Dallas (1978–1991): Season 2, Episode 9 - Survival - full transcript
A routine flight back to Dallas turns hairy for JR and Bobby when they run into a storm. But when the storm forces the plane down, things get even more hairy around Southfork when Miss Ellie decides to keep the news from Jock, fearing his heart won't be able to stand the stress, which gets even more difficult when the press forces themselves onto the ranch, looking for a comment from the family.
IT'S A LITTLE ROUGHER TRIP
THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE.
WHAT'S GOING ON, JOHN?
GOOD NIGHT, WOULD
YOU LOOK AT THAT.
CAN WE GET A MAYDAY OFF?
EVERYTHING'S OUT.
BOBBY AND J.R. WERE
TAKING THE PLANE,
AND IT WENT DOWN
IN THE CATO SWAMP.
I'M NOT MONEY-HUNGRY
LIKE YOU ARE, SUE ELLEN.
YOU BRAT!
THAT'S RIGHT. I'M A EWING BRAT.
IF J.R. IS DEAD,
YOU'LL NEVER HAVE SOUTHFORK.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
I WAS AFRAID TO.
BOTH OF 'EM? WHY?
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
VERY NICE, DALY.
THANK YOU.
HOW DID YOU
SILK-SCREEN THAT FABRIC?
2 DAYS STRAIGHT AT
THE MILL EXPERIMENTING.
IT'S GORGEOUS.
PAM, LET ME HAVE
THOSE FIGURES AGAIN.
I WOULDN'T WANT TO OVER-ORDER.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
THAT'S 2 DRESSES... EACH SIZE...
AND ONE GOWN.
THIS TIME WE'LL TAKE 4
DRESSES AND 2 GOWNS...
HELLO.
Bobby: PAM, IT'S ME.
HI, DARLIN'.
OH, I KNOW I STOOD YOU UP
IN NEW ORLEANS LAST NIGHT.
I CALLED. DIDN'T YOU
GET THE MESSAGE?
WELL, YEAH, I GOT THE MESSAGE,
BUT IT WAS LATE LAST NIGHT.
HONEY, WE'VE BEEN
PLANNING THIS TRIP
FOR OVER 3 WEEKS.
I EVEN HAD A SURPRISE FOR YOU.
WE HAD THE SAME ROOM THAT
WE HAD ON OUR HONEYMOON.
ONLY SURPRISE WAS I SPENT
THE NIGHT THERE ALONE.
BOBBY, I'M SORRY.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
IT'S BEEN LIKE HERE.
I'M AS DISAPPOINTED AS YOU ARE.
YEAH, I'LL BET YOU ARE.
BOBBY, COME ON.
I MEAN, I'M NEW, AND I
HAVE TO TAKE ORDERS.
I CAN'T JUST COME
AND GO AS I PLEASE.
SOMETIMES IT'S GOING TO
INTERFERE WITH OUR LIVES.
WELL, IT'S BEEN DOING THAT
A LITTLE TOO MUCH LATELY
IN MY OPINION.
WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO SEE
MY OWN WIFE ONCE IN A WHILE?
I HAVE TO GIVE THEM THE
TIME THEY'RE PAYING ME FOR.
SWEETHEART, I
KNOW WHAT YOU MAKE,
AND THEY ARE NOT PAYING
FOR 24 HOURS OF EVERY DAY.
I'M IN A MEETING.
SO LET'S TALK ABOUT
THIS WHEN I GET HOME.
OH, THERE'S A BRIGHT
SPOT IN THE CONVERSATION.
YOU DO PLAN ON COMING HOME.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE IMPOSSIBLE.
I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT THEN.
AND WOULD YOU JUST
REMEMBER I LOVE YOU?
YEAH, I JUST HOPE YOU REMEMBER.
GOOD-BYE.
J.R.: I SWEAR I DON'T KNOW WHAT
COMES OVER YOU SOMETIMES.
I TOLD YOU I WANTED TO
BE IN ON THAT MEETING
WITH CHARLIE COX.
IT WAS EWING
CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, J.R.
NO NEED FOR YOU TO BE THERE.
[SIGHS] NO NEED?
EWING CONSTRUCTION IS
A SUBSIDIARY OF EWING OIL.
ANYTIME THERE'S
$1 MILLION AT STAKE,
THERE'S EVERY
REASON IN THE WORLD
FOR ME TO BE THERE.
MEANING, YOU DON'T
THINK I HANDLED IT RIGHT.
I THINK YOU BLEW IT,
THAT'S WHAT I THINK.
LOOK, I GAVE HIM A GOOD
BID ON THE PROJECT.
THE REST IS UP TO HIM.
WELL, YOU DON'T
KNOW CHARLIE COX.
IF YOU THINK HE'S GONNA
AGREE TO ANYTHING
WITHOUT A REMINDER ABOUT
THAT MORTGAGE WE HOLD
ON HIS PROPERTY
OVER IN FORT WORTH...
A REMINDER THAT I PLAN
ON ISSUING HIM PRETTY SOON.
YOU THINK THAT STRONG-ARMING
IS THE ONLY WAY TO DO BUSINESS,
DON'T YOU, J.R.?
WELL, WE'RE INTERESTED
IN GETTING THAT DEAL.
THAT'S ALL THAT COUNTS.
HOW YOU DOING, JOHN?
FINE, MR. EWING.
BUT THERE'S A BAD WEATHER FRONT
MOVING IN FAST FROM THE WEST.
IT MIGHT BE A PRETTY
ROUGH FLIGHT BACK.
PROBABLY OUGHT TO LAY
IN TILL IT BLOWS ITSELF OVER.
AH, WE'VE RIDDEN
THEM OUT BEFORE.
I DON'T KNOW. IF
IT'S BAD ENOUGH,
LET'S STAY HERE AN EXTRA NIGHT.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
WE'VE GOT AN APPOINTMENT
WITH BEN DEERING THIS AFTERNOON.
DADDY EXPECTS US TO BE THERE.
LET'S HEAD NORTH,
SKIN AROUND THE
EDGE OF THAT STORM.
AIRBORNE RIGHT NOW.
YES, SIR.
YOU NEVER LISTEN TO
ANYBODY, DO YOU, J.R.?
YOU HAVE TO RUN EVERYTHING.
YEAH. THAT'S MY JOB...
RUNNING THINGS, ISN'T IT?
WELL, RUN EWING OIL
AND KEEP YOUR NOSE
OUT OF MY CONSTRUCTION COMPANY.
BOBBY, YOU REALLY DON'T
KNOW HOW TO HANDLE
AN OLD BOY LIKE CHARLIE COX.
YOU REALLY DON'T.
I'M WELL AWARE
OF YOUR OPINION OF
MY CAPABILITIES, J.R.
YOU TAKE CARE OF EWING OIL,
AND I'LL TAKE CARE
OF MY BUSINESS.
OK. IF YOU HANDLE YOUR COMPANY
THE WAY YOU CONTROL YOUR WIFE,
EWING CONSTRUCTION'S
IN A LOT OF TROUBLE.
[ENGINE STARTS]
WELL, WHAT'S THE
VERDICT, YOU OLD QUACK?
CALLING ME NAMES
ISN'T GONNA CHANGE
THE PROGNOSIS. SIT DOWN.
I'D RATHER STAND.
SIT!
BEEN SITTING TOO MUCH.
STANDING IS A REAL PLEASURE.
SIT DOWN.
HARLEN, I'M A BUSY MAN.
I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.
HOW MUCH TIME YOU HAVE
IS PRETTY MUCH UP TO YOU.
MEANING WHAT?
THAT YOU'LL PROBABLY
LIVE A DAMN SIGHT LONGER
THAN YOU DESERVE TO.
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO REMEMBER
THAT YOU HAVE JUST COME THROUGH
A VERY SERIOUS HEART OPERATION.
YOU CAN'T DRIVE YOURSELF
THE WAY YOU USED TO.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES
TO RUN A BIG SPREAD LIKE THIS?
YOU'VE GOT A FOREMAN.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO
EVERYTHING YOURSELF.
I DON'T KNOW WHY IN THE
HELL I ASKED YOU OUT HERE.
[CHUCKLES] I DON'T KNOW EITHER.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE
ONLY HOUSE CALL I MAKE,
AND YOU SURE ARE NOT A
JOY TO HAVE AS A PATIENT.
NOW, YOU EITHER FOLLOW
MY PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
OR GET YOURSELF ANOTHER DOCTOR.
YOU KNOW, HARLEN?
I'LL THINK ABOUT THAT.
JOCK... GO EASY.
IF NOT FOR YOURSELF,
THEN FOR ELLIE.
ALL RIGHT. NEXT WEEK.
SAME DAY, SAME TIME.
UNLESS YOU DO PLAN
TO SWITCH DOCTORS.
[CHUCKLES]
NEXT WEEK. SAME
DAY, SAME TIME, OK?
SEE YOU.
[SIGHS]
[SIGHS]
WHAT DID HARLEN HAVE TO SAY?
OH, FINE, FINE. I'M
HEALTHY AS A HORSE.
HMM. IT WASN'T A HORSE
THAT HAD A BYPASS OPERATION.
NOW TELL ME WHAT HE SAID.
WELL, BY THE TIME HE GOT THROUGH
DANCING AROUND IN A CIRCLE
WITH THAT MEDICINE RATTLE,
HE TOLD ME I OUGHT
TO TAKE IT EASY.
WELL, HE'S RIGHT.
YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE
CARE OF YOURSELF, JOCK.
DON'T YOU THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME
THAT YOU QUIT WORRYING ABOUT ME?
TAKE A LOOK FOR YOURSELF.
YOUR OLD MAN'S GOOD AS NEW.
[GROANS] WHAT A MORNING.
MAY I NEVER HAVE
ANOTHER LIKE IT.
ARE THEY ALWAYS LIKE THIS?
ALWAYS.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO
A NICE, EXPENSIVE LUNCH
AND A SAUNA AND A MASSAGE...
AND A SHORT NAP BEFORE
DINNER WITH MORGAN?
I WAS JUST THINKING THAT
IF I GOT ON A PLANE NOW,
I COULD BE IN DALLAS
THIS AFTERNOON.
OH, YOU MISS HIM THAT MUCH, HUH?
NOW LISTEN,
JOSH MORGAN'S A
GOOD MAN TO KNOW.
HE HANDLES PUBLICITY FOR
THE ENTIRE STORE CHAIN.
DO YOU MIND IF I PASS?
