Dallas (1978–1991): Season 3, Episode 25 - A House Divided - full transcript
J.R.'s friends, family, and business associates have had enough of his dirty dealings, and many of them vow revenge. Bobby is especially angry as he and Pam leave Southfork.
IT WAS CROOKED, AND I
BELIEVE YOU KNEW THAT.
YOU'LL REGRET THIS.
IS THAT A THREAT, VAUGHN?
A PROMISE.
I'VE PUT UP WITH ALL THE
WHEELING AND DEALING
AND BACKSTABBING
THAT I'M GOING TO.
WE LEAVE IN THE MORNING.
YOU'RE A DRUNK
AND AN UNFIT MOTHER.
THE SOONER WE HAVE YOU
PUT AWAY IN THAT SANITARIUM,
THE BETTER OFF YOU'RE GONNA BE.
HE'S GOT TO BE STOPPED.
I CAN'T RELY ON ANYONE
ELSE TO DO WHAT I HAVE TO DO.
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
NOW YOU PEOPLE GOT YOUR STORY.
I'VE GOT WORK TO DO.
Woman: ONE MORE QUESTION, SIR.
DID EWING OIL INVEST ALL OF
ITS CAPITAL IN THOSE LEASES,
AND DOES NATIONALIZATION MEAN
THE END OF THE EWING EMPIRE?
I THINK MY SON
BETTER ANSWER THAT.
WELL, THANK YOU, DAD.
THAT'S REALLY 2
QUESTIONS, BUT...
YES, WE DIVERSIFIED, IF THAT'S
WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW.
WHAT ARE YOUR OTHER
INVESTMENTS, MR. EWING?
I CAN'T REVEAL
THAT AT THIS TIME.
BUT WE WERE ABLE TO
GET INTO ANOTHER DEAL
BEFORE THEY
NATIONALIZED THE WELLS.
DID YOU SUFFER ANY LOSSES?
WELL, YES.
EWING OIL SUFFERED
QUITE A FEW LOSSES.
BUT WE'RE STILL IN BUSINESS.
I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT.
MR. EWING, I...
THAT'S REALLY ALL I
CAN TALK ABOUT TODAY.
THANK YOU FOR COMING.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
GENTLEMEN AND LADIES, I
APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TODAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THAT'S ALL I CAN TALK ABOUT.
Woman: THANK YOU, MR. EWING.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
EWING OIL. PLEASE HOLD.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
THEY WERE HERE WHEN
I GOT IN THIS MORNING.
I HEARD IT ON THE
RADIO COMING IN.
HI, GENTLEMEN. EXCUSE ME.
EXCUSE ME, BOBBY.
J.R. AND YOUR DADDY ARE INSIDE.
NOTHING RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU.
YEAH, I THOUGHT
IT WAS GOOD, DAD.
THOUGHT IT WENT WELL.
YOU TWO SEEM TO BE
TAKING ALL THIS PRETTY WELL.
WELL, I'M HAPPY TO REPORT
THAT EWING OIL COMPANY
IS WELL AND ALIVE,
THANKS TO J.R.
TELL HIM.
YEAH.
A COUPLE DAYS AGO, I HAD A
CHANCE TO SELL 75% OF OUR HOLDINGS
FOR $10 MILLION A POINT.
SOMEBODY'S LOOKING
AFTER US, BOY.
ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME
EWING OIL JUST GOT LUCKY?
WELL, I HAD A CHANCE TO GET
INVOLVED IN A PRETTY BIG DEAL,
A CHANCE TO BUY INTO SOME
GAS FIELDS ON THE EAST COAST.
DAD AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT IT FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW,
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
THOSE OLD BOYS JUST
WOULDN'T SPEAK TO ME
UNLESS I HAD CASH IN MY HAND.
WHO BOUGHT THE LEASES?
UH, WELL, VAUGHN
LELAND WAS ONE OF 'EM.
ABOUT TIME THAT OLD
BARRACUDA GOT HIS COMEUPPANCE.
NO. COME ON, J.R.
DON'T MAKE FUN
OF A MAN'S MISERY.
WHO ELSE, J.R.?
OH, SAME OLD BOYS BEEN TRYING TO
GET IN ON THIS DEAL FROM THE BEGINNING.
THE BOYS IN THE CARTEL?
YEAH. YEAH, YOU KNOW, ANDY
BRADLEY, JORDAN LEE, SETH STONE.
THE BUSINESS IS A GAMBLE.
THEY KNOW THAT, BOBBY.
DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS, DADDY?
WHY WEREN'T WE TOLD, J.R.?
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO CLEAR IT
WITH US BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING!
WELL, YOU ALL WERE
UP IN COLORADO.
I DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR
THAT. I HAD TO MOVE FAST.
GOOD THING I DID, TOO, BOB.
DO YOU BELIEVE WHAT HE'S SAYING?
BOBBY, ARE YOU
CALLING ME A LIAR?
YOU MUST BE MIGHTY PROUD, J.R.
YOU MUST BE ON TOP OF THE WORLD.
JORDAN, I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.
IS THAT RIGHT?
YOU TELL ME HOW I FEEL, AND
I'LL TELL YOU A FEW THINGS.
Jock: NOW, JUST HOLD IT, JORDAN.
J.R. DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THE NATIONALIZATION.
THE HELL HE DIDN'T!
MONTHS AGO, WE BEGGED
HIM TO GET IN ON THAT DEAL.
HE WOULDN'T EVEN RESPOND
TO OUR TELEPHONE CALLS.
THEN, SUDDENLY, HE'S
READY TO SELL IMMEDIATELY.
JORDAN, I TOLD YOU I NEEDED
THAT CASH FOR OTHER DEALS.
YOU KNEW THOSE WELLS
WERE GONNA BE WORTHLESS,
AND YOU SUCKERED YOUR
FRIENDS INTO BUYING THE LEASES.
NOW, HOLD ON A MINUTE, JORDAN.
WE TOOK QUITE A BEATING
ON THAT OURSELVES.
WE STILL OWN 25%
OF THOSE LEASES.
WE LOST $250 MILLION,
NOT TO MENTION
OUR ROYALTIES ON YOUR SHARE.
NOW, WHY WOULD I DO
THAT IF I KNEW ABOUT IT?
TO MAKE IT LOOK GOOD, J.R.
COME ON, JORDAN.
YOU KNOW THIS BUSINESS.
IT'S A CRAPSHOOT.
SOMETIMES YOU WIN,
AND SOMETIMES YOU LOSE.
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE
PLAYING WITH LOADED DICE.
Jock: YOU GAMBLED, AND YOU
LOST. THAT'S THE BUSINESS.
NOW, YOU'VE MADE A LOT
OF MONEY WITH US BEFORE,
AND YOU'LL MAKE A LOT AGAIN.
WE ALWAYS TAKE
CARE OF OUR FRIENDS.
YOU KNOW THAT.
WELL, I'M HAPPY TO HEAR
THAT, JOCK, REAL HAPPY.
I'LL BE SURE TO PASS THAT INFORMATION
ALONG TO SETH STONE'S WIDOW.
SHE'LL BE REAL HAPPY
TO HEAR THAT, TOO.
WHAT THE HELL ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?
SETH KILLED HIMSELF
THIS MORNING.
TV Announcer: AND WASHINGTON DOES
NOT BELIEVE THAT THE NATIONALIZATION
POSES ANY THREAT TO THE
SECURITY OF THE UNITED STATES.
ON THE LOCAL SCENE, WE HAVE
AN UPDATE ON THE EWING OIL STORY.
CONTRARY TO EARLIER REPORTS,
EWING OIL WILL NOT SUFFER A MAJOR LOSS.
IN A PRESS CONFERENCE
THIS MORNING,
J.R. EWING TOLD THIS
REPORTER THAT THE COMPANY
SOLD MOST OF ITS OIL HOLDINGS
A SHORT TIME BEFORE THE OIL
INDUSTRY WAS NATIONALIZED.
A SAD SIDE TO THIS STORY,
ONE OF THE LEASEHOLDERS,
POPULAR DALLAS
OIL MAN SETH STONE,
COMMITTED SUICIDE THIS MORNING.
APPARENTLY, MR. STONE HAD
RECENTLY TIED UP MOST OF HIS ASSETS
IN THE NATIONALIZED WELLS.
HE LEAVES HIS WIDOW, MARILEE.
OH, MY GOD, J.R.
WELL, AS PRESS CONFERENCES
GO, I WAS PRETTY HAPPY WITH THAT.
I THOUGHT WE CAME
OFF PRETTY WELL. YEAH.
Louella, on intercom: J.R.,
MARILEE STONE CALLED AGAIN.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
OK, THANK YOU.
Louella: I'M SORRY.
YOU CAN'T GO IN THERE!
YOU BETTER START
TALKING... FAST!
VAUGHN, ALL I CAN
SAY IS I AM SORRY.
SORRY WILL NOT DO!
I WANT AN EXPLANATION, AN
APOLOGY, AND RESTITUTION.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
TO APOLOGIZE FOR,
AND THE EXPLANATION'S
VERY SIMPLE.
YOU GAMBLED, AND YOU LOST.
AND AS FOR RESTITUTION...
Jock: NOT A NICKEL, NOT A PENNY.
THAT WAS A FAIR DEAL, VAUGHN.
J.R. KNEW ABOUT
THAT NATIONALIZATION.
YOU CHEATED US!
YOU LIED TO US!
HAVE YOU GOT ANY PROOF?
NOT YET, BUT I'LL GET IT.
WELL, UNTIL YOU DO, YOU
BETTER BE DAMNED CAREFUL
WHO YOU'RE CALLING
A CHEAT AND A LIAR!
HOW DO YOU STAND ON THIS?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK, VAUGHN.
THE EWINGS ARE A FAMILY.
I WANT THAT MONEY BACK.
I BORROWED $20 MILLION
FROM A BANK IN FORT WORTH.
I USED MY SHARE OF THOSE
LEASES AS COLLATERAL,
AND NOW I'M WIPED OUT.
THERE IS NO WAY I
CAN REPAY THAT LOAN.
JOCK, YOU AND I KNOW
EACH OTHER A LONG TIME.
WE GO BACK A LONG WAYS.
$20 MILLION.
YOU GOT TO HELP ME!
APPEARS TO ME THAT I CAME
TO SEE YOU NOT TOO LONG AGO.
I WAS ABOUT TO LOSE SOUTHFORK.
ALL I WANTED WAS AN
EXTENSION ON THE LOAN.
"DEAL'S A DEAL," YOU
SAID. I BELIEVED IT THEN.
I BELIEVE IT NOW.
IT WAS CROOKED, AND I
BELIEVE YOU KNEW THAT.
YOU'LL REGRET THIS.
IS THAT A THREAT, VAUGHN?
NO THREAT. A PROMISE.
I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS IF
IT'S THE LAST THING I DO.
OH, HE'S YOUR BOY
ALL RIGHT, JOCK.
CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK.
AND I KNOW WHAT I'M
GONNA DO WITH HIM.
I THINK THE BEST THING YOU CAN
DO IS GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
DID YOU KNOW HE HAD
TO BORROW THAT MONEY?
WELL, HOW WOULD I
KNOW ABOUT THAT?
BOBBY, EVERYTHING
WAS HAPPENING SO FAST.
I ONLY GAVE HIM 24 HOURS
TO RAISE THE MONEY.
I DIDN'T ASK ANY QUESTIONS.
