Dallas (1978–1991): Season 14, Episode 10 - Lock, Stock and Jock - full transcript

Last on Dallas:

- Hello.
- Oh, I'm sorry.

You don't even know who I am.

I'm LeeAnn De La Vega.

Damn that man. He
didn't even recognize me.

So what?

But it's not the same.

Not if he doesn't
remember who I am.

I spoke to Mama
while I was here.

80 She's coming home?

She and Clayton are
gonna finish their trip.



It's not too late
to call off the sale.

I haven't changed my mind.

Carter McKay of Wesley?

He made me a
very attractive offer.

- I'd like to toast the new Mrs. Ewing.
- Thank you.

And I'd also like to
toast the ex-Mrs. Ewing.

On her child-to-be.

I'm not letting my son he raised on a
pig farm by a little country hick like you.

You don't have a choice
because you're not the father.

James is.

Hey. What"?

You filthy piece of garbage. I
ought to do you in right now.

Hey, what are you getting
so hot about? I did you a favor.

Taking advantage of Cally
like that? That's a favor?



I thought you'd wanna know
you had another kid on the way.

One more you could screw up.

I think it a perverted revenge,
talking like that in front of those people.

Well, if I put a little damper
on your party, it was worth it.

If that's what you wanted,
why didn't you tell the story?

What more did you want?

How about you and Cam;
making it behind my back?

Huh?

Don't try to deny it. She told me
you were the father of that child.

She did?

At least she has the
guts to tell the truth.

Well, what are you
getting so righteous about?

You never had any
trouble cheating on her.

Why does it bother you so
much that she returned the favor?

I'm not blaming her.

You took advantage of
that girl to get back at me.

If you had stayed home and taken care
of business, it would have never happened.

The only thing you care
about is if someone finds out...

I'm the one that put
the horns on you.

Well, nobody better find out.

Cally's gone now.

If you know what's good for you,
you won't say a word to anybody.

Trust me, Daddy. It
will be our little secret.

It's something you'll always
remember. That's good enough for me.

Besides, I'd rather have my
mother think the baby is yours.

It's not too late for her to
change her mind about you.

If that's what you're
counting on, forget it.

By the time I'm finished
talking to your mother...

she's gonna be so
sorry, we just might elope.

You got no morals,
you got no scruples.

You might be worthy of me yet.

Cliff?

Cliff? Let me in.

Have you been listening to
the radio? Have you heard?

Have I heard what?

McKay has been arrested
for Johnny's murder.

McKay?

What, they've arrested McKay?

It's wonderful. We're not
under a cloud anymore.

Yeah, but why would
they arrest McKay?

Well, McKay and Johnny
went back a long way.

He obviously killed
him to keep him quiet.

But what's the difference
why? We're in the clear now.

Yeah, but they'll
never convict him.

Would you lighten up?

Come on, you can
have your career back.

If you don't do anything dumb,
you can still have me. Heh.

Okay.

Okay, you got a deal.

Ahh.

So I told James what I thought
of him which wasn't a great deal.

And that he
disappointed me terribly.

- What did he say to that?
- Very little.

He tried to justify it by
saying that he did it for me.

And that's all he said?

More or less.

Well, this doesn't change
anything between you and me.

I'll know better when I know what
happened between you and Cally.

Well, needless to say, she was as shocked
at what James did as you and I were.

She never intended to tell me.

But now you know.

Yes. Yes.

She said she was leaving Dallas.

She even got a restraining
order to keep me away from her.

Do you intend to obey it?

Yes.

She convinced me that the
child would be much better off...

never knowing me.

That and not wanting this whole
thing to hang over our marriage.

Well, it just made me decide not to
try to take the child away from her.

Are you positive that you
can live with that, J.R.?

Vanessa, believe me.

I'm never, ever
gonna see that child.

McKAY : Get out
of my office, Dancer.

Or Danzig or whatever your
name happens to be this week.

Not bad.

I haven't even made my first
move, you're already sweating.

McKAY: 1 said get out.

JOHNNY“. 1 will for now.

First thing that gets
changed is this office.

I thought you had
better taste, Mac.

McKAY: You make one move
to take over my company...

you're a dead man.

Obviously, you
didn't let him enjoy it.

McKAY: So I threatened him.

So what? That's not proof.

It's not even
admissible in court.

