Dallas (1978–1991): Season 8, Episode 28 - Deeds and Misdeeds - full transcript

The police arrested the man
that may have killed Naldo.

We'll get your mom out of prison.

I know what's bothering you.
Me and Sue Ellen living in the same house.

That is not going to continue
much longer.

He didn't seem to have
copies of those papers.

Without them, you're gonna have two
new partners that I know you don't want.

Bobby, J.R., pucker up and get ready
to kiss two-thirds of Ewing Oil goodbye.

Your mom was real tired, John Ross.

We may just have to send her some place
where she can take a nice, long rest.

Sue Ellen.

I heard about John Ross. How is he?



SUE ELLEN:
I don't know.

BOBBY:
Oh, no.

SUE ELLEN:
I don't know.

Went to the hospital to see him.

They wouldn't let me
because they said I was drunk.

Look, you are drunk.

Come on, I'll take you upstairs
and you can go to bed.

Come on.

[SIGHS]

- My baby's sick.
- I know.

That's no reason
for you to start drinking again.

- I'm a terrible mother.
- Stop it, Sue Ellen.

I should've been with him and I wasn't.

Hold on there. Hold on there.



You can't watch him 24 hours a day.

He told me that he was better
and I knew he wasn't feeling better.

But he said he was better and he was
gonna stay in there and play with his trains.

All right. Come on.

Sue Ellen, we can talk about all of this
in the morning.

Right now, you need to get into bed
and get some sleep.

I'm just no good, Bobby.
I'm no good for anything.

Come on, stop talking like that.

J.R.'s right, I'm an unfit mother. God.

Everything's gonna look
different in the morning.

All right, come on, just a second there.
Just a second there.

Okay, yeah.

- J.R.'s right.
- Shh, shh.

- J.R.'s right.
- Just lay down.

SUE ELLEN:
Oh.

- J.R.'s right.
- Shh, shh.

Just go to sleep.

[SUE ELLEN MOANS]

[BOBBY SIGHS]

J.R.:
All right, look, now, look.

Any change in his condition,
even if he just wakes up...

...I want you to let me know.

That's right, you call me. All right.

That's the nurse I got John Ross.
He seems to be all right.

Well, that's great,
but what's going on with Sue Ellen?

Why does she blame herself
for what happened?

Because she's responsible
for what happened, that's why.

Well, how? He had an appendicitis.

Acute appendicitis, Bobby.

He told her he wasn't well.
That's why she kept him home from school.

And then what did she do?
She walked out on him, left him all alone.

Oh, thank God
Mama and Clayton were there.

If they hadn't got him to the hospital quick,
I could have lost my son. He could've died.

J.R., you can't blame her for all of that.

She said she offered to stay with him
and he told her he was feeling fine.

The boy is 7 years old.

If he said he was gonna go out in traffic
and play, would she let him, huh?

Yeah, come to think of it, she might.

All right, she made a mistake,
but you don't have to destroy her for that.

She's overwhelmed with guilt.

She deserves to be.

No, she doesn't.

And she doesn't deserve to be driven to
the point where she starts drinking again.

Oh?

- You didn't know?
- No, no, I didn't.

She was so drunk I had to help her upstairs
and into her room.

Well, maybe that gives you an idea
of the kind of woman I married.

When she's feeling bad,
she starts sucking on that bottle.

J.R., Sue Ellen has a lot of problems
and she needs help.

You've gotta understand that.

Yes, I do understand.

And I guarantee you,
she's gonna get all the help she needs.

Good morning, Donna.

Morning, Miss Ellie.

Have you had breakfast?

No. I just want some coffee.

Are you feeling all right?

Mm-hm.

I was just standing here
contemplating life.

I wish you luck.

You know, it's so strange, Miss Ellie...

...but there are times in your life
when you want things so badly.

And than five years, six months,
two years, it happens.

Somehow or the other,
it's just not the same.

Well, I'm not exactly sure I know
what you're referring to.

