Dallas s12e10 Episode Script
445010 - The Sting
NARRATOR: Last on Dallas: [GUNFIRE.]
Christopher.
Just remember, Sue Ellen, you're either my friend or my enemy.
Bye.
You're McKay? [GUNSHOT.]
McKAY: I told Bobby Ewing one of the world's greatest sob stories, and he fell for it.
And I'm gonna get Section 40 for us if I have to kill every one of the damn Ewings to do it.
- You lying s - No, I don't wanna fight anymore.
I'll do what you want.
I'll sell you Section 40.
Braddock District Attorney Mark Chase after meeting with Sheriff Billy Joe Burnside has brought the parties together for a meeting.
From what Channel 6 has been able to find it was a throwback to the old range wars in Texas.
The long-established and powerful Ewing family of Southfork and newcomer Carter McKay locked in a deadly battle over water rights.
We understand there has been at least one person killed several wounded and most of the men who work for Mr.
McKay are under arrest.
[CROWD CHATTERING.]
I see the Ewings and Farlows are coming.
We'll try to get a word with them.
REPORTER 1: Can we get a comment? REPORTER 2: What happened in there? Can you tell us what happened? Any comments? REPORTER 3: Mr.
Ewing, how about you? REPORTER 4: Mr.
Ewing? REPORTER 3: Please, just anything at all.
REPORTER 2: Any comments? REPORTER 1: Just a minute.
REPORTER 1: Mr.
McKay REPORTER 2: Mr.
McKay, any comments? - The matter has been settled.
REPORTER 3: And what does that mean? It means it's over.
REPORTER 2: Mr.
District Attorney, can you shed any light on this for us? MAN [ON TV.]
: Sure.
Burnside did a very thorough investigation of the entire matter.
Several people are under arrest.
The shooting of Fred Hughes appeared to be in self-defense.
REPORTER: Mr.
McKay said the matter had been settled.
Settled how? Apparently, the dispute was over some land belonging to Southfork that joined the McKay property.
Mr.
And Mrs.
Farlow, the owners of Southfork have agreed to sell that land to Mr.
McKay.
We're satisfied that that will put an end to the violence.
No further charges will be filed.
[CAR APPRO ACHING.]
Well, congratulations, Mac.
You really did it.
I told you I would.
Come on in.
So how soon do we close? It's gonna cost a fortune to buy that section.
How cash fluid is Westar? Westar is not buying it.
I am.
I'm impressed.
You have that kind of money? I will have, in a few days.
I'm gonna sell most of my Westar stock.
Makes you kind of vulnerable, doesn't it? It's not really your concern, Mac.
I told J.
R.
I'd make him pay.
He's not gonna be able to show his face in Dallas when the word gets out I own Section 40.
Before you get your hands on it, there's something that we have to finish.
What's that? My son.
He's still in prison down there and nothing gets done until he's free.
I told you I could get him out.
Well then, you do that.
And fast.
It could take a little time.
He's running out of time and so are you.
I'm gonna give you three days to get this done.
When I get a phone call from him that he's free and back in the States l'll close the deal.
Otherwise, it's goodbye Section 40.
Don't like being blackmailed.
Neither do I, and you've been holding him over my head for a very long time.
Now I've got something you want.
Three days.
That's it.
Three days.
Stay out of my way after that.
You think there's anything you could do to me I already haven't done to myself? Get the hell out of here.
Is John Ross all right? Why shouldn't he be? I saw the news and there's been a war out here.
My son has been in the middle of it.
How dare you bring him out here.
Well, when I picked the boys up, I did make a slight miscalculation.
John Ross is fine now.
And any danger he might have been in, it's over.
That's what you said before.
- That's true.
And you wanna know why? - He said they were selling part of Southfork.
And you wanna know what part of Southfork? Section 40.
Hell, there's more oil in there than the Permian basin.
Section 40? Ha, ha, no wonder you're so upset.
You thought that you were gonna be able to drill there.
Oh, no, I did not.
I always respect the wishes of Granddaddy at Southfork.
And now some damn outsider's gonna get it.
You have truly made my day, J.
R.
I love to see you unhappy.
Well, wonderful.
So get the hell off Southfork, and I'll give your son your regards when he gets home.
You do just that.
And tell him that I'll see him real soon.
And give Jeremy Wendell my very best.
And what is that supposed to mean? It means I understand that you are thicker than thieves.
And you bought that crummy marina I turned down.
And we're gonna make a fortune on it.
Well, good luck, honey.
As a matter of fact, you and Jeremy go very well together.
Considering what Jeremy did to you last year, I take that as a compliment.
I think I more than evened things when I let him have you.
At least, with Jeremy l'm with someone truly important in the oil business.
Not just a figurehead.
Well, with you by his side, he's bound to fail.
We'll see who fails.
And don't bother inviting me to your wedding.
[COWS MOOING.]
RAY: Remember when I first came out here? I thought this place was bigger than the whole state of Kansas.
BOBBY: Well, I know it must have been kind of scary for you.
You couldn't even ride a horse then.
RAY: Yeah, that's true enough.
I never thought I'd be leaving here for good.
Don't make it sound so final, Ray.
Well, I really didn't mean it that way.
I'll come back one of these days.
I'll bring Lucas.
Jenna and Charlie too.
I don't think so, Bob.
Jenna likes it in Europe.
We're building our own life there.
Ray, it's just not the same here anymore with you going off to Europe and Gary out in California.
Daddy's gone.
Sue Ellen and Pam It's altogether different.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm leaving here at the right time.
It'll always be the same in my memory.
I'm gonna miss you, Ray.
In a lot of ways, I'm closer to you than I ever was to J.
R.
And Gary.
You're the best friend I ever had, Bob.
And the best brother.
You wanna go on back? No, I think I'll stay out here for a while.
You take your time.
Lucy, I have really missed you.
Oh, it hadn't been that long.
It sure seems long to me.
Come on, I got a table reserved.
I'm sorry, I don't have time for lunch.
- Well, why not? - Haven't you read the news? We practically had a war break out at Southfork.
I've been so busy I hadn't even had time to read a newspaper much less than the TV.
Busy at what? Stalling that fellow with the oil leases, waiting to hear from you.
Well, here I am.
And I've got good news for you.
I've decided to invest the million dollars.
Oh, Lucy.
I don't know what I did to deserve you but you are gonna get it back and more as a wedding present.
I can't wait.
Anyway, I'll meet you at the bank tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 and I'll have your check.
All right.
But where are you rushing off to? Thought we might spend the rest of the day together.
I really wish we could, but I've gotta get back to Southfork.
Let me go on out there with you.
Sure would like to meet the rest of the family.
Soon.
