ELLIE: What's that supposed to mean?
You gonna bring him into this house? As your husband?
If that's the case, I'll be moving out. I think I speak for Bobby too.
- You hated me that much? - I never hated you.
I never meant to hurt you.
Far as I'm concerned, the baby will never know your name.
I moved out of the house...
not out of your life.
Maybe you gave me more room than I wanted.
- Abort this mission. MAN: I gave you your chance to back out.
You didn't. It's too late.
RAY: Bob.
CLAYTON: Hey, Bobby.
Clayton.
It's a little strange coming to Ray's and finding you here.
Kind of strange for me too.
How's your mama doing?
Well, she's not having an easy time of it.
None of us are.
This Wes Parmalee thing's making everybody crazy.
Well, J.R. and I came to a decision about that.
I'm gonna fly to South America and see it I can find the truth about Mr. Parmalee.
Then I'm going with you.
Count me in. I got a big stake in this too.
Look, I know you both mean well, but you're better off here.
It's pretty rough country down there, Bob.
I can take care of whatever needs to be done down there. I need you two here.
We can't leave Mama alone now.
Well, I can look after her from a distance.
Still wish I was going with you, Bob.
I know.
Last time we were down there, we were looking for Daddy.
I never thought I'd be going back.
- Just have a good trip. - Yeah.
Mandy, the Orient is just your first stop to stardom.
Honey, you're gonna love the script, you're gonna love the director.
Sign the contract.
That was very quick financing, Mr. Harvey.
Yes, well. I found some very willing investors.
Buffy?
Send me a postcard.
Well.
- Goodbye, Dallas. SUE ELLEN: Hello, Hollywood.
Sue Ellen.
You're going to love the Orient.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to congratulate you on your new career.
You're here to gloat because you still have J.R.
You won.
I didn't win. I just kept what I had.
That makes you the winner.
Congratulations accepted.
But I did do something for you along the way.
Did you?
The movie that you're about to start...
and the lingerie you're leaving behind...
you owe it all to me.
What are you talking about?
I am Valentine Lingerie.
I created you.
I can't believe this.
Why?
To get rid of you, of course.
The moment you became the Valentine Girl...
was the beginning of the end for you and my husband.
You see, J.R. likes trashy lingerie.
But not on the women he cares about.
You hated me that much.
No.
I never hated you.
And I never meant to hurt you.
You should know by now that J.R. would never leave me...
for another woman.
There have been so many of them.
He said if it would've been anybody, would've been me.
Did you know that?
My dear Mandy, words come so easy when you're walking out the door.
And don't cry.
You would've been miserable with J.R. in or out of marriage.
So everything that's happening in my life...
is because you wanted revenge on J.R.
Mandy, when you become a famous movie star...
revenge will seem like such a little thing.
Your plane leaves in the morning.
Good luck.
Sue Ellen.
I never thought I'd say this...
but it's a shame J.R. doesn't appreciate you.
JACKIE: Hi, Jamie. JAMIE: Hi, Jackie.
- Has he left yet? JACKIE: Coast is clear. He's at lunch.
- Hi, Pam. PAMELA: Hi.
You know. We could've met some place else.
I know.
I guess I just wanted an excuse to take one last look around.
All right.
Oh, Jackie, if my brother should arrive unexpectedly...
He won't. I made his reservations on the other side of town.
PAMELA: Good.
Oh, Jamie. I'm sorry it's come to this.
You deserve so much more.
Thanks.
I'm gonna miss this place.
And you... and Cliff.
He's gonna miss you.
Even though he can't admit it even to himself.
Sit down.
How is he doing these days?
Oh, he's worried about ...
and the Environmental Protection Agency.
He's going to lose millions, isn't he?
It's not the money.
It's failure that drives Cliff crazy. I've seen it almost destroy him.
I know how to solve his problem in the gulf.
- You do? You've tried telling him? - Thanks.
Yes. But you know how he is about women and brains.
Well, I'm not gonna defend him.
Especially if he can't get out of the way of his own pride.
Pam, I wish I didn't care about what happens to him.
