Dallas (1978–1991): Season 9, Episode 16 - Twenty-Four Hours - full transcript

The efforts to locate Jack Ewing intensify as Jamie lies unconscious and with J.R. having his own reasons for joining in the search. The urgency of finding a compatible blood donor for Jamie sends all the Ewings on the search for her brother.

What are you telling
me? She could die?

If we don't find her brother, we
may not be able to save her life.

You have no way of knowing
what I put Jack through.

It's because of me that
Jack's not here for Jamie.

It's because of me
that Jamie's gonna die.

If anybody has seen this man, I
am personally offering $25,000...

for anybody with information
that will lead us to him.

There's hundreds of people looking
for him, which is good news for us...

but it's not gonna
do Jamie any good.

I'll go tell her husband.

CLIFF: Tell me what?



[EQUIPMENT BEEPING]

Coleman, get
this to the lab, stat.

Yes, doctor.

- How is she?
- She's stabilized for the moment.

We're into a
high-risk situation.

The lab, however, has completed
the antigen analysis of her blood.

So we can call the
blood banks in on this.

Isn't there something the
research center can do?

Well, we can certainly help.

I'll call Dr. Kenderson.

I'll have him put our computer
facilities at your disposal.

Our data files
aren't complete...

but maybe if we're lucky,
we can find a match.

Luck is what we're
gonna need, Mr. Graison.



Is there any word yet
on your wife's brother?

No, uh-uh, no.

We've left messages for him
everywhere we can think of.

He's bound to show up soon.

I certainly hope you're right.

Because the odds are in favor that
his blood will match Mrs. Barnes'...

better than anyone else's that we're
likely to locate in the time we have left.

Yeah. What do you mean,
in the time we have left?

If we don't find a compatible
donor for your wife...

she's in grave danger
of losing kidney function.

And that may trigger the
shutdown of the other organs.

What are you telling
me, that she could die?

The next 24 hours
are gonna be critical.

Now, we're gonna
do everything we can.

But if we don't find the blood,
if we don't find her brother...

we may not be
able to save her life.

JENNA: Are you
sure you feel all right?

Mom, I'm fine.
I'm just a little tired.

Stop worrying about me.

You know, I am your mother.
I'm supposed to worry about you.

What are you reading?

Catcher in the Rye?

It's okay, isn't it?

Hmm, I guess so. It's,
um, practically a classic.

Dana lent it to me.

Mom, you know how I told you...

that Dana and Elizabeth were
going to Whitley Academy?

JENNA: Mm-hm.

Well, can I go too?

- Absolutely not.
- Why not?

Because you're too young to go
off to boarding school, that's why.

Mom, I'd be home on the
weekends, and I'd call you every day.

Plus, I'd be getting
a great education.

You're already getting a great education.
And I don't want you living away from me.

I'm afraid, young
lady, that's that.

Can't we even talk about it?

We just did.

If Bobby were here,
he would let me go.

He would at least listen to me.

You know, I have listened
to you. The answer is still no.

Thanks for nothing.

You better watch your tone of
voice when you talk to me, young lady.

One hour and lights are out.

MANDY: You're awfully quiet
tonight. What are you thinking?

J.R.: Oh, something happened
at the office this morning.

You wanna talk about it?

No, darling, I don't
wanna bother you.

It's no bother.

If something's troubling
you, I wanna hear it.

Well, this morning, one of my
best engineers just up and quit.

Went to work for Westar.

Why'd he do that?

Well, he said he felt he wasn't
getting a fair deal at Ewing.

Westar made him a better offer.

Oh, God, I thought
we trusted each other.

And then he just leaves and
goes to work for a rival company.

Well, that sort of thing happens
in business all the time, doesn't it?

Yeah, maybe.

But I'm a reasonable man. We
could've worked something out.

He never even told me
what his problem was.

He never talked to you
about it before today?

Gave you a chance to
improve on Westar's offer?

No.

Heh, I'm not a mind reader.

How was I to know
he was unhappy?

