Dallas (1978–1991): Season 13, Episode 10 - Hell's Fury - full transcript

Cally's rosy world is shattered when she spies J.R. with a familiar other woman. Distraught over J.R.'s apparent infidelity, Cally runs to Alex for comfort.

NARRATOR:
Last on Dallas:

- How do you feel about having a brother?
- Cally gonna have a baby?

- You don't mind me being at Ewing Oil?
- Not as long as you remember who runs it.

I felt the same
when I found out about Ray Krebbs.

So, what happened?

Ray and I became as close
as Bobby and I are.

The way I want you and James to be.

This is notice of a civil proceeding
being instituted against Ewing Oil...

...specifically Bobby James Ewing,
president...

...by Carter McKay
on behalf of Westar.

I'm already backing Cliff.



Must be some way
I can change your mind.

Maybe it is time to think about marriage.

I think you finally succeeded
in burying Ewing Oil once and for all.

I think my daddy would be ashamed
to call me his son.

When your daddy thought he was dying,
he wrote this to you.

Thank you, Daddy.

And I love you too.

And I'll never let those bastards
get me down.

I heard you come in. Is everything okay?

Fine. Just fine.

- Good news?
- The best.

We're gonna beat them on this, James.
Nobody's gonna stop us.

Least of all Barnes and that bunch
of witch hunters he calls a committee.

That's great.
It's good to hear you talk like that.



Yeah, you just ain't woofing, boy.

Tomorrow, I'm gonna show the world
what the Ewings are made of.

Hello, darling.

J.R.

You don't really wanna sleep, do you?

I lost my way.

But I'm back now.

Welcome home, J.R.

[LAUGHING]

MICHELLE: You're leaving now?
CLIFF: Off to Austin.

Your meeting isn't until tomorrow.

I know. I'm gonna get there
and make sure everything's organized.

- I'll call you when I get there.
- I'll make breakfast.

- Shouldn't leave on an empty stomach.
- Get some at the airport.

What about your briefcase?
Don't you need papers and stuff?

Wow. I can't believe I almost forgot that.

I'm really excited for you, Cliff.

- You seem so happy.
- Yeah, no kidding.

You know what the best part of it is?

That the public
is really behind me getting Ewing Oil.

What about the other committee members?
Are they gonna see things the same way?

Most of them.

So not everyone agrees with you.

There are a couple of them
that are kind of thorns in my side.

Always asking questions
and wanting proof.

But they're gonna see
that Ewing Oil is guilty.

That is a shame.

Maybe they have a connection
you don't know about.

Diana Farrington and George Middleton?

She's been
on every save-the-whale committee...

...he hires the handicapped for his stores.

They're bleeding hearts.
I can't believe they're not hemophiliacs.

- What are you gonna do?
- I don't know.

But I am not gonna let these
troublemakers ruin this committee.

I'm gonna nail Ewing Oil,
and I am gonna nail them good.

J. R:
Better be good, boy.

Something that's gonna sink McKay
along with his tanker.

And I think this will help.

It seems Westar
has gone computerized...

...which enabled them
to cut back on crew members.

So it's possible the tanker was severely
undermanned at the time of the collision.

Think it was bad enough
to contribute to the accident?

MAN:
I think so.

Crew men were doing double,
even triple shifts.

Just returned from Europe.

Barely had time for shore leave
before reloading and heading back out.

- So this may not be entirely your fault.
- Of course it wasn't our fault.

We weren't steering that tanker,
Halliday's drunken captain was.

Maybe it wasn't his fault either.

- Maybe the Westar captain wasn't steering.
MAN: That's true.

Especially since Westar went to great
lengths to not mention their crew shortage.

Well, even if it is true, I guarantee you,
Barnes will find a way to bury it.

Maybe not.

And maybe
Westar is hiding other slip-ups too.

What difference does it make?

The Far Away Hills captain is a drunken sot
with a lousy record 10 miles long.