Uh, that's not strictly true.

You got a good lawyer, McKay.

The fact is this
isn't a wiretap.

We didn't place the bug.

This tape was sent to
us by a concerned citizen.

I think we can use it
and so does the DA.

Concerned citizen, hell.

I know who sent that
tape and I know why.

Why don't you tell
me who and why?

That has nothing to do with
the charges against my client.

Maybe yes, maybe no.
You're right, this isn't proof.

But it's a hell of a motive.

And along with
everything else...

I think we got a pretty
good case against you.

Well, fortunately, that decision is
in the hands of the district attorney.

He may see your, uh,
evidence in a different light.

I don't think so.

I don't know what your client
told you but I'll bet it's not a lot.

Well, he told me that he
was mistakenly identified...

as to being in that
hotel that night.

As you know, Mr. McKay was
confirmed to have been elsewhere...

at the time of the shooting.

Hm. That's the funny thing about murder.
You get a lot of contradictory evidence.

Like for example, Mrs. McKay
saying he was home with her.

What's contradictory about that?

She came to see me last night.
She told me you forced her to lie.

And we have her deposition
saying you weren't home all night.

That little where's
trying to crucify me.

I was home. She'll change
her story again, tell you the truth.

Maybe she will.

But I think a jury's gonna have a real
hard time believing anything she says.

Especially what's
true and what isn't.

A wife can't testify
against her husband.

She can't be made to, but she
sure can of her own free will.

The way she was acting...

you might not be married
by the time this goes to trial.

This is still all
just circumstantial.

Mr. Bussey, you don't
have any hard evidence.

I was wondering when
you would get around to that.

The fact is we got
some real hard evidence.

Mr. McKay's fingerprints on a
glass in Danzig's hotel room.

So I went to see him. It
wasn't the night of the shooting.

We checked out that possibility
but unfortunately for you...

the hotel tells us they change
every glass in every room, every day.

Mr. McKay.

Why don't you just
confess and save the state...

a whole lot of trouble,
time and money?

Because I didn't
kill him, damn it.

And I'm never
going to say I did.

Well, what are you doing here?

I was about to order lunch.

Well, I mean...
Well, this is my table.

Oh.

Isn't it funny how easy it is
to become attached to things?

I was told this was reserved for
Ewing Oil, so naturally, I sat here.

But please, join me.

And feel free to use the
table anytime I'm not here.

Please, sit down.

- Well, pretty generous of you.
- I'm delighted you came by.

Gives me a chance to
thank you for last night.

Oh?

Can I bring you something?

- Uh, a lime and soda, please.
- I'll have my usual.

Be right back.

Well, now, where were we?

Oh, yes, I was telling you
how much I enjoyed last night.

Dallas is a great deal
different than Caracas.

Much more amusing.

And what did you find so
amusing about last night?

Just trying to tell the players
without a score card for one thing.

Oh, well, I... Why
would you care?

Heh. Because it's
such a tangled web.

I wonder if I have it straight.

Uh, now, let's see.

The young man you sent
home before the fireworks...

is your son by your
first wife, is that correct?

Yes, that's right.

And, uh, the little blond girl,
your ex-wife, is carrying your child.

And the handsome
young man she was with...

is your son by the woman
you just became engaged to.

Well, it's really not so
confusing as it seems.

Well, I suppose it gets more
clear once you say it out loud.

Yeah, the more, the merrier.

A man can't have
too many children.

I suppose that
depends upon the man.

Or the woman.

Do you have any children?

No.

No, where you have children
popping out of the woodwork...

I've never had a child.

Would you care to order now?

Oh, my goodness, I certainly
would. All this talk has me famished.

Uh, won't you please
join me? It's my treat.

Well, I suppose I
have to eat somewhere.

Would you bring
another menu, please?

Mm. I don't need a menu.

I know. You're going to have the usual.
- Heh.

Bring me whatever he's having.

Better be careful.
You may not like it.

I like your table.

I'm sure I'll like your lunch.

Hey, hey, come on. Hey,
this is making me nervous.

What are you doing,
huh? What are you doing?

You'll like it, trust me.

Hit it, boys.

Ha, ha. Hey, what
is this all about?

Trying to rectify a mistake.

See, when you did this for me, you
thought that I was still a New Yorker.

Well, I'm not. I am a
dyed-in-wool Texan and proud of it.

