Cliff?
[Control] It's me. Open the door.
What are you doing here?
How could you do it, Liz?
How could you screw up 10 year's work?
- What are you talking about? - Don't play with me.
Now, what the hell could he have done
to make you do something that stupid?
Look, either tell me what you're talking about
or get out of here.
Last night, Johnny Dancer was shot to death,
up close and personal,
and I know damn well it was you.
- Johnny's dead? - Very.
You blew it.
We had a perfect chance to finally get Dancer
and his whole rotten group and you couldn't wait.
I-I didn't kill him.
Alright. Right.
As far as I'm concerned, you're finished.
I hope the cops get you for this
and put you away forever.
I wanted Johnny nailed more than you did.
You wanted him dead. I wanted him in jail.
My whole career was riding on that.
Oh, well, I can kiss that goodbye now.
Just like you can kiss our help goodbye.
I'll see you on visiting day.
Well, you finally made it home.
I'm surprised you remember where you live.
What are you talking about? I was at home all night.
We had a delightful dinner
and listened to music for a while.
What is this, Mac?
I went to bed at 11 and you weren't there.
And believe me, you're hard to miss.
Then you must have forgotten.
We were together from 7:30 last night
until I left for work this morning.
And for the sake of your continued well-being,
if anybody asks, that had better be what you tell them.
I don't understand.
It's not necessary for you to understand.
It's only necessary for you to do what I'm telling you to.
[Carter] Any questions?
Yeah. Why?
Because I told you to.
I'll see you tonight. Maybe we'll go out for dinner.
Oh, my God.
[Kendall] Good morning, Bobby.
- Kendall. - Morning, Bobby.
Hi. Morning.
Phyllis, is Breslin in my office?
No, I'm sorry. He must have missed you at the ranch.
He called to cancel the meeting.
He said something had come up
and he was flying out of town to follow up.
- Did he say what it was? - No, just that he'd call back.
- He can get me at the ranch. - Okay.
Can we talk for a minute, Bobby?
I heard all I wanted out of you
at the reading of April's will.
I know, and I'm sorry. Truly.
I came here to apologize.
All right, you've apologized.
You really hate me, don't you?
Michelle, I don't feel one way or the other about you.
You apologized, I accepted. Now, what else do you want?
Maybe about five minutes of your time. Please?
There are some things I really wanna say.
[sighs] All right, come on in.
I'm listening.
I don't blame you.
But you're not making this easy.
[Michelle] I know you don't think much of me, Bobby.
I wasn't the sister that April deserved.
But I loved her. You have to believe that.
When I found out that she was dead,
I guess I just went a little crazy.
All I could think was that it was your fault.
You married her, you took her to Paris.
I wanted to get back at you for what you'd done.
I was so blinded by wanting revenge,
I never even thought about how much you were hurting.
And then at the reading of the will,
when you said to me what you did...
...well, I realized how wrong I was.
I understood that you weren't to blame.
Anyway...
...I want you to forgive me for the things that I've said.
And maybe for April's sake, we could be friends.
If it really matters to you, then I forgive you.
I don't know why that should make you feel better,
but if it does, fine.
Thank you.
There's one more thing.
I know about Sheila Foley.
I know that you're not gonna let her go, and I wanna help.
It's a very personal score I have to settle with Sheila.
Goodbye, Michelle.
James?
[J.R.] No, Sly.
It's J.R. would you let me in?
J.R.
Thank you.
What do you want?
Well, I just wanna tell you that...
...I don't blame you for being upset at me.
I made a terrible mistake firing you the way I did.
Oh?
Well, look at the years we've been together.
And you've been about as loyal as anyone could expect.
Well, I've always tried.
What I'm trying to say is, um,
I want you to come back to work for me.
It's just not the same without you, Sly.
So, would you come back?
Of course, J.R. I'd love to work for you again.
[chuckles] Good.
It'll be good having somebody I can trust again.
What's the matter?
Well...
...when you fired me, I was really hurt.
And, um, James convinced me
to give him some information about you.
What kind of information?
[sighs] Nothing you'd like.
- I'm sorry, J.R. - You know what he did with it?
- I know he went to Cliff. - Oh, my God.
