00:00Just stand up and listen.
00:01Now, wait a minute, stop it!
00:03Money and force seems to be what you Ewings understand the best.
00:08You're starting to sound like that knee-jerk radical brother of yours.
00:11If he doesn't do something, the Ewing family is going to control everyone and everything.
00:15There's bound to be a body in that closet someplace.
00:18Find him.
00:19Do you think I would deliberately betray you?
00:21You live with vipers, you become a viper.
00:24I don't know how to fight by your rules, but someday I will.
00:27And you're going to pay for what you've done to my brother.
01:25I don't know how to fight by your rules.
01:27I don't know how to fight by your rules.
01:57I don't know how to fight by your rules.
01:57That's why we called you here.
01:59We've got to find somebody who can beat Cliff Barnes in this election.
02:04Any, uh, suggestions?
02:06Bo Kenny. He's interested, and I think he can pull it off.
02:10He just became head of the rifle club.
02:12No, not Kenny.
02:14What's your problem, J.R.?
02:15I had a big alimony suit about three years ago, made all papers.
02:18Three years? Hell, the public's memory's only three days long.
02:22Yeah, but Cliff Barnes' memory's a lot longer.
02:25Careful, Jordan, you're talking about a relative of Bobby's.
02:29Any other ideas?
02:31You got anything for us, Wade?
02:34Martin Cole.
02:36Cole?
02:38Who's that, J.R.?
02:41Fort Worth.
02:43Oh, yeah, yeah.
02:44City councilman in Fort Worth moved here about two years ago.
02:47He's a churchgoer, married to Senator Orloff's niece, Nancy,
02:51father of two daughters, has good law practice.
02:54He just came out against gun control, and is as clean as they come.
02:57Even Barnes couldn't get anything on him.
02:59You think you'll cooperate?
03:03What do you know about this guy, Cole, Bobby?
03:06Daddy's dull, but he's clean and honest.
03:09All right.
03:10Anything else?
03:11Any other suggestions?
03:16Cole, it is.
03:18Bobby would handle the campaign founding just like he did with Wild Bill Orloff.
03:21He'll be your inside man.
03:24Won't that cause some trouble at home?
03:27No, I don't think it's going to cause any trouble at home.
03:30My wife is entitled to her opinion in this election.
03:32It is the American way, isn't it?
03:34Bobby can take care of his wife.
03:36He knows where his first loyalty begins.
03:38He's a Ewing.
03:40First and last.
03:41He's with us all the way.
03:51Mr. Barnes, the people I represent have been most impressed with your investigative work.
03:56The way you handled that committee on corruption and the independent oil companies.
04:00In fact, your stand against all corruption.
04:03Well, it's reassuring to know that at least I'm pleasing some of the people some of the time.
04:09Indeed.
04:09And they'd like to show their appreciation and encourage your continued efforts.
04:15They have read my platform.
04:17Of course.
04:18They've paid a great deal of attention to it.
04:21See, and they're aware that there's a strong ecological plank in it
04:27and that if I'm elected, I'm going to do everything I can to stop wasteful oil drillings,
04:33no matter who's responsible.
04:36They know you're a reasonable man
04:38and feel sure you'd put their small gift to good use.
04:43I have a feeling this small gift would wipe out the national debt.
04:49Look for yourself.
04:50No, wait, wait.
04:51No, no, just hold it.
04:52Hold it a minute, Mr. Levitz.
04:53See, I don't think you're getting my drift.
04:55So I want to make it plain to you.
04:58I've spent a lot of time lately fighting the small independent oil companies,
05:03but that doesn't mean that I'm going to hop in bed with the big guys.
05:06That is who you represent, right?
05:08Don't be foolish, Barnes.
05:10They're prepared to make a generous contribution to your campaign,
05:14generous enough to make a major difference.
05:17They can afford to be generous because their profits are obscene.
05:21You know, Jack Dewey, at least he doesn't pose as a patron of the arts and humanities.
05:26He's a barracuda, and he doesn't pretend to be anything else.
05:38I can assure you, there are no strings attached.
05:46There are always strings.
05:49And the invisible ones have a way of becoming visible at the most inconvenient times.
05:54Yes, Mrs. Blight.
05:55Well, the response to the questionnaire seems to indicate a political alliance
05:58with the views of our candidate, Mr. Clifford Barnes.
06:01Hi, Mrs. Ehring.
06:02Yes, can we tell you?
06:03Hi, fine, thank you.
06:07Peter?
06:08Peter Larson, I heard you were here.
06:10Pam!
06:11I got in over the weekend.
06:12Oh, it's good to see you again.
06:13You too.
06:14Come on, I'm looking for that crazy brother of mine.
06:16He's right back here.
06:17You know, I am so excited about this, and I'm so glad you came out to help him.
