Original subtitles

Announcer: here are some scenes

From the first part of tonight's story.

Better get dressed, honey. Time to go home.

Already?

Yeah. No sense worrying about the baby.

The doctor says he's gonna be fine.

Be home in a few days.

I'm not worried about anything.

I know everything's gonna be just fine.

Hey, sue ellen! Welcome home!

The boys are real happy to have you back.

Why don't you give them a little

Wave or smile or something, huh?

Pam: I know how you feel, cliff,

But there's not just you to consider, or the baby.

There's sue ellen. She's an emotional mess.

It's like she's walking a tightrope,

And any disturbance, the slightest distraction,

And she's gonna fall off.

I want 'em. I want both of 'em.

I would never use what you told me about cliff

And the baby to hurt you.

I don't know what you're talking about, Bobby.

Uh, were you planning

To go into Dallas today?

Of course. I'll go change,

And we can leave.

What is it, sue ellen? Are you all right?

Yes. I'm... I'm just a little dizzy.

I think I'll go upstairs and rest for a while.

Why don't you two go into Dallas?

You know, grandma, I don't think sue ellen

Wants to see the baby.

Of course she does.

Well, you boys are just in

A peck of trouble, aren't you?

You owe us, j.r.! You owe us plenty!

I wouldn't give you a nickel.

Now, come on, just show me

How dumb you really are.

You touch a hair on my head,

I'll have you back in prison before nightfall.

We're gonna see to it

You're really sorry for this, j.r.

The only think I'm ever gonna be sorry for...

Is it wasn't you who fell off that roof instead of Julie.

I told you to stay away

From sue ellen and the baby.

How do you intend to stop it?

That child in there is mine.

You really don't care

How many lives you destroy, do you?

As long as you get what you want.

How many ewing lives? No.

I'm warning you, cliff.

Sue ellen can't take any pressure.

Not now. She's not well enough.

You try and force her to choose

Between you and j.r. And you're

Gonna be driving her back to that sanitarium.

I'm gonna have them both:

Sue ellen and the baby.

I'll get 'em... Any way I have to.

You tell him that if he comes near,

Comes near sue ellen and that baby,

I'm gonna take him apart.

Tell him j.r. And I will make

A scandal so big, it'll ruin him forever.

If the ewing name goes through the mud,

Cliff Barnes goes right along with it.

I am not willing

To put up with one of your scenes, j.r.

All I care about is that you start acting

Like a wife and a mother.

I am doing the best I can!

Well, it's just not good enough.

You've got my mother and my father...

As a matter of fact, everybody in this household...

Wondering what is wrong, why you seem incapable of

Displaying any kind of normal maternal feelings.

Don't you have any sense of what's proper?

That is real good coming from you, j.r.

Here, pick out something real nice,

And we'll go to Dallas.

Now, are you gonna get dressed,

Or am I gonna have to do it for you?

Would you come with me, please?

Who are you?

Lieutenant Simpson, Dallas police.

Well, now, what's going on here, lieutenant?

I'm sorry to have to be

The one to tell you this, sir, ma'am.

Your baby's been kidnapped.

And about how long ago did you discover

The baby was gone?

Uh, it was about, I would say,

Anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes.

And who did you talk to after that?

We contacted the Dallas police department

And also the fbi.

Have the ewings been contacted?

They are in the ward right now.

Simpson: is there anything you can tell us, mrs. Ewing?

Anything that might help?

Well, I haven't been well.

I haven't even seen my baby in days.

How long ago did you leave the hospital?

About 2 or 3 days. I'm not exactly sure.

Before you left here,

Did you notice anything suspicious?

Anything at all that might help

Us find out who took your baby.

He's gone, isn't he?

Really gone?

I'm sorry, mrs. Ewing.

I know this is not easy for you.

It's all my fault.

Exactly how do you mean that, ma'am?

I've done some...

Terrible things, and, uh...

It's only right that I be punished for them.

