Dallas (1978–1991): Season 3, Episode 1 - Whatever Happened to Baby John?: Part 1 - full transcript

J.R.: BETTER GET DRESSED, HONEY.

TIME TO GO HOME.

ALREADY?

YEAH. NO SENSE
WORRYING ABOUT THE BABY.

BE HOME IN A FEW DAYS.

I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT ANYTHING.

I KNOW EVERYTHING'S
GONNA BE JUST FINE.

YOU TRY AND FORCE HER TO CHOOSE

BETWEEN YOU AND J.R.,

AND YOU'RE GONNA BE DRIVING HER

BACK TO THAT SANITARIUM.



I'M GONNA HAVE THEM BOTH,

SUE ELLEN AND THE BABY.

I'LL GET THEM ANY WAY I HAVE TO.

OH, NO, J.R.

THERE... THERE'S BEEN A MISTAKE.

NO. NO. NO MISTAKE, MAMA.

IT'S THE BABY. GOOD-BYE, MAMA.

OHH.

[BABY CRIES]

Woman on P.A.: DR. SAMUELS,
CALL YOUR SERVICE.

DR. SAMUELS, CALL YOUR SERVICE.

JUST A FEW MORE DAYS,

AND WE'LL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN

TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE
AS FEW AS POSSIBLE.



THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

YOU KNOW HOW ANXIOUS WE ALL ARE.

MAY I SEE THAT FOR
JUST A MINUTE, PLEASE?

OH. YEAH, OF COURSE.

THANK YOU.

WELL, I'LL BE DAMNED.
AMES AND GARR GOT OUT.

THANK YOU.

BETTER GET DRESSED, HONEY.

TIME TO GO HOME.

[BABY CRIES]

ALREADY?

YEAH. NO SENSE
WORRYING ABOUT THE BABY.

DOCTOR SAYS HE'S GONNA BE FINE.

BE HOME IN A FEW DAYS.

[BABY CRYING]

I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT ANYTHING.

EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE JUST FINE.

Woman on P.A.: DR. FENNIMAN,
REPORT TO RADIOLOGY.

DR. FENNIMAN,
REPORT TO RADIOLOGY.

Ray: HO!

[CATTLE LOWING]

HO, NOW, HO! HO THERE! HO!

[WHISTLING]

GET ON! HYAH! HYAH!

HO! HO!

[HORSE NEIGHS]

HO! HO, HO! HO!

HOWDY. HOWDY. HOWDY.

SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT ONE.

DADDY, I FOUND A DEAD COW

UP BY THE BRADDOCK COUNTY LINE.

LOOKED LIKE SCREWWORMS.

YEAH? WELL, THAT
ONE'S GOT SCREWWORM.

THAT'S FOR SURE.

IF WE DON'T TAKE
CARE OF IT FAST,

WE'RE LIABLE TO HAVE AN EPIDEMIC

ON OUR HANDS.

WHAT ABOUT THOSE, RAY?

THEY ALL RIGHT?

I FOUND ONE IN THERE
WITH SCREWWORM, JOCK.

WE'D BETTER RIDE EVERY PASTURE

AND TAKE A LOOK AT EVERY HEAD

IN THE MORNING.

GOOD IDEA, BOBBY.

WE SURE GOT A LOT
OF GROUND TO COVER.

[CAR HORN BEEPS]

[MEN SHOUTING]

HERE COMES EWING III, SIR.

[BELLOWING AND SHOUTING]

[JOCK CHUCKLES]

HEY, THERE'S DAD AND BOBBY.

HEY, DAD, BOB!

HEY, SUE ELLEN! WELCOME HOME!

ALL THE BOYS ARE REAL HAPPY

TO HAVE YOU BACK.

[HOOFBEATS]

WHY DON'T YOU GIVE THEM

A LITTLE WAVE OR SMILE
OR SOMETHING, HUH?

[SHOUTING AND WHISTLING]

COME ON, SUE ELLEN.

THEY'RE JUST YELLING
THEIR HEADS OFF FOR YOU.

GO ON, GIVE THEM A WAVE.

SURE IS GOOD TO
HAVE SUE ELLEN BACK.

GOOD. GOOD.

EVERYBODY'S REAL HAPPY

TO HAVE YOU HOME, SWEETHEART.

INCLUDING ME.

[STARTS CAR]

[LOUNGE MUSIC PLAYS]

I'VE BEEN SEEING
HER AT THE HOSPITAL.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
SUE ELLEN'S LIKE NOW.

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN HER EVERY DAY

THE WAY I HAVE.

SHE'S BEEN ILL. SHE'LL RECOVER.

IF YOU GIVE HER A CHANCE.

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL, CLIFF.

I DON'T LIKE WHAT HAPPENED,

BUT I CAN STILL
SYMPATHIZE WITH YOU,

BUT THERE'S NOT JUST YOU
TO CONSIDER OR THE BABY.

THERE'S SUE ELLEN.

SHE'S AN EMOTIONAL MESS.

IT'S LIKE SHE'S
WALKING A TIGHTROPE,

AND ANY DISTURBANCE,
THE SLIGHTEST DISTRACTION,

AND SHE'S GONNA FALL OFF.

LOOK, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, PAM.

I CAN HELP HER
BECAUSE SHE LOVES ME.

YOU'LL HELP HER RIGHT
BACK TO THE BOTTLE

IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL.

I SHOULD'VE LET HER
COME TO ME MONTHS AGO

WHEN SHE WANTED TO.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE.

MAYBE A LOT OF THIS MESS
WOULD'VE BEEN AVOIDED

IF YOU HAD.

WAIT A MINUTE. I ONLY DID

WHAT I THOUGHT
WOULD BEST HELP HER.

WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS
BEST FOR YOUR CAREER.

OH, WAIT A MINUTE!
THAT'S NOT FAIR.

J.R. CAME TO ME.

I'M TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT J.R.

FOR ONCE, JUST FOR ONCE,

TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR YOUR OWN LIFE.

WHATEVER HAPPENED
DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.

WHAT MATTERS IS THAT I LOVE HER

AND I WANT TO BE WITH HER.

I WANT HER, AND I WANT OUR SON.

I'M WARNING YOU, CLIFF.

YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY
THINK SHE'S BETTER OFF

BEING MARRIED TO THAT MONSTER

THAN TO BE WITH ME?

BUT I DO.

WELL, I DON'T CARE

BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT
GONNA CHANGE MY MIND.

I WANT THEM. I
WANT BOTH OF THEM.

[HORSE NEIGHS]

Lucy: CAN YOU IMAGINE
ALL THE GUYS OVER THERE?