- Then let him tell us that.
- What are you talking about?

I think maybe it's time
we paid Mr. Bouleris a visit.

You mean you haven't talked to him yet?
He's a key witness.

The only thing that man witnessed
was pink elephants dancing inside his head.

I take it you don't wanna come with me.

If you wanna spin your wheels
trying to sober up a man...

...that's probably been drunk 30 years,
that's your business.

But I have better ways
to get us out of this mess.

Not that I don't enjoy these visits,
but you could call once in a while.

J.R.'s probably got my phone bugged.

He's probably got my car phone bugged.

Well, you got a point.

What's on your mind?

I just want some assurances from you...

...before I bang down that gavel
on the committee meeting.

Assurances about what?

The deeper I investigate,
the dirtier I'll find Ewing Oil.

What are you coming to me for?
I don't own their rust bucket.

Yeah, but it was their rust bucket
that crashed into your tanker.

I wanna make sure your tanker wasn't doing
anything that helped cause that collision.

Have you forgotten our deal?

Or are you having
some sort of an attack of conscience?

No. No, I just wanna cover all bases.

I don't want any surprises.

There are no surprises.

We both know J.R. Ewing.

You're not gonna have any trouble
finding Ewing Oil guilty on all counts.

Ah.

Well, it's Saturday morning,
your husband's at the office...

...and you don't care.
What's wrong with this picture?

I don't mind J.R. Not being here.

He's got important work to do.

James and John Ross didn't go with him,
did they, Cally?

He didn't tell me anything about it.

Do you know where they went,
Christopher?

They went out together somewhere.

James and John Ross?

How interesting.

Where did they go, Christopher?

James bought a motorcycle.

He's taking John Ross for a ride.

Why didn't you go with them?

Who wants to go riding
on some dumb old motorcycle?

Christopher couldn't have gone.
There's only room for two...

Well, maybe James
will take you out later, then.

He already asked me.

But I didn't wanna go.

You okay back there?

Fine.

I used to have one back East.

They're really great for just getting out
and riding around.

Anytime you wanna ride,
let me know.

My father takes me
anywhere I wanna go.

You know, I'm not trying to steal
your daddy away from you, John Ross.

Why are you here?

Because you're my family.

You have a mother.

If you want a family,
why did you leave her?

Because I have a father now.

And a little brother.

You know, I really love my mother.

It's just I always felt
something was missing.

And you think it was my daddy?

At the time, I didn't know what it was.

I just always felt like
I didn't belong anywhere.

I wasn't happy at home.

Or in the schools my mother sent me to.

Why? What was so bad about them?

Nothing, really.

I think
it was just something inside of me.

I finally ended up in a military school.

I don't think my mother knew
what to do with me anymore.

That stinks.

My mom would never send me
anywhere I didn't wanna go.

Well, I think I kind of forced her to do it.

I mean, not that I really belonged
in a military school.

I never really felt at home anywhere
till I got to Dallas.

My dad really likes you.

I can tell.

Yeah? Well, I really like him too.

He's got a lot of money.

The money doesn't matter to me,
John Ross. I always had enough of my own.

What about running an oil company?

That would be pretty neat.

John Ross,
I don't wanna run an oil company either.

I really don't know what I wanna do.

Except maybe hang here a while
and get to know your daddy and you.

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like
to have an older brother.

Yeah? Well,
now you don't have to wonder anymore.

Can we go riding around
on your motorcycle some more?

Sure.

Or you can have
what's behind door number three.

- Ta-da!
- I can have that?

It's mine?

If you want it.

I want it.

But you're not gonna get this key
till I teach you how to ride this thing.

What are you waiting for? Let's go.

[CHIMES PLAYING O VER SPEAKERS]

[DOORBELL RINGS]

WOMAN:
Go away.

I just wanna talk to you for a minute.

WOMAN: I'm tired of talking.
Can't you people leave me in peace?

My name is Bobby Ewing.
I'd like to speak with Jack Bouleris.

