NARRATOR:
Last on Dallas:

SUE ELLEN: You have to tease him
and tantalize him.

- Don't let him get into your bed.
- That's kind of sick, ain't it?

- How long since you've been with a man?
- J.R.

- I wanna buy the studio.
- It's not for sale.

- Everything's for sale for the right price.
- You wouldn't dare cheat on me.

Don't worry.

I won't do nothing
but maybe fool around some.

Look up the word paranoid in the dictionary,
beside it, you'll find a picture of J.R.

Lombardi's looking into his son's death.
And he's headed for Dallas.

[GASPS]

What are you doing now?
Turning this place into a bakery?

These needed finishing
and I needed something to do.

Well, if you find it so boring around here,
why don't you leave?

J.R., would you just answer me
a question without being ugly?

Well, I suppose anything's possible.

You were so sweet to me in Haleyville.

You came right after me.

Anyone with one eye and half a sense
could see you was crazy for me.

Why do you hate me so much now?

Cally, I don't hate you.

I still find you as sweet and pretty
and desirable as ever.

- Am I really, J. R?
- Of course you are, darling.

And don't I still feel good to you?

And don't you still want me?

I'd have to be dead not to want you.

Then why do you wanna make me leave?

Cally, marriage was not on my agenda.

And married I do not wanna be...

But it has nothing to do with you, honey.

I can make you very happy, J.R.

You remember
how good we was together?

Don't you wanna still feel that way?

Now more than ever.

[SIGHS]

But let's not rush this marriage business.

Spend some time together.

Let me share your bed with you
and rediscover...

...how sweet and deadly you are.

And see if we should be married.

"Should be"?

You make it sound
like test driving a new car.

You wanna see
what kind of wife I'll make?

Well, I'll show you
what kind of baker I am.

I told you, no way, and I meant it!

Not until you stand before a preacher...

...in front of all your kinfolks and all
your fancy gal's friends and marry me again!

Right here in Southfork!

Ahh.

BOBBY:
Yeah. Okay, Mama, I will. Don't worry.

CHRISTOPHER: Is it ready yet?
- No, it's not ready yet. Go on in.

Okay. You give my love to Ray and Jenna
and the kids, all right?

Okay, bye-bye.

- Mama sends her love.
- Oh, good.

- Where are you off to?
- I got an early appointment.

You're gonna miss a great breakfast.

Yeah, Cally's fixing something special
for breakfast this morning.

Oh, great.
Now she's playing little miss homemaker.

But it's your favorite, J.R.

At least you said it was at the farm.

I lied.

See you tonight, John Ross.

Okay, Daddy.

CALLY:
You're still mad about last night?

Oh, by the way, Mama and Clayton
send their love to everybody.

Are they having a good time?

They're having a wonderful time. Here.

Take a little of that, put it right on there.

Come on, John Ross. This is great.

Looks yucky. I'm not gonna eat it.

Well, just try a bite, John Ross.
You might surprise yourself.

No chance.

Christopher, I'll meet you outside.

And hurry up or we'll be late to school.

Don't mind him, Cally.
He'll come around in time.

I surely do hope you're right, Bobby.

Boy, this is great, Cally.

You really like it?

That pleasures me.

I think the eggs would've been better
if they was fresh, though.

These store-bought eggs y'all get
are downright peaked.

Okay, pal. Get off to school. You're gonna
have breakfast like this tomorrow.

CHRISTOPHER:
See you tonight, Dad. Bye, Cally.

Bye, Christopher. Have a nice day.

I'm thinking about raising some chickens
if I stay.

If you stay?

I thought you were determined
to win J.R. Over.

Well, I reckon I am.

But it sure ain't easy.

J.R. And John Ross barely talk to me,
and when they do, it's just to find fault.

Does that mean you're gonna give up?

No.

But it'd be nice
to feel like I was gaining some ground.

[SIGHS]

I know you're just doing your job,
but I'm already in here...

...so your services are really
no longer required. Thank you.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Ewing.

That's all right, Kelly. You can go now.

Well, now that you're in, make it brief.
I'm busy.

That suits me fine.

