Dallas (1978–1991): Season 9, Episode 3 - Those Eyes - full transcript

The search for Sue Ellen ends up in the police station drunk tank. Sue Ellen is moved to a detoxification ward where J.R. and Dusty have a confrontation which sends Sue Ellen into a frenzy.

[CRYING]

Get me out of here!

No!

And appoint you as its
chief executive officer.

The chief executive.
In other words...?

You'll be J.R.'s boss.

DOCTOR: I'll turn her over. You
can tell me if it's who you're looking for.

[GASPS]

What are we gonna do?

What are you going to do?

I don't know.



You're going to face this
problem once and for all.

I want a drink.

Farlow!

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

- Yeah? SLY [ON INTERCOM]:
J.R., Harv Smithfield.

Send him in.

You better have some good news.

Depends on what you
consider good news.

I checked out Pamela
Barnes' participation...

in Wentworth Industry's
operations as you asked me to.

Now, she wasn't always
involved on a day-to-day basis...

but when she did get involved, the
people she did business with liked her.

Even admired her.

- You're kidding.
- No.



Bankers, investors.

Even some of her competitors claim
that what she lacks in experience...

she more than makes up for
in common sense and tenacity.

On the whole, the business
community gives her high marks.

Are you telling me she
could run Ewing Oil?

I'm telling you we're not
gonna find any judge...

that will think that
she'd ruin Ewing Oil.

Her business record has
competence written all over it.

Well, I'm gonna stop her.

Then, you're just gonna
have to find another way.

I will.

How do you always grow
such beautiful flowers?

Perseverance. I just water
them and wait them out.

My garden's given me a lot
more than flowers over the years.

It's given me a lot of time to
think and a great deal of peace.

- Bobby said you were born in a garden.
- Hm.

Bobby brought me peace too.

[JENNA SIGHS]

I wanna remember
Southfork just like this.

You're thinking of leaving?

I feel it's time we should.

Well, where will you go?

Back to where we
came from, I guess.

To try to forget us?

Oh, of course not.

Well, then, why leave us behind?

I don't think of it like that.

It's just that with everything else
going on, it might be better for everyone.

Well, speaking
for me, it wouldn't.

What does Charlie say?

- I haven't talked to her about it yet.
- Why don't you?

Six, seven, eight, nine, 30.

[HORSE WHINNIES]

- Howdy. JACK: Howdy.

Didn't mean to interrupt.

Well, you're not
interrupting much.

Just out for a little ride?

Yeah. Great day for it, huh?

Yes, sir, it is.

I'm thinking about
building a new house here.

Pretty spot.

Seems like we need
some more room.

I heard.

Congratulations.

Thank you very much.

Waiting a long time to have a
family of my own, so it'll be something.

Guess I kind of sound like
an old goat, huh? Ha-ha-ha.

Oh, I don't know.
Sounds pretty good to me.

You thinking about putting
some roots down here, Jack...

or be heading back to
where you came from?

You know what they
say, can't go back.

Where was that, anyway?

Nowhere.

So is the sun gonna
rise in your bedroom?

Yeah.

Set on my front porch.

Gonna be real nice, Ray.

Yeah, it's gonna be real nice.

J.R.: There. How's that, huh?

- You getting dizzy?
PAMELA: Christopher?

- It's time for your nap, honey.
- Oh, Mama.

- Now, you mind your mama.
- Come on.

And don't forget, we're going
horseback riding on Saturday.

CHRISTOPHER: Okay.

J.R.: You be a good boy?
- I will.

I tell you, that
little fella's a pistol.

I wondered how long it would
take you to get over here.

Pam, this is not any easier
for me than it is for you.

Next time, leave
Christopher out of it.

Well, I'm here
because of Christopher.

You mean his 30
percent of Ewing Oil.

Pam, I know that Bobby meant well
when he named you administrator...

but frankly, I think that choice was a
little more romantic than it was smart.

- Is that so?
- Yes, it is.

See, sooner or later...

you're gonna have to make
decisions that Bobby used to make.

And I don't think he really
wanted you to have to do that.

Well, what do you
think he wanted?

I think he wanted you to
benefit from this 30 percent...

not have it be a burden to you.

Pam, you've got enough to worry about
without adding the business of Ewing Oil.

