Well, have a nice time.
You could be looking
forward to having a nice time...
if that cowboy of
yours is stuck around.
- If it's cash you need, go to Ellie.
- I don't want Ellie to know about it.
I'll be damned if I'll let you
push me out of your life...
when I know we can
work this out together.
We have nothing to work out.
You might be the only
woman that J.R. loves...
but you're certainly not the only
woman that J.R. makes love with.
I find you fascinating.
Why, because I have
a body and a brain?
Because you have a beautiful
body, and an impressive brain.
JOHN ROSS: Mommy's
home. Yay, yay!
Mommy's home. Mommy's home. Yay.
Mommy's home.
J.R.: Ha, ha. JOHN ROSS: Yay!
J.R.: Hi, John Ross. Now,
take it easy. Take it easy.
Hey, your mama's gonna
have to buy you some p.j.'s.
You're growing like a weed.
SUE ELLEN: I think he
needs some more shirts too.
- Oh.
- Come on, John Ross. Sleep time.
Am I going to be as
tall as you, Daddy?
Well, I wouldn't
be a bit surprised.
Your granddaddy
used to tell me...
the Ewings pass down
brains and brawn to their sons.
JOHN ROSS: What do
you hand down, Mommy?
Well, beauty and,
uh, charm, of course.
Oh. Enough of that
flattery. Come on. Bed time.
Good night, son.
Here you go. Watch your head.
Good night, Mommy.
Good night, baby.
J.R.: Night, son.
- Daddy?
- Yeah?
- I'm so glad Mommy's home.
- Aren't you?
- Certainly am.
We're all together again.
You betcha.
Sweet dreams.
I'm glad you moved
back home, Sue Ellen.
Uh, it's doing the boy
a world of good already.
That is what I came
back here for, after all.
Yeah. Well, I'm off.
Going to see Mandy?
[SIGHS]
Yes. Not that it's
any of your business.
I feel that my parental duties
are over for this evening.
Well, have a nice time.
You could look forward
to having a nice time...
if that cowboy had stuck around.
Maybe Dusty has a lot
more pride than Mandy does.
Oh?
Well, I hope that keeps
him warm at night.
Sure not gonna do you any good.
Wow. Quite a place
you've got here.
J.R. turned out to be a really
good meal ticket for you, hasn't he?
J.R. is not a meal ticket.
I told you I'm in love with him.
And he's in love with me.
Okay. Have it your way.
I just never figured you
for the kind of woman...
who'd be happy being
somebody's mistress forever.
It won't be forever.
Mandy, Sue Ellen's moved
back to Southfork again.
I know, I know, I know.
It's for John Ross' sake.
But now think about this.
John Ross is 7 years old.
Seven years old.
That means it
will be 11 years...
before he's ready to go to
school and leave Southfork.
You're telling me you're willing to wait
11 years for J.R. to be free to marry you?
I don't know...
but that still isn't any reason for me
to turn against him and spy for you.
We're in love with each other.
And you don't care
about Sue Ellen?
Well, of course I do,
but I can live with that.
I'm the only woman J.R. loves.
You might be the only
woman that J.R. loves...
but you're certainly not the only
woman that J.R. makes love with.
I mean, the man's incapable
of being faithful to anyone.
Whoa. Okay. Look.
- I think you'd better go.
- Okay. Whatever you say.
But, now, don't say
I didn't warn you.
I tell you, the next time
that J.R. stands you up...
He has stood you up before, hasn't
he? Uh-huh. Okay. I thought so.
Well, next time he does, I think you really
should check and find out where he is.
I think you'll find out that I
know what I'm talking about.
[SIGHS]
I enjoyed dinner.
[SIGHS]
I don't understand, and I
am really, really trying to.
Jenna...
we're both grownups.
Grownups talk to each
other, so talk to me.
- I have.
- You haven't.
All you've said to me is how much
you miss Bobby. I know you miss Bobby.
You'd be inhuman if you
didn't. But life goes on.
- You don't know anything about it.
- Oh, yes, I do.
I know that we feel
something for one another.
I'll admit, maybe I rushed
into things, but I'll be damned...
if I'll let you push me out of your life
when we can work this out together.
