Original subtitles

Tell me about Dr. Ellby.

He's my psychiatrist.

Of all the psychiatrists in Dallas,

You picked the one that's gonna get you in the sack.

Cliff: you've got a grandson.

John Ross ewing iii.

J.r.'s boy?

That baby's mine.

He'll be a vulture like the rest of 'em!

If he lives.

Luke: who's that comin'?

That's pam.

Pam!

Pam?

Look sharp, boys. Here comes boss.

Hello, jimmy.

Mr. Ewing, ray.

Looks like I got a good bunch of boys

For you, mr. Ewing.

Good.

Howdy, boys.

Men: howdy, mr. Ewing.

Good to see you all.

OK, matt.

Look at you, John.

What's your name, boy?

Luke middens.

I'm Bobby ewing.

Howdy, mr. Ewing.

That's sure a good-lookin' horse.

Is he yours?

Yep.

You wanna ride him?

Sometime, maybe.

Ray.

What's your name, cowboy?

Bo middens.

Well, we got a cottage out in back, bo.

I'll be ridin' out there,

You can follow me with the boy.

Rest of you men I pick can go on up to the bunkhouse.

Maybe next time, fellas.

Thank you, boys.

Hey, suellen.

Goin' shoppin', honey?

Uh, I have a few errands to do.

See y'all later.

Well, now, hold up there.

I'll walk you to the car.

Suellen seems to be feeling better.

She's gonna be all right.

Suellen, what's goin' on?

Seems like every mornin'

You leave first thing and disappear for hours.

What's that?

I do like to keep myself busy, j.r.

Committee meetings and lunch with friends

And shopping, that sort of thing?

Something like that.

Which one is it?

Little bit of everything.

Suellen, now, don't overdo it.

We wouldn't want you to get sick again, would we?

How nice of you to care, darlin'.

Well, I care enough

To wonder what you're really up to.

I stay out of your life, j. R.

You stay out of mine.

I can't do that.

Honey, we're a family now.

I wouldn't want anything to spoil that pretty picture.

That pretty picture is just for the public,

Not for us.

Hi, pedro.

Want to walk him out for me?

Thank you.

Well, I better go.

It's gonna be an early

Photo session at the store today

For the spring catalog.

And liz is expectin' me to handle it.

Well, don't work too hard, pam.

You know, the first months of pregnancy

Can be tiring.

I'm fine, miss ellie.

Anyway, you know how much I like working.

Bye-bye. Bye.

Bobby: well, you leavin' already?

I came back just to have breakfast with you.

Oh, you're about 10 minutes too late,

I'm sorry.

I got sidetracked

By one of the cutest kids you ever saw.

One of the men I hired,

He brought his boy with him.

Yeah, who's that?

His name's bo middens, daddy,

But I don't think he's from around here.

Honey, wait'll you see this kid.

There is something about havin' a child

On southfork here that makes me feel so happy.

I think when we have our baby,

I'm gonna walk around here

With a permanent grin on my face.

Well, I think I better go.

I'm gonna be late.

Bobby.

OK.

Did I say somethin' wrong?

I don't think so.

She seemed a little upset about somethin'.

Well, don't forget she's had a miscarriage before.

Maybe she's a little nervous about being pregnant again.

Good morning.

Well, good morning.

Oh, that's nice.

Can it wait till tonight?

Well, I guess it has to.

My place at 7:00.

No, I can't, darlin'.

I have dinner with the family.

You want to earn your salary?

I thought I was.

Get cal McBride on the phone for me.

The private detective?

That's nothing for you

To worry your little head about.

And so our relationship got steadily worse.

Finally, out of desperation,

I had an affair.

After a few weeks,

I found out I was pregnant.

By this man?

I think so.

I'm not absolutely sure.

Suellen, there are ways

Of establishing paternity...

If you wanted to know.

I don't think I do.

Not really.

Whichever way it turned out,

I don't think I'd be happy, anyway.

Can you tell me about him?

This man you think might be your child's father?

I can't.

Not just yet.

It's all right.

Trust takes a while.

Thank you.

Suellen,

What do you expect from our work here?

