Dallas s05e22 Episode Script

The thought of that man with my Sue Ellen.
I see.
- It just drives me crazy.
- Are you asking me to stop seeing Cliff? This thing almost destroyed the three of you before.
Are you strong enough to handle it again? Wait a minute.
I'm supposed to give up Sue Ellen because I'm afraid of a fight with J.
R.
? This is not a fight I want.
It's not a fight I wanted.
But I'm gonna fight and I'm gonna win.
- There's another man in her life.
- Who might this man be? Clayton Farlow.
You won't have to worry about that photographer anymore.
- I think he got the message.
- Thanks.
Pam.
Roger was really starting to get scary.
I didn't know what to do.
- Hope you won't hurt your career.
- I guess it's up to Blair Sullivan.
If he says I have to keep working with Roger.
Then it's goodbye modeling.
- Good morning.
- Morning.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Eating like you got a train to catch.
- I do.
J.
R.
left for the station about a half-hour ago.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye.
- Have lunch with me today? - I'd love to.
- Bye.
Mama.
- Bye.
Pam.
Gonna be here when Rebecca comes over? Oh.
No.
I've got a staff meeting at 10.
Would you leave Christopher with me? I know she'd love to see him.
- That would be lovely.
Thank you.
- That child's a pleasure to take care of.
Hello.
Bobby Ewing here.
Listen carefully.
Mr.
Ewing.
I don't have much time.
I want to meet again.
Same bar as before.
What are you doing calling me at home? Just think how lucky you are you answered the phone.
Remember what I said about my wife? The same goes for me too.
Stay away from me or else.
- Eight a 'clack tonight.
- Why should I? Because if you won't talk to me.
I'll find someone else who will.
These are seismographic studies of the Wellington land.
They project an oil reserve of tremendous potential.
You know the old saying.
“Figures don't lie.
“ And here are the core sample reports.
They'd lead one to believe they're setting out another Spindletop.
Oh.
Murphy.
You've done an excellent job.
Really excellent.
I'm glad you got what you wanted.
There's not the remotest chance there's any oil under this property? Not a drop.
Judging by the real report.
It's the driest section in the county.
And when people read your report? They'll be halfway to the bank.
Trying to raise money to get at it.
All right.
Murphy here's the deed to your house paid in full.
I don't expect we'll be seeing you around here for a while.
You won't.
- Sly? - Yes, sir? - Ring Marilee Stone for me.
Will you? - Yes, sir.
- Mes? - Hello, J.
R.
Marilee.
We're ready to roll.
If I pull this off, J.
R.
.
you owe me.
Honey.
If you pull this off, I'm all yours.
All mine? No.
You keep your mind and soul.
J.
R.
I just want your body.
Have the documents sent over.
Christopher is absolutely marvelous.
You must love having him around.
Well.
He's brought a lot of joy to this house.
But you didn't just come over to see the baby.
Did you? I'm afraid not.
Cliff and J.
R.
seem to be at odds again.
Something must have happened.
Something I'm not aware of.
No tea for me.
Please.
Cliff had a job offer in Tulsa with Wally Hampton of Olco Industries.
The offer turned out to be a trap set by J.
R.
to humiliate and discredit my son.
Well.
Are sure you it was J.
R.
? We're sure he was behind the offer of the job.
But why would he do that? Sue Ellen.
Cliff is seeing her.
Well.
No wonder there's trouble.
Ellie.
What can we do? I don't know.
If Sue Ellen is the battleground.
Then things will get worse.
J.
R.
went to great lengths to get her away from the Farlows.
I thought that battle was over John Ross.
It was.
And Cliff is facing the same fight.
So would any man who courts Sue Ellen.
She's John Ross' mother and J.
R.
doesn't want any man between himself and his son.
You sure you can get away from Washington for 24 hours? I really appreciate it.
Okay.
I'll pick you up at the airport tomorrow.
Thanks.
Dave.
February 3rd, 1930.
