I'm gonna hit, it's just gonna take me a little longer.

They just won't approve any more money for Barnes-Wentworth.

I made a decision that I thought was the correct one.

Now, you have no right to come over here from England and question me about it now.

Who banished me to England in the first place? You've no right.

It's all over, Katherine. He'll never marry you.

I'll kill you, J.R.!

You don't think I'd be stupid enough, do you, to tell J.R. our little secret?

The secret is safe with me, Clayton.

J.R.: And over there are the canals, of course.

That's another little old paddock.

That's where we keep the stallion.

Hey, George, how you doing?

Well, how do you like Southfork?

It's beautiful, J.R.

It makes me realize how much I miss the Southern Cross.

If you like ranching so much, why on earth did you ever move to England?

Well, when Clayton married Amy, things changed...

...and I thought it'd be better it I left.

Yeah? Then you came back years later?

- Fifteen years. - Oh, yeah.

Clayton had problems, and, um I thought I'd help him out.

What kind of problems?

I think you better take me back.

Well, there's lots more to see.

Clayton and Ellie'll be wondering where we went off to.

Yeah, well, rumor has it Clayton was in big financial trouble.

J.R...

...I want this marriage stopped as much as you do.

But digging into Clayton's past isn't gonna do it.

He's always been an honorable man.

SUE ELLEN: Miss Ellie, aren't you gonna invite the Crenshaws?

Oh, my, I forgot all about them.

Well, we have to. She's Pat Bauer's sister.

I thought you said you wanted a small wedding.

Well, one more couple won't matter.

That is the 10th time you've said that.

The more the merrier, as far as I'm concerned.

That's because you don't have to address the invitations.

My handwriting's just not as pretty as you ladies'.

If I ever heard an excuse to get out of work, that's it.

Not at all.

I'm just trained to supervise.

My, what an industrious group.

We're addressing wedding invitations. You wanna help?

Oh, of course.

You can start with the first name that hasn't been checked.

Where have you two been all morning?

I've been showing Jessica around Southfork.

I don't see Dusty's and Linda's name here.

Well, that's because Clayton hasn't given us Dusty's address.

Well, last place I talked to him was in Cheyenne.

I tried to call him there a few days ago, but apparently they're on the way to Calgary.

I just haven't been able to reach him, that's all.

Well, you know how men are about these things.

He's liable to forget to ask his own son to his wedding.

Oh, there's nothing to worry about. Sue Ellen is an expert party-giver.

She'd never forget to invite Dusty, that's for sure.

Well, I guess I'm worrying over nothing.

You are.

Well, I hate to leave this happy gathering.

I'd better change and go to work.

Somebody's gotta keep the family fortune rolling in.

See you, Mama.

Bye, J.R.

J.R. really loves Southfork, Ellie.

All my sons do.

They're very generous to want to share it with another man.

MAN: Now, as you can see, this place can easily hold a reception for 500.

MARK: We're talking about a sit-down dinner.

- I don't want people balancing little plates. MAN: No, no, sit-down, of course.

MARK: Is it gonna be done in time? - Oh, absolutely.

The painting will be finished in plenty of time.

And look, there's even room for a dance floor and for a band.

All right. Terrific.

Were you going to hold the ceremony at the hotel...

...or are you planning a church wedding?

[MARK CHUCKLING]

You know, we really hadn't discussed that. I, uh...

- Will you give us a couple of minutes? - I'll be in my office.

Thank you.

Pam. Now, what'll it be? A church wedding or here?

How about five minutes at city hall this afternoon?

Are you joking?

This wedding is gonna be the most important day of my life.

Well, it's important to me too.

Honey, I wanna show you off to all my friends. I got a stack of telegrams at home.

And I have friends flying in from all over the world.

I know how much it means to you.

Now, look...

...I love you so much we can cancel the big wedding plans, if that's what you want.

Tell the man we'll take the hall.

And we'll have the ceremony here too.

I just didn't wanna waste all this beauty on a little city-hall ceremony.

Okay.

Okay.

WOMAN: Hello there, J.R. - Hi, Kendal.

- How are you doing today? J.R.: Fine, fine.

Hey, ladies.

WOMEN: Good morning. - Any messages?

- Uh, nothing urgent. - Bobby's in his office.

Where's that rascal been keeping himself?

He hasn't been around here for a couple days.

Oh, well. Take these to my office, will you, honey?

WOMAN: Yes, sir.