Actually, I've thought about that

For quite a while now...

Why I finally decided to start therapy.

I've been unhappy for quite a while now,

And I don't want to be unhappy anymore.

I want to be in control of my life,

And I don't want to be dependent

On anyone ever again.

And I want to be a good mother to my son.

Dr. Ellby, it looks like

You've got your work cut out for you.

Not my work, suellen.

Yours.

I'm ready.

I know.

Thanks for gettin' back to me, cal.

No problem, j.r. What can I do for you?

It's my wife.

Your wife?

That's right... I'd like to know

How she's spendin' her time these days.

Have you got anything to go on?

Nothing.

Just keep an eye on her.

Let me know everything she does

And whoever she meets.

I got it.

Get back to me as soon as you can.

I'll do that, j.r.

Cliff, you are so consumed with hate for the ewings.

I don't think you know how to love anymore.

I learned a very valuable lesson

About power from the ewings.

If you want to help the little guy,

You have to operate from a position of strength.

Well, since you've had it,

All you've done is try to destroy ewing oil.

No, I've stopped the oil companies

From raping the land.

That's why I took the job with the o.l.m.

Oh, come on.

You really believe that?

That happens to be the truth.

The truth is you like power for its own sake.

You enjoy it.

Somebody's got to have it.

Better me than the ewings.

You know, there's talk about

Me running for congress.

Don't know who's behind that,

But I gotta say I'm flattered.

Well, I guess so.

Are you flattered enough to consider it?

Maybe.

Yeah.

What do you think I should do?

I don't think you should ask for my advice

When I can't even make my own decisions.

Do you mean to tell me that you still

Haven't said anything to Bobby?

Sooner or later,

You're gonna have to tell him.

Bobby: hold it!

Come on.

Whoa!

OK, next one.

Here you go.

A little more.

All right.

OK, ready?

One time, ready?

Luke: yeah, go.

Wound up tight!

Ha!

Come on!

All right.

OK, here we go.

Hey, that's not bad.

I think you're gonna make yourself

A pretty good cowboy someday.

What do we do now?

We eat.

Come on, get down.

Whoa!

All right.

Here you go.

Oh, thanks.

What do you think?

How do you like workin' here?

It's only been a day.

Can't tell nothin' in a day.

That's what pa says.

Well, you like the food well enough.

It's OK.

I'd love to see you tear into

Somethin' you really like.

What's the matter?

It ain't good manners to wolf down food.

That's true enough.

Your daddy teach you that?

No, uh, some lady.

Ain't nobody teachin' me nothin'.

I gotta learn when I can.

You don't go to school, do you?

No.

We don't stay no place long enough.

Don't matter.

I like workin' with my pa.

Still, it's gotta be tough

Not havin' permanent friends.

Soon as you get to know someone,

You're movin' again.

Well, all that's gonna change,

You wait and see.

Your daddy'll get a permanent job,

And he'll settle someplace.

He talks about goin' to Montana.

I got an uncle who works on a farm there.

Pa says we might go.

Well, that sounds good, doesn't it?

You excited about that?

I like Texas well enough.

Pa wants to leave.

He says there's too many memories.

I guess he misses ma.

You miss her, too, don't you?

I never knew her.

She died when I was born.

I ain't got no real family.

You got your daddy.

Important thing is you're together.

Together you make a family.

That's what my pa says.

He says a family just ain't folks

Livin' in the same house,

It's folks with the same dream.

You think that's true?

It's true enough, luke.

Eat your sandwich.

Ray: whoa. Whoa!

We got trouble, Bobby.

What's the matter, ray?

It's this damn hot weather's

Got the rattlers out.

One of 'em got bo.

Called an ambulance already.

Pa!

Get on your horse, boy.

He's gonna be OK, son.

We'll just ride out there.

Ahh.

All right, keep it cool.

I got help comin'.

Hang in there.

I'm sure gettin' nauseated.

We got help.

Luke.

Are you all right, pa?

I'm fine, son.

We're gonna take care of your boy,

Don't worry.

I'm not leavin' you for long.

Don't worry, luke, it'll be OK.