How do you know something like that
unless somebody comes and tells you?

J.R., what would you say if...?

Pardon me, Mr. Ewing. You
wanted to make a call at 9:00.

All right, thanks.

That, um, Angelica
wanted me to call her at 9.

Uh, go ahead. What
were you saying?

Angelica?

Yeah. She can wait.

Go on.

It was nothing. Really.

I have been traveling
17 hours to get here.

You should've
taken the Concorde.

Look, it's almost 6:00 in the morning,
my time, and I have no patience for this.

Now, what we thought we would
have to wait months to accomplish...

could now be dealt
with in a matter of days.

And what do I arrive to hear you tell me?
That Jack Ewing is nowhere to be found.

Forget about Jack
Ewing for the moment.

And tell me how you managed
to move that, uh, schedule up.

You know, the details you
couldn't trust to a telephone call.

A conference of oil ministers.

It was to be held in Kuwait.

But at the last minute...

they decided to include some
sightseeing on the itinerary.

The weather is very nice in
Venezuela this time of year.

And they'll certainly have
something to see, won't they?

I was able to arrange
for our participation.

Actually, the ministers
were quite pleased...

that Marinos Shipping
is interested in the talks.

We have been avoiding
their advances for some time.

With good reason.

And as far as the rest?

The Marinos' yacht will
be anchored in the harbor...

by the time the conference
starts the day after tomorrow.

Excellent.

Excellent?

Only if our guest
of honor is there.

He will be there.
You've got my word.

Now...

I suggest you check in to
your room and get some sleep.

Because tomorrow morning
you'll be catching flight to Caracas...

to oversee the arrangements.

Grace, will you call
him a bellman, please?

My pleasure.

- You will be joining me on
the flight? ANGELICA: No.

There are some things I
still have to do here first.

But I'll see you on the yacht, and
I'll have Jack Ewing on my arm.

[SPEAKING IN GREEK]

[SPEAKING IN GREEK]

ELLIE: He didn't let anyone
know where he was going?

As far as we can tell, no
one's heard from him for days.

We're really at a loss.

Surely they're trying to get
blood from other sources?

Yes.

Graison Research is doing all they
can to help, as well as the blood banks.

But it all depends on when they find
a source and if the donor's available.

- Sue Ellen.
- Yeah?

We didn't know you were
back. How's Jamie doing?

Well, she's worse than
when I talked to you before.

Cliff's spending the
night at the hospital.

Well, no one's gonna be of any
use to anyone if we stay up all night.

It's 1 in the morning
now. Why don't we...?

Why don't we all go to bed
and get a fresh start tomorrow?

I think we ought to check
with those horse breeders...

we've been doing
business with lately.

See if Jack's been
in touch with them.

You don't suppose
he's on some side trip...

to check on that stud horse
we were talking about, do you?

I don't think he'd go
without saying anything to us.

It's worth a call.

[SIGHS]

Look, is there anything
at all that we can do?

Yes, there is.

I think we should all go to the
hospital tomorrow and donate blood.

Unfortunately, it won't
do Jamie any good...

but it'll help replenish
the blood bank's supply.

That poor girl.

Just when she and Cliff
were finally so happy.

It's my fault.

What did you say?

It's all my fault.

If I hadn't had that fight with
Jack, he'd be here right now.

Well, that's not
necessarily true, Jenna.

Yes, it is.

If I hadn't have sent him away,
he'd be here to save his sister.

If she dies, I'm responsible.

You didn't cause that accident.

Oh, I didn't cause the accident, but I
caused everything else, don't you see?

Don't blame yourself, Jenna.

I deserve the blame.

- That's not true.
- Oh, yes, it is.

Nothing good happens
to anyone who loves me.

This is no ordinary
missing-person's report, Wyatt.

It's critical that
we find him today.

WYATT: But, J.R., you know my
authority only extends to the county line.

I'll put it on wire to
rest of the state...

but I can't guarantee anybody's
gonna pick it up as high-priority.

Wyatt, we're talking
about my cousin Jamie.

