Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,171
I can't believe you're intent
on tarnishing Dad's memory.
2
00:00:05,437 --> 00:00:08,441
- Don't you say that to me.
- I don't know how else to get through.
3
00:00:08,732 --> 00:00:10,496
I wouldn't underestimate
your mama now.
4
00:00:10,734 --> 00:00:12,418
She's angry. She's determined.
5
00:00:12,653 --> 00:00:14,940
We can't lose this. Harv.
There's too much at stake.
6
00:00:15,198 --> 00:00:16,529
She made up her mind herself.
7
00:00:16,741 --> 00:00:18,630
If you don't know that.
You don't know her.
8
00:00:18,869 --> 00:00:20,997
I know my own mother.
I know you too. Sweetheart.
9
00:00:21,247 --> 00:00:23,170
Ever since you moved in
you've been trouble.
10
00:00:23,416 --> 00:00:25,020
Stay out of it. It's not your fight.
11
00:00:25,251 --> 00:00:28,937
Are you saying that when your husband
wrote the codicil...
12
00:00:29,256 --> 00:00:30,940
he was mentally incompetent?
13
00:01:50,475 --> 00:01:55,037
SOUTHFORK RANCH
14
00:02:14,003 --> 00:02:17,052
- Hello. Darling.
- Hi. Sweetheart.
15
00:02:17,340 --> 00:02:20,742
Everyone's inside waiting for us.
Miss Ellie has something to tell us.
16
00:02:21,053 --> 00:02:23,943
- About breaking the will?
- I think so.
17
00:02:24,223 --> 00:02:26,430
Did she say anything
about changing her mind?
18
00:02:26,684 --> 00:02:29,972
- No.
- Okay.
19
00:02:45,623 --> 00:02:47,352
Here he is now.
20
00:02:47,583 --> 00:02:50,746
Well. I'm sorry. I didn't know
everybody's waiting for me.
21
00:02:51,046 --> 00:02:53,731
Miss Ellie has something she
wants to say before dinner.
22
00:02:54,008 --> 00:02:57,979
Well. Let me get a little fortification
here and I'll be all ears.
23
00:03:01,308 --> 00:03:03,629
You all know my feelings
about Jack's will...
24
00:03:03,894 --> 00:03:07,455
particularly about the codicil
that he wrote before he died.
25
00:03:07,774 --> 00:03:10,937
Well. I've had some time to consider
the whole thing.
26
00:03:11,236 --> 00:03:15,207
I've talked to Harv Smithfield
and another lawyer, Brooks Oliver.
27
00:03:15,533 --> 00:03:18,776
Well. I hope they've talked you out of
making any hasty decisions.
28
00:03:19,078 --> 00:03:21,365
Mr. Oliver has agreed to represent me.
29
00:03:21,623 --> 00:03:23,785
He doesn't think my decision was hasty.
30
00:03:24,043 --> 00:03:26,205
He thinks we have a good chance
to break the will.
31
00:03:26,462 --> 00:03:28,351
- You're going ahead with it?
- Yes. I am.
32
00:03:28,589 --> 00:03:31,479
I can't believe you're still intent
on tarnishing Daddy's memory.
33
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,728
I am not tarnishing his memory.
34
00:03:33,971 --> 00:03:37,180
- Don't you say that to me.
- I don't know how else to get through.
35
00:03:37,475 --> 00:03:39,716
And I don't know how else
to save this family.
36
00:03:40,437 --> 00:03:43,008
Mama. I hope you understand
that I'm with J.R. on this.
37
00:03:43,273 --> 00:03:45,753
Yes. I know. You're both so caught up
in this battle...
38
00:03:46,026 --> 00:03:48,267
neither one of you understands
what's happening.
39
00:03:48,529 --> 00:03:51,817
Don't you two realize she's trying
to stop you from hurting each other?
40
00:03:52,117 --> 00:03:55,007
- Keep out of this. Pam.
- What's going on is between J.R. and me.
41
00:03:55,287 --> 00:03:59,053
- I don't think you should get involved.
- I'm not here to explain my reasons.
42
00:03:59,375 --> 00:04:00,820
Only to tell you what I'm doing.
43
00:04:01,711 --> 00:04:03,440
Do you think this is fair. Miss Ellie?
44
00:04:03,672 --> 00:04:07,518
It has to do with survival.
Not fairness, Sue Ellen.
45
00:04:11,973 --> 00:04:13,418
Hope you're proud of yourselves.
46
00:04:13,642 --> 00:04:16,725
- This is all your fault. Pam.
- My fault? You can really twist things.
47
00:04:17,021 --> 00:04:19,228
Hadn't been for you.
She'd never have that lawyer.
48
00:04:19,482 --> 00:04:20,768
She made up her mind herself.
49
00:04:20,984 --> 00:04:22,873
If you don't know that.
You don't know her.
50
00:04:23,111 --> 00:04:25,239
I know my own mother.
I know you too. Sweetheart.
51
00:04:25,489 --> 00:04:27,412
Ever since you moved in
you've been trouble.
52
00:04:27,658 --> 00:04:31,265
Now. Stay out of it. This is
not your fight. Give me that.
53
00:04:32,664 --> 00:04:35,065
Thanks. That was a wonderful defense
of your own wife.
54
00:04:35,334 --> 00:04:36,745
You let him talk to me that way?
55
00:04:36,961 --> 00:04:39,885
J.R. is wrong in a lot of things.
But he's not wrong in this.
56
00:04:40,173 --> 00:04:43,541
As my wife.
I thought you'd stand by me in it.
57
00:04:49,517 --> 00:04:51,963
Really isn't Pam's fault, you know.
58
00:04:52,228 --> 00:04:54,151
She's interfering
where she doesn't belong.
59
00:04:54,398 --> 00:04:55,843
Because she cares for Bobby.
60
00:04:56,066 --> 00:04:59,229
She feels that overturning the will
may get Bobby out of the fight.
61
00:04:59,529 --> 00:05:02,100
At the expense of all of us
losing Ewing Oil?
62
00:05:02,365 --> 00:05:04,811
Darling. If she really cares for him.
She'll help him.
63
00:05:05,077 --> 00:05:07,557
Help him do whatever he thinks is right.
64
00:05:07,830 --> 00:05:11,073
That's the way I feel. But it'll put
a terrible strain on their marriage.
65
00:05:11,376 --> 00:05:13,617
Darling. You and Pam
are good friends, now.
66
00:05:13,879 --> 00:05:16,325
Why don't you talk to her. Huh?
Not here at Southfork.
67
00:05:16,590 --> 00:05:19,434
Take her out to lunch, someplace
where you can really be alone.
68
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:20,841
And what am I gonna say?
69
00:05:21,054 --> 00:05:23,375
That the two of us should stay out
of your dispute?
70
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,449
- I've tried that.
- No.
71
00:05:25,684 --> 00:05:29,131
You tell her that if she really believes
in her husband. She'll support him...
72
00:05:29,438 --> 00:05:31,281
just the way you're supporting me.
73
00:05:31,524 --> 00:05:35,449
Darling. This is the first time in years
that Bobby and I have been on the same side.
74
00:05:35,779 --> 00:05:37,349
And I know. Sue Ellen...
75
00:05:37,573 --> 00:05:40,144
if she believes in your friendship
as much as you do...
76
00:05:40,409 --> 00:05:42,537
and cares as much.
You'll convince her.
77
00:05:42,787 --> 00:05:44,630
I know you will.
78
00:05:44,873 --> 00:05:47,604
We cannot let Mama break Daddy's will.
79
00:05:48,711 --> 00:05:50,634
It just means too much to everybody.
80
00:05:59,473 --> 00:06:02,636
You are such a good boy.
81
00:06:02,936 --> 00:06:04,859
He has such a sweet nature.
82
00:06:05,105 --> 00:06:08,905
I'm so happy for Pam and Bobby.
83
00:06:10,069 --> 00:06:12,640
Ellie. There's nothing wrong
between them. Is there?
84
00:06:12,906 --> 00:06:15,273
Oh. It's this business
about breaking Jack's will.
85
00:06:15,534 --> 00:06:18,936
Pam's on my side and it's
causing some friction among them.
86
00:06:19,246 --> 00:06:22,614
Oh. Well. They'll get over that.
87
00:06:24,544 --> 00:06:26,546
But since you bring it up.
I wanna tell you...
88
00:06:26,797 --> 00:06:29,198
I think what you're doing
is absolutely right.
89
00:06:29,466 --> 00:06:33,152
- Well. That's good to hear.
- You think you have a chance to win?
90
00:06:33,471 --> 00:06:36,202
- My attorney thinks I do.
- I hope so.
