Previously on "Dallas"...

I gave you a sizable loan to drill. You stopped.

You have one month to hit that oil.

I bought a lease on the Henderson land.

But we hit a salt dome.

I could really use your help.

Work for my little sister?

Word is, you got hired on

as the drilling foreman at the Ramos rig.

I would consider it a favor

if you did not strike oil for quite some time.

That was Tommy Sutter's blood in Pamela's condo.

This is now a homicide investigation.

We need to get Becky out of town.

I'll deal with her.

Tell me where the body of Tommy Sutter and the gun are.

I'll make sure they pop up.

Why should I trust you?

Because we both want to destroy Pamela.

I talked to Emma.

Ryland took her from the fair that day.

- Your father kidnapped you. - Rescued me.

There's nothing we can do to Harris Ryland.

The statute of limitations has passed.

Harris?

Harris?

Harris, are you in here?

No! No!!

Don't you leave me. Mama's here.

Emma, call 911!

Annie?

Annie, what's wro...

What have you done?

I overheard you with Rollie.

I couldn't let Harris get away with it.

I shot him, Bobby.

Derrick.

Evening, Christopher. Can we come in?

Yeah, yeah, come on in.

Is Mrs. Ewing in?

Is everything all right?

These are detectives from Dallas P.D.

They need to ask her a few questions.

Hello, Derrick.

Dad, what's going on?

Harris Ryland was found shot in his home.

He's in critical condition.

A car registered to Ann Ewing was seen leaving the house.

Well, we'll be happy to cooperate,

but I want to talk to my lawyer first.

He's not dead?

Mrs. Ewing, were you at Harris Ryland's house tonight?

Annie, don't say anything.

I told you...

We'll answer your questions after I speak to my lawyer.

Mrs. Ewing, did you have anything to do with the shooting?

I... Annie.

I'm the one that you want to talk to.

I shot Harris Ryland.

DALLAS S02 E04 - False Confessions

Sync and corrected by dr.jackson for www.addic7ed.com

Bobby Ewing, you have the right to remain silent.

- Bobby, no! - It'll be all right, Annie.

- Anything you say can and will... - No, you can't do this.

- Ma'am, please. - But Bobby...

No! Not another word.

Christopher, take her to the kitchen, please.

Ann, come on. It's gonna be all right.

May I have a minute alone with my wife, please?

I'm sorry, Mr. Ewing. We can't let you out of our sight.

Derrick...

I just want to make sure she's all right.

It's okay.

I vouch for him.

Thanks.

Bobby, you can't do this.

I shot him. Let them take me.

Dad, is that true?

Annie, this is the only way.

Why, Bobby?

Because Ryland has made you suffer enough.

He stole your daughter.

He spent 20 years poisoning her against you.

Annie, if you're gonna have any chance

of repairing that damage,

she can't think that you tried to kill her father.

She'd never forgive you,

and you'd lose her again, this time for good.

And I'll be fine. Trust me.

Christopher, call Lew Rosen, and then meet me at the station.

Of course.

- We will figure this out, okay? - Okay.

Okay.

Good morning.

The police found some of Tommy's blood in my old condo.

You did make quite a mess.

It was self-defense, Frank. He was gonna hurt me.

Without a body,

the police can't confirm Tommy's dead.

You can't be connected to a homicide case that doesn't exist.

Take two O.J.s and, strawberry pancakes.

Sorry, Frank.

You look just like the Butler.

Come on, babe.

Ms. Barnes, your father told me to keep you focused

after you got distracted with one Ewing.

I'd hope you wouldn't be so quick

to make the same mistake again.

There's blood, Frank.

That's the distraction to be worried about.

Because if anything comes of it,

it won't be me answering to my father.

It'll be you.

Shouldn't you be

in the interview room with my father?

The detectives finished taking his statement,

so we're waiting on the D.A. to make a charge.

The initial appearance before the judge will be in an hour.

I don't know what got into Bobby,

going after Ryland like that,

and then he refused to listen to me

and insisted on confessing.

I'm sure he has his reasons.

Yeah.

Detective Bota.

You have an update on the Tommy Sutter case?

I told you the blood we found was Tommy's, right?

Yeah.

Then you're up to date. That's it?

He's classified as a missing person

and there's still no body.