I THINK VAUGHN'S RIGHT.
I THINK YOU KNEW ABOUT
THAT NATIONALIZATION
AND YOU DUMPED THOSE
LEASES ON OUR FRIENDS.
YOU HAVE A VERY
RICH IMAGINATION.
DO I?
HOW LONG YOU AND DADDY
BEEN TALKING ABOUT INVESTING
IN THOSE EAST COAST GAS FIELDS?
ABOUT A YEAR, YEAR AND A HALF.
AND JUST BEFORE THE ASIAN
WELLS ARE NATIONALIZED,
YOU FINALLY DECIDE TO MOVE?
YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
WHAT'D YOU DO, J.R.?
CONSULT A PSYCHIC?
HOLD IT, BOBBY.
J.R., I WANT TO ASK
YOU A QUESTION,
AND I'M GONNA ASK IT JUST ONCE,
AND YOU'RE GONNA ANSWER IT,
AND THEN WE'RE NEVER
GONNA MENTION IT AGAIN.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THOSE WELLS
WERE GOING TO BE NATIONALIZED?
NO, SIR.
I SWEAR IT.
I'D NEVER HAVE DONE ANYTHING
LIKE THAT TO MY FRIENDS.
CYPRIPEDIUM IS THE PROPER
NAME OF THE TEMPERATE ORCHID
COMMONLY CALLED LADY-SLIPPERS.
HA HA!
IT'S BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU.
GREG, A GREAT NEW DISCO
JUST OPENED UP BY LOOP 12.
LUCY, I'M NOT MUCH OF A DANCER.
WELL, I COULD TEACH YOU.
I'M TERRIFIC.
I'M SURE YOU ARE.
BUT I'VE TRIED.
I'D JUST EMBARRASS
THE BOTH OF US.
GREG, IS THERE SOMEONE ELSE?
LUCY, OF COURSE NOT.
WELL, THEN WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
I DIDN'T KNOW THERE
WAS A PROBLEM.
ISN'T THERE?
ALL OUR DATES CONSIST OF WALKING
THROUGH THE PARK AND LUNCHES.
LUCY, YOU'RE MY STUDENT.
IS THAT ALL I AM TO YOU?
NO.
YOU HAVE A FUNNY
WAY OF SHOWING IT.
LUCY.
HI, KRISTIN.
GOOD MORNING.
INTERESTING, ISN'T IT?
THAT'S OLD NEWS.
IT'S BEEN ON THE TV, RADIO.
J.R. WASN'T HURT.
HE SOLD THOSE LEASES.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT? WHEN?
COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
I'VE HAD GUESTS.
LISTEN.
Man, on recorder: J.R. FINALLY
LET US IN ON THE ASIAN DEAL.
I'M GONNA BE A RICH MAN.
Kristin, on recorder: HOW COME?
Man: SAYS HE NEEDS THE CASH.
SOME NEW DEAL IN THE WORKS.
WHO IS THAT?
ONE OF THE CARTEL
MEMBERS... ANDY BRADLEY.
J.R. MUST HAVE HAD
ADVANCE INFORMATION
THOSE WELLS WOULD
BE NATIONALIZED.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE
THAT OUT ALL MORNING.
MAYBE HANK JOHNSON
TIPPED HIM OFF.
WHO'S HANK JOHNSON?
J.R.'s MAN IN THE FAR EAST.
HE WAS IN CHARGE
OF THE OIL WELLS.
WHO BOUGHT THE LEASES?
WHO ELSE?
J.R.'s CLOSEST FRIENDS
AND ASSOCIATES.
I BET THOSE FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES
WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED TO KNOW
IF J.R. HAD BEEN
WARNED IN ADVANCE.
THEY'D STRING HIM UP.
AND I BET J.R. WOULD PAY PLENTY
TO KEEP THEM FROM KNOWING.
WE HAVE NO PROOF.
J.R.'s TOO SMART FOR THAT.
HE COVERED HIS TRACKS.
MAYBE NOT.
MAYBE NOT.
SEE IF YOU CAN GET HANK
JOHNSON ON THE PHONE.
OVERSEAS OPERATOR, PLEASE.
Bobby: HELLO, MAMA.
HELLO, BOBBY.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
PAM TRIED TO REACH YOU AT THE
OFFICE, BUT SHE'S ALREADY LEFT.
IS SHE ALL RIGHT?
SHE'S FINE.
SHE'S DECIDED TO FLY TO
CORPUS CHRISTI AFTER ALL.
I WAS AFRAID OF THAT.
SHE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
MAMA, I THINK SHE'S RUSHING
INTO THIS WHOLE THING TOO FAST.
WELL, I CAN UNDERSTAND HER
NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HER FAMILY.
NONE OF US... NONE OF US
KNEW REBECCA VERY WELL.
YES, BUT SHE'S COMPULSIVE,
ALMOST OBSESSED WITH IT.
I DON'T THINK SHE REALIZES SHE'S
STILL IN SHOCK FROM DIGGER'S DEATH.
I KNOW.
BUT I THINK IT WOULD DO
HER MORE HARM THAN GOOD
IF YOU TRIED TO STOP HER.
WELL, I DON'T HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT THAT NOW, DO I?
HOW YOU FEELING?
RIDICULOUS, EMBARRASSED,
AND, UM, HUNG OVER.
WHY DON'T YOU
GET A CUP OF COFFEE
AND TAKE IT EASY
THE REST OF THE DAY?
I BARELY REMEMBER WHAT
HAPPENED YESTERDAY.
A BAR, SOME COWBOYS... IT'S
REALLY ALL KIND OF A BLUR TO ME.
WAS I REALLY IN ALL THAT DANGER?
ALL I KNOW IS THAT NOW
J.R. HAS ENOUGH AMMUNITION
TO PUT ME AWAY FOR GOOD.
NO, HE WON'T.
OF COURSE HE WILL.
BOBBY, LOOK WHAT
HE DID TO SETH STONE.
WHAT CHANCE DO I HAVE?
I'LL STOP HIM.
BUT YOU HAVE TO HELP, SUE
ELLEN. YOU HAVE TO STOP DRINKING.
BOBBY, WHEN I TOLD YOU
BEFORE THAT I WASN'T DRINKING,
I WAS TELLING YOU THE TRUTH.
BUT THEN, SOMETHING HAPPENED.
I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT.
BUT IT WAS A SHOCK...
AND I STARTED DRINKING AGAIN.
BUT I PROMISE YOU THAT I WON'T
TAKE ANOTHER DRINK AGAIN...
EVER.
I HOPE YOU MEAN IT.
WHY DON'T YOU GO IN
THE DEN AND SEE MAMA?
SHE'D LIKE THAT.
OH, NO.
I CAN'T FACE HER, NOT AFTER
THE WAY I DISGRACED MYSELF.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO FACE HER SOMETIME.
DO IT NOW.
OK.
YEAH?
Louella: HANK JOHNSON ON 2.
PUT HIM ON.
HELLO, HANK.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
I'M SENDING THE STUFF.
BUT I'M AS MAD AS HELL!
YOU WANT IT DESTROYED,
YOU GOT TO TRUST ME TO DO IT.
AND ANOTHER THING.
WHY IN HELL DID YOU TELL KRISTIN
WHAT'S GOING ON?
THIS IS SUPPOSED
TO BE BETWEEN US.
HEY, NOW HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND A
WORD OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
KRISTIN DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING,
AND WHAT STUFF ARE YOU SENDING?
JUST TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON.
THE RECORDS, THE RECEIPTS.
YOU WANT THEM
DESTROYED, I CAN DO IT.
BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU, I DON'T
APPRECIATE BEING TREATED LIKE A CLERK.
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE
RECORDS OF YOUR LAST TRIP TO DALLAS?
KRISTIN CALLED ME.
SHE SAID YOU WANTED TO
DESTROY ALL THE RECORDS,
THAT I SHOULD SEND THEM
TO THE CONDO BY COURIER.
THERE'S BEEN A MISTAKE, HANK.
I WANT YOU TO
DESTROY THAT STUFF.
BURN IT, SHRED IT, GET
RID OF IT ANY WAY YOU CAN.
HANK, GET BACK TO YOUR
HOTEL. WAIT FOR MY CALL.
YOU DID THE RIGHT
THING CALLING ME, HANK.
TALK TO YOU LATER.
DR. ELLBY, I BARELY REMEMBER
THE BAR OR WHO I WAS WITH.
SUE ELLEN, YOU'RE STARTING
TO BLACK OUT WHEN YOU DRINK.
IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
I'M NOT GONNA TAKE
ANOTHER DRINK EVER,
AND J.R.'s NOT GONNA PUT ME
BACK INTO FLETCHER SANITARIUM.
BOBBY TOLD ME HE'D STOP J.R.
NOW YOU'RE RELYING
ON BOBBY TO HELP YOU.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THAT?
IT'S THE SAME OLD PATTERN.
YOU'RE GIVING CONTROL OVER
YOUR LIFE TO SOMEONE ELSE.
YOU'RE PUTTING YOUR
WELFARE INTO BOBBY'S HANDS.
I TRUST HIM.
MORE THAN YOU TRUST YOURSELF.
YES.
Pam: COULD YOU
WAIT FOR ME, PLEASE?
PLEASE, MA'AM, MAY I
TALK TO YOU FOR A MINUTE?
DO YOU LIVE AROUND HERE?
MOST OF MY LIFE.
WELL, MY NAME'S PAMELA EWING,
AND I'M TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE
WHO USED TO LIVE AROUND HERE.
MAYBE YOU REMEMBER
HER. REBECCA BARNES?
REBECCA BARNES. MY
MEMORY AIN'T TOO GOOD.
WAS SHE YOUR MAMA?
YES.
OH. WAIT A MINUTE.
WHY, I SEE THE RESEMBLANCE.
SHE HAD A LITTLE
BOY... MAYBE 5, MAYBE 6.
MY BROTHER CLIFF.
DON'T REMEMBER NO GIRL.
YEAH. SHE WAS PREGNANT.
BIG WITH IT SHE WAS.
SHE WAS CARRYING ME.
PLEASE, DON'T YOU
REMEMBER ANYTHING MORE?
WELL, WAIT.
ONE CHRISTMAS, I WENT TO
VISIT MY BROTHER IN GALVESTON.
I STAYED A FEW WEEKS, COME
BACK, AND SHE WAS GONE.
JUST MY MAMA?
NO, THE WHOLE FAMILY... GONE.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE?
NOBODY KNEW.
I ASKED, BUT NOBODY KNEW.
I GOT TO GO NOW.
THANK YOU, AGAIN.
SHE WAS A NICE WOMAN,
AND BEAUTIFUL LIKE YOU.
GOT SOMETHING TO TELL ME?
LOOK, J.R., I'M IN A HURRY.
START TALKING, HONEY.
WHAT IS THIS?
I WANT SOME ANSWERS FROM YOU.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
ALL RIGHT, FINE.
I'LL GIVE YOU A HINT.
HANK JOHNSON JUST CALLED ME.
UH, I DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT, J.R.
ALAN MADE ME.
HE THREATENED TO TELL JOCK
ABOUT OUR... OUR LOVE AFFAIR.
I WAS ONLY PROTECTING YOU.
YOU THINK YOU'RE
GONNA BLACKMAIL ME?
YOU AND ALAN BEAM?
YOU'RE OUT OF
YOUR LEAGUE, HONEY.