But you love him.
Yes.
And I just can't stand by and watch him be destroyed.
I'm gonna help Cliff, whether he likes it or not.
WOMAN: I'm gonna see him, Phyllis. And I'm gonna see him now.
- I wanna talk to you. - Sorry.
- She just wouldn't wait outside. BOBBY: Look, Phyllis, it's all right.
Just close the door. Thank you.
How could you let Pam do it?
- Do what? - Pam.
She came to see me.
She wants me to have the baby. Your baby.
- I don't believe it. - Oh, believe it. And it gets even better.
Your wife wants to adopt my child.
- Adopt it? - She wants me to leave Dallas.
She wants the two of you to raise our baby, get me out of the way.
Oh, send Jenna packing with a few million dollars.
She says you can give the baby opportunities that I can't.
But I wanna tell you something.
Ewing money can't buy everything.
It can't buy me and it can't buy my child.
I'm gonna have this baby.
I'm gonna give it the love that money can't buy.
Jenna, I think it's wonderful you're gonna have the baby.
Oh, don't get any ideas, Bobby.
You and Pam will never see this baby.
You'll never held it and you'll never share in its growing up.
Jenna, just because you're angry with me, don't take it out on the child.
Oh, I'm angry. I'm also gonna sell the boutique that you gave me.
I'm also gonna hand you the check.
I don't want a check. I gave that to you as a gift.
That boutique is the thing that's connecting you and me.
I can't wait to get rid of it.
As far as I'm concerned, the baby will never know your name.
Mama.
Hello, J.R.
I didn't hear you come in.
I didn't expect to see you up this late.
Oh, I can't sleep.
- You look tired, though. - Well, I've been working hard.
Trying keep Ewing Oil going.
I know.
This has been very difficult for you and Bobby.
Be a lot less difficult if you were on our side.
I am on your side.
From where I'm standing, you're giving Wes Parmalee a helping hand.
J.R., I'm not gonna argue with you. We're both tired and it's very late.
If you don't declare that man a fraud, we could lose Ewing Oil.
If you lose Ewing Oil, it won't be because I kept silent.
It'll be because Wes Parmalee is your daddy.
Don't you think I'd know my own daddy?
Don't you think I would?
What if I'm turning my back on Jock?
What if you are?
No daddy of mine would sell Ewing Oil.
And never to a snake like Jeremy Wendell.
You are thinking about the Jock that was.
You're forgetting about what he's been through.
All that pain and suffering can change a man.
Can change his thinking.
Sure, it can change him. Change a pan of him.
But like Daddy used to say:
“You can shake the leaves off a tree, cut the limbs off.
But the trunk'll still be standing.“
There's something else your daddy used to say:
“To understand another man, you have to be in his shoes.“
If this man is Jock, he's been very, very hurt by his own family.
And Jock would've lashed out...
the only way he knew how, he'd hurt the ones that hurt him.
He'd sell Ewing Oil.
Mama, the only thing that Daddy truly had was Ewing Oil.
And I'd hate to see you and I come to a parting of the ways.
But I will never let another man sit in Jock Ewing's chair.
- Hi, how are you? - Good.
Hope I didn't keep you waiting long.
Only long enough to realize you're the prettiest woman in this hotel.
Boy, does that sound good these days.
You shouldn't be hauling a briefcase.
Well, here.
Old habits just die hard.
The weight of this thing, you're putting in -hour days.
Yeah, and I'm enjoying every minute of it.
Well, you always were a political animal.
You know I love politics and it's great to be back in the swing of things.
Word is getting around the Senate about your oil lobby.
Well, not many kind words, I'll bet.
You knew what you'd be up against.
That's why I'm working as hard as I am.
Gotta give it my best sh*t.
Is that the only reason?
Haven't you heard?
Hard work is a good cure for what ails you.
But you're still thinking about Ray, aren't you?
Every time I feel the baby.
You know, it's like. One day it's just me...
and then the next day, there's this new person in there...
and I get very excited and then I get real sad...
because Ray and I aren't sharing it together.