So if you still have the
ring and the desire...

and if you would
care to ask me again...

I'll give you the world's
fastest three-letter answer.

Hold it, guys.

That's it, boys,
that's it. Appreciate it.

You're very good, but right now,
I need you to hit the road, huh?

Listen, can you"?
Here's the money.

Can you come back
tomorrow and get that, uh...?

Get that cart out of here?

- I just need a little privacy.
Thank you. LIZ: Ha-ha-ha.

I don't have the ring with me.

But I have the desire.

Elizabeth Adams, would you
do me the honor of marrying me?

Cliff Barnes, nothing would give
me more pleasure than to say "yes."

You really mean that?

Yes, I really do.

So why don't you hush
up and kiss the bride-to-be?

Actually, a meal like that is good
for the soul once in a while. Ha, ha.

Although I must admit,
those chilies were a trifle hot.

You put that sign back where you got
it. She doesn't own this company yet.

Oh, didn't I
mention it at lunch?

I signed the
papers this morning.

Ewing Oil no longer exists.

I'm sorry this came as
such a surprise to you.

But as you know, the stipulation
for buying the company...

was losing the Ewing Oil name.

It's happened before.

One of these days, there'll
be a Ewing Oil again.

Possibly.

But I'm afraid it will
never be the same.

Now, I know you're concerned about
the ladies who have worked for you.

But I've talked to them all...

and they've agreed to
continue on and work for me.

They obviously know more
about the company than I do.

That's very gracious of you.

Well, it's only fair.

Do you have a few
minutes to talk? In my office?

I suppose so. I seem
to be out of a job.

I got nothing else to do.

This way.

I know the way.

I had Miss Lovegren pack your things.
You can move them out any time now.

- Would you care for anything?
- No, thank you.

I'm kind of surprised
you're keeping the furniture.

Oh, ha, ha, it's only
temporary until mine arrive.

I hope it doesn't upset
you too much. Uh...

- my having taken your office.
- No.

No, it's your company. You
can do anything you want to it.

What about you?

According to the Ewing books,
you own most of the assets.

You'll have money to buy
another company all on your own.

I'm not sure I'm gonna
do anything like that.

Then you don't really have
any plans yet. That's good.

Oh, why?

Because I may have
something that will interest you.

Oh, well, I doubt it.

Unless you're willing to
sell the company back to me.

I didn't buy Ewing Oil just to
turn it over for a quick profit.

Then what?

Perhaps join forces with me.

Ewing Oil, while
important to me...

is not nearly the size of
my Venezuelan company.

And I don't want it consuming
too much of my time.

And anyway, I may be
returning home again soon.

Well, lady, I'm
not a hired hand.

Of course not.

I just want you to consider the
possibility of working with me.

Helping me run things.

And of course, when I do leave,
you'll be in almost complete control.

Well, I can never do
this on a salary basis.

That was never my intention.

If things work well between us, I
would consider giving a minor ownership.

Say, 10 percent.

You'll put that on paper?

I already have.

You're really sure of
yourself, aren't you?

Well, I think I know what
this company means to you.

Yeah, I think you do.

I suppose I'll be
taking Bobby's office.

I think it would make
him feel better...

knowing you were in there
instead of some stranger.

When's this all start?

Tomorrow would be fine.
I'll have your things moved.

I would've thought
you'd already done that.

Well, I wasn't quite that sure.

Well, all right.

All right.

I'll see you tomorrow morning.

Boss.

Cliff, I can wait until
tomorrow to get the ring.

Yes, I'm very happy.

I love you.

I'll see you in the morning.

Oh, and never mind
about the hot-dog bun.

Good night.

Yes?

Miss Adams, this
is Detective Bussey.

May I come in?

Why?

I just wanna talk
with you for a minute.

What is there to talk about?
You already have Johnny's killer.

May I come in?

All right.

That's kind of what I
wanted to talk about.

See, I thought we had the
killer too until this arrived.

It came in the mail.
No return address.

Kind of makes me think you had more
reason to kill Danzig than McKay did.

And according to this...

Danzig was responsible
for your brother's death.

So what?

I might have hated
him, but I didn't kill him.

That's funny. McKay
says the same thing.

Said he didn't kill him either.
You never get a flat-out confession.

You're not gonna get one from me.
This dossier doesn't mean anything.