WHOO, WHOO, WHOO!

GOING AROUND IN THESE
LITTLE BATHING SUITS?

[LAUGHS]

DID YOU SEE THE WAY MARK
WAS MAKING EYES AT YOU?

OH, SHOOT.

NO, WANDA, I'M NOT KIDDING.

HE'S NOT TOO BAD.

HE'S GOT BEAUTIFUL EYES.

LET'S HOPE WE CAN GET
SOME CLASSES TOGETHER HERE.

MMM.

LUCY'S PLANNING
TO STUDY THIS YEAR.

OH, THERE THEY
ARE! THERE'S THE CAR!

[HORSE NEIGHS]

J.R.!

HI, LUCY. HOW YOU DOING?

FINE! HOW'S THE BABY?

OH, FINE, FINE.

THE DOCTOR SAYS
WE CAN HAVE HIM HOME

IN A FEW DAYS.

OH, GREAT.

WELCOME BACK, SUE ELLEN.

I'M REALLY GLAD YOU'RE HOME.

I'M HAPPY TO BE BACK.

I'LL JUST GET HER
SETTLED IN, HONEY.

HOWDY, GIRLS. HOW YOU DOING?

FINE.

HEH HEH!

I'LL GET THAT DOOR FOR YOU.

COME ON.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID SHE WAS FINE.

SHE IS.

I DON'T THINK SO.

I THINK SHE'S ACTING
RATHER PECULIAR.

NAH. WELL, COME ON.

LET'S GO AND FINISH
OUR SCHEDULES.

I MEANT WHAT I SAID, DARLING.

I'M GLAD YOU'RE BACK,
AND I'M GONNA TRY

TO MAKE YOU HAPPY YOU'RE HOME.

I AM HAPPY, J.R.

I'M GONNA MAKE IT UP
TO YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

I'M A LITTLE TIRED.

I THINK I'LL LIE DOWN
BEFORE DINNER.

SURE.

HERE YOU GO.

HERE'S THE LAST OF THEM.

THANKS.

MR. AMES. MR. GARR.

UH, LOUELLA. CONNIE.

J.R. IN?

WE, UH, HEARD HE HAD A BABY.

STOPPED BY TO CONGRATULATE HIM.

YOU HEARD?

WELL, EVEN WHERE WE WERE,

THERE ARE NEWSPAPERS.

J.R.'s NOT IN RIGHT NOW.

WITH HIS WIFE AND
BABY, I SUPPOSE.

ARE THEY STILL IN THE HOSPITAL?

THE BABY IS. SUE ELLEN
WENT HOME TODAY.

Garr: LUCKY FELLOW, THAT J.R.

HAVE THEM BOTH SURVIVE
AN ACCIDENT LIKE THAT.

WELL, UH, YOU TELL HIM

WE WERE HERE TO SEE HIM.

I'LL BE SURE AND TELL HIM.

ALL RIGHT.

REAL NICE SEEING
YOU AGAIN, DARLING.

YOU KNOW, THOSE
TWO SCARE ME SILLY.

HOW'D THEY GET PAROLED SO FAST?

WHEN YOU'RE JEB AMES
AND WILLIE JOE GARR

AND THE CHARGE IS
ONLY MANSLAUGHTER,

I GUESS YOU DON'T STAY
IN PRISON VERY LONG.

MAMA, CAN I MAKE YOU SOMETHING?

YES, THANKS.

DADDY BEEN OUT WITH
THE BOYS ALL DAY?

MM-HMM.

I THINK SUE ELLEN
LOOKS A LITTLE PALE.

OH, NOW, DON'T YOU GO
WORRYING ABOUT SUE ELLEN.

DR. CRANE SAYS SHE'S
IN PERFECT HEALTH.

PHYSICALLY, MAYBE.

MAMA, IT'S JUST
A MATTER OF TIME.

ALL SHE NEEDS IS
TO REST AND REALIZE

THAT ALL THE TROUBLES ARE OVER.

EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE FINE.

IS IT?

IF I HAVE ANYTHING
TO SAY ABOUT IT.

YOU'LL SEE.

YOU'RE GONNA BE PROUD OF ME YET.

I HOPE SO.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Lucy: HI, BOBBY. HI, GRANDDADDY.

HI, LUCY.

WHAT DO YOU SAY, LUCY?

J.R.

WHAT DO YOU SAY, J.R.?

DADDY.

HOW'S, UH, SUE
ELLEN AND THE BABY?

OH, THE DOCTOR SAYS THEY'RE JUST

IN GREAT SHAPE.

OH, THAT'S GOOD. GOOD.

YOU LOOK A LITTLE TIRED.

YOU BEEN OUT THERE ALL DAY?

NO, I'M FINE, FINE.

JUST A LITTLE WARM, THAT'S ALL.

DADDY.

AH, THANK YOU, BOBBY.

WE DID RUN INTO SOME CALVES

WITH SCREWWORM, THOUGH.

SCREWWORM? HOW LONG GONE IS IT?

OH, MAYBE 10, 12 DAYS.

PUTTING SOME EXTRA HANDS ON.

WE'RE GONNA CHECK
THE HERD IN THE MORNING.

THAT COULD BE BIG TROUBLE.

WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THAT

BEFORE IT GETS THAT FAR.

WELL, I HOPE SO, SIR.

EWING ENTERPRISES
HAS ENOUGH PROBLEMS

WITH OIL AT THE MOMENT.

CERTAINLY DOESN'T
NEED SHORT BEEF SALES

ON TOP OF THAT.

DON'T WORRY YOURSELF, J.R.

WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

WELL, I HOPE SO.

WE'LL SEE YOU.

LUCY.

J.R.

CAN I FIX YOU SOMETHING?

A SODA OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

NO, THANKS. I'LL FIX IT MYSELF.

YOU KNOW, UH, I TRY REAL HARD

TO BE NICE TO YOU, DARLING.

YOU JUST WON'T LET ME, WILL YOU?

PAM'S HOME.

THAT OUGHT TO MAKE
GRANDMA PRETTY HAPPY.

FAMILY HASN'T BEEN
TOGETHER FOR DINNER

IN A LONG TIME.

Pam: SUE ELLEN.

SUE ELLEN.

I'M GLAD YOU'RE HOME.
YOU LOOK WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU.

HI, HONEY.

HI, DARLING.

YOU LOOK TIRED. DID
YOU HAVE A BAD DAY?

WELL, WE GOT SOME SICK CATTLE.

WE'LL BE ABLE TO
HANDLE IT, THOUGH.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?