He loves you, he'd take you back in a minute.
He would take me back because of the baby...
not because we worked anything out.
We're just so different in so many ways.
Here I am...
in politics where compromise is the name of the game.
But with a husband and wife...
if you have to compromise who you are...
you become a very empty person...
in a very empty marriage.
I wish there was something I could do to help.
Just keep helping me the way you are.
Is that enough?
For right now, it is.
[INTERCOM BUZZES]
Yeah?
WOMAN: I have Garrett Gordon on the line, J.R.
All right.
- Gordon? - Surprised to hear from you...
after I came up with nothing in South America.
Well, forget about that. Bobby and I are working on it.
I'm calling on another matter. B.D. Calhoun.
I need to get in contact with him. He's in the Mideast somewhere.
- Now, what would he be doing there? - You don't have to speculate on that...
- just find him for me. - Why?
I just told you, I wanna talk to him.
Well, don't you know how to reach him?
It I did, I wouldn't be calling you. You're the one with the international network.
Okay, I'll get on it and get back to you.
Good.
- There you are. - Hi.
- Well, here's your saddle. - Hi.
- Darius is waiting for you. - I can't wait to ride him.
- Can you handle it? - Uh, I think so.
Okay.
Haven't seen her so happy in a long time.
JENNA: Well, I think mother and daughter have finally got things worked out.
Well, I knew Charlie was gonna be okay. She's just going through a bad time.
For the time being, things are gonna be a little bit easier for you too.
Oh, why is that?
Well, for one thing...
nobody's gonna come around and bother you about the baby.
This Wes Parmalee thing has Bobby going to South America.
Ewing Oil may be lost before this is finished.
I know how much that would hurt him.
I guess I really wouldn't want that.
You think I don't know that?
I did something I'm not so proud of.
You can always unload on me.
Well, to make a long, had story short, Pam made me an offer.
She wants me to have the baby so she and Bobby could adopt it.
What did you say?
I said a lot.
Most of it in the heat of the moment.
The angel's worn off.
I can't hate Pam.
She must love him very, very much.
She always has.
I guess we both would've done most anything for him.
Yeah, some women are like that about their men.
JENNA: I know how much you're hurting, Ray.
There's something else.
I've decided to keep the baby.
Well, that is some news worth celebrating.
You never said what you felt about abortion...
but I think I know a little bit about you too.
I'm easy. What you see is what you get.
Hello, Cliff.
Oh, Jamie. What are you doing here?
Don't tell me.
You came here to rub salt in my wounds.
That's not true.
No, well, let me guess, then.
You came to let me know what you figure on getting in the divorce.
- Greed has never been my style. - Well, what is it? I'm a busy man.
- You look terrible, Cliff. - Oh, thank you very much. I feel terrible.
I think I may have a solution to your problem with .
[CLIFF LAUGHS]
CLIFF: Really?
You mean, Miss Know-It-All from the Alaskan oil fields...
is gonna tell me what no expert can.
If you'll just listen and stop bullying me.
Oh, please.
I don't wanna fight. Just leave.
- Cliff, I hate to see you hurting. - Well, don't look.
I'm just glad my mother isn't alive to see me lose everything I built.
JAMIE: What would you say if I told you...
there may be a way to stop the contamination?
I would say that I don't want any advice about the oil business...
especially from a female, more especially from you.
You know, you never learn.
You have the biggest ego of any man that I've ever met.
See? I knew you came here to t*rture me.
You know, they have a name for women like you.
Don't you dare call me names.
No, no, I'm too much of a gentleman to say it to your face.
But it's the reason I couldn't perform in bed.
The reason you couldn't perform in bed is because you're a whiny boy...
who doesn't even know how to be a man.
Honey, you don't have to pack my bags.
No, but it gives me something to do besides thinking about your leaving.
When were you gonna tell me about Jenna?
You saw her?
She came by the office.
I don't think I've ever seen her quite so angry.
Bobby, I didn't mean to make things worse.
I did what I thought was right, or at least I tried to.
I understand why you did it.
You're not angry?
I'm not angry.