It means you had more of
a motive than we realized.

You never did say where you
were the night he was killed.

That's right, I didn't.

I'd like to know.

- Is that an official question?
- Curious.

In that case, it's
none of your business.

Until such time as you
wanna make a formal charge...

stay away from me.

I suppose you were just here
reading a good book or something.

Do I have to get a court order?

No, ma'am.

If we meet again, it
will be real official...

but for an innocent woman,
you sure are acting strange.

He was so easy, it was pathetic.

I convince him that I was leaving the
door open for him to get the company back.

And he jumped at the chance.

I just don't understand why
you want him working for you.

Because it's much easier to
keep an eye on him that way.

And to make his
life more miserable.

I always thought I was tough.

But I didn't know the meaning
of the word till I met you.

Because you've never
had a reason to be.

But believe me, I have.

I was 17 years old.

All of a sudden at the
University of Texas.

Biggest place I ever seen.

Are you from a small town?

So was I.

Oh, well, I'll bet your daddy
wasn't a Baptist school teacher.

Let me tell you, that
was one strict man. Heh.

I'd never even been
to a dance back home.

No wonder you were scared.

Well, it took a while,
but I got used to it.

I just kind of lost
myself in my books.

Then I got a job in a little
restaurant to help pay the bills.

And that's where you met him?

Later.

It was toward the
end of the first year.

I'd never met
anyone quite like him.

A lot of people have said that.

He was mighty
impressive, Mr. J.R. Ewing.

I never saw anybody
quite like him.

Real high-stepping senior.

Heir to Ewing Oil. Ha.

He was something.

- And you started dating him?
- After a while.

I said no for a long time.

There were lots
of girls there...

and I couldn't quite figure out
why he kept coming after me.

From what I hear, J.R. mostly
wants what he can't have.

Mm. That might have been it.

Thank you.

He finally were me down.

We went out and
it was wonderful.

I've never been to the kinds
of places that he took me.

He knew everyone.

Just being with him made
me feel kind of special.

Thank you.

I forgot all the good things
my daddy drummed into me.

And one day, I
realized I was pregnant.

- Well, you told him, didn't you?
- Oh, of course.

I thought he'd be happy.

I thought we'd get married
and everything would be all right.

But what he did was call me
everything but the village where.

He said he didn't
think the baby was his...

and that he wasn't gonna spoil his life
by marrying some little no-account like me.

That's J.R., all right.

But did you have the baby?

Oh, honey.

Things were different then.

Unmarried pregnancies were
unacceptable in those days.

I knew my parents
would never understand.

It would cause a scandal in
the small town I came from.

I couldn't go home.

And I couldn't have the baby.

So I did something
I've regretted all my life.

You had an abortion.

A girlfriend told
me about a doctor.

Doctor.

He was a miserable, dirty quack.

He did it in some
nasty little hotel room.

Oh, I lost my baby, all right.

But I almost died
from the abortion.

Oh, LeeAnn.

It took me a long
time to recover.

I had to drop out of college...

and by the time I got back on
my feet, all my money was gone.

No wonder you
wanna get back at him.

Oh, I don't just want
to get back at him.

I'm going to change
his life totally.

Just like he changed mine.

Beaumont, this is the last time.

What are you doing here?

I came to congratulate you.

I hear you made a complete ass of
yourself the other night at the Oil Barons.

Just trying to make
life better for my daddy.

What business is it of yours?

None. Anybody that
harpoons J.R., I'm in favor of.

Think I've forgiven him for shipping
me out to the Bahamas like that?

You bitching about that?

Look, he might have gotten
Inagaki to offer you that job.

But you're the one who took it.

You're the one who ran
off on your sister and me.

You could've stopped me.

If you would've asked
me to stay, I would have.

Hey, I don't lead
anybody's life but my own.

You knew just what
you were doing.

Looking around here, I think
it's a good thing I did leave town.

Can you imagine me ending
up with some dumb mechanic?

Hey, nobody asked
you to end up with me.

And don't think I'm not glad.

You don't care about
anybody but yourself.

You're even willing to let your
mother marry that snake, J.R.

Don't you even care enough
about her to break them up?

That's what the Oil
Barons was about.

I thought her finding out
about Cally's baby would do it.

But it didn't seem
to matter to her at all.

I don't know. Maybe
they deserve each other.

