Message: <blockquote data-quote="stevew" data-source="post: 139426" data-attributes="member: 130">Miss Ellie sits with JR in the study talking about Gary and Empire Valley and how JR should help his brother.  JR relinquishes his animosity for his brother in exchange for the role as head of the family.  Bobby and JR guess star on Knots Landing, Bobby as a U.S. Senator from his own show and JR as a powerful businessman affiliated with Galveston’s associates.  In Falcon Crest when Chase goes to Washington D.C. to confront Senator Silverlake,  Bobby guess stars on Falcon Crest, bringing that show, as a Lorimar Production, into the Dallas Universe.  This continues in later years with the Thirteen story and involving the U.S. Congress.  While the Thirteen story won’t be seen for sometime on Falcon Crest begin the Rosemont character (Roscoe Lee Browne) on Dallas and allude to a secretive government group in dealing with the Soviets. JR walks out of the Denver airport with Lucy and David.  David says, “This is Rosemont.”  They shake hands and get into a limousine.  Inside Rosemont says, “Mr. Sechin is an issue we need solved.  What he wants now is Trident.  He’s found a willing partner in Jeremy Wendell.”  JR says, “And you and your friends want my family to counter that influence.”  “Yes.  What we want is to see the collapse of the Soviet Empire and people like yourself to get at the oil in their county.”  “I think we can work something out.”   The limousine pulls up to a high rise building with a sign by the door “RosCo.”   JR and Lucy get out of the back.  JR buttons his jacket. “Well darlin’ you wanted to learn the oil business.” “I suppose I did.”  “Then you’ve in for a real treat.” In the limousine Rosemont hands a folder to David.  “If the Ewing’s are capable of this assignment, there’s a lot of dirty laundry you need to bring out into the light of day.”  Up in the executive suite JR introduces himself and Lucy to Vicktor Sechin.  “I always like to meet a man eye to eye before I get into business dealings with him.”  “No. You’re interested in more than that.  You want to size me up.  Figure out what’s next.”“I know what’s next.  When my father showed up in Venezuela, your father decided to take him out, the game plan was to secure Venezuelan oil for the soviets.  I tried and true communist, unlike yourself and your uncle.”“So were even.”“If you mean my getting at your father like he got at mine, I suppose so.  But this is a longer game than that.” “I’m not like my father, in that I under estimate the capabilities of the capitalists.  Your father once meet in the home of Vaughn Leland, Sr.”  “Brads grandfather?” Lucy asks. “Yes,” JR answers. Jock Ewing, Vaughn Leland, and several others.  They dealt with Kennedy.  Put there man in his place.  No Mr. Ewing, I don’t under estimate you.  In away, I admire you.  And I could use your help.”  “How so?”“To get at the oil my county sits on.”“That I’d like to help with.” Gloria walks into Jeremy’s Preston Hollow mansion as a beautiful young woman walks down the stairs in just s men’s dress shirt.  “Who are you?” the girl asks.  Gloria laughs, “A far smarter version of you.”“What?” “Oh Jeremy must be having fun with you.   Tell me you do realize he only marries women he thinks he can get money out of.  Not that his father didn’t leave him enough money.  But the rest, like you, are nothing more than prostitutes.”  “I beg your pardon.” “You bed him for cash.  I don’t care how you try and clean it up, Jeremy loves money and sex.  He won’t give up the money you think he will and he’s not very good at sex, rather selfish in bed, but you’re not there for pleasure are you?”  “Again, who are you?”“Again I’m not telling you.  But you can fetch me lunch while I wait for Jeremy.”  JR and Lucy arrive at a luxurious, rural mental hospital.  David says, “You need to know, before you meet him.  Jason was lobotomized.”“What?”“Your father’s wife, Amanda, their son Jason was diagnosed with schizophrenia.  Your father agreed to a lobotomy.  Before you meet him, you should be aware of what that means.”  “I’m aware of what that means.  I am confused as to why my father kept him a secret.” “I don’t know.  Same reason he kept Amanda a secret.  James talks a lot about there father, Robert James Ewing.  He was a coal miner who left West Virginia and his family behind, traveled the rails with his son.”“That much I know.  At least about his father and traveling the rails.”  “There’s plenty about Jock Ewing your not aware.  But he has taken care of Jason.  This is a very nice place.”“I see.” “Maybe there are just something’s that aren’t easy to talk about.  Your sister.”JR looks determined not to talk about the subject.  Lucy says, “Sister?”“Before your grandfather went off to war your grandmother was pregnant.  He named her after his mother, Lucille Ann Campbell.”“What?”JR says, “We don’t need to discuss this.”  “Your grandfather left for the war, shortly after Miss Ellie miscarried, Joanna, and then Lucille died.”“JR?”“Yes.  My sister died.  We don’t talk about her.”  Tears well up in JR’s eyes.  “You see, some secrets family’s try and burry because they’re honestly too difficult to face.”  JR sits laughing with his older brother and Lucy listening as if a fly on the wall.  Jason tells him all about his grandfather Jason, as if assuming he was also JR’s grandfather, as if Amanda were his mother too.  He talks about Robert and Lucille, their grandparents.  