There's only one man that's going behind bars.
It's J.R. Ewing.
You're guilty as sin.
We're not gonna let you ruin the good name of Ewing.
You got another thing coming.
From everything I've seen, Bobby is just as involved as J.R.
No buts about it. You get your butt back to Dallas.
You made a fool of me J.R., this time. I'll have to see it doesn't happen again.
I want revenge.
You're both on your own now.
And as far as Ewing Oil goes...
it should have d*ed with your daddy.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Aren't you gonna invite me in?
Of course.
WENDELL: Oh, that's a nice thought.
Perhaps after we do our business.
I was very pleased to hear the outcome of that trial today.
Things could not have turned out better.
For both of us.
What do you mean, for both of us?
You get what you want, being independently wealthy.
I get my percent of Ewing Oil.
I must admit...
that being rich was one of the goals.
Was?
What kind of game are you playing now?
Well, it you're too thick to figure that out...
I guess I'll have to tell you.
Wendell, you just flat underestimated me.
Looks like I underestimated her.
Now you're seeing the light.
All that time you thought she was working for you, feeding information.
That information was coming straight from me.
-Her percent, I suppose... J.R.: You guessed it.
Right back where it belongs, in Ewing hands.
Say...
you wanna stick around? Help celebrate?
I don't think so, thank you.
Don't celebrate too hard, J.R.
You won the battle but the w*r is far from over.
Next time you make a thr*at...
you ought to pick on somebody like Cliff Barnes. He's more your speed.
He knows how to lose.
Because it'll be a cold day in hell before you ever own a piece of Ewing Oil.
You made a fool of me.
I will have to try to see it doesn't happen again.
You know what?
You never hear winners complaining.
Do you?
BOBBY: Thank you.
I'm so mad at Cliff.
He doesn't deserve that percent.
Well, you're not gonna get any argument from me.
I know Jamie wouldn't have wanted it that way.
It's just not fair.
Honey, there's nothing we can do about it now.
- I know, but... - Mm. No buts.
Now let's change the subject, all right.
Well, I think that's gonna be hard to do.
Oh, fine.
- Cliff. - Huh?
Think twice before you start anything. I am not in the mood.
I'm not going to start anything. And I'm the one that should be upset.
I had percent until you took away.
But that's okay, doesn't matter because I decided is enough.
I can't believe you just said that. You don't deserve any of it.
That's what you say. And I don't think that way.
Maybe I don't deserve it the way I got it from Jamie.
And maybe she didn't want me to have it.
But the Lord works in mysterious ways.
And what I ended up with is long overdue to the Barnes family.
BOBBY: Cliff, I think it's time you left, right now.
I don't wanna leave until I finish saying what I wanna say.
Then get it over with.
CLIFF: As I was saying...
now that Digger's chickens have come home...
I don't want either of you to ever ask to buy my percent.
Because the answer will always be no.
You may be able to tum your back on Digger...
but don't ever ask me to dishonor my daddy's name.
That's something I will never ever do.
Not even for you.
I'm sorry, Bobby. I don't wanna stay here.
Can we go home?
Sure.
WOMAN [OVER INTERCOM]: Doctor Jacobs, please call the main operator.
Donna.
Donna?
Hi, Ray.
How do you feel?
Skinny.
Skinnier.
But I feel good.
Well, I'm just glad everything went so well.
Wait until you see her.
She's got...
ten little fingers... and ten little toes.
Thank God, she's healthy as can be.
Yeah, knock on wood.
Well, when do I get to see her?
Well, right now.
I'll just call...
and have somebody bring her up.
Hi, this is...
Yeah. Yeah, it's me again.
Could you have somebody bring Margaret back up?
Well, he! daddy's here and he'd like to see her.
Thank you.
She's on her way.
Margaret?
- Yeah. - You named her after my mother?
Well, I always wanted to...
if it was a girl.
I hope you don't mind.
No, of course I don't mind. I think it's wonderful.
How much did she weigh?
Six pounds, ounces.
NURSE: Here she is.
You must be the proud father?
Well, here you go, daddy.
I'll just be outside for a minute.
Donna, she's beautiful.
Little Margaret...
is a little angel.
