You allowed that marriage to fall apart.
I'm going to put it back together again.

Nobody can do that
except Sue Ellen and J.R.

Just watch me.

- My offer to buy you out stands.
- You can take your offer straight to hell.

I love Sue Ellen.
You can't keep me from her.

Then nothing I said got through to you.

Now that I'm here,
things are going to change.

I'm going to see to it
that you get what's coming to you.

I've decided to accept
Jeremy Wendell's offer.

- You're finally getting your revenge.
- This is no longer open for discussion.

I know the selection committee's
been working on this for quite a while...

...but I'd like to nominate someone who
I truly feel deserves the honor this year.

Well, it's awfully late to be
bringing this up, J.R.

The Oil Baron's Ball
is just around the corner.

Yes, I realize that.

I wish I'd thought of it sooner, but
sometimes you don't think of these things...

...when you figure
next year will do just as well.

Why won't next year do?

Lt'll be too late.

It's already too late for this gentleman
to appreciate it.

I'd like my brother Bobby
to be the oilman of the year.

You know we all respected Bobby.

But I'm not sure that's reason enough.

We ordinarily give the award
for a special achievement of some kind, J.R.

Yes, yes, I realize that.

But often it's given for a lifetime
body of work in the industry.

- Now, that's true but, uh...
- But what?

Certainly the length of the lifetime
doesn't make any difference.

Well, we still have to weigh other factors.

But I will bring his name up
to the committee.

Good, good, I appreciate that.

Thank you for your time.

- J.R.
- Wendell.

What did you have in mind
when you put a tail on me?

Good seeing you too, Jeremy.

I don't know
what you'd find out about me...

...but it's made me
find out something about you.

You're scared.

Wendell, the last time I was scared,
I was 14 years old.

I was facing a wounded mountain lion.
I walked away without a scratch.

Well, you can do the same thing here.

I bear you no ill will.
This is strictly business, J.R.

And my offer to buy you out still stands.

Well, that's very kind of you.

You can take your offer straight to hell.

I'm home. Smells good.

Sounds like
somebody had a good day today.

- Mmm. Pot roast, my favorite.
- Sorry, meatloaf.

That's all right.
Meatloaf, that's my favorite too.

Oh, I gotta tell you.

You should have seen
Mark Graison's face...

...when I told him about
the wild-goose chase...

...that J.R. Sent Pam on
down to Jamaica. Ha-ha-ha.

I mean, there is no chance
that he is gonna let Pam sell...

...Christopher's share of Ewing Oil
back to J.R.

Because there was smoke
coming out of Mark's ears.

It always comes back to J.R.
And Ewing Oil, doesn't it?

What do you mean?

Somebody broke into
Jack's apartment last night.

Yeah? What did they take?

- Nothing.
- Well, what's the use of breaking in?

Jack thinks it had
something to do with Ewing Oil.

You didn't have anything
to do with it, did you, Cliff?

No, of course not. Why would I?

You know, he's on our side.

But it does make me wonder
what someone thinks they're gonna find.

What's Jack got
that they could blackmail him with?

Well, I don't know, and neither does he.

Hmm.

Well, someone thinks
he's hiding something.

- Well, who's winning?
- Your father is.

I can't seem
to keep my mind on the game.

- Now, don't start making excuses.
- Well, I won't hold you up long.

I just came by to tell you
that I'm leaving for Cheyenne.

It's time for the final divorce hearing and
it's also time that I, uh, dealt with it.

Well, I think you're doing
the right thing, son.

And when that's all done,
I'm gonna come back here for Sue Ellen.

Then nothing I said got through to you.

I respect what you said, Miss Ellie.

I know that you said it in what you felt
was Sue Ellen's best interest.

I just don't happen to agree with you.

I know that she needs me
to help her get better.

What she needs,
she's getting at the clinic.

And no one can help her with that
except herself.

That may be true. But what's
gonna happen when she gets out?

She does have a husband, Dusty.

J.R. Will be around to handle things.

Exactly.

That's why I'm gonna be around too.

I love Sue Ellen.

You can't keep me from her.

Mark, I'm also your doctor.

