Post by bunniefuu »

I can't believe my mother would be seen with a man like that.

You're having me followed?

Have you no respect for anyone's privacy?

That family has been a thorn in my side for longer than I care to remember...

and I'm gonna bring them to their knees, thanks to you.

You're a loser, Barnes. You always will be.

You're gonna be the loser soon as your daddy...

sells out to Westar.

I need to see Miss Ellie. Move aside, Ray.

- I'm starting to get really worried. - Yeah, so am I.

ELLIE: I don't believe you were waiting out back for me to get home.

J.R.: Won't have you making a fool of yourself.

How dare you.

Mama, you are going too far.

I've told you to stop interfering in my life.

I cannot believe my own mother would be seen in public with that man.

Dating him, for God's sake. And in a horse and buggy.

- How do you know? - Am I wrong?

You're having me followed?

Have you no respect for anyone's privacy?

I'm having him followed because I want to know what that charlatan is up to.

Do you have any idea how you're hurting this family?

Don't you talk to me like that, J.R.

That man is tearing this family apart and you're helping him do it.

Bobby and I were serious the other day.

There's a time coming when you'll have to choose between him and us.

So you've come to Washington to talk about oil.

Seems to be an awful lot to talk about these days.

DOWLING: Mm-hm. Tsk.

How can I help you?

I represent a group of independent oil producers.

- In Texas? - Yes.

Because of what's happened to the price of oil...

every one of them is hurting.

There's a lot of people hurting and they're not all in the oil business.

I'm aware of that.

But I can only speak for the people I know.

I thought because of your work on the energy commission...

you might be able ... MURIEL: Senator.

- The White House. DOWLING: Thank you, Muriel. Excuse me.

Andrew Dowling here.

Oh, yes, Mr. President.

Yes, sir.

Oh, I'll come right over.

I'm sorry, we'll have to postpone this. The president wants to see me.

- Now? - Yeah, he wants to twist my arm...

on that tax bill.

Mrs. Krebbs, will you forgive me?

Of course.

I will reschedule as soon as I can.

I would really appreciate it.

And next time, I promise we will not be interrupted.

Not even by Pennsylvania Avenue.

- Andy, see you on the floor. - Thanks, Dave.

- Charming man. - Mm. Yes, he is.

I'm afraid his views on oil aren't exactly the same as yours.

Precisely the reason I'm here, to convince him that my views...

are better.

[DOOR OPENS]

JACKIE: Cliff, Pam just got in.

- Yeah. Mm-hm. Oh, contracts. - Mm-hm.

- Hi. - Mm. Good morning.

Actually it is. I just got word on ...

they're definitely gonna let me keep it open.

Oh.

I had the rig foreman come up. We had our photograph taken together.

Just a little bonus. Heh-heh.

I'm sure he appreciated that more than something he could spend.

Ha. Times are hard. Ha-ha-ha.

You've pinpointed the problem?

Yeah, you know, I thought about that and I thought about that...

and then, it just came to me.

You mean, you finally listened to Jamie.

Hmm? What? No, listen. Actually, she just reminded me...

something that I forgot.

That's the...

I wanna talk about this contract you put together...

where you have percent of my company.

You left something out. I wanna talk about it.

- I left something out? - Yup, money.

You said you'd put up a line of credit, but you didn't say how much.

Well, as much as we need.

- Fifty million? Hundred million? - Much as we need.

- Good, because we're gonna need it. - May I see that contract?

See, I put a list of companies together that really look like good buys.

We ought to do that as fast as we can.

That's what all the smart money's doing.

- Give me the paperwork. - What paperwork?

On the companies you want us to buy.

Then I'll get back to you with my decision.

You wanna read financial reports on all those?

Did you think I'd buy something without reading it over?

Didn't you hear me say they were terrific buys?

You've said a lot of things before.

You gonna want to approve every deal I make?

No, just the ones you want money for.

[SCOFFS]

Hi, J.R.

Stay on your horse, Clayton.

At least you're sitting down.

What's happened?