Her life is at stake.
You understand that?

If there's anything I can do
for you, J.R., you know I will.

I'll get on it personally.

I appreciate it.

What do you expect to find by
looking out the window, J.R.?

Certainly not Jack.

Certainly not.

The sheriff's out
looking for him.

So is the police
department. They'll find him.

How did you manage that?

Didn't you read the papers this
morning? His sister's in the hospital.

Oh, yes, I did read an
item about the accident.

Yes, that's too bad.

But his presence doesn't
have anything to do...

one way or the other
with her survival.

That's the irony of it.
Everybody else thinks it does.

Stop talking in riddles.

Jamie has a rare
factor in her blood.

And the doctors, thinking that
Jack comes from same parents...

expect him to have
the same blood type.

Hmm.

And if he doesn't?

They won't give anything away.

You and I know that Jack
is not Jason Ewing's son.

And even if he and Jamie
were true brother and sister...

there's a good chance that
their blood wouldn't match.

In the meantime, there's
hundreds of people looking for him...

which is good news for us.

But it's not gonna
do Jamie any good.

WOMAN [OVER INTERCOM]:
Dr. Lloyd Greg, LND. Dr. Greg, LND.

Dr. McCann, CVT.
Dr. McCann, CVT.

Dr. Kenfield. Doctor...

Any word yet?

Nothing's changed in the
last half hour, Mr. Barnes.

We're still waiting for
confirmation of that source in Tulsa.

- And my wife?
- I just checked on her again.

Her condition hasn't changed.

[SIGHS]

WOMAN [OVER INTERCOM]:
Dr. David Kenfield wanted in ER.

- I'm sorry. I've gotta
go. CLIFF: Sure.

I'll let you know the
minute I know anything.

Yeah, peace, quiet.

Nothing to worry you.

I can see why you could
sure get used living out here.

MAN: Yep, first time I saw it, I knew I'd
never find a good enough reason to leave.

I think it's gonna
take me a while...

to figure out a real good
reason to leave, myself.

Mm.

Your wife's a good cook.

Trouble back home?

Yeah, you might say that.

Woman trouble?

[CHUCKLING]

Well, got it written
all over me, huh?

[CHUCKLES]

It's not the first time I've seen it.
Let's just say I recognize the look.

You see, you would
think that would help.

I mean, knowing I'm not
the first guy in the world...

that's ever gone through this.

Yeah, well, it should help,
heh, heh, but it never does.

Hell, men been going through same thing
ever since Eve bit in that apple. Ha, ha.

Doesn't make a
dang bit of difference.

Well, if that was meant to be
comforting, ha, ha, I'm not sure it worked.

Well, all that works is time.

Well, that, at least, is
something I've got plenty of.

In fact, you know, I might wanna
stay here longer than we talked about.

That's no problem.

I don't have anybody
booked in for another month.

Yep, I could sure
learn to like this.

I may even decide
never to go back to Dallas.

What about your family?

All I really got's my sister...

and, well, she's got her
husband to take care of her.

So all I've got to worry about
is how the fish are biting.

[LAUGHS]

[LAUGHS]

MARK: Hi. Good news?

Afraid not. Source in
Tulsa turned out negative.

I just want you to know that we're
onto two other possible donors though.

- Where are they?
- East Coast.

- How long before you're sure?
- Couple hours.

All right, I know. Let me
see if I can speed things up.

- Thanks, Jerry. JERRY: Mm-hm.

- I don't feel like doing this anymore.
- Me either.

[MARK SIGHS]

You know, Pam went
into the office this morning.

She said she had to get some things
done before she went back to the hospital.

She can't help Jamie by sitting
around and waiting at the hospital.

Well, I know that.

I just can't believe how she's
thrown herself into that job.

It means a lot to
her, for Christopher.

It's more than that. It
means a lot to her for Bobby.

She feels she has an obligation
to carry on in his memory.

- She told you that?
- No, she'd never say that to me.

But it's what she's thinking.

It's the same reason she
got involved with Matt Cantrell.