You think something you did is

Responsible for your child's disappearance?

Lieutenant, I think you're on the wrong track.

If your wife has something to tell me, I think she...

She doesn't have anything to tell you.

She doesn't know anything about that.

If you're trying to obstruct this investigation,

Mr. Ewing, then I must advise you...

Well, now, why would I be doing that?

Don't you think I want my son back?

But I won't have my wife distressed unnecessarily.

Now, you've got to understand.

She's just been in a terrible

Automobile accident several weeks ago, and as a result,

My son was born prematurely. He almost died...

And she blames herself for that.

I'm sorry. I didn't know that, sir.

Well, you can understand

That I don't want her dwelling on that incident.

Right now, emotionally, she's...

She's in a very depressed state.

So, I'd really appreciate it

If you'd just let us go home.

Believe me, neither one of us

Knows anything that'd help.

And you don't know of anyone

Who might want to kidnap your son?

Of course I don't know anyone.

Go home, mr. Ewing.

I'll send some men with you.

We'll want a tap on your phone.

Undoubtedly, you'll be getting

A ransom demand before long.

I suppose you're gonna call the fbi in on this.

Yes, sir, right away.

And, please, mr. Ewing...

Don't do anything foolish.

If the kidnappers manage to make

Direct contact with you

Or any member of your family, let us know.

We can handle these people

A lot better than you can.

OK. Thank you. Appreciate it.

Sue ellen. The lieutenant says we can go home.

What have I done?

Nothing. It's all my fault...

No, darlin', it's not... Shh. Shh.

I didn't mean it to end this way.

Believe me.

Shh. Quiet.

It's my fault.

I know it, darling. No, it's not.

Is she all right?

She's having a hard time.

You got anything to calm her down?

Of course. Bring her this way.

Looks like he's gonna be OK.

Now, get that ointment on good, you hear?

As soon as we finish up here,

We can go give ray a hand.

Sorry, sir.

Miss ellie wants you home fast.

What's up?

She didn't say nothin', except I was to come

Get you and Bobby.

You'll find Bobby up in little horn country.

Man: yes, sir.

Lucy: jimmy!

Yes, ma'am.

What are you doing here?

Your grandma sent me.

Well, what's going on? What's the matter?

Well, she didn't say, miss lucy.

She just said she wants you back at the house

Quick-like.

OK.

I'll follow you home. Let's go.

OK.

Jock: ellie?

What's the matter, miss ellie?

It's... It's the baby.

What... What do you mean, the baby?

He... He...

He's... He's been kidnapped.

My god.

Bobby, what's going on?

I don't know, honey.

Grandma had jimmy come and get me at school.

What's the matter?

Lucy: grandma?

In here.

Grandma, what's going on?

Bobby: mama, what's the matter?

J.r. Called me a little while ago

From... From the hospital.

The baby's been kidnapped.

Kidnapped?

We should have learned a lesson from last year.

Daddy, we can't all walk around with armed guards

For the rest of our lives.

I'm beginning to think it's the only way, Bobby.

Don't the police have any idea?

Not yet.

Is Pamela home yet?

I sent joey in to get her.

She had some appointments this afternoon.

No one knows when she'll be back.

I'm going in to town to get her myself.

Oh, no, Bobby, please.

Let one of the boys go.

Mama, I'll be all right. Just don't worry, OK?

Come on, sue ellen. You all right?

Come on.

Come on, darlin', I'll take you upstairs.

Jock: j.r.

Oh, mama.

Nobody knows anything yet.

The police think we're gonna get

A ransom demand soon.

Sue ellen...

She's all right. The doctor gave her a sedative.

I'm going to take her upstairs.

Oh, uh, these are

Detectives Sutton and Rollins.

They're going to put a tap on the phone.

They notified the fbi.

Reporter on TV: questioning continues

Of possible witnesses to the kidnapping, but so far,

Police sources tell me there are no substantial clues

Or real leads.

