Goodbye, Mama.
Dr.
Samuels, call your service.
Dr.
Samuels, call your service.
A few more days.
We'll do what we can to make sure they're as few as possible.
Thank you.
You know how anxious we all are.
- May I see that for just a minute, please? - Yeah, of course.
Thank you.
Well, I'll be damned.
Ames and Garr got out.
Thank you.
Better get dressed, honey.
Time to go home.
- Already? - Yeah.
No sense worrying about the baby.
Doctor says he's gonna be fine.
Be home in a few days.
I'm not worried about anything.
Everything's gonna be just fine.
Dr.
Fenniman, report to Radiology.
Dr.
Fenniman, report to Radiology.
Something wrong with that one.
Daddy, I found a dead cow up by the Braddock County line.
- Looked like screwworm.
- Yeah? Well, that one's got screwworm, that's for sure.
If we don't take care of it, we're liable to have an epidemic on our hands.
What about those, Ray? They all right? I found one in there with screwworm, Jock.
We'd better ride every pasture and take a look at every head.
That's a good idea, Bobby.
We sure got a lot of ground to cover.
Here comes Ewing III, sir.
Hey, there's Dad and Bobby.
Hey, Dad.
Bob.
Hey, Sue Ellen.
Welcome home.
All the boys are real happy to have you back.
Why don't you give them a little wave or smile, huh? Come on, Sue Ellen.
They're yelling their heads off for you.
Give them a wave.
Sure is good to have Sue Ellen back.
Good.
Good.
Everybody's real happy to have you home, sweetheart.
Including me.
I've been seeing her at the hospital.
You don't know what Sue Ellen's like now.
You haven't seen her every day the way I have.
- She's been ill.
She'll recover.
- lf you give her a chance.
I know how you feel, Cliff.
I don't like what happened, but I can still sympathize with you.
But there's not just you to consider, or the baby.
There's Sue Ellen.
She's an emotional mess.
It's like she's walking a tightrope and any disturbance, the slightest distraction, and she's gonna fall off.
Look, you don't understand, Pam.
I can help her because she loves me.
You'll help her back to the bottle if you're not careful.
I should've let her come to me when she wanted to.
Maybe you should have.
Maybe a lot of this mess would've been avoided if you had.
Wait.
I only did what I thought would best help her.
- What was best for your career.
- Wait a minute.
That's not fair.
- J.
R.
came to me.
- I'm tired of hearing about J.
R.
For once, just for once, take the responsibility for your own life.
Whatever happened doesn't really matter.
What matters is that I love her and I wanna be with her.
I want her, and I want our son.
I'm warning you, Cliff.
You can't think she's better off being married to that monster than to be with me.
- But I do.
Well, I don't care, because you're not gonna change my mind.
I want them.
I want both of them.
Can you imagine all the guys over there? Going around in these little bathing suits? Did you see the way Mark was making eyes at you? Oh, shoot.
- Wanda, he likes you.
- He's not too bad.
- He's got beautiful eyes.
- He's gorgeous.
Let's hope we can get some classes together here.
- Lucy's planning to study this year.
- Oh, there they are.
There's the car.
- J.
R.
- Hi, Lucy.
How you doing? Fine.
How's the baby? Oh, fine.
The doctor says we can have him home in a few days.
Oh, great.
Welcome back, Sue Ellen.
I'm really glad you're home.
I'm happy to be back.
I'll just get her settled in, honey.
- Howdy, girls.
How you doing? - Fine.
Here, let me get that door for you.
Come on.
- I thought you said she was fine.
- She is.
Well, I don't think so.
I think she's acting rather peculiar.
Well, come on.
Let's go and finish our schedules.
I meant what I said, darling.
I'm glad you're back.
And I'm gonna try to make you happy you're home.
I am happy, J.
R.
And I'm gonna make it up to you.
For everything.
I'm a little tired.
I think I'll lie down before dinner.
Sure.
- Here you go.
Here's the last of them.
- Thanks.
Mr.
