"Here are some scenes from the first half of tonight's story." "This is my wife." "Honey, this is Gary." "My brother Gary." "Jock!" " Yes, Ellie?" " Jock!" " What's wrong?" " Nothing." "He's coming home." " Who's coming home?" " Gary." "Hello, Mama." "Oh, Gary." " Gary." " Daddy." "Mama, you're gonna come back to the ranch with us, aren't you?" " Daddy." " It's settled, then." "I'll call and tell them we're coming." "I told that girl never to set foot in Texas again." "Come on, J.R., can't you forget the past?" "He's here now with my other boys, with his daughter." "He's gonna bring that girl?" "She's nothing but a tramp." " Hi, Daddy." " Where's Pam?" "She went to see her daddy." "It's pretty bad." "He's in the drunk ward." "Same old Digger Barnes, huh?" "The same old Digger Barnes who had the guts to come here and try and bury the hatchet." "And left drunk and broken again because of you." "That's the same Digger Barnes who won't even see Pamela." "That's enough!" "He's a loser, Sue Ellen." "He's been a loser every day of his life." "Now, if he wants something, he's gonna lose it all by himself." "No, he'll mess up this visit without any help from me." "You can count on that." "In a moment, the story will continue." " Aunt Maggie." " Pamela." "You shouldn't have come." " Well, I have to see him." " Digger's not a pretty sight." "I know, I've seen it before." "He put you through a lot." "Well, thank goodness he had you to take care of him." "If only my brother would take a little more care of himself." "Come on, let's go." "In the back." "Thanks." "Daddy." "Daddy." "He's almost out of the woods this time." "This time?" "Daddy, I'm sorry." "Gary, stop, please." "It's so peaceful." "It's really a beautiful place." "I can't believe what's waiting for us inside:" "J.R. and your daddy." "It's like I told you, Val." "Jock's easier." "He's not so hard anymore, and J.R.'s fine, almost like a real brother." "They're really glad Daddy's back." "J.R. says one thing, and he does something else." "But I told you about Pam, Bobby's wife." "She's living there." "J.R. doesn't bother her." "Her husband's with her." "That means a lot." "Look, I know it's no excuse but when I left here 16 years ago, I didn't think they'd make you leave too." " Yeah, I know." " I thought I'd be back." "All I knew was, I couldn't breathe on this ranch." " But we would have gone with you." " To go where?" "To do what?" "I wasn't good for anything." "Oh, that was your big brother talking, not you." "I didn't do much thinking on my own in those days." "As soon as you left, J.R. got rid of me." "I snuck back for Lucy and took her, but they sent some old boys after me." " They scared me half to death." " Oh, Val." "They weren't fooling." "If I'd have come back to Texas then I believe they'd have killed me as soon as look at me." "But what did I have?" "Nothing." "At least I knew Miss Ellie would raise Lucy right." "But I'd rather have you." "Thank you, sugar." "Did you ever get married again?" "No." "You?" "No." "Let's go." "Well, Valene, you still look like a teenager." "Thank you." " Of course, you remember Mama." " Hello, Mrs. Ewing." "This is my wife, Sue Ellen." " Hi." " Welcome to Southfork, Valene." "And Bobby, of course." "Val, this is great." "You make Gary's homecoming complete." "Thank you." " Valene." " Mr. Ewing." " Is your wife here?" " Pam's daddy's sick." "She'll be back later." "Valene, Gary and I have been trying to bury the hatchet and I hope you and I will be able to do the same." "Well, I guess so." "Sure." "We were all young and hotheaded in those days." "I guess I was the worst offender of us all." "Now we got the makings of a fine family." "Just don't stand here." "Let's have some food." "Great." "I'm starving." "Aunt Maggie, can't we take him away from here?" "As soon as they calm him down." " This is an awful place." " Well, he doesn't know, hon." "I know." "Pamela, he may not go anywhere with you." "Of course he will." "He's my daddy, and I wanna take care of him." "Not now, girl." "He doesn't want you to." "He's bitter." " I won't let him be." " Pamela..." "When I get him home, I'll work on him, try to get him to see you but until I do, stay away." " But I..." " No buts." "You gotta stop thinking of you, girl, and think of him." "Yeah." "Yeah." " Hey." " How are you, Ray?" " It's been a long time." " Good to see you." "Good to see you." " I hear you run the place now." " Yeah." "Well, J.R. told me to take good care of you, said you'd be staying