Dallas (1978–1991): Season 9, Episode 10 - Suffer the Little Children - full transcript

Well, I've always been
one to take advantage...

of an opportunity,
when presented.

- Come on.
- No!

How may I help you?

I want full custody
of John Ross.

A little sex to clinch the deal.

You're trying to do to me what I was
hoping Jack would be doing to you.

What is it you want to say?

That their marriage
is falling apart.

I think their marriage
may very well be over.

Don't you dream of taking my boy from me,
because if you should somehow succeed...



there's not enough room on this
earth to keep you safe from me.

You don't think we should
stay, just in case he needs us?

No.

I think when Donna finally comes out of
it, the only one she'll want will be Ray.

It was awful.

I wanted to try and find
something to say to comfort him...

but there's nothing you can say.

Look, they lost the baby,
but at least Donna's fine.

In time, they'll have another.

ELLIE: Thanks for coming, Jack.

I know how much it meant to Ray.

You wanna come back
to the ranch with us?

No, thanks. I think I'm
just gonna head on home.

[NURSE SPEAKING
INDISTINCTLY OVER INTERCOM]



You're a nice man.

I'll call you.

Okay.

I just don't see why you got back
together after you were already divorced.

[SIGHS]

Oh, honey, it was
real complicated.

Sue Ellen had my son...

the judge had given her custody.

And are you sure
that's the only reason?

[SIGHS]

Well, to be honest with you, no.

That particular period of time I wanted
Sue Ellen, I couldn't have her and...

Well, like I say, it was a real
complicated relationship we had.

J.R., are you sure
all that's in the past?

What did Sue Ellen say to
you at the rodeo today, anyhow?

MANDY: She warned
me against you.

She said you'd do to me just
what you've done to everyone else.

Now, that's because she
doesn't see the difference...

between you and everybody.

How did you feel, seeing
her with Dusty Farlow?

He's the one she left
you for before, isn't he?

You seem to know
a lot about my past.

People were
talking about it today.

Yeah, well, there's nothing
the good folks of Dallas...

like better than a
juicy piece of gossip.

You still haven't
answered my question.

[SIGHS]

Well, in a way,
I'm happy for her.

I'm glad she stopped drinking...

and maybe this Dusty Farlow
can make a better life for her.

I don't know.

As long as I have you and John
Ross, I wish her all the very best.

Damn, it was hard being out there
and not being able to touch you all day.

I know. I wanted you too.

[SIGHS]

- It was so
beautiful. J.R.: What?

Southfork. I never
imagined it was so grand.

Well, if you like it,
it's gonna be yours.

- J.R.
- No.

You just keep me happy, and
anything you want is gonna be yours.

PATRICIA: Sue Ellen, I've put up
with your silence all the way home.

There are some things
we have to discuss.

Obviously, there's
nothing I wanna talk about.

You mean it didn't
bother you him parading

that little tramp in
front of all your friends?

Mother, I'm gonna tell you one more time.
I don't care what J.R. does or who he sees.

[PATRICIA SCOFFS]

The reason for that is
painfully obvious to me.

It has nothing to do with Dusty.

It has to do with me.

Now, I would
greatly appreciate it...

if you would go into the
house so I can talk to Dusty.

PATRICIA: Please, Sue
Ellen, don't invite him in.

[DUSTY SIGHS]

I get the feeling your
mother doesn't approve of me.

[SIGHS]

It really doesn't matter.

- Quite a day, huh?
- Yes.

There was a time
not too long ago...

when I don't think I could have
gotten through that day. Heh.

And now you can.

I didn't have a drink.

I didn't all day.

And I'm not even blaming
anyone else for my problems.

I hope you know what
today meant to me.

That was today.

That may not be
tomorrow, or the day after.

Sue Ellen, no matter how much
you think you may have changed...

you can't deny what's
always been between us.

It was there the first
time I ever saw you.

And it still is.