But-but Cliff wouldn't use it.
He thought it would hurt Bobby.
Well, this day is full of surprises, that's for sure.
Listen, Sly. I need to know where James is
and I think you can tell me.
Boy's mama's in town.
She wants to see him. It's real important.
He's working and living
in a motorcycle shop on Hillcrest.
You are kidding.
Well, I'm sure his mama will be delighted to hear that.
[chuckles] Alright. See you at work tomorrow morning.
Oh, and one more thing.
If you have any more of that information left,
burn it, huh?
Bobby?
Yeah. Yeah.
Liz, what are you doing here?
They told me at the house you'd be here.
I want you to know how very sorry I am about April.
You didn't come all the way out here just to tell me that.
No. Bobby, do you know where Cliff is?
- No idea. Why? - You're his closest friend.
He's taken off somewhere and I have to find him.
Liz, I'm sorry if you and Cliff had a falling out.
[Liz] It's more than that.
I'm afraid Cliff might have done
something terrible.
Well, it's very complicated,
but I got Cliff involved in something
that's way over his head.
I think he might have murdered someone and skipped town.
Liz, I have no idea where Cliff is,
but I'll tell you one thing, he's not a murderer.
If he's out of town, he's got a good reason,
and murder's not it.
Well, I think you might be wrong.
Anyway, I have to find him. Will you help me?
I have other things on my mind. I'm sorry.
Hyah. Hyah. Hyah.
- Hello. - Hello.
Oh, you look magnificent.
I've been thinking about us all day.
About you and about James.
[chuckles] And you opened the door anyway?
Mm. And even ordered dinner for us.
Oh, wonderful, wonderful.
I'm sure things can't be as bad as I imagined.
Once I've had a chance to talk to James,
we'll straighten it all out.
Well, I found out where James is.
And I know you have to talk to him, but before you do,
well, there's a few things I wanna say.Alright.
I don't know what James is gonna tell you about me.
I have a feeling it's not gonna be very good.
Don't let him turn you against me.
He's young and...
God love him, he's strong and tough.
He doesn't need you anymore.
I do.
You frighten me, J.R.
How far has this gone between you?
I don't know what he expected of me,
but whatever it was, I let him down.
[sighs] Maybe it's 'cause we came together too late
or maybe I just couldn't take his disapproval anymore.
And what is it that he disapproves of so much?
Well, I'm sure he'll be able to tell you
better than I could.
But when you talk to him, remember this,
I loved you more than any other woman in the world.
I do know that.
But no matter how you see James, I still see him
as a vulnerable little boy that I have to protect.
I love you both so much.
I hope the time doesn't come
when I have to choose between you.
Thanks, Charlie, I owe you one.
Call me when you know.
- Yes? - [Det. Bussey] Miss Adams?
This is Detective Bussey of the Dallas Police Department.
Would you open the door, please?
Thank you, ma'am. May I come in?
Of course, but would you mind telling me what this is about?
I believe you were involved in a business transaction
with a man named John Danzig.
Yes.
I'm sure you know by now Mr. Danzig's been killed.
I read about it.
What does that have to do with me?
Well, apparently, Mr. Danzig was rather new to Dallas
and we wondered if you could shed some light
on what might've happened.
Our relationship was strictly business.
I've been trying to sell my brother's company,
and Mr. Danzig made an offer which I accepted.
Yes, ma'am, that's what Mr. Danzig's lawyers told us.
Did you see him often?
Two or three times.
But as I said, it was to discuss
the sale of my company.
Are you aware of any other friends
or acquaintances he might've had here?
I really knew very little about him. I'm sorry.
That's all right. Just take a minute and think.
Is there anyone he might have mentioned?
[Det. Bussey] Any other names that sounded familiar to you?
I'd really like to help you,
but as I said, I know very little.
Just in case anything comes to mind,
you can reach me here.
Of course.
Thank you, ma'am.
Hello, James.
Hello, Mother. Fancy seeing you here.
No kiss hello?
Oh, yeah, well, I'm kind of greasy.
So, what do you think?
Not exactly what you had in mind for me
when you left, is it?
Well, I don't know. As long as it makes you happy.
It's all right with me.
Well, I like it a lot better than what I was doing.