[KNOCKING]

Yeah, come in.

Hey, Bob.

Oh, come on in, J.R.

We have some things we have to discuss.

You didn't elope with Jenna Wade, did you? You haven't been home for two days.

I was in Houston.

Oh, well, that's no place for a honeymoon.

- Conducting business. - Uh-oh, here we go again.

My little brother, the Lone Range! of the oil business.

Hey, Bob, I thought that after the Travis Boyd deal...

...that you agreed to talk to me first before you committed Ewing Oil to anything.

I agreed to nothing.

And I hope you realize the Travis Boyd oil fields...

...are the only new fields that we've acquired up till now.

“Up till now.“ What are you talking about?

I met with the executives at Wentworth Industries.

They wanna reduce their holdings of oil-lease lands, I've agreed to take the best.

Don't suppose your ex-wife had anything to do with that?

No. As a matter of fact, Katherine tipped me off, she set it up.

- Is that right? - Yeah, and it's a good deal.

Just like that? Out of the goodness of her heart?

So what? Look, J.R., I've known for along time that you're not her favorite person.

So she came to me. And what difference does it make? Ewing Oil got the deal.

She's making points with you, Bobby.

We're just friends, J.R., nothing more.

- Where do you want me to sign? - You're not gonna argue with me?

Well, you're always pointing out that you're not a rookie in this business.

See you, Bob.

There's only one room for king of the hill around here, Katherine.

And I'm it.

[INTERCOM BUZZING]

- Yes? WOMAN: Mr. Leland is here.

Send him right in.

Cliff.

Sorry I'm late, but I had to handle a rather nasty foreclosure.

That's okay, sit. Can I get you a drink?

Oh, yeah, gin, gin. And hold the ice.

Those things make me very thirsty.

Well, what can I do for you?

Well, I need you to approve, uh, another, uh, 15-, 20-million-dollar loan.

What happened?

You just got 10 million less than two weeks ago.

No, wait, I didn't get any 10 million. Not after I paid the interest and everything.

You know how fast that money goes when you're drilling offshore?

I'll tell you something, I'm really tired of getting money from you in dribs and drabs.

Come on, now, Cliff.

Even in the oil business, $10 million is not a drib or drab.

Whatever. All I know, you could have made my life one hell of a lot simpler...

...if you'd have just given me the whole amount up front like I asked for.

- Yeah, I suppose you're right. - Now, this money, it really should cinch it.

Because oil is going to start pouring out of Gold Canyon 340 any day now.

Cliff...

...I was hoping I wouldn't have to tell you this...

...but my board of directors...

...is very distressed that you haven't brought in one single test we" yet.

Well, we're out beyond the 12-mile limit.

I mean, we're drilling in deep water.

Yes, I know that, and I reminded them of that very thing.

- Yeah, so? - Then they reminded me...

...that Westar and Four State had hit on their tracts, and they started when you did.

What, Four State too?

Late last night.

Now, they both hit.

And your "act has the best geologicals of all of them.

Westar and Four State?

The directors are a little concerned that maybe you're too inexperienced...

...for this kind of, uh, operation.

Inexperienced? Now what are they talking about?

That's just the nature of the 0” business. I'm gonna hit, just gonna take me longer.

Well, I'm sure you will.

But my bank was caught in that dry hole in Alaska.

That was months ago.

Well, it's just beginning to feel the effects of it now.

Sorry, but they won't approve any more money for Barnes-Wentworth.

I don't believe that. I don't believe that.

I mean, they've got collateral worth twice as much as the loan.

- The bank doesn't see it that way. - Well, that's crazy.

If they don't approve any more money, then I'm stopped dead.

I could be stopped three or four inches from hitting oil.

And then I lose, you lose. What kind of way is that to do business?

Conservative.

I'm sorry.

No. Wait a minute, wait a minute. No, no, I've got properties left.

Here, these are two terrific properties. They're great oil land.

Kesey and Murphy land. They're rich, they're really rich.

Cliff, my board told me that it you can't bring in the oil wells...

...with the money they loaned you, that that was it.

I can't stop now.

Well, now, look...

...we're old friends. I'm gonna try to help you all I can.

Let me try to find a buyer for you.

Someone who'll pay you a fair price for these properties.

Now, wait a minute, I don't wanna sell these. I wanna use these as collateral.

I can't do it.

That's it, huh?

That's my choice?

As far as I can see.

Okay.

