Dallas

Previously on "Dallas"...

You said to get you a meeting

with the Railroad Commissioner as soon as possible.

Wait, now now? The ceremony's in a few hours.

Stanley's a friend of mine.

Because of that, he's willing to do me certain favors

like shutting down the investigation

and issuing you your permit.

I guess this is where I ask you what you want.

The orange flash drive.

That must be one hell of an important flash drive.

Take it to this address,

you'll get what you want from Babcock.

What kind of sick, messed-up dude is this?

Now that you know, I'm sure he'll do whatever you need

to make sure that you can drill your ranch.

You are entirely too overdressed for this barn.

I know you're sleeping with Emma.

I will not stand by and watch you destroy Pamela

like J.R. destroyed me.

Is that alcohol I smell on your breath?

You promised me you would be here.

We are meant for each other.

I just need you to give me the chance.

John Ross and Pamela are now husband and wife.

I can't imagine how low your son had to stoop.

Now I don't have a move left

to stop him from drilling this ranch.

But I do.

What are you looking at?

The world.

You ready to go rule it?

I feel like I've been asleep at the wheel

for the past few weeks.

Well, you've been planning a wedding.

Yeah, while you were busting your ass

getting capital to bid on the arctic leases.

I was no help.

Look, we got the capital,

or at least we will as soon as I start drilling Southfork.

Speaking of...

Hey, can you, uh, take us by the drill site?

I actually want to see what kind of progress we're making.

Yes, sir.

Before we bid on the leases,

we need to submit paperwork that we got icebreaker ships.

If you sent me the Ryland Transport deal,

I could get started on that.

That deal's closed, right?

We're still negotiating.

Or I could talk to Emma about it.

She and I are pretty close now.

You know, uh, I'm pretty close to closing that deal on my own.

I mean, I don't want to call dibs, but...

Oh, no, no, no. Um...

I get it.

I'll find something to sink my teeth into.

Like you sank your teeth into me on our honeymoon?

Bo, why aren't we drilling?

One of the men dropped his tools down the wellbore.

Drill bit chewed on those for a while.

We got to fish out the tools and repair the bit.

I'm sorry, boss.

How far is this gonna set us back?

About a day, day and a half.

Look, we're working as hard as we can.

- Can you and your boys work tonight? - We're run pretty ragged.

So you won't mind if I hire some other guys for a night shift,

double the pay?

I'll talk to the others.

You're a good man, Bo.

Hell, I'll even throw in for a coffee truck.

Uh, do you know what?

Call ahead, 'cause I do not want to sit next to...

uh, Shirley? Is that her name?

Sue Ellen, I'm very sorry, but we have a very busy day today.

Talk to Jessica, and she will reschedule.

I have a little something for you...

A gift.

J.R. bourbon.

Cute! Would you put this in my office?

Thanks.

I'll be a minute.

Well...

Let's make this fast, Sue Ellen.

In 15 minutes, I'm speaking

to the Daughters of the Texas Revolution.

That's 300 daughters with 300 guns in their purses.

That's a group of ladies you don't keep waiting, hmm?

I want you to ask Stanley Babcock,

the Texas Railroad Commissioner, to resign.

Now, why would I do that?

Well, I have it on good authority

that Stanley is involved in some illegal activities

that could be damaging to you and your office.

That is so sweet.

Would the real reason

have something to do with

your son drilling at Southfork?

Stanley gave my son a permit,

and I want you to replace Stanley

with someone who will revoke it.

Well, in case you hadn't heard, Texas is a pro-oil state.

If I replace him with someone who's anti,

that's, uh... that's like shooting my career in the foot.

I know that you and Stanley are good friends.

Well, his family does have the deepest pockets in Texas.

That's a good friend to have. Wouldn't you agree?

I would, especially if you're considering

running for president in 2016, if the rumors are true.

I'll need a running mate, hmm?

You will need a miracle

when I tell the voters that you conspired with criminals

to cover up the sabotage of my family's rig.

Good blackmail never sours.

Well, you spout your fiction, and I'll spout mine,

and we'll see who the people believe...

their trusted governor or you,

a woman who only recently was charged with bribery.

Good blackmail may never spoil, but it definitely curdles.

Either way, John Ross has dirt on Stanley.

If you don't get control of him,

John Ross will, and that won't be good for either one of you.

We'll take our chances.

So, how'd it go, Sue Ellen?

I think he took the bait.

Good work.

You're sure this whole plan is gonna work, right?

Men like my son and the governor have a lust for control.

I think it's time to remind them exactly who is in control.

Dallas S03E30 "D.T.R."

- Your coffee, sir. - Thank you, Diego.

How's Pamela?

She just got back from her honeymoon.

She seems happy.

Of all the things that the Ewings took from me,

my daughter... that has to be the worst thing of all.

And the Ewings deserve to rot in hell.

So, the gun range...

that was a dead end. That's forgivable.

But I must say, Mr. Treviño,

I'm more than just a little bit disappointed

that Bobby got to Rhonda.

She was our best lead.

The Ewings are very smart.

I'm paying you to be smarter.

The Ewings went to a lot of trouble to frame you.

They're going to push back.

But if exposing the truth of what they did to you

gets me justice for what they did to my father,

nothing will get in the way.

That's what I like to hear.

There's still the police file on the J.R. murder case.

There has to be something in there...

Clues, people who were paid off.

I know someone who can help.

Then make that a priority.

We'll keep you updated.

Uh...

keep an eye on him?

Hey.

Took you long enough to come find me.

You playing it cool?

Maybe.

Is it working?

Maybe.

Lousy cousin of yours fired three more of my friends today.

Is this a ranch or an oil field?

You know, John Ross won't be in charge much longer.

There's a plan.

Is there something you wanted?

I just came by to ask you if you want to get a drink tonight,

and also to apologize for not coming by sooner.

I just...

I didn't know what your expectations were.

Well...

cards on the table.

I'm not in the market for anything serious,

so if you're okay with that...

I just got out of a serious relationship,

so I'm not really in the market, either.

Then drinks it is.

Hey, Uncle Bobby.

I see you're admiring our new artwork.

I actually picked this bad boy up in Tulum.

Figured it'd look great in the office.

But if you don't like it here,

we can always move it to Southfork. No, no!

I... I think it's perfect here.

As a matter of fact, I love good art.

Jill?

Thanks.

Mama, you can't just stop talking to me.

Sit down. Shut the door.

Are you still sleeping with Emma?

I told you that was just business.

That's not the question I asked.

Are you or are you not still sleeping with Emma?

No.
