Previously on "Dallas"...
She's still under the influence. They found these in her vehicle.
Let her spend the night in jail.
What?!
We're not bailing you out
until you agree to rehab.
I need a blood hound.
Ken Richards, Former Commissioner of T.E.S.H.A.
looks like he skipped town.
I'm on it.
J.R. was seen with a woman that night down in Nuevo Laredo.
I have found this woman.
She's a hostess... An American.
I'm so sorry, what happened to your brother.
That cargo I got busted for must've been worth some weight,
because Roy, he said if I didn't...
If you didn't what? Drew, what?
Blow the Ewing rig.
They said they would kill you.
Two unborn babies died... Christopher's babies.
[John Ross] Do you think Elena knows where her brother is?
- No. - You sure about that?
Here, take this. Number's untraceable.
I'm not going to Mexico until I find Roy.
Be careful.
The Dern International Office in Switzerland thinks
one of their people saw my mother.
Is that her, Bobby?
[Bobby] It's been 24 years.
I can't tell, son.
Pamela persuaded her father
to give her 1/3 of Barnes Global.
So we need Pamela's shares.
My father killed my babies.
How could you possibly think
I could ever side with him again?
Actions speak louder than words, darling.
I now pronounce you man and wife.
You may kiss the bride.
Anybody got a check for $200 million around here?
[Bobby] Hubris... Cliff Barnes' Achilles heel.
If J.R. were here, he'd just say,
"Let that bastard go all in, think he's won.
Let him be the architect of his own disaster."
Well, big brother, as you wish.
[Pamela] I always dreamed my wedding ring would come
from a gumball machine.
[John Ross] Well, I don't know if you've heard,
but my family's in the midst of some financial difficulties.
[telephone ringing]
[telephone beeps]
- Hi, daddy. - [Cliff] Hey, Pam.
I thought you were gonna be back from Vegas by now.
You're missing out on all the fun.
Sorry.
My meeting with the casino ran late,
and I had something important I needed to do.
Well, everything is playing out in our favor.
It's the ultimate payback
for what Jock did to digger all those years ago.
Couldn't have done it without you, babe.
[inhales deeply]
I'll see you soon.
Bye, honey.
Where do you want us to put all this stuff?
[chuckling] Put it on the street
for all I care.
[John Ross] You okay?
[sighs]
For a moment there,
I almost forgot about the toxic mess
I'm returning to in Dallas.
Well, you're not gonna return to it alone.
Whatever battles we face from here on,
we fight together.
And we'll take down your father.
Together.
How much time do we have left until we touch down in reality?
Let's see, shall we?
[groans]
[tablet beeps]
We got an hour and 10 minutes.
Want to see where your dad's been flying to?
Chicago, Los Angeles.
Wait.
What is it?
Uncle Bobby.
Hey, look, I'm flying back from Vegas on Cliff's plane,
and I'm checking out this flight tracker.
Cliff's plane was in Nuevo Laredo
the night that J.R. was killed.
It was Cliff, uncle Bobby.
It was Cliff.
All right, John Ross.
Get to Southfork as soon as you can.
[cellphone beeps]
[sighs]
[cellphone beeping]
Bum, it's Bobby.
Time to put the plan in motion.
Dallas S02E24 "Guilt by Association"
Sync and corrected by Gianluca Belfiglio www.addic7ed.com
[John Ross] I knew no petty mugger could take down J.R.
It was Cliff all along.
You don't know that for sure.
Oh, come on, Pamela.
John Ross, all that tells us is
that his plane was in Nuevo Laredo that night.
That is all we needed to know.
Ain't nobody else could've been on that plane but him.
Tell her, uncle Bobby. We have to call the police.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, John Ross.
Now, if Cliff was there,
and if he did it,
then this, along with the nothing
that the police department in Nuevo Laredo came up with,
will not bring him to justice.
So, what? He just gets away with murder?
Just like he got away with the rig explosion?
[Pamela] My father is many things,
but he is not a cold-blooded killer.
Are you kidding me?
He killed your babies, Pamela.
Not intentionally. He didn't know I'd be on the rig.
Why are you so reluctant to believe this
after everything that man has done?
She's right, John Ross.