It's just that everything is so upside down out there.
It's really not a good time.
I'll see you tomorrow.
BOBBY: Sky, walk him out for me, okay? Tracey.
What are you doing here? I had to see you.
Here I am.
I don't blame you for not calling me after what my father did.
I just wanted you to know that I had no idea what he was up to.
I know, he told me.
He did? He told me not to blame you, and I don't.
I've been very busy here, that's the reason I haven't called you.
But after what he did to you, how can you even look at me? Come here.
I'm gonna put you right up there.
Come on.
Whoa! Now, there's something that I didn't tell you about Pam.
Her daddy was a character named Digger Barnes.
And he and my daddy were sworn enemies most of their natural lives.
I thought both our families would disinherit us when we got married.
That's how famous the Barnes-Ewing feud was all over Texas for a long time.
And now Cliff Barnes is my partner in Ewing Oil.
And some people find that hard to believe, but it's true.
So, what I'm trying to tell you is that, uh any problem that you and I might have with your father or any relationship that you and I might have together are entirely separate things.
It's up to us.
So if you'd like to keep that relationship going, so would I.
You know what's wrong with you? What? Nothing.
[DOOR OPENS.]
J.
R: Ladies.
- J.
R.
, is everything all right at Southfork? - Yeah, it's pretty calm out there.
Well, is it true you're gonna sell part of it? Well, that's the way Mama wants it.
At least the shooting's over.
So you know, life goes on.
Any messages? SLY: Yeah.
Several people called after that newscast.
Yeah, I bet they did.
WOMAN: Excuse me, sir.
Can I help you? Long time no see, Mr.
Ewing.
I think we ought to talk.
All right, come on in.
Hold my calls, Sly.
Well, you are as rich as you said you were.
What are you doing here? To start extradition? You see, I got some good legal advice, and that kangaroo court I was tried at won't hold up in the real world.
- Real world.
Real world, is that what this is? You don't have any jurisdiction here.
So if you try anything funny l'll have you arrested.
Why, you best shut your face.
First off, I'm willing to bet that nobody here knows what kind of trouble you were in.
Now, you try something with me and they're gonna know real soon.
What do you want? You ought to be thankful it's me standing here and not Japhet and Boaz.
I don't care about the law.
I hate it more than you do.
Did you come here to give me a sermon? I'm here to give you a warning.
As far as I'm concerned, legal trial or not you broke the law.
You're also an escaped felon.
Now, you even dream about stepping in to Haleyville or any place in the state for that matter l'm gonna have you behind bars so fast you won't even know what year it is.
And you won't escape this time.
Well, you can rest assured I'll never go near that stink hole again.
You didn't even ask about Cally, did you? Oh, I bet she's just fine.
She likes it out there at the farm.
She probably forgot what I look like by now.
I sure hope so.
Because the way I see it, she's the real victim of this whole thing.
She fell in love with you.
Anyway, she's gonna be a whole lot better off without somebody like you in her life.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
I suppose I hurt her some, didn't I? Listen, when you get back there, give her this, would you? That ought to cheer her up some.
You're even worse than I thought you were.
You remember what I told you.
If I ever see you again you belong to me.
[DOOR SLAMS.]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Come in.
- You wanna leave? - No.
I just wondered if you were all right.
I'm fine.
I don't mean to intrude, but you seem so down.
Is there anything that I can do? Kelly, you've done it just by asking.
You run along and have a good evening.
Are you sure? I'm sure.
Good night, then.
Good night.
Sue Ellen? We're gonna have to go out and celebrate.
Jeremy, what are you doing here? I have wonderful news I wanted to share with you.
SUE ELLEN: Have you forgotten our last conversation? I have to ask you to forgive me for what I said.
I was very upset.
I lost control of myself.
I apologize.
But I meant what I said.
I don't want my revenge your way.
That's just what I wanna share with you.
I've taken care of that for both of us.
J.
R.
Is never going to recover from what I've done.
What is that? You'll know soon enough.
Besides, I think I pushed our business relationship too far.
It's gotten in the way of what I really want.
Jeremy, what are you talking about? This.
I'd like to give you this as token of my affection.
Your affection? I'm very taken with you, Sue Ellen.
I would hope that one day in the future, you'd consider becoming my wife.
You wanna marry me? Well, not immediately.
Perhaps, one day.
It might almost be worth it just to send J.
R.
An invitation.
Does that mean you will? No, it doesn't.
Let me make my position perfectly clear, Jeremy.
I don't like you.
You make my skin crawl when you touch me.
I would rather sleep with J.
R.
Than sleep with you.
And I'd rather sleep with a carnival geek than sleep with J.
R.
Does that give you any idea as to where you rank in my affections? And don't bother telling me that I'll regret this.
Because as bad as my life is right now, it can only improve with you out of it.
[DOOR OPENS.]
[DOOR SHUTS.]
Give my love to the children.
RAY: I will, Miss Ellie.
This isn't goodbye, you know, it's just for a while.
Yes, ma'am.
I couldn't bear it otherwise.
Me either, Miss Ellie.
Ray.
Now that this is all over who knows, maybe Ellie and I will come over and visit you.
I'd like that a lot, Clayton.
Yeah.
Well, Ray Things haven't always been perfect between us, Ray but right now I will remember the good times.
We had a few of those.
J.
R: Yeah, we did.
You take care of yourself.
You too, buddy.
I'll keep sending you pictures of Lucas.
No, the whole family.
Sure.
Bye.
There's a part of me that's never gonna leave here.
- Hello.
- April.
What are you doing here? What kind of question is that? I was with Mr.
Denner to see if you put your money in the account, which you haven't.
- Well, I'm here to do just that.
- Well, good.
Well, it might take me a few minutes.
There's a terrific restaurant right around the corner.
Why don't you go over, I'll meet you as soon as I'm through.
I don't mind waiting.
LUC Y: Casey.
Oh, I'm sorry I'm late.
- I've got your check for a million dollars.
- This is your messenger from Oklahoma? - Who's she? - I'm his partner.
- So am I.
- What? Listen, I can explain all of this.
Well, you'd better.
Why didn't you tell me your partner looked like this? How come she knew about me and I didn't know about her? It's not just about money.
- Lucy and I are engaged to be married.
- We're what? She's lending me the money until I can get mine in from Oklahoma.
- Good to the last drop, aren't you? - What are you talking about? I'm talking about the last drop of oil that came out of that fabulous gusher of yours.
It went dry.
All you really wanted was Southfork, not me.
You're nothing but a con man.
You always were, you always will be.
That's not true.
I did hit and I do know the oil business.
By the time I found out the well had dried, we were already in business.
What was I supposed to do, pull out in the middle of things? You might have tried being honest with me.