NO, OF COURSE I DON'T MIND.
IF I HAD SOMEBODY AS CUTE
AS BOBBY WAITING FOR ME,
I'D SKIP OUT MYSELF.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
HELLO?
OH, HI, PAM. HOW'S THE BIG CITY?
OH, WHY ARE YOU STILL THERE?
OK. YEAH, I'LL TELL HIM.
RIGHT. WELL, HE AND J.R.
SHOULD BE BACK BY THEN.
OK. BYE-BYE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HOME, LUCY?
IT WAS ONLY A STUDY
PERIOD, GRANDDADDY,
AND I FIGURED I
COULD DO THAT HERE.
THAT WAS PAMELA ON THE PHONE.
SHE JUST SAID SHE WANTS BOBBY
TO COME PICK HER
UP AT THE AIRPORT.
2:30. FLIGHT 401.
I THOUGHT SHE WAS
GOING TO NEW ORLEANS
AND COME HOME WITH THE BOYS?
WELL, PEOPLE DO
CHANGE THEIR PLANS.
TIME WAS THIS WAS A
PRETTY ORDERLY HOUSEHOLD.
HALF THE TIME ANYMORE
I DON'T KNOW WHERE
IN THE HELL ANYBODY IS.
YOU JUST GOING TO SIT THERE
STARING OUT INTO
SPACE THE WHOLE TRIP?
NO USE SAYING ANYTHING.
YOU AND I CAN'T
TALK FOR 5 MINUTES
WITHOUT GETTING INTO
A FIGHT OVER SOMETHING.
YEAH, WE GOT TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.
LIKE WHAT?
HELL, LEARN TO
TRUST ONE ANOTHER,
SO YOU DON'T FEEL COMPELLED
TO RUN OFF TO
MEETINGS WITHOUT ME.
OR YOU WITHOUT ME.
[CHUCKLES] YES.
[THUNDER]
IT'S A LITTLE ROUGHER TRIP
THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE.
[BUZZER]
YES?
OH, SHOW HER IN.
SURPRISED?
TO SAY THE LEAST.
BUT NOT ANGRY.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
THAT DEPENDS ON WHY YOU CAME.
COME ON IN. THANK YOU.
HAVE A SEAT.
CAN I GET YOU A DRINK?
NO, THANK YOU.
SIT DOWN.
UH... I'VE COME TO
ASK YOU A FAVOR.
I KNOW THAT'S A
LITTLE RIDICULOUS
IN VIEW OF THE RECENT
UNPLEASANTNESS,
BUT THERE WAS NO
ONE ELSE I COULD GO TO.
NO ONE ELSE I COULD TRUST.
WELL, WHAT IS IT?
DO YOU REMEMBER THE OTHER DAY
RUNNING INTO ME WHILE I WAS
HAVING LUNCH WITH BUZZ CONNORS?
MM-HMM.
WELL, I WAS, UH...
SEEING HIM ABOUT, UH...
ADOPTING A BABY.
J.R. AGREED TO THAT?
WELL, THAT'S
EXACTLY IT. HE DIDN'T.
AND WHEN HE FOUND OUT
ABOUT IT, HE WAS FURIOUS.
HE GOT RID OF RITA BRIGGS.
THAT'S THE MOTHER.
HE SENT HER AWAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE.
HE DIDN'T TELL ME.
HE JUST SENT HER AWAY.
AND I THOUGHT YOU
MIGHT HELP ME FIND HER
AND HELP ME GO THROUGH
WITH THE ADOPTION,
IN SPITE OF J.R.
AS MUCH AS I WOULD
LIKE TO HELP UPSET
THE MIGHTY J.R.,
I'M AFRAID I CAN'T.
BUT I THOUGHT...
ETHICS HAVE
NOTHING TO DO WITH IT,
PRACTICALITIES HAVE.
EVEN IF I FOUND THE MOTHER,
THERE'S NO WAY THAT YOU COULD
ADOPT THAT BABY
WITHOUT J.R.'s CONSENT.
THERE'S GOT TO BE
SOME WAY YOU COULD...
THAT'S PRECISELY IT.
THERE ISN'T.
YOU CAN'T ADOPT A BABY
WITHOUT HIS CONSENT.
UNLESS YOU PLAN TO DIVORCE HIM.
YOU PLAN TO DO THAT?
NO.
I'M SORRY.
WELL, I WAS HOPING
THERE MIGHT BE A MIRACLE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO
TO CHEER YOU UP?
BUY LUNCH.
[THUNDER]
GOOD NIGHT, LOOK AT THAT.
[ELECTRICAL CRACKLE]
THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM'S GOING OUT.
WE'RE LOSING POWER.
CAN YOU GET A MAYDAY OFF?
EVERYTHING'S OUT.
THEY'RE PROBABLY
STILL TRACKING US
ON RADAR, THOUGH.
[ENGINE STRAINING]
[THUNDER, CRASH]
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HELLO?
I'M SORRY, BURT.
UH, JOCK'S RESTING.
I DON'T WANT TO BOTHER HIM.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
MISS ELLIE,
I JUST TALKED TO
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL.
OUR PLANE'S GONE OFF THEIR SCOPE
AROUND ABOUT CATO SWAMP.
[GASPS]
WHAT HAPPENED?
NOBODY KNOWS.
THEIR LAST CHECK-IN,
EVERYTHING WAS FINE,
BUT THERE'S A PRETTY BAD STORM
CUTTING ACROSS THAT
FLIGHT PLAN THEY FILED.
GET ALL THE DETAILS
YOU CAN, BURT.
CALL EARL McGRADY
AT THE DEPARTMENT
OF PUBLIC SAFETY.
TELL HIM I WANT A SEARCH STARTED
AS SOON AS HE CAN GET
THE HELICOPTERS OUT.
I'LL BE IN TOUCH
WITH BOTH OF YOU.
AND NO ONE IS TO CALL HERE.
NO ONE IS TO TELL JOCK ANYTHING.
YOU UNDERSTAND?
YES, MA'AM.
OH.
WHAT ABOUT JOCK?
DOES HE KNOW YET?
NO...
AND NO ONE'S GOING TO
TELL HIM ANYTHING UNTIL...
UNTIL WE REALLY
KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENED.
I DON'T KNOW, MA'AM.
IT COULD KILL HIM, RAY.
I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
WE'VE GOT TO HOPE
FOR THE BEST, LUCY.
WELL, I BETTER GET
GOING IF I'M GOING
TO MEET PAM'S PLANE
AT THE AIRPORT ON TIME.
IT'S GOING TO BE
AWFUL HARD ON HER.
BUT WHEN SHE WALKS
THROUGH THAT DOOR,
SHE'S GOING TO ACT
AS IF HE'S JUST A
LITTLE LATE FOR DINNER.
IF I'VE LOST J.R. AND BOBBY...
I'M NOT GOING TO LOSE JOCK, TOO.
YES, MA'AM.
WELL...
YOU WANT ME TO GO FIND
SUE ELLEN OR SOMETHING?
NO.
I GUESS I BETTER DO IT.
[SIGHS]
I DON'T KNOW WHERE
SHE'S GONE OFF TO TODAY.
LUCY... REMEMBER.
YOUR GRANDDADDY'S
NOT TO KNOW A THING.
I UNDERSTAND.
NO, I'VE HAD ENOUGH, THANK YOU.
OH, YOU SHOULD
HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE.
[SOFT PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
IT PUTS YOU IN A
REALLY CHEERFUL MOOD.
[LAUGHS]
WELL, I'M ALMOST
AS CHEERFUL AS I...
AS I CARE TO BE.
SEE WHAT WONDERS
CAN BE PERFORMED?
A BEAUTIFUL, MOST UNHAPPY LADY
WALKS INTO MY OFFICE,
AND JUST A FEW HOURS LATER,
SHE'S BEAUTIFUL AND LAUGHING.
THE CHANGE IS ONLY TEMPORARY,
I CAN ASSURE YOU.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
FOR THE REST OF THE DAY?
BE A SHAME TO LET
SUCH A GOOD MOOD
GET AWAY TOO QUICKLY.
WELL, UM...
J.R.'s EXPECTED BACK
FROM NEW ORLEANS...
ANYTIME NOW.
PLANES ARE LATE.
YOU SHOULD CALL HIM.
WAITER?
Ray: REMEMBER, PAM,
JOCK DOESN'T KNOW.
YOU GOT TO GET
AHOLD OF YOURSELF.
MISS ELLIE WANTS
YOU AND SUE ELLEN
AND EVERYBODY TO ACT
LIKE NOTHING'S WRONG.
[STARTS ENGINE]
MISS ELLIE'S BEEN
CALLING ALL OVER TOWN.
SHE WANTS ME HOME RIGHT AWAY.
WHAT'S WRONG?
SHE DIDN'T SAY.
WELL, YOU DON'T
HAVE TO GO RUNNING
JUST BECAUSE MISS
ELLIE WANTS YOU TO.
HEH. WHEN ELLIE
EWING SAYS RIGHT AWAY,
SHE DOESN'T MEAN SOMETIME SOON.
SHE MEANS RIGHT AWAY.
WE'LL HAVE OUR AFTERNOON...
SOME OTHER TIME.
[FOOTSTEPS RECEDING]
RAY TOLD ME.
NOW GO UPSTAIRS
AND WASH YOUR EYES
BEFORE JOCK SEES
YOU'VE BEEN CRYING.
I'M GOING TO CALL AND
SEE IF THERE'S ANY NEWS.
COME BACK DOWN
AS SOON AS YOU CAN.
BURT. IT'S ELLIE EWING.
ANY MORE NEWS?
NOTHING, MA'AM.
I JUST TALKED TO EARL.
HE'S GOT AS MANY CHOPPERS
AND LIGHT CRAFT
UP AS HE CAN SPARE,
BUT THAT STORM'S
MAKING IT MIGHTY ROUGH.
THANKS, BURT.
I'LL CALL EARL MYSELF.
I... I THINK I'D LIKE
TO TALK TO HIM.
OH. WHERE'S MISS ELLIE?
SUE ELLEN, COULD YOU
COME HERE, PLEASE?
I... I DON'T WANT
JOCK TO HEAR US.
WHAT... WHAT IS IT, PAMELA?
WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND HERE?
WELL, I WANT TO TELL YOU...
I CALLED MISS ELLIE
FROM THE RESTAURANT.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON!
JUST TELL ME, WILL YOU?
