Oh, God.
I came from the Justice Department.
The government is going after the Ewings with all their g*ns.
- How's about Barnes-Ewing? - You son of a...
A???“
I'm freezing my funds.
I can't go on financing your ventures it I'm not here to protect them.
I'm gonna be in town a few days. I'd love to see you.
Little girl, you're about to find out what power can do.
Wait a minute!
Clayton, what are you doing?
I'm leaving the company. It's over, J.R.
Well, he's not in at the moment...
but I'm sure I can get a message to him sometime today.
All right. Jackson. Uh-huh.
And does he have your number?
Okay.
Yes. Well, I'm sure that I will be speaking to him.
Yes. All right. Okay.
Thank you very much.
I'll give him what I have.
He wants to read these because he can't wait for the month-end tally?
- Go right in, Mr. Jennings. - Thank you.
- Phyllis, what is going on around here? - Just some stuff with Bobby.
I can see that, but he's got half the Accounting Department up here.
-He's been calling Legal all day. BOBBY: Come on.
I need an exact value of the company holdings...
and a complete statement of the outstanding indebtedness.
Don't bring me any more ledgers and summaries. You know what I need.
- Okay. As fast as I can get it to you. - Thank you.
- Phyllis? - Don't ask me, Sly, please.
I can't discuss Bobby's business with you...
and I wouldn't ask you about J.R.'s.
CLIFF: Jackie.
Come on. I don't mind an occasional typo.
I'm a reasonable man, huh?
- Am I a reasonable man? - Yes, Cliff.
I am a reasonable man.
I'll tell you, when you start messing with decimal points...
then you can start thinking about a home-study course in cosmetology.
- Cliff, I said I'd fix it. - Well, fix it.
Gotta do everything myself around here.
- Pam. - Pam.
- Hey, Pam. Hey. - Hey.
- Hi, Jackie. - Hi.
Oh, gully, it's good to see you. Come in here. Come on in. Oh.
Oh, boy.
I'm just gonna say it right out:
I missed you, and I'm glad to see...
that you finally came around to understand the way I feel.
- Well, that's why I'm here, but... - Hey, all in the past. All in the past.
- No apologies necessary. - I don't mean it that way, Cliff.
Hey, you know, this is a great time for us to get back together. Uh...
- You don't mean it what way? - I mean I'm not here to apologize.
I understand how you feel about Digger, and your hatred for the Ewings.
I've been giving it a lot of thought.
Well, that doesn't have to interfere with us.
But it does. It's your choice.
It's your own personal crusade, but I have a choice too.
And I choose not to be in the middle of it anymore.
| see.
I won't be coming into the office anymore.
At least not for a while. I want to let things cool down...
look at what's important to me, and that's Bobby and Christopher.
Yeah, I understand.
And...
from a business standpoint...
that means that I'll be pulling out of here too.
- I'm freezing my funds. - What?
I can't go on financing your ventures it I'm not here to protect them.
Look, no. I was just gonna say... Listen" No. Look, oil is up.
It's holding. Everybody knows that I have a piece of Ewing Oil.
They're standing in line to do business with me.
- I'm sorry, Cliff, I have to get out. - Oh, Pam, look, this is bad timing.
I understand about Christopher and Bobby, but I am family too.
You're still mad at me.
No, I'm not. I told you, I'm totally reconciled with all of that.
Look, this is your percent of Barnes-Wentworth.
Since I'm not gonna be financing your deals, I think you should have it back.
Pam... I've made up my mind, Cliff.
Look, you're going to be all light without me.
Like you said, oil is up and holding.
And there's always a deal around the comer.
For the time being, just count me out, okay?
Oh, Pam.

- Madam. - Hi. Remember me?
Oh, yes, madam. You were here recently.
- You were alone. - Yes, I was.
And you refused to seat me.
Well, that is the policy of this establishment...
not to seat single women.
But that policy has changed.
No, it has not changed, for exactly the same reasons...
that someone like yourself might understand.
Someone like myself.
And what might that be?
Eh... Please, in the future...
it you would patronize another establishment.
Wrong.
I beg your pardon?