YOU DON'T LOOK SO
CHIPPER YOURSELF.

I RAN INTO SUE
ELLEN IN THE HALL.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TALK TO HER.

WELL, DARLING, YOU GOT TO

GIVE HER SOME TIME.

SHE FIGURES OUT THAT WE'RE BOTH

ON HER SIDE, SHE'LL COME AROUND.

I DON'T THINK SO, BOBBY.

I THINK SHE HATES US ALL NOW.

[MUSIC BOX PLAYING]

[NEW TUNE PLAYING]

Bobby: SUE ELLEN?

HELLO, BOBBY.

HOW YOU FEELING?

JUST FINE.

GOOD. IT'S GOOD
TO HAVE YOU HOME.

SO EVERYONE KEEPS ASSURING ME.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL ROOM, ISN'T IT?

YEAH. MAMA PUT A FEW WEEKS

INTO GETTING THIS TOGETHER.

SHE WAITED A LONG TIME
FOR THIS GRANDCHILD.

SUE ELLEN, YOU HAVE
TO STOP THINKING

THE ONLY THING WE
CARE ABOUT IS THE BABY.

IT'S NOT TRUE.

WHY, BOBBY, I KNOW THAT YOU ALL

ARE CONCERNED ABOUT ME.

WE CARE ABOUT YOU,
SUE ELLEN, ALL OF US DO.

THANK YOU.

THAT'S VERY SWEET OF YOU.

SUE ELLEN, YOU HAVE
TO STOP DOING THIS.

YOU NEED FRIENDS.

DON'T PUSH US AWAY.
LET US TRY AND HELP.

SUE ELLEN...

I WOULD NEVER USE
WHAT YOU TOLD ME

ABOUT CLIFF AND THE
BABY TO HURT YOU.

YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT.

YOU CAN TRUST ME.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE

TALKING ABOUT, BOBBY.

HE'S ABOUT DEAD.

DAMN.

[HORSE NEIGHS]

J.R.: NOT GETTING UP
THIS MORNING, DARLING?

NOT AT THE MOMENT, NO.

WELL, MAMA MIGHT START
WORRYING, YOU KNOW?

YOUR MAMA HAS HAD 3 SONS.

I THINK SHE WOULD UNDERSTAND

THAT RESTING IS
PERFECTLY NATURAL.

YEAH. YEAH, I
GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.

SAY, DO YOU REMEMBER THAT
LITTLE GREEK RESTAURANT

WE USED TO GO TO?

YES.

WELL, UH, I DROPPED
IN THERE FOR LUNCH

THE OTHER DAY AND...

NO, NO. IT WAS A
BUSINESSMAN'S LUNCH.

HONESTLY.

I'M SURE IT WAS.

WELL, IT TURNED OUT TO
BE JUST AS WONDERFUL

AS I REMEMBER IT, AND
I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE

A FUN IDEA IF YOU AND I
DROPPED IN THERE TODAY

AFTER WE VISIT THE BABY.

I'M NOT GOING TO
VISIT THE BABY TODAY.

YOU'RE NOT?

DR. CRANE SAYS IT'S
IMPORTANT FOR ME

TO REST, AND I DON'T
THINK TRAVELING

FROM HERE TO DALLAS
IS HER IDEA OF REST.

WELL, BUT... BUT THE BABY...

THE BABY IS PERFECTLY FINE, J.R.

WELL, DARLING...

I DON'T CARE TO
DISCUSS THIS ANY MORE.

I NEED MY REST.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

I'LL SEE YOU TONIGHT.

BOBBY'S SO WORRIED
ABOUT THE CATTLE.

IS IT SERIOUS?

WELL, NOT IF IT'S
CAUGHT IN TIME.

IT'S JUST A LOT OF WORK.

HE'S PROBABLY MORE
TIRED THAN WORRIED.

MORNING, EVERYBODY.

J.R., WHAT TIME ARE YOU GOING

TO THE HOSPITAL?

OH, ABOUT 12:30, 1:00.

I THOUGHT I'D DRIVE
IN WITH SUE ELLEN

THIS MORNING.

WHAT IF I TOOK
YOU BOTH TO LUNCH?

SUE ELLEN'S NOT GOING
INTO TOWN TODAY, MAMA.

SHE'S NOT?

NO. DR. CRANE TOLD
HER TO STAY IN BED.

NOW, IT'S NOTHING TO
GET WORRIED ABOUT.

SHE JUST NEEDS A
LITTLE REST, THAT'S ALL.

GEE, I GOT TO GET GOING.

IT'S NOT UNUSUAL
FOR A NEW MOTHER

TO NEED REST.

NO. I GUESS NOT.

COME ON, LUCY.

I'LL DROP YOU OFF AT SCHOOL,

THEN WE CAN GO TO
THE HOSPITAL TOGETHER.

GREAT! I'LL SEE YOU
LATER, GRANDMA.

BYE-BYE.

SEE YOU LATER.

WE'VE GOT THEM STOPPED
HERE, HERE, AND HERE,

BUT LOOK AT ALL
THE YELLOW FLAGS.

THEY'VE GOT PLENTY
OF DRILL SITES,

AND THEY'RE STILL
BUYING MORE LEASES.

CLIFF, THERE ARE
ONLY 24 HOURS A DAY,

AND WE CAN'T SPEND
IT ALL ON EWING OIL.

BESIDES, IT WOULDN'T LOOK GOOD.

GOT TO BE SOMEPLACE
ELSE WE CAN MOVE.

WELL, THERE'S THE...
THE PALO SECO FIELD.

WE'VE HAD A LOT OF COMPLAINTS

FROM THE FARMERS IN THE AREA.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S
A VERY GOOD IDEA.

UNLESS, UH, THE
COMPLAINTS ARE SUBSTANTIAL.

NO, THEY'RE NOT,
NOT AT THE MOMENT.

WHAT ABOUT THE
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY

ON THE LINDERO SITE?

LOOKS GOOD TO ME.

YOU CAN'T TURN DOWN
THAT STUDY, CLIFF.

THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO REASON.

LOOK, IF YOUR BATTLE
WITH THE EWINGS

BEGINS TO LOOK TOO MUCH

LIKE A VENDETTA,
YOU'RE GONNA END UP

CUTTING YOUR OWN
THROAT, AS WELL AS THEIRS.

LOOK, I'VE HEARD SOME RUMBLINGS

FROM AUSTIN I DON'T LIKE.

YOU'RE GONNA FIND YOURSELF THERE

ANSWERING A WHOLE
LOT OF QUESTIONS.

IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL.

SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST DO US

BOTH A FAVOR AND JUST GO SLOWER?