The disappearance of baby John Ross ewing iii remains

Shrouded in mystery.

Great. Great. That's all we needed.

Rollins: we'll be hearing

From every crank in Texas now.

Well, there's no way stopping them this time.

No way I know of, sir.

How can it be that no one saw anything?

Rollins: it's always that way

At the beginning, ma'am. It doesn't mean much.

Eventually, somebody remembers something.

I've seen it happen time after time.

That's why we keep digging,

Keep going over and over all the statements.

Hello?

Muriel... No, she's not home.

Well, I'll have her call you as soon as she gets in.

No... No, don't call here.

A cheerleading seminar. Boy, that's all we need now.

I'm sorry, j.r.

All right.

It's my guess the contact

Won't be by phone.

Any pro would know we have a tap

On yours by now.

Last time, they called cliff Barnes.

Rollins: last time?

Oh, yeah, yeah, I remember.

It wasn't my case.

Come to think of it,

It wasn't anybody's case.

You handled the whole thing yourselves.

We did all right. We got Bobby back,

Caught the kidnappers. Didn't cost us a damn cent.

You were lucky.

Man on radio: news bulletin... John Ross ewing iii,

3-week-old son of oil magnate j.r. Ewing,

Has been kidnapped.

The baby was taken from his crib in the Dallas memorial hospital

Earlier today.

So far, there has been no word from either the police

Or the ewing family

Concerning the possibility of a ransom demand.

Man: really something else, ain't it?

Somebody just walks in a hospital

And pick up a baby, walk right out again.

Bobby: pammie.

Pam: Bobby.

I just heard a radio report.

Is it true?

Yes.

I can't believe it. Do the police have any idea?

No. Apparently nobody saw,

Nobody heard a thing.

Pam, have you seen cliff today?

No. I just stopped by his office,

But his secretary hasn't seen him all day.

You don't think cliff had anything to do with this?

Yes. I think that's a pretty safe bet.

It could have been anybody, just anybody.

Who kidnapped you?

Cliff couldn't do something like this.

Pamela, every time that we've said that

In the past, we've been wrong.

Frankly, right now, I think cliff

Is capable of doing anything.

Not kidnapping!

Honey, he as much as told me yesterday

He was planning to do just that!

Stop reading things in his words.

He didn't...

Don't take his side in this, not this time.

I'm not taking his side!

Why don't you be reasonable?

Bobby!

Where are you going?

To find your brother.

Please don't do that.

Pamela, how many times is it gonna take for you

To understand just how much

Your brother hates my family?!

Hello, agnes? It's Pamela ewing.

Has cliff checked in yet?

Well, if he does, would you ask him

To call me before he talks to anybody?

It's real important.

Thank you.

Miss ellie: shouldn't we have heard

Something by now?

Rollins: well, it's hard to say, ma'am.

Sometimes kidnappers move fast.

They think it's the best chance

They have of pulling it off.

Sometimes they go slow

To let the tension and fear build.

Sutton's on the door.

He'll get it.

I'm mrs. Reeves, the baby's nurse.

There's a lady here who says she's mrs. Reeves,

The baby's nurse. Anybody know her?

Mrs. Reeves. I forgot all about her.

That's all right. She's expected.

Good day, mrs. Ewing.

Hello, mrs. Reeves.

The police just told me what happened.

I don't know what to say.

I know. If you'll come with me,

I'll show you your room and you can get comfortable,

Meet the rest of the family later.

Well, thank you. That's very kind of you.

Do the police have any suspects yet?

Any clues?

No, nothing.

Pam: my brother must have been delayed.

I'm sure he'd rather I waited inside, though,

Than out on the street.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Come on, cliff. You must have written down

Where you're going somewhere.

I'm getting sick and tired

Of just sitting around here doing nothing.

Rollins: if there were any way to hurry, sir,

We would.

Miss Ellie: LUCY, where are you going?

