06x08 - Tomorrow Never Knows

[bunniefuu]

Hello.

Lotus Point no longer

has a water problem.

This is a terrific bonus.

The bonus is yet to come.

Oh.

[Mitch] Mrs. Ewing called.

-She was becoming alarmed. -I can't.

-[Scott] I see. -Mitch...

It should be happening very soon now. Very soon.

Turn everything out in the open.

No pulled punches, no holds barred.

It's just a little crazy around here, right?

Fine. We'll go up the coast for a couple of days.

-[Mitch] That's right, Val. -[Val] Argh.

Argh. Argh.

[theme music playing]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[instrumental music]

[panting]

[Lilimae] Valene?

-Is something wrong? -No, mama.

Well, you got up from the table on such a rush, I thought...

No, I-I'm fine, mama.

I just, um, felt a little nauseous again,

that's all.

You go back downstairs.

I'll be right back down in a minute. [sighs]

I'm okay.

Go on, I'll be right there.

I'm fine.

[sighs]

[faucet running]

[keyboard keys clacking]

Always put it on the desk. Thanks.

Ben, what happened between you and my sister?

Ask her.

Well, you- you were in love with her.

Is that the reason that you're not together?

I... I don't understand.

You're right. You don't understand.

Why didn't you marry Val?

[inhales]

Joshua, I don't think that's any of your business.

[keyboard keys clacking]

How could you just walk away from her,

especially when she's carrying your babies?

I am not telling you anything, except maybe the fact

that you should be asking Valene these questions and not me.

[melancholy music]

[Gary] We're very impressed with your presentation.

But you're, uh... you're not interested.

Not at this time. No.

We think we can meet Lotus Point's water needs

with more conventional methods.

[scoffs] You aren't counting on Scott Easton, are you?

Well, he's getting very close to negotiating

additional reserves through another source.

-What source? -Paul Galveston.

That's absurd.

He owns a huge amount of acreage

surrounding Lotus Point.

Hell, he owns nearly half the state.

Well, most of his land is undeveloped.

He doesn't need a third of the water he's allowed.

We think we can make a deal with him.

-[paper rustling] -[sighs]

Maybe we can work with you in the future.

Well, for what it's worth,

no one works with Paul Galveston on anything.

You only work for him.

Unless, of course, you've got something on him.

I've heard of people who've tried that.

They usually aren't heard from again.

-[phone ringing] -Hm.

The only coverage we have of the Loder sh**ting

is after the fact.

That's all right, thanks.

What is this with you and Loder, anyhow?

Well, as soon as I get something,

you'll be the first to know.

I'll make that the second. You're a lot prettier.

Oh, I should have known.

You guys are a little something going.

Is that it? You're involved, huh?

Because if you're not, I'd...

Thanks, Mack.

[smooches]

You snake.

[grunts]

What did you tell Joshua?

What?

Hi, Val.

Because if he knows you're not the father...

-I didn't tell him anything. -...then he's not

gonna stop looking until he finds out...

-Wait, back off! What's this? -...who is.

...you coming here accusing me?

[Valene] I'm not accusing you fooling around. I want to know--

Now, you're made for each other, you know that?

[Mack] But all you do is argue about something

that can't be changed.

Karen wants to talk, but needs time.

You need to talk and have no time

before those babies come.

What is it with you two, huh?

You're really a pathetic bunch, you know that?

[both sigh]

Guy needs to learn to let off a little steam

every now and then, you know?

I'm sorry. What... You were explaining to me

that I have a moral obligation to lie for you.

No, I don't. It is, uh...

[sighs]

Maybe you could just do it for me as a favor.

Say, please.

Please.

You got it.

Thank you.

[Greg] Vicious tax on big business, see?

And then you force them to clean up their own mess.

And I think that that's extremely important.

But what do you mean, if?

[Laura] If I take the job,

what am I going to Washington as?

Oh, you'll be going to Washington as an astronaut.

No, come on, I'm serious. Am I going as your mistress?

Am I going as your secretary

or an assistant in charge of what, other than you?