And you? Everything okay?
We're being very polite and formal, aren't we?
I thought we'd warm up a little bit
before we started throwing the hard stuff.
[Vanessa] Such as?
[sighs] Well, obviously, you've seen J.R.
How else would you know where I was?
I thought when I saw J.R.,
that I'd see you as well.
I had no idea you were no longer at Ewing Oil.
Came as a shock, didn't it?
Well, on top of everything else, I'm flat broke.
Bet you figured Daddy and I would be running Texas by now.
Well, that would've been nice.
Well, life doesn't always work out nice.
I mean, unless, of course, you're J.R. Ewing.
I mean, look at it. Cally dumps him.
And who walks back into his life
but his great long lost love.
Was it an accident or did he send for you?
[scoffs] No one sends for me, James.
I think I deserve a little more respect than that.
Yeah, I guess you do. But the timing is perfect.
What happened with you and J.R.?
What'd he tell you?
Well, he...
he took some of the blame.
But he didn't have much good to say about you.
Yeah, I bet he didn't. Huh.
I'd like to hear your version.
It was probably a lot like his.
I mean, I wanted a father, he wanted a son.
Neither of us got what we wanted.
Why not?
We don't have anything in common but you.
I think you see J.R. through some kind of romantic haze.
You see the man you fell in love with years ago.
Don't know what he was like back then.
But now he's a lying, cheating,
whoring, no good bastard.
How sad.
Shall I tell you something amusing?
Sure. Could use a good laugh.
When J.R. told me that he and Cally had separated,
and before I knew about the two of you,
I had this charming vision of the three of us
living together happily ever after.
There isn't gonna be any happily ever after,
not with him and me.
Are you going to make me choose between the two of you?
Hell, no. Live with him if you want.
Just don't marry him.
I mean, you'll find out what he's really like.
Then you'll run away from him, like Cally and his first wife.
And if I decide to marry him?
Don't invite me to the wedding.
I get paid by the hour around here.
Oh.
- Goodbye, Mother. - Goodbye, James.
Cliff?
Miss Adams. Come on in.
What are you doing here?
You know the real disadvantage to police work?
We have to do everything by the book.
Our criminals, they can do anything they want.
They don't have to worry about rules.
Burglars, don't get search warrants, but we do, see?
- Why? - Well...
...when our number-one suspect is gone without a trace,
we think it's a good idea to check and see
if he left any clues behind.
That's ridiculous. Cliff wouldn't kill anyone.
Hm.
You know, there's two schools of thought on that.
There's yours... and there's ours.
Make yourself comfortable. We need to have another talk.
- You wanna check the bedrooms? - Yes, sir.
If you need a drink, just help yourself.
Why would I need a drink?
Because now I know a lot more about Mr. Johnny Danzig,
also known as "Dancer," than I did last night.
It's not nice to lie to the police
when we're conducting an investigation.
It's called an obstruction of justice.
- I didn't lie. - You didn't tell the truth.
Like, for instance, you and Mr. Danzig
used to be quite an item in the old days.
Yes, ma'am.
Now you got yourself a new boyfriend.
Maybe you were just trying to protect him.
I don't have to protect Cliff. He didn't do anything.
Nothing we can prove just yet, but...
...he got the living daylights kicked out of him
over at the Oil Barons over some girl
and then he threatened to kill John Danzig.
Threatened to kill him.
And I'll just bet that that girl was you.
Lots of people make threats
they don't intend to carry out.
Yes, ma'am.
And on the other hand, lots of them do.
I believe it's called a crime of passion.
New boyfriend knocks off the old boyfriend
all for the love of a woman.
Or maybe the two of you worked out something together.
At any rate, we sure have motive.
And until we find Mr. Barnes...
...he's not in the clear
and you're not in the clear either.
So don't even think about leaving town.
Larry, Judy. Let's call it a day.
Miss Adams.
Hi.
They told me at the desk you were up here.
You know, I was gonna have my florist
fill this suite full of flowers.
Then I thought it might make me look guilty of something,
so I-I just brought you this.
- How'd it go with James? - [Vanessa] Not well.
He really has turned his back on you.
Now, I'm in the very position I didn't want.
Having to choose.
