07x25 - The Legacy

[bunniefuu]

Mack, he's not getting better.

Yeah, but they're doing everything they can.

No, they're not doing you enough.

Sleep with the guy and you fall in love with him.

Sleep with the football team.

Sleep with the whole planet for all I care,

but stay away from Gary Ewing.

I always expect a big return on my investments.

Well, I'm sure we can reach an agreement.

We already have. I get 51% of everything you get

from Greg Sumner.

-I know everyone has to die. -Hey!

I just thought I would die first.

[theme music playing]

[tense music]

[women over PA] Dr. Catrell. Dr. Janet Catrell.

Emergency admitting, stat.

Oh, he looked awful, mom.

-He was in so much pain. -I want to see him.

-Where is he? -He's in there. They're making

-some kind of tests. -What tests?

-Are you Eric's mother? -Yes.

The doctor will be here in a minute, so if you'll just wait.

What did the doctor say? What's the matter?

[nurse] Well, your son is having some abdominal pain.

We'll know more shortly. And don't worry, please.

Dr. Faulkner is a very fine doctor.

[chatter over PA]

[gloomy music]

I'm just asking you to go out to dinner with me.

-No. -Well, how about a movie then?

-A drink? -Peter...

I don't want to be seen in public with you.

Much less go out on a date.

I made a mistake, Jill.

Abby pressured me about you

and I threatened to tell about the babies.

And she blew you and Greg Sumner out of the water.

I know, Petey. I was there. I saw her tell the world

she knew all about the babies and I watched her transform

from baby stealer to Florence Nightingale.

Chalk that up to experience.

But Abby was financing my lawsuit against Sumner.

Then I'd say you made a very big mistake.

But I can get back in her good graces if you go out with me.

No!

As long as there is the slightest chance

that I can recover Empire Valley by using Gary Ewing I am not

and I repeat, Peter, am not going to jeopardize

my relationship with him.

Jill!

He's already given away half of it to the Gibson twins

and another chunk to Lotus Point for development.

He still owns almost half.

Compared to what I've got at stake here

which is half of Galveston Industries,

Lotus Point and Empire Valley is chump change.

But it's what I want so you find another way to appease Abby.

As long as Gary still controls Empire Valley

I cannot afford to offend him.

Swell.

[tense music]

[chuckles]

[announcement over PA]

Oh, thank you.

How is he? I'm Eric's mother.

We gave him a painkiller. He's resting better now.

-Well, what's wrong with him? -We don't know yet.

He came in with convulsions and severe abdominal pain.

He's been vomiting and there was blood in the urine.

-[Karen] Oh, my God. -[Dr. Faulkner] We did an IVP

and an abdominal X-ray. His kidneys are fine.

I was more concerned about the convulsions

than anything else. We did a CAT scan.

Didn't find any injury to the head. Could be an ulcer.

So we've scheduled him for an upper GI study tomorrow.

Tomorrow? Why do we have to wait till tomorrow?

Some of the symptoms are subsiding.

He seemed less confused than when he arrived.

-Confused? -Yeah.

He was sort of mixed up, mom.

Like real disoriented.

I'd like to go over his medical history with you.

Well, h-he just had the flu.

I'm not sure it was just the flu.

Let's discuss his medical history.

-Sure. -Well, Mack, could you do that?

-I'd like to see my son. -Of course.

-[phone rings] -[sighs]

[somber music playing]

Hi.

Mom.

You're gonna be fine.

Everything is okay.

[exhale sharply]

-Am I late? -Gary,

you gave Karen 3200 acres of Empire Valley.

-She only needed 32. -So call me generous.

-We had an agreement, Gary. -Yeah, I know.

You asked for the rest of Empire Valley,

the part I hadn't already given away.

-But I thought... -And you got what you asked for.

By the time I agreed to your agreement,

those two little zeros

had already been written into my contract

-with Lotus Point. -You did this to spite me,

-didn't you? -Come on, Abby.