What do you wanna be when you grow up?

I just wanna make sure

that you've got a job I'm qualified for.

I don't... I don't wanna feel like you're inventing something

-...just to keep me around. -We don't have to decide it now.

Well, I'd like to decide it before you go to Washington.

I'm just going to Washington to find office space

and a place to live.

Look, I don't want to uproot my family

and-and leave everything I have here behind me

and not know what I'm walking into.

I'd like to... I'd like to use the time

while you're away to think about it, okay?

Alright, we'll figure it out before I go.

Okay.

[Mack] Ben and Val, what a mess.

Karen, I knew she was trouble

the first time she walked through that door.

So, what'd you do? Huh, Mack?

You fall for her all the way.

Should've taken French in school, Cul-de-Sac, dead end.

I should have known. Everyone in is a basket case.

Diana. God, Diana. Chip, Laura, Abby.

Why do I have to be Val's Lamaze coach?

Why didn't she get one of the guys

that mixed her up to be a coach?

Don't you ever say no, huh, Mack?

For God's sakes, to any of them?

Well, I've had it. To hell with them.

I'm getting the hell out of all their lives.

Her life, all their lives.

Once and for all.

Man!

Ah.

[suspenseful music]

[groans]

[breathes deeply]

[groans]

-Are you okay? -Oh, I, uh...

Uh, fine. These baggage are so...

[gasps] Uh...

Is there a pay phone anywhere nearby here?

-Right around the corner. -Thank you very much.

[instrumental music]

[sighs]

-[phone rings] -[Mitch] Excuse me.

Yes, Betty?

Certainly.

Mrs. Ewing, what can I do for you?

Uh, doctor?

Uh, the cramping has just... It's not stopped.

Well, have you been taking those pills I gave you?

Yeah, but doesn't seem to do any good.

[Mitch] How many have you used?

Uh, I don't know.

Uh, four, maybe, or, uh, five.

Well, they're very mild pills.

It takes a while before they have any effect.

But, uh, I assure you

there's absolutely nothing to be alarmed about.

-Are you sure? -[Mitch] Oh, yes, I am.

And if the pills haven't helped end of the week, you call me.

Another type of medication may be more effective.

Okay, doctor, I'll, uh, I'll let you know.

Bye-bye.

[dramatic music playing]

Betty, would you get Scott Easton for me, please?

[Abigail] Quite an ambitious agenda.

A reflection of my employer.

Mm-hmm.

Any questions?

Just how long are you gonna be in Washington?

Oh, just two or three days this trip.

I've laid most of the groundwork over the phone.

You know, we finally had that meeting with Alex Leslie.

And he seems to think your efforts

with Paul Galveston are a waste of time.

[chuckles] What do you expect him to say?

He wants your business.

He's not the first one that's warned me against Galveston now.

[Abby] Now, it's not that I don't have faith in you,

but what makes you think that you're going to succeed

where others have failed?

I'm the best, Mrs. Ewing.

I only promise what I can deliver.

[phone ringing]

Yeah?

Oh, he's right here.

Just a second. It's for you.

Why don't you take it there?

Thank you.

Scott Easton.

Scott.

Mrs. Ewing called. She was becoming alarmed.

I assured her there was nothing to worry about.

I see.

It should be happening very soon now. Very soon.

Thank you for keeping me posted.

Is, uh, everything else in place?

All the arrangements have been made.

If for some reason she should become a problem,

you can reach me at the Washington Alameda.

Bye.

Problems?

On the contrary.

An added bonus should be coming your way

in the next couple of days.

A bonus?

[Scott] It's something you've wanted.

Let's just say that it's my way of saying thank you

for bringing me aboard.

[suspenseful music]

[keyboard playing]

[upbeat music playing]

You talk as if you never made love.

I'm sorry.

I'm not.

It never should have happened.

It felt right for both of us, Joshua.

It was a mistake.

It was a pretty enthusiastic mistake.

What we did, we did out of weakness, Cathy.

Do you really believe that,

or is that just something you were told to believe?