What do you want?

I want to look around
and find us a place to live...

and then get you out of here,
and see if we can't make it together.

I can't do that.

I thought I explained
that at the rodeo.

But that was before
we made love.

And it was wonderful.

There is something so
very special about you...

but I'm not ready to put my life in
someone else's hands again so soon.

What do you want?

I want you to be a part of my
life, don't misunderstand that.

But not to live with.

[SIGHS]

At least, not until I'm a lot more
sure of myself than I am now.

I hope you can handle this. I
don't wanna lose you, Dusty.

But I'm not gonna give
up myself to get you.

I can't believe it.

Oh, not again. I don't
wanna hear his name again.

It's not even as
though I trust him.

[SIGHS]

Why don't you wait till
you talk to Angelica Nero...

before you decide whether
he's operating behind your back?

I don't know how Bobby
put up with it all those years.

Bobby was his brother.
It does make a difference.

I'm sorry.

Well, like you said, we can't
pretend Bobby never existed.

- But...
- What?

We have to lay
some ground rules.

Number one, I don't want us
spending our time together...

talking about your
tough day at the office.

At least not more than
five minutes' worth.

- Should I buy a timer?
- And number two:

You can have a couple of minutes
complaining about J.R. over dinner.

I might even talk about
Graisco and the research center.

That seems fair.

But once we start up those stairs
and we come through that door...

I don't wanna know about the
Ewings, their business, or anything...

except Pam and Mark.

- You're very demanding.
- It's been a long day.

- That's true.
- Hmm.

It think it's gonna
be a longer night.

I hope so.

[PAMELA CHUCKLES]

[INHALING DEEPLY]

Hey.

Oh, Donna...

Can I get you anything?

A glass of water?

Hmm.

The doctor says
you're gonna be fine.

So you're gonna
be all right now.

We, uh...

We...

We, uh...

[SIGHS]

We lost the baby.

[WHIMPERS]

He said there was
nothing he could do.

[SIGHS]

I...

I feel like it's my fault.

If only I hadn't acted the way
I did when I found out about it.

[DONNA SIGHS]

Maybe God is punishing me for...

[DONNA SOBS]

[CRYING] I need you.

[SIGHS]

I'm so glad you made it.

[SOBS]

WOMAN: Good morning, Mrs. Ewing.
- Good morning.

PHYLLIS: Good morning, Mrs. Ewing.
- Good morning.

- Phyllis, could we talk for a moment?
- Of course.

SLY: Mrs. Ewing?
- Yes?

J.R. asked if you could
please stop in his office.

- Well, tell him I'll be in in a
few minutes. SLY: Yes, ma'am.

She'll be in in a
few minutes, J.R.

Sit down.

Phyllis, I know how
loyal you were to Bobby...

and how unsure you are
about staying on with me.

That's true.

I've been interviewing, you know,
and I really can't find anyone I like.

Well, I'd be willing to
stay on until you do.

Well, what I'd like
to do is stop looking.

I'd like you to stay on and help
me the way you helped Bobby.

I didn't know how
you'd feel about that.

I just didn't wanna be around
here reminding you of him...

if it was painful for you.

No, I know how much
Bobby thought of you...

and all the more reason
I'd like you to stay.

Well, you've got yourself
a secretary, Mrs. Ewing.

- Well, that's great.
PHYLLIS: Good.

Okay. And, Phyllis, since I am
going to be here on a regular basis...

why don't you call me Pam?

Yes, ma'am. I mean, Pam.

All right, that's better.

Now it's time for J.R.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Come in.

- Good morning. J.R.:
Good morning, Pam.

Please sit down.

I talked to Angelica
Nero this morning.

She told me that you
feel left out of our deal.

Oh, I think that's
just how I feel.

Well, would it surprise you to
know that we don't have a deal?

What we do have is a
very interesting proposal.

Pam, I don't like it, but I'm
willing to accept the fact...

that you have a
right to be here.