Matt?

He's back in Dallas?

I haven't seen him in so
long. What's he been up to?

Well, he's got an emerald-mining
venture in South America.

Bobby gave him startup money.
Now Pam wants to keep him going.

What's wrong with that?

Well, on the
face of it, nothing.

But she keeps getting deeper and deeper
into things for all the wrong reasons.

For all the wrong
reasons, as you see them.

Maybe you're not
giving her enough credit.

Mark, she loves you.

Don't spend your time worrying
about ghosts from the past.

I wish it were that easy.

J.R.: That is the worst
idea I have ever heard.

I'm not gonna have
Ewing Oil money...

sunk in some mine somewhere
in the jungles of Colombia.

I'm just not gonna have it.

You saw the appraisal on that emerald,
and I showed you the geological report.

I don't understand why you won't
commit to a long-term investment.

Because I'm not in the emerald
business. I'm in the oil business.

I know nothing about emeralds.
You know nothing about emeralds.

And most importantly, he
knows nothing about emeralds.

I surveyed that mine myself.

I guarantee you there's a
fortune to be made there.

Look, all I need is the manpower and
the equipment to go in and get it out.

Well, in that case, you
shouldn't have any difficulty...

in finding somebody to
put up the funds for you.

Why should someone else reap
the benefits of what Bobby began?

Ugh, Pam, we have
already reaped the benefits...

to the tune of a quarter of a
million dollars' worth of emerald.

Lord knows where Matt
here got ahold of that thing.

But that's five times our original
investment. That's good enough for me.

Well, it's not good
enough for me.

Pam, you have as much
money as Ewing Oil.

Why don't you back
Cantrell's mine all by yourself?

I think I will.

What?

Now, wait a minute, Pam.
Don't go rushing into anything.

I appreciate it, but don't let J.R. force
you into something you don't wanna do.

No, I want to do this.

J.R., I'll write you out
a check for $300,000.

That'll cover Ewing Oil's original
investment and the value of the emerald.

And then you and I don't
have to discuss this ever again.

[SIGHS]

Well, all right.
Fine with me, but...

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

Well, now, you see,
everybody's happy.

[SCOFFS]

I can't believe this.
I just can't believe it.

[RAY CALLING AND WHISTLING]

[MOOING]

RAY: Come on. Come on.

That's it.

That's it.

Whoa, did you see that, Clayton?

She's really gonna be
something, isn't she?

You picked a beauty, all right.

Did you hear anything
from Fair Ridge Farms yet?

Well, I just got off
the phone with them.

Jack hasn't called or
stopped by there either.

Damn. That was
my best shot at it.

I wonder where in the
world Jack's gone off to.

I don't know.

Ellie was talking to Sue Ellen.

They're trying to locate a
possible donor in Boston.

Maybe that'll pan out.

I sure hope so.

Hey, here comes our new mares.

[HORN HONKING]

You know, I've been thinking.

What do you say we go up to
that auction in Amarillo next week...

try to pick out 10 more?

Well, that'd be rushing things.

I thought we were gonna
start off slow and careful...

build up our
stock, the right way.

Double our breeding,
double our profits.

Well, that may be...

but I'm not sure it makes such
sense in the long run, Clayton.

You're trying to tell me I
don't know this business?

Southern Cross was a very successful
breeding ranch before you were born.

Okay. Okay, we'll talk about it.

JENNA: Take care of things,
Evelyn. I'll be out for a while.

DONNA: Bye.

Didn't mean to take you away
from what you were doing.

All I was doing was counting sweaters
and then re-counting them again.

Well, maybe a breath of fresh air
would be good for both of us, huh?

I came into town
to give blood...

and, well, then I went over
to the Woodgrove School.

Looks like I'm gonna be joining
their volunteer training program. Heh.

That's wonderful. You'd
be great with those kids.

Thank you.

Why don't we get a cup
of coffee or something?

I really don't feel like it.

You know, Jenna, I
think you're putting...

a lot more pressure on
yourself than you deserve.