We have nothing to work out.
I'm sorry if I've led you
to believe otherwise.
I had no right to do that.
I guess things just
got out of hand.
[CHUCKLES]
Oh, you're damn
right they did...
because you care about me too.
No.
I'm sorry.
No.
No, I'm sorry.
I guess I read you all wrong.
I guess you did.
- Maybe I'll call you in a couple of days.
- No, don't.
Don't call me.
Don't come over.
Don't do anything.
Just leave me alone.
Is this a private party?
Hmm? Oh.
Oh, I'm just standing
around daydreaming.
Fires are nice for that.
My daddy used to tell me
when I was a little shaver...
that if I wanted to find a peace of
mind, just to find myself a nice fireplace.
[DOOR OPENING]
Peace.
Sorry to barge
in on you so late...
but me and Donna are gonna
need a place to sleep tonight.
- What?
- What happened to you?
Um...
You want me to make up something,
or you want to hear the truth?
[BOTH LAUGH]
A main water pipe broke, and,
uh, flooded the whole house, ha, ha.
And you actually went into that?
Well, I was carrying Donna over
the threshold for old times' sake...
and didn't actually
notice. Ha, ha.
Until it was too late, huh?
Yeah. Something like that.
Well, we better get Miss
Ellie and get you settled.
You were carrying
her over the threshold?
RAY: Well, yeah.
We were playing honeymoon.
- Don't ask. CLAYTON: Ha.
[CLAYTON LAUGHS]
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Surprised to see me?
- I wasn't expecting you.
- Ha, ha.
Well, I had to come over.
I have something burning
a hole in my pocket...
and, uh, could
you help me with it?
With my love and my apologies.
Open it.
What's this for?
[SIGHS]
It's just my way of trying to make up
for Sue Ellen moving back to Southfork...
and to show you how much I love
you, and that I'm always thinking of you.
Go on. Open it.
MANDY: Oh, J.R.
It's beautiful. I've never
had anything like this.
And I've never had
anything like you.
[J.R. GIGGLES]
[SIGHS]
New dress?
- Mm-hm.
- I like it.
Did you go out tonight?
To dinner with a friend.
Good.
I hate to think of you sitting around
here, waiting for me to show up nights.
Where'd you go?
Um, a new Chinese
place. The Peking Palace.
Mandy, I got an idea.
Why don't you slip that new
bracelet on, and everything else off...
and we'll get reacquainted?
[J.R. GIGGLES]
[J.R. SIGHS]
I'll be right back.
But, Jack, where are you going?
JACK: Away.
Away from Dallas.
Why? For how long?
Jamie, I appreciate the
fact that you came here...
and that you're gonna come by and
water the plants, pick up the mail...
but you've gotta do these things
without asking me any questions.
Because I don't have
any more answers.
This has something to
do with Jenna, doesn't it?
Yes.
It's got a lot to do with
a lot of other things too.
I made a mistake
in coming to Dallas.
I don't belong here.
- Oh, Jack, of course you belong here.
- I don't.
I don't belong in
a relationship with
Jenna. I don't belong
in an office with J.R.
Jamie, I just can't talk about it
right now. I've gotta get away, alone.
I've gotta sort things out
before I waste any more time.
- Maybe I can help you, Jack.
- Jamie, will you just drop it?
Will you at least tell me how I
can get ahold of you if I have to?
I don't know where
I'm gonna wind up.
Do you have any idea
how long you'll be gone?
I'll get back when I get a
handle on things, if I ever do.
- Okay.
- Be good, kiddo.
I hope you don't expect me
to actually spy on Miss Nero.
Oh, no, no, no. I'm
just asking you...
to give me a call every
time Mr. Ewing visits.
Mr. Ewing's often at the
penthouse on business.
Then give me a call when he's there
for pleasure, if you know what I mean.
Uh, I hope this might ease
your feelings of embarrassment...
you might have about
helping me out in this matter.
- Look, I feel very uncomfortable
about this. CLIFF: Oh, now, look, now.
Miss Nero will never know.