So... He's still a missing person.

I thought you were gonna question Pamela Barnes again.

We're working on that.

Whatever happened to Tommy Sutter,

she's responsible.

You found high-velocity blood spatter

in her condo, didn't you?

How much more obvious does it need to be?

Better leave it, Christopher.

Yeah, all right.

I need this, Lew.

After Becky pulled a no-show in court,

getting Pamela on criminal charges

is my only hope for this annulment

and to get custody of my children.

And this on top of what my father's now going through.

I know. Just be patient.

We'll get justice...

For you and for your father.

Yeah.

Mr. J.R. Ewing, this is Frank Ashkani.

What can I do for you, Frank?

You said if I told you the location

of Tommy Sutter's body

that you'll get rid of Pamela Barnes

and it won't come back to me.

Well, you have a deal.

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

I'll give you the information.

Just one more thing you have to know...

Your son is in bed with Pamela Barnes.

Robert James Ewing, you have been charged

with the attempted murder of Harris Ryland.

You've been read your rights. Bail is set at $1 million.

I'm gonna talk to Lew. You okay?

What's the next step?

You know, it's a long road ahead of us.

Got to prove Bobby had an alibi.

You went from an upstanding man like Harris

to a criminal like Bobby Ewing.

You really traded down, Ann.

How dare you use their names in the same sentence.

Bobby is the best man I've ever known,

and your son is a monster

who should be punished for what he did to me.

Then how unjust it must seem to you

that Bobby will be the one rotting in prison.

All right, I'll get to the bottom of it.

What's going on?

Bobby got arrested for shooting Harris Ryland.

Are you serious?

You think that will help us get him out of Ewing Energies?

You still got a lot to learn, boy.

When the family is in trouble, we don't take advantage.

You got a problem with me?

You're damn right I do.

I hear you've been cavorting with Pamela Barnes.

What do fathers say?

"I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed?"

Well, I am both!

Who I cavort with...

Ain't none of your business.

It is when her last name is "Barnes."

What do you want with Christopher's scraps, anyway?

I'm working her.

And apparently not learning from your mistakes.

You already got in bed with one crazy woman in that Marta.

Not a good idea to get in bed with another one.

I've got a plan to get her shares

of Ewing Energies after the divorce.

You let that Barnes girl get a piece of our company

and you're inviting a vampire into our home.

She'll suck the life out of us.

That's why I've seen to it that there won't be a divorce.

How's that?

I made a deal with Cliff's man, Frank.

We've got a plan to take Pamela out of the picture.

You must be getting senile in your old age, daddy.

'Cause I'm the one calling the shots here, remember?

You asked me to teach you every dirty trick I know

so we could take Ewing Energies.

I teach by example.

What do you and Frank plan on doing to Pamela?

You got feelings for this girl?

No.

Then why do you care?

Can you meet me someplace, mama?

I need a favor.

Well, we just hit 7,800 feet.

Something's not right here.

How do you mean?

This morning we were set to drill downdip

at 8% from north to south,

but according to these mud readings, now we're at 6%.

Did you change the angle?

I did.

We were taking a wide route around the salt dome.

I thought maybe we could save some time.

Problem is, at that angle, we won't clear it.

Are you sure about that?

Absolutely.

Well, if it's just that edge,

- then we just drill right through it. - That wasn't the plan.

You need to tell the driller

to get back onto the original path.

No, that's not necessary.

Drilling through salt brings unnecessary risks into play.

Those problems are manageable.

If you won't tell them to change course, then I will.

Well, you can't tell my crew what to do.

Then this isn't your crew anymore. You're fired.

Fine.

Just real fine, Drew.

I like what you've done with the place.

Thanks for coming.

Certainly sounded important.

I got to ask you something,

and, you cannot ask me why.

I need you to put me in touch with Cliff Barnes...

As soon as possible.

Why?

It's just business.

I know Pamela revealing that she's Cliff Barnes' daughter

has everybody at Southfork up in arms,

but if you and your father are plotting something

against Cliff, I won't be a facilitator in it.

Being caught in the middle of that war

nearly destroyed me once before.

This isn't like that.

J.R. doesn't know anything about this.

You're going to Cliff behind your father's back?

I've got no choice. J.R. won't listen to me.