I got better things to do with my time.

Hey, look, you don't like the arrangement?

Fine, we can forget it.

I mean, I'm more than willing to keep Empire Valley.

You keep this up, Gary,

and the whole thing's gonna blow up in your face.

What about your end of the bargain?

The permit for the Lotus Point expansion?

Well, I'm flying up to Sacramento tomorrow

to meet with the planning commission.

I'll, um, I'll see how the review process is going.

No, no. You'll do better than that.

You'll bring back the permit.

Sure, I will.

[chatter on PA]

We have to take him for tests. Eric.

We're going to take you to radiology now.

-Can I go with him? -No, I'm sorry, you can't.

Why don't you go to the cafeteria

and get something to eat?

I'll be here when you get back.

[tense music]

[groaning]

[Eric groaning]

He did look better this morning, didn't he? He looked better.

You haven't touched your lobster.

You've seen one lobster, you've seen them all.

Well, waste not, want not. This guy gave his life for you.

Thank him for me, will you?

Too late.

Proof of the lobster is in the tasting.

[coughs]

Cat got your tongue, huh?

No, I just run out of maxims.

Are you upset because Peter didn't agree to a settlement?

Hell, no, I'd be upset if he did agree.

Then the game would be over.

You think it's a game?

Don't you?

You know, Greg, cynicism may be fashionable,

but it is really, really boring.

Boring is in the eye of the beholder.

Would you give me a break?

You are one of the richest men in the world.

At least be good at being rich.

I mean, move to Caen,

or Scotland, or bring irrigation to the Sahara,

or jobs to the reservation. Do something with your money.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Water to the Sahara sounds like

something I could really get behind.

The guy I fell in love with was a lot happier

when he was going after something.

And you went after whatever you wanted.

I don't know what you want.

I wanted to be king.

You see, there are two kinds of people in this world.

Those who get things done,

and those who have things done to them.

I figured if I was king, that I could use my power

to make this a better world.

Like all 11-year-olds think they're gonna do

when they grow up.

Well, some of those 11-year-olds, when they grow up,

do make it a better world.

You could, too.

Go after the presidency.

I gave up my seat in the Senate.

Politically, I'm yesterday's news.

All right, so find a candidate you can support.

Somebody who thinks the way you do.

I couldn't possibly support anybody

who thinks the way I do.

Always with the jokes, you know? You always joke

when you will not take responsibility for yourself.

-Skip the analysis, will you? -You mean skip the truth?

[soft music playing]

Look, you said it yourself.

You wanted to be someone who does things.

Instead, you sit around in this office, and you drink all day,

and you bemoan the fact that you lost your Senate seat,

and you complain about the way your daddy treated you,

and you pine after that damned Empire Valley

when you don't even care about it.

Listen, I care about Empire Valley,

and don't you ever forget it.

Just because you say it means everything

does not prove a thing.

I suppose it amuses you to think that

you have a passion for something,

like it amuses you to keep that what's-his-name around here,

who you know, and your gut is a fraud.

If Empire Valley is so important to you,

why don't you go out and buy it? Tie it up in court.

I don't-I don't know. Be inventive.

You want a little brother? Go ahead. Adopt Peter.

I don't care, but stop posturing.

Stop playing at being a shaker and a mover.

Stop giving lip service to having a passion for something,

and get passionate.

[exhales sharply]

I'm pooped. I'm going back to work.

Hey, who do you say we get married?

[soft music continues]

I appreciate the offer, and...

I'll seriously consider it.

Yo, Peter!

Yeah?

Listen, you sure you don't want that

five million dollars I offered you?

-No, I thought I explained... -[Greg] No speeches.

I'm tired of speeches. You want the five million or not?

I just feel the offer is inadequate.

-You're out.

-I'm what? -You're out.

Fired.

Pack your bags and get out of here.

I don't want you around here anymore.

All right.

-Hi. -Hi. [laughs]

-How did it go? -Ugh...

