All language subtitles for Dallas s04e05 Taste of Success.eng

- Well. It's over.
- Yeah.

J.R.'s nearly his old self again.

Oh. I ought to kill you. J.R.!
I ought to kill you!

Oh. You did it. Didn't you?

I'm not gonna have this family
go through any more scandals.

I won't have it.
Do you understand that?

J.R. is not the president
of Ewing Oil now. I am.

The truth is, you like the power.

- It's my company. I want it back.
- I can't do that.

- What are you gonna do?
- Bring Bobby down.

I'm gonna cut him out
if I have to destroy Ewing Oil to do it.

Now. Kristin...

tell the assistant district attorney
the whole story.

The very first minute I saw J.R...

the first day I worked in the office.
I wanted him.

I tried everything.

Anything I could
to make him notice me...

want me.

But he never did.

Not once.

And I loved him so much.

This went on for weeks.

It was torture.

I begged him. I pleaded with him.

I didn't care about Sue Ellen
or anybody else.

I loved him.

But he would have nothing
to do with me.

Finally. One night. After he...

He rejected me again...

I shot him.

But you waited until now
to admit that you tried to kill Mr. Ewing.

Can you tell me why you waited?

I think it's obvious.
She was a very. Very scared young lady.

Would you answer my question. Please?
Why did you wait so long?

Go ahead. Kristin.

Tell the assistant district attorney.
Just the way you told us.

I couldn't do that to my sister.

I couldn't let her be accused
of a crime I committed.

I just couldn't do that to her.

Yet the next day.
After you shot Mr. Ewing...

you brought the gun
here to Southfork...

and hid it in a closet.
Is that correct?

- Yes.
- Where you knew it would be found?

Weren't you trying to incriminate your
sister by planting the gun in her closet?

Weren't you making sure
she'd be accused of shooting her husband?

No. I swear it.

I...

I don't even remember hiding the gun.

I was so frightened. I was in a panic.

I had no idea what I was doing.

Do you have anything else to say?

No.

I have a question.

Would the district attorney's office
go on and prosecute...

even if I refuse to sign a complaint?

Mr. Ewing. Are...? Are you saying you'll
not cooperate if I recommend charges?

That's right.

May I ask. Why?

That night in my office...

Kristin was beside herself.
She was in a panic.

She wasn't sure at all
what she was doing.

I'd say she was
in a state of temporary insanity.

And I forgive her.

Even as my wife. Her own sister.
Forgives her.

- Mr. Ewing...
- As you can see. I'm recovering very well...

so what real harm
has this poor girl done?

A trial would be a sheer waste of time.
To say nothing of the taxpayer's dollars.

And in the end. I don't think she'd get
anything more than a suspended sentence.

Could we have a moment in private.
Mr. Ewing?

Of course.

I'll never forgive myself
for all the trouble I've caused you.

Let me tell you something.

If J.R. hadn't been
the kind of a man that he is...

you'd already be in jail by now.
Kristin.

Sue Ellen. What can I say?

I doubted you and I apologize.

- It doesn't matter. Miss Ellie.
- Lt does matter.

You belong at Southfork
with J.R. and your baby.

With all of us.

Please forgive me for...
For ever thinking differently.

Everything will be just fine.

Well. Now. That didn't take long. Did it?

I'm sure you'll all be happy to hear that
Mr. Purcell agrees with me completely.

Now. The newspapers will be told that
due to a lack of conclusive evidence...

all charges against Sue Ellen
will be dropped.

And as far as the press is concerned.
They'll never know who my assailant was.

And after a decent period of time.
The case will be closed.

Right?

And finally.
The assistant district attorney...

- Mr. Purcell?
- Yeah. Martin Purcell.

Agreed completely with J.R.
There'd be no point in a trial at all.

Well. Actually. I didn't say anything
about this last night...

but I think we'll all rest easy...

knowing that Kristin won't be around
to cause J.R. any more trouble.

