You know how to do it. 3 00:00:06,521 --> 00:00:09,923 It's time. Bob. Time to straighten out Daddy's affairs. 4 00:00:10,233 --> 00:00:12,395 You don't think maybe that reading Daddy's will... 5 00:00:12,652 --> 00:00:14,461 would put you at the helm of Ewing Oil? 6 00:00:14,737 --> 00:00:16,865 Maybe you're afraid there might be some changes. 7 00:00:17,114 --> 00:00:18,400 When I hired you... 8 00:00:18,616 --> 00:00:21,699 I hired you because I thought you'd be best at running Harwood Oil. 9 00:00:21,994 --> 00:00:26,079 If I had wanted a package that included sex. I would've hired your brother Bobby. 10 00:00:26,415 --> 00:00:29,464 Bobby. One way or another. That will is going to be read. 11 00:01:54,872 --> 00:01:57,443 I just wanted you to know. I'm not trying to pressure you. 12 00:01:57,708 --> 00:02:00,757 J.R., there just is no legal way to unseal your daddy's will... 13 00:02:01,044 --> 00:02:02,728 until he's declared legally dead. 14 00:02:03,213 --> 00:02:04,419 I know. I know. 15 00:02:04,631 --> 00:02:06,872 I just wanted to apologize for coming on so strong. 16 00:02:07,676 --> 00:02:08,677 I understand. 17 00:02:08,885 --> 00:02:10,774 You've been a good friend to this family. 18 00:02:11,012 --> 00:02:12,252 I want you to know that too. 19 00:02:13,389 --> 00:02:16,711 Have a good day.

Had you thought about a round-the-world cruise? 32 00:03:14,279 --> 00:03:15,724 Hey. Mama. 33 00:03:15,947 --> 00:03:17,233 I got some mail for you. 34 00:03:17,449 --> 00:03:20,214 Invitation to the Oil Barons Ball. 35 00:03:20,827 --> 00:03:23,592 I've been thinking about this since dinner with Punk and Mavis. 36 00:03:23,913 --> 00:03:25,517 The Ewings have never missed one yet. 37 00:03:27,208 --> 00:03:30,178 Your daddy always enjoyed it so much. 38 00:03:30,753 --> 00:03:33,996 I think it's time for you to get out and visit with your old friends. 39 00:03:35,674 --> 00:03:36,721 I don't know. 40 00:03:37,259 --> 00:03:38,704 Well. We'd all be with you. Mama. 41 00:03:39,761 --> 00:03:43,447 It would be good for you to get out. It would be good for all of us. 42 00:03:43,765 --> 00:03:46,894 I gotta go. You think about it. Okay? 43 00:04:11,791 --> 00:04:14,032 You look as if you're going into town. 44 00:04:14,293 --> 00:04:17,103 Well. Nothing to do here. 45 00:04:17,380 --> 00:04:21,226 Ray has got the ranch under control and I wasn't cut out to punch cattle. 46 00:04:22,509 --> 00:04:24,432 No. I guess not. 47 00:04:25,971 --> 00:04:27,894 Bobby's living my life. 48 00:04:28,140 --> 00:04:29,904 He's doing everything I should be doing. 49 00:04:30,141 --> 00:04:32,269 J.R.. I know how you feel. 50 00:04:32,519 --> 00:04:34,567 You are my son and I do care about you. 51 00:04:35,396 --> 00:04:38,843 - I have a hard time believing that. - I know what Ewing Oil means to you... 52 00:04:39,150 --> 00:04:42,871 but I can't allow the company to be used to savagely destroy someone. 53 00:04:43,821 --> 00:04:46,222 I worked for years with Daddy. Side by side... 54 00:04:46,490 --> 00:04:48,015 when he was running Ewing Oil. 55 00:04:48,242 --> 00:04:49,607 Now. He was a fair man... 56 00:04:49,826 --> 00:04:52,557 but he was tough and ruthless when he had to be. 57 00:04:52,829 --> 00:04:56,675 He wouldn't let the Cliff Barneses of this world tell him what to do. 58 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,241 Your daddy never set a trap the way you did. 59 00:04:59,585 --> 00:05:03,590 You don't know the half of what Daddy did when he was running that company. 60 00:05:03,923 --> 00:05:05,925 He brought strong leadership to the company... 61 00:05:06,175 --> 00:05:08,746 and he brought strong leadership to the family. 62 00:05:09,053 --> 00:05:12,500 Do you think he'd approve of the way the family's been handled since he died? 63 00:05:12,806 --> 00:05:15,776 Dividing up all the shares. Supposed to be temporary. 64 00:05:16,059 --> 00:05:18,266 Well. How long is temporary? 65 00:05:18,937 --> 00:05:20,905 What direction the family going in anyhow? 66 00:05:21,147 --> 00:05:23,753 Who's gonna provide for Christopher. John Ross and Lucy? 67 00:05:25,776 --> 00:05:29,019 Are you handling the family the way he would want you to? 68 00:06:01,226 --> 00:06:02,671 That's great. 69 00:06:04,229 --> 00:06:09,190 I tell you. If they ever legalize horse-racing in Texas... 70 00:06:09,567 --> 00:06:12,696 I wanna bet on any pony that's got you for a jockey. 71 00:06:13,738 --> 00:06:16,184 You know. For a while there. I... 72 00:06:16,824 --> 00:06:19,634 A ride like that. I felt I could just leave the past behind. 73 00:06:20,411 --> 00:06:23,096 That's why you're down here. Give yourself some time. 74 00:06:23,372 --> 00:06:26,057 Get some perspective on your future. 75 00:06:26,333 --> 00:06:29,303 Maybe you're right. But every time I think about the future... 76 00:06:29,586 --> 00:06:30,917 the past gets in the way. 77 00:06:31,129 --> 00:06:33,496 Changed your mind about marrying J.R.? 78 00:06:34,924 --> 00:06:36,130 I've considered it. 79 00:06:37,051 --> 00:06:39,452 If you have any doubts, don't do it. 80 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,688 He's caused you a lot of pain in the past. 81 00:06:42,973 --> 00:06:46,773 I think he's changed. He really does love me. 82 00:06:47,978 --> 00:06:52,745 You know. Clayton. Coming here has complicated my life more than ever. 83 00:06:53,275 --> 00:06:56,119 My life with Dusty was so very special. 