Haven't you heard that this establishment has changed hands?
That it's been sold to some fabulously wealthy young woman?
Yes, I've heard.
But...
That's right, Einstein.
Now guess who doesn't work here anymore.
Right again. You win a pink slip.
And I hope you won't be hanging around.
I don't wanna give this place a bad name having single men loitering.
Uh... Don't run off. You will finish out working the rest of your hours.
And you can start by bringing someone like myself...
a kir royale.
No lemon twist.

Ray.
- Hey, Charlie. - We didn't expect you till later.
Well, I caught an earlier flight.
- How you doing? - Oh, I'm doing fine.
- Well? - “Well," what?
The baby. Tell us about the baby. Did you bring any pictures?
Well, I just happen to have a whole pocketful right here.
You named her Margaret?
Well, Donna named her.
After my mother.
She's beautiful.
Yeah, she's beautiful. You know, she grabbed my hand...
I'll show you. She grab my finger like this and squeezed so hard.
I didn't know a baby could squeeze so hard.
She's just wonderful.
CHARLIE: Oh, look. How cute. She's laughing.
Can a baby laugh?
RAY: Well, my baby can.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
Oh, I gotta go. Mamie's mom is taking us to a movie. See you.
Tell Mrs. Allen I said hi.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Congratulations, Daddy. - Thank you.
She sure is a beauty.
Just like that little baby of yours is gonna be a beauty.
I know. You know, Ray, I... When...
I was gonna make a special dinner with champagne and the whole works.
It looks like you're gonna have to settle for a cold beer.
That's not important.
Donna and I did a lot of talking while I was in Washington.
And...
that part of my life is behind me, Jenna.
Finally.
Donna feels the same way about this.
We both understand...
that there are new people in our lives.
Somebody that...
we could be happy with.
Jenna...
Hey, Bob.
Teresa said you wanna talk to me.
That's right, I do.
Well, sounds serious.
I've had it, J.R.
Had it with what?
I've had it with you.
And the intrigue and the schemes that you've always got going.
Year after year, one trouble after another until the family's choking on them.
Oh, come on. That's all behind us now.
I've had the staff put together a complete evaluation of Ewing Oil.
I'm leaving the company. I'll give you first sh*t at a buyout.
But, one way or the other, I'm still selling.
- Bobby. - It's over, J.R.
We're not talking about what color to paint the office.
We've had our difficulties in the past, sure.
We're talking about the company Daddy built...
that we're gonna hand down to our sons.
I think you should be aware that I'm not the only one that feels this way.
The whole family's been talking.
Once they find out I'm selling, I'm sure Mama and Ray...
and even Gary in California will do exactly the same thing.
I don't believe this.
Believe it.
What has become of this family?
A bunch of ungrateful whiners.
Now, what I do is not always right.
But I always try to do what's right for the family.
And sometimes you gotta get din under your fingernails.
Now, my daddy built an empire...
and I'm gonna do whatever I have to do to keep it.
It the rest of the family can't understand that, maybe it is time they get out.
Now, you just tell them, whoever's selling, J.R. is buying.

[OWL HOOTING]
PAMELA: Bobby?
[SIGHS]
You know, honey, it's incredible, the more I think about it.
It's been a long time coming.
I understand, though.
I guess you can't help feeling the finality of it all.
Oh, it's not that.
That's not what's getting me.
I'm angry with myself for putting up with all of J.R.'s garbage all this time.
I took it and took it, and now I can't understand why I ever did.
I thought I'd be mourning the loss of Ewing Oil, and now all I feel is relief.
Like a giant stone has been lifted from my shoulders.
Somehow that doesn't surprise me.
There is one thing I do regret.
You know how J.R. is always talking about...
handing Daddy's company on down to his son?
I wanted that, too, for our son.
Well, you're going to be handing down another company to your son.
The one you're going to build new.
I'm so proud of you.
I know how hard it's been.
And you've put your whole house in order, including J.R.
Maybe it's time I started sorting out some things too.
[LAUGHS]
You could've knocked me down with a feather.
