10x09 - Bells Are Ringing

Post by bunniefuu »

BOBBY: Pam.

- How long have you been standing here? - I heard everything.

I'm sorry. But there's going to be a slight delay.

Nothing serious.

Is what I heard true? Jenna's having Bobby's kid?

Pam won't many Bobby. Isn't that what you wanted?

I feel like I'm gonna lose you again. But this time it's gonna be forever.

And that's the one thing I just couldn't stand.

- Get over here right away. - I am not going to Bobby's wedding.

I'm not talking about as a guest. I'm talking about as the bride.

J.R.: Did I hear right?

- Is this some kind of joke? RAY: It's no joke.

Jenna Wade is pregnant.

- But she can't be. RAY: Can't she?

You're the father, Bobby.

J.R.: Well, don't that b*at all.

BOBBY: But why didn't she tell me?

- She didn't want you to know. - She wanted you to know?

Well, this is a whole new ball game.

- We ought to call off the wedding. - I have to find Pam.

J.R.: Think about your own natural child, Bobby.

Pam.

- How long have you been standing here? - I heard everything.

Come with me.

WOMAN: Why hasn't it started? - Haven't the slightest.

- I hope nothing's wrong. - I know.

Pam.

Look at me.

Why did this have to happen?

Today of all days.

I know.

It was a shock to me too.

Is that supposed to make me feel better that the father was the last to know?

It's not my fault that Jenna didn't tell me.

If we'd known, we could've invited her.

The mother of Bobby's child, front row center.

Pam, don't make it any worse.

Don't tell me that. I'm hurt and I'm angry.

And we're gonna work this out.

We're gonna be married.

Jenna is pregnant.

But you're the one I love.

Why is this happening after everything we've been through?

I thought we were finally gonna put the bad behind us.

That we were finally going to be together.

We are together.

And happy?

What about Jenna?

It's over between her and me, you know that.

Well, tell me this...

how am I supposed to many you...

knowing that another woman is carrying your child?

I thought Pam would've been running down the aisle.

Yeah.

SUE ELLEN: John Ross. Come here, sweetheart, quick.

Sweetheart, have you seen Pam and Bobby?

But Daddy and Uncle Ray are talking real loud.

SUE ELLEN: Thank you, sweetheart.

I thought Jamie would be with Pam.

SUE ELLEN: Jamie, what's wrong?

[SCOFFS]

Ray just told Bobby that Jenna's pregnant.

Dear Lord.

Ray. Ray.

Is it true?

Yes, it's true.

It's Bobby. Are you satisfied?

[PHONE RINGING]

- Hello? - Jenna, J.R. here.

I'm not in the mood to talk, J.R.

Especially today.

And especially to a Ewing.

Ugh. I just wanna ask you one question.

Is it true about the baby?

Ray has a big mouth.

[CHUCKLES]

We always did agree on things, didn't we?

JENNA [OVER PHONE]: Does Bobby know?

Yes. Yes, he knows.

That's the last thing I wanted.

What I want you to do is get over here right away.

I am not going to Bobby's wedding.

I'm not talking about as a guest. I'm talking about as the bride.

If I wanted that, I would've told him myself.

You're not gonna let that Barnes woman walk out with your ring on her finger?

Let her have it.

I don't want it anymore.

You have got to make Bobby do right by you.

Now, you and I both know that you're the perfect wife for him.

Jenna?

[SOBBING]

That's why they haven't started to play the wedding march.

I wonder if they will.

Well, I... Is what I heard true?

Jenna's gonna have Bobby's baby?

JAMIE: Yes, and that should make you very happy.

Why?

Because maybe now Pam won't many Bobby.

- Isn't that what you wanted? - Well, sure, but not like this.

Oh, Cliff, why don't you just leave?

No, I'm not going till I found out how my sister's taking it.

JAMIE: Why should you care?

The only person you've ever cared about is Cliff Barnes.

I don't know why you're hostile. You're the one that walked out.