You don't know
anything about it, Donna.

You have no way of knowing
what I put Jack through.

It's because of me that
Jack's not here for Jamie.

It's because that of me
that Jamie's gonna die.

Stop it.

I have to... I have to find
Jack and bring him back here.

Look, honey, you can't
do it all by yourself.

I have to. I have to try.

Why do you bother
to call me now?

NICHOLAS [OVER PHONE]:
There's a layover in Miami.

I thought you might be able
to give me a progress report.

We discussed all
of that last night.

Last night there was still
a key element missing:

Jack Ewing.

Nicholas, why don't you do
your job and let me do mine?

The final arrangements will be
in place within hours, Angelica.

I just don't want
anything to go wrong.

Look, nothing will go wrong.

MAN [ON TV]: This is a KJCM newsbreak.
- Why don't you relax and have good flight?

- For our top story
this hour, we go live...

ANGELICA: I'll see
you tomorrow, okay?

To the Ewing Oil Company
headquarters in Dallas.

We're here in the offices of J.R.
Ewing to bring you a special message.

An appeal from Mr. Ewing
to all of you out there.

Mr. Ewing?

Thank you.

My cousin, Jamie Ewing Barnes,
is in a hospital bed right now...

very near death...

because we have not been able to
find a compatible blood donor for her.

Uh, in an effort
to save her life...

we are looking for her
brother, Jack Ewing.

Now, if anybody has seen
this man, or knows where he is...

please contact me immediately.

I am personally offering
a reward of $25,000...

for anybody with information
that will lead us to him.

In addition, I am offering a
matching $25,000 reward...

to anyone who has
AB-negative-type blood...

with the same factors
that Jamie has...

and, of course, who
is willing to donate it.

Uh, it's a very
simple procedure.

Just go to your, uh,
local hospital or clinic...

and they will draw blood and test
it to see if you have the same type.

Uh, this is very important.

It won't take a lot of time,
and it just might save a life.

- Thank you.
- Thank you, Mr. Ewing.

- And now, back to our KJCM
newsroom. MAN: Thank you, Melanie.

In other local news, a fire has caused
major damages to half a dozen businesses...

MANDY [OVER PHONE]: Hello?

Mandy, did you just
see J.R. on television?

I sure did. Wasn't
it incredible?

Unbelievable.
That's more like it.

I wanna know what the
hell Jack means to J.R...

that he's willing to shell out
$25,000 to get him back here.

Well, he's trying to get
Jack back for Jamie's sake.

Yeah, I'd like to think he is, but I
happen to know him better than that.

There's something
else going on here.

J.R. needs Jack for something.

- Needs him for what?
- I don't know.

But that's what you're
gonna find out for me.

ELLIE: Hello, Joe.

RAY: Afternoon, Miss Ellie.

ELLIE: Hello, Ray.

- Going out for a ride?
- Oh, I thought I would for an hour or so.

It's so hard sitting around the
house waiting for phone to ring.

- You haven't heard from Jack yet, huh?
- No, nothing yet.

I'd sure like to know
what happened to him.

Thank you, Eddie.

- Help you up, Miss Ellie?
- No, that's all right, thanks.

- You wanna join me?
- No, I've got a lot of work to do today.

I, uh, hope you don't think
I'm interfering, Miss Ellie...

but I was wondering
if you've noticed...

anything wrong with Clayton
the past couple of days.

Why do you ask?

Well, it seems like
something's bothering him.

He's just not acting, well,
like himself, you know?

I know.

You can tell me, Miss Ellie.

Clayton is, uh, having
some financial problems.

Clayton? That just
doesn't seem possible.

[CHUCKLES]

I wouldn't have
thought so myself.

But it seems that he's trying to
sell two of his smaller companies...

in order to save the refinery.

What happened? What did he say?

He didn't say anything to me.

He doesn't even know
that I'm aware of it.

And, Ray, he must never know.

All right. You can count on me.

Anything I can do?

I don't know what.

I've just been trying to figure
out something that I could do.