All this time, I've been trying to get Ewing Oil for myself...
and there they are, just handing it to me on a silver platter.
What's that saying, “Everything happens for the best“?
Well, God bless America, it sure has. I'll tell you.
And I got my beautiful wife back.
[CHUCKLES]
A whole new Sue Ellen. Heh.
I must be doing something right, honey. Must be doing something right.
I think I'll make myself a little drink. You want a cup of coffee?
No, thank you, I'm fine. I have a big day tomorrow.
J.R.: Oh, of course.
All this talk about my business, I haven't asked about yours.
- How are things in the nightie trade? - No, it's all right.
We're doing our last big layout of Mandy Winger in the morning.
Oh, is that a fact?
Well, none of the other Valentine Girls caught on.
Y-you saw them.
Now, come on, Sue Ellen.
We both know that Mandy Winger is not just another model in our lives.
Yes, but you said it was over.
Well, if you doubt it, why'd you bring her back?
Because I don't wanna doubt anymore.
And besides, Valentine talked me into it.
You're welcome to come to the session.
No. No. Uh...
With my agreement with Bobby and everything, I gotta be at the office.
Would you be afraid to see Mandy again?
Sue Ellen...
I'm not afraid of ghosts.
And I have no interest in ancient history.
VALENTINE: Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord.
Didn't somebody go blind looking at something like that?
[CAMERA CLICKING]
That's beautiful. That's the one. Gorgeous.
Now tum a little this way. That's beautiful.
Lift the head a little bit. Lick your lips. Lick your lips.
Oh, nothing" Darling, darling. That is so beautiful.
Yes, a little more of that. More. Yes, yes.
Now come to me. Come to me. Just keep coming.
That's beautiful. Gorgeous, honey. All right, now.
The goddess of lingerie. Ha-ha-ha.
All right, honey. You just keep doing that. It's all gold.
It's gold.
This is fantastic.
I had no idea you had anything like this down here.
Lake Ray Hubbard is one of the largest man-made lakes in the world.
I should've guessed, being from Texas, you'd have the largest something.
When this campaign hits the streets, we're all gonna be trazillionaires.
Have you ever seen a girl with those kind of"?
-With that kind of a...? _I__
We understand.
Oswald, you did a very nice job of setting this whole thing up.
And it's very creative, and I love the contrast. The lingerie...
Well, a pat on the back is just fine, you know what I mean?
But how's about a little pat on the little old bank account?
Let's discuss a little bonus situation here.
After all, I did go out to Hollywood...
and single-handedly wrastle Mandy Winger back into the fold.
Hmm.
I'm sure I could never thank you enough.
Ah. The old hardy handshake and best wishes, huh?
Well, that's okay. I do what I do because I am an artist.
People would not believe...
the amount of thinking that goes into see-through nightgowns.
Probably not. Heh.
Ladies, lock up your husbands. Ooh!
[CHUCKLING]
You see its magic?
Now, take Oswald there.
He's representative of the average John . American Public.
Valentine?
Well, maybe not him, but the point is the same.
Now, Oswald has naked women running around him all daylong...
and he still has a buzz-on for Mandy Winger.
That is a very rare and profitable commodity.
We are going to make a potful of money on this picture.
SUE ELLEN: That's always good news to hear.
BRUCE: I've even got better news.
I've got options on Mandy for some more pictures.
I also have a couple of scripts. Now, they're nothing special.
Just the usual potboiler, detective-psycho-k*ller type things.
But they could be special...
if the psyche was to stalk Mandy Winger in the hot tub.
I know, I know. You don't wanna make films like this.
You've said that often.
We will make Gone With the Wind, but further down the line.
Now, although I am asking you for money...
I'm not really asking you for any money.
I'll go all the first up-front expenses.
All I want from you...
is to roll over the money from the first film to the second one.
After that, it you wanna be an artiste, well, we can certainly talk about that.
Mr. Harvey...
Please, Bruce. If we're gonna be partners.
Yes, right. I'd like you to do something for me.
Your wish is my desire.
I'd like you to take Mandy to lunch at the Four Oaks.
I want her to meet you there at : .
That's easy.
