Dallas

That was one hell of a race.

I'd say you're golden, golden boy.

Give us back Elena's shares

or we're never turning that oil back on.

You want to hurt this company

by keeping that oil off, go ahead.

What was it about her

that you couldn't put out of your mind

for all of these years?

'Cause she wasn't you.

I'm asking you nicely to get off this property, Harris.

What are you gonna do, Annie, shoot me again?

- In front of our daughter? - No, but I will.

I'm gonna keep working on Gary to get that oil turned back on.

I don't see why I should stop doing business

just because J.R.'s gone.

I want to buy back the land from the Ewings.

Go into business with me.

When I was miss Texas and I met J.R., I fell in love.

It's enough to drive a girl to drink.

I brought you a message from J.R.

"If you're reading this, it means I'm dead,

and if I'm dead, that means Barnes is coming after you.

Taking down Harris Ryland would be my masterpiece.

I bet my last nickel

Barnes will join forces with Ryland to destroy us."

My father's six feet under,

and he's still got us working for him.

How you doing?

Doing okay.

So, how are we doing on J.R.'s plan?

"Use what I've given you to take from them

what they want to take from us."

With Cliff, it's always been about destroying Ewing Oil.

Maybe J.R. wanted us to hit Cliff back

before he could hit Ewing Energies.

And this is a summary

of the financial reports for Barnes Global,

dating all the way back to its inception,

when it was started by Cliff's mother.

Now, she divided that company up between the three children,

Pamela, Cliff, and Katherine.

Katherine is dead.

So, if Pamela's still alive,

she could be a silent partner in Barnes Global.

Maybe that's why J.R. was looking for her,

to help us take Cliff down.

If my mother's still alive, I'll find her.

It's about time I did.

I still think Harris

has something to do with my father's death,

and what are his trucks doing in Mexico?

John Ross, I have Carlos del Sol working on that.

Uncle Bobby, we need you to tell us what J.R.'s letter says.

And what the hell this gun's about.

As soon as we implement all of J.R.'s master plan,

because that's the way he wanted it.

Now, we've got to get to the will reading,

because if we're late, I'm sure he will give us nightmares.

I'll, uh... I'll lock the files up.

Okay.

We'll see you there.

Okay.

Look, I really got to go.

Mm, seriously. I have to go.

We should hurry then.

All right.

"I, John Ross Ewing II of Dallas,

in the state of Texas, being of sound mind,

hereby declare that this is my last will and testament.

Revoke all other wills and codicils previously made by me.

I bequeath my entire collection of boots to my brother Bobby,

on the condition that he take better care of the damn things

than he takes care of his own.

To my brother Gary, I leave my prized bottle of scotch.

To my nephew Christopher,

I leave my copy of 'The Prince' by Machiavelli.

Use it because being smart and sneaky

is an unbeatable combination.

To my sister-in-law Ann,

I leave my favorite dove-hunting gun.

Unless she is the reason you're reading this will."

To my ex-wife, Sue Ellen Ewing, I leave my heart,

because she's the only woman I ever loved."

I also leave her half of my rights

to the oil under Southfork.

The other half I leave to my son, John Ross,

the best man I know,

and he got that way with very little help from me."

Miss Ellie Ewing gave orders that this envelope

was not to be opened until after J.R.'s passing.

So, here we are today.

"My son J.R. was many things, but he was not a rancher.

that's why I left my beloved Southfork to Bobby.

But I hope you understand, Bobby, that J.R.'s sins

should not be visited upon my grandson, John Ross.

That is why I bequeath half the title of Southfork...

to him."

Dallas S02E19 "Ewings Unite!"

My daddy used to say, "It's a gift from providence

when two powerful men share the same enemy."

I'm listening.

I know the Ewings have cost you your only child,

and I've lost my daughter to the Ewings.

The Ewings drove my father to drink,

left him penniless and broken.

He was a shadow of a brilliant man that I grew up adoring.

And I would be betraying the Barnes name

if I died without doing to the Ewings

what they did to him.

Well, I hope you don't mind my saying so, Cliff,

but your 20/20 hindsight on digger Barnes

might be a bit romanticized.

Yeah, well, he wasn't perfect,

but it was his nose for oil

that found the riches that the Ewings now enjoy.

They stole his legacy and mine.

Well, you're right, of course.

I'm out for blood, as far as the ewings are concerned.

But we're businessmen.

Let's talk business.

You have certain assets that I don't have, Ryland.

Muscle, for one.

Certain friendship with our Governor.

You use those assets to help me take down the Ewings,

and I will give you enough money to buy Ryland Transport

right out from underneath your mother's control.

I'm in.

The money you'll save

just by running your busses on my methane

will pay for converting your entire city fleet.

More wine?

You're trying to get me drunk

to get me to do something I shouldn't.

Me? Never.

Mm.

You know, I'm ready to sign that contract

any time you're ready.

Oh, honey, I'm always ready.

But there is a bit of a problem that's come up.

There's a new player bidding for the deal.

- Who? - Barnes Global.

They made an oil bid that undercut your price.

You said if I won the race, that contract was mine.

Well, the Barnes people have the rest of the board

believing that you can't deliver,

that your technology is speculative at best.

That's a lie.

That is why I convinced my colleagues

that they needed to see your rig in action this week.

I'm pretty sure I can get them to vote your way.

I'm gonna need more than a week to get things up to speed.

That's a big ask.

What can you offer me in exchange?

I can offer you a technology

that'll get your face on the front page

of every newspaper in Texas.

You have one week.

I suggest you make the most of it

or the deal goes to Barnes Global.

And then she tells me

Cliff's trying to undercut my bid for the DCT contract.

This is exactly what J.R. predicted, dad.

J.R. knew Cliff would waste no time coming at us.

It's right on schedule.

And she's only giving me a week to get the rig ready.

And I'm gonna have to rush it or we're never gonna make it work.

John Ross know this?

Yeah. I... I told him.

Sally, have John Ross step into my office, please.

Wait, what are you thinking?

You wanted to see me?

Shut the door.

Sit down, y'all.

I've decided it's time to turn back on Southfork Oil.

You don't have to do that. We'll get the DCT deal.

Barnes Global is a multibillion-dollar company.

We need all the money we can get.

Thank you, uncle Bobby.

Mama gave you half of Southfork.

I don't like it. I don't understand it.

But there's nothing I can do about it.

Your daddy justified a lot of his behavior

by claiming he was cheated out of his birthright.

You do not have that excuse now.

Yes, sir.

All right.

We are up against a very dangerous man

with a lot of money,

who will stop at nothing to destroy this family.

The only hope we have of surviving

is if we stick together.

All right.

First order of business, we have to make Alison Jones

start seeing things our way again.

And since J.R.'s dead,

we have to find our own inner junkyard dog.

Meaning?

Meaning it's time to take the gloves off, boys.

Well, it's about time.