Try to find me a buyer.

I'll sell Kesey and Murphy.

Peter?

Oh, hi. Is John Ross around?

Yes, he's upstairs.

Thanks.

Wait. Um...

Could I talk to you for just a minute?

Sure.

I've, um, been trying to reach you for the past few days.

I was with my mother in Demon.

I had the feeling at the party the other night that you were going to tell J.R. about us.

I don't know what I was gonna do.

I felt terrible.

I mean, I don't believe the way he came to your defense with Lucy.

He has a lot of faith in you.

And I really feel like I betrayed him.

I don't believe what you're saying.

Do you know what would happen if he found out about us?

I didn't say anything.

That's because he never gave you the chance.

Peter...

...you and I could both be hurt if you don't be careful.

Never give him a reason to be suspicious.

I've lived with J.R...

...over 12 years now...

...and he's very capable of ruining your life.

I better go check on John Ross.

Hi, Dora Mae. Is Bobby Ewing here?

Yes, Miss Wentworth, he's waiting for you.

Hey, there she is. Katherine, we did it. It's signed, sealed and delivered.

- Oh, terrific. - A bottle of your best champagne.

DORA MAE: Yes, sir.

Katherine, J.R. signed that deal and not a squawk.

I'm sorry you didn't take me to Houston when you met the Wentworth people.

How could I? You are a Wentworth, but you're hardly impartial.

I would have been very quiet. I wanted to be in on your triumph.

Look at this way, there's more to celebrate now. The deal is finalized.

Oh, good, Cassie, you can pour that for us right now.

Do you know this is the second time we've worked together successfully?

Oh, that's right.

You helped me get the Tundra Torque and bring in my Canadian fields.

Uh-huh. To many more successful ventures together.

I'll drink to that. I'm thinking of making you a full-time partner. Just name your price.

Well, I'll give it some thought.

[BOBBY CHUCKLING]

- You know what I'd really like? - What that?

Why don't we fly out together tonight to Midland?

We can stay and look at the fields in the morning.

Midland.

Do you realize there's nothing out there but miles and miles...

...of nothing but miles and miles? It's flat and it's very boring.

Oh, I know that. But actually seeing the land...

...would make our partnership so much more real for me.

All right, but later in the week.

I have a date with Jenna tonight.

- I got theater tickets and everything. - Oh.

Now, look, a deal like this does demand a celebration, so I'll tell you what.

I will take you on a personal tour of Midland and Odessa if you like.

- How about next Thursday? - And Friday.

All right, Friday, it's a date.

[KNOCKING]

Come in.

Ready for dinner?

Just about.

What's the matter with you?

Does it show?

This is your kid sister, remember?

You look like you used to when you caught me sneaking in from a date.

Well, I guess I haven't any right anymore to criticize you.

But you're going to anyway.

So out with it.

You seem to have gotten very thick with J.R.

Well, what's wrong with that?

He's gonna be your ever-loving stepson.

J.R. will never be anyone's loving stepson.

Especially mine.

We've been at odds from the moment we met.

Well, that may be true, but you're still planning on marrying Ellie Ewing.

Despite J.R.

Is my big brother gonna order me to stay away from J.R. Ewing?

I can't do that.

But J.R. is a dangerous man.

He's had private detectives looking into my past.

Oh, don't worry. they won't find anything.

You don't think I'd be stupid enough, do you, to tell J.R. our little secret?

I'm never sure about you, Jessica.

JESSICA: The secret is safe with me, Clayton.

[INTERCOM BUZZING]

- Yes, Jackie? SUSAN: This is Susan, Cliff.

Jackie went home in. And Mr. Wes McDowell is here.

Oh, yes, send him in.

Mr. Barnes.

Mr. McDowall. Sit down.

MCDOWALL: Thank you.

Vaughn Leland tells me that you wanna get rid of the Kesey and the Murphy properties.

Uh, no, no. No, I told him that I would be willing to consider offers.

Yeah, well, let me ask you a question.

Are you willing to split them up?

Sell them separately?

If the price is right.

There's a developer down in Waco who's interested in the Murphy land...

...but not Kesey.

- A developer? That's oil land. - That's right.

But a lot of oil companies are cutting way back on their wildcatting operations.

All right, what would this developer be willing to pay?

Oh, I think it's too low.

It'd be insulting even to mention it.

Oh, now, here's a buyer.

He's interested in both properties.

