Dallas s04e07 Episode Script

Sure is funny.
isn't it? A whole ship just disappearing like that.
Act of God.
Sue Ellen.
I'm warning you.
J.
R.
Keep out of my way.
We'll collide if you're in mine.
I'll guarantee you.
Looks like I got here just in time to break up a brawl.
Tell me.
After all these years.
you bring out this story? I figured maybe my luck had changed.
Don't you count on it.
You don't remember me.
do you.
boy? No, I can't say that I do.
I'm Amos Krebbs.
son.
Your long lost daddy.
Breakfast, J.
R.
? Oh.
thank you.
Mama.
lam feeling a bit peckish this morning.
Thank you.
You ladies like to see today's newspaper? Here.
I got the fashion section for you.
my dear.
And the society page.
Thank you.
darling.
Lucy.
you still pining away for that parking attendant? Oh.
lay off.
J.
R.
You get the funny papers.
- Give me the sports page.
J.
R.
- Yes.
sir.
- There you go.
- All right.
And I think you ought to be interested in the front page.
I'd like to draw your attention to the 600.
000 barrels of crude oil that Ewing Enterprises bought and paid for which are now residing at the bottom of Davy Jones' locker.
And I'd like to thank you for all your sympathy.
J.
R.
Well.
does anyone know how it happened? No.
honey.
not yet.
The captain and crew are being flown home.
They'll fill out reports.
We'll know more later.
I warned you.
Bob.
You're going too fast.
It's a minor setback.
J.
R.
lt's not the end of the world.
A tanker went down.
We lost some oil.
The insurance company will take care of that.
In the meantime.
I can handle the fallout.
- That's not the point.
- What is the point, J.
R.
? What would you have done to stop that tanker from sinking? That's enough.
Talk won't raise that ship.
If you'll excuse me.
I have to go call the Bullocks about that insurance.
First.
put in a call to Steve Taylor.
See if he can pick up any oil on the spot market.
- Okay.
- Call Eugene Bullock.
Find out which company carried the insurance on that tanker.
I want to get a rep over so I can file a claim.
You got it.
Bobby.
I'm really sorry about that tanker.
Thanks.
but if there's enough excess crude on the open market.
we'll be okay.
I don't like buying from auction.
but sometimes you don't have a choice.
Brady York.
Excuse me for sticking my head in here.
but there wasn't anybody in reception.
Well.
come in.
I've been expecting you.
You want a cup of coffee or something? Honey.
get him a cup of coffee.
Bobby.
I got your message.
I read about that tanker.
I'm getting anxious.
I've gotta know what you're gonna do.
I gotta have gasoline for those service stations.
You'll have it.
It's just gonna take a little longer.
Things are not like they used to be.
If I don't get gas to those stations on time some are gonna have to go on short hours.
Some of them might have to shut down altogether.
- I've been a distributor for a lot of years - I know.
I know.
There's only one rule about being a good distributor and that's get your product there on time.
I've never dealt with the Ewings before.
I don't want to offend anybody.
but your brother had a reputation.
But I thought I could trust you.
Bobby.
Look.
that tanker going down wasn't exactly my fault.
I know.
I appreciate that.
I'm not blaming you.
But you told me I was gonna have that gasoline within days and that's when I've got to have it.
You and my daddy go back a long time.
right? Yeah.
You think his word's any good? Good as gold.
Well.
mine is just as good.
Now.
I said you're gonna have that oil.
and you are.
And on time.
I hope so.
Make arrangements for the helicopter.
I want to check out our tank farm.
You get that call through to Mr.
Bullock? Greater Louisiana Insurance Corporation.
They'll have a rep here tomorrow afternoon.
Is it my fingernails making you hum that little song or is it Bobby's predicament? A little bit of both.
honey.
Little bit of both.
Suppose if I turned over.
you could check out the other side? You mean there's a side of J.
R.
Ewing that I haven't seen yet? I don't think it's gonna take much more to convince Daddy that he's got the wrong Ewing running the company.
Get that for me.
honey.
It's probably the weather bureau calling to see if I got enough sunshine.
Hello? J.
R.
Ewing here.
I'd like to see you.
J.
R.
I've got about 600.
000 things to talk to you about.
That sounds like that could take quite a long time.
Well.
maybe more.
Are you up to it? Well.
I couldn't do it until tomorrow anyway.
I'm just about to start a meeting right now.
as a matter of fact.
I love the way you say things.
J.
R.
Let's hope you'll have an opportunity to show me how much.