Mr. Ewing will never know, and
all I'm asking for is a telephone call.
It's gonna be our
little secret, huh?
Now, there. Do we have a deal?
No one will ever know?
No one will ever know.
You have my word.
How about a nice leisurely
breakfast, and then a long walk?
Just the two of us.
I can't make it.
Then let's do it this afternoon.
It's such a beautiful day.
Ellie, I told you I had to go
to Houston on business today.
Don't you remember?
I'm sorry, Clayton.
I did forget.
I felt you tossing
and turning all night.
Was something, uh...
Something bothering you?
I just couldn't sleep. I'm
sorry if I kept you awake.
Uh, I may have to stay over.
I'll call you and let you know.
You have a nice day, Ellie,
and I'll, uh... I'll talk to you later.
[SIGHS]
ELLIE: Clayton?
[SIGHS]
[CLAYTON CHUCKLES]
See you later.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
PAMELA: Come in.
This just came for Bobby.
- Oh.
- Would you like me to open it?
No. I'll do it.
It's an uncut emerald.
Sent to Bobby
from Matt Cantrell.
He says it's the first return
on Bobby's investment.
Do you know anything about this?
- Do you know who Matt Cantrell is?
- He's an old friend of Bobby's.
Right.
Well, about a year ago, Matt thought he'd
found a new emerald deposit in Columbia.
Bobby gave him the
seed money to test it out.
Sounds pretty far-fetched.
I think J.R. put it a little
more strongly at the time.
J.R.: Oh, sorry
to barge in, ladies.
I just wanted to remind you
of the business luncheon...
we're having with Angelica Nero.
- Did you think I'd forget?
- No. You got a lot on your mind.
- Is Jack all set?
- Well, I haven't seen him this morning.
If he's supposed to be
there, I'm sure he will be.
- What's that?
- It's an emerald.
Matt Cantrell sent it to Bobby.
He says it may be the first of the
biggest emerald find in 50 years.
[SCOFFS]
Well, looks like a
piece of glass to me.
I told Bobby not to put
any money in that scheme.
Matt Cantrell knows as much
about the emerald business as...
As I do?
Or as much as he knows
about the insurance business...
the real-estate business
or the used-car business.
[SNICKERS]
All of which he has been
a spectacular failure at.
J.R., if that's the real thing,
he's not a failure anymore.
Well, I'd have it analyzed,
because if that thing's real, I'll eat it.
[CHUCKLES]
[LAUGHS]
I wish.
I'll get it analyzed right away.
That was quite a tour, Mark.
You showed me everything
except the broom closet.
Well, next time.
I wanted you to see the
full extent of our operation...
so you'd understand why I
asked you to come talk to me.
And now I'm supposed
to understand what?
Well, that medical
research is a bottomless pit.
There's no end to
the things we need.
You can't imagine how much
money that takes. A steady supply.
Oh.
I'd be happy to
give you a donation.
Thank you.
I... I appreciate that...
but I really had something a little
bit more ambitious in mind for you.
How would you like to get
other people to contribute?
Well, of course.
I must know about 50 people
who'd be happy to donate money.
Well, not to mention the
people you don't know.
I'd like you to be
our chief fundraiser.
- You're kidding. GRAISON:
I most certainly am not.
And neither was Pam when she suggested
that you were the perfect lady for the job.
Pam said that?
[SIGHS]
Mark, I've always wanted to
do something useful in my life.
Something that would
make a difference.
And I think that helping you out
here would be a great way to start.
You know, I'm not offering a
volunteer position, Sue Ellen.
This is, uh, a real job. This is
something that'll take a lot of time...
and be very important to
the success of the center.
Nobody's ever
offered me a job before.
Good.
Welcome to the working class.
[SIGHS]
Thank you.
Market's down, Clayton,
possibly going down further.
It's a bad time to
sell, in my opinion.
I did not ask for your opinion.
Why? It's no good if it
doesn't agree with yours?
Harding, I wanna sell
those subsidiary companies...
and I wanna do it fast, and with as
few people knowing about it as possible.
This is all because
you wanna retire?
Well, your father knew
the right time to retire.
That's why he turned
the law firm over to you.
