Dallas s02e06 Episode Script

- Pamela.
- Yes? - Do you remember me? - No.
Well, you should.
I'm your husband.
"Juárez.
" - Looks legal.
- It is legal.
- What do you want, Mr.
Haynes? - Pamela.
What are you saying? What's this got to do with Pamela? Well, I'm talking about Pamela's lawful husband, Edison Farraday Haynes.
You're married to a bigamist.
Why didn't you tell me? If you don't have proof of that annulment you and I might not be married.
And I don't like that.
That's so nice.
Okay.
A little lower down.
Little Right there.
Oh, my.
Oh, that's wonderful.
Your back is one big knot.
Well, honey, spending all that time on the road and then in the office is no preparation for working You're the one who decided to become a rancher.
Only for a little while.
Now that Daddy's back on his feet, I'm going out on my own.
Just like you.
It made me feel so good, you understanding how I feel about work.
I probably would have come around sooner or later.
I know.
I was counting on it.
Oh, you were? Figured you couldn't be as bullheaded as the rest of your family.
Oh, you don't think so, huh? Well, I can be just as stubborn and bullheaded as the next guy.
Just remember that understanding why you're working and liking it are two different things.
I know.
And that's why I'm gonna make sure it never becomes a burden.
Oh? And how are you gonna do that? I'm gonna think of a lot of different ways.
I'll be back in the morning, Digger.
Digger? I never knew a man could fall asleep standing up, looking right at you.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Excuse me.
- Does Pamela Barnes live here? - No, she doesn't live here.
I was wondering if I could see her.
You're not selling encyclopedias or something like that, are you? No, no.
This is personal.
Well, she's married.
She's a Ewing now.
I don't think she'd be interested in anything personal.
Without salt, everything you eat tastes like library paste.
You'll get used to it.
Doctor said it's important to follow the diet.
Yeah, but he don't have to eat it.
We want you to get your strength back just as fast as you can.
I'll need it to keep up with your shenanigans.
Oh? Which one of my shenanigans did you have in mind, sir? That funny construction deal you got Bobby into.
Now, Jock, the doctor said not to concern yourself with business.
Doc sure likes to get paid, Ellie.
I have to concern myself.
Daddy, that project was my idea.
I knew Sue Ellen was on that committee, and I used some family influence.
And Bobby will do his best with it.
The school for wayward boys is very important.
We've raised a considerable amount of money.
- Sue Ellen? - What, Lucy? - Can I visit? - Visit what? The school for the wayward boys.
Lucy! And Bobby and the architect have worked out a marvelous design.
Ewing Oil donated land.
The way land values are skyrocketing we're gonna get a tax break It's a can't-miss proposition, Daddy.
I'm not fooling.
Hey, wait a minute.
Don't all of you come at me at once.
Well, looks like, Bobby, that your days as a rancher's over.
I must say, it was short and sweet.
This construction job won't take all my time.
I'll still be here at the ranch.
What's next? Apartment houses? - Office buildings? - Please, Jock.
It's all right, Ellie.
No fuss.
But, Bobby it's about time that you settled into something.
When you married Pam, she talked you into coming into the office along with J.
R.
Help run Ewing Oil Company.
Next thing, you're dabbling in ranching.
Now it's construction.
Now, hold on a minute, Daddy.
Everything I've done, I did because I thought it was right and I've never run out on anything.
I value your opinion very much but I think I've got the same rights as you or J.
R.
or anybody else to carve out a place for myself and do something because I want to do it.
Bobby, when it comes down to plumbing contractors I think you ought to talk to Gonzales and about cement, we ought to throw it to Owens.
We owe him a big favor.
Are you listening to me? Okay? Hey, Digger.
Hey, you want a swallow? Harvey, you're a real gentleman but I picked up four days' pay in a field near Lubbock.
Hundred and ten in the shade, so I deserve something stronger.
So throw away that kerosene, and I'll buy you a real drink.