- And you don't wanna ask him?
- No.

I don't think I should do that.

But I, uh...

I have been toying with the idea of
buying those two companies myself.

Oh, Miss Ellie, you
can't be serious.

You know how much
money that would involve?

Money isn't the
issue, Ray, Clayton is.

All right, what if he finds out?
What would that do to him?

He's not going to find out.

All right, I gotta tell you the truth. I
don't think it's the right thing to do.

But if there's anything
I can do to help...

you just let me know.

I will.

Clayton's a very lucky man.

J.R.: Jamie's family. You
can't put a price on that.

Twenty-five thousand dollars? You
really wanna find Jack, don't you?

[SIGHS]

Look, her life is in danger.

I know, I just thought maybe there
was another reason you needed Jack.

Jamie's family.
It's simple as that.

I'd do anything
to save her life.

I'm sorry, it just came as such a
surprise to see you on television.

Well, I'm full of surprises.
You ought to know that by now.

Well, I hope Jack shows up soon.

Not half as much as I do.

Am I gonna see you later?

I don't think I'm gonna
manage it tonight.

I'll probably have to
go back to the hospital.

Well, I'll be here. You
can come over anytime.

You know, it doesn't
matter how late.

I'll keep in touch.

Goodbye.

[SIGHS]

What's the matter, Daddy?
Don't you wanna play anymore?

Sure.

Uh...

We could play
something else if you want.

No, it's fine.

You always make me tell you
when something's the matter.

Come here.

Come here.

You know, sometimes, son...

you have a special friend that
disappoints you and lets you down.

You know what I mean?

Is that why you're sad?
Did someone let you down?

Yeah. That's why I'm sad.

So then, that person's not
your friend anymore, right?

Well, first you have to give
that person a second chance.

And did you?

Yes, I did.

So then what do you do?

You make sure that person
never lets you down again.

You understand that?

- Hi, honey.
- Ah, fancy meeting you here.

- What do you got there?
- Tell you what...

you pour me a cup of that
coffee, and I'll let you see.

[DONNA SIGHS]

- I finally did it.
- What?

I signed up for the, uh,
volunteer program at Woodgrove.

Well, you've been thinking
about that for long time.

Yeah.

I'm glad you finally
decided to go for it.

What are they gonna
have you doing?

Well, gosh, probably a
little bit of everything...

till they find out
where I fit best.

Wait.

Okay, now, wait a minute.
This one I learned tonight.

- What is it?
- "I love you"?

I love you. Heh.

[CHUCKLES]

You're gonna be just
great with the kids, honey.

That's what Jenna said.

I'm glad you both have
so much faith in me.

- When did you talk to Jenna?
- This morning.

She didn't come
down for breakfast...

so I stopped by the boutique
to see how she was doing.

And how is she?

She's not doing good.
I'm really worried about her.

I think the whole family is
worried about her after last night.

Breaking up with Jack just sent
her into some kind of a tailspin.

I had no idea that they were
that involved with each other.

I told Jack that I didn't
think that she was ready.

[SIGHS]

I don't think anybody told
Jenna she wasn't ready.

[SIGHS]

Did Mr. Ewing say
when he's coming back?

Uh, no, he didn't, um...

He just wants me to
send him few of his things.

All right, I'll be in my apartment
if you need anything else.

Thank you.

WYATT: How do you
know that's where he is?

Because he told me he used to go
there when he needed time alone.

Well, Lake Shenandoah's
over a six-hour drive from here.

I'll call the New
Mexico officials.

- Did Jack say when he was there
last? JENNA: Um, a few years ago, I think.

Well, it's a long shot.

We can't overlook anything.

I know that, Miss Ellie. All I'm saying is,
we shouldn't get our hopes up on a hunch.

It's not a hunch.

RAY: Sheriff, you
find something?

Well, Jenna thinks she might know
where Jack is, Lake Shenandoah.

RAY: He call?
- No.

It's a feeling she's got.

The sheriff here's gonna call
the New Mexico State Police.

