- Well? - Well what?
[Jory] I know it was too late last night when we found this
but that pawnshop has to be open this morning.
Yeah, I imagine it probably is.
Why aren't we going to see what this is for?
Because I don't want you any more involved
than you already are.
Ohh. Aren't you even curious?
- I can't stand it. - I'm beginning to think
we should turn the whole thing over to the police.
And tell them what?
That somebody left it in my purse?
Besides, I thought you didn't want me to get involved.
Come on, let's just go see what it is.
We can always tell the police.
You are very bad.
You finally noticed.
Well? Are we going?
[sighs] Yes, we'll go.
Perfect. But let's at least get there before they close.
Good morning.
How come you left so early this morning?
[James] Oh, I didn't sleep home last night.
I was at the motorcycle shop, tuning an engine.
By the time I finished, the engine was really purring.
Why don't you two sit down and join us?
Why don't you introduce us?
Sure, this is DeeDee.
This is my father, J.R., my cousin Christopher
- and this is Michelle. - Mrs. Beaumont.
Well, hey, it's, like, really a pleasure to meet you all.
And James has told me a lot about you.
While you were on a break from engine tuning, no doubt.
Man, why didn't you tell me
you lived in a place like this?
Wow. You must really be rich.
No, no, it's a family ranch.
Oh. [chuckles]
You find it nice, DeeDee?
Oh, are you kidding? This is really hot.
I mean, like, you ought to see the dump I live in.
[chuckles] I can imagine.
Would you like me to show you around?
Yeah, sure.
Come on.
Did James tell you anything about the ranch?
No. Uh-uh.
Well, you know, as far as you can see
is part of Southfork.
- No kidding. - No, I wouldn't kid, DeeDee.
I don't suppose you have a pool at your place.
No, I'm lucky I have indoor plumbing.
- But you do know how to swim? - Oh, yeah, sure.
Didn't anyone ever tell you that it isn't nice
to keep a married man out all night long?
Especially my married man.
Oh!
Now, that is no way to treat my guest.
You wouldn't dare.
Oh, yeah.
You better do something,
they're gonna drown each other.
Get her, James.
Come on.
Things are starting to get fun around here again.
Yeah, just like the good old days.
Just because it's taking forever
doesn't mean you won't get the appointment.
I don't know. This Senator Garrity,
all of a sudden, he's dragging his feet.
He's going back into my past 15 years.
I don't understand, that's got nothing to do with anything.
Senator Garrity?
Did you have trouble with him before?
No. No. I mean, this whole thing just started.
I think I'm getting worried.
Well, just hang in there.
I'm sure you'll get the appointment.
I don't know. I hope so.
I'll talk to you tomorrow. I love you.
I love you too. Bye-bye.
Bye.
Can I give him the ticket?
You are really eating this up, aren't you?
I love it.
Good morning. I already moved all your things into J.R.'s.
Ah, I mean, your new office.
[chuckles] Thanks. Are there any messages?
Michelle wanted to see you as soon as you got in.
You mean "Mrs. Beaumont."
Yes. Mrs. Beaumont would like to see you.
Fine. Tell her I'm in my office.
How could you do that to me?
Do what? Throw you in the pool?
Bring that bimbo to our home. Make me look like a fool.
You didn't need any help from me. [chuckles]
I'm gonna get you for that, James. I swear.
Why? It isn't like we have a real marriage or anything.
And, anyway, it was kind of funny.
- I wondered what you'd do. - You found out, didn't you?
Yeah, it was pretty good. I like your spirit.
How nice. Do you think you're the only one
that can pull something like that?
How would you like to come home and find me
with someone fine-tuning my engine?
Hey, be my guest. I'm not gonna be there much anyway.
You know what?
I think it'd really bother you.
Well, we'll never know, will we?
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a business to run.
Oh, that's funny. That is really funny.
You don't know any more about the oil business than I do.
Let me tell you something. I know a lot.
And what I don't know, I'll learn.
Oh, from whom?
