Dallas (1978–1991): Season 4, Episode 20 - Ewing vs. Ewing - full transcript

I want to know what
Ewing Oil is worth on the open market.

You sound like you're
gonna sell the company.

I can't live with Jock any longer.

Look at all you've built together.

To hell with the empire.

You know how much this
Takapa deal means to me.

Is it worth
more than you and Mama?

Imagine what
Miss Ellie's settlement might be.

Money is the last thing
on anybody's mind right now.

- Things have come to a head.
- Do I draw up the papers?

If you're really serious about
Westar acquiring Ewing Oil...



we better move fast.

You haven't said a word
since we left Southfork.

You know why I'm here.
There's nothing else to say.

Miss Ellie. Are you sure you want
to consult a divorce attorney?

It's the usual procedure
when you're considering divorce.

But surely you and Jock
can work this out.

Yes. But we haven't. Have we?

So I'm going to see Lincoln Hargrove.

Miss Ellie. This is a drastic step.

Yes. I know it is.

And you're sure
that you've thought it through?

I've been thinking of nothing else.

Now you listen to me. Boy.

The Takapa Resort is gonna be built.



Daddy. This is not Ewing Oil we're talking
about. Lt's a Senate committee.

You're still my son.
Whichever place you're working at.

That doesn't give you a right to try
and influence my vote.

I'm not trying to influence you.

I'm telling you what I want you to do.

Daddy. I'm not gonna let you
railroad me on this.

Damn it. Bobby.

You know how much this
Takapa deal means to me.

How can it be worth
more than you and Mama?

It isn't a question of being worth more.

Then you should've
pulled out of Takapa a long time ago.

And I'm not making a case for ecology.
I'm making a case for your marriage.

Then talk to your mama.

She backed me into a corner.

She put me into a position
I couldn't get out of.

Maybe I should've talked to her sooner.

Daddy...

if I can find a way out of this...

will you take it?

Well. I might.

I can't live with Jock any longer.

But a divorce?

Surely whatever's wrong between you
can be straightened out.

What's wrong with our marriage
is too deep to be straightened out.

Look. Ellie.
You and Jock have been married...

what. 42. 43 years?

Forty-five.

But this has nothing to do
with how long we've been married.

But look at all
the two of you have built together.

What have we built? An empire?

To hell with the empire.

It's come before family and love.
The only things that really matter.

Ellie...

I'd just hate to see you and Jock break up.

Lincoln. I know you're speaking as a friend.
But I'm not here seeking an opinion.

Only your agreement.

Will you take the case?

Ellie. You know. l...

Look. Just give me a little time.

I have to think about it.

I'll call you.

If you won't take it, Lincoln.
I'll get another lawyer.

But I hope I can count on you.

J.R. Ewing call you?

He sounded real eager
to see me. Mr. Wendell.

Yeah. Of course he's eager.

Since he knows you and Cliff Barnes
are friends. He wants to use you.

Why do you suppose J.R.'s so anxious?

You know the answer to that
as well as I do. David.

You were on the scene in Southeast Asia.

And nobody's been able to tie J.R.
into that counterrevolution yet.

Well. Maybe Cliff Barnes can do that.

Maybe.
What do you want me to tell him. Sir?

I want you to cooperate
with him fully. David.

Anything Cliff Barnes tells you.
You report back to J.R.

- Yes. Sir.
- Except...

if it's really important.
You tell me first.

Yes. Sir.

Here's everything you asked for. J.R..
A complete inventory of all Ewing assets.

Fine. Fine. Baxter.
You've done a good job.

Want to tell me
why you're doing all this?

If there's any questions. I'll do the
asking. Just keep on doing a good job.

I want to find out how much
Ewing Oil is worth. Excluding Southfork.

Does that include the refinery
and all land holdings?

That's right.

I want to know exactly how much
Ewing Oil is worth on the open market.

If I didn't know better.
I'd think you were gonna sell the company.

The only thing I want you
to think about...

is getting me that information.

