I think we could come to some arrangement.
Tell me what you have in mind.
It Jenna stays here with that baby, it's bound to affect our lives.
Christopher is my son. No one is going to cause him pain.
That percent really is important to you.
I've laid down money. I don't have anything to show for it yet.
Would you like something on account?
Death is too simple for somebody like you.
Keep looking over your shoulder.
One of these days, I'll be there.
[SCREAMS]
- J.R., I got here as fast as I could. - Oh, good, good, Gordon.
- Help yourself. - No, thanks. I never use it.
You generally stay here after everyone else has gone?
[SIGHS]
I want you to find B.D. Calhoun for me.
I don't think he'd like to hear from me after what happened in Saudi Arabia.
I am the one that introduced you two.
Well, whatever went wrong wasn't my fault.
Well, if I know B.D., he's blaming somebody.
He just might have the feeling that I was involved somehow.
Is he right?
Well, of course not.
Why would I sabotage a deal that'd get the price of oil back up?
I don't know.
I don't want there to be any hard feelings between ED. and myself.
So I want you to find him...
and convince him to forget he ever heard my name.
If you're thinking of buying him off...
I doubt it'll work even if I could contact him.
Well, even Calhoun would appreciate that a couple of million dollars...
would more than make up for the loss of a few lousy mercenaries.
Well, ED. is kind of peculiar.
He doesn't like to lose men.
And I'm not so sure I'd like to approach him with your offer.
But for enough money you would, wouldn't you?
And for enough money, he can forget he ever knew me.
All right, I'll try to talk to him.
But I'm not as sure as you are that Calhoun can be bought.
Never met a man yet that didn't have a price.
Even B.D. Calhoun.
I'll be in touch.
CHRISTOPHER: That's no reason.
PAM: Well, it's a good enough reason for me.
CHRISTOPHER: But everybody's going.
PAM: Not you. - Hey. What's going on?
- Daddy, can I go? - Hey, go where, pal?
His class is going on a field trip to Fort Worth tomorrow.
- To see the Stockyards and everything. - Wow.
- What's the problem? - Mommy won't let me go.
Well, how come?
You know how many bus accidents there have been lately?
And how do I know that he'll be properly supervised?
Anyway, if he wants to go so badly, we'll take him this weekend.
But you used to let me go on field trips all the time.
- Is that true? Did you? - Yes.
Well, is this one so different?
Not really.
Well, I won't say it's all right unless you agree.
Please?
- Ask her again. - Please?
All right, honey, you can go.
Thanks, Mom.
Okay, partner, run along.
Pam?
That wasn't like you at all.
Why didn't you want him to go?
I told you.
Well, I know what you said.
Why are you suddenly so overprotective of him?
Maybe I am.
But I can't stand the thought of his being hurt.
- He's not gonna be hurt. - How can you say that?
Pam.
Jenna's baby has nothing to do with Christopher.
Do you really think it would possibly change the way I feel about him?
What about the way he'll feel when he finds out he'll have a brother or sister...
but not from Mommy and Daddy?
- From Daddy and another woman. - Pam.
What about when the time comes that we have to tell him that he's adopted?
But that Jenna's child is your natural child.
We'll handle that when the time comes.
Well, the time is coming pretty soon.
And what about that child? Is it going to be a Ewing or a Wade?
And what about Jenna?
Is she gonna stay herein Braddock with her child right down the road from us?
Pam.
I don't have the answers to those questions right now.
You know that I love you, I love Christopher...
and nothing will ever change that.
Jenna's baby will only affect our lives if we allow it to.
It Jenna stays here with that baby, it's bound to affect our lives.
Christopher is my only child.
Probably the only child I'm ever going to have.
And nothing, no one. Is going to bring him pain.
ELLIE: Donna?
Good morning, Miss Ellie.
You ” to some meeting?
I've been wanting to talk to you.
But, well...
up to now, I just haven't found the way.
[SIGHS]
Is it about you and Ray?
