Why don't you just write it off, Bobby?
Write Ewing 23 off.

No matter what it costs
to get it producing again. it's worth it.

The potential yield on Ewing 23
is 30 or 40 million dollars.

What I want is for you to slow down.
and that's what the bank wants also.

I could transfer 12 million
from Ewing accounts.

My daddy's gonna be looking for
$10 million in liquid capital pretty soon.

What do you think will happen
when he takes it?

I don't know.

Yeah. I do.

Why don't you just write it off, Bobby?
Write Ewing 23 off.

You'd like that. wouldn't you. J.R.?

Then you could cut Cliff Barnes
right out of his share.

It'll only take a few hundred thousand
to get 23 back in production.

Those figures are a little short, Bobby.

You know. Bobby. the first thing
you got to do is put out those fires.

I've seen wells that burn for years.

No matter what it costs
to get it producing again. it's worth it.

The potential yield on Ewing 23
is 30 or 40 million dollars.

In a few years. but right now a lot of
Ewing assets are going up in flames.

Doesn't your family ever talk about
anything besides money?

Not very often.

J.R.. if you'd done what I said.
none of this would've happened.

What does that mean?

It means I asked you to bring
the money to Ewing 23.

Extortion money.

If you had. there'd be no fire...

...we'd be in production.
and a life wouldn't have been lost.

You don't give $5 million to terrorists.
They spend it all in the wrong places.

I bet you even Lucy's young man knows
you don't give $5 million to terrorism.

I don't understand that kind of money.

There's nothing to understand.
Money's money.

Do we have to talk about this now. J.R.?

That's enough business.
I believe it's time for dinner.

Shall we?

Jock. please make an effort.
Talk to him.

- Talk to who?
- Lucy's young man. He's a nice boy.

Well. what in the hell have I got
to talk to a parking lot attendant about?

He's working himself
through medical school.

That's good.

Southfork. Bobby Ewing.

Pam. lt's your detective.

Thank you.

Hello. Mr. Mackey?

Mrs. Ewing? I believe I have some news.

You found something?

Yes, ma'am, I believe I did.
I'm down here in Houston...

...tracking down a lead on your mother.

I believe I can tell you for certain
that she isn't dead.

- Mrs. Ewing?
- Yeah. would you go on?

The woman's living
right here in Houston.

Mr. Mackey. are you sure
this woman is my mother?

Well, ma'am,
I'm about as sure as I can be.

What I'd like you to do is
to come on down here to Houston...

...the first chance you get.
I'll fill you in on the details.

Then you can go have
a look at her for yourself.

You think you can do that?

Yes. I'll be on the next plane.
Thank you.

- Goodbye. Mrs. Ewing.
- Goodbye.

Honey. you're all wound up.
You hardly touched your dinner.

Don't leave tonight. Wait till morning.

Bobby. I've waited all my life
to see this woman.

Well. it would be better for you
if you saw her when you were calmer.

What if Mackey made a mistake?

Or she might not be
the kind of woman you think.

I don't care what kind of woman she is.

My mother's alive. I want to see her.

I just wish I could go with you.

Well. I'm sure the airline
would sell you a ticket.

Honey. I can't leave now. You know that.
Not with the wells still on fire.

Hawthorne' s 'flying 'm
with a crack (ire-shooting crew.

There's too much going on
for me to leave.

There always is lately.

Now. wait a minute.
You know what Ewing 23 means to us.

Means to you. not to us.

I have to be here to make sure
nothing else goes wrong.

Look. Bobby. I understand.

I don't wanna burden you
with my problems, okay?

- Will you be home by Wednesday?
- Probably. Why?

It's this fundraising thing for Dave Culver.
Daddy would like us to be there.

Well. I'll be home then.

I wouldn't want to disappoint
your family.

But why?

We don't belong together.
Everything about us is different.

Well. Mitch. that's what
makes it interesting.

I mean. I'm sick of everybody always
being the same. Aren't you?

Your family doesn't like me.

- They don't even know you.
- They don't approve of me.

Don't be silly.