91
00:06:36,975 --> 00:06:40,297
Meantime. I've told Cliff
that I want him to soften up a bit.
92
00:06:40,604 --> 00:06:43,414
I appreciate that. Rebecca.
93
00:06:44,985 --> 00:06:47,272
Wouldn't it be nice
if you and I could show them...
94
00:06:47,529 --> 00:06:49,770
that the Barneses and the Ewings
can be friends?
95
00:06:50,991 --> 00:06:53,562
Well. We have good reason to now.
96
00:06:55,872 --> 00:06:58,113
Hi. Hi.
97
00:06:58,375 --> 00:07:00,264
Are you a good boy?
98
00:07:06,259 --> 00:07:10,423
You have to understand. Boys. Brooks
Oliver is a highly respected attorney.
99
00:07:10,764 --> 00:07:13,654
He wouldn't accept Ellie's case
if he didn't think he could win.
100
00:07:13,935 --> 00:07:15,937
On what grounds. Harv?
101
00:07:16,187 --> 00:07:20,431
Well. If it were me. I'd probably try to
prove that Jock wasn't of sound mind...
102
00:07:20,776 --> 00:07:22,107
when he wrote that codicil.
103
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,446
Yeah. It figures.
104
00:07:23,654 --> 00:07:26,578
Mama's never gonna stand up in court
and say something like that.
105
00:07:26,867 --> 00:07:29,916
Bobby. I wouldn't underestimate
your mama right now.
106
00:07:30,704 --> 00:07:32,672
She's angry. She's determined.
107
00:07:32,915 --> 00:07:34,724
She's gonna do
what she feels she has to.
108
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:36,085
What happens if she wins?
109
00:07:36,294 --> 00:07:38,581
- It's possible. Isn't it?
- Of course it is.
110
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:42,560
By attacking the codicil.
Ellie puts the entire will into question.
111
00:07:42,885 --> 00:07:44,967
Now. The judge
has total discretionary powers.
112
00:07:45,221 --> 00:07:48,509
He could throw out the codicil, the will.
Both. Or neither.
113
00:07:48,809 --> 00:07:52,211
- He can overturn the whole will?
- Yes. Of course. Or any part thereof.
114
00:07:52,521 --> 00:07:55,001
Well. What happens if
he does throw out the entire will?
115
00:07:55,275 --> 00:07:57,755
Then the previous one comes into effect.
116
00:07:58,695 --> 00:08:01,460
- That was written 14, 15 years ago.
- About that.
117
00:08:01,740 --> 00:08:03,026
Do you remember what's in it?
118
00:08:03,242 --> 00:08:06,325
No. I'm planning
to read it this afternoon.
119
00:08:06,621 --> 00:08:09,192
But as young as you boys were
at the time...
120
00:08:09,458 --> 00:08:12,382
I'd venture to say that Jock left
most everything to your mama.
121
00:08:13,087 --> 00:08:16,250
- You can bet money on that.
- You'll let us know?
122
00:08:16,549 --> 00:08:19,155
- As soon as I've read it.
- We can't lose this. Harv.
123
00:08:19,428 --> 00:08:23,399
- There's too much at stake.
- Sure your mama feels the same way.
124
00:08:30,148 --> 00:08:31,957
MARIO MESSINA'S IL SORRENTO
CUCINA ITALIANA
125
00:08:32,192 --> 00:08:35,799
Pam. I really feel that we should
help our husbands stop Miss Ellie.
126
00:08:36,114 --> 00:08:39,163
If Bobby feels
that he really wants to beat J.R...
127
00:08:39,451 --> 00:08:42,022
I don't see why he shouldn't
be given a chance to try.
128
00:08:42,288 --> 00:08:45,974
Sue Ellen. I don't care if Bobby
beats J.R. or doesn't beat J.R.
129
00:08:46,292 --> 00:08:48,454
I want my husband and my family
all in one piece.
130
00:08:48,712 --> 00:08:50,760
That's what's important to me.
131
00:08:51,590 --> 00:08:54,321
- Shouldn't a wife stand by her husband?
- Of course she should.
132
00:08:54,594 --> 00:08:57,837
But that doesn't mean she can't disagree
if she feels he's wrong.
133
00:08:58,139 --> 00:09:00,380
That battle
is really going to hurt somebody.
134
00:09:00,642 --> 00:09:02,565
Really hurt somebody.
135
00:09:02,811 --> 00:09:05,291
Now. I agree with Miss Ellie.
It's got to be stopped.
136
00:09:05,565 --> 00:09:07,454
Pam? Hi.
137
00:09:08,151 --> 00:09:10,961
I thought that was you.
What a pleasant surprise.
138
00:09:11,238 --> 00:09:12,728
Mark. Hello.
139
00:09:12,948 --> 00:09:14,837
What are you doing
eating in my restaurant?
140
00:09:15,076 --> 00:09:17,317
- You own this restaurant?
- No.
141
00:09:17,579 --> 00:09:20,901
I eat here almost every day. Though.
I'm surprised I haven't seen you here.
142
00:09:21,208 --> 00:09:22,448
Well. It's our first time...
143
00:09:22,668 --> 00:09:24,875
Oh. Do you know my sister-in-law.
Sue Ellen Ewing?
144
00:09:25,129 --> 00:09:27,257
- This is Mark Graison.
- Hello.
145
00:09:27,507 --> 00:09:29,396
How do you do? Brooks called.
146
00:09:29,634 --> 00:09:33,605
- He said he's taking Miss Ellie's case.
- Yes. I can't thank you enough for that.
147
00:09:33,931 --> 00:09:37,253
Listen. I told you I am here to help.
148
00:09:37,602 --> 00:09:40,890
Anything that I can do for you.
149
00:09:44,026 --> 00:09:45,596
Well. Thank you for letting him go.
150
00:09:46,529 --> 00:09:49,453
You two enjoy your meal.
Very nice having met you.
151
00:09:57,458 --> 00:10:00,189
I don't understand the point
of all this discussion.
152
00:10:00,462 --> 00:10:02,829
We've had our vote.
And J.R.'s variance stays.
153
00:10:03,090 --> 00:10:06,697
You do realize that as soon as this battle
between the Ewings is over with...
154
00:10:07,011 --> 00:10:09,378
the gasoline prices
are gonna shoot right up again?
155
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:11,880
- That's not a certainty.
- I guarantee it.
156
00:10:12,142 --> 00:10:14,065
I mean. You don't seriously believe...
157
00:10:14,311 --> 00:10:18,794
that J.R. Ewing is lowering
gasoline prices to help the little man?
158
00:10:19,150 --> 00:10:21,118
He is doing it to beat his brother.
159
00:10:21,361 --> 00:10:23,728
That battle's gonna be going on
for a while yet.
160
00:10:23,989 --> 00:10:26,959
Don't you bet on it.
Because if Jack's will is overturned...
161
00:10:27,243 --> 00:10:29,450
the whole company is gonna revert
to his widow.
162
00:10:29,704 --> 00:10:31,035
She is going to sell it.
163
00:10:31,248 --> 00:10:35,856
That is the end of the battle
and of low gasoline prices.
164
00:10:36,629 --> 00:10:38,154
Donna's right about that.
165
00:10:38,798 --> 00:10:42,325
No one can predict
if the will is going to be overturned.
166
00:10:44,388 --> 00:10:45,674
What difference does it make?
167
00:10:45,890 --> 00:10:50,214
This commission is gonna look like fools
as soon as the battle is over with.
168
00:10:50,562 --> 00:10:53,372
Something we should think about.
Not as far as I'm concerned.
169
00:10:53,649 --> 00:10:56,971
Voting against that variance now
is like voting against motherhood.
170
00:10:57,278 --> 00:11:00,600
- And I'm not gonna do it.
- Neither am I.
171
00:11:00,907 --> 00:11:03,035
Do you really think that J.R. Ewing...
172
00:11:03,285 --> 00:11:06,528
has all of a sudden become
the man of the people?
173
00:11:06,831 --> 00:11:10,119
Well. It looks like he is right now.
And that's good enough for me.
174
00:11:10,460 --> 00:11:14,465
- I think it's time to go home.
- Excuse me.
175
00:11:19,137 --> 00:11:20,946
CATTLEMEN'S CLUB
176
00:11:21,181 --> 00:11:24,867
- Twenty-five million dollars.
- Bobby's share of the Wellington field?
177
00:11:25,185 --> 00:11:27,791
May be closer to 30.
We're still waiting for the appraisal.
178
00:11:28,064 --> 00:11:30,032
Well. Our other choice
is to uncap the wells.
179
00:11:30,275 --> 00:11:31,879
So. What do we do with all that oil?
180
00:11:32,110 --> 00:11:35,193
Stick it in holding tanks.