on." "I don't know." "This was my first love." "I never could figure out the oil business." "Yeah." "Well, we try to keep everything around the ranch up-to-date now with all the latest equipment since your daddy's taken such an interest in the ranching." " You do okay, then?" " You bet." "It just seems to me we could be raising four or five times as many head of cattle." "I suppose so, but there'd be no profit in it." " Why?" " Subsidies." "Better off not raising them." " I got the books here in the pickup." " Oh, no, that's okay." "The ranch keeps you and Daddy pretty busy." "No." "Tell the truth, I could handle it alone but old Jock seems to be really enjoying himself." " Ray, it's good to see you." " Listen, Gary, a big spread like this can always use another good man." "Yeah, thanks." " See you, now." " Right." "So long." "Daddy, I was just telling Mama that since neither of you got married again you both must still be carrying torches." "If I carried a torch, I'd have blown myself up a dozen times from all the alcohol on my breath." " Daddy, we have to talk about the future." " Like I've been telling you, sweetheart the three of us hardly know each other yet." "You two can get to know each other for real now." " We can try." " lf we stay close." "Did you find out anything from him?" "Yes, Krebbs and Daddy run the place, and well." "Nothing for me." "You could fire Ray Krebbs and run the ranch yourself." " I wouldn't do that, Lucy." " Why not?" "He isn't much." "Lucy, I won't do it, that's all." "Honey, don't push him." " You folks enjoying yourselves?" " Yes." "Well, you just keep on enjoying yourselves as long as you like." "Hey, listen to me." "Giving permission to a Ewing to enjoy Ewing land." "Well, let me tell you why I drove down here, Gary." "I was thinking about you staying here and I got an idea that was so exciting that I couldn't wait till y'all got back." " What is it?" " Not too long ago Ewing Oil acquired a little company that turned out to be a jewel." "It distributes petroleum byproducts the guck that's left when we finish doing what we do to the crude and it's running about 5, 10 percent efficiency." "And even at that rate, it's turning in a nice, steady profit." "And I thought it would be a great project for you." " For me?" " I tell you, it is a can't-miss operation." "A little common sense and capital and you'll turn that nice, steady profit into a big, fat profit before you know it." "I don't know anything about that business." "If I stay, I was thinking about working the ranch." "Well, I can see you've been talking to Ray Krebbs." "I suppose he told you this place runs itself." " Yeah, I know." " The nice thing about this, Gary is you don't have to learn hardly anything." "Like I said, a little capital, tender loving care run the company like it's been run put in some new machinery, a few changes here and there and you gonna have it made." "And you can run it any way you want." "And I don't have to tell you that Dad and I will be 100% behind you." " I don't know." " You think about it." "Thanks, J.R. Thank you." "I appreciate it and I will think about it." " Good boy." " J.R., I'm gonna go ride back with you." " Just you?" " Yeah." "You think we can trust these two lovebirds alone?" "Nope." "That's why I wanna leave them here." "Get in there, cutie." " Gary?" " Yeah?" "You gotta get away from here." " Didn't you hear?" "It's fine." " I heard." "Pack your bags and go on out to California." "Or anyplace." " I don't understand." "What's wrong?" " J.R. is coming after you." "Now, I'll move too, maybe." "We'll keep in touch and if it all works out, we can come back for Lucy." " Now, wait a minute, Val..." " You can't wait." "He's gonna do it again to you, to us and to Lucy." " Come on, Val." "He's just..." " Can't you see?" "He's doing something." "It's gonna leave you wrung out and tossed away like the last time." "When he gets through with you, he's gonna come after me." "And then Lucy isn't gonna have either one of us again." "Why don't you tell me why it was so bad?" " Bobby, he didn't even recognize me." " I hate to see you get so worked up." " Now, Digger is going to be all right." " His body can't take much more of this." "And Maggie, poor Maggie, is turning her life into a trial." " Bobby, I've got to go help her." " You said she asked you to stay away." "I don't know if I can." "Pam, come here." "You haven't met my mama." " Hi, Pam." " Hello, Valene." " I'm sorry, I promised Gary I'd be