What do you know about your departed
boyfriend's connection with the mob?

I don't know what you're talking about.
Get out.

- This is important to me, Sue Ellen.
- Not to me.

I know there's no love lost between us,
Sue Ellen.

But I can't believe
you still wanna see me dead.

Dead?

Nicholas Pearce's father
is looking for me.

I don't think he wants
to pat me on the back...

...because his son took a nose dive
off my balcony.

Come on.
You must know something. Don't stall.

Under the circumstances, J.R.,
I think you can ask a lot nicer.

All right.

I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

All right.

But it's not much.

Nicholas' father, Joseph Lombardi,
was involved in the rackets in New York...

...but when it got too dirty for him...

...he turned state's evidence.

Then the FBI put the whole family
under the Witness Protection Program.

Which is when they got the name Pearce.

That was a long time ago,
when Nicholas was just a little boy.

You mean his family is here in Dallas?

No. I don't know where they are.

Oh, come on.
You two must have talked once in a while.

You couldn't have spent all your time
in the sack.

You get the hell out of here, J.R.

And if you wanna know anything else,
you ask your little playmate, April.

She's the one that broke the cover
on the Lombardis in the first place.

She almost got all of them killed.

And I'm sure she's more interested
in saving your hide than I am.

You could have told me that
in the beginning.

You never could get to the point.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

BOBBY:
Cliff?

You get up at the crack of dawn
or are you left over...

...after painting the town red with Tammy?
- No, no. I decided to get an early start here.

As far as Tammy's concerned, why...

Fresh out of paint, I'm afraid.
Ahem. Red or any other color.

We're not seeing each other anymore.

- I thought you two were hitting it off.
- No. No, it just didn't work out.

- I'm sorry.
- No, don't worry about it. It happens.

JACKIE:
Knock, knock.

Here you go. This is the last of them.

Ugh.

Jackie, look at all the dust you make.

There's enough pollen in the air,
now it's impossible to breathe.

Sorry.

Unless there's something else you
need me for, I'll just take my dust and go.

Do it. Please, just go. Hmm?

BOBBY:
Cliff, what is all this?

These are all the old oil properties
that Ewing Oil has.

Some of these things go back 30,
40 years, some of them.

- So?
- Well, so, look.

There's a lot of valuable land here,
sitting doing nothing.

I mean, all the oil and gas
has been sucked out ages ago.

And some of this land
has appreciated in value...

...as much as 10 times
what you originally paid for it.

So I think you should figure out
what you need...

...sell the rest of it, make a tidy profit.

Sounds like a good idea.

Make a list of everything you think
is expendable, and I'll go over it.

- Deal.
BOBBY: You can reach me at the ranch.

[SIGHS]

[DOOR OPENS]

McKAY:
And here you are.

Your new home away from home.

You've gotta be kidding.

I've been in stables with more charm.

Well, you won't be looking at the decor.

You're here to learn.

I'm not at all sure these surroundings
are conducive to learning.

They are.

Okay.

It's not that bad.

So, what is it you want me to learn?

Everything that you can about Westar,
from its inception.

I want you to know this company
from the ground up.

And all of these records
are a history of that company.

I don't know where to start.

Start with the top book in this box.

The first page reads:

"And in the beginning..."

[BOTH LAUGH]

- Thanks a bunch.
- And this is for you.

Oh, and what's this,
a book on how to refine oil...

...to read in my spare time?

No, it's something for you to use
during your break.

Aww. It's nice to know
that you're gonna let me take a break.

But with all of this information
to plow through...

...it's gonna be a long time
before I lift another pool cue.

Even one this size.

Or is that the point?

I don't need anything.
I'm not gonna be here long.

Charming place. You eat here often?

Only when I have business in the area.

You said you needed to talk to me
right away. What's up?

Well, if you could manage
to stop feeding your face, I'd tell you.

I need you to get in contact...

...with whoever's in charge
of the Witness Protection Program.

I've got to get a message to Lombardi.
Now, do you think you can do that?

Well, I don't know. That's the feds.

They're really close-mouthed about
the witnesses they've got stashed away.