Kristin's leaving?

Sue Ellen and J.R. are taking her
to the airport right now.

She's headed for California.

That's the best news
we've had around here in a long time.

Well. It's over.
That's reason enough to be grateful.

J.R.'s getting stronger every day...

and Sue Ellen's home
with her husband and her baby.

- Well. I better be getting to work.
- I'll walk to the car with you.

I better get off to school.
Bye-bye. Granddaddy.

- Bye.
- Bye. Sweetheart.

- Bye. Grandma.
- Bye-bye.

You know. Miss Ellie.
I think Kristin should have gone to jail.

Well. Maybe you're right.

But I just can't understand...

why Kristin wants to fool around
with a married man. That's all.

She's got looks. She's got brains.
She's got everything going for her.

Well. At least one good thing happened.

The shock seems to have had
a dramatic effect on J.R.

He's almost back on his feet again.

Yeah. J.R.'s nearly his old self again.

But not quite.

He still has a long
convalescence ahead of him.

Well. Not if I know J.R.

He's itching to get back
in the harness again.

Jock. Bobby seems happy at the office.
Let's give him time to settle in.

Well. Miss Ellie. I can't keep J.R.
out of the office forever.

He's itching to get back to work again.

Jock. Bobby needs more time to forget
the pain that made him leave Southfork.

I'll do what I can. Miss Ellie.

Flight 19 to Los Angeles.

When you get all settled in...

you let my lawyers know
where you are...

and they'll start send you a big.
Fat check every month.

- When it's time for the baby to come...
- Not the baby. J.R.

Your baby.

We might as well be truthful.
Right. Sue Ellen?

Like your performance last night. Dear?

No. She did a wonderful job last night.
Just like we rehearsed it.

I was watching Purcell.
And he believed every word you said.

Excuse me. Mr. Ewing.
But we'll be boarding in two minutes.

I can put Miss Shepard aboard
ahead of the others.

I'd appreciate that.

- Have a nice trip.
- Why. Thank you. J.R. How very kind.

Sue Ellen. Aren't you gonna
wish me a nice trip?

I don't think you wanna hear
what I wish you. Kristin.

Miss Shepard?
Right this way. Please.

Oh.J.R...

I'll be seeing you.

Harry!

Bobby Ewing's calling on the car phone.

It's Harry Owens, Mr. Ewing.
What can I do for you?

Harry. How long will it take
to get Ewing 23 back in operation?

Oh. A month. Give or take a few days.

I want it operating
at full capacity in a week.

Do you mind if I ask. Is this J.R.'s idea?

No. Harry. This is my idea...

- as president of Ewing Oil.
- I see.

Suppose we do get
Ewing 23 operating again...

- You will.
- Where do you expect to refine?

We'd been using Fair-bridge Refinery.
Back when we were producing out here...

but Fair-bridge is running
at full capacity right now.

Well. Can't we use another refinery?

There's Main-waring. But there is no way
they'll do business with Ewing Oil.

Old man Main-waring.
He doesn't think much of J.R.

Well. Daddy always said
we needed our own refinery.

You want me to hold off?

No. Not on your life.
I want that field in operation. Fast.

You keep me posted.
Anything you can't handle. I will.

I wish those Ewing brothers
would get together.

Well. I think that was
a pretty successful morning.

For all intents and purposes.
The case is closed.

Kristin's halfway to California by now.
Think we did real well. Don't you?

Sue Ellen?

What?

You haven't said two words
all the way back from the airport.

Now. What's wrong? What is it?

That's all she had to say. Wasn't it?

When she calmly and sweetly announced
that she's carrying your child...

- you turn handsprings.
- Now. Sue Ellen...

You never doubted
that you were the father of her child.

Not for a minute.

But you sure as hell doubted
that you were the father our baby!

Keep your voice down.
Mama will be here any minute.

Oh. J.R.. I know my sister.
I know her real well.