I'm going to change clothes

And go to the stable for a while.

It's all right, mama. Police all over the place.

She's right.

I'm not going to sit around here all day.

Hello? Mary Lee.

Yes, honey, we're taking it kind of hard.

Well, she's asleep right now.

Yeah, I'll... I'll tell her just as soon

As she wakes up. Now, I hope you don't think

I'm short with you, but we got to keep

These lines open. All right, bye.

No point in us all sitting around here doing nothing.

I'm going to Dallas.

Jock: j.r.

Dad, I can take care of myself.

If you need me, I'll be in my office.

Let him go, miss ellie.

Sue Ellen: J.R.?

J.r., it's all my fault.

Sue ellen, everything's gonna be all right.

Just go to sleep.

What happened?

Just go to sleep, honey.

It's all my fault.

J.r...

J.r...

I came in as soon as I heard.

Is there anything you want me to do, jock?

Miss ellie: thank you, ray.

Not much any of us can do, ray.

The boys still working?

Yes, sir. Everything's under control out there.

Jock: good. Good.

Rollins: I'm detective Rollins.

Ray krebbs.

Rollins: you pick it up, mr. Ewing.

Yeah.

Hello?

Yes.

Yeah, I'm listening, go ahead.

Now, wait a minute here! Wait a minute!

Hello? Hello?

She hung up.

Miss ellie: who was it?

Jock: some woman.

She said she took the boy, and now she's sorry about it.

We'll find him at city hall by the flag.

Do you think that means...

Rollins: maybe, ma'am.

Mr. Ewing, if you'd go in your car,

Some of the boys will follow,

And I'll have lieutenant Simpson meet you there.

Right.

You want me to go with you, jock?

Yeah.

Be careful.

I will.

Connie: we just heard, j.r. Any news?

No, not yet.

Woman: miss ellie just called.

She wants you to call her right away.

All right. Get her on the line.

Yeah?

Mr. Ames is on the line.

I don't want to talk to him.

He's already called 3 times.

He says it's important.

He's sure you'll want to talk to him.

OK. All right. Put him on.

And, uh, you and connie can go on home.

I don't think we'll get anything

Accomplished today, anyway.

Ames, I thought I told you not to bother me here again.

You're mighty disagreeable

For somebody in need of a favor.

I don't need any favors from you.

You telling me you don't want to see your son again?

What do you want?

That's better, j.r. Let's say a million.

That ought to tide me over

In my hour of need.

I'm detective lieutenant Simpson, sir.

I'm jock ewing. My foreman, ray krebbs.

Ray: lieutenant.

Simpson: you go on down to the flag, sir,

And wait... And you come with me.

I'm not going to cry.

I won't cry anymore.

I've just cried too much already.

When I think... Of how they hurt me

And used me... cliff and j.r., huh...

But they're not gonna hurt me anymore.

Nobody's gonna hurt me anymore...

Not even you.

They left about a half an hour ago.

Well, I think it's a hoax.

Well, detective Rollins seems to think...

That man is a fool. Now, if the call was genuine,

Dad would be on his way to the bank

Instead of city hall.

J.r., not everyone's motivated by greed.

Mother, I don't have time to talk about it right...

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Well, I guess we're all short-tempered today.

Lucy, quick, help sue ellen.

Oh, god.

Oh, my god.

Sue ellen.

I'm OK, lucy. I'll be all right.

Thank you.

Is that sue ellen there?

Yes, she just came down.

Well, what's she doing downstairs?

She should be upstairs in bed.

I'll take care of sue ellen, j.r.

You just get home as soon as you can.

All right, mother.

How do you feel, sue ellen?

I'm all right. I'm just a little tired.

The doctor gave you a sedative.

A sedative?

Oh, yes, I remember.

I hope you won't mind.

I found the kitchen,

And Teresa's made some fresh coffee.

We'll all feel better for a cup.