Or cut prices like Bobby's threatening?
181
00:11:35,489 --> 00:11:37,253
Oh. No. We can't uncap those wells.
182
00:11:37,491 --> 00:11:40,222
It'll cost us 25 to 30 million dollars
not to.
183
00:11:40,495 --> 00:11:42,657
The independents have to
draw the line somewhere.
184
00:11:42,914 --> 00:11:46,123
We can't uncap those wells
and let Bobby undercut everybody.
185
00:11:46,418 --> 00:11:48,500
I don't know.
That's an awful lot of money.
186
00:11:48,754 --> 00:11:50,040
Only in the short range.
187
00:11:50,256 --> 00:11:54,580
Eventually. When this glut is over. We'll
uncap the wells and make it all back.
188
00:11:55,512 --> 00:11:57,276
Maybe they're right.
189
00:11:58,683 --> 00:12:01,607
All to help Bobby Ewing's profit picture.
190
00:12:01,895 --> 00:12:03,624
So. What's the answer?
191
00:12:03,855 --> 00:12:07,143
Do we wanna cough up 25 or 30 million
and buy him out?
192
00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:10,022
I sure don't want to.
193
00:12:10,279 --> 00:12:13,920
Neither do I, but it's even stupider
to uncap the wells.
194
00:12:14,242 --> 00:12:15,573
We only got two choices.
195
00:12:16,203 --> 00:12:18,331
Isn't that ironic?
No matter which way we go...
196
00:12:18,581 --> 00:12:22,427
we wind up helping Bobby Ewing.
How's that for a bone in your throat?
197
00:12:27,424 --> 00:12:29,426
This is the old will.
198
00:12:29,677 --> 00:12:31,964
It was drawn 15 years ago. April.
199
00:12:32,222 --> 00:12:34,589
It goes into effect
if the present one is overturned.
200
00:12:34,850 --> 00:12:37,660
- You have a chance to read that?
- Yes. And I was right.
201
00:12:37,937 --> 00:12:40,178
Your mama would get 100 percent
of Ewing Oil.
202
00:12:41,023 --> 00:12:43,071
And she'd be free to sell it
if she wanted to?
203
00:12:43,318 --> 00:12:45,685
Yes. But that's not all of it.
204
00:12:45,946 --> 00:12:48,426
The will is a problem
for what it doesn't include.
205
00:12:49,533 --> 00:12:50,694
The grandchildren?
206
00:12:50,910 --> 00:12:54,073
No. There are the usual provisions
for grandchildren...
207
00:12:54,372 --> 00:12:56,978
even though Lucy was
the only one born at the time.
208
00:12:57,251 --> 00:13:00,221
No. I mean Ray and Gary.
209
00:13:01,464 --> 00:13:03,228
They'd lose out badly.
210
00:13:03,466 --> 00:13:05,833
Fifteen years ago.
Jock was furious with Gary.
211
00:13:06,678 --> 00:13:08,362
That's when Gary was drinking so much.
212
00:13:08,597 --> 00:13:11,362
That's right. And he passed him off
with a gesture.
213
00:13:11,642 --> 00:13:15,613
Gary would get virtually nothing.
Instead of the interest on $10 million.
214
00:13:15,939 --> 00:13:17,350
Ray was just a ranch hand then.
215
00:13:17,566 --> 00:13:20,046
Yeah. That was before anyone knew
he was Jack's son.
216
00:13:20,987 --> 00:13:24,514
- He'd get a very minor bequest.
- More than he deserves. That's for sure.
217
00:13:24,824 --> 00:13:27,430
Harv. That will would be disastrous
for us.
218
00:13:27,703 --> 00:13:30,991
That's putting it mildly.
Tell us what you need to win. Harv.
219
00:13:32,083 --> 00:13:33,494
We'll do whatever's necessary.
220
00:13:35,045 --> 00:13:36,535
Gentlemen...
221
00:13:38,173 --> 00:13:42,223
I am going to defend the current will
and the codicil.
222
00:13:42,553 --> 00:13:46,603
It's my duty as the executor
and as Jack's personal friend.
223
00:13:46,933 --> 00:13:51,302
I want you both to know. However.
That I do it with a heavy heart.
224
00:13:51,647 --> 00:13:54,332
I take no joy
in fighting with your mama...
225
00:13:54,609 --> 00:13:58,170
or in the fact that the both of you
forced her into taking this action.
226
00:13:59,156 --> 00:14:00,965
I appreciate your sentiments. Harv.
227
00:14:01,659 --> 00:14:05,186
Neither Bobby nor I wanted to go up
against Mama. You know that.
228
00:14:05,497 --> 00:14:08,626
But we can't let those feelings
interfere with our winning.
229
00:14:08,917 --> 00:14:12,000
That's the one thing
we damn well better do.
230
00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:23,085
You mean Mark Graison
just waltzed in. Huh?
231
00:14:23,351 --> 00:14:25,797
I guess he eats there quite often.
232
00:14:26,062 --> 00:14:28,588
- Pam know that?
- I don't think so.
233
00:14:28,857 --> 00:14:32,100
But I was under the impression
that he helped Miss Ellie find a lawyer.
234
00:14:32,403 --> 00:14:35,407
You know. I didn't realize
that Mama knew the Graisons that well.
235
00:14:35,698 --> 00:14:36,824
I couldn't swear to it...
236
00:14:37,033 --> 00:14:40,196
but I think he helped Miss Ellie
because of Pam.
237
00:14:40,496 --> 00:14:43,818
Are you suggesting that Pam and Graison
are having an affair?
238
00:14:44,125 --> 00:14:47,607
No. No. She wasn't
even impressed by him.
239
00:14:47,921 --> 00:14:52,563
- But he was definitely impressed by her.
- Yeah? How do you know that?
240
00:14:52,927 --> 00:14:56,932
Well. I think a woman can tell
when a man is interested in her.
241
00:14:57,265 --> 00:14:59,427
Oh. This could be quite a break, honey.
242
00:14:59,685 --> 00:15:01,449
What are you talking about?
243
00:15:01,687 --> 00:15:03,815
Pam and Graison.
Aren't you paying attention?
244
00:15:04,065 --> 00:15:07,114
Well. Of course I am. But I told you
it had nothing to do with that.
245
00:15:07,402 --> 00:15:08,892
Well. It could.
246
00:15:09,112 --> 00:15:11,797
From what I understand.
Graison's quite the lady's man.
247
00:15:12,074 --> 00:15:13,485
Likes all those macho things...
248
00:15:13,701 --> 00:15:17,387
like parachuting and fast cars.
So forth.
249
00:15:17,706 --> 00:15:21,791
- Turns ladies on. You know?
- J.R.. it has nothing to do with Pam.
250
00:15:22,127 --> 00:15:25,927
It could. It sure could.
251
00:15:26,257 --> 00:15:28,863
Given the right signals.
He just might make a move on her.
252
00:15:29,136 --> 00:15:31,025
J.R.. I don't like what you're saying.
253
00:15:31,263 --> 00:15:33,834
Well. Why not. Honey?
Bobby and I are on the same side now.
254
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:38,105
But that's not gonna last forever.
We'll be battling again real soon.
255
00:15:38,438 --> 00:15:43,000
I wouldn't mind if he was distracted by
a nasty little marital problem right now.
256
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,443
I don't want anything bad happening
to Bobby and Pam's marriage.
257
00:15:46,739 --> 00:15:50,630
Oh. I was just passing it
through my mind. Honey. That's all.
258
00:15:50,953 --> 00:15:55,197
- Imagine if somebody did that to us.
- Hey. Don't get so upset.
259
00:15:57,794 --> 00:16:01,162
You know how much winning Ewing Oil
means to me, darling.
260
00:16:03,551 --> 00:16:05,235
You know that.
261
00:16:08,682 --> 00:16:11,925
Don't you see that breaking Daddy's will
is gonna affect Gary and Ray?
262
00:16:12,227 --> 00:16:16,232
It's gonna affect them badly. They're
gonna get a fraction of what's theirs.
263
00:16:16,566 --> 00:16:20,776
All Miss Ellie wants to do
is stop the battle between you and J.R.
264
00:16:21,113 --> 00:16:23,559
I know that. Honey.
But this is not the way to do it.
265
00:16:23,824 --> 00:16:26,589
The only other way is for you and J.R.
to call off the fight...
266
00:16:26,869 --> 00:16:28,871
but neither one of you'll do it.
267
00:16:29,122 --> 00:16:30,487
That is not the only other way.
268
00:16:30,707 --> 00:16:33,153
You can also persuade Mama
what she's doing is wrong.
269
00:16:33,419 --> 00:16:36,980
- But I don't think she's wrong.
- Even if it hurts Gary and Ray?