What in hell makes you think
you're that baby's father?

- Just calm down.
- Could've been one of 12...

- One of 100 guys!
- Would you. Please?

Calm down?

Oh. You did it. Didn't you?

Didn't you. J.R.?
And then. If that isn't enough...

you offered to send her
a big. Fat check every month!

Listen to me. Sue Ellen.

I'm not gonna have this family
go through more scandals.

I won't have it.
Do you understand that?

I ought to kill your, J.R.
I ought to kill you!

Do you know how that makes me feel.
When you treat her as if she did nothing?

I hate you! I hate you!

I hate you. I hate you.

Don't touch me.

No! No!

Jim Redfield's not at his refinery
in Galveston. Bobby.

He's here in town at his hotel.

I called and told him to talk to you.
I said it was urgent.

Okay. Find Tom Selby
down in accounting...

and tell him I need a complete inventory
of Ewing OiI's assets.

- Rush?
- Just like yesterday.

Yeah?
Mr. Redfield returning your call on four.

I'll take it.

Jim. Thank you for returning my call.

- Hey. Bobby. How you doing?
- I'm fine.

Just fine. Ls that refinery of yours
in Galveston still for sale?

We've had a few nibbles.
But nothing definite.

You wanna talk about it?
Say 10:00 tomorrow morning?

Let's see.

Looks to me like tomorrow's out.
I'll be in Austin all day.

- Is it important?
- Yeah. very.

What about dinner tonight?
How about that?

I appreciate that. Buddy.
Let's say the Cattlemen's Club. 7:30.

- You bet.
- Okay. Jim. Thanks a lot.

Call the club. I want a table
where I won't be disturbed.

You promised Pam
you'd be home for dinner.

Should I call Mr. Redfield back
and set it up for later?

No. I don't have time for later. Call the
ranch. Tell them I won't be home for dinner.

And get Tom Selby. Find him and tell him
I want those inventory figures fast.

- It's this area right here.
- The Takapa area.

There's 100.000 acres
right on the Texas-Louisiana border.

You sponsor a bill
in the state legislature...

that'll turn that into
a protected state park...

- and all of Texas will be cheering you.
- How do you figure?

Because the whole world
is ecology crazy.

And protecting that land
will make Dave an instant hero.

You sure of that?

I'm not your legislative counsel
for nothing.

I promise you.
That's the smartest move you can make.

Well. It's worth thinking about.
Donna. Agree?

I trust your instincts.

Look. It's late.
I'd like a drink and I'm hungry.

- How about some dinner?
- Sorry.

I promised Luanne I'd be home by 7.

Well. I will just grab a bite
on the way home.

Hey. Wait a minute.
What about me?

Am I poison?
Do you like Mexican food?

Yes. I like Mexican food. Why?

Because I know a place very near here.
I mean. It's nothing fancy.

In fact, it's a hole in the wall,
but the chiles rellenos are great.

Is that by any chance. A...?
An invitation?

Consider it engraved.

Oh. Plus the fact you can get a whole
pitcher of margaritas for 3 bucks.

Now. How can you pass up
on a bargain like that?

Well. Who's saying no?

Oh. Mitch.

Mitch. You weren't supposed
to come home yet. I wanted to surprise you.

You did.

Are you mad?

Oh. You look so cute.
How could I be mad?

Lucy. How did you get in here?

I told the manager
I was your long-lost sister.

- Are you surprised?
- Very.

Oh. I wanted this to be
a wonderful, romantic dinner.

Only I think I might have ruined it.

Here. Taste this.

Smells good.

What is it?
I mean. What was it supposed to be?

Well. It's beef stroganoff.

Cookbook made it sound so easy.
Maybe the wine is good.

I got the wine from Southfork.
Do you think it'll be okay?

It probably costs more
than an anatomy textbook.

I guess I ruined everything.

Look...

I've got about 35 minutes
until I have to start parking cars.