[sighs] I don't understand you.

I don't know what to say to you anymore.

[sighs]

I can't tell you how to run your life.

But if you wanna see me, great.

If you don't, there's not a whole lot I can do about it.

[upbeat music continues]

[sighs]

Josh?

Your father was wrong about Lilimae,

and you found that out for yourself.

Now, don't you think he could be wrong about other things, too?

[engine rumbling]

[saw whirring]

Well, these are wonderful suggestions, Tony.

I know how much the architects hate to make changes.

Well, depends on how you ask them.

I'll run them by Gary.

-When do you need to know? -Yesterday.

Mm. I'll get back to you.

[Mack] Karen.

Mack.

What were you trying to tell me?

What?

What were you trying to say out on the beach?

You said I could have more time.

I'd take it back.

You'd take it back?

Well, we can't talk about it now.

Yeah, when? I'm tired of all the excuses.

I'm running around feeling guilty for all that's happened.

Then you build up my hopes, and you don't follow through.

Am I supposed to feel grateful, huh?

Or is it maybe, just maybe if I'm a good boy,

you let me back into your life.

Well, I've had it.

Either we get together or we don't,

but we're gonna make the decision now.

Karen, Gary needs to see you right away.

Tell him she's busy.

[machine whirring]

That's it, Karen. Everything out in the open.

No pulled punches, no holds barred.

No, Mack, it's just-- look, it's just a little crazy

-around here right now. -Fine.

We'll go up the coast for a couple of days.

-No, I'm sorry, that's not-- -Well, forget this.

Okay.

I'll pick you up tomorrow.

Okay.

Who-who's this man, Henley,

that-that your father's writing about?

Ask him. It's okay.

[Kathrun] Henley was a tinkerer, Joshua.

A turn-of-the-century inventor of sorts.

A scientist?

I-I thought you said your sermon was about morality.

Henley wrote a book, a massive volume.

"Henley's 20th century book of formulas,

processes and, uh, trade secrets."

As a child, I marveled at Henley's accomplishment.

The extraordinary range of knowledge he categorized.

The simplicity of it all.

When I joined the ministry,

I longed for the very same type of precision

in our work.

In the issues of morality.

But morality, by its very nature,

defies absolutes.

Sin is an absolute.

We know what is right and what is wrong.

We recognize the need to overcome our mortal weakness.

God doesn't despise us when we sin.

He only asks that we attempt to resist it.

[Kathrun] Joshua, it's true we recognize the need

to overcome mortal weakness.

But we also recognize the need to follow one's heart.

I hope this job of Joshua's is a good idea.

Mama, I told you, it wasn't.

Huh?

What are you talking about?

Well... [sighs]

He came home so upset last night.

It had nothing to do with work.

Well, what then?

-Romance? -I don't know.

I-I don't know, mama, I'm not sure.

[door bell ringing]

[Lilimae] Oh, shall I go?

No, I'll get it.

[sighs]

[knocking on door]

[Valene gasps]

-Hi. First day on the job. -[giggles]

Are you Mrs. Ewing?

-Yes, I am. -Then, these are for you.

-Ah. [chuckles] -[Lilimae] Who is it, Valene?

Uh, it's just some clown, mama.

What?

Never mind, it's for me.

-Here you go. -Ah, thank you.

And you have a nice evening now.

-Okay, thank you. You too. -Bye-bye.

-Bye-bye. Ah. -[footsteps thumping]

[chuckles]

[instrumental music]

[sighs]

Mama.

Ooh!

What's all that about?

Flowers from Ben.

-Aww. -[giggles]

-Beautiful? Mama, stop that. -Mm.

-Ooh. Mm. -It's for me.

-[Michael] Is it okay? -[Karen] Is what okay?

If I have some friends over while you're going.

Oh, yeah, yeah, that's okay.

Well, Eric sort of invited some, too.

Just don't burn the house down.

What time's Mack picking you up?

[sighs] Early.

Don't blow it, mom.

I just want you two to get back together.

Yeah, somewhere together.

[sighs]

Whatever he needs to hear, just tell him.