From J.R., that's who.
He's already given me some pretty good tips
and they've all panned out.
Ugh!
Are you that dumb?
Do you really believe
J.R. would do anything to help you?
What he's doing is setting you up for a fall.
You're wrong. For one thing,
J.R. would never do anything to hurt Ewing Oil.
Even our Ewing Oil.
And you know what, neither would I.
I don't believe this.
Well, I'll give you something to believe.
I'm gonna make a success of this, with or without you.
Listen, Einstein, don't push me.
You own 50 percent just as long as we're married.
If you wanna keep it, you'd better clean up your act.
- Any questions? - Yeah.
Is the chlorine from the pool gonna affect your hair color?
Don't get too comfortable, James.
You may not be around for long.
Well, one of us might not be.
- So open it. - It's locked.
We don't have the combination, dear.
How hard could that lock be?
Hold this.
Uh...
Okay.
[Jory] Oh, my God.
What do we do now?
Did you have any idea that Dana was mixed up in this?
I don't think she was.
She just used to go out with big spenders
but she never touched anything. I know that.
Well, now we know what those boys were after.
And we also know that her date
didn't put that pawn ticket in your purse.
without intending to come back for it.
Which means, they sure as hell didn't take some trip
to Acapulco.
- Bobby. - Shh, shh, shh.
[sighs] What do we do now?
Hang on a second.
- What are you doing? - Just hang on.
You get in the car.
I'm gonna put this out of circulation.
Very cool.
Yeah.
[J.R.] Yeah?
Elizabeth Adams is here to see you.
Oh, good. Show her in.
Hi. Good to see you.
Uh, how's Cliff? Have you heard from him lately?
Uh, please, sit down.
I'll stand.
Oh, you're upset. Well, I really can't blame you.
I'm as surprised as you are
that he hasn't gotten confirmed yet.
Why don't you cut the act, J.R.?
I'm willing to sell you Ace Geophysical, all right?
Well, that's wonderful.
But, you know, I've been thinking,
I'm not sure that your company is worth what I first offered
so I may have to lower my bid a bit.
You're good to the last drop, aren't you?
Oh, don't be bitter. We're both gonna get what we want.
Let's just do some business.
I'll have my attorneys draw up the papers.
- They'll be ready tomorrow. - Tomorrow will be just fine.
Oh, they'll be ready but we won't sign them
till the day Cliff is appointed energy czar.
I can understand what Cliff sees in you,
but for the life of me, I cannot understand
what a smart woman like you sees in a clown like that.
Someone worth ten of you.
Well, market values change every day.
Would you like a drink to celebrate our deal?
No, I have to do business with you,
I don't have to drink with you.
But what goes around comes around, J.R.
Someday, Cliff and I will return this little favor.
When Cliff finds out who you sold your company to,
there's not gonna be a Cliff and you.
Damn shame.
Oh, good.
We're still in time for dinner.
James, you remember Derrick.
And this is my father-in-law, the famous J.R. Ewing.
Well, it's a real honor, Mr. Ewing.
I've heard about you for years.
Have you now?
[Michelle] Derrick and I still have a lot of work left.
We just stopped by to have dinner.
We have to get back to the office.
I didn't realize how busy Ewing Oil was gonna keep me.
Shall we go in?
Say, Darren, why don't you go into the dining room?
We'll join you shortly.
It's Derrick.
Whatever. Go on.
Now, I'm gonna tell you two something
and I'm only gonna say it once
so you better pay attention.
My daddy built this house
and there are certain traditions and values
that we live by here.
I won't have you making a mockery of them.
If you're gonna be married, you act married.
And I don't want you showing up here
with some stranger, you understand that?
[Michelle] If you were so outraged,
why didn't you say something
when he brought that bimbo home?
That's simple, honey.
James is a blood Ewing, you're not.
Being a Ewing has certain privileges, and you don't.
Now, you'd better start acting married or get the hell out.
You have my word on it, Daddy.
Good. Let's go into dinner.
You know, I really like that.