I would have listened.
No, you wouldn't.
Nobody listens to you when you're broke.
Look, I hit oil before.
- I can do it again.
- Not with our money you won't.
You've done enough damage, Casey.
Go on back where you came from.
We could've made it, Lucy.
We really could have.
Well, I'm not beat, you know? I'll see you around.
You know what makes a good con man? You wanna believe what he says even when you know it's a lie.
And he was awfully good.
Well, now there's the matter of the $300,000 I invested into Denault Inc.
Come on.
Let's go see Mr.
Denner.
And I'm sure he'll get that back right now.
[PHONE RINGING.]
McKay.
Tommy? Tommy? Is that you, Tommy? Where are you? What has? Are you all right, son? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I've seen Tracey.
She's right here in In Dallas.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll tell her I'll tell her what you said.
Well, yeah.
You just stay in that hospital and you fatten yourself up.
I'm I'll send you some money and I'll be along to see you just as soon as I can.
Well, uh, I'm only sorry I couldn't have gotten you out sooner.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, good night, son.
Uh Tommy? I love you, son.
APRIL: J.
R.
- Well, April, what an unexpected surprise.
- What are you doing here, honey? - I was on my way to see you.
You mean, you're gonna brave the wrath of my brother and actually show up at the Ewing Oil offices? You know what Bobby can do with his wrath.
Yes, I suggested that to him on occasion.
No, I came by to tell you about Casey Denault.
Oh, honey, you can put the life story of that boy on the back of a postcard.
[APRIL LAUGHS.]
You were right about him.
His well is dry and so is his bank account.
Really? Well, it couldn't happen to a nicer hustler.
I'm disappointed.
I was very excited about going into the oil business.
- Well, you can still do that.
- I don't think so.
I mean, I may have the money to back it, but I don't know the first thing about oil.
I do.
So, what good is that gonna do me? I wanna introduce you to your new silent partner.
You and me together in the oil business? April, I'll match your investment dollar for dollar.
Tell you what to buy, what to sell, when to drill, when not to.
You are gonna own the hottest new oil company in the state of Texas.
What about Ewing Oil? Well, I thought you knew.
The condition Bobby made when he took me back was that I was not to deal in oil at Ewing Oil.
I heard rumors but how's he gonna feel about us becoming partners? Well, I don't think we have to tell him about that, do we? Until he starts to strangle on the fiercest competition Ewing Oil has ever had and lets me run the company again.
The funny thing is that old Jock never really did double-cross my daddy.
And yet the Barnes family and the Ewings have been feuding for years? Oh, yeah.
And you said that Bobby ignored that when he married Pam? You wanna walk for a little while? - Sure.
- I'd like that.
Suppose we could do that without talking about Bobby? - I've been doing that, haven't I? - A lot.
I'm sorry.
Tell me about your wife.
Jamie? Well, I don't think you wanna hear about Jamie.
Why? I know she died.
Is it too painful? Yeah, it's painful.
You must have loved her very much.
No, I didn't love her at all.
Surprise you? A little.
She was a Ewing.
Well, she was a cousin.
And by some fluke she wound up with a piece of Ewing Oil.
And that's why I married her.
And the Ewings lost Ewing Oil and I lost the piece that I had inherited from Jamie.
So I really hurt her for nothing.
Is that why she died? Because of you? No.
I don't know.
I wasn't even there.
- Tammy, come on, I'll take you home.
- Cliff.
We've all done things that we've been ashamed of.
There's gotta be something wrong with me because I have never even felt ashamed until now.
I've never even told anybody about Jamie.
About the way I felt.
I don't know why I'm doing it now.
Then why me? I don't know.
Maybe I feel safe with you.
[INTERCOM BUZZES.]
Yep? PHYLLIS [O VER INTERCOM.]
: Bobby, Mr.
Smithfield is here.
Send him in.
Thank you, Phyllis.
- Hello, Bobby.
- Harv.
- Thanks for coming over.
- Not at all.
I have all the documents for those Southfork parcels.
Good.
I just heard from Carter McKay's attorney.
They have the money and they're ready to close the deal.
- When? - This evening.
Good.
Sit down, Harv.
Thank you.
- You sure you know what you're doing? - Yes, Harv, I know what I'm doing.
I don't like it.
I know that.
But we don't have a choice.
Okay.
Get the family together and we'll meet at McKay's bank.
No.
We're talking about selling off part of Southfork.
I don't want Mama to do that in some strange bank.
We'll take care of it right here at Ewing Oil in the boardroom.
I'm not sure they'll come here.
Harv, call him.
Mama's having a hard enough time with this as it is.
Okay.
Phyllis, get me Carter McKay, please.
- Mama, can I get you anything? - No, I'm fine.
Thank you, Bobby.
- What's keeping McKay anyhow? - J.
R.
, he said he was gonna be late.
He's waiting for his moneyman to get here.
[DOOR OPENS.]
It's about time you got here.
I'm not that late.
I have the bank draft, you'll get it as soon as the papers are signed.
There you go.
Now I'd like to introduce you to my investor.
My sole investor.
Wendell.
What are you doing here? Well, you've been doing business with me, J.
R.
That's why I'm here.
- McKay has been working for you? - Yes.
- You tried to kill my son.
- Bobby.
I'm not interested in that.
I'm only interested in getting Section 40.
So it looks like my revenge is complete, J.
R.
You started the ranch war? You brought in all those hired killers? Yes.
You're behind all the, uh, damage? The shooting at the barn and trying to kill Bobby and Ray? Yes, of course.
I told Hughes to kill anyone who stood in my way.
Actually I'm happy none of you were hurt, it makes it all the sweeter doing this in front of you.
Wendell, you are the scum of the earth.
[CHUCKLES.]
Have you got the papers? Right here.
What's going on? This is not Section 40.
You bought some worthless piece of range land.
Well so I did.
You knew.
Mr.
Wendell, I'm Detective Caraway, Dallas P.
D.
I'm placing you under arrest.
- No, you can't do that.
- Well, of course I can.
We've got enough on tape to convict you on a dozen charges.
I'd like to read you your rights.
"You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him present while being questioned.
If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer one will be appointed to you before any questioning if you wish.
You can decide at any time to exercise these rights or not answer any question or make any statements.
" Wendell, I told you once if my brother didn't get you, I would.
Well, it looks like we both did.
McKAY: Well, I think we should get there in a little while, I'll tell you, boys.
- I'll be Uncle Bobby, you be Uncle Ray.
J.
R: Hey, ha, ha, what's going on here? [BO YS SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY.]
Okay, okay, okay.
Now, that's enough.
You almost hurt Mr.
McKay.
No harm done, Miss Ellie.