- Come on.
- Sure, Digger.
As you can tell from the preliminary drawings I've given you we have 10 major buildings on the lot here.
A few other custodial buildings on the surrounding areas.
It's all on 11 acres, which gives you plenty of room to expand in the future.
Now, we plan to put the dormitories on the northern exposure to avoid the heat of the noonday sun.
You realize others are bidding on this project.
Well, yes, Reverend.
I assumed as much.
I know this is Ewing land, but that donation was made with no strings attached.
Yes, I'm aware of that also.
Sue Ellen said that even though you are her brother-in-law it was not to influence our decision.
I'm sure you're not a woman who could be influenced against her will.
I believe in being clear about the ground rules.
- I wouldn't have it any other way.
- Fine.
As long as that's straight.
This is your first project, isn't it, Mr.
Ewing? Yes, it is, but I have the finest young architect in Dallas.
The same man who did Washburn Towers, and I'm sure you'll agree that's a fine piece of work.
- Yes.
But something puzzles me.
I'm here to answer any questions you have.
I don't see any bars on the windows.
Yes, well, let me explain to you the way we felt Mr.
Ewing, I haven't seen you in church lately.
Neither you or your wife.
Let me show you where we plan on putting the chapel.
Geologists, they couldn't find oil in a filling station.
In my time, they used to point me in any direction, any direction I'd start walking and where I stopped, that's where the oil was.
I didn't even use a doodle stick.
I could smell it coming right up out of the ground.
Hey.
Barkeep.
- Fill her up.
- You're out of money.
Is that any way to treat a regular customer? No credit.
You know that.
In the future, I shall take my business elsewhere down the street.
Bartender, give him one.
And I'll have a double bourbon.
Well, thank you.
Thank you very much.
- I heard you say you're a wildcatter.
- Yes, sir.
Well, I had a girl once, and she was She was very beautiful.
I know her father was one of the best wildcatters in the whole state.
I had a girl once.
She has gone away.
Maybe it's the same girl.
Hell, my My daughter is lost.
She's gone away.
Gone forever.
That's too bad, old-timer.
My daughter married a Ewing.
I don't see her anymore.
My daughter is very busy, my Pamela, being a Ewing.
You know, the social whirl in Dallas keeps you going day and night.
It's a wonder she finds time for her job.
Oh, she works.
At the store.
Only the best for my Pamela.
Only the best.
Except for the Ewings.
Bartender, two more.
Do I know you? Well, it does not matter.
- Well, hello.
- Hello.
- How was your day? - Good.
How about yours? Terrific.
- They love the project.
- That's wonderful.
Yeah.
Of course, Sue Ellen didn't tell me that there's an extra joker in the deck.
- What? - It seems I'm in some kind of competition.
There are a couple other firms bidding, but it doesn't matter because they love the plans.
- Well, that's good.
Your daddy made quite an issue about that this morning.
There's nothing to worry about.
You should've met that building committee.
They were more interested in if we were gonna come to their church than they were if there's enough room for the boys in the dorm.
Do I sense a game plan? Well, honey, I will adopt my most pious expression but you'll have to cancel those weekly wild parties.
Now, I know it's gonna be hard, but Mr.
and Mrs.
Ewing are going to be pillars of the community until the contract's signed.
I don't know.
I look forward to those wild parties.
I know you do.
It was wonderful, you should have seen their faces Take it easy.
Take it easy getting out.
Yeah.
You all right? It's all right, sir.
I can I can make it.
I'm with you.
I know you can.
I know you can.
Got you.
You're all right.
You're all right.
Put it in the door.
That's right.
I'm thinking I'm gonna go back to the motel for a nightcap.
No, no, no.
Come on in.
It's unhealthy to drink alone.
All right.
It's nice of you.
Yes, Miss Craig.
Right away.
Pamela.
Pamela.
Liz wants you to pick up those sketches at the mart.
