Russian President Boris Chekhov is expect to be implicated as well tomorrow during an emergency session of the U.N. Security Council.  The Russian Duma has begun the impeachment process.  Chekhov has ordered the Duma to disband, but protesters on and the streets have made it clear, the Duma isn’t going anywhere.  At least a dozen separatist movements are asking for world recognition.”  Pamela and Logan leave a Washington Court making their way through a crowd of reporters bombarding them with questions.  They say nothing. Quickly getting into the back of a limousine, they find themselves sitting across from John Ross.  “What the hell’s he doing here?”“He arranged your bail so we could get you to Southfork.  You realize the kinda danger you’re in?”“I didn’t do anything illegal.”“Prisons are full of people who say the same thing.”“I had no idea where the money came from.   There was no reason for me to even assume it wasn’t above board with Burkcroft Hamilton.”“You could have asked,” John Ross states.    “You were buying my company from the guy who took it.  Least you could have done was run it by me and your mother.”“To have you shoot it down.”“Why would I have done that?  If you wanted it, you could have asked when I had it.”“You’d have just given it to me?”“Sure.  Why not?”“It’s a lot of money.”“My father sold his sold so we’d have a lot of money.  If there’s something you want it’s yours.  Colin wants the ranch.  It’s his.  Steven wants an alternative energy company.”“It’s that simple?  You hand out companies?  What about Jack.  You hand him a congressional district?”“Yes.  Jack wants to be popular; he did that on his own.  Quarterback kinda thing.  He just needed campaign money.”“And Ellie?”“That I couldn’t do for her.  Ellie wants power.”“You couldn’t give her power?”“No one can give you power.  Real power you have to take.  If that’s what you want, than you should talk to Ellie.”“She gonna give me lessons on getting power?”“If you’re family.  What is it with you Ewing’s?  You’re like a cult.”John Ross laughs.  “Tell that to Lucy.  She’ll like that.”  25 years ago . . . . .Lucy walks into the barn at Southfork where Bobby’s looking after a sick cow.  “What the hell do you think you’re doing.”  “Lucy.  What’s got into you?”“Came to you to to help John Ross, not gang up on his with Christoper.”  “What are you talking about?”“You and Sue Ellen too Ewing Global our from under him.  Christopher took Elena.  What the hell are you trying to do, make him into JR?”“That’s not my doing?”“Isn’t it?  At every turn you side with Christopher against him.  And how the hell you OK with him being with Elena ““That’s their problem,”“Really.  Cause the Bobby Ewing I know would have been discussed to be sleeping with one of his brothers casts offs, he sure as hell wouldn’t be rubbing it in his face.” “What do you want me to do?”“Put your foot down.  What would grandpa have done?”“Mined his own business.”“Kidded his ass over the county line,” Lucy says.  “You’ve tried to destroy him.  Before John Ross went off to Mexico to bring Elena back he asked Chris.  He didn’t run down there and nail her hours after Chris had.  That’s sick and you know it.  And I know thing or two about business myself.  And your siding with Chris over this methane extraction against John Ross is stupid and you know it.  You need the oil money. You’re fanning this feud.”“You don’t know what you’re talking about Lucy.”“Don’t I?  I now that John Ross is out of the way you can proceed and drain Southfork dry for yourself and Christopher.  But what about John Ross.”  “This isn’t any of your business, Lucy.”“I’m a Ewing.  Of course this is my business and if you’re not man enough to bring this family together, I will, starting with getting rid of that tramp.  My God age black mailed you.  Dealt with criminals.  Thugs.  People that kidnapped Ann and Emma.  You still OK with her?”“That’s Christopher’s call not mine.”“Well it’s mind now. I’m putting a stop to this.”“Lucy.”“You do know who you borrowed the money from to buy control of Ewing Global?”“Carlos DelSol.”“No.  He just at set up the loan. You borrowed it from a trust fund set up for John Ross.  You put your half of Southfork on the line.  And if you don’t keep the Southfork Oil pumping you’ll loose everything to John Ross.  My father gave me control of his share and I’m voting with John Ross to shut it off.  You understand what that means?”  “John Ross wins the battle.”“See that’s what wrong here.  You let grandpa do this.  Just as he pitted my dad and JR against each other, you’re pitting Chris and John Ross against each other.”“Don’t underestimate me Lucy.  That was JR’s mistake.”“No.  It’s you underestimating me.  We’re Ewing’s. We might be right.  We might be wrong but together we’re unstoppable.  This bull you’re storing up makes us weak and I couldn’t stop grandpa.  I even got caught up in it.  But I can stop you.  And I’m going to.”  Don Lockwood meets with Howard Burkcroft in the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria in New York.  “You betrayed our agreement.”“I warned you to make a deal with John Ross.  You refused.”“He’s had Burkcroft Hamilton settle with Ewing Industries over the Ewing Extraction Process.  It’s back in his hands.  Our friends aren’t going to be happy.”  “Not everyone agrees it’s best to hold off.  There a lot of people ready to let him proceed.”“Well they might be wrong.  You need to broker a deal with him.”“There’s no room to invite him to join the club.”“You’d better reconsider.”Howard leans forward.  “You offering him your seat?”  John Ross, Lucas, and Colin ride horses in the wide open fields of Southfork pushing the cattle forward across a creek with several ranch hands.  Ellie sits by the pool.  Logan approaches here.  “So what do you do around here all day long?”“Me personally or are you just asking in general?”  “Either.”“Well as I’m not confined to Southfork by a court order I guess I come and go as I please.”“Well obviously that doesn’t help me any.”“Oh.  Were you asking for help?”“No.”“I see.  Kind of a weakness thing ha?”“Something like that.”“You should read the art of war.  Appear weak when you are strong and strong when you are weak.  Which are you right now?”  “I suppose it’s not something you can really tell someone. You have to show it.”“I’ll tell you what, I’ll loan you my grandpa’s copy.  He’s got lots of notes throughout you’ll find useful.”“JR Ewing’s copy?”“Yes.  It’s a loan.”   Ellie stands up.  “After that you can read the Prince, if you haven’t already.”“I have. Undergrad history class.  I’m notsure what I need to get out of it.”“Nothing for you.  It’s for me.  Grandpa had a habit of passing in his later years, to the naive in his life.  It explains the pragmatic approach real leaders have to take.  I guess so people will better understand people like us and why we do what we do.”  She walks with him into the house.  Don and Oliver arrive home in England, a stately manner House at the end of a long crushed coral driveway.  They exit the back of a limousine and go inside.  The chauffeur takes the bags from the trunk and follows them.  After a few minutes house explodes.</blockquote>
