1 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,449 I haven't forgotten what you did to my son. 2 00:00:04,687 --> 00:00:07,088 Since the way to your heart is through your company... 3 00:00:07,356 --> 00:00:10,519 I intend to do everything in my power to make that company bleed. 4 00:00:10,818 --> 00:00:13,867 My future and the future of my son is tied with J.R. 5 00:00:14,154 --> 00:00:16,475 Any attack against him would be an attack against me. 6 00:00:16,740 --> 00:00:18,310 And I'll fight right by his side. 7 00:00:18,533 --> 00:00:20,820 J.R. doesn't want that company just for himself. 8 00:00:21,077 --> 00:00:22,681 He wants it for John Ross. 9 00:00:22,912 --> 00:00:25,153 I won't sit back and watch J.R. steal something... 10 00:00:25,414 --> 00:00:26,859 that belongs to Christopher. 11 00:00:27,083 --> 00:00:30,769 I get the distinct feeling there's an army mobilizing against me. 12 00:02:17,225 --> 00:02:19,148 I've been waiting for you. 13 00:02:19,853 --> 00:02:24,142 I thought tonight of all nights you might wanna talk. 14 00:02:24,649 --> 00:02:26,572 Among other things. 15 00:02:27,276 --> 00:02:28,801 Champagne? 16 00:02:29,028 --> 00:02:31,872 Well. I had a feeling we'd be doing a little celebrating tonight. 17 00:02:32,156 --> 00:02:36,161 I bet you did. And why not? You're back in power. 18 00:02:36,493 --> 00:02:39,736 - A place you know and love best. - Almost. 19 00:02:40,038 --> 00:02:42,086 And you knew all about it. 20 00:02:43,249 --> 00:02:46,537 - All about what? - That you'd be back in power... 21 00:02:46,961 --> 00:02:50,170 because you knew exactly what your daddy wrote in that will. 22 00:02:51,257 --> 00:02:54,261 Well. Honey. How could I have known about that? The will was sealed. 23 00:02:54,551 --> 00:02:57,634 And Harv Smithfield's a very tight man with a secret. 24 00:02:58,472 --> 00:03:02,363 Well. I wouldn't even dare guess how you did it. But you did it. 25 00:03:03,309 --> 00:03:06,916 You like that. Don't you? My knowing what no one else knows. 26 00:03:08,398 --> 00:03:11,641 Well. I think it's very interesting. 27 00:03:13,652 --> 00:03:18,340 - Why don't we slip upstairs. Discuss this? - Maybe. 28 00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:21,805 At any rate, I only got half of what I wanted. 29 00:03:22,077 --> 00:03:23,806 I've got a battle on my hands. 30 00:03:24,037 --> 00:03:26,517 - Against Bobby? - Yeah. 31 00:03:28,041 --> 00:03:31,204 I bet you can't even imagine who's gonna win. 32 00:03:31,502 --> 00:03:33,072 Oh. Honey... 33 00:03:33,379 --> 00:03:36,110 if I can't win over that boy scout... 34 00:03:36,382 --> 00:03:39,192 I ought to have my merit badges taken away from me. 35 00:03:53,939 --> 00:03:55,384 Bobby. 36 00:03:56,942 --> 00:03:59,229 It's really late. What are you doing? 37 00:03:59,486 --> 00:04:01,887 I'm just doodling. 38 00:04:10,496 --> 00:04:14,546 You've already started working on it. Haven't you? You didn't waste any time. 39 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,367 Do you think J.R.'s going to? 40 00:04:18,921 --> 00:04:23,006 Bobby. Forgive me. But it was really unfair of Jock to put you in this contest. 41 00:04:23,341 --> 00:04:26,026 Pam. No. It's not like that at all. He didn't have a choice. 42 00:04:26,302 --> 00:04:28,464 He could've given each of you half of the company. 43 00:04:28,721 --> 00:04:30,803 It would've been better for everybody. 44 00:04:31,057 --> 00:04:34,220 You can't split a company like Ewing Oil. 45 00:04:35,019 --> 00:04:38,228 He could've left it the way it was. The whole family was able to vote. 46 00:04:38,689 --> 00:04:40,851 No. That was just an interim agreement. 47 00:04:41,108 --> 00:04:43,475 Ewing Oil needs long-range leadership. 48 00:04:45,237 --> 00:04:48,844 You know I'm behind you on this. It's just I'm afraid it could hurt us. 49 00:04:49,157 --> 00:04:52,127 Pam. Daddy did the only thing he could possibly do. 50 00:04:52,410 --> 00:04:55,016 How could he leave Ewing Oil to one son and not the other? 51 00:04:55,287 --> 00:04:57,733 And yet he had to be sure that whoever was in charge... 52 00:04:57,998 --> 00:04:59,648 was the toughest man for the job. 53 00:05:00,626 --> 00:05:02,708 I'm kind of pleased about the way it turned out. 54 00:05:03,211 --> 00:05:07,455 Daddy had confidence in me. He put me up against J.R. 55 00:05:07,799 --> 00:05:10,405 J.R.'s been in that position of leadership for along time. 56 00:05:11,552 --> 00:05:15,238 You'd better be sure it's worth it. Because he'll fight you with everything he has. 57 00:05:15,556 --> 00:05:17,718 Well. I'm gonna fight him just as hard. 58 00:05:17,975 --> 00:05:21,218 Pam. J.R. doesn't want that company just for himself. 59 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,000 He wants it for John Ross. 60 00:05:24,856 --> 00:05:27,063 And you and I have a son too. 61 00:05:27,317 --> 00:05:29,923 I'm not gonna sit back and watch J.R. steal something... 62 00:05:30,195 --> 00:05:31,685 that belongs to Christopher. 63 00:05:41,914 --> 00:05:46,078 You know. I don't think you could be higher if you were flying on a kite. 64 00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:50,715 - I'm not complaining. - L've noticed. 