[LAUGHS]

And what are you
suggesting? That you do it?

Better than that.

I wanna buy back his
shares in Ewing Oil.

It'd be the best
thing we could do.

Christopher'd have all
the money he'd ever need...

and you'd never have to
worry about Ewing Oil again.

Bobby wanted me to
protect the estate, not sell it.

Well, you could do both.

You could sell his
interest in the company...

and invest that money
anywhere you want to.

Selling would make me feel
like I was abandoning something.

Abandoning Bobby.

The only thing you'd
be abandoning is misery.

You and Christopher
could get on with your lives...

put the source of all
this pain behind you.

Pam, I know you
always hated Ewing Oil.

Hated it for what it did
to Bobby and your family.

Why carry that on into another generation?
Why inflict that on Christopher?

Look, I know how you feel.

Things are pretty
confusing right about now.

I don't want an
answer overnight...

but I want you to give this
some honest thought, as I have.

Pam...

I'll make you the
best offer possible.

Oh, I meant what I said about taking
Christopher horseback riding on Saturday.

I'll call you later in the
week, see if it's all right.

Mama would sure like to see him.

MARILEE: Why do I feel nervous
every time you call a secret meeting?

Face it, Marilee. I always
did make you nervous.

Spare us, Cliff. Tell
us what this is all about.

Well, I have some
wonderful news for you, for us.

Suppose I told you...

that I could predict what J.R. Ewing
was gonna buy and sell next month?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about
knowing, without a doubt...

whether or not he plans to
bid on anything you're after...

and exactly what
the bid's going to be.

Wait a second, wait a second.

I am talking about having
100-percent-genuine inside information.

He'll never pull a deal
out from under you...

because you'll be able
to beat him to the punch.

Cliff, are you telling us you just
discovered corporate spying?

This gives corporate
spying a new meaning.

Who is this person,
and how reliable is he?

She.

My sister.

Pam?

I suppose by now you know that
Pam controls 30 percent of Ewing Oil...

that Bobby left everything to their son
Christopher and she's the administrator.

She is, in effect, a full and
equal partner to J.R. Ewing.

Well, what are you telling us?

Well, I'm going to be helping her
as the administrator of the estate.

I'm going to lend
my expert advice...

and I'm going to examine
every deal that goes down.

What is it you want from us?

I just wanna know
who my friends are.

Does Pam know about this?

Of course she does.

She's behind me all the way.

BALDWIN: Well, the emergency
rooms have been checked.

And from this point
on, all accident reports

are being channeled
through our office.

Well, she just didn't disappear
off the face of the earth.

This photograph
of her will help.

Where would she go?

Judging from what you told
me, wherever she can get a drink.

She could be anywhere in
this city, sipping her blues away.

Sue Ellen's had lost weekends
before and she's always come home.

But this time, I'm
afraid it's different.

It all sounds so awful. Isn't
there anything we can do?

Short of forming a posse, no.

Sheriff's got a lot of ground
to cover. It'll take time.

And time's the one thing
an alcoholic runs out of fast.

If we don't find her soon, you are gonna
have to reconsider going public with this.

Making a statement to the press or
trying to reach her through the media.

I know how sensitive
J.R. is about the publicity...

but it may be the
thing that saves her life.

We understand that,
and I'm sure J.R. does too.

He must be terribly
upset by this.

Tell him we're doing everything
we possibly can, will you?

Yes, of course.

[PHONE RINGS]

Miss Ellie, we were all real
sorry to hear about Bobby.

He was a fine man.

Thank you, sheriff.

- You'll call us?
- I'll be in touch.

Miss Ellie?

J.R. is on the phone.

ELLIE: Thank you, hon.

- J.R.?
- Mama? I checked with the sheriff earlier.

He said he's gonna need
a picture of Sue Ellen.

- Yes. They were just here. J.R.
[OVER PHONE]: Oh? Nothing new?

No. I'm afraid not.

But they'll find her, J.R.

I know. If anything happens...

- I'll call you right away.
- Yeah, you do that.

- Bye, J.R.
- Goodbye.

Damn, where's that woman?

[SUE ELLEN SCREAMS]

SUE ELLEN: Get
away! Get off of me!