Whatever he wants, just-just give it to him.

[groans] Hey, it's more complicated than that.

[sighs] Well, un-complicate it then.

-That's what this weekend's for. -Hey!

You're sounding awfully bossy.

[sighs] Only when I need to be.

[sighs] Look, uh, don't get your hopes up, okay?

Mom, you told T.J. to stop the divorce.

I just told him to put it on hold.

Mom, you love each other.

[Karen] Sometimes it's not enough.

Look, hon-honey, I know how much Mack means to you,

but this trip is just the first step.

We just agreed to talk, that's all.

I want you to prepare yourself for the possibility

that we might not be able to work it out.

[sighs] You will.

And I thought your sister was the stubborn one.

[bird chirping]

-Here we go. Mama. -Mm.

Aren't you having any?

Oh, I was up early, Mama, and I already ate.

-Oh, Valene. -I did.

Oh, Cathy called last night while you were out.

-Did you see my note? -Yeah.

Oh. She's such a nice girl, Joshua.

Yes, she is.

I was thinking of going to see her perform tonight.

You wanna come?

Oh, I'm sure she attracts a young crowd.

I don't think I'd fit in.

[chuckles] You'll be there with me.

Well, alright.

I'd like to.

Val, you'll go with us, too, won't you?

-Um... -Oh, come on.

Well, I don't know, mama. It's just so smoky there,

and, uh, I'd be so uncomfortable now.

I... You-you don't mind if I pass.

-Do you, Joshua? -No.

I just think that I'll-I'll stick around here tonight.

[Karen] Oh, it's so beautiful here.

I'm glad we came.

[Mack] Oh, me too.

[seagulls cawing]

So? I'm waiting, Karen.

[waves crashing]

I know you think I was unfair, alright? Oh, wait a minute.

I know you think

that I- I've been trying to punish you somehow.

Isn't that what this is all about?

No.

Well, well... maybe a little at first.

At first? At first? What the hell is at first?

When you turn me off for a couple of months,

then you file for a divorce, you don't want to divorce.

What you really want...

is to get back together.

I didn't...

I couldn't deal with how you handled Wolfbridge.

-That's all. You lied to me. -I tried to explain to you.

-And I- I just-- -You knew how it was going...

Wait a minute. Let me finish my point.

-Well... -I was... Okay, you go ahead.

-No, I-I was just... No. -I was angry. You go ahead.

-Alright. -Alright, look.

Go ahead.

[soft music playing]

I know you were protecting me.

I couldn't accept that then.

But I do now.

There are times when protecting someone you love from the truth

is the best choice, the only choice.

What? You're protecting me?

[chuckles]

[sighs]

You kid. From what?

Me.

I know how important your work is to you.

I know that if you could be true to yourself

and true to that work that

sometimes there's going to be some danger.

And you're not going to run from it.

That's what makes you so good at what you do.

I don't want to take that away from you.

That's what would have happened if...

if we got back together again.

Karen.

[chuckles]

[soft music continues]

[soft music playing]

[phone ringing]

Hey? Is somebody's gonna pick this up?

-Ben Gibson's. -Uh, yes, is he there?

Wha--

He-he's not in the office at the moment.

Oh, well, then, could you take a message?

Uh, sure.

-This is Valene Ewing. -Yeah, I know.

Oh.

Just tell him, uh...

thanks for the flowers, and, uh, if he's free tonight,

I-I'd love him to stop by for dinner, if he could make it.

Got it. Uh, flowers, uh, dinner tonight.

Yeah.

You'll be sure he gets the message?

Um, yeah, yeah, I'll give him the message, alright.

[Valene] Thank you.

[instrumental music playing]

[Gregory] I have a very good chance

of landing a seat

on the Senate committee of land management.

If that happens,

I want you to be my chief assistant.

What exactly does the chief assistant do?

Basically, all the things you've been doing

all along here.

Playing around with real estate.

Only in this case, real estate belongs to the public trust.

You're qualified. I think you'd be great at it.

I'll think it over.