No.

Oh...

Forgive me, I--

I guess I'm just
a little bit muddled these days.

Well, I'm not surprised.

What you're going through
is very difficult.

Oh, you mean the divorce.

Yes, what did you think I meant?

That's what I meant.
I'm just not thinking straight.

And you're right. It is difficult.

First, I thought divorce
would be a quick...

...easy solution to all my problems.

And now?

Well, I don't know.

I mean, things just get more
and more complicated.

Well, I'm glad to hear you say that.

You've invested a lot
in your marriage, Donna.

Don't be too quick to give it all up.

Miss Ellie, if Ray and I
were to go back together...

...things would have to change
a whole lot.

Well, there are only two people
who can make those changes.

- And you're one of them.
- Hm.

I don't know what to do.

I really don't.

Well, think about it. Give it time.

I'm not sure I can.

Callback on 3718.

It's the direct line to Accounting.
You're welcome.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

I haven't seen you smile like that
in I don't know how long.

Well, I haven't felt like this
in I don't know how long.

- Is Cliff in?
- Yes.

Well, good.

Oh...

By any chance, did Bobby call?

Bobby? No. Was he supposed to?

Not necessarily.
I just thought that he might.

The leak is fixed.
I know that, you know that.

So let's get the inspection finished up
so I can start pumping oil again, huh?

Thank you very much.

Oh, I don't believe that.

Billings, he still won't let me
start pumping out of 340 again.

Knowing how much it's costing, you'd
think they'd hurry up that inspection.

Oh, no, that's too intelligent.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

Yeah?

JACKIE:
Cliff, Jordan Lee is here with Mr. Parker.

Send them in.

He's not gonna like
what I have to tell him.

JORDAN:
Hello, Cliff, Pam.

- Nice to see you.
PAMELA: Hi.

Pam, this is Kyle Parker, my lawyer.
Kyle, Cliff's sister, Pamela Ewing.

- How do you do?
- I'm very pleased to meet you.

Well, this is the day.
The papers are here.

All you gotta do is sign them,
put the checks into escrow.

Here's mine, $11 million.

Jordan, I have a bit of a problem.

Now, don't tell me you're backing out.

Look, the Texas Energy Commission
is just giving me a hard time.

I had that leak fixed down at 340,
but Billings won't let me start pumping yet.

Well, okay, but our deal's
got nothing to do with 340.

- Doesn't have to do with offshore drilling.
- I know.

But I'm in a bit of a squeeze.

You see, instead of bringing in any capital,
all of my money is flowing out.

I can't believe
there's not something you can do.

This is too good an opportunity
to just let fly away.

I know, Jordan, and I tell you I am sorry
to spring this on you at the last moment.

I've been waiting for things to clear up.
It hasn't happened yet.

Excuse me.
Cliff, can you tell me what it is you need?

Cash, $11 million
to match Jordan's check.

All right, I'll put it up for you.

- You will?
- Well, why not? You're my brother.

Have Leo Wakefield
write a check for the deal.

I'll cover it with one of mine
from Wentworth Industries.

That's fantastic.
I've told you, together, we're unbeatable.

I'll say. I've a feeling J.R. and Bobby
are gonna find that out pretty soon.

When are you supposed to go to trial?
Can't be too long from now.

- Next week.
- You know something?

I'm starting to feel sorry for these boys.

You two working together,
they don't even have a chance.

You know it.

Yup, Bobby, J.R., pucker up...

...and get ready to kiss two-thirds
of Ewing Oil goodbye.

You sure don't wanna
come with us, Mandy?

No, I still have to go shopping.
Then I wanna wash my hair.

Okay. Bye-bye.

- Bye-bye. See you tomorrow.
- All right.

You finished for the day?

JR.

Is something wrong? You look awful.

Well, I didn't realize it showed.

Yes, it's a family problem. It's my son.

Your son? What happened to him?

He's in the hospital.
He's had an emergency operation.