270
00:16:37,298 --> 00:16:38,709
Oh. Bobby. You know your mother.
271
00:16:38,925 --> 00:16:42,213
Never in a million years
would she hurt Gary or Ray.
272
00:16:43,389 --> 00:16:46,871
Honey. I understand Mama's intentions.
They're the best. The best in the world.
273
00:16:47,185 --> 00:16:50,348
But she does not fully understand
the consequences of what she's doing.
274
00:16:50,647 --> 00:16:52,729
I don't agree.
275
00:17:05,206 --> 00:17:08,335
- Morning. Lucy.
- Good morning.
276
00:17:08,626 --> 00:17:10,390
Grandma down yet?
277
00:17:11,087 --> 00:17:12,293
She's gone already.
278
00:17:12,506 --> 00:17:15,589
Seems she had an early appointment
at her lawyer's.
279
00:17:16,177 --> 00:17:19,659
You know. Grandma's going to do
whatever she thinks is best...
280
00:17:19,973 --> 00:17:23,056
no matter what you do.
And I know that bothers you. J.R.
281
00:17:23,352 --> 00:17:25,320
This is just a joke to you. Isn't it?
282
00:17:25,563 --> 00:17:28,646
I can't say it would bother me
if you lost Ewing Oil.
283
00:17:29,442 --> 00:17:31,410
Well. Let me tell you something. Honey.
284
00:17:32,070 --> 00:17:33,515
If this will is thrown out...
285
00:17:33,739 --> 00:17:36,822
your granddaddy's old will is valid.
And everybody loses.
286
00:17:37,118 --> 00:17:38,802
I'm not especially worried.
287
00:17:39,037 --> 00:17:42,200
I'm sure Granddaddy provided for me
just fine in his old will.
288
00:17:42,499 --> 00:17:44,547
That's all you care about. Isn't it?
Yourself.
289
00:17:45,252 --> 00:17:47,300
Well. If your grandma
is successful in court...
290
00:17:47,547 --> 00:17:50,232
your daddy's inheritance
is gonna be reduced to a stipend.
291
00:17:50,508 --> 00:17:52,636
That means a handout. Honey.
292
00:17:52,886 --> 00:17:55,048
Or don't you give a damn?
293
00:18:03,690 --> 00:18:06,375
Oh. Pam. I'm sorry.
Have I kept you waiting?
294
00:18:06,652 --> 00:18:09,132
No. I haven't been here long.
The car's just over there.
295
00:18:09,405 --> 00:18:10,975
Well. What did Mr. Oliver say?
296
00:18:11,199 --> 00:18:14,601
Well. He received a copy
of Jack's old will.
297
00:18:14,912 --> 00:18:19,759
It leaves everything pretty much to me.
But there are some problems.
298
00:18:20,126 --> 00:18:21,890
Ray and Gary?
299
00:18:22,128 --> 00:18:24,449
Bobby said Harv Smithfield
told him there might be.
300
00:18:24,715 --> 00:18:25,921
Oh. Yes.
301
00:18:26,133 --> 00:18:30,138
Well. Actually. Where Gary's concerned.
It could be a blessing.
302
00:18:30,471 --> 00:18:33,759
I could improve on the way
that Jock dealt with him in the old will.
303
00:18:34,059 --> 00:18:38,144
And. Of course. I'd take care of Ray too.
304
00:18:38,481 --> 00:18:42,770
But. Pam. Ray is so much his own man.
305
00:18:43,111 --> 00:18:46,718
He might refuse to accept anything
from me.
306
00:18:47,032 --> 00:18:50,400
Well. I think you should talk to him.
You know. He really loves you...
307
00:18:50,703 --> 00:18:54,071
and I think he'll understand
more than you think.
308
00:18:55,834 --> 00:18:59,156
Yes. I'll talk to him.
309
00:19:00,089 --> 00:19:01,898
Door's open.
310
00:19:05,971 --> 00:19:07,860
Mr. Ewing. We haven't seen you
for a while.
311
00:19:08,099 --> 00:19:09,146
Well. How you doing?
312
00:19:09,350 --> 00:19:11,000
- Your table is ready.
- Oh. Thank you.
313
00:19:11,227 --> 00:19:13,798
Say. Mark Graison wouldn't be
having lunch here. Would he?
314
00:19:14,064 --> 00:19:16,795
- Yes. He's at his usual table.
- Oh. Good.
315
00:19:17,067 --> 00:19:20,037
Hold my table for me. Would you?
Thank you very much.
316
00:19:21,656 --> 00:19:24,785
Hello. Phil. How you doing?
Good to see you.
317
00:19:26,703 --> 00:19:28,068
Well. Mark Graison.
318
00:19:28,289 --> 00:19:31,418
- It's funny seeing you here.
- J.R.. how are you?
319
00:19:31,709 --> 00:19:34,315
Seems like you've been running into
half my family lately.
320
00:19:34,588 --> 00:19:37,068
- Oh. You mean your mother?
- And my sister-in-law. Pam.
321
00:19:39,301 --> 00:19:42,623
She's quite taken with you.
Talking about it at dinner the other night.
322
00:19:44,015 --> 00:19:46,063
She found you quite charming.
323
00:19:47,060 --> 00:19:49,791
- What do you mean?
- You made quite an impression on her.
324
00:19:50,648 --> 00:19:54,414
By the way. I just wanna tell you I don't
hold any hard feelings towards you.
325
00:19:54,736 --> 00:19:56,386
Hard feeling? Now. Why should you?
326
00:19:56,613 --> 00:19:59,901
Well. You getting your lawyer
to work with Mama against me.
327
00:20:00,201 --> 00:20:02,010
Your mother is a very lovely lady.
328
00:20:02,245 --> 00:20:05,488
Yeah. Yeah. It's a shame we're on
opposite sides of the fence right now...
329
00:20:05,791 --> 00:20:08,715
but. You know. As they say.
This too shall pass.
330
00:20:09,003 --> 00:20:13,247
- Now. Pam is still on your mother's side?
- Yeah. Unfortunately.
331
00:20:13,591 --> 00:20:15,036
Pam's a wonderful girl.
332
00:20:15,260 --> 00:20:17,547
Too bad she and Bobby
are having problems right now.
333
00:20:17,805 --> 00:20:19,136
Are they?
334
00:20:19,348 --> 00:20:23,910
Well. They only been married a couple
years. And this fight's not helping at all.
335
00:20:24,270 --> 00:20:26,079
I'm sorry to hear that.
336
00:20:26,314 --> 00:20:29,238
I'm not one to publicize family problems.
So I'll be seeing you.
337
00:20:29,527 --> 00:20:31,336
- Enjoy your lunch.
- Thank you.
338
00:20:31,571 --> 00:20:34,495
Oh. Say. We've never done any business
together, have we?
339
00:20:34,783 --> 00:20:35,830
No.
340
00:20:36,034 --> 00:20:39,356
Well. We ought to get together
and see what we have in common.
341
00:20:40,414 --> 00:20:43,623
The only thing we have in common
is we're eating in the same restaurant.
342
00:20:43,918 --> 00:20:46,205
Well. We'll see what we can do
to remedy that. Huh?
343
00:20:46,463 --> 00:20:48,113
Good seeing you.
344
00:21:02,064 --> 00:21:04,385
We just fawned over him. Ellie and I.
345
00:21:04,651 --> 00:21:07,541
- Oh. That baby is so cute.
- He must be.
346
00:21:07,821 --> 00:21:11,030
He's bringing us closer
than we've ever been.
347
00:21:11,325 --> 00:21:14,534
- Hi. Darling.
- Hello. Mama.
348
00:21:15,205 --> 00:21:19,335
I was just telling Afton what a nice time
I had with Ellie yesterday.
349
00:21:21,629 --> 00:21:23,757
You been out there again. Huh?
350
00:21:24,549 --> 00:21:26,233
It's getting to be a habit, isn't it?
351
00:21:26,468 --> 00:21:28,755
But she's been going through
a lot of pain of late.
352
00:21:29,012 --> 00:21:32,255
Well. With sons like hers.
What do you expect?
353
00:21:32,558 --> 00:21:35,687
- Anybody want a drink?
- Not for me. Thanks.
354
00:21:35,979 --> 00:21:38,823
No. Not for me.
She seemed very grateful...
355
00:21:39,107 --> 00:21:42,589
that we're keeping the pressure
off of Ewing Oil just now.
356
00:21:42,904 --> 00:21:46,226
Well. I don't know how much longer
we can keep that up.
357
00:21:47,576 --> 00:21:50,625
Cliff. I promised her.
358
00:21:50,913 --> 00:21:52,642
And you promised me.
359
00:21:52,873 --> 00:21:55,160
You can forget about J.R.
for a while. Can't you?