Well, what's happened is...

your wife spent the better part of yesterday evening with Wes Parmalee.

Riding around downtown Dallas in a horse-drawn buggy.

[SIGHS]

Clayton, you gotta move back to Southfork.

We need you.

It's ironic, isn't it?

You and me siding up against a man that may be your father.

That man is not my daddy, we all know that.

Except maybe Mama.

That damn charm peddle! Got her head turned around so bad...

she doesn't know whether she's coming going.

Now, I want to tell you something.

It's no secret that I didn't want my mama to many you...

but I'd have to be blind not to see...

the wonderful things you've brought into her life.

And I just want to let you know that I'm proud to have you in my family.

Thanks, JR.

I can't tell you what it means to me to have you say that.

Now we got to put our heads together...

and do something about that swindler.

He's a lot more dangerous than we ever thought.

Yes, he is.

The way things stand now, Mama could lose her head completely...

and go riding off into the sunset with him.

You've gotta come back.

I can't till the situation's cleared up.

We", suppose before it's cleared up...

he makes her fall in love with him?

Hell, she's a woman. You know how emotional they get.

Come back, Clayton.

I'm sorry, J.R., I can't yet.

[SIGHS]

Are you gonna take a chance on losing her?

Your mama's gonna have to make the decision which one of us is her husband.

I'll see you, J.R.

You're absolutely certain that's the man you cared for?

DOCTOR: I know that face very well.

I created it.

Forgive me, I know you've gone through all these questions with Mr. Gordon.

- It's very important to me. - I don't mind.

Now, you say, at first, he had no idea who he was.

Not at first, no.

You see, he was found by one of the tribes in the jungle...

One of the more civilized tribes, fortunately.

And taken to a small French missionary hospital in the interior.

They stabilized him and began working on the physical damage.

And he was in a coma?

Initially. But he was out of that by the time the missionaries...

- brought him to us. - Who did he say he was?

He didn't know. He had lost all memory of everything.

It's a way the mind has of protecting itself.

Well, when did his memory come back?

Not for a long time.

Six or eight months maybe after he got here.

- And you talked to him during that time? - Oh, yes...

whenever he could stand it.

Don't forget, he was in terrible pain.

We discussed who he might be...

what his life might have been like.

Total amnesia.

And his body was so damaged...

that we couldn't get any clues from that either.

And then one morning I walked into his room...

and he looked at me.

He had tears in his eyes.

“It came back to me last night," he said.

“I remember who I am. I'm Jock Ewing.

My name is Jock Ewing.“

You won't find any problems.

I don't guess I will.

You're a real thorough man, aren't you, Jeremy?

Sloppiness has never been one of my sins.

You won't mind me asking how come you're putting out so much money...

when you can't be sure if I can sell you Ewing Oil.

If you can prove you're Jock Ewing, you can sell it.

This contract will guarantee that you'd sell it to me.

You must be pretty sure I am.

My lawyers tell me...

that you can win the case. That's good enough for me.

You don't care whether I'm Jock or not.

Why should I? As long as I get what I want.

I don't...

I don't even care... if I get Ewing Oil.

I'd be just as happy to tie it up in litigation for the next or years.

Why?

Why?

That family has been a thorn in my side for longer than I care to remember.

This is the best chance I've ever had to break them.

And I'm gonna bring them to their knees...

thanks to you...

Mr. Parmalee.

[DOOR OPENS]

Sony to pop in on you without an appointment or anything.

Oh, that's all right. I was just about to call you. Ha-ha.

Our deal was left up in the air.

Well, now, actually I said I'd give you till the Oil Baron's Ball...

- to come up with money. - I appreciate that.

Well, I waited even longer...

until yesterday.

What I came by for was to tell you that I had to close.

With Westar.

Well, the fact is Wendell is buying up practically the whole of Texas.

Yes, I know.

Well, did you know he's finalizing the deal with your daddy?

- Get out. - Now, sorry, J.R.

- I didn't mean to offend you. - You did.