Two-thirty tomorrow? I'll meet you at my place.
I'll get the champagne.
Sounds good.
Who was that? Oh.
just an old boy who wants to sell me some champagne.
To christen Bobby's next tanker with.
Sure is funny.
isn't it? A whole ship just disappearing like that.
Act of God.
Sue Ellen.
An act of God.
Tell me.
darling you wouldn't happen to know how it was done, would you? And if I did? Well.
I guess I'd be real impressed.
You hardly said a word at breakfast.
You mad at Bobby? I'm not mad.
Not exactly.
You can't blame him for that tanker going down.
That wasn't anybody's fault.
I know that.
Ellie.
Well.
then don't you think maybe you could ask him if he wanted your help? Now.
why.
Miss Ellie? He told me that he wanted to do it on his own.
- That's exactly how he's gonna do it.
- He could use your support.
Well.
we both know it's hard to mix business and family.
But I got to be honest.
Miss Ellie.
As far as I'm concerned.
Ewing Oil needs a strong.
guiding hand.
Bobby wants to take care of it, that's okay.
But he sure as hell has gotta do it.
Like this tanker thing.
He got himself in without any help it's up to him to get himself out.
If he can't well.
it's damn clear to me that I got the wrong Ewing for the job.
that's all.
How you doing? Look.
what I gotta know is how much excess crude you've got on hand right now.
Not much.
Everything we have.
give or take a barrel or two is consigned to the Wilkinson refinery in Galveston.
- All of it? - Yes.
sir.
450.
000 barrels.
He's gonna have to wait for his crude.
I need everything you've got shipped to the Ewing refinery.
You can't do that.
Mr.
Ewing.
Look.
he's not gonna have to wait that long for his oil.
What we pump out of the Ewing fields can replace that in a week.
10 days at the most.
Wilkinson's operation runs on a shoestring.
He can't afford to wait at all.
He's gotta deliver gasoline to his contract stations on time or go bust.
And this is his regular delivery.
It has been for 20 years.
Your daddy and him shook hands on it.
And that makes it sacred.
- Where's your phone? -lnside.
I've got a firm trying to purchase available oil on the spot market.
Let's see what he's got.
Steve Taylor? Bobby Ewing here.
Any luck? Nothing? No, no, that's fine.
Thank you.
All right.
I don't have a choice.
I want all 450.
000 barrels, every drop of it.
delivered to the Ewing refinery right now.
Well.
what about Wilkinson? What do I tell him? Stall him.
Tell him there's been a delay.
and he'll get his oil in a few days.
I tell you.
he needs that oil now.
Damn it.
you do what I tell you.
Yes.
sir.
Can I help you? Nice day.
ain't it? You don't remember me.
do you.
boy? No, I can't say that I do.
Well.
I'm Amos Krebbs.
son.
That's right.
Your long lost daddy.
You don't believe it, do you? Yeah.
I can believe it.
all right.
Here.
have a look at some of these anyway.
Funny.
you coming back now.
Life sure is strange.
ain't it? Considering how many years it's been since you run off on me and Ma.
Oh.
now.
boy.
Don't get me wrong.
I like you and your ma.
There's just other reasons.
that's all.
Never wrote no letters.
sent no money.
nothing.
Basically.
you never gave a damn.
did you? - That's all true.
- Then why in God's name show up now? Well things is different, ain't they? You look at this house section of land here.
That's quite a hunk.
Besides.
you being in the good graces of Jock Ewing.
the head honcho in these parts.
Well.
you just let me tell you something.
Daddy.
I was 15 years old when I came here.
Mama died.
You didn't know that.
did you? No place else to go.
Just the clothes on my back and a note from my mama to Jock Ewing masking him to help me out.
Well.
he didn't have to take me in.
but he did.
With his help.
I pulled myself up.
and I made something out of my life.
Jock Ewing has been more of a father to me than you've ever been.
That sure is a touching story.
One I will remember for years to come.
You mind not scarring my wall? I raised you.
For three years.
anyway.
That ought to count for something.
Yeah.
I agree.
I figure that's worth about a hundred bucks.
That ought to be enough money to buy you the gas to get you the hell out of Texas.
A hundred bucks don't buy nothing these days.
son.
You ain't playing fair by me.
All these years you never come back once.
Never sent a letter, postcard even.
Not a dime.
I didn't have one to send.
I tell you.
things just wasn't good for me.
Well.
I don't owe you a thing.
Mr.
Krebbs.
Now get out of here.
Just get out! You know.