What do you want with him?

I wanna talk to him
about the tanker collision. Is he in?

And what would you say to him
if he was?

Would you fire him again to his face?

I just wanna hear his side of the story.

Oh, really?

Since when do you believe
he has a side to the story?

Doesn't he?

Look, Mr. Ewing, you sure didn't care
about his side of things when you fired him.

Why should we believe you now?

- Lf I could just talk to him.
- You destroyed my husband.

And I'll be damned if I'm gonna stand back
and let your lies throw him in jail.

CALLY: Miss Ellie,
I can't believe you're leaving.

CLAYTON: Well, Ellie got a call from a fellow
that owns a boarding house in Pride.

Something's happened and he wants
the new owner to have a look.

Well, what is it?

He wouldn't tell me.
He said I had to take care of it in person.

Well, I hope it's not another
family Grandpa rescued.

They'll all be moving into Southfork.

That's fine with me, Lucy.
We'll give them your room.

Lord knows it would be put to better use.

Well, just come back as soon as you can.

Yeah, I miss you too.

Bye.

Okay, you guys,
now, this is the only deck I could find.

ELLIE:
Everything all right with April?

Yeah, her mother's moving and
needed help with the financial footwork.

Dad, maybe James could get you
a motorcycle...

...and the three of us could go riding.

- Well.
- James is a real neat guy, Cally.

You should see the four-wheeler
he got me.

You mean, he bought you
a little red wagon? Whoopee.

BOBBY:
Christopher.

At least we get to go places
and we're not gonna take you.

CALLY: John Ross, that's not nice.
JOHN ROSS: But it's true.

And I'm really glad I don't have to hang out
with you anymore, you little drip.

John Ross, just take it easy.
We're having a nice evening.

We don't have to take him with us,
do we, Dad?

John Ross, we'll discuss this later.

JOHN ROSS:
No way, I won't take him.

He's a tagalong, geeky creep.

- You're pond scum and toe jam together.
- You two wanna go straight to bed?

He's too young to go out with us.

Why don't you go upstairs
and play with your dolls?

BOBBY:
No, Christopher.

Christopher, come here.
Come on, that's enough.

- He started it, Dad. He started it.
J. R: You both did.

Now you apologize. Go ahead.

I'm sorry.

BOBBY:
Christopher?

Me too.

BOBBY: All right, shake hands
and forget the whole thing.

No, I won't.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING
O VER SPEAKERS]

I can't do this.

Sure you can.

I spent seven years in a military school.
All I know is the goose step.

It's easy. Watch me.

[SLOW MUSIC PLAYING]

Now this I can do.

I bet you didn't learn
those moves in military school.

Maybe a little of Europe
rubbed off on me after all.

[MICHELLE SPEAKS IN FRENCH]

JAMES: Hey, you know what they say,
"Make love not war."

Ten million Frenchmen can't be wrong.

Is Cliff still in Austin?

Is that a personal
or professional question?

Both.

Then, personally, yes, he is.

JAMES:
Isn't that nice?

And, professionally,
I need you to set up a meeting with J.R.

- When?
- Tomorrow.

For what?

There's some members of Cliff's committee
he might be interested in hearing about.

So you're coming over to our side?

Looks that way.

What made you change your mind?

I got an offer I couldn't refuse.

You won't regret it.

I see you found my old dartboard.

When I was your age,
I had you Uncle J.R.'s picture on it.

John Ross is a creep, Dad.

Why does he have to be my cousin?

Christopher, I understand
that he's been rough on you lately.

But I really don't think that's the answer.

Come here, sit down.
I wanna talk to you.

Is this gonna be
another father-and-son talk?

Yeah, I guess it is.

Would it help you if I told you...

...that I understand
why you wanna punch out John Ross?

- You do?
- Sure.

Not that you should do it.

He's feeling pretty mixed up lately.

Doesn't look that way to me.

Well, of course not,
he wouldn't admit it to anybody.