PAMELA, ARE YOU TRYING
TO HIDE SOMETHING?
SUE ELLEN!
THERE WAS A STORM.
BOBBY AND J.R. WERE
TAKING THE PLANE,
AND IT WENT DOWN
IN THE CATO SWAMP.
OH, SUE ELLEN...
I AM ALL RIGHT, PAMELA.
MISS ELLIE DOESN'T WANT JOCK
TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.
WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?
A LITTLE WHILE AGO.
THERE'S A SEARCH
PARTY OUT ALREADY,
AND THEY WERE TRACKING
THE PLANE WITH RADAR,
SO THEY ALMOST KNOW WHERE IT IS.
THERE'S NOT A SIGN OF THEM.
NOT A SIGN.
THEY KNOW.
THEY KNOW WHERE
THE PLANE WENT DOWN.
PAM SAID SO.
I JUST TALKED TO EARL McGRADY.
HIS BOYS CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.
IT'S THE STORM.
IT'S SO BAD...
THEY CAN'T DO
ANYTHING UNTIL IT'S OVER.
WELL, THEY'VE GOT
TO KEEP ON SEARCHING.
THEY CAN'T STOP NOW.
I CAN'T BEAR IT IF I
LOSE... BOTH OF THEM.
Lucy: SUKI AND JANE
ARE GOING TO GO
TO NEW YORK FOR A
WEEK IN THE SPRING,
AND I THOUGHT MAYBE I MIGHT GO.
WHAT'S NEW YORK
LIKE THESE DAYS, PAM?
I HAVEN'T BEEN THERE IN YEARS.
OUR TENTH WEDDING
ANNIVERSARY, JOCK.
REMEMBER?
I SURE DO.
WELL, TO TELL YOU
THE TRUTH, MISS ELLIE,
I SPENT MOST OF MY
TIME IN THE HOTEL SUITE
LOOKING AT COLLECTIONS WITH LIZ.
HARDLY SAW ANYTHING OF THE CITY.
YOU KNOW, PAM, UM...
I THINK YOU'D DO BETTER
TRAVELING WITH BOBBY
INSTEAD OF LIZ CRAIG.
SEEMS TO ME YOU'D
HAVE A MUCH BETTER TIME.
WELL, I DIDN'T HAVE A BAD TIME.
I'M REALLY ENJOYING MY WORK.
DID YOU AND BOBBY HAVE A FIGHT?
NOW, JOCK, YOU KNOW
THAT'S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS.
TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
BOBBY AND I DID
HAVE A DISAGREEMENT.
HE WAS MAD BECAUSE
I DIDN'T MEET HIM
IN NEW ORLEANS.
WELL, NOW.
I KNEW SOMETHING WAS
GOING ON AROUND HERE,
BUT THAT'S NO EXCUSE
FOR BOBBY GETTING HUFFY
AND STAYING OVER IN NEW ORLEANS.
HE HAD A MEETING WITH BEN
DEERING THIS AFTERNOON.
WHAT I CAN'T FIGURE IS
HOW HE TALKED J.R.
OUT OF COMING BACK.
BOBBY WOULDN'T MISS A MEETING
BECAUSE OF A FIGHT WITH ME.
UH... I MEAN...
UH, THERE'S BEEN A BAD
STORM AROUND NEW ORLEANS.
THEY... THEY PROBABLY
JUST DECIDED TO WAIT
UNTIL IT BLOWS OVER.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WITHOUT CALLING?
WELL, THEY'RE HAVING A PROBLEM
WITH THE PHONES TO NEW ORLEANS.
WE'VE BEEN TRYING.
WE... WE COULDN'T GET THROUGH.
OH? WELL... I'VE GOT WORK TO DO.
PAPERWORK, MISS ELLIE.
AND WHEN THOSE BOYS GET BACK,
YOU TELL THEM I WANT TO SEE 'EM.
BOTH OF 'EM.
THANK YOU.
YES. I'D LIKE TO PLACE
A PERSON-TO-PERSON PHONE CALL
TO AREA CODE 702... 389-6212,
AND I'LL SPEAK TO THE MAN
IN CHARGE OF THE CASINO.
HELLO. MY NAME IS LUCY EWING,
AND I'M TRYING TO LOCATE
MY FATHER GARY EWING.
HE USED TO BE A DEALER THERE.
OH, I KNOW,
BUT I JUST THOUGHT
MAYBE YOU COULD TELL ME
WHERE HE'S WORKING
NOW, AND, UH...
YES. GARY EWING. THAT'S RIGHT...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WAIT UNTIL WE KNOW
THEY'RE DEAD AT LEAST.
HE HAS A RIGHT TO BE
HERE. THEY'RE HIS BROTHERS.
JOCK WILL CALL HIM
IF AND WHEN HE EVER NEEDS HIM.
HE SHOULD BE HERE.
READY TO TAKE OVER?
NO, I DIDN'T MEAN THAT.
AS HARD AS IT MAY BE
FOR YOU TO BELIEVE,
I'M NOT MONEY-HUNGRY
LIKE YOU ARE, SUE ELLEN.
YOU BRAT!
THAT'S RIGHT. I'M A EWING BRAT.
A BORN EWING.
I BET YOU'RE REAL SORRY
THAT YOU DON'T HAVE
A LITTLE BRAT OF
YOUR OWN, LIKE ME,
'CAUSE IF J.R. IS DEAD,
WITHOUT A CHILD, YOU'LL
NEVER HAVE SOUTHFORK.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
[RING]
HELLO?
MRS. EWING?
YES?
KEN JACKSON, DALLAS PRESS.
WE JUST HEARD THAT
THE EWING COMPANY PLANE
CARRYING YOUR 2
SONS J.R. AND ROBERT
HAS BEEN REPORTED MISSING.
DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENT?
NONE WHATSOEVER.
WELL, UH, IS THERE ANY
TRUTH TO THE REPORT?
ARE THEY MISSING?
I JUST SAID NO COMMENT.
I DON'T CARE TO REPEAT MYSELF.
[DIALING PHONE]
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HELLO?
RAY?
MISS ELLIE.
A REPORTER JUST CALLED.
I WOULDN'T TALK TO HIM,
BUT I'LL BET THERE'LL
BE MORE OF 'EM
AND SOME TRYING TO GET
UP HERE TO THE HOUSE.
I WANT YOU TO TELL THE HANDS
TO CLOSE OFF ALL THE
ROADS ON THE PROPERTY
AND KEEP A GOOD EYE
OUT FOR ANY TRESPASSERS.
AND IF I SEE ANYBODY OUT THERE?
I WANT THEM TAKEN
OFF EWING LAND.
YES, MA'AM.
GOOD CIGAR?
[CHUCKLES] YEAH, IT SURE IS.
ALL YOUR FAULT, THOUGH.
YOU KEEP THAT HUMIDOR FILLED.
HABIT. OBVIOUSLY, A BAD ONE.
I COULD USE A TOUCH
OF BRANDY WITH IT, TOO.
NO BRANDY.
AND THAT'S ALL OF THAT
CIGAR YOU'RE HAVING.
YOU'RE A HARD LADY, MISS ELLIE.
WELL, SOMEBODY AROUND HERE
HAS TO HAVE SOME DISCIPLINE.
AND YOU'RE GONNA FOLLOW
THE DOCTOR'S ORDERS
IF IT KILLS YOU.
I, UH, THOUGHT THAT
THAT'S WHAT WE WERE
TRYING TO AVOID.
BAD CHOICE OF WORDS.
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO GET
YOUR STRENGTH BACK.
I REALLY WOULDN'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO WITHOUT YOU.
AH.
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.
I WANT 2 MEN ON EACH OF
THE MAIN ACCESS ROADS
TO THE RANCH.
GET SOME SAWHORSES
AND SET UP BLOCKADES.
ONE MAN STANDS
GUARD AT ALL TIMES.
ABOUT A HALF DOZEN
4-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES
AROUND HERE.
USE 'EM TO RIDE FENCE.
I WANT NO REPORTERS
ON EWING LAND
TILL MISS ELLIE SAYS SO.
THERE'S AN AWFUL
LOT OF OPEN COUNTRY
OUT THERE, RAY.
YEAH, IT'S ALL FENCED.
THAT MEANS ANYBODY
YOU FIND THIS SIDE
OF THE FENCE IS TRESPASSING.
WHAT IF WE FIND SOMEBODY?
WE GOIN' ARMED?
NO GUNS, YOU HEAR?
YOU FIND SOMEBODY OUT THERE
WHO'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE,
YOU HUSTLE HIM OFF.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
IS KEEP EVERYONE AWAY
FROM THE MAIN HOUSE,
AND GET RID OF 'EM FAST.
DON'T YOU THINK YOU'VE
HAD PLENTY OF THAT?
WHAT IS PLENTY? HMM?
CHANGES FROM PERSON
TO PERSON, YOU KNOW.
WELL, FOR ME...
PLENTY MIGHT BE ENOUGH TO, UM,
PUT ME TO SLEEP.
THAT'S IT.
THAT MIGHT BE PLENTY.
COME ON, SUE ELLEN.
LET ME HELP YOU UPSTAIRS.
UH-UH.
[SIGHS]
I LOVE J.R.
THAT'S WHY I MARRIED HIM.
WHY DOESN'T ANYBODY
UNDERSTAND THAT?
I HAVE TRIED
EVERYTHING I KNOW HOW
TO GET HIM TO LOVE ME.
DON'T MAKE IT
WORSE FOR YOURSELF.
I WAS JUST SITTING HERE,
COUNTING MY BLESSINGS.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
THEY ALL ADD UP TO J.R.
THE COUNTRY CLUBS,
THE COMMITTEES,
THE INVITATIONS,
IT IS ALL BECAUSE I
AM MRS. J.R. EWING.
SUE ELLEN, THAT
JUST IS NOT TRUE.
I HAD LUNCH WITH A MAN TODAY.
HE THOUGHT I WAS
VERY ATTRACTIVE.
STILL, MAYBE IT'S ONLY
BECAUSE I'M MRS. EWING.
MRS. J.R. EWING.
EVERYTHING IS BECAUSE
I AM MRS. J.R. EWING.
EVERYTHING, INCLUDING THAT?
COME ON, YOU NEED SOME REST.
AT LEAST LET ME
HELP YOU UPSTAIRS.
DON'T YOU LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT.
HOW'S IT GONNA FEEL FOR YOU
TO BE PLAIN OL' MISS
BARNES AGAIN, HMM?