Miss Ellie.
little John doesn't like his stroller anymore.
I have to run all over the place trying to find him.
- Lucy, you want something? - No, thanks, Grandma.
Not like Lucy to stay in so much.
Is it.
Mama? What's wrong with staying in, J.
R.
? Well.
I think it's a great idea.
Lucy.
It's nice to have the whole family home.
That's all I was remarking about.
Almost the whole family.
Bobby had to work.
J.
R.
He's been doing that a lot recently.
hasn't he? Must be living at the office.
Maybe he's bit off more than he could chew.
Mitch! I want you to meet everyone.
Come on in.
Hey.
everybody.
this is Mitch Cooper.
Mitch.
this is my grandma.
my granddaddy that's Sue Ellen.
J.
R.
.
and Pamela.
Well.
if you'll all excuse us - No.
let me just say what I have to say.
- You don't have to explain anything.
No.
I just wanted to say that maybe you were right.
You see.
being poor.
I tend to let money get in my way.
It's just that all my life I grew up believing people like the Ewings were the enemy.
Well.
if that's the way you feel.
why are you here? Because I like you.
Lucy.
maybe more than I should.
Oh.
Mitch.
And it's not your fault you're a Ewing.
is it? Well.
I'd like to go on seeing you.
If you're willing.
Of course.
Provided that we date on my income.
It's a deal.
You're still up.
I had to find out if Lady Fiona marries the Duke of Wessex.
Does she? Well.
I haven't really been concentrating.
- How was your day? - Don't ask.
I am asking.
I did something today that I'm not too proud of.
But it was something I had to do.
For the business.
What? I had to back out on a handshake deal that Dad made years ago in order to honor a commitment that I made myself.
I was between a rock and a hard spot.
There was nothing else I could do.
Bobby.
you aren't J.
R.
You don't want to be.
There's no shame in walking away from something that you don't want.
Let Ewing Oil go.
Honey.
I can't do that.
Everything was going fine up till now.
Now.
I can't back out as soon as I hit my first snag.
Hello, Taylor? This is Bobby Ewing.
What's going on? Your company is supposed to know that spot market inside out.
- I've been trying-- - That doesn't do me any good.
I owe a guy in Galveston 450.
000 barrels.
- Can 't you wait a little longer? - Okay.
but just keep trying.
would you? There's gotta be some oil out there to buy.
Thank you.
Yeah? Bobby, it's Mort Wilkinson.
What line is he on? He's here, in the reception.
Okay.
send him in.
Mort.
hi.
- Would you like something to drink? - No.
no.
- Well.
have a seat.
- No.
no.
Bobby.
I never had more than a handshake agreement with the Ewing family for So I sure as hell wasn't expecting this.
Especially from you.
There have been some problems.
I have a delivery date that I've gotta make.
Bobby.
I've got contracts too.
I got distributors snapping at my heels.
I've got to supply gasoline on time.
I'm not big enough to have any kind of leeway.
and you know that.
Nine months out of 10.
I could have replaced that oil.
- There's not enough on the spot market-- - I can't wait.
Bobby.
My refinery has got to have that crude and if you don't let me have it.
I'm out of business.
I'm through.
What can I say? Bobby l love my company.
I do-.
I ain't got a wife.
No kids.
So it's-- It's my life.
And I don't want to lose it.
Mr.
Ewing.
Yeah? My name is Krebbs.
I'm related to your foreman.
I thought maybe we could have a short talk.
There's a coffee shop right over there.
Krebbs.
huh? All right.
Three minutes.
I have a meeting.
This won't take much of your time.
Margaret Hunter.
That was a long time ago.
You were in love with her.
weren't you.
Mr.
Ewing? I know she was in love with you.
She never let me forget it.
It was wartime.
Back in those days everybody went a little haywire.
Now.
just what the hell do you want? I'm kind of down on my luck.
Ewing.
I thought possibly the mention of Margaret Hunter's name might be worth something to you.
Well.
if you think my wartime romance with a Army nurse is some big secret you're dead wrong.
As soon as I got home.
I told my wife.
She also knows that Ray is Margaret's boy.
Sure is neat and tidy.
I've had enough.
Only talked to you because you're Ray's daddy.
That is the point.
When I married her.
Margaret was already pregnant.
I'm not Ray's daddy you are.
Tell me why in the hell, after all these years.
do you bring out this story? I didn't plan it.
I just happened to see you and Ray in a bar over in Fort Worth.
I figured maybe my luck had changed.
Don't you count on it.
Yeah.