But she's your mother.

You know J.R.'s gonna do to her
what he's done to his other wives.

Not that it's any real
business of yours...

but I do know my
mother pretty well.

And the first time she finds
he's cheating on her, she's gone.

And if I know J.R.,
it won't be too long.

You can't be sure about that.

Oh, yeah, it will happen.

The only question is when.

What a sad thought.

Oh, I can see it's
breaking your heart.

While I still got a job,
why don't you split?

Why don't I?

If I need a
mechanic, I'll call you.

Don't bother.

I don't think I can fix the
problem you have with your motor.

Not anymore,
that's for damn sure.

- You wanted to see me?
- I wanna talk.

- You want your lawyer present?
- I don't need him.

You don't mind this in case
the issue comes up later?

I don't give a damn.

Go ahead, reminding you that this
conversation is of your initiation...

and taking place
at your request.

With no coercion or
intimidation on our part.

Okay, I'm doing this
of my own free will.

I also wanna repeat that I
did not kill Johnny Dancer.

I also don't like spending
any time in a cell...

so I'm gonna tell you
the truth about that night.

Go ahead.

I was at the Quorum that
night and I did meet with Johnny.

We had a drink together which is
why those fingerprints are on the glass.

And what was the
purpose of the meeting?

I was trying to convince
him to stay away from Westar.

And?

And nothing.

He said he was gonna
do what he pleased.

I didn't stay very long.

Are you telling us that he
was alive when you left him?

You're damn right, he was.

Then why were you still at
the hotel after the shooting...

as several eyewitnesses
have testified?

At the time Johnny was shot, I
was in another room at the hotel...

with a lady.

Unfortunately, she
happens to be the wife...

of one of the most important men in
this state and if he found out, he could...

Oh, boy.

Compared to spending any more time
in a cell, I'm willing to take my chances.

And are you willing now to
tell us just who this lady is?

I don't wanna
say it on the tape.

Important isn't the word.

If she vouches for you,
nobody would doubt her.

Especially something like this.

Talk to her. She'll tell
you what happened.

As long as you keep it quiet.

No guarantees about
privacy, but we'll talk to her.

I sure hope you're
not wasting our time.

You've wasted enough of mine.

Take him back.

What do you think?

Could be just dumb
enough to be true.

Let's find out.

I want you to
stay at the office.

Work for her.

I feel like a traitor to you.

Darling, you're gonna
be my eyes, my ears.

Now, I've let loose a pack of
people to dig up some dirt on her.

And they've only been
able to go back 20 years...

when she was
married to De La Vega.

Before that, nothing.

She either used a phony
name, or she doesn't have a past.

What I'm trying to say is I don't
have useful information on her.

Whatever you find
out, I've gotta know.

J.R., you know I'd do
anything to help you.

But she knows I
was your secretary.

She's not gonna trust
me with any information.

Yeah, I know that.

I don't want you to be pushy
or do anything suspicious.

Sooner or later, she's gonna drop
her guard and when she does...

that's when I'm
gonna make my move.

- Okay.
- You better get back to work.

- Aren't you coming back to the office?
- No.

Not right now. I got a
meeting with Harlem Murdock.

Murdock. Isn't he the man who setup
those dummy corporations for you?

Yeah, that's right.

I'm gonna activate
a couple of them.

Just in case I have to
make a purchase or two.

To try and get the company back?

Piece by piece,
darling. Piece by piece.

I'm gonna beat
Mrs. De La Vega yet.

- Hello.
- How nice to see you.

Thank you for joining me.

I was curious as to
why you wanted to meet.

Well, I thought as long
as we'll be sharing J.R...

in a sense, that it would be
nice to get to know one another.

And I didn't congratulate you
properly on your engagement.

Thank you.

That was quite a party.

You must love J.R. a lot.

Yes, I do.

What an odd thing to say.

Oh, please, don't take offense. I
only meant that from what I saw...

your son and your future husband
don't seem to like each other very much.

No.

No, that's true.

And I love my son a great deal.

But I'm also concerned
about my own happiness.

If I have to choose,
it will be J.R.

I envy you.

Feeling that way about a man.

I've been a widow
these past few years...

and I don't think I could ever feel about
any other man the way you feel about J.R.

That...

That special, wonderful feeling.

But you see, to me it's
much more than that.