If you make a move against your father with Cliff,

you better be prepared

to face the full weight of his fury.

I did it and I paid for it for years.

What I'm protecting is worth it.

Being J.R.'s son is no easy task.

Even when you hated him the most,

you were obsessed with being just like him,

convinced that that included his grudges.

Sometimes I think you forget...

That half of you is me.

You're your own man, John Ross.

Your decisions are your own.

Cliff's private number...

But be careful, 'cause this could change everything.

Looks like you're in a hurry. Where you headed?

None of Christopher's business.

What are you doing here?

We got to talk.

This is not the place.

But we have a problem.

Brian, how's everything going at the Henderson Well?

Well, I'm here to see Elena.

You know, she put her brother in charge of that oil rig.

He accused me of drilling in the wrong direction.

He fired me for it.

She's in her office.

- Thanks. - Yeah.

Later, John Ross.

Same old Drew.

I thought he was turning over a new leaf.

Elena and I think he has.

I think it's so cute how you guys agree on everything.

It's gonna make it so much easier when we're picking out China patterns.

You make sure I know where you're registered.

What were you and Brian talking about?

Just catching up. Is that right?

Look, you work on rigs for years, you tend to make friends.

Maybe it's different in laboratories,

where you guys just play with your own little microscopes all day.

I saw Sue Ellen here earlier.

Just checking out the new office.

I heard she read Elena the riot act

about not getting a return on her investment.

Well, my mother is a tough businesswoman.

She's also your mother, so I can't help but wonder

if her anger towards Elena

is being fueled by your resentment.

Look, a woman doesn't become that successful

by handing out courtesy deals.

Elena took her eye off the ball, and she got called on it.

A good criminal always has a good alibi.

Cousin, you are so paranoid.

You want to share an elevator?

Make sure I don't make a phone call

to plot against you and your girlfriend?

No, I figure the more slack I give you,

the sooner you'll make that noose to hang yourself.

You sure?

Positive.

Clyde, hey, it's your favorite client.

Look, I need you to dig up some dirt

on Elena's brother, Drew Ramos.

Shouldn't be too difficult.

He's always had a nose for trouble.

I need enough to get him fired.

If anytime called for a drink, it'd be now.

It's not like the old days, is it?

When we used to just knock 'em back

for no reason at all?

Tell me something, Bobby.

You really shoot Ryland, or are you just protecting

that trigger-happy wife of yours?

That's what I thought.

So, what? You gonna try and persuade me to recant?

Try to talk Bobby Ewing

out of what he believes is right?

I got a better chance of winning the good samaritan award.

It'd be close.

But do I have to figure out a way to win this trial, J.R.

You will... And if things get sticky,

just give me a wink.

I'll pay a visit to the judge and tug a string or two.

No baby brother of mine's

gonna spend his twilight years in jail.

What the hell, Drew?

- You fired my foreman. - Calm down.

You said you had everything under control.

And I did, and then Brian changed the coordinates on the GPS.

He had us drilling at the wrong angle.

And you always have to know better than everyone else.

You think I'm wrong?

No, I think you have a chip on your shoulder

from all the foremen who have fired you over the years.

Look, you don't believe me...

Here.

Use your fancy education and see for yourself.

He had you going back into the salt dome.

When I told him to get back on course, he refused.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

I know my track record isn't the best,

but that's the past.

I want to earn your trust.

Thank you for meeting with me, Mr. Barnes.

What can I do for you?

Well, I wanted to let you know

that your guy Frank... He's got a deal with J.R.

They're conspiring against your daughter.

J.R. plotting against my family is no secret.

What about Frank?

Frank is like family.

He's been with me for over 25 years.

Well, then he's about to forfeit one hell of a pension.

J.R. told me himself.

I figured if there was anybody that could stop him,

it'd be you.

Are you telling me

that you're willing to betray your own father?

Shouldn't come as a surprise that his performance as a father

hasn't exactly gained my undying loyalty.

Aren't you taking a dangerous risk being here,

talking to me behind his back?

Let's just say my interest depends on Pamela's well-being.

Why are you so interested in my daughter's well-being?

One of us should be.

If you'd have paid her more attention,

it wouldn't have come to this.

I took this meeting out of respect for your mother.

You've wasted enough of my time today.

Max, Marco...