-Sit. -No, no, come on, let's walk.

[sighs]

Was it that awful?

No, actually, it was quite civil.

I was civil to Abby, to her attorney, to my attorney.

I'm exhausted from hours of civility.

-But it's over now. -Yeah, my part is.

Now the attorneys draw up the papers.

Actually, their minimum wage clerks draw up the papers,

and they bill us for the papers.

Then the papers get processed, then we wait.

-How long? -Six months.

Well, it sounds like it could have been worse.

Oh, yeah, could have been a lot worse.

She didn't get your head on a platter?

-You were still in one piece? -That's true.

She got pretty much of everything else

she wanted, but she didn't get that.

What else did she want?

The rest of Empire Valley was high on her list.

-You gave her? -The rest of Empire Valley?

Nah, I figured what the hell.

It's worth it just to get rid of her.

[mellow music]

[instrumental music]

Curtain will be going up in five minutes,

ladies and gentlemen.

Five minutes until curtain.

All I said was I warned you.

What you said was you told me so.

I agreed to go out with you. I don't need a lecture.

Sorry, I just don't want you to count on Gary. He's not smart.

You're pretty free with advice for someone who just got fired.

So, what do you have to say for yourself?

Honey, all I can say is that

sometimes things just don't work out.

Well, couldn't you make it work?

It takes two to make a marriage.

Don't give up. I don't want you and Gary to get a divorce.

But his divorce doesn't matter anymore.

Gary doesn't have what I want.

Well, that's all the more reason to help me win over Abby.

She'll own Empire Valley soon enough.

I'm here, aren't I? What more do you want?

I want you to look as though you're enjoying yourself.

How can I have fun when I'm worried about you and Gary?

Mom, is it because of me? Because I ran away?

Oh, no, honey.

-If it is... -Please, no, shh.

No, baby, it's not. Don't ever think that.

Because if it is, I promise I'll do everything you say.

-Oh, Olivia. -I'll stop smoking grass

if you and Gary get together.

-Shh. Please. Honey. -[sobs]

[instrumental music playing]

Let me take your jacket off.

Okay.

[indistinct chatter]

[inaudible]

Honey...

I guarantee you that I am... and I will do...

everything I can to make us a family again.

[Karen] Michael brought you his tape player

and some of your tapes. Want to hear anything?

[Mack] You say no?

-At home he plays at full blast. -Yeah.

Here, I think he's just trying to impress you.

I suppose he already has your name and phone number already.

-[Eric groaning] -Oh, my God.

Aw!

-Get him something. -It's not time yet.

What do you mean not time? He's in such pain.

-Just get him some medication. -I'll ask the doctor.

Good. Do that.

All right. Karen.

Mack, he's not getting better.

They are doing everything that they can.

Well, it's not enough.

We have to wait for the tests...

The doctor can't do anything. Just give him time.

[groaning]

-I'll ask the doctor. -[Eric groaning]

I'm sorry, Mr. Ewing. Ms. Bennett isn't in.

Would you like to leave a message?

-I'd like to leave this. -I'll be glad to give it to her.

Thank you.

[laughs]

[inaudible]

[tense music]

Well, that was close. Another few minutes

and Gary would have seen us together.

What difference does it make

if you're not going to see him anymore?

I'd like to break up with him a little more diplomatically,

that's all.

Well, I think we can safely say Gary has a crush on you.

Well, he's not the first and he won't be the last.

He's a nice man. Just shouldn't have given away Empire Valley.

That's right. It's his loss.

Well, it's land or me.

[chuckles]

No comparison.

-All in favor? -[all] Aye.

Opposed?

Let the record show that the motion passed unanimously.

Next, an item, item 242J on your agenda.

The staff recommendation for consolidating

the various departments which deal with toxic waste.

Now, the intent here, and I'm sure we all believe

it's a good one,

is to eliminate the duplication of responsibilities.

Our research staff, and I must say,

they've done one hell of a job on this,

will summarize the proposal. Harry?