What do you say I just buy us
a cheeseburger and fries at the drive-in?

Okay -

But what about all the mess?

Oh. Forget about it.

I'll clean it up later.

Oh. Mitch.
I wanted everything to be so nice for you.

It was nice.

I mean. It was really sweet of you.
Lucy. Honest.

And you were right. I was surprised.

Sam Culver was a wonderful man.

When we were married. I really grew up.

I mean. When I first met Sam...

I was sort of a know-it-all.

You know. Showing off my university
education to anybody who would listen.

- I find that hard to believe.
- Lt's true.

But I learned a lot of things
with Sam that I didn't know.

First time in my life I discovered people.

You know.
Real flesh and blood human beings.

Sam understood them.

Their hopes. Their cares.
Their dreams. Even their pain.

That's why he was the most influential man
this state has ever seen.

Because underneath
all of that wheeling and dealing...

Sam Culver cared.

Sam Culver sounds like an act
that's hard to follow.

You bet.

There hasn't been anybody since then?

Just one.

Sounds like he's still in the picture.

I don't think so.

Tell you what. Let's order something
and then I'll tell you my life story.

I'm afraid it's a matter of public record.

And I'm afraid that public record
isn't all that great.

But. You know.
I've spent a lifetime fighting corruption.

I think you mean the Ewings.

Mostly.

And mostly. I've been beaten.

You know. Cliff.
There is more in life than the Ewings.

They're a symbol
of everything that's wrong.

So were windmills to Don Quixote.

- Touch?.
- Okay. Come on. Now. Tell me the truth.

There has to be something
that means more than beating the Ewings.

There is. There's a private side.

Well. I certainly hope so.

For example. I'm partial to beautiful
ladies with a university education.

Especially if they have
money and connections.

I won't hold that against you.

So Ewing 23 will be in full operation
in less than a week.

What do you think of that?

What does that mean?

Well. For one thing.
It means a lot of money for your brother.

He shares in 50 percent of the profits
from that field.

Is that why you did it? For Cliff?

Not at all.
I happen to think Ewing Oil needs it.

I don't think you opened Ewing 23
because Ewing Oil needs it.

I think you did it to show J.R.
who's running the company.

Pam. That just isn't true.

Bobby. You opened Ewing 23
once before.

J.R. closed it down.

J.R. is not the president
of Ewing Oil now. I am.

At least until he recovers.

Oh. Come on. He has recovered.
You can't use that excuse anymore.

The truth is, you like the power
and you don't wanna lose it.

So just tell me.
Where does that leave us?

Pam. You just have to hang in there
a little while longer.

When the time's right. I'll give it up.

Believe me.

So I said to myself, I said:

�J.R.. it's just been too long...

since I've shown my wife
a little token of my affection...

and how much I love her."
and I just thought you might...

- Might like that little thing there.
- Oh. J.R.

- Oh. It's beautiful.
- You like it?

Oh. It's a beautiful present.

- Thank you.
- Well...

it's not much. But...

Oh. Look at it. Lt's gorgeous.

- Oh. It's beautiful.
- Here.

Thank you. Darling.

- Oh. Come on in. We'll go for a ride.
- All right. Take a little spin. eh?

J.R.. there's a phone call for you.

He wouldn't give his name.

Okay -

You take a little spin
around the ranch. Darling.

I'll be with you...
Pick me up in about 10 minutes.

Okay. Bye. Darling.

- Good morning. J.R.
- Hi. Bobby. How you doing?

- Pretty good. How you feeling?
- Fine.

- Yeah?
- Harry Owens, Mr. Ewing.

- What is it, Harry?
- I got a call from your brother, Bobby.

He says he wants to open
Ewing 23 again.

- He says he want it open in a week.
- Ls that a fact?

I thought you might wanna
do something about it.

Well. I...

I appreciate the information.

Thank you. Appreciate it.

- Morning. Daddy.
- Bobby.