Begin with the offer to Jonas, but the old cont just still won't budge.
Jock thinks the land is worth a fortune in oil.
Hello there.
Busy lady.
What do you say we go down to Braddock and have some lunch.
What's wrong? Can I ask you sort of an odd question? Sure.
What is it? You came to Southfork 15.
20 years ago.
What was Jock like then? Jock was a great man.
Nothing else? He's decent.
Kind.
He sure did right by me.
Practically perfect? No.
Not perfect.
He's the best man I ever knew.
Never be another one like him.
- Your table's ready.
J.
R.
- Oh.
Thank you.
I'll take your drink.
Well.
Afton.
What brings you here? Your ex-wife's love life.
Sit down.
Oh.
No.
Thank you.
Well.
I don't suppose you're here to tell me you got Cliff Barnes away from Sue Ellen.
No.
I can't say I managed that.
What do you want.
Afton? A favor.
Look.
I know you're gunning for Cliff.
I also know you can destroy him.
You have a grasp of the situation I wish Barnes had.
I don't want you to do it.
Why not? Because Sue Ellen is gonna dump him real soon.
Then he'll come back to me.
I want him back in one piece.
J.
R with all his assets intact.
Why would Sue Ellen want to dump him? I don't think even she realizes it yet.
But there's another man in her life.
A man who's more important than Cliff.
A man who's really in love with her.
Who might this man be? I can't believe you haven't figured it out either.
I'm taking about Clayton Farlow.
Miss Ellie.
Please come in.
I hope I'm not interrupting John Ross' lunch.
No.
Not at all.
He just finished.
He's upstairs playing.
Shall I get him for you? I'm sure he'd love to see his grandma.
Well.
Actually.
Sue Ellen.
I didn't come to see John Ross.
I came to speak to you.
Well.
May I fix you some coffee? No.
Thank you.
Won't you sit down.
I wanna talk about you and J.
R.
And Cliff Barnes.
Miss Ellie.
This is quite unlike you to question me about my personal life.
Normally.
I wouldn't but there's a lot more at stake here than just your personal interests.
Two whole families are involved.
I really don't understand.
Well.
I'm sure that you know what your seeing Cliff Barnes is doing to J.
R.
That's J.
R.
's problem.
Not mine.
We're divorced now.
Yes.
I know that.
But J.
R.
and Cliff are already at each other's throats.
And it's beginning to have its effect on too many people.
Are you asking me to stop seeing Cliff? No.
No.
I don't have any right to do that.
If you're serious about him.
Are you.
Sue Ellen? Or are you using him to get back at J.
R? Miss Ellie.
I don't think it's any of your business.
This thing almost destroyed the three of you once before.
Are you strong enough to handle it again? I don't know.
Miss Ellie.
I really don't know.
Well.
I thought that you and Roger worked fine in the last session.
Well.
Let's just say there's still a problem.
Okay.
Do you want to talk about it? No.
Well.
I mean.
I don't want to be specific.
Well.
Then what can I do for you? Well.
I was just wondering if there's another photographer I could use besides Roger.
You mean you'd like to work with somebody else.
Well.
Sure.
Anyone.
Well.
I mean anyone else that's good.
That is.
Being a model is something that you want.
Isn't it.
Lucy? I mean.
You've made that decision.
It's what I want.
Blair.
But I want it on my terms.
No Roger? No Roger.
Well.
You know something? You don't need him.
You're gonna go a long way in this business, Lucy Cooper.
We'll just have to find you another photographer.
That's all.
And I'll break the news to Roger.
Thanks.
There's no way I'm paying you a dime.
You want me to keep my mouth shut.
Pay me.
Would you like me to bring the police into this? You think what you did was legal? I might have to pay a little fine.
But you sold the baby.
I don't know about other states.
But here in Texas, you go to jail.
Well.
You think I care about jail? I got worse problems.
I don't have a lot left to lose.
You better decide how important that child is to you.