And to tell you the truth. I don't
give a damn whether they do or not.

You hardly know them.

Come on. it'll just take some time.

No.

It's money and power.
that's what they respect.

I'll never have that.

Yes. you will.
With me there to help you, you'll get that.

I don't want that.

See. that's what you and your family
don't understand. I don't want that.

Okay. Well. all right then.
we'll live without it.

Lucy. who are you trying to kid?

Mitch. Mitch.

You're not really gonna
walk out on me. are you?

Oh. I'm not walking out on you.

I just want some time to be alone.

I think you and I ought to
stay away from each other for a while.

For how long?

We'll see.

Okay. Okay. fine.

If that's the way you want it.
that's the way you've got it.

Lost another one. did you. sugar?

Hell. I got to hand it to you.
you sure can pick them.

A pansy. a crook.
and an up-and-coming pauper.

You are a veritable magnet
for losers and failures.

I can't do much worse
than Sue Ellen. can I?

Once I tracked down that traveling salesman
your mother left Kingsville with...

...l knew we were on the right track.

And from then. I sent out
a slew of name checks.

And Lord. she must have changed her name
every 20 minutes back then...

...the last being �Rebecca Burke.�

That's what brought you to her?

Well. it's a lot more complicated
than that.

I have my ways of doing things.
Mrs. Ewing.

That's why you're paying me so well.

I can't believe she's really alive.

Is she well?

She looks fine to me.

Have you spoken to her.
told her I'm trying to find her?

No. not yet. I wasn't sure
how you wanted to handle this.

I know I keep asking you
the same question over and over again...

...but are you sure that this
Rebecca Burke is my mother?

Well...

...everything I've been able to put together
points in the same direction.

Even the name.

Rebecca Burke. for example.

People who change their names
generally keep the same initials.

Sometimes even the same first name.

Of course. now that she's married
she has a different last name.

I'm sorry. but I'm very tired.

You must be. Now. look...

...I'll come around tomorrow morning about
9:00 and we'll go take a peek at the lady.

- All right. Thank you, Mr. Mackey.
- Now. don't thank me just yet.

Let's wait till we're sure.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Would you please tell him
I just wanna talk to him. all right?

Okay -

- Damn it.
- Hey.

You don't seem too happy this morning.
Something wrong?

It's nothing. Granddaddy.

What you do. fight with your boyfriend?

No. Well, sort of.

It's nothing important.
We'll make up soon.

Well. maybe it's just as well
that you don't.

Why?

Oh. he's a nice enough boy.
all right. but--

Yes. he is.

Nun--

I just think you could do
a lot better, that's all.

Because I'm a Ewing?

- That's right.
- Well. I don't think I could do better...

...because I think he's as good
as they come.

He's honest. he's smart.
and he's ambitious for all the right reasons.

And I'll tell you something. if he likes me
it's not because I'm a Ewing...

...because he sure doesn't
think much of the rest of you.

Well. hi.

Jordan. I'm sorry I'm late.

That fire on Ewing 23's
got me running like crazy.

- Getting it under control?
- Yeah. except it's costing me a fortune.

Well. we've all had our share
of losses lately. haven't we?

What can I buy you?

Scotch and soda.

I got a proposition for you. Bobby.

One that will more than cover
your losses on Ewing 23.

I must be dreaming.

Are you telling me the cartel
wants to work with Ewing Oil again?

I know we turned you down
on the refinery...

...but you gotta remember, we were
still smarting over that Asian deal.

We've been wrong before.
but now you're running the company...

...the carteI's got nothing
to worry about.

Well. I appreciate that.
I know Daddy would be pleased.

He felt real bad when
you lost out on that Asian deal.

A couple of weeks ago.
Wade and Andy and some of the boys...

...managed to get ahold of some
drilling leases off the Gulf Coast.

They're real hot. Bobby.

Now. we put together a little consortium
and we're about ready to start core drilling.

Each of the six of us
has put up 12 million.

And there's one spot left open.

Now. if we can be absolutely guaranteed
J.R. will be out of the picture entirely...

...we'd be willing to let Ewing Oil in.