Are you sure?
You did it out of love.
I can understand that.
PAMELA: Bobby, I love you so much.
And I could love this baby. We could raise it as our own.
I just hope that it I'm ever put to the test, I'll do no less for you.
You know, I think I fall in love with you more every day.
You're gonna wrinkle the clothes.
Well, it's humid down in South America. They'll wrinkle anyway.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
J.R.: Sue Ellen? Teresa said you wanted to see me.
Good evening.
Well, what is it this time?
Another one of your phony striptease shows?
You might call it show-and-tell.
Now listen, Sue Ellen. I'm fighting to hold onto Ewing Oil.
Wes Parmalee is breathing down my neck...
I am in no mood to play any of your games.
J.R., darling.
With your world as tough as it is...
you need a little amusement.
And I have just the ticket.
You stay right there.
Family entertainment has to be shared to be appreciated.
Now, this won't be airing until next week, but I wanted you to see it first.
We have a very interesting show for you today.
We have a panel...
of successful business executives. A" of them are women.
All of them have made it in a man's world.
Watching a flock of hens that can barely carry a briefcase is not my idea of fun.
J.R., will you just look and listen.
MAN [ON TV]: Our first lady is our most recent success story...
probably our most dramatic.
She has brought a woman's point of View into a male-dominated world.
Now, most of you would say a male-chauvinist world.
But this lady, in a remarkably short period of time...
has taken a struggling hale-in-the-wall business...
and turned it into a big, big Moneymaker.
And catapulted one very happy young model...
into fame, fortune and Hollywood.
The owner and the creative force behind Valentine Lingerie, Sue Ellen Ewing.
That was brilliant, Sue Ellen.
My compliments.
I had a great teacher.
Yes.
Morning, Miss Ellie.
ELLIE: Ray.
Morning.
BOBBY: Mama.
Look, I understand how you feel...
but I hope you can at least wish me good luck.
I'll play for your safe return, Bobby.
But that's all.
You got a stake in this too, Mama.
Don't you care?
I care about the truth.
I don't care about a witch-hunt.
If Bobby can't find anything in South America...
and none of us can prove that Parmalee is a fraud...
what are you gonna do?
What's that supposed to mean?
BOBBY: He means, Mama...
if we can't prove Wes Parmalee is lying...
are you gonna bring him into this house? As your husband?
J.R.: Because if that's the case...
I'll be moving out of here. I think I speak for Bobby too.
BOBBY: I won't live under the same roof as that man, Mama.
J.R.: Is that what you want, Mama?
For us to move out? Take your grandsons with us?
Don't you thr*aten me.
And have you discussed this with your wives...
or don't they have any say in this?
I, for one, love it here at Southfork.
I wouldn't consider living anywhere else.
I can.
But I hope it doesn't come to that.
Mama. I don't wanna leave Southfork...
but I don't wanna be put in the position to have to choose either.
Now, you married a good man in Clayton.
It'd be a serious mistake to let him go.
Amen to that.
Miss Ellie.
Anything I can do?
No.
I think you've all done quite enough.
Hello, Clay.
Ellie.
How are you?
Been riding a lot.
Ray has a fine place here for horses.
Then you're getting along all right.
What do you think?
Southfork's awfully big and empty without you.
I missed you too.
Never did like living alone.
I didn't like it before I met you, and I don't like it now.
It doesn't have to be that way.
Oh?
Have you decided what you wanna do?
No.
Then nothing's changed, has it?
Clayton?
I do love you.
And I love you.
But that's not what this is all about, is it?
Clayton...
I've been married to Jock for over years.
We'd been on our second honeymoon just before he went to South America.
They never found his body.
Can you imagine what that's like?
It's like...
Like a soldier missing in action.
And all they find are the dog tags.
It was a long time before I...
I could accept that he was dead.
And now...
if this man is... Is Jock...
and he's not missing... or dead...
how...? How can I possibly...
tum away from him?
What about since Jock?
Don't the years we had count for anything?
Oh, God, yes. Yes, of course they do.