Well, I think you should take your roughhousing upstairs.
JOHN ROSS: Yes, grandma.
J.
R: It's gonna take them some while to settle down, Mama.
- And it's gonna take me a while.
- Well, me too.
Harv Smithfield wasn't happy about being kept in the dark, I'll tell you that.
- Well, I hope someone calmed him down.
CLAYTON: He's all right.
He realizes the setup wouldn't have worked any other way.
Well, I'm just glad it's over.
And I'm not proud of what I did to this family.
- Hi.
I hope we're not too late.
ELLIE: Of course not.
We've been waiting.
Mama, this is a special friend of mine, Tracey Lawton.
My mama, Miss Ellie.
- I'm delighted.
- Me too, Mrs.
Farlow.
And my stepfather, Clayton Farlow.
I didn't know you'd be here.
- You set this up, didn't you? - Yes, I did.
- Well, I'm not staying.
- Tracey, talk to him.
I'm sorry, Mac.
What the hell was that all about? Mac is her father.
McKAY: Tracey.
- Tracey.
- Leave me alone.
Please don't run.
- There's something I have to tell you.
- It's nothing I wanna hear.
I heard from Tommy.
You have? He's been in prison in South America.
Oh, my God.
No, no, it's okay.
He's back in the States and he's free.
How did he know where to reach you? Well, that's what I wanted to tell you.
The reason I did what I did to the Ewings was so that I could get Tommy free.
That was a condition in the deal.
Also I was told that I'd find you.
So you did one noble thing in your life.
Is that supposed to make up for all those years you were an animal? Someday, Tracey if and when we ever become father and daughter again l'd sure like to tell you a lot about your early years.
And about your mother and about me.
You're a hard man to like.
So I've been told.
But for now, since we're both in Dallas and maybe if we both try real hard we could become a family again.
We could try I guess.
It's all I want.
I love this place, Tracey.
You know, there was a time when I thought of pulling up stakes and getting a fresh start somewhere else.
Not anymore.
Well, I can understand that.
It's beautiful.
So how did it go last night with you and Mac? We had a good talk.
- Patch things up? - We made a start.
So now you have no reason to leave Dallas, huh? Well, I put that on hold.
It's just all so new to me, the feeling that I have for him.
- I don't know how to deal with it yet.
- He's an honorable man, Tracey.
He helped us put away Jeremy Wendell and that counts a lot in my book.
Well, what counts in my book is after all these years, if I'm really able to trust him.
If you stay in town, you'll find out.
And we can find out if you and I have something.
You want a pool hustler for a girlfriend? Well, I was kind of hoping you'd give up pool hustling and get yourself a real job.
You want me to give up one of the two things I'm really good at? I sure don't want you to give up the other one.
That's not what I meant.
I happen to be one of the great horseback riders in history.
Is that a fact? If you'd like to put up a little wager, I'd show you now.
- You're way out of your league with me.
- A hundred says I'm not.
You're on.
TRACEY: Hyah! [DOORBELL RINGS.]
Hello, Mac.
Kimberly Styles.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
Cryder.
Kimberly Cryder.
Oh Oh, of course.
It's been a long time.
Well, come in.
Come in.
I wasn't sure if you'd remember me.
How could I forget? - Please come in.
Sit down, um - Thank you.
Can I get you something to eat? No, thank you, but, um But I'll have a glass of what you're drinking.
I can remember when you only drank champagne.
Yes, well, a lot has changed since then.
Yes, I know.
I heard about your father and I'm I'm sorry.
I always liked him.
You know, Daddy always felt that you should've been running Westar, not Wendell.
I never wanted the job.
I liked what I was doing.
Always traveling.
The Middle East, South America, Africa.
Everywhere, right? - Well, that's what I did for a living.
- Hm.
Now, tell me something did you come here just to talk about the old days? No.
Not really.
Did you know that Wendell sold most of his own stock so he could buy that land from the Ewings? Uh-huh, I knew.
I bought that stock.
I now have controlling interest.
Wow.
Does that mean you're going to run the company now? I don't know.
It's something I have to think about.
J.
R: Well, guys, I don't know.
I've tried to figure it out but I couldn't.
[LAUGHING.]
Mr.
Ewing, there's a Mrs.
Ewing here to see you.
- What the devil is Sue Ellen doing here? TERESA: It's not that Mrs.
Ewing.
Well, what are you talking about? Everything you ever said to me was lies.
- What the hell are you doing here? - You just left me there and ran.
But we was married.
What? You don't think that little charade we went through was a real marriage, do you? Well, that's what this paper says and that's what the state says and that's what I say.
You're the waitress from Haleyville.
I'm Mrs.
J.
R.
Ewing.
Look at this if you have the need to.
Bobby, it was all a joke.
L I only married her to keep her brothers from killing me.
Is that what you really done? You told me that you loved me.
And you wanted to bring me here to Dallas to marry and to live with you.
Is that true, J.
R? Well, in a In a kind of vague sense, I suppose it was.
Well, it may not have meant much to you but I loved you.
And I married you because I wanted to live with you and have your kids.
And by damn, married we are.
I was still married when I was forced to marry you.
Now, that's coercion.
And And that marriage certificate is not worth the paper it's printed on, believe me.
J.
R.
, just a second.
Now, I'm looking at the date here and Sue Ellen had divorced you just before this so you were a free man.
So I guess we are married after all.
Yeah, you'll need plenty help proving that in this part of country.
J.
R.
, did you marry this girl? Well, I suppose I did but I, ha, ha Then you own up to it and do the right thing.
Mama, look at her.
You think she's gonna fit in in Dallas? What's so all-fired wonderful about Dallas? You think I couldn't dress and walk and talk as good as anyone you know? You just watch me.
Well, I think maybe you could.
And I also think maybe you married beneath yourself.
CALLY: Maybe so.
But I'm gonna make him a proper wife.
And he's gonna make me a proper husband.
Are you hungry, child? Name's Cally.
Calpurnia really, and yes, ma'am, I'm right hungry.
Then sit down and join us.
No, Cally.
The perfect seat for you.
Right here.
There you go.
And welcome to Southfork.
I think I'm really gonna like it here.
NARRATOR: Next on Dallas: APRIL: Who's that with your mother? - Oh, my God.
McKay, you two trying to kill each other? - I gotta talk to you.
- Hello, Tammy.
- Hello, Bobby.
- Yeah, I forgot you two know each other.
SUE ELLEN: I don't think I've met your guest.
- This is Cally.
- J.
R.
's new wife.
- His new what? He said you're a hopeless drunk, that you cheated on him all the time.
I see we have two more members of the Bobby Ewing fan club.
Bobby's foul-mouthed friend from the restaurant.