Tell you what,
I want you to think a minute...

...and walk around in John Ross' shoes.

His feet smell.

Okay, his feet smell. But do it anyway.

Now, think about it.

What's it like to be John Ross right now?

Pretty neat.

He gets an older brother
to do things with.

Okay.

It's gotta be kind of a shock too,
don't you think?

Just finding out you have an older brother,
no matter how great that older brother is?

I know he didn't like James at first.

Well, maybe he needs a little more time
to get used to him.

Well, James can do things with Uncle J.R.
That John Ross can't.

How do you think
John Ross feels about that?

Lousy.

You think maybe because he feels so lousy
that's why he's taking it out on you?

But that's not fair.

I'm sorry, Christopher,
nobody said life has to be fair.

Right now,
John Ross' life is upside down...

...and he's coping with it
the only way he knows how.

Maybe it would help
if you weren't so mad at him.

What do you think?

I think I like being
in my own shoes better.

[BOBBY CHUCKLES]

- Dad?
- What?

I know about Lucas...

...but I don't have any older brothers
hanging around somewhere, do I?

I promise, no older brothers.

Good.

MICHELLE:
Isn't life perfect?

JAMES:
Almost.

MICHELLE:
Almost?

I think you just hurt my feelings.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way.

Where are you going?

JAMES:
To Southfork.

I thought you were gonna
spend the night here.

I don't know.

Come on, stay. Please?

At least tell me what's wrong.

I'm worried about my mother.

This is not a good sign.

You know what I mean.

I'm so lucky,
I have you, I have a new family.

She has nothing.

Except a ton of money and a home
in every European city on the map.

She doesn't have J.R.

She really want J. R?

I think so.

When she talks about him,
there's something in her voice.

She still loves him, Michelle.

She should be with him.

Tell that to Cally.

Yeah, right.

It's not that I have anything
against Cally, but...

But she's married to J. R...

...and your mother isn't.

She's a really nice girl.

I just wish she'd
go away somewhere forever.

That would really make you happy,
wouldn't it?

So your mom could be with J. R?

It would make everything perfect.

[SIGHS]

I never thought it possible.

I feel like I'm falling in love with you
all over again.

Me too, hon.

[PHONE RINGS]

Yeah?

Where you been?

Well, yeah, I can do that.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh. Well, l...

Fine, I'll see you there.

Okay.

Who was that?

It's James. I gotta go meet him.

It's a little business I gotta do.

What kind of business?

Oh, just business, honey.

Then it can wait.

[J.R. LAUGHS]

I know a gallery showing
would be more prestigious than here.

I'd like to present your paintings
to a wider audience.

I'm taking this place over.

Really? And show my paintings here?

- Lf that's okay with you.
- Oh, that would be great.

Thanks, Alex.

I'm just happy to see
your life is all in one piece again.

Does this mean I can crack the whip
without being called an insensitive bully?

We'll see.

My car's out outside.
Can I give you a ride somewhere?

No, thanks. I have to finalize
the arrangements for your showing.

Well, it sounds so exciting.
I just hope I don't disappoint you.

Never.

Okay, well, I gotta go.

That's funny.
I didn't know J.R. Was meeting James here.

Cally, no. It may not be what you think.

Do you really believe that?

How could he betray me like this?

After all his promises, all his sweet talk?

He was just making a fool out of me.

You're not the fool.

You are a beautiful, sensitive,
passionate woman.

And if J.R. Can't see
his incredible good luck...

...he's more stupid than I imagined.

But you don't understand.
I knew all along things weren't right.

I had bad feelings about Marilee Stone
and all those other women in his life.

I even let him talk me into trusting him.

I'm the one who's stupid.

Stop believing that right now.

J.R. Is a fool and an idiot.

I don't ever wanna hear you
blaming yourself.

But he doesn't love me, Alex.

Our marriage is a lie.

Cally.

Last time,
I didn't think this was gonna happen.