84 00:06:56,402 --> 00:06:58,370 I don't think my life will be the same again. 85 00:06:58,613 --> 00:07:00,377 It could be. Sue Ellen. 86 00:07:00,907 --> 00:07:02,193 No. 87 00:07:03,284 --> 00:07:04,524 Dusty is lost to me. 88 00:07:04,910 --> 00:07:07,516 You have choices other than marrying J.R. 89 00:07:09,289 --> 00:07:12,259 I don't want to think about this. Okay? Let's ride to the house... 90 00:07:12,542 --> 00:07:15,466 and maybe I can talk you into taking me to lunch in San Angelo. 91 00:07:15,754 --> 00:07:18,041 All right. If I can catch you. 92 00:07:23,761 --> 00:07:25,968 Dr. Grovner. How is she? 93 00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:28,721 Well. Physically. She's fine. 94 00:07:28,974 --> 00:07:32,342 She'd have no problems carrying a child full term. 95 00:07:32,853 --> 00:07:36,824 - What about emotionally? - Emotionally. I'm not too sure. 96 00:07:37,315 --> 00:07:39,556 But I'm not a psychiatrist. 97 00:07:39,985 --> 00:07:42,192 I've always felt that it's difficult for a man... 98 00:07:42,445 --> 00:07:46,336 to make a proper judgment on a case like this. Very difficult. 99 00:07:46,658 --> 00:07:48,262 Lucy. 100 00:07:48,618 --> 00:07:50,746 I'd like to talk to Lucy alone for a few moments. 101 00:07:50,995 --> 00:07:54,044 - Would you excuse us. Please? - Oh. Of course. 102 00:07:54,331 --> 00:07:56,174 - L'll be outside. - Okay. 103 00:07:57,251 --> 00:07:58,457 Sit down. Lucy. Sit down. 104 00:08:04,049 --> 00:08:06,734 Well. Dr. Grovner. When do we do it? 105 00:08:07,051 --> 00:08:09,736 �When� could be the next day or so. 106 00:08:10,221 --> 00:08:11,711 I think the big question is �if.� 107 00:08:12,682 --> 00:08:14,207 Not in my mind. 108 00:08:14,433 --> 00:08:15,673 I want an abortion. 109 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,366 Well. You're only two months pregnant. So it's a relatively minor procedure. 110 00:08:21,690 --> 00:08:25,376 Now. I'll call you tonight and tell you what time to come in to the hospital. 111 00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:30,369 I've also arranged for an excellent obstetrician. Dr. Anita Krane. 112 00:08:32,158 --> 00:08:33,648 Fine. 113 00:08:34,535 --> 00:08:39,336 Lucy. Lucy. I told your Aunt Pam that you're in good physical condition. 114 00:08:39,707 --> 00:08:42,916 - You could have the baby. - No. 115 00:08:43,627 --> 00:08:47,552 Dr. Grovner, I was raped. How could I be a good mother... 116 00:08:47,881 --> 00:08:50,452 if when I looked at the baby. It reminded me of that? 117 00:08:50,926 --> 00:08:52,735 You could put the child up for adoption. 118 00:08:53,428 --> 00:08:57,274 If I don't get this over and behind me. I think I might just go out of my mind. 119 00:08:58,933 --> 00:09:01,982 Lucy. I'm sorry. I don't mean to make things more difficult for you... 120 00:09:02,269 --> 00:09:03,998 than they already are. 121 00:09:04,230 --> 00:09:07,996 It's just that some women have tremendous psychological problems... 122 00:09:08,317 --> 00:09:11,321 after a therapeutic abortion. Even when they wanted it. 123 00:09:11,612 --> 00:09:13,535 It can't be any worse than I feel right now. 124 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,407 I'll tell Dr. Krane about our talk. 125 00:09:19,661 --> 00:09:22,870 I'm sure she'll wanna spend some time with you before you go ahead. 126 00:09:23,498 --> 00:09:26,308 Tell her not to try to talk me out of it. 127 00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:42,640 Hey. 128 00:09:44,726 --> 00:09:46,854 Pete. Would you run this one over there for me? 129 00:09:47,103 --> 00:09:49,834 - Sure thing. Ray. - L'll catch you in a little bit. 130 00:09:59,281 --> 00:10:02,285 What do you got there? Some new farm-machinery catalog? 131 00:10:02,576 --> 00:10:05,182 Very funny. You know exactly what this is. 132 00:10:05,453 --> 00:10:09,060 Blood. Sweat and tears. Six hundred neatly typed pages of it. 133 00:10:09,374 --> 00:10:11,741 Sam Culver, The Early Years. 134 00:10:12,543 --> 00:10:14,466 - All finished. - You bet. 135 00:10:14,754 --> 00:10:17,997 And I am on my way to the post office in Dallas... 136 00:10:18,882 --> 00:10:21,408 to get the dang thing to the publisher. 137 00:10:21,677 --> 00:10:24,840 I just came by for a good-luck kiss. 138 00:10:30,977 --> 00:10:33,981 You know. I think I have a better idea. 139 00:10:34,272 --> 00:10:36,400 Instead of mailing that to the post office... 140 00:10:36,649 --> 00:10:40,017 I think it deserves to be hand-delivered personally. 141 00:10:40,653 --> 00:10:44,499 - The publisher is in New York City. - I know that. 142 00:10:46,116 --> 00:10:49,404 - Are you trying to get rid of me? - No. 143 00:10:49,995 --> 00:10:53,556 I'm just saying you and I have never been on a real honeymoon... 144 00:10:53,873 --> 00:10:55,841 and I have never seen New York City. 145 00:10:56,668 --> 00:10:58,318 Are you serious? 146 00:10:58,544 --> 00:11:00,512 Just the two of us? 147 00:11:00,963 --> 00:11:03,569 - Oh.