I'm your daddy. I'm gonna be here with you the next couple of days.
Until you get out of the hospital.
If that's all right with your mama.
You can see her any time you want to.
Yeah, you little sweetheart, she says I can see you...
all the time.
You are so sweet.
Little sweetie.
Hello.
Oh, she's so cute.
SUE ELLEN: What's wrong?
They're what's wrong. Them. Them elite.
It's just" It's... It just doesn't work.
Uh, girls, could you go in the changing room, please?
Now, what exactly is wrong with them?
[DOOR SHUTS]
The same thing that's wrong with all of them. They're not Mandy Winger.
Every company has their version of the Valentine Girl.
- They don't have Mandy Winger either. - We're not every other company.
Earlier this year, we were the number one lingerie company in Texas.
And as soon as we lost Mandy Winger, our rapidly-expanding empire hit the fan.
- It isn't that bad. - It's worse.
I know I only own percent of the company.
But it means a lot to me.
When I first started out in the lingerie business...
I was nothing more than a schlock merchant.
And I always thought I would be.
And then, one eventful day...
you came through my door, Mrs. Ewing.
And you changed my life around.
You made Valentine Lingerie what it is today.
One of the number one lingerie companies in the country.
And I like it.
I really like it.
It feels good.
And I thought you liked it too.
Please, Mrs. Ewing.
Don't send me back to what I was.
I don't think I could take it.
I never thought that you would be willing to settle for second best.
I never settle for second best.
I have you for a partner, don't I?
Well, that's true.
But the fact still remains.
If you wanna be number one...
you have got to get back Mandy Winger.
[PHONE RINGING]
I'll get it, Mom.
-Hello. RAY: Hello, Jenna.
- Ray, how are you? - Mom.
Let me talk to him before you hang up.
Yeah, we're doing fine.
How's Donna?
She's fine.
- You'll never guess what. - What?
Donna named the baby Margaret, after my mother.
Well, that's nice.
And how long will you be staying?
Oh, a couple of days, I suppose.
Oh, you ought to see the baby.
Jenna, she is beautiful.
I'm sure she is.
Look, Ray.
Why don't you get a good night's sleep and give me a call tomorrow?
Yeah, I guess I am kind of tired.
Well, good night. Say good night to Charlie.
Good night, Ray.
So...
Mighty J.R. Ewing's made a slip.
- Have a good day at school, John. - I will, Daddy.
- You're gonna be late. - We'll get him there on time.
Come on, boys. Come on.
CLAYTON: Good morning, Harv. HARVEY: Clayton.
-More coffee, Mrs. Fallow? ELLIE: Yes. Thanks.
What brings you here, Harvey?
Sony to disturb you this early but...
- You boys seen the morning paper? - No. Not yet.
Just listen to this.
The Dallas Press picked this up from a little paper in Navarro County.
“Secret documents made available to this paper show conclusively...
that the Ewing Oil company was involved with t*rror1st B.D. Calhoun...
in a t*rror1st-for-hire scheme...
to blow up foreign oil fields.“
Shall I go any further?
Let me see that.
How can they get away with printing this?
They can't.
If it's all right with you boys, I'll start drawing up a lawsuit.
J.R., I think you and I better take a trip down to Navarro County.
Talk to the editor of that paper.
Right away. I'll call you as soon as we get there.
HARVEY: I'll be waiting.
Bobby, why are you going?
Well, honey, I can hardly sit back and do nothing.
J.R. caused the trouble. Let him fix it.
BOBBY: I know how you feel about all this, but it's my company too.
I know that.
-Can we discuss this when I get back? J.R.: Come on, Bob, let's go.
Well, Sue Ellen, now it's all over the newspapers.
You can't defend him this time.
Him?
You mean J.R.?
I think you better look a little bit closer at your own husband.
From everything I've seen, Bobby is just as involved as J.R.
Maybe not from the beginning.
But from the way I see it, they're like two peas in a pod.
DOWLING: Ray. RAY: Senator.
DOWLING: Good to see you. Sit down.
Well, congratulations.
Your daughter, she's beautiful.
Oh, yeah.
Thanks.
I appreciate you taking the time out to see me today.
WAITER: Can I get you anything from the bar, sir?