YOU'RE GONNA BE SORRY YOU
EVER EVEN THOUGHT OF THAT.
YOU CAN'T SCARE ME.
IT TAKES BRAINS TO KNOW
WHEN TO BE SCARED, HONEY,
AND SINCE THAT'S SOMETHING
IN SHORT SUPPLY AROUND HERE,
I'M GONNA HELP YOU.
NOW IS THE TIME TO BE SCARED.
I UNDERSTAND IT'S BEAUTIFUL
WEATHER DOWN IN RIO THIS TIME OF YEAR.
YOU PUT ON ONE OF THOSE
PRETTY LITTLE STRING BIKINIS
YOU OUGHT TO LAST AT LEAST A YEAR WITH
ONE OF THOSE RICH BRAZILIAN BUSINESSMEN.
ONE DAY, SOMEBODY'S
GONNA STOP YOU,
AND I HOPE I'M
THERE TO WATCH IT.
NO WAY YOU CAN BUY ME OFF.
WE'LL SEE.
DID YOU FIND WHAT
YOU WERE LOOKING FOR?
NO, I DIDN'T.
ARE YOU SURE THERE ARE NO MORE
RECORDS OF DEATH CERTIFICATES?
YOU'VE SEEN THEM ALL.
IF SHE DIED IN CORPUS
CHRISTI, YOU WOULD'VE FOUND IT.
THANK YOU.
THAT'S THE BEST NEWS
I'VE HAD IN A LONG TIME.
YOU GAVE ME QUITE A
SURPRISE THIS EVENING.
OH?
YOU MANAGED TO MAINTAIN
A CERTAIN DECORUM.
SORRY TO DISAPPOINT
YOU, DARLING.
WHAT?
YOU EXPECTED ME TO BE EMBARRASSED IN
FRONT OF YOUR FAMILY TONIGHT AT DINNER.
WELL, I WASN'T, WAS I? I
WAS THE PERFECT LADY...
CHARMING, WITTY, AND SOBER.
I SWEAR, YOU'RE HEADING AT 90 MILES AN
HOUR TOWARDS A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THOSE RAVINGS OF YOURS.
NO, J.R., I AM NOT RAVING.
I AM NOT DRUNK.
I AM JUST FINE,
AND YOU'RE NOT GONNA PUT
ME BACK INTO THAT SANITARIUM.
WHO'S GONNA STOP ME?
BOBBY'S GONNA STOP YOU.
HE'S NOT GONNA LET
YOU PUT ME AWAY.
I WOULDN'T COUNT ON THAT.
YOU KNOW I ALWAYS
GET WHAT I WANT.
TELL ME, J.R., WHICH SLUT ARE
YOU GOING TO STAY WITH TONIGHT?
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
WHOEVER IT IS HAS GOT
TO BE MORE INTERESTING
THAN THE SLUT I'M
LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW.
Louella: J.R., CLIFF BARNES
IS HERE TO SEE YOU.
TELL HIM I'M BUSY.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, LOUELLA.
MR. BARNES, WHAT
BRINGS YOU HERE?
OPEN IT.
WHY DO I HAVE THE FEELING
THIS IS NOT A SOCIAL CALL?
OPEN IT.
CLIFF, WHY DON'T
YOU GET OUT OF HERE?
ALL RIGHT, WE CAN DO IT NOW,
OR WE CAN DO IT LATER IN COURT.
READ IT... OUT LOUD.
I WANT TO HEAR YOU SAY IT.
IT'S A FORGERY.
REALLY?
WELL, ACCORDING TO
THESE EXPERTS, NO.
READ IT SO BOBBY CAN HEAR IT.
"IT IS HEREBY AGREED THAT
ALL REVENUES AND PROFITS
"IN THE OIL FIELD NOW
KNOWN AS EWING 23
"WILL BE SHARED EQUALLY BY
JOHN EWING AND WILLARD BARNES
AND THEIR HEIRS IN PERPETUITY."
DON'T BOTHER TEARING
IT UP. IT'S A PHOTOCOPY.
I OPENED THAT FIELD MYSELF.
MM-HMM. SO YOU DID.
WELL, IF THIS IS
LEGAL... IF IT'S LEGAL?
BOBBY, I'M A LAWYER. IT'S LEGAL.
BOBBY, YOU JUST MADE YOUR
BROTHER-IN-LAW A VERY WEALTHY MAN.
WELL, IT'S NOT
GONNA BREAK US, J.R.
NO, NO. OF COURSE NOT,
AND THAT'S A RATHER LARGE FIELD.
AT CURRENT PRICES, YOU OUGHT
TO DO PRETTY WELL ON THAT.
HA HA!
WELL, IN VIEW OF THESE
INTERESTING TURN OF EVENTS,
I THINK WE ALL OUGHT TO
HAVE A LITTLE DRINK TOGETHER,
DON'T YOU?
I'M PARTICULAR ABOUT
WHO I DRINK WITH.
CONGRATULATIONS, CLIFF.
YOU FINALLY GOT WHAT YOU WANTED.
BOBBY, DON'T BE A SORE LOSER.
I CAN MEET WITH YOUR
ACCOUNTANT SOME TIME NEXT WEEK.
HA. CLIFF, DON'T RUSH OFF.
YOU DID IT.
I ADMIRE A MAN WHO
GETS WHAT HE WANTS.
AHEM. HELLO.
HARRY OWENS, PLEASE.
I MUST SAY YOU'RE
TAKING THIS QUITE WELL.
YOU'RE NOT EVEN GONNA FIGHT ME.
WELL, I'VE LEARNED
IN THIS BUSINESS,
YOU HAVE TO ROLL
WITH THE PUNCHES.
HARRY?
HI. J.R. EWING HERE.
OH, FINE, FINE.
CAN YOU GIVE ME A REPORT
ON EWING 23, PLEASE?
5,000 BARRELS A MONTH?
WELL, I FIGURE YOUR SHARE
OUGHT TO BE ABOUT A HALF
MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.
HARRY, THIS IS WHAT
I WANT YOU TO DO.
CLOSE DOWN THAT FIELD.
THAT'S RIGHT.
SHUT DOWN EVERY SINGLE WELL.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT EWING 23 OR
SOME OLD DOCUMENT CLIFF FOUND.
HONEY, IT'S GONNA
MAKE HIM A LOT OF MONEY.
WELL... BOBBY, I WENT TO THE
CORPUS CHRISTI HALL OF RECORDS
AND TO THE HOSPITAL IN
MY OLD NEIGHBORHOOD,
AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY
INFORMATION ABOUT MY MOTHER.
BUT I MET THE MOST WONDERFUL
OLD WOMAN WHO KNEW HER.
YOU SEE, ON MY FIRST
TRY, I FOUND HER.
IMAGINE WHAT I'M GONNA
FIND WHEN I REALLY GET GOING.
HONEY, I REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS
FOR YOU TO FIND OUT ABOUT YOUR MAMA,
BUT YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH A SHOCK.
BOBBY, I HAVE TO DO THIS.
I'M GONNA QUIT MY
JOB AT THE STORE.
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
WAIT A MINUTE.
IF YOU WANT TO QUIT
TO RAISE A FAMILY,
WELL, THAT'S ONE THING.
DR. DANVERS SAID YOU
NEEDED A PERIOD OF MOURNING
AND MAYBE COUNSELING.
I WANT YOU TO TAKE IT SLOW.
I HAVE TO DO IT, BOBBY.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND.
I DO UNDERSTAND.
BUT I THINK WHAT YOU'RE
DOING IS NOT RIGHT FOR YOU NOW.
WHEN IT IS RIGHT, I'LL
BE THERE WITH YOU.
HI.
HI.
MMM.
HEY, DID YOU FORGET
WE HAD A DATE TONIGHT?
I'M SORRY. I HAVE TO BREAK IT.
LOOK AT THIS DESK.
I'VE GOT 50 PAPERS TO
MARK BEFORE TOMORROW.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT
THOSE 50 PAPERS THIS MORNING?
LUCY... I'M SORRY.
MAYBE WE'VE BEEN SEEING
TOO MUCH OF EACH OTHER.
MAYBE WE NEED A BREAK?
LUCY, NO.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK THAT.
ARE YOU SURE YOU
HAVE TO WORK TONIGHT?
YES.
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER.
HI, BETH. IT'S ME.
HOW'S STEVIE?
WELL, WHAT DID THE DOCTOR SAY?
WELL, THAT'S GOOD.
DO YOU NEED ANYTHING?
OK, I'M ON MY WAY
HOME RIGHT NOW.
WELL, DID HE GIVE YOU
ANY TROUBLE, HARRY?
AT FIRST.
THEN I CONVINCED HIM THAT
HE OUGHT TO COOPERATE.
CALL YOUR GORILLA OFF, J.R.
NOW, DON'T INSULT THE SERGEANT.
YOU MIGHT HURT HIS FEELINGS.
YOU READY TO TALK TO ME, BOY?
SURE, J.R.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW?
WHAT ARE YOU AND
KRISTIN TRYING TO DO?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
SHE TOLD ME EVERYTHING.
YOU TRYING TO
BLACKMAIL OL' J.R.?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE TOLD YOU,
BUT I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING, J.R.
ALAN, I DIDN'T BRING YOU HERE TO
LISTEN TO YOU TRY TO WEASEL OUT OF THIS.
I'VE TOLD YOU ONCE BEFORE,
YOU'RE FINISHED IN THIS TOWN.
GET OUT OF DALLAS, RIGHT NOW.
WHO DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE TALKING TO, J.R.?
YOU CAN'T DO A DAMN THING
TO ME, AND YOU KNOW IT.
AND JUST HOW DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GONNA MAKE A LIVING?
I'M AN ATTORNEY, J.R.
I'LL GET A JOB.
THERE MUST BE SOMEONE
IN THIS TOWN YOU DON'T OWN.
WELL, YOU'RE NOT GONNA WORK IN THIS
TOWN OR ANY OTHER TOWN FOR THAT MATTER.
HARRY, WHAT IS THE
PENALTY FOR RAPE?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
THAT WOMAN YOU RAPED.
WHAT, IT WAS A COUPLE
OF MONTHS AGO, WASN'T IT?
THAT'S RIGHT, MR. EWING.
YOU CAN'T GET AWAY WITH THIS.
THERE IS NO WOMAN!
HARRY, WE GOT A WOMAN YET?
BLONDE, BRUNETTE, OR REDHEAD?
SEE, ALAN?
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME.
ALL RIGHT, HARRY.
YOU JUST LEANED TOO
HARD ON THE WRONG MAN, J.R.
GET HIM OUT OF HERE.
WELL, ONCE THEY'VE
DISSOLVED THAT CORPORATION,
WE CAN PIERCE THE PENSION
FUND, PUT IT RIGHT IN OUR POCKET.
YUP.
DADDY, DID YOU SEE THIS?
WHAT YOU GOT THERE?
WELL, IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO
LOSE, YOU SHOULDN'T PLAY THE GAME.
YOU'RE ALL HEART, J.R.
WHAT, ARE YOU
DEFENDING VAUGHN LELAND?
HE WOULD HAVE HAPPILY
TURNED US OUT OF OUR OWN HOME.
DIDN'T HAVE ANY SECOND THOUGHTS
ABOUT FORECLOSING ON SOUTHFORK,
AND NOW THE TABLES ARE TURNED.
FRANKLY, IT COULDN'T HAVE
HAPPENED TO A NICER VULTURE.
