dies.
Even if Christopher does get here on time, I don't see this coming to an end without somebody getting hurt Or worse.
J.
R.
and John Ross brought this on us, Sue Ellen, by getting mixed up with these guys.
Bad begets bad.
It always has, always will.
J.
R.
does bad, you do good, and repeat A vicious cycle that our sons seem destined to continue.
It's the Ewing way.
It doesn't have to be.
If we get out of this You could break the cycle.
By giving Elena her shares back? It would be a start.
I loved my wife, and I did everything I could to help her, but she was beyond help.
She walked away from our daughter once.
What was to keep her from doing it again? I had no other choice but to take Emma away.
All those years as a single father, I lived in fear that Ann would come back and hurt my little girl.
And she did.
Her last words to me in the hospital Were, "I wish you were dead.
" This woman has no remorse, ladies and gentlemen.
Please, put her behind bars for a very long time.
If that's all, Mr.
Ryland, we'll hand it over to the jury.
Still no word from Bobby? No.
This is so unlike him.
I know.
Here it is The E.
C.
S.
Extraction control system prototype.
Why'd you go back on our deal? I mean, really? I know you still hate him.
I may be president of Barnes Global, but my father is still C.
E.
O.
Cliff Barnes wants a piece of Ewing Energies, and you got it for him.
Ever the dutiful daughter.
I've never done anything to please my father Until now.
I quit trying.
Save myself a lot of disappointment that way.
I don't believe you.
What are you looking at? Go.
Was I really just revenge sex for you, John Ross? Revenge sex is all I could afford.
Who has the fastest trigger finger? Me or you? Will the defendant please rise to excerpt the sentence? How say you, ladies and gentlemen of the jury? We, the jury, sentence Ann Ryland Ewing to Probation, your honor.
Congratulations.
No.
This is an outrage.
I demand a mistrial! Sit down, Mrs.
Ryland! You're lucky I don't hold you in contempt.
We've all sat here patiently listening to you and your son disparage his ex-wife, using this courtroom as a forum to paint her as a monster and him as the victim without taking any responsibility for your part in this tragedy.
Yes, you were shot, Mr.
Ryland, and that was wrong.
Last week, this jury found your ex-wife guilty on the facts, and that's the law.
But you took away her daughter, made her believe she was dead.
If you'd done that to me, sir, hell, I might have shot you, too.
Mrs.
Ewing suffered at your hand, and it was well within the rights of this jury to make sure that she doesn't suffer any more by sending her to prison.
You're not the victim here, Mr.
Ryland.
Not by a long shot.
This court is adjourned.
Emma.
Where is he, Lew? Did you try Christopher? Yeah, straight to voicemail.
Elena, too.
I think we'd better hurry home.
What happened? He made a move.
I stopped him.
I'm gonna take her home with me as an insurance policy.
She can help me deal with your technology.
And who knows? Maybe we have something in common.
Everybody up.
Over here.
Let's go.
You really screwed this up, didn't you? - You all right? - Yeah.
How about you guys? Get down! - Christopher.
- Dad.
- Are you all right? - Yeah, you? I'm fine.
I'm fine.
You okay? We got through this as a family.
We're much stronger together than we can ever be apart, Sue Ellen.
I hope you can see that and that you'll make things right.
Annie! - Bobby.
- Hi.
Are you all right? Well, I am now.
Everyone, if I could please have y'all's attention for a minute.
I would like to introduce you to the newest board member here at Ewing Energies.
Many of you know her as the city's most capable businesswoman.
She also happens to be my mother.
Sue Ellen.
I can't believe you're actually going through with this, after everything we've just been through as a family.
Of course we're still gonna go through with it.
Why wouldn't we? We're not doing anything illegal, Bobby.
I'm just looking out for what's best for me and my son.
Like you said, we're stronger together than we could ever be apart.
Shake it off, Uncle Bobby.
Today's a new day.
We got work to do.
Come on, mom.
I never go looking for a fight.
But when one finds me, I sure as hell finish it.
And they are in for the fight of their lives.
As the court received from the venezuelan consulate, the U.
S.
attorney's office has granted Mr.
Cano an extradition hearing.
The man's a murderer for Christ's sake! And when J.
R.

John Ross was almost beaten to death! I had Lew Rosen make another copy of Veronica's cloud drive.
You cross me again, I will use it.
I'm ruling against annulment.
This court will reconvene for divorce proceedings.
I don't want our kids to be raised with their parents poisoning their minds against each other.
I'll agree to mediation.
I loaned you that money because I believed that you could turn a profit.
You have one month to hit that oil or I call in the loan.