Plenty of ready cash. Yeah, I think this old boy would be willing to make a deal.

Matter of fact, I'm certain of it.

What are we talking about? Dollars and cents.

Well, if I push him real hard, maybe I can get this guy up to 10 million.

That's $10 million for each property?

No, both.

[CHUCKLING]

No, no, that's not right. I paid a lot more for them.

[CHUCKLING]

Well, I knew these properties, Mr. Barnes. You paid too much for them.

No, I didn't. Those were good buys.

I suppose if you strike oil, then any price is a good buy.

But, uh...

There's not a producing well on either property.

That doesn't make any difference. I mean, $10 million, that's ridiculous.

I need at least 20.

Look, Mr. Barnes, give me a little time.

Maybe I can find somebody to come a little closer to your price.

How much time?

A couple months.

No, no, I need the money now.

Well, maybe I could get you 12 million?

- Not a penny less. - I'll do my best.

- I'll call you just as soon as I can. - Okay.

Susan.

- Yes, sir? - Where's Pam?

She went for an early lunch.

Oh, my. You know, some days, I really don't know what she does to earn he! keep.

SUE ELLEN: Well, John Ross is finally coming out of his shell.

PAM: Is he still in therapy?

SUE ELLEN: We were able to stop that.

I think it's a combination of school...

...and having Peter Richards come to the house to help him.

PAM: You know, from what you tell me, he's really a bright young man.

I think the last time I saw him was at the hospital after your accident.

Yes.

He's become quite attached to the family.

How have things been since the accident?

I mean, between you and J.R.

Uh, actually, nothing's changed.

Really.

J.R. has, uh, tried to make amends.

He's been very attentive, and even kind.

Well, I guess you aren't ready to respond to that.

How can I trust him?

I'm afraid, it I let my guard down, that he's gonna hurt me again.

Well, Sue Ellen, you have history on your side.

I know, but I'm lonely.

I never thought one could be lonely living in the same house with a big family.

Maybe the hustle and bustle of Miss Ellie's and Clayton's wedding will help.

I hope so.

Miss Ellie is certainly getting herself a wonderful husband.

I wish I could be at the wedding.

Oh, I'm sure she'd love it if you came.

Oh, thanks, but I can't.

I've got my wedding plans to worry about. Seems to get more complicated every day.

What do you mean?

Well, of all things, Mark wants a big wedding.

I think he's invited half the world.

I'm sure he looks at you as a wonderful prize.

Well, he's a wonderful man.

It's just, the wedding ceremony seems to be getting out of hand.

You know, when Bobby and I were married...

...we got married in front of a justice of the peace in New Orleans...

...and I think the whole ceremony just took about 10 minutes, tops.

Pam...

...are you all right?

Yeah.

I guess I still cry at weddings, especially my own.

Your, uh, decision to many Mark surprised me.

Why?

We've been seeing each other for a year.

Just before you left for Houston, um...

...you told me that you didn't wanna marry him.

I changed my mind.

Just like that?

No.

Well, what happened?

You seem so certain.

Sue Ellen, do you mind? I don't wanna talk about it anymore.

Okay.

FLOWERS: Mr. Ewing...

...over here.

J.R.: Hello, Flowers.

- Hardly recognized you. - That's okay.

Want a beer?

Yeah, sure, if that's all they got.

- Hon, bring us a couple beers. WOMAN: Sure.

So how's everything in the Gulf?

- Cliff Barnes ready to strike oil? - Not yet.

But the whole operation's got me worried.

Yeah? Why's that?

Well, you've been paying me a lot of money to slow things down.

I don't think I've been able to slow them down enough.

Well, now, you've been doing a good job so far.

Oh, I know.

I've been able to miss the most promising geological formations.

Barnes is so dumb, he doesn't know that.

But the crew is getting suspicious, and someone might tip him off.

Well, you just gotta get rid of any potential troublemakers.

Oh, I've been trying to do that. And I've hired the worst crew I could find.

But, you know, that's hard to do.

[CHUCKLING]

Most of those guys are pretty sharp.

Well, you just gotta hold it up for another couple of weeks at the most.

Barnes is just about to run out of money.

Thanks.

If he was drilling any other tract, it'd sure be easier.

He's got possibly the richest tract in the Gulf.

Yeah, I know that.

If it wasn't, he wouldn't be pouring every dollar he can get his hands on into it.

Okay.

I just wanted you to know that I'm doing my best.