65 00:05:52,715 --> 00:05:55,764 You know. I've been thinking. Out of all of them... 66 00:05:56,344 --> 00:05:59,393 I think you and I came out the best in this whole thing. 67 00:06:01,265 --> 00:06:03,267 Do you mean to tell me... 68 00:06:03,517 --> 00:06:09,399 that you are not seriously sorry that Jock didn't make you part of Ewing Oil? 69 00:06:10,482 --> 00:06:13,884 It'd be about the last thing in the world I'd ever want. 70 00:06:14,277 --> 00:06:18,441 Besides. I got Southfork to run. That's just fine. 71 00:06:19,573 --> 00:06:21,814 I just don't wanna be anywhere near the slugfest... 72 00:06:22,076 --> 00:06:24,602 that J.R. and Bobby are gonna have. 73 00:06:27,622 --> 00:06:30,990 And the money? 74 00:06:31,292 --> 00:06:33,533 What do you think about the money? 75 00:06:34,962 --> 00:06:37,693 Oh. I suppose it's okay. 76 00:06:38,257 --> 00:06:41,898 Ten million bucks. I guess it is. 77 00:06:43,429 --> 00:06:45,511 I never used to think a man needed more money... 78 00:06:45,764 --> 00:06:48,131 than he could roll up and stick in his pocket. 79 00:06:49,142 --> 00:06:51,622 Too much money can cause you a lot of trouble. 80 00:06:56,357 --> 00:06:58,485 You'll never change. 81 00:06:59,235 --> 00:07:01,886 One good thing about all this. Though. 82 00:07:04,031 --> 00:07:08,480 You mean. There is a spot of hope in the midst of all this gloom? 83 00:07:09,452 --> 00:07:13,935 Yeah. It sort of evens things out between you and me. 84 00:07:14,457 --> 00:07:16,425 You see. I got as much money as you do now. 85 00:07:16,667 --> 00:07:21,355 - We got nothing else to fight about. - You dumb cowboy. 86 00:07:33,516 --> 00:07:35,006 With all due respect. Gentlemen... 87 00:07:35,226 --> 00:07:37,354 it seems to me the easiest way to do this... 88 00:07:37,603 --> 00:07:40,846 would be to attach a monetary figure to each of the assets... 89 00:07:41,148 --> 00:07:43,833 and split it down the middle. Giving half to each brother. 90 00:07:44,109 --> 00:07:46,396 - Hell. No. - No. No. That won't work at all. 91 00:07:46,653 --> 00:07:49,623 I'm afraid it's more complicated than that. Mr. Wallace. 92 00:07:50,073 --> 00:07:52,440 It has to be done the way Jock intended. 93 00:07:52,701 --> 00:07:56,069 Now. Each son must be given a fair and equal start. 94 00:07:56,371 --> 00:07:59,056 What you have to do is separate all of the assets on paper. 95 00:07:59,332 --> 00:08:01,983 The wells. Fields. Undeveloped property. All of it. 96 00:08:02,251 --> 00:08:05,733 Then split up each area individually. 97 00:08:06,380 --> 00:08:09,589 You've also gotta consider the quality of each field. 98 00:08:10,050 --> 00:08:12,052 You see. None of these wells produce the same. 99 00:08:12,427 --> 00:08:13,667 That's so too. 100 00:08:14,012 --> 00:08:17,778 It all breaks down to pumping capacity. That's where it's gotta be equal. 101 00:08:18,808 --> 00:08:20,970 - I understand. - Well. Of course you do. 102 00:08:21,227 --> 00:08:23,309 These gentlemen are old hands at this business. 103 00:08:23,562 --> 00:08:26,884 Why don't we let them get out of here and get on with their jobs. 104 00:08:28,066 --> 00:08:29,431 That's a good idea. 105 00:08:29,985 --> 00:08:32,147 By the way. How much time do we have on this? 106 00:08:32,571 --> 00:08:34,858 - None. - We need it right away. 107 00:08:35,115 --> 00:08:37,163 It's true. Until this split's accomplished... 108 00:08:37,408 --> 00:08:39,376 Ewing Oil Company's operating in a vacuum. 109 00:08:39,827 --> 00:08:42,307 You put your accountants on overtime as necessary... 110 00:08:42,580 --> 00:08:44,503 as long as we get that breakdown fast. 111 00:08:44,748 --> 00:08:46,955 The controller will open the books for you. 112 00:08:48,210 --> 00:08:50,656 - Miss Ellie. Can I take you home? - Yes. Thank you. Punk. 113 00:08:50,921 --> 00:08:52,685 - I'll see you at home. - Bye-bye. Mama. 114 00:08:52,923 --> 00:08:54,084 See you at home. 115 00:08:54,299 --> 00:08:55,710 Bobby. I don't know about you... 116 00:08:55,925 --> 00:08:58,531 but I got an office waiting for me at Ewing Oil. 117 00:09:13,567 --> 00:09:17,367 Lucy? I'm going into Dallas. You wanna come along? 118 00:09:20,364 --> 00:09:24,210 Something wrong? Everything is just perfect. 119 00:09:25,119 --> 00:09:26,848 Sounds like it. 120 00:09:27,079 --> 00:09:30,970 Something happen? Sure. Something happened. 121 00:09:31,458 --> 00:09:33,586 My father appeared. Like a dream. 122 00:09:35,128 --> 00:09:39,338 - So...? - So now he's gone. 123 00:09:39,966 --> 00:09:43,175 He appeared. He disappeared. 124 00:09:43,552 --> 00:09:45,042 Case of the vanishing father. 125 00:09:45,888 --> 00:09:48,459 Lucy. He's got to be very upset about the will. 126 00:09:48,724 --> 00:09:51,170 Why? It's a Ewing tradition. 127 00:09:51,768 --> 00:09:55,215 - Fathers don't take care of their children. - You know Gary loves you. 128 00:09:55,522 --> 00:09:57,570 Really? How can you tell? 129 00:09:58,024 --> 00:10:01,426 Do you know he did not even spend five minutes alone with me last night? 130 00:10:01,736 --> 00:10:03,306 Not even five minutes. 