Oh, J.R., I'm so sorry. Is he all right?

Oh, he will be.
At least, I hope he will be.

He looked real tired when I saw him
at the hospital this morning.

Listen, Mandy, I behaved very badly
last week and I wanna apologize.

It isn't necessary to apologize, J.R.

But I've been thinking about this whole
thing and we just can't go on like this.

- Mandy, please--
- We can't, J.R.

I thought I could keep on seeing you
as long as we weren't sleeping together...

...but I was wrong.

Even that's too much for me.

This relationship, or whatever it's called,
it's just not working.

Please, give it some time.

Everything's gonna be all right. I promise.

No, it won't be all right.
Don't you understand?

I know what's bothering you.
Me and Sue Ellen living in the same house.

But I can tell you now,
that is not going to continue much longer.

Why? Are you gonna move out
of Southfork?

No. But Sue Ellen may be.

When was all this decided?

Well, it hasn't exactly been decided yet,
but we're working on it.

That makes you happy, doesn't it?

I don't know. I'm not sure how I feel.

You still want me, don't you?

Don't you?

Oh, God, yes. Oh, yes, J.R., I do.

Hello, sweetheart.

Mama.

My poor baby.

Where were you?

Well, I'm here.

Were you here
when they operated on me?

No.

Mommy was out.

I didn't even know about the operation
until it was all over.

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

It was a mistake.
Mommy should have been here.

That's okay. You didn't know.

- How's your tummy? Does it hurt?
- A little bit.

But not like it did
when Grandma brought me to the hospital.

Well...

It hurts right now because of the operation,
but it'll go away soon.

I know.

Sweetheart, easy. Don't strain yourself.

I'm so sorry.

Mommy should have been here so you didn't
have to go through that operation alone.

It wasn't your fault.

Yes, it was.

Yes, it was.

I'm so sorry.

RAY: Where the hell is this guy?
He was supposed to be here an hour ago.

Now I'm beginning to wonder
about him myself.

He'll be here.

Why would he go through all the trouble
of getting in touch with us the way he did?

Drawing up that contract
if he wasn't gonna follow through?

Well, maybe he found out
he couldn't follow through.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

- Yeah?
SLY: J.R., he's here.

- All right. Show him in.
- It's about time.

I'm sorry I'm late, gentlemen.

I'm still having some trouble
finding my way around Dallas.

How come you're here alone?

Yeah, I thought you were supposed
to be bringing this Windham guy with you.

I'm afraid I've gotta take you guys
out to meet him.

He's living out in California and I couldn't
quite persuade him to come back to Texas.

So now you want us to go to California?

Yeah, just a day or so.

You know, Jack.
I've been thinking about all this.

Something doesn't quite connect.

What's that?

Well, why Jamie
is joining forces with Cliff.

Because if everything
you're telling is true...

...she's gotta know
she's fighting a losing battle.

Well, I'm sure she doesn't know.

She probably still thinks
the paper that Jason had was real.

Hell, I thought so for years.

See, the thing is that Jamie wasn't
more than 18 or 19 at the time I left.

She wasn't around
when I had that tight with Jason.

I bet anything that after I left,
he just kept feeding her the same old lies.

Hell, by then he didn't have much in his life
but those lies.

I sure hope you're right
about what you're saying.

Oh, I am. Don't worry about that.

Hey, you'd better be damn sure
this trip to California is worth our while.

We've got a lot to do
between now and the trial.

We can't afford to waste any time.

Well, I guarantee
you won't be wasting time.

Come talk to Windham.
You'll sleep a lot easier once you do.

WOMAN [OVER LOUDSPEAKER]:
Will the resident in charge an 59 west...

...ca" 133-WEST?

[RATTLES AND BUZZES]

- Hi, Daddy.
- Hi, son.

Brought you a little present.
- Thanks.

[CHUCKLES]

Say, how are you feeling?
A little better, huh?