But he didn't lose
a fortune doing it.
Harding, I'm in serious
financial trouble.
I have to sell off the subsidiaries to
hold on to the refineries themselves.
Damn it, Clayton. If it's cash
you need, go to Ellie for it.
She's one of the
richest women in Texas.
She's your wife.
And she loves you.
I'm gonna say
this one more time.
I wanna sell them
quickly and privately...
and I don't want
Ellie to know about it.
ELLIE: Well, you're home early.
I didn't see you there.
I guess I'm just out of it.
It happens to the best of us.
You could be coming
down with something.
Maybe.
Maybe you ought to call Jack...
and cancel whatever it
is you two were gonna do.
I hadn't planned on seeing Jack.
Jenna...
you're acting very much like
someone who needs to talk.
I treated Jack
miserably last night.
I said some terrible
things to him.
All because he's not Bobby.
I'm stuck, Miss Ellie.
I can't go back in time
and be with Bobby and I...
I can't seem to go forward.
I miss him so much, I
can't turn the radio on...
because I might
hear a song he liked.
He loved you very much, Jenna.
Both you and Charlie.
I know that.
I know how much he loved me.
Told me the night he d*ed.
All that wasted time.
We could've been together.
Jenna, you can't
change the past.
I know that.
Then try and remember
all the happy times...
and don't punish yourself for having
new, different good times with...
With someone else.
I know you're
right, Miss Ellie...
but I'll never forgive
myself for that wasted time.
[SIGHS]
And, of course, uh, I've
saved the best for the last.
I think we can look forward to,
uh, getting our drilling permits a lot...
sooner than we expected.
I thought that kind of paperwork
took forever in South America.
Yeah, well, normally it does...
but one of my boys found a
government official down in Caracas...
and he is willing to be more than
a little help in getting our permits.
For more than a little money.
Well, ha, ha, pocket
change, really.
And exactly how much is that?
J.R.: Oh, I don't know.
Fifty thousand, 75,000,
whatever it takes.
And it's really necessary?
Darling, we spend more in
postage than that in a year.
It's not the amount of money, J.R., I
just don't like doing business that way.
But that's the way
all business operates.
Big business, that is.
Well, Pam's our
resident Girl Scout.
She's always trying to
keep me honest, you know?
How charming, and
how utterly difficult.
[ALL LAUGH]
Well, shall we?
You will find out why
Jack wasn't here?
Oh, probably just some little emergency.
I'm sure he'll call and apologize.
And you'll also make sure that he
never has to call again with an apology.
Oh, yeah, you can count on it.
Well, thank you.
[J.R. SIGHS]
- Oh, Sam. Sam Barker.
- Hey, J.R.
- How you doing?
- Good. Good.
Uh, have you heard
from your partner recently?
Not since I talked to you last,
but I'll definitely keep you posted.
Oh, yeah. You do
that. You do that.
Uh, oh, I'd like you to
meet my partner, uh...
- Pamela Ewing.
- Ah, Miss Ewing.
And Angelica Nero.
- How do you do?
- My pleasure.
And her assistant Grace.
- How do you do?
- Pleasure.
J.R.: They're in from Greece.
We're doing a little business together.
Well, it's nice meeting you all.
J.R.: Yeah. Keep in touch.
Will do.
J.R.: They put on quite a feast
at the Oil Baron's, don't they?
ANGELICA: Yes, um, interesting.
J.R.: Ladies.
Oh, ahem, I'm
terribly sorry, Angelica.
I forgot my folder upstairs and
I'll have to go back up and get it.
Why don't you go on, I'll catch a
cab, and I'll meet you at the hotel?
I'll drop you off.
Find what you're after...
and then why don't you take
the rest of the afternoon off...
for whatever else
you want to do?
Thank you. I won't be long.
Pardon me.
Uh-oh.
- I believe we've met before.
- I believe we have.
I think I owe you
an explanation.
May I buy you a drink?
Okay.
Bartender.
RAY: Should've
seen it last night.
Well, you've got an
awful big job here, Ray.
You bet.
Ray, you, uh, built this
house yourself, did you?