You're gonna have a hard time swallowing this...

if you say one more word.

Look, no offense, I know you're looking after your sister.

I'm looking after my sister too.

And no matter what you think of me, I do love my sister.

ELLIE: Attention, everybody. Please.

There's, uh... There's gonna be a slight delay.

Nothing serious.

But in the meantime, enjoy yourselves.

J.R.: Mama.

[J.R. CLEARS THROAT]

A slight delay?

Send these people home, there's not gonna be any wedding.

We don't know that, J.R.

You think Pam's gonna many Bobby now?

- I hope she has more pride than that. - Stop it, J.R. Just stop it.

Pam, I'd have done anything not to hurt you.

It's one thing your knowing that I was with Jenna.

It's another to know there's a child on the way.

And I do know what I'm asking you to live with.

I'm being selfish.

But I can't imagine spending the rest of my life without you.

There are some people who would like nothing better than to see us apart.

They don't understand what we have and they never will.

But it makes me sad...

to think of throwing us away.

We did that once.

[BOBBY SIGHS]

And in the next few minutes I feel like I'm gonna lose you again.

And this time it's gonna be forever.

And that's the one thing I just couldn't stand.

Bobby.

You're not going to lose me.

I think I need a little champagne.

STEVENS: Mr. Ewing. - Yeah?

STEVENS: There's nothing wrong with the wedding, I hope.

Oh, uh, no.

But why don't you ask Cliff Barnes? Or better yet, your ex-husband.

I'm sorry I wasn't quite honest with you before.

Forgetting a little thing like your last name is Ewing?

My marriage to Jack isn't exactly something I like to talk about.

You know. I'll never understand women.

You married one turkey and now you're seeing another one. Ha, ha.

STEVENS: Mr. Barnes has been very nice to me.

- Oh, has he? STEVENS: Yes.

When I came to the Ewing office...

all you did was tell me how badly the oil business was doing.

Now, darling, I was just trying to pass on the cold, hard truth.

Really?

Mr. Barnes says he knows how I could make a lot of money.

- Oh, yeah? In oil? - In oil.

Well, Ms. Stevens Ms. Ewing or whatever your name is...

- you got a problem. - I do?

J.R.: Mm-hm.

The last time Cliff Barnes gave anybody an advice it was to General Custer.

He said. “Don't you worry about them Indians.“

[CHUCKLES]

ELLIE: Attention, everyone.

Please take your seats, we're going to get started with the wedding.

- Bobby, it's not too late. - Shut up.

[BAND PLAYING “WEDDING MARCH"]

- You know what I'm thinking? - No.

You're walking straight into hell.

Just keep walking.

You want that Barnes woman over your own flesh and blood?

If you don't be quiet, you're gonna see more flesh and blood...

- than you ever dreamed of. - Gentlemen, please.

MINISTER: Who giveth this woman?

I do. I'm her brother.

MINISTER: Dearly beloved...

we are gathered here in the sight of God...

to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony.

Into this holiest state...

these two persons come now to be joined.

If any man can show just cause...

why they may not lawfully be joined together...

let him speak now...

or forever hold his peace.

Pam.

Bobby.

This is the second time around for you both...

to each other.

Love comes from opening one“: heart.

Marriage comes from committing that love.

May we have the rings you've brought for each other?

The wedding ring symbolizes the pledge you've made to each other.

But always remember...

the real pledge is in your heart.

As you place the rings on each other's fingers...

repeat after me.

! Bobby Ewing... BOBBY: , Bobby Ewing.

MINISTER: take thee, Pam... BOBBY: take thee, Pam...

MINISTER: ta be my lawful wedded wife.

BOBBY: to be my lawful wedded wife.

MINISTER: To have and to hold...

BOBBY: To have and to hold...

MINISTER: "Jar richer or poorer...

BOBBY: for richer or poorer...

MINISTER: from this day forward... BOBBY: from this day forward.

MINISTER: till death do us part. BOBBY: till death do us part.