- Yes.
- Good, good.

Yeah, it's gonna be no time at all
before you're back at Southfork.

Swimming like a seal
in that pool of yours.

When can I come home, Daddy?

When the doctor says so.

But when?

Oh, you probably won't have to stay here
more than one or two days.

- I hope not.
- So do I.

Say, I wanted to tell you, I'm gonna have
to go on a little trip tomorrow...

...so I won't be able to visit you
for a couple of days.

As a matter of fact,
you might be home before I get back.

- Where are you going?
- To California.

It's business for Ewing Oil.

You know, there are a lot of nasty people
around who wanna horn in on our company.

- You're not gonna let them do it, are you?
- Heck, no, of course not.

I promised that one day,
you were gonna get the company.

And the only reason I'm going to California
is so that I can keep that promise.

- You know that, don't you?
- Yes.

Good, good.

Say, hey, where'd you get this?

Mama brought it to me.

Mm-hm. Yeah, she been here, has she?

Yes, she only stayed for a little while.
She wasn't feeling good.

No, she hasn't been feeling good
for some time.

You know, I think we're gonna
have to watch her, you and me.

- Watch her?
- Uh-huh.

She's been doing strange things lately.
Well, we just better keep an eye on her.

You mean like spy on her?

Oh, no, no. Nothing like that.

It's just that it you see he! doing anything
out of the ordinary, you tell me, huh?

Okay. Is it because she's tired, Daddy?

Yeah. Yeah, your mama's real tired,
John Ross.

And we may just have to
send her some place...

...where she can take a nice, long rest.

Charlie, would you pick a card?
You're the slowest person I've ever seen.

I will. Just a minute.

[PHONE RINGS]

Ewing residence.

One moment, please.

- Gin.
- You gotta be kidding me.

- Phone call, Mr. Ewing. It's It. Spaulding.
- Oh, thank you, Teresa.

Let me see your cards.

- I want a rematch, okay?
- Okay.

- Yes, hello, Lee.
- Hello, Bobby.

We got some good news.
I just got word our man's in custody.

That's great. Where is he?

New York City. The police picked him up.

That woman he was traveling with
is his wife.

I can't tell you
how good that makes me feel.

I'll catch the next plane out.

Well, I'm not sure
that would do much good.

Why? I've gotta talk to that guy.

Bobby, the police won't give
you access to him.

You'll get a chance to talk
when we get him to Dallas.

- Well, when is that gonna be?
- Two, three days, I hope.

I'm working
on his extradition papers right now.

Well, that's great news.

I thought you'd like it. So long, Bobby.

Good night.

What is it, Bobby?

The police arrested the man
that may have killed Naldo.

Looks like we're gonna get your mama
out of prison.

Oh, Bobby, I'm so happy.

Then you and Mama can get married...

...and the three of us
can finally be a family.

[SIGHS]

How long have you been here?

Not long.

- Are you going somewhere?
- Yes.

I'm going to California
with J.R. and Bobby.

There's a guy out there who might be able
to help us fight 0” Jamie and Barnes.

Well, hey, the house looks nice.

I mean, no dirty dishes in the sink,
clothes on the floor.

I'm impressed.

I made my own way
before I ever met you.

I can make my own way again.

Well, that's nice to know,
but that's not what I came here for.

Yeah, what did you come here for?

To talk.

A little late for talk, isn't it, Donna?

Ray, I have something to tell you.

What? That you hit another well?

Please.

Look, as far as I'm concerned, you can have
gushers coming up all over Texas.

It isn't what you think.

I told you my side,
then you told me your side.

Then you made it very clear that there
was no way for us to have a middle ground.

You don't even wanna listen.
I think it's important that we discuss this.

Look, at the moment, I'm in a big hurry.
I'm on my way to the airport.

Whatever it is,
it's gonna have to wait until I get back.

All right.

Oh, God.

Cliff?

Cliff, what's going on?

