Dallas s02e14 Episode Script

- Garrison.
- Hello, Ellie.
- Mama? - It's my brother.
Garrison.
Well, that old man is not gonna cheat my child out of his inheritance.
We have to give Southfork back to him.
Mama, you are talking about giving up our home.
We'll break you, Uncle Garrison.
You've trained this one well, Jock.
He opens his mouth, I can almost see dollar signs rolling out.
He's telling it like he sees it.
You want a fight? You got it! You run Ewing Oil, and you do that well but you do not run me! I agree.
This would be a perfect nursery.
I was concerned that if he cried during the night he would disturb you.
- Not at all.
Miss Ellie, I have this strange feeling that it's gonna be a boy.
Well, if he's anything like J.
R.
was he'll be a very shy child.
We'll see, but I have a feeling he's going to be very lively and outgoing.
Well, hello, ladies.
What's going on? This is gonna be the nursery, J.
R.
Sue Ellen predicts you're gonna have a lively, outgoing son.
Chip off the old block, huh? Absolutely.
Well, I'm late.
Gotta get going.
We're going to look at baby furniture.
- Want to meet us for lunch? - Thanks, but the chamber of commerce asked me to speak.
They want to hear my success story.
I'll see y'all later.
Well, he's not shy anymore, is he? Obviously.
Miss Ellie! - Someone's at the door.
- I'll get it.
- Yes? - I have a package for you.
Oh, come in.
- Garrison, the painting.
- Oh, yeah.
- There you are.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
Have a look at this.
What is that? Well, that's not a painting! It's a cartoon! I could've had my pick of artists in Amsterdam or London.
I had to wait till I got back here! Forget it! Why are you getting so angry? It's only a painting.
Yeah, I blew up again, didn't I? You said I would.
It's really rather lovely.
After all, he only had a snapshot to work from.
Cathy, I think the world of you, but you don't know much about art.
All right.
Wrap it up, and send it to Ellie Ewing.
Garrison.
Right.
I'll take it to her myself.
- Good morning, Jock.
- What do you say, Ray? - What's up? - I heard something funny I think you ought to know about, sir.
- Yeah, what's that? One of our hands, Ernie mentioned that he saw a truck.
It wasn't one of ours.
Out near section 40 a couple weeks ago.
Why'd he wait so long to tell you? He didn't think much about it until he heard about rustlers over at the Kuhl Ranch.
- Okay, let's go take a look.
Yes, sir.
All right, Cal.
At the next meeting we'll go over that FDA report on antibiotics.
Yeah, you call Ben, Ed and anybody else that has to know about it.
Okay.
Hang on a second.
Raul, get the door! Yeah, and I'll I'm gonna have to call you back, Cal, okay? All right, couple minutes.
- Hello.
- Is Mrs.
Ewing in? Well, I'm not sure which one you want, but they're all out.
Which one? Ellie.
Ellie Ewing.
Well, she is shopping in Dallas right now.
Maybe I can help you with something.
Please, come in.
- Will she be long? - Couple hours, I guess.
Why? You can give her this.
I'd kind of like to tell her who it's from.
I'm just somebody Ellie knew a long time ago.
That's all? - You her son? - Yes, I am.
You look a lot like Jock used to.
Same build.
Damn it, she did it! I read she married that hard-nosed wildcatter.
I didn't want to believe it.
- But you're living proof.
- I'd be a little careful talking about my daddy that way in his own house.
His house? Yeah.
Yeah.
I suppose it is.
- He'll be back this evening.
- Cathy! - Now, you know you want to.
- Miss? Cathy.
Cathy Baker.
- Cathy, is he always angry like that? - No, it's This visit means so much to him and he has to do it his way.
- Did you like that crib, Miss Ellie? - Oh, it's just beautiful.
You know, I think I'd like one wall in wallpaper.
That pattern that I looked at was so cheerful.
- I think I'll order it after lunch.
- What color? Color? I hadn't even thought about that.
Would you excuse me? I have a phone call to make.
- I forgot about it.
- Go ahead.
I'll keep an eye out for Pam.
She's meeting us.
I almost forgot.
Excuse me.
Hello? I'm glad you answered instead of your secretary.
My secretary's at lunch.
I don 't know why you're calling.
What's the matter? What's your favorite color? Well, it all depends.
I guess it's blue, brown, gray.
You know, something sincere for the courtroom or a political campaign.
I haven't much time.
Well, I don't really know why you're asking.
Give me a clue.
It's for the nursery.