Because if I don't get paid.
I blow the whistle.
There.
Sweetie.
Look.
Look what we got.
Oh.
Yeah.
You gonna put those feet down? You gonna put those feet down? - Hi.
Honey.
- Hi.
I didn't expect you to be so late.
The meeting took a little longer than I thought.
Are you hungry? I'll warm you dinner.
I'm exhausted.
I just want to get to bed.
You have to wait to hear my good news first.
What's that? The Department of Human Resources called today.
- Yeah? - They're sending a Mrs.
Gillman tomorrow.
She's gonna check and see we're providing Christopher with a good home.
Well.
That shouldn't be any problem.
Well.
I know.
That's why I'm so excited.
Once she files the report there's nothing to prevent us from legally adopting Christopher.
Oh.
That's right.
Yes.
- Yes.
- Mr.
Barnes, Marilee Stone is here.
- Send her in.
- Yes, sir.
Marilee.
What can I do for you? He has done it to me for the last time.
I need your help.
Cliff.
I wanna get back at him.
Now.
Who are we talking about? You know who.
J.
R.
Ewing.
This town's resident snake in the grass.
Well.
I thought you two were getting along just fine.
Sure we were.
He was full of sweetness and promises.
Promises he didn't keep.
Now.
Look.
Don't tell me that you took the word of J.
R.
Ewing at face value.
He promised to marry me.
To marry me.
And you know why? You know what that cobra really wanted? All he wanted was for me to help him get back in with the Cartel.
He never had any love for me.
He's too obsessed with that ex-wife of his.
Obsessed? You know J.
R.
He just can't stand to lose.
Well.
That's nothing new.
This time.
Somebody's getting close to his ex-wife and it's really driving him crazy.
Well.
What can I do? I wanna hurt him.
Cliff.
Where it matters.
I wanna hurt his pride and his pocketbook.
Just how do you think you can do that? J.
R.
and I are involved in a land deal.
A big one.
We're talking lots of oil.
Cliff.
I mean a hot piece of property.
Weststar just bought the adjoining piece.
Weststar? Well.
There must be something to it.
How much land and what's the cost? It's a full section at $10,000 an acre.
That's 6.
5 million.
We come in at three and a quarter apiece steal it right out of J.
R.
's greedy little paws.
You can cover that.
Can't you? Yeah.
Yeah.
That's no problem.
It's just.
How much oil is here? I've got the geologist reports.
You won't believe your eyes.
Okay.
Just leave this with me.
Marilee.
And I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
You've got to move fast.
I mean right away.
I hate being used, Cliff.
I want J.
R.
Ewing to remember that.
Miss Ellie.
I'd like you to meet my mother-in-law.
Miss Ellie Ewing.
- This is Mrs.
Gillman.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Mrs.
Gillman.
- Hello.
- You're the adoption investigator? - That's right.
- Please sit down.
- Thank you.
We've been expecting your visit.
I hope everything is all right.
Oh.
Yes.
It's lovely.
I always look forward to meeting the prospective parents.
And the baby is just wonderful.
He's a lucky youngster.
Well.
I'm sure that Christopher would agree with that.
We think we're the lucky ones.
How long do you think it'll be before the adoption is final? Usually six months.
In your case.
Perhaps we can shorten the time a little.
You and the baby are obviously very right for each other.
J.
R.
.
I've located Clayton Farlow for you.
He's staying at the Fairview in Dallas for a couple of days.
Well.
That's convenient.
Get him on the phone for me.
Sly.
Sure.
J.
R.
My God.
On top of everything else Jonas made my father his sole heir.
He got everything.
And Jonas' property was the field that started the entire Culver-Ewing fortunes.
Can you imagine what people would think if they read that? I sure can.
The early years would sell twice as many copies as the political years.
Nothing like a little scandal.
Look.
Anyway.
You know why I wanted you to come down here.
I cared a lot for your father.
I don't want to do anything that would hurt his image.