Kristin: suellen!

Oh, I wish we'd known

You were gonna be in town,

You could've joined us for lunch.

Well, sue ellen's been kind of busy lately.

I doubt if she could've spared the time.

We were entertaining some clients.

You would've enjoyed it.

I never interfere with my husband's business.

You know, suellen,

This job has turned out better than I expected.

J.r. Is a terrific boss,

And the business is very exciting.

I'm so happy you

Found your little niche in life, kristin.

Have you found yours?

J.r. Certainly thinks I have.

Oh, I think a married woman

With a baby to look after has a niche.

Where you off to, honey?

Another committee meeting?

Back to my niche, j.r.

Do you think she knows?

Do you care?

Let's get to work, darlin'.

Connie, any calls?

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Get cal McBride on the phone for me, will you?

Yes, j.r.

Yeah?

J.r., cal McBride on the line.

Put him on, sugar.

Yeah, cal?

What've you got for me? Anything?

Nothin' so far.

She's on her way home now.

What'd she do this morning?

Had her hair done, went shoppin'.

That's all?

That's all.

I was right by her all the time.

OK. Stay close.

I will, j.r., I will.

Jock: yeah, I know.

Hot weather.

Brought out all the rattlers.

How long you figure he'll be laid up?

Not serious, then?

Now, don't you rush it.

I don't want him leavin' that hospital

Till he's fit, you hear?

Don't let those paper pushers

Start hounding around about money

Or insurance.

I'm pickin' up the tab.

Well, thanks for that report, doctor.

Keep me posted, will you?

OK.

Afternoon, dad.

J.r.

Oh, I'll tell you, it is hot in that town.

Yeah, I'll bet.

Whoo, boy.

Can I refresh your drink for you?

I'm OK.

You got problems?

Yeah, we got a man in the hospital.

Well, that's nothi" to worry about,

We got plenty of insurance.

I wasn't thinkin' about the money, j.r.

You take care of that matter we talked about?

Well, now, what was that?

Did you take care of that business

That we talked about?

What business is that?

You know damn well what business.

That trust fund for Amanda.

Oh, yeah.

Uh, no, I haven't had a chance

To get at it, dad.

I've been so busy at the office,

But I'll get at it real soon.

Soon's not enough, j.r.

I let this thing go far enough as it is.

Amanda was my wife.

She's got to be taken care of.

You, uh, say anything to mother yet?

No, I haven't, but I will.

Now, you do what I told you.

Amanda deserves a lot more than

I've ever given her.

I'll get to it, dad.

Tomorrow, j.r.

If you don't do it tomorrow,

I'll get out of this wheelchair

And do it myself.

You're not getting out of any wheelchair

Until the doctor says you can.

I don't want you two arguing.

No, ma'am, nothin' serious.

We was just talkin' a little business,

Miss ellie, that's all.

I'll get right on it, dad.

Do that.

Mama.

How are you feeling, jock?

Fine, fine.

Now, you don't have to fuss over me any.

If I didn't have you to fuss over,

What in the world would I do with myself?

How long has it been since I told you I loved you?

Well, when was the last time

Halley's comet appeared?

Well, now, it hasn't been that long ago.

You know me, miss ellie,

That there's just sometimes that

I can't put into words how I feel about you.

You knew that when you married me.

I know, jock.

But I can tell you one thing.

There's never a day in my life

That I don't thank the stars

For makin' you my wife.

You're a good man, jock,

And a good husband.

And my best friend.

I haven't always liked you,

But I've always loved you...

And always trusted you.

Bobby: OK, manuel.

Keep that on about two more days,

I think he'll be all right.

Hi, luke.

How's he doin'?

The doc says he's gonna be just fine.

But it'll be a while

Before he can come in to work, Bobby.

Oh, what do you think?

We go one man short?

Not a good idea.

We're gonna have to replace him.

Don't hire anybody else.

I can do the work.

Luke, we know you're a good cowboy,

But you can't do the work of a full-grown man.

Till next year, anyway.

I can do it.

I wouldn't say so if I couldn't.

I don't tell lies.