360
00:21:55,418 --> 00:21:56,988
Sure I can. But what about Bobby?
361
00:21:57,212 --> 00:21:59,340
- You know what he's doing?
- What?
362
00:21:59,590 --> 00:22:00,637
Little brother Bobby...
363
00:22:00,841 --> 00:22:04,050
is about to make the cartel
take a nosedive on the Wellington field.
364
00:22:05,054 --> 00:22:08,297
- What has he done?
- He's put us in a no-win situation.
365
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,841
We stand to lose
about 25. 30 million dollars.
366
00:22:11,103 --> 00:22:15,427
And if we keep turning the other cheek.
Then they'll keep spinning us like a top.
367
00:22:15,775 --> 00:22:18,460
Cliff. It's only for a little while.
368
00:22:18,737 --> 00:22:22,139
And if Ellie wins in court.
Both problems will be solved.
369
00:22:22,867 --> 00:22:25,074
- Mama...
- Please.
370
00:22:25,328 --> 00:22:30,129
Mama. I thought Barnes-Wentworth
was mine to run.
371
00:22:31,210 --> 00:22:35,056
I'm not asking
as the head of Wentworth Industries.
372
00:22:36,507 --> 00:22:38,430
I'm asking as your mother.
373
00:22:45,643 --> 00:22:49,045
Ray. You understand what happens
if I win. Don't you?
374
00:22:49,356 --> 00:22:53,759
The entire will could be thrown out.
The trust funds, everything.
375
00:22:54,111 --> 00:22:58,560
Even the $10 million that Jock left you.
It could all revert to me.
376
00:22:58,909 --> 00:23:01,037
Well. I never had that money before.
377
00:23:01,286 --> 00:23:04,176
I guess I'd keep on living all right
without it. Miss Ellie.
378
00:23:04,457 --> 00:23:06,346
Well. I wouldn't allow that.
379
00:23:06,584 --> 00:23:08,473
I want you to know that
whatever happens...
380
00:23:08,712 --> 00:23:10,555
I won't let you lose that money.
381
00:23:10,797 --> 00:23:12,242
Yes. Ma'am.
382
00:23:12,466 --> 00:23:16,232
Well. I think we ought to take things
one step at a time right now.
383
00:23:16,554 --> 00:23:18,556
Well. It's important that you realize it.
384
00:23:18,807 --> 00:23:22,016
I'd sell the company. And I'd see to it
that you got everything back...
385
00:23:22,311 --> 00:23:23,881
that Jock wanted you to have.
386
00:23:26,858 --> 00:23:30,146
Well. First things first.
And the first thing is for you to win.
387
00:23:31,321 --> 00:23:35,212
Ray. I have to try to break that will.
388
00:23:36,285 --> 00:23:37,571
Sure you do.
389
00:23:43,669 --> 00:23:45,717
Well. Good night. Ma'am.
390
00:23:46,839 --> 00:23:49,490
Good night. Ray. And thank you.
391
00:24:10,033 --> 00:24:11,683
Hey. Ray-
392
00:24:12,828 --> 00:24:15,911
Say. You been talking to Mama?
393
00:24:16,207 --> 00:24:19,416
- Matter of fact, I have.
- Oh. Yeah? What'd she say?
394
00:24:19,711 --> 00:24:22,237
I don't see how that's
any of your business.
395
00:24:22,547 --> 00:24:25,027
Well. We're all in this together.
You know.
396
00:24:25,301 --> 00:24:26,712
That's how it looks to you, huh?
397
00:24:26,928 --> 00:24:29,932
Well. I mean. You and Bobby and me.
We're all together.
398
00:24:30,223 --> 00:24:32,464
You just don't understand me at all.
399
00:24:32,726 --> 00:24:36,412
See. I find it hard to believe you're
fighting against your own $10 million.
400
00:24:36,731 --> 00:24:39,177
Because if she wins.
That's what you stand to lose, boy.
401
00:24:39,442 --> 00:24:43,572
You don't give a damn about anybody.
Not even your own mother.
402
00:24:44,281 --> 00:24:46,887
You really are a dumb old cowboy.
Aren't you?
403
00:24:47,785 --> 00:24:49,947
Listen. J.R..
I'm gonna explain something to you.
404
00:24:50,205 --> 00:24:53,288
I'd give up my house. My inheritance.
Every damn cent I've got...
405
00:24:53,584 --> 00:24:56,394
before I'd go with you
against Miss Ellie.
406
00:25:22,617 --> 00:25:24,858
Thought you had some cattle
to move today.
407
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:28,761
Well. I got Charlie out there
with the crew today.
408
00:25:29,834 --> 00:25:31,723
Are you feeling all right?
409
00:25:32,712 --> 00:25:34,794
Yeah. I'm okay.
410
00:25:36,634 --> 00:25:38,716
Is it that conversation you had
with Miss Ellie?
411
00:25:38,970 --> 00:25:40,574
Is that what's bothering you?
412
00:25:41,598 --> 00:25:43,282
I guess.
413
00:25:45,435 --> 00:25:47,563
You gonna change your mind
about backing her?
414
00:25:48,898 --> 00:25:50,138
- No.
- But then what?
415
00:25:50,358 --> 00:25:52,326
You're not worried
about losing that money?
416
00:25:53,779 --> 00:25:56,783
She wins the case. I lose the money.
That's all there is to that.
417
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,731
I think Miss Ellie would see
that you got your 10 million.
418
00:26:01,996 --> 00:26:06,320
Well. That $10 million
was an inheritance from my father.
419
00:26:06,669 --> 00:26:10,390
Getting it from Miss Ellie as a gift
is nowhere near the same thing.
420
00:26:10,715 --> 00:26:12,285
Jock wanted you to have that.
421
00:26:12,926 --> 00:26:15,850
Oh. I know. And I love him for it.
422
00:26:16,138 --> 00:26:19,221
But taking charity from Miss Ellie.
Who's not even my real mother...
423
00:26:19,517 --> 00:26:21,838
well. I just don't
think I could do that.
424
00:26:22,103 --> 00:26:24,105
I don't think I'd call it charity.
425
00:26:24,397 --> 00:26:26,877
Don't you understand
what I'm trying to tell you. Donna?
426
00:26:27,151 --> 00:26:29,358
- Yes. But...
- Well. A man has his pride.
427
00:26:29,612 --> 00:26:31,774
I just don't think I could take the money.
428
00:26:36,912 --> 00:26:38,152
I understand.
429
00:26:42,544 --> 00:26:46,629
Okay. Up. One. Two. Three. Four.
Five. Six. Seven. Eight.
430
00:26:46,965 --> 00:26:49,252
Now breathe. One.
431
00:26:50,094 --> 00:26:51,823
Two.
432
00:26:52,597 --> 00:26:55,441
- Ivy. Take over. Three.
- Okay.
433
00:26:58,312 --> 00:27:01,395
- All major credit cards accepted?
- What are you doing here?
434
00:27:01,691 --> 00:27:04,171
I just thought I'd stop by
to see how the case was going.
435
00:27:04,444 --> 00:27:07,254
Well. I saw you at the restaurant.
Remember?
436
00:27:07,531 --> 00:27:09,021
That was ages ago.
437
00:27:09,784 --> 00:27:11,388
It was the day before yesterday.
438
00:27:13,413 --> 00:27:14,778
Well. Somehow it seems longer.
439
00:27:16,833 --> 00:27:19,154
Listen. When you're through here.
What are you doing?
440
00:27:20,045 --> 00:27:22,093
I'm going home to have dinner
with my husband.
441
00:27:22,966 --> 00:27:25,128
That's right, you've got a husband.
442
00:27:26,636 --> 00:27:29,606
That's right. And I think we've had
this discussion already.
443
00:27:29,890 --> 00:27:32,780
I remember.
It's all beginning to come back now.
444
00:27:33,061 --> 00:27:37,271
- Mark...
- Please. Call me Mr. Graison.
445
00:27:40,277 --> 00:27:43,326
I really appreciate what you did
for me and Miss Ellie...
446
00:27:43,615 --> 00:27:45,982
but that's as far as it goes.
I am a married woman.
447
00:27:47,285 --> 00:27:49,367
Sounds like I'm being thrown out
on my ear.
448
00:27:49,622 --> 00:27:52,512
- You are.
- All right. And I shall leave gracefully.
449
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,406
But you will see me again.
450
00:28:04,931 --> 00:28:07,696
Yeah?
.I.R., Mr. Anderson is here.
451
00:28:07,976 --> 00:28:09,307
Send him in.
452
00:28:11,981 --> 00:28:13,790
- Hey. Punk. Good to see you.
- J.R.