Yes, ma'am.
I served him with divorce papers.
Oh, Donna.
I'm so sorry.
So am I.
Huh.
Somehow I...
I thought the two of you would work it out.
Well, there wasn't anything to work out.
We were both wrong for each other when we fell in love and got married.
Somehow or the other it...
It just didn't seem to matter much then.
I'm gonna be leaving Southfork.
That's not necessary.
Well, not because I really want to, but because I feel I have to do it for Ray.
I mean, my being here...
makes it impossible for him to even visit. You're his family...
not mine.
Well, what are you going to do?
Well, I'll be going back and forth to Washington a lot...
and because of that, I just felt like it would be better for all concerned...
if I established a different home base.
So I took a house in Turtle Creek.
I see.
But please don't think that you're not a part of this family.
That's what makes it so hard.
Because I really care about all of you very much.
[CHUCKLES]
I'm probably even gonna miss J.R.
You do what you have to.
But this isn't goodbye. We'll be in touch.
And you take care of yourself...
and that little baby you're carrying.
I love you.
[SIGHS]
Miss Stevens.
Jeremy Wendell.
Mr. Wendell, what a happy coincidence.
You bank here also?
Can I drop you somewhere?
That would be nice.
[ENGINE STARTS]
You do remember me.
From the Oil Baron's. I was with J.R.
How much do you know about me?
A little.
You're the president and chief executive officer of Westar Oil...
the eighth-largest oil company in the United States.
You have control over more reserves than other company in the Southwest.
My goodness, why would you take the trouble to find that out?
I saw from J.R.'s attitude that you were a force to be reckoned with in Dallas.
And I do like to know all I can about the rich and powerful.
The real question is:
Why were you waiting for me?
Could be I find you a very attractive and desirable woman.
How flattering.
And do you also find my rights to percent of Ewing Oil...
attractive and desirable?
Very.
You also must know that I'm having a little difficulty...
getting my hands on it.
Yes, I know that.
But I'm a strong believer in playing a futures market.
And more than that, I'm interested in people who are close to J.R. Ewing.
Now that his latest paramour's flown oft somewhere to be a movie star...
I have a feeling you may take her place.
And why would J.R.'s love life interest you?
J.R. is a very smart, tough man.
Possibly the only man in Dallas I worry about.
But like most men, I think he'd be less smart in bed.
Pillow talk.
I have the impression you're an ambitious young lady.
I think we could come to some sort of arrangement...
if you're amenable.
I've always been interested in the futures market myself.
Why don't you tell me what you have in mind?
Jenna.
Thank you for coming. Sit down.
Why did you wanna meet me here?
Well, I could hardly go to Southfork.
And I didn't want you at my place. That's why I called you at the office.
This is for your investment in the boutique.
Jenna, don't do this.
I finally sold it. Made a nice profit.
Enough to keep me from having to go back to work for a while.
I don't want this.
Now, why don't you keep it or use it for the baby?
I don't want anything from you for my baby.
It's my baby too.
Only biologically.
I'd be a lot happier if you just forget about me and the baby.
- Wanna see a menu? - No, thank you.
No, nothing for me. Thank you.
Jenna, sit down.
Now, you know I can't forget about the baby.
When are you gonna stop thinking about you...
and start thinking about other people?
That's a hell of a thing for you to say.
Oh, really?
Well, let me ask you about Pam and Christopher.
Don't you think they'd be happier...
without having the baby a pan of their lives?
When the baby is born, it'll be a lot better off with me...
than splitting its time between wherever I am and Southfork.
God knows I can get on with my life better...
if you're not a pan of it anymore.
You know what?
Everything you said may be true.
But do you think it can change the way that I feel?
Jenna, you're carrying my baby.
When that child is born, I'm gonna do everything...
to make sure it knows its father.
Now, I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is.
DORA MAE: Good afternoon, Mrs. Ewing. - Dora Mae.