I'm gonna miss this flight.

-Jeffrey. -[Jeffrey] Sir?

It's taking me 20 years to make this flight to Washington.

What do you say? Step on it, huh?

[Jeffrey] Yes, sir.

-Well? -Well, what?

What do you say?

I-I already told you.

I want an answer now.

[mellow music playing]

Jeffrey, pull over.

Oh, come on. This is ridiculous.

I'll call ahead and they'll hold the plane.

They can't do that. It's a public airline.

Well, then I'll buy the plane, then they'll hold it.

What do you say?

[sighs]

Yes. Okay. Okay, I'll take the job.

-[scoffs] -Let's go, Jeffrey.

What do you say, pal, huh?

[mellow music continues]

So how do you like this tie?

-I like that tie. -Pink on pink?

And salmon on salmon.

I called the kids when you were in the shower.

They wanted to know how things were going.

Well, how's it going?

We're gonna be late.

Karen...

forget dinner.

Mack...

I don't know. [sighs]

I guess I thought that...

when we got back together again, it'd be easy.

It's not easy.

[sighs]

What's not easy?

This.

Getting close to you.

I want to make love with you.

[mellow music playing]

But I'm scared.

Of what?

So many things.

[breathes deeply]

You with me, there's nothing to be afraid of.

[mellow music continues]

Come here.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Ben?

No, I'm glad you called.

But I thought since you didn't call back all day

that you...

You just now got the message?

Where are you?

Ah.

What the heck are you doing in San Diego?

Oh, I see.

[chuckles]

So, when are you coming back?

Oh.

[chuckles] Yeah, I'll give you a rain check.

Offer's still good tomorrow night.

[chuckles]

Yeah, I'd love that.

Okay.

Ben?

Are we just fooling ourselves? Uh, do you...

[chuckles]

Okay.

I'll see you tomorrow night. Bye-bye.

-[phone ringing] -[groans]

-Hello. -Good news, Mrs. Ewing.

Lotus Point no longer has a water problem.

Just like that?

[Scott] I'm meeting with Galveston's people again

in the morning.

Merely a formality.

We've already reached agreement on the terms.

[Abigail] His or ours?

[chuckles] Ours, of course.

I never enter negotiations without an advantage.

[sighs] I didn't know we had one.

We didn't until today.

[Abigail gasps] I don't understand.

I- I mean, Galveston has been holding us up

on details for months.

I found a way to overcome them.

I thought you'd be pleased.

I am. Uh...

I- I just didn't expect results so quickly.

[Scott scoffs] That's what you pay me for.

It's been a long day for me, Mrs. Ewing.

I'll call you again in the morning

after I wrap things up.

Goodnight.

Scott, thank you. And you're right.

This is a terrific bonus.

[chuckles]

You misunderstand.

The Galveston deal is just part of the job.

The bonus is yet to come.

Goodnight.

[ominous music playing]

This looks like some winding key.

I know I can put them right.

[toy clatters]

Ah...

Kiddos. Wait a minute.

[sighs]

[gasps]

Oh...

Ah.

Baby. It's not time yet.

Argh.

Oh. [gasps]

[groans]

[groans]

God. It's not time yet.

[groans]

[groans]

Oh...

[phone ringing]

Hey, Bernie, are you gonna let that phone ring all night

or what?

You might stop it.

[Cathy] ♪ But I won't beg...

Yeah, this is Bernie.

I need to speak to Lilimae Clements.

She's, uh, she's sitting somewhere

at a table at your bar.

Could you page her, please?

I'm sorry, you'd have to speak up.

I can't hear you.

I need to speak to Miss Lilimae Clements

or Joshua Rush.

This is an emergency. Please.

Good lady. You're gonna have to speak up.

[sighs] Argh.

[panting]

What is the number?

[crickets chirping]

[phone ringing]

[phone continues ringing]

-[phone dialing] -Please, be home, Laura.

[panting]

[phone continues dialing]

Alright then.

I can't just sit around.

[upbeat music playing]

[phone ringing]

[phone continues ringing]

Hello.