Cliff? Pale yellow.
Me too.
I cannot have you calling like this.
Well, I'm sorry.
I can't help wanting to share.
Yeah.
Bye.
- Ernie.
- Hi, Ray.
- This is Mr.
Ewing.
- Hi.
Why don't you tell us what you saw over on section 40.
It's like I told Ray.
It was kind of hazy, but I'm sure I saw a truck.
- What kind of truck? - It looked like a tanker.
A tanker? You sure about that? I think so, but I was pretty far away.
- Much obliged.
Let's go take a look, Ray.
- Right.
You know, J.
R.
, Bobby and I came out here a few weeks ago to talk about a shopping center Bobby wanted to build.
You don't suppose that's who Ernie saw, huh? Yeah, maybe.
This is where Southworth had you tear down your well and cap it off.
That's right.
He didn't want all this turned into an oil field.
I'm not going to allow it either.
I don't see anything out of the ordinary here, Jock.
No.
Well, it's a false alarm.
Let's head back.
- Hey, Jock.
- Yeah? Look over here.
- Yeah, that's oil.
- Crude oil.
I don't get it.
- You got a crowbar in the truck? - You bet.
- Give me a hand.
Let's raise this lid.
- Right.
- I haven't been here a long time, Ray.
- Yeah.
- Keep going.
- Yep.
- I got it.
- Can you hold it by yourself? Yeah.
This oilhead's been tampered with.
See these fresh guy marks on the valve? - Sure do.
- All right.
Put her down, Ray.
Okay, watch yourself.
What do you suppose this all means, Jock? I don't know, but I'm sure as hell gonna find out.
- J.
R.
, I want to talk to you.
- Yes? - Hey, Daddy, fix you a drink? - Thanks.
Ray and I rode out to the section 40 today.
Found a pool of oil near the well.
- Oil? - That's right.
I checked the wellhead and found fresh tool and hammer marks on the gate valve.
Why would anybody fool with that well? I don't know.
You got any ideas, J.
R.
? That well's close to the highway.
It could be just plain old vandalism.
- I'll check on it.
- Wish you would.
- Keep me posted, okay? - All right, sir.
Is this a stag party, or may we come in? Mama, by the way, you had a visitor this afternoon who was a very peculiar man.
- Who was it? - Well, I don't know.
- He didn't tell me his name.
- Are you holding out on me, Miss Ellie? - Jock.
- But he did leave you this present which he told me to give to you.
- Grandma, you have a secret admirer.
- I don't know, Lucy.
He was accompanied by a very attractive young woman.
Let me help.
- Grandma, what is that old house? - That's Southfork.
The old ranch house.
Bobby, are you sure he didn't say who he was? I'm positive, Mama.
Now, who in the world would have a picture of Southfork? Maybe that's him.
He said he was gonna come back tonight to say hello.
I want to speak to Mrs.
Ellie Ewing.
Garrison.
- Hello, Ellie.
- Oh, my God.
All these years, I thought you were dead.
I know.
That's the way I wanted it.
Mama? It's my brother Garrison.
They said you drowned.
Your ship went down.
I knew there was no easy way to do this.
It's almost 40 years.
Maybe you better sit down, Miss Ellie.
Daddy died and then you both so close together.
I just got fed up with it.
All the dust and the dying cattle.
And all those fights with Daddy.
So I just left you with the responsibility.
I couldn't come back because I couldn't face you.
Garrison! How could you do that to me? Ellie, I'm sorry.
I don't believe it.
So this is the famous Uncle Garrison.
The one we'd hear about all the time.
- J.
R.
, get your uncle a drink.
- Yes.
What would you like? - A little wine.
- I'm John Jr.
They call me J.
R.
I'm the oldest.
- Red or white? - Really doesn't matter.
Jock, I was in New York waiting for a ship when I read about you and Ellie getting married.
I guess that must've been the final blow for my old friend Digger Barnes.
- He survived it.
- He still alive? Yes, he is.
- And who are you, young lady? - I'm Pamela Ewing, Bobby's wife - Yes.
and Digger's daughter.
Digger's daughter? Is that a fact? A Barnes married to a Ewing.
Well, if I'd known that, I might have come home sooner.
I'll bet you choked on that one, Jock.
- Close to Digger, were you, sir? - Yeah, we were round-the-neck buddies.
I tried to talk him into going to sea.
Been away for 40 years and all he talks about is Digger Barnes.
Well, I see the feud's still going on.
Well, it makes some people happy.