- Mr. Lee is waiting for you. - Good.
JORDAN: Pamela? - Jordan, thank you for meeting me.
Would you like a menu new?
- In a few minutes. - All right.
- Can I bring you something, Mrs. Ewing? - Just a glass of iced tea.
- Mr. Lee? - The usual, Cassie.
You know. I've always been fond of you, Pam.
But if Cliff set this up trying to mend fences, forget it.
Why would he do that?
I told him when he backed out of our deal, I wouldn't do business with him.
Especially after he was trying to blame me for it.
Jordan, you know how Cliff is.
Dumb is how he is.
He'd come to you for the million, he'd be sitting in the catbird seat.
Instead of having to sell out to Marilee Stone for cents on the dollar.
So he did get the million back.
Pam, you on a fishing expedition?
What do you mean?
I don't think Cliff told you what happened to the million you invested.
Well, of course he did. I just wanted to hear your side of it.
I'm not happy that you won't do business with him anymore.
- Here you are. - Thanks.
I swore I wouldn't have anything to do with him.
But with you part of the company, well, we'll see.
At least with you backing him...
Cliff will have the money when he says he does.
That's right.
In fact, Cliff and I are going to have a little discussion about that real soon.
[INTERCOM BUZZES]
- Yeah? WOMAN: J.R., Mr. Gordon is here.
Send him in.
- Well? - I get a hold of ED.
As a matter of fact, it was easier than I thought.
How was he?
Well, he agreed to meet with me tonight, : .
Kind of surprised me.
Why?
Well, knowing B.D. like I do, I thought he'd be out for your blood.
He seemed reasonable.
Said he'd be glad to listen to your offer.
[CHUCKLES]
Well, didn't I tell you? Money is the bottom line.
Even for ED. Heh-heh.
Our meeting shouldn't take long. You wanna meet after?
Yeah, I'll be back here tonight, : .
All right, I'll meet you then.
I'll let you know how expensive B.D.'s bottom line is.
Don't you worry about the expense, you just make the deal.
Ten o'clock.
Hmm.
[CHUCKLES]
[CLEARS THROAT]
- Jackie, got any idea where my sister is? - She won't be in until after lunch.
She's probably out with Bobby, having fun somewhere...
- instead of being at work. - She's having lunch with Jordan Lee.
With Jordan Lee? Why would she have lunch with him? When did he call?
She called him.
Sh...
What was she doing when she called him?
Having a meeting with Leo Wakefield...
and they were going over some of the files.
Okay. Listen, when you see her, tell her...
that I'm not feeling too well so I'm gonna be leaving for the day.
Sony. Is there anything else you want me to tell her?
Yeah.
Tell her...
don't bother to call me or anything...
because I'll probably be at the doctor, so...
How am I gonna explain $ million?
Ah.
[HORSE NEIGHS]
Mr. Mancuso?
I'm Clayton Fallow.
I'm the husband to the Ewing boys' mother.
Right.
You gave a lie-detector test to a man by the name of Wes Parmalee.
That's right, Parmalee.
I wonder if I could get you to come back to Dallas...
so I could talk to you about it.
I realize your time is very valuable...
and I'm quite willing to pay whatever it'll take.
It's just something that I have to know for my own peace of mind.
Good. Thank you.
All right.
Call me when you get in town.
I'll see you then.
[EXHALES]
APRIL: How nice. Your little home away from home?
It's yours. All bought and paid for.
- Well, I'm flattered. - Well, it's just part of the bargain.
Now, look, Jamie's in California. I know exactly where.
I think it's time we started to work...
on trying to get your percent away from her.
Are you always all business?
Well, I don't want you to lose sight of what's important.
When we've finished with her...
you could be very valuable to me in a lot of ways.
I'd be delighted to be on your side in any little venture you had in mind.
Can I fix you something?
No, thanks.
Might be difficult for me to keep this stocked the way you like it.
I was at my bank earlier.
It seems my account is overdrawn.