SUE ELLEN: J.
R.
Sue Ellen.
Christopher.
Just remember, Sue Ellen, you're either my friend or my enemy.
Bye.
You're McKay? [GUNSHOT.]
McKAY: I told Bobby Ewing one of the world's greatest sob stories, and he fell for it.
And I'm gonna get Section 40 for us if I have to kill every one of the damn Ewings to do it.
- You lying s - No, I don't wanna fight anymore.
I'll do what you want.
I'll sell you Section 40.
Braddock District Attorney Mark Chase after meeting with Sheriff Billy Joe Burnside has brought the parties together for a meeting.
From what Channel 6 has been able to find it was a throwback to the old range wars in Texas.
The long-established and powerful Ewing family of Southfork and newcomer Carter McKay locked in a deadly battle over water rights.
We understand there has been at least one person killed several wounded and most of the men who work for Mr.
McKay are under arrest.
[CROWD CHATTERING.]
I see the Ewings and Farlows are coming.
We'll try to get a word with them.
REPORTER 1: Can we get a comment? REPORTER 2: What happened in there? Can you tell us what happened? Any comments? REPORTER 3: Mr.
Ewing, how about you? REPORTER 4: Mr.
Ewing? REPORTER 3: Please, just anything at all.
REPORTER 2: Any comments? REPORTER 1: Just a minute.
REPORTER 1: Mr.
McKay REPORTER 2: Mr.
McKay, any comments? - The matter has been settled.
REPORTER 3: And what does that mean? It means it's over.
REPORTER 2: Mr.
District Attorney, can you shed any light on this for us? MAN [ON TV.]
: Sure.
Burnside did a very thorough investigation of the entire matter.
Several people are under arrest.
The shooting of Fred Hughes appeared to be in self-defense.
REPORTER: Mr.
McKay said the matter had been settled.
Settled how? Apparently, the dispute was over some land belonging to Southfork that joined the McKay property.
Mr.
And Mrs.
Farlow, the owners of Southfork have agreed to sell that land to Mr.
McKay.
We're satisfied that that will put an end to the violence.
No further charges will be filed.
[CAR APPRO ACHING.]
Well, congratulations, Mac.
You really did it.
I told you I would.
Come on in.
So how soon do we close? It's gonna cost a fortune to buy that section.
How cash fluid is Westar? Westar is not buying it.
I am.
I'm impressed.
You have that kind of money? I will have, in a few days.
I'm gonna sell most of my Westar stock.
Makes you kind of vulnerable, doesn't it? It's not really your concern, Mac.
I told J.
R.
I'd make him pay.
He's not gonna be able to show his face in Dallas when the word gets out I own Section 40.
Before you get your hands on it, there's something that we have to finish.
What's that? My son.
He's still in prison down there and nothing gets done until he's free.
I told you I could get him out.
Well then, you do that.
And fast.
It could take a little time.
He's running out of time and so are you.
I'm gonna give you three days to get this done.
When I get a phone call from him that he's free and back in the States l'll close the deal.
Otherwise, it's goodbye Section 40.
Don't like being blackmailed.
Neither do I, and you've been holding him over my head for a very long time.
Now I've got something you want.
Three days.
That's it.
Three days.
Stay out of my way after that.
You think there's anything you could do to me I already haven't done to myself? Get the hell out of here.
Is John Ross all right? Why shouldn't he be? I saw the news and there's been a war out here.
My son has been in the middle of it.
How dare you bring him out here.
Well, when I picked the boys up, I did make a slight miscalculation.
John Ross is fine now.
And any danger he might have been in, it's over.
That's what you said before.
- That's true.
And you wanna know why? - He said they were selling part of Southfork.
And you wanna know what part of Southfork? Section 40.
Hell, there's more oil in there than the Permian basin.
Section 40? Ha, ha, no wonder you're so upset.
You thought that you were gonna be able to drill there.
Oh, no, I did not.
I always respect the wishes of Granddaddy at Southfork.
And now some damn outsider's gonna get it.
You have truly made my day, J.
R.
I love to see you unhappy.
Well, wonderful.
So get the hell off Southfork, and I'll give your son your regards when he gets home.
You do just that.
And tell him that I'll see him real soon.
And give Jeremy Wendell my very best.
And what is that supposed to mean? It means I understand that you are thicker than thieves.
And you bought that crummy marina I turned down.
And we're gonna make a fortune on it.
Well, good luck, honey.
As a matter of fact, you and Jeremy go very well together.
Considering what Jeremy did to you last year, I take that as a compliment.
I think I more than evened things when I let him have you.
At least, with Jeremy l'm with someone truly important in the oil business.
Not just a figurehead.
Well, with you by his side, he's bound to fail.
We'll see who fails.
And don't bother inviting me to your wedding.
[COWS MOOING.]
RAY: Remember when I first came out here? I thought this place was bigger than the whole state of Kansas.
BOBBY: Well, I know it must have been kind of scary for you.
You couldn't even ride a horse then.
RAY: Yeah, that's true enough.
I never thought I'd be leaving here for good.
Don't make it sound so final, Ray.
Well, I really didn't mean it that way.
I'll come back one of these days.
I'll bring Lucas.
Jenna and Charlie too.
I don't think so, Bob.
Jenna likes it in Europe.
We're building our own life there.
Ray, it's just not the same here anymore with you going off to Europe and Gary out in California.
Daddy's gone.
Sue Ellen and Pam It's altogether different.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm leaving here at the right time.
It'll always be the same in my memory.
I'm gonna miss you, Ray.
In a lot of ways, I'm closer to you than I ever was to J.
R.
And Gary.
You're the best friend I ever had, Bob.
And the best brother.
You wanna go on back? No, I think I'll stay out here for a while.
You take your time.
Lucy, I have really missed you.
Oh, it hadn't been that long.
It sure seems long to me.
Come on, I got a table reserved.
I'm sorry, I don't have time for lunch.
- Well, why not? - Haven't you read the news? We practically had a war break out at Southfork.
I've been so busy I hadn't even had time to read a newspaper much less than the TV.
Busy at what? Stalling that fellow with the oil leases, waiting to hear from you.
Well, here I am.
And I've got good news for you.
I've decided to invest the million dollars.
Oh, Lucy.
I don't know what I did to deserve you but you are gonna get it back and more as a wedding present.
I can't wait.
Anyway, I'll meet you at the bank tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 and I'll have your check.
All right.
But where are you rushing off to? Thought we might spend the rest of the day together.
I really wish we could, but I've gotta get back to Southfork.
Let me go on out there with you.
Sure would like to meet the rest of the family.
Soon.
It's just that everything is so upside down out there.
It's really not a good time.
I'll see you tomorrow.