I'll make the reservations. 149 00:11:08,345 --> 00:11:11,315 You order us the finest suite in the city. 150 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,005 Thank you. 151 00:11:22,108 --> 00:11:23,792 Well. Thanks for coming with me. 152 00:11:24,026 --> 00:11:27,826 It's a good excuse to get out of the apartment. I was getting cabin fever. 153 00:11:28,155 --> 00:11:30,556 There's a store over there. You said you needed ties. 154 00:11:30,824 --> 00:11:33,191 I don't need them anymore. That's for people who work. 155 00:11:33,452 --> 00:11:36,854 Cliff. I'll buy them for you. It will cheer you up. 156 00:11:37,164 --> 00:11:39,770 You bought me lunch. I don't want you buying me things. 157 00:11:40,041 --> 00:11:42,282 Four fifty for a sandwich. I can manage that. 158 00:11:42,544 --> 00:11:44,865 - Come on. Let's go see about those ties. - Let's go. 159 00:11:45,129 --> 00:11:46,733 - What's wrong? - Come on. Let's go. 160 00:11:50,176 --> 00:11:52,417 - It's your mother. - I wanna go. 161 00:11:52,678 --> 00:11:54,043 Cliff. She sees us. 162 00:11:54,263 --> 00:11:56,072 Afton. Cliff. 163 00:11:56,682 --> 00:11:58,969 Hi. Mrs. Wentworth. 164 00:12:05,815 --> 00:12:07,977 - Hi.

You didn't tell me. 172 00:12:29,921 --> 00:12:31,286 I just made up my mind. 173 00:12:32,382 --> 00:12:34,828 Why did Marilee Stone offer you a job? 174 00:12:35,092 --> 00:12:38,255 Maybe she feels guilty. The reasons don't make any difference. 175 00:12:38,554 --> 00:12:41,160 - I just need the money. - Cliff. I... 176 00:12:41,432 --> 00:12:42,922 Don't say anything. 177 00:12:44,726 --> 00:12:46,251 Cliff.

I'd hope to return the favor someday. 186 00:13:17,924 --> 00:13:22,293 - But I wouldn't do anything illegal. - Nelson. You know me better than that. 187 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,247 Well. I need a little tax advice. Is what it is. I thought to myself... 188 00:13:26,557 --> 00:13:28,446 who knows the ins and outs of the IRS... 189 00:13:28,684 --> 00:13:30,812 better than their top agent. Nelson Harding. 190 00:13:31,311 --> 00:13:33,200 Well. You're right there. 191 00:13:34,815 --> 00:13:36,897 So. What's the problem? 192 00:13:38,026 --> 00:13:41,030 - Well. It's my daddy's estate. - Oh. Yeah. 193 00:13:41,321 --> 00:13:44,609 Yeah. I took special note of that since you and I are friends. 194 00:13:44,907 --> 00:13:47,911 Too bad everything's up in the air because of the way he disappeared. 195 00:13:48,202 --> 00:13:50,011 I imagine your family would like it settled. 196 00:13:50,246 --> 00:13:52,613 I've been pushing to get it settled legally... 197 00:13:52,873 --> 00:13:56,480 but my brother's in charge of Ewing Oil and I've been fighting tooth and nail. 198 00:13:56,793 --> 00:13:59,478 I suppose the government wants it wrapped up pretty soon too. 199 00:13:59,754 --> 00:14:02,155 Uncle Sam wants his cut. 200 00:14:02,424 --> 00:14:05,712 But there's nothing we can do under the circumstances. 201 00:14:07,470 --> 00:14:11,191 What if I was to tell you that there's solid proof of my daddy's death? 202 00:14:13,350 --> 00:14:16,274 That it's being withheld to keep the will from going into probate. 203 00:14:16,562 --> 00:14:18,803 I don't know. Postpone paying taxes. I guess. 204 00:14:19,064 --> 00:14:21,908 Now. J.R.. I don't see you doing something like that. 205 00:14:22,192 --> 00:14:23,523 No way. Not me. 206 00:14:24,611 --> 00:14:27,342 You want me to lean on your brother Bobby? 207 00:14:27,614 --> 00:14:30,902 Why don't you have a little talk with him? Maybe tell him you got a tip... 208 00:14:32,201 --> 00:14:36,763 I see. The old anonymous-informer bit. Huh? 209 00:14:37,998 --> 00:14:40,763 Come down on him. Nelson. You know how to do it. 210 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,927 Now do you wanna tell me what's going on? 211 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,440 My informant tells me that the Ewings are stalling. 212 00:15:00,394 --> 00:15:03,921 Oh. To increase the size of the estate while interest rates are high. 213 00:15:04,231 --> 00:15:07,553 Well. Hopefully to postpone probate till taxes come down. 214 00:15:07,859 --> 00:15:09,020 Your informant is wrong. 215 00:15:09,236 --> 00:15:12,877 Now. I suggest that if the IRS does want information about Ewing Oil... 216 00:15:13,198 --> 00:15:15,246 that you go to my comptroller. Ted Prince... 217 00:15:15,492 --> 00:15:17,381 or to my lawyer, Harv Smithfield. 218 00:15:17,619 --> 00:15:19,701 I don't involve myself in tax matters at all. 219 00:15:21,914 --> 00:15:24,724 But you see. If the Ewings are withholding information... 220 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,480 about your father's death, see it's... 221 00:15:27,753 --> 00:15:30,962 It's not just a tax matter. It's fraud. 222 00:15:31,256 --> 00:15:34,738 There's nothing I'd like better than to see my daddy's estate settled. 223 00:15:35,427 --> 00:15:38,317 Mr. Harding. I don't take kindly to threats. 