J.R., DID YOU TELL DADDY ABOUT
OUR NEW BUSINESS PARTNER?
WHAT'S THAT?
THE DOCUMENT, J.R.
THE PAPER THAT DADDY
AND DIGGER SIGNED.
PAPERS? WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
OH, IT'S NOTHING TO
GET EXCITED ABOUT, DAD.
CLIFF BARNES BROUGHT IN AN OLD
DOCUMENT, DOESN'T MEAN A THING.
DO YOU REMEMBER SIGNING A PAPER
SHARING THE WELLS ON EWING 23 WITH DIGGER?
WELL, DIGGER AND I SIGNED
A LOT OF PAPERS. WHY?
WELL, THIS PAPER MAKES CLIFF
BARNES A PARTNER IN THOSE WELLS.
BARNES, A PARTNER OF MINE?
DAD, I TOOK CARE
OF IT. NO PROBLEM.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
YOU TOOK CARE OF IT?
THAT DOCUMENT IS LEGAL,
AND BARNES IS A PARTNER.
OH, YEAH, HE'S A PARTNER IN
SOME NON-PRODUCING FIELDS.
A NON-PRODUCING FIELD?
J.R., I OPENED
THOSE WELLS MYSELF.
YEAH... AND I SHUT 'EM.
YOU SHUT 'EM?
WHO GAVE YOU
PERMISSION TO DO THAT?
NOBODY.
I DID IT ALL BY MYSELF.
DADDY, YOU GAVE ME THE
AUTHORITY TO OPEN THOSE WELLS,
AND NOBODY CLOSES 'EM BUT ME!
WOULD YOU HAVE CLOSED 'EM?
YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I WOULDN'T.
IF CLIFF BARNES HAS A LEGAL RIGHT
TO HALF THE PROFITS OF THOSE WELLS,
THEN THAT'S JUST
SOMETHING WE LIVE WITH.
J.R. DID THE RIGHT THING.
THERE AIN'T NO WAY IN THE WORLD
THAT CLIFF BARNES COULD
EVER BE A PARTNER OF MINE.
THEN YOU APPROVE OF WHAT HE DID?
I'D HAVE DONE THE
SAME THING, BOBBY.
THE SAME THING.
THAT'S JUST WHAT I WAS
AFRAID YOU'D SAY, DADDY.
BOBBY'S GETTING WEAK,
DADDY. JUST PLAIN WEAK.
DOESN'T HARDLY SOUND
LIKE A EWING ANYMORE.
5 MINUTES IN THE SAME ROOM WITH
J.R., I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN IN A PIGSTY.
WHAT HAPPENED?
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED.
I FOUND EXACTLY
WHERE MY DADDY STANDS.
BOBBY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THOSE WELLS I OPENED UP.
CLIFF HAS A RIGHT TO SHARE IN
THE PROFITS FROM THOSE WELLS,
SO J.R. CLOSED 'EM DOWN.
AND THE WORST THING
IS DADDY APPROVES.
MAKES HIM NO BETTER THAN J.R.
I GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.
WE'RE LEAVING SOUTHFORK
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.
BOBBY... YOU CAN'T
JUST RUN AWAY LIKE THIS.
I THOUGHT YOU'D
BE HAPPY ABOUT IT.
WELL, IT DOESN'T
MATTER HOW I FEEL.
THIS IS YOUR FAMILY.
NOT ANYMORE THEY'RE NOT.
I'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE
WHILE I STILL KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG.
TAKE THE ADVICE
YOU'VE BEEN GIVING ME.
WAIT UNTIL YOU'VE COOLED OFF.
I'VE PUT UP WITH ALL THE
WHEELING AND DEALING
AND BACKSTABBING
THAT I'M GOING TO.
WE LEAVE IN THE MORNING.
RAOUL, I WANT YOU TO TAKE
THESE TO THE CAR FOR ME, PLEASE.
HONEY...
BOBBY, I WANT TO SAY
GOOD-BYE TO MISS ELLIE.
I'D LIKE YOU TO WAIT IN THE CAR.
I HAVE TO DO THIS ALONE.
OK.
SEE YOU LATER, BOBBY.
BYE, HONEY.
BOBBY.
WHAT IS IT, BOBBY?
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
NO, MAMA.
I'M NOT ALL RIGHT.
MAMA, PAM AND I ARE
LEAVING SOUTHFORK.
WHAT?
WHY?
I'M SORRY, MAMA.
I CAN'T STAY HERE ANY LONGER.
I CAN'T LIVE IN THE
SAME HOUSE WITH J.R.
NOW, LOOK, BOBBY,
THAT'S A HELL OF A DECISION
FOR YOU TO MAKE WITHOUT TALKING
TO YOUR MOM AND ME FIRST ABOUT IT.
THERE'S NOTHING TO
TALK ABOUT DADDY,
UNLESS YOU WANT TO TALK
ABOUT DECENCY OR MORALITY,
AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE
WORDS WE USE AROUND HERE.
BOBBY, PLEASE DON'T GO.
WHATEVER'S WRONG BETWEEN
YOU AND J.R. CAN BE WORKED OUT.
NO, MAMA, IT CAN'T, AND I'VE
STOPPED KIDDING MYSELF.
THEY CAN'T BE WORKED
OUT NOW, NOT EVER.
OH, JOCK.
JOCK, PLEASE, DON'T
LET HIM GO. PLEASE.
BOB...
DADDY, I CAN'T FIGHT
THE BOTH OF YOU.
NOW, YOU PUT ME BACK IN
EWING OIL TO KEEP AN EYE ON J.R.,
AND WHEN I NEEDED YOU
MOST, YOU BACKED HIM.
BUT I DID IT BECAUSE I
THOUGHT IT WAS RIGHT, BOBBY.
AND THAT'S WHY I CAN'T STAY.
I'M SORRY, MAMA.
I TRIED, AND I TRIED
HARD... BUT NO MORE.
DESPITE OUR DIFFERENCES,
BOBBY, YOU'RE STILL A EWING.
WE'VE ONLY GOT EACH OTHER.
WE'VE GOT TO STICK TOGETHER.
AT THE EXPENSE OF
EVERYBODY ELSE?
NOT ME, DADDY.
I CAN'T LIVE THAT WAY.
WHERE ARE YOU...
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I'M NOT SURE.
AS FAR AWAY FROM
HERE AS POSSIBLE.
GOOD-BYE, MAMA.
I'M SORRY, MAMA.
A LITTLE BREAKFAST, HONEY?
GOOD MORNING.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
MAMA, WHAT'S WRONG?
YOU DROVE GARY
AWAY, AND NOW BOBBY.
YOU TRIED TO BRIBE VALENE.
YOU CHEATED YOUR FRIENDS.
YOU'VE DONE EVERYTHING IN YOUR
POWER TO GET WHAT YOU WANTED.
WELL, YOU DID IT.
CONGRATULATIONS, J.R.
YOU'RE NOW THE EWINGS' ONLY SON.
MAMA, I DON'T WANT
BOBBY TO LEAVE.
YOU KNOW THAT.
ALL I KNOW IS, J.R., HE'S GONE.
YOU'VE HAD YOUR LAST SAY
IN THIS HOUSE, SUE ELLEN.
YOU THINK YOU CAN GET AWAY TALKING ABOUT
ME IN FRONT OF MY MAMA AND DADDY LIKE THAT?
YOU'VE CAUSED ME
ENOUGH HUMILIATION.
YOU'RE A DRUNK
AND AN UNFIT MOTHER,
AND I HONESTLY THINK
YOU'VE LOST YOUR REASON.
I'M GONNA CALL DR. ROGERS.
THE SOONER WE HAVE YOU
PUT AWAY IN THAT SANITARIUM,
THE BETTER OFF YOU'RE GONNA BE.
POLICE. OPEN UP.
WHAT IS IT? WHAT DO YOU WANT?
IT'S CALLED HARASSMENT,
J.R. EWING VARIETY.
I HAVE A WARRANT
FOR YOUR ARREST.
FOR WHAT?
PROSTITUTION.
IS SHE ANY GOOD?
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE REAL LUCKY
TO HAVE FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES.
I'M GONNA HOLD THIS
WARRANT FOR 24 HOURS...
GIVE YOU A LITTLE TIME
TO GET OUT OF TOWN.
AND YOU, TOO! TIME'S
RUNNING SHORT!
REMEMBER, 24 HOURS.
I'LL KILL HIM.
I SWEAR, I'LL KILL HIM.
TAKE A NUMBER.
THERE ARE A FEW
OF US AHEAD OF YOU.
NO.
NO, IT CANNOT WAIT.
I WANT HER COMMITTED TONIGHT.
WELL, SHE'S A DANGER TO
HERSELF AND TO THE BOY.
WELL, I'LL DO WHAT I CAN, J.R.,
BUT YOU'RE NOT GIVING ME
MUCH TIME TO MAKE PREPARATIONS.
JUST GET YOUR MEN OUT
TO THE RANCH THIS EVENING.
I'M GONNA BE WORKING LATE.
I FRANKLY DON'T WANT TO BE
THERE WHEN THEY TAKE HER AWAY.
WELL WHO'S GONNA SIGN
THE COMMITMENT PAPERS?
I WILL.
I'LL COME OUT TO THE
SANITARIUM LATER ON TONIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, WE'LL TAKE
CARE OF EVERYTHING.
DAVID, I APPRECIATE THIS.
SHE REALLY NEEDS HELP.
ALL RIGHT, J.R.
YEAH?
Louella: VAUGHN LELAND ON ONE.
VAUGHN?
J.R., I'M GONNA ASK
YOU FOR THE LAST TIME.
RETURN THAT MONEY TO ME.
WELL, YOU KNOW I CAN'T DO THAT.
J.R., I'M WARNING YOU.
I'M GONNA SEE TO IT THAT
THIS IS THE LAST CROOKED DEAL
YOU EVER PULL.
I'M SORRY, DADDY. THEY BEAT ME.
J.R. WHIPPED ME JUST
LIKE JOCK DID YOU.
THERE'S NOT A WHOLE
LOT LEFT I CAN DO...
EXCEPT STOP J.R. FOR GOOD.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'D MAKE
YOU REST ANY BETTER OR NOT,
BUT THAT'S SOMETHING
THAT I HAVE TO DO.
GOOD-BYE, DADDY.
DON'T YOU SEE HE'S
GOTTA BE STOPPED?
HE'S GONNA TEACH MY
SON TO BE JUST LIKE HE IS,
AND IT'S GONNA GO
ON AND ON AND ON.
SUE ELLEN, I'VE TOLD YOU IT
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY.
YOU DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND.
HE IS DANGEROUS, AND
HE'S GOT TO BE CONTROLLED.
HE WANTS TO PUT ME
BACK IN THAT SANITARIUM,
BUT I WON'T LET HIM.
HE'S NOT GONNA DO
THAT TO ME AGAIN.
HE MUST KNOW THAT
LITTLE JOHN NEEDS YOU.
HE DOESN'T CARE.
HE WANTS ME OUT OF THE WAY.
BUT THIS TIME, HE'S NOT
GONNA GET WHAT HE WANTS.
WHAT TIME DO YOU
HAVE, DR. ELLBY?
WE STILL HAVE A FEW
MORE MINUTES, SUE ELLEN.
I WANT TO TELL YOU
SOMETHING, DR. ELLBY.
YOU'VE BEEN RIGHT ALL ALONG.