131 00:10:03,529 --> 00:10:06,453 He heard the will and he ran with his tail between his legs. 132 00:10:06,740 --> 00:10:10,108 He just needed time to think. To adjust to the terms of the will. 133 00:10:12,245 --> 00:10:15,806 - Sure. - Gary's not the only one affected by this. 134 00:10:16,124 --> 00:10:18,491 That will's gonna be a disaster for all Jack's sons. 135 00:10:19,210 --> 00:10:21,531 Yes. Well. All of Jack's sons are not my father. 136 00:10:22,171 --> 00:10:25,254 - Pam. I've been through a lot lately. - I know that. 137 00:10:25,841 --> 00:10:28,321 I was kidnapped. It didn't even matter to him. 138 00:10:28,594 --> 00:10:30,437 - Yes, it did. - NO, it didn't. 139 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,967 - He hardly even asked me how I was. - He didn't know how serious it was. 140 00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:36,997 When Bobby called him. Everything was all over. You were safe. 141 00:10:37,394 --> 00:10:39,476 But he wanted to get on a plane and come here. 142 00:10:39,729 --> 00:10:40,935 Yeah. I'll bet he did. 143 00:10:41,147 --> 00:10:45,197 He did. But we talked him out of it. We played down the whole awful thing. 144 00:10:45,526 --> 00:10:47,927 For your sake as well as for his. 145 00:10:48,946 --> 00:10:52,792 No matter what you say. I know what my father is. 146 00:10:53,367 --> 00:10:56,496 It's my own stupidity that makes me think he'll ever change. 147 00:11:05,461 --> 00:11:08,544 I don't want you to worry about a thing. Miss Ellie... 148 00:11:08,839 --> 00:11:10,841 because I'm personally gonna see to it... 149 00:11:11,091 --> 00:11:13,332 that there's not a horsehair of difference... 150 00:11:13,594 --> 00:11:16,120 between J.R.'s share and Bobby's. 151 00:11:16,388 --> 00:11:17,992 I know you will, Punk. 152 00:11:18,223 --> 00:11:20,305 But that's not what's on my mind. 153 00:11:20,558 --> 00:11:22,162 Talk to me. 154 00:11:23,019 --> 00:11:27,980 Well. I know that Jock wanted each of the boys to have a fair chance. 155 00:11:28,357 --> 00:11:31,281 And I guess in business, that's all right. 156 00:11:31,568 --> 00:11:36,017 But I'm just so afraid about what this fight will do to the family. 157 00:11:36,698 --> 00:11:38,427 They're different, my boys. 158 00:11:38,658 --> 00:11:41,502 They both have a different outlook on life. 159 00:11:41,995 --> 00:11:45,716 But they're hard and brutal fighters. 160 00:11:46,415 --> 00:11:49,942 And sometimes. They make me afraid. 161 00:11:50,753 --> 00:11:55,919 - Do you understand. Punk? - I do. I do. Miss Ellie. 162 00:11:56,925 --> 00:12:01,249 But I think it's real important for you to understand something too. 163 00:12:02,597 --> 00:12:06,044 I was with Jock down there when he made this decision. 164 00:12:06,350 --> 00:12:10,674 It was one of the hardest things he ever had to do, to split his two boys. 165 00:12:11,021 --> 00:12:13,945 Two boys that he loved very much. 166 00:12:14,441 --> 00:12:18,685 I tell you. Miss Ellie. He agonized over it terrible. 167 00:12:19,613 --> 00:12:22,901 Then. For Lord's sake. Why did he do it? 168 00:12:23,199 --> 00:12:27,921 Because he always kept coming back to this one thing. 169 00:12:28,287 --> 00:12:32,451 That only the strongest was to take control of Ewing Oil Company. 170 00:12:32,791 --> 00:12:36,159 He had to make sure which one was the strongest. 171 00:12:36,753 --> 00:12:40,599 - I so wish there was another way. - So did Jock. 172 00:12:41,341 --> 00:12:44,390 Believe me. So did Jock. 173 00:12:52,142 --> 00:12:53,303 Mr. Ewing. 174 00:12:53,519 --> 00:12:54,805 - Hello. Kendal. - Hello. 175 00:12:55,020 --> 00:12:57,261 - Come on in here. - Yes. Sir. 176 00:12:58,190 --> 00:12:59,396 Morning. Ladies. 177 00:12:59,608 --> 00:13:00,939 - J.R. - Welcome back. 178 00:13:01,151 --> 00:13:02,994 Well. Thank you. It's good to be back. 179 00:13:03,236 --> 00:13:04,442 - For you. - Thank you. 180 00:13:04,654 --> 00:13:06,019 - And that's for you. - Thank you. 181 00:13:06,239 --> 00:13:07,729 And this one for you, Kendal. 182 00:13:07,949 --> 00:13:09,110 I'm sorry it's not more... 183 00:13:09,325 --> 00:13:11,851 but prices have gone up. And I have been unemployed. 184 00:13:12,828 --> 00:13:15,035 Well. It's the thought that counts. 185 00:13:15,330 --> 00:13:18,300 - I knew you'd understand. Ls Bobby in? - Yes. He is. I'll buzz him. 186 00:13:18,583 --> 00:13:21,393 - Good. Get Walt Driscoll at the OLM. - Yes.

Cliff. It doesn't have to mean anything to you. 245 00:18:12,604 --> 00:18:14,732 Yeah. Well. What if he uses his new influence... 246 00:18:14,981 --> 00:18:17,587 as a power base to have Marilee Stone dump me? 247 00:18:17,942 --> 00:18:19,592 Dump you? 248 00:18:19,819 --> 00:18:22,629 Yeah.

