Dallas

Previously on "Dallas"...

What did Tommy do?

He sent the e-mail to Elena

and made it look like it had come from your computer.

Hey, Tommy!

Make sure I never see you again.

Tommy: In all these files that I copied,

there's got to be something in them we can monetize.

Find anything yet? Not yet.

Bobby: J.R., Southfork's deed is in your name.

Is this some kind of joke?

Ewing oil is back in business, Bobby.

Promise me that you had nothing to do

with stealing Southfork.

I swear, none of it was me.

Marta: That picture's pretty obvious.

I warned you. I warned you not to toy with me.

The sale of Southfork to marta del sol was a fraud.

We need to start fighting fire with fire.

That's not who we are! Maybe not you.

You have a contract with J.R. Ewing

to transport 2,000 barrels a day from Southfork.

I want you to cancel the contract.

Got something to show you.

Proves that you were conspiring against my father.

I want proof that J.R. Was in on the fraud,

or you're going to jail.

I'm leaving town a little while,

and I'm putting you in charge.

When are you coming back?

That depends on you, son.

Couldn't sleep again?

When I was a kid,

I'd ride out right in the middle of that field.

Sit on top of the tallest horse they'd let me take.

I'd imagine what it'd be like if it was all mine.

It's funny how life always seems more complicated

than you imagined it would be.

Especially this family.

You worried about Bobby?

Ah, Bobby I can handle.

He ain't gonna play dirty.

It's Christopher.

He'll do or say anything to break us up.

You know that, right?

You weren't a part of the fraud, John Ross.

It was all your father's doing.

What could he possibly say?

I don't know.

He said awful things to you in the past that weren't true.

Ah, who knows where his head's at?

Oh, it's cold.

Come back to bed.

I wish I could, but I gotta run.

That oil ain't gonna drill itself, you know? Okay.

Will I see you later?

A late dinner, maybe.

I gotta stop by the condo after work,

get the last bit of my stuff.

Finish moving into the hornet's nest.

John Ross.

I don't believe in the war...

But I believe in the warrior.

Any more of that coffee left?

You know, John Ross,

I wouldn't get too comfortable around here if I were you.

You think your father's won,

but, you know, J.R.'S big mistake was he always...

Underestimated me.

I'm not in the mood to argue

with you this morning, Uncle Bobby.

You do what you gotta do.

But you push me, and I'll kick you out of this house.

Then why don't you just do it, boy?

Family means nothing to you, does it?

No, it does.

We're just on two different sides of it...

my grandfather's instead of miss Ellie's.

Well, you are a lot like your daddy...

all hat and no cattle.

You have no feeling for this ranch,

except for what lies beneath it.

That's where you're wrong.

That's where you've always been wrong,

except you're too damn stubborn to see it.

Earl: Mr. Ewing. Yeah.

Um... I meant John Ross.

What's up, Earl?

Problems with the truck down at the rig site.

Tankers from Ryland Transport...

they didn't show up as scheduled.

Now, I called, and the dispatchers...

they said they were told to stay away from Southfork.

Orders straight from the top.

Ryland.

Isn't that your wife's ex-husband's outfit, Uncle Bobby?

Guess you weren't lying when you said you'd do anything

to stop us from drilling.

I just never pegged you as the type

to have his wife do his bidding.

Tommy: You should have seen the line

at that coffee place this morning.

And everybody still smiling.

Always smiling.

People in Texas are way too friendly.

It tries my nerves.

So please tell me you found something

in these boxes of value.

I'm more than ready to cash out

and get the hell out of this state.

Nope.

I just can't figure.

The has to be something.

Well, what about Christopher's laptop?

Has he done any more work on his gas-extraction process?

Mnh-mnh.

Thinking he must be doing it at the office.

Fact is, he hasn't been using it much at all since the barbecue

when things blew up.

I think you might have really broke his heart.

Lucky for me yours mended fast.

You know, I actually... Already went over these.

Why don't you start on those over there?

All right.

You know, I've been going through these boxes all day.

I'm gonna step out for some fresh air.

You... Good here?

Yeah, yeah, I'm good. Wish me luck.

Good luck.

What's wrong?

Annie...

I just found out that Harris Ryland stopped his trucks

from servicing J.R.'S rig.

Did you have something to do with that?

Why?

I just saw how upset you were,

and I-I thought it might help.

I know you wanted to slow John Ross down and...

but don't you think that's something

we should have talked about first?

Well, I know we should have,

but I knew you'd talk me out of it.

A-and it wouldn't have taken much, believe me.

And...

Wanted to help.

Well, I appreciate that.

But I already had a deal with the riggers

on that site to stage a sickout.

You didn't have to go to a man

for whom you've never had a kind word

and ask him to do a favor for me!

You're absolutely right.

I should have told you.

Then I wouldn't have gone

and put myself out there for nothin'.

Oh, honey, I'm afraid it's not for nothin'.

Annie, I've worked with thugs like Harris Ryland

my whole life,

and they never do anything without strings attached.

I just hope this doesn't come back and bite us in the ass.

If you want to help me,

I'm all for it.

But let's talk about it first, okay?

Okay.

I'll see you later.

John Ross: Ewing of Ewing oil.

No, I'm his son, and I'm looking for tankers.

As many as you got right away.

How long am I gonna have to wait?

Never mind.

I'm telling you,

Ryland has damn near a monopoly on tankers in north Texas.

If you're gonna find something,

especially with the eagle Ford shale play still red hot down South,

you're gonna have to go out of state.

No, it'll take weeks.

I need trucks now.

J.R.'S investors are expecting the first shipment by Friday.

If they don't get it

I got a feeling there's going to be hell to pay.

Don't you knock?

Give me a minute with my cousin.

It's been two days.

And I'm done waiting.

I'm tired of seeing my father hurt every day this goes on.

I want the evidence against J.R., and I want it now.

I got nothing on J.R., Christopher.

You've been in on this from the beginning, and you know it.

No, I wasn't. J.R. Screwed your dad.

He screwed all of us, including me.

But I got nothing linking him to fraud.

All I've ever wanted to do was drill on land

that's been in my family for four generations.

Your father had no right to try and give it away.

Southfork is just as much my birthright as it is yours.

And if you say anything

about me not being a real Ewing,

I'm gonna knock that cheesy grin off your face.

Come on.