Michael.

Michael, is Eric there with you?

-Yeah, Val, what is it? -[music continues playing]

Wait, can you guys keep it down?

Baby, I think... I think that I've gone into labor, uh...

I need to get to the hospital as soon as possible.

Oh, we'll be right there.

Eric, let's go. Val's in labor.

[panting]

[melancholy music playing]

[sniffles]

[sniffles]

Karen.

What's wrong?

-Huh? -[smooches]

Nothing's wrong.

[clicks tongue]

I just wish this moment could last forever.

We'll be together forever like this.

Hey, there's no reason we can't be.

No.

There's no reason we can't be.

-[chuckles] -[smooches]

[woman over PA system] Dr. Gravel,

please call the operator.

Has your physician been notified?

Ye-yes, yeah.

How far along are you?

How many months pregnant are you?

Uh, eight months.

And time between contractions?

Uh, I don't know. I haven't timed them.

The pain feels kind of constant.

Mrs. Ewing, there's nothing to be alarmed about.

-You're gonna be just fine. -Oh.

Uh, notify delivery that we have a customer

and get me her prenatal records,

-please, and let's get her... -You mean--

-...into the delivery room. -It's time.

[pants] Can-can the boys, uh, go with me?

Well, I'm afraid not, Mrs. Ewing.

Eric.

Doctor, Doctor, is-is she gonna be alright?

Uh, premature births are not unusual with twins.

Is-is there anything we should be doing right now?

Well, if you could help the nurse

with any of the questions on the forums,

it'd be a big help, uh...

Otherwise, just stay put,

and I'll make sure that someone keeps you posted.

Okay, thank you.

Uh...

Um...

It's not my birthday.

It's not your birthday. Is it? No.

-[champagne bubbling] -It's not our anniversary.

What the hell is it? What's going on?

[chuckles]

Well...

Scott Easton's trip to Washington

has paid off already.

He made the deal with Galveston.

We now have the rights to all the water

we'll need at Lotus Point at the price we wanted.

Just like that?

[chuckles]

I know. That was my reaction, too.

[sighs]

-That's great. -[Abigail] Oh.

That's really great. He deserves a bonus.

What?

Nothing.

[chuckles]

Here's to Lotus Point.

-And to us. -[glasses clink]

Hey, I just want you to relax.

-Don't press... -Now, breathe.

-Don't press my stomach. -Breathe deeply.

-[breathes heavily] -Breathe in.

Out.

In.

-Don't. -Out.

-Don't-- -Just relax. You're fine.

-Don't push my stomach now. -In.

[groans, breathes heavily]

-You're doing fine. -[groans]

-[woman 1] In. -[Valene] Argh!

-[woman 1] Keep breathing. -[Valene] Argh!

Argh!

[breathes heavily]

Keep breathing.

She's fully dilated.

[Valene breathes heavily]

You're doing just fine, Val. Just fine.

-I am? -[Mitch] I'm gonna ask you

...to start pushing soon.

-You're almost there. -Okay, okay.

[breathes heavily] Okay. Okay.

Doctor, I'm detecting some hemorrhaging.

[breathes heavily]

I want an anesthesiologist brought in, stat.

-Yes, Doctor. -Don't push. Don't push.

Don't push. Give me.

I need somebody here.

You're doing just fine.

-Help me. Okay. -Take a deep breath, Valene.

[breathes heavily]

Val, I want you to be prepared to go under anesthesia.

No. I want to be awake. I want to see it.

Val, you're experiencing complications.

No, I want to... I don't want to.

[breathes heavily]

Keep breathing.

I'll try to confine it to a local,

but you're beginning to bleed

quite a bit.

Do you understand me?

Yeah, I do. [breathes heavily]

Are you sure they're not there?

Well, would you, please, check again?

[sighs]

Well, is the band still performing?

[woman over PA system] Dr. Curtis,

-Dr. Curtis. - Yeah, thanks.

Please call ...

-Doctor-- -Still no answer at Val's.

Well, they must be on their way home.

I tried Laura. She's not there either.