But he did so much good later on.
I don't think this will hurt him.
As for me.
I don't trade anymore on the fact that I'm Sam Culver's son.
I made my own reputation as a politician.
You still have to deal with it when it hits the papers.
It happened 50 years ago.
And there were mitigating or at least understandable reasons for what happened.
Donna.
As far as I'm concerned.
You can use any of this material in the book.
I wish it was that simple.
You mean the Ewings? I take it you haven't talked to Miss Ellie.
No.
I don't know how to tell her what I know about Jock's involvement with Sam.
You'll handle it well.
I'm sure.
Maybe there's another way to deal with this.
The only other way to deal with it is to leave it out of the book.
Are you ready to do that? I don't know.
Well.
While you're thinking let's go find Ray and have that dinner you promised.
Well.
What do you think? These reports are excellent.
As promising a field as I've seen.
You're the expert.
Mr.
Fragner.
- What would you do if you were me? - I'd go ahead without hesitation.
Thank you for your opinion.
My pleasure.
Mr.
Barnes.
I don't know how you got the option on that field.
But it's a hell of a find.
Marie.
Send in Mr.
Forest.
Mr.
Barnes? Come in.
Mr.
Forest.
Please.
Have a seat.
And what can I do for you? You can do plenty for me.
You can draw a Wentworth check for $4 million and make it payable to Wellington land escrow account.
Mr.
Barnes, that is not the way Wentworth Tool and Dye operates.
I know you're the company comptroller but don't presume to tell me how to run this company.
No.
No.
Of course not.
But I'll have to get authorization from corporate headquarters in Houston.
No.
No.
No.
No.
no.
I know that you got a letter from Houston that gives me total authority and this is something that I want you to do now.
But we don't have that much money in the new acquisitions fund.
Then take it from R and D.
But if we take from research and development.
Mr.
Barnes it's going to stop some of our most important projects cold.
I want the check today.
Do you understand? I understand.
Mr.
Barnes.
Thank you.
Mr.
Forest.
Marilee.
Cliff.
Let's meet at the bank tomorrow.
- Hello.
Clayton.
- J.
R.
I appreciate you coming.
Sit down.
- Buy you a drink? - Scotch and water.
Please.
- Hit me again.
Same thing.
Honey.
- Yes.
- What is it you wanted to see me about? - Sue Ellen.
I understand she depends on you for guidance, among other things.
She needs somebody.
I don't suppose you're responsible for her turning against me? No.
I wasn't.
But I certainly tried.
I suppose you'll be a lot happier to hear that she's with Cliff Barnes now.
How about a little toast to Sue Ellen.
I don't think we're here to toast to your ex-wife, J.
R.
No.
No.
We're not.
I had little visit from Afton Cooper.
It's amazing how perceptive a young woman like that can be - don't you think? - Ls there a point here.
J.
R.
? Well.
Yes.
The point being that sometimes women can see things that men tend to overlook.
Like for instance.
Why you were so fiercely protective of Sue Ellen.
When she was on Southern Cross.
For the sake of my son.
For the sake of yourself.
You weren't acting for Dusty Farlow.
- You're acting for Clayton Farlow.
- That's ridiculous.
You're a fraud.
You call yourself a gentleman.
Her friend.
Her protector.
And all the time you wanted her for your lover.
You are a contemptible man.
J.
R.
You admit it.
You didn't want her for your son you wanted her for yourself.
Do I understand correctly? You each wish to put up half the purchase price? Mr.
Loeb.
You may draw my 3.
25 million from the Stonehurst account I keep here.
Mr.
Barnes? Here is a cashier's check for 4 million.
And my personal check for 500.
000.
I don't understand.
Well.
If it's all right with Mrs.
Stone I'd like to assume a larger portion of the risk in this venture.
Are you sure.
Cliff? Fifty-fifty is fine with me.
No.
No.
Really.
It's my pleasure.
Marilee.
My 4 and a half and your 2.