224 00:15:39,180 --> 00:15:41,831 And I do believe that you're trying to threaten me. 225 00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:44,307 So unless you have more than rumor or innuendo... 226 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,643 I suggest you get the hell out of my office now. 227 00:16:10,126 --> 00:16:12,857 Yeah. Harv Smithfield. Please. Bobby Ewing. 228 00:16:13,129 --> 00:16:16,417 Harv. I think we might have a little trouble with the Tax Department. 229 00:16:16,715 --> 00:16:18,877 I just threw one of their boys out of my office. 230 00:16:19,134 --> 00:16:21,455 That wasn't the smartest thing you could do, Bobby. 231 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,883 But I know how you feel. I've had the urge myself, several times. 232 00:16:25,181 --> 00:16:27,787 - Who was it? - Nelson Harding. 233 00:16:28,059 --> 00:16:29,584 Harding? 234 00:16:30,061 --> 00:16:33,782 You happened to have picked on the toughest investigator in the office. 235 00:16:34,857 --> 00:16:37,781 I promised Louise I'd meet her at 6 for dinner tonight... 236 00:16:38,068 --> 00:16:41,356 but you and I better meet here tomorrow morning. How's 10:00? 237 00:16:42,823 --> 00:16:44,587 I'll be there. 238 00:16:53,833 --> 00:16:55,073 Hello. 239 00:16:55,293 --> 00:16:58,263 Lucy, Dr. Grovner. Mes? 240 00:16:58,587 --> 00:17:02,353 Dr. Krane can perform the therapeutic abortion the day after tomorrow. 241 00:17:02,675 --> 00:17:06,236 Now, I suggest you check into Dallas Memorial in the morning. 242 00:17:06,970 --> 00:17:09,541 - How long will it take? - Oh, nut very lung. 243 00:17:09,848 --> 00:17:12,738 It would be a good idea if you stayed in the hospital overnight. 244 00:17:13,018 --> 00:17:14,747 You'll wan! To rest. 245 00:17:15,186 --> 00:17:16,676 Okay. Thank you very much. 246 00:17:16,896 --> 00:17:18,944 Bye-bye. Goodbye. 247 00:17:45,298 --> 00:17:47,505 Request permission to come aboard. 248 00:17:48,676 --> 00:17:49,916 Permission granted. 249 00:17:53,639 --> 00:17:55,050 If you take those boots off. 250 00:17:55,265 --> 00:17:57,233 All right. 251 00:17:57,559 --> 00:17:59,323 I'm gonna need a little help. 252 00:18:08,194 --> 00:18:09,958 There you go. 253 00:18:10,571 --> 00:18:12,335 Well. It's a nice office you got here. 254 00:18:12,573 --> 00:18:15,179 It's a little something Daddy left to go with Harwood Oil. 255 00:18:15,451 --> 00:18:16,532 Is that right? 256 00:18:16,743 --> 00:18:19,428 Actually. He said he made some of his best deals right here. 257 00:18:19,705 --> 00:18:21,195 Yeah. I'll bet he did. 258 00:18:25,835 --> 00:18:29,123 I think Nelson Harding was being overzealous. 259 00:18:29,422 --> 00:18:32,585 So you don't think we're gonna have any trouble from the IRS? 260 00:18:34,260 --> 00:18:38,026 Harding nailed a couple of big tax cheats beginning of his career... 261 00:18:38,347 --> 00:18:41,396 and that gave him a reputation he's lived on ever since. 262 00:18:41,683 --> 00:18:45,130 - But it's wearing thin. - So he's not gonna let us off easy. 263 00:18:46,813 --> 00:18:49,657 I think he's going to keep you and your accounting department... 264 00:18:49,941 --> 00:18:51,909 tied up in audits until this is settled... 265 00:18:52,151 --> 00:18:54,074 even though there's no way to prove fraud. 266 00:18:55,279 --> 00:18:59,170 All right. Harv. How do I get this man off my back? 267 00:19:00,534 --> 00:19:02,059 Settle your daddy's estate. 268 00:19:02,828 --> 00:19:04,557 But you know how I've felt about that. 269 00:19:05,330 --> 00:19:08,493 The company's been lucky so far being able to operate temporarily... 270 00:19:08,792 --> 00:19:10,556 based on that letter from your daddy. 271 00:19:10,794 --> 00:19:13,684 Harv. You don't have to sell me on the idea. 272 00:19:13,963 --> 00:19:17,172 I just don't wanna go through what I did with Mama again. 273 00:19:18,468 --> 00:19:20,835 Bobby. A lot of time has passed. 274 00:19:21,095 --> 00:19:25,180 Certainly. Miss Ellie has become more realistic about Jack's death by now. 275 00:19:25,516 --> 00:19:28,520 Maybe on the surface. But she doesn't talk about it much. 276 00:19:29,144 --> 00:19:30,908 Well... 277 00:19:31,146 --> 00:19:34,036 I can only offer you advice as a lawyer. 278 00:19:34,899 --> 00:19:38,460 The Ewings do not have a tax problem as I see it. 279 00:19:38,862 --> 00:19:42,833 But Nelson Harding could be the first in a series of difficulties... 280 00:19:43,157 --> 00:19:46,047 that could hamper the operation of Ewing Oil. 281 00:19:48,245 --> 00:19:50,532 And how you deal with Miss Ellie... 282 00:19:51,457 --> 00:19:53,983 is something for you and your brothers to decide. 283 00:19:55,377 --> 00:19:56,378 Thanks. Harv. 284 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,808 I want you to go into your office tomorrow... 285 00:20:06,053 --> 00:20:09,375 and fire that vice president who told you to let those leases lapse. 