Dallas

Previously on "Dallas"...

I've read J.R.'s letter.

The Ewings framed Cliff Barnes for J.R.'s murder.

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

You pardon Cliff, we don't go to the police with your crime.

Hunter McKay... His grandfather and my daddy

fought their fair share of battles back in the day.

Three games and two rounds of funding later, we took the company public.

You know, I thought about taking Ewing Global public.

When you offered me a chance to take down the Ewings,

you didn't say anything about Mexican gangsters.

My men took every precaution to make sure

that Grew's death is ruled a suicide.

J.R. was working on an oil deal with the sheik Sherif Ali.

My father has decided to supply you with the capital you need

to buy controlling interest in Ewing Global.

This is my friend Calvin Hanna,

and he has underwritten several very large I.P.O.S.

He's the best man for the job.

- You really think John Ross is gonna come after me? - Oh, I'm sure of it.

So, we're all set for the I.P.O.?

Everything will be taken care of.

You're a good man. I wouldn't go that far.

Nicolas... He isn't who he says he is.

He's using Elena for his own agenda,

and we're gonna find out what that is.

Buenos días, Señor Barnes.

I heard from Elena

that your man on the inside

has everything in place for me to get my company back tomorrow.

Well done, Treviño.

I'm both impressed and grateful.

Uh, is Elena with you?

I've been trying to reach her,

but her phone keeps going to voicemail, so...

In the hurry to leave Southfork,

I'm afraid she forgot her phone.

Here she is.

Hello, Cliff.

Elena... why am I still in prison?

I wanted to be in Dallas for the I.P.O.

so I can begin my evisceration of the Ewings in person.

I don't have your pardon anymore.

I gave it to Pamela.

That's not our deal.

I told you from the start...

I never thought of this as revenge.

I thought of it as justice.

I've seen to it that you will get your company back.

But for me to be the one to free you from jail

after everything you did...

Blowing up the Ewing rig and killing Pamela's babies...

That justice is not mine to decide.

It's your daughter's.

Fine!

Now that Pamela knows the truth,

she'll see the errors of her way.

And when I'm free,

nothing will stand in the way of me getting the revenge

that I deserve.

You did the right thing.

If Pamela lets her father out of jail,

there will be more bloodshed.

You're not responsible for their battles anymore.

Only for your own.

And you've won.

What do you want, Christopher?

Just a minute to talk.

Enter.

You know, it's strange to see you living away from Southfork.

It's your home.

Not anymore.

Elena wrote me these years ago

when she went to visit your family in Mexico.

She mentioned spending time with an old childhood friend...

A friend named Joaquin.

Carmen, is Nicolas' real name Joaquin?

No.

Elena had many friends back in México, Christopher.

Joaquin was another boy.

You know that despite all the craziness

that's happened between Elena and I

over the past few months...

That I will always, always love her.

She's the best person I know.

And that person wouldn't seek out vengeance

the way she did.

It was Nicolas.

He used her anger and hurt

over what J.R. did to your husband

to push her down a dark road,

and I know that there is some self-serving reason why.

Carmen...

whatever you know about Nicolas, I must know.

You leave Elena and Nicolas alone, Christopher!

Nicolas is a decent man.

He would never mislead my family

the way your family has misled mine!

- Carmen, Carmen, y... - Please leave!

All right.

Hi!

Can I blow them out now?

Happy birthday to you.

How do you feel? You're 7 years...

Boy, they grow up fast, don't they, Cal?

What are you doing here?

Oh, come on, now.

I wouldn't miss your grandson's birthday party.

- - Got a minute to talk about tomorrow's I.P.O.?

Look, John Ross.

I know your daddy did business

strong-arming people with blackmail.

That's not gonna work on me.

I'm well aware.

See, I did a deep dive on you, Cal.

You're a good man.

You just... happen to have made

some real bad business investments.

You bet big on mortgage-backed securities years ago,

and you lost...

Everything you had and some you didn't.

Been trying to dig yourself out of that hole ever since.

Am I right?

You see, one thing my daddy taught me

is that there is good in the worst of us,

but there's also bad in the best of us.

Now, the good in me is about to make you one hell of an offer.

And the bad in you might just be greedy enough to take it.

John Ross, this is not...

$10 million... cash.

As long as you make sure that all the shares

for the 48% of Ewing Global being offered

go to sheik Sherif Ali.

That's a hell of a bribe, John Ross.

I prefer to call it

a significant liquidity opportunity.

No, man. No, no, no.

I... I could never do that to Bobby.

Ah. Bobby.

Bobby's gonna be just fine.

But you know who's gonna be better than fine?

Little Billy over there.

Your entire family... set for life.

What do you say, Cal?

We got a deal?

Dallas S03E37 "Victims of Love"

Sync and corrected by Gianluca Belfiglio

Sweetheart, it's your father again.

Please call me back. I need to talk to you.

Is everything all right?

It's my father calling again.

I know exactly what he wants.

He wants me to let him out of prison.

And you're not sure that you want to do that.

He told me he didn't kill J.R.

but I was too angry to listen.

Angry because he knew I was on that rig

and gave the order to blow it anyway.

Angry because he killed my babies and got away with it.

But...

just because he got away with that crime,

does it make it right

for him to rot in jail for another he didn't commit?

I can tell you that, for me,

the hardest part of knowing the truth about J.R.'s plan

was not being able to confront him

on why he did what he did...

On how he felt so entitled to lie to all of us.

As a result, I'm afraid, um...

I'm never going to be able to move on.

But, Pamela, you have a chance with your father.

If at least you'll talk to him.

Let me get this straight.

Your daughter sat down with a top general

from the Mendez-Ochoa Cartel, struck a new deal,

which involves moving more drugs more quickly,

and you want CIA approval and protection

to honor those terms.

George, if we don't honor this deal,

I'm putting my daughter's life at risk.

Increasing the cartel's cash flow means more arms,

more payoffs at every level, more money to buy votes.

With the election less than a month away,

You accelerate the cartel's timetable

for taking over the Mexican Government.

Well, if the threat is so imminent,

now is the time to take them down.

Now is the time.

The CIA will not make a move on the cartel

until we have eyes on their leader.

This guy... El Pozolero...

He's like a ghost who only appears to inflict horror.

Last week alone,

he killed 75 villagers who dared oppose him.

He boiled them in acid in front of their families.

We share a 2,000-mile border with Mexico.

You really want that psychopath

controlling their next president?

I need some time.

Time to extricate Emma from the deal that she's made.