I'm not paying you as much as I am
to do something easy.

If it was easy, I'd have McSween
back on my payroll. Do you understand?

Now, don't get all bent out of shape.
I'll try.

But I want you to know,
it's gonna take some time.

And I can't make any guarantees
or any promises.

Well, do the best you can.

I want Lombardi to understand that
what happened to his son was an accident.

Pure and simple.

I'll do my best.

- J.R., you want my personal opinion?
- You're damn right I do.

Get yourself some bodyguards.

Oh, wonderful.

That bit of advice and watching you
eat that burrito just made my day.

CHRISTOPHER:
That was really neat, Dad.

We haven't gone riding in a long time.

BOBBY:
Yeah, it was kind of fun, wasn't it?

Maybe next time,
we'll see if Tracey can come with us.

- What do you say?
- Lf she wants.

But I like it better
when it's just the two of us.

Ha. Well, I like spending time
with you too, pal.

But I'd like you and Tracey to get
to know each other better.

Why? Are you and her getting serious?

Ha. Well, I like her.

And I hope you will too.

Sure, Dad.

Okay, be a little careful
coming down the hill here.

Lean back a little.

There you go.

But it's ridiculous.

I mean, Nicholas' family is in deep cover.
He and his wife are supposed to be dead.

But my police contact got it
from a very reliable source.

Lombardi is definitely out to get me.

Here you are, Mr. Ewing. Will you be
wanting a table in the dining room later?

- I haven't decided yet. I'll let you know.
- Yes, sir.

Now, what makes you so sure
he's mistaken?

Well, to begin with,
if he really was out to get you...

...why has he waited this long?

Maybe the mob put out the rumor
to see if Lombardi was dead.

Yeah, I suppose that's possible.

Well, of course it is.

Nicholas had the mob convinced
that his family is dead.

Why would his father surface now
and put them in jeopardy again?

Because he thinks I killed his son.

J.R., all the newspapers said that
there were no charges filed against you.

Yeah.

Well, that's true.

I feel better after talking to you.

J. R: Let's go get something to eat.
APRIL: Okay.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
MAN: My fault, didn't see you.

No harm done.

Would you please get me
some more soda water?

- Sure.
- Thanks.

Hi, folks. I'm sorry I'm late.

- I'm glad you could make it. A drink?
- Oh, yeah. I sure could use one.

- You got it.
- I'll get it.

Scotch, honey. No ice.

- Hi.
- Hi yourself.

We haven't had much of a chance
to talk tonight, have we?

What do you wanna talk about?

Nothing in particular. I just thought
that we should get better acquainted.

So does my dad.

But no one will tell me why.

[CHUCKLES]

That drink ready yet?

- Excuse me, Christopher.
- Sure.

Your drink, slave driver.

- Where have you been?
- Mm.

The assistant district attorney called
just as I was leaving the office.

Your past sins catching up to you, Mac?

Something like that.

They want me to testify
at the Jeremy Wendell hearing.

- Have they contacted you yet?
- No, but they probably will.

- Dinner in a few minutes.
- Thank you, Teresa.

Everybody, come on,
let's go sit down. Teresa?

- Where's John Ross?
- He went to his room.

He asked me to bring him up a tray.

[BOBBY SIGHS]

All right. Thank you.

[SIGHS]

[WINDS UP KEY]

[MUSIC PLAYS]

[DOOR HANDLE RATTLES]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

John Ross?

Where'd you disappear to?

That sure is a beat-up old teddy bear.

Where'd you get it?

It's mine.

My mom gave it to me when I was a kid.

- How come you're playing with it?
- I'm not playing with it.

- I'm just fooling around.
- Oh.

CHRISTOPHER:
You sure missed a good dinner.

Cally fixed a great dessert.

I'm sure tired of hearing
you talk about her all the time.

She's nothing but a dumb old hillbilly.

- No, she's not.
- Yes, she is.

She dresses funny too.

If you wanna be my friend...

...stop sticking up for her.

Come on, John Ross.

She's neat. I like her.

Do you like your dad's girlfriend too?

She's all right.