AND DON'T YOU TALK LIKE THAT.
NOW THEY'RE BOTH
COMING BACK HOME.
YOU DON'T LIKE
THAT IDEA, DO YOU?
[CHUCKLES] YOU PRETEND SO WELL.
YOU KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT
YOU WERE JUST A
GOLD DIGGER ANYWAY.
IS THAT ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT?
I MEAN, EVEN NOW?
THE EWING MONEY?
GOOD-BYE.
GOOD-BYE, EVERYTHING.
OH, STOP IT, SUE ELLEN.
I'M NOT GONNA LISTEN TO
YOUR DISGUSTING SELF-PITY
ABOUT YOUR FINANCES.
HOW DARE YOU TALK
TO ME LIKE THAT?
[CHUCKLES]
HOW MANY MEN PAID YOUR BILLS
BEFORE YOU FOUND
BOBBY TO PICK UP THE TAB?
NOBODY EVER PAID MY BILLS!
I WORKED IN A JOB,
JUST THE WAY I'M DOING NOW!
WHAT DID YOU EVER DO?!
DO YOU KNOW WHAT
HAPPENS IF J.R. IS DEAD?
I LOSE EVERYTHING.
I DON'T EVEN HAVE A CHILD.
AND I WANTED ONE SO BAD.
[SOBBING]
[VEHICLE APPROACHING]
[CAR DOOR CLOSES]
[DOOR OPENS]
I, UH, DIDN'T WANNA RING.
I JUST GOT JOCK OFF TO SLEEP.
NO WORD YET, HUH?
NO.
I TALKED TO McGRADY.
THE STORM'S OVER.
THEY'RE SENDING OUT MORE PLANES.
HOW ARE THINGS OUTSIDE?
I RAN OFF A BUNCH OF REPORTERS,
TV PEOPLE, AT THE MAIN GATE.
THEY MANAGED TO INTERVIEW
A COUPLE OF HANDS.
I DON'T THINK THEY GOT ANYTHING,
THOUGH, MA'AM.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
WHO'S THAT THIS TIME OF NIGHT?
MRS. EWING?
WHO ARE YOU?
KEN JACKSON. I'M WITH THE PRESS.
I CALLED EARLIER.
YOU'RE TRESPASSING, MISTER.
I'LL TAKE CARE, OF THIS, RAY.
HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?
HOW DID YOU GET ON
THE RANCH, MR. JACKSON?
WELL, I DID AN
ARTICLE ON THE PLACE
A COUPLE YEARS BACK,
AND I REMEMBERED AN ARROYO
THAT, UH, LED INTO THE FEED LOT.
WELL, WE'LL HAVE TO
TAKE CARE OF THAT.
NOW, EXACTLY WHAT
DO YOU WANT WITH ME,
MR. JACKSON?
WELL, UH, YOU KNOW,
MAYBE A STATEMENT.
YOU KNOW, JUST A FEW WORDS.
YOU HEAR A RUMOR
THAT A PLANE IS DOWN,
MY 2 BOYS MISSING,
AND WITH NO RESPECT
FOR HUMAN FEELING
OR PRIVATE GRIEF,
YOU COME CIRCLING
AROUND HERE LIKE A VULTURE.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT
WE DO TO VULTURES
OUT HERE, MR. JACKSON?
RAY, GET ME THE SHOTGUN
OUT OF THE HALL CLOSET.
YES, MA'AM.
NOW, MRS. EWING,
I'M JUST... I'M JUST
DOING MY JOB.
THEN FIND A BETTER JOB
OR A BETTER WAY
OF DOING THIS ONE.
NOW, MR. JACKSON,
ANYBODY ON MY LAND
WITHOUT INVITATION
IS A TRESPASSER.
SO UNLESS I SEE YOUR TAIL
HEADING OUT OF HERE
RIGHT NOW, AND FAST,
I'M GONNA BLOW IT OFF.
YES, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM.
NOW GET OUT OF HERE.
GET OUT!
I'LL GET A COUPLE MEN
DOWN THAT ARROYO, MA'AM.
JUST IN CASE ANY
MORE OF THESE CREEPS
COME SNOOPING AROUND HERE.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
WHY, MISS ELLIE?
YOU HEARD.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
I WAS AFRAID TO.
OF WHAT IT WOULD DO TO YOU.
WHEN ARE YOU GONNA
UNDERSTAND, WOMAN?
WHEN?
THAT I'M ALL RIGHT?
DAMN IT, ELLIE. BOTH OF 'EM.
WHY?!
IT'S NOT CERTAIN, JOCK.
THERE'S STILL A
CHANCE. A SEARCH IS ON.
Jock: I'VE ALREADY
NOTIFIED EARL McGRADY
THAT YOU'D BE
JOINING THE SEARCH.
NOW, YOU WON'T BE
ABLE TO SEE MUCH
BEFORE DAYLIGHT.
Ray: YES, SIR.
EVIDENTLY, THE HOMING
BEACON'S NOT ON,
MEANING IT'S OUT OR LOST,
OR JOHNNY'S HURT TOO
BAD TO SET IT IN OPERATION.
THERE'S ONE MORE SIGNAL
THAT I WANT YOU TO LOOK OUT FOR.
I USED TO SPEND A LOT
OF TIME WITH J.R. FISHING,
HUNTING, WHEN HE WAS A KID.
ONCE THING THAT
I DRILLED INTO HIM
WAS HOW TO SIGNAL FOR HELP
IF HE WAS EVER OUT
ALONE, LOST OR HURT.
3 OF ANYTHING, RAY.
3.
SHOTS, FIRES, MIRROR FLASHES.
THAT'S WHAT I WANT
YOU TO WATCH OUT FOR.
I'LL KEEP MY EYES OPEN.
ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?
YES.
NO MATTER HOW IT TURNS OUT...
DEAD OR ALIVE,
BRING MY BOYS HOME.
I WILL, JOCK.
THANK YOU, RAY.
[SIGHS]
ANY NEWS?
[SIGHS] NO.
JOCK FOUND OUT.
IS HE ALL RIGHT?
I THINK SO.
HE SENT RAY TO JOIN THE SEARCH.
I'M SCARED, PAM.
I'VE NEVER BEEN SO
FRIGHTENED IN MY LIFE.
EVEN WHEN JOCK WAS IN THE WAR,
I DIDN'T FEEL THIS SCARED.
I GUESS IT'S BECAUSE
WE WERE BOTH SO
YOUNG THEN, AND...
SOMEHOW YOU THINK
YOU JUST CAN'T DIE.
BUT NOW...
WHOA. DON'T, MISS ELLIE.
DON'T EVEN THINK THAT.
THOSE BOYS OF MINE.
YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THEM
WHEN THEY WERE BABIES.
J.R. WAS SO QUIET, SO SHY.
WHEN I TOOK HIM SHOPPING,
HE HELD ON TO MY SKIRT SO TIGHT.
I THINK JOCK
SCARED HIM AT FIRST.
AND THEN WHEN GARY CAME ALONG,
JOCK JUST TOOK OVER RAISING J.R.
MAKE HIM A MAN'S MAN, HE SAID.
I GUESS THAT'S WHY
I FUSSED OVER GARY SO MUCH,
BECAUSE... BECAUSE JOCK HAD J.R.
AND GARY... GARY WAS
A LOT LIKE MY DADDY.
ALWAYS IN TROUBLE WITH JOCK.
AND BOBBY...
WE ALL SPOILED HIM.
BOBBY WAS GIVEN EVERYTHING
THAT J.R. HAD TO FIGHT FOR
AND GARY DIDN'T CARE ABOUT.
AND I HAD TO WATCH
THEM, LOVE THEM,
IN SPITE OF EVERYTHING.
AND I DO.
IN SPITE OF EVERYTHING.
OH, LISTEN TO ME.
I WANTED TO CHEER
YOU UP A LITTLE BIT.
I'VE JUST GONE
AND MADE IT WORSE.
NO, YOU HAVEN'T.
YOU HAVEN'T AT ALL.
I HAVEN'T GIVEN UP HOPING YET.
AND DON'T YOU, EITHER.
NOW, YOU SHOULD GET SOME SLEEP.
[HELICOPTER]
[HORSE WHINNIES]
GOOD MORNING, GRANDDADDY.
LUCY.
MADE YOU SOME BREAKFAST.
WHAT MAKES YOU SO
AMBITIOUS THIS MORNING?
OH, I JUST FELT LIKE COOKING.
I MADE EGGS JUST
THE WAY YOU LIKE 'EM.
WELL, IT SURE LOOKS LIKE
ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY.
MAYBE WE COULD DO SOME... LUCY.
I KNOW ABOUT J.R. AND BOBBY.
I'M SORRY, GRANDDADDY.
GRANDDADDY?
YEAH?
DON'T YOU THINK
MY... MY DADDY SHOULD BE HERE?
HAVE YOU BEEN
TALKING TO YOUR DADDY?
NO.
HE HAD HIS CHANCE,
LUCY, AND WALKED AWAY.
BUT HE'S STILL YOUR SON.
EAT YOUR BREAKFAST.
THEY'RE HIS BROTHERS.
I DON'T WANNA HEAR
ANY MORE ABOUT IT, LUCY.
[SIGHS]
[FROGS CROAKING,
FLAMES CRACKLING]
J.R.: BOBBY?
[HELICOPTER APPROACHING]
DO YOU HEAR THAT?
Bobby: IT'S A CHOPPER.
J.R., IT'S A HELICOPTER.
YEAH. [CHUCKLING]
WHAT'D I TELL YOU, BOY?
LOOK, THERE IT
IS! HEY, OVER HERE!
J.R.: COME ON!
YAHOO!
[J.R. AND BOBBY LAUGHING]
J.R.: I TOLD YOU, DIDN'T I?
GR-54 TO GROUND CONTROL.
COME IN, GROUND CONTROL.
YEAH?
WHERE?
HE DID?
THANK GOD.
BRING 'EM HOME, RAY.
AND THANK YOU.
[DOG BARKING]
[SIGHS]
I REMEMBERED, DAD.
YOU SURE DID, SON.
I'M PROUD OF YA. BOTH OF YA.
IT'S SO GOOD TO
SEE THEM LIKE THAT.
MAYBE NOW WE CAN
BE A REAL FAMILY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU MEAN, MISS ELLIE.
WE ARE A REAL FAMILY.
WE'RE ALL EWINGS. EXCUSE ME.
J.R. MIGHT NEED ME.