- I saw the goings-on at the ball... - I don't give a damn...

what you saw. I don't wanna see you around.

You don't know the difference between friend and enemy.

Now, get the hell out.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

SLY [OVER INTERCOM]: Bobby's calling in from South America, J.R., line two.

Bobby.

BOBBY [OVER PHONE]: Yeah.

What do you have? What did you find?

So far, nothing very good.

I'm heading into the interior tomorrow so I'll be out of touch for a while.

I'll call you whenever I can get a phone.

But don't waste any time. The company is losing credibility...

- day by day. - Yeah, I know.

Bobby. - What?

I don't know about you...

but I'm starting to get worried.

Yeah, so am I.

[VALENTINE CHUCKLES]

Thank you for meeting me.

We have to talk.

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah, well, let's talk.

We just got a star-Spangled offer.

Take it and I will even forgive you for getting rid of Mandy.

Uh... Heh-heh.

I didn't get rid of Mandy. I just lent her to Hollywood for a while.

So tell me about the offer.

Do you know Scheflerman Industries?

- Yes. - Big, huh?

Major manufacturers.

Worldwide sales.

Their annual report reads like a national budget.

They want to buy us out.

[LAUGHS]

Well, do you wanna know how much for?

Not really, no.

Well, go on. Take a guess.

It's a fortune.

I'm sure it is.

But I'm not interested.

You see, I was thinking along other lines.

I was thinking of expanding.

[SCOFFS]

I don't believe it.

- Mrs. Ewing, do you realize how...? _So__

You know my name.

- Huh? - My name.

I never told you.

[LAUGHS]

All due respect, ma'am. But you cr*ck me up.

Do you think I just came out of the cornfields or what?

I know who you were two days after you first walked in.

Really?

Then I guess I ought to thank you for keeping that little secret.

Absolutely.

Now, as for this Scheflerman offer...

I think we should sell.

Well, I don't.

Maybe I should buy you out.

Heh. You wanna buy me out?

You seem so anxious to sell.

Oh, you're really pretty sure of yourself, aren't you?

I believe in our product.

Well, you're a pretty shrewd lady.

If you don't wanna sell, maybe I don't either.

Okay.

I will keep my wagon hitched to your star.

Your confidence is inspiring.

- Thank you. - That's good, thank you.

Hmm.

You really didn't have to invite me out like this.

Hey, it's the least I could do.

I don't know whether you realize it or not...

but if you hadn't figured out where heavy metal was coming from in ...

why, I'd have had to shut that down. And that would have been a disaster.

I'm glad that I could've been of some help to you.

You were, yeah.

And I owe you an apology...

because there really is something going on...

in that head of yours.

- Would you like something from the bar? - Yeah, Scotch and water and... Oh.

Well, give her anything she wants.

- I'll have a club soda, please. - Thank you.

Thank you.

[SIGHS]

Ahem. Oh, listen, I almost forgot.

You know. I have that dissolution paper...

that your lawyer sent over. I read it, I signed it and it's just...

everything we agreed on.

Oh, good.

I think it's great...

we're not fighting over a property settlement.

Because breaking up a marriage can get so messy.

You know, this way. Everything that was yours is yours.

And everything that was mine was mine.

And then neither of us have any claim on the other.

Well, that's what you wanted.

Well, you know. It's the adult way to do things.

And this way, the best part is we can stay friends.

Mm-hm.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Ahem. I need to take a copy of that, though. Hmm?

Oh, you haven't signed it yet.

Oh, of course. Um...

But first, I'll need you to sign this.

- What is that? - Well...

You want $ million? I thought the agreement was...

we weren't taking out of the marriage.

Oh, Cliff, that $ million does not come out of the marriage.

That's my fee for solving your problem in the gulf.

You're billing me for that?

Heh. Well, yes.

Cliff, going out with you is very nice...

but $ million is much nicer.

And you did tell me how important my help was to you.

Don't you think this is going overboard a little?

Cliff, it would have cost you a lot more...

had you have been shut down.