06:21Hey, what a nice surprise.
06:24What, did you get tired of ringing doorbells?
06:26Oh.
06:27Yeah.
06:27Maybe I can find something creative for you to do.
06:30Like typing addresses in envelopes?
06:32Oh, I don't know.
06:33Well, you talk about it over lunch.
06:35You want to join us?
06:36I'd love to, but I've got a stack of phone calls to get through.
06:39You see that?
06:40You see how devoted he is?
06:42Well, I wish everybody was like that.
06:45I'm buying.
06:50That was good, Cliff.
06:52Any idea who the Ewings are backing?
06:56No.
06:57They're deciding that right now.
06:59Would you tell me if you knew?
07:01Of course I would.
07:03Unless Bobby asked me not to.
07:06Well, whoever it is, you can bet that they're not going to spare any expense now in trying
07:11to get him elected.
07:12Which brings me to a job that I have in mind for you.
07:17I need money.
07:21Yeah.
07:22Hmm?
07:22Uh-huh.
07:23How do you suppose I'm going to come up with that?
07:25Well, I've come up with an idea that won't involve your dipping into your joint checking account.
07:31Well, what a wonderful relief.
07:32Yeah.
07:33The manager of the Texas Club, he's offered me his haul for a benefit.
07:37Now, the hospital association last year had a fashion show.
07:41Raised $50,000.
07:43$50,000.
07:44I can use.
07:45I can use half of that.
07:47Uh-huh.
07:50What do you want me to do, Cliff?
07:52I want you to run a fashion show.
08:00Well, aren't you just overjoyed at the prospect of helping me out?
08:08Well, it's mainly my job.
08:11I just don't know if I'll have the kind of time.
08:14Oh, come on, Pam.
08:16What, you're getting flack from the Ewings because you're involved in my campaign.
08:20Well, what do you think?
08:21Of course I am.
08:23Well, you can't back out now because everybody knows that you're working for me.
08:28And how would it look if my sister were to desert me?
08:30That'd be a great job for public relations, right?
08:33I'm not deserting you, Cliff.
08:35It's just under the circumstances I wanted to keep kind of a low profile.
08:39You can't keep a low profile in politics, and especially when you're related to the candidate.
08:45You know, you're the only one I've got to count on.
08:48I need the money.
08:49And the Ewings and their crowd, they can buy this election.
08:54And if I don't have money for TV time...
08:59I don't stand a chance.
09:06Oh, all right.
09:07Oh, it's going to be hell to pay.
09:10I knew I could count on you.
09:11Yeah, I bet you could.
09:13Hey, listen, you know, with your connections, it's restored.
09:19I stopped by Step 2 is the place this afternoon.
09:22He doesn't like Cole very much, but he says he'll pay.
09:25You better poke this fat out of the fire open enough.
09:28Same goes for Crenshaw.
09:30He's going to ante up on his own.
09:31Hey, good, good.
09:33Oh, hi, sweetie.
09:35Hi.
09:35I'm sorry, I'm late.
09:36We couldn't get out of the office.
09:38That's okay.
09:39I just got home myself.
09:40You know, did you bring all your work home with you?
09:43Well, it's not exactly work, Bobby.
09:45It's for, um...
09:46What, Pam?
09:47How about a couple of drinks, Josh?
09:49Yeah, nice.
09:49Just soda, Josh.
09:51Oh, come on, Ellie.
09:52Bobby.
09:54My goodness, Pat.
09:55It looks like enough work for a week.
09:58What's it about?
10:00Well, I'm organizing a fundraising fashion show...
10:05for Cliff's campaign.
10:07A fashion show.
10:09What a novel idea.
10:12When did all this come up, honey?
10:14Today.
10:15I thought you said she'd just stuff an envelope.
10:18Cliff is my brother, and he asked me to do this,
10:21and I would like to do whatever I can to help.
10:23I'd also prefer to discuss this with Bobby in private.
10:26Well, Bobby don't keep any secrets from his family.
10:29Well, maybe he's not sure which family he belongs to.
10:32That's enough, J.R.
10:33Well, let's see who raises the most money for the candidates.
10:36Bobby or Pam?
10:38Bobby's handling campaign funding just like he did for Wild Bill Orloff.
10:54Oh, I can see it's dinner time.
10:57Not quite, Lucy.
10:58Thanks a lot, J.R.
11:01Anybody want another drink?
11:03I believe I do, Miss Ellie.
11:05You just sit in.
11:06I'll get myself.
11:21Pamela, I think it's time we talked about just what we're doing.
11:26I have to do it, Bobby.
11:27Cliff's my brother, and I have to help him.
11:31I knew it was going to be difficult when you were just stuffing envelopes, honey,
11:34but this, I don't know.
11:36Well, there's no one else to do it.