-Beer will be fine. WAITER: Thank you.
This isn't exactly the easiest thing I've ever done.
But I want you to know something.
Just because Donna and I split up...
don't think that I don't care about her.
Because I do.
Ray, I'd be surprised if you didn't.
I care about her too.
It seems that way.
From what I can tell, she's very fond of you too.
What I was wondering was... exactly what...
My intentions are?
Yeah. That's it, I guess.
Given that beautiful little daughter of yours...
I'd say you had a right to know.
I'd say.
Frankly, Ray, I don't know what's going to happen.
Donna's a wonderful woman.
And an honorable woman.
And I'd be proud to have her for a wife.
And one of these days, I'll probably ask her to be my wife.
Well, look, I don't mean to interfere.
Ray, I understand. You're concerned about little Margaret.
That's right.
And how she's raised means a great deal to me.
I want you to know...
that I'm her daddy.
And I will never let anybody push me out of her life.
Ray, I want you to know...
that I'd never dream of doing anything like that.
Well.
What do you think?
Did I pass muster?
I've seen worse.
So have I.
BOBBY: Mr. Harrigan in here? MILDRED: You can't walk in there.
J.R.: Oh, yeah. MILDRED: Wait, I said.
- Hold on. - Harrigan?
- That's right. - I'm sorry, sir.
It's all right, Mildred. From the pictures I've seen...
- I have a feeling your name is Ewing. - Yeah, that's right.
You're damn right it is. You're gonna learn what the name Ewing means.
Where do you get off printing all those lies?
- Lies? - You got a hell of an imagination, fella.
Oh, you never knew B.D. Calhoun?
You never made a deal with him?
You never financed his trip to Saudi Arabia?
You better have proof to back those accusations.
If you don't, our lawyer's gonna rake you across the coals.
Every word we printed was the truth.
If you think we're gonna let you ruin the good name of Ewing...
- you better think again. - You're guilty as sin, you know it.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be here.
- What do you want anyway? - We want a retraction.
BOBBY: Look, Mr. Harrigan...
be reasonable. A suit like this can hurt a lot of people.
You don't want that, neither do we.
If you print any more articles like this...
You won't have to worry about that now.
What do you mean by that?
What do I mean? The CIA denied everything.
Since I'm not some powerful newspaper...
that can go around spending time and money finding out what happened...
- I guess the story will die here. - So there won't be any more articles?
Unfortunately.
J.R.: Well, you may not know it but the CIA did you a big favor, fella.
I don't understand how you could have printed this in the first place.
My family built Texas into the state it is right now.
- And this is the thanks we get for it? - Thanks? You want thanks?
What for? Putting halt this county on the unemployment line?
Frankly, Mr. Ewing. I think you're full of hot air.
I've lived all my life in Navarro County.
People treated Ewing Oil fair and square.
One hand washed the other, I'm not denying that.
But the minute there was trouble, you shutdown the oil wells.
You turned this place into a ghost town overnight.
-We didn't have any choice. HARRIGAN: No.
We didn't have any choice.
You just go play your violins somewhere else.
Nobody around here wants to hear it.
[DOOR KNOCKS]
NANCY: Alfred.
Open the door. Why'd you lock it?
Did you see it?
They printed everything. Did you see it?
The Ewings are finally gonna get what they deserve because of us.
[GASPS]
I'm afraid not, Mrs. Scotfield.
Who are you?
Alfred, who's he?
Leo Daltry. I'm with the company.
You're gonna give up this crusade against the Ewings.
It's too late. Everything's already been published.
Yes. Unfortunately, we didn't catch it in time.
But I assure you there won't be a follow-up story.
We had a little talk with the editor.
And once we proved to Harrigan the documents you gave him were false...
he decided to cooperate.
What do you mean false?
They weren't false.
Let me...
Let me point something out to you.
What you and your brother did...
was a federal offense.
Stealing CIA documents.
You both could end up in a federal penitentiary.
Who would take care of your children then, Mrs. Scotfield?
Think about it.
Does that mean...
that you're gonna prosecute us?
Well, not if it stops right now.
Do you understand?
Yes, sir.
I get the picture.
HOSTESS: Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Fallow.
Your table's ready. This way, please.