around." " Oh, no, no, no." "That's all right." " I heard about your daddy." " How is he?" "He's pretty sick." " Bobby, Daddy's got some good news." " Well, it's a little premature, honey." " Come on, now." "What is it?" " J.R.'s got a company for Daddy to run." "J.R.?" "No kidding." "Well, that's nice." "Bobby, I've got to go." "Don't you wanna hear about Daddy's job?" "It's not settled." "Well, Gary, I hate to be rude." "I wanna hear all about it later, okay?" "Why don't you just wait until you hear from Maggie." "Maggie brought him home." "Bobby, I need to see him." "Okay?" "Gary, I thought you'd wanna look at some of this stuff." " I'll go see what's going on." " Thanks, Bobby." "Daddy's gonna do a great job, you'll see." "The essential material is still in the office in town so I want you to look this over careful before you meet the lawyers." " Lawyers?" " Don't let him throw you." "He did the same thing on my first day, and it's no sweat." "There's no hurry." "I just want you to meet the right people so you can make a decision." "Now, I told Mama about this." "And I don't mind telling you you got one happy lady out there in that garden." "Bob." " I came anyway." " So I see." "Where is he?" "Sleeping." "What's in the bag?" "I stopped along the way." "I picked up magazines, paperbacks, a couple puzzles." " He won't want to see you, Pamela." " Well, I want to see him." "Ever since the barbecue, I've been trying to get to him." "And he's been running away." "Aunt Maggie does he know about my miscarriage?" "I told him." "I don't know if it registered or not." "It's hard to tell with Digger." "Why is he trying to cut me out of his life?" "I expect going to that Ewing barbecue made everything so real to him your being a Ewing." "And seeing Jock with that fine ranch and all those important friends, which Digger thinks he stole from him." "And when Jock humiliated him there..." "I know." "Digger's blamed Jock Ewing for all the misfortune he ever had." "And some of the blame is Jock's, but not all." "We've always known that." "According to Digger, everything bad is Ewing-made." ""Jock Ewing stole everything." He's said it so often he believes it." "And when you married Jock Ewing's boy..." "I proved everything he'd been saying all along." "Well." "I bet this house looks tiny to you now." "I love this house." "Think about it." "You raised me and Cliff and Jimmy and cared for Digger all in this one little house." "I think it's remarkable." "Not remarkable, I..." "I enjoyed it." "Most of it." "You must leave, Pamela." "It's much too soon for a reunion." "No, it's not." " Hi, Daddy." " I don't want you here." "What?" "I don't want you here." "Oh, Daddy." "Your name's still Ewing." " Please listen." " Not to a Ewing." " Daddy, try to understand." " I did try." "I went out there, and he done it to me again." "I know." "I'm so sorry I made you come." "But I love my husband, Daddy." "What can I do?" "I love him." "He's a Ewing." "Then leave that place." " Do what?" " Jock Ewing." "He done it to me again, like he always done it, and you watched." "And you're still there." "You're still under his roof." " Well, that don't make no sense to me." " I'm trying to make some sense of it." " I don't want you here." " Oh, Daddy." " Get out." " I won't." " Get out." "Out." " Daddy, you're not supposed to..." " Daddy, now, please..." " Get out." "You're dead." "Can't you see that?" " Daddy, don't!" " You're dead to me." " No!" " Dead!" "Dead!" "Dead!" "Come on, bookworm, put it away." " You can get back to it later." " I don't know." "How long has it been since you were on a horse?" " Years." " Think you can still ride?" "I can outride you any day." "Does Daddy still tie you in the saddle?" "I'll show you who ties who in a saddle." "Squirt's gonna beat up his big brother." " Two out of three." " Can you get up after the first one?" " Big as you are." " Old man." "You boys wanna try out for a tag team?" "Come on, J.R. He comes home you load him down with paperwork." "We're gonna go for a ride." "Okay, I just thought Gary was anxious to get started on the project." "Well, what's the rush?" "There's always tomorrow, then tomorrow, then tomorrow." "Bobby's been on the road so long he's got permanent jet lag." "He has no conception of time whatsoever." "Gary, what do you say?" "I'll go saddle a couple horses." "Well, now, Gary does have a lot of catching up to do." "He has a little daughter that he wants to respect him and maybe even a wife again." "I've noticed