OK, I'LL GO SLOWER.

THAT'S BETTER.

MATERNITY WARD, PLEASE.

YES, I WAS, UH, CALLING
TO MAKE AN INQUIRY

ABOUT THE CONDITION
OF THE EWING BABY.

NO, I'M JUST A
FRIEND. OF THE FAMILY.

DO YOU HAVE ANY
IDEA HOW MUCH LONGER

HE'LL BE THERE?

THANK YOU.

I THINK SOMETHING
LIKE THIS WOULD BE NICE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I DON'T KNOW.

I KIND OF LIKE THE
OTHER ONE FOR YOU.

IT'S SIMPLER, MORE ELEGANT.

HMM. MORNING, J.R.

MORNING, GIRLS.

MR. SMITHFIELD'S
HERE WITH MR. BEAM.

ANY CALLS?

MR. AMES AND MR. GARR
CALLED TWICE ALREADY.

THEY STOPPED BY
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, TOO.

THEY CAN WAIT.

GOOD MORNING, J.R.

HARV! HOW YOU DOING?

JUST FINE, THANK YOU.
YOUR DADDY JOINING US?

NO, NO, I'M AFRAID NOT.

WE'VE GOT SOME SICK CATTLE,

AND HE AND BOBBY HAVE
BEEN OUT SINCE DAWN

DOCTORING THEM.

OH, THAT'S TOO BAD.

I WANTED YOU BOTH
TO MEET ALAN BEAM,

THE YOUNG MAN I'VE
BEEN TELLING YOU ABOUT.

WE FINALLY MANAGED
TO COAX HIM AWAY

FROM EGAN IN CHICAGO,

AND I GOT TO TELL YOU,

THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT
ENVIRONMENTAL LAW,

OR ANY KIND OF LAW
FOR THAT MATTER,

THIS BOY DON'T KNOW.

WELL, HARV'S BEEN
EWING OIL'S LAWYER

EVER SINCE THERE'S
BEEN A EWING OIL.

ALWAYS GLAD TO MEET
ANYBODY HE RECOMMENDS.

MY PLEASURE, SIR.

I LOOK FORWARD TO
WORKING WITH YOU.

YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE ME,
IF ANYONE CAN MAKE HASH

OUT OF CLIFF BARNES'
TAIL, THIS BOY CAN.

I'VE BEEN STUDYING
THE PROBLEM, SIR.

HAS SOME VERY
INTERESTING ASPECTS.

I CALL WHAT CLIFF BARNES

IS TRYING TO DO TO MY BUSINESS

SOMETHING STRONGER
THAN INTERESTING.

OH, YES, SIR.

LIKE SHUTTING DOWN PRODUCTION

ON THAT ODESSA WELL,
CLAIMING CONTAMINATION?

MASTERSTROKE.

THIS IS NOT A TENNIS MATCH.

IT'S BUSINESS.

I'VE ALWAYS FOUND, SIR,

BUSINESS OR PLEASURE,

IT PAYS TO GIVE
THE DEVIL HIS DUE.

NOW, I'VE ROUGHED OUT,

SHALL WE SAY, A GAME PLAN.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

YEAH?

Connie: MR. WILLIE
JOE GARR IS CALLING.

TELL HIM I'M BUSY.

WELL, NOW, THIS
LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.

THANK YOU, SIR.

CALL ME J.R. ALL MY FRIENDS DO.

WON'T EVEN TALK TO US.

OH, YES, HE WILL.

ONE WAY OR THE
OTHER, WE'LL MAKE HIM.

WE'LL MAKE HIM TALK TO US.

THEY'RE SO TINY.

[BABIES CRYING]

NURSE, WOULD IT BE ALL RIGHT

IF I GAVE MY NEPHEW HIS BOTTLE?

OH, WELL, I DON'T
KNOW, MRS. EWING.

YOU KNOW, USUALLY
IT'S THE MOTHER

THAT TAKES CARE OF THE BABY.

OH, I KNOW, BUT MY SISTER-IN-LAW

ISN'T FEELING WELL.

IN FACT, SHE PROBABLY
WON'T EVEN BE IN TODAY.

WELL, IT'S NOT USUAL,
BUT... THANK YOU.

[HORSE NEIGHS]

Jock: WELL, I'D PUT MY
MONEY ON ANYBODY

THAT HARV SMITHFIELD RECOMMENDS.

OH, THERE'S NO
DOUBT ABOUT IT, DAD.

THIS BEAM BOY,
HE... HE'S BRIGHT.

HE'S RESEARCHED THE LAW
BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS.

I THINK HE MAY BE ABLE
TO HELP US STOP BARNES.

NO WAY, COUNTING
ON THE LAW, J.R.,

AND YOU CAN JUST
BET CLIFF BARNES

AS GOT A LEGAL TRICK
OR TWO UP HIS SLEEVE.

OH, YEAH, I'M SURE HE HAS,

BUT WE'LL STOP HIM
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER,

UNLESS, OF COURSE, BOB
CAN THINK OF A GOOD REASON

WHY WE SHOULDN'T.

NO, J.R., I... I CAN'T THINK
OF ONE GOOD REASON.

OH, I LOVED THAT.

NOT ME. NOT FOR A WHILE.

WE'LL WAIT AND SEE.

HA HA HA!

I'M NOT GONNA HAVE
ANY CHILDREN YET.

HE'S SUCH A LITTLE CUTIE.

YOU KNOW? SO TINY.

HE'S SO LITTLE. I
CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

FORGET PUTTING HIM
IN THE SUGAR BOWL.

Bobby: WELL, HELLO.

Lucy: HI!

YOU JUST COME FROM THE HOSPITAL?

WE SURE DID.

WELL, HOW'S MY GRANDSON?

HE'S GREAT. SMALL BUT GORGEOUS.

JUST LIKE ANOTHER
EWING I CAN SEE.

THE DOCTOR SAID HE GAINED
AN OUNCE SINCE YESTERDAY.

I'M GONNA GET A SODA.

DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT ANYTHING?

I'LL HAVE THE USUAL.

HOW ABOUT YOU, SUE ELLEN?

JUST CLUB SODA, LUCY.

I'LL GET IT, DARLING. THANK YOU.

SUE ELLEN.

THANK YOU.

DARLING, UH, I WISH
YOU'D TRY AND TAKE

A LITTLE MORE INTEREST

IN... THINGS AND...
INTEREST? IN WHAT?

WELL, TO START WITH, OUR CHILD.

I DON'T THINK HE'S
EXACTLY SUFFERING

FROM LACK OF ATTENTION.