Ha, ha. Yes, I did.
Very inventive plumbing.
Well, ahem, I'd say it's gonna
cost you in the neighborhood...
of 30, 40,000 minimum to
get this place in the shape...
where you'd wanna live in it.
Well, that's a lot of money.
Yeah, well, it will be a
lot more if Ray helps me.
[RAY LAUGHS]
Well, listen, Matt, thanks
for coming out today.
We'll get in touch with you.
- Okay.
- Bye.
Oh, what's the big deal
with the plumbing, huh?
- I mean, you're good at a lot of things.
- Uh, yeah.
Like what?
[CAR STARTING]
Listen.
How do you know
this isn't a sign, huh?
I mean, maybe we're...
Maybe we're supposed to start
fresh and build that dream house.
I mean, I got dreams. Don't you?
Yeah.
My dream is to make you happy.
Then why don't we build it?
And I'll ask Miss Ellie if we can
stay at Southfork until it's finished.
Sure you wanna do that?
[SIGHS]
Yeah.
Good.
I always wanted to see how
it feels to live at Southfork.
[RAY LAUGHS]
[SIGHS]
Teresa said you
were looking for me.
Um, yeah. Yeah, I...
I was wondering if you could
tell me, uh, where Jack is.
Um, I have no
idea. Isn't he home?
No. Nobody's heard
from him all day.
He's a big boy. I'm
sure he'll show up.
Don't you two have, uh, a date
or something like that tonight?
No. We don't.
J.R.: Lovers' quarrel?
J.R., I really don't
wanna talk about it.
Oh, I... I don't
want to be nosey.
It's just that you and Jack
have been quite an item lately.
Well, we're not anymore.
Wait a minute.
This fight that you two had...
it wasn't enough to make
him wanna leave town, was it?
[DIALING PHONE]
Uh, Mandy...
darling, uh, I'm afraid we're gonna
have to cancel our plans for tonight.
Well, something
important came up.
I'm gonna have to go
over to Angelica Nero's.
[SIGHS]
I'm sorry, I...
I can't tell you how sorry I am.
No, I don't understand.
Where is he?
Well, to be perfectly
honest with you, Angelica, I...
I really don't know exactly.
You came here to tell me that?
No, I just came here to tell
you that Jack is off somewhere...
checking a cattle purchase
for Clayton and Ray, that's all.
And that takes precedence
over his responsibilities to you?
Well, I'm sure he just didn't understand
how important that lunch was to you.
That luncheon was
not important at all.
What was important was the
fact that I wanted him there.
When drilling starts, he
will be at your beck and call.
I guarantee you.
The drilling is one thing,
but the real reason...
for doing business
together is quite another...
and they are
inextricably linked.
Or do I need to remind you...
for Dimitri to give his fortune to
Jack without Jack's knowledge...
we must have the oil deal to
channel that money through.
You don't have to remind
me of anything, honey.
I can vouch for Jack's reliability. I
mean, didn't I tell you? He's a Ewing.
Did I tell you he wasn't?
[LAUGHS]
- God, you're an exciting woman.
- Don't change the subject.
I find the subject fascinating.
I find you fascinating.
Why? Because I have
a body and a brain?
Because you have a beautiful
body, and an impressive brain.
I suppose your charm works
on every woman you meet.
I don't waste it on
every woman I meet.
[SERVANT CLEARS THROAT]
Pardon me, madam. Is there
anything else I might bring for you?
No, nothing. Thank you.
I won't be needing you
anymore this evening.
Oh, very good, madam.
But I will be needing you.
[J.R. CHUCKLES]
Thank you, my friend.
That's just the news
I was waiting to hear.
[RINGING]
Hello?
You are much too beautiful to be
spending the night at home alone.
Cliff, why are you doing this?
Your boyfriend's
not alone tonight.
I know that.
He has a business
meeting with Angelica Nero.
And just when do you think
that meeting will be over?
Early.
J.R. said that he was worn out, and
as soon as the meeting broke up...
he was going straight
back to Southfork.
Well...
you can believe
that if you want to.
Why shouldn't I?
Why should you?
I love you.