A girl's entitled to change her mind.

- You still have that bank book?
- Oh, yeah, sure.

Now, wait a minute. Don't be impatient.

I wanna see
if your information is worth it.

I promise, you won't be disappointed.

Much safer than your office.

We wouldn't want Barnes finding out
you were dropping in on Ewing Oil.

- Meeting started.
CLIFF [ON TV]: Call to order...

...the first meeting
of this investigatory committee.

The purpose being to uncover all the facts
behind the Westar-Ewing tanker disaster.

And our first witness
will be Captain Bernard...

Will you turn the volume down?
If I hear that anymore, I'm gonna get sick.

CLIFF:
- The SS Alexander Hamilton.

All right. Michelle,
what do you got for me?

Cliff said there were two people
on his committee giving him trouble.

There's one of them, George Middleton.

He's some kind of a businessman.

J. R:
Yeah. Yeah, I know him.

He started off
with one computer software store.

Now he's got a whole bunch of them.
Very community-minded.

Captain, you were the first to arrive
at the scene of the collision, is that correct?

MAN: That is correct, sir.
We received a radio...

MICHELLE: There's the other one.
The woman, Diana Farrington.

JAMES: Even I've heard of her.
Big name in social circles.

Occasionally crosses my mother's path
in Europe.

MAN: Ma'am, I did not.
- Are you sure of these two?

CLIFF:
Yeah, but you arrived...

Positive.

Cliff would kill
to be able to change their minds.

Yeah, but he's not going to.

Not if I get to them first.

Here you are, darling.

WOMAN: Bur you didn't actually see
what happened...

Yeah, I think this calls for a quick trip
down to Austin this afternoon.

But, you know,
you can see that Ewing Oil is to blame.

I don't see anything yet, Cliff.

If all the evidence was in,
we wouldn't need this committee.

That's not the point. It was
the Ewing tanker that caused the spill.

Whatever happened
to "innocent until proven guilty"?

What kind of proof do you need?
Just open your eyes, use them.

There may be
more than one guilty party here, Cliff.

And besides, let's not ignore
the rumors floating around town.

- I don't listen to rumors.
- Well, you should.

These are saying you're gunning
for the Ewings and ignoring justice.

That's ridiculous.

Their captain was a drunk,
their tanker was a floating disaster.

They dug their own grave.
I'm just seeing that they get buried in it.

That's not good enough for me.

I don't know what you need.

How about the captain's testimony,
and the crew?

And the condition of the Westar tanker
and its crew?

And any and everything else
pertaining to this incident...

...I can get my hands on.

McKAY:
Bravo.

Don't let Cliff Barnes railroad you
into a decision, Mrs. Farrington.

McKay, what are you doing here?

Well, I'm just as interested
in this committee as you are, Barnes.

Are you sure you're not here to persuade me
to see Cliff's side of things?

I'm sure
you're gonna find Westar innocent.

But based on the facts,
not on forceful persuasion.

Hey, look, I'm not shoving bamboo shoots
under her fingernails.

McKAY: Aren't you?
- No, we're having lunch.

He's saving the bamboo shoots
for dessert.

McKAY: Well,
you seem to be holding up very well.

Mrs. Farrington, I'm as interested as you are
in justice being done.

But that's not going to happen
unless the committee approaches this fairly.

Absolutely.

And believe me, Mr. McKay,
if the facts say Ewing Oil is guilty...

...l'll be the first one
to lead them to their cell...

...and throw the key into the gulf
they so hideously polluted.

[TIRES SQUEAL]

Cally, what's wrong?

He lied to me, Lucy.

The promises he made,
the times he told me he loved me...

...nothing but lies.

Let me guess,
does this liar's initials begin with J. R?

I saw him with April's sister.

It's bad enough he slept with April,
now he's going after Michelle too.

What am I gonna do?

I'm sorry, Cally.

I really am.

You've always been too good for him.

I should have said something to him
instead of running away.