Hmm. But I'd like you to be late.
I don't want you to show up before : .
I don't understand.
I have my reasons.
And we'll discuss financing before you go back to Hollywood, I promise.
Will you do that for me?
I will do that...
and anything else you would like.
VALENTINE: Bruce! Bruce!
Bruce, come over here a minute, will you? Whoo-hoo.
-Oh, God. VALENTINE: Bruce!
Excuse me.
Hello, Jenna.
May I come in?
Did you come to borrow a cup of sugar?
No.
Actually, it's a little difficult to put into words.
A let's been going on in the Ewing household lately.
Oh. Isn't there always?
Jenna, we can't go on pretending that the other one doesn't exist.
I'd like to break the ice.
We can't just smoke a peace pipe and be pals.
There's been too much history, Pam.
Maybe there has, but we're going to be moving in some of the same circles now.
We'll even probably be seeing each other at Southfork.
Jenna, I'm trying to adjust to the fact that you're going to have Bobby's baby.
Oh, really?
We're going to be living in the same world, and we'd better get used to it.
This situation was forced on me.
And it was forced on me by you, Pam.
But once it was, all I asked was to be left alone.
The Ewings have been all over this baby.
- You and your checkbook... - That's not how I meant it.
Bobby fighting with Ray.
Miss Ellie talking about her grandchild, which this child will never be.
I don't have any adjustments to make, Pam.
I'm gonna go do what I've been doing...
and that is live my life without any interference from anyone.
I appreciate that you came.
But that's how I feel.
You know, Jenna. It's just not that simple.
I don't believe that you didn't feel something...
when Ray was in Washington with Donna and their baby.
Don't tell me you haven't thought about how Ray's going to feel...
when he's raising Bobby's child.
There's a new time coming, Jenna.
For all of us.
- Jeremy. - Brian.
[LAUGHS]
Thanks for staying late, Sarah. You can go home now.
I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but that telephone won't stop.
Not at all. Hope I didn't keep you too late.
What brings you all the way to Washington?
Your phone call sounded urgent.
I'm afraid it is.
I have some information about one of my fellow oilmen.
Some very regrettable information, I'm afraid.
And as much as it pains me to do so, I think it's my duty to bring it forward.
I can tell you that Justice is gonna have to move like lightning on it.
Well, if it brings you have personally, I guess it's no small matter.
When you see the material I brought, you can decide for yourself.
You've heard of a company named Ewing Oil?
Well, I will see you all this afternoon, okay?
Accounting should have all the figures drawn up by then.
Harv's taking care of the paperwork.
- Big day. - See you then.
I'll be right behind you, Bob.
Mama?
[CAR DOOR CLOSES, ENGINE STARTS]
I'm sorry the way this all happened.
I guess I've always wanted the company.
But...
what I'm trying to say is...
I'm sorry for the reasons you all are selling out to me.
Things just got away from me. I don't know.
JR.
I gave birth to you, and I nursed you...
and sometimes I spanked you.
And I tried to change you a thousand times.
But you've always been what you are:
My first baby.
And I love you.
Despite everything.
And, you know, this breakup of the company...
I think it's really gonna be for the best.
In fact, I think it should have happened a long time ago.
Well...
I'll see you this afternoon.
You seem awfully at ease with all this.
[ENGINE STARTS]
Yes, I guess I am.
As momentous as it all is...
I feel very good.
Oh, Clayton.
Can it be that, finally...?
That, finally. After all the dust has settled...
everything will fall into place...
and things will be right in this family?
I think they will.
I think they will.
I hope so, Ellie.
For your sake.
I really do.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- Pardon me. - Good afternoon, sir.
My wife made a reservation for lunch. J.R. Ewing, about : .
Oh. Mr. Ewing. Oh, yes. There was a message here for you.
Your wife called to say she was going to be detained.
She'd have to cancel for today.
Oh, dam it all. Well, there must be some reason, I suppose.
- Thank you. - Thank you, sir.
- Hello, Mandy. - J.R.
- I heard you were in town. - Yeah, well, I just got in, really.
I had a luncheon engagement here, but it got canceled at the last minute.