453
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:16,153
- Punk. Glad you could make it.
- Bobby.
454
00:28:16,403 --> 00:28:18,849
- Get you a drink?
- No. Thank you.
455
00:28:19,114 --> 00:28:22,197
Well. Sit down. Sit down, Punk.
456
00:28:23,703 --> 00:28:28,709
Punk. We found out that Dave Culver
is gonna testify for Mama at the trial.
457
00:28:29,084 --> 00:28:31,928
- What about you?
- What about me?
458
00:28:32,213 --> 00:28:33,578
Can we count on you in court?
459
00:28:34,465 --> 00:28:36,991
You mean. Will I be a hostile witness
against your mama?
460
00:28:37,260 --> 00:28:41,265
No. We mean. Will you testify
as to what Daddy's intentions were?
461
00:28:41,599 --> 00:28:43,522
- Are you?
- Yes.
462
00:28:43,768 --> 00:28:46,419
No. You're not.
I know what Jack's intentions were.
463
00:28:46,688 --> 00:28:48,258
And I know the feeling behind them.
464
00:28:48,482 --> 00:28:50,723
And neither of you
care anything about that at all.
465
00:28:50,985 --> 00:28:53,750
Well. Punk. We didn't ask you here
to give us a sermon.
466
00:28:54,030 --> 00:28:57,000
Well. You sure as hell could use one.
The both of you.
467
00:28:57,284 --> 00:29:00,970
It wasn't Jack's intention to let you
use the codicil to destroy Ewing Oil.
468
00:29:01,288 --> 00:29:03,052
Punk. Are you with us or not?
469
00:29:05,335 --> 00:29:08,544
- I don't know.
- Now. What does that mean?
470
00:29:09,381 --> 00:29:11,861
It means I'm caught in the middle.
That's what it means.
471
00:29:12,134 --> 00:29:14,944
Between my duty to your daddy
and my affection for your mama.
472
00:29:15,722 --> 00:29:17,326
Punk. The only way Mama can win...
473
00:29:17,557 --> 00:29:20,083
is to prove that Daddy
was mentally incompetent.
474
00:29:20,352 --> 00:29:23,993
Now. You were with him at the very end.
Would you testify to that?
475
00:29:28,904 --> 00:29:32,795
I don't know what I'll testify to,
if I testify to anything.
476
00:29:34,452 --> 00:29:37,774
- Punk. Don't walk out on us.
- Boys. I got no more business here.
477
00:29:38,081 --> 00:29:40,163
All I can tell you
is I'll be in the courtroom.
478
00:29:40,417 --> 00:29:42,419
Let's just leave it at that.
479
00:29:50,053 --> 00:29:51,862
Hi.
480
00:29:52,097 --> 00:29:54,862
- Hi. You've had along day. Haven't you?
- Sort of.
481
00:29:55,142 --> 00:29:57,383
Can't wait to get in a hot tub.
482
00:29:58,188 --> 00:30:00,111
You had a few calls today.
483
00:30:00,357 --> 00:30:03,167
All from the same person. Mark Graison.
484
00:30:03,444 --> 00:30:06,095
- Mark Graison called here?
- A couple of times.
485
00:30:06,364 --> 00:30:08,492
But I just saw him.
He came by the studio today.
486
00:30:11,620 --> 00:30:14,703
- I don't understand it.
- Pam?
487
00:30:15,791 --> 00:30:17,122
This is none of my business...
488
00:30:17,335 --> 00:30:20,657
and. Well. You can stop me right now
if you want to. But...
489
00:30:21,590 --> 00:30:24,070
Well. I'm just getting
a little worried about you.
490
00:30:24,844 --> 00:30:26,175
Why?
491
00:30:27,805 --> 00:30:31,173
- Mark Graison, among other things.
- What do you mean?
492
00:30:32,060 --> 00:30:35,951
Look. Pam. I'm certainly not
trying to judge you.
493
00:30:36,315 --> 00:30:38,044
- I hope not.
- I'm not.
494
00:30:38,276 --> 00:30:42,600
But I'm just kind of worried about
how you've been acting lately.
495
00:30:42,948 --> 00:30:45,349
I mean. I've never seen you
go against Bobby before.
496
00:30:46,661 --> 00:30:49,824
And it's really not something
that a happily married woman does.
497
00:30:50,123 --> 00:30:51,932
And now. With Mark Graison...
498
00:30:52,626 --> 00:30:54,355
Why do you keep mentioning
Mark Graison?
499
00:30:54,587 --> 00:30:57,511
- What are you trying to suggest?
- Nothing. Honestly.
500
00:30:57,799 --> 00:31:00,086
I'm just concerned about
you and Bobby. That's all.
501
00:31:00,343 --> 00:31:03,870
Look. As I said before.
It's none of my business.
502
00:31:04,181 --> 00:31:05,751
Right. It is none of your business.
503
00:31:05,975 --> 00:31:09,024
But just so you know.
My marriage to Bobby is rock solid.
504
00:31:09,312 --> 00:31:12,998
Then why is this man calling you
and running after you at the studio?
505
00:31:13,317 --> 00:31:16,560
I don't know. That's his problem.
It has nothing to do with me and Bobby.
506
00:31:17,321 --> 00:31:20,245
And if that's true.
Then why are you getting so angry?
507
00:31:20,533 --> 00:31:23,901
- Because you're making me angry.
- Pam. I'm your friend.
508
00:31:24,204 --> 00:31:26,332
Then act like it.
509
00:31:35,050 --> 00:31:36,654
Come in.
510
00:31:54,907 --> 00:31:57,478
Lucy. What's wrong?
511
00:31:58,911 --> 00:32:03,599
Is it true that if the will is overturned.
My daddy will lose his inheritance?
512
00:32:05,377 --> 00:32:08,984
- Who told you that. J.R.?
- Did he lie to me?
513
00:32:10,425 --> 00:32:14,430
No. Not exactly.
He just didn't tell you all the facts.
514
00:32:15,597 --> 00:32:19,158
Lucy. Do you think I'd ever do anything
to hurt your daddy?
515
00:32:20,436 --> 00:32:21,722
No.
516
00:32:23,023 --> 00:32:25,105
Of course I wouldn't.
517
00:32:27,236 --> 00:32:30,319
But J.R. told me
the court would make an older will legal.
518
00:32:30,615 --> 00:32:33,221
My daddy was hardly mentioned
in that will.
519
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:36,554
Well. That's true.
But what he didn't tell you was that...
520
00:32:36,830 --> 00:32:39,436
that will would give me the power
to do anything I want.
521
00:32:39,709 --> 00:32:43,919
And I'd make very sure that
Gary got everything that he was due.
522
00:32:44,882 --> 00:32:47,089
You do know that. Don't you?
523
00:32:48,302 --> 00:32:49,542
Yes.
524
00:32:50,430 --> 00:32:53,957
So are you through worrying?
525
00:32:54,726 --> 00:32:56,569
Yeah. I guess so.
526
00:32:57,897 --> 00:33:02,664
Lucy. Gary was my son along time
before he became your daddy.
527
00:33:07,825 --> 00:33:12,865
Now. Let's go downstairs to dinner and
forget some of these problems, okay?
528
00:33:13,248 --> 00:33:14,249
Okay.
529
00:33:29,433 --> 00:33:31,800
- Thank you. Teresa.
- Yes. Ma'am.
530
00:33:33,396 --> 00:33:36,605
Well. The atmosphere around this table
is cold enough to chill the wine.
531
00:33:36,900 --> 00:33:39,062
I think we all know the cause of that.
532
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,210
We could try and be a little more civil
to each other.
533
00:33:42,490 --> 00:33:44,379
Well. Perhaps you'd
like to teach us. Lucy.
534
00:33:46,203 --> 00:33:47,489
Who could that be?
535
00:33:47,705 --> 00:33:50,026
I'm not expecting anybody.
That's for sure.
536
00:33:59,385 --> 00:34:03,106
Hello. I'm Brooks Oliver. I'd like to see
Miss Ellie for a moment. Please.
537
00:34:03,431 --> 00:34:04,956
Just one moment.
538
00:34:06,018 --> 00:34:08,942
Brooks. Come in.
Doesn't he know what time people eat?
539
00:34:09,230 --> 00:34:11,881
Remarks like that
you can keep to yourself. J.R.
540
00:34:13,234 --> 00:34:17,319
I'm sorry to barge in on you like this.
But I've got something to tell you.
541
00:34:17,656 --> 00:34:19,499
And I was on my way
to see friends nearby.
542
00:34:19,742 --> 00:34:22,427
Well. That's all right.
Have you met my family?
543
00:34:22,704 --> 00:34:25,992
- No. I know Pam.
- Brooks.