[chuckles] I guess family really does mean
- something to you. - [J.R.] Of course it does.
[Bobby] Jory?
Here.
Come on.
I don't want you spending any more time here than necessary.
You still thinking about this afternoon?
No.
Then what is it?
I heard from my mother.
Her plans have changed.
She's not coming for your birthday?
No, she's still coming. It's just that
she only has a few hours between planes.
I got all that dumb food, and I made all these plans for us.
What happened? Why'd she change her plans?
I don't know. Something about business somewhere.
Is she at least gonna arrive at a civilized hour?
She lands at noon and then she takes off again at 2:00,
which means, by the time I get to see her,
I'll be lucky if I spend 15 minutes with her.
God knows when we're gonna see each other again.
Come on, now. At least she's coming.
You know, 15 minutes could be mighty important.
Yeah, I guess it's better than nothing.
If you'd like, I'll drive you to the airport.
- I'd like to meet your mother. - That would be great.
- I'd like you to meet her. - Fine. Then it's settled.
Come on, let's go to dinner. I have an enormous appetite.
I don't wanna be the one
to keep you from your food.
They weren't very happy about it.
Tonight is a really busy night.
Now, you listen to me.
If those guys knew where you lived,
chances are they know where you work.
It's safer if you stay away for a while.
Well, they said I could have the week off.
Good. When we're done with dinner,
I'm gonna check you into a hotel.
Don't you think you're overdoing it just a little?
No, I don't.
Jory, this could be very dangerous for you.
Look, I appreciate everything that you've been doing,
but why are you even getting involved in this?
I mean, we barely know each other
and you're going to an awful lot of trouble for me.
I dunno, maybe it's because
I'm the last of the good guys, huh?
You don't want your mom coming to the airport
and you not being there to meet her, right?
Oh, that's for sure.
So, am I staying at this hotel by myself?
Yes.
And I'm gonna keep an eye
on things at the beach.
You know, what are we gonna do about Kit?
I don't think she should be there either.
I don't think she's gonna be back
for two or three days.
[man #1] Bobby?
What do you say, man? What are you doing in L.A.?
- Hello, Mark, how are you? - Full speed ahead.
I'm sorry about what happened in Paris, man.
Uh, Mark Harris, this is Jory Taylor. Jory, this is Mark.
- Hi. - Hi.
Mark and I met in Paris.
[Mark] Team Ewing.
Only we went broke real fast after you left.
So it was goodbye, Paris, hello, L.A.
Uh, what were you doing in Paris, Mark?
- Are you an exchange student? - Mm-mm.
I was trying to get into the junior Tour de France.
Bobby sponsored us for a while.
- So you're back in school now? - Yeah.
I'm working here to make enough bread
to go back next summer.
But what are you doing here?
I thought you were from Texas.
Well, I'm just trying to get my life back together.
Put things in perspective.
I rented a house at the beach and Jory's my neighbor.
Sounds cool.
Mark, bus Table 5, please.
I'd better get back to work. Good to see you, Bobby.
If you need any help, I hang out
at the point after school.
I got it. I'll see you later.
Team Ewing forever.
What was that all about?
- Mark? - Team Ewing?
What does that mean?
That's what he and his friends called themselves in France.
I never did find out why.
You know, it occurs to me that you know so much about me
and I don't know anything about you.
Like, why were you in France?
Does it ever rain here?
No, not much. Why?
Because that is a rainy-day story.
Why won't you talk about yourself?
All right, all right.
If it's so important to you,
when we finish dinner, I will tell you
the whole Bobby Southworth story.
I'm finished.
Do you mind if I pay for our dinner?
Um, miss? Check, please.
I don't know what you're expecting, Jory,
but I have a feeling you may be disappointed.
I'll be the judge of that.
Things certainly changed fast.
I don't know what happened. All of a sudden,
Garrity is the best friend I've ever had.
I suppose he finally realized
how right you were for the job.
[chuckles] Whatever.