Why? So he could laugh in your face?

Is that what he would do?

Does he really love me that little?

No.

I think he loves you a lot.

But I tried to warn you
from the beginning what he's like.

How can I ever look at him again?

Don't give him the satisfaction.

Go upstairs, pack your bags, call a lawyer
and sue for half of everything he owns.

Lucy, I can't.

I love him.

I don't wanna leave him.

Cally, please,
don't turn into what Sue Ellen used to be.

I promise you...

...the hell he will put you through
is not worth it.

Well, I'm not gonna let Michelle
put one over on me.

Ugh! I can just picture her
and J.R. Laughing behind my back.

LUC Y: What are you gonna do,
ride her out of town?

This is Dallas, not Haleyville.

I don't care.

If I knew where she lived...

...l'd go right on over there
and give her a piece of my mind.

Forget about it. Put it behind you.

It is not worth it.

It's worth it to me.

It's my life they're playing with.

Michelle is staying with Cliff Barnes.

But wait, you better cool off a bit
before you go over there.

Cally, you cannot handle this right now.

Watch me.

Same, Judy.

I'm looking for a Jack Bouleris.

Excuse me, I'm looking for Jack Bouleris.
I was told he hangs out here.

BOULERIS:
What's it to you?

My name is Bobby Ewing.
I'm president of Ewing Oil.

I know who you are.

We all know who Bobby Ewing is.

Maybe you could tell me
where Jack Bouleris is.

I'd like to ask him a few questions.

Really? Like what?

Like what his side of the story is.

If he has one.

Do you have one, Mr. Bouleris?

Leave me alone.

It's fine to be known as a drunk who couldn't
steer his way to the drain in a bathtub?

That's not true.

Ten years ago, you were fired from
the Wilkinson shipping line for drunkenness.

Seven years ago, you were fired again,
drunkenness and insubordination...

That's the past.

Well, what about now, Bouleris?

Are you guilty now?

Got the noose around your neck
and you want me to cut the rope?

- I'm not gonna tell you anything.
- Your neck is in the same noose as mine, pal.

We're both gonna hang
unless you start telling the truth.

[BOULERIS LAUGHS]

Truth. I'll give you the truth.

I was railroaded out of my job.

I was called a drunk.

I was made a laughingstock in front
of my family because you fired me.

Did you ram our tanker
into Westar's because you were drunk?

No.

Then what are you doing here
drinking with your buddies?

These are the last friends I have, Ewing.

Taste this.

Go on, taste it.

It's water.

I haven't had a drink in four years.

And if the powers that be had the smarts
to give me a blood-alcohol test that day...

...they would have discovered
I was as dry as the Sahara desert.

Then why is everybody saying different?

Because I'm the perfect patsy,
that's why.

If you had come to me at the beginning,
I would have told you what really happened.

But now I hope I take you down with me.

Okay, I'll see you back here at 9:00.

All right.

J. R:
Mr. Middleton.

I wonder if you would give me
a moment of your time.

Well, I'm not sure
I should be seen talking to you.

Well, why not? This is a public place.

I don't think either one of us
has anything to hide.

I know I don't.
Can you really say the same for yourself?

Mr. Middleton,
I hear that you're a fair and an honest man.

I'd like a fair and honest hearing
if you could spare the time.

All right, you've got a minute.

I know that Cliff Barnes is trying
to steamroll you people...

...into believing that Ewing Oil
is guilty for that collision.

I just wanted to thank you so much
for not buying that garbage.

All the facts aren't in yet. When they are,
I'll see if his garbage is worth anything.

Well, garbage is garbage...

...especially when it's coming out
of somebody like Barnes.

I understand you and Barnes
have some sort of feud.

Oh, no, not me. That's Barnes.

He just couldn't pull his weight
at Ewing Oil and he jumped ship.

And now he's using that committee
to point the blame at my brother and me.

So you're saying
that it's personal with Cliff?

Exactly.