How would like the papers made out.
Wentworth-Stonehurst Oil? You'll make that Barnes-Stonehurst.
I'll have papers drawn up immediately.
Thank you.
Mr.
Loeb.
Shall we have a celebration lunch? There's certainly a reason to celebrate.
Please.
Mr.
Ewing.
Get your hands off me.
We gotta talk.
It's very important.
What happened to the old hard sell.
Farraday? It'll be worth it, I promise.
Where and when? Six.
The usual spot.
Hey.
This can be good for both of us.
Okay.
Vanessa.
Let's see if we can get one right here.
All right.
Looking up in there.
Good.
Good.
Take it out here.
And let's go.
Right.
That's right.
Now.
That real angular look.
Oh.
Yeah.
That's good.
Now.
Give me that turn to the side and come back at me.
Good.
Big smile.
Big smile.
That's it.
Right at me.
Right at me.
Love it.
Love it.
Great, super.
Super.
Looking good.
Let's change outfits and see if we can do another one, all right? Blair.
How long you've been standing there? - Oh.
Not long.
That's a good-looking girl.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
She's fine.
So.
What's happening.
Blair? More work? I'm up to my ears.
No.
No.
No.
No more work.
We have to have a talk about Lucy.
Oh.
That's fine.
That's my favorite subject.
I don't quite know how to say this.
Roger.
Except straight out.
50 Lucy and I had a meeting.
She doesn't wanna work with you anymore.
I don't believe that.
Said she'd give up her career if I didn't find another photographer.
You're lying.
You've got a deal and you're trying to cut me out.
That's not true.
Roger.
And you know it.
I discovered her.
I made her.
Without my picture, she has no career.
No one else can photograph her.
What do you mean.
Another photographer for Lucy Cooper? Me.
Blair.
Just me.
Now.
Hold it.
Just calm down.
Take it easy for a minute.
Now.
I warned you not to get involved and possessive with your models.
Well.
You don't understand.
Lucy and I are a team.
Well.
Not anymore.
So you just have to forget about it.
- I can't.
- Sure.
You can.
Look.
I just got a call from Detroit.
They wanna do this big Sunbelt-type layout.
You'd be perfect for it.
Okay.
Blair.
I get the message.
That's good.
Okay.
I'll see you around.
I think I'll have the crab salad.
Please.
- And I'll take the roast beef platter.
- Thank you.
Hey.
Mama.
I'm glad you called.
It's nice to spend a little time alone with you.
Well.
I'm enjoying it too.
J.
R.
I have a funny feeling this is not exactly a social lunch.
Well.
I do have something I wanna talk to you about.
Shoot.
J.
R.
.
what happened between you and Sue Ellen? Everything was going so well.
I even thought there might be a reconciliation.
Yeah.
Well.
So did I.
I'll admit that I was a A little bit suspicious in the beginning.
I was afraid that all you were interested in was John Ross' voting shares.
Yeah.
Not hard to see how you got the wrong impression.
But I've come in to understand that you really do love your son.
Yes.
I do.
And what's more.
I love Sue Ellen.
I just didn't realize it until after the divorce.
Yes.
I I think I believe that.
J.
R.
I went to see Sue Ellen.
I was hoping that she could explain her feelings to me but I can't say that I see things any more clearly.
What's happened to you two? I assume that you told her what you just told me.
Oh.
Yes.
I did.
Everything was just going great.
Then the wind shifted.
I still don't know why.
I think someone told her something that turned her against me.
Do you think it was Cliff Barnes? Is that why you've been taking it out on him? No.
Mama.
Well.
Maybe that trap you set for him with Wally Hampton was a bit of an overreaction.
You heard about that.
Did you? J.
R.
.
you know how I feel about this rivalry.
And Rebecca feels the same way.
We're not happy to see this feud start up again.
Well.
I'm sorry I tricked Barnes and I apologize to you.
But the thought of that man with my Sue Ellen - I see.