Until we're certain, we can't do anything.
So, how the hell do we get more certain?
I think I know someone...
who can help.
[cellphone rings]
[cellphone beeps]
Hey, mom, I'm so sorry I forgot to call you when we landed.
We just checked in a little while ago.
Is Christopher with you?
No, he's downstairs in the lobby,
talking to the detective about his mother.
I'm worried sick about your brother, mija.
Have you heard from him?
No.
I can't help it, Elli.
Every time the phone rings, I think someone's calling to say
that he's been arrested or hurt...
or peor.
Okay. Mama, I will call him.
Okay, but I have to go.
Christopher's due back any minute.
Gracias, mija.
[exhales raggedly]
[cellphone beeps]
[ringing]
[cellphone vibrates]
[cellphone beeps]
Elli?
Drew, mom wanted me to call you.
She's worried sick about you.
Tell her I'm fine.
Drew, please, just give up on finding Roy.
Okay? It's too dangerous. Just go to Mexico.
You know I can't do that.
I need to make things right.
Without Roy, the Ewings won't be able
to connect Ryland to the rig explosion.
I know what I'm doing.
[lock beeps]
I have to go.
[cellphone snaps shut]
- Hey. - Hey.
Who were you talking to?
Oh, it was my mom.
She wanted to make sure we landed safely.
How'd it go?
My mother's bank account's registered
to a home address...
A man by the name of David Gordon.
Apparently, he's an American.
Used to be a plastic surgeon.
Do you think Pamela lives there?
There's only one way to find out.
I'm headed over now.
Christopher, are you sure you're prepared for this?
- 'Cause if there's anyth... - I'm fine.
You haven't seen your mother in over 25 years.
You must be feeling something.
Actually, I'm not.
Because the woman I'm about to see
ceased to be my mother the day she abandoned me.
- You keep saying that. - Because it's the truth.
But after all this time, don't you want an explanation?
All I want from her now are her shares
so I can take down Cliff.
Wish me luck.
Good luck.
Hello, Ken.
How did you track me down?
An old friend of J.R.'s.
He has a gift for finding people who don't want to be found.
Well, you shouldn't have wasted your time coming here.
I need hard evidence
of the Governor's involvement in the T.E.S.H.A. cover up.
I can't do it.
I know you're a good man, Ken.
And I know you want to help me,
but the fact that you won't
and that you're hiding out down here in the Cayman Islands
tells me the Governor's got something on you.
This is bigger than the rig explosion now.
The Governor is allowing Cliff and Ryland
to take away everything from us.
You have got to help us.
I can't do it, Sue Ellen. I just can't.
Why not?
Several years ago, my son founded a tech company.
But right when everything was about to take off,
there was findings that the company was dumping
toxic chemicals near a river.
The fines would've wiped him out,
so I made him promise to change their methods,
and I buried the report.
The Governor knows about it,
and he's been holding it over my head ever since.
Of all people,
I understand breaking a few rules
to protect your child.
Yeah, but I doubt the attorney general
will share your perspective.
What if I promise to protect you?
You know there's no way you'll be able to do that.
I'm afraid you have underestimated me.
It's nothing personal, Sue Ellen,
but you don't have the power.
If you don't give me proof of the T.E.S.H.A. cover-up
and trust that I will protect you,
I will look into that tech company...
and expose you myself.
Just a little something I learned from J.R.
If you can't count on someone to do the right thing,
don't give them the choice.
[doorbell rings]
[sighs]
[footsteps approach]
Hello.
Dr. David Gordon?
Yes.
I'm Christopher Ewing.
I... I...
Y... Your mother's not here, uh, Christopher.
You... You shouldn't have come.
Wait. Um...
D... Do you have any idea where I could find her?
I'm sorry. I can't help you.
Please, Dr. Gordon.
It's imperative that I speak to her.
I told you she's not here.
But you know where she is.
[clattering in distance]
Uh, Christopher.
Just wait a minute.
Christopher.
You need to leave immediately.
[clattering continues]
You're not my mother.
Are you satisfied?
Who are you?
I'm not leaving here until you tell me the truth.
Christopher, I...
I'm your mother's husband.
I was her surgeon after the accident.
We fell in love.
Where is she?