You won't have to, I promise.
Somehow, I'll make it right between us.
It's more than that.
He suggested I live with you to find out what you're like.
He said the real you would surface soon enough.
Did he tell you what the real me is?
[Vanessa] Nothing very good.
Including the fact that you cheated on Cally,
which, after my experience in Vienna,
rather surprised me.
Well, it's true.
I stayed faithful to her for a long time.
And then the time came when for Ewing Oil,
I had to bed someone to keep the company
from going under and I did.
More than once.
And Cally found out?
Yeah, she did.
But that wasn't the real problem between us.
The point is, I cheated on my wives, both of them.
And you know why?
Because they weren't you.
You're the only woman in the world
I'd ever stay true to for the rest of my life.
And as for James,
I'm gonna do everything to make sure
we get back together again.
That I also promise.
Excuse me, could you tell me where I'd find Bobby Ewing?
- Right in there, ma'am. - Thanks.
Bobby?
Liz, what do you want from me?
I was at Cliff's apartment and the police were there.
He's their number one suspect.
No matter what they think, he didn't kill anybody.
And I still don't know where he is.
You don't give a damn, do you? I thought he was your friend.
He is. What do you want me to do?
You know a lot more about Cliff than I do.
Is there a relative or friend he could be hiding out with?
He doesn't have any family.
Would you help me if I could help you?
[scoffs] Help me what?
Find Sheila Foley.
What do you know about Sheila Foley?
Just that she's the woman you're looking for.
I have government contacts.
Maybe I can find out something you can't.
Why would you have government contacts?
There's lot to looking for Cliff
than just murder, isn't there?
Not exactly. It's very complicated.
Well, why don't you simplify it for me?
Alright. It all started
when I was living in New York a long time ago.
I met a man named Johnny Dancer.
I'm Detective Bussey of the Dallas Police Department.
I wonder if I might have a few minutes of your time?
You certainly may. Come on in.
Is it about anything in particular?
Just a couple of questions about John Danzig.
- Uh, sit down. - No, thank you.
Danzig. Isn't he the guy that was shot at the Quorum?
That's right. We know he was moving into oil industry,
we wondered if you knew him.
I had a meeting with him.
He came to my offices at Weststar.
[Det. Bussey] For what purpose?
Just a general meeting about the health
of the oil industry. Why?
We're talking to everybody
who had contact with Mr. Danzig.
How did Mr. Danzig represent himself to you?
I-I don't understand.
As an individual?
Or perhaps fronting a financial group?
As an individual, wasn't that true?
Hello, darling. Come on in.
This is Detective, uh...
- Bussey. - Bussey.
Pleased to meet you, ma'am.
Detective, is something wrong?
No, just some routine questions.
Except for one rather peculiar thing.
We have witnesses that say they saw you,
Mr. McKay, leaving the Quorum Hotel
shortly after the shooting occurred.
That is strange. I was nowhere near the place.
May I ask where you were last Tuesday night?
Where I am most nights. Tell him, darling.
Here, with me.
- All night? - From about seven or so.
We had some dinner and, uh...
We listened to some music and we went on up to bed.
I see.
Then obviously, the witnesses were mistaken.
Obviously.
Thank you for your time. Mrs. McKay.
[Carter] You're very welcome.
Have a nice day.
Thank you, sir.
What the hell is going on here, Mac?
Were you there? Did you kill that man?
I was right here with you. Just like you told the police.
It was just a case of mistaken identity.
- Right? - Right.
- Hey, Kendall, how you doing? - Fine. How are you doing?
- Ah, never better. - Good.
Hey, Jackie.
Bet you don't have any messages for me, do you?
Nope. I think everyone knows you don't work here anymore.
It's hard to keep a secret in this town. [chuckles]
Well, lookie who does work here, though.
- J.R. had a change of heart? - That's right.
I bet he gave you that nice bonus
he promised you in the letter too.
I don't owe you any explanations.
I'm just surprised it took him this long.
He's got someone in there with him.
Oh, I won't be a moment.
And don't bother calling security.
I'm not gonna hurt him.
Morning, Daddy.
My, look at all the pretty stones.
You're being a little premature, aren't you?
John, would you mind stepping into the outer office, please?