Ames.
Mr.
Garr.
Louella.
Connie.
J.
R.
in? We heard he had a baby.
- Stopped by to congratulate him.
- You heard? Well, even where we were, there are newspapers.
- J.
R.
's not in right now.
- With his wife and baby, I suppose.
- Are they still in the hospital? - The baby is.
Sue Ellen went home today.
Lucky fellow, that J.
R.
Have them both survive an accident like that.
Well, you tell him we were here to see him.
- I'll be sure and tell him.
- All right.
Real nice seeing you again, darling.
You know, those two scare me silly.
How'd they get paroled so fast? When you're Jeb Ames and Willie Joe Garr and the charge is only manslaughter I guess you don't stay in prison very long.
- Mama, can I make you something? - Yes, thanks.
Daddy been out with the boys all day? I think Sue Ellen looks a little pale.
Oh, now, don't you go worrying about Sue Ellen.
Dr.
Crane says she's in perfect health.
Physically, maybe.
Mama, it's just a matter of time.
All she needs is to rest and realize that all the troubles are over.
- Everything's gonna be fine.
- Is it? If I have anything to say about it.
You'll see.
You're gonna be proud of me yet.
I hope so.
- Hi, Bobby.
Hi, Granddaddy.
- Hi.
- Hi, Lucy.
- What do you say, Lucy? - Hey, J.
R.
- What do you say, J.
R.
? - Daddy.
- How's Sue Ellen and the baby? The doctor says they're in great shape.
- That's good.
Good.
- You look a little tired.
- You been out there all day? - No, I'm fine.
- Just a little warm.
- Daddy.
Thank you, Bobby.
We did run into some calves with screwworm, though.
Screwworm? How long gone is it? - Oh, maybe 10, 12 days.
- We're putting some extra hands on.
- We'll check the herd in the morning.
- That could be big trouble.
We'll take care of that before it gets that far.
Well, I hope so, sir.
Ewing Enterprises has enough problems with oil at the moment.
Doesn't need short beef sales on top of that.
- Don't worry.
We'll take care of it.
- Well, I hope so.
We'll see you.
- Lucy.
- J.
R.
Can I fix you something? A soda or something? No, thanks.
I'll fix it myself.
You know, I try real hard to be nice to you, darling.
You just won't let me, will you? Pam's home.
That ought to make Grandma pretty happy.
Family hasn't been together for dinner in a long time.
Sue Ellen? Sue Ellen? I'm glad you're home.
You look wonderful.
Thank you.
- Hi, honey.
- Hi, darling.
- You look tired.
Did you have a bad day? - Well, we got some sick cattle.
We'll be able to handle it, though.
What's the matter with you? You don't look so chipper yourself.
I ran into Sue Ellen in the hall.
It's impossible to talk to her.
Darling, you gotta give her some time.
She figures out that we're both on her side, she'll come around.
I don't think so, Bobby.
I think she hates us all now.
Sue Ellen? Hello, Bobby.
How you feeling? - Just fine.
- Good.
It's good to have you home.
So everyone keeps assuring me.
- It's a beautiful room, isn't it? - Yeah.
Mama put a few weeks into getting this together.
She waited a long time for this grandchild.
You have to stop thinking the only thing we care about is a baby.
It's not true.
Why, Bobby, I know that you all are concerned about me.
We care about you, Sue Ellen.
All of us do.
Thank you.
It's very sweet of you.
Sue Ellen, you have to stop doing this.
You need friends.
Don't push us away.
Let us try and help.
Sue Ellen I would never use what you told me about Cliff and the baby to hurt you.
You have to believe that.
You can trust me.
I don't know what you're talking about, Bobby.
Yeah, he's about dead.
Damn.
- Not getting up this morning, darling? - Not at the moment, no.
Well, Mama might start worrying, you know? Your mama has had three sons.
I think she would understand that resting is perfectly natural.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
Say, do you remember that little Greek restaurant we used to go to? - Yes.
- I dropped in there the other day No, no.