- Do you? And I tell you.
It just flat drives me crazy.
- Oh.
Hello.
- Hi.
- Get Dave off on his plane okay? - Oh.
Yep.
Right on time.
He didn't seem to see anything to worry about in your book? Nope.
Not from his standpoint.
Come on over here and sit down.
I wanna talk to you.
I still have a problem.
What Dave and I were talking about.
It It concerns Jock to a lesser degree.
You mean.
You wanna write something bad about Jock? I found something out.
And I should use it.
I just don't know how Miss Ellie's gonna take it.
Well.
Talk to her about it.
Maybe she already knows.
Knowing about it's one thing.
Having it published is another.
Look.
Honey.
You got a problem.
You get it out in the open.
It's the only way to solve anything.
I learned my lesson.
I know it.
It's just not gonna be easy.
That was some meal.
Thank you.
- May I get you dessert? - No.
I wanna talk to you.
Seriously.
- Oh.
Cliff.
- No.
No.
No.
Wait.
I let you get away from me once when I was a fool.
It's not gonna happen again.
Sue Ellen.
I want to marry you.
Cliff.
I'm on the verge of one of the biggest deals of my life.
And I'll be able to support you very well indeed.
- That doesn't matter to me.
- But it does to me.
I'll be able to give you everything that J.
R.
did and more.
Plus.
I'll make you happy in a way he never did.
Cliff.
I'll need some time.
Take all the time you need.
Sue Ellen.
I love you.
I want you.
Remember that.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Hello.
Clayton.
This is Sue Ellen.
Did I catch you at a bad time? Yes.
I'm afraid you have.
But, Clayton, I have to talk to you.
Well.
I'm in a meeting with some very important suppliers.
- But - Look.
We'll talk some other time, okay? Clayton? - How much? - Fifty thousand.
And what is that? My first installment, my down payment? I don't give in to blackmail.
It's a one-time payment.
I don't believe you, Farraday.
I'll give you proof.
For 50.
000 and a one-way ticket to Rio de Janeiro.
Rio.
Why Rio? Look.
Mr.
Ewing.
I'm in trouble.
I gotta get out of the country.
Fast.
- Come on.
- I'll give you documents.
They'll ensure that I'll never be back to bother you.
What kind of documents? I can't tell you now.
But I'll let you read them.
On the spot.
If you're not satisfied.
The deal's off.
You sound awful sure of yourself.
Fifty grand and a one-way ticket to Rio.
It'll be the smartest money you ever spent.
- I don't know.
I gotta think about it.
- We can even meet at my place.
I'll give you proof.
You won't regret it.
All right.
You call me in a couple days.
Don't blow it, Mr.
Ewing.
This is your last chance.
I promise you.
What's a matter there? Hey.
Hey.
Oh.
Come on now.
Christopher.
Son.
I've gotten into a heck of a lot of trouble because of you.
But you're worth it.
I not gonna take a chance on losing you now.
I think Christopher's gonna start talking soon.
Oh.
Pam.
He's a little young for that.
Well.
He's gonna be smart like his daddy.
I'll get it.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Lucy.
Mitch.
Look, I've been doing a lot of thinking since we talked at your photo session.
And we care about each other too much to be angry.
I really do wanna see you.
Let's have lunch today.
I'd love to.
What about that terrific restaurant by the hospital? No.
I took the day off.
Why don't you meet me here at the condo at 12:30.
I'll be there.
- Bye.
- Bye.
That was Mitch.
I'm gonna see him today.
If I have my way.
I won't be home tonight or for several nights.
I'm glad you finally decided to work things out.
You know.
It's funny.
But I believe the whole thing is gonna come together.
Pam.
Help me pick something terrific to wear.
Well.
I sure will.
- Come on.
- Great.
- I'm supposed to meet him at 12:30.
- Well.
Okay.
- '(es.
- J.
R.
, Marilee Stone is here to see you.
Good.
Send her in.
J.
R.
.