Ha-ha. There's gonna be a wedding,
that's what's going on.

- Not--
- Yup, you and me.

Mr. Mueller here has been kind enough
to cancel an appointment...

...so he can perform ceremony.

- I'm very happy for you.
- Well, that's nice, but--

- Jordan is gonna be my best man.
- Jamie.

I knew you'd want Pam
to be your maid of honor.

Oh, Jamie.

- And Jackie's gonna be our witness.
Congratulations, Jamie.

Thank you, Jackie, but, Cliff--

No, excuse me for just a minute.
Now, look, come here.

Look, I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking that this is all of a sudden
and maybe you're not ready. Huh?

- Yeah, that's exactly what--
- You just forget about that.

Because if you do, you'll never be ready
and I can't wait.

- Why not?
Because I don't want to.

- Now, didn't I ask you to marry me?
- Yes.

- Didn't we go get a marriage license?
- Uh-huh.

Now, can you think of a better date
within the next couple of weeks?

- Well, no.
- Well, then, what's wrong with right now?

Like this?

Sure.

- Okay.
- All right, we're gonna have a wedding.

Here, these are for you.

Boy, she's overwhelmed, isn't she?

Well, of course she is. It's very sudden.

Cliff, are you sure about this?

I have never been more sure
about anything in my life.

I mean, are you getting married
because you love her?

Now, you have to stop asking me
that question. 01 course I love her.

What other reason would there be
to get married?

All right.

We're gonna have a wedding now.
I'm tired of being single.

- We're all set over here.
- Come here.

Well, then, if everybody's ready.

Say the words.

J.R.: Well, a very expensive
little piece of property here.

Well, Wally's done pretty well
for himself.

First in the oil business,
then later, speculating in California land.

How long's Mr. Windham
been out of the oil business?

Well, quite a while.

That's what took me so long
to track him down.

I looked him up once before
after I had that argument with my daddy...

...to see if what Jason told me was true.

BOBBY: Did you see him?
- Yup, I saw him...

...and he confirmed it.

What bothers me is if you'd been quiet
about it and thrown in with your sister...

...you would have gotten one-sixth
of Ewing Oil instead of 1/10th.

To tell you the truth, I was worried
that Wally might read about it...

...and come forward on his own.

That way, I wouldn't have had anything.

Well, hello there, Jack.
Right on time, I see.

Hi, Mr. Windham.

I'd like you to meet some
other members of my family.

- This is J.R.
- Pleasure.

- Bobby.
- Pleasure.

- And Ray.
- Ray Krebbs. Good to meet you, sir.

Well, I'm real happy to meet you.

- Jock Ewing was one hell of a man.
- That he was.

They're interested in the story
you and I talked about on the phone.

The story about Jock,
my daddy and Digger Barnes.

I hope you boys got some time.

We have all the time you need.

Well, then, come on out back
and I'll crack some beers.

We might as well get comfortable, because
this story's gonna take a while to tell.

Follow me.

WOMAN [ON LOUDSPEAKER]: Telephone for
Dr. Mitchell Cooper. Telephone, Dr. Cooper.

This is Dr. Cooper.

Yes, well, calm him down.
Tell him we don't have the results yet.

We'll be getting them
in about 20 minutes.

Dr. Cooper, have you seen Mr. Finch
in ICU today?

Yes, I was up there
about a half hour ago.

We extubated him. He seems stable.

I've been concerned
about that blood pressure drop.

Yeah, well, we're watching it.

They don't give you a free minute here,
do they?

Well, the Bum Center's
a pretty busy place.

Well, I'm really impressed.

Yes, we have some of the best facilities
in the world.

No, I mean with you.
Look at you, you're a real doctor.

You mean as opposed to a quack?

I don't know what I mean.

I guess I just expected you to be the same
as you were when we were married.

But you're not.

You became exactly
what you said you were gonna become.

You're a responsible doctor who's needed
and respected by a lot of people.

Thank you for saying that.