So I'd like to explain a
little bit about how I work...

how I've always worked, and how
everybody in the oil industry works...

except for your brother.

- J.R...
- All right, all right.

Well, the point I'm
trying to make is...

I get 500 offers a day
coming across my desk.

Everything from wacky
inventions to race horses.

And I think if there's any
merit in these things...

I try to get as much
information as I can on them.

I have my experts double-check
and triple-check all the specs.

And if I think Ewing Oil
should proceed with it...

then, and only then,
do I consult my partner.

Well, that sounds
reasonable to me.

Now, Marinos Shipping has
made a very interesting proposition.

These are all the facts and figures,
and I think it's a very good project.

I'd like you to take all this
information and look it over.

Talk to our department heads,
talk to Mark Graison if you want to.

But I just want you to know
that despite what you feel...

about my operating practices,
and how I feel about you personally...

I'm not operating
behind your back.

Well, you know that I haven't
had any reason to trust you.

Nor have you had any reason...

to believe that I would go into a
venture that would endanger Ewing Oil.

That's true, and if I owe
you an apology, you have it.

And thank you, I would like to have
all the information on Marinos Shipping.

I'll have Sly give it to you.

Good.

I'll let you know what I
think when I've read it.

Please do.

Tower suite, please.

Angelica, this is
J.R. Ewing here.

Uh, could we meet
later in the day?

Heh, yeah, I think I might be able
to ease your mind on interference.

Good.

See you then.

SLY [ON INTERCOM]: Yes, sir?

Sly, would you give Mrs. Ewing all
the documents on Marinos, please?

SLY: Yes, sir.

JOHN ROSS: Watch this, Grandma.

All right, but don't slip.

- Hello, Patricia. JOHN
ROSS: Hi, Grandma.

Hello, Ellie.

Hello, John Ross.

Look at you. Ha, ha.

Oh, oh, be careful. You're wet.

Didn't Mama come with you?

PATRICIA: No, she's resting.

Now, you go back for a swim
while I talk to your Grandma Ewing.

- Go on. JOHN ROSS: Okay.

Farlow.

[SIGHS]

Of course, Ellie. I'm still
not used to that name.

I am.

I'm sorry.

Well, uh, may I sit down?

Is there a special reason
for this visit, Patricia?

Or did you just come
by to see John Ross?

Well, I came out because I
feel you and I need to talk.

CHARLIE: Marco. JOHN ROSS: Polo.

I can't imagine about what.

Well, surely, you're as distressed as I
am about what went on at that rodeo.

You mean Donna?

She's all right. She came
through the surgery well.

But I'm... I'm sad to say
they did lose the baby.

Um...

Oh... Oh, yes, yes, of
course. What a shame.

But I was talking about
Sue Ellen and J.R.

Well, what about them?

I think Sue Ellen's
making wonderful progress.

I'm very... Very happy for her.

Well, she is, but I was really
talking about their marriage.

Patricia, do you really think
that's any of our business?

PATRICIA: Of course it is.

We're talking about my
daughter and your son.

I'm very concerned about Sue Ellen,
and you know how fond I am of J.R...

which is why I think
it is our business.

Patricia, what is
it you want to say?

My distinct impression is that
their marriage is falling apart.

Did you see J.R. flaunting that
little harlot in front of everyone?

Patricia, there is one thing
I do agree with you about.

I think their marriage
may very well be over.

Well, I... I don't
think it's gone that far.

Well, that's because you
haven't been around very much.

While you were running all over Europe, I
was watching them tear each other apart.

That's not fair of you, Ellie.

Well, I didn't
intend it to be fair...

but for a long time now they
haven't been happy together.

Maybe they'll be happy
when they're apart.

I don't say this lightly, because
I love Sue Ellen very much...

and she's the mother of my
grandson, and for all their problems...

he is the one good thing that's
come out of their marriage.