Of course, if you disagree, we can just tear up these dissolution papers...

and we can let the divorce courts decide what you owe me.

Do you know what you're doing to me?

Oh, yes.

I'm doing exactly what you haven't done to me...

since just after we got married.

Thanks.

It's good.

[PAMELA SIGHS]

I feel so bad for you, Miss Ellie.

I wish there was something magical I could do to just...

lift this problem ” your shoulders.

They've all turned against me.

Clayton, J.R. and even Bobby.

They haven't all turned against you. They're against that man.

But what am I supposed to do?

If he is Jock...

no matter what he looks like...

this is his home.

And Ewing Oil is his company.

Isn't he entitled to that?

Well, if he's Jock, he would be, yes.

And he'd be entitled...

to have his wife back too, wouldn't he?

I know that I'm alone against everybody else...

but how can I tum my back on him?

He attracts you, doesn't he?

Stop me if I'm being too personal, Miss Ellie...

but does he attract you the way Jock used to?

I'm not sure.

Jock was so long ago.

So much has happened since he was lost.

Well, I understand the attraction...

but I was just wondering.

Are you attracted to him because he might be Jock...

or is it that you're attracted to that man, Wes?

Wes?

Maybe he moved something in you, Miss Ellie.

That man, whoever he is.

Is that possible?

CARL: No, I've kept the corporations active for you.

- They're just not heavy with assets. - We're gonna start to fill them up.

I'll send you a list of the holdings I want transferred.

Fine. And as for setting up any new corporations...

you might give some thought to who you want on the board.

Yeah, I already have.

I'll send you a list of those names over there too.

I guess I don't have to tell you, Call. That we don't have time to waste.

No, you don't have to tell me that.

Sly, come in here a minute, will you?

Yes, sir?

Carl, who just left, know what he does?

- Mr. Hardesty? - Yeah.

He handles some of your smaller corporations.

Yes, that's right.

And do you know why I maintain those corporations?

Come on, Sly. I know you know.

Well, I think, so you can hide certain assets in them...

that you don't want anyone else to know about.

That's right.

Now, you're a smart girl. You know how to keep your mouth shut.

And that's why I feel confident enough to ask you a question.

How would you like to be president of one of those corporations?

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Yeah?

I'm sorry to interrupt you...

but I think you might wanna catch the : news.

I was listening to my radio. You know those teasers...

they put on right before the commercials?

They said a group of mercenaries just att*cked...

a major Saudi Arabian oil field.

And that deficit is expected to grow larger.

The Middle East is heating up again.

There's a report of an aborted att*ck on one of Saudi Arabia's principal oil fields.

The att*ck happened between and a.m. local time.

First reports indicate a" of the attackers were k*lled.

The origin of the attackers is still unknown, though.

Syria is blaming the Iraqis, who are blaming the Iranians.

Different factions of the PLO are blaming each other...

while a spokesman for Soviet news...

issued a strong statement blaming America.

Elsewhere, the French government's efforts...

to control the country's fifth eco

I wonder if Americans were behind it.

That would be one way of getting oil prices to rise.

Americans never stoop to v*olence like that.

I hope not. Then again, times are pretty rough.

Good night.

You know, Sly, she's right.

When times are rough, people resort to desperate measures.

Do you know the kind of danger that Ewing Oil is facing?

With Mr. Parmalee? Yes, sir.

Is that why you wanna make me president of one of your corporations?

Exactly. It's beginning to look like he's getting the upper hand.

I can't believe that.

Well, neither could I. Neither did Bobby.

We need you, Sly. Will you help us?

Of course.

I'm proud that trust me enough to ask.

Good girl.

MAN: It's pretty hard to imagine.

Then again, we never found any other remains.

And we kept looking, long after you all went back to the States.

Does the name Wes Parmalee mean anything to you?

No, no, I don't think so.

I want you take a look at this.

Does he look familiar?

Look at the eyes or the mouth.

He's been through a lot of plastic surgery.

The whole face could be different.

Maybe the expression or something.

Well...

he does call something to mind.