I don't know, I guess I was just
really immature when we were married.

- You weren't alone.
- Yeah, but you, you had this goal.

The only thing I knew how to do
was throw money around.

I had to have the maid service,
my manicures, the condo.

You must have thought
I was a real child back then.

Hey, the fact that we broke up
wasn't all your fault.

I was a pretty bullheaded kid.

You were determined.

You wanted to succeed
and you wanted to do it on your own.

I have to admit, since I've made money,
I've learned to appreciate things it can buy.

I'm glad I made it on my own, though.

I never would've felt good
taking handouts from your family.

Yeah, well, you were right about that.
It took me along time to realize that.

- You know something?
- What?

I am very proud of you.

WOMAN [ON LOUDSPEAKER]: Dr. John Lou, ICU. Dr. Lou, ICU.

Hello, Mitchell.

Hi, Joanna. I would like
to introduce you to Lucy Ewing.

Lucy, this is Joanna Pearce.

Hello.

Hi.

- Well, I'll talk to you later.
- All right.

Mitch, is that the lady
you've been seeing?

Yes.

She's pretty.

I hope I'm not causing any trouble
being here.

No, no, no, don't worry about it.
Uh, come on, I've got a few minutes.

- Let's go get some coffee.
- Okay.

Oh, Sue Ellen,
you're back from the hospital.

I was going to have Clayton
drive me there.

How is John Ross?

- He's coming right along.
- Oh, good.

Miss Ellie, I feel so awful.

How could I neglect
my little baby like that?

But I can't help it. I feel so bad.

After all, John Ross is just a little boy.

Yes, but it's not your fault
that he got sick.

Yeah, I should have known.

How could you have possibly known?
You're not a doctor.

I shouldn't have gone out.

I should have been here
to take care of him.

[SIGHS]

Sue Ellen, you really
are going overboard on this thing.

I mean, you're going to create something
which is very self-destructive.

It isn't necessary.
John Ross is going to be just fine.

The person that you should be concerned
about now is you.

Don't you agree?

I was on my way out back.

Why don't you join me
and we can relax and talk a little?

I'd like to change my clothes first, so I'll
be down in about 15 or 20 minutes, okay?

Okay.

Hey, Donna.

Morning, Clayton.

Well, I came down to get some coffee,
but I guess you got the last cup. Hm?

Well, I'll tell you what.
For you, I will make afresh pot.

[CHUCKLES]

Miss Ellie told me
about the talk you and she had.

And we've been hoping that maybe
a little time away from each other...

...might help you and Ray
solve some of your differences.

But I guess that hasn't happened, huh?

I'm sorry.

Look, Donna, Ray and I are very close.

And mind you, I don't mean to interfere, but
would it help any if I had a talk with him?

If anybody is gonna talk to Ray,
it's gonna have to be me.

I tried.

But now things are just
a lot more complicated.

How complicated can they be?

There's you and Ray,
and you still love each other.

- I guess so.
- Well, then, get busy. Work things out.

[SIGHS]

- Sounds like something Miss Ellie said.
- Well, she's right.

It may sound old-fashioned,
but damn it, I think you could do it.

There's just a lot more to it than that.

There always is.

Clayton, it isn't just me
and Ray anymore.

What do you mean?

I'm pregnant.

Hey...

That's wonderful.

It is wonderful.

But it would be a lot more wonderful
if Ray and I were still together.

Wait a minute.
You're thinking of not having this baby?

No, I'm having it all right.

But why did it have to come now?

I mean, when things
are going good for a couple...

...having a baby is wonderful.

But when things are going badly...

...it can only make things worse.

I know what you're saying, Donna.
but you're not talking about a bad marriage.

Well, I'm sure not talking about
a happy one.

And you haven't told Ray yet?

I tried to tell him.

Try again.

You owe it to him
to let him know as soon as possible.

I know that.

[SIGHS]

Now, you listen to me.

Like we both said,
you love each other very much.