- Twelve million dollars?
- Yeah. it's risky...

...but wait till you see the reports.

We figure the potentiaI's on
the order of about 10-1.

A hundred million dollars?

Are you interested?

Well. that kind of money
is always interesting.

But more than making a fortune.
there's nothing I'd like better...

...than to be able to tell Daddy the cartel
and Ewing Oil were back together again.

Give me some time to
check out my cash situation.

Between Ewing 23 and the new refinery.
I've sort of put myself in a cash-flow bind.

I can't wait long.

- A couple of days. that's all.
- That's about it.

No matter what happens.
I appreciate you coming to me like this.

Well. let's see if we can't rebuild
some broken bridges.

I'll drink to that.

She ought to be coming out
anytime now.

There. now.

Door's opening. There she is.

That's her?

She looks so old.

How long has she been working here?

Not the maid. The other lady.

Rebecca Barnes Wentworth.

I can't believe it.

I imagined that she'd be old.
plain and poor.

Maybe even destitute.

Is this her home?

Her and her husband.

Well. how? How did she go from being
a waitress in a greasy spoon to this?

Your mother was a very clever woman.

Now. she knew she wouldn't get out of life
what she wanted by waiting on tables.

So when she got to Houston. she put
herself through a good secretarial school.

She learned stenography. typing,
that sort of thing.

And she was good at it.

When she graduated.
she landed herself a job...

...with the brokerage firm
of Wentworth and Pitts.

She was good. efficient.
and her looks didn't hurt either.

She must have been beautiful back then.

She's nothing to sneeze at even now.

Go on.

After a while, she found her way into
the office of the president himself...

...Mr. Wentworth.
She became his executive secretary.

One thing led to another...

...and sometime after that.
he asked her to marry him.

So Rebecca Barnes Burke became
Mrs. Rebecca Wentworth.

Are they happy?

Well. there's nothing
to indicate otherwise.

Are there children?

Yes. one. a daughter.

Katherine. She lives in New York.

Can I get you a cup of coffee
or something?

No. thank you.

I'd like to go back to the hotel.
If it's all right with you.

Oh. anything you say.

- Howdy. Mr. Ewing.
- How you doing?

All right.

- Nice day. isn't it?
- Sure is. sir.

Okay. They're waiting for you
over at the bar.

- Hello. J.R.
- Hello. Miss Liz. how you doing?

You here to meet your father?

No. ls he here?

He's right over there with
Mr. Powers and Mr. Anderson.

Well. so he is.
Thank you. darling. thank you.

All kidding aside. Jock...

...l guess the point I'm trying
to get across is...

...we can lose the option on that land there
if we don't get off the pot.

- We gotta finish capitalizing now.
- That's right.

I'm leaning toward it, I gotta say that.

I'm just not ready to commit myself.
that's all.

What you gonna commit
yourself for. Daddy?

Well. look who's here!
How you doing. J.R.?

- Hey. Punk.
- Good to see you.

- Good to see you. Pat.
- Pull up a chair.

Anybody using this? Thank you. bud.

Ray. it's a surprise to see you
in the Cattlemen's Club.

I didn't think this place was your style.

Oh. I can stand it every once in a while.

I like that. That's good.

What are these burglars
trying to rope you into, Daddy?

- Nothing much.
- Nothing much. my foot.

We're talking about that swampland...

...on the Texas-Louisiana border
we're gonna turn into a recreation area.

Oh. is that right?

It is. if we can ever get your old man
to come across with his share.

You look surprised.

- Didn't you tell him. Jock?
- No. I didn't.

I'm sorry. Jock.
I didn't know it was a secret.

It ain't no secret.

I haven't decided yet one way or the other.
No use telling the world until I do.

I appreciate that. Daddy.

Every man's got a right
to keep his deliberations private. huh?

Thank you. Claudine.

How much these old boys
want you to come in for?

Ten million.

Ten million? ls that a fact?

I don't know. The way Bobby's been
spending money these days...

...l honestly don't know
if we have enough to invest.

What the hell you talking about?