Okay.
My purse is down there.
See you later.
Excuse me.
- Would you know where Pamela Ewing is? - Yes.
She just left on an errand.
Thank you.
Pamela? - Pamela.
- Yes? - Don't you remember me? - No.
Well, you should.
I'm your husband.
Ed? Ed? Ed Haynes? My goodness, I haven't seen you in 10 years.
- Could I speak with you, please? - Well, sure.
Of course.
I was just running an errand.
I think maybe visiting with your husband is more important.
Husband? What are you talking about? I don't believe this.
- We aren't married.
- I'm beginning to understand why I never heard from you.
- This isn't the time or place for this.
- I'd like to settle this right now.
- All right.
Let's get out of the store.
Okay? - Now, what's this all about, Ed? - You're so beautiful.
You're more beautiful than you were 10 years ago.
Thank you, but that's not an answer.
I did what any guy would do.
The first chance I got, I came to find my wife.
I'm not your wife.
You keep saying that.
You want to see proof? Here.
Look.
- A copy of our marriage license? - "Ed Haynes.
Pamela Barnes.
" I know it says Juárez, Mexico, but it's legal.
We were just kids.
I was underage.
You weren't in Juárez, and neither was I.
- I was shipped out to Nam the next day.
- The marriage was annulled.
- You wouldn't do that.
- You didn't get the annulment papers? I wrote to you myself, trying to explain.
The mail wasn't very regular in North Vietnamese prison camps.
Oh, Ed, I'm sorry.
I didn't know.
The war has been over for years.
Why didn't you get in touch with me sooner? I was in the hospital.
Nerves and strain.
I'm okay now.
I didn't write.
I just wanted to You know, to be well.
- Ed, I'm married.
- I know, to me.
No, I am not.
I'm Mrs.
Ewing.
But I don't understand.
How could you be married to two men at the same time? I'm late.
Pam, listen to me.
Would you please believe me? I am not married to you.
Pam, I can't believe you.
I'm still in love with you.
- Don't.
- All right.
All right.
We'll give it time.
It's probably less embarrassing if you call me.
I'm at the Sagebrush Motel.
Hello.
- Miss Ellie? Is Bobby there? - No.
Didn't he have a meeting at the building site? Oh.
Well, that should be over by now.
Well, maybe he went by the office.
No.
I called there first.
- Pam, is anything wrong? - No.
- You want him to call you? - No.
I've I've got some work.
- It can wait until tonight.
- All right, Pam.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye.
Oh, Cliff? It's Pam.
Cliff, I've got to see you.
No, wait a minute.
Hold it.
You gotta come up on your right over here.
That's it.
Tell you the truth, I don't remember a thing about it.
Well, if you'd listen to me, you might.
It was my first big trip away from home.
Remember, all the cheerleaders went to the Sun Bowl in El Paso.
Digger was so worried, he insisted on being a chaperone.
Obviously, he knew you better than I did.
Well, that's it.
Watch it! That's good! I was not in the habit of running off, thank you.
Honey, you weren't allowed to cross the street by yourself up till then.
Oh, Cliff, I - Cliff.
- Hey, wait a minute.
Come on.
So you went across the border to Juárez.
You met Haynes, who you'd known for 20 minutes.
I was just a baby.
I mean, he was going overseas, and My first time away from home.
It seemed romantic at the time.
Well, you never were one for long engagements.
Digger came, took me home, called Maggie and she started the annulment procedure.
Now, just think if you'd done that with Bobby Ewing.
You'd be home free now.
Cliff, I am not in the mood for your sense of humor.
I mean, I'm really worried about this.
Why? The marriage was annulled.
Ed said he never received the annulment papers.
It's no big problem because there's gotta be a copy on file in the records department.
Well, that's great.
Okay, let's go.
We can't now, because they're closed.
We'll go tomorrow.
Oh, no.
No.
I need them tonight.