BOBBY: Sky, walk him out for me, okay? Tracey.
What are you doing here? I had to see you.
Here I am.
I don't blame you for not calling me after what my father did.
I just wanted you to know that I had no idea what he was up to.
I know, he told me.
He did? He told me not to blame you, and I don't.
I've been very busy here, that's the reason I haven't called you.
But after what he did to you, how can you even look at me? Come here.
I'm gonna put you right up there.
Come on.
Whoa! Now, there's something that I didn't tell you about Pam.
Her daddy was a character named Digger Barnes.
And he and my daddy were sworn enemies most of their natural lives.
I thought both our families would disinherit us when we got married.
That's how famous the Barnes-Ewing feud was all over Texas for a long time.
And now Cliff Barnes is my partner in Ewing Oil.
And some people find that hard to believe, but it's true.
So, what I'm trying to tell you is that, uh any problem that you and I might have with your father or any relationship that you and I might have together are entirely separate things.
It's up to us.
So if you'd like to keep that relationship going, so would I.
You know what's wrong with you? What? Nothing.
[DOOR OPENS.]
J.
R: Ladies.
- J.
R.
, is everything all right at Southfork? - Yeah, it's pretty calm out there.
Well, is it true you're gonna sell part of it? Well, that's the way Mama wants it.
At least the shooting's over.
So you know, life goes on.
Any messages? SLY: Yeah.
Several people called after that newscast.
Yeah, I bet they did.
WOMAN: Excuse me, sir.
Can I help you? Long time no see, Mr.
Ewing.
I think we ought to talk.
All right, come on in.
Hold my calls, Sly.
Well, you are as rich as you said you were.
What are you doing here? To start extradition? You see, I got some good legal advice, and that kangaroo court I was tried at won't hold up in the real world.
- Real world.
Real world, is that what this is? You don't have any jurisdiction here.
So if you try anything funny l'll have you arrested.
Why, you best shut your face.
First off, I'm willing to bet that nobody here knows what kind of trouble you were in.
Now, you try something with me and they're gonna know real soon.
What do you want? You ought to be thankful it's me standing here and not Japhet and Boaz.
I don't care about the law.
I hate it more than you do.
Did you come here to give me a sermon? I'm here to give you a warning.
As far as I'm concerned, legal trial or not you broke the law.
You're also an escaped felon.
Now, you even dream about stepping in to Haleyville or any place in the state for that matter l'm gonna have you behind bars so fast you won't even know what year it is.
And you won't escape this time.
Well, you can rest assured I'll never go near that stink hole again.
You didn't even ask about Cally, did you? Oh, I bet she's just fine.
She likes it out there at the farm.
She probably forgot what I look like by now.
I sure hope so.
Because the way I see it, she's the real victim of this whole thing.
She fell in love with you.
Anyway, she's gonna be a whole lot better off without somebody like you in her life.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
I suppose I hurt her some, didn't I? Listen, when you get back there, give her this, would you? That ought to cheer her up some.
You're even worse than I thought you were.
You remember what I told you.
If I ever see you again you belong to me.
[DOOR SLAMS.]
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Come in.
- You wanna leave? - No.
I just wondered if you were all right.
I'm fine.
I don't mean to intrude, but you seem so down.
Is there anything that I can do? Kelly, you've done it just by asking.
You run along and have a good evening.
Are you sure? I'm sure.
Good night, then.
Good night.
Sue Ellen? We're gonna have to go out and celebrate.
Jeremy, what are you doing here? I have wonderful news I wanted to share with you.
SUE ELLEN: Have you forgotten our last conversation? I have to ask you to forgive me for what I said.
I was very upset.
I lost control of myself.
I apologize.
But I meant what I said.
I don't want my revenge your way.
That's just what I wanna share with you.
I've taken care of that for both of us.
J.
R.
Is never going to recover from what I've done.
What is that? You'll know soon enough.
Besides, I think I pushed our business relationship too far.
It's gotten in the way of what I really want.
Jeremy, what are you talking about? This.
I'd like to give you this as token of my affection.
Your affection? I'm very taken with you, Sue Ellen.
I would hope that one day in the future, you'd consider becoming my wife.
You wanna marry me? Well, not immediately.
Perhaps, one day.
It might almost be worth it just to send J.
R.
An invitation.
Does that mean you will? No, it doesn't.
Let me make my position perfectly clear, Jeremy.
I don't like you.
You make my skin crawl when you touch me.
I would rather sleep with J.
R.
Than sleep with you.
And I'd rather sleep with a carnival geek than sleep with J.
R.
Does that give you any idea as to where you rank in my affections? And don't bother telling me that I'll regret this.
Because as bad as my life is right now, it can only improve with you out of it.
[DOOR OPENS.]
[DOOR SHUTS.]
Give my love to the children.
RAY: I will, Miss Ellie.
This isn't goodbye, you know, it's just for a while.
Yes, ma'am.
I couldn't bear it otherwise.
Me either, Miss Ellie.
Ray.
Now that this is all over who knows, maybe Ellie and I will come over and visit you.
I'd like that a lot, Clayton.
Yeah.
Well, Ray Things haven't always been perfect between us, Ray but right now I will remember the good times.
We had a few of those.
J.
R: Yeah, we did.
You take care of yourself.
You too, buddy.
I'll keep sending you pictures of Lucas.
No, the whole family.
Sure.
Bye.
There's a part of me that's never gonna leave here.
- Hello.
- April.
What are you doing here? What kind of question is that? I was with Mr.
Denner to see if you put your money in the account, which you haven't.
- Well, I'm here to do just that.
- Well, good.
Well, it might take me a few minutes.
There's a terrific restaurant right around the corner.
Why don't you go over, I'll meet you as soon as I'm through.
I don't mind waiting.
LUC Y: Casey.
Oh, I'm sorry I'm late.
- I've got your check for a million dollars.
- This is your messenger from Oklahoma? - Who's she? - I'm his partner.
- So am I.
- What? Listen, I can explain all of this.
Well, you'd better.
Why didn't you tell me your partner looked like this? How come she knew about me and I didn't know about her? It's not just about money.
- Lucy and I are engaged to be married.
- We're what? She's lending me the money until I can get mine in from Oklahoma.
- Good to the last drop, aren't you? - What are you talking about? I'm talking about the last drop of oil that came out of that fabulous gusher of yours.
It went dry.
All you really wanted was Southfork, not me.
You're nothing but a con man.
You always were, you always will be.
That's not true.
I did hit and I do know the oil business.
By the time I found out the well had dried, we were already in business.
What was I supposed to do, pull out in the middle of things? You might have tried being honest with me.
I would have listened.
No, you wouldn't.