That's very kind of you, mrs. Reeves.

Is this the baby's mama?

Poor little thing.

Miss ellie: sue ellen, this is mrs. Reeves,

John's nurse.

My daughter-in-law... sue ellen ewing,

And my granddaughter lucy.

Hi.

I had hoped that we'd meet on a happier day,

Mrs. Ewing.

I am sorry.

Vaughn leland. It's j.r. Ewing here.

Say, Vaughn... I need a favor from you,

Old buddy.

Yeah, I'm gonna need some money.

Cash. A lot of money.

Yeah. Yeah, I got the call about 5 minutes ago.

Uh, OK. I'll be over there in...

In a little bit. Do me a favor.

Keep this under your hat.

It's real important to me.

All right. Thanks, Vaughn.

I'm Bobby ewing. Is cliff Barnes here?

No, I'm afraid he's not. Can I take a message?

Is he really not in, or did he just tell you to say that?

No, he's not. He's not been in all day.

I don't know when he's going to be back.

I'll just check for myself.

I told you he wasn't in!

Where is he?

I don't know!

Uh-huh.

Look, I've got a list of calls out there a mile long.

Sure, you do.

Even the governor's been trying to get ahold of him.

Nobody's heard from him all day.

Doesn't he usually tell you where he's gonna be?

Yes, usually. Not always.

What are you doing? Get away from those!

Those are private papers!

Lady, it is all in the family.

Mr. Ewing, I am allowed to let no one near this desk.

There is not a single appointment

Listed for today.

These are government offices, mr. Ewing.

You are either going to leave here

Immediately or I am gonna

Call and have someone remove you.

Shall I tell him what you wanted?

He'll know.

Bobby: OK, cliff, you're not here.

Where the hell are you?

How'd you get in?

I bribed the manager.

Becoming more a ewing every day, my dear.

I don't really care how you got in.

I'm glad you're here. I've been in Austin

This morning, and I just heard

On the car radio coming in from the airport.

Do they have any idea who could have taken him?

You didn't have anything to do with this,

Did you, cliff?

I don't believe you said that.

Bobby thinks you're responsible.

I don't care what Bobby thinks.

Well, you'd better care,

Because he cares, and he's gonna show up here

Sooner or later. Now, would you try and stay calm

So I can handle him, if I can?

I'm supposed to be scared?

If you had any sense, you would be.

I've never seen him this angry.

So far, that's all anyone knows.

It's not much.

That's probably Bobby.

Let me... I'll get it.

Cliff: wait a minute.

Before you start swinging, let's talk.

Not this time, Barnes.

This time you've gone too far.

Bobby...

And you knew he was here all along, didn't you?

Wait a minute. I just got here.

Can't we talk?

Pam: he didn't know anything about it.

You'd swear he could walk on water if he told you!

That's not fair!

Would you wait a minute?

I want my son. I'm gonna have him.

I did not, I repeat, I did not kidnap him.

Now, wait a minute.

You can push me around the room

All you want, but that's not going to solve anything.

I think we should try to figure out

Who, indeed, took him.

Pam: for god's sake, listen to him!

Cliff: I swear I did not kidnap him.

I wasn't even in Dallas.

He's telling the truth.

Cliff: let's stop wasting time.

We can be at each other's throats

Tomorrow, but today, for today,

Let's try to find my boy.

Bobby: OK.

OK.

Simpson: I don't think there's any point in waiting anymore.

Sorry, sir.

Some people have a very strange sense of humor.

Jock: yeah. I'd just like to get my hands

On whoever did this, that's all.

Ray: jock, maybe you ought to go back to southfork.

I think we can do a lot better there.

Let's get the hell out of here.

Thank you, lieutenant.

Lucy: what is it, grandma?

J.r. Was right.

It was a hoax.

Nobody came with the baby?

No one came.

May I have another cup of coffee, please?

I appreciate this, Vaughn. I really do.

Yes. Well, I don't like it, j.r.