Anyway, congratulations, Mr. Energy Czar.
How soon will you be home?
I'll be home as soon as I possibly can.
I got some things I gotta clean up here.
I gotta look for offices, you know.
- I miss you. - I miss you too.
When I get back, the first thing we're gonna do
is have the biggest wedding Dallas has ever seen.
I love you, Cliff, you know that.
And I love you. I can't wait to see you.
- And I'll call you tomorrow. - Good night.
Now, aren't you glad you called?
I told you they'd confirm him.
And that fills your little heart with joy, doesn't it?
Well, it will, as soon as you sign this sales agreement.
And this fat little check here
is gonna provide you and Cliff with one hell of a honeymoon.
Why was it so important for you to get my company?
It's not very big. It doesn't do anything important.
Well, you have some hardware that's real important to me.
All of our equipment is on lease.
You can't use any of it.
Actually, it's who's leasing it
that's important.
You see, there's a company in Venezuela
called De La Vega Oil.
They're ones that are leasing those drilling platforms.
- So? - So...
when I cancel those leases and yank those rigs,
one Mrs. De La Vega is gonna be sitting on a pool of oil
and she won't be able to get at it.
So you used me and Cliff
just to get some stupid revenge on the woman
who bought your company?
Revenge is never stupid, darling.
It's the single most satisfying feeling
in the world.
Now, if I were you,
I wouldn't tell Cliff that you sold your company to me.
It might not make him too happy.
He's still head of the ORC.
There's no way he won't find out.
Yeah, I guess I did kill two birds
with one stone, didn't I?
But as dumb as Cliff is,
I'm sure you'll be able to convince him
that it was all for the best.
Kit.
- Kit, are you all right? - Oh, God. I guess so.
- What happened? - I don't know exactly.
Sit down. Sit down right here.
We were sitting here talking and these guys broke in.
- Wait a minute. Was Jory here? - Yeah.
She came by to get her car and some clothes.
- Did they take her? - I guess so.
One of them hit me with something
and all I remember is her yelling.
Did one of them have his hair in a ponytail?
- Yeah. - I knew it.
What do they want with her? Do you know?
Should we call the police?
Yeah, I will, but I wanna get you to the hospital first.
- I'm all right. - I'm not gonna take chances.
I'm really worried about Jory.
Come on.
Ta-dum.
May I have the pleasure of introducing to you...
the next energy czar of these United States?
The right man for the right job,
that's what I always say.
And I say I missed the hell out of you.
Come here.
Oh...
Welcome home.
Home?
Mm-mm. No, this isn't a home.
I have to make arrangements to sell this place
because home is gonna be Georgetown.
Maybe Virginia.
Sounds good to me.
Why don't you open the champagne
and we can start the celebration?
Because I've made reservations
at the best restaurant in Dallas.
We're gonna go there, have a nice dinner,
and a long talk about guest lists
and invitations and wedding gowns--
- Right now? - Yeah, right now, yeah.
And we have to talk about a honeymoon.
Go someplace special. Maybe a cruise.
You pick the place.
Well, I'll really have to think about it.
Don't take too long. Time's wasting.
I'm moving out, Bobby. I don't want any part of this.
Jory said you were out of town
or I'd have moved you into the same hotel with her.
A lot of good it did her.
I'm sorry.
But when you found those drugs,
you should have called in the cops right then.
Yeah, maybe so,
but I was trying to keep Jory from getting involved in this.
Why? Why do you even care?
What aren't you telling us?
Shh.
All right, who's there?
[male #2] Bro, your name's Southworth?
[Bobby] Come on up in the light.
Come into the light.
Oh, easy, man.
If you're Southworth, I got something for you.
- What is it? - A letter.
Some dude gave me ten to deliver it.
So, like, you want it or not?
Hey, could you point that thing somewhere else?
It's fine right where it is. Hand me the letter.
Later, dude.
Are you a narc or something?
Did you use Jory to get these guys?
No, I never expected anything like this to happen.
What is it? A ransom note?