SHE WISHES.
NOW, THAT'S ENOUGH, LUCY.
SORRY, GRANDMA.
ARE YOU COMING, HONEY?
OH. RIGHT NOW.
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE.
WHAT'S GOING ON, JOHN?
GOOD NIGHT, WOULD
YOU LOOK AT THAT.
CAN WE GET A MAYDAY OFF?
EVERYTHING'S OUT.
BOBBY AND J.R. WERE
TAKING THE PLANE,
AND IT WENT DOWN
IN THE CATO SWAMP.
I'M NOT MONEY-HUNGRY
LIKE YOU ARE, SUE ELLEN.
YOU BRAT!
THAT'S RIGHT. I'M A EWING BRAT.
IF J.R. IS DEAD,
YOU'LL NEVER HAVE SOUTHFORK.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
I WAS AFRAID TO.
BOTH OF 'EM? WHY?
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
VERY NICE, DALY.
THANK YOU.
HOW DID YOU
SILK-SCREEN THAT FABRIC?
2 DAYS STRAIGHT AT
THE MILL EXPERIMENTING.
IT'S GORGEOUS.
PAM, LET ME HAVE
THOSE FIGURES AGAIN.
I WOULDN'T WANT TO OVER-ORDER.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
THAT'S 2 DRESSES... EACH SIZE...
AND ONE GOWN.
THIS TIME WE'LL TAKE 4
DRESSES AND 2 GOWNS...
HELLO.
Bobby: PAM, IT'S ME.
HI, DARLIN'.
OH, I KNOW I STOOD YOU UP
IN NEW ORLEANS LAST NIGHT.
I CALLED. DIDN'T YOU
GET THE MESSAGE?
WELL, YEAH, I GOT THE MESSAGE,
BUT IT WAS LATE LAST NIGHT.
HONEY, WE'VE BEEN
PLANNING THIS TRIP
FOR OVER 3 WEEKS.
I EVEN HAD A SURPRISE FOR YOU.
WE HAD THE SAME ROOM THAT
WE HAD ON OUR HONEYMOON.
ONLY SURPRISE WAS I SPENT
THE NIGHT THERE ALONE.
BOBBY, I'M SORRY.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
IT'S BEEN LIKE HERE.
I'M AS DISAPPOINTED AS YOU ARE.
YEAH, I'LL BET YOU ARE.
BOBBY, COME ON.
I MEAN, I'M NEW, AND I
HAVE TO TAKE ORDERS.
I CAN'T JUST COME
AND GO AS I PLEASE.
SOMETIMES IT'S GOING TO
INTERFERE WITH OUR LIVES.
WELL, IT'S BEEN DOING THAT
A LITTLE TOO MUCH LATELY
IN MY OPINION.
WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO SEE
MY OWN WIFE ONCE IN A WHILE?
I HAVE TO GIVE THEM THE
TIME THEY'RE PAYING ME FOR.
SWEETHEART, I
KNOW WHAT YOU MAKE,
AND THEY ARE NOT PAYING
FOR 24 HOURS OF EVERY DAY.
I'M IN A MEETING.
SO LET'S TALK ABOUT
THIS WHEN I GET HOME.
OH, THERE'S A BRIGHT
SPOT IN THE CONVERSATION.
YOU DO PLAN ON COMING HOME.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE IMPOSSIBLE.
I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT THEN.
AND WOULD YOU JUST
REMEMBER I LOVE YOU?
YEAH, I JUST HOPE YOU REMEMBER.
GOOD-BYE.
J.R.: I SWEAR I DON'T KNOW WHAT
COMES OVER YOU SOMETIMES.
I TOLD YOU I WANTED TO
BE IN ON THAT MEETING
WITH CHARLIE COX.
IT WAS EWING
CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, J.R.
NO NEED FOR YOU TO BE THERE.
[SIGHS] NO NEED?
EWING CONSTRUCTION IS
A SUBSIDIARY OF EWING OIL.
ANYTIME THERE'S
$1 MILLION AT STAKE,
THERE'S EVERY
REASON IN THE WORLD
FOR ME TO BE THERE.
MEANING, YOU DON'T
THINK I HANDLED IT RIGHT.
I THINK YOU BLEW IT,
THAT'S WHAT I THINK.
LOOK, I GAVE HIM A GOOD
BID ON THE PROJECT.
THE REST IS UP TO HIM.
WELL, YOU DON'T
KNOW CHARLIE COX.
IF YOU THINK HE'S GONNA
AGREE TO ANYTHING
WITHOUT A REMINDER ABOUT
THAT MORTGAGE WE HOLD
ON HIS PROPERTY
OVER IN FORT WORTH...
A REMINDER THAT I PLAN
ON ISSUING HIM PRETTY SOON.
YOU THINK THAT STRONG-ARMING
IS THE ONLY WAY TO DO BUSINESS,
DON'T YOU, J.R.?
WELL, WE'RE INTERESTED
IN GETTING THAT DEAL.
THAT'S ALL THAT COUNTS.
HOW YOU DOING, JOHN?
FINE, MR. EWING.
BUT THERE'S A BAD WEATHER FRONT
MOVING IN FAST FROM THE WEST.
IT MIGHT BE A PRETTY
ROUGH FLIGHT BACK.
PROBABLY OUGHT TO LAY
IN TILL IT BLOWS ITSELF OVER.
AH, WE'VE RIDDEN
THEM OUT BEFORE.
I DON'T KNOW. IF
IT'S BAD ENOUGH,
LET'S STAY HERE AN EXTRA NIGHT.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
WE'VE GOT AN APPOINTMENT
WITH BEN DEERING THIS AFTERNOON.
DADDY EXPECTS US TO BE THERE.
LET'S HEAD NORTH,
SKIN AROUND THE
EDGE OF THAT STORM.
AIRBORNE RIGHT NOW.
YES, SIR.
YOU NEVER LISTEN TO
ANYBODY, DO YOU, J.R.?
YOU HAVE TO RUN EVERYTHING.
YEAH. THAT'S MY JOB...
RUNNING THINGS, ISN'T IT?
WELL, RUN EWING OIL
AND KEEP YOUR NOSE
OUT OF MY CONSTRUCTION COMPANY.
BOBBY, YOU REALLY DON'T
KNOW HOW TO HANDLE
AN OLD BOY LIKE CHARLIE COX.
YOU REALLY DON'T.
I'M WELL AWARE
OF YOUR OPINION OF
MY CAPABILITIES, J.R.
YOU TAKE CARE OF EWING OIL,
AND I'LL TAKE CARE
OF MY BUSINESS.
OK. IF YOU HANDLE YOUR COMPANY
THE WAY YOU CONTROL YOUR WIFE,
EWING CONSTRUCTION'S
IN A LOT OF TROUBLE.
[ENGINE STARTS]
WELL, WHAT'S THE
VERDICT, YOU OLD QUACK?
CALLING ME NAMES
ISN'T GONNA CHANGE
THE PROGNOSIS. SIT DOWN.
I'D RATHER STAND.
SIT!
BEEN SITTING TOO MUCH.
STANDING IS A REAL PLEASURE.
SIT DOWN.
HARLEN, I'M A BUSY MAN.
I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.
HOW MUCH TIME YOU HAVE
IS PRETTY MUCH UP TO YOU.
MEANING WHAT?
THAT YOU'LL PROBABLY
LIVE A DAMN SIGHT LONGER
THAN YOU DESERVE TO.
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO REMEMBER
THAT YOU HAVE JUST COME THROUGH
A VERY SERIOUS HEART OPERATION.
YOU CAN'T DRIVE YOURSELF
THE WAY YOU USED TO.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES
TO RUN A BIG SPREAD LIKE THIS?
YOU'VE GOT A FOREMAN.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO
EVERYTHING YOURSELF.
I DON'T KNOW WHY IN THE
HELL I ASKED YOU OUT HERE.
[CHUCKLES] I DON'T KNOW EITHER.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE
ONLY HOUSE CALL I MAKE,
AND YOU SURE ARE NOT A
JOY TO HAVE AS A PATIENT.
NOW, YOU EITHER FOLLOW
MY PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
OR GET YOURSELF ANOTHER DOCTOR.
YOU KNOW, HARLEN?
I'LL THINK ABOUT THAT.
JOCK... GO EASY.
IF NOT FOR YOURSELF,
THEN FOR ELLIE.
ALL RIGHT. NEXT WEEK.
SAME DAY, SAME TIME.
UNLESS YOU DO PLAN
TO SWITCH DOCTORS.
[CHUCKLES]
NEXT WEEK. SAME
DAY, SAME TIME, OK?
SEE YOU.
[SIGHS]
[SIGHS]
WHAT DID HARLEN HAVE TO SAY?
OH, FINE, FINE. I'M
HEALTHY AS A HORSE.
HMM. IT WASN'T A HORSE
THAT HAD A BYPASS OPERATION.
NOW TELL ME WHAT HE SAID.
WELL, BY THE TIME HE GOT THROUGH
DANCING AROUND IN A CIRCLE
WITH THAT MEDICINE RATTLE,
HE TOLD ME I OUGHT
TO TAKE IT EASY.
WELL, HE'S RIGHT.
YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE
CARE OF YOURSELF, JOCK.
DON'T YOU THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME
THAT YOU QUIT WORRYING ABOUT ME?
TAKE A LOOK FOR YOURSELF.
YOUR OLD MAN'S GOOD AS NEW.
[GROANS] WHAT A MORNING.
MAY I NEVER HAVE
ANOTHER LIKE IT.
ARE THEY ALWAYS LIKE THIS?
ALWAYS.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO
A NICE, EXPENSIVE LUNCH
AND A SAUNA AND A MASSAGE...
AND A SHORT NAP BEFORE
DINNER WITH MORGAN?
I WAS JUST THINKING THAT
IF I GOT ON A PLANE NOW,
I COULD BE IN DALLAS
THIS AFTERNOON.
OH, YOU MISS HIM THAT MUCH, HUH?
NOW LISTEN,
JOSH MORGAN'S A
GOOD MAN TO KNOW.
HE HANDLES PUBLICITY FOR
THE ENTIRE STORE CHAIN.
DO YOU MIND IF I PASS?
NO, OF COURSE I DON'T MIND.
IF I HAD SOMEBODY AS CUTE
AS BOBBY WAITING FOR ME,
I'D SKIP OUT MYSELF.
♪♪
♪♪♪
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
HELLO?
OH, HI, PAM. HOW'S THE BIG CITY?