Don't like it one bit.

I don't like it any more than you do,

But I don't have a lot of choices.

Yeah, well, it's a lot of money.

The ewings are good for it. You know that.

Let me sign that receipt.

It's my son's life.

I know. I understand.

But there are better ways of handling this.

I don't have time for discussion!

I'm only trying to talk some sense, j.r.

The fbi should be handling this thing,

Not you. Remember last year

When Bobby was kidnapped? You almost...

Almost, nothing. Everything went off

Just the way I'd planned it.

Now, that ranch is crawling with police and fbi.

I can't make a move without them knowing about it.

Now they're waiting for me.

I want to sign that.

Thank you, Vaughn. I appreciate it.

Man: I believe we have mr. And mrs. Ewing here.

Perhaps we can get some kind of comment now.

Mr. Ewing, mrs. Ewing, excuse me.

Have you any comment to make at this time?

Bobby: no, not right now.

May I help you?

Yes. I'm Bobby ewing.

Oh, mr. Ewing, I'm sorry.

I didn't recognize you at first.

Mrs. Ewing, hello.

Hello.

We're all terribly upset about what happened.

Is there any news yet?

No. Not yet.

Look, we're trying to get some information.

We would like to talk to the patients,

To the nurses that were on duty, to the doctors,

To anybody who might have seen something.

Well, the police have been here all day,

And everyone's been questioned

Over and over again.

It's not gonna take very long.

Man: is something the matter?

Can I help?

Dr. Freilich, yes.

This is mr. Ewing and mrs. Ewing.

I've been explaining...

Cliff: look, it's all very simple, doctor.

We just want to talk to the staff and the patients

And look at some of your files.

Freilich: who are you?

He's my brother-in-law. He's here to help.

As I'm sure mrs. Barker has explained to you,

The police have been most...

Bobby: doctor, my nephew was kidnapped from this hospital

Today, and I intend to find out who did it and how.

We're all very sorry.

Cliff: we're wasting time.

I'm not interested in your sympathies,

Doctor. It's your cooperation I want.

Now, you let somebody walk out of here

With a ewing baby.

I don't think it's too much to ask

For you to help get him back, do you?

Of course not, mr. Ewing.

Where would you like to start?

Cliff: with the patients,

And then we'd like to look at your records

To see who was on duty and when.

We would like to see

What patients were admitted

Or discharged today, things like that.

Dr. Freilich: would you get them the records?

Barker: yes, doctor.

Bobby: thank you.

Yes?

Ames: have you got it?

I got it.

You just wait there. I'll drop by.

When?

Oh, don't be impatient. Soon.

And, j.r., while I'm with you,

Why, Willie Joe's gonna be with the baby,

So don't try anything funny, huh?

You be alone when I get there, you hear?

I hear.

He fell for it.

What a stroke of luck,

Somebody snatching that kid.

We're gonna get a million bucks

For nothing.

There's nothing.

There's nothing that I can make any sense out of.

No one remembers anything.

Well, nothing here, either.

It's like he vanished into thin air.

No, wait a minute. Because there has to be a clue,

If we can just find it.

They're so tiny.

They're so tiny.

Bobby? Bobby, I just remembered.

There was a woman here every day

I came. She used to be

In front of the nursery window.

Bobby, she used to stay there for hours.

If she was here this morning,

She might have seen something.

Who is it? Is it a patient?

I'm not sure. She isn't here this afternoon

Or I'd have recognized her.

Let's go ask the nurse, see if she knows.

You mustn't give up hope, dear.

Hope. Of course not.

Things always have a way of turning out for the best.

Reeves: you just keep believing that.

Woman: hello.

Mrs. Duncan? Do you remember me?

You're the lady from the hospital.

Come on in.

Uh, can I get you a cup of coffee or...

I have some ice cream in the refrigerator.

No, thank you, mrs. Duncan.

Oh, you can call me priscilla.