You wouldn't think so
if your dad married her.

- Yes, I would.
- Yeah, well, maybe.

But it's different for you.
Your mom's never coming back.

Well, neither is yours.

Your folks are divorced.

That doesn't matter.

She came back last time.

She would this time too...

...if I could just get rid
of that dumb Cally.

I gotta go to bed.

Good night.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[WINDS UP KEY]

[MUSIC PLAYS]

I can't believe it.

I own a motion-picture studio.

Needs a little paint, but other than that,
it's pretty impressive.

I can't believe
how fast we finalized the deal.

If this was in Hollywood,
the lawyers would still be negotiating.

Congratulations, Sue Ellen.

May you never go over budget.

Ha. Well, how about you sticking around
to make sure that doesn't happen?

What do you mean?

Well, I'd like to stay in the background
for a while. Keep a low profile.

So I need someone to run this place
for me.

How does worldwide head of production
sound to you?

When do I get started?

Right away. Now, have you set up
a meeting with that writer we discussed?

I wanna start on the script
as soon as possible.

I've already contacted his agent.

He's finishing a film in Rome,
on his way back.

The agent tells me
he has great ideas for our first picture.

Bruce, I told you...

...the only great idea for this picture
is coming from me.

Whatever you say, boss.

Now, I've called them,
and they can just wait.

I'm out of here.

Okay, here's your airplane ticket
and your boarding pass.

Now, as soon as I get to Washington,
I'll call you.

If anybody calls me,
tell them to leave word at the hotel desk.

No problem.
Is there something I should tell Bobby?

You gotta tell Bobby
that I'm following up on something...

...he's gonna find interesting.
I'll fill him in when I get back.

Okay. What are you looking for?

- My airline ticket.
- I just gave it to you.

- Are you sure you did? I don't think you did.
- Yes.

I don't have it.

- Here it is.
- See?

That's my ticket.

You confuse me sometimes.

J. R:
Thanks.

Oh, Mr. Ewing.

Don't give me any trouble. Get in the car.

- Listen, if it's money...
- No, it's not.

Just get in the car or you're a dead man.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

What's this about?
Where are you taking me?

Oh, we're going to see a man
about a murder.

SUE ELLEN:
How's school?

Okay.

SUE ELLEN: Your new math teacher
killing you with homework?

JOHN ROSS:
Yeah.

John Ross, for the past hour,
I have been dragging every word out of you.

Are you angry at me for something?

No.

Is it your father?

No, it's not you or dad.

It's her.

You mean Cally.

I hate her being at Southfork.

If she weren't so stupid,
she'd have left by now.

Nobody wants her there.

Well, I'm sorry that you're so unhappy,
John Ross.

But that's between her and your father.
It has nothing to do with me.

- Yes, it does.
- How?

Well, if she wasn't there,
you could come back home.

We could be a family again.

What makes you think
that I wanna come back?

You did last time.

Come on down, sweetheart. Let's talk.

[SIGHS]

You see...

...this time it's different, John Ross.

The love I once had for your father...

...is dead.

I never wanna live with him again.

Not at Southfork...

...not anywhere.

That has nothing to do
with him marrying Cally.

Your father and I are divorced...

...and we're gonna stay that way.

- Yeah, but...
- You understand?

John Ross,
I know this isn't easy for you, but...

You do understand, don't you?

Yes, ma'am, I understand.

[SIGHS]

FRANK:
Hey, it's Frank.

We got him, no problem.

No hurry, he ain't going nowhere.

Yeah.

[REPLACES PHONE RECEIVER]

CALLY: I sure appreciate you helping me
bring these clothes back Lucy and I bought.

These sales ladies intimidate me.

TRACEY:
The trick is one-upsmanship.

CALLY:
What's that mean?

Intimidate the clerk first. If you don't,
they'll go right for your jugular.

Oh, I don't think I can do that.

Sure you can.
I'll show you how it's done.

Now, let's see.

Oh, this shop's just across the way.

- Come on, you hold that.
- Okay.

- There.
- All right.

There you go. Thanks so much.

Was there something you wished to see?

We wish to make a return.