I thought maybe you wouldn't believe me.
I have Margaret's diary.
I was kind of angry with her at one point there.
Well.
that's how come I happened to steal it.
But now.
you have to understand.
I mean.
there I was.
good old 4-F Amos Krebbs.
I had to wait till the whole war was over before she come home to Kansas and then I had to put up with the fact that she'd fallen for some Texas colonel.
- Is my name in there? - Oh.
you bet.
Spread all over the place.
She never really did get over you.
Well.
here.
let me show you a choice tidbit.
October There it is.
“October 19th.
1946.
Raymond's first birthday.
I feel so depressed today.
Jock.
if you only knew how much your son and I miss you.
I long to talk to you.
to see you but I won't come between you and your family.
I cannot.
“ You mind if I see that? Yeah.
it's her handwriting.
all right.
- Have you seen Ray? - Yeah.
Oh.
he don't know nothing.
though.
You know.
in a way I'm kind of glad I'm not his old man.
That boy's got an ornery side to him.
He's a good boy.
You walked away on one hell of a son.
My loss is your gain.
Ewing.
I'd like to keep this.
Oh.
it is for sale.
Definitely.
How much? Well.
let's see.
It appears to me that a document of this importance might be kind of disrupting to the entire Ewing family.
Especially the established Ewing sons and their mother.
I figure it's worth.
Oh.
at least a couple acres.
Some nice.
little quiet place far away from Texas.
I need some time to think about this.
I've been waiting 30 years.
I can surely wait another day.
When that girl brings the check.
would you mind taking care of it for me? I'm just delighted you boys could get here as soon as you did.
To be honest.
Mr.
Ewing.
there are a couple of irregularities in this matter.
We felt it would be best to clear them up as soon as possible.
Of what kind? Well.
it's not unusual to insure a tanker for more than it's worth but in this case.
It's rather a blatant overvaluation.
Well.
I don't own the tanker.
I own the oil.
You can talk to the Bullocks about that.
They handled the insurance.
Personally.
we're curious as to how much the lost oil was insured for.
Whether it, too.
was overinsured.
Well.
you know the answer to that.
You got the papers.
Not on the oil, Mr.
Ewing.
We were instructed to cover the tanker only.
Who is the second insuring party in this matter? There is no second insuring party.
In that case.
I'm afraid.
Mr.
Ewing.
you're without coverage.
That's impossible.
The Bullocks assured me that-- You'd best talk to them if, as you say.
they handled the transaction.
But meanwhile.
no one will be receiving claim forms.
Due to the diminutive nature of the oil spill.
there is some thought that the tanker has gone down under suspicious circumstances.
Divers will be sent down to determine if indeed there was a full and true cargo.
We'll keep you informed.
- Connie? - Yes, sir? Call Eugene Bullock and tell him I'm coming over.
Thank you very much.
You've just made my day.
That sounded very interesting.
Well.
nothing's ever dull about the Ewings.
- You want some more wine? - Please.
Well.
come on.
Tell me the story.
It's just everything is beginning to happen.
I mean.
everything that I've anticipated for a long time.
I wish I had a mirror so I could show you how pleased you look.
Do you remember when I told you l had heard something peculiar about that tanker sinking? Well.
there's going to be a full investigation for fraud.
Suspicious circumstances as to why the ship went down.
It seems that the tanker was insured for double the market value and Ewing Oil had no insurance at all.
Well.
you certainly have this town wired.
don't you? I just know where to ask the right questions.
Everything is all set for a huge power struggle between Bobby and J.
R.
Who do you think will lose? I don't care who loses so long as it's a Ewing.
I want to see Mr.
Eugene now.
- I'm sorry.
Mr.
Bullock-- -lt's all right, dear.
lt's all right.
The insurance company just called.
I don't know what happened.
I'm out 18 million-plus unless I can figure out what the hell you're up to.
Now.
why wasn't my oil insured? I don't know.
Bobby.
except there has to be some reasonable explanation.
Consider.
please we've moved fortunes in oil for your family over the years.
Now.
I've always been straight with the Ewings.
Yes.
sir.
I know.
But there's more than money at stake here.
lt's my business reputation.
- I want to see your books.
- If you think it's necessary.
- I do.
- Except that they're in my wife's safe.
She controls a great deal of your business, doesn't she? Well.
she's in charge of the nuts and bolts.
Has been for a couple of years.
Oh.
she's a very vigorous woman.
I supervise.
