A television news reporter says, “It’s believe one of two freedom groups inside Russia are responsible and possibly both.  Civil unrest broke out all over Russia.  In Volgograd and Omsk the fighting was particularly deadly.  Federal troops were meet with well armed citizens.   Jack walks out of the bathroom of his Dallas apartment wrapped in a towel.  Damae sits up in bed.  Jack answers the door.  Melanie appears and grins, checking him out.  They enter the room and Jack introduces them. “Melanie works for my father.  She’s rather ambitious.  And this is Damae.  She’s rather ambitious herself.  So I thought maybe that ambition would lead the two of you to join me tonight to celebrate the passage of the Ewing Act.  A clear cut method of keeping America’s competitive secrets in America.”  As he speaks he hands them each a glass of campaign.  Jack begins to undress Melanie who looks very uncomfortable. Damae gets in her knees on the bed next to them and caresses her face.  “This what you want Jack?” “Getting there,” he says. Damae kisses a very uneasy Melanie who ends up standing nude in front of them as he helps her to lay on the bed with Damae, making out. John Ross and Lucy rush down the hospital corridor to find Lucas holding a despondent Jolie.  “Where’s Alex?”  Lucy whispers.“He’s on his way.  He was in Europe.” Karin sits down with a coffee she hands to Jolie.  Amy takes Lucy and John Ross aside.  “They think he tried to kill himself.  The house keeper found him in the bathtub with razor blade cuts on his wrists.  And cocaine.”“Oh my god.”  Lucy covers her mouth. John Ross says, “He’s pretty much bankrupt.  Viktor Sechin cleaned him out once the deal his father made with Christopher was over.” Lucy says, “We’ve gotta help him.  For Jolie’s shake.”“We will,” John Ross tells her. Pamela talks with Steven taking a walk on campus.  “But if he’s ma married man and isn’t going to leave his wife, how can you stand it?  Don’t you want more?  Don’t you feel bad for her?  And what about this kid?”“I do want more.  But you don’t understand.  Guys out there.  I mean there isn’t much out there about much other than sex.  It’s like impossible to find a good guy.” “And a good guy is married?” “It’s difficult for him.”“I bet it is.  You never talk about your mother.  I’m curious.  What do you know about her?”“She’s a nun.  Works with the poor in Nicaragua.”“Do you ever speak to her?”“Not often.  I know about her family in Mexico.  Meet a few of my relatives.”“That’s good.”“I didn’t bring up being gay.  Her family are deeply religious.  Two nuns and a priest.  Do you know why my mother became a nun?”“No I don’t.  I didn’t even know she was.” “My mother and father had an affair.  He was was in Mexico working on a lease with PeMex drilling for oil.   Her husband at the time worked for him.  He arranged to ship the man to another project in the Middle East.  You know, get him out of the way.  That’s where he was killed in a terrorist attack of an oil rig.”“Wow.”“My mother joined a convent. My father brought me to Dallas.  So, the irony of the situation isn’t lost on me.  I also know why you left my father, so I know the subject can’t be easy for you.”“No.  I doubt you know why.” “He had an affair.”“That’s not the reason.  I agreed to a business marriage.  I set up the rules.  I wouldn’t even go out on a date with him before we were married.  I couldn’t very well have expected him to treat our marriage as real just because all of a sudden I was.  Then . . .  Then I fell in love with him.  I wanted to do anything for him.  And I took some pills.  I . . .  I nearly died.  In fact my heart did stop beating more than once.  You father used CPR to save my life.  But there I was.  Realizing I loved someone so much I was going to die for him.  It terrified me.  At first I denied I ever loved him.  Then I wanted to hurt him. Then I made a deal to get me out of Dallas.  I spent years depressed before I could finally accept it.  John Ross didn’t love me.”“But he does.”“And how would you know that.”“The only pictures in his study of someone who’s not a blood Ewing are my grandma and his grandma, his grandpa Clayton, and you.”  “He’s got my picture in his study?”“Yes.  And when I asked who you were he said, the one true love of his life.”“He said that?”“At some point to us all.  Said sometimes if you live something you’ve got to let it go.  Give it up because you’re just not good enough for it.   You’ve got to sacrifice for those you love.  And I know I should, just walk away.  Let him be with his family.  But I can’t.   I just can’t.” Bobby rides up, dismounts and approaches John Ross who’s mending a fence on a secluded part of Southfork.  “I wanted to speak to you before I went back to California.”“Go ahead then.”“We haven’t always seen eye to eye.  But I remember when you were born.  You were the greatest thing that ever happened to my daddy.   I truly mean that, no slight to anyone else, just what it was.  He saw immortality in you.  And you haven’t let him down.”“Thank you Uncle Bobby.” “There was a time I thought this place could shared by you and Chris.  But I was wrong.  You’ve done a fine job, including Lucy and Lucas.  I hear even Margret and her family come out for the occasional visit.  And your brother Beau.” “I try.” “You do.  You’re the head of Jock’s family.  Gary and his younger two, me and Chris, we’re happy in California.”“That’s good.  I’m glad you ever need anything.”Bobby offers his hand, “You’ll be the first person I call.  You do the same.”  The two shake. The Ewing’s gather around a campfire at night and John Ross, with his guitar, leads a sing along.  Lucy laughs, “Remember when you dropped out of school to tour, just you and that guitar?”“Yeah.  You had that friend who was an agent.”“I really think you should have stuck with him.  What ever happened?”“Elena was done with college and wanted my help going into the oil business.” “Ahh.  That’ll do it.” Lucy puts her around Jeremy Wendell sitting next to her.  “Women.” Jeremy forces a smile her way. Viktor Sechin finishes his lunch on the deck of his massive Yacht.  He notices and looks up at a helicopter, squinting into the bright sky.  He’s shot in the center of his head.</blockquote>