But sooner or later...

...even an idiot with a long straw could suck up oil out of that tract.

You're just gonna have to make sure he keeps getting the short straw.

Hell, he's used to that anyway, isn't he?

[CHUCKLING]

Why don't you come in for a minute, Pam?

PAM: Thanks.

I don't really know if I should, though.

Maybe I should get back into town.

BOBBY: Well, hello.

Hi.

Charlie, you remember Pam, don't you?

Yeah, how are you?

I'm fine, thank you.

Bobby, can we go now?

Yes, we can go. Charlie has to go riding.

Well, I understand that. Nice to see you again, Charlie.

- Bye. - Why don't you go ahead? I'll be right there.

All right. Come on, kid.

- Well, aren't you coming in? PAM: No, I don't think so, Sue Ellen.

Thanks for the lunch, I'll call you later.

- All right, bye-bye. - Bye.

Pam.

Yes?

Bobby told me you're getting married.

Yes, that's right.

I wanted to wish you the best of luck.

Well, thank you. I imagine you and Bobby will be announcing your wedding soon.

I'm not so sure.

Well, that surprises me. Why not?

He hasn't asked me.

Pam, I don't think Bobby is going to be ready to many anyone for a while.

If it is me, I just wanted to let you know that I'll try to make him very happy.

Well, I'm sure you can do that, Jenna.

And he deserves to be happy.

HARRY: J.R.?

Hello, Harry.

- Fix yourself a drink. - Thanks.

Hey, I'm sorry about the delay, but I've been really busy.

I'm tired of fooling around with this kid, Peter Richards.

It's time to lower the boom on him.

Okay.

You want me to pick the time and place?

Mm-hmm. Just so long as it's soon.

Well, it might take a couple of days to set it up.

Whatever time it takes.

I've got some good news for you from San Angelo.

You got something on Clayton Fallow?

I contacted someone who was around at the time of the fire at the Southern Cross.

So?

Fallow brought bulldozers, leveled the ruins before the embers had a chance to cool.

You telling me he was trying to cover up any signs of arson?

That's exactly what my contact said.

He said rumors were flying all over San Angelo.

In fact, they still haven't been laid to rest.

Well, I want you to pump this contact of yours for eyewitnesses.

Our time is growing short, Harry.

It Fallow torched that place to cover up the murder of his wife...

...I sure wanna know before he marries my mama.

That's the kind of information that could bring this wedding to a screeching halt.

Hi.

I thought you'd be asleep.

Hi.

No, I've just got a lot on my mind.

Sweetheart, why don't you put your work away for a while?

You'll feel fresher in the morning.

Is that my file?

Is this all the money you have from what my mother left you?

Why are you going through my bankbook and my bank statements?

You know, I don't understand how you can spend money that fast.

What are you doing? This is personal. It's none of your business how I spend money.

I wanna show you something. You got a withdrawal for $100,000.

What the hell did you spend $100,000 on?

I bought my mother a house.

You bought your mother a house in Biloxi for $100,000?

- What'd you buy, a mansion? - No, just a house.

How far do you think 100,000 goes nowadays?

Lookit, here's a withdrawal for 10,000. here's one for 20,000.

Yes, yes, I bought my mother a car and I bought one for Mitch.

- Mitch? Mitch is a doctor. - No, he is a resident.

And if you'll go and check further, you'll find out...

...I bought a car for myself, which you use every single time yours is in the shop.

And I bought myself clothes. I wanna know what you're doing with my bankbooks.

I happen to temporarily be in a financial bind.

And I need all the cash I can lay my hands on.

So you just thought you would help yourself to mine.

Well, you don't have to worry about it, you don't have money to buy coffee...

...for the kitchens in the rigs for 24 hours.

Oh, but you're saying if there had been more, you would have just taken it.

I wanna show you something. That's a joint account. My name's on that too.

Cliff, I only did that in case of an emergency.

[CHUCKLING]

With the way you spend money, the only emergency you could handle now...

...maybe, is a new tire.

For your mom's new car that's parked in front of her new house.

Cliff, let me tell you something. I have enough money left in here...

...to rent my own apartment and make my own way without you.

Oh, well, that's characteristic, you just walk out now.

You're really in trouble, aren't you?

I'll handle it.

I'm sorry about yesterday.

You mean about Pam and Jenna meeting?

It was bound to happen sooner or later.

I know, but it was an awkward few minutes.