11:38I mean, he doesn't have the kind of organization behind him
11:41that the Ewing candidate does.
11:43Well, that's the problem, honey.
11:46There is a Ewing candidate, and you are a Ewing.
11:49Now, have you figured out how you're going to handle that?
11:51Yes.
11:52I'm going to help my brother.
11:54Pamela, do you understand what this election means to my family?
11:58Well, I understand exactly what it means to your family.
12:00It's a way to get back at my brother.
12:02Now, you're being simplistic, Pamela, and you know it.
12:04Besides, your brother hasn't exactly had a hands-off policy when it comes to us, now has he?
12:08Well, what do you expect him to do?
12:10If he doesn't do something, the Ewing family is going to control everyone and everything.
12:15Well, stop it, Pamela.
12:15You're starting to sound like that knee-jerk radical brother of yours.
12:18If being a knee-jerk radical means being against exploitation, corruption, and greed,
12:23I'm proud to be one.
12:25Exploitation and corruption of who?
12:26Of what?
12:27Look, my daddy built an empire here because he was smarter than the next guy,
12:31and he worked harder, and he was luckier.
12:33But anybody with the same qualifications can do the same thing.
12:37That's easy to say when you're born rich.
12:39It's the others Cliff's worried about.
12:41Oh, Cliff talks a great game, but when it comes right down to it,
12:44he can play just as dirty as the rest of them.
12:51Well, we see things differently, don't we?
12:56What I see, Pamela, is what this is doing to us.
13:05Well, we've chosen our sides.
13:08No.
13:10No, not this time.
13:11This time I think we were born into them.
13:20Among the major problems facing us today is government interference in the lives of individuals
13:27and control of those lives through massive taxation.
13:33I would like to remind you of the words of Jesus.
13:37Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's,
13:40and unto God the things that are God's.
13:44And I'm sure if he were alive today, he would want to add,
13:47and let man keep what is rightfully his own.
13:51I thank you.
14:01We would like to thank both candidates, Mr. Barnes and Mr. Cole,
14:06for coming this evening and presenting their views.
14:09Before we have refreshments, we have time for a few questions.
14:13We have time for a few questions.
14:54I didn't know you were interested in politics.
14:57Well, I'm not, but certain politicians interest me a lot.
15:01I'm glad to hear that.
15:03When I found out you were going to be here this evening,
15:05I couldn't resist volunteering to chair the meeting.
15:09I'm flattered and surprised.
15:11Why surprised?
15:13I thought Martin Cole would be more appealing.
15:16Politically, that is.
15:18Martin Cole has limited appeal to me, politically or otherwise.
15:24I hate to interrupt, but your conversation is arousing more interest
15:28than gun control and the ERA put together.
15:38It certainly was an interesting debate, Mr. Barnes.
15:41I'm sure it'll be a close race.
15:43It won't be close at all,
15:45because I intend to beat the pants off my worthy opponent.
15:50Excuse me.
15:55Is it J.R. Ewing you're out to get?
15:58Or his wife?
16:00I hadn't really thought about that.
16:04Till now.
16:08We have got to do something, and we've got to do it fast.
16:11Barnes is getting stronger every day.
16:13We keep pumping money into your campaign fund, Martin,
16:15and we're getting nothing in return.
16:17We're doing everything we can, dear.
16:18I know that.
16:19I know you are, but it's just not enough.
16:21The polls show that Barnes is gaining one percentage point every day.
16:25We can't live with that.
16:26Well, it's no surprise.
16:27It's a recognition factor.
16:29Things will change in time.
16:31Take my word for it.
16:31It just takes time.
16:33We don't have time.
16:34Things will improve.
16:36My wife says down at the church that we're having...
16:38First thing you've got to do is hire a speechwriter with some guts.
16:41That guy you've got now puts everybody to sleep.
16:45Stop dressing in those tired old men's clothes.
16:48J.R.
16:49Yes.
16:50Take this man shopping tomorrow.
16:52Get him some new clothes.
16:54That won't be necessary, Mr. Ewing.
16:56We'll tell you what's necessary, Martin.
16:57I mean, we are paying for your election now.
16:59And buy more television time.
17:02I want to see your face every time I turn that damn thing on.
17:07You know, Barnes brought a fellow out from Madison Avenue to manage his media campaign.
17:12Yeah?
17:13Who's that, J.R.?
17:14Peter Larson.
17:15Ran Brian's campaign in New York.
17:18Is he any good?
17:19Yes, sir, he is.
17:20Can we get him?
17:22I doubt it.
17:25All right, let's get somebody else.
17:28Done.
17:29Martin, I really appreciate you dropping by.
17:31I tell you what, why don't I pick you up about 10 o'clock tomorrow morning?
17:34We're going to make you look like a state senator yet.