- I've been very, very happy. - Well, then don't throw them away.
Even if Jock is alive, and I don't believe that he is...
your life with him is in the past.
An unfinished past.
We never got to say goodbye.
But you've all gone on with your lives.
Your boys accept me. They respect me.
And we both know that they would never accept Parmalee as their father.
They have their thinking and I have my thinking.
Remember one thing, Ellie.
I moved out of the house...
not out of your life.
Maybe you gave me more room than I wanted.
PAMELA: Cliff, you are the only person I know who puts up a neon sign...
when you have problems.
We all have problems.
Didn't we come here to talk about your problems?
- No. I came here to solve mine. - Well, I told you not to many Bobby.
This doesn't have anything to do with my marriage. It's business.
Anyway, I've come up with the solution for those days...
when I don't have anything to do, and for your financial problems.
Well, you don't have to worry about my financial problems, I'll he broke soon.
You'll be worse than broke...
because you won't have Pam as your money-lender anymore, Cliff.
- What? - I'm not gonna sit by anymore...
while you don't involve me in the business.
Where do you get all that stuff?
Have you been reading these women's lib mags?
You listen to me or you're gonna end up on the wrong end of my patience.
I'm listening.
I want you to tum percent of Barnes-Wentworth over to me.
Are you kidding me?
In exchange for which, I will finance your future ventures.
- Are you serious? - Do I look like I'm kidding?
I really have to participate in order to be a part of the business here.
Bobby, not to mention J.R...
would have a stroke if he heard you talking like this.
Well, I'm not asking J.R. Bobby.
Yeah, but Bobby's not gonna let you run around making deals.
And especially if they're for Barnes-Wentworth.
Bobby respects a woman who does things on her own.
- He's not like you, Cliff. - Oh.
Anyway, what you need is working capital...
and that's what I'm offering you.
- For percent of Barnes-Wentworth. - So, what do you say?
What if I said no?
Then goodbye, Pam.
I'll pull out everything.
[PHONE RINGS]
- J.R. Ewing here. MAN [OVER PHONE]: B.D. Calhoun.
! gut your message from Gurdun.
I'm staring out at the morning sky...
just about the time you're ready to go to bed.
- Where are you? - Where you paid me to be.
Saudi Arabia.
No, I mean. What's your exact location?
You know I can't tell you that.
We're not even supposed to be in contact.
There's a few rules that are gonna be broken.
Wrong.
The hall's in my court.
It's my game.
I want you to abort this mission.
What? Cold feet?
I have my reasons.
Once I start something, I don't back out.
There's always a first time.
J.R., I have men and equipment in place.
Now, the only way they're leaving here is when the mission's accomplished.
I may as well tell you, I've been contacted by certain people...
you get my meaning?
Is that what's bothering you?
Hell, I told you no roads would lead to you. None.
You're safe.
Tell that to the man with the badge breathing down my neck.
What happened to your notion of getting the price of oil up?
The way things are going, I may not care about the price of oil.
No way is JR. Ewing gonna be eating prison garbage...
while other oilmen are eating steak I bought for them.
You stop what you're doing and get back here.
I gave you your chance to back out.
You didn't. It's too late.
You're trigger-happy.
- I'm patriotic. - You're gonna get in a mess of trouble.
Look for us on the headlines, J.R. The mission goes on.
You've hardly said a word since we got here.
Well, I got a lot of things on my mind.
Don't any of them include me?
In normal times, they'd all include you.
But these are not normal times.
We did come to discuss business, didn't we?
My percent of Ewing Oil?
Your possible percent.
Those big Dallas doors you said you were gonna open wide for me...
how are we gonna do that unless you buy my percent?
Whatever else you're offering.
Oh, God.
Good afternoon, J.R.
Oh, not dining with your wife, I see.
I thought this was a class establishment. How come they let trash like you in?
How is that big chair of yours over at Ewing Oil?
I can't wait to be sitting in it.
Texas will freeze in the summer before that day comes.
Don't count on it, J.R.
Your daddy's awfully anxious to sell the company.
J.R.: That fraud's not my daddy, and we both know it.