Well, as you know, our state has never had

an all-inclusive toxic waste disposal policy.

Until the early 70s,

it wasn't even against the law to dig a big hole,

so long as it was on your own property

and pour chemicals into it.

Now, that procedure was common throughout the nation.

Companies from the smallest painting contractors

to the chemical giants like Transfed Amalgamated

or Galveston Industries

routinely disposed of toxic waste

in the same haphazard fashion.

These dump sites are often hidden and

discovered accidentally during construction

or when their contents leak down into the water supply

or up to ground level and into the atmosphere.

[chatter on PA]

-Hi. -Hi.

-How are you? -Good. How are you doing?

I'm okay.

How's she doing?

[chuckles] Awful.

She's not sleeping. She can't get any answers.

I know we have a good doctor. I don't want a good doctor.

I want the best doctor in the state.

Is he the best?

[sighs]

What do you mean he has to have hospital privileges?

Well, can't we get anyone we want?

All right. Just call me back when you find out.

Eric's in room 1214.

Thanks.

-Hi, hon. -Hi.

Mmm. I brought you some clean clothes.

Oh.

And mama insisted that I bring

some of her cookies.

-Hm. -Hey.

They're fresh baked.

I can stay most of the day if you need me

-to run errands or anything. -No, you have to

take care of the kids. I'm... I'm fine.

No, it's no problem. Mama's watching them.

I really appreciate it, but I-I don't need anything.

Come on, you have to eat something.

I gotta get back to the room.

I'm expecting a call. There's a specialist

who might be able to help us find out what's going on.

Thanks.

Sure.

I really appreciate you doing this.

Oh, no problem. No problem at all.

I'm just glad someone's interested enough to ask.

I know there's a heck of a lot of information

available to the public.

I guess most people figure there's too much data

to get a handle on it.

Here's a report that indicates



You said something about Galveston industries.

Yeah, yeah. Major industry.

Major waste.

All legal, mind you.

What did they have to dispose of?

What didn't they have is the question.

Every petrochemical by-product you can think of,

including PCBs, before they were banned.

And do you know where they put it?

Well, we know where they put most of it.

A lot of corporations kept records.

Galveston Industries. Let's see.

They had three major dump sites.

Um, the San Vicente quarry,

a place near Vista Sierra, south of San Bernardino,

and, um, Empire Valley.

What did they put there?

Several hundred metric tons of acid and arsenic.

Acid and arsenic?

[Harry] It's not uncommon.

Remember Love Canal? The arsenic and acid combined there

to produce arsenic gas.

[keyboard rattles]

[sing-song] Hello.

Abby, what a pleasant surprise.

Where's your, um, mascot?

He's gone. I decided to clean house.

Really? Well, that's too bad.

He kind of brightened up the place.

But as a matter of fact,

I'm putting my life in order, too.

Well, you're off to a rip-roaring start if...

your performance at the benefit the other night

was any indication.

How many thank-you cards did you get,

you old... baby-saver, you?

Come on, Greg.

I really did work very hard to get Val's kids back.

You make it sound so noble. But you've got my respect, doll.

You really pulled it out of the hat this time.

Well, I'm glad we're still friends.

Friends?

Well, we have a healthy business respect

for each other, don't we?

I mean I still want to do business with you.

Why am I not tempted?

[Abby] Because you don't know my proposition yet.

You see, I am getting...

Empire Valley in the divorce settlement.

You mean you're getting what's left of Empire Valley?

Mm! Yeah, what's left of it.

A mere 50,000 acres of prime real estate.

Ah, for Garry gives that up,

he must be dying to get rid of you.

Uh-huh-uh.

That just made the price go up.

You see, Greg, I'm willing to sell it all to you.

Every bit of it. Lock, stock and barrel.

-Hey. -Hey.

What's this?

I'm just cleaning out my dressing room.

Oh, great. I guess that means you decided to go on tour, huh?