- Master Papa Ewing doesn't know.
- No.
And you want to have proof in your hand when you break it to him.
Yes.
- Come on, you.
Follow me in your car.
- Where? Go to Aunt Maggie.
She'll have a copy.
- Why didn't you think of that first? - What? Oh, go.
I'd like to see Mr.
Ewing.
My name is Haynes.
- Is he expecting you, Mr.
Haynes? - No, but it's regarding Mrs.
Ewing.
Mr.
Ewing, there's a Mr.
Haynes here to see you.
Something about Mrs.
Ewing.
Yes, sir.
- He will see you, Mr.
Haynes.
- Thank you.
- Mr.
Ewing? Mr.
Haynes.
- Come in.
What can I do for you? Well, actually I don't know where to begin.
Well, my secretary said it had something to do with Mrs.
Ewing.
I don't know how much you know about your wife's past.
Mrs.
Ewing doesn't have a past.
Could you get to the point? I'm kind of busy.
I'm afraid she does, and there's something you and I've gotta discuss.
Oh, I see.
Well, if this is some sort of blackmail, I'm afraid you'll have to stand in line.
We get an average of one of those a week.
- Put your request in writing.
- I don't think you want to do that.
You see, the woman that you call Mrs.
Ewing is my wife.
- Sue Ellen? - Pamela.
- Pam.
- You married her when I was in the army.
Let me get this clear.
You're married to Pam? That's right.
"Juárez.
" - Looks legal.
- It is legal.
Of course, you understand that my family lawyers will have to verify this.
I actually don't know about that.
It's legal.
That's all I know.
- No divorce, no annulment? - No.
- What do you want out of this? - Pamela.
I'm afraid you've got the wrong Mr.
Ewing.
You see, my brother Bobby is married to Pamela.
But I want to assure you, I will help you see that justice is done.
The Ewings would never turn their backs on a veteran.
I'm sure the papers are in this box.
We'll know in just a minute.
He was here asking about you, Pam, but I had no idea it was Ed Haynes.
Well, how could you? You've never seen him.
I could've questioned him more closely if I hadn't been in such a big hurry.
No, that's all right, Aunt Maggie.
It wouldn't have made a bit of difference.
The annulment papers are not here.
Well, I could've told you that if you'd asked me.
If you knew where they were, why didn't you say something? Because the three of you been treating me like an imbecile.
Daddy, stop it.
Now, this is too important.
Why? Because your marriage to a Ewing might be in jeopardy? Yes.
And because I might be in a lot of trouble or doesn't that matter to you anymore? Well, I have the papers.
Upstairs.
How could you create this unholy mess in one day? - Daddy, what are you looking for? - We can help if you tell us what it is.
Digger, you promised.
No whiskey in our house.
It's gotta be here somewhere.
There it is, on the other side of the bed.
Here.
Yeah.
In here are all All the memories of you growing up.
Look at that.
That's you, Pam, at 3 months.
Here, Cliff.
There's you in your little sailor suit.
Daddy, do you have the annulment papers? Here it is.
No, that's Pamela's birth certificate.
Well, it's got to be here somewhere.
- Daddy, maybe you put it somewhere else? - No, no, it's here.
Here.
It's where I kept everything.
- Digger, how could you? - It's gotta be here somewhere.
- What am I gonna tell Bobby? - You don't tell him anything.
- It can wait a day.
- I can't do that.
Now, you tell him that your father has the papers.
They gotta be here somewhere.
Bobby, your wife should be here.
She knows when we have dinner.
I called the store earlier, and they said she left on an errand.
I told you no good would come of her working.
Daddy, she'll be here.
Just give her a little time, okay? Bobby, I saw Reverend Thornwood this morning.
He said he met you yesterday at the meeting with the building committee.
He said he liked the plans fine.
He's just a little concerned about you.
- A little concerned about your background.
- What's wrong with his background? - Bobby's a Ewing.