I mean, you could've had this Dr. Matsuta
call me from the clinic and let me know.

I couldn't. We had to make sure
that the treatment was working.

Look, I went halfway
around the world for help.

I wanna do something
right here now to benefit other people.

I wanna fund a research center
to specialize in unusual blood diseases.

That will cost you a fortune.

Well, I can't think of anything
I'd rather do with my money.

And I want you
to head up the whole thing.

- Oh, I'm flattered.
- Well, you ought to be.

So, do we have a deal?

You'd better let me think that over.
It's a big step for me.

It's the only way to take life, Jerry.
In big steps.

I finally found that out
when I realized my own mortality.

Mark...

Is that what you were thinking when
you decided to come back into Pam's life?

You're thinking that was selfish of me
after what I put her through?

And not knowing
what the future would bring?

Now, look, I'm not gonna tell you
I didn't want to see her again.

God knows I missed her.

But she was in trouble.

That's really the reason
I came back to her.

I let her believe I was dead for a year.

I would've stayed away forever if I thought
my coming back would hurt her in any way.

Does she know
that you're not fully cured?

- That you're in remission?
- I've been honest with her.

I've told her there are no guarantees.

But feeling as good as I do right now...

...I am willing to believe that
if I've lived this long, I'll live forever.

Forever.

If you're willing to go on believing that,
I'm willing to go right along with you.

Your next patient is here, doctor.

So, about the research center,
you'll give me your answer soon?

I'll give you an answer right now.
It's yes.

I knew you'd see it my way.

- We'll talk soon, Jerry.
- You bet.

Why do I drink?

Now, that's a good question, doctor.

And it's been a good question
every time someone asks me.

Even when you've asked me.

Are you any closer to an answer?

- My father was an alcoholic.
- So you said.

Did your other therapist
let you get away with that as an answer?

Who would you like to blame this time?

I'm not blaming him.
I'm just trying to explain it.

You think the fact that your father
was an alcoholic explains why you are.

Do you just wish it did?

I don't know.

I really don't know.

The whole thing is so perverse.

I hated the smell of alcohol.
I hated everything it represented.

My father drank away
all of his chances for success.

And all of my mother's chances
for success went with him.

And now I'm doing the same thing.

Your mother. Let's talk about her a little.

- What's there to say?
- I don't know.

Just tell me something about her.

I did already.

My father drank away everything
that she wanted out of her life.

Money, prestige, social position.

So she did the next best thing.

She raised me to have that kind of life.

She raised me to marry
somebody important.

To love, honor, and obey.

And she made it very clear to me
that if I couldn't love and honor...

...I could sure as hell obey.

That's valid, Sue Ellen.

Years ago,
a lot of women thought that way.

But the world has changed.

Not for her.

And not for me. It's all I know.

I was raised to be the best thing
that ever happened to a husband.

She just neglected to tell my husband.

Did your husband ever cheat on you?

Yeah, I know.

I know we're here to talk about me. Hm?

Well, let me tell you something.

There is nothing in the world
more degrading...

...than knowing your husband is sleeping
with every tramp there is in Dallas.

Then why do you stay with him?

Oh, doctor.

You forgot.

I'm the perfect wife.

Actually, I did divorce him once.

Then I let him talk me into
marrying him again.

Why did you let that happen?

Because the plain truth of it is...

...that I don't know anything
other than being J.R. Ewing's wife.

Pathetic, isn't it?

Are you blaming your husband now?

Well, why shouldn't I?
It's his fault, isn't it?

Is it?

Is it your husband's fault?

Or is it your father's fault?

Or is it your mother's fault?

You think it's my fault.

Sue Ellen, I think it doesn't matter
whose fault it is.

What matters is where you go from here.

Well, that's all well and good...

...but the figures I'm looking at just don't
add up the way I think they ought to.

Well, I hired him
on your recommendation.

Maybe we should think about
replacing him.

No, I'll just have to come down
at the end of the week...

...and we'll sit down
and interview people together.

Right.

I'll see you then.

May I help you?

Well, I hope so.

- I'm, uh...
Patricia.

Ellie.

I just got back to the States,
and I came because I heard about...

- I hope I'm not intruding.
- No, no, of course not.