Mm-hm.
Well, I'll be sending you more on a regular basis.
Hmm.
That percent really is important to you.
Yes, it is. I want you to keep that in mind.
I've laid down a hell of a lot of money. I don't have anything to show for it yet.
Would you like something on account?
Not tonight. There's some place else I have to be.
Really? What a pity.
You think a little romp with you would be worth what all this is costing me?
Well, you'll never know until you try, will you?
That is true.
Well, I've got to be going.
Where?
Surely not home to your wife, not from what I've seen.
Ha. Where I'm going is no concern of yours, dear.
I'll get you in touch with the lawyer soon.
Don't be a stranger.
[CHUCKLES]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Mr. Wendell, please.
April Stevens.
Jeremy, I'm sorry to bother you at home.
But I've moved.
And I thought you might like my new number.
[SIGHS]
[PHONE RINGS]
Neal. GORDON: It's me, J.R.
ED. never showed up.
But he did call me.
We reset the meeting for a.m. tomorrow.
I'll get over there as soon as we're through.
All right.
I'll get in early tomorrow morning.
How'd he sound?
Fine.
He apologized for missing me, said he was tied up tonight.
All right, I'll see you in the morning.
J.R. [CHUCKLES]: Well, Gordon.
You're in here early.
How'd it go?
Gordon?
Hey, how'd it go, bud?
Oh, my God.
[SLY SCREAMS]
J.R., I don't see how I can cover this one up.
The man was m*rder*d.
Harry, I'm not asking you to cover anything up. The man is dead.
He doesn't give a damn whether he was found in my office or an alley.
I can't have questions asked about him.
There's a lot more I gotta learn before I do anything.
Just look at the time. You know how seen people are gonna tile in here?
I want you to get rid of that body now.
I don't know.
Harry, I made you a rich man.
I have enough information on you to ruin your career. I don't wanna do that.
I like our relationship.
But you have got to get him out of my office.
All right, I'll do it.
I got a couple of men downstairs I can trust.
Don't waste any time.
This is a big one. JR.
I don't want you to forget it.
Have I ever forgotten you, Harry?
Feeling any better?
No.
Well, the police are here.
They're investigating.
They're gonna be moving the body soon.
You'll be happy to know...
that your uncle, Harry McSween, is on the case.
Here. Try this.
[COUGHING]
[SIGHS]
It was so awful.
Who could have done something like that?
- Well, you know I didn't do it. - Of course.
But why would anyone leave a body in your office?
Well, Sly...
I'm gonna tell you something. I don't know if I should, but...
- Well, I guess I can trust you. - course you can.
Harry told me that this is the third case of this kind this month.
Now the theory is:
OPEC is trying to discredit all the Texas oilmen...
who are speaking out against what they're doing to the oil industry.
Why I haven't read anything about it in the papers?
They're trying to keep it hush-hush. They don't wanna cause any panic.
And they certainly don't wanna give any publicity to these crazies.
If they did, it might spread.
Well, shouldn't the FBI be involved in the case?
They are.
And the CIA. But nobody else knows about this...
so I'm gonna need your help in keeping it quiet.
YOU can count on me.
Oh, I know that, Sly.
You know, you've been a great help to me in the past.
I guess I just haven't shown you the proper appreciation.
But believe me...
my thanks will show up in your paycheck...
each week from now on.
[CHUCKLES]
I'd do anything for you, J.R.. You know that.
[CHUCKLES] Of course I know it.
Now, it's very important that things appear normal around here.
So I'd like you to stay at your desk until about lunchtime...
then you can take the rest of the day off.
Here, I'll tell you what.
- Go buy yourself something pretty. - You don't have to do that.
No, that's just to help you get through what could be a pretty lucky day.
[SIGHS]
Where are you going?
I better be at my desk.
I think we ought to wait till Harry gives us the all clear.
You don't wanna see them take the body out, do you?
[SIGHS]
Well, I think I'll join you.