Tell me, have you made Digger a granddaddy yet? - I'm sorry.
- Well, no, we haven't done that yet.
Well, now, tell me.
What brings you back to Southfork, sir? Well it was a hard decision.
- I talked it over with Cathy.
- Cathy? Your wife? No, I never got married.
Cathy's my She's my good friend.
Anyway, I guess I really missed the ranch.
I had a longing to see it again.
More than that, Ellie, I wanted to see you.
I still can't believe it.
This friend, Cathy, did she talk you into coming back? Oh, I think she knew it was something I really wanted to do.
All the stories I've heard about you, you never cared for the ranch.
Well, as you get older, you look at things differently.
Longing for the place now, are you? I wanted to see it again.
And your mother.
It's amazing all the changes you've made in this place.
A lot more than you expected, I bet.
I want to hear everything.
Everything, Garrison.
Yeah.
Tomorrow, Ellie.
We'll talk it all over tomorrow.
- I've been here too long already.
- Can't you spend the night? Cathy's waiting.
- Good night.
- Night, Garrison.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Bobby? Was my daddy named after him? - I guess he was, Lucy.
- Then I like him.
Well, what do you think? Well, I have a feeling Garrison showing up might mean a little trouble.
Well, one way or the other, we'll handle it.
Whatever.
Okay, honey.
The bathroom's all yours.
Oh, I wish I could stay in bed all day.
Come here.
- Say "please.
" - Please.
I think I have just been invited to play hooky.
Or something.
That is very tempting, but I have three meetings I cannot miss.
- Sorry.
- Okay.
Miss Ellie was so wound up last night.
- What time did we get to bed? - I don't know.
She was so happy with Garrison being back after all these years.
You know, I remember my daddy talking about an old friend of his that wanted him to go around the world with him.
Digger would have gone if he wasn't so hooked on oil.
Yeah, well, I'm glad he didn't.
There wouldn't have been a you.
You keep talking that way, and I'm not gonna let you get up.
Your Uncle Garrison, what a shock.
I think he's gonna try to get Southfork.
Well, he can't do that.
Yeah, Daddy told me that Grandpa Southworth left him the place in the will.
When word came that he was dead, the ranch went to Mama.
Well, that old man is not gonna cheat my child out of his inheritance.
Sue Ellen Ewings are on Southfork to stay, honey.
I'll take care of that.
Meanwhile, I have a few more pressing problems to worry about.
I'll see you tonight.
- Hey, Ray.
- J.
R.
Say, you got Daddy pretty upset with that grease stain story of yours yesterday.
It wasn't grease.
That was oil.
- You struck oil? - That's right.
It's probably a leak from one of the ranch trucks.
Why don't you have a mechanic look at them? J.
R.
, that's crude oil.
Hey, Ray, what's an old cowboy like you know about crude? You have a mechanic take a look at the trucks, all right? In the future, if you want to know about oil, just come to old J.
R.
, all right? Daddy's retired now.
Mama wants him to stay that way.
I don't enjoy winning, Miss Ellie, if you don't hate losing.
Jock, do you remember when you told me I had to go to court and have Garrison declared dead? Well, that was just a formality.
The ranch was tied up in a legal knot.
- Now it's almost as if I stole it from him.
- That's nonsense.
It's just a feeling I have.
Well, I'm going down to the club for lunch.
Don't go.
He'll be here any minute.
You two got a lot to talk about, without me.
I never understood why you never liked him.
It was the other way around, Miss Ellie.
I was the outsider big successful oilman.
He and his buddy Digger Barnes.
They resented that.
Both ran away.
Garrison to sea, Digger to the bottle.
Jock, you're being too harsh.
I've seen a lot of men sniffing around hungering for something that didn't belong to them.
- Garrison has that look.
- He came home to see me.
When I'm sure that's all it is I'll apologize to you for what I'm thinking, Miss Ellie.
I'll see you.
- Louella.
- Good morning, Mr.
Ewing.
- Get Jeb Ames on the phone right away.
- Sure.
Yep? Jeb, is Willie Joe there? Well, get him on.
Listen, boys, that tanker crew of yours is pretty sloppy.
No, I'm not kidding.
One of my cowboys found a pool of oil out there.
Now, I took care of it, but I don't want any more loose ends, you understand? Well, I hope you do.
Excuse me.
Hey, Matt, old buddy.
- Just the guy I've been looking for.
- Well, Ray Krebbs.
You want to get your butt thrown out of here? What's a cowboy doing in a roughneck bar? Can I talk to you for a minute, at a table over there? Well, sure.