Start there.

And I'm sure that you'll find that
things are not as bad as they seem.

All I want you to do is take a little nap.

And then when you get up,
you can play again for a while...

...and we'll have dinner, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Can I stop pushing you now?

Is Daddy gonna be here when I wake up?

Daddy's in California.

He's gonna be home tomorrow
or the day after that.

Then maybe we'll all spend
some time together.

Just you, me and Daddy.
Wouldn't that be nice?

Yes.

I'll tell you a little secret.

I think it would be.
And you know what else?

What?

I think we're gonna be spending
a lot more time together in the future.

Wouldn't you like that?

Between you and me...

...I would.

WALLY:
Yeah.

Your daddy really earned my respect
for what he did.

The man mortgaged
almost everything he owned at that time.

Well, it's just hard to believe, huh?

That's the way things were
back in those days.

Things moved fast and furious.

Mr. Windham, it sure
would have simplified things for us...

...if you'd made copies of those papers.

Yes, I know and I feel real bad about it.

But like I said...

...they get burned up in a fire
about 30 years ago...

...along with a lot of other stuff of mine.

You sure Jock kept his copies?

You boys know your daddy.
Jock was a very careful man.

Can you imagine him losing something
as important as those documents?

That's been bothering me
from the very beginning.

The fact that he didn't seem
to have those papers.

He had copies of everything.

Then where the hell are they?

- Don't you know?
- We've looked every place we can think of.

Did you talk to Amanda?

RAY:
Amanda?

Daddy's first wife.

He gave most of his papers to her
for safekeeping.

Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense.

All this happened long before
Mama and Daddy were married.

Is she still alive?

She's spent the last 50 years
in a mental institution.

Yeah, the thing is,
even if she does have them...

...she may not remember where they are.

Well, then.
you boys better help her find them.

Because without them...

...you're gonna have two new partners
that I know you don't want.

Yes. Yes. Oh, that's wonderful news.

I'll be sure to tell them. Goodbye, J.R.

How are you feeling, Sue Ellen?

I'm just fine. Thank you.

Thai was JR. on (he phone.
He has some wonderful news.

Evidently, Jock left some documents
with his first wife.

- Amanda. Really?
- Yes.

And if she still has them...

...J.R. thinks
that he'll be able to save Ewing Oil.

Jock was married before?

Yes.

But she's in a mental institution.
She's completely out of touch with reality.

In what way?

Well, it's as if time
just suddenly stopped for her.

She thinks she's living in the past?

She is living in the past.

ELLIE:
Poor woman.

The last time the family when to visit her,
she mistook Bobby for Jock.

- She did?
- Yes, it was very sad.

Bobby was so sweet, he played along
with her and made her feel comfortable.

That must have been
very difficult for him.

Yes, it was.
It's a pity we can't do more for her.

CHARLIE [VOICE OVER]: Dear Mama.
We had dinner and now I'm in my mom.

I'm wearing the pink nightgown
you bought me just before you left.

I've been wearing it a lot
since you went away.

It makes me feel closer to you.

I started school again today.

I was sort of nervous about it.

I thought the kids
might tease me about you.

But I didn't care.
I know you didn't kill anybody.

I'm really lonely without you.

Everybody has been really nice.
Miss Ellie takes me shopping.

Bobby's been great.
But it's not the same without you here.

Bobby is working really hard
to get you out of that place...

...but it seems like it's taking
such a long time.

! don't wanna grow up without you.

You're my mama
and you're supposed to be with me.

[know it's not your fault,
but it still hurts that you're not here.

Anyway...

...I'll always love you very, very much.

Good night, Mama.
Your daughter, Charlie.

RAY: Anything we ought to know
about her health, Dr. Young?

Well, no, not really.

Just that Amanda is quite old
even though she thinks she's still 20.

J.R.: Don't worry. We'll be gentle with her.
- I'm sure you will.

Ah! Here she is now.