-Who are you calling now? -Gary.

[coins clinking]

[pumping]

-Right here. -Yeah. Everything okay?

[Valene sighs]

[Valene groaning]

[Mitch] That's right, Val. Push.

Argh.

Argh.

Argh.

Argh.

Argh.

[groans quieter]

[Mitch] You're doing just fine, Val.

-Just fine. -[Valene] It's okay.

[breathes heavily]

[breathes heavily]

[Valene whimpers]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Mitch] It's alright, Val.

It's just a mild sedative to help you through.

[suspenseful music playing]

[Mitch] Now, Val.

Help me push.

[groans]

[Mitch] Push.

-Argh. -[Mitch] Push.

-Argh. -[Mitch] Push.

[Val groans]

-[Mitch] Help me push. -[Val groans]

-Help me push. -Argh.

-Help me push. -[Valene screaming]

-Shoulder's out. -Argh.

[Valene screaming]

[Mitch] Cutting the cord, Val.

[Valene screaming]

Argh.

-[Valene groans] -[Mitch grunts]

[baby cries]

[sobs]

[Valene crying]

Here we go again, Val.

-[Valene groans] -Push.

-Argh. -[Mitch] Push.

-Argh. -Push.

-Argh. -Shoulders up.

It hurts!

[Valene groans]

[Mitch] Now I'm cutting this one, Val.

[groaning]

[baby cooing]

[Val chuckles]

[woman 2] Breathe, sweetheart.

They are good and healthy.

They're breathing well. Responding.

-[Valene] You went through it. -[Mitch] Okay.

[laughing]

-You gonna be okay about this? -Oh, sure. Why shouldn't I be?

Just because my husband is running off to the hospital

to be with his ex-wife.

Abby.

[sighs] Why do you have to go?

Because they couldn't find anybody else.

[Gary] Will you stop worrying?

You have nothing to worry about.

You never have.

[smooches]

[Abby sighs]

-[sighs] -[door closes]

How are you feeling?

[chuckles]

Good.

Good.

Tired.

Can the nurses bring them in now?

Well, you need to rest now.

But I want to see them.

Val...

[Mitch sighs]

I'm afraid that we lost the babies.

[tense music playing]

What?

I'm sorry.

There was nothing we could do. They were stillborn.

But I saw them.

I heard them cry.

Well, it's a natural reaction. You were under sedation.

-The mind plays little tricks. -No.

I heard them cry.

I'm sorry. I'm very, very sorry.

[sobs]

-[sniffling] -Come on, Olivia.

It's just a nightmare. It's okay now.

-I know. -Are you alright?

-Yes. [sniffles] -Alright. Come on .

-I'll go in bed with you. -Okay.

Alright? Okay.

[sniffling]

[grunts] Come over.

-Ah, that's better. -[sniffles]

-Feel better? -Yeah.

-Okay. Shh. -[sighs]

No, uh... There's nothing else we can do.

How is she?

[clicks tongue]

The doctor, uh, gave her something to sleep.

Look, uh, I'm going to stick around for a while.

Why don't you go on home, wait for Lilimae and Joshua show up?

[sighs]

-[phone ringing] -[Abby] Hello.

Gary, what is it?

Oh, my God.

[sighs]

How is she?

[sighs] Oh, yeah.

Oh, sure. You...

You've got to stay there at least until Lilimae comes.

I love you, too.

Bye.

[sighs]

[switch clicks]

[soft music playing]

[phone ringing]

-Gary. -[man] Mrs. Ewing,

I'm sorry to disturb you at this hour.

Who is this?

[man 1] Uh, our agent neglected

to get the blood type of the father.

Would you mind giving it to me?

What?

The father's blood type, Mrs. Ewing,

is essential for our paperwork.

What are you talking about?

[man 1] The children's father, Mrs. Ewing.

[dramatic music playing]

What children?

[man] The children in question.

Oh, I think I understand.

Perhaps you can't talk right now.

If you don't already have this information,

please secure it as soon as possible.

I'll be getting back to you later.