WOMAN 1: Hey, take it easy.

SUE ELLEN: Get off of me!
WOMAN 1: Get your hands off me.

SUE ELLEN: Get
off! Get off! Off!

WOMAN 1: Get the hell off of me.

WOMAN 2: I don't want
it. Don't you touch me.

[WOMEN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

[SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING]

[CRYING]

Get me out of here!

No!

[SOBBING]

I hate to rush you like this,
but we got a call a while ago...

about a woman in the drunk tank
that fits Sue Ellen's description.

Is she all right? How
long has she been here?

I don't even know if it's
her, Miss Ellie. Over here.

Sheriff Baldwin, Braddock.

You got a Mrs. Sue Ellen
Ewing locked up in there?

Nope. Nobody by that name.

That can't be right.
Check again, will you?

You guys called to tell me you
had a match-up to a missing person.

Oh, right, right. Uh, lady
didn't have any ID on her.

Pretty bad shape, but she did match
the description that you all sent out.

Can we see her, please?
We've come to take her home.

I'm afraid you're too late. They
took her out of here an hour ago.

Took her? Where?

Let me guess. Detox?

She was having a pretty
rough time, shakes and all.

Thanks. Let's go.

Where's Detox?

- You go home. I'll go there.
- No, we're going with you.

I don't think so. It's not the place
where people like you belong.

If Sue Ellen's there,
that's where we belong.

[SIGHS]

If Sue Ellen is there,
she's in trouble.

Come on.

Cliff, will you help
me with this, please?

Here.

- Thanks.
- Mm.

- Pick up the pace. We're running late.
- Yeah, hold still. Hold still.

- Your hands are freezing.
- Ha-ha-ha.

Cold hands, warm heart.

[PHONE RINGS]

Oh, hold that thought.

- Hello?
- Jamie.

JAMIE: Hi, Pam.

We got stuck here. We're
heading out the door now.

Well, actually, I'm
glad I caught you.

Jamie, I've changed my mind
about tonight. I think I'm gonna pass.

Is everything all right?

PAMELA: Yeah. I just
don't have any appetite.

Well, I'm sorry. We were really looking
forward to spending some time with you.

Hold on.

Hi, sis. Everything all right?

I'm fine. I just don't feel
like going out tonight.

Oh, no, no, no. Stop
talking like that, you know.

I mean, it's no good
for you to be cooped up.

Cliff, I'm not cooped up.

I just have a lot on my mind and I
need some quiet time to figure things out.

Yeah, well, that's all right, but
you think about that tomorrow.

Well, I can't.

J.R.'s got me all wound up.

And before I know
it, it'll be Saturday...

and Christopher will want
to go horseback riding...

and J.R. will be pressing
me for an answer.

What? I don't understand.

What do you mean, J.R.
pressing you for an answer?

About whether I'll sell Christopher's
stock in Ewing Oil back to him.

He made me an offer today.

Well, now, that's ridiculous.
You told him no, didn't you?

I didn't tell him anything. I'm
just thinking about it, that's all.

Well, stop thinking about it,
you can't sell him anything.

You can't sell him anything, you don't
even talk to him, because he'll cheat you.

He will, he'll cheat you.

Cliff, calm down.
Nobody's going to cheat me.

Look, I'm tired. I don't wanna
talk about it right now, okay?

Why don't you just go out to dinner?
And maybe I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay. Uh, yeah, there's time
to talk about that tomorrow...

but listen, you promise me, you
don't do anything until you talk to me.

- Promise?
- I promise.

Okay. Good night.

Goodbye, Cliff.

I don't know what you're
looking so worried about.

You know as well as I do, your figures
and your projections are as solid as steel.

Then your bank won't have
any trouble arranging this loan?

Well, the Cattleman's
Bank can't swing it all alone.

We'll pull in the right partners without
any trouble. You just leave it to us.

Well, all we have to do now is
get the Barnes woman off the dime.

A delicate situation, huh?

Hmm. She's attaching a
sense of loyalty to this thing.

Well, I guess I am too.

I can't imagine anyone turning down
an offer the size of the one you're making.

Along with all her other assets, she'll be
one of the wealthiest people in the state.

In the country, for that matter.

Well, can you imagine
her getting this far?