[CHUCKLES]
There you go.
Now, you just take it easy.
Everything's gonna be fine.
[INTERCOM BUZZES]
- Yes? WOMAN: Mr. Krebbs is here.
He would like to see you.
[SIGHS]
Ask him to come in.
[SIGHS]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Hi.
Hi. I stopped by Southfork to see you.
Miss Ellie told me you moved.
Yes, that's true.
I thought it might be more comfortable for you to go to the ranch...
if I wasn't there.
Get yourself a house.
- Turtle Creek. - Yes.
Nice area.
And this office? That what you need too?
Not much of an office for somebody as important as you.
It's fine for right now.
It's the future I'm interested in. That's why I came to talk to you.
All right.
[SIGHS]
First, I want you to know that I'm coming to grips...
with our getting a divorce.
Our marriage is over.
We tried and it didn't work.
It doesn't matter why anymore.
You still have a house in Dallas and this office, I'm glad about that.
The question I need to have answered is:
Where do you intend on spending your time until the baby is born?
And then afterward?
Washington?
Austin?
Uh... I don't think I can answer that question.
Sure you can.
I'm sure you have a picture in your mind of your future.
- I just wanna know where that is. - Ray.
I figure it's a fair question.
All right.
I've always loved Washington.
And now...
The more time I spend there, the more I realize how much I missed it.
There's a power there, a pulse.
It's where decisions are made.
A place where if a person wants to do some good...
he can if he's not afraid to take a chance.
Nobody ever accused you of being afraid of anything.
I will always have roots here in Dallas.
But if you have to have an answer now...
Washington will become my and the baby's home.
I see.
Well, thank you for giving me an honest answer.
I figure I owe you at least that much.
I guess you do.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[INTERCOM BUZZES]
Yes?
WOMAN: Senator Culver is holding on Line .
Hello, Dave. How are you?
Fine.
I'm just fine.
- Morning. - Morning.
- Feeling better? - Better? Huh?
Yeah, I don't know. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Pam in?
Yeah, she's been in all morning.
- She ask about me? - No.
- Like me to tell her you're here? - No. No.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Hi, Pam. How are you?
Fine. Jackie told me that you weren't feeling well.
Oh, yeah. Well, no.
- That was just temporary, I'm okay. - Good.
[SIGHS]
I hear you had lunch with Jordan Lee yesterday.
- That's right. - What'd you talk about?
The oil business.
Oh. Well, that's nice. I'm glad you had a good time.
You miserable little worm.
How could you possibly be my brother?
What did I do?
Nothing, that's what you always do.
But I'd hoped that you'd be man enough to tell me on your own...
about your deal with Jordan Lee.
Why can't you just admit that you blew all of the money?
Not to mention the million I gave you that you denied ever getting to Jordan.
Pam, listen.
Do you think that I don't have an explanation for that?
- If you do, I'd love to hear it. - Okay, look.
The only reason that I got into that deal with Jordan was because...
he's getting older...
you know, and I felt sorry for him.
Eleven-million-dollars sorry?
Well, look. I mean, the deeper I got into it...
the more I realized it was a bad deal, so I cut our losses.
My losses.
Yeah, but I sold to Marilee Stone for $ million.
Seven million dollars, plus the extra million I gave you...
comes to a grand total of $ million...
which I know you have somewhere and I want back.
I knew you were gonna feel this way...
and that's why I'm trying to get all of your money back.
How much is left, Cliff?
Well, listen, you know. I had to give that crook, Jack Ewing...
a half a million dollars on an option for his percent. Yeah.
And then I had that settlement with Jamie.
How much?
Another million.
You paid off your settlement with my money?
Hey, what am I supposed to do?
I've got pumping full-bore...
and I'm just breaking even.
You know, I mean, what could I do? Let he! take over my company?
So now I have actually...
six and a half million left.
- Son of. - Don't “son of“ me, Cliff.
Where is my money?