JOHN ROSS: Watch this.

Our grandchild.

You're right.

At least something good, something
important has come from their marriage.

J.R.: Mm.

You know, that's
good. That's very good.

Uh, Beluga, double-O?

ANGELICA: Actually,
it's Caspian Imperial.

Oh, really?

You don't think you'll have any
problem with your new partner?

Oh, no. No, I leveled with her.

I saw no reason not to.

Heh, even she can see what a great
team Marinos and Ewing's gonna make.

Oh, I'm delighted
we all agree on that.

Now, what about Dimitri Marinos?

What about him?

Well, is he gonna show up in person
to cement this little arrangement?

Oh, he rarely leaves his island.

Oh, I know. I've been
reading up on him.

Doesn't particularly care
for publicity, does he?

No, he doesn't.

It's the reason he
gives me full authority.

Well, when it comes right down to it,
I suppose I could fly over to meet him.

ANGELICA: Why don't
we take one step at a time?

You still haven't given me
your proposal on the drilling.

Well, I'm working on
that with my cousin Jack.

You know, he's really a
bright fella. Good-looking too.

Women just flock to him.

Do they?

Mm-hm.

Anyhow, we'll be ready to put
it down on paper pretty soon.

Say, why don't the three
of us have lunch tomorrow?

We can talk it
over a little further.

Fine.

When and where?

The Oil Baron's, about 1:00?

Wonderful. I'll see you then.

Looking forward to it.

Oh, listen, what did you
call that caviar again?

ANGELICA: Oh, Caspian Imperial.
- I'm gonna get myself a bunch of that.

Well, I'd be happy
to send you some.

- Would you?
- Yes, of course.

Thank you. I'll see
you for lunch tomorrow.

Goodbye.

[SIGHS]

We're going to have to be
very careful with this Mr. Ewing.

Do you think he
suspects anything?

I'm not sure.

I'll know better tomorrow.

[FOOTSTEPS]

Mother?

In here, dear.

Where have you been
all day? I was worried.

I went to an AA meeting, and then
I went to see Donna at the hospital.

Oh, yes. Everyone's
very concerned about her.

How do you know that?

I went out to Southfork
today to see John Ross.

You didn't tell me
you were going.

PATRICIA: Oh, it was a
spur of the moment decision.

And I'm glad I went.

It brought something
into sharp focus.

And what's that?

As far as the Ewing family is
concerned, your marriage is over.

And what Ewing did
you get that from?

J.R.?

Ellie.

[SUE ELLEN SCOFFS]

I don't think that you should
be very surprised at that.

Although I know you wanted
me to go back with J.R.

PATRICIA: You're right, I did.

For all the same reasons I wanted
you to marry him in the first place.

Power, money...

all the prestige that went
with being Mrs. J.R. Ewing.

I thought that would
make you happy.

It's what I always
wanted for you.

- And now?
- I was wrong.

I see you're happier apart.

Maybe even with that cowboy.

It's time for you to get on with your
life, away from J.R., away from Southfork.

Huh.

I can't believe I'm really
hearing you say that.

You've changed, Sue Ellen.

So have I.

I just want you to be happy.

Mother.

[PATRICIA SOBBING]

Um, there's, uh, just one thing.

Seeing John Ross today...

having him tell me how much he
misses you, how much he needs you...

how can you stand not
having him here with you?

I hate not being with him.

I really do.

I thought your lunch
today was important.

Oh, it is.

Well, if you left right now,
you'd just barely be on time.

Oh, that's all right.

It'll give Jack an opportunity
to get to know Angelica.

So you're gonna be late on purpose
so they can be alone together?

Well, it can't hurt.

From what I've been able to
see, she's got the hots for that boy.

And I've closed many a deal with
a lot less than that going for me.

Is that the famous Ewing touch?

[J.R. CHUCKLES]

I've always been one to take advantage
of an opportunity when presented.