OH, WHY ARE YOU STILL THERE?
OK. YEAH, I'LL TELL HIM.
RIGHT. WELL, HE AND J.R.
SHOULD BE BACK BY THEN.
OK. BYE-BYE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HOME, LUCY?
IT WAS ONLY A STUDY
PERIOD, GRANDDADDY,
AND I FIGURED I
COULD DO THAT HERE.
THAT WAS PAMELA ON THE PHONE.
SHE JUST SAID SHE WANTS BOBBY
TO COME PICK HER
UP AT THE AIRPORT.
2:30. FLIGHT 401.
I THOUGHT SHE WAS
GOING TO NEW ORLEANS
AND COME HOME WITH THE BOYS?
WELL, PEOPLE DO
CHANGE THEIR PLANS.
TIME WAS THIS WAS A
PRETTY ORDERLY HOUSEHOLD.
HALF THE TIME ANYMORE
I DON'T KNOW WHERE
IN THE HELL ANYBODY IS.
YOU JUST GOING TO SIT THERE
STARING OUT INTO
SPACE THE WHOLE TRIP?
NO USE SAYING ANYTHING.
YOU AND I CAN'T
TALK FOR 5 MINUTES
WITHOUT GETTING INTO
A FIGHT OVER SOMETHING.
YEAH, WE GOT TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.
LIKE WHAT?
HELL, LEARN TO
TRUST ONE ANOTHER,
SO YOU DON'T FEEL COMPELLED
TO RUN OFF TO
MEETINGS WITHOUT ME.
OR YOU WITHOUT ME.
[CHUCKLES] YES.
[THUNDER]
IT'S A LITTLE ROUGHER TRIP
THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE.
[BUZZER]
YES?
OH, SHOW HER IN.
SURPRISED?
TO SAY THE LEAST.
BUT NOT ANGRY.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
THAT DEPENDS ON WHY YOU CAME.
COME ON IN. THANK YOU.
HAVE A SEAT.
CAN I GET YOU A DRINK?
NO, THANK YOU.
SIT DOWN.
UH... I'VE COME TO
ASK YOU A FAVOR.
I KNOW THAT'S A
LITTLE RIDICULOUS
IN VIEW OF THE RECENT
UNPLEASANTNESS,
BUT THERE WAS NO
ONE ELSE I COULD GO TO.
NO ONE ELSE I COULD TRUST.
WELL, WHAT IS IT?
DO YOU REMEMBER THE OTHER DAY
RUNNING INTO ME WHILE I WAS
HAVING LUNCH WITH BUZZ CONNORS?
MM-HMM.
WELL, I WAS, UH...
SEEING HIM ABOUT, UH...
ADOPTING A BABY.
J.R. AGREED TO THAT?
WELL, THAT'S
EXACTLY IT. HE DIDN'T.
AND WHEN HE FOUND OUT
ABOUT IT, HE WAS FURIOUS.
HE GOT RID OF RITA BRIGGS.
THAT'S THE MOTHER.
HE SENT HER AWAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE.
HE DIDN'T TELL ME.
HE JUST SENT HER AWAY.
AND I THOUGHT YOU
MIGHT HELP ME FIND HER
AND HELP ME GO THROUGH
WITH THE ADOPTION,
IN SPITE OF J.R.
AS MUCH AS I WOULD
LIKE TO HELP UPSET
THE MIGHTY J.R.,
I'M AFRAID I CAN'T.
BUT I THOUGHT...
ETHICS HAVE
NOTHING TO DO WITH IT,
PRACTICALITIES HAVE.
EVEN IF I FOUND THE MOTHER,
THERE'S NO WAY THAT YOU COULD
ADOPT THAT BABY
WITHOUT J.R.'s CONSENT.
THERE'S GOT TO BE
SOME WAY YOU COULD...
THAT'S PRECISELY IT.
THERE ISN'T.
YOU CAN'T ADOPT A BABY
WITHOUT HIS CONSENT.
UNLESS YOU PLAN TO DIVORCE HIM.
YOU PLAN TO DO THAT?
NO.
I'M SORRY.
WELL, I WAS HOPING
THERE MIGHT BE A MIRACLE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO
TO CHEER YOU UP?
BUY LUNCH.
[THUNDER]
GOOD NIGHT, LOOK AT THAT.
[ELECTRICAL CRACKLE]
THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL
SYSTEM'S GOING OUT.
WE'RE LOSING POWER.
CAN YOU GET A MAYDAY OFF?
EVERYTHING'S OUT.
THEY'RE PROBABLY
STILL TRACKING US
ON RADAR, THOUGH.
[ENGINE STRAINING]
[THUNDER, CRASH]
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HELLO?
I'M SORRY, BURT.
UH, JOCK'S RESTING.
I DON'T WANT TO BOTHER HIM.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
MISS ELLIE,
I JUST TALKED TO
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL.
OUR PLANE'S GONE OFF THEIR SCOPE
AROUND ABOUT CATO SWAMP.
[GASPS]
WHAT HAPPENED?
NOBODY KNOWS.
THEIR LAST CHECK-IN,
EVERYTHING WAS FINE,
BUT THERE'S A PRETTY BAD STORM
CUTTING ACROSS THAT
FLIGHT PLAN THEY FILED.
GET ALL THE DETAILS
YOU CAN, BURT.
CALL EARL McGRADY
AT THE DEPARTMENT
OF PUBLIC SAFETY.
TELL HIM I WANT A SEARCH STARTED
AS SOON AS HE CAN GET
THE HELICOPTERS OUT.
I'LL BE IN TOUCH
WITH BOTH OF YOU.
AND NO ONE IS TO CALL HERE.
NO ONE IS TO TELL JOCK ANYTHING.
YOU UNDERSTAND?
YES, MA'AM.
OH.
WHAT ABOUT JOCK?
DOES HE KNOW YET?
NO...
AND NO ONE'S GOING TO
TELL HIM ANYTHING UNTIL...
UNTIL WE REALLY
KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENED.
I DON'T KNOW, MA'AM.
IT COULD KILL HIM, RAY.
I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
WE'VE GOT TO HOPE
FOR THE BEST, LUCY.
WELL, I BETTER GET
GOING IF I'M GOING
TO MEET PAM'S PLANE
AT THE AIRPORT ON TIME.
IT'S GOING TO BE
AWFUL HARD ON HER.
BUT WHEN SHE WALKS
THROUGH THAT DOOR,
SHE'S GOING TO ACT
AS IF HE'S JUST A
LITTLE LATE FOR DINNER.
IF I'VE LOST J.R. AND BOBBY...
I'M NOT GOING TO LOSE JOCK, TOO.
YES, MA'AM.
WELL...
YOU WANT ME TO GO FIND
SUE ELLEN OR SOMETHING?
NO.
I GUESS I BETTER DO IT.
[SIGHS]
I DON'T KNOW WHERE
SHE'S GONE OFF TO TODAY.
LUCY... REMEMBER.
YOUR GRANDDADDY'S
NOT TO KNOW A THING.
I UNDERSTAND.
NO, I'VE HAD ENOUGH, THANK YOU.
OH, YOU SHOULD
HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE.
[SOFT PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
IT PUTS YOU IN A
REALLY CHEERFUL MOOD.
[LAUGHS]
WELL, I'M ALMOST
AS CHEERFUL AS I...
AS I CARE TO BE.
SEE WHAT WONDERS
CAN BE PERFORMED?
A BEAUTIFUL, MOST UNHAPPY LADY
WALKS INTO MY OFFICE,
AND JUST A FEW HOURS LATER,
SHE'S BEAUTIFUL AND LAUGHING.
THE CHANGE IS ONLY TEMPORARY,
I CAN ASSURE YOU.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
FOR THE REST OF THE DAY?
BE A SHAME TO LET
SUCH A GOOD MOOD
GET AWAY TOO QUICKLY.
WELL, UM...
J.R.'s EXPECTED BACK
FROM NEW ORLEANS...
ANYTIME NOW.
PLANES ARE LATE.
YOU SHOULD CALL HIM.
WAITER?
Ray: REMEMBER, PAM,
JOCK DOESN'T KNOW.
YOU GOT TO GET
AHOLD OF YOURSELF.
MISS ELLIE WANTS
YOU AND SUE ELLEN
AND EVERYBODY TO ACT
LIKE NOTHING'S WRONG.
[STARTS ENGINE]
MISS ELLIE'S BEEN
CALLING ALL OVER TOWN.
SHE WANTS ME HOME RIGHT AWAY.
WHAT'S WRONG?
SHE DIDN'T SAY.
WELL, YOU DON'T
HAVE TO GO RUNNING
JUST BECAUSE MISS
ELLIE WANTS YOU TO.
HEH. WHEN ELLIE
EWING SAYS RIGHT AWAY,
SHE DOESN'T MEAN SOMETIME SOON.
SHE MEANS RIGHT AWAY.
WE'LL HAVE OUR AFTERNOON...
SOME OTHER TIME.
[FOOTSTEPS RECEDING]
RAY TOLD ME.
NOW GO UPSTAIRS
AND WASH YOUR EYES
BEFORE JOCK SEES
YOU'VE BEEN CRYING.
I'M GOING TO CALL AND
SEE IF THERE'S ANY NEWS.
COME BACK DOWN
AS SOON AS YOU CAN.
BURT. IT'S ELLIE EWING.
ANY MORE NEWS?
NOTHING, MA'AM.
I JUST TALKED TO EARL.
HE'S GOT AS MANY CHOPPERS
AND LIGHT CRAFT
UP AS HE CAN SPARE,
BUT THAT STORM'S
MAKING IT MIGHTY ROUGH.
THANKS, BURT.
I'LL CALL EARL MYSELF.
I... I THINK I'D LIKE
TO TALK TO HIM.
OH. WHERE'S MISS ELLIE?
SUE ELLEN, COULD YOU
COME HERE, PLEASE?
I... I DON'T WANT
JOCK TO HEAR US.
WHAT... WHAT IS IT, PAMELA?
WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND HERE?
WELL, I WANT TO TELL YOU...
I CALLED MISS ELLIE
FROM THE RESTAURANT.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON!
JUST TELL ME, WILL YOU?
PAMELA, ARE YOU TRYING
TO HIDE SOMETHING?
SUE ELLEN!
THERE WAS A STORM.
BOBBY AND J.R. WERE
TAKING THE PLANE,
AND IT WENT DOWN
IN THE CATO SWAMP.