- Oh, well, sit down. - No, I don't wanna intrude.
I know you're probably meeting somebody.
No, no. I'm just waiting for my producer. Please sit down.
You look wonderful.
Thank you. So do you.
Well, you're a big star now.
I keep hearing all about it.
I don't know about that.
A lot of people are saying a lot of nice things.
Well, that's great.
Yeah.
Is Hollywood everything people say it is?
Oh, boy. It sure is different.
Things still hectic in the oil business?
Oh, yeah, you can say that again.
Nothing for me, thanks. Would you like something?
No, no. I have my wine already. Thank you.
Well, you asked about the oil business...
I got a whole lot of things waiting for me back at the office, so...
Yeah, I know.
- Been great seeing you, Mandy. - You too, J.R.
I wish you all the best out there, honey.
I hope all your dreams come true.
Couldn't happen to a more wonderful person.
Thank you, J.R. I wish you a lot of luck too.
I'm gonna be in town a few days. I'd love to see you again.
Just relax.
Talk.
Maybe we will.
-Thank you. PHYLLIS: Delicious.
- Thank you, Bobby. This was a treat. - Can we get you anything?
Brandy? - No, thank you.
- Just coffee for me, thank you. - I'll send the waiter right over.
This was lovely, really.
[SIGHS]
Phyllis, I wanted to have this time with you because I think it's only fair...
that you know what's going on with Ewing Oil.
Well, I knew we weren't here for fun.
The company's being dissolved.
It's all very complicated, and it's gonna take some time...
but that's it.
We're gonna have a partners' meeting at : in the office today.
Mama will be there, J.R.. Ray and myself.
We're gonna iron out some details...
but, basically. That's the way it's gonna be.
Well, I knew. With all that was going on...
Phyllis, I want you to know that you have been a very valuable...
and loyal asset to me for many years.
And when I leave, I want you to come with me...
as an executive assistant, okay?
Yeah.
[SOBBING]
- I'm sorry. - It's all right.
Isn't this dumb?
After all, you'd think it was my company.
I'm just a secretary.
Executive assistant.
But the idea of the company breaking up...
and me crying like a baby...
Isn't this the silliest thing?
Excuse me. The ladies' room.
[SIGHS]
[DRILLING]
[DOORBELL RINGS]
[MOANS]
Don't get up.
Oh, but" No, no. You know what I mean.
I do know what you mean. Never fear.
What brings you all this way, Cliff?
Last time we spoke, you were not your sweet old self.
Well, I'll tell you, that's a pan of it.
You know. I felt bad about our fighting.
- You want something. - No, no, I don't. I just...
Would you like some privacy, Miss Stevens?
I think it's a little late for that.
But why don't you rest your fingers for an exciting finish?
CLIFF: What's going on next door?
I bought the building.
I'm knocking down some walls to expand my apartment.
Why didn't you just move?
I like it here.
Oh, sure. It's good. Uh-huh.
Uh... Listen.
There's no reason that we should be enemies.
[LAUGHING]
Mm.
And they say that money can't buy love.
Do you know that I have a desk full of invitations...
from people that wouldn't even let me in the back door two weeks ago?
Wait a minute. That's not me.
Because when you were broke, I was right there for you.
As a matter of fact, you told me that of all the men in Dallas...
I was the most sensitive.
That's you, sweet face.
Mm-hm. What's more important is...
that I have a good business brain and expertise...
that you can put no price tag on.
[SIGHS]
I had a talk with my sister.
And she's got a lot of family problems, you know?
And I asked her to leave my company.
You sent Pam packing with all her financing?
Yeah. But, you see. I just didn't wanna hurt her feelings.
Now, there are things more important than money...
and I just felt it was best.
But I'll tell you, see, what that means to you is, with Pam out of the way...
it opens up a whole world of possibilities.
Because, face it, what are you gonna do with all that dough?
[RINGS BELL]
Cliff, I've got so much money.
Why in the world would I wanna go into the oil business?
No. You need good investments.
You can't just let that money sit there with bank interest.
You need it to be working for you.