I'll tell you, for as bad as the deal for us with Jordan...
I've got one that looks great.
And I'm about to cash it out.
And you will probably have all of your money by the end of the week.
I don't believe a word you're saying, Cliff.
In the one chance in a million that you're telling the truth...
I'm gonna give you one week to get all my money back.
But if you don't, I promise you that I will never, ever back another deal of yours.
Pam.
That money is as good as in the bank.
Believe me.
Oh, who the hell is gonna give me that kind of money in a week?
I think I'm in trouble.
J.R.: All right, leave all that information with my secretary, will you?
Next.
Thanks. Shut the door.
- Yes, sir. - Let's see.
Green Beret, that's good.
Proficient in all weapons, hand-to-hand combat. Where'd you work last?
DNO, sir. I was one of the guards at the OPEC meetings.
Oh. Are you available to work around the clock? I might be looking for that.
If you can pay for it, I can do it.
Uh-huh.
Okay. Okay, I'll be in touch with you.
[INTERCOM BUZZES]
Ahem. Yeah?
SLY: There's someone on the line...
who wants to talk to you about Garrett Gordon.
All right, put him on.
- Hello? MAN: J.R.?
Congratulations on getting Gordon out of your office so clean.
You know, it just came over the news that they found his body in an alley?
Well, I thought we were gonna make a deal.
No deal.
R's gonna be fun. JR.
See, you obviously have powerful connections...
to take care of the body the way you did.
They're not gonna do you any more good...
than those muscle-heads you've been interviewing.
Did you bug my office?
[CALHOUN CHUCKLES OVER PHONE]
Sure did. It's right there under the center of your desk if you want it.
See, I can always get another one in anytime I want.
What are you after, Calhoun?
We“, don't sound so nervous, J.R.
If I wanted you dead, I would have k*lled you by now.
- Then what? - Death.
Death, J.R., is too simple for somebody like you.
I just want you to keep looking over your shoulder.
And one of these days... I'll be there.
[LINE CLICKS]
?
I just got the proof about that ruptured pipeline.
- Just like you said, it was sabotage. - Yeah, that's what I figured all along.
I better have a little meeting with Jeremy Wendell tomorrow.
If your suspicions are correct, he's the one behind it.
Well, I don't know what good that'd do. He'd just deny it.
At least he'd know we're looking in his direction.
Yeah, yeah, that's true. Listen now.
You got a minute, there are things I'd like to talk to you about.
Well, like what?
Did you hear about Garrett Gordon...
being found dead in an alley some place?
Yeah, I did. That's a terrible thing...
but he led a pretty dangerous life.
Look, I gotta get back and have dinner with Christopher.
He's expecting me and I don't wanna disappoint him.
Oh, yeah, I understand.
- Well, it can wait, can't it? - I suppose we could talk another time.
- Are you leaving now? - Soon.
Well, then I'll see you at home.
Ellie, I have a meeting tomorrow.
And I think that you should be there with me.
Well, that certainly sounds mysterious. What sort of a meeting?
A man by the name of Mancuso, I've asked him to fly into town.
He's the one that gave Parmalee that lie-detector test.
Oh, no, Clayton, I don't wanna dredge that all up again.
Ellie, I can't help it.
I'm not gonna rest until I find out...
how he convinced Mancuso that he was Jock Ewing.
But, Clayton, all that's important is that he's not Jock.
There's more to it than that.
I'm meeting Mancuso tomorrow.
Like I said, I'd like you to be there with me.
And it there's a logical way that he did b*at the test...
will you let it end?
I won't promise you...
but it might ease my mind a lot if I knew.
All right.
We'll meet him together.
And then I don't wanna talk about Wes Parmalee ever again.
[SIGHS]
Would you teach me how to lift weights, Daddy?
Sure, when you're old enough. Why?
Because John Ross teases me that I can't lift very much...
and I wanna show him.
Oh. Well, I see.
Pretty soon, you'll be getting old enough...
that I can teach you all kinds of things.