- It wasn't Bobby so much, it's Pamela.
Her father? You know.
Sue Ellen, how did they find out about Pamela? Well, they're a very pious group, and they have ways of looking into things like that.
Oh, of course.
And I bet you're the one who told them just where to look.
Don't get hot, Lucy.
As a matter of fact, I think the meeting went well.
I quoted a few scriptures, and the good reverend said I was the only builder he'd met who could.
Bobby, you're gonna make a Ewing yet.
Okay, Ellie, let's eat.
I'll tell Louella.
Oh, sorry I'm late.
- Honey, I was worried about you.
- I'm okay.
I'll explain later.
Then something did happen.
What? An accident? No.
Nothing like that.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Oh, Dad, I had a very interesting visitor in my office today.
- A young man named Ed Haynes.
- Bobby Pamela, I realize you may not want to hear this but I think we ought to get it out in the open before Mama comes back.
A young man, a veteran had a horrible experience in Vietnam.
He was captured and spent a number of years in a Vietnamese prison camp.
J.
R.
, don't do this.
What are you talking about? What's this got to do with Pamela? I'm talking about Pamela's lawful husband.
A "Edison Farraday Haynes"? Bobby, I'm afraid you're married to a bigamist.
J.
R.
, what the hell are you talking about? Maybe you better tell him, Pam.
Oh, is that all you have to say? A stranger walks in off the street, tells you some lies about me and you're serving them for supper? If they're lies, they're the best lies I've ever seen backed up by some pretty good documentary evidence.
I had a copy of the marriage license made in case you have to go to court, Pam.
- This is 10 years old.
- Yes.
Of course you knew about that, Bobby.
Yes, I do.
Pamela told me some time ago.
Did she also say they're still married? I am not! It was annulled! I was just a kid! I mean, he's obviously looking for a handout.
That's why he went to you.
No.
He never asked for a cent.
He thought I was Bobby.
Said he was married to my wife.
Sue Ellen, I don't mind telling you, that gave me quite a start.
Of course, you have the annulment papers.
J.
R.
, I don't see where this is your business at all.
Well, I do have the family name to think about, and I - I suppose Dad shares my concern.
- I do.
And there is the new building project that Sue Ellen recommended you for.
Ewings made a big commitment to a very religious group.
I don't think they'd take kindly to this kind of news, Bob.
Bigamy is a serious accusation.
J.
R.
, what are you talking about? Bigamy and accusations.
Now, Pamela told you what happened.
Now, some slob is trying to run a scam.
I know that.
That's the first thing that came to mind.
It didn't take me long to verify his background.
I called Ed Keller, you know, we helped him get the job at the VA and he had the records for me in a couple hours.
Yes, he was a veteran.
He was captured.
Spent some years in a hospital after the war.
Story checks out all the way down the line, Bob.
Ed Haynes is telling the truth.
And he wants his wife back.
Thank you for standing up to J.
R.
for me.
I'm your husband.
That's what husbands do.
In the old days, maybe I would've fought a duel.
Why didn't you tell me? Well, it wasn't really a marriage.
I mean, I never thought about it.
It was nothing.
- Getting married is nothing? - Well, under the circumstances, it was.
Bobby, I never went to bed with him.
Digger was sober and found me Then you do have the annulment papers? - Digger had them.
- What do you mean, "had them"? That's why I was late.
Cliff and I went to Aunt Maggie's, but Digger can't find them.
Terrific.
So you have no proof of the annulment.
It should be at the records building.
Cliff and I will go tomorrow.
Wrong.
The three of us are going tomorrow.
- Oh, that's not necessary.
l - Yes, it is, Pamela.
If you don't have proof of that annulment, you and I might not be married.
And I don't like that at all.
- Honey, you said he'd be here waiting.
- Well, he will be.
I don't like him being involved in the first place.
- I wanna make sure it's all legal.
- You got lawyers to take care of that.