[CLEARS THROAT]
-Press on, Preston. PRESTON: Yes, ma'am.
Oh.
- Well, I'll be seeing you. - Right.
- Cliff? - Yeah?
I'll think about it.
Ah.
Press on, Preston.
MAN: You've all agreed to sell your shares of Ewing Oil.
JR. has agreed to buy them.
I've been working on the final papers...
but that copy before you is merely an agreement in principle.
It's impossible to complete the final sale...
until all the assets of the company have been tallied.
For the record, you understand this is gonna take approximately one month?
Yeah, I understand.
That's fine with me, Harv.
I know we're all anxious to get this done.
But we are talking about over a billion and a half dollars of financing...
and it's gonna take me every part of that month to raise the money.
I would imagine.
This is an amicable settlement, which makes my job easy.
It's essentially a family matter.
You've been in touch with Gary in California?
I have his power of attorney.
He's agreeable to the sale on any terms I approve.
- Let the record show I have the power. - Yes, sir.
Now, the next step is almost jurally routine.
All you have to do is sign that paper...
remembering that it's not the final sale...
but rather an agreement to sell. J.R., your agreement to buy.
[SCRIBBLING]
Well, well. Now, what do we got going on here?
A partners' meeting? Huh?
How come all the partners weren't invited?
What are you doing here? This is Ewing business.
No. Uh-uh. No. This is Ewing Oil business.
You see, my secretary, Jackie. Bumped into Phyllis after lunch...
and what do I find out? I find out that you are parceling out my company.
Well, I think you just better get the hell out of here, Barnes.
Wait a minute. I'm glad your attorney's here.
I might not own a lion's share of this company...
but my percent counts for something, doesn't it, J.R.?
You know what you can do with your percent?
Yeah, I know. I've known for as long as I've been after a piece of this company.
Any piece of this company. It's down to between you and me.
See, and I plan to play as active part in this organization...
as my lawyers can force you to let me. Mm-hm.
Are you taking minutes? Take this down.
This is a suggested first order of business.
I think it can't be called just Ewing Oil anymore.
No, I think it should be called Ewing-Barnes. Hmm. Hmm?
Ha. Oh, no. I got an idea. How about Barnes-Ewing?
-You son of a... BOBBY: J.R.!
Oh, my word. Hey, give me that. Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
You know, Barnes-Ewing...
[CHUCKLING] I like the way that sounds.
No, we're going to have to postpone our trip.
There's just too much to do. Legal business always takes forever.
There are so many papers to sign and so on.
So we really have to stay here.
Well, that's too bad, but once it's finally finished...
It's all to the good.
When it's all over, there'll be no more fights, no more arguments.
This family's gonna be on a much healthier footing from now on.
Till something else pops up.
We'll have that trip.
I'm gonna get Barnes' percent back if it's the last thing I do.
- I'm really not interested. - He's gonna give up his shares...
once he finds out that somebody's trying to torpedo his Barnes-Wentworth.
Now, I'm just telling you this in advance because, when the time comes...
somebody very dear to you is gonna catch a lot of flak.
- You knew this when you married her. - I'm tired of this subject.
There are a couple people in the company I'd like you to keep in place...
and just a couple of other favors...
J.R.: I wanna make this transition just as easy for you as me and everybody else.
[PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
Hello, April.
Well, Jeremy.
Congratulations. You're a girl that moves fast.
Thank you.
Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment.
While you're patting yourself on the back...
and considering what a smart girl you are...
and how grand life can be...
I didn't want you to think I'd forgotten you.
Jeremy, just because you got outflanked once in your life...
Let me buy you a drink...
and we'll bury the hatchet. What do you say?
[MUSIC ENDS, CROWD APPLAUDS]
I'll tell you what I say.
If you and J.R. had simply outmaneuvered me...
in some business proposition...
I think I might have been able to accept that.
But that's not what happened.
You very specifically invited me to your apartment...
to make a feel out of me.
And that, I'm going to remember.
Have that drink with me. It's all in the past. Heh.
And, Jeremy. How can you really hurt me?
I'm rich.
I'm beyond your reach new.
Beyond my reach?