We have a very strict policy
regarding returns.

Is that because so many of your customers
are forced to return inferior merchandise?

- I beg your pardon?
- As well you should.

Look at this. It's never been worn
and the seams are starting to come apart.

The garment is completely unacceptable.

Well...

...I suppose we could exchange it.

There's nothing here
we care to exchange it for.

We want our money back.

[SIGHS]

[BOTH LAUGH]

- See how easy that was?
- I'm gonna need a little more practice.

I don't know. You were getting
the hang of it towards the end there.

Hey, let me get this.

Are things any better
between you and J. R?

Not so's you'd notice.

He made me so mad the other night
I crowned him with a pie.

- You didn't.
- I surely did.

I would've given anything to see that.
What happened?

Well, I just had enough.

He wants to act like a husband,
but he doesn't want a wife...

...if you take my meaning.

But I ain't giving up yet.

J.R. Was such a loving sweet man to me
back in Haleyville.

There must still be some of that
left in him somewhere.

Well, for your sake, I hope you're right.

- My feet are killing me. Can we sit down?
- Oh, yeah.

[SIGHS]

[EXHALES]

So how are things
between you and Bobby?

Are you planning on getting married?

Oh, it's too early to think about that.
We're just dating right now.

Bobby is a terrific guy
and we're really good together.

But sometimes I wonder...

Wonder what?

Among other things,
if we decided to marry...

...would Christopher start acting
like John Ross?

Oh, but Christopher's always been
very sweet to me.

Yes. But then, you're not married
to his daddy, are you?

No, I'm sure not.

There's plenty of time
to worry about that.

For now, let's see what store
we can attack next.

Oh, this one's just up a ways.
Come on, this time you go first, all right?

[LAUGHS]
Okay.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

- Hello, Mike.
- Mr. Lombardi.

- Give you any trouble?
- Meek as a lamb.

[GRO ANS]

Do you know who I am?

You're Nicholas Pearce's father.

Your real name is Lombardi, that right?

He was my first-born son.

And I'm here to find out the truth
about his death.

Mr. Lombardi...

JOSEPH:
You will speak when you're spoken to.

And when you do, my two friends are here
to ensure your honesty.

Believe me, they can be very convincing.

Would you care
for a little demonstration?

No. I believe you.

Good. Now we can talk.

Mike?

MASSEY: Dave Culver said
it would be of interest to me...

...and I trust his judgment.

CLIFF: I won't take much of your time.
I'll get to the point, Mr. Massey.

As we all know...

...the government has decided
to build a Super Collider in North Texas.

- Ellis County, to be exact.
- Yes. I was involved in that project.

And I know that the land
the Collider's gonna be built on...

...has already been selected.

But you're gonna need
a lot more land...

...just to house the support facilities
and businesses, right?

To a certain extent.

Ewing Oil would like to help you out.

You know, we've always been
a big supporter of alternate energy sources.

And we'd like to work with you
to find some choice sites.

Ewing Oil owns thousands of acres
down there in Ellis County.

That a fact? How interesting.

I brought along some maps
with some location sites.

I thought I might leave them
for your consideration.

Yes. Well, you know,
this is a Texas project.

All those decisions
will be made by Texans.

Why don't you give me names
of some people I can call.

Ewing Oil never forgets a friend.

Of course, I don't need to remind you
the more valuable the information...

...the more valuable the reward.

Yes. Why don't you...
Why don't you leave those maps here.

Maybe I would get some time
to take a look at them.

Terrific.

I think it would be great
if we could help each other out.

Yes. Well, someone will be calling you
from Austin, Mr. Barnes.

I told you I wouldn't take
much of your time.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yes.

And when I refused to tell them
where my son was...

...he attacked me.

I was just defending myself.

And I've wished a thousand times
I could take back that awful night.

It still haunts me. It haunts me.

Your remorse will not bring back my son,
Mr. Ewing.

You're still to blame for his death.

No. I'm not.

If anybody's to blame,
it's my ex-wife, Sue Ellen.

She was the one who dragged your son
into all of our problems.

She was having...

She was having an affair with him.