I'm sure J.
R.
talked to the Ewing lawyers.
Wait a minute.
Here he comes.
I'm sorry I'm late.
I had a last-minute phone call.
Stop worrying.
I can't figure out what I'm doing trying to keep her in the Ewing family.
Come on.
We don't have time for jokes.
Let's go.
This is no time to be funny.
You've got a great sense of humor.
Nothing here.
- Are you sure it was filed in Dallas? - Yes.
Absolutely.
- There's no record.
- Maybe it's misfiled.
How much for you to go though all of them? No, it wasn't misfiled.
It doesn't exist.
I'm sorry.
- Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm busy.
- I asked, how much? Look, I don't know you, but My name is Ewing.
Bobby Ewing.
Now you know.
I think you're trying to offer me a bribe.
- I'm offering to pay for your time.
- It's not a good idea.
- You give up too easy.
- Look, we're not getting anyplace.
Come on.
- You keep that up, you'll wind up in jail.
- Don't tell me what to do.
- We're talking about my wife.
- My sister! Would one of you please tell me what I should do? Look.
With an annulment, there are four copies.
One went to Haynes.
We can't forget that.
One went to Digger.
Okay? And they're supposed to have one on file in there.
- The last one? - It went to Digger's attorney.
- Cliff, he's dead.
- I know.
And his files were to go to his legal secretary, and she lives in Fort Worth.
And I'm gonna go over there later.
- Anything I can do in the meantime? - Yeah.
You can go to work.
Otherwise, you're gonna lose your job, and at this point, you really need a husband.
- At least one.
- Do you ever stop with the wisecracks? Bobby, it's in lieu of a bill.
Honey, I've got to go talk to somebody.
- I don't know why we're meeting.
- You came looking for me yesterday.
A mistake.
I wanted to talk to Pamela.
- You spent time talking to my brother.
- He was polite.
How much do you want? You know, I suppose you rich people think everybody's got a price.
Did it ever occur to a Ewing a wife's not a new car or a diamond-studded watch? It's a very nice speech, Mr.
Haynes.
Well done.
- How much? - I loved Pamela when I married her.
And I thought about her every day I was overseas.
And I've got news for you.
I'm still in love with her.
- How much? - Is she on the block, Ewing? - Do people still do that down here? - lf she is, you put her there.
You don't hear well.
Must be the sound of those oil wells.
- Maybe you're hard of hearing.
- $ 10,000.
You sicken me.
Now, you are causing me and my family a great deal of trouble and I want you out of Dallas! Hit me.
I'm sure the newspapers would love it.
- What are you doing here? - I gotta talk to you, Ed.
Do you know who that was? You want to blow this? I know him.
That's why I'm here.
He was at the office.
You didn't tell me about no Ewings.
You said you'd hold up that Pam for $200.
- Something easy, something quick.
- I've got this under control.
And those people they got high-priced lawyers and private detectives.
- What about that file in Fort Worth? - It's at the bottom of a lake.
Oh, I don't know.
I still don't like it.
I stumbled onto something.
There's a family feud.
The older and younger brother don't see eye to eye so if I play this right, I can walk away with $ 100,000.
And, Harry, you get 10 percent of that.
That ought to keep you with the $ 100 women for a while.
And keep a couple of guys from driving from Atlantic City to break your legs.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Thank you, Keller.
I'm sorry to bother you at home like that, but I needed that information myself.
Okay.
Same to you, and my love to your wife.
Bye-bye.
Bobby, we missed you and Pamela at dinner tonight.
- We had dinner in town, Sue Ellen.
- Yeah, I can understand that.
Just what can you understand? This whole thing is probably very embarrassing to you.
And a family dinner can be very trying.
Please, I don't need this from you tonight.
Well, I am concerned about your building project now.
I don't think I'm gonna starve without it.
No, of course you're not gonna starve.
Can't see Bobby Ewing on welfare.