OH, SUE ELLEN...
I AM ALL RIGHT, PAMELA.
MISS ELLIE DOESN'T WANT JOCK
TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.
WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?
A LITTLE WHILE AGO.
THERE'S A SEARCH
PARTY OUT ALREADY,
AND THEY WERE TRACKING
THE PLANE WITH RADAR,
SO THEY ALMOST KNOW WHERE IT IS.
THERE'S NOT A SIGN OF THEM.
NOT A SIGN.
THEY KNOW.
THEY KNOW WHERE
THE PLANE WENT DOWN.
PAM SAID SO.
I JUST TALKED TO EARL McGRADY.
HIS BOYS CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.
IT'S THE STORM.
IT'S SO BAD...
THEY CAN'T DO
ANYTHING UNTIL IT'S OVER.
WELL, THEY'VE GOT
TO KEEP ON SEARCHING.
THEY CAN'T STOP NOW.
I CAN'T BEAR IT IF I
LOSE... BOTH OF THEM.
Lucy: SUKI AND JANE
ARE GOING TO GO
TO NEW YORK FOR A
WEEK IN THE SPRING,
AND I THOUGHT MAYBE I MIGHT GO.
WHAT'S NEW YORK
LIKE THESE DAYS, PAM?
I HAVEN'T BEEN THERE IN YEARS.
OUR TENTH WEDDING
ANNIVERSARY, JOCK.
REMEMBER?
I SURE DO.
WELL, TO TELL YOU
THE TRUTH, MISS ELLIE,
I SPENT MOST OF MY
TIME IN THE HOTEL SUITE
LOOKING AT COLLECTIONS WITH LIZ.
HARDLY SAW ANYTHING OF THE CITY.
YOU KNOW, PAM, UM...
I THINK YOU'D DO BETTER
TRAVELING WITH BOBBY
INSTEAD OF LIZ CRAIG.
SEEMS TO ME YOU'D
HAVE A MUCH BETTER TIME.
WELL, I DIDN'T HAVE A BAD TIME.
I'M REALLY ENJOYING MY WORK.
DID YOU AND BOBBY HAVE A FIGHT?
NOW, JOCK, YOU KNOW
THAT'S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS.
TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
BOBBY AND I DID
HAVE A DISAGREEMENT.
HE WAS MAD BECAUSE
I DIDN'T MEET HIM
IN NEW ORLEANS.
WELL, NOW.
I KNEW SOMETHING WAS
GOING ON AROUND HERE,
BUT THAT'S NO EXCUSE
FOR BOBBY GETTING HUFFY
AND STAYING OVER IN NEW ORLEANS.
HE HAD A MEETING WITH BEN
DEERING THIS AFTERNOON.
WHAT I CAN'T FIGURE IS
HOW HE TALKED J.R.
OUT OF COMING BACK.
BOBBY WOULDN'T MISS A MEETING
BECAUSE OF A FIGHT WITH ME.
UH... I MEAN...
UH, THERE'S BEEN A BAD
STORM AROUND NEW ORLEANS.
THEY... THEY PROBABLY
JUST DECIDED TO WAIT
UNTIL IT BLOWS OVER.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WITHOUT CALLING?
WELL, THEY'RE HAVING A PROBLEM
WITH THE PHONES TO NEW ORLEANS.
WE'VE BEEN TRYING.
WE... WE COULDN'T GET THROUGH.
OH? WELL... I'VE GOT WORK TO DO.
PAPERWORK, MISS ELLIE.
AND WHEN THOSE BOYS GET BACK,
YOU TELL THEM I WANT TO SEE 'EM.
BOTH OF 'EM.
THANK YOU.
YES. I'D LIKE TO PLACE
A PERSON-TO-PERSON PHONE CALL
TO AREA CODE 702... 389-6212,
AND I'LL SPEAK TO THE MAN
IN CHARGE OF THE CASINO.
HELLO. MY NAME IS LUCY EWING,
AND I'M TRYING TO LOCATE
MY FATHER GARY EWING.
HE USED TO BE A DEALER THERE.
OH, I KNOW,
BUT I JUST THOUGHT
MAYBE YOU COULD TELL ME
WHERE HE'S WORKING
NOW, AND, UH...
YES. GARY EWING. THAT'S RIGHT...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WAIT UNTIL WE KNOW
THEY'RE DEAD AT LEAST.
HE HAS A RIGHT TO BE
HERE. THEY'RE HIS BROTHERS.
JOCK WILL CALL HIM
IF AND WHEN HE EVER NEEDS HIM.
HE SHOULD BE HERE.
READY TO TAKE OVER?
NO, I DIDN'T MEAN THAT.
AS HARD AS IT MAY BE
FOR YOU TO BELIEVE,
I'M NOT MONEY-HUNGRY
LIKE YOU ARE, SUE ELLEN.
YOU BRAT!
THAT'S RIGHT. I'M A EWING BRAT.
A BORN EWING.
I BET YOU'RE REAL SORRY
THAT YOU DON'T HAVE
A LITTLE BRAT OF
YOUR OWN, LIKE ME,
'CAUSE IF J.R. IS DEAD,
WITHOUT A CHILD, YOU'LL
NEVER HAVE SOUTHFORK.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
[RING]
HELLO?
MRS. EWING?
YES?
KEN JACKSON, DALLAS PRESS.
WE JUST HEARD THAT
THE EWING COMPANY PLANE
CARRYING YOUR 2
SONS J.R. AND ROBERT
HAS BEEN REPORTED MISSING.
DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENT?
NONE WHATSOEVER.
WELL, UH, IS THERE ANY
TRUTH TO THE REPORT?
ARE THEY MISSING?
I JUST SAID NO COMMENT.
I DON'T CARE TO REPEAT MYSELF.
[DIALING PHONE]
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HELLO?
RAY?
MISS ELLIE.
A REPORTER JUST CALLED.
I WOULDN'T TALK TO HIM,
BUT I'LL BET THERE'LL
BE MORE OF 'EM
AND SOME TRYING TO GET
UP HERE TO THE HOUSE.
I WANT YOU TO TELL THE HANDS
TO CLOSE OFF ALL THE
ROADS ON THE PROPERTY
AND KEEP A GOOD EYE
OUT FOR ANY TRESPASSERS.
AND IF I SEE ANYBODY OUT THERE?
I WANT THEM TAKEN
OFF EWING LAND.
YES, MA'AM.
GOOD CIGAR?
[CHUCKLES] YEAH, IT SURE IS.
ALL YOUR FAULT, THOUGH.
YOU KEEP THAT HUMIDOR FILLED.
HABIT. OBVIOUSLY, A BAD ONE.
I COULD USE A TOUCH
OF BRANDY WITH IT, TOO.
NO BRANDY.
AND THAT'S ALL OF THAT
CIGAR YOU'RE HAVING.
YOU'RE A HARD LADY, MISS ELLIE.
WELL, SOMEBODY AROUND HERE
HAS TO HAVE SOME DISCIPLINE.
AND YOU'RE GONNA FOLLOW
THE DOCTOR'S ORDERS
IF IT KILLS YOU.
I, UH, THOUGHT THAT
THAT'S WHAT WE WERE
TRYING TO AVOID.
BAD CHOICE OF WORDS.
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO GET
YOUR STRENGTH BACK.
I REALLY WOULDN'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO WITHOUT YOU.
AH.
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.
I WANT 2 MEN ON EACH OF
THE MAIN ACCESS ROADS
TO THE RANCH.
GET SOME SAWHORSES
AND SET UP BLOCKADES.
ONE MAN STANDS
GUARD AT ALL TIMES.
ABOUT A HALF DOZEN
4-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES
AROUND HERE.
USE 'EM TO RIDE FENCE.
I WANT NO REPORTERS
ON EWING LAND
TILL MISS ELLIE SAYS SO.
THERE'S AN AWFUL
LOT OF OPEN COUNTRY
OUT THERE, RAY.
YEAH, IT'S ALL FENCED.
THAT MEANS ANYBODY
YOU FIND THIS SIDE
OF THE FENCE IS TRESPASSING.
WHAT IF WE FIND SOMEBODY?
WE GOIN' ARMED?
NO GUNS, YOU HEAR?
YOU FIND SOMEBODY OUT THERE
WHO'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE,
YOU HUSTLE HIM OFF.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
IS KEEP EVERYONE AWAY
FROM THE MAIN HOUSE,
AND GET RID OF 'EM FAST.
DON'T YOU THINK YOU'VE
HAD PLENTY OF THAT?
WHAT IS PLENTY? HMM?
CHANGES FROM PERSON
TO PERSON, YOU KNOW.
WELL, FOR ME...
PLENTY MIGHT BE ENOUGH TO, UM,
PUT ME TO SLEEP.
THAT'S IT.
THAT MIGHT BE PLENTY.
COME ON, SUE ELLEN.
LET ME HELP YOU UPSTAIRS.
UH-UH.
[SIGHS]
I LOVE J.R.
THAT'S WHY I MARRIED HIM.
WHY DOESN'T ANYBODY
UNDERSTAND THAT?
I HAVE TRIED
EVERYTHING I KNOW HOW
TO GET HIM TO LOVE ME.
DON'T MAKE IT
WORSE FOR YOURSELF.
I WAS JUST SITTING HERE,
COUNTING MY BLESSINGS.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
THEY ALL ADD UP TO J.R.
THE COUNTRY CLUBS,
THE COMMITTEES,
THE INVITATIONS,
IT IS ALL BECAUSE I
AM MRS. J.R. EWING.
SUE ELLEN, THAT
JUST IS NOT TRUE.
I HAD LUNCH WITH A MAN TODAY.
HE THOUGHT I WAS
VERY ATTRACTIVE.
STILL, MAYBE IT'S ONLY
BECAUSE I'M MRS. EWING.
MRS. J.R. EWING.
EVERYTHING IS BECAUSE
I AM MRS. J.R. EWING.
EVERYTHING, INCLUDING THAT?
COME ON, YOU NEED SOME REST.
AT LEAST LET ME
HELP YOU UPSTAIRS.
DON'T YOU LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT.
HOW'S IT GONNA FEEL FOR YOU
TO BE PLAIN OL' MISS
BARNES AGAIN, HMM?
AND DON'T YOU TALK LIKE THAT.
NOW THEY'RE BOTH
COMING BACK HOME.
YOU DON'T LIKE
THAT IDEA, DO YOU?
[CHUCKLES] YOU PRETEND SO WELL.