They know I took something that belongs to them.
They want it back or a half million dollars.
A half a million dollars?
[scoffs] Who's got that kind of money?
I can get it.
They want me to meet them tomorrow with the money.
They'll trade Jory for it.
But they want me to meet them at noon.
What's wrong with that?
That's when her mother's plane lands.
What difference does it make?
Yeah. That sounds great. Yeah.
Yeah, I got it all.
Yeah, it sounds like a great idea.
- What was that about? - It was J.R.
He was just giving me the names of companies
that he thought would be perfect for Ewing Oil.
Again.
Well, don't expect to use any of my money
to buy something J.R. recommends.
Oh, this is on the up and up. I guarantee it.
You two are really buddy-buddy now, aren't you?
Yeah.
And if you don't like it, that's too bad.
Well, we'll see if it's too bad or not.
Don't bother hurrying home tonight, I have some plans.
- Pretty good evening, huh? - Mm-hm.
I'll tell you, I think everybody knows.
I've only been to that restaurant twice
and we got the best table in the house.
One of the benefits of being the energy czar.
- How about a brandy? - Yeah, why not?
I wish old Ewing could have been there to see that.
No, I don't. To hell with him. [chuckles]
He's gonna love it that I resigned from the ORC.
Oh, I'm sure.
One thing I've been thinking about
simply because I cannot have a conflict of interest,
you're gonna have to move on selling
your brother's company.
Well, in that case, I have some good news.
- I've already sold it. - You did?
Wow, you were a busy girl when I was gone.
- Did you get a good price? - Pretty good.
- Who'd you sell it to? - J.R. Ewing.
No, you didn't.
What difference does it make who I sold it to?
Because you know how I feel about him.
Now he's spreading it around
that you had to sell the company and he bought it,
just so he could stick it to me again.
He paid a lot of money just to one-up you.
I guarantee you he'd think it was worth it.
How could you sell it to him? Are you just stupid?
I just did it, all right?
- Now can we drop it? - No, we can't drop it.
Why did you sell it to him?
I could've found you a buyer. Why did you sell it to him?
I did it for you.
You did it for me? That's so much crap.
J.R. got to Garrity.
And the only way you were going to get your appointment
was if I sold him my company.
I can't believe that.
Well, it's true.
I earned that job.
I was the best man for that job.
That's right, you were.
No.
J.R. was the best man.
The one thing that I thought I had earned all by myself
and you had to get it for me.
And you had to give in to J.R. to do it, and he knows it.
- And he knows it. - So what?
Is that all you really care about,
you and J.R. playing your stupid games?
Well, I am not gonna be caught in the middle anymore.
You know, I thought we really had something special,
but I was wrong. You are just as mean
and as small as he is.
And you're not the man
I wanna spend my life with.
Why don't you put that back
in the Cracker Jack box
where you found it?
Why won't you just stay out of my life?
Is your shower broke?
I don't know, I didn't try it.
What the hell are you doing in here?
I wanted to ask you a question.
Yeah?
James thinks I'm putting on weight.
What do you think?
I think you're a conniving little bitch.
I'm finally getting my son back,
and if you think a night with you
is more important than that,
then you're also a stupid little bitch.
I know what your problem is.
You're afraid you can't handle somebody like me.
I can handle you by booting you off Southfork
if you ever try a stunt like this again.
I don't think so.
I know you.
Maybe not tonight...
but one of these days.
Lieutenant Harrigan, please.
Lieutenant Harrigan? My name is Bobby Ewing.
We met a couple of years ago.
A little run-in with a man named B.D. Calhoun.
Yeah, well, I know you didn't take very kindly to it
but I need your help.
I have an appointment to keep tomorrow
and I think you'd better be there.
[Dana] Bobby.
Bobby.
Bobby, oh, God. I thought I missed you.
- Okay, are you all right? - Yeah, it was awful.
Have you seen Jory?
I'm so sorry that I got her involved in all this.
I swear, I didn't know John put anything in her purse.