MINISTER: I, Pamela Barnes Ewing...

PAMELA: I, Pamela Barnes Ewing...

MINISTER: take thee, Bobby...

PAMELA: take thee, Bobby...

MINISTER: ta be my lawful wedded husband.

PAMELA: to be my lawful wedded husband.

MINISTER: To have and to hold...

PAMELA: To have and to hold...

MINISTER: "Jar richer or poorer...

PAMELA: for richer or for poorer...

MINISTER: From this day forward.

PAMELA: from this day forward...

MINISTER: till death do us part.

PAMELA: till death do us part.

MINISTER: Jain right hands, please.

Pam and Bobby...

you have pledged your love, your trust and your faith.

By the authority vested in me by the great state of Texas...

it gives me immense pleasure...

to pronounce you man and wife.

You may kiss your bride.

[CROWD APPLAUDING]

I love you.

I know.

Well, I say three cheers for Pam and Bobby.

ELLIE: Yes, but poor Pam.

Poor Pam? How about poor Jenna?

I can't understand Bobby dumping her like that.

Well, pregnant women alone seem to be the fashion these days.

Jenna did not want to be alone.

Maybe she won't be.

Despite everything, it was a beautiful wedding.

I thought Pam showed a lot of spunk.

The only thing the bride showed was a total lack of self-respect.

Let's hear it for the man who wrote the book on self-respect.

Well, I, for one, think that Bobby and Pam will work things out.

Those two always did have something special.

DONNA: Well, did anybody notice the uninvited guest?

SUE ELLEN: Who was that?

DONNA: Wes Parmalee.

CLAYTON: How the hell did he get through security?

DONNA: Don't know, he didn't stay long. J.R.: How do you know?

Because I didn't see him when the ceremony started.

Well, I wish I'd seen him.

It's lucky for him he left.

He bothers this family one more time and he'll wish he hadn't.

JOHN ROSS: Come back here, Christopher.

ELLIE: Well, Christopher...

did you have a good time at Mommy and Daddy's wedding?

Yeah, now we'll be like other families.

Yeah, Bobby's gonna be real busy running from one house to the next...

visiting his offspring. Ha.

To us.

I wish I could erase that sad look on your face.

I wish tonight could've been different.

So do I.

You're going to have to see Jenna, aren't you?

- Tomorrow. - soon?

- Why don't you come with me? - Oh, it'll only be worse if I'm there.

I hate all of this.

You know what hurts the most?

Jenna's going to give you what you want the most.

Your own child.

- Christopher's my own. - You know what I mean.

Honey, Christopher is our son no matter how he came to be.

Jenna can have children.

I can't.

You'll give me the thing I want the most.

You.

That means so much more to me than having children.

Do you really mean that?

You're the one I married.

Not the promise of a large! family.

I hope that never changes.

But no matter how you feel right now...

I don't know how you're going to stay away from that baby.

Morning.

Ray, this really isn't a good day for company.

I came to apologize.

JENNA: For what, for telling Bobby?

RAY: How did you find out?

J. FL, of course.

I couldn't feel worse about this, Jenna.

Don't worry about it. It would've come out sooner or later.

Just about ruined the wedding.

Oh, well, too bad.

Without you it may have been a normal wedding.

I gotta put a muzzle over my mouth.

JENNA: Forget it.

They're married.

Closed chapter.

What are you gonna do now?

What I did before yesterday.

Get on with my life.

Have you decided about the baby?

No.

For the time being, I just cry a lot.

When I stop crying...

I talk to Charlie.

Charlie?

My life is a mess. Hers is a mess.

I'll be damned if I'm gonna mess up the baby's.

Whatever's decided...

Charlie and I will decide together.

BOBBY: Ray. - Bob.

JENNA: Shouldn't you be on your honeymoon?

Shouldn't we talk?

JENNA: We have nothing to talk about.

I think we do.

JENNA: I want you to leave.

Jenna, this concerns us both.

Are you pregnant too?

That won't accomplish anything.

