1 PREVIOUSLY ON “EWING EMPIRE”… Recap Sc.1: Man: My name is Richard Channing…Did you like the wine and the flowers? Sue Ellen: I loved the flowers...but wine, sorry but I don´t drink. So you are a winemaker... Richard: You can call me Richard, please Sue Ellen... S.E.: Ewing Oil has not planned to make such an investment, an oleoduct doesn´t get into our politics, though we could be interested in acquiring those oil fields you own in California. My companies also work on fashion, publishing, movie production and so on. Ewing Oil is looking for steady project now, not multi-million deals. Recap Sc.2: Gary: It´s a really ambitious project Mr. Channing. We work with different energy sources and move on a nation-wide level. We´re looking for a project similar to this but, anyway, we´d always be interested in investing on those California fields. Richard: Pleased to meet you, Mr. Ewing. Mr. Beam. G.: I need you to research Mr. Channing´s past, personally and discreetly. Recap Sc.3: Alan: Alan Beam speaking…I only wanted to confirm you that Gary Ewing is morally at the best moment to close the deal. He has just been thrown in his face what a big man his brother J.R. was. 2 Richard: Congratulations Beam. Tomorrow I´ll give the order to make a transference of two million dollars. One of them, to your account in a Swiss bank. The other million, to your personal account in the “First Commercial Bank”… A.: All is going to work out fine. Gary Ewing will end up biting the dust... Recap Sc.4: Gary: Alan, hint Channing that we can surpass any offer to get the oleoduct deal...You can call and tell him that Westfork from Texas is intent on winning California... Recap Sc.5: Cliff: Have you heard anything from him...what´s his name...that Channing? Sue Ellen: Gary talked with him by phone a couple of times, but he couldn´t get anything definite. Alan faked Gary´s signature on the pre-contract, and he considers that his company didn´t commit with the pipeline business at all. Recap Sc.6: Gary: Bob, I´ve found out that Richard Channing is blaming me for the contract breach. As it seems, Alan faked my signature on that pre-contract and faxed it to him the day he left Dallas. Channing told me that he had also transferred into an account I had in California... Bob: California? G.: Alan seems to have been posing as me to open an account and get that million as a first payment of the pipeline deal... B.: You´re not saying that Alan has conned Channing using your name, aren´t you?... Gary: Not only that. As he told me, a second million was going to be paid to him if he got the deal closed. That million has been cashed by Alan at a Swiss bank...The day he left, I was very nervous about Bobby´s crash. I told Alan to go ahead with the Channing deal. Later on, my secretary brought me a dossier about him that I had asked her to do: what I found in it scared me to death. Even if only half of it was true, that individual is not the best partner one can have... B.: What was it about? G.: Connections with a European multinational corporation with a terrorist past, also with a Mafia-like group called The Thirteen…So I backed down and rejected the deal. Tried to contact Channing but he wasn´t reachable and Alan was gone. You know the rest... B.: Do you mean that Channing might come back and demand you those 2 million dollars back? 3 G.: He wants us to be his partners in the pipeline, at any price. I´m fed up with this business...Every day I´m more fed up with it, I mean it Bob... Recap Sc.7: Alan: We´ve spent one whole year living the big way but now it´s time to find a new method to make our living… Betty Lou: Too bad that asking Gary Ewing for a ransom didn´t work out. It was a good idea…now that those two millions are gone… A.: My friend told me that Richard Channing is still trying to find us and he might have sent somebody…I hope your girlfriend may help us down there in Rio…(General shot of Alan and Betty Lou closing the trunk lid, and then the car doors. One second later, a big explosion makes the house window glass shatter causing a deafening noise. Through the broken windows, we see the Beams´ car in flames) Recap Sc.8: S.E.: It must have been some sort of accident… Pam: Don´t worry about anything Sue Ellen. Everything´s under control now… But something had to happen…That bottle, and how you mixed up the pills… Everything´s so strange… Recap Sc.9: Betsy: Oh mine…it can´t be… Man: Yes I am, Betsy. I´m your mother´s husband: Ben Gibson. I live in another continent now, and I have another family…and name. Ben: I came here for work. I´m not a journalist anymore, and I will just be here one more day. This will probably the last time we will meet. I can´t erase the past... Recap Sc.10: Reporter: Why did you wanna kill yourself? Is true that you are drinking again? Under these facts, guess you are out of the Woman-Of-The-Year Award competition… S.E.: You speak as you can, because you´re just a little snake who´s gonna be blast one of these days… Recap Sc.11: Molly: I´d give ya 50 bucks a week and a place to live, I have a room to spare… Lucas: Ok, but make it 60 and my own room. M.: What else were expecting dear…what´s your name? 4 L.: Joel, my name is Joel… Recap Sc.12: L.: We´re almost in, sis…But the ranch you mentioned is not like you explained: it´s taller now and has many front pillars, And remember, my name is Joel, now. Not Lucas. Bye Charlie… Recap Sc.13: Beckie: Are you trying to convince me to give birth the baby…like you did with me? Afton: Think about it and make a choice. I´ll be ok with it but we´ll be together all the way… Recap Sc.14: Maggie: What happened then? What did Daddy do? Donna: He had recognized the car and turned around to make Jenna stop. He arrived at the accident place too late. The car was down the cliff, set in fire. He rushed to rescue them but only Charlie could be taken out…She was disfigured and amnesic. Jenna died during the car explosion. Daddy tried to save Jenna too, but the flames didn´t let him open the door. He put his own life in danger to save her. He only wanted the best for Lucas… M.: Where´s he now? D.: He was given in adoption upon Jenna´s last will. We didn´t hear from them since then… Recap Sc.15: Bobby: Yes I will… Will: You Will...what? B.: I will come to live with you Will, and don´t make fun of me anymore… Recap Sc.15: Val: What happened to you? Gary: The person I am tutoring at A.A. called me when I was waiting for you and begged me to go as soon as possible. It was a matter of life or death Val. V.: I´ll be upstairs packing up. I´m returning to Galveston tomorrow. G.: Valene...! Please Valene...! Recap Sc.16: 5 G.: It´s a hard time…Val still is in Galveston, and our kids are living on its own… and Mama is gone… B.: I have a son who´s officially dead. And Mama´s dead for me too. Now we have a whole new house for us to live in. Let the past go and fight for the things than you can still have… Recap Sc.17: Cliff: So…my daughter is having a baby with Bobby Ewing´s illegitimate son Lucas… Detective: Now his legal name is Joel… C.: Stevens, thank you very much.

A.: I´m very thankful but I have a business meeting now. Glad to meet you, I am Andrea. J.R.: And I am John Ross…Hope to see you again… Recap Sc.20: Dusty: What the hell do ya want from me? Mandy: I want to get you out of here. 6 D.: For a prize, I guess? M.: Not too high dear Dusty. I know it´s bad times for you cowboys… D.