We'll go hunting together and fishing.
Are you really gonna teach me how to sh**t a g*n?
Well, there's a lot of things you have to learn before you sh**t a g*n.
I'll make sure you learn the right way.
I love you, Daddy.
BOBBY: Ahh. I love you too, partner.
You know...
it's real important that we never feel embarrassed to say that to one another.
I never will.
Neither will I.
You'll always be the most important thing in my life.
Now, you get to bed.
- Good night, Daddy. - Good night, partner.
[INTERCOM BUZZES]
WOMAN [OVER INTERCOM]: Mr. Morgan, Mr. Krebbs is here to see you.
PAUL: Send him in.
- Ray. - Paul
I was sorry to hear about you and Donna.
Well, that's just one of those things.
That's not what I came here to talk to you about.
And what is?
I guess maybe you know that Donna's heading up that oil lobby...
with the independents.
I read about it. Seems like it'd be a lot of work.
She likes it. It makes her happy.
There's a problem.
She's gonna be spending a lot of her time in Washington D.C.
So?
I guess maybe I didn't tell you.
Donna's pregnant.
[RAY SIGHS]
I wanna know what my rights are.
I don't think I follow you, Ray.
My child.
She can't just leave the state and take my child with her, can she?
- It's possible. - Well, how can that be?
A father must have some rights in a situation like this.
Ray, most of those decisions are at the discretion of the judge.
Now, if the baby hasn't been born by then...
it probably won't even be a pan of the final divorce hearing.
I want you to handle this, Paul.
I want you to start looking into it.
Find me a way to get some control.
Well, I can't promise anything...
but I will start digging into precedents.
Good.
There's no way I'm gonna let her just walk away with my child.
[DOOR CLOSES]
You are gonna have to forgive me, Mr. Mancuso, but I have got to be blunt.
Go ahead.
Despite the results of your polygraph test...
and the fact that you yourself said the man was Jock Ewing...
he admitted to my wife that he was not.
Now, do you have some explanation for all that?
I can't tell you how surprised I am.
I've never yet met a subject that could b*at the polygraph.
Unless the man was a pathological liar...
someone who couldn't tell the difference between the truth and a lie.
Is that possible?
It's a theory...
although his response to the rest of the questions I put to him...
would rule against it.
Then I suggest that you're an incompetent bungler...
who could have brought us great damage.
Now wait a minute.
Any expert in this field would be glad to testify...
as to my skill in the use of the polygraph.
Then give me a better answer.
At the moment, I can't.
Mr. Mancuso...
Wes Parmalee had total amnesia.
He told me that when he came to in the hospital, he thought he was Jock.
And for almost a year, he continued to believe that.
Couldn't that have some bearing on this?
It might be possible that with a little self-hypnosis...
when I asked the question...
he went back in his mind to a time when he did believe that he was Jock.
How the hell am I supposed to believe all this?
Do you have a better solution?
Clayton, that's enough.
You said this would and Wes Parmalee once and for all...
and that's what I want. I won't have any more of this.
Mr. Fallow. What your wife said about Parmalee...
that's the only explanation I can think of for what he did.
But why does it matter to you so much about Parmalee?
I made him a promise.
What would happen if he was a fraud.
And I keep my promises.
Well, we just have to face the fact that Mandy's lost to us.
So we better get busy on a new campaign.
Yes, and a new Valentine girl.
You know, I think we can make headlines with the search for this new girl.
It would make great media play.
So let's get started immediately.
- Sounds good. MAN: Mrs. Ewing?
Peter Duncan.
I met you and your husband...
at the Oil Baron's Ball a couple years ago just before I left Dallas.
I see.
Well, have you moved back to Dallas?
Well, that all depends how my plans work out.
I hope I'm not intruding.
I just wanted to stop by for a minute.
Well, that's quite all right.
- Would you care to join us? - No, thank you.
But maybe we'll run into each other again soon.