544
00:34:26,291 --> 00:34:29,898
My sons. Bobby. J.R..
J.R.'s wife, Sue Ellen...
545
00:34:30,212 --> 00:34:31,623
and my granddaughter. Lucy.
546
00:34:31,839 --> 00:34:34,319
- Hi.
- My pleasure.
547
00:34:34,592 --> 00:34:37,960
Don't let me interrupt your dinner.
May I talk to you for a minute?
548
00:34:38,263 --> 00:34:40,504
Yes. Of course.
549
00:34:46,398 --> 00:34:49,607
I was able to get a date on the
court calendar sooner than I expected.
550
00:34:49,902 --> 00:34:51,904
- The name Ewing helped.
- Yes.
551
00:34:52,196 --> 00:34:55,200
The hearing on the will
is scheduled for next Tuesday.
552
00:35:08,549 --> 00:35:10,358
All rise. Court will come to order.
553
00:35:12,053 --> 00:35:16,502
Judge Howard Mantee presiding.
Court case number 4418.
554
00:35:16,933 --> 00:35:22,064
Eleanor Southworth Ewing v. The estate
of John Ross Ewing Sr., deceased.
555
00:35:25,026 --> 00:35:27,427
Mr. Oliver. Are you
ready for the plaintiff?
556
00:35:27,696 --> 00:35:29,141
Yes. Your Honor.
557
00:35:29,406 --> 00:35:32,410
Mr. Smithfield.
Are you ready for the defense?
558
00:35:32,702 --> 00:35:33,783
Lam. Your Honor.
559
00:35:34,495 --> 00:35:36,941
Mr. Oliver. May we have
your opening statement?
560
00:35:38,125 --> 00:35:40,173
Your Honor. Although our action...
561
00:35:40,419 --> 00:35:44,219
places the entire will
of John Ross Ewing Sr. In jeopardy...
562
00:35:44,549 --> 00:35:47,155
in point of fact.
My client wishes to address herself...
563
00:35:47,427 --> 00:35:49,668
solely to the codicil to the will...
564
00:35:49,930 --> 00:35:52,092
drawn by her husband
shortly before his death.
565
00:35:52,349 --> 00:35:54,431
It is our contention that the codicil...
566
00:35:54,686 --> 00:35:56,768
is inconsistent
with Mr. Ewing's character...
567
00:35:57,022 --> 00:36:02,188
inconsistent with his known devotion
as a husband and father.
568
00:36:02,570 --> 00:36:06,017
We further believe
that the codicil casts serious questions...
569
00:36:06,324 --> 00:36:10,648
as to the soundness of his judgment
toward the end of his life.
570
00:36:10,996 --> 00:36:13,363
And we petition the court to eliminate it.
571
00:36:16,795 --> 00:36:18,365
Mr. Smithfield?
572
00:36:19,381 --> 00:36:21,145
Your Honor. On behalf of the estate...
573
00:36:21,383 --> 00:36:23,704
we will present testimony
supporting our belief...
574
00:36:23,970 --> 00:36:26,541
that the late Mr. Ewing
was indeed of sound judgment...
575
00:36:26,806 --> 00:36:28,296
to the very end of his days...
576
00:36:28,517 --> 00:36:32,078
and that his codicil
very precisely reflects his intention...
577
00:36:32,396 --> 00:36:35,479
with respect to his inheritors
and the Ewing Oil Company.
578
00:36:36,860 --> 00:36:39,306
Bailiff. Call the first witness.
579
00:36:39,571 --> 00:36:41,938
Will Senator David Culver
take the witness stand.
580
00:36:50,250 --> 00:36:52,014
Raise your right hand.
581
00:36:52,586 --> 00:36:56,432
Do you swear that the testimony you
are about to give in the case on trial...
582
00:36:56,758 --> 00:36:59,489
will be the truth, the whole truth.
Nothing but the truth?
583
00:36:59,761 --> 00:37:01,889
- I do.
- State your name and occupation.
584
00:37:02,139 --> 00:37:03,982
Dave Culver.
I'm a United States senator.
585
00:37:04,225 --> 00:37:05,670
You may be seated.
586
00:37:07,478 --> 00:37:10,084
Senator Culver. It was you. I believe...
587
00:37:10,357 --> 00:37:13,998
who first approached Jock about
taking that trip for the State Department.
588
00:37:15,530 --> 00:37:17,373
Yes. All I wanted was his advice.
589
00:37:17,615 --> 00:37:19,902
I thought he'd suggest someone
suitable for the job.
590
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,925
- And he suggested himself.
- He sure did.
591
00:37:23,205 --> 00:37:26,175
He seemed anxious to go.
He wanted to jump in with both feet.
592
00:37:26,459 --> 00:37:29,941
- Did that concern you?
- Well. Yes.
593
00:37:30,255 --> 00:37:33,020
He wasn't a young man.
It would be a great strain put upon him.
594
00:37:33,300 --> 00:37:37,225
But once he hit upon an idea.
He just wouldn't let go of it.
595
00:37:37,555 --> 00:37:38,841
You mean in an obsessive way?
596
00:37:39,057 --> 00:37:42,027
Objection. Your Honor.
Counsel is leading the witness.
597
00:37:42,811 --> 00:37:44,222
Sustained.
598
00:37:45,731 --> 00:37:48,462
I understand.
I don't know if I'd call it obsessive.
599
00:37:49,444 --> 00:37:53,085
It was more like
this trip could be his last hurrah.
600
00:37:53,824 --> 00:37:55,110
Last hurrah?
601
00:37:55,326 --> 00:37:59,411
Sort of a last grand gesture
of a great man.
602
00:38:05,337 --> 00:38:08,580
Now. Mr. Horner, these letters
he wrote you from South America...
603
00:38:08,883 --> 00:38:12,649
would you please tell the court what
it was you found different about them?
604
00:38:12,971 --> 00:38:16,498
Well. It's just that Jock seemed
so concerned about the company.
605
00:38:16,809 --> 00:38:17,810
Was that unusual?
606
00:38:18,019 --> 00:38:21,387
Well. It was the degree of concern
that struck me. Minor, trivial details.
607
00:38:21,690 --> 00:38:23,818
He wasn't a man to worry
about such things.
608
00:38:24,068 --> 00:38:27,072
As president of the Cattleman's Bank.
You knew him pretty well.
609
00:38:27,363 --> 00:38:28,694
We were his principal bankers.
610
00:38:29,449 --> 00:38:32,532
And you found these letters to be
inconsistent with the man you knew.
611
00:38:32,828 --> 00:38:34,068
They were quite different.
612
00:38:34,997 --> 00:38:36,522
In what way?
613
00:38:37,375 --> 00:38:40,743
Well. He kept going over and over
the same thing. Like he was forgetful.
614
00:38:41,630 --> 00:38:43,871
He couldn't keep things straight.
615
00:38:44,133 --> 00:38:46,704
There's a word for that
in a man of his age.
616
00:38:48,679 --> 00:38:51,603
- You mean �senility�?
- Objection. Your Honor.
617
00:38:53,185 --> 00:38:55,950
The witness is a banker.
Not a psychiatrist.
618
00:38:56,230 --> 00:38:58,198
We grant that. Your Honor.
619
00:38:58,441 --> 00:39:01,012
The witness has known the deceased
for more than 30 years.
620
00:39:01,277 --> 00:39:05,441
He's certainly qualified to recognize
a marked difference in behavior.
621
00:39:06,700 --> 00:39:08,145
Let the testimony stand.
622
00:39:11,748 --> 00:39:14,797
- Thank you. Mr. Homer.
- You may step down.
623
00:39:15,169 --> 00:39:17,615
Your Honor, that will be
our last witness for now.
624
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,121
I would like to delay calling
Mrs. Eleanor Ewing...
625
00:39:20,383 --> 00:39:22,670
until after the defense
has presented its people.
626
00:39:22,928 --> 00:39:24,168
So noted.
627
00:39:24,388 --> 00:39:27,119
Mr. Smithfield. Will you call
your first witness. Please.
628
00:39:29,060 --> 00:39:30,425
You've told us. Mr. Anderson...
629
00:39:30,645 --> 00:39:34,206
that you and Jock were together
a great deal down there.
630
00:39:34,524 --> 00:39:36,731
Now. Did he ever tell you
what his thinking was...
631
00:39:36,986 --> 00:39:38,795
that led to his writing that codicil?
632
00:39:40,073 --> 00:39:43,282
Jock had been worrying a lot
about the future of Ewing Oil.
633
00:39:43,577 --> 00:39:46,899
Matters stood. Miss Ellie was to inherit
total control of the company...
634
00:39:47,206 --> 00:39:50,847
and he was afraid it might be
a little bit too much of a burden for her.