YOU WANTED THAT CHILD SO MUCH,

AND NOW, UH, YOU JUST DON'T

SEEM TO CARE AT ALL.

OF COURSE I DO.

WELL, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT,

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

APPEARANCES CAN
VERY OFTEN BE DECEIVING.

HONEY, I KNOW HOW...
I KNOW HOW HARD

THIS HAS BEEN FOR YOU,

HOW DIFFICULT AT THE TIME IT WAS

TO QUIT DRINKING
AND GO COLD TURKEY,

AND I JUST WANT YOU
TO KNOW THAT, UH,

I ADMIRE YOU FOR IT, SUE ELLEN.

MY DRINKING WAS NEVER A PROBLEM.

I KEPT TRYING TO
TELL EVERYBODY THAT.

AND WHAT I'M SAYING
IS, IF... IF WE TRY,

WE REALLY TRY,

WELL, WE CAN SOLVE
ALL OUR OTHER PROBLEMS,

AND I WANT YOU TO
KNOW I AM GOING TO TRY.

I REALLY AM.

UM, SWEETHEART,
I... I GOT A LITTLE...

I GOT A LITTLE PRESENT FOR YOU

THIS MORNING.

I DROPPED IN A STORE DOWNTOWN,

AND... HEH HEH...
JEWELER CALLS IT

A MATERNITY RING.

YOU BOUGHT ME ONCE, J.R.,

AND YOU CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE.

I AM NO LONGER FOR SALE.

Miss Ellie: EVERYONE'S
BEEN SO BUSY THESE DAYS

THAT WE HARDLY
EVER SEE EACH OTHER

EXCEPT AT DINNER.

AREN'T THOSE, UH,
RATHER LONG HOURS

FOR JOCK, MISS ELLIE?

WELL, JOCK'S NOT A
MAN WHO LIKES BABYING.

AND I DID A LITTLE
TOO MUCH OF THAT

AFTER HIS OPERATION LAST YEAR.

RAY AND BOBBY WILL SEE

THAT HE DOESN'T DO TOO MUCH.

YOU'RE SO SMART,
MISS ELLIE, AND STRONG.

YOU ALWAYS SEEM
TO BE IN CONTROL.

OH, I'VE MADE MY
MISTAKES, SUE ELLEN,

AND I EXPECT TO MAKE MORE.

JUST NOT TOO MANY, I HOPE.

YOU SHOULDN'T BROOD

ABOUT THE PAST, SUE ELLEN.

IT DOESN'T DO MUCH GOOD.

AND YOU HAVE YOUR WHOLE FUTURE

AHEAD OF YOU, AND
FROM WHERE I SIT, IT...

IT LOOKS FINE.

J.R. HASN'T BEHAVED THIS WELL

SINCE HE WAS 6 YEARS OLD.

MAYBE HAVING A CHILD
IS JUST WHAT HE NEEDED.

AND MAYBE IT'S JUST
WHAT YOU NEEDED, TOO.

JOCK AND I HAVE WANTED
ANOTHER GRANDCHILD

FOR A LONG TIME, SUE ELLEN.

YOU'VE MADE US VERY HAPPY.

THERE'S NO DENYING THAT,

BUT, WELL, WE WANT
YOU TO BE HAPPY, TOO.

I AM, MISS ELLIE. VERY.

J.R.'s BEEN JUST WONDERFUL.

MY LITTLE BOY,

HE'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING

I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.

WANT ME TO TAKE YOU TO
THE HOSPITAL, GRANDMA?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

UH, WERE YOU PLANNING TO GO

INTO DALLAS TODAY?

MMM. OF COURSE.

UM, I'LL GO CHANGE,
AND WE CAN LEAVE.

WHAT IS IT, SUE ELLEN?

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YES, I'M... I'M JUST
A LITTLE DIZZY.

I THINK I'LL GO UPSTAIRS
AND REST FOR A WHILE.

WHY DON'T YOU
TWO GO INTO DALLAS?

YOU KNOW, GRANDMA, I
DON'T THINK SUE ELLEN

WANTS TO SEE THE BABY.

OF COURSE SHE DOES.

WELL, PARENTS DON'T
ALWAYS WANT THEIR KIDS.

MINE DIDN'T.

LUCY, THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE.

YES, IT IS.

THEY DIDN'T WANT
ME WHEN I WAS BORN,

AND THEY HAVEN'T
WANTED ME SINCE.

OH, THAT'S WONDERFUL.

I DIDN'T THINK IT
WOULD BE SO SOON.

WELL, HE'S DOING BETTER
THAN WE ALL EXPECTED.

THERE'S NO REASON
TO KEEP HIM LONGER.

YOU CAN TELL HIS MOTHER

TO COME GET HIM TOMORROW.

Lucy: PAM!

HI. I DIDN'T THINK
YOU'D STILL BE HERE.

WELL, GRANDMA JUST COULDN'T

TEAR HERSELF AWAY.

YOU KNOW HOW GRANDPARENTS ARE

ABOUT THEIR GRANDSONS.

YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN
THE WAY I FUSSED

OVER YOU, YOUNG LADY.

HE CAN COME HOME TOMORROW.

TERRIFIC!

HE'S RIGHT UP TO WEIGHT,

AND ALL HIS TESTS ARE FINE.

Woman on P.A.: DR. ROGERS,
CALL YOUR OFFICE.

THAT'S ME THEY WANT.

WILL YOU LADIES EXCUSE ME?

THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

WE'RE GOING TO LUNCH.

GRANDMA'S TAKING
ME TO ANSELMO'S.

YOU WANT TO COME?

OH, I DON'T THINK SO.

WELL, YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE MISSING.

YES, I DO... ABOUT
AN INCH RIGHT THERE.

BYE. BYE.

BYE, PAM.

HI.

[BABY CRYING]

Alan: THE SITE IS PERFECT, J.R.

DRILLING'S BEEN GOING ON

IN THE AREA FOR YEARS NOW

WITH NO ADVERSE EFFECTS.

THE POPULATION'S
FAR ENOUGH REMOVED

NOT TO CARE WHAT GOES ON.

I PROMISE I CAN
DRAFT A FOOLPROOF

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY,

AND IF BARNES REJECTS THIS ONE,

BINGO... ABUSE OF POWER.

YEAH, NOW, MY DADDY
DOESN'T THINK THAT THE LAW

IS THE BEST WAY TO
HANDLE CLIFF BARNES,

BUT YOU MAY BE
RIGHT. YOU KNOW THAT?

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

YEAH!