I haven't been in the pilot's seat
for some time. as you all know...

...but I've been able to observe
that there's a lot going out...

...and not a hell of a lot
coming in. you know?

Let me tell you something. J.R.

The day that Ewing Oil can't
lay their hand on $10 million...

...that's the day we lock the door.
You understand?

That's the kind of talk I like to hear.

Can we count you in. Jock?

I said I hadn't made up my mind yet.
I'll let you know when I do.

Let's get the hell out of here.
Leg's cramped.

Yeah.

I'll answer it, Dolores. I'm right here.

Hello?

Hello. May I speak with
Mrs. Rebecca Wentworth. please?

This is Mrs. Wentworth.

Mrs. Wentworth...

...this is Pamela Ewing.

Does that name mean anything to you?

The name Ewing certainly does.

- But not Pamela Ewing?
- No.

I'm just in from Dallas until tomorrow.

There's something I would like to discuss.
If I could just see you for a few minutes.

Well. I don't know. I mean.
my schedule is very busy right now.

I'm sure it is. I don't want to impose.

All right. Come at 5:00.

You know where I live?

Yes. I do. I'll see you then.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Rebecca?

What is it, darling?

Oh. there you are.

Well. I'm off.

- Already?
- Well. I have to be in Dallas at 9:00.

And don't forget. you have to
be there tomorrow too.

The dress is laid out.
The reservation's already made.

Good .

I do wish you'd slow down.

I get so worried about you sometimes.

Oh. don't be silly. I'm strong as a lion.

Not at all. more like a lamb.

And I don't know what I'd do
if I lost you.

Don't be silly.
We'll only be apart one day.

Bye.

Can you take two more?

Sure.

I just can't believe you, Muriel.

You're usually the one that's
so gaga over romance.

You want to chase after Mitch Cooper.
be my guest.

But don't ask what I think. because
I think you're being a prime jackass.

- Why?
-lt won't work.

But I love him.

And I'm sure he loves me.

She loves him. She loves him.

Mitch Cooper is a bright.
deep. intelligent boy.

He is orderly. he is logical.

You are about as far from that sort of
person as I am from Robert Redford.

Alas.

You know your trouble. Muriel?

You're shortsighted.

In more ways than one.

Mitch is still waters. You are Ewing Oil.

The two of those couldn't be mixed
with a blender.

- Oh. no?
- No.

You ought to be happy he walked out
on you. Saves you the effort.

Walked out on me?

Nobody walks out on me.

Wait a minute.

What am I carrying your books for?

Take them yourself.

Thank you. Keep the change.

Hello. I'm Mrs. Pamela Ewing.
I'd like to see Mrs. Wentworth. please.

She's expecting you.

Just follow me. please.

Mrs. Wentworth?

Won't you come in?

Now. how can I help you?

I've rehearsed it a dozen times.

Now the words just won't come out.

I know who you are.

When I was a child...

...l used to think about you every day.

My mother...

...who died and went to heaven.

And I used to wonder
what you were like.

What you smelled like.

Sometimes I even thought
I could remember.

When Digger told us that you died...

...l could never really accept that.

But when Digger was dying and told us
about you and Hutch McKinney...

...l don't exactly know why. but somehow
I knew that you were still alive.

And I've been searching for you
since that day.

Everybody told me I shouldn't.

That it was useless.

My brother and my husband
said I'd just be more hurt...

...when I found out
that you were really dead.

But I found you.

You're alive.

And I'm so happy. I don't know
how to tell you how happy I am.

Please--

I've been trying to understand
why you left us.

Why you never tried to get in touch.

But I know that that was
a long time ago.

And it doesn't matter right now.

This is going to be difficult
for you to hear.

But I think I'd better say it
before you go any further.

My name is Rebecca Wentworth.

I've never had any other husband
except Herbert Wentworth.

I'm not your mother.

Well. that's not possible.

I'm sorry.

Hey. Baxter. how you doing. bud?

Good. How's the little lady?

Fine. fine.

I wanna ask a favor of you.

No. No. I've quit all that. Yeah.