You haven't met my husband,
Clayton Farlow.

Clayton, this is Patricia Shepard.
Sue Ellen's mother.

- How do you do?
- How do you do?

Oh, Ellie,
I'm so sorry to hear about Bobby.

Such a tragedy. He was a special person.

And I know
Sue Ellen loved him very much.

Uh, where is she? Is she home?

No, Patricia. Sue Ellen's not home.

She's at the Meadowlark Sanitarium.

Why? What happened?

She's in an alcoholic recovery program.

You know that she had a drinking problem
for quite some time.

I don't know anything of the sort.

You've been away for a long time.

Clearly I've been away too long.
I've got to go and see her right away.

No, they're not letting her have
any visitors yet.

I'm not a visitor. I'm her mother.

They'll let me see her.

- Where is John Ross?
- He's playing in his room.

You can go right up and see him
if you'd like.

Thank you, I will.

So that's Sue Ellen's mother.

- You don't seem to like her much.
- I don't.

That woman's never
been anything but trouble.

Why did you have somebody break into
my apartment and go through my things?

- What are you looking for?
- You're barking up the wrong tree, Jack.

Am I?

You had me fooled by all that talk about
us being family and how important that is.

Because if this is the way you treat family,
I don't want any part of it.

Now, wait a minute. Just hold on here.

If somebody broke into your apartment,
that's a matter for the police.

But I assure you,
I had nothing to do with it.

While I'm thinking about it...

...you might wanna have a little talk with
that brother-in-law of yours, Cliff Barnes.

And that good buddy of his,
Jeremy Wendell.

Yeah, they're not above
pulling a stunt like this.

You have any idea
what they're looking for?

No, I don't have a clue.

I apologize, J.R.
I shouldn't have accused you.

That's all right. I know how upsetting
something like this can be.

Why don't I give you
that tour I promised you, huh?

Oh, not right now.
I've got someplace to go.

Get back to what you were doing.
Talk to you later.

All right, all right.

Pete? J.R. Ewing here.

Say, you're getting sloppy, boy.

How dare you let Jack Ewing know
you broke into his place?

I mean, I thought you were a pro.

You what?

Well, if you didn't, find out who did.

And why.

I've had it. I'm going back.

So go back.

Don't they ever let up at this place?

Ohh. I haven't had a minute alone
since 6 this morning.

Aren't you sick of it?

What I am sick of
is your constant complaining.

That's all you've done all morning.

I don't know why you're here.

But I'm here to get well.

And I plan to do whatever it takes.

I wanna get well.

- But I'm scared.
- I'm scared too, Barbara.

Look, I've been here
almost two weeks, and I'm still scared.

Why don't we try
to just get through today?

And then we'll work on tomorrow.

Thanks.

I'm not used to asking for help...

...but I think I'm gonna need yours.

And I'm not used to giving it...

...but I'll do all I can do.

Let's run. Come on.

- Go fish.
- All right.

Now...

Uh...

- Eight? No.
- Patricia.

- Daddy!
- Hi, son.

J.R., how are you?

- Well, it's a surprise finding you here.
- I just got in today.

I came because I heard about Bobby...

...and now, of course,
I've heard about Sue Ellen.

Yes, yes.

Son, it's about your bedtime.

Why don't you go upstairs
and put your pj's on?

I'll come up and tuck you in,
what do you say?

- I don't wanna go to bed.
- You do like I say.

- Oh, Daddy.
- Good night, sweetheart.

- Go on, son.
Go on.

- My, he's growing up so fast.
- Yes, he is, isn't he?

How have you been, J. R?

As well as can be expected, I suppose.

J.R., I want to talk to you
about Sue Ellen.

Yes, I guess you do.

All right, where do you want to begin?

Well, needless to say,
I'm very distressed about the situation.

I know that you gave
Sue Ellen the best care possible.

Well, I've tried. Lord knows I've tried.

We've known each other a long time, J.R.

I think I know you well enough
that we can be honest with each other.

Yes, I hope so.

I want to know
what's going on around here.

Sue Ellen's drinking
must've been a terrible strain on you.

Some men in that situation
might use it as an excuse...