Besides, I'd much rather
be in this nice tub with you.

No way. I'm not
getting my hair wet.

J.R.: Oh, why not, darling?
- No, because I just dried it.

- Come on.
- No!

You look wonderful
with bubbles in your hair.

You're gonna be really late now.

But clean. Real clean.

Is J.R. always this prompt?

Oh, I'm sure there's a
good reason he's late.

ANGELICA: I'm sure.

I suppose we could go over
some of the details, if you like.

I'm not sure that
would do much good.

What do you mean?

Well, it's very flattering that
J.R. wanted me here with you...

but my experience in the oil business has
always been on the other side of the desk.

I mean, the thing I know best is
the practical end of the business...

being out on the job, drilling.

Not putting deals together.

But J.R. speaks
of you as a partner.

Ha, ha, ha.

Well, I think he kind of
regards that as an honorary title.

Useful, though, if it comes down to a
power struggle between him and Pam.

Do you think that might happen?

I think J.R. can tell
you that better than I.

Look, I don't know about
you, but I'm starving.

And since it's not gonna do much
good to talk to me about business...

what do you say we order, huh?

Why don't we?

You really ought not
underestimate yourself, Jack.

You may be more important
to this deal than you realize.

- Hi. PAMELA: Hello.

[SIGHS]

- Can I help you?
- No.

I was kind of hoping
you wouldn't move out.

Well, that's not the impression I got. I
thought I was your number-one enemy.

Well, you were,
but I'm over that.

Well, I'm not, Cliff.
You really hurt me.

You did.

You're not the only one.

Did you know that
Jamie moved out?

Yes. Does that
really matter to you?

CLIFF: Yeah, it does.

I mean, I didn't think it would, but she
wouldn't even talk to me at the rodeo.

I don't blame her. She thinks I'm as
big a jerk as everybody else does, but...

[SIGHS]

Funny thing, I love her.

Do you really mean that?

Yeah. But she
won't even talk to me.

She won't even listen to what I have to
say, so I was hoping maybe you would help.

No.

Don't you wanna know
what I was gonna say?

No, I don't.

Cliff, you're my
brother, and despite

everything that you've
done, I still love you.

And I always will, but I'm
not going to do this for you.

If you want her, go
get her back yourself.

Tell her what you told me.

If you love her, she's worth it.

Oh, yeah. No, she is.

You know, no matter
what happens...

I mean, like, you over
at Ewing, and me here...

well, we can't let that change
anything because we're blood.

And we're all the Barnes family
that's left, so we should never lose that.

We never will.

Hmm.

[NURSE SPEAKING
INDISTINCTLY OVER INTERCOM]

Hey.

How you feeling? Hmm?

Doctor says you're doing real
well. You'll be able to go home soon.

You'll feel a lot better
when you get home.

Everybody sends their best.

They'd all like to see you.

Sue Ellen was
by here last night.

Soon as you say the word, you
can have lots of visitors, honey...

if that's what you want.

Oh, Donna.

I know how badly this hurt you.

But you can't go on bottling
it up inside of you like this.

Sooner or later, you and me
are gonna have to talk about it.

There's nothing to
talk about. It's over.

We have to talk about what
happens now, about our future.

Donna Krebbs, I am not gonna
let you shut me out like this.

Whatever happens, we're
gonna see it through together.

I love you.

I'll be here when you wake up.

DORA MAE: Afternoon, Mr. Ewing.

Dora Mae, you're
looking lovely, as usual.

Thank you, sir.

- My cousin Jack here?
- Yes, sir.

But he just paid his check,
so I'll take you to him.

- No, no, that's all right, I'll find him.
- Okay.

- Well, Cassie, I'll have my usual, please.
- Yes, Mr. Ewing.

- Hey, Jack,
Angelica. JACK: J.R.

Hey, uh, you gotta remember to
put all this on the Ewing account.

After all, it is a
business lunch.