I think you've gone deaf since you've gotten married.

Leave.

- Jenna. - Go back to your bride.

Sooner or later you're gonna have to talk to me.

J.R.: You mean to tell me he's not here?

- Mr. Valentine is at the new store. - I had an appointment right here.

- As a matter of fact... - I could leave a message.

Don't you think this old pink thing would...?

JR.

Well, uh, what do you think?

Don't you think this would be adorable on her?

What are you doing here, Sue Ellen? You lose your way to Neiman Marcus?

Same thing you're doing here.

- Just shopping for a little lingerie. - Come on, cut out the act.

I have a confession.

I was hoping that by my wearing some of these I might tum you on.

I know how much you like trash.

Nothing you could do would tum me on, Sue Ellen.

Are you sure?

Well, then maybe someone else will find me attractive in this.

- I'll take that too. - Yes, ma'am.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Then again, how could there be anybody else?

You have spoiled me for other men.

Bye now.

April.

STEVENS: Jack, what a lovely surprise. - I don't think so.

STEVENS: Would you oil my back for old times' sake?

Why don't you just cut the bull?

Well, aren't we upset.

You're gonna know the meaning of “upset“ if you don't do what I say.

And what's that?

Leave Dallas.

I like Dallas. I'm not ready to leave.

All right, what do you want, April? I'll pay you off.

STEVENS: With what?

Ten percent of Ewing Oil isn't exactly ready cash.

I'll get the money.

Wouldn't you miss me if I left?

Not for one minute.

It's one thing screwing up my life, but screwing up my sister's is another.

- You and that jerk, Cliff Barnes. - You know, I resent that. I really do.

Jamie's the one that walked out on me for no good reason.

She is the reason Jamie walked out on you.

It's crazy. There's nothing between April and me.

Oh, no? You always bring your briefcase to poolside?

Hey, we're just doing a little business. It's no big deal.

What are you two up to?

You know, you and your sister. That's what's wrong with you.

You are both so suspicious.

- I know you are cooking up something. - That's ridiculous.

- Look, this is a new suit.

JACK: What is it? What's your little scheme?

Hey, Jack. Hey, Jack.

[STEVENS CHUCKLES]

If you and I are gonna discuss business, we should dry you off.

You know, this is a new suit.

STEVENS: I've got a robe in my apartment. Come on.

J.R.: Yeah?

SLY: J.R., Harry McSween is here to see you.

J.R.: All right. Send him in.

SLY: Right this way.

- J.R. - What do you got for me, Harry?

Well, I did a thorough check of Jack Ewing...

all the way back to Alaska.

He's a natural-born drifter. Never in one place too long.

Except when he got married to one April Stevens.

They divorced, no kids.

I'm paying you to tell me something I don't know.

Did you know about the divorce settlement?

J.R.: No, what about it?

She got half his income.

Half?

There's nothing unusual about that.

Yeah, except that she got half his income for five years after the divorce.

Five years? Including any holdings he might come into after the divorce?

That's how it looks.

Huh.

[LAUGHING]

Well, smart girl.

Yeah, now I know what she's doing with Cliff Barnes.

Can I get you some appetizers?

RAY: No, I'm gonna wait.

Yes, sir. Do you have a reservation for Ray Krebbs? There he is.

Here she is.

RAY: Hi. - I'm sorry I'm late.

I'm just glad you could be here.

The meeting just took a lot longer than I thought.

You know oil men: talk, talk, talk.

Something from the bar?

Um, club soda, mineral water would be fine.

Thank you for suggesting dinner.

It's been a while.

It's been a long while.

How is the lobby coming along?

Slow. Real slow.

I don't think any of us quite realized just how much was involved.

Donna...

you know that look you threw me at the wedding...

when you heard Jenna was pregnant.

I'm sorry, Ray. I truly am.

I had no right to jump to conclusions.

After all this time we've been together...

you don't know me at all.

Maybe it's...

It's just that saying what we feel right now...

it's very difficult.