...to have another woman on the side.

I did.

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I did.

Patricia, hell, I'm only human.

When Sue Ellen finds
all the comfort she needs in a bottle...

...I have to find all my comfort
someplace else.

I don't know what went wrong
with my daughters.

I raised them to be perfect wives,
perfect mothers.

I'll never understand
what happened with Kristin.

But Sue Ellen...

Sue Ellen was everything
I wanted her to be.

I was the happiest mother on earth...

...when she told me
she was going to marry J.R. Ewing.

Well, I'm sorry things didn't work out
as you planned.

All I ever wanted
was for you two to be happy.

We were. For a while, we were.

Not now?

You're not saying that your feelings
for Sue Ellen have changed?

I ache for her.

I ache for what she's going through.
But I can't say we still have a marriage.

Well, every marriage has problems. Uh...

Daddy?
- Nothing is impossible when two...

Daddy?
- Oh, would you excuse me, please?

Damn.

- Well, we should go dancing more often.
Yeah. Mm-hm.

I'm gonna go to the ladies' room. Jamie?

Sure, I'll join you.

I wonder why they always go in pairs.

Ha-ha-ha. It's in their genes, that's why.

Mark, have you given
any more thought to Wendell?

Is that all you ever think about, business?

Hey, look, this is important.

The sooner Pam makes up her mind, the
sooner you can make plans for your future.

Can't you see this indecision
is tearing her apart?

Fine, I'll call Wendell
and set up a meeting.

I'll call him, I'll call him. Yeah. Mm-hm.

- Anytime good?
- Whenever.

I just hope his deal is better than J.R.'s.

I'd like never to lay eyes
on that bum again.

After you meet with Wendell,
you'll never have to.

- Is his deal that good?
- That good, yup. Mm-hm.

Yeah.

Really.

Jenna, you can't possibly stock
an entire store in one day.

Besides, my feet are killing me.

If your feet are hurting you
after only two hours...

...you're not gonna be much help to me.

Do you really plan to buy
everything today?

I wanna reopen the boutique
as soon as possible...

...and I can't do it
without a full inventory.

Let's go this way.
There's a line I wanna check.

- It's out of Los Angeles.
- Okay.

This is it.

Well, do you think after we do this
we might get a bite to eat?

You're going to gain 100 pounds
with that baby.

Oh, no, I'm not. You just wait and see.

This place is huge.

Sure is. You think
we're gonna be able to find your mom?

I don't know.

Oh, my gosh.

- This is incredible.
- You like that, huh?

I think it's disgusting.

Ha-ha-ha! You think it's disgusting?

Come on.

Charlie, what are you doing here?

Well...

And Charlie thought you might be hungry.

Oh, you did, did you?

- Where's Donna?
- She's inside, sitting.

I'll get her.

Donna? Come on out.

Well, hi, you guys.

- How you doing?
- Fine, thank you.

It seems that we have
an invitation for lunch.

- Oh, hallelujah.
Come on, let's find a restaurant.

I'm with you.

Well, um...

Uh...

Shall we? Mosey this way.

I think we should.

- Nice-looking piece of land, Ray.
- Thank you, sir.

It sure is. You and Donna
must be so excited.

Yes, we are. Finally gonna build us
just the kind of house we always wanted.

I'm so happy for you.

Now, show me again
where the baby's room is gonna be.

Well, it's gonna be right over here,
right next to our bedroom.

Donna doesn't want to miss a sound.

Have you started talking
about names yet?

Yes, well, uh...

We thought if it was a boy,
we'd kind of like to name him after Bobby.

That would've made Bobby
very happy, Ray.

Clayton, I'm a little tired.
Maybe we ought to get back.

All right, sure.

Uh, Miss Ellie,
I hope this isn't a bad time...

...but I need to talk to you
about Jeremy Wendell.

Not now, Ray.

No, no. Now's as good a time as any.

What is it, Ray?

I don't mean to pressure you
but he's pressuring me for my answer.

- Then tell him what it is you decided.
- I'd rather not, I'd stand by your decision.

No, I don't want that.

It doesn't make any difference to me,
just tell me which way you're gonna go.