Oh. It's okay.

It's okay. Mommy's poor little darling.

Not feeling any better, are you?

There.

There. It'll be okay.

Mama will be right back.

Just lie down for me.

Clint Ogden. Please.

Clint? Clint. It's me.

Yes. I miss you too...

but I won't be able to see you today. My
little boy isn't feeling very well at all.

Okay -

Pam. You're home awfully early.

Well. The way the phones
were ringing at the office...

I couldn't get my quarterly report done,
so I brought my work home.

Well. I won't keep you. Then.

Sue Ellen?

- Are you all right?
- Yes.

Well. Actually. No. I'm not.

I'm rather concerned about John Ross.
He hasn't been feeling very well.

Did you call the doctor?

Yes. He was here earlier, and he assures me
everything will be just fine. But...

Well. I'm just kind of concerned.

But I can't help it.

Well. Of course not.

That's your little boy up there.

Sue Ellen...

is there anything I can do to help?
You know how I feel about John Ross.

He's very special.

Pam. We haven't always
opened up to each other...

about many things...

but I do know that you care about him.

Miss Ellie.

Donna. How are you?

You're home early. Pam.

Well. I had some work to do.

We missed you at breakfast.

Donna drove me into Dallas.

More Takapa business?

No. Sue Ellen.
It wasn't Takapa business this time.

I guess it's only fair to tell you
since Donna already knows.

I went to see an attorney.

Lincoln Hargrove.

I'm planning to divorce Jock.

I can't believe it.

I can't imagine Miss Ellie and Jock
not being married.

What I can't imagine
is how she stayed married this long.

Oh. Sue Ellen. How can you say that?

She loves the man.

Unfortunately. Love doesn't count for much
with Ewing men.

Really?

Do you think that applies
to all the Ewing men?

- I do.
- Well. I think you're wrong.

Ray isn't like that.

Well. Maybe he wasn't, but that was before
he found out he had Ewing blood in him.

I disagree.

I am in no mood to argue with you
right now. Sue Ellen.

I am more concerned
with Jock and Miss Ellie.

Donna's right.

But Bobby's caught in between.

If Miss Ellie and Jock divorce over Takapa.
He'll never forgive himself.

Can you imagine
what Miss Ellie's settlement might be?

I think money is the last thing
on anybody's mind right now.

Oh. I wasn't even thinking about money.

I was thinking about
the future of Ewing Oil...

what my J.R.'s gonna do
without his precious little Ewing Oil toy.

Well. Lincoln. What a surprise.

What brings you here?

Something came up
I want to talk to you about.

Oh. Yeah? What can I do for you?

Your mother came to see me this morning.

Yeah? What about?

She's seriously contemplating a divorce.

- Sit down. Lincoln.
- Thank you.

Does this mean that you are
going to be representing her?

Oh. Not yet. But I can't stall her
for very long.

I want to talk to you first.

Thank you. Lincoln. Thank you.

Just how serious is Mama
about this divorce business?

Fiercely determined. I'd say.

I tried to dissuade her.
But her mind's made up.

Fact is. As soon as I call her back...

my next step will be to talk to Jock's
lawyer about a divorce settlement.

It's come to that. Has it?

It has.

And before it goes any further...

I'd like you to try and stop it.

Well. Of course I'm gonna do that.

I'm the eldest son. Lt's my responsibility.

It's gonna mean so much to the family
and the business. Everything.

Does Mama care about that?

Miss Ellie's attitude appears to be that
if Ewing Oil is destroyed in the process...

so be it.

Just like that?

As far as I'm concerned.
The survival of Ewing Oil is a side issue.

What concerns me
is your mama and daddy splitting up.

I'm gonna do everything in my power
to see that that does not happen.

I'll make a phone call.
See if I can salvage things.

I know I can count on you.

Thank you. Lincoln.
Appreciate it, I really do.

It's J.R. Ewing here.
Is he there?

J.R.. what can I do for you?