You may not believe me, but you'd be foolish

not to check on what Frank is up to with J.R.

Goodbye, John Ross.

I feel so guilty.

Annie, you didn't do this. Bobby shot Harris.

He made his own choice, and he's gonna be okay.

Bobby's the strongest man I know.

Bobby did it for me...

Because of Emma.

Do you think I'll ever be able to make things right with her?

She hates me so much.

For things you didn't do.

Harris filled her head with lies.

And some truths, too.

I had some experience with a child who hated my guts.

Was it that bad with John Ross?

I have a scar

from when he threw a toy truck at my head.

When you have children, you can never give up,

no matter what.

You can't change the past.

The future... That's a different story.

Give me a beer... Shiner.

Coming up.

Let me ask you something, Brian.

When I saw you at the office earlier,

were you really there to see Elena?

Yeah.

'Cause you seemed a little nervous

when I caught you and John Ross talking.

Not sure I know what you're talking about.

Elena spoke to Drew.

You were drilling in the wrong direction.

You know, I'm already fired.

What, are you here to rub a salt into the wound?

Does seem like a pretty big mistake

for someone with 20 years of sidetracking experience.

You know,

you and my three ex-wives ought to get together

and swap stories about my incompetence.

Cut the crap, Brian.

John Ross put you up to it, didn't he?

Like I said... I had an off day.

I hope so... 'Cause if I find out

he bribed you to sabotage that well,

I'll make sure you never work in Texas again.

The body of a young man was discovered by two joggers

near white rock lake this afternoon.

The Dallas county coroner has identified the body

as that of Tommy Sutter,

the subject of a recently filed missing person's report.

Now that missing persons case has now been ruled a homicide.

Police said Sutter died

of a single gunshot wound to the chest.

A spokesperson also says

the last time Sutter was seen alive

was about two months ago.

Son of a bitch.

Frank Ashkani.

Frank, are you seeing this? Where the hell are you?!

Police already have a significant lead in this case

and are about to question a key person of interest.

This is Pamela.

I need to speak to my father immediately.

Hi.

When did you get home?

Just now.

What's wrong?

They found Tommy. He really is dead.

Does this mean Pamela...

I talked to Detective Bota.

The police are still searching the area

where they found the body.

They need more evidence to make an arrest,

but Pamela's a key person of interest.

You know, as much as I want that annulment,

custody of my children...

I mean, to think she actually killed him...

Sorry to interrupt. Front door was open.

You hear the news about Tommy?

I did, and it definitely bodes well for your case,

but that's not why I'm here.

I thought I heard you, Lew.

- Ann, is Bobby around? - He might be in the barn.

He wanted to go for a ride before dinner.

What's going on?

Lew, what is it?

Turns out Ryland filed a complaint against Bobby

when we went to his office a couple of days ago,

more specifically, when Bobby threatened to tear his head off.

So?

Now, since I was present when Bobby threatened Ryland,

it's as if I was witness to him committing a crime.

So I have to withdraw as Bobby's attorney.

Lew, we can't do this without you.

I'm sorry, Ann.

I've already gotten Bobby another lawyer

and brought him up to speed.

He's one of the best in Texas, and we're gonna need him.

You don't sound too optimistic.

Well, that complaint,

along with Bobby's prior arrest for assault against Ryland,

makes the shooting look premeditated.

I don't think Bobby can argue self-defense anymore.

He'll most likely face jail time.

Up to 20 years.

I'm sorry.

Why you brought Ann into our lives

I will never understand.

You were so handsome,

and she was...

Really nothing.

You deserved better...

Someone who truly wanted to take care of you,

someone who would sacrifice themselves

to make you happy.

Get your strength,

and I will make sure Bobby goes to jail...

Take him from Ann

the way she took you from me so many years ago...

Make her know what it's like

to look at the one you love in pain...

And hurt.

Get your rest.

And when you wake...

You will be king once more.

Sorry, sir, no can do.

Come on, man, you know me.

I'm just following orders.

Hello?

Security won't let me up, Pamela.

What gives?

What do you want, John Ross?

I saw the news about Tommy.

You're being set up by Frank.

Why would Frank do that?

My father got to him.

He doesn't want you to get any shares

of Ewing Energies in the divorce.

Come on, let me in.

Why are you helping me?