that Valene still cares." "J.R., I'm talking about a break, not a vacation." "Okay, okay." " I better stay." " Gary..." "We can ride any time." " Where's Lucy?" " Oh, she went for a ride." "I told her to." "She's so excited about her daddy she can't sit still." "It's all working out just fine." "Lucy has her mother and daddy back." " Mrs. Ewing..." " Ellie." "Ellie." "I never thanked you for taking care of Lucy." "Valene, you don't have to thank a grandmother for doing what's natural." "But she's grown up so sweet and loving." "She's been showing you the good side." "Wait until you've been around a while then you'll see the kind of trouble she can get into." "Well, I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to be around." "Of course you will." "It's time you took charge of Lucy." "She can talk to you about things that she'd never tell her grandmother." " I don't know about Gary." " I do." "I can see the way he looks at you." "Oh, no, no, no, I don't mean that." "I don't know if he should stay." "Of course he should." "What happened before won't happen again." "I'll see to that." "I hope so." "I guess if you say so, then that makes it true." "What are you doing?" "Trying to decide whether to leave or fight." "Well, I wouldn't leave." "But then, I don't know who you plan on fighting." " Can I talk to you for a minute?" " Sure." " Bobby, what's J.R. doing to Gary?" " He gave him some papers to read." "You were just a child the last time." "You don't know what this does to Gary." "Val, Gary wants to work." "He can take care of himself." "Yeah, but J.R.'s driving him away." "Gary's no businessman." "He's over his head with a shopping cart in front of him." "You're exaggerating." "Gary's a lot more settled now." "And I took a look at those books." "That company's as solid as a rock." "But this is just the kind of pressure he cannot take." "Okay." "Okay, you tell Gary to take it nice and slow." "If he doesn't like the job, I'll find him something else, okay?" "Thanks." "You certainly did embrace that boy with brotherly love giving him that business to run." "This tax revolt is sure shaking the politicians up." "I just love it." " What was that, honey?" " You weren't listening to me..." " I'm sorry." "What?" " It was about Gary." "Oh, he's working." "Got his nose to the grindstone, trying to save a sinking ship." " Hi." " Bobby." " Hello." " I thought I'd find Gary out here." "No, I think he's still in the study." "Maybe this isn't the right business for Gary to get into now." "Well, it's not exactly a multiple-choice operation." "We don't have businesses from A to Z, you know." "But why any business?" "What's the hurry?" "Because we're gonna make a mint." "That business just fell into our laps." "It'll get Gary started, Mama will be happy, we'll live happily ever after." "That sounds fair enough." "I guess I don't know what he can do." " I never really knew him." " Well, you'll surely get to know him now." "I hope so." "I like him a lot." "I like having another brother." "Well, you can't have too many brothers, now, can you?" "Don't do anything to him, J.R." "Well, I like that." "I go out of my way to make my brother's future secure..." "Fine." "And when it is secure, I'll be the first to thank you but meanwhile, just be on the level, okay?" "I always am, in my fashion." "You know that." "Pam." " Digger okay?" " Fit as a fiddle." " He's over the worst part, Daddy." " Well, that's good." "Where is he?" " You going to send him a get-well card?" " He's at Pam's Aunt Maggie's." "If I can do anything at all, let me know." "You've done more than enough already." "If it helps you to keep this up, keep it up but I got a feeling it doesn't help at all." "It does help." "Barnes, what in the hell do you think you're doing?" "Returning gifts to the Ladies' Auxiliary." "There they are: magazines, quarter books, jigsaw puzzles, whatever." "Gifts for the poor and infirm." " Daddy." " Cease." "I have business to discuss." "Now, sir, I refuse charity." "So you refuse." "Now, get off of this ranch." "I refuse charity, but those things which are rightfully mine, I accept." "Well, now, what's rightfully yours this time?" " Something there's no doubt about." " What do you want?" "Now, you took my oil wells and gave me nothing in return." "I'm sick and tired of hearing that!" "You took my oil wells and my money and my sweetheart and I never got a cent for them." "Well, that's ancient history." "Well, what do you want?" " Money." " For what?" "The