I only saw your daddy a couple of times.

You'd know better than I it that was him.

Does he remind you of anybody...

- since you've been here? - Another American?

Maybe somebody at another base camp.

Wilfred Chaneau, Wyatt Haines, John Todds.

I only saw some of the people down here once or twice.

No, keep it.

Show it around.

Maybe somebody will remember something.

- Wish I could be more help. - Yeah, thanks.

Well, three more Americans to account for...

- and then that's it. - No.

Two more and Parmalee. He's got to be one of them.

I don't mean to doubt you, but if it were anybody but your daddy...

how could he know all those things you said he told you?

Just let me find out who he is. I'll figure out the rest later.

All right.

Well, the next base camp's about miles west of here.

We'll start first thing in the morning. Good night.

Good night.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

DOWLING: Mrs. Krebbs, you make a highly presentable case.

And if I were an independent oilman...

I'd be proud to have you speaking for me.

Thank you.

But I don't think you'll have luck here in Washington.

And why is that?

Because Washington doesn't care about the independents.

You see, big oil pushes the buttons around here...

and you're not gonna get them to support a protectionist tariff.

Maybe I will.

Yeah, and maybe Congress will return Manhattan to the Indians...

but I doubt it.

Look, the fact is big oil makes too much money...

me” their foreign reserves.

And don't forget that they make a profit...

a percentage off the top of every barrel sold.

Okay, but the price of foreign crude is also falling.

Sure it is.

And that's why the Saudis have upped their production.

They just open the spigot and double the output.

And then the majors are crying all the way to the banks.

There has to be a way.

DOWLING: Well, if you find one, you can come on back.

- I'll do that. - I hope so.

Uh, Mrs. Krebbs.

I don't mean to be forward...

but I'm surprised your husband allows you to travel around like this.

I didn't take you for a chauvinist.

Oh, I'm not.

My wife, may she rest in peace, worked that out of me.

It's just that I've known some Texas men...

and I've noticed they keep a tight rein on their wives.

Some do.


Some don't.

And which category does Mr. Krebbs fall into?

My husband and I are separated.

I see.

Well, given your condition, I'd say you're in for some trying times.

I'm sure I can deal with it.

I have a feeling you can too.

- Good evening. - Evening.

[PIANO PLAYING]

- No, thanks. - It's a free one.

Lady up the bar is buying.

This is very kind of you, young lady.

But I can't accept it.

Why not? It's not hemlock.

I didn't think it was.

It's just that in my day...

a lady didn't buy a man a drink.

I didn't mean anything by it.

I just don't know anybody in Dallas.

And I was watching you sitting there all by yourself...

looking lonelier than I am.

I thought maybe you would be somebody I could talk to.

But if you'd rather be alone... All right.

But you gotta let me buy the drink.

Mm. That would be very nice.

Are you new to Dallas too?

No, not exactly.

But I've been gone for a while.

Really? Where?

Well, lots of places.

Starting out in the jungles of South America.

Jungles?

Tell me about that.

Well, I was in the oil business.

And that first bunch went in down at Lake Maracaibo.

You have the greatest voice.

Well, I was with that bunch.

BARTENDER: There you are.

Excuse me.

You all right?

Yeah.

It's just the saddest story I've ever heard.

I didn't mean to depress you.

Lots of people have lost their families...

but you've lost yours twice.

Well.

I guess I bored you long enough.

- Time to get some sleep. - No.

You haven't bored me.

In fact...

I know we just met...

and my mother wouldn't approve...

Little lady...

you sure are beautiful.

And I've got a notion it goes deeper than skin.

- But you'd hate yourself in the morning. - No.

Like I told you, there's someone I love.

Love does strange things to people.

Especially when their springtime's passed...

and you're heading, like I am. Into winter.

Thanks for the offer, though.

Makes me feel alive again.

Bartender, could I use your phone, please?

Sure.

Hi, it's me.

What did you find out?

Nothing you're gonna want to hear...

or me either, for that matter.