What is it you wanted to talk about,

Or are you one of them social workers?

No. No, I'm Pamela ewing.

My nephew was kidnapped from the hospital

This morning. Did you hear about it?

Oh, yes. I saw it on the tv, on the news.

I saw a picture of the baby's mother.

Poor lady. You know,

My baby was premature, too.

That's why you saw me so many times at the hospital.

I was visiting him.

Yes, I know.

That's why I wanted to talk to you.

Nurse Barker told me that you were there

This morning.

I hoped that maybe you'd seen something

That would help us find my nephew.

Well, I was only there for a short time.

You didn't see anybody near the baby?

I don't even know which baby it was.

I'm sorry. I wish I could help.

It's a terrible thing to lose a baby.

Yes, it is.

If you do remember anything,

Would you please call me?

Sure.

Thank you for talking to me.

What's that?

That's my baby. I brought him home today.

I guess he's still hungry.

I'll be right back. Just wait.

Bobby! Cliff!

What?

I think she's got the baby.

Well, it can't be hers, honey.

The nurse said hers died.

I don't know.

Maybe she's blocking it out,

Pretending it didn't happen.

Let's go take a look.

Priscilla, this is my husband, Bobby ewing,

And my brother cliff Barnes.

Priscilla Duncan.

Bobby: hello, priscilla.

Cliff: HI.

I already told her I don't know anything.

Why, that's a cute baby.

Can I hold him?

Oh, no.

He's a beautiful baby.

Yes. I don't have much time.

I have to feed him.

Bobby: priscilla, we all saw

Your records before we came over here...

At the hospital.

Yes?

He's really not your baby, is he?

Yes, he is.

He's mine.

Bobby: no. I'm sorry, priscilla.

We don't want to hurt you. Really, we don't.

He really is. He's my baby.

You can't take him away from me.

Please don't take him away from from me.

Pam: priscilla, we won't take

Him away from you... Not yet,

Not until you understand.

J.r.?

Well, is that it?

Where's my boy?

Well, now, you just let me

Take a look at it first, huh?

Ohh, that's nice. That's very nice.

Where's my boy?

Willie Joe's taking real good care of him.

So far, you've done everything

Just fine, j.r. Don't spoil it now.

As soon as I leave here with the money,

Why, Willie Joe will give you a call

And let you know where the baby is.

You think I'm gonna let you out of my sight

Before I see my son?

You don't have a choice, j.r., now, do you?

Why don't you answer your phone?

I'll just go over there

And fix myself a little old drink.

Yes?

J.r.? Yes?

We found him... The baby.

He's safe. He's just fine.

But what happened... How?

J.r., it's a long story.

I can't talk right now.

We'll see you back at the ranch

In about a half-hour.

More bad news, I hope.

No. No, it's good news.

Trying to make a fool out of me?

If I had the time to clean up the mess,

I'd use this on you. Now get out of here

Before I change my mind.

I'll go. I'll go.

But you're not through with us, j.r...

By a darn sight.

You owe us, j.r... Garr and me.

We're gonna see to it you pay one way or another.

I wouldn't count on living that long if I was you.

Pam: what do you think is going to happen to her?

She'll probably be remanded for psychiatric care.

It's no wonder.

Husband runs out on her. Baby dies.

It's a rough one to handle.

If there's anything we can do to help, hon, we will.

Priscilla: I'm ready.

Cliff. They're expecting us at the ranch.

I know.

Priscilla.

Pam: priscilla, this is sue ellen,

The baby's mother.

I'm sorry.

I just wanted to tell you myself how sorry I am.

I know I've done a terrible thing.

What I must have put you through.

Priscilla: it's just that when the doctors

Told me that my baby was dead...

I didn't want to believe them.

I wanted my baby so much.

I don't know what I did. I don't know what I said.

I'm sorry.

I thought he must be mine.

Thank you.

Sue ellen: mrs. Reeves.