There was no way that you were gonna make a fool out of me by leaving.
You had to pay a price.
On the one count of attempted murder, how do you find the defendant? We find the defendant, Ann Ewing, guilty, your honor.
Mrs.
Ewing, you'll be remanded into formal custody until your sentencing hearing.
I spoke to Bobby.
He's really gonna go to bat for you today at the sentencing.
And we're all preparing something.
It's the same jury, Sue Ellen.

Do you think Emma will ever forgive me? I do.
Don't give up, Ann.
Don't.
I haven't heard a word from you about the progress at the Henderson ranch.
I thought you would have cleared the salt dome by now.

I shouldn't have to keep asking for something that's mine.
How would you like to stop asking, mama, and just take it? Really, consul general? Is this any way to treat a guest and a fellow countryman? Fellow countryman? Señor Cano, you give Venezuelans a bad name.
You come to a host country, try to steal the Ewing family's oil.
You have the blood of señorita Veronica Martinez on your hands, and yet you have important friends in caracas who pull strings to have you extradited.
And I will tell you that those same friends would be disappointed at the lack of hospitality that I'm being shown here.
While you're here, you'll remain in my custody.
Tomorrow a car will come to take you to the airport where an airplane will be waiting to take you home.

But now I'm hoping you'll look beyond those facts to the larger truth of what happened and do the just thing again.
Ann's fate Our fate lies in your hands.
Thank you, Mr.
Ewing.
I think we'll go ahead and recess for today and start fresh tomorrow.
Till 1:00 P.
M.
tomorrow, this court stands adjourned.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Annie, it's gonna be all right.
Hey.
I love you.
You savor that tender moment, you two, 'cause it might be your last without a sheet of dirty plexiglas between you for the next 20 years.
Come on, Harris.
Come on.
All right.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay.
All right.
I got into Ewing Energies, daddy, just like you wanted.
I love you, too.
Tell me you had as good a day as I had.
And that Christopher caved.
I'm now part owner of Ewing Energies.
As soon as the ink is dry on you deal with Christopher And you sign over your shares to me, I can hand over the methane patent to you, and we can both have what we've always wanted.
Here's to the Dynamic Duo.
What? Please tell me that look is just morning sickness At night.
I have to hold onto the shares, John Ross, for my children.
I don't want to be at war with their father again.
Since when? Just the thought of you making him suffer is how you get out of bed every morning.
Don't mess with me.
There's something you're not copping to, and I know it.
I defied my father to save you from a murder rap.
You cannot turn your back on me right now.
Look, once your mother's move against Elena is done, you won't need my shares.
You'll still have me as an ally on the board, and it won't cost you the methane.
I should have let Jared take you down when I had the chance.
You want to play dirty? Game on.
What do you want? I thought I'd drop by and see how you're doing, check on you.
And to remind you of something.
You have another family At Southfork.
If you ever need anything, we're there.
I won't be needing you.
I promise.
What? What are you smiling at? That thing you did with your hair.
It's just like your mom.
So, like I said, if you need anything You working in here? Or hiding? Look, I stuck up for you, Drew.
Okay, when you showed up being all, "I'm a stand-up guy now," I told Elena to give you another chance.
But you're right back there, aren't you? Same old Drew.
I am not.
I screwed up, yes.
But I'm not back there, not by a long shot.
Then why did you do it? Really? I was trying to earn money to buy my father's land back from your father.
I didn't tell my sister because I knew that it would upset her.
But I won't give up on my father's dream.
He didn't die for nothing, and I'm gonna prove it.
Look, I-I didn't know the stuff was smuggled.
I was hired to drive, and I got set up.
Come on, man! You want to prove that you've changed? Start taking a little responsibility.
I'm signing a guilty plea! How much more responsibility can I take? I checked that truck front and back when I picked up the load.
The tail light was fine.
Somebody smashed it on purpose to attract the attention of the law.
Someone set me up.
Who? Why? I don't know.
But I have a bad feeling about a foreman that I fired off the Henderson rig.
He changed the angle on the downdip, ignoring the seismics, and took us days off course.
It had to be on purpose.
Who would want to purposely keep Elena from pumping that oil? Exactly.
Hey, Matt, I need you to pull everything Elena has on the Henderson project for me, please, including her partnership agreement with Sue Ellen.
Son of a bitch.
You understand by admitting guilt, you waive your right to a trial.
Hello? John Ross set up Drew.
He's using the arrest to trigger some morals clause in your contract with Sue Ellen A clause that will allow her to seize all your assets Everything, including your shares in Ewing Energies.