-Yeah, I probably will. -Probably?

Tour's a chance of a lifetime. You've been dying to go on it?

Well, I just... I figure it'll be so lonely out on the road.

Cathy, Cathy, Cathy. Look, I'm going home for dinner.

Why don't you come on over and, uh,

let Val and I talk you into going?

No, thanks.

I'd make a great omelet.

[laughs]

No, I've-I've really got a lot of things to do.

Let's not stop seeing each other because of what happened.

No, no, Ben, that's not it, really. I...

I've just got a lot of things to do.

Really.

-Okay. -Great.

[man 1] So, uh, you want to go for a pizza?

[man 2] Sounds good to me.

Let's ask Cathy if she wants to come, too.

Get serious. She's a star. She's got better things to do

than hang out at pizza joints.

[car engine revving]

[car horn honks]

Bye.

[mellow music]

Hi, it's Gary Ewing. You got a message for me?

Uh, yeah, Angelo's garage. I've got the number.

Anything else?

All right, thank you.

[dialing phone]

Hi, uh, Jill Bennett, Room 724, please.

What do you mean she's not taking any calls?

Um, did she pick up my messages? Gary Ewing.

I see.

You know when she will be taking calls?

Okay. Thank you.

[somber music]

[phone rings]

-Hello? -Hi.

Listen, I know it's last minute, but I was thinking about

going to a movie. You want to go?

Oh, I can't. You know, uh, Greg's gonna be here

in a few minutes to pick me up for dinner.

Okay, well, maybe later in the week.

Oh, look, why don't you come with us, okay?

Oh, thanks, but I don't think so.

Oh, come on. He's not gonna mind.

Yeah, I appreciate the offer, but, uh,

maybe some other time, okay?

Okay. Take care.

I'll talk to you later. Bye.

-Would you like a drink? -Just soda water, thanks.

-I'm gonna keep my head clear. -Peter, we're partners.

If you can't trust me, who can you trust?

[plays piano]

It's not you that I'm worried about. It's me.

Well, never mind.

I like a man who's in control of himself.

Thanks. Call it enlightened self-interest.

Listen, Abby, I'd like to apologize

about the other night... for threatening to expose

what you knew about the Ewing babies.

-Gibson babies, please. -I'm sorry.

It's all right. You're young. You'll learn. Forget it.

But, um, tell me about Jill Bennett.

I have a date with her tomorrow night.

Good. Lucky her.

I know how, uh, charming you can be

when you want to be.

I hope your efforts are gonna show some results soon.

Courtship is not an exact science... but I'm confident.

I have no doubt about your confidence in yourself.

That's another sign of youth.

You use that word so disparagingly.

-Confidence? -No, youth.

I'm not a child, Abby.

Don't worry.

I'd never mistake you for a child.

I know what I'm doing.

At least you're confident you know what you're doing.

-I quit my job. -Really?

Well, do you think that was wise?

My lawyers recommended it.

It was a question of... image.

They didn't think it would look good to a jury

to sue the man I was working for.

And when I win, I'm gonna pay back every cent you loaned me.

Loaned? Oh, dear. I considered it an investment...

and I always expect a big return on my investments.

Well, I'm sure we can reach an agreement.

[Abby] We already have. That's why I asked you here tonight.

I get 51% of everything you get from Greg Sumner.

-You what? -Oh, don't worry.

It'll still look like you're in charge.

Just the fine print will change.

And I'll control the stock.

Are you crazy?

Don't insult the person who's gonna keep your secret.

My secret?

You're no more related to Greg Sumner than I am.

-Paul Galveston was my father. -Really?

Not according to your mother, Sylvia Lean.

And I'd say her testimony was rather vital

to your case, wouldn't you?

Of course, in a court of law, it'd be my word against hers

and the jury would have to decide, but...

I think I have sufficient proof for Greg Sumner.

And this time, he wouldn't just fire you like he did yesterday.

He'd eat you alive.