I CAN'T RELY ON ANYONE
ELSE TO DO WHAT I HAVE TO DO.
J.R. EWING HERE.
HELLO?
WHO'S THERE?
UNH!
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
BELIEVE YOU KNEW THAT.
YOU'LL REGRET THIS.
IS THAT A THREAT, VAUGHN?
A PROMISE.
I'VE PUT UP WITH ALL THE
WHEELING AND DEALING
AND BACKSTABBING
THAT I'M GOING TO.
WE LEAVE IN THE MORNING.
YOU'RE A DRUNK
AND AN UNFIT MOTHER.
THE SOONER WE HAVE YOU
PUT AWAY IN THAT SANITARIUM,
THE BETTER OFF YOU'RE GONNA BE.
HE'S GOT TO BE STOPPED.
I CAN'T RELY ON ANYONE
ELSE TO DO WHAT I HAVE TO DO.
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
NOW YOU PEOPLE GOT YOUR STORY.
I'VE GOT WORK TO DO.
Woman: ONE MORE QUESTION, SIR.
DID EWING OIL INVEST ALL OF
ITS CAPITAL IN THOSE LEASES,
AND DOES NATIONALIZATION MEAN
THE END OF THE EWING EMPIRE?
I THINK MY SON
BETTER ANSWER THAT.
WELL, THANK YOU, DAD.
THAT'S REALLY 2
QUESTIONS, BUT...
YES, WE DIVERSIFIED, IF THAT'S
WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW.
WHAT ARE YOUR OTHER
INVESTMENTS, MR. EWING?
I CAN'T REVEAL
THAT AT THIS TIME.
BUT WE WERE ABLE TO
GET INTO ANOTHER DEAL
BEFORE THEY
NATIONALIZED THE WELLS.
DID YOU SUFFER ANY LOSSES?
WELL, YES.
EWING OIL SUFFERED
QUITE A FEW LOSSES.
BUT WE'RE STILL IN BUSINESS.
I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT.
MR. EWING, I...
THAT'S REALLY ALL I
CAN TALK ABOUT TODAY.
THANK YOU FOR COMING.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
GENTLEMEN AND LADIES, I
APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TODAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THAT'S ALL I CAN TALK ABOUT.
Woman: THANK YOU, MR. EWING.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
EWING OIL. PLEASE HOLD.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
THEY WERE HERE WHEN
I GOT IN THIS MORNING.
I HEARD IT ON THE
RADIO COMING IN.
HI, GENTLEMEN. EXCUSE ME.
EXCUSE ME, BOBBY.
J.R. AND YOUR DADDY ARE INSIDE.
NOTHING RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU.
YEAH, I THOUGHT
IT WAS GOOD, DAD.
THOUGHT IT WENT WELL.
YOU TWO SEEM TO BE
TAKING ALL THIS PRETTY WELL.
WELL, I'M HAPPY TO REPORT
THAT EWING OIL COMPANY
IS WELL AND ALIVE,
THANKS TO J.R.
TELL HIM.
YEAH.
A COUPLE DAYS AGO, I HAD A
CHANCE TO SELL 75% OF OUR HOLDINGS
FOR $10 MILLION A POINT.
SOMEBODY'S LOOKING
AFTER US, BOY.
ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME
EWING OIL JUST GOT LUCKY?
WELL, I HAD A CHANCE TO GET
INVOLVED IN A PRETTY BIG DEAL,
A CHANCE TO BUY INTO SOME
GAS FIELDS ON THE EAST COAST.
DAD AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT IT FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW,
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
THOSE OLD BOYS JUST
WOULDN'T SPEAK TO ME
UNLESS I HAD CASH IN MY HAND.
WHO BOUGHT THE LEASES?
UH, WELL, VAUGHN
LELAND WAS ONE OF 'EM.
ABOUT TIME THAT OLD
BARRACUDA GOT HIS COMEUPPANCE.
NO. COME ON, J.R.
DON'T MAKE FUN
OF A MAN'S MISERY.
WHO ELSE, J.R.?
OH, SAME OLD BOYS BEEN TRYING TO
GET IN ON THIS DEAL FROM THE BEGINNING.
THE BOYS IN THE CARTEL?
YEAH. YEAH, YOU KNOW, ANDY
BRADLEY, JORDAN LEE, SETH STONE.
THE BUSINESS IS A GAMBLE.
THEY KNOW THAT, BOBBY.
DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS, DADDY?
WHY WEREN'T WE TOLD, J.R.?
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO CLEAR IT
WITH US BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING!
WELL, YOU ALL WERE
UP IN COLORADO.
I DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR
THAT. I HAD TO MOVE FAST.
GOOD THING I DID, TOO, BOB.
DO YOU BELIEVE WHAT HE'S SAYING?
BOBBY, ARE YOU
CALLING ME A LIAR?
YOU MUST BE MIGHTY PROUD, J.R.
YOU MUST BE ON TOP OF THE WORLD.
JORDAN, I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.
IS THAT RIGHT?
YOU TELL ME HOW I FEEL, AND
I'LL TELL YOU A FEW THINGS.
Jock: NOW, JUST HOLD IT, JORDAN.
J.R. DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THE NATIONALIZATION.
THE HELL HE DIDN'T!
MONTHS AGO, WE BEGGED
HIM TO GET IN ON THAT DEAL.
HE WOULDN'T EVEN RESPOND
TO OUR TELEPHONE CALLS.
THEN, SUDDENLY, HE'S
READY TO SELL IMMEDIATELY.
JORDAN, I TOLD YOU I NEEDED
THAT CASH FOR OTHER DEALS.
YOU KNEW THOSE WELLS
WERE GONNA BE WORTHLESS,
AND YOU SUCKERED YOUR
FRIENDS INTO BUYING THE LEASES.
NOW, HOLD ON A MINUTE, JORDAN.
WE TOOK QUITE A BEATING
ON THAT OURSELVES.
WE STILL OWN 25%
OF THOSE LEASES.
WE LOST $250 MILLION,
NOT TO MENTION
OUR ROYALTIES ON YOUR SHARE.
NOW, WHY WOULD I DO
THAT IF I KNEW ABOUT IT?
TO MAKE IT LOOK GOOD, J.R.
COME ON, JORDAN.
YOU KNOW THIS BUSINESS.
IT'S A CRAPSHOOT.
SOMETIMES YOU WIN,
AND SOMETIMES YOU LOSE.
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE
PLAYING WITH LOADED DICE.
Jock: YOU GAMBLED, AND YOU
LOST. THAT'S THE BUSINESS.
NOW, YOU'VE MADE A LOT
OF MONEY WITH US BEFORE,
AND YOU'LL MAKE A LOT AGAIN.
WE ALWAYS TAKE
CARE OF OUR FRIENDS.
YOU KNOW THAT.
WELL, I'M HAPPY TO HEAR
THAT, JOCK, REAL HAPPY.
I'LL BE SURE TO PASS THAT INFORMATION
ALONG TO SETH STONE'S WIDOW.
SHE'LL BE REAL HAPPY
TO HEAR THAT, TOO.
WHAT THE HELL ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?
SETH KILLED HIMSELF
THIS MORNING.
TV Announcer: AND WASHINGTON DOES
NOT BELIEVE THAT THE NATIONALIZATION
POSES ANY THREAT TO THE
SECURITY OF THE UNITED STATES.
ON THE LOCAL SCENE, WE HAVE
AN UPDATE ON THE EWING OIL STORY.
CONTRARY TO EARLIER REPORTS,
EWING OIL WILL NOT SUFFER A MAJOR LOSS.
IN A PRESS CONFERENCE
THIS MORNING,
J.R. EWING TOLD THIS
REPORTER THAT THE COMPANY
SOLD MOST OF ITS OIL HOLDINGS
A SHORT TIME BEFORE THE OIL
INDUSTRY WAS NATIONALIZED.
A SAD SIDE TO THIS STORY,
ONE OF THE LEASEHOLDERS,
POPULAR DALLAS
OIL MAN SETH STONE,
COMMITTED SUICIDE THIS MORNING.
APPARENTLY, MR. STONE HAD
RECENTLY TIED UP MOST OF HIS ASSETS
IN THE NATIONALIZED WELLS.
HE LEAVES HIS WIDOW, MARILEE.
OH, MY GOD, J.R.
WELL, AS PRESS CONFERENCES
GO, I WAS PRETTY HAPPY WITH THAT.
I THOUGHT WE CAME
OFF PRETTY WELL. YEAH.
Louella, on intercom: J.R.,
MARILEE STONE CALLED AGAIN.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
OK, THANK YOU.
Louella: I'M SORRY.
YOU CAN'T GO IN THERE!
YOU BETTER START
TALKING... FAST!
VAUGHN, ALL I CAN
SAY IS I AM SORRY.
SORRY WILL NOT DO!
I WANT AN EXPLANATION, AN
APOLOGY, AND RESTITUTION.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
TO APOLOGIZE FOR,
AND THE EXPLANATION'S
VERY SIMPLE.
YOU GAMBLED, AND YOU LOST.
AND AS FOR RESTITUTION...
Jock: NOT A NICKEL, NOT A PENNY.
THAT WAS A FAIR DEAL, VAUGHN.
J.R. KNEW ABOUT
THAT NATIONALIZATION.
YOU CHEATED US!
YOU LIED TO US!
HAVE YOU GOT ANY PROOF?
NOT YET, BUT I'LL GET IT.
WELL, UNTIL YOU DO, YOU
BETTER BE DAMNED CAREFUL
WHO YOU'RE CALLING
A CHEAT AND A LIAR!
HOW DO YOU STAND ON THIS?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK, VAUGHN.
THE EWINGS ARE A FAMILY.
I WANT THAT MONEY BACK.
I BORROWED $20 MILLION
FROM A BANK IN FORT WORTH.
I USED MY SHARE OF THOSE
LEASES AS COLLATERAL,
AND NOW I'M WIPED OUT.
THERE IS NO WAY I
CAN REPAY THAT LOAN.
JOCK, YOU AND I KNOW
EACH OTHER A LONG TIME.
WE GO BACK A LONG WAYS.
$20 MILLION.
YOU GOT TO HELP ME!
APPEARS TO ME THAT I CAME
TO SEE YOU NOT TOO LONG AGO.
I WAS ABOUT TO LOSE SOUTHFORK.
ALL I WANTED WAS AN
EXTENSION ON THE LOAN.
"DEAL'S A DEAL," YOU
SAID. I BELIEVED IT THEN.
I BELIEVE IT NOW.
IT WAS CROOKED, AND I
BELIEVE YOU KNEW THAT.
YOU'LL REGRET THIS.
IS THAT A THREAT, VAUGHN?
NO THREAT. A PROMISE.
I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS IF
IT'S THE LAST THING I DO.
OH, HE'S YOUR BOY
ALL RIGHT, JOCK.
CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK.
AND I KNOW WHAT I'M
GONNA DO WITH HIM.
I THINK THE BEST THING YOU CAN
DO IS GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
DID YOU KNOW HE HAD
TO BORROW THAT MONEY?
WELL, HOW WOULD I
KNOW ABOUT THAT?
BOBBY, EVERYTHING
WAS HAPPENING SO FAST.
I ONLY GAVE HIM 24 HOURS
TO RAISE THE MONEY.
I DIDN'T ASK ANY QUESTIONS.
I THINK VAUGHN'S RIGHT.
I THINK YOU KNEW ABOUT
THAT NATIONALIZATION
AND YOU DUMPED THOSE
LEASES ON OUR FRIENDS.