I want to see my mother!
Yes, you've made that quite clear.
Except that she doesn't want to see you.
How could you know that?
'Cause I was there the night that your uncle Cliff found her
In Houston after she disappeared.
He asked her to come back to Dallas
to be with him and Bobby and you.
She said no.
She said that that part of her life had ended.
No, I... M... My uncle Cliff never said anything about that.
Maybe he was just trying to save you some heartache.
Well, even if that's true, I still need to see her.
Uncle Cliff is attacking my family,
and I need her help to stop him.
Well, you're wasting your time.
Your mother travelled halfway across the world
to get away from the Barnes/Ewing feud,
and apparently, she didn't go far enough.
Look, I am very sorry that you had to come
all this way for nothing, Christopher,
but she's adamant.
Your mother never wants to see you again.
Now, if you're not going to go,
then I'm going to have to call the police.
[breathing raggedly, sniffles]
Okay.
Thank you.
Yeah, we'll be right there.
[cellphone beeps] What was that?
That was a nurse
from the detox center at the jail.
Emma wants us to pick her up.
She's agreed to go to rehab.
[sighs]
Well, all right.
We'll go get her.
[door opens]
[Elena] Hey.
How'd it go?
Oh, no.
What'd she say?
I didn't see her.
What happened?
Christopher, please, talk to me.
I talked to her husband.
He said my mother never wants to see me again.
[scoffs]
It was like I was 7 years old
and my father was telling me my mother was never coming home.
How could she not want to see her own son again?
I don't know.
Christopher, listen to me.
There's only one person who can answer that question,
and now that we know that Pamela's
definitely in Zurich, we are not leaving
until you confront her face-to-face, okay?
Yeah.
[sighs]
I'm glad you're here.
Me too.
[Bobby] John Ross, Pamela,
I'd like you to meet Rhonda Simmons.
You were with my father the night he was killed?
John Ross, J.R. went on and on about you.
He sure was proud.
[Bobby] Rhonda also gave us the lead
that connected Ryland to the Mexican drug cartel.
After that, Carlos thought it'd be best if she left Mexico,
so I moved her up here.
Got me an apartment, a job.
Thanks again for everything you've done.
No, no. It's the least we could do,
but right now I want to see if you can help us again.
Whatever I can do.
Have you ever seen this man before?
Yeah. I have.
Do you remember when? Where?
Yes.
He was at the club the night J.R. was killed.
No. No. No. Look again.
Are you certain?
Definitely.
He was staring at us all night.
I thought he was just some creep.
Is that enough proof for you?
No. No. Uh... Let me talk to him.
Now are you certain that Cliff killed J.R.?
Yes. I am.
Good.
Call Derrick. Have him arrested.
I'm afraid it's not that easy, John Ross.
The crime was committed in Mexico.
The sheriff doesn't have jurisdiction down there.
Okay.
Let's call Carlos.
He'll pull some strings, have Cliff extradited.
We'll have him arrested there.
Even if we could pull that off,
all we can prove is that Cliff was at the club.
That doesn't guarantee a conviction.
[sighs]
Well, if I can't put him in jail,
I'll put him in the ground.
The gun that J.R. gave me. I want it. I know what it's for.
- That's not what it's for. - Then, damn it, uncle Bobby,
you tell me what it's for!
He killed your brother, my father!
We cannot let him get away with this!
And we won't.
Whatever you were holding onto,
whatever J.R. gave you, now is the time.
Not yet.
You have to trust me on this, John Ross.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt
After everything you've done.
It's your turn now.
Remember what your father wrote you.
"Use what I've given you to take from them
what they want to take from us,
and then Bobby will know what to do."
[breathes deeply]
I've done it.
I married Pamela.
I've got her shares of Barnes Global.
What else is there?
Christopher needs to get his mother's shares.
[sighs]
What are we supposed to do, huh?
Sit around here with our thumbs up our asses?
No.
We make sure that when we finally do have
control of Barnes Global,
there's enough proof in place to implicate Cliff
for the murder of J.R.
How the hell are we supposed to do that?
I have a way.
I need a day to get everything ready.
And we're gonna need Pamela's help.
Yeah, I'll be outside her house,
but I also want someone at the bank.
