Dallas

Previously on "Dallas"...

When I do not have a job you are bitching about child support

I do have a job you are bitching about your schedule

- figuer it out Heather. - Bo!

That was the best part about going public

I was able to buy up the control interest in the company.

What part of that outfit is business casual?

You don't really think John Ross would

cheat on you with her, do you?

I like to know that I'm the only other... Other woman.

Cheating husband. My favorite kind of case.

Once Pamela realizes

the full extent of the Ewings' betrayal,

she'll want revenge as much as I do.

- Since when does the CIA go after drug dealers? - We don't.

These guys are ex-commando of the Mexican army.

Drugs give them the money and the influence

to take down the Mexican government.

That son of yours is something else.

I know the sound of a lie.

And you are an expert at it, just like your father.

I am not my father!

Ma'am, I got a court order here

to take you into custody

for a mandatory psychiatric evaluation.

She's out of control, uncle Bobby.

What have you done, John Ross?

I'll be voting on her behalf to take Ewing Global public.

And there's not a damn thing you can do to stop me.

The fact that she was incarcerated

in the first place is outrageous.

She's not a danger to herself

or anyone else, for that matter.

The judge who ordered the involuntary hold

thought otherwise.

Besides, given her history of alcoholism,

I'm wary of releasing her too soon.

She smelled of alcohol when she was brought in.

Dr. Eglert, she admitted to us

that she'd had one drink.

Whether she had one drink or 10,

an alcoholic is an alcoholic.

She's going to need treatment.

We'll see to it

that she gets all the help that she needs.

But locking her up is gonna do more harm than good.

Doctor...

years ago, her husband put her in a sanitarium

because of her drinking.

She was profoundly traumatized.

Let her go before any more damage is done. Please.

I'm afraid it's not up to me.

The judge who issued the hold

has to review the admittance report

before I'm able to release her.

Well, h... how long will that take?

I don't know.

I was just trying to be polite. H... He was rude.

Rude!

Dallas S03E32 "Like a Bad Penny"

You're letting me go?

Yes, because you can't seem to take no for an answer,

someone very important to me got the wrong impression,

cost me a great deal.

Mr. Ewing, I'm so sorry.

I promise it won't happen again.

You're right. It won't. Because you're fired.

Mr. Ewing, please don't do this.

I need you to find out

whatever you can about Candace Shaw.

No one's ever chased me like that before.

She might have been trying to work an angle.

Maybe she sued a boss for sexual harassment

in the past. I don't know.

I'm cute, but I'm not that cute.

You inherited your daddy's cynical heart.

Yeah, like he always said, you only want to be surprised

when someone does the right thing.

Now go home and kiss your wife.

Drew?

I still can't sleep, Elli.

What's wrong?

I can't close my eyes.

I just see the explosion over and over again.

I killed those babies. I killed them.

It wasn't your fault, Drew.

You didn't know what would happen.

I ran away. I... I just...

I shouldn't have run. I have to turn myself in.

Spending the rest of your life in jail

won't bring those babies back.

- I can't live like this anymore. - If you come back to Dallas,

you will just reopen old wounds.

Christopher is trying to put this behind him.

Pamela's trying to make a fresh start, okay?

Opening things up, hurting her all over again,

that's not the answer, okay?

Just stay at Joaquín's.

I will come down as soon as I can. I promise.

- What's wrong? - That was Drew.

He wants to turn himself in.

Besides Carmen, he's the only one

who knows we grew up together.

If he comes back to Dallas,

he might figure out what we're up to.

He could ruin all our plans.

I know. I think I talked him out of it.

Good.

Well... I have something.

I know Christopher's been putting you

in an uncomfortable position by asking you

to play double agent for him.

This should put a stop to that.

I felt you tossing and turning all night.

How are you this morning?

Seeing my mother drunk like that,

it took me back to being a kid

doing whatever I could do to keep her from the bottle.

I don't know. Maybe I overreacted last night.

She was out of control and needed help.

Sometimes people just need to be saved from themselves.

She kept seeing me as J.R.

She thought I was only out for myself.

But everything I did, I did for us.

I can't ever trust my mother again.

This I.P.O. is a way for us to make sure

that we're the only ones making the decisions.

It's us against the world.

And we're gonna win.

I found a way to take control of Ewing Global

- once the I.P.O. goes through. - How?

While J.R. was working on an oil deal

with Sheik Sherif Ali in Abu Dhabi last year,

he learned of the Sheik's interest

in bidding on Arctic leases.

Except, by U.S. law, he couldn't bid

without partnering up with an American company.

J.R. assured him that Ewing Energies

would be that partner.

We cut him in on the Arctic leases

if he agrees to give us the necessary capital

to purchase the controlling interest in the I.P.O.

Exactly.

The Sheik is gonna be in Vegas this weekend

for a high-stakes poker game.

What do you say we pay him a little visit

and close a deal?

Morning.

So, you think Nicolas is such a good guy now, Elena?

What are you talking about?

What? You didn't hear?

He backed John Ross' vote for an I.P.O.

However Nicolas voted

it's because that's what Cliff wanted.

Y... Your boyfriend's a corporate raider.

I mean, this I.P.O. Is just the opening.

A guy like that looks for to take control of a company.

And John Ross was reckless enough to give it to him.

He has no ulterior motives.

He's acting as Cliff's proxy. That's all.

How can you be so sure that everything he says is the truth?

You wanted me to find out who Nicolas was before 1997.

Well, I did.

Follow me.

Javier Hernandez?

That's Nicolas' real name.

When you told me he was hiding something

about his past, I pressed him. He told me.

Where did you get this information?

I called down to the State Archive's Office in Mexico

requesting the information they had on that name

along with Nicolas' details.

His birth date, his parents' birth names,

the hospital where he was born.

It came in this morning.

- I was going to show you as soon as you walked in. -

Christopher, what were you expecting to find?

Carlos Del Sol, the most connected guy in Mexico,

couldn't find a thing on Nicolas' past.

Someone doesn't go through all the trouble of having

their past professionally erased for no reason.

When I asked Nicolas why he went through all the trouble,

he said it was not about hiding who he was.

It was about protecting himself from the parents

who abandoned him when he was a baby.

The last thing in the world he wanted

was for them to come back into his life looking for money.

You, uh...

You really like this guy, don't you?

I do.

You know, when you came to me, asked me for a job,

I said "yes" because I thought

it would bring us closer together.

But I guess it only moved us further apart.

¿A dònde vas?

Dallas.

Mr. Ryland, I'm sorry. I tried every move I know.