And that's why I need a friend
on that committee.

I'm sorry,
I have all the friends I need right now.

I am not interested
in making any new ones.

Well, I'm not sure that your friends
are as interested in your well-being as I am.

Of course,
I'm talking about your financial well-being.

My friends mind their own business.

And I understand
that you're looking to expand your business.

Now, I have some friends who
might be willing to help you go nationwide.

Is this a bribe?

Oh, no, nothing like that.

Just one friend
looking out for another friend.

We are not friends.

And if you keep talking this way...

...you've earned yourself
one hell of an enemy.

Oh, I'm sorry, Jane,
I can't make it tonight.

No, Charles and I are having dinner
at Chez Nous. Yeah.

So another night?

Okay.

Okay, bye, Jane.

[DOORBELL RINGING]

I'm coming.

I'm coming.

I'm not deaf, you know.

I'm surprised you're home so early.

Excuse me?

Or was it just a quick romp,
no one the wiser?

What in the world are you talking about?

I'm not letting you get away with this.

I know what you did.

I won't have you laughing at me
behind my back.

Would you please speak English?

I was at the same hotel you were today.

I saw you and J.R. Heading for a room.

You think we're having an affair.

Aren't you?

Excuse my manners.
Would you care for a drink?

I want an answer.

And what if we are?

It's nothing new to J.R.

Ask April.

I'm asking you.

Are you sleeping with my husband?

Yes, I am.

Not that J.R. Would admit to it
if you went running to him.

Why?

Why are you doing this?

Don't you know by now?

He's irresistible.

Which reminds me,
I'm on my way to Austin to see a friend...

...and I really should start packing.

So I'm afraid you're gonna have to leave.

You stay away from him.

He doesn't belong to you.

J.R. Doesn't belong to anyone.

And if you can't accept that,
maybe you don't belong married to him.

Sorry, Mrs. Ewing,
but he isn't in right now.

SLY:
Mrs. Ewing?

CALLY:
Where is he?

He's in Austin, isn't he?

Isn't he?

We tried reaching you at home.

I don't know when he'll be back.

It's true.

Michelle said she was gonna meet him
in Austin.

Are you all right?

Would you like to sit down,
or could I get you a glass of water?

Do you have a number?

Somewhere where I can reach him?

I don't know where he's staying.

He said he'd check in.

I'll call as soon as I hear from him.

I won't be home.

KAY:
Excuse me, is Bobby Ewing in, please?

- I'm...
BOBBY: Kay?

Hi, Bobby.

Go on in the office.

Phyllis, would you file this for me?

Of course.

You redecorated.

- Everything looks great.
- Thanks.

No kiss for an old friend?

Sorry.

It's nice seeing you back
with the Ewing Oil name.

Kay, is everything all right?

Or is this another one
of your impulsive visits?

Well, I'd hate to think
I was only impulsive once every two years.

You never called or wrote
or even came here on business.

Well, I could say the same about you.

I picked up the phone a hundred times.

I just couldn't dial.

I know we said we'd be friends.

I guess it was easier said than done.

And now?

Kay, why are you here?

Bobby,
I thought I should tell you this in person.

The justice department's following...

...Cliff Barnes' committee investigation
very closely.

Kay, it's a vendetta.
Nothing more, nothing less.

Well, that may be,
but the justice department doesn't think so.

Depending on the outcome
of the investigation...

...the department is re-examining
the Ewing Oil franchise.

They may revoke your charter.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

[KNOCKING]

I'm gonna hurt him, Alex.

Just like he hurt me.

NARRATOR:
Next on Dallas:

I just don't want my father getting hurt
when Cally explodes.

Hey, if you want an omelet,
you gotta break a few eggs.

This woman flat out told me
she slept with J.R.

- I hope I'm not interrupting.
- April, I didn't know you were back already.

I spent the night with Alex Barton.

Last night with Cally,
it was the best night of my life.

I scrub your back, you scrub mine.