Okay. Thanks.
[cellphone beeps]
[shower water running]
[scoffs]
[cellphone beeps]
[cellphone vibrating]
[cellphone beeps]
Elli, I told you not to worry.
Drew?
[cellphone beeps, snaps]
You've been talking to Drew? Are you kidding me?!
But, Christopher, he's my brother.
He killed my babies!
No, not on purpose.
They told him that no one would be on that rig.
Are you really making excuses for him?!
No, he didn't have a choice, Christopher.
They told him they would kill me.
How do you even know that's true?
That that's not just a lie he used to get you to help him?
- Where is he? - He's trying to find Roy.
Christopher, he is trying to make things right.
There's no making this right! My children are dead!
I didn't know what else to do, okay?
He said without Roy,
there was no connection to Ryland.
I had to let him go.
"Let him go"?
You knew where he was?
You knew where he was, and you let him go?!
You lied to me!
To my family!
I'm sorry, Christopher.
[voice breaking] I am so sorry.
Bullshit!
You know something?
After all Pamela's lies, her betrayal,
you were the one person I thought I could trust.
Always.
Well, I guess I was wrong.
No, Christopher. Please, let's talk about this.
There's nothing left to talk about!
Except when I get back here, you better be gone.
Good morning.
How'd you sleep?
Not well.
The nurse told me just half in the mornings,
then we'll gradually decrease the frequency.
Okay?
And on Monday, you'll start rehab.
[sighs]
[cellphone ringing]
[scoffs]
Christopher, please, just call me back already,
or just come back to the hotel,
but you have to let me fix this.
Please.
I love you, Christopher.
[knock on door] [woman] Governor?
Ah, Sue Ellen.
What brings you in from Dallas, huh?
Actually, from the Cayman Islands...
where I had a lovely breakfast with Ken Richards.
Ugh. Good ol' Ken.
So, how is he enjoying his retirement?
Boy, I... I hope he's wearing sunblock down there.
As I recall, he gets burned easily.
I, uh, I gave him the news
of the rig explosion that was sabotage, after all.
And, you know, he wasn't surprised.
I'm sure you weren't, either.
Sue Ellen, you know,
I've got a charity function I need to attend,
so if you just can move along.
He also gave me a copy
of a rather interesting document.
It's, um, the initial findings report
that was submitted to your office
from T.E.S.H.A.'s investigation of the rig explosion.
What I find very interesting is that there's proof
that there were two explosions.
Proof that your office redacted and then refused to publish.
Yeah, that is interesting, Sue Ellen.
It's very interesting.
But you know what I think is even more interesting than that?
Is why Ken would bring this to you
when he knows that if he were to do that,
he'd find himself in some serious trouble of his own.
I gave him my word I'd protect him.
Well, that's very nice of you.
It was completely delusional, but it was very nice.
Now, you know damn well that if you do anything
with this report... Anything at all...
There'll be nothing stopping me from taking Ken down.
I do.
And yet you're still here.
Ah.
I see.
Boy.
Ken should've known better than to ever trust you...
'cause you can never trust a drunk.
That's right.
And I have been a drunk most of my life.
I used alcohol to allow myself
to do things I could never do sober,
like lie and get taken advantage of
by men like you.
But today, I don't need a drink.
This drink, Governor, is for you.
You're gonna need it,
Because now that I have the goods on you,
you're going to do what I want.
So...
Let's discuss eminent domain.
[bells jingling]
♪ music plays ♪
What can I get you?
Mikki, right?
That's right, sugar.
I've heard a lot about you.
I'm a friend of Roy's.
Is that so?
Yeah.
He been around lately?
You're such good friends,
how come you're asking me where he is?
[chuckles]
Yeah.
Just need to talk to him about something.
Uh, if he shows up, would you mind...
giving me a call?
I'm staying here at the Red Branch Motel,
room 257.
Just do me a favor.
Um, don't tell him you saw me, okay?
Okay.
- Thanks for your help. - Sure.
[bells jingling]
[cellphone beeps]
[cellphone rings]
[cellphone beeps]
- Hey, baby. - Hey.
Listen, this guy just walked in here,
looking for you.
Funny accent.
Says he's a friend of yours.