286 00:20:09,682 --> 00:20:12,333 But what about the oil surplus? 287 00:20:12,601 --> 00:20:15,172 The first thing you have to learn about the oil business... 288 00:20:15,437 --> 00:20:18,884 is that surpluses come and go. Now. I know it's hard to believe... 289 00:20:19,191 --> 00:20:23,241 but just a few years ago. Oil was selling for as little as a dollar a barrel. 290 00:20:23,945 --> 00:20:25,709 I know. My daddy told me that much. 291 00:20:26,864 --> 00:20:30,152 Well. Now. We talked about the equipment replacement... 292 00:20:30,451 --> 00:20:33,057 pipeline problems and natural gas. 293 00:20:33,329 --> 00:20:35,935 And now I think we ought to talk about the refinery. 294 00:20:36,207 --> 00:20:37,811 Harwood Oil doesn't have a refinery. 295 00:20:38,542 --> 00:20:40,306 Oh. I know that. I want you to buy one. 296 00:20:40,544 --> 00:20:43,024 But. J.R.. refineries have cut back production. 297 00:20:44,005 --> 00:20:46,485 In that case you ought to get a pretty good deal on one. 298 00:20:47,342 --> 00:20:49,868 I know there's a good buy down in Galveston. 299 00:20:50,136 --> 00:20:51,820 I don't know. It doesn't sound right. 300 00:20:53,431 --> 00:20:57,595 If you're not gonna trust me. You might as well tear up that agreement right now. 301 00:20:58,269 --> 00:21:00,476 My deal calls for 25 percent of Harwood Oil. 302 00:21:00,729 --> 00:21:02,891 Twenty-five percent of nothing is nothing. 303 00:21:03,148 --> 00:21:04,593 I don't do business that way. 304 00:21:05,776 --> 00:21:08,461 It's just. A refinery. I hadn't expected to have to buy one. 305 00:21:10,196 --> 00:21:12,847 Well. I think the better you get to know me... 306 00:21:13,116 --> 00:21:15,562 the more you'll understand that I do the unexpected. 307 00:21:16,077 --> 00:21:17,966 I'll remember that. 308 00:21:18,621 --> 00:21:19,861 Can I fix you another drink? 309 00:21:20,581 --> 00:21:22,663 Yeah. That'd be real nice. 310 00:21:28,172 --> 00:21:30,140 Well. I think that's enough work for today. 311 00:21:30,382 --> 00:21:32,191 We haven't discussed those acquisitions. 312 00:21:32,759 --> 00:21:34,523 Plenty of time for that. 313 00:21:41,642 --> 00:21:43,053 Did you hire me for my mind? 314 00:21:43,894 --> 00:21:47,865 J.R.. do I look like a woman that's doing without? 315 00:21:48,190 --> 00:21:49,396 No. 316 00:21:49,942 --> 00:21:52,388 I was just offering a little variety. That's all. 317 00:21:52,653 --> 00:21:56,374 For a man who tends to do the unexpected. This is very expected. 318 00:21:56,698 --> 00:21:58,860 There's something to be said for the expected. 319 00:21:59,117 --> 00:22:02,485 There's also a lot to be said for not mixing business and pleasure. 320 00:22:02,787 --> 00:22:04,516 I've heard arguments from both sides. 321 00:22:04,747 --> 00:22:07,034 J.R.. when I hired you... 322 00:22:07,291 --> 00:22:10,579 I hired you because I thought you'd be the best at running Harwood Oil. 323 00:22:11,503 --> 00:22:15,633 If I had wanted a package that included sex. I would've hired your brother Bobby. 324 00:22:18,802 --> 00:22:20,611 Well. I think the meeting's over. 325 00:22:24,307 --> 00:22:26,548 I want you to buy that refinery. You hear. 326 00:22:34,692 --> 00:22:37,582 - Cliff. I'm delighted you called. - I'm delighted you called too. 327 00:22:38,946 --> 00:22:40,277 Thank you. 328 00:22:40,489 --> 00:22:43,538 But. You see. I have these two problems: 329 00:22:45,493 --> 00:22:48,542 I need the job. That's the first problem. 330 00:22:48,830 --> 00:22:51,561 And the second problem is I don't trust you. 331 00:22:52,417 --> 00:22:54,101 The first problem is solved. 332 00:22:54,335 --> 00:22:57,100 You're working for Stonehurst Oil as of now. 333 00:22:57,379 --> 00:23:00,110 The second problem. Well. That's a little harder to deal with. 334 00:23:00,382 --> 00:23:01,622 Yeah. I know that. 335 00:23:02,092 --> 00:23:05,141 I have this fantasy that runs around in my head. 336 00:23:05,429 --> 00:23:08,080 That I'm in a nice office. I have my name on the door... 337 00:23:08,348 --> 00:23:10,077 I have a lovely view of the city... 338 00:23:10,308 --> 00:23:13,551 then I look up and I see this guy out there scraping my name off. 339 00:23:13,853 --> 00:23:17,494 You come waltzing in. You tell me I'm fired. Orders from J.R. 340 00:23:17,815 --> 00:23:19,055 Cliff. It won't happen. 341 00:23:19,275 --> 00:23:22,722 I don't take orders from J.R. or anybody else. 342 00:23:23,028 --> 00:23:26,475 Maybe you don't believe that now. But give it time. You will. 343 00:23:29,826 --> 00:23:31,874 Oh. Well. 344 00:23:33,955 --> 00:23:36,276 Okay. You got yourself a new boss. 345 00:23:36,541 --> 00:23:38,782 Now. With my vast experience in the oil business... 346 00:23:39,043 --> 00:23:41,774 where do you suggest I start? In the mail-room? 347 00:23:42,838 --> 00:23:45,523 You'll be senior vice president of operations... 348 00:23:46,592 --> 00:23:49,436 with a salary to match that title. 