And if it hadn't been for her...

...your boy would still be alive.

And... And that's the truth.
Honest to God, that's the truth.

[SIGHS]

Gag him.

J. R:
Oh, Mr. Lombardi.

I'm gonna check up
on what you just told me.

And it had better be the truth, Mr. Ewing.

Because if it's not,
I want you to know now...

...I believe in an eye for an eye...

...and a life for a life.

BOBBY:
What were you doing in Washington?

You heard of the Super Collider?

You mean Ellis County's
new atom smasher, huh?

Remember all the old land leases
I was going over?

Cliff, is there a point
to this whole quiz?

Yeah. It just turns out that Ewing Oil
own thousands of acres in Ellis County...

...right near where the Super Collider
is going in.

I thought it just might be
worth a trip to Washington...

...to find if anybody would be interested
in taking those properties off our hands.

- And?
- And I talked to Kevin Massey...

...Department of Energy,
dangled a few carrots under his nose...

...and I'm expecting a call
from Washington.

Looks like we might
make a lot of money.

That's a real good idea,
except there is one problem.

- What's that?
- J.R.

So, what's new?
He's always been a problem.

You don't understand. That land is all part
of original Ewing Oil assets...

...that J.R. Got back
from Jeremy Wendell.

And we can't touch them
without his approval.

Well, shoot.

Oh, boy.
You think that's gonna be a problem?

Could be.

Why don't you let me know if Kevin Massey
looks favorably on your offer.

And then I'll set up a meeting with J.R.

Let me make a suggestion.

- Sure.
- Why don't you tell J.R. This was your idea?

See, because if he thinks it's my idea,
he just might not be too enthusiastic.

[BOTH LAUGH]

- Good idea.
- You're right. Okay.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

- Yes, Kelly?
KELLY [O VER INTERCOM]: Mrs. Ewing.

There's a Carter McKay here to see you.

Oh, how nice. Send him in.

Oh, what a lovely surprise. Come on in.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I hope you'll forgive me
for busting in on you like this. L...

I just wanted to tell you
how much I enjoyed meeting you...

...at the Oil Barons' Ball.

Well, thank you.

Please, sit down, Mr. McKay.

Yeah. But "Mac," please.
I hate to be called "mister."

It makes me feel older than my years,
which is plenty old enough.

Okay. Mac it is.

[SIGHS]

Look, I feel very awkward
coming here.

I don't want you to think
that I'm making a play for you or anything.

I know you're not looking for a boyfriend
any more than I'm looking for a girlfriend...

...or whatever they're called nowadays.
- Significant other.

Huh?

[CHUCKLES]

Well, that's what they call them these days.
Your significant other.

And I'm not looking
for one of those either.

Well... Well, good.

Then what do you say?

I mean, my office is just down the street.

We're practically neighbors.

So why can't we be neighborly?

Lt'd certainly be nice to have
some pleasant company from time to time.

Well, I'd be charmed, neighbor.
Just charmed.

Fantastic. How about lunch?

- Today?
- Sure. Why not?

Well, I can't think of a reason why not.
Let's go.

SUE ELLEN:
Thank you.

[TYPING]

Hi, Sly.

SLY: How are you, Miss Stevens?
- Sly, did Phyllis...?

- Hi, April.
- Hi, Bobby.

I was supposed to meet J.R. In the lobby
at 12:00 for lunch.

It's half past.
Could you please tell him I'm waiting?

Well, he's not here right now.
I haven't seen him all morning.

I haven't seen him either.

He must have forgotten.

When you hear from him,
tell him to call me.

SLY:
Of course.

BOBBY:
April.

What's going on between you and J. R?

What makes you think
anything's going on?

You were at the Oil Barons' Ball with him,
now you're having these cozy little lunches.

April, he has a wife.

She's trying very hard
to make this marriage work.

You might find this difficult to believe,
but J.R. And I are just friends.

He has always been there for me.

He has never lied to me,
cheated me, and he has never judged me.

And that in itself
makes him very important to me.

The problems he's having with his wife
have nothing to do with me.

And if you wanna know anything else,
I suggest you ask J.R.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

- Hi.
- Hi.