It was a businessman's lunch.
Honestly.
I'm sure it was.
Well, it turned out to be just as wonderful as I remember it.
I thought it might be a fun idea if you and I dropped in today after we visit the baby.
- I'm not going to visit the baby today.
- You're not? Dr.
Crane says it's important for me to rest.
I don't think traveling from here to Dallas is her idea of rest.
Well, but the baby The baby is perfectly fine, J.
R.
- Well, darling - I don't care to discuss this anymore.
I need my rest.
All right.
All right.
I'll see you tonight.
Bobby's so worried about the cattle.
Is it serious? Well, not if it's caught in time.
It's just a lot of work.
He's probably more tired than worried.
Morning, everybody.
What time are you going to the hospital? Oh, about 12:30, 1.
I thought I'd drive in with Sue Ellen this morning.
What if I took you to lunch? Sue Ellen's not going into town today, Mama.
- She's not? - No.
Dr.
Crane told her to stay in bed.
It's nothing to get worried about.
She just needs a little rest.
Gee, I gotta get going.
It's not unusual for a new mother to need rest.
No.
I guess not.
Come on, Lucy.
I'll drop you at school.
Then we can go to the hospital together.
- Great.
I'll see you later, Grandma.
- Bye-bye.
See you later.
We've got them stopped here, here and here, but look at all the yellow flags.
They've got plenty of drill sites.
They're still buying leases.
Cliff, there are only 24 hours a day, and we can't spend it all on Ewing Oil.
Besides, it wouldn't look good.
Got to be someplace else we can move them.
Well, there's the Palo Seco field.
We've had a lot of complaints from the farmers in the area.
I don't think that's a very good idea.
- Unless the complaints are substantial.
- No, they're not.
Not at the moment.
What about the environmental impact study on the Lindero site? Looks good to me.
You can't turn down that study, Cliff.
There's absolutely no reason.
If your battle with the Ewings begins to look too much like a vendetta you're gonna end up cutting your own throat as well as theirs.
Look, I've heard some rumblings from Austin I don't like.
You're gonna find yourself there answering a whole lot of questions if you're not careful.
So why don't you just do us both a favor and just go slower? - Okay, I'll go slower.
- That's better.
Maternity ward, please.
Yes, I was calling to make an inquiry about the condition of the Ewing baby.
No, I'm just a friend Of the family.
Do you have any idea how much longer he'll be there? Thank you.
Something like this would be nice.
What do you think? I don't know.
I kind of like the other one for you.
It's simpler, more elegant.
- Morning, J.
R.
- Morning, girls.
- Mr.
Smithfield's here with Mr.
Beam.
- Any calls? Mr.
Ames and Mr.
Garr called twice.
They stopped by yesterday afternoon too.
They can wait.
- Well, morning, J.
R.
- Harve, how you doing? Just fine, thank you.
Your daddy joining us? No, no.
I'm afraid not.
We've got some sick cattle.
He and Bobby have been out since dawn doctoring them.
Too bad.
I wanted you both to meet Alan Beam the man I've been telling you about.
We finally managed to coax him away from Egan in Chicago.
And I gotta tell you, there is nothing about environmental law or any kind of law for that matter, this boy don't know.
Harve's been our lawyer since there's been a Ewing Oil.
- Glad to meet anybody he recommends.
- My pleasure, sir.
- I look forward to working with you.
- Believe me if anyone can make hash out of Cliff Barnes' tail, this boy can.
I've been studying the problem, sir.
Has some very interesting aspects.
I'd call what Barnes is doing to my business stronger than "interesting.
" Oh, yes, sir.
Like shutting down production on that Odessa well, claiming contamination? - Masterstroke.
- This is not a tennis match.
It's business.
I've always found, sir, business or pleasure, it pays to give the devil his due.
Now, I've roughed out, shall we say, a game plan.
- Yeah? - Mr.
Willie Joe Garr is calling.
Tell him I'm busy.
- Well, now, this looks pretty good.