I'd like to speak to my son.
- Of course. - Thank you.
You're still a married man.
Are you that sure my mother's gonna say yes?
Hm.
Are you so sure she's not?
Now, I don't have your vast experience,
but I do know that women can be mighty changeable.
Anyway, I just came over here
to congratulate you on your thoroughness,
and on hiring Sly back.
No wonder you knew I had that information
and had to get your hands on it.
I could hardly have you walking around town
with a loaded gun pointed at me, could I?
It didn't matter much.
Nobody in Dallas wanted it anyway.
I'll just have to think of something else.
[sighs] James...
Hasn't this gone on long enough?
I mean, no matter how I feel about you
or you feel about me, we both love your mother.
Isn't that reason enough to bury the hatchet?
Is it? I know I love her,
but somehow I get the feeling that the only person you love
is the one you see in the mirror when you shave.
So be it.
You're still a smug brat walking with your head
in the clouds, and I'm gonna marry your mama
no matter what the hell you think.
I wouldn't buy that ring just yet. You never know.
Alright, go back to your motorcycle shop
and your dirty fingernails and your cot in the back room.
I hope you'll be happy.
Well, thanks very much, Daddy.
Your blessing is what I came for.
And I'd like to wish you all the happiness you wish me.
But not with my mother.
Oh, Cally.
Thank you so much for coming.
I really needed to talk to you.
- I suppose you did. - Sit down.
I want you to know that I'm truly sorry
that you and J.R. didn't work out.
And that I had no idea there was trouble
when I came here.
I believe that.
Is it James you wanna talk about or J.R.?
I'm not sure.
I've stepped into the middle of a maelstrom.
There are so many conflicting stories.
So many different reasons for what happened.
Cally...
...what went wrong with you and J.R.?
Are you sure you really wanna know?
I suppose it was bound to happen
from the day we got married.
I mean, we never did have anything in common.
But I did everything I could to try to make it work.
I truly loved him with all my heart,
but after a while, I just couldn't live with how he was.
And I knew that he was cheating on me.
It's funny, Sue Ellen, J.R.'s first wife,
warned me what was gonna happen,
but I just wouldn't believe her then.
I guess J.R. just never really did love me enough.
I'll be divorcing him soon.
Has he asked you to marry him?
No. Not yet.
What you gonna do when he does?
I don't know.
I want to, but...
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid it might destroy us.
Maybe not.
Maybe you're the one that can make it work with him.
I think you're the woman that...
...he measured all the rest of us against
and we fell short.
[Cally] You're the one that has what he wants.
Well, I'm not so sure about that,
...but I... I do have his child.
Yeah, but so do I...
You're pregnant?
And J.R. doesn't know?
No. And you better dare not tell him.
But, Cally...
...don't you think he has a right to know?
Did you think he had a right to know about James?
Look, you better hope for both our sakes
that he never finds out, because if he does,
he'll come after my child, and nothing,
and I mean nothing on God's green earth
will be able to stop him,
not even you.
- Yeah? - It's Bobby Ewing.
Come on in.
Michelle, I...
I know that you can love somebody
without really showing it.
I guess maybe you and April
had a relationship like J.R. and I.
And I realize that losing her must have hurt you too.
It did. But thanks for saying that.
I don't want us to be enemies, Bobby.
I haven't been able to find Sheila Foley yet, but I will.
When I do, I need your help.
I'll be here, I promise.
Does that mean you're staying here in Dallas?
Maybe. I don't know.
I mean, just being here at April's seems to help.
And I talk to Mama every day. I'm sending her these things.
It's hard, isn't it?
Talking about her things.
Makes me wanna cry.
I'm sure they're very important to your mama.
April has a few things out at Southfork.
Maybe your mama would like to have those too.
I'm sure she would.
Anytime you'd like to stop by and pick them up, it's okay.
Thank you, Bobby.
If it's okay, I'll stop by tonight.
Fine. I'll be there.
Get out of my office, Dancer.
Or "Danzig,"
or whatever your name happens to be this week.
Not bad.
I haven't even made my first move,
you're already sweating.
I said, get out.
I will for now.
The first thing that gets changed...
...is this office.
I thought you had better taste, Mac.