Ray, why don't you
go on your own?

Take the Ewing jet,
save yourself some time.

I'm going too.

- I'll call you as soon we know
something. DONNA: Okay.

I'll have the authorities waiting
for you when you get there.

Right.

WYATT: Yeah, uh,
this is Sheriff Mansfield.

WOMAN [OVER INTERCOM]:
Code Blue, ER. Code Blue, ER.

Nurse Diezer, 4323.
Nurse Diezer, 4323.

I bought whatever they had.

Tsk, what are they
doing in there, huh?

I can't stand this anymore.

WOMAN [OVER
INTERCOM]: Dr. McCann, CVT.

Here's the lab report.

[EQUIPMENT BEEPING]

Ah, I was afraid of this.

I'll go tell her husband.

CLIFF: Tell me what?

What? What is it?

Your wife's kidneys are failing,
Mr. Barnes, due to the hemolytic shock.

What does that mean?

As I told you before...

the loss of kidney function could
trigger the shutdown of other organs.

We've got to find the
right blood donor soon.

She's slipping away.

Must be 50 people out there
waiting to have their blood tested.

Well, that's terrific. I
know we'll find somebody.

Listen, shouldn't we have heard
about...? From Ray and Jenna by now?

- They haven't been gone long enough?
- No.

Miss Ellie said that Ray would
call us the minute they find Jack.

- Or don't.
- Cliff, you can't think like that.

Now, come on, you gotta hang on.

Jamie needs you.

Sue Ellen.

Matt? Ha, ha. What
are you doing here? Oh...

I came to give blood.

Pam said the whole family was,
so I thought maybe I could help.

SUE ELLEN: Oh,
that's very sweet of you.

- It's so good to see you.
- You too.

You know, you're just as
beautiful as I remembered.

Matt, Mark Graison.

Mark. It's good to meet you.

Pam talked a lot about you.

Uh, Matt, I'd like you
to meet Cliff Barnes.

- Cliff? CLIFF: Hmm?

Matt Cantrell's an
old friend of the family.

CLIFF: Hi.
- He's here to give blood.

I was very sorry to
hear about your wife.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

Is Pam here?

No, she wanted to go home
to Christopher. He's got a cold.

He must be quite a kid.
I can't wait to meet him.

Well, we'll have
to have you out.

Hey, did Pam get a
chance to tell you...

about her deciding to go in
on the emerald mine with me?

You mean, take up
where Bobby left off?

It was very generous of her. I'll
do my best not to let her down.

Uh, Matt, come with me. I'll
show you where the blood bank is.

It's good to meet you, Mark.

- I'll see you again.
- Sure thing.

[MAN WHISTLING]

[HUMS]

RAY: Jack? Jack!

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

JACK: What...? Who...?

- Jack. JACK: Ray.

Try not to get upset, but
your sister's had an accident.

What kind of an accident?
What happened? When?

At one of the plants yesterday.

She's in the hospital. Doctors
haven't been able to match her blood.

They're hoping that
you have same type.

- Oh, my God. I've gotta get to her.
- I got your keys, here's your jacket.

- She's gonna be all right...
- We have a police escort for you.

JACK: Okay, let's go, let's go.

Hey, Matt. You got a minute?

MATT: Mark, hi.

You know, I, uh... I apologize
for what I said in there.

I shouldn't have blurted out
about emerald mine like that.

I should've let
Pam tell you herself.

Don't worry about it.

I couldn't believe it when
she said she'd be my partner.

- How exactly did that happen?
- I'm not real sure.

The more J.R. put me down,
the more Pam rose to my defense.

And Bobby was right.
She's one in a million.

- You gonna stay in Dallas long?
- Well, not long now.

Now that I got financing I need, I can
take care of a couple matters in town...

then head on back
down to Colombia.

You really think you're gonna
hit pay dirt with this thing?

Yes, I do. I wouldn't be taking
her money if I didn't believe it.

You have some kind of
a timetable on the mine?

Could this turn into a
bottomless pit for Pam's money?