Nobody listens to you when you're broke.
Look, I hit oil before.
- I can do it again.
- Not with our money you won't.
You've done enough damage, Casey.
Go on back where you came from.
We could've made it, Lucy.
We really could have.
Well, I'm not beat, you know? I'll see you around.
You know what makes a good con man? You wanna believe what he says even when you know it's a lie.
And he was awfully good.
Well, now there's the matter of the $300,000 I invested into Denault Inc.
Come on.
Let's go see Mr.
Denner.
And I'm sure he'll get that back right now.
[PHONE RINGING.]
McKay.
Tommy? Tommy? Is that you, Tommy? Where are you? What has? Are you all right, son? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I've seen Tracey.
She's right here in In Dallas.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll tell her I'll tell her what you said.
Well, yeah.
You just stay in that hospital and you fatten yourself up.
I'm I'll send you some money and I'll be along to see you just as soon as I can.
Well, uh, I'm only sorry I couldn't have gotten you out sooner.
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, good night, son.
Uh Tommy? I love you, son.
APRIL: J.
R.
- Well, April, what an unexpected surprise.
- What are you doing here, honey? - I was on my way to see you.
You mean, you're gonna brave the wrath of my brother and actually show up at the Ewing Oil offices? You know what Bobby can do with his wrath.
Yes, I suggested that to him on occasion.
No, I came by to tell you about Casey Denault.
Oh, honey, you can put the life story of that boy on the back of a postcard.
[APRIL LAUGHS.]
You were right about him.
His well is dry and so is his bank account.
Really? Well, it couldn't happen to a nicer hustler.
I'm disappointed.
I was very excited about going into the oil business.
- Well, you can still do that.
- I don't think so.
I mean, I may have the money to back it, but I don't know the first thing about oil.
I do.
So, what good is that gonna do me? I wanna introduce you to your new silent partner.
You and me together in the oil business? April, I'll match your investment dollar for dollar.
Tell you what to buy, what to sell, when to drill, when not to.
You are gonna own the hottest new oil company in the state of Texas.
What about Ewing Oil? Well, I thought you knew.
The condition Bobby made when he took me back was that I was not to deal in oil at Ewing Oil.
I heard rumors but how's he gonna feel about us becoming partners? Well, I don't think we have to tell him about that, do we? Until he starts to strangle on the fiercest competition Ewing Oil has ever had and lets me run the company again.
The funny thing is that old Jock never really did double-cross my daddy.
And yet the Barnes family and the Ewings have been feuding for years? Oh, yeah.
And you said that Bobby ignored that when he married Pam? You wanna walk for a little while? - Sure.
- I'd like that.
Suppose we could do that without talking about Bobby? - I've been doing that, haven't I? - A lot.
I'm sorry.
Tell me about your wife.
Jamie? Well, I don't think you wanna hear about Jamie.
Why? I know she died.
Is it too painful? Yeah, it's painful.
You must have loved her very much.
No, I didn't love her at all.
Surprise you? A little.
She was a Ewing.
Well, she was a cousin.
And by some fluke she wound up with a piece of Ewing Oil.
And that's why I married her.
And the Ewings lost Ewing Oil and I lost the piece that I had inherited from Jamie.
So I really hurt her for nothing.
Is that why she died? Because of you? No.
I don't know.
I wasn't even there.
- Tammy, come on, I'll take you home.
- Cliff.
We've all done things that we've been ashamed of.
There's gotta be something wrong with me because I have never even felt ashamed until now.
I've never even told anybody about Jamie.
About the way I felt.
I don't know why I'm doing it now.
Then why me? I don't know.
Maybe I feel safe with you.
[INTERCOM BUZZES.]
Yep? PHYLLIS [O VER INTERCOM.]
: Bobby, Mr.
Smithfield is here.
Send him in.
Thank you, Phyllis.
- Hello, Bobby.
- Harv.
- Thanks for coming over.
- Not at all.
I have all the documents for those Southfork parcels.
Good.
I just heard from Carter McKay's attorney.
They have the money and they're ready to close the deal.
- When? - This evening.
Good.
Sit down, Harv.
Thank you.
- You sure you know what you're doing? - Yes, Harv, I know what I'm doing.
I don't like it.
I know that.
But we don't have a choice.
Okay.
Get the family together and we'll meet at McKay's bank.
No.
We're talking about selling off part of Southfork.
I don't want Mama to do that in some strange bank.
We'll take care of it right here at Ewing Oil in the boardroom.
I'm not sure they'll come here.
Harv, call him.
Mama's having a hard enough time with this as it is.
Okay.
Phyllis, get me Carter McKay, please.
- Mama, can I get you anything? - No, I'm fine.
Thank you, Bobby.
- What's keeping McKay anyhow? - J.
R.
, he said he was gonna be late.
He's waiting for his moneyman to get here.
[DOOR OPENS.]
It's about time you got here.
I'm not that late.
I have the bank draft, you'll get it as soon as the papers are signed.
There you go.
Now I'd like to introduce you to my investor.
My sole investor.
Wendell.
What are you doing here? Well, you've been doing business with me, J.
R.
That's why I'm here.
- McKay has been working for you? - Yes.
- You tried to kill my son.
- Bobby.
I'm not interested in that.
I'm only interested in getting Section 40.
So it looks like my revenge is complete, J.
R.
You started the ranch war? You brought in all those hired killers? Yes.
You're behind all the, uh, damage? The shooting at the barn and trying to kill Bobby and Ray? Yes, of course.
I told Hughes to kill anyone who stood in my way.
Actually I'm happy none of you were hurt, it makes it all the sweeter doing this in front of you.
Wendell, you are the scum of the earth.
[CHUCKLES.]
Have you got the papers? Right here.
What's going on? This is not Section 40.
You bought some worthless piece of range land.
Well so I did.
You knew.
Mr.
Wendell, I'm Detective Caraway, Dallas P.
D.
I'm placing you under arrest.
- No, you can't do that.
- Well, of course I can.
We've got enough on tape to convict you on a dozen charges.
I'd like to read you your rights.
"You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him present while being questioned.
If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer one will be appointed to you before any questioning if you wish.
You can decide at any time to exercise these rights or not answer any question or make any statements.
" Wendell, I told you once if my brother didn't get you, I would.
Well, it looks like we both did.
McKAY: Well, I think we should get there in a little while, I'll tell you, boys.
- I'll be Uncle Bobby, you be Uncle Ray.
J.
R: Hey, ha, ha, what's going on here? [BO YS SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY.]
Okay, okay, okay.
Now, that's enough.
You almost hurt Mr.
McKay.
No harm done, Miss Ellie.
Well, I think you should take your roughhousing upstairs.