There's just no
accounting for some things.

You sure you're not
gonna have that drink?

I'm afraid my drinking days
are over. Thanks, anyway, J.R.

Trying to tell me
you're getting old?

I'm trying to tell
you I wanna get old.

Give my best to Miss Ellie
and the family. Will you, J.R.?

- I will. Good night.
- Good night.

I'll be honest with you, this
place makes my skin crawl.

I'll wait out here.

You can wait with
me, Miss Ellie.

Why don't you, Ellie?

Which bed?

Thirteen.

The patients you see are
all here for the same reason.

To detoxify.

To dry out.

It's a very risky process.

[WOMAN MOANS]

[WOMAN SCREAMING]

Delirium tremens.

More commonly
known as the D.T.'s.

[WOMAN WHIMPERING]

They all get them.
They don't all survive.

Thirteen.

Jane Doe. Female. Caucasian.

Weight: approximately 110.
Height: approximately 5'10".

Eyes: green. Hair: brown.

All her teeth.

Whoever she is, she's
in very bad shape.

I'll turn her over. You can tell me
if it's who you're looking for, okay?

You gonna be all right?

Go ahead.

[SUE ELLEN WHIMPERING]

[GASPS]

We'll go to my office.

JAMIE: I don't know
what good I can do.

All I know is I feel
better if I offer my help.

CLIFF: You can do that by phone.
You don't have to go to Southfork.

- It's not the same on the phone.
- I don't want you going to Southfork.

Cliff, I'm not talking about
Southfork. I don't care about that.

I'm talking about
our friend, Sue Ellen.

Okay, okay.

- Hello, Cliff.
- Nice to see you.

- Hello, Jamie.
- Jeremy.

- You two celebrating?
- Celebrating?

Your family inheritance.

Oh, that's Christopher
and Pam's inheritance.

JEREMY: Well,
it's the same thing.

I'm really happy for you. You've
been waiting for this a long time.

I just hope we get a chance to enjoy it
before Pam decides to sell it back to J.R.

Why on earth would she do that?

Some things are
very difficult to explain.

What a shame to
spoil all your fun.

Yep.

Well, good night. I
didn't mean to interrupt.

- Jamie. JAMIE: Good night.

I don't like him.

He's harmless.

I want to understand this.

Sue Ellen's not under
arrest for anything.

She's not under arrest.

But you won't release her.

DOCTOR: Not tonight.

Well, when, then? When
can I take her home?

DOCTOR: I don't
understand your rush.

I wanna get her out of here. I wanna take
her home and get her medical attention.

What do you think she's getting?

The best medical attention
that money can buy.

There isn't enough money in the
world to buy her what she needs.

I won't let her
rot in this place!

She was rotting out there
in the streets, in your home.

And this place saved her life.

And I won't let her go until you
understand what happened today.

Now, Sue Ellen is an alcoholic.

For her, alcohol is lethal.

It's one of the strongest drugs
man uses, and she overdosed.

If she had been left out
on the street unsupervised...

her withdrawal
could have been fatal.

Now, Sue Ellen beat the odds...

this time.

But if she goes on
drinking, she'll kill herself.

Unless God gave you a talent
he hasn't given anyone else...

you're not gonna keep her from taking
that next drink, and that's all it'll take.

If I let you sign that
release form now...

I'd be watching you
sign her death certificate.

J.R.?

Mama.

Are you all right?

We found Sue Ellen.

Oh, well. Lucky us.

Is she upstairs? Has she
made a fool of herself?

Listen to me.

She's in the detox ward
at the county hospital.

The police found her
passed out in an alleyway...

and threw her in the drunk tank.

When I couldn't reach you,
Clayton and I went there to get her.

By the time we got there,
she'd gone into convulsions.

The D.T.'s, they call it.

She was taken to the detox ward.

She's there now, barely alive.

[SIGHS]

What are we gonna do?

You, J.R., what
are you going to do?

I don't know.

Well, I do.

You're going to face this
problem once and for all.

I won't let you
run away from it...

or pass it on to me or
Clayton or Dusty or the police.

Sue Ellen is your wife.

And as long as she is,
she's your responsibility.

I don't care what shape
your marriage is in.