Then he says, “And that other woman father married.”  “Eleanor you mean?”  “No.  Eleanor.  Who’s Eleanor?  Oh wait, Eleanor.  I remember her.  Gary’s mother.  I never meet her.  No I mean Lydia Bunker.”“Who’s Lydia Bunker?” Jeremy walks out back of his mansion where Gloria has dinner.  “Why are you here?”“Because you need me.” “You control trusts full of Trident shares.  You can back me or JR Ewing.” “It appears to me that JR Ewing will make more money for my children.”“Children?”“Trident is looking to merge with North Sea Oil and Hugh is their single largest shareholder.” “But I put together that deal through Cliff Barnes, not JR Ewing.”“That’s besides the point.  The deal’s going through.  My question is, what are you going to do now?  JR is ready to hand Trident an exclusive deal for Venezuelan oil.”  “Is that why you’re here?  To scout out my next mI’ve?”“It certainly isn’t the cheap food you stick in your kitchen,” Gloria says dropping her salad fork in discuss. JR and Lucy watched an older woman tend a garden outside a beautiful cottage.  David says, “Lydia Bunker.  Jock wasn’t legally divorced from Amanda when he married Lydia.”“And their children?”“Do you really want to know?”“I’m thinking I need to.” Sue Ellen and Laura walk the offices of Trident and come across a mural of the Rocky Mountains.  “My father asked me to cover the wall with something.  Just something.  I turned down a commission with Mobil in New York to do this.  He never bothered to even say he liked it.”“It’s impressive.”Cliff approaches.  “Sue Ellen.  What brings you here?”“Laura Wendell.  I asked to see her favor mural.  You know Laura?”“No.  We’ve never meet.  I’m Cliff Barnes.  CEO of Trident.”  “Hello Mr. Barnes.”“Please.  Cliff.  This is yours?”“Along time ago when these were West Star offices.”“You’re talented.”  Sue Ellen says, “I want to commission her to do a mural for the public here in Dallas.  What do you think, Cliff?”“I think it’s an excellent idea.”  “Why don’t you join us for lunch so we can talk over what we want to do?”   Lucy strolls into a hole in the wall bar with Hugh.  She says, “You did say an authentic cowboy bar.”  “I guess I did.”   Ray sits at the bar with Mitch nursing bourbons.  A bunch of riggers come in, including Andy Wendell, loud, rowdy.  Hugh heads to the rest room leaving Lucy alone.  A group of riggers, including Andy, come over to hit on her.  Andy’s silent but the others are vulgar.  Mickey’s had enough and goes over, “Leave the lady alone.”  “Listen cowboy, you’d better get your hands off me.”Ray says, “Soon as you get to the other side of the room.”“Maybe the girl wants us to stay.”“No.  No I don’t.  You can leave now.”   Lucy waves them off.  “What, do you think you’re to good for any one of us?  We’re oil men honey. We’ll have you dripping in diamonds where these cowpokes’ll have ya in cow turds.”Lucy laughs.  “I’m Lucy Ewing.  Ain’t one of you half the oilman my granddaddy was.   And if your smarter than anyone of the lice covering ya, you’ll know the name JR Ewing and that’ll strike fear into ya.”  “From what we hear ole JR’s a candy-ass.”  They laugh, all but Andy.  “Than you’re not very smart.”  Andy says, “These cowboys bothering you.”  Mickey says, “These aren’t cowboys.”“This one looks like a candy-ass himself.”  Lucy says in the face of the loudest rigger, “I don’t need a one of these gentleman to protect me.  You either turn around and leave me alone or you’ll find out what a Ewing woman is capable of.”“Whats that sweetheart?   Making tea?”  Again they laugh.  “You’re stupid.”  “And you gotta big mouth little lady.”“And nothing about you is big.”  He goes to slap her and Mickey grabs his arm.  A fight ensues and the next thing you know it’s a barroom brawls.  Men in plain black suites are pulling Lucy away and out of the bar.  Outside the police are talking with a banged up Ray, Mickey and Hugh as they explain the situation.  One of the men in black suites helps Lucy up into a wagon.  She looks over the hand cuffed riggers, all but Andy.  She approached the loud mouth and slaps him on each cheek.  “I think you wanta apologize.”Laughing, “It was a fair fight.”  “I mean to me.  For even talking to me.”“Darlin’ I still got the strength to give you one hell of a ride.”  She squeezes his balls.  “No you don’t.  Really, you don’t.”  The man squirms in pain.  In the Southfork kitchen Donna tends to Rays scraps and cuts while Sue Ellen tends to Mickey.  They explain what happened and JR says he wished he’d been there.Sue Ellen snaps, “JR.”“Well, like my daddy use to say, nothing he liked better than a little fight now and then.”Donna says, “You really think a fist fight is your stile JR.”  “Oh I didn’t say say I was gonna get into it, but I wouldn’t have mind watching.  You two boys defend Lucy’s honor?”  “Didn’t need it,” Ray says.  “That girl’s got some gumpshun.  I don’t know if I ever saw her like that.”“Really.” “Mentioned you. Said they should know enough to be afraid of JR.”“They didn’t know who you were,” Mickey says.“Well they will now.”  “I think Lucy went and explained it to them.”Sue Ellen asks, “And Hugh.”  Mickey answers, “I don’t know what happened to him.”  Gloria speaks to Hugh as a maid tends to him.  “Really, in a honky-tonk.”“I asked Lucy to take me.  It wasn’t here idea. I was curious.”  “Curious of trash.  Do you know how stupid that sounds?”  In a hotel bedroom Lucy enjoys Andy’s naked body in bed.</blockquote>