JOHN ROSS: Yes, grandma.
J.
R: It's gonna take them some while to settle down, Mama.
- And it's gonna take me a while.
- Well, me too.
Harv Smithfield wasn't happy about being kept in the dark, I'll tell you that.
- Well, I hope someone calmed him down.
CLAYTON: He's all right.
He realizes the setup wouldn't have worked any other way.
Well, I'm just glad it's over.
And I'm not proud of what I did to this family.
- Hi.
I hope we're not too late.
ELLIE: Of course not.
We've been waiting.
Mama, this is a special friend of mine, Tracey Lawton.
My mama, Miss Ellie.
- I'm delighted.
- Me too, Mrs.
Farlow.
And my stepfather, Clayton Farlow.
I didn't know you'd be here.
- You set this up, didn't you? - Yes, I did.
- Well, I'm not staying.
- Tracey, talk to him.
I'm sorry, Mac.
What the hell was that all about? Mac is her father.
McKAY: Tracey.
- Tracey.
- Leave me alone.
Please don't run.
- There's something I have to tell you.
- It's nothing I wanna hear.
I heard from Tommy.
You have? He's been in prison in South America.
Oh, my God.
No, no, it's okay.
He's back in the States and he's free.
How did he know where to reach you? Well, that's what I wanted to tell you.
The reason I did what I did to the Ewings was so that I could get Tommy free.
That was a condition in the deal.
Also I was told that I'd find you.
So you did one noble thing in your life.
Is that supposed to make up for all those years you were an animal? Someday, Tracey if and when we ever become father and daughter again l'd sure like to tell you a lot about your early years.
And about your mother and about me.
You're a hard man to like.
So I've been told.
But for now, since we're both in Dallas and maybe if we both try real hard we could become a family again.
We could try I guess.
It's all I want.
I love this place, Tracey.
You know, there was a time when I thought of pulling up stakes and getting a fresh start somewhere else.
Not anymore.
Well, I can understand that.
It's beautiful.
So how did it go last night with you and Mac? We had a good talk.
- Patch things up? - We made a start.
So now you have no reason to leave Dallas, huh? Well, I put that on hold.
It's just all so new to me, the feeling that I have for him.
- I don't know how to deal with it yet.
- He's an honorable man, Tracey.
He helped us put away Jeremy Wendell and that counts a lot in my book.
Well, what counts in my book is after all these years, if I'm really able to trust him.
If you stay in town, you'll find out.
And we can find out if you and I have something.
You want a pool hustler for a girlfriend? Well, I was kind of hoping you'd give up pool hustling and get yourself a real job.
You want me to give up one of the two things I'm really good at? I sure don't want you to give up the other one.
That's not what I meant.
I happen to be one of the great horseback riders in history.
Is that a fact? If you'd like to put up a little wager, I'd show you now.
- You're way out of your league with me.
- A hundred says I'm not.
You're on.
TRACEY: Hyah! [DOORBELL RINGS.]
Hello, Mac.
Kimberly Styles.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
Cryder.
Kimberly Cryder.
Oh Oh, of course.
It's been a long time.
Well, come in.
Come in.
I wasn't sure if you'd remember me.
How could I forget? - Please come in.
Sit down, um - Thank you.
Can I get you something to eat? No, thank you, but, um But I'll have a glass of what you're drinking.
I can remember when you only drank champagne.
Yes, well, a lot has changed since then.
Yes, I know.
I heard about your father and I'm I'm sorry.
I always liked him.
You know, Daddy always felt that you should've been running Westar, not Wendell.
I never wanted the job.
I liked what I was doing.
Always traveling.
The Middle East, South America, Africa.
Everywhere, right? - Well, that's what I did for a living.
- Hm.
Now, tell me something did you come here just to talk about the old days? No.
Not really.
Did you know that Wendell sold most of his own stock so he could buy that land from the Ewings? Uh-huh, I knew.
I bought that stock.
I now have controlling interest.
Wow.
Does that mean you're going to run the company now? I don't know.
It's something I have to think about.
J.
R: Well, guys, I don't know.
I've tried to figure it out but I couldn't.
[LAUGHING.]
Mr.
Ewing, there's a Mrs.
Ewing here to see you.
- What the devil is Sue Ellen doing here? TERESA: It's not that Mrs.
Ewing.
Well, what are you talking about? Everything you ever said to me was lies.
- What the hell are you doing here? - You just left me there and ran.
But we was married.
What? You don't think that little charade we went through was a real marriage, do you? Well, that's what this paper says and that's what the state says and that's what I say.
You're the waitress from Haleyville.
I'm Mrs.
J.
R.
Ewing.
Look at this if you have the need to.
Bobby, it was all a joke.
L I only married her to keep her brothers from killing me.
Is that what you really done? You told me that you loved me.
And you wanted to bring me here to Dallas to marry and to live with you.
Is that true, J.
R? Well, in a In a kind of vague sense, I suppose it was.
Well, it may not have meant much to you but I loved you.
And I married you because I wanted to live with you and have your kids.
And by damn, married we are.
I was still married when I was forced to marry you.
Now, that's coercion.
And And that marriage certificate is not worth the paper it's printed on, believe me.
J.
R.
, just a second.
Now, I'm looking at the date here and Sue Ellen had divorced you just before this so you were a free man.
So I guess we are married after all.
Yeah, you'll need plenty help proving that in this part of country.
J.
R.
, did you marry this girl? Well, I suppose I did but I, ha, ha Then you own up to it and do the right thing.
Mama, look at her.
You think she's gonna fit in in Dallas? What's so all-fired wonderful about Dallas? You think I couldn't dress and walk and talk as good as anyone you know? You just watch me.
Well, I think maybe you could.
And I also think maybe you married beneath yourself.
CALLY: Maybe so.
But I'm gonna make him a proper wife.
And he's gonna make me a proper husband.
Are you hungry, child? Name's Cally.
Calpurnia really, and yes, ma'am, I'm right hungry.
Then sit down and join us.
No, Cally.
The perfect seat for you.
Right here.
There you go.
And welcome to Southfork.
I think I'm really gonna like it here.
NARRATOR: Next on Dallas: APRIL: Who's that with your mother? - Oh, my God.
McKay, you two trying to kill each other? - I gotta talk to you.
- Hello, Tammy.
- Hello, Bobby.
- Yeah, I forgot you two know each other.
SUE ELLEN: I don't think I've met your guest.
- This is Cally.
- J.
R.
's new wife.
- His new what? He said you're a hopeless drunk, that you cheated on him all the time.
I see we have two more members of the Bobby Ewing fan club.
Bobby's foul-mouthed friend from the restaurant.
SUE ELLEN: J.
R.
Sue Ellen.