635
00:39:51,628 --> 00:39:53,312
He must have been aware at the time...
636
00:39:53,547 --> 00:39:56,756
that the codicil would lead
to some conflict between his sons.
637
00:39:57,051 --> 00:39:59,372
Oh. He was aware. All right.
638
00:39:59,637 --> 00:40:02,208
He couldn't figure out a better way
to handle the problem.
639
00:40:02,474 --> 00:40:04,363
So if I understand correctly...
640
00:40:04,601 --> 00:40:08,003
it's your opinion that Jock
knew exactly what he was doing...
641
00:40:08,314 --> 00:40:10,078
when he set up that contest?
642
00:40:10,316 --> 00:40:11,602
He knew it'd be tough.
643
00:40:13,361 --> 00:40:15,250
Thank you. Mr. Anderson.
644
00:40:16,698 --> 00:40:17,904
Your witness. Mr. Oliver.
645
00:40:22,789 --> 00:40:23,790
Mr. Anderson...
646
00:40:23,999 --> 00:40:28,607
you've indicated that
Jock Ewing's mind was clear and sharp.
647
00:40:29,422 --> 00:40:32,710
Wasn't he running a fever
the last week of his life?
648
00:40:33,009 --> 00:40:35,489
We both had a little fever.
It came and went.
649
00:40:35,762 --> 00:40:39,050
Fever can be really debilitating.
650
00:40:39,350 --> 00:40:41,398
How high was his temperature?
651
00:40:43,438 --> 00:40:45,008
Hundred and one, two.
652
00:40:45,232 --> 00:40:48,759
My word.
You can become delirious at 103.
653
00:40:49,069 --> 00:40:50,434
Jock wasn't delirious.
654
00:40:50,655 --> 00:40:53,135
How can you tell?
You were burning up. Just like he was.
655
00:40:54,492 --> 00:40:57,621
That is what you've just told us.
Isn't it. Mr. Anderson?
656
00:41:08,884 --> 00:41:11,410
So in your opinion. Mr. Ewing...
657
00:41:11,679 --> 00:41:15,809
what your father wrote in that codicil
was exactly what he meant.
658
00:41:16,143 --> 00:41:19,033
That's right. Really no different
than what he had done before.
659
00:41:19,313 --> 00:41:21,919
He was always pitting Bobby and me
against each other.
660
00:41:22,191 --> 00:41:25,752
I'd run the company. And then he'd give
it to Bobby. And then I'd run it again.
661
00:41:27,406 --> 00:41:31,855
It's just the way my daddy did things.
It was his way of toughening us up.
662
00:41:33,538 --> 00:41:37,020
And it also told him
who was the best man for the job.
663
00:41:37,334 --> 00:41:38,540
Now. Sir. That codicil...
664
00:41:38,752 --> 00:41:42,837
was just an extension of the way
we were raised all our lives.
665
00:41:50,266 --> 00:41:54,157
Well. I see your little wife over there
giving aid and comfort to the opposition.
666
00:41:54,479 --> 00:41:57,085
Opposition? J.R.. that's your mother.
667
00:41:59,818 --> 00:42:01,866
The judge is coming back.
668
00:42:17,422 --> 00:42:20,312
Mrs. Ewing. Did your husband
ever write to you about the codicil?
669
00:42:21,010 --> 00:42:23,490
- No.
- Nothing at all?
670
00:42:24,472 --> 00:42:29,717
Well. He told me on the phone
that he had been trying to plan ahead...
671
00:42:30,104 --> 00:42:33,392
but it was hard. He was tired.
672
00:42:33,691 --> 00:42:38,299
He said that he just wanted to lie down
and go to sleep for a while.
673
00:42:39,323 --> 00:42:41,212
I remember that that frightened me.
674
00:42:41,450 --> 00:42:44,056
Had you ever heard him
say anything like that before?
675
00:42:44,328 --> 00:42:48,413
Never. Jock was as strong as a bull.
676
00:42:48,750 --> 00:42:51,720
It must have been the fever
or whatever. I don't know.
677
00:42:52,004 --> 00:42:56,168
But he just...
He just wasn't himself down there.
678
00:42:56,509 --> 00:43:00,230
But he did write to you
about how he was feeling. Though?
679
00:43:00,556 --> 00:43:03,207
Yes. Yes. Several times.
680
00:43:03,476 --> 00:43:05,046
Mrs. Ewing...
681
00:43:05,812 --> 00:43:08,418
can I ask you to read
some of what he wrote to you?
682
00:43:31,049 --> 00:43:35,054
�I've forgotten how miserable
the jungle can be.
683
00:43:35,388 --> 00:43:39,234
Between the heat and the fatigue.
I'm about done in.
684
00:43:40,644 --> 00:43:44,854
I've been running a fever lately.
But I guess I'll get over that.
685
00:43:45,650 --> 00:43:49,450
If Punk can survive it, so can I.
We're getting things done.
686
00:43:50,739 --> 00:43:54,027
It's not like when
we were young. Though. Ellie.
687
00:43:55,453 --> 00:43:58,900
I'm really feeling the years down here.
688
00:43:59,207 --> 00:44:01,858
My concentration
isn't what it used to be either.
689
00:44:02,586 --> 00:44:06,227
I find myself
trying to figure something out...
690
00:44:06,549 --> 00:44:09,758
then just drifting off someplace...
691
00:44:10,679 --> 00:44:13,364
back to younger days...
692
00:44:14,308 --> 00:44:16,356
younger times.
693
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,451
It's funny. I stare out...
694
00:44:22,776 --> 00:44:27,065
and all of these jungle plants
just kind of dissolve...
695
00:44:28,116 --> 00:44:30,244
and there's your face instead...
696
00:44:32,079 --> 00:44:34,764
just waiting there for me...
697
00:44:36,042 --> 00:44:40,923
my pretty little girl.
My pretty little Ellie.
698
00:44:41,924 --> 00:44:45,451
Lord. How I miss you down here.�
699
00:45:03,407 --> 00:45:06,297
Mrs. Ewing. I won't ask you
to read any more.
700
00:45:06,577 --> 00:45:11,344
May we place these letters in the hands
of the judge for his personal scrutiny?
701
00:45:16,464 --> 00:45:19,673
Mrs. Ewing.
I have just one more question for you.
702
00:45:20,885 --> 00:45:23,934
Aside from the fever. The exhaustion...
703
00:45:24,223 --> 00:45:27,944
are you saying that at the time
your husband wrote the codicil...
704
00:45:28,269 --> 00:45:30,351
he lacked mental competence?
705
00:45:37,947 --> 00:45:40,757
Mrs. Ewing. Please answer the question.
706
00:45:42,828 --> 00:45:46,878
Are you saying that when your husband
wrote the codicil...
707
00:45:47,208 --> 00:45:48,972
he was mentally incompetent?
708
00:45:52,798 --> 00:45:54,641
I'm saying...
709
00:45:55,509 --> 00:46:01,198
that his sense of judgment
was not up to his usual standards.
710
00:46:02,392 --> 00:46:04,281
That's not what I'm asking.
711
00:46:16,742 --> 00:46:22,511
If that's the legal term
you need to break the will...
712
00:46:24,668 --> 00:46:26,318
then yes.
713
00:46:27,046 --> 00:46:30,767
Jock was not mentally competent.
714
00:46:47,820 --> 00:46:51,267
Ladies and gentlemen, you may take
your seat. Court is again in session.
715
00:47:13,975 --> 00:47:15,579
You may be seated.
716
00:47:17,563 --> 00:47:20,692
The court finds the testimony
on the plaintiff's behalf...
717
00:47:20,983 --> 00:47:23,463
both touching and persuasive.
718
00:47:24,154 --> 00:47:27,920
It would appear that the codicil as drawn
was possibly a mistake in judgment.
719
00:47:31,663 --> 00:47:35,793
However. Considering
all the testimony offered...
720
00:47:36,126 --> 00:47:41,292
and even given the fact of the
pressures and illness of Mr. Ewing...
721
00:47:42,008 --> 00:47:46,138
it does appear that he was
of sound mind to the very end.
722
00:47:47,973 --> 00:47:54,094
The court cannot find grounds enough
to overturn his final intentions.
723
00:47:54,856 --> 00:47:58,622
Therefore. It is the decision of this court
to rule for the defendant...
724
00:48:00,112 --> 00:48:04,834
that the will of Mr. John Ross Ewing
Sr.. and its codicil in all particulars...
725
00:48:05,202 --> 00:48:09,526
shall remain intact as drawn.
Judgment is so entered.
726
00:48:10,625 --> 00:48:12,627
- Court is adjourned.
- Harv.
727
00:48:20,219 --> 00:48:21,823
Mama.
728