Hey, Eddie, want to bring us a couple beers? Well, what's on your mind? You know these boys who work in the oil fields, right? - Yeah, sure do.
- Do me a favor, Matt.
Check and see if there's been any recent drilling on the Southfork.
Southfork? Not that I heard of.
Will you check it out? Don't let anybody know I was doing the asking.
Yeah, sure.
You want to tell me why? I'd rather not, old buddy.
The ranch has a beautiful feeling now, Ellie.
You left at a bad time, Garrison.
The '30s were like a plague around here.
I loved Daddy.
You believe that, don't you? I was never sure he did.
I just couldn't stand that look in his eyes.
When he'd come back from selling off things with hardly any money at all.
I was his only son, and I couldn't help him.
And he'd go right on like Southfork was the most prosperous ranch on Earth.
But his voice had an edge of fear.
He never knew I heard that.
Why did you let us think you were dead when that ship went down? Well, I thought it was best for everyone.
I knew you were married to Jock by then and he had the money to save the ranch.
But Southfork was left to you in Daddy's will.
- It's not fair.
- What's fair? I did what I wanted.
You raised a family.
Are there more than the two sons and the one grandchild? - Another son, Gary.
- You named him after me.
I never knew how alike the two of you were.
Both wanderers, both drifters.
Well, at least one of us is back with you for a little while.
You're not going away again, Garrison? Ellie, I've thought about you and the ranch a lot.
- But it just isn't home anymore.
- Southfork is your home, Garrison.
Sorry I'm late.
I had a meeting run over.
l Why does everybody look so glum? Your mama has something to tell us.
Mama? Come on, Mother.
Don't keep us in suspense any longer.
This is very hard for me because you know how I love Southfork and all of you but I have to do what I think is right.
My brother was named heir to Southfork in my daddy's will.
When he was lost at sea your father and I declared him dead and claimed the ranch.
It was right that we did that then.
Now that he's back Garrison must have what is really his.
We have to give Southfork back to him.
What do you mean, give Garrison Southfork? What kind of reasoning is that? Jock, even when I thought he was dead that day in court, when we made it official I felt I was stealing something from him.
Miss Ellie, it was my life, my sweat, and my money that saved this ranch.
When Garrison ran away, he was bankrupt.
The sheriff was knocking at the door.
Jock, I know how hard you worked but it's still ours by default.
We have to correct that.
Mama, you are talking about giving up our home a place we grew up in.
Even if Uncle Garrison had stayed, he couldn't have saved the ranch.
I'm with Daddy.
I don't mean any disrespect but what's done is done, Mother.
- What's done can be changed.
Jock.
I never told you how How hurt I was when I I found out that my daddy made Garrison sole heir.
But that's the way things were done in those days.
Father to son.
Daughters Daughters always came second.
It was my daddy's wish that Garrison have the ranch.
My conscience won't let me do differently.
I knew he came here for some reason.
He used to hang around Digger Barnes, sang the same refrain over and over: Ewings stole everything from him.
We've got enough problems without turning this into a Barnes-Ewing feud.
Miss Ellie! There'll be no more talk about giving away Southfork.
Jock, we do need to talk about it.
You're overstepping your place, Miss Ellie.
My "place"! Just what is my place? It isn't running this ranch.
It isn't running Ewing's businesses.
It isn't the say of what we keep or what we give away.
I am still the head of this household, with or without your permission! I've asked Garrison and Cathy for lunch tomorrow.
Do I need your permission for that? Cathy.
That's what this is all about.
She's the one who talked the old boy into coming back.
She's after his money Our money.
J.
R I think we better talk to Garrison before we jump to any conclusions.
He might not even want the ranch.
Bumming around all his life, all of a sudden comes back with a pretty thing.
You ought to know what that's about.
Bobby, why don't you stop worrying in advance? Take your own advice, and wait until we hear what Uncle Garrison has to say.
- I can't, Pammy.
It's the first real split I've seen between my mother and father.
- Bobby, they've had fights before.
- Well, not like this one.
This is a throwback to the Ewings-versus-Southworth days.
It's the worst I've ever seen it.
I'm sorry.
I just can't get as worked up about it as you are.
I don't expect you to.
If we get forced off Southfork and find a place of our own you'll only have one Ewing to worry about.
Me.
Do you have anything on Garrison Southworth yet? He's a hard one.
Never stays very long in one place.
Apparently, he has some investments in Europe.
You have anything substantial? Won't know until Monday when the financial institutions open.