- Mama.
- Morning. Bobby.

Thanks. Raoul.

No breakfast this morning. Raoul.

- Morning. Dad.
- Morning. J.R.. how you feeling today?

- Fine. Mama.
- J.R.

Well...

- Bob. All set for a day's work?
- Yeah. Ready for another day.

Anything new scheduled
in town today. Bobby?

Nothing unusual. Daddy. Same old stuff.

Ordinary like Ewing 23?

What the hell you talking about.
Ewing 23?

Well. Didn't Bobby tell you?
He's opening up Ewing 23 again.

Is that true. Bobby?

Yeah. Well. It must be true.

I talked to the foreman.
He said he's opening it up.

You mean to tell me
that you're opening Ewing 23?

Yes. I am. It'll be in full
operation in less than a week.

Well...

I got a date with my wife. She's driving
around in that new car I got her.

I'll see y'all. Mama.

Daddy.

Good luck with 23.

Bobby. I've told you 100 times...

I never wanna have anything
to do with Cliff Barnes again.

I'm telling you
to shut it down right now.

And you asked me to run Ewing Oil
when I didn't want to.

And I'm trying to run it
the best way I can.

If you don't like the way I'm doing things.
Give me the word and we'll be out of here.

Right now
I've got a lot of work to do in town.

- Bobby...
- No. Jock.

No. I'm gonna pound some sense
into that boy's head.

- Listen to me. Jock.
- What?

Whatever it takes.
I don't want Bobby to leave.

Here I've shown 750 million
from the sale of the Asian leases.

This 625 million is for
the natural gas wells in the east coast.

Here. This entry represents
approximately 25 million for equipment...

and over here. This represents
6 million to get Ewing 23 started again.

So when you add it all up what's the total?
How much cash do we have?

Well. Slightly over 100 million.
The exact figure's on the next page.

Hundred million dollars.
Okay. Tom. Thank you.

- I'm gonna keep this ledger.
- Of course.

- If you need anything else. Let me know.
- I will. Thank you.

Yeah?
- Mr. Lee, Mr. Luce and Mr. Bradley are here.

Send them in.

- You want me to leave?
- No. I want you to stay right where you are.

I've been waiting for this day
for a long time.

- Bradley. How are you?
- Bobby.

- Wade.
- Hi. Bobby.

- Jordan. Thanks for coming.
- Glad to oblige. Bobby.

- Tell us. How's J.R.?
- He's recovering. I'm glad to say.

Here. Sit down. Sit down.

- How soon is he coming back to work?
- Not until he's fully recovered.

So in the meantime. I'm running things.

- So let's get down to business.
- That's why we're here.

To start with. I've opened Ewing 23. lt'll
be in full operation in less than a week.

- I thought J.R. shut it down some time ago.
- He did. And I opened it up again.

Now. Where you boys come in.

I'm also buying Jim Redfield's refinery
in Galveston...

and it's a real moneymaker.

He can put 50.000 barrels a day
through that place...

and he's willing to let it go
for $200 million.

- Sounds reasonable.
- Lt's a steal.

Right now. Ewing Oil can come up
with half that price. $100 million.

- And...?
- And I wanna bring you boys in for half.

A hundred million for 50 percent.
A straight deal...

but you gotta act fast.
I told Jim I'd get right back to him.

- How much time did he give you?
- Not much.

That's why this has to be
a take-it-or-leave-it proposition.

So. What do you say?

- Jordan. You wanna speak for us?
- Lf you like.

All right. Jordan. What do you say?

Now. What we got to say
is short and sweet. Bobby.

When you called us.
We came out of sheer curiosity.

- I must say. It's been worth it.
- I told you. It's a can't-miss deal.

But as for doing business
with Ewing Oil...

we seem to remember
that little Asian deal J.R. set up.

You remember that. Bobby?

The direct cause of one good man's suicide
and the bankruptcy of another.