Didn't used to be that way.

Thank you.

Seems like there's a stranger sitting across from me instead of my wife.

Let's drink to something.

How about to your horse-breeding business?

Clayton and I had to put that on hold for a while.

Why? You were so excited about it.

RAY: It's bad timing.

Wes Parmalee's gone, I've gotta run the ranch again.

Those big changes I was gonna make...

seems like nothing's working out the way I wanted it to.

Are you ready for menus?

- Thank you. - Yeah, might as well.

- Thank you. CLAYTON: All right.

Now here's a toast to the newlyweds.

Oh, well, that makes toast .

[CLAYTON . PAMELA CHUCKLING]

CLAYTON: May your life be filled with as much love as your mother and I have.

- Hear, hear. - Oh, thank you.

Thirty-one.

[LAUGHING]

To Clayton and to Mama.

Pretty tough act to follow.

PAMELA: Oh. Hear, hear.

It's too bad that J.R. and Sue Ellen couldn't be here.

J.R. doesn't think our marriage is much reason for celebration.

So forget JR.

Your wedding was beautiful.

That's because my bride is beautiful, Mama.

Oh. Ha, ha.

I am gonna go home and take my beautiful bride with me.

- Clayton, the night's still young. - Yes, but we are not.

Your mother and I would like to spend some time to ourselves.

Well, don't let us keep you.

Good night, Mama.

- Thank you. - Good night, Miss Ellie.

- See you later. Bye. - Bye.

Next to you, those two are the best reasons for me to move to Southfork.

I suppose congratulations are in order.

Hello, Jordan, Andy.

- Evening, Pam. ANDY: Mrs. Ewing.

We missed you at the wedding.

Well, you know how it is.

Don't suppose that has anything to do with the oil lobby?

Of course not.

You don't think I'd carry a grudge about that.

Of course not.

Dropped by to check out a rumor that's going around.

Not interested.

JORDAN: You ought to be.

Especially when it's about family.

Well, then we're especially not interested.

Family's private.

Not even when the rumor's about your daddy being alive?


And walking around in the body of Wes Parmalee.

Any truth to it?

It's a lie. And Parmalee is a tool it he thinks he can get away with it.

And you two are bigger fools if you believe him.

Nice seeing you, Pam.

Good luck with the marriage.

I should have taken a g*n to Wes Parmalee when I had the chance.

We“. JR.

- Are you coming in or should I get out? - You better get out.

We got some important talking to do.

Hey, you look pretty warm in that suit.

You should loosen your tie a little bit.

J.R.: Hey, Jack. You may not be much of an Ewing but at least you are one.

I suppose you came here to talk about my birthright, huh?

J.R.: I came here to remind you of it.

Now, that little ex-wife of yours may not be an Ewing...

but she has her claws on half of everything you own.

I'm surprised it took you this long to find that out.

Jack, sell me your percent before she gets her hands on any of it.

[LAUGHING]

You know, I'll tell you. I don't like one thing about April...

but I'd rather give her percent than sell you .

I'm talking about making you a lot of money and here you are joking again.

Maybe I'm just not as interested in money as you are.

J.R.: No?

Well, I seem to remember not too long ago...

you got to town and you didn't have a nickel in your pocket.

And you sure didn't make a dime off Ewing Oil.

And here you are driving fancy cars and living in fancy apartments.

Well, I'm flattered about your interest in my financial affairs.

Yeah, it's fascinating.

Where's all the money coming from?

[CHUCKLES]

Well, you see. I've been such a good little boy...

that I was awarded with my own tooth fairy.

One thing I never joke about is Ewing Oil.

You're in my sun, J.R.

And you're in big trouble, buddy.

I just made you my last offer and you turned it down.

SUE ELLEN: Hello there.

Sue Ellen.

SUE ELLEN: I heard you got a job.

Thought I'd stop by to see how things were going.

Looks like your life's coming together.

I don't see it that way.

Everything I ever cared about is out of my reach.

Like John Ross?