Well, not exactly.

Now, don't tell me you two have been
taking advantage of old J.R. being late.

Whatever we did,
we were here on time.

Ah, well, I'm sorry about that.

Uh, what happened was, I had a meeting
with some old boys I really respect.

I mean, they're sharp people.

They asked me a question
that I just couldn't answer.

I thought you had the
answer to everything.

Well, no. But maybe you do.

What would you like to know?
Although, I'm running late.

Ah, well, this
won't take too long.

These old boys were saying some
real nice things about Ewing Oil.

About how well it was run and how
much it had grown in the last few years.

ANGELICA: I know that.

I had you checked
out thoroughly.

Ah. Well, I reckon you have.

Well, anyhow, they asked me this
question that I just couldn't answer.

They said, "How come Marinos Shipping,
with all its multi-multi-millions...

is gonna make this
deal with Ewing Oil?"

I mean, we're just a little independent
company. Uh, not bad for Dallas...

but, well, compared to the Seven Sisters
and even Westar, we're small potatoes.

How come Marinos
didn't go to one of them?

Do you doubt your
ability to hold up your end?

Well, I don't know if
there's gonna be an end.

I'm beginning to wonder if
this is a good deal for Ewing Oil.

You're kidding.

No, I'm dead serious. That's
what I wanna talk about.

Well, I'm late.

You may come by tonight. I'll
give you all the time you need.

I think I'll take a rain check. I
don't think you two need me tonight.

How about 9:00?

Fine. I'll see you then.

[J.R. CLEARS THROAT]

- Thank you, Cassie.
- Sir.

Well, what was that all about?

It's just that time of the
game. Time to play hardball.

SECRETARY [ON INTERCOM]:
Mr. Reece, Mrs. Ewing is here.

Ask her to come in, please.

Mrs. Ewing, Philip Reece.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Now, have a seat, please.

Would you, uh,
care for some coffee?

SUE ELLEN: No, thank you.

How may I help you?

My husband and
I are living apart.

He's living at Southfork.

I'm living with my mother
in a house in Turtle Creek.

Yes?

My son...

Our son is living with him.

REECE: Yes?

I want him with me.

I wanna take him from Southfork.

I want full custody
of John Ross.

[KNOCKING]

Yeah?

- Who is it? CLIFF:
I wanna talk to you.

But you're gonna
have to open the door.

The hell I do.

Look, damn it, open the
door. It can't hurt to talk.

[SIGHS]

Can I come in?

You're wasting your time.

[SIGHS]

I want you to come back to me.

[SCOFFS]

No way.

I can't believe I was dumb enough
to marry you in the first place.

All right, why did you?
Why did you marry me?

Because I thought
you were different.

I thought I saw something
in you that nobody else saw.

A sweetness, a vulnerability.

I thought you cared about me.

But you don't care about anybody
in the whole world except yourself.

Why the hell did
you marry me, Cliff?

Because I thought between the two
of us, we could take over Ewing Oil.

I thought the documents our
fathers left us would do the trick.

I used you.

Not that I didn't like you and that I
didn't enjoy making love to you, I did.

Why don't you just get the hell
out of here and leave me alone?

Because I have to let
you know how I feel.

I married you for all
the wrong reasons.

I didn't really want a wife.

But we spent a
lot of time together.

I started looking forward to
coming home and finding you there.

I miss you.

Well, why don't you get
yourself a puppy dog?

It'll be there when you get
home. It'll even wag its tail for you.

Look, I didn't really love
you when we got married...

and I don't know when that started
to change, but I do love you now.

And it hurts when
you're not there.

I want you to come home.

Oh, Cliff, I just don't know.

I don't know if I can change.

I want to, and I'll try, but, golly,
I need you there to help me.

Because I don't
wanna be without you.

I want you to come home and be my
wife, and if I can make you happy, I will.

I do love you.

Okay, we'll try.

Please, come in.