- Thank you, sir.
Call me J.
R.
All my friends do.
Won't even talk to us.
Oh, yes, he will.
One way or the other, we'll make him.
We'll make him talk to us.
They're so tiny.
Nurse, would it be all right if I gave my nephew his bottle? Oh, well, I don't know, Mrs.
Ewing.
Usually the mother takes care of the baby.
I know, but my sister-in-law isn't feeling well.
In fact, she probably won't even be in today.
Well, it's not usual, but Thank you.
Well, I'd put my money on anybody that Harve Smithfield recommends.
There's no doubt about it, Dad.
This Beam boy, he's bright.
He's researched the law backwards and forwards.
I think he may be able to help us stop Barnes.
No way of counting on the law, J.
R.
And you can just bet Cliff Barnes has got a legal trick or two up his sleeve.
Oh, yeah, I'm sure he has, but we'll stop him one way or another.
Unless of course Bob can think of a good reason why we shouldn't.
No, J.
R.
, l I can't think of one good reason.
Oh, you'll love it then.
- Not me.
Not for a while.
- Wait and see.
- I'm not gonna have any children yet.
- He's such a little cutie, you know? - He's so little.
I can't believe it.
- I'll put him in the sugar bowl.
- Well, hello.
- Hi.
- You just come from the hospital? - We sure did.
- Well, how's my grandson? - He's great.
- Small but gorgeous.
- Good.
Just like another Ewing I can see.
Doctor said he gained an ounce since yesterday.
I'm gonna get a soda.
Anyone else want anything? I'll have the usual.
How about you, Sue Ellen? Just club soda, Lucy.
I'll get it, darling.
Thank you.
Sue Ellen.
Thank you.
Darling, I wish you'd try and take a little more interest in things, and Interest? In what? Well, to start with, our child.
I don't think he's exactly suffering from lack of attention.
You wanted that child so much, and now you don't seem to care at all.
Of course I do.
Well, it doesn't look like it.
That's what I'm saying.
Appearances can very often be deceiving.
Honey, I know how I know how hard this has been for you.
How difficult the time it was to quit drinking and go cold turkey and I just want you to know that I admire you for it, Sue Ellen.
My drinking was never a problem.
I kept trying to tell everybody that.
And what I'm saying is, if we try, we really try we can solve all our other problems.
And I want you to know I am going to try.
I really am.
Sweetheart, I got a little present for you this morning.
I dropped in a store downtown.
Jeweler calls it a maternity ring.
You bought me once, J.
R.
And you can't do it anymore.
I'm no longer for sale.
Everyone's been so busy these days that we hardly ever see each other except at dinner.
Aren't those rather long hours for Jock, Miss Ellie? Well, Jock's not a man who likes babying.
And I did a little too much of that after his operation last year.
Ray and Bobby will see that he doesn't do too much.
You're so smart, Miss Ellie.
And strong.
You always seem to be in control.
Oh, I've made my mistakes, Sue Ellen.
I expect to make more.
Just not too many, I hope.
You shouldn't brood about the past, Sue Ellen.
It doesn't do much good.
And you have your whole future ahead of you.
And from where I sit, it It looks fine.
J.
R.
hasn't behaved this well since he was 6 years old.
Maybe having a child is just what he needed.
And maybe it's just what you needed too.
Jock and I have wanted another grandchild for a long time, Sue Ellen.
You've made us very happy.
There's no denying that.
But well, we want you to be happy too.
I am, Miss Ellie.
Very.
J.
R.
's been just wonderful.
My little boy he's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life.
Want me to take you to the hospital, Grandma? Well, I don't know.
Were you planning to go into Dallas today? Of course.
I'll go change, and we can leave.
What is it, Sue Ellen? Are you all right? Yes, I'm just a little dizzy.
I think I'll go upstairs and rest for a while.
Why don't you two go into Dallas? You know, Grandma, I don't think Sue Ellen wants to see the baby.
Of course she does.
Well, parents don't always want their kids.
Mine didn't.
