Dallas

Previously on Dallas...

- - What is it?

My brother's dead.

They think it was suicide.

No. Andres would never take his own life.

If Elena found out you were using her pain

just to pay a debt to drug dealers,

she would despise you.

I want you to leave...

because our marriage is over.

Look at this place. I think I should stay here.

Are you kicking me out?

This fire was arson.

The accelerant... rocket fuel.

And Drew Ramos set the fire.

J.R. stole our family's future.

And Andres found out about it.

That's why he set the fire.

The Ewings aren't who you think they are, mama.

They will do anything to protect family.

I saw John Ross this morning

reading a handwritten letter from J.R.

and putting it in his wallet.

Mom, this could be the proof we need

that the Ewings framed Cliff Barnes.

Well, how do we get that letter, Elli?

"Doctors say I only have a few days left.

I had Bum steal Barnes' gun.

Put an end to the feud once and for all."

Drew was caring.

He was strong.

He was a soldier.

He went to war for our family.

He was also at war with himself.

With the choices he made...

and the people he hurt.

We focus on that... on... on the hurt,

and we let it lead us down dark paths.

We lose ourselves that way.

Carmen.

I can't imagine what you're going through right now.

What can we do for you?

You've done enough already.

If you need any...

You Ewings are a bunch of liars.

Carmen, where's this coming from?

Mami.

Listen, I think it's time we went back to the h... house.

Come on. Let's all just go. We'll leave you alone now.

No.

I know the truth. I've read J.R.'s letter.

I know all of you framed Cliff Barnes.

No more secrets.

This ends now.

Dallas S03E36 "Hurt"

Sync and corrected by Gianluca Belfiglio

Why did you call me here?

Your father didn't kill J.R.

Your father was framed.

It's all here in a letter J.R. wrote

and trusted to Bobby.

What is she talking about?

Cliff didn't kill J.R.

J.R. only wanted it to look that way,

and he asked Bobby to pull it off.

Bobby's been lying to all of you.

You helped him frame an innocent man.

Tell me this isn't true, Bobby.

- It's true. - I want to hear it from him.

J.R. was dying.

He had cancer.

And he said he arranged for his own murder,

and it was up to me to pin it on Cliff.

J.R. felt with Cliff behind bars,

the family could move forward... Put an end to the feud

that caused so much pain for both families.

So, yes, I lied.

But I also gave Cliff a chance...

A chance to confess the crimes he did commit.

Confess to blowing up the rig.

Confess to killing his grandchildren...

My grandchildren!

And Cliff said to me, "I have never done anything

the Ewings have asked me to do,

and I'm sure not gonna start now."

He had no regrets.

And neither do I.

It had to be done, Pamela.

And whatever clemency he deserved

died the day he ordered the rig to be blown up

with you on it. There was no other way.

No other way? You end a blood feud by walking away from it.

- Pamela, I know you're upset... - You knew.

And so did you, didn't you?

They both only knew the truth after Cliff was arrested.

But you continued to lie to us?

You couldn't know.

J.R.'s plan wasn't to end a feud or anything so altruistic.

When he died, we rushed to sentimentalize him.

We remembered the charm and the fun and the wit.

But he was also a thief and a liar. He ruined people's lives.

He got us to write his ending...

The ending where J.R. Ewing isn't a monster.

What's the point of all of this?

You know the truth. What now?

You want to line us all up in front of a firing squad

because we framed an innocent man?

There ain't nothing innocent about Cliff Barnes.

"Innocent"?

Who are you to talk about innocent?

You framed my father for all the same

typical, selfish John Ross reasons.

Why are you doing this, Elena?

How is this even your concern?

That's the deed to my father's land.

The land of my ancestors.

The land my family has a rightful claim to.

A land rich with oil.

J.R. manipulated the records.

He switched the deeds.

The land my father bought,

the land he thought was my ancestors',

was a dry, worthless rock.

My father died drilling a rock.

My brother went off the deep end drilling a rock.

My family is ruined because of J.R.'s duplicity and greed.

What I want...

What I want is for

my father and my brother to be alive.

But what I will take is restitution.

I had no idea.

So J.R. cheated your father out of his fortune.

- That's... - Unconscionable? Horrible?

Completely within J.R.'s character?

How did you find out about the switch?

Cliff Barnes told me.

You've been talking to my father?

He came to me. He wanted to help me.

He showed me the deeds.

Both of our families

have been wronged by the Ewings, Pamela.

What was it you said to me, Bobby?

"The truth sometimes hurts."

Stay out of this.

No. Elena's not like this.

This is you, Treviño. This is you and Cliff.

And you planted him as Cliff's proxy.

Nicolas and I are childhood friends, yes.

When I was in Mexico, I tracked him down.

I knew he would help. And he has.

So you've been lying to our faces ever since,

and you squirmed your way to get our trust back? Screw you.

All right. This has gone on long enough.

You... You want to make a deal, right?

Silence about what we all did to Cliff for restitution?

What would satisfy you, Elena?

The money you made off my family's land...

and a piece of Ewing property.

- Over my dead body. - John Ross.

No, half of this land is mine. None of it is hers!

These are my terms.

If you're not happy with them, I'm more than happy

to tell the world what you did to Cliff Barnes.

What all of you did.

So... what does he get?

Cliff?

Elena and I gave him our word that we would set him free.

- What? - You can't be serious.

Oh, no, no, no. Cliff stays in prison.

You pulled strings to put him there, Bobby.

You can pull strings to get him out.

You pardon Cliff,

we don't go to the police with your crime.

No one goes to jail.

That said, I can't predict what Cliff might do once he's freed.

You son of a bitch.

Christopher, no! Stop!

All right. All right, all right. Stop it.

That's enough. Stop it!

Leave. Leave.

I'll be at my cottage.

I want an answer by 8:00 pm tonight.

You sure got what you wanted last night, didn't you?

We're being held for ransom.

We give Elena what she wants, we don't go to prison.

What's to discuss?

We didn't cheat her father.

Yeah, I know. J.R. did.

And like you wouldn't have done the same thing.

You're the one who tossed her out with the trash.

Maybe we should thank you for turning her into such a spiteful bitch.

Hey! We don't turn on each other.

Not now.

I am the one who led the charge to frame Cliff.

I pulled you into it. I'll clean up the mess.

The hell you will.

What is that supposed to mean?

It means I refuse to let Elena get away with this.

Determining our fates yet again?

It worked so well last time.