What a nice thing to hear
in the middle of the night.
GRAISON: Mm-hm.
[PAMELA MOANS]
Oh, I forgot to tell you.
Sue Ellen's gonna
come to work for me.
That's business.
We're not supposed to
talk about business in bed.
- Oh, you're right.
- But since you started...
- Hey, wait a minute.
- No, no.
There's something I wanna tell
you. Just one thing, okay? One thing.
You know that emerald
that came for Bobby?
Well, I had it checked out
by a gemologist, and it's real.
- Mm-hm.
- He says it's a very rare find.
Bobby was right to take
a chance on Matt Cantrell.
[SIGHS]
I'm sorry. I just thought you'd
help me decide what to do...
when Matt Cantrell
comes to town.
Well, I have a feeling you
may not even be here...
when Cantrell comes to town.
Here's one for... One
for me and one for you.
Are we on the same plane?
Yeah. You've got the window seat,
and I've got the aisle there, see?
Where are we going?
Oh, we'll go to Paris to
catch the Orient-Express.
Then on to Venice,
and then, uh...
[LAUGHING] Oh,
wait a minute. Stop.
I can't take any more of
this. It's too good to be true.
It's true.
And nothing's gonna
stop it from happening.
I promise you that.
Good morning.
ANGELICA: Morning.
I didn't know you
were up so early.
[GRACE CLEARS THROAT]
I didn't go to
sleep after J.R. left.
Does he know where Jack is?
I don't know what he knows.
But he would like me
to believe, however...
that he can produce Jack like this, the
minute it's necessary for us to have him.
Do you believe that?
For the time being,
I suppose I have to.
And how was your evening?
A bit more productive, I see.
GRACE: I don't know why they say
that auto mechanics is a masculine hobby.
I've always thought
it was rather useful.
Very well done.
No, no, we're gonna be
staying on at Southfork...
but we need to get this insurance taken
care of before we wear out our welcome.
- Yeah. TERESA:
Excuse me, ma'am.
- Yes?
- There's a gentleman here to see you.
A Mr. McHenry from
the Woodgrove school.
He said you and
Mr. Krebbs met him there.
Uh, yes. Ask him to come out.
Mr. Cutler, I'm gonna
have to call you back.
Okay, that'd be fine.
Thank you. Uh-huh.
- Mrs. Krebbs? DONNA: Yes.
- You may not remember me but...
- Of course I remember you.
My husband and I met
you after the soccer game.
- You were teaching an art class.
- That's right.
Please, sit down.
I, uh, didn't realize I
made such an impression.
DONNA: It was a big day.
It all made a
lasting impression.
I wanna tell you how sorry I
was to hear about your baby.
Thank you.
And that's really what
brought me out here today.
Uh, I hope I'm not out of
line, but I came by to suggest...
that you might wanna
come back to Woodgrove...
see the children again,
maybe on a regular basis.
- Mr. McHenry.
- Lee.
I don't know what
good that would do.
Perhaps I just don't understand
what it is you're suggesting.
Well, we're desperate for
help out there at the school...
and you struck me as the
kind of person with the love...
and the strength
that our children need.
Well, I don't have any
background. Any training.
If you're interested, we'll
take care of all the rest.
Do you think you might be?
I don't know.
I don't know that
I'd be very good at it.
McHENRY: Oh, I
think you would be.
I watched you with the
children that afternoon.
You were open to them.
You seemed to respond to them.
You would get back everything you
put into Woodgrove tenfold, Mrs. Krebbs.
Donna.
Then you'll think about it?
Yeah. I'll think about it, but I
won't promise you anything.
It's just a lot to consider.
I understand that.
Now, if you have any
questions, you can give me a call.
Thank you for coming. It
was really very kind of you.
Kind has nothing to
do with it. We need you.
- Hey, Mandy, you gonna be
long? MANDY: I'm almost ready.
Oh.
Well, you are a vision.
Thank you.
You're not mad about
last night, are you?
I told you I was sorry.
I... I just had to work.
Did you have to work very late?
No, no. I got back to
Southfork around 11:00.
Oh.
Good thing too.
John Ross was fussing with
a cold. He was up all night.