I know you went to see him at school.

He's my grandson.

Until there's proof that you are who you say you are...

I don't want you near him.

You think I'd harm that boy?

I'd cut off my arm first.

I don't want you to lose your arm.

But I will protect my son.

You know, John Ross and I have a lot in common.

And what's that?

J.R. won't accept me on faith just like when he wouldn't accept John Ross.

What are you talking about?

That nightmare when John Ross was born.

J.R. wouldn't claim him as his own...

until there was proof that Cliff Barnes wasn't the daddy.

No, no, impossible. You can't know that.

If J.R. had had any faith, he would have known that baby was his.

Now I've got to prove who I am, just like my little grandson.

Stop it.

There is no way you can know about it.

About the paternity suit?

If you ask the boys, they'll tell you I read about it in the papers.

But I know because I lived it.

I'll be seeing you, Sue Ellen.

JENNA: This one's very nice. Would you like to try it on?

BOBBY: Jenna.

Would you please excuse me for a minute? I'll be right back.

I told you to keep away from me.

- Why didn't you tell me? - What difference would that have made?

- I have a right to know. JENNA: Oh, why?

So you could marry me for all the wrong reasons?

Thank God I didn't tell you.

Whatever happened, this child is mine too.

You gave up any rights to it when you married Pam.

Jenna, don't you understand that I care what happens to you.

Not just the baby.

Really?

Well, you got what you wanted.

I'm out of your life.

Now get out of mine.

I can't.

You know I can't.

I'm still the child's father.

As far as I'm concerned, this baby doesn't have a father.

You don't mean that.

I don't even know if I'm going to have it.

- You're not thinking ... - You made your choice.

Now I'm gonna make mine.

And it's none of your damn business what I do.

CALHOUN: Right on time, JR. - B.D.

Let's walk.

Bring the down payment?

Yeah, right here. One million.

Now, there's two things I wanna make sure of.

Name them.

Well, one is I don't want anybody hurt on this project.

Sorry, but there's no guarantees.

On a mission like this, there's a hell of a big difference between plan and reality.

What's number two?

Whichever way it goes, I want the trail to stop with you.

[CHUCKLES]

That's what you're paying me for.

Hold it there. I wanna show you something.

This is a satellite picture of the Saudi Arabian fields.

Over here are charges here, and over here.

I don't care about the nuts and bolts, I want the price up.

I thought you'd like to know what you're getting.

I'm getting B.D. Calhoun, that's good enough for me.

One million dollars seals our deal.

I'm gonna give you one last chance to back out.

I'm not backing out.

The wheels are in motion, J.R. The wheels are in motion.

BOBBY: Brides are carried across the threshold.

PAMELA: Even when it's their second time?

BOBBY: Especially. They know what they're getting into and most try to run.

Come on.

PAMELA: Look out. BOBBY: There we go.

Okay, careful.

- Okay, we're here now. Put me down. - Oh, no.

- Bobby. - Not till we get to the destination.

- Oh. - Ta-da.

[CHUCKLING]

There.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Pam.

Another short honeymoon.

I know.

I'll make it up to you. I promise.

I wasn't really thinking about honeymoons.

I didn't think you were.

You went to see Jenna again, didn't you?

[SIGHS]

Yes.

PAMELA: Well? What did she say?

She, uh, wouldn't have anything to do with me.

If I were Jenna, I'd probably feel the same way.

She's, uh, not even sure she's gonna have the baby.

No?

Well, it's her decision, isn't it?

Is it?

It's my baby too.

That's true, but it's not your problem.

How can you say that?

Bobby, if Jenna does have this baby, what are you going to do?

What do you mean?

Are you going to see it?

I hadn't thought about it.

And if you do see it, what about Christopher?

We have gone over this time and time again.

I know, but you've never answered me. Are you going to see the baby?

What do you expect me to do? Just forget about it?

Bobby, we're married now.

We have a child.

Is Jenna and her child going to be in our lives?

I can't answer that.