Little girl, you're about to find out what real power can do.
This is a nice place. Enjoy it while you can.
Jeremy, please.
Let's suppose I have been a wee bit naughty.
Isn't there some little favor I can do for you to make it right?
You certainly place a ridiculously high value on your favors.
I didn't mean that kind of favor.
I've learned a lot from you people in Dallas.
I've learned that it's always a plus...
for a girl like me to keep a bargaining chip or two tucked away.
Now, you want my head on a platter. You've made that very plain.
But suppose I can offer you another head in place of my own.
Whose head did you have in mind?
Cliff Barnes.
Why would I ever want Cliff Barnes?
Oh, I don't know.
For openers, he owns percent of Ewing Oil.
Pretty soon, percent of Ewing Oil on a dollar will get you a cup of coffee.
On the other hand...
your attitude is not entirely out of line.
[DRAWER OPENS, CLOSES]
Sorry about missing lunch today. I just got held up with the buyers.
That's all right.
I had a quick drink at the bar and then went back to the office.
- We'll do it again. - You wanna try for tomorrow?
No, I can't tomorrow.
As a matter of fact, the next few days are gonna be kind of tough.
Oh?
Yeah, you know, what with the sale of the company and all that.
I'm gonna have to be spending a lot more time in town for a while.
| see.
DONNA: Did you go poo-poo in your britches again? Ooh.
You've been a busy little girl.
Oh. Phooey.
Stinky poo. Yeah. Ooh.
Don't smell like Texas roses today. No.
Did I hurt your feelings?
Well, let me tell you what.
Yeah, my mama and my grandmama always said that...
that was a sign of a thriving little kid.
And if that's the case, sweetie...
you gotta be the healthiest little kid on the block. Yeah.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Yes?
Senator Dowling's here, ma'am. He said it's important he speak with you.
- Tell him to come in. - Yes, ma'am.
Ready to go again.
Don't be in a hurry.
Donna?
- You can see I got my hands full. - Yeah.
Look, something's come up, and I want you to hear it from me.
I just came from the Justice Department, and the government is hard...
and I mean hard, after the Ewings over their involvement with ED. Calhoun.
That was just self-defense and kidnapping. I'm...
No, there's a lot more than that.
They're talking international terrorism, subversion, even m*rder.
JR. definitely, Bobby maybe...
and even Ray could be looking at a jail sentence over this.
Come on, you met Ray. I mean, J.R...
- Not even those charges. I... - I just had my first briefing.
The whole thing is very hush-hush. There's CIA involvement.
Donna, this could be a nightmare, even if only part of this is true.
- It has to be a mistake. - No, there's no mistake.
The government is going after the Ewings with all their g*ns.
[BABY COOING]
You do with this what you have to.
I just wanted you to hear it from me.
It could get rough, and I don't want this to get between us.
Teresa? This is Mrs. Krebbs. I'd like to speak to Miss Ellie, please.
I don't think I should hear this.
I don't think I should be here.
I could well be on the investigating committee.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Come in.
Mrs. Fallow, Mrs. Krebbs is on the phone for you.
Oh, fine. Good. Thank you, Teresa.
- Who's that? - Donna.
- She's on the phone from Washington. - Oh. Give her my love.
Donna? How are you?
And how's that little baby?
What?
The Justice Department?
Ellie?
[TEARFULLY] Oh, no.
Oh, God.
[SOBBING]
What's going on?
Donna, what is it? What's going...? What's the matter?
Oh, no.
[ELLIE CONTINUES SOBBING]
All right, Donna.
Thank you for calling.
J.R.!
- Hey, Clayton. - You bastard.
- What? - You're poison!
[J.R. GRUNTS]
Just being with you stinks up our lives, and it doesn't end.
J.R.: Wait a minute! - Hey.
SUE ELLEN: J.R., what's going on? - Clayton, what are you doing?
Your mother's in there crying her heart out.
Every day dying a little more because of you.
-I swear to God, I'll k*ll you. PAMELA: Oh! Oh!
BOBBY: Clayton!
J.R.: Clayton! Oh, my God.
Clayton!
He's not breathing.
