Dallas

Previously on "Dallas"...

I'm looking to get the contract

to provide fuel for every piece of transport in the city of Dallas.

What better way to get the attention of the DCT

than to have Ricky Rudd race my car...

And win?

7% of Ewing Energies,

full joint custody, and an annulment.

- 10% of the company. - We have a deal.

Judge: This jury found your ex-wife guilty on the facts.

You took away her daughter, made her believe she was dead.

You're not the victim here, Mr. Ryland.

We, the jury, sentence Ann Ryland Ewing to probation.

- You want a favor? - Not a favor, mother.

A partner.

Are you really gonna seize Elena's assets

- to help your son steal a company? - It's done.

I would like to introduce you to the newest board member here at Ewing Energies,

my mother.

Bobby: I never go looking for a fight.

But when one finds me, I sure as hell finish it.

And they are in for the fight of their lives.

Hey, daddy.

I should have heard from you by now.

I got tied up moving mom into Elena's office.

We could not have done this without mama, J.R.

But we finally did it.

We won.

Well, that's good news.

I was getting worried about you, boy.

Oh, well, don't be.

In fact, I'm about to walk into my first board meeting

- as head of Ewing Energies. - Well, good for you.

I'm gonna hold off on telling them I'm giving you the corner office.

I want you to be here to see the look on their faces when I do.

Wouldn't miss it.

You coming back from Abu Dhabi soon?

Just got to take care of something first.

Okay, daddy. See you then.

You ready...

Partner?

I know you and Bobby got your panties in a bunch

over me and mama taking control,

but let's try and keep it civil

so we can get some business done.

What you did

goes against everything this company stands for.

We're trying to do the best for this company, Christopher.

Not just for our side of the family,

but for all the Ewings.

We had hoped that you might have changed your mind, Sue Ellen.

But since you haven't,

you really leave us no alternative.

A file folder? I'm shaking in my boots.

It's a notice of termination

enforcing my father and Uncle Gary's mineral rights.

They're yanking the lease.

There will be no more drilling on Southfork.

You can't be serious.

Bobby: Until we get back controlling interest

in Ewing Energies,

you will not pump a drop of oil.

You'll bankrupt the company.

Not if your new boyfriend does what's right.

You want to try and bankrupt us? Go ahead.

We ain't gonna give you control back.

As long as we have majority,

we'll just find other ways to make revenue.

We'll sell off your methane patent.

You can't.

You don't have majority unless Pamela votes with you.

Otherwise we're deadlocked.

I'm not too worried about that, cousin.

I'm pretty sure I know where she stands.

Look... Before you pick a side...

There's something you need to see.

Come here.

When I win this race, I'm gonna land

a multi-million-dollar fuel contract with the DCT.

I am this close to making my technology profitable, Pamela.

I want what's best for this company.

And this standoff with the oil is a dangerous game.

What you're proposing will destroy Ewing Energies.

I'm gonna win this race,

and the company will be better for it.

If there was ever a part of you that really believed in me...

Then believe in me now.

Episode 7 - The Furious & The Fast

I've just cut off the phone with J.R.

Without the revenue from that oil,

He won't be able to close that deal in Abu Dhabi.

Don't worry, mama.

They'll have no choice but to get that oil turned back on

once Pamela sides with us.

I hope so.

Man: I'm here to see Bobby Ewing.

Well, look what the cat dragged in.

Uncle Gary.

Who the hell let you off the cul-de-sac ?

You sure know how to make me feel welcome, John Ross.

Just like your daddy.

Just surprised to see you back in Dallas, is all.

From what I remember, you couldn't stand it here

unless you were hiding behind miss Ellie's skirt

or a bottle.

I take it you've already heard

about Bobby and me shutting off your oil.

And, yeah, you're right.

I hate coming back to Dallas.

But seeing the look on your face

has already made my trip more than worthwhile.

I can't wait to see the look on J.R.'s face.

Where is the old son of a bitch?

Well, I hate to break it to you, but J.R.'s in Abu Dhabi

- closing some oil leases. - Ah.

Well, no worries.

This news will keep.

- Miss Jones. - Mr. Ewing.

Thanks for coming.

When you proposed converting our city fleet to methane,

I told you it was a long shot.

So, I agreed to let you put on this race

to sell us on the idea.

I mean, to get this thing through city council,

I have to convince a lot of oil-loving texans

to switch to natural gas.

That's like asking a 'horns fan

to root for the sooners.

I understand what I'm up against,

but the fact is, natural gas is the future.

It's not just more efficient,

it's more reliable.

And it's more powerful.

And this race will prove that.

All I'm asking you is for a chance

to show your committee what methane can do.

We're looking forward to being impressed.

Thank you.

You won't regret it.

We'll see about that.

Elli.

I'm in a bad mood, Drew.

If you don't want me to take it out on you,

I suggest you just run ahead.

Look, I'm sorry that I gave them the reason they needed

to kick you out of the company.

I'm so sorry, Elli.

You don't have to keep apologizing.

It wasn't all your fault.

Besides, getting kicked out of the company

pales in comparison to being held hostage.

You saved my life, Drew.

Maybe I saved you.

But I-I couldn't run fast enough to save papi.

That wasn't your fault.

You were 11.

And I'll always wonder if I...

If I could have done more.

But there's still one thing I can do for him.

There's no oil under that land.

We don't know that. We don't know that.

Not for sure.

The seismics the Ewings did are 2-dimensional

and 20 years old.

I've saved up enough money to do some 3-d seismics.

That's what the run to laredo was all about?

I've been saving for this for 10 years, Elli.

I need to know if there's any oil down there.

Look, if there isn't,

I'll let it go once and for all.

I promise.

But I owe it to papi to find out.

And to myself.

I'll talk to Christopher.

Let me guess.

Christopher made an impassioned speech

about the future of energy.

I hope he took it well when you blew him off.

I spoke to my father...

And we agree.

The company's stronger with oil and methane.

You're supposed to be my ally on the board.

You were supposed to have my back.

I had your back until you and Christopher

decided to play chicken with the company.

I'm doing what's right for my father and me.

Come on. Let's not pretend like we both

haven't been looking out for ourselves from the start.

I'm trying not to let my emotions get the best of me.

You should, too.

This feud between you and Christopher

is out of control.

That's the pot calling the kettle black, miss Barnes.

My father wants a healthy Ewing Energies.

I'll make a better ally in the long run than your father.

Force me to make a decision now,

and I'll go with Christopher.

Fine.

But just so we're clear,

without the fuel contract,