She's a woman that we have
loved and a woman that has loved us.

She's the mother of your
son, who still needs her.

She's a member of this
family, J.R. She is a Ewing.

And your personal feelings
don't change any of that...

or in any way excuse
you from helping her.

She won't listen to me, Mama.
She doesn't want my help.

She doesn't want
anybody's help. She's sick.

And she'll kill
herself if you let her.

Which is exactly why you have
to make the decision for her.

- What decision?
- You've asked me for my support before.

Now, you've got it.

You have to commit Sue
Ellen to a sanitarium...

where we can at
least begin to help her.

- She'd never agree to that.
- She has no choice.

And neither do you.

I'll back you up, J.R., but
you've got to lead the way.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

[COWS MOOING]

[MEN WHISTLING]

[MEN WHISTLING AND WHOOPING]

JACK: Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

Looking good.

You know, for a fella
that hasn't done this

in a long time, you
sure seem right at home.

It's a good thing I don't have
anything planned for tomorrow.

- I don't think I'd be able to walk.
- Ha-ha-ha.

Well, it hurts the body,
but it's good for the soul.

Boy, that it is.

I think it sure beats going
to the office, don't you?

[RAY CHUCKLES]

You're not interested
in the oil business, huh?

Well, it's just something that came
between me and my family once too often.

- Sounds familiar.
- Yeah, I'll bet.

At least you got all this, Ray,
and Donna and a baby on the way.

- I think that's great.
- Yes, sir, it is.

How about you?
Did you ever marry?

Almost. Once. Didn't work out.

- Well, there's plenty of time for that.
- Not if I keep this up. Ha-ha-ha.

J.R.: That's right,
son. Now, over the top.

That's right. Over the top and
stick it down through the loop.

You got it?

Pull it up.

That's it.

You look so grown-up.

- Just like you?
- Yeah.

Yeah, just like me.

And you know what?

I'm gonna need you
to act grown-up too.

- Okay.
- All right?

Now, you know your
mama's been pretty sick.

She gonna have to spend
a little time in the hospital.

How long?

Oh, not too long, I hope.

Can we go see her?

No, I'm afraid
not, not right away.

And this is the grown-up part.

We're gonna have to give her
all the time she needs to get well.

And I know you're gonna
miss her. She'll miss you too.

But she knows you love her,
and that's the important thing.

And when she's all better,
she'll be coming home...

and, well, you can show
her how you tie your tie.

Uncle Bobby didn't come back.

No, but this is not
like that. I promise.

I'm scared.

Don't be scared.

Don't be scared. Your
mama will be coming home.

I promise.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

Yes, Jackie?

JACKIE [OVER INTERCOM]: Cliff,
Jeremy Wendell is here to see you.

Hmm.

Show him in.

Thank you.

- Hello, Cliff.
- Hello, Jeremy.

- Can I bring you anything?
- No, thank you.

What brings you here?

I have a business proposition
I think you'll like very much.

Well, if it's about selling out to
Westar, forget it, I'm not interested.

No, it's about doing
each other a favor...

and putting J.R.
Ewing out of business.

- Ha-ha-ha. How fascinating.
- And simple.

Since your sister now controls
30 percent of Ewing Oil...

J.R. is much more vulnerable
than he's been in a long time.

I know that.

And I intend to use my influence
with Pam to make his life miserable.

Better than that, if
you can influence her...

convince her to sell
her son's stock to me.

To sell it to you?

If I can persuade any other Ewing
to sell 10 percent, and I think I can...

Westar will control more
of Ewing Oil than J.R.

Hey, hey, what's in that for me?

I recognize how pivotal
your role in this is.

And for that, I will make the new company
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westar...

and appoint you as its
chief executive officer.

The chief executive.
In other words...?

You'll be J.R.'s boss.

I'll be J.R.'s very rich boss.

Naturally.

[CLIFF SIGHS]

I think I might like to be paid
secretly. Could that be arranged?

I think it could. Why?

Well, just in case
Pam got upset or...

You know, in the event
my marriage went wrong.

Marriage seemed sound last
night. You looked like two lovebirds...

We are. I said, just in case.

JEREMY: This'll be the biggest
news to hit this state in years...

but it all depends on
you and your sister.

Yeah, that's no problem. Uh...

