Sue Ellen looks at the man and says, “Big talk for a pawn and you know it, don’t you?” The family gathers as two caskets are lowered into the ground of an old Dallas cemetary.  The headstones read, ‘Benjamin Harrison Van Buren’ and ‘Deborah Sarah Van Buren.’Pamela shows Ben’s kids their bedroom at Southfork, three single beds and a crib.  She bends down.  “Benny, you’re ten.  When you feel you need your own room, you just let me know, OK?  Michael’s two, so he’ll be growing out of his crib soon.  And Lilly, she’s six, so she still needs her big brother.  OK?”“Yes.  What do I call you?”“Call me?   You can call me anything you want to.  Aunt Pamela is just fine. We’re not here to replace your mom and dad.”John Ross sits on the floor.  Ben, were going to make sure you’re safe.  No ones going to hurt you.  There are people all outside who’s job it is to lock this place up tight.  And tomorrow we’ll take you to someone to talk to, that can help you.  You’re not a lone.”  He holds out his arms.  Ben hugs him.  Pamela and Lilly join in hug.  Michael waddles in and then Jay and Steven.  John Ross says, “And Jay and Steven are your big brothers.  They’re not going to allow anything to happen to you either.  We’re in this together.”  Early in the morning, before the sun is even up, John Ross gathers in his study with Ellie, Anthony, Mateo and Roger.  “Ellie’s going to take over for me.  I’ll attend the Monday morning meetings but that’s it.  I’ve got Pamela and the kids to take care of.  And Lucas isn’t doing so good.  Marilee died in his arms.”Mateo says, “You do what you’ve got to do.  We’ve got this.”“Vicktor Sechin wants a war, he’s got it.  He’s all about sowing the seeds of distrust, let’s return the favor.”Anthony stares out the window into the dark.  “His daughter recently died in a mental institution.  My Uncle says, he doesn’t care about his grandchildren.”“Find what he does care about.  And Paul will start attending these meetings next week.”Ellie says, “We can’t trust him.  Sechin owns him.”“I own him.  I’ve got enough to tie him to Sechin.  Plus we’ve locked down Trident’s board.  He also sold me Chris’s ranch.  And we’re providing his security.”Mateo says, “We can trust him.”“My mother’s also stepping back from the day to day with foundations.  She’s actually brining Jenny in to help.  And she’s given her Ewing Industry shares to her foundation.  Ellie and I will set up an agreement to buy them.  With the purchase of Bobby’s shares from his foundation, Ellie and I each own forty-two percent.  Carlos DelSol, sixteen percent.  That makes him an obvious target for Sechin.”Anthony says, “The Attorney General has also turned his eye on the Ewing Network, now that it’s influence on American life in a conservative direction has turned more to being issue based and less partisan.  That’s at least the story going around Washington.  The public statement is concern that the Network is one of the nation's most influential political forces and more a kin to a shadow political party.  In the two years the Network has spent $400 million on policy and politics.  Of course the truth is they really don’t like the secretive membership of the Network.”  John Ross states, “What they don’t like is it’s opposition to Sechin’s influence in the White House.  And we’re gonna clean house.”Bobby works with Steven and Ben at cleaning out the horse stalls.Steven asks, “Is Lucas coming back?”“I don’t know,” Bobby answers.  “He’s pretty shaken up.  But then again, aren’t we all?”“Dad said they’re people from other countries that don’t like Chris’s Ewing Process for getting at gas underground. He said, its going to make natural gas super cheap.”“Pretty much sums it up.  We’ve been in a lot of fights as a family over the years, but nothing like this.”  He then notices Ben.  “Say Ben. Have you ridden much?”“A horse, no.  I’ve never ridden a horse.”“Well would you like to?”The young boy’s face lights up.  “Yes.”Pamela cooks with Lilly in the kitchen.  “Watch Amelie.  She’s very careful with the knife.  When you’re older she’ll show you how to use one.”Ellie walks in, “Oh there you are.  I should have started here.  Please tell me you’re not teaching her to cook.”“Yes I am.”“You know when I grew up I never stepped foot in the kitchen.  What is it with you people and working.  We have people for that.  Lilly, stick with me and I’ll show you how rich people live.”“Are we rich?”  The little girl looks up at Pamela.Ellie answers.  “Oh yes.  And rich folks is always happy.”Pamela stands at the door to the outside, unable to step outside.  