If he's not your father...

he's putting on the best act I've ever seen.

Hello, Clayton.

How are you?

I'm not very well.

I heard you and Parmalee had quite a night on the town.

I'm sorry.

There were just some things that I had to find out.

I guess I had to find out some things myself.

Oh?

Damn it, Ellie, I'm like a schoolboy.

This mess has got me all tied up in knots.

I'm jealous and I'm hurt.

You have no idea how hard it is to stay away from you.

[SIGHS]

It's hard for me too.

Have you... and I am tired of being fair.

What's happening to us shouldn't be, Ellie.

You're my wife. The woman I want to spend my life with.

And I can't stand the fact that I might lose you.

You won't, Clayton.

You won't.

Clayton.

Clayton, listen to me.

I don't know if that man is Jock or not.

But if he is...

whatever awful things happened to him have changed him...

so much that he's not the Jock that I knew.

What I want you to know is that what is past is past...

and there'll be no more ghosts in your life.

You really mean that, Ellie?

Oh, Clayton.

I've put you through so much...

and I don't wanna lose you.

I wanna live with you...

as long as you'll have me.

I can't tell you how glad I am to hear you say that.

[ROOSTER CROWS]

[LATCH CLICKS]

[RINGS]

Hello.

Mr. Ewing, glad I caught you.

That picture you gave me, I think I remember something.

Good news or bad?

Depends upon your point of view.

There's a guy I think you ought to talk to.

Okay, I'll be right over.

[BAND PLAYING UPBEAT COUNTRY MUSIC]

[LAUGHTER]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

MAN: Howdy, Mr. Ewing. Get you a drink?

- Yeah, a bourbon and branch. - Okay.

- Andy. How are you doing? - All right, thank you for inviting me.

Well, I'm glad you could make it here. Go help yourself to barbecue, hear?

Hey.

- Looking for Bobby? - Yeah.

- You said he wasn't arriving until later. - I'm not sure he's gonna make it today.

- Just hoping. - Heh. No more than I am.

Hang on a second, I wanna talk to you.

I don't like that you invited that moron brother of yours to my barbecue.

And what's this I hear about you buying into his company?

NM now, JR.

You're not two months married to Bobby...

and you're making it impossible for us to live together.

I know you're upset about a lot of things, but don't take it out on me.

You better get your loyalties straight. You're a Ewing now.

And Cliff's my brother.

Yeah, well, there's nothing I can do about that.

Do you realize what that pipsqueak's gonna do?

Any money you give him he's gonna use to att*ck us.

No, I'm gonna be there to stop him.

If you weren't so pigheaded, you'd see that my partnership in his company...

could be good for all of us.

Maybe I can finally put an end to this useless family feud.

[MEAT SIZZLING]

Oh, does that look good. Heh.

Oh, Clayton.

Oh. I've been looking for Ellie everywhere, where is she?

- She's in the house, she'll be out. - Oh.

Punk and I are just so happy that you're back home with her again.

- Thank you so much. - Any word from Bobby yet?

Yes, as matter of fact, J.R. heard from the office. He's on his way back.

- Did he say anything? - No, the message was secondhand.

There you are. Clayton, I've got to claim my woman.

- We got some fancy dancing to do. - Well, that's what you're here for.

- See you later. - See you later.

Honey.

Clayton looks worried.

He's got a right to.

Nothing good's gonna come of this, I can tell you that.

Hello, Jack.

Lord, you sure do get around, don't you?

I was voted Miss Popular in school.

Why don't you go find somebody to play with more your own age?

Excuse me.

Guess what I have for you.

Now, what's this?

Just a silly court order.

I wouldn't have bothered you now...

but I've been hearing all these rumors that you're gonna be leaving Dallas.

Yeah, you got that right.

Aha.

Well, I'm glad we could get together on this.

Now, this little court order is from a very nice judge herein Dallas...

that J.R. introduced me to.

It says that my settlement is valid in Texas...

which means that percent of your income is my income.

See? Right there.

Mm... Oh, yeah. So I see.