YOU HAVE A VERY
RICH IMAGINATION.
DO I?
HOW LONG YOU AND DADDY
BEEN TALKING ABOUT INVESTING
IN THOSE EAST COAST GAS FIELDS?
ABOUT A YEAR, YEAR AND A HALF.
AND JUST BEFORE THE ASIAN
WELLS ARE NATIONALIZED,
YOU FINALLY DECIDE TO MOVE?
YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
WHAT'D YOU DO, J.R.?
CONSULT A PSYCHIC?
HOLD IT, BOBBY.
J.R., I WANT TO ASK
YOU A QUESTION,
AND I'M GONNA ASK IT JUST ONCE,
AND YOU'RE GONNA ANSWER IT,
AND THEN WE'RE NEVER
GONNA MENTION IT AGAIN.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THOSE WELLS
WERE GOING TO BE NATIONALIZED?
NO, SIR.
I SWEAR IT.
I'D NEVER HAVE DONE ANYTHING
LIKE THAT TO MY FRIENDS.
CYPRIPEDIUM IS THE PROPER
NAME OF THE TEMPERATE ORCHID
COMMONLY CALLED LADY-SLIPPERS.
HA HA!
IT'S BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU.
GREG, A GREAT NEW DISCO
JUST OPENED UP BY LOOP 12.
LUCY, I'M NOT MUCH OF A DANCER.
WELL, I COULD TEACH YOU.
I'M TERRIFIC.
I'M SURE YOU ARE.
BUT I'VE TRIED.
I'D JUST EMBARRASS
THE BOTH OF US.
GREG, IS THERE SOMEONE ELSE?
LUCY, OF COURSE NOT.
WELL, THEN WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
I DIDN'T KNOW THERE
WAS A PROBLEM.
ISN'T THERE?
ALL OUR DATES CONSIST OF WALKING
THROUGH THE PARK AND LUNCHES.
LUCY, YOU'RE MY STUDENT.
IS THAT ALL I AM TO YOU?
NO.
YOU HAVE A FUNNY
WAY OF SHOWING IT.
LUCY.
HI, KRISTIN.
GOOD MORNING.
INTERESTING, ISN'T IT?
THAT'S OLD NEWS.
IT'S BEEN ON THE TV, RADIO.
J.R. WASN'T HURT.
HE SOLD THOSE LEASES.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT? WHEN?
COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
I'VE HAD GUESTS.
LISTEN.
Man, on recorder: J.R. FINALLY
LET US IN ON THE ASIAN DEAL.
I'M GONNA BE A RICH MAN.
Kristin, on recorder: HOW COME?
Man: SAYS HE NEEDS THE CASH.
SOME NEW DEAL IN THE WORKS.
WHO IS THAT?
ONE OF THE CARTEL
MEMBERS... ANDY BRADLEY.
J.R. MUST HAVE HAD
ADVANCE INFORMATION
THOSE WELLS WOULD
BE NATIONALIZED.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE
THAT OUT ALL MORNING.
MAYBE HANK JOHNSON
TIPPED HIM OFF.
WHO'S HANK JOHNSON?
J.R.'s MAN IN THE FAR EAST.
HE WAS IN CHARGE
OF THE OIL WELLS.
WHO BOUGHT THE LEASES?
WHO ELSE?
J.R.'s CLOSEST FRIENDS
AND ASSOCIATES.
I BET THOSE FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES
WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED TO KNOW
IF J.R. HAD BEEN
WARNED IN ADVANCE.
THEY'D STRING HIM UP.
AND I BET J.R. WOULD PAY PLENTY
TO KEEP THEM FROM KNOWING.
WE HAVE NO PROOF.
J.R.'s TOO SMART FOR THAT.
HE COVERED HIS TRACKS.
MAYBE NOT.
MAYBE NOT.
SEE IF YOU CAN GET HANK
JOHNSON ON THE PHONE.
OVERSEAS OPERATOR, PLEASE.
Bobby: HELLO, MAMA.
HELLO, BOBBY.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
PAM TRIED TO REACH YOU AT THE
OFFICE, BUT SHE'S ALREADY LEFT.
IS SHE ALL RIGHT?
SHE'S FINE.
SHE'S DECIDED TO FLY TO
CORPUS CHRISTI AFTER ALL.
I WAS AFRAID OF THAT.
SHE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
MAMA, I THINK SHE'S RUSHING
INTO THIS WHOLE THING TOO FAST.
WELL, I CAN UNDERSTAND HER
NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HER FAMILY.
NONE OF US... NONE OF US
KNEW REBECCA VERY WELL.
YES, BUT SHE'S COMPULSIVE,
ALMOST OBSESSED WITH IT.
I DON'T THINK SHE REALIZES SHE'S
STILL IN SHOCK FROM DIGGER'S DEATH.
I KNOW.
BUT I THINK IT WOULD DO
HER MORE HARM THAN GOOD
IF YOU TRIED TO STOP HER.
WELL, I DON'T HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT THAT NOW, DO I?
HOW YOU FEELING?
RIDICULOUS, EMBARRASSED,
AND, UM, HUNG OVER.
WHY DON'T YOU
GET A CUP OF COFFEE
AND TAKE IT EASY
THE REST OF THE DAY?
I BARELY REMEMBER WHAT
HAPPENED YESTERDAY.
A BAR, SOME COWBOYS... IT'S
REALLY ALL KIND OF A BLUR TO ME.
WAS I REALLY IN ALL THAT DANGER?
ALL I KNOW IS THAT NOW
J.R. HAS ENOUGH AMMUNITION
TO PUT ME AWAY FOR GOOD.
NO, HE WON'T.
OF COURSE HE WILL.
BOBBY, LOOK WHAT
HE DID TO SETH STONE.
WHAT CHANCE DO I HAVE?
I'LL STOP HIM.
BUT YOU HAVE TO HELP, SUE
ELLEN. YOU HAVE TO STOP DRINKING.
BOBBY, WHEN I TOLD YOU
BEFORE THAT I WASN'T DRINKING,
I WAS TELLING YOU THE TRUTH.
BUT THEN, SOMETHING HAPPENED.
I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT.
BUT IT WAS A SHOCK...
AND I STARTED DRINKING AGAIN.
BUT I PROMISE YOU THAT I WON'T
TAKE ANOTHER DRINK AGAIN...
EVER.
I HOPE YOU MEAN IT.
WHY DON'T YOU GO IN
THE DEN AND SEE MAMA?
SHE'D LIKE THAT.
OH, NO.
I CAN'T FACE HER, NOT AFTER
THE WAY I DISGRACED MYSELF.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO FACE HER SOMETIME.
DO IT NOW.
OK.
YEAH?
Louella: HANK JOHNSON ON 2.
PUT HIM ON.
HELLO, HANK.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
I'M SENDING THE STUFF.
BUT I'M AS MAD AS HELL!
YOU WANT IT DESTROYED,
YOU GOT TO TRUST ME TO DO IT.
AND ANOTHER THING.
WHY IN HELL DID YOU TELL KRISTIN
WHAT'S GOING ON?
THIS IS SUPPOSED
TO BE BETWEEN US.
HEY, NOW HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND A
WORD OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
KRISTIN DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING,
AND WHAT STUFF ARE YOU SENDING?
JUST TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON.
THE RECORDS, THE RECEIPTS.
YOU WANT THEM
DESTROYED, I CAN DO IT.
BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU, I DON'T
APPRECIATE BEING TREATED LIKE A CLERK.
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE
RECORDS OF YOUR LAST TRIP TO DALLAS?
KRISTIN CALLED ME.
SHE SAID YOU WANTED TO
DESTROY ALL THE RECORDS,
THAT I SHOULD SEND THEM
TO THE CONDO BY COURIER.
THERE'S BEEN A MISTAKE, HANK.
I WANT YOU TO
DESTROY THAT STUFF.
BURN IT, SHRED IT, GET
RID OF IT ANY WAY YOU CAN.
HANK, GET BACK TO YOUR
HOTEL. WAIT FOR MY CALL.
YOU DID THE RIGHT
THING CALLING ME, HANK.
TALK TO YOU LATER.
DR. ELLBY, I BARELY REMEMBER
THE BAR OR WHO I WAS WITH.
SUE ELLEN, YOU'RE STARTING
TO BLACK OUT WHEN YOU DRINK.
IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
I'M NOT GONNA TAKE
ANOTHER DRINK EVER,
AND J.R.'s NOT GONNA PUT ME
BACK INTO FLETCHER SANITARIUM.
BOBBY TOLD ME HE'D STOP J.R.
NOW YOU'RE RELYING
ON BOBBY TO HELP YOU.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THAT?
IT'S THE SAME OLD PATTERN.
YOU'RE GIVING CONTROL OVER
YOUR LIFE TO SOMEONE ELSE.
YOU'RE PUTTING YOUR
WELFARE INTO BOBBY'S HANDS.
I TRUST HIM.
MORE THAN YOU TRUST YOURSELF.
YES.
Pam: COULD YOU
WAIT FOR ME, PLEASE?
PLEASE, MA'AM, MAY I
TALK TO YOU FOR A MINUTE?
DO YOU LIVE AROUND HERE?
MOST OF MY LIFE.
WELL, MY NAME'S PAMELA EWING,
AND I'M TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE
WHO USED TO LIVE AROUND HERE.
MAYBE YOU REMEMBER
HER. REBECCA BARNES?
REBECCA BARNES. MY
MEMORY AIN'T TOO GOOD.
WAS SHE YOUR MAMA?
YES.
OH. WAIT A MINUTE.
WHY, I SEE THE RESEMBLANCE.
SHE HAD A LITTLE
BOY... MAYBE 5, MAYBE 6.
MY BROTHER CLIFF.
DON'T REMEMBER NO GIRL.
YEAH. SHE WAS PREGNANT.
BIG WITH IT SHE WAS.
SHE WAS CARRYING ME.
PLEASE, DON'T YOU
REMEMBER ANYTHING MORE?
WELL, WAIT.
ONE CHRISTMAS, I WENT TO
VISIT MY BROTHER IN GALVESTON.
I STAYED A FEW WEEKS, COME
BACK, AND SHE WAS GONE.
JUST MY MAMA?
NO, THE WHOLE FAMILY... GONE.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE?
NOBODY KNEW.
I ASKED, BUT NOBODY KNEW.
I GOT TO GO NOW.
THANK YOU, AGAIN.
SHE WAS A NICE WOMAN,
AND BEAUTIFUL LIKE YOU.
GOT SOMETHING TO TELL ME?
LOOK, J.R., I'M IN A HURRY.
START TALKING, HONEY.
WHAT IS THIS?
I WANT SOME ANSWERS FROM YOU.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
ALL RIGHT, FINE.
I'LL GIVE YOU A HINT.
HANK JOHNSON JUST CALLED ME.
UH, I DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT, J.R.
ALAN MADE ME.
HE THREATENED TO TELL JOCK
ABOUT OUR... OUR LOVE AFFAIR.
I WAS ONLY PROTECTING YOU.
YOU THINK YOU'RE
GONNA BLACKMAIL ME?
YOU AND ALAN BEAM?
YOU'RE OUT OF
YOUR LEAGUE, HONEY.
YOU'RE GONNA BE SORRY YOU
EVER EVEN THOUGHT OF THAT.
YOU CAN'T SCARE ME.