Let me know as soon as you can.
Cathy Baker, this is my sister Ellie Ewing.
I'm pleased to meet you.
You are all Garrison has talked about for the last few months.
I understand you helped him decide to come home.
- I'm glad of that.
- You seem to be the only one.
Well, now that you're here, maybe we can settle a few things.
It's such a beautiful place here.
- Cathy Baker, this is my family.
- Hi.
Good to see you again.
- Oh, nice to see you again.
- This is my wife, Pamela.
- Hi.
- Hi, Cathy.
Nice to meet you.
Hey, Miss Baker.
- I heard a lot about you.
- Hello.
- First time in Dallas, is it? - Yes, it is.
Well, how'd you like to be shown around a real Texas ranch? - Why, I'd like that very much.
- Call me J.
R.
- J.
R.
- Yeah.
Say, Bobby I'm gonna show her the ranch.
Just come on over here, darling.
I never realized it was so big.
You haven't seen anything yet.
You'd have to pack a lunch if you wanted to drive across Southfork.
It's lovely.
No wonder Garrison wanted to come home.
- Is this his idea to come back here? - What do you mean? I don't know.
I just thought it's funny after all these years to come back.
Well, it's It's important to him now.
When are y'all getting married? We're not getting married.
Oh, well, I thought that's what this was all about.
I thought it was a scheme on your part to marry a rich old guy and grab yourself a nice chunk of Texas landscape.
- No, of course not.
- Well, I just thought it funny a pretty girl like you hanging around a dinosaur like that.
I didn't think it could be for love and affection alone.
Oh, you disgust me! Hey, wait a minute.
I don't believe that.
Under a different set of circumstances, we could have been real close friends.
You'd do that, Ellie? You'd give me Southfork? That was Daddy's wish.
I want you to know, Garrison, that Miss Ellie and I don't agree on that at all.
- I imagine not.
- What do you think you're gonna do? What's the trouble, Cathy? It's okay.
Her trouble is I told her I knew about the dirty game she's playing.
- What dirty game? - J.
R.
No, Ellie.
I want to hear it from him.
Well, sir, I think you're the one to do the explaining.
Older man like you wanting to marry a young, beautiful girl like that.
How's he go about doing that? Certainly not with looks.
No.
Money.
Why not come back to Dallas? Look up a sister you'd almost forgotten.
Try to hold up the family, latch on to the ranch.
You've trained this one well, Jock.
He opens his mouth, I can almost see dollar signs rolling out.
He's telling it like he sees it.
We'll fight you through every court in this country.
Good.
I could use a good fight.
Only this time, it's Ewing versus Southworth.
You haven't got poor Digger Barnes.
I'm not gonna roll over for you or crawl in a bottle.
Damn you.
You want a fight? You got it! Garrison, wait! Garrison! - Garrison! Garrison, wait.
- No! You married a Ewing.
You've got to put up with him.
I don't.
He says he can get his hands on 3/4 of an acre in downtown Corpus Christi.
How dare you talk to my brother that way! J.
R.
, you run Ewing Oil, and you do that well but you do not run me! Well, Dad, you know I had the best interest of the family at heart.
May we come in? Sure.
Is Garrison here? He's asleep, and I really don't want to wake him.
I thought I'd never get him to calm down.
He's in the anger stage now anyway let alone what happened with J.
R.
But I was very unprofessional the way I reacted to your brother.
- What do you mean, unprofessional? - I am not Garrison's lover as you all seem to think.
I'm his nurse.
What does he need a full-time nurse for? He asked me not to say anything, but I think his sister is entitled to know.
What were you talking about, "anger stage"? It's what he's going through right now why he explodes almost all out of proportion.
But it's normal, it's very normal.
It happens.
The people I counsel and care for go through these stages.
First, denial.
Then anger.
- Then, hopefully, acceptance.
- Acceptance of what? Death.
Garrison has come home to die.
Bobby, why didn't you tell Miss Ellie about Garrison tonight? I couldn't, honey not with J.
R.
and Daddy in the mood they were in.
It didn't seem right.
I don't know if it's ever a right time with news like that.
I know.
Damn, Pammy, I don't know if I should tell her.
How do you tell your mama the brother she lost and just found again she's gonna lose for good this time? Bobby, I'd want to know if it was me.
I know.
I would too.
Thank you, Marsh.
I really appreciate it.
No, no, that's all I need to know.
All right, buddy.
Well, it's just as I thought.
Garrison had 56,000 dollars in Swiss and German banks.