That never stopped you. 376 00:26:23,722 --> 00:26:25,724 Different times, J.R.. And a different woman. 377 00:26:25,974 --> 00:26:28,136 I got a beautiful new wife now. And I tell you... 378 00:26:28,393 --> 00:26:30,202 just nobody can hold a candle to her. 379 00:26:31,271 --> 00:26:32,716 That's wonderful. 380 00:26:32,939 --> 00:26:36,705 - Fetch you a drink? - No. Thanks. 381 00:26:39,111 --> 00:26:42,399 I don't have much time. Maybe you ought to tell me why you asked me here. 382 00:26:42,698 --> 00:26:45,269 Well. I wanted to ask you for a little favor. Walt. 383 00:26:45,659 --> 00:26:48,185 And you know how I remember people who do me favors. 384 00:26:48,453 --> 00:26:50,262 What's on your mind? 385 00:26:50,747 --> 00:26:52,829 Before the Ewing Oil split. My little brother... 386 00:26:53,082 --> 00:26:56,006 made a series of voluntary production cutbacks... 387 00:26:56,294 --> 00:26:58,137 and I'd like to pick up on the slack. 388 00:26:58,379 --> 00:27:01,462 Boost my production. Just on the oil wells that I control. Of course. 389 00:27:01,757 --> 00:27:05,364 If it was a voluntary cutback, there's no problem. Bring it up to the old limits. 390 00:27:05,927 --> 00:27:09,249 Actually. I was thinking of going beyond those old limits. 391 00:27:09,806 --> 00:27:13,367 - You know I can't let you do that. J.R. - Well. Sure you can. 392 00:27:13,685 --> 00:27:17,007 Everybody else is cutting back. I just want you to raise the limits for me. 393 00:27:17,438 --> 00:27:20,726 What do you wanna pump more oil for? Everybody's sitting on what they got. 394 00:27:21,775 --> 00:27:24,858 Well. I have other plans. This glut's not gonna last forever. 395 00:27:25,153 --> 00:27:26,678 I wanna be ready when it turns around. 396 00:27:26,905 --> 00:27:29,511 I think it's crazy. Anyway. I can't help you. 397 00:27:29,783 --> 00:27:33,390 The OLM's not gonna sanction a production boost now. It's not 1978. 398 00:27:33,703 --> 00:27:37,594 You don't need the board to back you. You can sign that variance all by yourself. 399 00:27:37,915 --> 00:27:39,440 I could. J.R.. but I won't. 400 00:27:40,834 --> 00:27:43,041 As far as I'm concerned. It's over. 401 00:27:43,295 --> 00:27:46,265 Well. Like my daddy used to say. �The opera ain't over... �. 402 00:27:46,548 --> 00:27:48,391 Till the fat lady sings? 403 00:27:54,555 --> 00:27:56,239 Yeah. That's right. 404 00:28:01,312 --> 00:28:02,723 Lucy. I'm delighted. 405 00:28:02,938 --> 00:28:06,067 I could keep you working 11 days a week. You know that? 406 00:28:06,358 --> 00:28:08,929 Well. Not too much. I'm still a little shaky. 407 00:28:09,194 --> 00:28:11,765 I know that. Love. Just joshing. 408 00:28:12,030 --> 00:28:15,193 Not that I couldn't get you the bookings. You understand. 409 00:28:15,491 --> 00:28:18,734 - Thank you. - Just take it nice and easy at first. Okay? 410 00:28:19,036 --> 00:28:21,516 Give you a chance to get your feet wet again. 411 00:28:21,789 --> 00:28:24,156 - In fact. You know. I was... - Blair... I'm sorry. Go on. 412 00:28:24,416 --> 00:28:26,180 No. After you. Please. 413 00:28:26,835 --> 00:28:30,726 Well. The whole thing with Roger... 414 00:28:31,256 --> 00:28:33,065 it really frightened me. 415 00:28:33,299 --> 00:28:36,667 And I was wondering... 416 00:28:36,969 --> 00:28:40,451 do you think that maybe we could start off with a lady photographer? 417 00:28:41,223 --> 00:28:43,430 That's just exactly what I was going to suggest. 418 00:28:46,353 --> 00:28:48,321 It might make you feel more comfortable. 419 00:28:49,189 --> 00:28:50,520 It definitely would. 420 00:28:50,732 --> 00:28:52,780 In fact. I might have just the girl for you. 421 00:28:53,026 --> 00:28:56,075 She walked into my office with a portfolio that knocked my eyes out. 422 00:28:56,362 --> 00:28:59,411 You scoot and I'll call her and see if we can book you an assignment. 423 00:28:59,699 --> 00:29:00,985 Great. 424 00:29:06,955 --> 00:29:09,003 There's no need to have a new draft typed up. 425 00:29:09,499 --> 00:29:14,346 I'll just add the words �in principle� here. And you can both initial. 426 00:29:14,838 --> 00:29:17,489 - Fine with me. - All right. 427 00:29:17,965 --> 00:29:19,933 In any case. It's just a letter of agreement. 428 00:29:20,176 --> 00:29:22,224 I'll have the full contract by next week. 429 00:29:23,012 --> 00:29:25,060 So the paragraph will read: 430 00:29:25,306 --> 00:29:28,594 �Wentworth Industries agrees. In principle... 431 00:29:28,892 --> 00:29:31,498 to purchase the entire assets, goodwill... 432 00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:35,252 and name of the Wade Luce Oil Company.� 433 00:29:35,565 --> 00:29:37,055 Yes. 434 00:29:37,942 --> 00:29:41,788 I've got to admit, I'm not overjoyed to be selling this company. 435 00:29:43,405 --> 00:29:45,487 You don't have misgivings about the arrangement? 436 00:29:45,741 --> 00:29:47,106 No. No. No. It's a fair deal. 437 00:29:47,326 --> 00:29:49,852 Good for both sides. Which is the way it should be. 438 00:29:51,079 --> 00:29:54,208 I'm just a little sad to be ending this chapter of my life. 439 00:29:56,084 --> 00:30:00,169 Now if you'll both add your initials right here... 440 00:30:11,932 --> 00:30:17,177 Rebecca. I invested a lot of my life into that company. 441 00:30:17,770 --> 00:30:19,340 I hope you put it to real good use. 442 00:30:21,107 --> 00:30:25,556 Thank you. I'm planning to do just that. 443 00:30:37,872 --> 00:30:40,239 Oh. Look. Christopher. There's your mother. 444 00:30:40,500 --> 00:30:45,062 Come on. Let's go see her. Come on. Oh. I love you. I love you. 445 00:30:52,469 --> 00:30:56,315 Hi. Oh. How's Mommy's big boy? 446 00:30:57,223 --> 00:30:59,385 - How was your day? - Well. It was exhausting. 