ELLIE: Thank you, go on ahead.
-How have you been? HOSTESS: Just fine, thank you.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
And Cassie will be right over.
Well, lookie here. Heh, heh.
-You wanna know what I think? MAN : What?
I think they got a lot of gall.
You bet they do. I can't believe them coming in here.
MAN : Some people got no sense of shame at all.
MAN : Who do they take themselves for?
If I was member of that family, I'd put a mask on...
before I'd venture out on the street.
[LAUGHING]
MAN : What? Did I say something funny? MAN : You sure did.
- Don't pay attention to them, Clayton. - Don't worry about it. Don't worry.
CLAYTON: Excuse me.
My wife and I are trying to enjoy eating out tonight.
But you boys seem to have some problem with that.
Well, maybe we do, mister.
Well, if you have something to say just say it out loud.
But say it like a man and say it to me.
Don't mumble behind my wife's back.
Well, all right, if you really want to know.
We think it's damn arrogant of y'all to show your face in here.
After the way the Ewings have...
disgraced the good name of Texas oilmen.
All right, you had your say.
Now it you want to continue this conversation outside...
I'd be happy to oblige you.
Otherwise, why don't you just shut up?
And leave us alone.
Yeah.
Going outside with you wouldn't prove nothing.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Well, I don't have to eat in the same restaurant with you.
Come on, boys.
Let's go. I lost my appetite.
Well, sorry, Ellie.
I just cannot abide people that are loud and rude.
Well, to an extent, they're right.
This time JR. has gone loo ht.
And Bobby too.
Clayton, let's just get out of here.
No, no, no. We came here to have dinner, that's what we're gonna have.
And we will stay in town tonight.
I don't think I could...
stomach J.R. right now.
All right, Clayton.
Bobby, it doesn't matter. Now we can get on with business.
Oh, I know, but...
PAMELA: What happened? - Just like we figured...
a little misunderstanding.
We got it all straightened out.
You mean you got out of it?
I don't believe it. Who'd you pay off this time?
Honey, that's not what happened.
It doesn't matter what happened, does it?
Because you can bet, if it's J.R., he'll get out of it, no matter who it hurts.
BOBBY: Would you listen to me? - Bobby, I don't wanna hear it.
If you're gonna give me J.R.'s cover-up story, I don't wanna hear it.
And if you're gonna stick up for him, I don't have to sit here and listen to it.
Well... she's just as touchy as ever.
Well, it's very hard for her to see Bobby less than perfect.
How do you feel about it?
J.R., you probably did what you thought was right at the time.
But it's not Ewing Oil I care about.
It's us.
You and I have been close! In the last months...
than we have in years.
And as long as that continues...
you won't hear any complaints from me.
- Pam. - Oh, Bobby, please.
Look, I am not trying to defend J.R.
This is a complicated situation.
I know you did what you thought was right.
- You don't seem to understand that. - It doesn't matter.
Of course it matters.
It doesn't matter between you and me.
I just don't want to fight anymore.
Look, I... I know how difficult the whole of this is for you.
Well, I'll get over it. I mean, it's life with the Ewings, isn't it?
- And I should be used to it by now. - Pam, listen.
Bobby, I love you.
And I don't want to argue.
And I don't want to talk about it anymore.
[CAMERA CLICKING]
DAVID: That's it. Very nice.
Okay, hold that.
Beautiful.
Mandy, relax for a moment.
Tina, move the strobe behind the plant...
so we can get a shadow on the background.
David, hold on a second.
DAVID: Sure. - Can you give me five"? No, not now.
VALENTINE: Well.
Well, you look as pretty as the day you left Dallas.
-Pretty. DAVID: Check all the Strobes.
Mr. Valentine, what are you doing here?
Well, to tell you the truth, darling. I'm here to bring you back.
- Bring me back? - You heard me.
We get big plans for you.
Yes, well, I have big plans too.
And they sure don't include lingerie.
Well, now how can you say that after all we've done for you?
Look, darling.
Things aren't going so good right now and...
And we need you back.
Does Sue Ellen feel the same way?
Well, Mrs. Ewing is just as stubborn as ever.
But I know what's good for Valentine Lingerie.
Even if she doesn't.
And we need you back.