Now. Wait a minute, boys. You're dealing
with me now. Not my brother.

It seems to us we're still dealing
with Ewing Oil...

so the answer is no. Bobby.
You want it stronger than that?

No way. Ever.

But we sure do thank you
for this interesting meeting.

Bobby. I'm sorry.

Funny thing is.
I thought bringing them in on this deal...

would help patch things up
between us and the Cartel.

Does this mean the deaI's off?

Hell. No. I want a refinery.

Louella. Get me Franklin Horner
at the bank.

Yes, sir.

You all right?

Yeah. Why?

You're riding awful hard. That usually
means you got something on your mind.

- You know me real good. Don't you?
- Yes. Sir.

Well. It's Bobby and J.R.

- I thought Bobby was working out all right.
- Well. He is.

Of course. He's got a lot to learn.

- But that's not the problem.
- Well. What is the problem. Then?

Well. You know J.R. likes being president.

He's about ready to go back to work
as you can see.

So?

Gonna be a clash between those two boys.
Some kind of explosion.

And I'll be damned
if I know what to do about it.

I just wish that there was some way
that I could get those two boys together.

You know. Work side by side.

Well. There ain't no way.
You know that as well as I do. Jock.

Yeah. I know...

but that's not the worst part of it.

After the clash.
Bobby may pull out and leave Dallas.

And if that happens...

well. Miss Ellie's gonna blame me.

And so help me...

I...

I just don't know
what I can do about it.

I'll see you.

Liz. What a surprise.

- Would you like a drink?
- Yeah. I'll have a scotch.

Now. What brings you
way out here to Southfork?

You know perfectly well.
I couldn't wait to hear what you decided.

Well? You gonna come back
to work at the store?

I haven't thought about anything else
since you mentioned it.

And?

It's obvious that Bobby and I
are gonna be staying in Dallas.

.50..
- No water for me.

I'd rather spend my time
doing something I really enjoy.

Oh. Pam. I'm so glad.

- How soon do you wanna start?
- As soon as possible.

- Dad.
- J.R.

- Get you your usual?
- Man. I can sure use one.

How you been feeling today?

Yeah. You couldn't have asked me that
at a better time.

I feel like my old self again, Dad.

Sure glad to hear that.

As a matter of fact.
I'd like to go back to work again.

Thanks.

That is unless, of course.
You got some special reason...

for keeping Bobby as president
of Ewing Oil.

No. No. Lt's not that. J.R.
I'm just worried about you. That's all.

I just think that you ought
to take it easy for a while.

I'd like to go back to work.

And I think that deserves an answer.

Yes. It does.

I'm listening.

Look. J.R...

Bobby didn't wanna take this job over.
He did it because I asked him.

I agreed to let him run the company
the way he saw fit.

And he did just that.

- Dad...
- No. Just... Just bear me out.

Bobby did a damn fine job.

Now. Don't you think that I owe it to him
to let him run the company a while longer?

Where does that leave me?

It's my company.

I want it back.

I can't do that.

You just don't understand. Dr. Elby.
It's different. He's different.

Nobody changes that much. Sue Ellen.

You're making it sound as if everything's
gonna be perfect from now on.

Knowing your and J.R.'s life together.
I'd say you're being unduly optimistic.

Well. I don't think so.

Ever since J.R. got back from the hospital.
We've become very close.

Closer than we've ever been before.
And nothing's ever gonna change that.

Not even Kristin?

That's over now. Lt's finished.

Not quite.

She is carrying your husband's child.

Kristin is in California
and J.R. does not want her back.

And as far as I'm concerned.
She's out of our lives.

You think distance alters your feelings
about her and J.R.?

Must we continually discuss my sister?

As far as I'm concerned. She's a
totally unimportant part of our lives.

What is important is that J.R. and I
have found each other again.

And we are very happy.

Sue Ellen. A few weeks ago
you wanted to kill him.

What happened to those feelings?

He's a totally different person now
and so am I.