447 00:30:59,642 --> 00:31:02,851 One of the instructors was sick and I had to teach two classes myself. 448 00:31:03,145 --> 00:31:05,512 Take a bath before dinner. You'll feel better. 449 00:31:05,981 --> 00:31:09,508 Well. That's a great idea. Thank you. You wanna take a bath with Mama? 450 00:31:11,153 --> 00:31:13,679 - Miss Pamela, there's a phone call for you. - Yeah? 451 00:31:13,947 --> 00:31:15,631 Oh. Thank you. 452 00:31:22,497 --> 00:31:25,068 Hello? Yes. 453 00:31:25,333 --> 00:31:27,301 Mr. Eccles! 454 00:31:27,835 --> 00:31:29,405 Yeah? 455 00:31:29,837 --> 00:31:32,761 Well. That's wonderful. Yes. 456 00:31:33,757 --> 00:31:39,287 Yes. Well. We'll see you then. Thank you so much. Goodbye. 457 00:31:39,679 --> 00:31:42,330 That was the attorney who's handling Christopher's adoption. 458 00:31:42,598 --> 00:31:44,362 He got a date for the final hearing. 459 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,251 Oh. Pam. That's good news. 460 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,602 We're on the calendar a week from today. 461 00:31:49,855 --> 00:31:51,664 Aren't you gonna call Bobby and tell him? 462 00:31:52,357 --> 00:31:55,725 He's at the Fairview. He's in a meeting with some oilmen from Canada. 463 00:31:56,027 --> 00:31:58,871 I don't think I'll interrupt him. We'll tell Daddy later. 464 00:32:07,246 --> 00:32:11,331 It's a prime oil. A light crude. Just like they have in the Middle East. 465 00:32:11,792 --> 00:32:14,079 And if the pool underneath is as big as it seems... 466 00:32:14,336 --> 00:32:17,146 we'll have more oil than any independent can handle. 467 00:32:17,422 --> 00:32:20,028 Independents have more oil than they can handle right now. 468 00:32:20,300 --> 00:32:22,621 Sure. For the short run. 469 00:32:22,969 --> 00:32:27,099 The pool means America won't have to go to North Africa for quality light crude. 470 00:32:27,431 --> 00:32:30,275 We'll have it here. In quantity. On this continent. 471 00:32:33,395 --> 00:32:37,036 Well. It seems to me that it's gonna take an awful lot of money... 472 00:32:37,482 --> 00:32:40,292 and an awful lot of time just to get it out of the ground. 473 00:32:40,568 --> 00:32:44,368 But that's the beauty of this situation. It's already presold to the majors. 474 00:32:45,907 --> 00:32:49,673 Once we start pumping and prove the quantity and quality of that oil... 475 00:32:49,994 --> 00:32:53,999 we can turn it over to them for an immediate BOO-percent profit. 476 00:32:54,790 --> 00:32:59,000 They do all the work, and we still maintain 10 percent of the royalties. 477 00:32:59,336 --> 00:33:01,179 I see what you mean. 478 00:33:01,671 --> 00:33:05,517 It's blue chip all the way. Those geological reports are sterling. 479 00:33:06,092 --> 00:33:08,663 The leases we're holding expire in the next few months... 480 00:33:08,928 --> 00:33:10,930 which is why we're pressed to move now. 481 00:33:12,598 --> 00:33:14,327 Okay. So much for the good news. 482 00:33:14,558 --> 00:33:17,801 Now. What's the downside on this whole deal? 483 00:33:19,062 --> 00:33:21,349 Bobby. We honestly haven't been able to fault it. 484 00:33:21,731 --> 00:33:24,052 If we can't triple our investment in a year... 485 00:33:24,442 --> 00:33:28,891 eighteen months maximum. Then we're in the wrong business. 486 00:33:30,739 --> 00:33:32,787 Well. If you're right... 487 00:33:34,576 --> 00:33:37,739 - it sure looks pretty. - It is pretty. 488 00:33:38,038 --> 00:33:41,121 I've never been more sure of an investment in my life. 489 00:33:42,917 --> 00:33:47,605 But it's the time. 490 00:33:49,340 --> 00:33:52,423 It's the time element that scares me. 491 00:33:55,471 --> 00:33:59,362 I am in a very peculiar situation right now at Ewing Oil. 492 00:34:01,142 --> 00:34:03,748 You've gotta let me have a little time to think it over. 493 00:34:06,522 --> 00:34:09,287 Understand, we don't have much time. 494 00:34:09,567 --> 00:34:12,855 We're not trying to rush you. It's just that our situation is delicate. 495 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,527 The investment you're asking for is not peanuts. 496 00:34:16,406 --> 00:34:18,249 But we can't leave Dallas without a deal. 497 00:34:19,618 --> 00:34:22,622 I think you should realize we'll be meeting with some other oilmen. 498 00:34:25,373 --> 00:34:26,704 Right. 499 00:34:28,668 --> 00:34:31,831 Well. I'll call you as soon as I can. 500 00:34:32,129 --> 00:34:34,973 I wanna thank you for calling me first. 501 00:34:35,257 --> 00:34:36,622 Bye-bye. 502 00:34:38,385 --> 00:34:39,671 What do you think? 503 00:34:39,886 --> 00:34:42,253 I'm a little amazed. I thought he'd jump at it. 504 00:34:42,514 --> 00:34:44,596 It's one of the best deals we ever put together. 505 00:34:47,477 --> 00:34:50,401 I didn't know that you and Rebecca were such good friends. 506 00:34:50,730 --> 00:34:53,336 - Her late husband and I were old friends. - Really? 507 00:34:53,607 --> 00:34:58,568 Yes. I like Rebecca. She's a strong. Proud lady. 508 00:34:58,946 --> 00:35:02,871 Funny. She never impressed me as being particularly strong. 509 00:35:03,575 --> 00:35:06,340 She scratched her way over from the tough side of the tracks. 