To protect our deal.

I can handle it on my own. Just go away.

Over here. I found the gun.

Watch your backs.

What the hell is this?

Frank Ashkani, you're under arrest

for the murder of Tommy Sutter.

You have the right to remind silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you

in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney.

If you cannot afford an attorney,

one will be appointed for you by the courts.

- You did this to me. - I didn't.

You kept the gun after the shooting.

You planted my fingerprints on it,

and you dropped it by the burial site.

You set me up.

I know about your plan with J.R.

I want to know why.

Ever since you left Pamela in charge,

she's treated me like a dog.

If you were unhappy with Pamela, then you should have come to me.

We could have worked it out.

That's what families do.

You were just a young boy on the streets of islamabad

when I found you,

and I treated you as my own and raised you like a son,

because I wanted Pam to be your sister,

and I was building my entire empire

for you two to have to run together.

How could you betray me like this?

You broke my heart.

Your family will be taken care of.

They will be fed and provided for,

but you brought this on yourself.

You should do the honorable thing

and you should do it...

For me.

I love you, son.

Guard.

- You Drew? - Yep.

The boss told me you used to drive for us in Colorado.

What brought you down here?

I guess I got homesick...

When they told me this pays double.

Well, it ain't no scenic tour through the rockies.

The cops in laredo are more dangerous than the criminals.

I've had plenty of experience with both.

Make me happy, Clyde.

He's definitely up to something...

Not sure what, but it doesn't look legal.

Good. Stick with him.

Make sure we get something concrete.

Count on it.

Let's call that your severance.

Much obliged, John Ross.

Though you should know that Christopher's after me,

thinks you put me up to it.

Just cause he's a pussy doesn't mean he ain't smart.

You're not concerned that he's on your tail?

It's good that he thinks that he has a chance.

That'll make it hurt more when he loses.

No, I understand. You just do your best.

Thanks for the call.

Everything okay?

That's my new lawyer.

He says we're in for quite a fight in this trial.

I just don't see any other way.

You could tell the truth.

Son, if I do that, Ann loses her daughter forever.

And if you don't... We could lose you.

I've never picked my battles in life

by fearing for the worst.

Even if you win, then what?

Ann tries to have a relationship with Emma

while we all hold on to this secret?

Yes, if that's what it takes.

And how long does that last?

The truth has a way of popping up

when you least expect it.

Mr. Ryland, you well enough to make a statement?

I am.

Lew, what is it?

You remember what happened?

Ryland's come out of his coma.

The police are taking his statement now.

I was sitting in my chair.

I had a stack of papers to go over.

Ryland's gonna tell the police you shot him.

Bobby, I love you for doing this,

but you have to let me take responsibility.

What's going on here?

I heard a voice, and I turned.

Lew, I did not shoot Harris Ryland.

What?

I did.

It was Bobby Ewing.

He shot me.

I want you to fight this thing with all we've got.

I hope you send him away for a long, long time.

I don't want Ryland to ever hurt her again.

Now, if you don't mind, my son needs to get his rest.

There is one more thing, and you're not gonna like it.

Police have arrested Frank Ashkani

for Tommy Sutter's murder.

What?

The arraignment's in an hour.

The state of Texas versus Frank Ashkani.

Will the defendant please rise?

Frank Ashkani, you have been indicted

for the murder of Tommy Sutter.

How do you plead?

Your honor, for his plea,

my client would like to make a statement.

I'll allow it.

Mr. Ashkani.

Your honor, I met Tommy Sutter about two years ago

when he lured Pamela Barnes

into a con against the Ewing family.

When Pamela decided she wanted out,

he threatened her life.

I found out and confronted him.

And that's when I shot and killed him.

Quiet everybody. This is a court of law.

Now, is that all, Mr. Ashkani?

After Tommy was gone,

his sister Becky showed up in town

and threatened Pamela, as well.

For that, I killed her, too.

What?! Becky!

Any more out of you, sir, I will hold you in contempt.

Mr. Ashkani, continue.

Your honor, I have disgraced my family.

I only hope that they will see the honor in my confession...

And one day be able to forgive me.

- This is absurd! - I warned you, sir.

You're gonna let her get away with murder?!

- Bailiff! - He's lying!

- Get him out of my courtroom! - He's lying!