only thing I had that you couldn't get." "Do you mean to tell me that you want money for Pamela?" "Well, she was a Barnes and now she's a Ewing, just like the oil wells." "You're unbearable, Barnes." "How much do you want?" "Ten thousand." "Ten thousand." "There's 100." "Sold." " You all right, honey?" " I'm fine." " You sure?" " Yeah." "You know why?" "Because I just don't care anymore." " You don't mean that." " Yes, I do." "I mean exactly that." "He's an old fool and a drunk, and I've had it." "The sooner I wash away the smell of him, the better off I'll be." "I'm sorry." "I wish there was something I could do." "I'm okay." "I'll handle it." " Got a second?" " Sure, come on in." "I'm sorry about what happened today." " It was quite a scene, huh?" " It's a laugh a minute around here." "Oh, just wait and see." "How are you doing?" "Oh, fine." "I read the first page of this report 16 times." " It's that complicated?" " It's not complicated at all." "It's just that every time I start to read, I find myself thinking about..." "Anything." "Whether my blue plaid shirt is at the laundry or..." "Hey, wait a minute." "You're just nervous." "Stop trying so hard." " Yeah." " May I?" "Oh, sure." " Feeling better, Pam?" " Yes, ma'am." "Thank you." " You won't be up too late, will you?" " No, ma'am." " Hi, Daddy." " Oh, hi, sweetheart." "You must know all about this business by now." "You don't have to read everything tonight." "I thought I'd just like to read one thing tonight." "Well, I'm going to bed, so knock yourself out." "I hear." "Lucy, you best come with us." "Leave your daddy to his studies." "Good night, sweetheart." " Oh, no." " Get some towels!" "No, it's okay." "I'll get it." "I'll get it." " Oh, Gary, it's all right." " Is this really important?" "Let me get these papers." "Don't get it on your clothes." "Maybe J.R.'s still up." "Does he have some copies?" "Do you think J.R. has a copy?" "Do you think...?" "Is J.R. still up?" "I don't know." "Ask Gary." "It's only a glass of milk, damn it!" "Leave me alone!" "Lucy, he's only embarrassed." "Leave him be." "Gary, please." "Gary." "Did you take that drink?" "Oh, no." "But I was ready to." "A couple of days here, and I was almost back to the bottle." " But you don't have to leave this way." " It's the only way I can leave." "If I stay here, it'll tear this family apart." "I can see it happening already." "They're better off just thinking that I ran away." "But what about Lucy?" "You're not gonna tell her?" "I'll never be the kind of father that she wants, at least not here." "She's better off staying here and hating me than hating the Ewings." "With me, she'd just travel around the country with no schooling, no stability." " Yeah, but you're her daddy." " It's not enough." "She needs home, family, friends." "When they find you gone how long do you think they're gonna let me hang around?" "Val, I can't stay." "You know what?" "I was gonna come to you just now." "That's how I knew you was gone." " For old times' sake?" " No, for new times' sake." "It would have been nice." "It still can be nice." "Come on back." "I can't." " You know what the thing is?" " No." "I'm all right." "It took me a long time to realize that." "I just don't belong with them, and there's nothing wrong with that." "No." "I'm gonna be fine but somewhere else." "Maybe you best do the same." "Gary?" "I never loved nobody the way I loved you." "Like I told Lucy, you was the prettiest thing I ever saw." "You still are." "Bye, Val." "You'll catch your death on a morning like this." "I'll catch my death anywhere around you." "Then don't hang around me, honey." "You handled this one perfectly." "Modesty forbids my agreement, but you're right." " So, what's my future?" " None around here." "Any choices?" "Well, $5000 and an escort out of the state?" " Any others?" " An escort out of the state." "There was no reason for this." "You took a little girl's daddy and you lost yourself a brother for nothing." "I wouldn't call another brother in my hair "nothing."" "He wouldn't have been in your hair!" "He would've brought you nothing but his old, good self, something you could've used." "Go get dressed." " Where are you going?" " Gonna write you a check." "Don't bother." "You have taken everything from me:" "my child and my husband." "The one thing you can't do is buy me with your Ewing money." "Ellie." "Would you like it if I'd walk with you?" "No, Jock, I wanna be alone." "We all got our hopes up too high." "People just