She says, “Amelie I think we’ll cook the stakes in here instead.”“Instead of the barbecue Madame?”  Amelie asks with a heavy French accent.“Yes I think so.”Ellie looks puzzled.  “Well I’m not a barbecue fan anyway.”Still standing at the open door with a platter of stakes.  “Yes we all know, Ellie.  Amelie will make your sauce for you.”Amelie takes the platter.  “Why don’t you sit down?”“Yes.  I think so.  Um, actually I’m going to go up stairs for a bit.  Check on Michael.”As Pamela leaves the room Ellie says to Amelie, “What was that about?”“Madame Pamela hasn’t stepped outside since she got back from the funeral.”“That was weeks ago.”“I know.  When she said we were going to have steaks for dinner, I thought, finally.  But she can’t do it.”“Well I understand but . . .”Lilly jumps off the stool.  “I’m going to go check on mommy.”The two women watch her leave the room.A group of individuals from around the world gather around a table on the stern of Vicktor’s ship along with Vicktor.  One says, “I still say that it was wrong. There were children involved.”“They have his grandchildren,” another says.“The Ewing’s don’t have his grandchildren. You know that as well as I do.”“I’m also concerned that it was an act of war,” a third person says.  “If the United States government traces it back to us, not one of our countries can with stand the retaliation.”“It’s not even been picked up by the news.”Vicktor says, “They won’t do a thing to retaliate against us.  They’ll throw a spin to blame some one else.  We control what the American people think.”“Not all.”“The point being, we’re not worried about retaliation.  But the Ewing’s should be terrified about moving forward with their gas extraction.  Now we’ve got to lift Venezuela’s oil embargo and make Trident a Grazneft subsidiary.  When we’re done oil and gas will boom again.  And the world will forget they even knew the name Ewing.”Ellie walks into a New York office and shakes the hand of a woman about ten years older than her brother who says, “The whole idea of Jay being brought up by John Ross and Pamela was to give him all the advantages of being a Ewing, including protection.”“Well that was the case.  We did exactly what was asked of us.  The Ewing Process is sitting at the ready.  Chris has even been able to get at crude oil under the ocean floor no one would’ve have believe, which’ll be phase two.”“I’m impressed.  John Ross always said he was smart.  Too smart.”“And Sechin’s grandchildren?” Ellie asks. “They’re doing great.  John Ross want to adopt three more?”“I’m not sure South Fork would be the best place for them.”“I grew up in Central America.  Very well off.  Until one day we weren’t.  My parents got me here, to New York.  Then suddenly I was being spit at, brown people invading a white country kind of thing.  I remember the first time I saw your mother in the tabloids.  I wanted to know everything about her.  The Shepard’s were a lot like my family.  Once terribly wealthy and then not so much.  She married a terrifying man.  Who hurt everyone he loved.”“My father also protected us.”“That’s true.  Very true.  JR Ewing.  First time I meet him I stuttered.  Then your mom married a man who would become an earl and be friends with the royal family.  I wanted all that for my son.  And your mother could give it to him.  My world was too ugly for that kind of thing.  I suppose like your fathers.”“I suppose so.”“I promised Vicktor’s daughter I’d take care of her children and I keep my word.”“And she kept hers?”“She died protecting her children from that man.”“I have to ask.  Who’s there father?”“A business associate from Russia.  He wanted children.  Vicktor wanted his influence.  He traded his daughter, killed her baby and her first husband and married her off.  Married her to a man who raped her, repeatedly, until he had his three children.”“And where is he now?”“Once Vicktor no longer needed him, he found it advantageous to get rid of him to.” “I see.  My father use to tell me, be careful of the people who have no one they care about.”“Your father wore his heart on his sleeve, to anyone who paid attention anyway.  He loved his family dearly, including your mother.  It seems the more he loved them the more he feared them.  The more he hurt them.  It was his great weakness.  I’m glad I got to know him. But many people thought he was a lot like Vicktor, he didn’t care about anybody.”“So, Sophia, Vicktor might actually care about some one, we’ve just got to figure out who?”“God I hope so.”</blockquote>