But Dad's gonna be pretty upset if this school thing falls apart.
We built it up pretty big for your sake.
Are you suggesting that I turn Pamela over to Haynes so I can build that school? - I think you know my answer to that.
- Yes, I think I do.
Reverend Thornwood is not so anxious about doing business with the husband of a bigamist.
You know, it's not so much that it's immoral.
The reverend feels that if a man is incapable of handling his family he's also incapable of handling his business.
You've got a lot of gall showing up here.
- Jock, don't aggravate yourself.
- Now get out of my house.
Good evening, Mrs.
Ewing.
Mr.
Barnes, my husband's recovering from very serious surgery.
- It would've been better if you'd called.
- I am sorry, but I need to see my sister.
- It's very important.
- Cliff.
- I'll go get Pamela.
- Okay.
Excuse me.
- It's nice to see you again, Sue Ellen.
- Thank you.
You do have a way of popping up at the oddest times.
Like a defective toaster? Well, you don't look at all defective to me.
As a matter of fact, I'm in mint condition.
Yes, I'm sure you are.
- Are you Pam's brother? - That's right.
You're not bad.
Cliff? - What did you find out in Fort Worth? - Nothing.
The secretary had the attorney's files, but nothing on the annulment.
- But, Cliff, how can that be? - I don't know.
I guess Digger messed up.
- Do we have any options? - Only one.
- Well, what is it? - I can recommend an attorney.
She's gonna need one.
Thank you.
That's good black coffee.
Look at that.
Solid as a rock.
Daddy, we know you're sober.
Just as I was when I filed those annulment papers in that cigar box.
The fact is, there are no papers and Pam could be charged with bigamy.
Then what do you suggest, counselor? That depends on how nasty Haynes wants to get.
Well, he wants money.
I'm convinced of that.
- What did you offer him? - Ten thousand dollars.
Ten thousand dollars? Is that all it's worth to you to keep Pamela out of jail? Look, nobody's gonna go to jail.
Just could be a rather unpleasant scandal, maybe a trial.
- Then the next step is to up the ante.
- No.
He's not serious about wanting you back.
Now, I talked to Keller at the VA last night.
Haynes was out of the hospital for two years.
So he didn't come running back to claim his wife.
That might be advantageous in court, but it's not gonna stop a messy scandal.
I don't want Pamela involved in that, so I'll pay.
I'm gonna talk to him, settle this man-to-man.
Thanks, but there's really nothing you can do.
Despite what your father would like to believe, I'm not dead yet.
And if you think, as you seem to that I mislaid those papers in some drunken stupor then, damn it, give me a chance to help my daughter.
Oh, Daddy.
Thank you.
But it just won't work.
Better go.
Haven't you got a meeting with the Reverend? Barracuda.
Well Don't look like it's a funeral.
One of us will think of something.
- Cliff, do you have your car? - Yeah.
- I want you to drive me out to see Haynes.
- Now, wait, Daddy.
Cliff, Pamela's marriage to Bobby Ewing is very painful for me.
But I'm not about to see her suffer through a scandal because of something I may or may not have done.
- I've gotta try and help her.
- Okay, Dad.
Hello.
Would you please ring Mr.
Ed Haynes' room for me? Yes.
Thank you.
Hello? Ed? It's Pamela.
- I'll find out what room he's in.
- I'm coming too.
- No.
- I'm not gonna let you meet him alone.
- Are you Mr.
Ed Haynes? - Why? - You may not remember me - Yeah, I remember you, Mr.
Barnes.
- You took my wife away from me.
- You had no business marrying her.
She was just a baby.
Now what are you doing back here? - Why are you making trouble for Pamela? - I'm in a hurry.
I want you to stop bothering my daughter.
Get your hand off me, you drunk.
I'm not drunk.
Why did he call you a drunk? I don't know.
Yeah, but, Dad, if he's never seen you drunk Of course.