We have to have a meeting.

Things have come to a head.

Do I draw up the papers?

If you're really serious about
Westar acquiring Ewing Oil...

we better move fast.

Good morning. Lucy.

Good morning. Mitch.

I was thinking...

Look. I don't want to argue with you
anymore. Okay?

I'm sorry I lost my temper.

Mitch. I love you.

I love you.

Oh. Baby. I was so worried about you.

It's so late.

What happened to you?

Not only did I work all night in the lab.
But I got a flat on the way home.

Not another one.

I am so sick and tired
of having trouble with that car.

Poor baby. I made some coffee.
Do you want some?

No. I don't want coffee.

What I want is to lie down
until it's time to go to school.

I'll get it.

Lucy Ewing?

Cooper.

Your chauffeur's waiting
downstairs with the limo.

Thank you.

Honey. I'm sorry. I forgot.

I'll fix you a real nice dinner
when I get home from work. Okay?

I promise you I will.

Bye-bye. Hone'!
-

Have a nice day.

- Louella.
- Morning. J.R.

There's a gentleman waiting for you
in your office. A Mr. David Stratton.

Jeremy Wendell with him?

No. He's alone.

Mr. Stratton. How nice of you to come.

Mr. Wendell said to put myself
at your disposal.

He's a very. Very thoughtful man.

I assume that...

Mr. Wendell is gonna be aware
of our conversations in the future.

Well. I do work for him.

He is gonna expect some sort of report.

But what can I do for you, Mr. Ewing?

I'd like you to keep in contact
with Cliff Barnes.

Okay -

I want to find out
if he has any real facts...

about the counterrevolution
in Southeast Asia...

or whether the investigation
is just smoke.

I think I can handle that.

But you realize a conversation
is a two-way street.

I'm gonna have to feed him something.

What do you want me to tell him?

I'd be more than happy to provide you with
little bits of useless information to feed him.

It'll be a pleasure to help you out. Sir.

Well. I have a long memory
for people that do.

Mr. Ewing. Is there anything I should know.
Anything you want to tell me?

No. You just keep me informed
as to what Mr. Cliff Barnes is up to.

I'll take it from there.

Yes. Sir.

You ladies are so lovely to look at.

Did you really think we look like twins?

So close.
It was nice meeting you the other night.

Oh. We just loved your apartment.

Listen. How long
have you known Dave Stratton?

I've been talking with Katherine.

How is she?

She's very curious
to meet her half sister.

Well. That makes two of us.

As soon as the school term is over.
She's coming here to visit us.

- Do you approve?
- Do I approve?

I'd love it.

Perhaps the three of us
can become a family.

I'm so sorry about
what happened with Cliff. Mama.

I'm still glad I went to see him.

I only hope that maybe someday...

I'll have my son again.

Mind if I go ahead?
I've got to get back to work.

- No. Not at all.
- Thanks for lunch. Cliff.

Well. If that doesn't beat all.

What's the matter?

Nothing. Nothing.
I just saw something I really don't like.

I couldn't believe it when
I came across this suite of offices.

It is absolutely appropriate for
the clientele that we've been discussing.

- That sounds just wonderful.
- Oh. It is.

And in all honesty. I don't think I would've
taken on anything this extravagant myself.

But with the type of clients that you've
promised. I just think it's so appropriate.

Nothing but the best
for you. Leslie.

Thank you. J.R. Wait till you see it.

It's absolutely wonderful.

The reception room is huge...

the conference room
is the size of a football field...

and there's a beautiful view
of downtown Dallas.

There's a bar. A full kitchen...

and there's even a bedroom.
In case you work late at night.

Leslie. I know how you feel
about married men.

Can't you bend the rules a little?

J.R.

Look. Maybe the very best thing
would be if I were just...

to stay in the offices I'm in now.

That might just make it easier for you.

No. You go ahead
with that penthouse.

You mean it?

I'm a man of my word.

I promised you the best
clients in Dallas...

and if you need a penthouse
to go with them...

you got it.