I see. Is he better now?
He's fine. No fever or anything.
Well, I'm glad.
Well, I'm here to take you to
lunch. You just name the place.
I'm sorry, I can't, J.R. I have
a modeling assignment today.
I really wish you
would've called before.
[J.R. SIGHS]
You are still mad.
No, I'm not. Really.
We'll make up for lost time.
Tonight? Hmm?
You still like it?
I love it, J.R.
And I love you.
Nine o'clock?
All right.
[PANTING]
[WATER SPLASHES]
[TOILET FLUSHES]
Here you are, Miss Ellie.
You looking for me?
Yes, I was going into town to do shopping
and I thought you might like to go along.
Oh, no, thanks.
I don't think so.
Are you shopping
for something special?
John Ross needs a few new
things. He's growing up so fast.
ELLIE: Hmm.
I remember I used to want to
put bricks on the boys' heads...
to keep them
from getting bigger.
I never really wanted
them to grow up.
I feel the same way
about John Ross.
Doesn't seem that long ago...
that he was just a little thing I
used to carry around in my arms.
What is it, Miss Ellie? Is
something bothering you?
[CHUCKLES]
Was it that obvious?
[MOUTHS] Yep.
Do you wanna tell me about it?
Well, I'm... I'm not really
sure there's anything to tell.
It's, uh...
It's Clayton.
Have you noticed anything
different about him?
The way he's been acting?
Clayton?
Well, he has seemed
a little distracted lately.
Is that what you mean?
Then it's not my imagination.
But it's something more than
that. It's something that I...
I can't quite put my finger on.
Maybe he isn't feeling well.
No. I don't think it's that.
- Have you talked to him about it?
- Yes.
Well, no. Not exactly.
I asked and he denied.
I wish there was something
that I could do to help you.
There is.
Don't, uh... Don't say
anything about this to anybody...
until I've had a chance
to find out what's going on.
[SIGHS]
SLY [OVER PHONE]:
Angelica Nero called.
She wants you to call her as
soon as you locate Jack Ewing.
Damn, I wish she'd
find a new song to sing.
Have you heard from him yet?
No. There's still no
answer at his apartment.
I even tried his sister's.
She's not home, either.
Well, keep trying.
What about Ray?
Ray hasn't heard from
him for a couple of days.
All right. I'm gonna
drop by Jack's apartment.
Maybe he's just holed up in
there, not answering his phone.
Pretty shocking about
Sam Barker, wasn't it?
What about Sam Barker?
It was in the news this
morning. In the paper.
He was k*lled last night
in an automobile accident.
[SIGHS]
I just saw him yesterday.
I'm sorry, J.R.
Is there anything else?
No. No, I'll be in later.
It's always something.
[SNICKERS]
Sam Barker.
[SIGHS]
[WATER RUNS]
Jamie.
- J.R. Jack's not here.
- Oh?
I told you that he's not here.
Well, where the hell is he?
JAMIE: I don't know. He wouldn't
tell me where he was going.
Did he happen to mention
how long he's gonna be gone?
No, he did not. He just asked me to stop
by, water his plants and pick up the mail.
Why is Jack all of a
sudden so important to you?
Business.
- That's it? Business?
- That's all you need to know.
It's simple enough for
you, isn't it? Business.
Leave, J.R.
I thought you'd never ask.
When that brother of yours calls,
tell him I wanna hear from him.
I don't expect to
be hearing from him.
He told me that he wanted
to spend some time alone.
Hmm, well, no man's an island.
CLIFF: Hello, Mandy.
Got here as soon
as I could. What's up?
I went to Angelica Nero's
hotel last night and waited.
It was 5:00 in the morning
when J.R. came out.
He didn't see you, did he?
When he came over to
my place this morning...
I asked if he'd
worked very late.
He said he was back
at Southfork by 11.
You were right, Cliff.
Sue Ellen was right.
Everyone was right.
I'm sorry you had
to find out this way.
But since you did, are you
ready to take me up on my offer?
Yes.
You just tell me what
you want me to do.
J.R.'s betrayed
me for the last time.
Now it's my turn.