Lucy, that's just not true.
Yes, it is.
They didn't want me when I was born and they haven't wanted me since.
Oh, that's wonderful.
I didn't think it would be so soon.
He's doing better than we all expected.
There's no reason to keep him longer.
- Tell his mother to get him tomorrow.
- Pam.
Hi.
I didn't think you'd still be here.
Grandma couldn't tear herself away.
You know how grandparents are about grandsons.
Should've seen the way I fussed over you, young lady.
- He can come home tomorrow.
- Terrific.
He's right up to weight, and all his tests are fine.
Dr.
Rogers, call your office.
That's me they want.
Will you ladies excuse me? - Thank you, doctor.
- We're going to lunch.
Grandma's taking me to Anselmo's.
You wanna come? - I don't think so.
- You don't know what you're missing.
Yes, I do.
About an inch, right there.
- Bye.
- Bye, Pam.
The site is perfect, J.
R.
Drilling's been going on in the area for years now with no adverse effects.
The population's far enough removed not to care what goes on.
I promise, I can draft a foolproof environmental impact study.
And if Barnes rejects this one, bingo.
Abuse of power.
My daddy doesn't think that the law is the best way to handle Cliff Barnes but you may be right.
You know that? - Yeah.
- Mr.
Ames and Mr.
Garr are here.
Oh, tell them I'm in a meeting.
Make it some other time, would you? - You want me to forget about this? - No.
It's worth a shot.
- Mr.
Ewing, I'm sorry.
- All right.
It's okay, honey.
Go on.
What can I do for you, boys? We're beginning to feel you don't wanna see us.
We wanna talk, J.
R.
It must be pretty urgent, you busting in like this.
Disturbing the peace.
Not too smart, couple of boys out on parole creating a ruckus.
It's urgent.
And private.
- Oh, I can come back later, J.
R.
- All right, fine.
- Keep that on the back burner, will you? - Yep.
Excuse me.
All right.
What do you want? - Don't we even get offered a drink first? - I'm partial who I drink with nowadays.
Be reasonable.
We were protecting you and ourselves by trying to get Julie out of town.
If she'd talked to Barnes, you'd have been finished too.
You didn't have to kill her.
She wouldn't have said anything.
- I'd have seen to that.
- It was an accident.
- Now, you know that.
- Well, now, the way I look at it what happened was as much your fault as ours.
We've been doing all the paying up to now.
- From here on in, it's your turn.
- We need money, and quick.
You think I'm gonna give you money? What for? Old times' sake? - You got nothing on me.
- All our money's tied up in litigation.
We're being sued by everybody for everything.
We can't put our hands on a penny till suits are settled.
- You're in a peck of trouble, aren't you? - You owe us, J.
R.
You owe us plenty.
If I had the money, which I don't, I wouldn't give you a nickel.
Now, come on, just show me how dumb you really are.
Touch a hair on my head, I'll have you in prison before nightfall.
Now get out of my office.
We're gonna see to it you're real sorry for this, J.
R.
The only thing I'm ever gonna be sorry for is it wasn't you fell off that roof instead of Julie.
Now, go on.
Get out.
Hi, Sue Ellen.
- Hello, Bobby.
You're home early.
- Yeah.
I was I was gonna go into town for a little while.
Actually I'm going to the hospital to see your baby.
I'd be glad to take you in with me.
- That's very nice of you, Bobby, but - Sue Ellen.
You can't go on like this.
- Like what? I don't know what you mean.
- Avoiding me.
Avoiding the things that should be the most important things in your life.
I don't think you understand something, Bobby.
I'm not avoiding anything.
I'm just following doctor's orders.
Trying to rest and get well.
Did your doctor advise you to ignore your baby? To forget about the past? I don't think so, Sue Ellen.
Nobody ever got better that way.
Things won't disappear because you pretend they don't exist.
You can't wipe out the past by denying it happened.
What do you want from me, Bobby? I just would like to see you happy.
That's all.
And I'd like to help, if I can.