If I knew Jenna was going to be here, I'd never have asked Pam to drive me home.

Oh, forget it.

We just have to get used to the idea around here that partners have changed, that's all.

Oh, is there someone else thinking about another marriage?

Well, I'm not sure.

I like Jenna a lot, but I'm not sure I feel about her...

...the same way I did when we were younger.

Maybe you haven't gotten over Pam.

Yeah, maybe.

You know...

...I really don't understand you and Pam at all.

Yesterday, we had lunch...

...and she was telling me what a terrific guy Mark was...

...and how good he was to her.

But she never mentioned once that she loved him.

- So? - Don't you think that's strange?

She's marrying him, isn't she?

Yes.

Well, strange or not, that's all that counts.

You seem awfully bubbly this morning.

You know, finally I feel like my life is beginning to move in the right direction.

With only one small hitch.

What's that?

Oh, nothing important. Just a man I've been trying to get out of my life.

Well, you need some help?

Oh, no. I'm sure by the time you and Mark get married, he'll be out of my life forever.

Pam, what is it?

It's just, every time I think about the wedding...

You know, I saw Bobby with Charlie and Jenna yesterday.

Where?

At Southfork.

Katherine, it hurt so much seeing them all together.

They're starting to look like a real family.

You're not thinking about backing out on Mark, are you?

No.

I couldn't do that.

Peter, when we finish the birdhouse, where should we hang it?

Well, how about out by the stables?

I thought I could nail it outside my window.

[PETER CHUCKLING]

I don't think Grandma would appreciate that.

I can ask her.

Hello there.

Lucy, how do you like the birdhouse that Peter and I built?

It's very nice.

John Ross, would you mind if I talked to Peter alone for a few minutes?

Okay, I'll go talk to Grandma about the birdhouse.

Oh, I'll take the brush.

[PETER SIGHING]

I can understand if you don't wanna talk to me.

But I still have to apologize for what I said at the party.

Okay.

Well, I guess I was drunk, feeling rejected.

What I did was stupid.

Look, I'd just like to forget the whole thing, Lucy.

Can you?

Sure.

Listen...

...I've been a little tough on you.

I've had some personal problems...

...that I, uh, don't wanna talk about.

But you tried to be friendly.

And I've been rude.

So I think there's some apologies due all around.

Okay.

Friends?

Friends.

Grandma said to put it near the stable.

Wait, wait, wait. That's still wet, you silly goose.

LUCY: Have fun. - We haven't finished painting it over here.

- See? - Oh, yeah.

Well, that was definitely not terrific.

A meeting with my tax accountant's more exciting.

KATHERINE: Your disappointment has really shattered me.

Well, you can relax, honey.

I won't be putting you through this sort of thing again.

This is the last time I'll be coming to you.

Hmm. I'd like to believe that.

Oh, it's true, it's true. Too bad we couldn't have gone out in a blaze of glory.

Yeah, too bad.

You see, when I came to you...

...and wanted to buy those fields Wentworth Industry owns...

...and you turned around and made the deal with Bobby, that clinched it.

What difference does it make to you? Ewing ended up with the fields.

Well, it made me realize how much wealth you control.

You know, I always felt deep down...

...that Jenna Wade was a better mate for Bobby than you.

Well, now I know why.

And I don't suppose I can stop you from telling me.

You just have too damn much money, Katherine.

Uh, putting you together with Bobby could double his assets, maybe even triple them.

And I don't want him to have that much power.

You don't? Well, there's nothing you can do about it.

Oh, I've already done it, honey.

I played the tape for Bobby of you and me in bed.

It's all over, Katherine.

He'll never marry you.

I'll kill you, J.R.!

Well, who says this life as a cowboy is so rough, huh?

[LAUGHING]

Well, it sure wasn't you, especially since you have a wonderful wile...

...who drives all the way out here just to bring you lunch.

That's real nice, Donna.

[ALL LAUGHING]

You know, you eat a lot less than any cowboy I ever saw before.

Oh, I'm just not hungry, that's all.

Well, you ought to be, you've been out here since sunrise.

- Is there something bothering you? - No.

Can I ask you something personal?

Now, what would you like to know?

Well, I noticed that since your sister's been here, you've been real uncomfortable.

Hey, that's a lot more than personal. That is prying.

I think I am being told to mind my own business.

Oh, I don't mind talking about it, Donna.

And maybe you're right.

I guess I've always been uncomfortable around Jessie.