510 00:35:06,619 --> 00:35:10,908 Taught herself how to type so she could work at something besides waitressing. 511 00:35:11,249 --> 00:35:14,332 - Practically taught herself how to read. - I didn't know that. 512 00:35:14,627 --> 00:35:17,233 Rebecca Wentworth's strong. All right. 513 00:35:17,546 --> 00:35:21,551 I think J.R.'s concerned that what she said in the restaurant was quite serious. 514 00:35:21,883 --> 00:35:24,363 He should be. She is. 515 00:35:25,053 --> 00:35:28,262 - How do you fit into it? - Me? 516 00:35:29,557 --> 00:35:32,037 If she were to take action against him... 517 00:35:32,310 --> 00:35:34,438 - would you side with her? - Against J.R.? 518 00:35:37,773 --> 00:35:41,858 - That would bother you. Wouldn't it? - Yes. 519 00:35:42,235 --> 00:35:44,920 Because my future and the future of my son... 520 00:35:45,196 --> 00:35:46,766 is tied with J.R. 521 00:35:46,990 --> 00:35:49,721 Any attack against him would be an attack against me. 522 00:35:51,119 --> 00:35:54,487 That means you've decided to go ahead with the wedding? 523 00:35:55,414 --> 00:35:56,984 Yes. I have. 524 00:35:59,334 --> 00:36:01,382 And I'll fight right by his side. 525 00:36:04,923 --> 00:36:07,494 - Yeah? - Sergeant McSween is here. 526 00:36:07,759 --> 00:36:09,966 - Send him in. - Yes, sir. 527 00:36:13,514 --> 00:36:15,642 - Harry. - J.R. 528 00:36:15,933 --> 00:36:17,822 You know a Walt Driscoll? 529 00:36:18,060 --> 00:36:22,543 - Head of the OLM? I know of him. - Get me a rundown on him. Will you? 530 00:36:22,898 --> 00:36:25,902 - Is he giving you problems? - Let's just say he has something I want. 531 00:36:26,192 --> 00:36:28,081 I'd like to persuade him to give it to me. 532 00:36:28,361 --> 00:36:31,808 - Any particular area you want looked into? - You're the police officer. 533 00:36:32,115 --> 00:36:33,958 I'm not gonna tell you how to do your job. 534 00:36:34,283 --> 00:36:35,489 I'll check it out. 535 00:36:36,368 --> 00:36:38,689 There's no better way to make a man see the light... 536 00:36:38,954 --> 00:36:40,877 than a little squeeze on his wounds. 537 00:36:41,665 --> 00:36:43,554 I'll have to find out where they are. 538 00:36:44,042 --> 00:36:46,443 Give it top priority. I don't have a lot of time. 539 00:36:46,962 --> 00:36:48,327 Yes. Sir. 540 00:37:20,492 --> 00:37:23,860 - Hi. - You surprised me. 541 00:37:24,538 --> 00:37:27,109 Well. Aren't you gonna ask me why I'm waiting up for you? 542 00:37:27,374 --> 00:37:29,820 Oh. Sure. Honey. Why are you waiting up for me? 543 00:37:30,084 --> 00:37:31,927 It's a surprise. 544 00:37:34,255 --> 00:37:36,383 I'm sorry. I'm thinking about something else. 545 00:37:36,632 --> 00:37:38,600 I can see that. 546 00:37:38,843 --> 00:37:42,370 The McLeish brothers offered me a deal today on a string of oil fields. 547 00:37:42,679 --> 00:37:46,445 And it looks like a can't-miss situation. I don't know if I can take it. 548 00:37:47,309 --> 00:37:49,710 Well. Do you trust the people who made the offer? 549 00:37:49,978 --> 00:37:52,379 Oh. Yeah. Honey. It's a first-rate Canadian firm. 550 00:37:52,647 --> 00:37:56,811 Friends of Daddy's. As a matter of fact. No. Everything is very reputable. 551 00:37:57,151 --> 00:37:58,562 What's the problem? 552 00:37:58,778 --> 00:38:02,385 Well. It's a large investment and it's a long-range project. 553 00:38:02,698 --> 00:38:05,383 It'd take a year. 18 months before we realize any profits. 554 00:38:05,659 --> 00:38:07,787 Oh. That's what's bothering you. The 18 months? 555 00:38:08,036 --> 00:38:09,879 Well. It's a lot of money to tie up. 556 00:38:10,121 --> 00:38:13,250 If it doesn't come in within a year. It could cost me the company. 557 00:38:13,541 --> 00:38:16,465 Maybe I should just find something that pays off faster. 558 00:38:16,752 --> 00:38:20,313 Why don't you sleep on it? I'm sure you'll come up with an answer. 559 00:38:25,552 --> 00:38:27,441 What is this? 560 00:38:28,472 --> 00:38:30,122 It's a celebration. 561 00:38:30,348 --> 00:38:32,430 - Oh. Look at this. - I told you I had a surprise. 562 00:38:32,684 --> 00:38:33,890 What's the surprise? 563 00:38:34,102 --> 00:38:37,390 I don't know if you wanna hear about it now. It's not like a big oil deal. 564 00:38:37,688 --> 00:38:39,929 Would you just tell me what my surprise is, please? 565 00:38:40,191 --> 00:38:42,114 Christopher's adoption hearing has been set. 566 00:38:42,359 --> 00:38:44,282 We have a date a week from today! 567 00:38:44,736 --> 00:38:46,704 Oh.