Well, you know, I had a little feeling that you might be here this afternoon...

so I brought a little something for you to read too.

- Oh, yeah? And what's this? - Mm-hm.

It's a bill of sale.

STEVENS: For what?

JACK: My share of Ewing Oil, my percent.

I sold it yesterday to Jamie.

For a dollar?

[CHUCKLES]

That's right.

And...

here's your share.

You won't get away with this.

- Ha-ha-ha. - I'll sue you, I'll sue her.

What the hell is going on here, huh?

We had a deal. You promised to sell to a Barnes, not a Ewing.

That's why I gave you all the money.

Hey, listen. I kept my part of the bargain, Cliff.

I mean, Jamie is a Barnes, you know.

[CHUCKLES]

At least until your dissolution goes through.

I just can't believe you coming out here again...

especially knowing how people are feeling.

I need to see Miss Ellie.

I cannot believe the hurt that you're causing this family.

Nobody's hurting any worse than I am.

Maybe, but you're the one that's causing it.

You got Miss Ellie's head all twisted around.

You turned her sons against her.

You put Clayton Fallow, one of the finest men in the world...

through the ringer.

Move aside, Ray.

I need to see her.

You know, at first...

I played that you were Jock.

But now, even if you are, I don't think I care anymore.

You're not the man I loved.

He would've disappeared off the face of this earth...

before he broke a family up like you have.

You're a good man, Ray.

Any man would be proud to have you as a son.

[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

Do you mind if I cut in?

- As a matter of fact, I do. - This is my wife.

Hey, I'm sorry.

Come on, Jamie, I gotta talk to you.

[SIGHS]

Uh...

I don't really know how to say this, you know...

but since we split up, I can't get you out of my mind.

- What? - Yeah, I've been thinking about it.

I've been thinking about things and it comes back.

It haunts me every night. I can't explain it.

- Cliff, what do you want? - I want you.

I want you back.

What are you talking about?

I don't want our marriage to break up.

You know, now I realize...

that I love you more than anything else in the world.

You know, Cliff. You are absolutely perfect.

No, I'm not. No, I've got faults.

You heard that Jack sold me his share of Ewing Oil, didn't you?

No.

Cliff Barnes, you are the sorriest excuse for a man that I have ever met.

Well, I'll second that.

Oh, get lost, J.R.. I'm talking to my wife.

Good Lord, you're not going back with this imbecile, are you?

[SCOFFS]

With all the people at this barbecue, how did I wind up with you two?

I was wondering about that.

You're a loser, Barnes. You always were, always will be.

Ah. No, you're gonna be the loser...

as soon as your new daddy sells out to Westar.

- You shut your mouth about him. CLIFF: No.

You're gonna lose your whole company.

- Cliff. - All right, Barnes, that's about it.

- You rat. - Hold it, J.R.

- Hey, knock it off, Barnes. CLAYTON: Hey, it's Bobby.

J.R.: Look out, folks.

- Bobby, I was worried about you. Oh. - I'm all right.

What did you find out?

Punk, you remember a man named Wyatt Haines?

Wyatt Haines? Yeah, he's one of our original group.

Wound up at mine! base camp.

When Daddy got the fever there, was Haines around at that time?

Well, yeah, he could have been.

When Daddy got that fever...

he started ranting and raving, talking about his life...

family, the early years.

Yeah. Yeah, he was. Why?

Well, I know who Wes Parmalee really is. Where's Mama?

She's in the house with Parmalee.

Mama, I found some things out in South America...

- I think you should know. - I do know.

Wes Parmalee is not Jock.

He told me himself.

- He told you? - Just like that?

Where is he now?

He's gone.

Well, he couldn't have gotten far.

ELLIE: Clayton. Clayton, it's over. Let it be over.

CLAYTON: Anybody seen Parmalee?

MAVIS: Clayton.

While you were all fighting, I saw him get into his car.

We'll never catch up with him.

Well, I will.

Maybe not today...

but one day, he's gonna pay for what he did to my family.