You make one move to take over my company...
...you're a dead man.
Hm.
I wonder what McKay would give to get ahold of this.
[chuckles] How sweet it is.
- Here you go, Clayton. - Thank you.
- Here's to a safe trip. - Mm.
Anything you boys want me to tell your grandma?
Tell her we love her.
And we miss her and to come on back home.
Hey, we're having too much fun just to rush back.
You boys will do alright on your own
for a while, right, Bobby?
I think they'll survive.
- What time's your flight? - [Clayton] Ten in the morning.
Hi. I hope I'm not disturbing anything.
Uh, this is Clayton Farlow, my son, Christopher...
Christopher, stand up.
...and John Ross.
This is April's sister, Michelle.
- Hi. - I'm sorry about your sister.
- Me too. - Thank you.
I guess it's been bad for all of us.
Are you going to stay and have dinner with us?
I'd love to, but I just came by
to pick up some of April's things.
Oh, yeah.
They're upstairs. Excuse me, boys.
They're upstairs. I'll show you.
Okay.
- I was worried about you. - I'm sorry.
Oh, as long as you're here. The table's ready.
Would you mind if we sat at the bar, J.R.?
- I'm not very hungry. - Of course not.
I'll have another one of these and a glass of white wine.
I tried to call you. Were you out shopping?
No, I had lunch with Cally.
Oh. About anything in particular?
I needed to know, J.R.,
what happened between your honeymoon in Vienna and now.
I told you what happened, Vanessa.
I know. And Cally said many of the same things.
But there were other things.
She'd hardly be unbiased towards me.
She was a lot kinder towards you
than I might have been.
I wonder if we still love each other after all these years
because we've never been together. We've...
We've always had this bittersweet romance,
parting before we got to know one another.
I don't buy that, Vanessa.
I loved you from the day I met you.
Nothing could change that.
Unless you feel differently.
It's so complicated, J.R.
There's so many things to consider.
I know how important children are to you, and if we...
if we do marry, we could never have another child together.
We may not even have our own son with us.
I know that and children are important,
but nothing's more important to me than you are.
I was sitting here thinking of all the wasted years.
If I had known you were pregnant,
I'd never have let you go.
I'd have followed you to the ends of the earth.
And we could have had those years together.
Could we make it an early night?
- Are you alright? - No, I don't feel at all well.
I'll take you home.
It's alright. I have my car.
Vanessa, don't go like this.
I have a lot to think about.
Don't worry, we'll talk soon.
I think this is all of it.
I still feel strange about this.
There's no need to.
Hello. Yeah, speaking.
You did?
I'll be down there first thing in the morning.
They know where Sheila Foley is.
- Where? - In Odessa.
She went back there for some reason.
Take me with you.
Bobby, please.
I'll try and book a flight.
Otherwise, we'll drive down right away.
- Hi, Dad. - Hi, son, how you doing?
Okay. Clayton's leaving to see Grandma tomorrow.
Oh, wonderful.
Any message you want me to give her?
Yeah, tell her I wish she was still single.
J.R., don't start with me.
You were a lot of trouble when you moved in,
I'll be glad when you're gone.
I don't know what's bugging you,
- but don't take it on me. - What's bugging me
is you're in business with McKay.
I'm not. I decided
not to go into partnership with him.
[J.R.] Oh, yeah?
That's the first good news I've heard tonight.
It's not all good news.
I gave him control of my voting rights.
You what?
You just gave him the right to destroy Ewing Oil.
- He's won't touch Ewing Oil. - How do you know that?
- We have an agreement. - You have an agreement?
Boy, you're as dumb as you are big.
J.R., not in front of the boys.
They're entitled to know what kind of a traitor
- their grandmother married. - J.R...
I'm gonna take you apart right now.
- No! - Knock it off! Now stop it!
It's another fight about the oil business.
- Bobby, stay out of this. - He's destroying Ewing Oil.
He'll just save me the trouble.
We're talking about Daddy's company.
J.R., I just buried my wife because of the oil business.
I think it's time I buried Daddy too.
You don't know what you're--
I'm driving to Odessa tonight.
When I get back, I'm selling Ewing Oil.
[J.R.] Bobby.
Bobby!