Thank you.

- Excuse me. I'm sorry.
- What is it, Louella?

You'll be late for your meeting
with Jeremy Wendell.

Can't keep Mr. Wendell waiting. Can we?

And this is the lab
where the chips are printed.

And once they're programmed. Each chip
will hold 10.000 pieces of information.

- Well. I'm very impressed.
- Good.

With everything.

But why are you showing me all this?

I wanted you to see it, because in a way.
It has a lot to do with us.

I don't understand.

I spent the last 10 years
building this company.

It's meant more to me
than anything else in my life.

I know that.

And I'm willing to give it all up for you.

You don't have to give up anything for me.

When I divorce Alisha. I may lose
Ogden Electronics in the settlement.

Don't do it.

Don't divorce her.

I've never asked you to do that.

Why risk losing all this?
You've worked so hard for it.

Damn it. Sue Ellen.
Is this all you're willing to settle for?

What we have now?

I think what we have now is wonderful.

Stolen afternoons. Secret dinners?

Surely we have more
to give each other than that.

Clint...

our time together
is very special to me.

It's very special to me too.

But I think we deserve more.

Having an affair with you isn't
what I want for the rest of our lives.

Sue Ellen. I love you.

I want you to be my wife.

Why can't you make
a commitment to me?

Nun...

I just can't. Not yet.

Sue Ellen.

No more.

Why?

We're not hurting anyone.

I don't want you to be my mistress.

I want you to be my wife.

And when you feel the same. You...

You'll come to me.

We've looked over the assets.
Mr. Ewing...

and Ewing Oil is worth
what you say it is.

Well. It says right here:

“Westar Oil will issue the following
number of shares of Westar preferred...

plus a cash settlement.

Ewing Oil will continue
to operate as an entity.“

With you staying on as president.

In addition. It's been provided that you
will become a member of the board at Westar.

I don't see any reason not to sign this.

You understand once this is signed
by all parties...

it's a legal and binding agreement.

Yes. I do.

You realize that requires the signature
of your board chairman. Jock Ewing.

I told you. You have no problem.

Howard. Would you excuse us
for just a few minutes?

Of course.

J.R.. I had to go to my board
to get this deal approved.

I have committed Ewing Oil to them.

Jeremy. I know how these deals work.

I'm sure you do. But there's something
we ought to get straight.

I understand your wanting to sell Ewing Oil
before it's lost in a divorce settlement...

between your mother and father.

But at this point. I can't be concerned
about your motivation.

I can't care whether
your parents get divorced...

or whether
they get back together again.

The state of their marriage
can't be of concern to me.

I want to know if we have a deal now.
Despite what happens with your parents.

Jeremy. Trust me.

I said we had a deal.

You certainly keep late hours.
Miss Stewart.

Craig.

Hello. Leslie.

I'll get you a drink.

You're too kind.

What a delightful surprise to be
welcomed home after a long. Hard day...

by your ex-husband.

- Surprised to find me here?
- In Dallas. Yes.

In my apartment. Of course not.

Well. I'm here arranging a big fundraiser
for one of my clients.

Gonna make him a senator or a governor?

How's New York?

It's New York.

To the most wonderful ex-husband
a woman ever had.

May I return the compliment?

Tell me. Leslie...

how's your love life?

You're still the best.

Even better than J.R. Ewing?

Word gets around fast.

I heard you were handling him.

Let's just say that Mr. Ewing
has been a most valuable client.

Well. From what I've heard
about J.R. Ewing...

it takes more than talent to please him.

Even your considerable talents.

I haven't slept with him.
If that's what you're asking.

That sounds awfully familiar.

Well. I figured if it worked with you.
It'd work with anyone.

You know those mechanical
rabbits running around the racetrack...

all those dogs chasing. Chasing.
Running their little legs off...

And are never allowed
to catch the rabbit.

Once they catch you.
Then they lose interest.

How well I remember.

Took a wedding ring to catch you.