YOU KNOW, I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT
YOU WERE JUST A
GOLD DIGGER ANYWAY.
IS THAT ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT?
I MEAN, EVEN NOW?
THE EWING MONEY?
GOOD-BYE.
GOOD-BYE, EVERYTHING.
OH, STOP IT, SUE ELLEN.
I'M NOT GONNA LISTEN TO
YOUR DISGUSTING SELF-PITY
ABOUT YOUR FINANCES.
HOW DARE YOU TALK
TO ME LIKE THAT?
[CHUCKLES]
HOW MANY MEN PAID YOUR BILLS
BEFORE YOU FOUND
BOBBY TO PICK UP THE TAB?
NOBODY EVER PAID MY BILLS!
I WORKED IN A JOB,
JUST THE WAY I'M DOING NOW!
WHAT DID YOU EVER DO?!
DO YOU KNOW WHAT
HAPPENS IF J.R. IS DEAD?
I LOSE EVERYTHING.
I DON'T EVEN HAVE A CHILD.
AND I WANTED ONE SO BAD.
[SOBBING]
[VEHICLE APPROACHING]
[CAR DOOR CLOSES]
[DOOR OPENS]
I, UH, DIDN'T WANNA RING.
I JUST GOT JOCK OFF TO SLEEP.
NO WORD YET, HUH?
NO.
I TALKED TO McGRADY.
THE STORM'S OVER.
THEY'RE SENDING OUT MORE PLANES.
HOW ARE THINGS OUTSIDE?
I RAN OFF A BUNCH OF REPORTERS,
TV PEOPLE, AT THE MAIN GATE.
THEY MANAGED TO INTERVIEW
A COUPLE OF HANDS.
I DON'T THINK THEY GOT ANYTHING,
THOUGH, MA'AM.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
WHO'S THAT THIS TIME OF NIGHT?
MRS. EWING?
WHO ARE YOU?
KEN JACKSON. I'M WITH THE PRESS.
I CALLED EARLIER.
YOU'RE TRESPASSING, MISTER.
I'LL TAKE CARE, OF THIS, RAY.
HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?
HOW DID YOU GET ON
THE RANCH, MR. JACKSON?
WELL, I DID AN
ARTICLE ON THE PLACE
A COUPLE YEARS BACK,
AND I REMEMBERED AN ARROYO
THAT, UH, LED INTO THE FEED LOT.
WELL, WE'LL HAVE TO
TAKE CARE OF THAT.
NOW, EXACTLY WHAT
DO YOU WANT WITH ME,
MR. JACKSON?
WELL, UH, YOU KNOW,
MAYBE A STATEMENT.
YOU KNOW, JUST A FEW WORDS.
YOU HEAR A RUMOR
THAT A PLANE IS DOWN,
MY 2 BOYS MISSING,
AND WITH NO RESPECT
FOR HUMAN FEELING
OR PRIVATE GRIEF,
YOU COME CIRCLING
AROUND HERE LIKE A VULTURE.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT
WE DO TO VULTURES
OUT HERE, MR. JACKSON?
RAY, GET ME THE SHOTGUN
OUT OF THE HALL CLOSET.
YES, MA'AM.
NOW, MRS. EWING,
I'M JUST... I'M JUST
DOING MY JOB.
THEN FIND A BETTER JOB
OR A BETTER WAY
OF DOING THIS ONE.
NOW, MR. JACKSON,
ANYBODY ON MY LAND
WITHOUT INVITATION
IS A TRESPASSER.
SO UNLESS I SEE YOUR TAIL
HEADING OUT OF HERE
RIGHT NOW, AND FAST,
I'M GONNA BLOW IT OFF.
YES, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM.
NOW GET OUT OF HERE.
GET OUT!
I'LL GET A COUPLE MEN
DOWN THAT ARROYO, MA'AM.
JUST IN CASE ANY
MORE OF THESE CREEPS
COME SNOOPING AROUND HERE.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
WHY, MISS ELLIE?
YOU HEARD.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
I WAS AFRAID TO.
OF WHAT IT WOULD DO TO YOU.
WHEN ARE YOU GONNA
UNDERSTAND, WOMAN?
WHEN?
THAT I'M ALL RIGHT?
DAMN IT, ELLIE. BOTH OF 'EM.
WHY?!
IT'S NOT CERTAIN, JOCK.
THERE'S STILL A
CHANCE. A SEARCH IS ON.
Jock: I'VE ALREADY
NOTIFIED EARL McGRADY
THAT YOU'D BE
JOINING THE SEARCH.
NOW, YOU WON'T BE
ABLE TO SEE MUCH
BEFORE DAYLIGHT.
Ray: YES, SIR.
EVIDENTLY, THE HOMING
BEACON'S NOT ON,
MEANING IT'S OUT OR LOST,
OR JOHNNY'S HURT TOO
BAD TO SET IT IN OPERATION.
THERE'S ONE MORE SIGNAL
THAT I WANT YOU TO LOOK OUT FOR.
I USED TO SPEND A LOT
OF TIME WITH J.R. FISHING,
HUNTING, WHEN HE WAS A KID.
ONCE THING THAT
I DRILLED INTO HIM
WAS HOW TO SIGNAL FOR HELP
IF HE WAS EVER OUT
ALONE, LOST OR HURT.
3 OF ANYTHING, RAY.
3.
SHOTS, FIRES, MIRROR FLASHES.
THAT'S WHAT I WANT
YOU TO WATCH OUT FOR.
I'LL KEEP MY EYES OPEN.
ANYTHING ELSE, SIR?
YES.
NO MATTER HOW IT TURNS OUT...
DEAD OR ALIVE,
BRING MY BOYS HOME.
I WILL, JOCK.
THANK YOU, RAY.
[SIGHS]
ANY NEWS?
[SIGHS] NO.
JOCK FOUND OUT.
IS HE ALL RIGHT?
I THINK SO.
HE SENT RAY TO JOIN THE SEARCH.
I'M SCARED, PAM.
I'VE NEVER BEEN SO
FRIGHTENED IN MY LIFE.
EVEN WHEN JOCK WAS IN THE WAR,
I DIDN'T FEEL THIS SCARED.
I GUESS IT'S BECAUSE
WE WERE BOTH SO
YOUNG THEN, AND...
SOMEHOW YOU THINK
YOU JUST CAN'T DIE.
BUT NOW...
WHOA. DON'T, MISS ELLIE.
DON'T EVEN THINK THAT.
THOSE BOYS OF MINE.
YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THEM
WHEN THEY WERE BABIES.
J.R. WAS SO QUIET, SO SHY.
WHEN I TOOK HIM SHOPPING,
HE HELD ON TO MY SKIRT SO TIGHT.
I THINK JOCK
SCARED HIM AT FIRST.
AND THEN WHEN GARY CAME ALONG,
JOCK JUST TOOK OVER RAISING J.R.
MAKE HIM A MAN'S MAN, HE SAID.
I GUESS THAT'S WHY
I FUSSED OVER GARY SO MUCH,
BECAUSE... BECAUSE JOCK HAD J.R.
AND GARY... GARY WAS
A LOT LIKE MY DADDY.
ALWAYS IN TROUBLE WITH JOCK.
AND BOBBY...
WE ALL SPOILED HIM.
BOBBY WAS GIVEN EVERYTHING
THAT J.R. HAD TO FIGHT FOR
AND GARY DIDN'T CARE ABOUT.
AND I HAD TO WATCH
THEM, LOVE THEM,
IN SPITE OF EVERYTHING.
AND I DO.
IN SPITE OF EVERYTHING.
OH, LISTEN TO ME.
I WANTED TO CHEER
YOU UP A LITTLE BIT.
I'VE JUST GONE
AND MADE IT WORSE.
NO, YOU HAVEN'T.
YOU HAVEN'T AT ALL.
I HAVEN'T GIVEN UP HOPING YET.
AND DON'T YOU, EITHER.
NOW, YOU SHOULD GET SOME SLEEP.
[HELICOPTER]
[HORSE WHINNIES]
GOOD MORNING, GRANDDADDY.
LUCY.
MADE YOU SOME BREAKFAST.
WHAT MAKES YOU SO
AMBITIOUS THIS MORNING?
OH, I JUST FELT LIKE COOKING.
I MADE EGGS JUST
THE WAY YOU LIKE 'EM.
WELL, IT SURE LOOKS LIKE
ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY.
MAYBE WE COULD DO SOME... LUCY.
I KNOW ABOUT J.R. AND BOBBY.
I'M SORRY, GRANDDADDY.
GRANDDADDY?
YEAH?
DON'T YOU THINK
MY... MY DADDY SHOULD BE HERE?
HAVE YOU BEEN
TALKING TO YOUR DADDY?
NO.
HE HAD HIS CHANCE,
LUCY, AND WALKED AWAY.
BUT HE'S STILL YOUR SON.
EAT YOUR BREAKFAST.
THEY'RE HIS BROTHERS.
I DON'T WANNA HEAR
ANY MORE ABOUT IT, LUCY.
[SIGHS]
[FROGS CROAKING,
FLAMES CRACKLING]
J.R.: BOBBY?
[HELICOPTER APPROACHING]
DO YOU HEAR THAT?
Bobby: IT'S A CHOPPER.
J.R., IT'S A HELICOPTER.
YEAH. [CHUCKLING]
WHAT'D I TELL YOU, BOY?
LOOK, THERE IT
IS! HEY, OVER HERE!
J.R.: COME ON!
YAHOO!
[J.R. AND BOBBY LAUGHING]
J.R.: I TOLD YOU, DIDN'T I?
GR-54 TO GROUND CONTROL.
COME IN, GROUND CONTROL.
YEAH?
WHERE?
HE DID?
THANK GOD.
BRING 'EM HOME, RAY.
AND THANK YOU.
[DOG BARKING]
[SIGHS]
I REMEMBERED, DAD.
YOU SURE DID, SON.
I'M PROUD OF YA. BOTH OF YA.
IT'S SO GOOD TO
SEE THEM LIKE THAT.
MAYBE NOW WE CAN
BE A REAL FAMILY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU MEAN, MISS ELLIE.
WE ARE A REAL FAMILY.
WE'RE ALL EWINGS. EXCUSE ME.
J.R. MIGHT NEED ME.
SHE WISHES.
NOW, THAT'S ENOUGH, LUCY.
SORRY, GRANDMA.
ARE YOU COMING, HONEY?
OH. RIGHT NOW.