I'd like to take a look
at the company books.

I'm kind of interested
in the cash position at the moment.

Take about an hour.

No. no. No. don't bring them
to the office.

I'll meet you at the condo.
say 11:00 in the morning?

All right.

And let's just keep this
between ourselves.

No sense in mentioning it to Tom Selby
or my little brother.

All right. bud. Thank you.
See you then.

All I'm saying. Bobby.
Is that it's not gonna be easy.

The loan committee is getting nervous
about Ewing Oil.

- But this company is solid. you know that.
- Sure I do. but for how long?

You're expanding faster than my waistline.
Buying. selling. buying again.

It's got to stop somewhere.

But not here. Les. Not now.

Bobby. there's a limit to the number
of balls even you can keep in the air.

You don't understand. The profit potential
on the Jordan Lee venture is 10-1.

You want me to turn my back
on $100 million.

What I want is for you to slow down.
and that's what the bank wants also.

I could transfer 12 million
from Ewing accounts.

Use your own capital? Come on. Bobby.

That's right.
so talk to the loan committee.

All right. But I can't make any promises.

Now. wait a minute.
You made a lot of promises...

...when I switched Ewing business
away from Cattlemen's Bank to yours.

All right. I'll do my best.

Les.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to
jump you like that.

That's all right. You gotta be feeling
a lot of pressure lately.

Listen. I'll talk to the committee.
all right?

- Thank you.
- Yeah. okay.

Hello?

Bobby?

I'm flying back from Houston
this morning.

Bobby. could you get away for lunch?
I want to see you.

I can't. hon. I'm really swamped.

Bobby. I really need you.

Well. I'll see you tonight.

Tonight we're going to
Dave Culver's fundraiser.

That's right. Okay. tell me now.
What's the matter?

The woman Mr. Mackey found...

...she's not my mother.

I'm sorry. hon.
I had a feeling you'd be disappointed.

Well. Mr. Mackey was so positive.

Well. it was a long shot. You knew that.

It still hurts, Bobby.

Look. hon. I have to go.

I'll come home early tonight.
We can talk then. okay?

I was so sure.

I really have to go.

Of course you do.

I'll see you later. Bobby.
Thank you.

Oh. I just feel like
everybody's against me.

- Who's everybody?
- Everybody.

They all think I should drop Mitch.

They think he's wrong for me.

Well. maybe you're wrong
for each other.

Well. he's no more wrong for me
than you were for Donna Culver.

Now. we're not gonna talk about her.

See? All this time.
and you're still not over her yet.

I'll tell you something. It won't work out
for you for the same reason...

-...it didn't work out for us.
- Ray.

Oil and water.

No matter how hard you try.
you just can't mix them.

We're not oil and water.

And I'm sick and tired of hearing
everybody say that we are.

Hey. I'm your friend. Don't jump on me.

I know what you're going through.
I've been there myself.

No. you haven't.

You loved Donna. but you were too chicken
to give it a chance. so you dumped her.

Now. you just hold on.

That's what everyone wants me to do.
Including you.

But I'm not gonna let the man I love
slip through my fingers...

...because my family doesn't
think he's good enough for me.

I'm not gonna botch up my life
the way you botched up yours.

I'm just not!

What reason would she have had
to lie to me?

All I can tell you is...

...that was one of the most comprehensive
missing-persons investigations I've done.

And all of the facts point to
Rebecca Wentworth's being your mother.

Mr. Mackey. do you think you could have
made a mistake?

It's possible.
I'll sift through the evidence again...

...and finish the cross-check on
Mrs. Wentworth's personal background.

All right. I want to thank you
for everything you've done.

I'll get back to you one way or another.

We'll get this figured out.

Don't worry about a thing.

Goodbye.

How you doing?

- What do you say. Tom?
- Good seeing you.

Hector. golly sakes. where you been?

Just bring me a straight bourbon.
boy. here.

Feeling a lot better, thank you.

Do you mind answering
a stupid question?

No. honey. I do it all the time.

Why did Jock insist on us being here?

That is a stupid question.