She listens to what I say.

Well, I'll leave
it in your hands.

- Be anxious to hear from you.
- Mm-hm.

Get back to you right away.

Jackie...

get ahold of Pam
for me right away.

[SIGHS]

Excuse me, please. Uh, Ewing?

Thirteen.

[SUE ELLEN SIGHS]

You have nothing
to be ashamed of.

Nothing to be afraid of anymore.

Sue Ellen, I'm here
because I love you.

I'm here to keep that
promise I made to help you...

no matter what it takes,
no matter how long it takes.

Because I wanna
see you healthy again.

Because I want you.

I want a drink.

Oh, God, no, darling.

A drink would kill you.

[WHISPERING] Kill me.

Sue Ellen, no.

Don't be like
this. Just hang on.

Hang on to me.

Farlow!

What the hell are you doing
here? Let go of my wife, you hear?

- Settle down, I'm warning you.
- Bastard, I ought to tear your head off.

You stay away from me, and
you stay away from Sue Ellen.

[WOMEN SCREAMING]

Listen, is this the way
you're helping her?

Is this the way you're helping
her? You're a genius, you are!

You get out of here,
or I'll kill you, I swear it.

Look, I love her, and I'm never
gonna let you hurt her again, you...

No! No!

[SUE ELLEN SOBBING]

You're safe.

You're safe.

You're safe.

Is everything all right?

- What?
- The quarterly reports.

- Is there something wrong?
- Oh, no, no, they're fine. Here.

Uh, can I do anything
else for you before I leave?

No. You go on
home. I'll close up.

May I come in?

Sure, Mandy, come on.

Good night.

- Night.
- Good night.

Oh, listen, I really
gotta apologize.

I got so caught up in
work, I lost track of time.

Relax, J.R., we
didn't have a date.

I just came by to tell you how sorry I
was about Sue Ellen, and that I was...

You heard? Where?

Well, unfortunately, you are a famous
man. That makes her a famous wife.

It was on the 6:00 news.

Ugh, damn.

Well, at least
the worst is over.

She's safe. She'll
be getting better.

You should see
where they got her.

You should see her.

I'm sure it must be awful.

God, you wouldn't
even recognize her.

J.R...

And that idiot Farlow
climbing all over her...

telling her how he
was gonna help her.

[SIGHS]

She probably wouldn't be there
in the first place if it wasn't for him.

And what about his marriage,
huh? What about his life?

It's not enough that he screws
up his own marriage, is it?

And Sue Ellen...

God, it was like it wasn't her there. It
was like somebody else in her body.

The look on her
face, in her eyes...

it was so lifeless.

So full of confusion and fear.

Nothing like the
first time I saw them.

Good Lord, she had the
most beautiful eyes in Texas.

She was in a beauty contest...

and I was one of the judges.

I was young and wild.

I'd never seen so many gorgeous
women in one place in my whole life.

And there was Sue Ellen,
right up in the middle of them.

She was so tall and shy.

And those wonderful eyes
were filled with fire and spirit.

[J.R. SIGHS]

You never saw anything like it.

There were 32 women up on that stage,
and I couldn't see any of them but her.

[SIGHS]

I knew she'd win.

From the minute I laid eyes
on her, I knew she'd win.

Miss Texas 1967.

- Brush your teeth?
- Yes, ma'am.

- You said your prayers?
- Yes, ma'am.

- Did you have fun today?
- Yes, ma'am.

Are you gonna grow
up to be a cowgirl?

Well, maybe. It was sure
fun watching the branding.

Fun?

They say it doesn't
hurt them that much.

- Who says?
- Jack.

Well, how would he know?
Has he ever been branded?

You got me.

Honey.

You really like it
here, don't you?

Yeah, but you know
me. I'll like it anywhere.

But if you had a choice...

would you stay at Southfork?

- What about you?
- No, I asked you first.

I love it here.

If we stayed...

it might not be easy at first.

I mean, you just can't
move in on a family.

You have to try
to be part of it.

Not just chores...

but all the things that
come along with the territory.

Like being a good
daughter or a sister...

or a cousin or a niece.

Yeah.

Family stuff.

Ha-ha-ha. Yes,
family stuff, honey.