You didn't tell him anything, did you?
No.
I do know where he's staying.
Good girl.
I'll call you back.
Emma.
[sighs]
You were right.
Leaving home only brought chaos.
I started taking more and more pills.
That's why I got in that car accident.
I took too many.
[sighs]
I wanted to call you at the police station,
but Ann told the police not to let me.
She's trying to make me look like I'm a drug addict.
That I need to go to rehab.
I want to come home, daddy.
I'll get you the best detox experts
to get you back on your medication schedule.
We'll keep the chaos at bay together.
Welcome home.
Have John Ross come in.
Hey.
You okay?
[sighs]
I was just thinking how screwed up everything is.
I married you.
I love you.
And now I worry that every time you look at me,
you're connecting me to what my father did.
You are not responsible for anything he did.
And it doesn't change the way I feel about you.
Come here.
But I'm gonna need your help
if I'm gonna be able to take him down.
That's J.R.'s belt buckle.
I thought you said it was stolen when they found his body.
It's a copy.
Uncle Bobby thinks
that if we can plant it on Cliff,
it'll help us tie him to the murder.
You want me to frame my father?
For something that he did.
We may not be able to prove
that he killed your babies, Pamela,
but at least we can make him pay for killing J.R.
You and I, we both deserve justice.
[engine shuts off]
[telephone rings]
Yeah?
Okay, thanks.
[engine revs]
[tires squeal]
[siren wailing]
Sir, we got a call
that an armed man was chasing a motorcycle.
I'm gonna need you to put your hands on the steering wheel.
Officer, there's been a mistake. You know who that is?
I said hands on the wheel.
It's Drew Ramos.
He's wanted for blowing up the Ewing rig.
Wait.
No, that's not possible.
Sir, I'm gonna need you to step outside the vehicle
and put your hands behind your head.
What for? I didn't do anything.
How about the possession of narcotics?
That stuff's not mine!
He planted it in my car!
Don't make me ask you again.
[Bobby] Sue Ellen.
So, how'd it go with the Governor?
Well, he wasn't very happy about it,
but, um, I think he might be
a little more amenable to our requests now.
Great job.
Thanks.
And just in time.
[cellphone rings]
[cellphone beeps]
Hello?
Mr. Ewing, it's... it's Drew.
Drew?
Where are you?
I just want you to know
that Roy Vickers has been arrested
for possession of narcotics.
The same narcotics Ryland has been transporting as shoes.
They're made from high-impact, pressure-molded cocaine.
You should be able to leverage charges against him
- to get what you need on Ryland. - Drew...
Son, you're still gonna have to turn yourself in.
I'm sorry, Mr. Ewing.
Thank you for everything you have done for my family.
Please tell Christopher...
I'm sorry.
[click]
Drew?
I tried to explain it to him, mama.
I told him they threatened to kill me.
Drew didn't have a choice.
Escúchame, Elli.
Drew is my son.
I love him more than you do.
But he had other choices.
He could've gone to the police.
He could've gone to the Ewings and told them
someone was trying to hurt you.
He could've come to us.
We both helped him.
Lying to Christopher was wrong.
Go to him and apologize.
You did what you thought was right for your family,
but now you realize you were wrong.
I tried to apologize, mama.
He doesn't want to talk to me.
He won't answer his phone.
Then give him time.
He's a good man.
He'll forgive you.
He has to.
Tú eres su amor, Elli.
Thank you.
What is it?
Grandma wentworth's engagement ring.
The one that digger gave her.
Not too shabby for digger Barnes.
My father told me when I finally brought home
a man he approved of, it would be mine.
I wanted his approval so badly.
Hey.
When all this is over, I'm gonna buy you
the most beautiful ring you've ever seen.
We'll get a fresh start.
I'd like that.
[cellphone rings]
Yeah?
My mother's clearing out her account?
No. Don't... Don't confront her.
I'm on my way.
Damn it. That's not it.
[sighs]
[Harris] Emma!
What the hell you doing in here?
Excuse me!
Hey!
Mom.
- Who are you? - Christopher.
Where's my mother?!
Oh, my God.
What is it?
It's Pam Ewing's death certificate.
Christopher's mother is dead.