Mr. J.R. Ewing thinks so too.

Come on. Leslie.

Would you really marry him?

Well. There are a lot of things I want.
And J.R. can get them for me.

Do you love him?

Craig. Since when has love
had anything to do with it?

Leslie. How long can a marriage
like that last?

Long enough to get a wonderful client list
and an enormous divorce settlement.

You always were a sentimental fool.

Craig. What are you looking for?

I was just wondering
if you were taping this conversation.

Darling. You know the only people that I
tape are those that are useful to me.

I stopped taping you
the day we got divorced.

We're gonna need more sketches
of the fall line.

These don't give us the full picture.

I'll get in touch with the designers.

Pam Ewing's office. Jackie speaking.

Pam. I've got to talk to you.

I'm right in the middle of something.

Pam. It's Liz. She wants to know
about that mink-trimmed number.

Ask her if I can call her back.

Can she call you back, Liz?

We have to talk. I've been trying
to get you since yesterday.

I've been very busy. And I drove
Bobby to the airport last night.

We have to talk.

Pam. I'll take care of these sketches.

All right. Tell me what is so very.
Very important that you must talk to me.

Okay. That woman that you had lunch
with yesterday.

- You were there?
- What did she want?

What do you mean?

Well. She's a fraud. You know?

Oh. Well. How do you know that?

I know that because she came to my office
pretending to be a friend of our mother's.

Very bad acting job. I might add.

What do you think she wanted?

Money. It was obvious.

She came to your office...

pretending to be a friend
of our mother...

thinking that you would pay her off?

Right. Right. And then yesterday.
She's with you.

You're a damn fool. Cliff.

You're so suspicious and so bitter.

If you had given her the least opening.
She would've told you the truth.

That woman?

That woman is your mother.

Boys. I just got a copy
of this environmental impact report...

this morning before we came down.
If you'll look on page three, paragraph 13.

This hearing. Conducted by the
Select Committee on Legislative Inquiry...

will now come to order.

We'll be addressing ourselves
to the question of Takapa Lake.

All interested parties
appear to be present:

The members of the
Unified Development Corporation...

and the Daughters of the Alamo.

Now. The question before us.
Ladies and gentlemen...

is whether or not to declare
Takapa a wilderness area...

a declaration of which
would designate Takapa off-limits...

to the proposed resort
sponsored by Unified Development.

The attorney representing
Unified Development...

may first present to this committee
their proposal.

- Mr. Chairman...
- Mr. Chairman...

may I address this hearing?

You are out of order.

This is quite irregular. Senator Ewing.

Mr. Chairman. What I have to say will save
this committee from a very lengthy hearing.

Mr. Chairman. Considering the rather unique
circumstances surrounding this hearing...

I think we should allow Senator Ewing
to have his say.

All right. Senator Ewing.
You may address this hearing.

- Bobby talk to you about this?
- Not a word.

This is the Takapa region
as it exists today.

Unified Development Corporation
plans to turn this...

part of land into a recreational area.

The DOA would like it designated
as wilderness preserve.

Up to this point.
Only one of these two parties could win.

But I believe there's a compromise.

I've located a parcel of land here...

lying adjacent to both
the proposed Takapa resort...

and the planned wildlife preserve.

But as you can see. It is not part of the
protected area championed by the DOA.

However. It is already semi-developed.

So I have purchased this piece of land
with my own personal funds.

And what I propose with the land
I now own is a trade.

I will trade land for land.

The land that I've just purchased...

for the land now held by Unified.

I will then in turn donate that land
to the state of Texas...

to be designated as a wildlife preserve.

The DOA will have its preserve...

and Unified. Its resort.

And you'll have yourself
a nice tax write-off. Senator.

- Mr. Chairman.
- Senator Carson.

Tax write-off or not. Senator Ewing
has proposed an equitable solution.

I think we're in agreement here that this
committee would be inclined to support...

whichever side accepts this fair
and reasonable proposal.