I mean. what are the Ewings doing
at a Dave Culver fundraiser?

They're raising funds for Dave Culver.

- Hello. Dave. Donna.
- Hello. Jock.

Glad you could make it.
Ellie. you're looking like a million dollars.

A million dollars?
That ain't no compliment. Dave.

Thanks for coming. Jock.

- We're with you. boy.
- Thank you.

- Dave. good to see you.
- J.R.

- Donna.
- Sue Ellen.

- David.
- Thanks for coming.

- How are you?
- Hi.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Bobby. I want to go talk
to Cliff for a minute, okay?

- Sure. I'll be at the table.
- Okay.

Hello. Bob.

Good luck with the election.

What I meant to say was that
Dave Culver's about as liberal a politician...

...as the state of Texas allows.

Ewing money usually never flows
in that direction.

Ewing money always flows
in the direction of power.

Now. Dave Culver's just
a little old state senator.

But. like it or not. next time around...

...he's likely to be sitting
in the governor's chair.

You always wanna be kind
to the governor. don't you?

Of course.

Cliff Barnes. you know Ty Bergman.

How do you do. Nice to see you.

Cliff? Excuse me.

- Hi.
- Can I talk to you for a minute?

- Well. can it wait?
- Well. it's about Mama.

Cliff. Excuse me. Pam.

- Come on. they're waiting.
-I'll be there, just a minute.

Now. They're waiting for us on the dais.

He'll be back right after
the ceremonies are over.

Oh. hello.

Mrs. Ewing. I'd like to present
my husband. Herbert Wentworth.

This is Mrs. Pamela Ewing.

- How do you do.
- How do you do.

I see you have your family here
in full force tonight.

Yes. my husband's family.

My maiden name was Barnes.

In fact. if you'll look up on the dais.
Mrs. Wentworth...

...that's my brother, Cliff Barnes.

I see.

- Well. we'd best get back to our seats.
- Yes. Nice meeting you.

- Bye.
- Ladies and gentlemen?

Ladies and gentlemen.
may I have your attention?

May I ask you all to be seated.

Thank you.

First of all. I'd like to thank you
for all coming out tonight.

I realize that $1000 a plate is a little steep
for the kind of food Dallas Catering serves.

Easy for him to say.

But rest assured that
after the dinner tab is paid for...

...the rest will go for a very good cause.

Now I'd like to take a moment or two
to tell you about that cause.

Most of you already know him.

One of the most important
young politicians in government today.

A fine state senator.

And unless a lot of people are wrong...

...the future governor
of this great state of Texas.

Our own Dave Culver.

Good morning.

Good morning.

That was wonderful.

You get any more cheerful and
you're gonna dampen the morning sun.

What is it?
You having trouble with Mitch?

I don't wanna talk about it.

Yes. you do.

I'm tired of people giving me advice.

Then stop asking for it.

- I don't.
- Yes. you do.

You ask what people think. then get upset
when they don't think the way you want.

- They just don't understand.
- Honey. they don't have to understand.

What do you care what they think anyway?
You're a big girl now.

You can make up your own mind.
You don't have to ask people for advice.

So. you think I should try
and get Mitch back?

And now you're asking me.

You big dummy. do what you feel.

Like I do.

Right now. I feel like
throwing you in the pool.

No!

Oh. Bobby. you're terrific!

- I love you! Thank you!
- Now. wait a minute--

You're the most terrific uncle--

- I didn't tell you to do one thing or another.
- Oh. yes. you did.

Baxter. I do appreciate
your bringing the books up here.

Money's about as tight
as I thought it'd be.

There's no immediate danger
to the company.

No.

But Bobby hasn't left us a cat's hair
of room to maneuver in.

Yep. He's got us in a cash bind. all right.

Everything's tied up
in equipment. leases...

...that new refinery of his
and the crude oil to keep it going.

Whatever's left over is going down
the tubes of Ewing 23.

Yeah. he hasn't left us
much liquidity at all.

Seems that way.

My daddy's gonna be looking for
$10 million in liquid capital pretty soon.