You know. Dr. Elby.
Yesterday afternoon J.R. and I made love.

And he was more passionate.
More caring...

more giving than I ever dreamed
that he could be.

And nothing ever
is going to come between us again.

How can you be so sure?

Because I won't let it.

You got it, John Ross.
You want some more?

Come on. John Ross.
Cheer up your old daddy. Huh?

- Hello.
- J.R.. Franklin Horner here.

Franklin. How you doing?

Oh. I'm doing fine. J.R..
But how about you. How you doing?

Oh. I'm fine.
Be good as new in a couple of weeks.

Oh. I'm glad to hear it.

J.R.. Bobby just called.
He wants a meeting.

- Well. Did he say what it's about?
- No. But I assume it's for a loan.

What do you want me to do?

Like I told you. Franklin.
No loans for Bobby Ewing.

It's gonna be tough. J.R.
I can keep trying to stall him...

I don't care how you handle it, Franklin...

but if you wanna do business
in the future with J.R...

you make sure that Bobby doesn't get
one cent. Understand me?

- Right. J.R.
- All right. That little matter's out of the way.

Give my best to your little lady.

I sure will. J.R. Thank you.

Okay. Bud. Bye-bye.

And that. John Ross. Is how you
protect what is rightfully yours.

Nobody's gonna get Ewing Oil
away from us.

Not Uncle Bobby...

not anybody.

Daddy has wanted a refinery
as far back as I can remember.

And Redfield's is for sale
at a very good price.

Now. The time to act is right now.

Especially since I need a place to refine
all the oil I'm pulling out of Ewing 23.

Refining is new territory for Ewing Oil.
Why get into that?

You don't have to own the refinery
to use it.

That's fine for the immediate problem.

But. Franklin. I'm looking to the future.
And his offer's too good to pass up.

- What's he asking?
- Two hundred million dollars.

- I see.
- I can come up with half that now...

I need the other 100 million
from your bank.

- Okay. Let me think it over.
- There's not time for that.

Redfield wants to sell now.
He won't wait.

Time is always a factor. Bobby.

Franklin. You and I
have had our problems in the past...

but I want you to know.
This is a whole-new ball game.

May I just ask...

has J.R. or your father
approved this purchase?

- They don't have to.
- Bobby. My bank values the Ewing account.

- You know that. But...
- Lf you value our business. Then prove it.

I wish it were that simple.

In the final analysis. A bank lends
this kind of money not only on security...

but on a man's record and experience.
In your case...

In my case. I have none.

- I'm sorry. But it's that simple.
- Franklin.

- Yes?
- Take your bank and stuff it.

Mitch. How much longer
do you have to study?

I just asked you how much longer
you have to study.

Honestly?

The rest of my life.

Well. Then I might as well go home.

I'm sorry. What?

Nothing.

Are you sure there isn't anything I can do
to change your mind?

- Are you sure?
- Positive.

Mitch.

Mama. What are you doing up?

Well. I was about
to ask you the same thing.

I couldn't sleep.

You worried about anything?

I guess that kind of
goes with the territory.

You can't run a company like Ewing Oil
without worrying sometimes.

Is it worth it. Bobby?

You know. I used to look down my nose
at the whole operation.

The wheeling and the dealing...

and I could never understand what Daddy
and J.R. found so exciting about it.

But I do now.

It's interesting. I find it stimulating.

You're surprised to hear me say that.
Aren't you?

A little.

I used to think only J.R.
was the true Ewing.

That you and Gary were all Southworth.

- And now?
- Well...

now I see qualities from both sides.

Well. I wanna do
what's best for the family. Mama...

Ewing Oil...

and for the people
we do business with.

If that's possible.

Use your own conscience. Bobby.

- In all things.
- I'll try.

I'll try.

Let's go inside.

I gave you my word at dinner. Bobby.

If you wanna buy my refinery.
If you can come up with the money...

