Message: <blockquote data-quote="stevew" data-source="post: 105857" data-attributes="member: 130">John Ross sits in a jail meeting room.  A lawyer sits down across from him.  “Bail is being arranged.”“Thank you.”“You care to tell me how you knew this was coming?”“I have friends in all sorts of places.”  “I guess so.  You know the shooter is testifying you paid him a hundred thousand in cash.”“Really.  And my motive?”“She stood in your way from splitting up Trident.  With her out of the way you put your wife in and accomplished it, expanding Ewing Oil and pocketing billions.”“Oh sure.  That’s motive.  So it’s his word again not mine?”“He used an old riffle of your father’s.  You wanted it personal for trying to kill your uncle when she was mentally ill.  The riffle matches and is registered to your father.”  “Now that’s interesting.  I’ll check our inventory at home.  I suppose it’s possible.”  In the back of a limousine John Ross says to Mateo, “Well?”“We’ll get at him, but they’ve got him in deep hiding.” “Reminds me of the time Judith and I handled those animals that kidnapped Aunt Anne and Emma.”  “Yeah well they were an easy target.  All penned up for you.”  “Just get rid of Vicktor’s hires assign and their case falls apart.  And figure out how they got one of my fathers guns.  Says we’ve got someone helping them inside.  I want them handled too.”  Mateo walks in the front door of Southfork with John Ross.  His family is eager to see him.  Even Alex waits, not so eager but not angers either.  Lucy seems more angry and says, “Up stairs.  Now.”The two enter his bedroom, Miss Ellie’s old room through the double doors.  She closes it and quietly says, “So all you have to do is present Katherine.”  “No.”“What do you mean no?”“I promised her I’d protect her and Alex.”“So you’ll go to prison for a murder no one committed?”“If I have to, yes.  Look it Lucy, no one wants this to go away more than me.  But I can’t do what you’re suggesting.  And you and Mateo made me a promise.  Now I expect you to keep it.”“Alright.  Just go down with the family.  I’m not in the mood.”John Ross kisses her cheek and leaves.  She takes out her phone and makes a call.  “He won’t budge.  What do you suggest . . .  That’s a bit extreme . . .  I know but . . .   Alright.  Do what you have to do.”Down stairs everyone supports him.  They all know he didn’t do it.  Alex is quite.  John Ross eventually takes him into the den. “What do I have to do to convince you I didn’t do it?”“You don’t have to.  I know you didn’t.”“Thank you.”“Don’t thank me.  My mother called me this morning.”“What?”“She explained it all.  I can’t say I appreciate being left in the dark, but I guess I get it.  I don’t see how you can go through with this if it lands you in prison.”  “I gave your momma my word.  I’ll handle it.”  “If you’re sure.”“Of course I am.”  Back out in the living room Steven asks both his father and Alex, “Everything ok?”Alex answers, “Yes.  I know he didn’t do it.  My mother told me he was the one Ewing I could trust and I’m not going back on that.”“How’d she know that?” Jolie asks. “Yeah John Ross, how’d she know that?” Pamela asks, standing in the archway. “I don’t know.   I’m just glad she did.  The last thing I need is more of a Barnes Wentworth feud right now.”“At Aunt Katherine’s funeral,” Chris told me he was over the whole feud.  Of course he didn’t know you’d be accused of killing her.”Alex says, “I doubt Chris cared who killed her.”“Probably true.”“Anymore than you do.  When she proved her mother stole her money and split it with your mother and his father when it was all suppose to be my mothers, well it left them the gutter rats they’re we raised to be.  But the women of our family come out ok don’t they.  They always marry money, Wentworth, Ewing, Cavendish, and Cantrell money.”  “Stop it.” Jolie begs Alex.Pamela says, “No it’s fine.  Accurate even.  I’m just wondering if you believe the bullshit that you can trust John Ross.  No one in this room can trust anyone else in this room.  I’m sure if she got in his way John Ross did what he felt he had to do.  Isn’t that right John Ross.  You do what you have to do.”“Don’t we all,” John Ross says.  “But I never meant to hurt you.”  “Of course not.  The snake doesn’t mean to hurt the mouse he just needs to eat.”  “You’re hardly a mouse.”  “Well you certainly are a snake.”“Did you come over here to gloat?” “No.  Lucas hired Colin to work on Southfork.  I came to see him.”Lucas says, “He’s out back.  Working.”  Amy says, “I’ll show you the way,” leading her through to the back of the house.  In the barn Colin’s caring for a very pregnant cow.  Amy leaves Pamela.  Colin’s asks his mother why she’s there.  Pamela says, “That what I want to know about you.”  “I’m working.”“At this?”“No one better to learn ranching from then Lucas Wade.”“Since when did you want to be a Texas rancher?”“Shows how little you paid attention to me growing up.” “I paid attention.”“Then you answer your own question.”“I’m sorry I missed that part, but here, on Southfork?”“Yeah why not?  Come to find out you were married to this man the entire time you were married to my father.  Does it bother you?”“I’m sorry about that.”“If you’ve come to get me to leave, don’t bother.  I’m not leaving.”  “I just . . .”“Don’t want me to get to know John Ross Ewing, but then you do.  You invited us to Dallas.”“I’m . . .”“Afraid of something.”“No oh course not.  You’re my son I don’t want you to . . .”“Get to know my father.”“What?  No!  Why would you say that?”“Because gran believed it.  At least it was possibly.  I’m sure she’s right. You don’t really know yourself.”“Your father and I had an agreement.”“And you came home to find out of that man was going to let you go.”“And he did.”“John Ross agreed to divorce me.”“Then why didn’t you?”“I couldn’t sign the papers.  He doesn’t love me.”“Are you sure about that?”  “He let me go.  He has three kids by three different women.  He never came after me.”  “I’m sorry, but I want to get to know him.”“He’s not your father.”“How certain are you?” A man sits in the modest living room of a suburban home watching tv.  A quite bullet pierces the window and then his head.  Three young children play in a park in London with adults watching.  Three adults are shot in the head.  The kids and an older woman are grabbed up and pushed into a van.  The van drives off.</blockquote>