Well, I can.

There isn't a place for Jenna in our lives and we don't belong in hers.

Oh, Bobby. You can't have it both ways and if you're going to try to...

I couldn't take that.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

- Yeah? SLY [OVER INTERCOM]: Good night, .J.R.

See van in the morning.

All right, Sly.

- Evening, J.R. - Well, Franklin, I was just leaving.

- Can't it wait? - Kind of late for banker's hour, isn't it?

There's a rumor making the rounds that Jock Ewing's still alive.

There's not a word of truth to that. Not a word.

- You're sure? - The man is a con artist.

- The world is full of them. - But if he is Jock...

Romance novels have more truth to them than Parmalee's story. Believe me.

I realize the jury is still out. But there is the possibility.

All right, spit it out. What's on your mind?

If Parmalee is Jock, that puts a cloud over who really owns Ewing Oil.

A cloud? You're not taking this seriously.

But there's more.

You may have been acting in good faith...

when you used Ewing Oil as collateral, but legally...

You're beginning to irritate me.

Much as I hate to do this, J.R...

as of now the remainder of your $ million line of credit...

is on hold.

- Now you can't do that. - It's already done.

I'm in the middle of deals, what am I gonna do?

I'm sorry. Until the Jock issue is cleared...

Cattleman's Bank can't lend you a dime.

A con artist shows up here barely owning the shirt on his back...

and you run scared?

Your bank's got a yellow streak and a fraud calling the sh*ts.

I'll show myself out, J.R.

You do that. While you're at it, forget where the building is...

because you're never gonna be doing any business here again.

Hello.

Ellie.

I wasn't sure you'd come.

I gave you my word.

I can't tell you how happy I am to have you all to myself...

even for a little while.

I remembered yellow was your favorite.

- Oh, I can't. - Go on, Ellie.

It's only one rose. It can't hurt anything.

But, uh, I can't stay.

Now you promised me some time...

and I'm gonna hold you to it.

CLAYTON: Raoul. - Yes, Mr. Fallow.

- Mrs. Fallow's gone, where did she go? RAOUL: She drove into town.

She say where?

Yes, sir. The Dallas Museum of An.

- All right, thank you. RAOUL: Yes, sir.

Ellie, it's so good to be near you again.

Please don't.

I have to get something cleared.

I'm sorry.

Ellie, all I ever wanted was to be near the family.

Near you.

Now that I am...

it's hard.

I never would have come back if I'd have known it would have riled folks so much.

It's bad enough having my own sons look at me...

deny who I am.

But the worst part... is thinking of you...

spending your nights with another man.

You've got to stop saying things like that, please.

Ellie, if there were no Clayton...

ELLIE: But there is.

You're making things so difficult.

Jock"

Jock was everything.

He was my life.

And you say things to me and it all starts again, and I...

I just" I just...

Could you have looked at me differently?

What do you mean?

That something that was between us...

ever since I came to Southfork.

Would you have let it be something different...

and more...

if it weren't for Clayton?

Ellie...

I didn't come back to cause you pain.

I just wanted to be near you.

BOBBY: The bank did what? - You heard me. Our loan is off.

- We have a lot of deals pending. - Tell it to the bank.

Damn that Parmalee.

He's more trouble than a sack of snakes.

Yeah, and a lot deadlier.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

Yeah, what do you got for us, Sly?

SLY [OVER INTERCOM]: A call from South America.

It's Gordon.

All right, put him on.

- Hey, Gordon. GORDON [OVER INTERCOM]: .J.R.

- I got Bobby here. - Did you check out Parmalee?

Yeah.

I showed the pictures I took of him to the locals...

went over his tracks from the point of the helicopter crash.

Did you talk to the doctors?

Including the plastic surgeon.

Well, don't leave us hanging.

J.R., the doctors recognized him from the photos.

The medical records bear out his story.

The trail checks out all the way from the crash.

I don't know what you boys think...

but I'll give you odds, this guy is Jock Ewing.