349 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,566 That's very generous. I don't know anything about operations. 350 00:23:54,641 --> 00:23:57,724 There are two vice presidents who know everything about operations... 351 00:23:58,019 --> 00:23:59,828 and they report to you. 352 00:24:00,063 --> 00:24:02,748 You're smart. Cliff. You'll catch on fast. 353 00:24:03,024 --> 00:24:06,267 J.R. will never be able to put anything over on you again. 354 00:24:06,569 --> 00:24:09,220 Absolutely right, because I don't compete with him anymore. 355 00:24:09,488 --> 00:24:11,809 Cliff. Once you learn the ropes... 356 00:24:12,366 --> 00:24:15,370 we'll make an unbeatable team. J.R. won't have a chance. 357 00:24:15,661 --> 00:24:17,470 Hold it. 358 00:24:17,996 --> 00:24:22,877 If you're doing all this for me so I can help you fight J.R... 359 00:24:23,251 --> 00:24:25,094 then you've got to find another guy. 360 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,410 I thought that's what you wanted. 361 00:24:27,630 --> 00:24:32,591 No. No. I'm through fighting them... J.R. 362 00:24:32,968 --> 00:24:34,970 I know when I've been beaten. 363 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,682 Well. The job is still yours. Cliff. 364 00:24:42,686 --> 00:24:44,415 Welcome to Stonehurst. 365 00:24:50,651 --> 00:24:52,460 Yes. That's fine. And thanks. 366 00:24:52,695 --> 00:24:55,904 All right. I'll see you then. Bye. 367 00:25:00,661 --> 00:25:03,028 Well. Mama. You look pretty pleased with yourself. 368 00:25:03,288 --> 00:25:06,815 That was Mavis Anderson. She's gonna help me shop for a dress. 369 00:25:07,125 --> 00:25:09,526 I've decided to go to the Oil Barons Ball. 370 00:25:09,794 --> 00:25:12,718 - I think that's wonderful. - Yeah. So do I. 371 00:25:13,006 --> 00:25:16,453 If you don't mind an ex-oil baron going along too. I'd like to come. 372 00:25:16,759 --> 00:25:19,444 Matter of fact, I might ask Sue Ellen to be my date. 373 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,690 Well. I want my family with me. J.R. I'll need them. 374 00:25:22,973 --> 00:25:24,054 We'll be there. Mama. 375 00:25:24,266 --> 00:25:26,712 Would you help me put John Ross and Christopher to bed? 376 00:25:26,977 --> 00:25:28,820 Of course I will. 377 00:25:29,062 --> 00:25:31,190 Bobby. I'd like to talk to you. 378 00:25:31,773 --> 00:25:33,741 I don't think we have anything to talk about. 379 00:25:33,983 --> 00:25:35,553 Just hold on a minute. 380 00:25:35,777 --> 00:25:39,224 Look. Because of our respect for Mama... 381 00:25:39,530 --> 00:25:43,012 we haven't done a blessed thing about the legal problems this family faces. 382 00:25:43,743 --> 00:25:45,791 Now. Why are you bringing all this up now? 383 00:25:46,036 --> 00:25:48,880 Well. You heard Mama. She's going to the Oil Barons Ball... 384 00:25:49,164 --> 00:25:51,690 she's letting Donna publish her book. 385 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,082 You saw what happened that night in the kitchen. 386 00:25:54,628 --> 00:25:56,596 Reality of Daddy's death hit her. 387 00:25:56,838 --> 00:26:00,445 It's time. Bob. Time to straighten out Daddy's affairs. 388 00:26:01,092 --> 00:26:03,140 Now. Isn't that a coincidence? 389 00:26:03,386 --> 00:26:06,549 You know. There was an IRS man in my office yesterday. Nelson Harding. 390 00:26:06,847 --> 00:26:09,418 Now. He tried to scare me into doing just that very thing. 391 00:26:09,683 --> 00:26:12,573 - Is that right? - You wouldn't know anything about that? 392 00:26:12,853 --> 00:26:16,778 I can't think of a group of people less likely to be friends with than the IRS. 393 00:26:18,358 --> 00:26:20,520 You don't think maybe that reading Daddy's will... 394 00:26:20,777 --> 00:26:22,666 would put you at the helm of Ewing Oil? 395 00:26:23,363 --> 00:26:25,252 You know. I find this very strange. 396 00:26:25,490 --> 00:26:29,859 When I was the president of Ewing Oil. You were all fired up to read that will. 397 00:26:30,328 --> 00:26:32,376 And now that you're president... 398 00:26:32,621 --> 00:26:35,909 I detect a strong note of reluctance. Now. Why? 399 00:26:36,208 --> 00:26:37,653 You just don't give a damn? 400 00:26:38,252 --> 00:26:41,734 Or maybe you're afraid there might be some changes made around here? 401 00:26:51,973 --> 00:26:53,737 How do you like this? 402 00:26:57,311 --> 00:26:59,632 I got it for dinner at Twenty One. 403 00:26:59,897 --> 00:27:02,138 Dancing at the Rainbow Room. 404 00:27:02,399 --> 00:27:05,005 You bet.

I've been poked and tested. 466 00:31:11,506 --> 00:31:13,395 They just want to be careful. 467 00:31:13,633 --> 00:31:16,477 I've heard of women going in. A few hours later they go home. 468 00:31:16,761 --> 00:31:18,365 It's over. 469 00:31:18,762 --> 00:31:21,572 Lucy. It's gonna be all right. 470 00:31:22,474 --> 00:31:25,444 Pam. I don't want to think about it. Do you understand? 471 00:31:25,727 --> 00:31:29,937 Every time a doctor or nurse comes in here.