Then leave me alone.
Please.
Cliff.
Hello.
- What are you doing here? - Going to see my son.
I said to stay away from Sue Ellen and the baby.
You plan to start a brawl here in front of the hospital? - lf I have to, yeah.
- Just butt out, Bobby.
It's none of your business.
It's between Sue Ellen and me.
Maybe it used to be.
Not anymore.
I'm not gonna let you cause trouble.
How do you intend to stop it? That child in there is mine.
You really don't care how many lives you destroy, do you? - As long as you get what you want.
- How many Ewing lives? No.
No, I really don't.
- Then what about Sue Ellen? - I love her.
I want both of them.
Her and the baby.
I'm warning you.
Sue Ellen can't take any pressure.
Not now.
She's not well enough.
Force her to choose between you and J.
R you'll drive her back to that sanitarium.
Stay out of my way, Bobby.
My brother's in there.
You wanna go in? You come through me.
I'm not gonna take you on.
Not here.
Not when I can't win.
But I'll tell you something.
I'm gonna have them both.
Sue Ellen and the baby.
I'll get them.
Any way I have to.
The Ewing Oil impact study on the Midland field.
- It's rejected.
- What? I want files on this, this and this.
- Cliff, l - Shaw, don't argue with me.
Just do as I say.
I'm gonna make the Ewings give back everything that rightfully belongs to me.
- Morning, Dad.
- Morning, J.
R.
You're up early.
Yes, sir.
I got an early meeting with some overseas oil people.
- They're leaving the country this morning.
- What's that all about? Well, there's oil fields opening up off the coast of Asia.
I thought there might be something in it for For the cartel.
- I'm not sure yet.
I don't know.
- Yeah.
Well, J.
R have Ames and Garr made any move to get back into the cartel? No, sir.
They're pretty well tied up in litigation.
Short of capital, I understand.
Well, the grand jury said it was manslaughter, but I call it murder.
They should've been put away for good.
Sure as hell, I don't want them to have anything to do with Ewing Oil.
No, sir.
Neither do I.
- Hello.
- Good morning.
- What are you doing up so early? - I wanted to talk to you.
You got a minute? Well, honey, a minute is about all I do have.
- Well? - Is everything going okay, Bobby? Well, we'll have things under control by tonight, I think, yeah.
Is that what you wanted to talk about? I just wanted to know if you're mad at me about anything in particular.
Oh, honey.
I'm not mad at you.
- No.
- Then why did you snap my head off every time I said something last night? Look.
Honey, it's been a rough couple of days.
I think I'm just tired, that's all.
It won't happen again.
Until you deserve it.
I know you better than that, Bobby.
Can't you tell me what's really bothering you? Honey, this Barnes and Ewing feud it keeps making it more difficult for us to be honest with one another.
It is complicated.
Between Cliff, J.
R.
, the baby I don't even know what to do, what to say.
I know.
Cliff was at the hospital again yesterday.
So that's what it is.
Yeah.
And I warned him to stay away from both of them.
- From Sue Ellen and the baby.
- He will, Bobby.
He doesn't understand yet how fragile Sue Ellen is.
As soon as he understands, he won't wanna make it worse.
I explained all that to him in detail, and it didn't make an impression.
- He's out to make trouble.
A lot of it.
- He won't.
We won't let him.
Saying something like that and doing something are two different things.
But why don't you talk to him? Tell him that if he comes near Comes near Sue Ellen and that baby then I'm gonna take him apart.
Tell him J.
R.
and I will make a scandal so big, it'll ruin him forever.
Ewing name goes through the mud, Cliff Barnes goes right along with it.
Do you want me to take Sue Ellen to the hospital today? I don't think she ought to drive for a while.
- Your mother said she had a dizzy spell.
- I'm gonna come back and pick her up.
By the time you get home tonight, your grandson is gonna be in this house.
That's great.
You and Sue Ellen getting along okay? - Well, I'm trying, Dad.
I'm trying.
- I know you are.
Keep it up.