Ray, maybe he works as good as he talks.

OK.

We got some strays out in the south end.

You get on that little pony of yours,

And we'll see how much cowboy you got in you, kid.

Yee-hah!

I sure hope you know what you're doin', Bobby.

I know what I'm doin'.

I'll be a good mom.

I promise.

That's a very touching scene.

Shh, he's asleep.

Suellen, what were you doin' in town today?

Darling, what were you doin' in town today?

I should ask you what you were doing with my sister.

She's my secretary.

We were comin' back from a business lunch.

I can just imagine the kind of business.

Your imagination is as vivid as ever,

Suellen.

When it comes to you, j.r.,

It certainly is.

You haven't answered my question, honey.

You're right, I haven't.

I'm gonna find out sooner or later,

You know that.

Why are you so interested in what I do

With my spare time?

Because you're my wife.

I know it's inconvenient to remember that,

But you might try.

I'm not your wife, j.r.

A wife is someone who shares her life with her husband.

She cares for him

And she's cared for in return.

That hardly describes our relationship.

Oh, how would you describe it?

Sick.

Very sick, j.r.

Bobby: hey, luke, hold up!

Take care of that for me.

Pedro, get the gate.

Did you get those strays?

I got 'em.

You go down and get cleaned up

And come up to the house for dinner.

Can't do that.

Gotta eat at the bunkhouse.

Food's better at my house.

I work with the other men,

And I'm gonna eat with 'em.

I gotta be treated like the others.

Hey, luke.

How about after dinner, we take in a movie?

OK!

If it ain't a cowboy picture.

Pam: he's a really terrific kid, huh?

Yeah.

Oh, you mean I didn't mess up your evening tonight?

I felt a little guilty

When I asked luke to come along

After I promised you a night on the town.

I had a wonderful time.

I think both luke and I had a better time

Than we were expecting.

Well, I certainly went out of my way

To keep you two entertained.

Ha ha! I'll say you did.

I've never seen a kid laugh so hard.

You really like him a lot, don't you?

Yes, I do.

But I'm gonna love ours.

Bobby... What if we weren't going to have

One of our own?

And what are you talking about?

What if something happened

And I couldn't have a baby?

Look, honey, I know you're worried

About having this baby,

But everything's gonna be all right.

You don't know that for sure.

You worry too much.

Millions of women have babies every day

With no trouble at all.

What if I'm not one of them?

You will be.

I know I'm not god.

I can't say that for sure...

But the odds are in our favor.

So can't we just believe that

Everything's gonna be OK

And enjoy this time?

It's such a wonderful time.

Bobby?

Morning.

Morning, pam.

Where is everybody?

Well, everybody's gone but Bobby.

He's with luke.

I think they're going riding.

Well, that sounds like a good way

To start the morning.

I think I'll do the same thing.

Pam, tell Bobby he doesn't have to

Drive us to the doctor's.

Ray can do it.

OK, I'll tell him.

Hey, luke, come on!

Whoo, what'd you do, oversleep?

Who's that coming?

It's pam.

She can sure ride.

Oh, my god.

Pam!

Honey... Honey?

Pam?

Bobby... I'm here.

The baby...

Don't worry about anything.

Just go to sleep.

Dr. Mondonio, report to intensive care.

Dr. Mondonio, report to intensive care.

It's time to go.

She'll sleep now.

There's no point in your staying.

I'll have you called as soon as she wakes up.

Losing a child is never easy, Bobby, I know,

But try not to take it too hard.

You're both young and healthy.

You'll have other children.

We wanted this one so much.

Connie: cal McBride on the line.

Cal, you got something for me?

Yeah. Dr. Simon ellby, do you know him?

No, never heard of him.

He's a psychiatrist.

Your wife is seeing him.

How do you mean, seeing him?

Professionally.

J.r., you still there?

Yes, cal, I'm still here.

What else you got?

Well, that's about it.

A couple of charity meetings,

Fashion show, that sort of thing.

Tell me about ellby.

Well, he's got a good reputation,

Solid practice in Dallas.

He's a good-looking guy,

Something of a ladies' man.