She handle the routine stuff? Loading permits.
letters of assignment? Insurance? You figure she's been up to something.
don't you? Well.
frankly.
Bobby it would be in character.
Which is why.
when I turned the safe over to her l kept a key.
Shall we investigate? Ray.
Hey.
Jock.
Didn't hear you drive in.
What you got.
a brush fire? Oh.
they're just doing some clearing down the line.
Man.
man.
you done some kind of job around here.
Thank you.
Jock.
Well.
I enjoyed it.
Well.
it's amazing how rewarding it can be to build your own home.
I built the first house Miss Ellie and I ever lived in after the old ranch house burned down.
- Come on out of the sun.
Sit down here.
- Yeah.
- Want a beer? - No.
Your father came to see me today.
- My father? - Yeah.
Afraid he put the squeeze on me.
Jock.
I'm sorry.
I'm real sorry.
I tried to get rid of him.
Ray.
I don't know whether you know it or not but your mother and I were real close friends.
Yes.
sir.
I know.
I met her in England during World War ll.
I was in the Army Air Corps.
and she was a nurse.
She used to talk about those nursing days a lot.
Seems like the only time in her life she ever felt useful.
The fact is, Ray your mother and I had an affair.
But it was-- It was special.
Oh.
she knew all about Ellie.
I knew about her fiancé, Amos Krebbs.
But it was wartime and our feelings were Well.
let's just say that we were two lonely people.
Jock.
you don't have to explain a thing to me.
Afraid I do.
I was sent to France.
and she was shipped back home.
We said goodbye.
We knew it was over.
We thought that was the best thing to do.
We never kept in touch after that until-- Till I showed up on your doorstep.
I was glad to have you.
Still am.
Jock.
let me handle my father.
He's not your problem.
He's mine.
Ray.
I don't know how to put this so I'll just spit it out.
He's not your daddy l am.
Did Krebbs tell you that? He provided proof.
Don't suppose he needed to.
I know it's the truth.
I just-- I just feel it.
I don't know why in the world I never realized it before.
You tell Miss Ellie yet? Not yet.
but Then what are you gonna do about it? What do you want me to do? No disrespect to you.
Jock I'd just as soon you leave things the way they are.
You understand.
Ray.
that you've got a lot at stake here.
Jock.
I'd be proud to be recognized as your son.
But you know what kind of problems that could cause for you and your family.
And the pressure it might put between you and Miss Ellie.
If it's all right with you I'm just as happy to leave things just the way they are.
You're saying it's my decision? I want to do what's best for you.
It's all I care about.
Here we go.
This is it.
The Antioch.
out of Maracaibo.
Venezuela.
October 2nd-- No.
no.
no.
That's our second tanker.
Yes.
but look at this.
Right there.
The Marshbaron.
out of Maracaibo.
Venezuela October 2nd.
with a full load of oil.
And look.
it's not consigned to anybody.
Where did the Marshbaron dock? Corpus Christi.
That would be our holding harbor.
You let me make one call.
Fredman? Eugene Bullock speaking.
I want to find out if one of my cans is still parked out there.
The Marshbaron.
It is? And the cargo? How much? Thanks.
That's what I wanted to know.
The Marshbaron is empty.
Six hundred thousand barrels of crude already offloaded into the harbor storage tanks.
I have to talk to your wife.
She always knew how to make a little extra pin money on the side.
Mr.
Eugene.
I gave my word.
I need that oil.
This is where you'll find her.
You have cane Nanche.
Bobby.
You do what you have to do.
But you remember this l plan to keep her.
What God and money hath joined together let no man put asunder.
Jock? Jock? Anything wrong? Decisions.
decisions.
Is it Bobby and J.
R.
again? - No.
- Just no? Ellie.
l Jock.
tell me what's bothering you.
I'd like to help.
What time is it? About 3:00.
It'll take a long time.
I have the rest of my life to listen to you.
I love you.
Ellie.
I always will.
You know that.
don't you? Looks like somebody thought your obligation to me was worth just a little bit more.
- Jock Ewing.
- Mighty nice gent.
He told me about y'alI's little talk.
You must have a death wish coming out here like this.
- What are you talking about.
boy? - I got this urge to tear your head off.
Oh.
now don't take it so hard.
It ain't that tough being a bastard.
Well.
listen.
I was one myself.
Don't take it out on me.
It ain't my fault if Ewing won't admit he's your daddy.
He tell you that? He didn't have to.
All he had to do was lay this 10 grand on me.
I just came by to thank you.