It's not too late to change your mind. 473 00:31:32,692 --> 00:31:34,421 Is that what you want me to do? 474 00:31:35,361 --> 00:31:37,932 It doesn't matter what I want.

What would you do? 476 00:31:41,951 --> 00:31:44,921 I'm not you, and I can't decide for you. 477 00:31:45,329 --> 00:31:48,094 That's not what I asked. I just asked what you would do. 478 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,686 All my life more than anything in the world. I have wanted a child. 479 00:31:54,004 --> 00:31:55,449 That's not fair to say to you... 480 00:31:55,672 --> 00:31:58,516 because I didn't go through what you went through with Roger. 481 00:31:58,841 --> 00:32:00,491 I don't know what I'd do about rape. 482 00:32:00,843 --> 00:32:03,414 - Pam. Don't hate me for this. - Hate you? 483 00:32:04,263 --> 00:32:07,233 I could never hate you, no matter what. 484 00:32:07,516 --> 00:32:09,439 I love you. 485 00:32:12,020 --> 00:32:14,830 Mrs. Cooper, I have to get you ready. 486 00:32:20,028 --> 00:32:21,792 Pam. Will you be here after? 487 00:32:22,030 --> 00:32:23,919 I sure will. 488 00:32:28,828 --> 00:32:30,796 I love you. Lucy. 489 00:32:46,511 --> 00:32:48,195 Oh.

Well. You'd had enough. 493 00:32:56,395 --> 00:32:58,124 How about some cookies and milk? 494 00:32:58,355 --> 00:32:59,686 Oh. Will that taste good? 495 00:32:59,898 --> 00:33:01,138 I'll be right back. 496 00:33:01,358 --> 00:33:03,281 Take your time, darling. 497 00:33:04,110 --> 00:33:07,273 Clayton and I are just sitting here enjoying each other's company. 498 00:33:10,241 --> 00:33:12,972 I understand you cut back production at your refinery. 499 00:33:13,703 --> 00:33:17,344 - Some. Yes. Just like everyone else. - Yeah. 500 00:33:17,748 --> 00:33:19,591 Pretty dull in the oil business right now. 501 00:33:20,167 --> 00:33:22,090 I understand you're out of the oil business. 502 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,129 Well. I thought this would be a good time for Bobby to learn the ropes. 503 00:33:27,424 --> 00:33:29,552 He can't mess up too much. I suppose. 504 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,569 Sounds like you don't trust your brother. 505 00:33:33,096 --> 00:33:36,066 Experience has taught me not to trust too many men. 506 00:33:36,349 --> 00:33:38,670 You're a prime example of that. Clayton. 507 00:33:38,934 --> 00:33:41,175 I don't give a damn whether you trust me or not. 508 00:33:41,854 --> 00:33:44,983 Well. In that case. Maybe I should place more importance on trust... 509 00:33:45,274 --> 00:33:47,515 since my future wife is living in your house. 510 00:33:48,026 --> 00:33:50,347 I'm not sure if she's gonna be your future wife. 511 00:33:50,612 --> 00:33:53,422 Are you confusing Sue Ellen by telling her how much you care? 512 00:33:54,407 --> 00:33:55,568 Haven't said a thing. 513 00:33:56,534 --> 00:33:57,979 Good. 514 00:33:58,202 --> 00:34:01,684 Dealing with one lovesick Cliff Barnes is about all I can take. 515 00:34:03,290 --> 00:34:06,897 Say. Sue Ellen. Darling. One of the reasons I came down here... 516 00:34:07,211 --> 00:34:10,101 was to ask you to go to the Oil Barons Ball with me. 517 00:34:10,380 --> 00:34:12,144 Has Miss Ellie decided to go? 518 00:34:12,632 --> 00:34:16,239 Yes. She has. This is gonna be her first social engagement since Daddy died. 519 00:34:17,303 --> 00:34:18,464 I know. 520 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,241 I wanted the family to be around her. She'll need all the support she can get. 521 00:34:23,810 --> 00:34:26,131 Well. I really don't know. J.R. 522 00:34:26,395 --> 00:34:28,124 I'll decide and then I'll call you. 523 00:34:28,355 --> 00:34:29,800 All right. Fine. 524 00:34:30,649 --> 00:34:33,220 If John Ross is ready.

Don't you think? 528 00:34:51,210 --> 00:34:53,372 - Will your wife be joining you? - No. She won't. 529 00:34:53,629 --> 00:34:56,109 I have to go back to the office. You can bring me a menu. 530 00:34:56,381 --> 00:34:58,224 - Okay. - Thank you. 531 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,086 Hi. Chris.

Thank you very much. 548 00:35:54,102 --> 00:35:56,025 As well as the handsomest. 549 00:35:57,897 --> 00:36:00,377 Well. You know that I am a novice in the oil business... 550 00:36:00,650 --> 00:36:02,015 but I have hired an expert. 551 00:36:02,693 --> 00:36:04,502 Well. So far. So good. 552 00:36:05,070 --> 00:36:07,232 Well. The trouble is I'm so inexperienced... 553 00:36:07,489 --> 00:36:10,379 I can't tell if my expert is giving me sound advice. 554 00:36:11,660 --> 00:36:14,266 Is there something specific you'd like to ask me about? 555 00:36:14,537 --> 00:36:16,187 You want me to check out this expert? 556 00:36:16,414 --> 00:36:20,021 Oh.

You have the capital? 562 00:36:36,099 --> 00:36:37,385 Yes. I do. 563 00:36:37,601 --> 00:36:39,763 Asking price for the refinery all right? 564 00:36:40,020 --> 00:36:41,863 Well. I've been assured that it's low. 565 00:36:43,439 --> 00:36:45,840 Well. I don't know any of the particulars about it... 566 00:36:46,109 --> 00:36:48,191 but offhand. I'd say you've got good advice. 567 00:36:50,112 --> 00:36:51,318 Thanks. 568 00:36:53,073 --> 00:36:56,236 - Well. I feel better. - Well.