Mama, I promise
I'll be good at that.

JENNA: Ohh.

You'll be great at it, honey.

ANNOUNCER [ON TV]: Here's the
snap. White drops back at the pass.

The Bovines send in a four-man
rush. White steps out of the pocket...

- What are you doing?
- Nothing.

ANNOUNCER: He's a full
stride ahead of Benson...

Nothing? I mean, there's
less than two minutes to play.

SMU's on the fourth, a goal to
go. And you're looking at the wall.

Yeah. It doesn't work.

ANNOUNCER: Stumbles. Smith...
- What doesn't?

Their reverse.

ANNOUNCER: Let's
see what where they mark.

How do you know that?

- Tape delay. They lost.
- Ray.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, well, you're just gonna
have to make it up to me.

Okay.

[WHISPERS] I love you.

Okay, now, tell me.

Why are you
looking at that wall?

I was wondering how it
would look with a door in it.

It has a door.

A different door.

Not going outside.

[DONNA CLEARS THROAT]

One right here
going out to a nursery.

Oh. Oh.

But I decided I like the door
in the other house better.

Ugh. What other house?

The house I'm thinking
about building for us.

Where and when?

Well, up on a ridge
near Pepper's Meadow.

[CHUCKLES]

[SIGHS]

You wanna build a house?

Wanna see the plans?

Uh, you have plans?

You have to have
plans to build a house.

[GIGGLING]

Oh.

- How long have you had these?
- Now, don't get excited. Not very long.

I'm not sure I wanna move.

Well, I'm not sure
I want to either.

But that's what these
are for, to help us decide.

Oh, well, it doesn't have anything to
do with this house or that house or...

I know that.

Do you?

Has to do with whether or not...

we're gonna be able to
work out all of our problems.

- We don't have problems anymore.
- That's right.

[DONNA GASPS]

What is it?

It feels like an SMU reverse.

- Are you all right?
- Yeah.

- You sure?
- Ha, ha. I'm fine. Really.

How long does it
take to build a house?

Maybe we better get
started on that nursery.

[DONNA SIGHS]

CLIFF: Pam, it's all right
there in Katherine's diary.

She was trying to kill you.

You know, Katherine was
trying to kill you, not Bobby.

Then she jumped bail
and went to Europe.

And she went to Italy where she
offered Naldo a fortune to remarry Jenna.

To break her and Bobby up?

Yeah, and apparently,
Naldo figured the only way...

that he could force
Jenna to marry him...

was to kidnap Charlie...

and then threaten Jenna that
she'd never see her daughter again.

That's awful.

But that wasn't good
enough for our sister.

Because she worried that Naldo
would someday tell the truth...

so she hired an assassin to
kill him and pin it on Jenna.

And that was the
same assassin...

that murdered Jenna's
only witness on the airplane.

Cliff, it's all so crazy.

Very.

But that was her way of
getting Jenna out of Bobby's life.

And then she tried to
do the same thing to you.

So much hate.

How could so much
hate be in one person?

Where did the
police find this diary?

They found it in her motel room.

I don't think we should
tell anybody about this.

You know, especially J.R. That
would only make a bad situation worse.

More hate.

And more hurting.

Well, I'm not gonna
let J.R. hurt you.

I'm not gonna let
anybody hurt you anymore.

Maybe I should sell
Christopher's interest in Ewing Oil.

Well, maybe you should.

You know, whatever
you think is best.

You know, I only wanna
do what's best for you.

I'll help you in any way I can.

Thank you.

- Do you have any questions, Mr. Ewing?
- Yes.

What if I decided
to change my mind?

It doesn't happen very often,
but I would respect your wishes.

It wouldn't be a problem.

I just wanna make
sure everything's perfect.

We're the best.

- Would you like to see for yourself?
- No.

Well, I mean, that won't be
necessary. Where do I sign?

- By the X here.
- Mm-hm.

- And here.
- Right.

And, uh, on the
bottom of the next page.

Yes, there.

All right, thank you.

From this point on, we
will take care of everything.

The transfer will be
arranged for tomorrow.

Good. I'll call you and
check with you then.

As you wish.

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

Mama.

It's all right, J.R.

You've done what had to be done.

Someday, Sue Ellen
will thank you for it.