He just got divorced from his second wife,

Likes to be seen around town

With a different woman every night.

Are they pros?

No, sir, the cream of the crop.

He likes his women rich, smart,

And beautiful.

Thanks, cal. Good work.

How's your pa?

Oh, he's fine.

Cheerful and all.

He's getting out of the hospital

As soon as the doctor signs some paper.

That's good.

Is pam gonna die?

No, of course not.

She's gonna be fine.

Then how come you're sad?

She was gonna have a baby.

We lost it.

You mean the baby died?

Yep.

My mom died so I could be born.

Luke, your mother didn't die because of you.

Yes, she did.

If it wasn't for me, she'd still be alive.

Now, that's not true, son.

It wasn't your fault.

Sometimes I get mad at her for going away.

Don't tell anybody,

But I get scared sometimes.

If my pa's away even for a day,

I get to thinking he's not coming back.

Your daddy's just fine.

He's gonna be back on this ranch tomorrow,

All right?

OK?

All right.

You gonna have other kids?

Oh, I hope so.

Boys or girls?

Heh heh.

Well, one of each, I hope,

But you kind of take what you can get.

I don't want no kids.

They're nothing but trouble.

Well, luke, I used to feel that way myself,

But I changed my mind.

How come?

It's a little hard to explain.

You'll find out when you're grown up.

Come on, let's get some lunch.

Suellen.

I tell you, it's a hot one.

Well...

Tell me about Dr. Ellby.

Get your spies to tell you.

Well, why don't you tell me, suellen?

He's my psychiatrist.

Well, what do you want with a psychiatrist?

What do you feel the need to babble to him about?

I don't care to discuss this with you, j.r.

I think I have a right to know, darling.

I mean, after all, who's paying for him? Heh.

I would say that our life together

Leaves a lot to be desired.

Wouldn't you?

Nothing is perfect, suellen.

I can't go on like this anymore, j.r.

I have got to get my life together,

And before I can do that

I've got to figure out how

It got so messed up in the first place.

Oh, I can tell you that.

You just can't stay away from any man

That looks cross-eyed at you, that's all.

Darling, hold it.

Suellen, you want it all.

You want the ewing name, privileges,

The freedom to act like a tramp,

And that's all you ever did want.

Believe it or not, j.r.,

I loved you when I married you.

That was a long time ago.

Been a lot of action since then.

On both our sides.

Let me tell you about Dr. Ellby.

Of all the psychiatrists in Dallas,

You pick the one that's gonna get you in the sack.

Tell me something, j.r.

Yes?

What matters most?

The fact that I'll sleep with him,

Or that I might tell him something

You don't want him to know?

Pam: hey.

They're beautiful.

I'll put them down.

There.

Thank you.

We're not much at small talk, are we?

It's hard.

It's hard on both of us, but...

Uh, but it's not the end of the world.

I know how much you wanted this baby, Bobby.

Yes.

Yes, I did.

But more than anything,

I want you happy and safe.

And we have the rest of our lives together.

There mustn't be any more children.

I know you feel that way... Now.

I understand.

But you'll change your mind.

No, I won't.

I mustn't have any more children.

I shouldn't have become pregnant this time.

Honey, what are you talking about?

Bobby, I have wanted to tell you.

Tell me.

Do you remember when digger came back from California

And was so sick?

He had some tests run...

And they discovered a disease

Called neurofibromatosis.

What does that have to do with you?

It's genetic, and it's awful.

Tumors form,

And the baby may die if they have it.

My parents lost two children before they were a year old.

But they had you... And cliff.

We carry it, and any children we have

Would probably die if they inherit it.

Oh.

Bobby, I'm sorry.

I tried to tell you.

You were just so happy about this baby.

Baby John.

I took him to my doctor for tests,

But we won't know for a few months for sure.

I'm so sorry, Bobby.

Oh!

The one thing you really wanted...

Only I can't give it to you.

Thank you for coming.

Sorry I wasn't better company.

You were just fine, honey.

Everything's gonna be all right.

Yeah, I know.

I'll call you when I get home.

I'd like to go down there and sit a while.

Don't feel like going back to your place just yet.