I don't know. I've get other plans new and...
You do what you have to do, darling.
Just get yourself back to Dallas.
Don't you worry about Mrs. Ewing.
I'll bring her around.
I'm just not sure...
We weren't sure when we made you the Valentine Girl.
But it worked out all right for you, didn't it?
You're doing just fine. Thanks to us.
Don't you think you owe us something?
Yeah, well, I suppose I do.
- But... - No buts about it.
You just get your butt back to Dallas and soon.
I'll see what I can do about it.
All right.
Thank you.
-Hello, Phyllis. PHYLLIS: Hello, Mrs. Ewing.
-Is J.R. in his office? PHYLLIS: Yes, he is but...
J.R.: Say, I'll get back to you.
Mama, what brings you here?
Sit down, J.R., where I can see you. And get your brother in here.
[GRUNTS]
I'll... Something the matter?
Now, JR.
Okay.
-Bobby. BOBBY: Yeah?
Mama's in my office. She wants to talk.
- Could you come in here a minute? - I'll be right in.
Mama, J.R., what's going on?
Sit down, Bobby.
I wanna talk to you and J.R.
Sure.
I...
I always thought that no matter what happened...
I'd always stand by my family.
It was always that way with the Ewings, always the family against all outsiders.
We always stuck up for each other.
Even when we knew we were wrong.
But no more.
It's gone too far.
And I... I won't defend either of you any longer.
I can't.
Mama, what do you mean?
I've...
I've thought about this a lot.
And believe me, this is...
one of the hardest things...
that I've ever had to say.
But as far as I'm concerned...
you two don't deserve... to own Ewing Oil.
Well, Mama, this is Daddy's company you're talking about.
Don't you ever...
ever speak his name in front of me again.
You dishonored his name.
And his company.
And I guess that's what hurts me the most.
Because your daddy...
would have been so ashamed of you.
I know he would.
Because I...
I sure as hell am.
Well, Mama, I know you're upset...
but can't we talk this over?
I have nothing more to say.
You're both on your own now.
And as far as Ewing Oil goes...
it should have d*ed with your daddy.
It would have saved us all a lot of trouble.
CHRISTOPHER: After dinner you wanna come upstairs...
play with the stuff Mommy bought me?
Sure.
I guess so.
Daddy?
Yes, son?
What's wrong, Daddy?
Nothing, everything's fine.
Why was it so quiet at dinner tonight?
Is Grandma mad at you?
[CHUCKLES]
Yeah, you might say that your grandma is mad at me a little bit right now.
Why, Daddy?
What happened?
Come here, boy. I wanna talk to you.
Hop on.
I wanna tell you something.
I want you to try and understand.
I tried to do something.
And it just didn't work out.
And your grandmother is not the only person...
that's a little bit upset with me right now.
You might be hearing some bad things about your daddy at school...
so I just wanted you to know the truth before that happens.
Okay.
You see, what I did...
deep down in my heart, I did because I thought it'd be good for Ewing Oil.
And the independent Texas oilman.
But it just didn't work out the way I planned.
And a lot of people think I'm wrong.
Mommy isn't mad at you.
- Is she? - No.
No.
And we had a long talk about it.
And we came to the conclusion that...
you are the only important thing in our lives right now.
We both love you very much, sun.
I think that you're the best daddy in the whole world.
And I love you.
In Business, our top story tonight...
is the Ewing Oil-CM connection.
Is there any truth to the stories printed last week...
in the Navarro Weekly Sentinel?
Here is the Ewings' reactions to the charges that were made.
MAN: Then you deny all allegations against Ewing Oil?
You're damn right we do.
Y'all just keep watching, we'll get a retraction from that rag real soon.
I can't believe this.
What have we turned into?
All this... deception and lies.
And then more lies to try and cover everything up.
It just doesn't stop.
I've had it, Pam.
I've had it right up to my ears with J.R...
and the whole way he does things.
I'm getting out.
You're serious, aren't you?
Yes, I am.
Honey, you've been right.
You've been right all along and so has Mama.
JR. has disgraced the name of Ewing “.
And I stood right beside him and let him do it.
I'm gonna sell my shares of Ewing Oil.
Every last one of them.