Ray, you decide for yourself.
I simply can't be your conscience.

I'm not asking that.

- It's just that...
No, Ray.

Decide for yourself.
I don't know what the answer is.

To anything.

Thank you, Raoul.

Better hurry up, honey.
You're gonna be late.

It's so nice being part
of a big family again.

What is it, Ellie?

It's the invitation to the Oil Baron's Ball.

I just don't think I can handle
going this year.

But I guess I can't put off
meeting with Jock's scholarship committee.

I've got to make the final selection.

Well, of course we're gonna
go to the Oil Baron's Ball, Mama.

I'll book a table in the name of Ewing Oil
like I have for the last 20 years.

And once you've selected
those four lucky kids...

...that are gonna win Daddy's scholarship,
we won't have to worry about this anymore.

- Because we won't be oil barons.
- J.R.

No, it's true.

Once my family is finished
selling me out...

...there's not gonna be any Ewing Oil.

Ahem. Come on, kids.
Let's get ready for school.

No, no, no. You just sit there
and enjoy your breakfast.

I'm gonna go down to my office,
while I still have an office.

Now that we're finally together,
let's get down to business.

I want to make it clear to you
what my involvement is with this matter.

Cliff told me you're Pamela's advisor.

Jeremy, Pam's been under
a lot of pressure lately...

...and Mark's great business experience,
he offered to help out.

Well, I'm well aware of Mr. Graison.

Graisco is an impressive financial empire.

I am here solely
to take your offer back to Pamela...

...to interpret it for her
with no bias on my part.

Oh, you won't need any bias
once she sees the deal.

Now, I can assure you of that.

That's a complete financial package.

I've included Westar's annual reports
for the last 10 years...

...projected earnings for the next 10.

Mark, I think you're gonna see
this is a huge deal, even by your standards.

Yes, it is.

And because we're a publicly held company
rather than a private one...

...the growth potential that Westar stock
can offer Pamela is enormous.

As administrator of her son's estate...

...I'm sure she'll find that
an attractive advantage over other offers.

It's certainly no small consideration.
I'd like to look this over at length.

Hey, I can stay with you on it all day.

Thank you both.

Now, I think
I have some homework to do.

- Mr. Wendell, Cliff.
- I'll ride down with you.

Uh, Wendell...

Hey, I'll ride down with you.

Hey! Can't you hire someone
to do this stuff?

Yeah, but then what would I do?

Turn into some suit
with my boots up on the desk...

...reading reports all day? No, thanks.

Come out here to help or talk?

Well, talk, I guess.

Got a couple of things
that are bothering me.

You seem to have a straight head on you.

Depends on what day you get me on.

You guys go ahead and take a break.

- What's up?
- Well, I ran into Donna and Jenna yesterday.

Well, that's not quite the way I heard it.

What you hear?

I heard that you showed up with Charlie
to take Donna and Jenna out to lunch...

...and all you did was stare at Jenna
like some kind of sick cow.

And how'd Donna say
that Jenna looked at me?

Well, I don't think I'd better answer that.
No telling what you're gonna ask me next.

What do you think?
Am I wasting my time?

No, I just think
maybe it's the wrong time.

Gonna take Jenna a while
to get over Bobby.

- My guess is a long while.
- Yeah, I should have known that.

Hey, what did you ever decide to do
about Jeremy Wendell?

Well, I don't know. It's, uh...
It's pretty tough on me.

On the one hand,
there's my new brother-in-law, Cliff.

And on the other hand,
there's my new family, represented by J.R.

You just ran out of hands.

Miss Ellie. Your third option's
to throw in with Miss Ellie.

You know, Jack, I don't envy you.

Looks like your 10 percent
might be a lot more important...

...than anybody ever thought.

Sue Ellen.

Mother.

Mother, what are you doing here?

When they told me I could have a visitor,
I had no idea that it would be you.

Well, I came as soon as they'd let me.

Here, let's sit down.

- Did someone send for you?
- No.

No, they should have. But no one did.

I came back to Dallas
because I heard about Bobby.

I didn't know about you
until I went out to Southfork.

Mother, I hate for you to see me like this.

Oh, see you like what? You look just fine.