IT TAKES BRAINS TO KNOW
WHEN TO BE SCARED, HONEY,
AND SINCE THAT'S SOMETHING
IN SHORT SUPPLY AROUND HERE,
I'M GONNA HELP YOU.
NOW IS THE TIME TO BE SCARED.
I UNDERSTAND IT'S BEAUTIFUL
WEATHER DOWN IN RIO THIS TIME OF YEAR.
YOU PUT ON ONE OF THOSE
PRETTY LITTLE STRING BIKINIS
YOU OUGHT TO LAST AT LEAST A YEAR WITH
ONE OF THOSE RICH BRAZILIAN BUSINESSMEN.
ONE DAY, SOMEBODY'S
GONNA STOP YOU,
AND I HOPE I'M
THERE TO WATCH IT.
NO WAY YOU CAN BUY ME OFF.
WE'LL SEE.
DID YOU FIND WHAT
YOU WERE LOOKING FOR?
NO, I DIDN'T.
ARE YOU SURE THERE ARE NO MORE
RECORDS OF DEATH CERTIFICATES?
YOU'VE SEEN THEM ALL.
IF SHE DIED IN CORPUS
CHRISTI, YOU WOULD'VE FOUND IT.
THANK YOU.
THAT'S THE BEST NEWS
I'VE HAD IN A LONG TIME.
YOU GAVE ME QUITE A
SURPRISE THIS EVENING.
OH?
YOU MANAGED TO MAINTAIN
A CERTAIN DECORUM.
SORRY TO DISAPPOINT
YOU, DARLING.
WHAT?
YOU EXPECTED ME TO BE EMBARRASSED IN
FRONT OF YOUR FAMILY TONIGHT AT DINNER.
WELL, I WASN'T, WAS I? I
WAS THE PERFECT LADY...
CHARMING, WITTY, AND SOBER.
I SWEAR, YOU'RE HEADING AT 90 MILES AN
HOUR TOWARDS A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THOSE RAVINGS OF YOURS.
NO, J.R., I AM NOT RAVING.
I AM NOT DRUNK.
I AM JUST FINE,
AND YOU'RE NOT GONNA PUT
ME BACK INTO THAT SANITARIUM.
WHO'S GONNA STOP ME?
BOBBY'S GONNA STOP YOU.
HE'S NOT GONNA LET
YOU PUT ME AWAY.
I WOULDN'T COUNT ON THAT.
YOU KNOW I ALWAYS
GET WHAT I WANT.
TELL ME, J.R., WHICH SLUT ARE
YOU GOING TO STAY WITH TONIGHT?
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
WHOEVER IT IS HAS GOT
TO BE MORE INTERESTING
THAN THE SLUT I'M
LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW.
Louella: J.R., CLIFF BARNES
IS HERE TO SEE YOU.
TELL HIM I'M BUSY.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, LOUELLA.
MR. BARNES, WHAT
BRINGS YOU HERE?
OPEN IT.
WHY DO I HAVE THE FEELING
THIS IS NOT A SOCIAL CALL?
OPEN IT.
CLIFF, WHY DON'T
YOU GET OUT OF HERE?
ALL RIGHT, WE CAN DO IT NOW,
OR WE CAN DO IT LATER IN COURT.
READ IT... OUT LOUD.
I WANT TO HEAR YOU SAY IT.
IT'S A FORGERY.
REALLY?
WELL, ACCORDING TO
THESE EXPERTS, NO.
READ IT SO BOBBY CAN HEAR IT.
"IT IS HEREBY AGREED THAT
ALL REVENUES AND PROFITS
"IN THE OIL FIELD NOW
KNOWN AS EWING 23
"WILL BE SHARED EQUALLY BY
JOHN EWING AND WILLARD BARNES
AND THEIR HEIRS IN PERPETUITY."
DON'T BOTHER TEARING
IT UP. IT'S A PHOTOCOPY.
I OPENED THAT FIELD MYSELF.
MM-HMM. SO YOU DID.
WELL, IF THIS IS
LEGAL... IF IT'S LEGAL?
BOBBY, I'M A LAWYER. IT'S LEGAL.
BOBBY, YOU JUST MADE YOUR
BROTHER-IN-LAW A VERY WEALTHY MAN.
WELL, IT'S NOT
GONNA BREAK US, J.R.
NO, NO. OF COURSE NOT,
AND THAT'S A RATHER LARGE FIELD.
AT CURRENT PRICES, YOU OUGHT
TO DO PRETTY WELL ON THAT.
HA HA!
WELL, IN VIEW OF THESE
INTERESTING TURN OF EVENTS,
I THINK WE ALL OUGHT TO
HAVE A LITTLE DRINK TOGETHER,
DON'T YOU?
I'M PARTICULAR ABOUT
WHO I DRINK WITH.
CONGRATULATIONS, CLIFF.
YOU FINALLY GOT WHAT YOU WANTED.
BOBBY, DON'T BE A SORE LOSER.
I CAN MEET WITH YOUR
ACCOUNTANT SOME TIME NEXT WEEK.
HA. CLIFF, DON'T RUSH OFF.
YOU DID IT.
I ADMIRE A MAN WHO
GETS WHAT HE WANTS.
AHEM. HELLO.
HARRY OWENS, PLEASE.
I MUST SAY YOU'RE
TAKING THIS QUITE WELL.
YOU'RE NOT EVEN GONNA FIGHT ME.
WELL, I'VE LEARNED
IN THIS BUSINESS,
YOU HAVE TO ROLL
WITH THE PUNCHES.
HARRY?
HI. J.R. EWING HERE.
OH, FINE, FINE.
CAN YOU GIVE ME A REPORT
ON EWING 23, PLEASE?
5,000 BARRELS A MONTH?
WELL, I FIGURE YOUR SHARE
OUGHT TO BE ABOUT A HALF
MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.
HARRY, THIS IS WHAT
I WANT YOU TO DO.
CLOSE DOWN THAT FIELD.
THAT'S RIGHT.
SHUT DOWN EVERY SINGLE WELL.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT EWING 23 OR
SOME OLD DOCUMENT CLIFF FOUND.
HONEY, IT'S GONNA
MAKE HIM A LOT OF MONEY.
WELL... BOBBY, I WENT TO THE
CORPUS CHRISTI HALL OF RECORDS
AND TO THE HOSPITAL IN
MY OLD NEIGHBORHOOD,
AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY
INFORMATION ABOUT MY MOTHER.
BUT I MET THE MOST WONDERFUL
OLD WOMAN WHO KNEW HER.
YOU SEE, ON MY FIRST
TRY, I FOUND HER.
IMAGINE WHAT I'M GONNA
FIND WHEN I REALLY GET GOING.
HONEY, I REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS
FOR YOU TO FIND OUT ABOUT YOUR MAMA,
BUT YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH A SHOCK.
BOBBY, I HAVE TO DO THIS.
I'M GONNA QUIT MY
JOB AT THE STORE.
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
WAIT A MINUTE.
IF YOU WANT TO QUIT
TO RAISE A FAMILY,
WELL, THAT'S ONE THING.
DR. DANVERS SAID YOU
NEEDED A PERIOD OF MOURNING
AND MAYBE COUNSELING.
I WANT YOU TO TAKE IT SLOW.
I HAVE TO DO IT, BOBBY.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND.
I DO UNDERSTAND.
BUT I THINK WHAT YOU'RE
DOING IS NOT RIGHT FOR YOU NOW.
WHEN IT IS RIGHT, I'LL
BE THERE WITH YOU.
HI.
HI.
MMM.
HEY, DID YOU FORGET
WE HAD A DATE TONIGHT?
I'M SORRY. I HAVE TO BREAK IT.
LOOK AT THIS DESK.
I'VE GOT 50 PAPERS TO
MARK BEFORE TOMORROW.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT
THOSE 50 PAPERS THIS MORNING?
LUCY... I'M SORRY.
MAYBE WE'VE BEEN SEEING
TOO MUCH OF EACH OTHER.
MAYBE WE NEED A BREAK?
LUCY, NO.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK THAT.
ARE YOU SURE YOU
HAVE TO WORK TONIGHT?
YES.
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER.
HI, BETH. IT'S ME.
HOW'S STEVIE?
WELL, WHAT DID THE DOCTOR SAY?
WELL, THAT'S GOOD.
DO YOU NEED ANYTHING?
OK, I'M ON MY WAY
HOME RIGHT NOW.
WELL, DID HE GIVE YOU
ANY TROUBLE, HARRY?
AT FIRST.
THEN I CONVINCED HIM THAT
HE OUGHT TO COOPERATE.
CALL YOUR GORILLA OFF, J.R.
NOW, DON'T INSULT THE SERGEANT.
YOU MIGHT HURT HIS FEELINGS.
YOU READY TO TALK TO ME, BOY?
SURE, J.R.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW?
WHAT ARE YOU AND
KRISTIN TRYING TO DO?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
SHE TOLD ME EVERYTHING.
YOU TRYING TO
BLACKMAIL OL' J.R.?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE TOLD YOU,
BUT I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING, J.R.
ALAN, I DIDN'T BRING YOU HERE TO
LISTEN TO YOU TRY TO WEASEL OUT OF THIS.
I'VE TOLD YOU ONCE BEFORE,
YOU'RE FINISHED IN THIS TOWN.
GET OUT OF DALLAS, RIGHT NOW.
WHO DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE TALKING TO, J.R.?
YOU CAN'T DO A DAMN THING
TO ME, AND YOU KNOW IT.
AND JUST HOW DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GONNA MAKE A LIVING?
I'M AN ATTORNEY, J.R.
I'LL GET A JOB.
THERE MUST BE SOMEONE
IN THIS TOWN YOU DON'T OWN.
WELL, YOU'RE NOT GONNA WORK IN THIS
TOWN OR ANY OTHER TOWN FOR THAT MATTER.
HARRY, WHAT IS THE
PENALTY FOR RAPE?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
THAT WOMAN YOU RAPED.
WHAT, IT WAS A COUPLE
OF MONTHS AGO, WASN'T IT?
THAT'S RIGHT, MR. EWING.
YOU CAN'T GET AWAY WITH THIS.
THERE IS NO WOMAN!
HARRY, WE GOT A WOMAN YET?
BLONDE, BRUNETTE, OR REDHEAD?
SEE, ALAN?
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME.
ALL RIGHT, HARRY.
YOU JUST LEANED TOO
HARD ON THE WRONG MAN, J.R.
GET HIM OUT OF HERE.
WELL, ONCE THEY'VE
DISSOLVED THAT CORPORATION,
WE CAN PIERCE THE PENSION
FUND, PUT IT RIGHT IN OUR POCKET.
YUP.
DADDY, DID YOU SEE THIS?
WHAT YOU GOT THERE?
WELL, IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO
LOSE, YOU SHOULDN'T PLAY THE GAME.
YOU'RE ALL HEART, J.R.
WHAT, ARE YOU
DEFENDING VAUGHN LELAND?
HE WOULD HAVE HAPPILY
TURNED US OUT OF OUR OWN HOME.
DIDN'T HAVE ANY SECOND THOUGHTS
ABOUT FORECLOSING ON SOUTHFORK,
AND NOW THE TABLES ARE TURNED.
FRANKLY, IT COULDN'T HAVE
HAPPENED TO A NICER VULTURE.
J.R., DID YOU TELL DADDY ABOUT
OUR NEW BUSINESS PARTNER?
WHAT'S THAT?
THE DOCUMENT, J.R.