They're real bad news, Bobby.
I think they killed John.
Jory's all right,
but they brought me back here to tell you
they're gonna kill her if you don't show up.
Dana, they want me to meet them at a construction site
in the Valley. Now, how far is that from the airport?
- Which airport? - LAX.
Without traffic, I don't know, an hour, maybe more.
All right, listen, I want you to go call the police.
I have a few phone calls to make. Now go call them.
I really am sorry.
J.R., this just arrived for you.
It was sent to Ewing Oil and Jackie forwarded it to us.
- Oh, damn. - Bad news?
Blackie Callahan died.
The guy that found the gusher in Pride?
Yeah, yeah.
The funeral services are tomorrow in Oklahoma.
- I'd better go. - It'd be nice if you did.
- Book me a flight, would you? - Sure.
Well, I hope he died happy.
Hello there, Mr. Barnes. How are you doing?
- Okay. Jackie. - What are you doing here?
Where's Michelle?
- In Bobby's old office. - Yeah.
Is Mrs. Beaumont expecting you?
- Who's Mrs. Beaumont? - That's Michelle.
No, she's not expecting me, but she'll be glad to see me.
[Derrick] Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
- What is this "Mrs. Beaumont"? - It's nice to see you too.
And congratulations, Mr. Energy Czar.
- Oh, yeah. - Who'd have believed it?
You answer my questions, I'll answer yours.
You remember James, J.R.'s son?
He and I got married.
You're kidding me. J.R.'s your father-in-law?
Not that he's happy about it, but, yeah.
You two still don't like each other?
That's a nice way of putting it.
That's good news.
That's good news
because I'm about to cut J.R.'s head off
and hand it to him on a platter.
I thought you might like to help.
Oh, I think I'd enjoy that.
And if we get James along the way, that's fine too.
[Bobby] Ten to one, where are they?
- Mr. Southworth? - That's right.
Do you have something for me?
We have something for each other, and you're late.
Just making sure you came alone.
Where is she?
- Where's the money? - It's in the back of the car.
Move to the front of your car.
That's nice.
Are you okay? It's all right. You're all right.
Get in the car. Get in the car.
[Harrigan] Mr. Ewing.
Mr. Ewing! Wait, Mr. Ewing!
[Jory] Bobby, why'd he call you Ewing?
[Bobby] Hang on, Jory, I'm in a hurry.
Who the hell are you?
That boy in the restaurant, he said something
about "Team Ewing."
- What's going on? - Fastest way to the airport?
- What are you talking about? - Your mother.
I have to get there before she leaves.
I don't understand any of this.
What do you care about my mother for?
And where did you get that money to rescue me with?
- Who are you? - I'll explain everything
when we get to the airport.
Sly, I'll be home tomorrow night.
If anybody needs me, you know where to find me.
[Sly] All right.
Did you send flowers?
Yes, they'll be delivered tomorrow.
Have a good flight.
It's after two. She's gone.
Are you gonna tell me what this is all about now?
You've been lying to me all this time, haven't you?
Your mother and I have some unfinished business, Jory.
But a lot of what I told you is true, about losing my wife,
about trying to get my life back together.
So you didn't rent the house next door by accident,
you wanted to meet me.
You used me to get to my mother?
That's right, I did.
I didn't know a damn thing about you. I didn't care.
Jory.
- Jory. - How could you do that to me?
What did I do to you?
I cared about you and you didn't give a damn.
Didn't I?
When it came down to your mother or you,
who did I choose? Who did I help?
You'll have no idea what that cost me.
Why did it cost you anything?
What is between my mother and you?
I was gonna tell you once, but not now.
Why not?
Because I don't wanna hurt you anymore, Jory.
You take the car home.
I'll have somebody send me my things.
No, please, Bobby, don't just leave it like this.
Don't just walk away from me.
When you see your mom again,
maybe she'll tell you what all this is about, but I can't.
But you can tell her one thing for me.
Tell her Bobby Ewing saved your life.
Goodbye, Jory.