He's the first man
I ever truly loved.

So it almost seems
like a miracle.

Mm. I'm sure it
must feel that way.

And were you
J.R.'s first great love?

I don't know, I...

Well, I'd like to think so.

I know there were
other women before me.

But perhaps they didn't
matter to him the way that I...

Well, the way that I seem to.

I do want you to know how wonderful
it is that you mean so much to J.R.

And he to you.

It gives me something
to think about.

I'm sorry the Paris
lead turned up empty.

Well, at least I got
to talk to Mama.

And I'm still looking.

Phyllis, I think this
just about does it.

Bobby, I know why
you sold the company.

But I just feel like crying.

Ah' come on. Things'“
get back to normal.

I'll get into something new.
When I do, I want you with me.

I hope so. I don't know how
long I'm gonna last without you.

Well, hopefully, it
won't be too long.

Take your hand off that picture.

You dishonored the
man hanging there.

That's the way you see it, huh?

You're damn right, I do.

How can you look at Daddy's
picture, defend what you did?

No matter what you
think, J.R., it wasn't easy.

But it was the right thing.

Bobby, you have every right
in the world to mourn April.

But burying Ewing Oil is
not gonna bring her back.

You better get it in your thick
head there is no Ewing Oil anymore.

Our name may not be on the door,
but as long as one Ewing works here...

it's still Ewing Oil and I
want that picture to stay.

Daddy looking down on one
boy he can still be proud of.

Fine. You can have it.

And you're right.

Daddy wouldn't have
understood, but I don't give a damn.

Phyllis, send all
this to the ranch.

Yes, sir.

How can you talk to him that
way after all he's been through?

- No concern of yours.
- But he's your brother.

If you wanna keep on working here,
you better watch your mouth, lady.

As far as I'm concerned,
I am an only child.

- Thanks.
- Thank you.

I can't imagine what
I ever saw in him.

He's really happy
just being a mechanic.

At first, I thought it was
to get under J.R.'s skin.

But I don't think so anymore.

But if that's not what he wanted then
why that announcement at the party?

According to him, it was to
make his mother see the light.

Well, if my lunch with his
mother was any indicator...

she's going full speed
ahead with the marriage plans.

Marry in haste.

Repent at leisure.

You think?

She seems very
much in love with him.

And he with her.

Her version of love and his
may be two different things.

I bet she's planning along
life of monogamous bliss.

But not J.R.?

Not the one I know.

And from what James told me...

the first time J.R. rocks
the boat, she is gone.

Well, he should know.

Do you think J.R. could be talked
into jeopardizing their relationship?

J.R. could be talked into
anything for Ewing Oil.

Wouldn't that be sad?

First to lose his company,
and then his wife.

You will let me be part of it.

I don't think I'm gonna
need much help...

but since none of this
would've happened without you...

you might as well
be there for the kill.

Who would ever guess
meeting you in the Bahamas...

would let us do what
we've done to the Ewings?

Anyone who believes in truth,
justice and the American way.

Here's to the American way.

Mr. Ewing?

Mr. Breslin hereto see you.

Oh, thanks, Teresa.

Well, Breslin, good evening.

Regrettably, I
don't think it is, sir.

We're hitting nothing
but dead ends.

Sheila Foley is
gonna be no help at all.

Everyone else in this picture...

with the exception of our
mystery woman is now dead.

Well, I obviously knew about
Jordan Lee and John Foley.

But what about the
others? How did they die?

- Is there any pattern?
- No, sir.

The Ridleys, this couple here,
they were in a boating accident.

The other man died of a heart
attack last year named BJ Swanson.

You don't know any more
than you did at the sanitarium?

I'm sorry, Mr. Ewing.

This is turning out to be a lot
more difficult than I ever anticipated.

Can I keep this?

Of course, sir, but why?

I know somebody who's
got real good contacts.

They owe me a favor.

Oh, Janine.

Thank you for coming.

You know I wouldn't gotten you involved
in this unless it was absolutely necessary.

All I want you to do is tell
them what happened that night.

It will never go any further than
here and your husband need not know.

Is this the man?

Yes, ma'am.

He claims the two of you were together
at the Quorum at the time of the shooting.

Why are you doing this?

Is it some sort of
political blackmail?

Janine, just tell them, please.

I don't know how you know who I am
or why you gave my name to the police...

but I have never seen
you before in my life.