WENDELL: My goodness, I thought you would be dancing for joy...
to know that he's alive and well.
The only thing alive and well is Ewing Oil.
And I'll get that so tied up in litigation, you'll never get it.
You do (ham JR.
Either way, Ewing Oil won't be doing much business...
and that suits me fine.
Well, at least somebody got through that cool exterior of yours today.
Even if it was another oilman.
He's a vulture. He's no oilman.
Looks like you may be losing your company as well as your cool.
The only thing I'm losing is my patience, my dear.
I thought J.R. Ewing never lost his patience.
Especially in public.
Don't you worry.
One of these days, I'm gonna nail him to my wall.
Well... I must say I am disappointed.
You're not turning out to be the man I thought you were.
And my percent isn't turning out to be much either.
Oh, I'm the man you thought I was.
But I can't vouch for your percent. It may be worth nothing.
I didn't come all the way to Dallas for nothing.
Now, maybe you did, maybe you didn't.
From what I've seen, you could use an ally.
One with more feminine amm*nit*on.
Interested?
Yeah. Sure.
MAN: Nice reception you've given here. DONNA: Thank you.
Paid for, no doubt, by your friends in Texas.
DONNA: Tell me, have either of you gentlemen ever been to Texas?
No.
Isn't that where the oil business used to be?
I don't think the domestic oil crisis is something to joke about.
That's because you're from the Southwest.
If the oil business is in trouble, it's getting its just desserts.
Well, I have heard that opinion, and in a word, it's wrong.
While the oil people were riding high...
you had nothing but thumbs down for anyone else in trouble.
- And a lot of people were hurting. - I do not deny that.
Our attitude needed changing. It has changed.
Easy to say now when you need the rest of us to bail you out.
Look, gentlemen, I am in Washington to offer the other side of the coin.
I am talking about the life of the independent oil companies.
The majors will never die, but it's people like you with a short-sighted view...
that the Southwest is finally getting its comeuppance.
That's gonna cost us to lose it all because I believe...
without the independent oilman, America does not have an oil industry.
Mrs. Fallow?
How many should I set the table for?
You don't need to set the table. I'll have something in my room.
Fine.
[PHONE RINGS]
Southfork Ranch.
Yes.
One moment, please.
It's for you.
Who is it?
I think it's that Mr. Parmalee.
Thank you.
Hello?
J.R.: Well.
An interesting place to have a meeting.
We could've met at the CIA office.
Of course, you preferred somewhere more private.
I trust you don't have any secret recording devices on you.
The only thing secret is this meeting...
which you requested.
So...
what've you got for me?
B.D. Calhoun.
Would you confirm that he's on a mission in Saudi Arabia?
I'm not gonna confirm anything till we strike a deal.
What kind of a deal?
The kind of deal that keeps me from going to jail.
! getting blown away by ED. Calhoun.
You're asking for a little immunity and protection.
I'm asking for a lot of both.
I'm just loaded with information.
ELLIE: Good evening.
Nice to see you. I'm fine. Thank you very much.
- Thank you. - Look very good tonight.
Thank you.
Good evening, Ellie.
I'm... I'm still not sure about this dinner.
Dinner's later.
You and me are going for a buggy ride.
Oh, no.
It's a fine night for it.
Stars are out, the moon. Come on.
MAN: All set back there? - We're set.
Make it the long ride.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
- Brian. - Mr. Ewing.
- It's been a long time. - Yes, it has.
- Did you get that list for me? - Yes, it's right here.
It's all the Americans who were working in South America...
at the time of the accident.
- Did you contact all of them? - Well, all but six.
And what about them?
We", see, a couple of them d*ed and the other ones just dropped out of sight.
We have to track them all down. Every last one.
- Okay, well, I'll do my best. - No, Brian, I want more than your best.
I wanna talk to every single person that was here at the time of the crash.
All right.
It's none of my business why you're here...
but anything to do with Jock Ewing is. I won't let you down.
Easy. Ho.
Enjoy yourself, Miss Ellie?
It was a lovely ride.