Connie: MR. AMES AND MR. GARR

ARE HERE TO SEE YOU.

OH, TELL THEM I'M IN A MEETING.

UH, MAKE IT SOME
OTHER TIME, WOULD YOU?

DO YOU WANT ME TO
FORGET... NO, NO, NO.

NO, IT'S... IT'S WORTH A SHOT.

MR. EWING, I'M SORRY.

ALL RIGHT. IT'S
OK, HONEY. GO ON.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU BOYS?

WE'RE BEGINNING
TO GET THE FEELING

YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE US, J.R.

WE WANT TO TALK, J.R.

J.R.: IT MUST BE PRETTY URGENT,

YOU BUSTING IN LIKE THIS,
DISTURBING THE PEACE.

NOT TOO SMART, COUPLE OF BOYS

OUT ON PAROLE,
CREATING A RUCKUS.

IT'S URGENT. AND PRIVATE.

OH, I CAN COME BACK LATER, J.R.

ALL RIGHT, FINE.

KEEP THAT ON THE
BACK BURNER, WILL YOU?

YEP.

EXCUSE ME.

ALL RIGHT. WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WELL, DON'T WE EVEN GET OFFERED

A DRINK FIRST?

I'M PARTIAL WHO I
DRINK WITH NOWADAYS.

[AMES CHUCKLES]

YOU BE REASONABLE, J.R.

WE WERE PROTECTING
YOU AS WELL AS OURSELVES

BY TRYING TO GET
JULIE OUT OF TOWN.

IF SHE'D HAVE TALKED TO BARNES,

YOU'D BEEN FINISHED, TOO.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO KILL HER.

SHE WOULDN'T HAVE SAID ANYTHING.

I'D HAVE SEEN TO THAT.

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
NOW, YOU KNOW THAT.

WELL, NOW, THE WAY I LOOK AT IT,

WHAT HAPPENED WAS AS
MUCH YOUR FAULT AS OURS,

AND WE'VE BEEN DOING
ALL THE PAYING UP TO NOW.

FROM HERE ON IN, IT'S YOUR TURN.

WE NEED MONEY, AND QUICK.

YOU THINK I'M GONNA
GIVE YOU MONEY?

WHAT FOR, OLD TIMES' SAKE?

YOU GOT NOTHING ON ME.

ALL OUR MONEY'S
TIED UP IN LITIGATION.

WE'RE BEING SUED BY
EVERYBODY FOR EVERYTHING.

WE CAN'T PUT OUR
HANDS ON A PENNY

TILL ALL THE SUITS ARE SETTLED.

WELL, YOU BOYS ARE JUST

IN A PECK OF
TROUBLE, AREN'T YOU?

YOU OWE US, J.R.!
YOU OWE US PLENTY!

EVEN IF I HAD THE MONEY,
WHICH I DON'T RIGHT NOW,

I WOULDN'T GIVE YOU A NICKEL.

NOW, COME ON, JUST SHOW ME

HOW DUMB YOU REALLY ARE.

YOU TOUCH A HAIR ON MY HEAD,

I'LL HAVE YOU BACK IN
PRISON BEFORE NIGHTFALL.

NOW, GET OUT OF MY OFFICE.

WE'RE GONNA SEE TO IT

YOU'RE REAL SORRY FOR THIS, J.R.

THE ONLY THING I'M EVER
GONNA BE SORRY FOR

IS IT WASN'T YOU
FELL OFF THAT ROOF

INSTEAD OF JULIE.

NOW, GO ON, GET OUT.

[TIRES SQUEAL]

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

HI, SUE ELLEN.

HELLO, BOBBY. YOU'RE HOME EARLY.

YEAH. I WAS, UH, I WAS GONNA GO

INTO TOWN FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

ACTUALLY, I'M GOING
TO THE HOSPITAL

TO SEE YOUR BABY.

I'D BE, UH, GLAD TO
TAKE YOU IN WITH ME.

THAT'S VERY NICE OF
YOU, BOBBY, BUT, UH...

SUE ELLEN!

YOU CAN'T GO ON LIKE THIS.

LIKE WHAT? I DON'T
KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

AVOIDING ME. UH...

AVOIDING THE THINGS
THAT SHOULD BE

THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS
IN YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND

SOMETHING, BOBBY.

I AM NOT AVOIDING ANYTHING.

I'M JUST FOLLOWING
DOCTOR'S ORDERS...

TRYING TO REST AND GET WELL.

DID YOUR DOCTOR ADVISE
YOU TO IGNORE YOUR BABY,

TO FORGET ABOUT THE PAST?

I DON'T THINK SO, SUE ELLEN.

NOBODY EVER GOT BETTER THAT WAY.

THINGS WON'T DISAPPEAR
BECAUSE YOU PRETEND

THEY DON'T EXIST.

YOU CAN'T WIPE OUT THE PAST

BY DENYING IT HAPPENED.

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME, BOBBY?

I JUST WOULD LIKE
TO SEE YOU HAPPY.

THAT'S ALL.

AND I'D LIKE TO HELP IF I CAN.

THEN LEAVE ME ALONE, PLEASE.

CLIFF!

HELLO.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I'M GOING INSIDE TO SEE MY SON.

I TOLD YOU TO STAY
AWAY FROM SUE ELLEN

AND THE BABY.

YOU PLAN TO START
A BRAWL RIGHT HERE

IN FRONT OF THE HOSPITAL?

IF I HAVE TO, YEAH.

JUST BUTT OUT, BOBBY.

IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

IT'S BETWEEN SUE ELLEN AND ME.

MAYBE IT USED TO
BE, BUT NOT ANYMORE,

AND I'M NOT GONNA SIT AROUND

AND LET YOU CAUSE TROUBLE.

HOW DO INTEND TO STOP IT?

THAT CHILD IN THERE IS MINE.

YOU REALLY DON'T CARE

HOW MANY LIVES
YOU DESTROY, DO YOU,

AS LONG AS YOU
GET WHAT YOU WANT?

HOW MANY EWING LIVES?

NO. NO, I REALLY DON'T.

THEN WHAT ABOUT SUE ELLEN?

I LOVE HER. I WANT BOTH OF THEM,

HER AND THE BABY.

I'M WARNING YOU, CLIFF,

SUE ELLEN CAN'T TAKE
ANY PRESSURE, NOT NOW.

SHE'S NOT WELL ENOUGH.

YOU TRY AND FORCE HER TO CHOOSE

BETWEEN YOU AND J.R.,

AND YOU'RE GONNA
BE DRIVING HER BACK

TO THAT SANITARIUM.

STAY OUT OF MY WAY, BOBBY.