Then why did you come down here?

To confront you face-to-face.

To stop any hint of
rumors spreading.

Mr. McKay's
story's false, I take it.

It is a horrendous lie.

And I tell you now,
if you persist in this...

my husband will be informed.

And you will all
regret that day.

I can assure you.

Ma'am, you understand we
did have to follow all the leads?

I understand.

But I expect never to
see any of you again.

Well, you were either telling the truth or
that was the dumbest alibi I ever heard.

Did you really think
she'd stand up for you?

She was with me as
God as my witness.

I don't think his
testimony is admissible.

So you got a real problem.

Cliff, you have to spend
some time at the office.

Oh, it's more fun here.

I thought you wanted
to impress Washington.

Yeah. But I'd
rather impress you.

Oh, I'm impressed.
I'm impressed.

- Now get to work.
- Yeah, okay.

Listen, why don't we order
up some breakfast, huh?

- Did you already call room service?
- No.

Yes?

Uh, Liz, it's Bobby Ewing.

Um, Bobby.

- Come on in.
- I'm sorry to bother you...

- Listen, is this bad timing?
- No.

No, of course not.

Besides, I have
something to show you.

It's official.

Well, I guess I can assume
everything is all right?

Aw, more than all right. I'm
the luckiest man in the world.

Really sorry, Bobby.

That's fine, Cliff, I'm happy
for you. And you too, Liz.

Thanks, Bobby.

Once they arrested McKay,
it took the pressure off us.

Yeah.

So, what brings you over?

Actually, I need some help, Liz.

With What?

With this.

That's the lady I've been looking
for and I've hit nothing but dead ends.

I was hoping you could run it through
your contacts and come up with something.

Well, I'll try, Bobby.

She'll do the best
she can, really.

I just need a name.

Just a name.

We appreciate your interest.

But at this point, we have
made no definite decision...

as to take the company public
or to keep it a private holding.

Come on in.

Oh. I'm sorry. Am I
interrupting something?

We're practically
finished. Come on in.

Uh, sincerely yours,
etcetera, etcetera.

- I'll sign it in the morning.
- Yes, ma'am.

Would you like me
to type that up tonight?

No, go on home.

- Good night then.
- Good night.

- J. R.
- Sly.

Well...

You do keep long hours.

Well, I could say
the same for you.

Why don't you pour us a drink?

Soda, right?

Right, soda.

So, what was it you wanted?

You sure you're not too
tired to talk about business?

It's my favorite subject.

Well, in that case, I got
some good news for you.

I've had some
people approach me...

who are very interested in
acquiring some Ewing holdings.

De La Vega holdings.

You know, that's gonna take
me along time to get used to.

We have time.

So, what about these holdings?

Well, actually, it involves some very
old fields of ours, long past their prime.

Some developers are
interested in the acreage alone.

For shopping malls and
housing projects. Stuff like that.

And they made a very good offer.

Did Vanessa tell you we
had lunch the other day?

Yeah, yeah, she did.

And she also said that she
admired your brains and beauty.

How sweet.

I was very impressed by her too.

By how much she loves you.

She talked about you a lot.

Well, that's nice to hear.

Now, about those fields.
Ewing 1 and Ewing 23.

And like I said, they
made a hell of an offer.

Well, at the moment, I have
no desire to sell anything.

But I must say, you're
really surprising me.

Oh, how's that?

Well, so many people would
feel bitter in your circumstances.

But you're really trying to
make our arrangement work.

I admire that in you.

And I also have to say I
find you very attractive.

But that sort of attraction could
be very bad for our relationship.

Yes, it could.

And you're a very
beautiful woman, LeeAnn.

But I'm about to marry the
woman I've always loved.

I know.

She told me.

Well, it's been a long day and I'm
sure you have things to do tonight.

Hm.

It really is too bad.

This doesn't have
to end with Ewing Oil.

Next on Dallas:

Looking for your
ex-partner, Hillary Taylor.

I'm not gonna talk
about Hillary and that's it.

Now get out of my way.

You'll like things
south of the border.

- You seem to have a strange effect on her.
- Yeah, I do.

I'm just frightened.
Please don't go.

There isn't much I can't do.

You might be right.

You are exactly
what I need. Come on.

I get carried away
by my emotions.

It's really my only weakness.