How do you boys feel about it?

Bobby came up with a fair deal.

It's all right by me.
We still get our resort built.

- Let's go with it, Jock.
- I think it sounds good.

Mr. Chairman. Unified Development accepts
the compromise put forth by Senator Ewing.

Is the proposal acceptable
to the Daughters of the Alamo?

- Well. What do you think?
- Well?

I think it's a really good idea.

- I do.
- I do too. All right?

Yes. Mr. Chairman.
We accept the compromise.

In that case. There is no further business.

This meeting is adjourned.

Well. Miss Ellie. That should do it.
I'm glad it's all over.

The only thing that's over...

is this hearing.

Hi. Pam.

Bobby.

How are you?

What's the matter?

How could you do it?

- Do what?
- How could you sell out Miss Ellie?

Pam. I didn't sell out anybody.

Miss Ellie came home...

bit my head off
when I asked about the hearings...

went upstairs.
She hasn't come back down yet.

I assumed that you voted to go with Jock
and the other developers.

Well. You assumed wrong.

What I did was work out a compromise.
And a pretty terrific one. At that.

Honey. You'd have been proud of me.

Miss Ellie came home
in such a state that...

- Bobby. I'm sorry...
- No. no.

I knew something was wrong
when the meeting was over.

Daddy was happy,
the developers. The DOA.

Everybody was happy except Mama.
She just left right away.

Well. I don't understand.

I'd hoped that solving the Takapa problem
would help bring them together.

I think the trouble between Mama
and Daddy go a lot deeper than Takapa.

Thank you.

I have this gut feeling...

there's more to this counterrevolution
thing than meets the eye.

So you still think that J.R. Ewing
was connected?

- He got his oil wells back. Didn't he?
- So did a lot of other people.

But all that just made him look better.

And then there's this link
with Hank Johnson.

See. If I can only figure out
how that ties in.

It's like I told you before...

Hank was mighty scarce
once the counterrevolution started.

Yeah. But you also said
you thought it was privately funded.

So any idea of who distributed
that money when it got there?

Not specifically.

Okay. Okay. I'll try to find out for you.

But why are you so interested
in this whole thing?

Especially Ewing Oil.

Just anything about Ewing Oil
fascinates me.

Thank you.
I'm gonna take a short break now...

then I'll be right back.

No more for me.
I've got an early meeting.

I'll have another one, please.

I'm just gonna hang out
and listen to the music.

You always did have
an appreciation for the arts.

- I'll do what I can on that.
- Thank you.

Always glad to help out an old buddy.

- Pretty song. Pretty lady.
- Thank you.

Excuse me.

Yeah?

Do I know you from somewhere?

Well. I don't know...

but I really think you should sit down.
And we'll talk this over.

Thanks.

Anyway. You just look familiar to me.

I've been in here before.

No. That's not it. No.

I think maybe I've seen your picture
or something.

My name's Cliff Barnes.

That's it. You're Pamela Ewing's brother.

Oh. Okay. You know Pam.

I'm Mitch Cooper's sister Afton.
Lucy's new sister-in-law.

Oh. I see. Yeah. Okay.

I guess that means
we're all kind of related.

Yeah. I guess so.

I guess we're all related
to the mighty Ewing family.

The Ewings have been very kind to me.
Especially J.R.

Really?

How's that?

Well. He got me this job here singing so
that Mama and me could stay on in Dallas.

Oh. That's nice.
Can I buy you a drink?

Yeah. Nothing I'd like better.

Miss?

So J.R. got you this job. Huh?

Hello. J.R.?

Hey, Daddy!

I was surprised when you didn't
come home for dinner last night.

I thought that everything was settled
on that Takapa deal.

You know. We're all sitting
around for dinner...

and you never did show up.
And Mama didn't come from upstairs. so...

There's no way to talk to that woman.

Dad. Are you...?

Are you really gonna go through
with this divorce?

Sure as hell looks that way.

I am sorry. I'm so sorry.