Maybe I'm a little too conservative, but I just think that she's a little too outspoken.

A little too wild.

I pulled her out of a lot of scrapes when she was young.

That was a long time ago.

I know.

And maybe she's changed a little, but I still think she's unpredictable.

I think you just need a little time to get reacquainted.

Maybe, but I don't think so.

I think we'd both feel happier once she moves on.

Do you think she's planning on staying in Texas after the wedding?

Donna, I think it'd be better for both of us it she went back right to England.

Thanks a lot for lunch, honey.

You're welcome, both of you.

See you later.

CLAYTON: Thanks, Donna.

MCDOWALL: All right, Mr. Barnes, if you'll sign one bill of sale for Kasey...

...and one for Murphy.

Then I can give you this cashier's check for 12 million.

Okay.

This money came through a lot faster than I expected.

Yeah. Well, I'm not surprised.

Property's worth $30 million.

Here's your money.

- Is there anything else I can do for you? - Yeah, tell me who the buyer was.

Oh, I'm sorry. That's confidential.

But it doesn't really matter.

No.

It doesn't matter.

Goodbye.

[SIGHING]

Susan, come in here, please.

Yes, Cliff?

Uh, deliver this to Wakefield right away.

- He's gotta get that in the bank today. - Yes, sir.

[PHONE RINGING]

- Barnes-Wentworth. LELAND: Hello, this is Vaughn Leland.

Is Cliff Barnes there, please?

Just a minute, please. Vaughn Leland?

- Yeah. Get that to Wakefield. - Okay.

- Yeah, Vaughn. - Cliff.

I wanted to let you know, I went to the mat for you with my board of directors...

...on the Murphy, Kesey lands.

- Yeah, I appreciate you trying. - Na, no, no, you don't understand.

I was able to convince the board of directors to let you use them as collateral.

They'll go for another 20-million-dollar loan.

Hold on.

Uh, Susan.

Susan! Hold on.

Susan.

Susan?

- What? - Where's McDowall?

He left.

He made a short phone call after leaving your office and then headed to the elevator.

- Vaughn? - Yeah, I'm still here.

Well, I just sold the Murphy and Kesey land.

Oh. Well...

...I did my best for you.

Goodbye.

[J.R. CHUCKLING]

Well, I have Kesey and Murphy...

...and Mr. Barnes is gonna have a very expensive dry hole.

[WHINNYING]

- Where's your future stepson? CLAYTON: You mean Ray?

Well, he's got a few more chores to do. He'll be along soon.

You still work the herd like a young man, Clayton.

Thank you.

Were you out there watching?

Yeah, I was watching.

I had to see with my own eyes you stoop to work another man's ranch.

Hey, wait a minute.

I'm not exactly a hired hand around here.

Might just as well be.

All right...

...what's this all about?

You should be doing all this at the Southern Cross. This isn't your place, never will be.

None of your business.

I was all alone at the Southern Cross. I had no one to share it with.

You didn't have to sell it.

It was Steven's inheritance, his roots, you had no right.

I had every right.

Dusty didn't care about the Southern Cross.

All he cared about was the rodeo circuit and he found a wife that shares that with him.

Rodeoing won't last forever.

He'll settle down when he and his wife have a baby. He'll want a place then.

Jessica, I made a decision that I thought was the correct one.

You have no right to come all the way over here from England...

-...and question me about it now. - No right?

Who banished me to England in the first place? You've no right.

Clayton...

...I have every right.

[SIREN WAILING]

MAN [ON RADIO]: Just a minute.

- Na, we have nothing on it. NORTON: Thank you.

MAN: Well, will you look at this?

- Is that what I think it is? - I think you'd better read him his rights.

“You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

You have the right to talk with an attorney, before and during questioning.

If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed, free, to represent you...

...before and during questioning, if you desire.“

- You're home early, Mr. Ewing. - Mmm.

- Everybody out? - Uh, Miss Lucy's in her room.

Mmm, thanks.

[DOOR BANGS]

J.R.: Jessica.

Say, Jessica, is something wrong?

- There's plenty wrong. - Well, you wanna talk about it?

There's nothing much to say. I had a fight with Clayton.

Oh, why?

I'm angry. He never should have sold the Southern Cross.

It should have gone to Dusty.

We", hold on. I can understand you being upset...

...but why so angry?

You don't understand.

Amy died so we could keep the Southern Cross, not sell it.