MY BROTHER'S IN THERE.

YOU WANT TO GO IN,
YOU COME THROUGH ME.

I'M NOT GONNA TAKE YOU ON,

NOT HERE, NOT WHEN I CAN'T WIN,

BUT I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I'M GONNA HAVE THEM BOTH,

SUE ELLEN AND THE BABY.

I'LL GET THEM ANY WAY I HAVE TO.

[TIRES SQUEAL]

[TIRES SQUEAL]

THE EWING OIL IMPACT
STUDY ON THE MIDLAND FIELD,

IT'S REJECTED. WHAT?

I WANT FILES ON
THIS... THIS... AND THIS.

CLIFF, I... SHAW,
DON'T ARGUE WITH ME!

JUST DO AS I SAY!

I'M GONNA MAKE THE EWINGS
GIVE BACK EVERYTHING

THAT RIGHTFULLY BELONGS TO ME.

MORNING, DAD.

MORNING, J.R. YOU'RE UP EARLY.

YES, SIR. I GOT AN
EARLY MEETING.

SOME OVERSEAS OIL PEOPLE.

THEY'LL BE LEAVING THE COUNTRY

THIS MORNING.

OH? WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT?

WELL, THERE'S SOME
OIL FIELDS OPENING UP

OFF THE COAST OF ASIA.

I THOUGHT THERE
MIGHT BE SOMETHING IN IT

FOR... FOR THE CARTEL.

I'M NOT SURE YET. I'M...

YEAH. UH, J.R., UH...

HAVE AMES AND GARR MADE ANY MOVE

TO GET BACK INTO THE CARTEL?

NO, SIR. NO, SIR.

THEY'RE PRETTY WELL
TIED UP IN LITIGATION.

KIND OF SHORT OF CAPITAL, TOO,

I UNDERSTAND.

WELL, THE GRAND JURY
SAID IT WAS MANSLAUGHTER,

BUT I CALL IT MURDER.

THEY SHOULD'VE BEEN
PUT AWAY FOR GOOD.

I SAY ONE THING: SURE AS HELL,

I DON'T WANT THEM TO
HAVE ANYTHING TO DO

WITH EWING OIL.

NO, SIR, NEITHER DO I.

[HORSE NEIGHS]

HELLO.

GOOD MORNING.

WHAT YOU DOING UP SO EARLY?

I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

YOU GOT A MINUTE?

WELL, A MINUTE IS
ABOUT ALL I DO HAVE.

[HORSE NEIGHS]

WELL?

IS EVERYTHING GOING OK, BOBBY?

WELL, WE'LL HAVE THINGS
UNDER CONTROL BY TONIGHT,

I THINK, YEAH.

IS THAT WHAT YOU
WANTED TO TALK ABOUT?

I JUST WANTED TO
KNOW IF YOU'RE MAD

AT ME ABOUT ANYTHING
IN PARTICULAR.

OH, HONEY, I'M NOT MAD AT YOU.

NO.

THEN WHY DID YOU
SNAP MY HEAD OFF

EVERY TIME I SAID
SOMETHING LAST NIGHT?

LOOK...

HONEY, IT'S BEEN A
ROUGH COUPLE OF DAYS.

I THINK I'M JUST
TIRED, THAT'S ALL.

IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN
TILL YOU DESERVE IT.

I KNOW YOU BETTER
THAN THAT, BOBBY.

CAN'T YOU TELL ME WHAT'S
REALLY BOTHERING YOU?

HONEY, THIS BARNES
AND EWING FEUD,

IT KEEPS MAKING IT MORE AND MORE

DIFFICULT FOR US TO BE HONEST

WITH ONE ANOTHER.

IT IS COMPLICATED.

BETWEEN CLIFF, J.R., THE BABY,

I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO SAY.

I KNOW.

CLIFF WAS AT THE
HOSPITAL AGAIN YESTERDAY.

SO THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

YEAH. AND I WARNED
HIM TO STAY AWAY

FROM BOTH OF THEM...

FROM SUE ELLEN AND THE BABY.

HE WILL, BOBBY.

HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND
YET HOW FRAGILE SUE ELLEN IS.

AS SOON AS HE UNDERSTANDS,
HE WON'T WANT TO MAKE IT

ANY WORSE FOR HER.

HONEY, I EXPLAINED
ALL THAT TO HIM

IN GREAT DETAIL,
AND IT DIDN'T MAKE

AN IMPRESSION ON HIM.

NOW, HE'S OUT TO MAKE TROUBLE,

AND A LOT OF IT.

HE WON'T. AND WE WON'T LET HIM!

SAYING SOMETHING LIKE THAT

AND DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT

ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS,

BUT WHY DON'T YOU TALK TO HIM?

YOU TELL HIM THAT
IF HE COMES NEAR,

COMES NEAR SUE
ELLEN AND THAT BABY,

THEN I'M GONNA TAKE HIM APART.

TELL HIM J.R. AND I'LL MAKE

A SCANDAL SO BIG,
IT'LL RUIN HIM FOREVER.

EWING NAME GOES THROUGH THE MUD,

CLIFF BARNES GOES
RIGHT ALONG WITH IT.

[HORSE WHINNIES]

DO YOU WANT ME TO
TAKE, UH, SUE ELLEN

TO THE HOSPITAL TODAY?

I DON'T THINK SHE OUGHT
TO DRIVE FOR A WHILE.

YOUR MOTHER SAID SHE
HAD A DIZZY SPELL YESTERDAY.

WELL, I'M GONNA COME
BACK AND PICK HER UP.

BY THE TIME YOU
GET HOME TONIGHT,

YOUR GRANDSON IS
GONNA BE IN THIS HOUSE.

THAT'S GREAT.

YOU AND, UH, SUE ELLEN
GETTING ALONG OK?

WELL, I'M TRYING, DAD.

I'M TRYING.

I KNOW YOU ARE. KEEP IT UP.

TRUCK'S READY.

YOU WANT TO GO NOW?

YEAH, I GUESS SO, BOBBY.

SEE YOU, J.R.

DADDY. SAY, UH, BOB,

HOW MANY HEAD WE STAND TO LOSE?

WELL, IT'S NOT TOO BAD.

WE LOST ABOUT A DOZEN CALVES,

BUT WE CAUGHT IT IN TIME.

WELL, THAT'S SOMETHING, ANYWAY.

YEAH.

MMM.

[WHISTLING AND WHOOPING]

Jock: GET THEM ON IN, BOYS!

YOU OK, JOCK?

YEAH. NEVER FELT
BETTER IN MY LIFE.