That's what they've been up to.
Listen, do not let Drew sign that plea.
I would expect something like this from John Ross, but not Sue Ellen.
Being pissed off at me for not being with your son is one thing, but this is lie down with dogs, you're gonna get fleas.
And you Your greed or your stupidity or both just cost me my business Everything I've worked for while you were off doing God knows what.
I understand you're angry at me.
You have the right, but now you know John Ross set me up.
You broke the law, and now I am paying the price.
No more excuses, Drew.
This is what the ewings do.
When they're tired of screwing over each other, they turn on people like us.
Let me help you fight and get back what they've taken.
Shut up! You've done enough, don't you think? Find your own way home.
We've got two hours max before the Consul General is notified of your escape.
Have the helicopter arrive in one hour.
Anything else? Your 4-D ultrasound from the obstetrician.
Would you like me to messenger Mr.
Ewing's copy to his home? No.
No, no.
I'll I'll take it myself.
And this.
Emma? You have five minutes, Mrs.
Ewing.
Thank you.
I'm so So happy to see you.
There's there's so much I want to ask you, but I-I don't know where to begin.
I wondered why you weren't at the hearing yesterday.
I was worried.
I was busy.
What made you decide to come today? I just wanted to show my support For my father.
You're a good daughter.
I know that look And the feeling that goes with it.
Once, in the early days of my marriage to your father, a hairdresser suggested that I try some highlights.
I agreed.
But on my way home, I panicked.
"What if Harris doesn't like it? What if he's angry at me for not consulting him first?" Was he? I was so afraid of upsetting him that I dyed it back before he got home.
But he knew anyway, and he was furious with me, reinforcing, in my mind, the idea that I was stupid and worthless.
I should go.
They're gonna wonder where I am.
Emma.
It'll get easier.
I promise.
Yeah, thanks, Lew.
Look, we'll find a way around this.
How? The terms of the contract were breached no matter how you look at it.
Hey.
What's going on? John Ross found a loophole in Sue Ellen's contract with Elena.
It allows him to take over her shares of Ewing Energies.
What?! It puts John Ross and Sue Ellen in control.
This isn't about business for you, is it, Sue Ellen? This is about payback for me hurting your son.
He was trying to do right by you.
But you didn't give him a chance.
He lied to me To my face.
You didn't know what he was up to all along? Well, you can tell yourself that, but you knew what you were getting into with John Ross, just like I did with his father.
And then you saw something shinier in Christopher and Ewing Energies, and you bailed.
You're the one that made this personal, Elena, not me.
Sue Ellen, are you really gonna do this Seize Elena's assets to help your son steal a company? It's done.
You're a sociopath, just like your father.
And I warned J.
R.
what would happen if he tried something like this.
J.
R.
! J.
R.
, what the he Well, looks like J.
R.
flew the Coop just in time.
Do I need to remind you about this cloud drive, John Ross? Sue Ellen, I want you to take a look at this and see what's gonna send your son and J.
R.
to prison for a long, long time.
Wait a minute.
No, no, no.
Wait, wait.
No.
Stop it.
Stop! It's gone.
What did you do? I didn't do anything.
You did.
When you opened that e-mail sent by J.
R.
And clicked on the video of that damn dog.
What did you expect, Uncle Bobby? You keep a junkyard dog like J.
R.
tied up long enough, he's only gonna get meaner.
You get out of my house, you pathetic little son of a bitch! Excuse me! You're never gonna get away with this not on my watch.
That's the problem, isn't it? We're not on your watch.
Not anymore.
What the hell? You're supposed to be in jail.
Did you think you could get away with turning me in to the authorities and painting me as the one with dishonor? You see, in my country, when a man makes a deal He honors it.
Where's Bobby? He should be here by now.
He isn't answering his cell.
They should all be here by now.
All rise.
The court is now in session.
The honorable judge Wallace Tate presiding.
Be seated, please.
Here we go.
What do you want, Cano? Only what I was promised.
You're going to call Ewing Energies, and you're going to send all your employees home for the day.
And once the place is empty, my friend here is going to accompany you to your office, where you're going to retrieve the plans to your methane patent and prototype that I was promised.
Now If you are not back here within one hour, your beautiful wife and children will not escape unscathed.
Let her go! Your cousin has to defend your wife? Wait a minute.
You Ewing boys share, after all! I love it! Well, since this is clearly where your heart is now You have one hour to bring me the prototype.
Not all abuse is physical.
For years, I was manipulated, controlled, made afraid to do anything on my own.
Finally, I found the courage to break free.
But not before losing my child.