- Truck's ready.
You wanna go now? - Yeah, I guess so, Bobby.
- See you, J.
R.
- Daddy.
Say, Bob.
How many head we stand to lose? It's not bad.
We lost about a dozen calves, but we caught it in time.
Well, that's something anyway.
Yeah.
Get them on in, boy.
- You okay, Jock? - Yeah.
Never felt better in my life.
Well, I guess you got good reason to feel that way.
You better believe it.
Bringing a grandson of mine home today.
- Let's head on in.
- You bet.
Senora, would you like some tea? Thank you, Teresa.
- You're feeling better? - A little.
Sue Ellen, darling? How you doing? - Hello, J.
R.
- Say, I think you ought to get changed.
Real anxious to go into Dallas and pick up that boy of ours.
I don't think I'll be able to go with you, J.
R.
What do you mean, you can't go? I don't understand.
You see, I've had this horrible headache all morning and I thought the sun would help but it hasn't.
Sue Ellen, wait a minute.
Hold it.
Darling.
Wait.
Look.
Sue Ellen, I don't think it's asking an awful lot.
J.
R.
, try and be a little patient.
Seems to me I've been quite patient, Mother.
Sue Ellen you are getting dressed and you are coming into Dallas with me.
I told you, I can't.
Won't is more like it.
I don't know who you're trying to fool with headaches and fake dizzy spells but you're not fooling me.
There's nothing wrong, and you know it.
I am not willing to put up with one of your scenes, J.
R.
Dr.
Crane told me to remain calm.
Dr.
Crane's been saying a lot recently, none of which concern me.
All I care about is that you start acting like a wife and a mother.
- I am doing the best I can.
- Well, it's just not good enough.
You got everybody in this household wondering what is wrong.
Why you seem incapable of displaying any kind of normal maternal feelings.
Don't you have any sense of what's proper? That is real good coming from you, J.
R.
Real good.
I'm not gonna have this turned into a discussion of my behavior.
It's you I'm worried about, honey.
Here.
Pick out something real nice, and we'll go to Dallas.
Now, are you gonna get dressed, or am I gonna have to do it for you? What do you intend to do? Drag me out of this house yelling and screaming? I think I can rely on you not to make too much of a scene.
I'll get dressed.
Good.
Well, what's going on here? Mr.
Ewing, have you any comment to make at this time? - No.
I'm here to pick up my child.
- Mr.
Ewing, would you come with me? - Who are you? - Lieutenant Simpson, Dallas police.
Well, what's going on here, lieutenant? I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, sir, ma'am.
Your baby's been kidnapped.
- A red light.
A policeman's always - I know.
There's been a room set aside for our use.
- Does anybody know who or why? - So far, nobody's seen or heard anything.
Mr.
Ewing, Mrs.
Ewing, I can't tell you how sorry I am.
Nothing like this has ever happened before.
I wanna know why it happened this time.
We're doing our best to find that out, sir, and recover your son.
- So if you'll just step this way, please.
- Wait.
I have to let my family know.
You go with Lieutenant Simpson.
I'll be along in a minute.
All right? Well, now, is that really necessary? Get rid of them.
I don't want this turning into a circus.
Why don't you come with me, please? - There a phone I can use around here? - Of course, Mr.
Ewing.
Right in there.
I'll be right there, Teresa.
Hello? - Mama? - J.
R.
, what's happened? Dr.
Samuels called after you left, but wouldn't tell me what he wanted.
- Is the baby all right? - Mama, the baby's missing.
He's been kidnapped.
Oh, no, J.
R.
- There must be a mistake.
- No.
No mistake, Mama.
- He's gone.
- How? Well, I don't know.
Nobody seems to know anything yet.
Now, you better tell Dad and Tell everybody.
Nobody knows who or why.
I think we all better be very careful.
I'll I'll have Lucy and Pam brought home.
Yeah, yeah.
That's a good idea.
- Goodbye, Mama.
- Bye.
Oh, no.
To be continued.