WELL, I GUESS YOU
GOT GOOD REASON

TO FEEL THAT WAY.

YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT.

BRINGING A GRANDSON
OF MINE HOME TODAY.

LET'S HEAD ON IN.

YOU BET.

SENORA, WOULD YOU LIKE SOME TEA?

THANK YOU, THERESA.

YOU'RE FEELING BETTER?

A LITTLE.

SUE ELLEN, DARLING,
HOW YOU DOING?

HELLO, J.R.

SAY, I THINK YOU
OUGHT TO GET CHANGED.

REAL ANXIOUS TO GO INTO DALLAS

AND PICK UP THAT BOY OF OURS.

I DON'T THINK I'LL BE ABLE

TO GO WITH YOU, J.R.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T GO?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND, DARLING.

YOU SEE, I'VE HAD THIS
HORRIBLE HEADACHE

ALL MORNING, AND
I THOUGHT THE SUN

WOULD HELP, BUT IT HASN'T.

UH, SUE ELLEN, WAIT A MINUTE.

HOLD IT.

DARLING... WAIT. LOOK.

SUE ELLEN, I DON'T
THINK IT'S ASKING

AN AWFUL LOT.

J.R., TRY AND BE
A LITTLE PATIENT.

SEEMS TO ME I'VE BEEN
QUITE PATIENT, MOTHER.

SUE ELLEN,

YOU ARE GETTING DRESSED,
AND YOU'RE COMING

INTO DALLAS WITH ME.

I TOLD YOU I CAN'T!

WON'T IS MORE LIKE IT.

NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHO
YOU'RE TRYING TO FOOL

WITH THESE PHONY HEADACHES
AND FAKE DIZZY SPELLS,

BUT YOU'RE NOT
FOOLING ME, HONEY.

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU,

AND YOU KNOW IT.

AM NOT WILLING
TO PUT UP WITH ONE

OF YOUR SCENES, J.R.

DR. CRANE TOLD
ME TO REMAIN CALM.

WELL, DR. CRANE'S BEEN SAYING

A LOT OF THINGS RECENTLY,
NONE OF WHICH CONCERN ME.

NOW, ALL I CARE ABOUT
IS THAT YOU START ACTING

LIKE A WIFE AND A MOTHER.

I AM DOING THE BEST I CAN.

WELL, IT'S JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

NOW, YOU GOT MY
MOTHER AND MY FATHER...

AS A MATTER OF FACT,
EVERYBODY IN THIS HOUSEHOLD

WONDERING WHAT IS WRONG,

WHY YOU SEEM
INCAPABLE OF DISPLAYING

ANY KIND OF NORMAL
MATERNAL FEELINGS.

DON'T YOU HAVE ANY
SENSE OF WHAT'S PROPER?

THAT IS REAL GOOD
COMING FROM YOU, J.R.

REAL GOOD.

WELL, I'M NOT GONNA HAVE
THIS CONVERSATION TURNED

INTO A DISCUSSION
OF MY BEHAVIOR.

IT'S YOU I'M WORRIED
ABOUT, HONEY.

HERE. PICK OUT
SOMETHING REAL NICE,

AND WE'LL GO TO DALLAS.

NOW, ARE YOU GONNA GET DRESSED

OR AM I GONNA HAVE
TO DO IT FOR YOU?

WHAT DO YOU INTEND TO DO,

DRAG ME OUT OF THIS HOUSE

YELLING AND SCREAMING?

I THINK I CAN RELY
ON YOU NOT TO MAKE

TOO MUCH OF A SCENE.

I'LL GET DRESSED.

GOOD.

[DOOR CLOSES]

WELL, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

MR. EWING, HAVE YOU ANY COMMENT

TO MAKE AT THIS TIME?

I DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENT.

I'M JUST HERE TO
PICK UP MY CHILD.

Man: MR. EWING, WOULD YOU COME

WITH ME, PLEASE?

WHO ARE YOU?

LIEUTENANT SIMPSON,
DALLAS POLICE.

WELL, NOW, WHAT'S GOING
ON HERE, LIEUTENANT?

I'M SORRY TO HAVE TO BE THE ONE

TO TELL YOU THIS, SIR, MA'AM.

YOUR BABY'S BEEN KIDNAPPED.

[ALL TALKING AT ONCE]

A RED LIGHT, AND A
POLICEMAN'S ALWAYS...

I KNOW. THERE'S BEEN
A ROOM SET ASIDE

FOR OUR USE.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHO OR WHY?

SO FAR NOBODY'S SEEN OR HEARD

ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

Man: MR. EWING, MRS. EWING,

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW SORRY I AM.

NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS
EVER HAPPENED BEFORE.

WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS
WHY IT HAPPENED THIS TIME.

Simpson: WE'RE DOING OUR BEST

TO FIND THAT OUT, SIR,
AND RECOVER YOUR SON.

SO IF YOU'LL JUST
STEP THIS WAY, PLEASE.

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.

I HAVE TO LET MY FAMILY
KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

DARLING, YOU GO WITH
LIEUTENANT SIMPSON.

I'LL BE ALONG IN JUST
A MINUTE, ALL RIGHT?

NOW, IS THAT REALLY NECESSARY?

WOULD YOU GET RID OF THEM?

I DON'T WANT THIS
TURNING INTO A CIRCUS.

WHY DON'T YOU COME
WITH ME, PLEASE?

IS THERE A PHONE I
CAN USE AROUND HERE?

OF COURSE, MR. EWING.
RIGHT IN THERE.

Theresa: SENORA, TELEFONO.

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE, THERESA.

HELLO.

MAMA?

J.R., WHAT'S HAPPENED?

DR. SAMUELS CALLED
RIGHT AFTER YOU LEFT,

BUT HE WOULDN'T TELL
ME WHAT HE WANTED.

IS THE BABY ALL RIGHT?

MAMA, THE BABY'S MISSING.

HE'S BEEN KIDNAPPED.

OH, NO, J.R. THERE
MUST BE A MISTAKE.

NO, NO, NO MISTAKE, MAMA.

HE'S GONE.

HOW?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

NOBODY SEEMS TO
KNOW ANYTHING YET.

NOW, YOU BETTER TELL DAD AND...

AND TELL EVERYBODY.

NOBODY KNOWS WHO OR WHY.

I THINK WE ALL BETTER
BE VERY CAREFUL.

I'LL... I'LL HAVE LUCY
AND PAM BROUGHT HOME.

YEAH, YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

GOOD-BYE, MAMA.

BYE.

OH.

OH.

OHH.

OH, NO.

Announcer: TO BE CONTINUED.