You feel OK?

Eh, a little sad.

About pam?

And you.

Me?

You don't have to worry about me.

I'm fine.

We're both fine.

Well... I wanted a grandchild,

That's the truth of it.

You'll have one.

Pam and Bobby will probably adopt.

You'll be a grandfather before you know it.

That ain't the same thing.

It's the end of the Barnes line.

You're the last one.

You'll have a grandchild.

Maybe he won't look like you,

But I can think of a lot worst things.

You don't know what it's like to grow old.

When a man's got nothing left but his children,

His children's children...

There's no sense in talking about it,

'cause it's not gonna change anything.

Cliff, you ain't got nobody.

Who's gonna be looking after you

When you get old?

I'll take care of myself,

Just like I always have.

Son, if a man's not a father,

He's gonna be a child the rest of his life.

I don't want to listen to this.

My whole life, I never got one thing I wanted,

Except you.

You've got a grandson.

I'm telling you, you've got a grandson.

John Ross ewing iii.

J.r.'s boy?

Not j.r.'s son.

Suellen and I had an affair last year.

That baby is mine.

Yours?

And you let jock ewing have him, huh?

Well, he ain't gonna keep him.

They'll keep him over my dead body.

Daddy, please.

That's my grandson!

And he's not gonna steal him

Like he stole everything else from me.

Daddy, just hold on.

I'll get him back, I promise.

If he lives.

Damn this contraption!

Jock, you're not supposed to be

Out of that wheelchair for another week.

Don't baby me, miss ellie.

I'm all right.

What time Bobby say he'd be back?

He said he'd be home soon.

That's good.

He said pam was fine.

Drink? No, thanks.

Bobby: hello, mama.

How's pam?

She's gonna be all right, lucy.

She's just taking it real hard, that's all.

I should have been there.

You should have let me come.

Now, mama, there wasn't any need

For you to be there.

What did the doctor say, Bobby?

About having more children?

It's too soon to tell.

Where are you going?

I want to go upstairs, be by myself.

There must be a reason for this.

But if I live to be 100, I...

I'll never understand it.

Oh, sweetheart.

Luke: Bobby, wait up!

Whoa, whoa!

I'm not in too good a shape.

Go on, get up here.

Well, what's the matter?

Pa's out of the hospital.

We're going away today.

Montana.

To your uncle's place, huh?

He's been talking to him.

Says there's work there.

Well, that's terrific.

What did I tell ya?

I don't want to leave.

I'll never see you again.

Sure you will.

I go to Montana a lot,

Now, maybe the next time I'm there

I'll come for a visit.

And then maybe you won't.

We're friends, aren't we, luke?

Well, friends don't just say good-bye

And never see each other again.

Can't say about that.

Never had any friends.

Well, it sounds like from now on

You're gonna have plenty.

I bet I never have one like you.

Well, the feeling is mutual.

He's hurting so much.

It takes time.

He'll be all right.

Hi, Bobby.

Listen, Bobby...

I'm truly sorry about all this,

But under the circumstances

It's probably for the best.

No, cliff, it's not for the best.

I know how you feel.

How the hell do you know how I feel?

You've never cared for anybody but yourself.

Bobby... Did it ever occur to you

That my son means something to me?

That I might know what anguish is all about?

My son may be dying,

And I can't even see him.

You've lost a child.

So have I.

Stop cornering the market on self-pity.

Here comes Bobby and pam.

Miss ellie? Lucy?

They're home.

Pamela...

I'm really very sorry.

I mean that.

I know how much having a child

Meant to you.

Thank you, suellen.

How do you feel?

Empty.

It'll pass in time.

Hey, Bobby.

Lucy: pam! I'm so sorry.

Glad to see you.

Pam... You're home now,

That's all that counts.

Well, he's in it now.

Well, I'm gonna miss you, partner.

You gonna write me a letter?

I don't write too good,

But I'll send you a picture postcard

From Montana.

I guess that'll have to do.

Well, bo, good luck.

Take care of yourself.

Thanks for everything, mr. Ewing.

Time to say good-bye, son.

You get out of here.