So... 51% of everything you get.

Oh, and... keep up your efforts with Jill Bennett, huh?

As a personal favor to me?

[gloomy music]

[waves crashing]

Why don't you come by? I was thinking about

cooking something fabulous.

Or trying to cook something fabulous.

Oh, okay. Well, have a good time.

I'll see you later. Bye.

[knocking on door]

Who is it?

[Gary] I don't want to tell you. You might not let me in.

Gary, can we talk later? I'm already in bed.

Hey, I'll join you there.

Jill, this is ridiculous. Open up.

What's the matter?

I don't know what to say. Have I done something?

No.

Do I owe you an apology?

-No. -Then what is it?

Do I owe you something? Is that what you're saying?

Yeah, an explanation.

Why haven't you returned my calls? What's going on?

Gary, I have a life of my own.

Is that what you call Peter Hollister? A life of your own?

-Have you been spying on me? -No.

Peter Hollister is a friend. He's a friend.

You're a friend.

What's happened since yesterday?

Nothing.

You're the one who's blowing everything out of proportion.

What did you think, Gary? Leave one wife, get another?

No. I thought we were in love.

Gary, we've had a good time together, that's all.

I mean, we're not kids.

You don't fall in love every time you turn around.

Jill...

Gary, go home.

I can't believe you're doing this.

Gary, I don't want to see you right now.

Maybe later.

Maybe never.

[somber music]

So how do we solve this, Rowe?

-Short of m*rder. -She has scruples.

Well, no matter how you look at it,

even if Hollister loses in the long run,

a suit like this can be incredibly expensive

and can drag out for years.

Well, we'll fight it as long as it takes.

It is a question of justice.

It's a question of money. My money.

I don't see how he can hold out. He's got no job,

no visible means of support.

-Greg kicked him out. -[Greg] Correct me if I'm wrong,

but the burden of proof lies with my baby brother, right?

Yeah, but so far, the proof looks very convincing.

Birth certificate, school records,

and the damaging documents are those support payments

that Paul Galveston made to Sylvia Lean.

I don't know how my old man ever got into that.

Well, when the case comes to trial...

If it goes to trial.

Peter Hollister is going to have the jury's sympathy.

[scoffs] Just a poor, deprived, illegitimate kid

up against an impersonal corporation.

-Heartless. -Heartless.

How could you do this? We went over every detail

time and time again.

Mrs. Ewing told me she knew.

She... My God, what would you have said

if she'd offered you the Brooklyn Bridge?

Great, I'll take two.

Peter, I thought she was trying to help us.

To help us? Oh, my God!

How could I have gotten into this with you?

You wanted to settle with Sumner

when he offered us table scraps.

You tell Abby Ewing I'm not your son.

What are we doing this for, for laughs?

It sure seems like a comedy to me.

But you said she won't tell.

[sighs]

Do you know how many millions you could have cost us?

But I did have Galveston's son. I deserve what's mine.

You deserve nothing. You had a penny-ante scheme,

getting Galveston for child support.

I found your file while I was working at Galveston Industries,

and I discovered your little white lie.

But he was Galveston's baby. He owed me.

He owes me, too. For different reasons.

But I concocted the whole plan, not you.

I got the documents, not you.

I dummied up the records, not you.

All you had to do was keep your lousy mouth shut

and pretend I was your son.

We could still work it out.

We? You don't seem to be interested anymore.

If you had a heart attack, mother dear,

or if you fell down a stairway,

it would make my life very simple.

I would inherit a lot more money, wouldn't I?

[somber music playing]

[laughs] It's a boy. Yeah, yeah. Oh, you should see him.

He's as strong as a horse. Yeah.

[Karen] I don't know why they can't figure out

what's happening with him.

Just keep taking these damn tests.

Okay, okay. Good thing is that he is young and he is strong

and he hasn't gotten any worse.

He hasn't gotten any better either.

I had a son. My...my wife had a son.