Reverend, I can assure you this school will fulfill the dreams the church had when the whole project began.
- Mr.
Ewing we appreciate all of your efforts.
- But we're here only as a courtesy.
- We owe that much to Sue Ellen.
- I'm afraid I don't understand.
- Your wife.
We can't have that kind of scandal.
Reverend, we are talking about the best plans and the best architect.
And if this whole project depends on what my wife did or didn't do then you can take these plans - I'm sorry, sir, you can't go in.
- Let go of me.
- Connie, it's all right.
What is it? Pam's annulment papers.
I know what happened.
Just a minute.
Connie, see to them.
If there's anything they need, let them have it.
Come on.
- What is it? - Haynes was at the house the other night, and I was drunk.
I showed him some pictures in the cigar box.
You mean he stole your copy of the annulment papers? Bobby, I'm convinced that Digger's telling the truth.
If Digger had a copy, then there's gotta be one on file at the records office.
I think we should go talk to Mr.
Ritlin again.
- You wait right here, and we'll be back.
- Here.
Go right on in here in J.
R.
's office, and make yourself at home.
He won't be back the whole day.
- I'm surprised.
- Why? Thought you'd probably bring Ewing or some reinforcements.
No.
- That's why I came to see you.
- I don't understand.
You caused me a lot of trouble with the Ewing family.
Oh, I thought it was maybe because you cared.
They had a big meeting.
You know, family and lawyers? Really? Gave them a jolt, showing up the way you did.
I don't understand.
I'm gonna need someone I can lean on for a while, Ed.
Wait a minute.
You mean to tell me you're gonna leave Ewing? Leaving? They kicked me out.
How much money are they gonna pay you? I'm not gonna see a dollar.
All I've got is that crummy little job.
- No money, no nothing from those people? - Doesn't matter.
Think if I'd spent another day on that ranch, I'd have gone out of my mind.
In a way, I'm glad you came the way you did.
I'll come to you tonight, Ed.
Get me out of Dallas right away, okay? Of course I will.
I'll be waiting for you at the motel.
- That's a lie.
- Who lifted the papers in Fort Worth? - I know nothing.
- I'll get a court order.
I'll turn this place upside down.
Go ahead.
You won't find nothing.
Let me talk to him.
- Do you know who I am? - Sure.
You're Bobby Ewing.
That's one right.
Now, what will it take for us to settle this peacefully? - What do you mean? - You're not from around here, are you? - No.
- Back East? - So what? - We do things different here.
- Did you drive in? - Yeah.
Then you noticed you could drive a half-day in this state and not see a soul.
No water for miles.
Just plain dirt as far as the eye can see.
What is this, a threat or something? I'm just saying that a man left out there alone might not ever be heard from again.
Hey, look, if I say anything about this, I'll get in big trouble.
Open your eyes.
You're in big trouble now.
You might get out of this with plane fare and a little extra.
Okay, okay.
I made a copy of the annulment papers for myself.
For protection.
Haynes? The pigeon's flown the coop, Bobby.
Oh, he packed up about an hour ago.
Lit out of here like someone was chasing him.
Yeah, well, somebody was.
I took a copy of the annulment papers over to the hotel to wave them under Haynes' nose, but he was gone.
He checked out.
Well, maybe Ritlin warned him.
Well, it's over now.
Doesn't matter.
The reverend called, and you got the contract.
Oh, well, thank you very much, Sue Ellen.
You know I'd do anything to help the family.
Well, Bobby you've finally got a chance to prove yourself.
So do it.
Well, I'm glad it's over.
Pamela, what an awful man to put you through all that.
Lucy, I think you can learn something from this.
Grandma! I'd never get into that kind of trouble.
No, but I can count on you to find some other kind of trouble.
What I want to know is, what was Digger doing in my office sleeping on my couch? - Well, J.
R.
, I couldn't very well put him in with Sue Ellen's church group, now could I? I don't see why not.