don't change that much, Ellie." "It all fell apart, Jock." "For the life of me, I can't figure out why." " Lucy, I don't think you're being fair." " I don't care." "I really don't." "You should have seen the way he acted last night because of that milk." "Maybe there's a little more to it than that." "Like what?" "J.R., I think there's some questions that only you got the answer to." "I don't think we ought to discuss it now." "The child's upset." "If he ever comes back here again I wanna know so I can be somewhere else." "Lucy, he's still your daddy!" "Where did you say my mama went?" "Honey, I think she went looking for him." "Well, she'll be back." "At least I know that." " I thought I told you..." " I know what you told me." "I don't buy it." "You're a drunk, Daddy." "You do idiotic, drunken things, and I'm ashamed of you." " I don't marry Ewings." " I did." "I did, and I'm glad because Bobby's a decent man." "He doesn't smell like you and I don't have to be ashamed of him the way I am of you." "I love him and he loves me, and that's that." "The rest, we have to put up with." "Like he puts up with that frog of a father, the rancher, I have to put up..." "You don't have to put up with nothing!" "I do." "Because you're the only father I have, and I'm not ready to be an orphan." "Next to Jock Ewing, you're the most unwholesome man I know." "But I love you and you're not getting rid of me." "Is that clear?" "No." " Clear?" "!" " No, get out." " I'll be back." " Never." "I won't see you." "Yes, you will." "Pammy!" "Don't be stupid." "Keep it." "The old louse owes you a lot more than that." "That boy shows up here again, I'll wring his neck." "I don't know why we expected anything different." "Different from what?" "You really didn't mean that question seriously, did you, dear?" "Well, yes, I did, dear." "Different from the other Ewings?" "From what you expected?" " From what?" " Well, both." "I think you answered your own question." "Was that so terrible?" "Really, Pamela, this is no time for a debate." "For Pamela." "I'd like to hear the answer to that question." "You what?" " You saw what he did to his mother." " Gary has no character." "That's what hadn't changed." "Character, the kind with the Ewing brand on it." " About gets to the heart of it." " You mean a man has no character if he doesn't wanna play the survival games we play." "He's weak." "Let's face it." "He's just weak." "You'd label any man weak who didn't stick a knife in somebody's back to earn a buck." "I'm gonna let that pass." "You're worried about him..." "I'm trying very hard to understand you, J.R." "To understand the way this family thinks." "Now, what is so wrong about a man being gentle instead of ruthless?" "Well, sometimes a man has to become ruthless or somebody will walk into your house, take everything." "Sometimes, J.R., not all the time." "I like Gary." "I like his sense of humor." "I like his way of looking at things." "You like the way he ran out on his girl twice?" "You like the way he broke his mother's heart?" "You know what, J.R.?" "I don't think Gary ran out." " I think he was pushed." " Bobby, don't fault J.R." "We all did our best to make him welcome." "I know you tried your best, Daddy, Mama but you knew that Gary had no head for business and yet you kept on pushing." " You're reaching, boy." " Damn it, J.R., I liked having him around." "This family needed him." "He's a good man." "And you managed to convince him being a good man just wasn't quite good enough." "I stood by and let you get away with it and for that, right now, I'm ashamed of being a Ewing." "But I'm proud to have Gary Ewing as my brother." "Okay, well, if she comes back, tell her to call me, all right?" "Thanks, Pete." "She didn't go back to the diner." "Maybe she found him and is gonna bring him back and straighten him..." "Not gonna happen, Lucy." "What?" "When I told you that she went looking for him I was trying to protect you." "If you got anything to say, J.R., say it." "I don't think it'd be wise, Daddy." "I think that Lucy should know the truth rather than holding on to fantasies." "I don't want this child hurt any more." "Well, somebody tell me." "Oh, J.R." "What is it?" "Five thousand dollars to my mama." "For what?" "It's just what she asked for, honey, before she left." "For leaving?" "I know the truth hurts sometimes, but..." "Well, in the old days, they used to kill the bearer of bad news." "I guess I got off lucky." "Subtitles by SDI Media Group" "[ENGLISH]"