-It's... it's a boy. -Yeah. I know the feeling.

-Congratulations. -[man] Thanks, thanks.

[laughs] Hey, it's a boy.

I remember...

I was so scared when my kids were little.

I was so afraid they were going to swallow something and choke.

Or run out in front of a car.

I always thought it would be fine when they grew up.

[sobs]

That I wouldn't...

that I wouldn't have to worry anymore.

[sniffles]

I know everyone has to die. I just thought I'd die first.

If anything happens to Eric...

[sniffles]

I don't think I could stand it.

I wouldn't survive.

You think he's going to be okay?

-Yeah, of course. -You say of course?

Mack, you don't have to say of course to me

because you think you're supposed to.

You know, I'm old enough to handle the truth.

Hey, Mike, I said, of course, because I believe it.

But why? Why? The doctors haven't told us that.

Look, I don't know what I'm supposed to say,

but if I say Eric is gonna get better, it's...

it's because I want to believe it.

You know, I don't know what I'd do if he doesn't.

Hey!

-[sighs] -Don't talk like that.

So I've decided to go on the tour.

-Well, you can't. -What do you mean I can't?

You're the one who's been pushing me to go.

No, I know, it's... You said it yourself.

I mean, you can't go. It's too lonely out there.

There's no friends, different motel every night,

lumpy beds, lousy food.

I couldn't be any lonelier than I am here.

I really couldn't.

Well, all your friends are here.

Yeah, but all my friends have their families

and I'm just everybody's single buddy who gets invited to dinner

and, and I babysit the kids and that's great, but...but...

I just can't live this way anymore.

When are you leaving?

Next week.

Maybe we can get together for dinner before you go.

I'm going to be real busy.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know.

Well, if I don't get about a thousand postcards from you

when you're on the road, I'm going to come beat you up.

[mellow music playing]

-Okay. -Okay.

-I'll see you later. -Yeah.

Damn.

It's a letter of agreement. When my divorce is final,

you get Empire Valley. It's clean and simple.

It only cost me a couple of television stations,

several million dollars and a choice seat

on the board of Galveston Industries.

A small price to pay.

A huge price.

But I'm willing.

Aren't you going to sign it now?

You're awfully anxious to get rid of this piece of ground,

aren't you?

You're too kind to me all of a sudden.

[sighs] I know how much this land means to you, Greg.

It's just real estate to me.

I know you have big plans for the future of Empire Valley.

Exactly. And that's why I want my attorneys

to go over all this very carefully.

Well, if you don't want to sign it now, that's fine with me.

Of course, the price might go up later.

I'll take my chances.

[instrumental music]

My son's been poisoned.

Yes, the toxicology test went positive.

-He's got arsenic poisoning. -Arsenic?

Arsenic? How could that happen?

[Jill] Peter, let me out of this car and stop it.

Jill, I'm not giving you choices.

Jill! Jill, for an attorney,

you have a pretty naive sense of justice.

You want to punish Galveston Industries

for polluting Westfall by getting the courts to fine them

a couple hundred dollars?

Big deal. Well, I'm after Moore.

I'm going to make them pay for what they did.

-You can do it without me. -No, I can't. I need you.

Abby knows about me,

and if I can't keep you away from Gary,

she's going to blow the whistle on us.

Gary says that he loves me, and I'm not going to hurt him.

Is that what this is all about?

Don't tell me you're in love with him.

Oh, that's it. [sighs]

You sleep with a guy and you fall in love with him.

Well, sleep with the mailman. Sleep with the football team.

Sleep with the whole planet, for all I care.

But stay away from Gary Ewing.

Peter, don't you care how I feel?

Don't you care? [sobs]

I do? Of course, I care.

You're my sister.

The only family I've got.

[sighs] But we can't forget.

Galveston destroyed our parents.

They were a business obstacle to him.

Yet, he k*lled them as sure as if he'd hold a g*n

to their heads and fired.

Jill, we are closing in on this.

We can't quit now.