Wait! 569 00:38:50,075 --> 00:38:53,045 - You're insane! - I'm a daddy! 570 00:38:57,123 --> 00:39:00,127 - Wonder who that is. - I don't know. 571 00:39:06,423 --> 00:39:09,074 - Hello. Afton. - Hi. 572 00:39:10,010 --> 00:39:13,776 - Hello. Cliff. How are you feeling? - All right. 573 00:39:14,097 --> 00:39:18,147 - Would you like some coffee? - Yes. Please. I'd like that. 574 00:39:19,101 --> 00:39:21,945 Cliff. There's something I wanna discuss with you. 575 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,689 I just acquired a company you might be interested in. 576 00:39:26,984 --> 00:39:28,474 Really? 577 00:39:28,777 --> 00:39:31,621 You need somebody to run it into the ground? 578 00:39:31,905 --> 00:39:35,626 - Cliff. - Lt's my specialty. 579 00:39:35,950 --> 00:39:38,840 I bought the Wade Luce Oil Company. 580 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:43,523 Oh. I see. And the position of embezzler is open. 581 00:39:44,375 --> 00:39:45,820 Cliff... 582 00:39:47,753 --> 00:39:50,199 I want you to head the company for me. 583 00:39:50,464 --> 00:39:53,991 I'm not joking. And I won't interfere. 584 00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:56,746 You can run it just the way you want to. 585 00:39:57,970 --> 00:40:01,611 You know. It's funny. I thought failure was just on Digger's side of the family. 586 00:40:01,932 --> 00:40:03,980 I didn't realize it was on your side too. 587 00:40:04,226 --> 00:40:07,230 I'm not a failure. Cliff. And neither are you. 588 00:40:08,021 --> 00:40:11,025 Now. I've bought an oil company and I don't know the business. 589 00:40:11,316 --> 00:40:13,398 I'd like you to run it. 590 00:40:14,361 --> 00:40:16,250 And I wouldn't mind a bit... 591 00:40:16,487 --> 00:40:19,172 if you used it as a bludgeon against J.R. Ewing. 592 00:40:19,824 --> 00:40:21,269 Nope. 593 00:40:21,492 --> 00:40:25,258 Every time I've gone up against that man. I wind up holding the bag. 594 00:40:26,246 --> 00:40:28,248 You've never had my full support before. 595 00:40:29,541 --> 00:40:31,384 I'm willing to give it to you now. 596 00:40:34,212 --> 00:40:35,816 Thank you. 597 00:40:36,047 --> 00:40:38,095 I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sound flip. 598 00:40:38,341 --> 00:40:42,471 I appreciate your confidence. But I just can't take another defeat. 599 00:40:45,097 --> 00:40:48,146 I just couldn't stand it. 600 00:41:15,583 --> 00:41:17,745 Well. Glad to see you so happy. Bobby. 601 00:41:18,002 --> 00:41:20,573 Hope you can make it last the rest of the year. 602 00:41:21,047 --> 00:41:24,130 We're talking about Christopher's adoption hearing. It's next week. 603 00:41:24,425 --> 00:41:27,588 Oh. Good. I hope everything goes real smooth. 604 00:41:27,886 --> 00:41:31,015 So do I. I can't think of a single reason why it wouldn't, can you? 605 00:41:32,683 --> 00:41:35,129 No. No. 606 00:41:35,393 --> 00:41:37,600 No. Well. Mama. I gotta go. 607 00:41:38,605 --> 00:41:41,211 - I'll call you later. - Bye-bye. 608 00:41:41,899 --> 00:41:43,389 Well. That's wonderful. 609 00:41:43,609 --> 00:41:45,532 Little baby Christopher's gonna be a Ewing... 610 00:41:45,778 --> 00:41:47,064 John Ross is coming home. 611 00:41:47,279 --> 00:41:50,089 You're gonna be happy. Those rascals running around Southfork. 612 00:41:50,365 --> 00:41:52,254 Yes. I am. 613 00:41:54,828 --> 00:41:57,672 But there's one thing that doesn't make me happy. J.R. 614 00:41:57,956 --> 00:42:01,119 This fight between you and Bobby over the company. 615 00:42:02,293 --> 00:42:04,773 Daddy set that up. I didn't have anything to do with it. 616 00:42:05,046 --> 00:42:06,207 I know that. 617 00:42:06,422 --> 00:42:10,268 And I think I understand why he did it. But it doesn't make me feel any better. 618 00:42:10,843 --> 00:42:12,686 He was just trying to do what was right. 619 00:42:13,595 --> 00:42:15,279 I wonder. 620 00:42:16,097 --> 00:42:18,862 Anyway. I want you to know that it's going to be hard... 621 00:42:19,142 --> 00:42:21,907 but I'll do my very best to keep from taking sides. 622 00:42:22,395 --> 00:42:24,443 You have a knack for doing the right thing too. 623 00:42:24,772 --> 00:42:27,343 I'm not taking sides. I'm against this fight. 624 00:42:27,608 --> 00:42:29,576 But if it has to be. I want it fair. 625 00:42:31,779 --> 00:42:33,986 No dirty tricks, J.R. Is that clear? 626 00:42:36,116 --> 00:42:40,724 Mama. When all is said and done. Bobby's my brother and I love him. 627 00:42:41,079 --> 00:42:43,161 I can't think of one reason I'd wanna hurt him. 628 00:42:43,706 --> 00:42:47,427 Well. I sincerely hope that's true. J.R. 629 00:43:05,685 --> 00:43:08,848 - Hi. - Hello. Darling. Didn't you bring the baby? 630 00:43:09,146 --> 00:43:12,389 Well. I was going to. But he was awfully cranky. So I left him at home. 631 00:43:12,691 --> 00:43:14,693 I could've cheered him up. 632 00:43:14,943 --> 00:43:17,310 - You want coffee or tea? - Tea. 633 00:43:17,988 --> 00:43:21,834 I wish you had brought him. I am sort of his grandmother. 634 00:43:23,409 --> 00:43:26,652 Well. A week from today. You will officially be his grandmother. 635 00:43:27,163 --> 00:43:30,531 You got a court date. Oh. Pam. That's wonderful. 636 00:43:30,833 --> 00:43:33,200 - Can I be there? - I came to invite you. 637 00:43:33,460 --> 00:43:35,861 Pam. It's just marvelous. 638 00:43:36,338 --> 00:43:39,740 I can't believe that he's finally going to be mine. 639 00:43:40,508 --> 00:43:43,398 You've had such along wait for this. 640 00:43:46,556 --> 00:43:48,957 I've got some news myself. 641 00:43:49,850 --> 00:43:52,694 I just bought an oil company. 