I was leaving and I came by to tell you
I talked to Tommy.

- How's he doing?
- He's doing real well.

- He's leaving the hospital soon.
- Terrific news.

- How are you doing?
- I'm making all kinds of progress.

I'm already up to 1911...

...and I'm only suffering
from moderate eye strain.

Pretty dry reading, huh?

Yes.

But I am getting to know something
about the oil business.

And I now even understand
about half of the lingo that goes with it.

Good. It'll not only be useful
to you in business...

...but if you and Bobby should get together,
it might even improve your love life.

Hey, you and I just got back together
and you're playing matchmaker?

What are you trying to do, marry me off?

And lose Westar's newest,
most promising junior executive?

Not on your life.

Now let's see what you can learn...

...from that glorious year
in Westar history, 1912.

You're all heart, boss.

Yes.

Ah. I've set up the distribution deal
with our German friends.

And I'm still waiting to hear
from our representative in France.

- You have made lots of progress.
- You'll be happy to know...

...that I've heard from our writer.
He is back and anxious to get started.

- Not anymore than I.
- Right.

I just know that you and he
are gonna make cinematic history together.

Mrs. E, would you do me the honor?
How about dinner?

- No, thank you, Bruce. Not tonight.
- Whatever you say.

- I'll call you tomorrow.
- Fine. Good night.

Good night.

You should've told me
you were expecting someone.

I could've left ages ago.

Bruce, wait...

- Mrs. Ewing?
- Yes. But the office hours are over.

You are Mrs. J.R. Ewing, aren't you?

I was. We're divorced. But...

As I said,
you'll have to come back tomorrow.

I'm Joseph Lombardi.

Lombardi?

Yes.

I've come to talk to you about my son.

[SIGHS]

Please, sit down.

Mr. Lombardi, I...

I don't know what to say to you.

I know how close
you and Nicholas were and...

And you must know
how much I loved him.

His death is a tragic loss for both of us.

I have your husband, Mrs. Ewing.

What do you mean?

I've just had a very long talk
with your husband.

Two of my friends are detaining him
for the time being.

What are you going to do?

That depends.

He's just told me his version
of the night Nicholas died.

Now I wanna hear what you have to say.

You're the only one left
who can speak for my son.

And if J.R. Did murder him?

Mrs. Ewing...

...l'm from the old school.

I take the Bible literally.

I believe in revenge.

I know how you feel.

I wanted revenge myself.

When I saw what happened to Nicholas...

[SIGHS]

...I hated J.R. So much...

...I shot him.

And when he survived, I was furious.

I read about that in the newspapers.

But now when I look back
at that night, I...

I realized that I'm just as much to blame
as J.R. For what happened.

In what way?

Nicholas loved me.

He would do anything for me, and...

And because of that, he's dead.

Do you know
how many times I've thought:

If only I hadn't insisted on him
helping me look for John Ross.

If only we hadn't gone
to J.R.'s condo that night.

If only I had...

...stopped the fight between J.R.
And Nicholas before it got so violent.

If only.

If only.

They're such empty words.

But it was J.R. Who killed him?

No, it was an accident.

Nicholas would be alive today
if he hadn't tried to help me.

I have lived with that guilt
for so long now, and l...

I wanted to shut it out...

...to forget that that evening
ever happened.

As much as I loved him...

...l'm just as much to blame as J.R.
For the death of your son.

Mr. Ewing owes you a great deal.

What do you mean?

You could've had your revenge
by telling me a different story.

Instead you saved his life.

[DOOR CLOSES]

NARRATOR:
Next on Dallas:

- You take me back as a full partner.
- No way.

- You're pulling out?
- Not if Bobby lets me back in.

- Mr. Lockwood. You're not what I imagined.
- Better or worse?

When we finally get married
and go to bed again...

...I want you to be happy with me.
- You could make me happy now.

- The man's an absolute monster.
- You ain't seen nothing yet.

- I thought we were in the oil business.
- Do what I tell you.

- There he is.
McKAY: How are you, son?

Call an ambulance! He's not breathing!