The important thing is
you're getting the help you need.

And now that I'm here, you're gonna
get better all that much sooner.

I am. I am gonna get better.

- For good this time.
- I know you are.

Now, I'm going to get us a house.

And when you get out of here,
we're going to straighten out your life.

- A house?
- That's right.

I'm going to be right here with you in
Dallas until you settle things with J.R.

And how is J. R?

Well, J.R. Is J.R.

Except it seems you're not the only thing
on his mind these days.

Mother, I can't remember the last time
I was the only thing on his mind.

Between Ewing Oil and his girlfriends...

...I always seem to have run third.

But you know something?
I don't care anymore.

You don't mean that. Of course you care.

Now that I'm here,
things are going to change.

I'm going to see to it
that you get what's coming to you.

I didn't raise my daughters to run third.
I raised winners.

Good shot!

Not bad, considering your layoff.

- Buy you a beer?
- Thanks, I gotta meet someone.

- I hope she's gorgeous.
- He's not.

I'll be along in a little while.

Well, it's nice to see you could make it.

Well, I must admit,
I was kind of surprised to hear from you.

It doesn't look like
there's any permanent damage.

Huh? Oh, yeah, well...

No, it's all right.

Listen, Mark, I just want you to know,
I understand why you hit me.

What I did to Pam, making her traipse
all to hell and gone looking for you...

...it was unforgivable,
and I truly apologize.

- It's not for me to forgive, that's up to Pam.
- Yeah, I realize that.

I just want to let you know
how sorry I was.

Be that as it may,
that's not why I asked you out here today.

I want to talk to you about your offer
for Christopher's share of the company.

I thought that's what it might be about,
so I brought you this.

I'm not gonna influence Pam either way.

All I'm gonna do is put your offer alongside
Wendell's and explain the differences.

The decision is up to her.

You don't expect me to believe
you're gonna be impartial.

Well, I don't really care what you believe.

Personalities aren't gonna enter into this
if I can help it...

...because if they did,
I'd tell you to take a hike.

Well, now, Mark, look,
I'm in no position to ask you...

...to let bygones be bygones, so I'm gonna
have to let my offer speak for itself...

...and it's a fair offer, more than fair.

Now, I know that Wendell's offer includes
some stock, and I just can't match that.

So I hope the cash I've come up with
will compensate for it.

Hell, it has to.
It's every penny I could raise.

Now, look, I'm fighting for the company
my daddy left me...

...just as hard as you would fight
for the company your daddy left you.

Now, you don't have to care about that.

But you do care about Pam.

You wouldn't want to see her
make a decision...

...that she'd regret
for the rest of her life.

And you think selling to Wendell
is something she's gonna regret?

Yes, I do. Christopher's Bobby's son.

And Bobby always wanted Ewing Oil
to remain firmly in Ewing hands.

And Pam, in her heart of hearts,
knows that.

You'll see.

Talk to me, Mandy. Talk to me.

We're sorry.

The number you're calling
is not in service at this time.

We're sorry. The number you're calling
is not in service at this time.

We're sorry. The number you're calling
is not in service at this time.

Mandy, this can't go on any longer.
You let me in here. I need you.

Come on, this can't go on anymore.
Let me in.

You let me in,
or I'm gonna kick this damn door in.

Well, I'll be damned.

Lunch was wonderful. And so were you.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate
what you've done.

I didn't have the strength
to sort through all this on my own.

Well, I am sorry
I couldn't do any more for you...

...than show you
how the numbers lined up.

You are gonna have to make
the final decision yourself.

I know that.

But you know, it's more than just
how the numbers line up.

A lot of people are involved,
their lives are gonna change...

...according to my decision.

I hope you don't spend too much time
worrying about what this means for J.R.

You said yourself
that you sympathize with his position.

Well, I do. But that doesn't mean
I sympathize with him.

And Wendell's bottom line figure's
a lot more impressive.

Well, it's more than J.R., Mark.
It's the whole family.

The Ewings.

I was a part of that family
for a long time.

I mean, I've gotta consider
what Bobby truly would've wanted.

Well, I've gotta get going. Bye.

I thought I heard you come home,
Mrs. Ewing.