642 00:43:52,978 --> 00:43:55,185 Why? You don't know the first thing about oil. 643 00:43:55,439 --> 00:43:57,248 Cliff does. 644 00:43:58,233 --> 00:44:00,998 Does this have anything to do with you and J.R.? 645 00:44:02,654 --> 00:44:04,622 I certainly hope so. 646 00:44:04,906 --> 00:44:07,113 Hasn't Cliff had enough problems with J.R.? 647 00:44:08,659 --> 00:44:10,900 It's time to stop this insane feud. 648 00:44:11,162 --> 00:44:14,484 - It was almost stopped with his suicide. - That's what I mean. 649 00:44:15,374 --> 00:44:18,218 J.R. Ewing has his whole family behind him... 650 00:44:18,502 --> 00:44:21,233 and their money and their power! 651 00:44:21,504 --> 00:44:24,986 When my son needed me. I wasn't there. 652 00:44:26,175 --> 00:44:30,339 Well. I'll be there from now on. With all of Wentworth behind me. 653 00:44:30,888 --> 00:44:32,049 Listen to me. Mother. 654 00:44:32,264 --> 00:44:36,064 If my brother is dumb enough to start fighting J.R. again. That's his problem. 655 00:44:36,393 --> 00:44:38,157 And I don't care what you do to J.R... 656 00:44:38,395 --> 00:44:40,875 but he and Bobby share two halves of the same company. 657 00:44:41,147 --> 00:44:43,673 You can't attack J.R. without attacking my husband. 658 00:44:45,735 --> 00:44:48,579 And I won't just stand by and watch him be hurt by this battle. 659 00:44:58,622 --> 00:45:01,193 Why don't I buy you an ice cream? 660 00:45:04,294 --> 00:45:07,616 One chocolate and one pistachio, please. 661 00:45:32,903 --> 00:45:36,794 Look. I don't think you should reject the offer out of hand. 662 00:45:37,116 --> 00:45:40,677 I mean. Just think of it. An oil company with the name Barnes-Wentworth on it... 663 00:45:40,994 --> 00:45:42,723 could put you back on your feet. 664 00:45:42,954 --> 00:45:46,675 Do you know how many times I've set my sights on J.R. Ewing? 665 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:52,291 - Cliff. I wasn't talking about J.R. Ewing. - I cannot remember how many times. 666 00:45:52,672 --> 00:45:55,323 I wasn't talking about J.R. 667 00:45:55,591 --> 00:45:59,437 You see. I'm naturally a little gun-shy. I have a right to be. 668 00:45:59,761 --> 00:46:02,970 Why is it that every time I mention your getting back on your feet... 669 00:46:03,265 --> 00:46:05,666 you have to talk about your fight with J.R.? 670 00:46:05,934 --> 00:46:07,663 Why can't you just forget him? 671 00:46:07,894 --> 00:46:11,455 I mean. Take your mother's company and use it for yourself. 672 00:46:11,772 --> 00:46:14,378 I think she hates him more than I do now. 673 00:46:14,650 --> 00:46:18,257 I think she wants to use it to fight back at him. 674 00:46:18,570 --> 00:46:20,459 But nothing says you have to. 675 00:46:20,697 --> 00:46:22,825 Cliff. You're wiser now than you were then. 676 00:46:23,074 --> 00:46:26,442 You'd be in the cartel. You'd have allies and proper backing. 677 00:46:26,828 --> 00:46:29,479 Nobody's forcing you to go out there and fight that man. 678 00:46:29,747 --> 00:46:33,069 Why don't you just go build yourself the best company you know how? 679 00:46:40,090 --> 00:46:42,696 I don't like pistachio anymore. 680 00:46:50,683 --> 00:46:53,414 - Yeah? - Sergeant McSween is here, .I.R. 681 00:46:53,686 --> 00:46:55,131 Show him in. 682 00:47:00,359 --> 00:47:02,123 - Come right in. - Thank you. 683 00:47:02,361 --> 00:47:03,965 - Hello. Harry. - J.R. 684 00:47:04,196 --> 00:47:06,927 - What you got for me? - Well. Not a whole lot. 685 00:47:07,198 --> 00:47:11,203 We went back and forth over Driscoll. And he keeps coming up straight aces. 686 00:47:11,536 --> 00:47:14,779 He's no more than a social drinker. He works hard at his job... 687 00:47:15,081 --> 00:47:17,243 and he keeps his nose clean of other women. 688 00:47:17,500 --> 00:47:19,628 Yeah. Well. I know all his good points. 689 00:47:19,877 --> 00:47:21,288 What about his wife? 690 00:47:21,503 --> 00:47:25,144 Well. We didn't dig into her too deep. But there is one thing. 691 00:47:25,465 --> 00:47:26,751 She's had three arrests. 692 00:47:27,217 --> 00:47:29,060 For what? Reckless driving. 693 00:47:29,302 --> 00:47:32,226 You follow that lady for a couple blocks. And you'll see why. 694 00:47:32,513 --> 00:47:34,242 Reckless driving. 695 00:47:35,683 --> 00:47:37,412 No convictions, though. 696 00:47:37,643 --> 00:47:41,409 I've got an idea somebody down at the department's looking after her. 697 00:47:41,730 --> 00:47:44,939 - Or for Driscoll. - He's got a few friends. 698 00:47:45,233 --> 00:47:47,679 Boy. I'll tell you. She made a U-turn yesterday... 699 00:47:47,944 --> 00:47:49,833 and damn near got herself obliterated. 700 00:47:51,864 --> 00:47:56,392 Yeah. It seems like he's willing to stick his neck out for her a little bit. Isn't he? 701 00:47:56,744 --> 00:47:59,475 Well. You take one look at that woman. J.R... 702 00:47:59,747 --> 00:48:02,227 and you'll understand Driscoll real well. 703 00:48:02,499 --> 00:48:05,946 She's 21 years younger and built. 704 00:48:07,254 --> 00:48:11,100 So Driscoll is crazy about a lady who's got a driving problem. Huh? 705 00:48:11,466 --> 00:48:15,710 The way she jerks that car around. She's lucky she hasn't killed someone. 706 00:48:16,095 --> 00:48:17,984 Well. Give her time. 707 00:48:18,222 --> 00:48:20,350 Her luck can't last forever. 708 00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,950 Repair and Synchronization by Easy Subtitles Synchronizer 1.0.0.0