Naturally I'd like to strike major vein
as soon as we start digging again...

but these things do
have a way of taking time.

- You're not answering my question.
- I'm not gonna let her throw away money.

That's exactly
what I was asking.

Look, I've gotta get back to
the office. Nice talking to you.

Yeah.

[EQUIPMENT BEEPING]

Mr. Barnes?

They found your wife's
brother. He's on his way.

Jamie, baby, they
found Jack. He's coming.

Just hang on.

Can you do that? Just hang on.

J.R.: Jack, we've been
looking all over for you, boy.

Excuse me, Mr. Ewing.

How'd you feel when they said
your sister was in critical condition?

- How do you think it felt?
- Excuse me. Mr. Ewing, come with me.

Did you know that there was a
reward for information about you?

Excuse me, are you a
member of the family?

Why don't you and
your crew just get lost?

I'm just doing my job, pal.

J.R.: Hell of a good job. Cool it.
- Excuse me.

We still running?
Good, keep it going.

Excuse me, Mr. Ewing.

This is J.R. Ewing, the
man that put up reward.

Mr. Ewing, tell us, who is
going to get that $25,000, sir?

Oh, yeah, well...

first we have to ascertain who is
responsible for finding Jack and, uh...

KENFIELD: Mr. Ewing, your blood,
do you know if you have AB-negative?

WOMAN [OVER
INTERCOM]: Dr. Liu, ICU.

Dr. McCann, CVT.
Dr. McCann, CVT.

Jenna, Jenna, wait.

You're not leaving, are you?

Why shouldn't I?

Well, we're not even sure if
Jack's blood sample matches yet.

I've done all I can. I
helped you find Jack.

What more does anyone want?

Well, we've still got a long
night here at the hospital, uh...

I know it would mean a
lot to Jack if you'd stay.

Why doesn't anyone understand?

Jack and I don't mean
anything to each other. Nothing.

My staying here won't
do him any good or me.

You're wrong.

Don't do this to yourself. Don't
cut yourself off from everyone.

Jack cares about you. Can't
you just be here for him?

No. I wanna go home to Charlie.

Charlie is just fine.

Why are you doing
this? What's wrong?

You're not acting like
the Jenna I used to know.

You're right. I'm not.

And I never will be again.

Because nothing is ever gonna
be the same as it was again.

It's Bobby.

That's what this is all about.

Jenna...

Bobby was my brother.

I miss him as much as
you do. It hurts sometimes.

But life has to go on.

Do you think Bobby would've
wanted it any other way?

Just leave me alone.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Well, he's
in getting his blood analyzed.

It's a damn shame it's
not gonna do any good.

ANGELICA [OVER PHONE]: Yes.

You'll keep me informed
what happens, won't you?

Of course I will.

Uh, here comes
Jack. I'll call you later.

ANGELICA: I'll be waiting.

Jack's at the hospital.
He's having his blood typed.

Time'll tell, won't it?

- Say, Jack. JACK: J.R.

I wanna thank you for
offering that reward to find me.

- That was very generous of you.
- Well, that's what families are for.

- What'd they tell you in there?
- Nothing.

They're checking
the antigen match.

You know, there is a possibility
that your blood types won't match.

I want you to be
prepared for that.

I know. I understand.

And we're looking for other donors.
I'm sure we're gonna find somebody.

Excuse me, J.R., I wanna
speak to Cliff for a minute.

- Yeah, yeah, of
course. DONNA: Hi.

- Sure are glad you got here.
- Yeah, we sure are, bud.

- Say, Ray, you did a hell of
a job, buddy. JACK: Miss Ellie.

How you doing? Clayton.

Hey.

She means everything to me.

I never should've
let her go alone.

It's not your fault, Cliff.

Jamie is a strong girl.
She's gonna pull through this.

We have to believe that.

Have you seen her?

They let me look
in for a minute.

She didn't know I was there.

She's been like that ever
since they brought her in.

JACK: Doctor?

The immediate crisis is over.

Jack's blood's a perfect match.