Bye. 574 00:37:12,967 --> 00:37:14,537 Goodbye. 575 00:37:40,534 --> 00:37:42,024 Hi. 576 00:37:43,954 --> 00:37:45,843 How are you feeling? 577 00:37:49,125 --> 00:37:51,287 So empty- 578 00:37:53,713 --> 00:37:56,762 I felt that way after my miscarriage. 579 00:37:59,010 --> 00:38:02,219 Pam. I don't know if I did the right thing or not. 580 00:38:04,848 --> 00:38:06,452 I know. 581 00:38:08,852 --> 00:38:10,422 I know. 582 00:38:19,237 --> 00:38:22,207 Bobby. Could you stop? I wanna talk to you. 583 00:38:24,617 --> 00:38:27,587 Listen. Promise or no promise. I gotta talk to you about something. 584 00:38:27,870 --> 00:38:30,555 About what you didn't wanna talk about last night? 585 00:38:31,123 --> 00:38:33,285 Yeah. Lucy didn't want me to say anything to you. 586 00:38:33,542 --> 00:38:36,273 Lucy? Why? Has something happened? 587 00:38:37,087 --> 00:38:39,931 I was with her yesterday at the hospital. She had an abortion. 588 00:38:40,215 --> 00:38:41,899 Oh, Pam, no. 589 00:38:42,133 --> 00:38:43,862 Bobby. She was raped. 590 00:38:44,552 --> 00:38:46,361 Roger Larson. 591 00:38:46,971 --> 00:38:49,577 She didn't tell the doctor. She didn't tell the police. 592 00:38:49,849 --> 00:38:52,295 - Why didn't she say something? - Well. I don't know. 593 00:38:52,559 --> 00:38:54,960 She believes she did something to cause it to happen. 594 00:38:55,521 --> 00:38:57,728 - Well. That's nonsense. - Well. I know that. 595 00:38:57,981 --> 00:39:00,461 But she's burying it deep inside of herself. 596 00:39:00,734 --> 00:39:02,736 I asked her to see a therapist. But she won't. 597 00:39:03,278 --> 00:39:05,326 Pam. Are you telling me Mama doesn't even know? 598 00:39:05,572 --> 00:39:08,052 No. And I don't think we should be the ones to tell her. 599 00:39:08,324 --> 00:39:10,326 That's something Lucy's gotta work out. 600 00:39:12,411 --> 00:39:13,776 Maybe I should go talk to her. 601 00:39:13,996 --> 00:39:16,237 I don't think she'd want you to do that now. 602 00:39:16,665 --> 00:39:18,394 Roger. 603 00:39:19,084 --> 00:39:21,894 It's a good thing he's locked up in a jail safe and sound... 604 00:39:22,170 --> 00:39:23,535 where I can't get to him. 605 00:39:24,756 --> 00:39:26,406 Well. I feel the same way you do. 606 00:39:27,425 --> 00:39:30,474 I just wish she'd talk to me before she did something like that. 607 00:39:31,971 --> 00:39:34,895 - Come on. Let's get back. - Yeah. Come on. 608 00:39:47,819 --> 00:39:50,060 - Good morning. Come on in. - Good morning. 609 00:39:52,574 --> 00:39:55,145 You sounded so troubled on the phone. 610 00:39:55,410 --> 00:39:57,219 What is it. Afton? 611 00:39:57,995 --> 00:39:59,565 It's Marilee Stone. 612 00:39:59,789 --> 00:40:01,029 Would you like some coffee? 613 00:40:01,248 --> 00:40:02,818 Yes. Please. 614 00:40:03,917 --> 00:40:06,966 I thought you'd be happy that Cliff was working. 615 00:40:07,629 --> 00:40:09,711 Well. I am. 616 00:40:10,549 --> 00:40:13,758 - I just wish it weren't for her. - Thank you. 617 00:40:14,052 --> 00:40:18,023 Marilee has a reputation for coming on strong with men. 618 00:40:18,681 --> 00:40:20,251 Do you think of her as a rival? 619 00:40:21,767 --> 00:40:23,576 Well. I guess that's part of it. 620 00:40:23,811 --> 00:40:27,179 Afton. All you have to do is look at yourself in the mirror. 621 00:40:27,815 --> 00:40:30,386 You don't have to worry about competition. 622 00:40:30,651 --> 00:40:33,860 Mrs. Wentworth. She has power and position. 623 00:40:34,154 --> 00:40:37,363 Those things are as important as looks are to Cliff, probably more. 624 00:40:38,658 --> 00:40:41,548 But that isn't even what's really worrying me. 625 00:40:42,245 --> 00:40:44,407 Marilee's relationship with J.R.? 626 00:40:44,664 --> 00:40:46,234 Yes. 627 00:40:51,003 --> 00:40:52,414 Look... 628 00:40:52,629 --> 00:40:56,031 it's true that Marilee hates J.R. for the moment... 629 00:40:56,341 --> 00:40:59,185 but she did set Cliff up for him once. 630 00:40:59,511 --> 00:41:02,082 Face it. She's a businesswoman. If it's useful for her... 631 00:41:02,347 --> 00:41:05,396 I'm sure she wouldn't hesitate to use Cliff again. 632 00:41:05,683 --> 00:41:07,572 I don't know what we can do about that now. 633 00:41:07,810 --> 00:41:09,619 Neither do I. 634 00:41:11,439 --> 00:41:13,919 But if Cliff gets hurt again... 635 00:41:15,025 --> 00:41:16,948 I'm not sure he'll survive. 636 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:26,321 I've gotta change. Honey. 637 00:41:26,536 --> 00:41:29,016 I have a luncheon appointment today. I'll see you later. 638 00:41:29,289 --> 00:41:30,814 - Hey.