- it's yours.
- I appreciate that. Jim.

So. What's the but?

I told you. I gotta move fast.
And the but is...

I have another offer.

Two hundred million?

And I promised him
I'd let him know by noon tomorrow.

I don't suppose I have to ask you
who made that offer.

Jordan Lee and the Cartel.

Bobby. I'm still protecting you.
Until noon tomorrow.

Well. Thank you. Buddy.
I'll see what I can do.

- And. Look. I hope you can swing it.
- Well. Believe me. I'm gonna try.

- He's got a matching offer.
- Your friends from the Cartel?

I have to let him know
by noon tomorrow.

I went to the Cartel first.
I've been to the bank...

and I cannot raise
another $100 million.

What are you gonna do?

Hell. There are other banks.

Les Crowley at People's Lonestar has been
trying to get Ewing business for years.

I've got more than enough
Ewing assets to borrow against.

Lam gonna do it.
I'm gonna buy myself a refinery.

Get Les Crowley on the phone for me.
Would you?

I don't mind saying. Bobby.
This bank would consider it a pleasure...

A real pleasure
doing business with Ewing Oil.

Good. And I want you to know that I intend
for this to be mutually beneficial.

It will be.
Now. What can we do for you?

I'm gonna buy a refinery.
I need a loan.

- All right. How much?
- Two hundred million dollars.

Now. I'm gonna transfer
$100 million cash to People's Lonestar...

and I'll borrow against that
at the prime rate.

But the second 100 million...

These properties are worth that much.
But I don't have time to sell them myself.

So I want you to do it.
I need to borrow against it now.

You can redeposit the proceeds
as collateral.

Absolutely. Give me a couple of days.
You'll have your 200 million.

Les. I don't have a couple of days.
If I did. I'd sell them myself.

Now. You're gonna make commission on this
sale, plus interest on $200 million.

- Let me see what I can do.
- I want this deal wrapped up by tonight.

When you're done. Call me at the ranch.
I don't care how late it is.

I wanna make sure
I did the right thing here.

- Oh. You have. Bobby.
- Okay.

- How about a little touch. J.R.?
- On its way. Daddy. On its way.

Well. It's like old times. Isn't it?

The Ewing men having a quick one while
they wait for the ladies to come down.

Well. What big deal
did you pull off today. Bobby?

Oil refinery. Wasn't it?

Seems like you got shot down twice.

Tried to get money from the Cartel
and they told you where to go...

and old Franklin Horner
just flat turned you down.

- Isn't that right?
- Yeah. That's right, J.R.

I can't say I'm surprised you know that.
What are you doing. Bugging my office?

No. That's not necessary.
I've got friends that keep me informed.

Jock Ewing here.

Bobby? Yeah. He's here.

- Somebody named Les Crowley.
- Les.

Hi. Thanks for calling.

- Who is Les Crowley?
- I believe he's a banker, Daddy.

- Never heard of him.
- No reason you should. He's not our kind.

That's terrific! Yeah. Thanks for calling.

- Well. I did it.
- Did what?

I put the deal together.

Well. Maybe if you told Daddy and me what
kind of deal, we could get excited too.

Yeah. Just what the hell
you talking about?

I... Pam. I did it.
I bought the refinery.

Daddy. The Ewings have their own refinery.
Just like you always wanted.

It's Jim Redfield's.
Come on. We're gonna go out and celebrate.

Do you know what Bobby did. Huh?
Do you realize what he has done?

Of course. Darling.
He opened up Ewing 23.

Ewing 23. that's nothing.
He bought a refinery!

- J.R.. just calm down...
- Calm down?

Don't you realize what this means to me?
He's done something I never could do.

He bought a refinery.
I don't know where he got his money...

but I'm gonna find out
and somebody's gonna pay for it!

- What are you gonna do?
- I'm gonna bring Bobby down.

I'm gonna cut him out
if I have to destroy Ewing Oil to do it.