- Hello, Amanda.
- Hello.

Now, look who's come to see you.

- Hello, Amanda.
- Jock, is it really you?

Yes, yes, it's me.

Oh, Jock, I'm so glad to see you.

How are you?
Have you been taking care of yourself?

I'm fine, I'm fine. And how about you?

Oh, I have my little activities.

But I missed you.

I've been busy, Amanda.

I thought that was it.

And I worry about you
because you work so hard.

Who are these gentlemen?
Are they with you?

- Yes, ma'am.
- Amanda, this is Ray and J.R. and Jack.

- Oh, how do you do?
- How do you do?

They seem very nice...

...but I would like to spend
some time with you alone.

Do you think they'd mind?

No, I don't think they'd mind at all.
Come on.

Oh, I won't keep him away
from you too long.

- That's all right, ma'am.
- You keep him as long as you like.

Thank you.

After all,
I don't get too many social calls.

Well, this is a social call, Amanda, but
there's another reason I have to talk to you.

I figured it's probably your business.

Yes, it is.

I feel positively awful,
you losing all your money that way.

I have a lot of confidence in you, Jock...

...and I feel sure you'll think of a way
to get it all back again.

Well, I will find a way
to get it back, Amanda, if you help me.

How can I help you?

Do you remember
some papers I gave you?

Papers?

Yes, some documents
that I signed with Mr. Windham.

Oh, yes, I remember him.
He came to the house once or twice.

That's right.

Now, if you recall, I gave you
some papers that he and I signed...

...and I need to know where they are.

Now, let me see.

You take your time and think real hard.
It's real important that I find those papers.

If you gave them to me,
I surely wouldn't lose them.

I didn't think you would.

Now, which papers were they again?

They were some documents
concerning Ewing Oil...

...and me and Digger
and Jason and Mr. Windham.

Well, I'll just have to see
if I can find where I put them.

Would you like to try and find them now?

Yes, I could go and do that now.
And then we could have tea on the veranda.

- I'd like that very much.
- Ah.

Cliff, I told you not to worry
about the money.

I put it up for you.
I don't have to be a pan of your deal.

I just want you to know
how I'm gonna handle it, that's all.

I fully expect that we're gonna make a nice
profit. If we do, I want you to share in it.

But if something goes wrong
and we should take a loss...

...and there's practically no chance of that,
but I will cover your loss myself.

Well, we'll talk about that if it happens.

Cliff, there's a call for you on line 3.

Yeah, I'll take it in my office here.

Hello. What's up?

Yeah?

You're kidding.
All right, all right, thank you.

Pam, Jackie, get in here, hurry up.

- Wait till you hear this.
- What happened?

That was Murphy down in the Gulf.

The Commission just rescinded the ban,
340 is pumping again.

- Finally.
- Cliff, that's great.

Oh, you bet.
We're gonna have a celebration.

Call the Oil Baron's, we'll have a party.

Right away.

- A celebration?
- Yeah, let's get started.

- Well, isn't somebody missing?
- Who?

The girl you just married, Cliff.

If we're going to celebrate,
shouldn't Jamie be here?

- Yeah, of course.
- I'll get her on the phone right away.

Good.

Did you find what you were looking for?

Well, we'll see.

Are these what you're looking for?

May I see them, Amanda?

- Of course.
- Thank you.

- Let me look at them, Bob.
- Yeah.

I suppose you'll be going back
to work now.

Well, I'll have to.

I realize you're very busy,
but I do wish you'd visit me more.

Well, I don't want you
to come too often.

After all, I have things to do
and my friends here to look after.

It is nice to see my husband
every once in a while.

I'll try, Amanda. I'll try.

I'll go get our tea ready.

Well, are those the papers
Windham told us about?

They sure are.

What do you think?

I think Cliff Barnes and Jamie Ewing
are up the creek without a paddle.

I agree.

Well, then...

...who's gonna be the first one
to welcome me to Ewing Oil?