What do you think will happen
when he takes it?

I don't know.

Yeah. I do. I do.

I can tell you Ewing Oil wants in.
I just have to work out some details.

Bobby. if this is a Ewing runaround--

Now. Jordan.
you know better than that.

You know how much Daddy and I
want to patch things up with the cartel.

I have a cash-flow problem. that's all.
I have to free some capital first.

This is a hot scheme.
If you want in. you've got to move now.

One day. Just give me one day.

All right. Twenty-four hours. That's it.

Twenty-four hours.
you're in or we go without you.

I'm in. You can bet on it.

I just wanted to apologize.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

No. it was my fault.

I admit it, I should've
never invited you to Southfork.

But I thought we were close.

It's just that we have
such different backgrounds.

No. that's not it.

I really don't think you care for me.

Lucy...

There are just other things to consider.

- Like what?
- Like your family. for instance.

They make me feel uncomfortable.

Everything about them
makes me feel uncomfortable.

I don't like them.

Well. I feel that way myself
a lot of the times.

Well. about some of them anyway.

So. you see.
we do have something in common.

Sometimes I love you.

Only sometimes?

No.

All the time.

I love you very much.

Then marry me.

Look. if you married me. you could
take me away from all the Ewings.

No.

Mitch. how many times
are you gonna walk out on me?

How often are you gonna run away?

You keep coming back.
Doesn't that tell you something?

Sure tells me something.

Don't you have any guts?

What?

Oh. okay. Okay.

Okay. what?

You are a genuine little stinker.

What?

So you're telling me if I had any guts.
I'd marry you. right?

Yeah. that's what I think.

Oh. well. that's some dare.

You know. I've got a sneaky suspicion
if I'm not careful...

...you could twist me right around
your little finger.

Then you'll marry me?

Yeah.

I love you.

I love you so much.

Oh. we're gonna have the biggest
and the best wedding ever.

Where did you say you went to go eat?

I went over there.
and I had tacos. I got so sick--

Pamela!

Can I speak to you?

Yes. Of course.

I'll be there later.

Can we take a little walk together?

Yes.

Years ago. I closed a door in my mind.

I sealed off a part of my life.

And I thought it would be
sealed off forever.

It almost was.

I led a comfortable life...

...happily married to a man that I adore.

Then you phoned...

...making a crack in that seal
I thought was so strong.

We met.

And the crack became larger.

And then I saw you and your brother.

Both of you together.

And I couldn't.

The whole thing...

...the whole...

...secret. sealed place broke open.

And the past came rushing back.

Digger Barnes.

Hutch McKinney.

And the awful. awful pain...

...of having to abandon my own
flesh and blood.

You are my mother.

Yes. I am.

And although you haven't known me...

...the newspapers have made it impossible
for me to ignore you or Cliff.

You can't imagine the unhappiness...

...of seeing one's own children...

...and not being able to talk to them.

That's what I don't understand.

Why couldn't you?

My husband has no idea
that I was married.

Or that I have two children.

He knows nothing
about Hutch McKinney.

He is not a well man.

I think if he found out now...

...the shock would devastate him.

Why didn't you tell him before?

I never divorced Digger.

I was afraid that if I tried...

...he'd find me...

...and drag me back to that awful life.

Pamela...

...l saw a chance for happiness...

...and I took it.

Don't blame me for that.

Do you mean that
now that I've found you...

...we can't see each other?

I wanted to talk to your brother too.

I don't think I could
go through this again.

Well. it's probably best if you don't.

Pamela...

...try to understand.

To lose one family in a lifetime...

...is horrible.

To lose a second...

I'm sorry.

Oh. I'm sorry.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I was just leaving. I've got
a policy meeting with the Culvers.

Well. I thought you'd like to know
what happened in Houston.

Oh. yeah. yeah. We really didn't
have much chance to talk last night.

The hall was awfully crowded.

So do we have a mother?

Pam?

- What did you find out?
- Nothing.

Nothing?

The private detective was wrong.

The lady in Houston
was just a lady in Houston.

Well. that's that. I suppose.