For what? Not kicking you to Kansas the first time I laid my eyes on you? I'll admit I ain't made much in my life.
but this here is my retirement.
Get in your car.
Now.
Let me just tell you something.
son.
My coming along may be just about the best thing that ever happened to you.
Well.
think a minute.
You ain't just got a drifter for a daddy.
You got yourself a big Texas oilman.
- It doesn't change anything.
- Of course it does.
You got a pedigree now.
You are somebody.
So what if Ewing won't acknowledge he's your daddy in public? He knows it.
And you know it.
As the old saying goes.
you'll thank me for this one day.
son.
Don't come back.
Ever.
I can tell where I'm not wanted.
Maybe one day I'll put that on my tombstone.
Well.
I work better here.
I'll bet you do.
- That certainly is a cheap shot.
- It was meant to be.
How'd you find me? Your husband.
He's not meant to know about this place.
Mr.
Eugene may be old.
but he's certainly not stupid.
And neither am I.
I put together the details of that business arrangement you had with my brother.
Your brother? What are you talking about? Okay.
All right, I'll explain it.
You and J.
R.
loaded a derelict.
overinsured tanker with water and sank it so deep you thought the fraud would never be discovered.
- But it was.
- Now.
why would we do that? To collect the insurance on the tanker.
To resell the oil I already paid for on the spot market for a sure profit.
That's ridiculous.
And most important of all to discredit me by not insuring the crude.
Don't be absurd.
Our company doesn't handle insurance on cargo.
- You told me you would.
- You misunderstood.
Then let's let a court of law decide it.
Don't bluff me.
Bobby.
You come in here hurling wild charges.
none of which you can prove-- Oh.
wait.
I can prove them.
I can prove them well enough to land you in jail for fraud.
That's jail.
Sally.
You haven't a shred of evidence.
You can't have.
You could make trouble for me.
Bobby.
that I know.
Oh.
Mr.
Ewing.
please.
I want to keep a nice.
safe distance in this matter.
I have a proposition for you.
Bobby.
in five or six days.
I can have all the oil you want up from Venezuela.
You won't be out a thing.
And during those five or six days I'll see to it that you spend them most pleasurably.
Now.
you listen real careful.
Sally and I'll tell you what you're gonna do.
One.
you're gonna sign over 600.
000 barrels of unconsigned crude in Corpus Christi to me.
How'd you find that oil? Two.
you're not gonna accept any insurance money on that tanker.
And in return.
I won't prosecute you for stealing my oil.
And that way.
the Ewing name will not come up again in this matter.
Not mine and not J.
R.
's.
And you better understand.
you don't have a choice.
I'll sign anything you want.
Good .
Can I use your phone? Connie.
this is Bobby.
Will you call Mort Wilkinson? Tell him I've got his oil.
Judging from the expression on your face.
you heard the news.
- What news? - About the oil not being insured.
Oh.
yeah.
I heard about it.
But I'll bet I knew about it a long time after you did.
- What's that supposed to mean? - Didn't you think I'd figure it out? What are you talking about? I know you want to get rid of me.
J.
R.
.
but are you willing to destroy Ewing Oil? This little plot of yours almost cost us $18 million.
My plot? What about you coming in here with all those crazy accusations.
About what? I don't know.
And for what? To get between Daddy and me.
This has nothing to do with Daddy.
This is between you and me.
Sally admitted everything.
And she also signed over the 600.
000 barrels in the Bullocks' holding tanks.
And she's not accepting any money for the insurance on the tanker.
either.
I covered your tail.
J.
R.
Again.
But only so the Ewing name won't be dragged through a fraud scandal.
Well.
I gotta hand it to you.
Bobby.
You can sure recover from a fumble.
But that's no excuse for trying to dump the blame on me.
You were just too dumb to double-check that policy-- I'm warning you.
J.
R.
Keep out of my way.
We'll collide if you get into mine.
boy.
Looks like I'm just in time to break up a brawl.
- What are you doing here.
Ray? - Jock asked me to come up.
I did.
indeed.
Ray.
Grandma said you wanted to see us all in a hurry.
That's right.
Miss Ellie and I have had a long talk and we think that you should hear what I've got to say.
- You listening.
J.
R.
? - Yes.
sir.
During the war.
I served in London.
And I had an affair with an Army nurse named Margaret Hunter.
Now.
when I was shipped home l confessed this to Miss Ellie.
She forgave me for that.
But what I didn't know was that I'd fathered a child by Margaret.
I found that out yesterday.
I have a fourth son.
Ray welcome to the family.
boy.