I must tell you.
I'm truly shocked.
What's wrong? Not only did Cliff Barnes go for our deal he was greedy enough to insist on coming in at 4.
5 million.
Well.
That's what I call hogging the action.
Where did he get his money? Four million came from Wentworth.
That's even better than I hoped for.
Not only did he embezzle from his mother but he obviously used up most of his own money.
And the best is yet to come.
Wait until he starts to drill.
And drill and drill J.
R.
.
I've got this powerful urge to celebrate.
Right now.
Oh.
Honey.
It's a little early for that kind of celebration.
You wouldn't refuse the woman who pulled this scam off for you.
- Of course not.
Darling.
- Well.
Then take your pick.
Right here or at my house.
Marilee.
You are insatiable.
I can't help it, J.
R.
Crooked deals turn me on like crazy.
Here.
Thank you.
I'm really sorry about the way I acted at the photo session.
I was jealous of Evelyn.
I wanted to make you jealous.
It's okay.
Really.
Look.
Maybe this discussion should wait till after lunch.
I'd rather talk now.
All right.
I've been doing some thinking and I've come to a decision.
So have I.
Honey.
I've decided that I want our marriage to work.
I wanna give it the real chance it never had.
Him' I'm sorry.
Lucy.
That's not what I want.
- What do you mean? - I mean.
I want a divorce.
I think we'd both be better off if we were free.
Free? Free for what.
Evelyn Michaelson? No.
Free for myself.
But I want an honest relationship with Evelyn.
I owe her that.
You owe her? What about me? We never had a chance.
Look.
Our marriage has been dead for ages.
Let's bury it.
I made a reservation at that little restaurant you like.
The one by the university.
- Do we have a few minutes? - Sure we do.
Yeah.
What's wrong? You look troubled.
Yes.
I am.
Well.
What is it? Cliff.
I want to talk to you about Sue Ellen.
Sue Ellen? Ls there a problem there? I'm sorry to pry into your business.
But I have to know.
Are you using her to get back at J.
R.
? No.
No.
I'm not.
I don't know how you could think something like that.
I love Sue Ellen.
And I've asked her to marry me.
And I'm waiting for a response but I'd like your approval.
- May I be honest? - Please.
Say anything you want.
Your relationship with Sue Ellen frightens me.
I don't want to see you and J.
R.
destroy each other because of her.
Wait a minute.
I'm supposed to give up Sue Ellen because I'm afraid of a fight with J.
R.
? This is not a fight I want.
It's not a fight I wanted.
But I'm gonna fight and I'm gonna win.
Hello.
Darling.
You know what.
Pretty lady? If women were oil wells.
You'd be a gusher.
Get lost.
All right.
All right.
I'm going.
I hate blonds.
Every one of them are born plain sour.
Drive.
I'll tell you where.
Drive.
Now! - Yes.
- J.
R.
, Sergeant McSween is here.
Send him right in.
- J.
R.
- Harry.
- Right on time.
- I figured I'd better be.
I have some interesting news.
Here's a copy of baby Christopher's pre-adoption records.
Like you asked.
The baby's natural mother was Kristin Shepard.
- And furthermore, Sue Ellen knows it.
- How do you know that? Well.
She signed this affidavit for your brother.
Bobby to use at the adoption proceedings.
Something that said she had no interest in the child and that she doesn't know who the father was.
Well.
So that's what Bobby and Sue Ellen were talking about.
What's that.
J.
R.
? Nothing.
Harry.
You done me a big favor.
I appreciate it.
I'll be in touch.
Oh.
Bobby.
What you did to me Because of you.
I almost lost John Ross.
Now.
I can turn everything around.
With my 20 shares, 10 from Ray well.
Bobby.
If you wanna keep little Christopher for your very own you're just gonna have to forego your 20 shares.
And with 50 shares nothing and nobody can touch me.
And soon.
My son.
Very soon with your 10 shares I'll have total control of Ewing Oil.