Mommy, look what I made.

Oh, sweetheart! That is terrific!

What's that?

These?

They're just some papers.

Just some papers.

There you are.

I have accepted your hospitality
long enough, Ellie.

Thank you for letting me stay.

You're Sue Ellen's mother.

And as her mother...

...I have to tell you how deeply disturbed
I am about her being in that sanitarium.

We're all unhappy about it.

But she's there to get
the help she needs.

The point is, why does she
need help from strangers?

Because her problem got out of hand.

And where were you
when all this was happening?

Sitting at the head of the big
Ewing dinner table and watching?

I don't deserve that!
I did everything I could for Sue Ellen.

Everything but keep
our children's marriage together.

How in the world
did you expect me to do that?

When Sue Ellen married into the Ewings,
I was thrilled.

But now the Ewings
aren't even a family anymore.

No wonder she started drinking
so heavily.

Stop, Patricia.

I thought I could count on you.

But I can see now that if anyone's
going to take care of my daughter...

...it's going to be me.

That's been the trouble all along.

Sue Ellen is a grown woman.

She shouldn't need anyone else
running her life.

You're just making excuses.

You allowed that marriage to fall apart.

I'm going to put it back together again.

Nobody can do that except
Sue Ellen and J.R.

Really?

Just watch me.

Ha-ha-ha. All right, Christopher,
you take your nap like a good fella.

We won't be disturbed here.

You sound serious.

Real serious.

J.R., there is no way to make this easy,
so I'm just going to say it.

I've decided to accept
Jeremy Wendell's offer.

- No, you can't do that.
- J.R., please.

I want you to know my reasons...

...and that this has nothing to do
with you personally.

- It has everything to do with me personally.
- No.

The person it has to do with
is Christopher.

Now, I've thought this through.

And I realized that his future
can be my only consideration.

How about the future of his family,
the Ewings?

If you sell out to a stranger,
you'll destroy that family.

I feel very deeply about that.
You know how I loved Bobby.

If I thought for one minute I was
doing something he didn't want me to do...

...we wouldn't even be talking.

But when Bobby left his share
of Ewing Oil to his son...

...he wanted only the very best for him.

Now, your deal is a cash offer.
Wendell has matched that...

...and he's offering stock
that will continue to grow in value.

The hard fact is that Westar's offer
is substantially better than yours.

The hard fact is, you don't give a damn
about the Ewings anymore.

I'm sorry, J. R...

...but this is no longer open
for discussion.

It took me a long time
to make this decision...

...and I'm going to stand by it.

- You're finally getting your revenge.
- No.

No, I'm not doing this to hurt you.

I'll try to remember that.

That's the best chili I've ever tasted.

That is, since the last time
you cooked chili.

Ha-ha. Are you saying it's been too long?

Hello.

I'm sorry to bother you at this hour.

But I must remind you that I am still
waiting for your response to my offer.

I can't wait much longer.

I'm, uh... I'm not trying
to be difficult, Jeremy.

Pamela Ewing called me a short while ago.
She's decided to accept.

So your holding out won't change things.

I understand.

- Then I can expect to hear from you shortly?
- Yes, you will.

Good night.

Why didn't you tell him?

I just wanted one more chance
to think it over.

He said that Pam's agreed to sell to him.

Well, that must have been
very difficult for her.

Ellie, you've always had good instincts.

Don't be afraid to go with them.

It means a lot to hear that from you.

Then it's settled.

I've got to go to J.R. And tell him
that I'm selling to Jeremy Wendell.

I gave it everything I had, Bobby.

Nobody on Earth tried as hard as I did.

I...

I tried to make them see.

They just didn't understand.

You understood, Bobby.

You knew what Ewing Oil meant.

You and...

And Daddy and I.

You and Daddy.

But what difference does it make
if there's no more Ewing Oil?

It wouldn't be the same anyway.

But why did you have to leave me alone
to see this?

Why am I at fault
for the end of Ewing Oil?

Well, there's nothing
for me here anymore.

Maybe I should just pick up
John Ross and leave Southfork.

Go someplace new for both of us.

Someplace...

...where nobody ever heard
the name Ewing.