THE PAPER THAT DADDY
AND DIGGER SIGNED.
PAPERS? WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
OH, IT'S NOTHING TO
GET EXCITED ABOUT, DAD.
CLIFF BARNES BROUGHT IN AN OLD
DOCUMENT, DOESN'T MEAN A THING.
DO YOU REMEMBER SIGNING A PAPER
SHARING THE WELLS ON EWING 23 WITH DIGGER?
WELL, DIGGER AND I SIGNED
A LOT OF PAPERS. WHY?
WELL, THIS PAPER MAKES CLIFF
BARNES A PARTNER IN THOSE WELLS.
BARNES, A PARTNER OF MINE?
DAD, I TOOK CARE
OF IT. NO PROBLEM.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
YOU TOOK CARE OF IT?
THAT DOCUMENT IS LEGAL,
AND BARNES IS A PARTNER.
OH, YEAH, HE'S A PARTNER IN
SOME NON-PRODUCING FIELDS.
A NON-PRODUCING FIELD?
J.R., I OPENED
THOSE WELLS MYSELF.
YEAH... AND I SHUT 'EM.
YOU SHUT 'EM?
WHO GAVE YOU
PERMISSION TO DO THAT?
NOBODY.
I DID IT ALL BY MYSELF.
DADDY, YOU GAVE ME THE
AUTHORITY TO OPEN THOSE WELLS,
AND NOBODY CLOSES 'EM BUT ME!
WOULD YOU HAVE CLOSED 'EM?
YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I WOULDN'T.
IF CLIFF BARNES HAS A LEGAL RIGHT
TO HALF THE PROFITS OF THOSE WELLS,
THEN THAT'S JUST
SOMETHING WE LIVE WITH.
J.R. DID THE RIGHT THING.
THERE AIN'T NO WAY IN THE WORLD
THAT CLIFF BARNES COULD
EVER BE A PARTNER OF MINE.
THEN YOU APPROVE OF WHAT HE DID?
I'D HAVE DONE THE
SAME THING, BOBBY.
THE SAME THING.
THAT'S JUST WHAT I WAS
AFRAID YOU'D SAY, DADDY.
BOBBY'S GETTING WEAK,
DADDY. JUST PLAIN WEAK.
DOESN'T HARDLY SOUND
LIKE A EWING ANYMORE.
5 MINUTES IN THE SAME ROOM WITH
J.R., I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN IN A PIGSTY.
WHAT HAPPENED?
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED.
I FOUND EXACTLY
WHERE MY DADDY STANDS.
BOBBY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THOSE WELLS I OPENED UP.
CLIFF HAS A RIGHT TO SHARE IN
THE PROFITS FROM THOSE WELLS,
SO J.R. CLOSED 'EM DOWN.
AND THE WORST THING
IS DADDY APPROVES.
MAKES HIM NO BETTER THAN J.R.
I GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.
WE'RE LEAVING SOUTHFORK
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.
BOBBY... YOU CAN'T
JUST RUN AWAY LIKE THIS.
I THOUGHT YOU'D
BE HAPPY ABOUT IT.
WELL, IT DOESN'T
MATTER HOW I FEEL.
THIS IS YOUR FAMILY.
NOT ANYMORE THEY'RE NOT.
I'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE
WHILE I STILL KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG.
TAKE THE ADVICE
YOU'VE BEEN GIVING ME.
WAIT UNTIL YOU'VE COOLED OFF.
I'VE PUT UP WITH ALL THE
WHEELING AND DEALING
AND BACKSTABBING
THAT I'M GOING TO.
WE LEAVE IN THE MORNING.
RAOUL, I WANT YOU TO TAKE
THESE TO THE CAR FOR ME, PLEASE.
HONEY...
BOBBY, I WANT TO SAY
GOOD-BYE TO MISS ELLIE.
I'D LIKE YOU TO WAIT IN THE CAR.
I HAVE TO DO THIS ALONE.
OK.
SEE YOU LATER, BOBBY.
BYE, HONEY.
BOBBY.
WHAT IS IT, BOBBY?
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
NO, MAMA.
I'M NOT ALL RIGHT.
MAMA, PAM AND I ARE
LEAVING SOUTHFORK.
WHAT?
WHY?
I'M SORRY, MAMA.
I CAN'T STAY HERE ANY LONGER.
I CAN'T LIVE IN THE
SAME HOUSE WITH J.R.
NOW, LOOK, BOBBY,
THAT'S A HELL OF A DECISION
FOR YOU TO MAKE WITHOUT TALKING
TO YOUR MOM AND ME FIRST ABOUT IT.
THERE'S NOTHING TO
TALK ABOUT DADDY,
UNLESS YOU WANT TO TALK
ABOUT DECENCY OR MORALITY,
AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE
WORDS WE USE AROUND HERE.
BOBBY, PLEASE DON'T GO.
WHATEVER'S WRONG BETWEEN
YOU AND J.R. CAN BE WORKED OUT.
NO, MAMA, IT CAN'T, AND I'VE
STOPPED KIDDING MYSELF.
THEY CAN'T BE WORKED
OUT NOW, NOT EVER.
OH, JOCK.
JOCK, PLEASE, DON'T
LET HIM GO. PLEASE.
BOB...
DADDY, I CAN'T FIGHT
THE BOTH OF YOU.
NOW, YOU PUT ME BACK IN
EWING OIL TO KEEP AN EYE ON J.R.,
AND WHEN I NEEDED YOU
MOST, YOU BACKED HIM.
BUT I DID IT BECAUSE I
THOUGHT IT WAS RIGHT, BOBBY.
AND THAT'S WHY I CAN'T STAY.
I'M SORRY, MAMA.
I TRIED, AND I TRIED
HARD... BUT NO MORE.
DESPITE OUR DIFFERENCES,
BOBBY, YOU'RE STILL A EWING.
WE'VE ONLY GOT EACH OTHER.
WE'VE GOT TO STICK TOGETHER.
AT THE EXPENSE OF
EVERYBODY ELSE?
NOT ME, DADDY.
I CAN'T LIVE THAT WAY.
WHERE ARE YOU...
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I'M NOT SURE.
AS FAR AWAY FROM
HERE AS POSSIBLE.
GOOD-BYE, MAMA.
I'M SORRY, MAMA.
A LITTLE BREAKFAST, HONEY?
GOOD MORNING.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
MAMA, WHAT'S WRONG?
YOU DROVE GARY
AWAY, AND NOW BOBBY.
YOU TRIED TO BRIBE VALENE.
YOU CHEATED YOUR FRIENDS.
YOU'VE DONE EVERYTHING IN YOUR
POWER TO GET WHAT YOU WANTED.
WELL, YOU DID IT.
CONGRATULATIONS, J.R.
YOU'RE NOW THE EWINGS' ONLY SON.
MAMA, I DON'T WANT
BOBBY TO LEAVE.
YOU KNOW THAT.
ALL I KNOW IS, J.R., HE'S GONE.
YOU'VE HAD YOUR LAST SAY
IN THIS HOUSE, SUE ELLEN.
YOU THINK YOU CAN GET AWAY TALKING ABOUT
ME IN FRONT OF MY MAMA AND DADDY LIKE THAT?
YOU'VE CAUSED ME
ENOUGH HUMILIATION.
YOU'RE A DRUNK
AND AN UNFIT MOTHER,
AND I HONESTLY THINK
YOU'VE LOST YOUR REASON.
I'M GONNA CALL DR. ROGERS.
THE SOONER WE HAVE YOU
PUT AWAY IN THAT SANITARIUM,
THE BETTER OFF YOU'RE GONNA BE.
POLICE. OPEN UP.
WHAT IS IT? WHAT DO YOU WANT?
IT'S CALLED HARASSMENT,
J.R. EWING VARIETY.
I HAVE A WARRANT
FOR YOUR ARREST.
FOR WHAT?
PROSTITUTION.
IS SHE ANY GOOD?
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE REAL LUCKY
TO HAVE FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES.
I'M GONNA HOLD THIS
WARRANT FOR 24 HOURS...
GIVE YOU A LITTLE TIME
TO GET OUT OF TOWN.
AND YOU, TOO! TIME'S
RUNNING SHORT!
REMEMBER, 24 HOURS.
I'LL KILL HIM.
I SWEAR, I'LL KILL HIM.
TAKE A NUMBER.
THERE ARE A FEW
OF US AHEAD OF YOU.
NO.
NO, IT CANNOT WAIT.
I WANT HER COMMITTED TONIGHT.
WELL, SHE'S A DANGER TO
HERSELF AND TO THE BOY.
WELL, I'LL DO WHAT I CAN, J.R.,
BUT YOU'RE NOT GIVING ME
MUCH TIME TO MAKE PREPARATIONS.
JUST GET YOUR MEN OUT
TO THE RANCH THIS EVENING.
I'M GONNA BE WORKING LATE.
I FRANKLY DON'T WANT TO BE
THERE WHEN THEY TAKE HER AWAY.
WELL WHO'S GONNA SIGN
THE COMMITMENT PAPERS?
I WILL.
I'LL COME OUT TO THE
SANITARIUM LATER ON TONIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, WE'LL TAKE
CARE OF EVERYTHING.
DAVID, I APPRECIATE THIS.
SHE REALLY NEEDS HELP.
ALL RIGHT, J.R.
YEAH?
Louella: VAUGHN LELAND ON ONE.
VAUGHN?
J.R., I'M GONNA ASK
YOU FOR THE LAST TIME.
RETURN THAT MONEY TO ME.
WELL, YOU KNOW I CAN'T DO THAT.
J.R., I'M WARNING YOU.
I'M GONNA SEE TO IT THAT
THIS IS THE LAST CROOKED DEAL
YOU EVER PULL.
I'M SORRY, DADDY. THEY BEAT ME.
J.R. WHIPPED ME JUST
LIKE JOCK DID YOU.
THERE'S NOT A WHOLE
LOT LEFT I CAN DO...
EXCEPT STOP J.R. FOR GOOD.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'D MAKE
YOU REST ANY BETTER OR NOT,
BUT THAT'S SOMETHING
THAT I HAVE TO DO.
GOOD-BYE, DADDY.
DON'T YOU SEE HE'S
GOTTA BE STOPPED?
HE'S GONNA TEACH MY
SON TO BE JUST LIKE HE IS,
AND IT'S GONNA GO
ON AND ON AND ON.
SUE ELLEN, I'VE TOLD YOU IT
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY.
YOU DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND.
HE IS DANGEROUS, AND
HE'S GOT TO BE CONTROLLED.
HE WANTS TO PUT ME
BACK IN THAT SANITARIUM,
BUT I WON'T LET HIM.
HE'S NOT GONNA DO
THAT TO ME AGAIN.
HE MUST KNOW THAT
LITTLE JOHN NEEDS YOU.
HE DOESN'T CARE.
HE WANTS ME OUT OF THE WAY.
BUT THIS TIME, HE'S NOT
GONNA GET WHAT HE WANTS.
WHAT TIME DO YOU
HAVE, DR. ELLBY?
WE STILL HAVE A FEW
MORE MINUTES, SUE ELLEN.
I WANT TO TELL YOU
SOMETHING, DR. ELLBY.
YOU'VE BEEN RIGHT ALL ALONG.
I CAN'T RELY ON ANYONE
ELSE TO DO WHAT I HAVE TO DO.
J.R. EWING HERE.
HELLO?
WHO'S THERE?
UNH!