Well, thank you.

J.R.: Well...

You know, I came in here
thinking I was the spider.

Now I'm beginning
to feel like the fly.

You're quite safe, I assure you.

J.R.: Now, tell me.

Have you had time to think about an
answer to that question I asked you?

I didn't really have
to think about it.

Actually, I was beginning to
wonder when you would ask.

Hmm. So?

We came to Ewing Oil because
you have something to offer...

that none of the others have.

J.R.: What's that?
- You.

J.R. Ewing.

You are the one we want.

The personal touch, is that it?

I don't think you'll regret it.

Is that something
that you see too?

Perhaps.

I was under the impression
that Jack was your cup of tea.

You all had something going.

A little sex to
clinch the deal...

is that it?

Well, unless I
missed my guess...

you're trying to do to me what I was
hoping Jack would be doing to you.

So I am.

Of course, it's a pleasure.

You know, I
always like to think...

that I could have any woman
I wanted anytime I wanted.

But this is a little
fast even for me.

Now, I don't understand
what's going on, and until I do...

there's no deal with Ewing Oil.

We're out. O-U-T.

So you get in touch with
Dimitri, and get your instructions.

And then you tell
me what he says.

I don't take instructions
from anyone.

Nobody.

If you come to terms with me, I'll
tell you everything you need to know.

Now...

if that's not good enough for you,
and you want O-U-T, then get out.

Go.

See, you're good.
You're really very good.

It takes a lot of courage to run
a little bluff like that on old J.R.

But I don't think you
really want me to leave.

It's been a long time since
I've seen a woman like you.

You just might be
all a man can handle.

All and then some.

John Ross.

JOHN ROSS: Watch this, Mom.

SUE ELLEN: Oh.

Oh, sweetheart,
that was fantastic.

COWBOY: Want me to take your horse?
- Thanks.

- Oh, have I missed you.
- I missed you too.

- How come you knew I was here?
- Clayton told me.

He said you go
riding all the time.

We can go together.

Well, maybe not this time, but I
would like to spend the day with you.

Maybe go to a movie,
or whatever you like.

That'd be neat.

John Ross, do you get lonely with
Daddy at work and me not here?

Not very much. I play
with Charlie sometimes.

And I've got my horse.
But I miss you a lot.

Well, I think very soon we may
be spending all our time together.

You coming back home?

Would you like us to
live together again?

You bet.

I've missed you.

J.R.: I want all the
information you can get on him.

Mr. Ewing, Dimitri
Marinos is impossible.

He only comes off that
island once or twice a year.

He never has his picture
taken. He never gives interviews.

He's worse than
Howard Hughes was.

I don't have time to listen to you tell
me why you can't do what I want done.

Now, just do it.
Whatever it takes.

And while you're at it, get me a
complete history on Angelica Nero.

- She is his chief executive officer.
- I suppose you want it yesterday.

Yes, of course I
do. Now, that's all.

- Yes? SLY [ON INTERCOM]:
Mr. Smithfield is here.

He says he has to see you.

J.R.: Send him right in.
Uh, Pete, keep in touch.

Will do.

Trouble, J.R.

- What are you all riled up about?
- I mean maybe real trouble for you.

This letter was hand-delivered to me
about an hour ago from Philip Reece.

He's a lawyer Sue
Ellen has retained.

Well, divorce?

No, legal separation and
permanent custody of John Ross.

Where's my son?

Our son is at Southfork. Did
you think I'd kidnapped him?

What you're thinking
of doing is just that.

He's my son, and
he belongs with me.

J.R.: Never.

I lost my daddy, I lost my
brother. He's all I got left.

And he's all I have left after
10 years of hell with you.

Then give me a divorce.

Marry that cowboy. Do
any damn thing you want.

But don't you even dream
of taking my boy from me.

Because if you should
somehow succeed...

there's not enough room on this
earth to keep you safe from me, honey.