I know you have an awful lot
on your mind...

but I better come over to the hotel.

- We've got to talk about Ewing Oil.
- What about Ewing Oil?

Sir. You indicated that if you and Mama
couldn't settle your differences...

there was no way you'd lose
Ewing Oil in a divorce action.

- What did you do?
- Well, you always said...

you would never let
Ewing Oil be destroyed...

so I took the liberty of contacting
Jeremy Wendell of Westar Oil...

and I have a piece of paper here
you might enjoy.

Come on in. Lt's open.

Oh. Morning. Jock.

Ray. I'll be right with you.

What's Ray doing there?

Well. Ray and I are heading down
to Takapa today with Punk.

Listen. Daddy. I have got to talk to you.

I don't know.
Ray. When do we leave?

- We got one small problem. Jock.
- What's that?

Well. See. I left the map of Takapa
at my house.

Why don't I drive us back there
and pick it up...

and then fly you down
in the helicopter.

Okay -

Can't do it, J.R.

Daddy. This Westar deal is important.

- Not now. J.R.
- Wait!

Wait a minute, would you...?

Ray. Have you found those maps yet?

We don't want to keep Punk waiting.

Well. It's somewhere
in this pile of stuff here. Jock.

Good morning. Jock.

Good morning. Miss Ellie.

So you forgot the maps. Huh?

Whose idea was this?

Ours. Ray's and mine.

Donna. I know you mean well.
But this is not your affair.

Well. Miss Ellie. It's my affair.

I have some things I've just got to say.

I don't want to hear it.

You have to hear me out.

See. For a long time...

I've been feeling bad about
what's happened between you two.

All along. I thought it was about Takapa.

Well. I was wrong.

It's not Takapa. It never was.

I started thinking back to that day...

that you found out
that Jock was my real father.

I don't know how you handled that.
But you did.

You accepted me...

made me more proud
than I could even put into words.

I felt like I really belonged
because you'd accepted me...

and that was good enough for me.

Things just started going wrong...

about the time Lucy got married.

I remember Gary telling us at the wedding
that now that I was a Ewing...

and running the ranch.
That he could stay in California...

and didn't have to worry
about coming home anymore.

Well. I'm sorry.

I just didn't realize
what that meant to you then. Miss Ellie.

I don't want to hear any more of this.

Gary's your son.

I know that.
I never wanted to take his place.

I never wanted to hurt you.

It's a little late for that.

Hear him out. Ellie.

I know Jock's cared about me
for a long time...

even before he knew I was his son...

but then he went and made me
part of the Ewing trust.

I'm sure it must've seemed to you
like I was trying to cut out your own sons.

The last thing I ever wanted was to be
the reason for you and Jock splitting up.

Please. Ray.

Last night...

I went to a lawyer.

I had him draw this up.

It says I give up any legal claim
I have in Southfork or the Ewing trust.

Ray. I made you part of that trust
because it's rightfully yours.

Don't throw away your birthright.

I'd rather give it all up.
Leave Southfork, go anywhere...

rather than be the cause
for you two splitting up.

You're paying too high a price
for me to be a Ewing.

Nun...

I can't let you do that. Ray.

I guess...

I guess the truth has finally come home.

All this time
I couldn't let go of Gary...

and I couldn't let go...

of the hope that
he'd come back to Southfork.

But Gary's not coming back.

It's because he doesn't want to.

This time. he...

He wasn't driven away.

He left because...

Because he wasn't happy here.

And you were right.

I did blame you for that. Ray.

It was easier to blame you...

than looking at myself...

and see the truth.

And because...

you are Ray's father. Jock...

I focused all that hurt and hate...

on you being part of Takapa.

But it...

It never was Takapa.

I used it as an excuse.

It was all inside of me.

And. Ray...

you are a Ewing.

I want you to stay.

Does that include me too?

Oh. Yes.

Forgive me.

I almost destroyed everything.

Nothing to forgive.

I love you. Ellie.

I love you. Jock.