Most of which he's withdrawn the last few months.
Little Cathy Baker has expensive tastes.
Most mistresses do.
I guess he told her about the ranch.
Just too good a prize to pass up.
- Can he get the ranch legally? - Don't you worry about that, honey.
He won't be able to pay for the court fight I'll put him through.
Well, what about Miss Ellie? I think Daddy will be able to take care of that.
I'll see you for dinner.
Good morning, Mama.
Morning, Bobby.
Coffee? Yes, please.
I think you're the only one in the family that's still speaking to me.
Well, after what I have to say, all of that might change.
Oh, please, Bobby.
Don't you scold me too.
I've had about all I can take from your daddy and J.
R.
Pamela and I went to see Uncle Garrison yesterday.
- Bobby, you didn't try to influence him? - No.
No, we didn't even see him.
He was asleep.
I did talk to Cathy.
Are you about to confirm J.
R.
's suspicions about her? No.
Cathy is not Uncle Garrison's girlfriend.
She's his nurse.
She told me why he came home, Mama.
I'm gonna fight J.
R.
and Jock.
They can't have everything their own way all the time.
Even if you knew how, you know there may not be time.
- Don't keep saying that! - I told you, I would never lie to you.
Why not? I've had enough honesty.
Lie to me! Oh, Mrs.
Ewing.
Please come in.
I'll leave you two alone.
What are you doing here? I thought the Ewings would have kept you from my corrupting influence.
By force, if necessary.
Why are you angry at me? Because you made a home with Ewings.
You don't really know.
I know what Jock did to Digger Barnes and I know what J.
R.
'd like to do to me! I'm gonna fight him with everything I got! Is it really Jock and J.
R.
you want to fight or is it something else? Now, what is that supposed to mean? Only that we all have to face what you're facing and we don't want to do it alone.
I didn't come back to disrupt your life, Ellie.
I guess maybe I'll just go on back to Europe.
I can get a plane today.
Garrison you're still running away from life.
No, damn it.
Nope.
I'm running away from death.
Garrison? I'm dying.
- Hi, Ray.
- Hey, Matt.
- I might have something for you.
- Hey, great.
What do you got? This roughneck worked out on the Southfork.
He might talk to you.
His name is Charlie Waters.
- What's his name? - Charlie Waters.
- He says it's important.
- All right.
Send him in.
Mr.
Waters, you can come in now.
Mr.
Ewing.
Mr.
Waters.
What can I do for you? Some cowboy's trying to find out who was on that crew ran the reserve test over on Southfork.
Is that a fact? - You on that crew? - Sure was.
Figured you'd want to know first.
Well, you're right.
I think you're gonna find it was worth your while to come to me instead of going to that cowboy.
There's a drink in the cabinet.
Help yourself.
Thank you, sir.
Yeah.
They're all coming in, Mama.
- Thanks, Bobby.
- I phoned Pam.
She's on her way.
Mama.
Sit down, J.
R.
I want the whole family here.
What's up, Grandma? I'll explain when your Granddaddy comes.
Thanks for coming home, hon.
Sure.
All right, Miss Ellie.
What's on your mind? I've asked Garrison to move in with us.
I won't live under the same roof with that man.
You won't have to very long, Jock.
- What do you mean by that? - I mean that hard as it is for this family to believe sometimes everybody isn't motivated by greed.
Sometimes people do things for other reasons.
Mama, if he said he came back to see his sister, he is lying.
- I checked him out.
- J.
R.
It's all right, Bobby.
Did your detective tell you that my brother is dying? He wants to be here with his family, to die at home.
Cathy is his nurse.
He only has a little while left to live.
I'm sorry, Ellie.
How could we know? I'm not angry anymore, Jock.
At least I found out you love this ranch as much as I do.
I'm only sorry I found out this way.
- Tell him to come home, Miss Ellie.
- I will.
He asked for one favor.
In the short time he has left no fussing, no tears.
Just go on about your business.
- It's good to be back.
- I'm so glad you feel that way.
You know I never really hated this ranch.
It was just that I could never live up to Daddy's expectations.
- I think you're wrong about that.
- Why? - Did he say something to you about it? - He said it very clearly, Garrison.
He left the ranch to you in his will.
Yeah, he did, didn't he? I wish he could've brought himself to tell me how he felt.
You're here now.
That's all that matters.
It's beautiful, Ellie, just beautiful.
I never thought that Southfork could look this way again.
Look at it! It's lush and green.
Hey! It's good to be home!