For years, I searched for her and mourned her loss.
And then I learned she was alive.
She'd been alive all along, and it was my ex-husband who'd taken her.
And there was nothing I could do about it.
I felt powerless.
I broke.
And I hurt someone.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm begging you for a second chance.
Why did you do it? Why did you screw me out of my share of the company? We could die here.
Don't you think the least you owe me is an honest explanation? You broke my heart.
I saw the good in you when no one else did.
Yeah, well, the day you stopped seeing the good in me is the day that it died.
You better hope nobody's here.
You try anything, I'll push the button.
Your girlfriend dies.
Even if Christopher does get here on time, I don't see this coming to an end without somebody getting hurt Or worse.
J.
R.
and John Ross brought this on us, Sue Ellen, by getting mixed up with these guys.
Bad begets bad.
It always has, always will.
J.
R.
does bad, you do good, and repeat A vicious cycle that our sons seem destined to continue.
It's the Ewing way.
It doesn't have to be.
If we get out of this You could break the cycle.
By giving Elena her shares back? It would be a start.
I loved my wife, and I did everything I could to help her, but she was beyond help.
She walked away from our daughter once.
What was to keep her from doing it again? I had no other choice but to take Emma away.
All those years as a single father, I lived in fear that Ann would come back and hurt my little girl.
And she did.
Her last words to me in the hospital Were, "I wish you were dead.
" This woman has no remorse, ladies and gentlemen.
Please, put her behind bars for a very long time.
If that's all, Mr.
Ryland, we'll hand it over to the jury.
Still no word from Bobby? No.
This is so unlike him.
I know.
Here it is The E.
C.
S.
Extraction control system prototype.
Why'd you go back on our deal? I mean, really? I know you still hate him.
I may be president of Barnes Global, but my father is still C.
E.
O.
Cliff Barnes wants a piece of Ewing Energies, and you got it for him.
Ever the dutiful daughter.
I've never done anything to please my father Until now.
I quit trying.
Save myself a lot of disappointment that way.
I don't believe you.
What are you looking at? Go.
Was I really just revenge sex for you, John Ross? Revenge sex is all I could afford.
Who has the fastest trigger finger? Me or you? Will the defendant please rise to excerpt the sentence? How say you, ladies and gentlemen of the jury? We, the jury, sentence Ann Ryland Ewing to Probation, your honor.
Congratulations.
No.
This is an outrage.
I demand a mistrial! Sit down, Mrs.
Ryland! You're lucky I don't hold you in contempt.
We've all sat here patiently listening to you and your son disparage his ex-wife, using this courtroom as a forum to paint her as a monster and him as the victim without taking any responsibility for your part in this tragedy.
Yes, you were shot, Mr.
Ryland, and that was wrong.
Last week, this jury found your ex-wife guilty on the facts, and that's the law.
But you took away her daughter, made her believe she was dead.
If you'd done that to me, sir, hell, I might have shot you, too.
Mrs.
Ewing suffered at your hand, and it was well within the rights of this jury to make sure that she doesn't suffer any more by sending her to prison.
You're not the victim here, Mr.
Ryland.
Not by a long shot.
This court is adjourned.
Emma.
Where is he, Lew? Did you try Christopher? Yeah, straight to voicemail.
Elena, too.
I think we'd better hurry home.
What happened? He made a move.
I stopped him.
I'm gonna take her home with me as an insurance policy.
She can help me deal with your technology.
And who knows? Maybe we have something in common.
Everybody up.
Over here.
Let's go.
You really screwed this up, didn't you? - You all right? - Yeah.
How about you guys? Get down! - Christopher.
- Dad.
- Are you all right? - Yeah, you? I'm fine.
I'm fine.
You okay? We got through this as a family.
We're much stronger together than we can ever be apart, Sue Ellen.
I hope you can see that and that you'll make things right.
Annie! - Bobby.
- Hi.
Are you all right? Well, I am now.
Everyone, if I could please have y'all's attention for a minute.
I would like to introduce you to the newest board member here at Ewing Energies.
Many of you know her as the city's most capable businesswoman.
She also happens to be my mother.
Sue Ellen.
I can't believe you're actually going through with this, after everything we've just been through as a family.
Of course we're still gonna go through with it.
Why wouldn't we? We're not doing anything illegal, Bobby.
I'm just looking out for what's best for me and my son.
Like you said, we're stronger together than we could ever be apart.
Shake it off, Uncle Bobby.
Today's a new day.
We got work to do.
Come on, mom.
I never go looking for a fight.
But when one finds me, I sure as hell finish it.
And they are in for the fight of their lives.