They just don't mean anything anymore.
Bobby, I know how hard this is for you.
I really do, but at least we'll have a chance now at a relationship...
that doesn't include all this fighting.
That doesn't include JR.
It's exactly the way it's gonna be.
After a“ that Ewing Oil has done for the great state of Texas...
we're not gonna settle for anything short of a public apology.
MAN: Do you know what sources the story came from?
J.R.: Well, how am I supposed to know? He probably made that stuff up himself.
MAN: Then you deny all allegations against Ewing Oil.
J.R.: You're damn right we do.
My lawyers have advised me not to speak about the case.
WOMAN: Is it safe to assume there'll be no follow-up on last week's article?
Yes, very safe.
And are you, as the Ewings asked, going to make a public apology?
I will say what I printed was printed in good faith.
If there was any wrongdoing...
it was that I was the victim of unreliable information.
- That's all I have to say. - One more ques...
[INTERCOM BUZZES]
Yes?
SECRETARY: There's Mandy Winger here to see you, Mrs. Ewing.
Give me a minute and then show her in, will you?
Yes, ma'am.
Sue Ellen.
Mandy.
You look fabulous.
Oh, thanks, I've had a wonderful couple of months.
Thanks to you.
Bruce Harvey told me that the picture was great.
But what are you doing in Dallas?
Didn't Mr. Valentine tell you?
No.
Oh. Well, he came out to Hollywood to tell me that you needed me back.
He did what?
This is really embarrassing.
Yesterday, he came out to tell me...
that the business wasn't doing too well...
and maybe if I did an ad for you...
that it would help you out.
And with all you've done for me.
Well, I just hopped right on a plane and here I am.
Please, sit down.
I don't understand why he did that.
Come on, Sue Ellen.
The only thing I don't understand...
is why you didn't contact me yourself?
As soon as you needed me.
Well, it's true we haven't found...
quite the right girl to replace you yet.
Then I'll do your campaign.
Maybe you don't realize how grateful I am to you.
Well, there's really no reason for that. But...
If you can spare the time?
Come on. I'm here.
And I'm ready to work.
Okay.
Maybe we'll do one layout and see how it goes.
Okay.
Thanks.
You're really giving me a lot.
I'll be getting as much as I'm giving.
Maybe more.
Muah.
Put the glasses on.
[DOOR KNOCKS]
Who is it?
WENDELL: Mrs. Scotfield?
Who wants to know?
Have you heard of Westar Oil?
NANCY: Who hadn't?
WENDELL: Well, I run it.
My name is Jeremy Wendell.
May I come in?
Uh, just a minute.
Hey, sweetie.
Here, you just kick right there for a little bit, okay?
I'll be right back.
Come on in. I guess it's all right.
WENDELL: Thank you.
Mrs. Scotfield, I flew all the way down here to see you...
because we have something in common.
- Oh, you and me? - Yes.
We both wanna see Ewing Oil brought to its knees.
How'd you find out about me?
Mr. Harrigan was very upset about what happened.
Gave me your name in exchange for my helping him fight future lawsuits.
Lawsuits?
Well, everything I told him was true.
You know, I had this great plan worked out.
That I was gonna hurt the Ewings the way they hurt me.
Well, that's over.
With me on your side, it doesn't have to be over.
Oh, the CIA put an end to that story.
They just say it was all lies and forgeries.
I can not only prove that your story is true...
but I can see this story gets printed in every paper in the country.
Mr. Wendell, my brother is a file clerk for the CIA.
And if I make one more move against the Ewings...
they could put him behind bars for years.
Now I don't care how much I hate the Ewings...
I can't let that happen.
There's only one man...
that's going behind bars.
It's J.R. Ewing.
I promise you.
That editor of the Navarro newspaper promised me.
And Alfred still get found out.
Westar Oil has a wide circle of influence.
Wide enough to keep you and your brother out of this.
I don't think anyone can do that.
I can, otherwise I wouldn't have come all this way to see you.
You have any of the evidence left?
Well.
The CIA thought they were the only smart ones.
But I made some copies of it.
You can keep me and my brother out of this, right?
I can and I will.
My goodness.
You think you can get the Ewings?
Ewing Oil is as good as lost.