17:36Whatever you say, J.R.
17:38Good boy.
17:38Nice seeing you.
17:39Nice seeing you.
17:41Oh.
17:43Man.
17:46He's a washout.
17:47Yes, sir.
17:48You know he can't win, J.R.
17:49Yes, sir, I know that.
17:50We've got to see to it that Barnes loses.
17:53Dig something up on him.
17:55Dad, I've tried everything.
17:56I've got all the boys working on it.
17:58He's clean.
17:58There must be something wrong with the man.
18:00He's just clean.
18:01Nobody's gotten that far in politics and stayed clean.
18:04He's just been careful, that's all.
18:06And don't forget, he's a Barnes.
18:08There's bound to be a body in that closet someplace.
18:12Find it.
18:13All right, sir.
18:15If I can't find it, I'll put it there.
18:18Whatever.
18:22Whatever.
18:25Inherited $27 million.
18:27They had a franchise for all the mechanical things made in Mexico.
18:33You know, tractors and heavy-duty braiders, things like that.
18:38I didn't do that.
18:42Miss Ellie, I don't think the turkeys to Pamela's liking.
18:46She hasn't even touched a dinner.
18:48The turkey's fine, Miss Ellie.
18:50I'm just not very hungry.
18:52Maybe you're working too hard, Pam.
18:54If you don't get sick, we wouldn't want your brother to lose his chief fundraiser, would we?
18:58Well, that reminds me, J.R., that new ad agency that I hired for Martin.
19:01They're going to want their money in advance.
19:03They were burned on the last campaign by a few boys.
19:07I get it.
19:07They're worth every penny of it.
19:09Martin's beginning to come over as a real statesman, Dad.
19:11Good.
19:13Not an easy task, I might add.
19:16Did you get him a new speechwriter?
19:17He sounded better the last time I heard him.
19:20I had to.
19:21Got to fight fire with fire, Miss Ellie.
19:23Barnes brought that Larson fellow out of New York around his campaign.
19:27It's called, uh, media.
19:28What the hell is it, Bobby?
19:30Media specialist, Dad.
19:31Yeah, media specialist.
19:33Well, for a man who's always crying poverty, that seems a little extravagant to me.
19:37Peter and Cliff are roommates in college.
19:39Peter's volunteering his services.
19:41Now, isn't that unusual?
19:43Above and beyond the call of ordinary friendship?
19:46Meaning what?
19:47Well, I'm just interested in the nature of the friendship.
19:50That's all.
19:50Seems extremely close.
19:52Growing phenomena nowadays.
19:54Something I can't understand myself.
19:56You mean to tell me that that gorgeous Cliff Barnes is...
20:01I don't like the tone of this conversation.
20:03I know I don't.
20:05I just think it's strange.
20:06Man past 30, never been married.
20:09It just so happens Cliff was engaged to be married.
20:12To a girl in New York who worked for Peter's father.
20:14He's just never gotten over her.
20:16He was?
20:17Well, what happened?
20:18Why didn't he get married?
20:20Well, she...
20:22She died.
20:25How awful.
20:27How'd she die?
20:30Uh, it was an accident.
20:33I don't remember much about it.
20:36Well...
20:37I was a fine dinner, Miss Ellie.
20:39I think I'll work it off in front of the TV.
20:41Cowboys are playing tonight.
20:43Johnny?
20:44In a minute.
20:45I'll bring in your coffee.
20:47Why don't you make a bourbon, huh?
20:50I want to see you, J.R.
20:52Yes, sir.
20:54Oh, excuse me.
21:01I know, I know it's short notice, Dan, but we've got to move quick on this.
21:05Now, you call me back just as soon as you can.
21:08Okay.
21:11Who'd we get?
21:13Dan Marsh.
21:14Private investigator.
21:15He'll be in New York City tomorrow morning.
21:18Yeah.
21:18Cliff Barnes.
21:19That's body buried somewhere.
21:21He'll find it.
21:22When do we know?
21:22Well, a couple of days.
21:25Good, good.
21:44You know, you're gonna have to talk to me.
21:46We're still married to each other.
21:49Yeah, but we're on opposite sides of the fence.
21:59How'd she die?
22:01I don't remember.
22:03Remember?
22:05You're never very good at lying that tips of your ears turn red.
22:14I can't tell you, Bobby.
22:17I'm sorry.
22:18I mean, if you feel you can't trust me, well, it says something about the state of our marriage,
22:23doesn't it?
22:29Come on.
22:33Just give me a little time, okay?
22:50Okay, Dan, that is wonderful.
22:52Yeah, that's just the sort of thing we were looking for.
22:54Hang on just a second, would you?
22:56Luella, get a hold of my daddy at the ranch.
22:58Yes, sir.
22:59Say, did you get a statement from the doctor?
23:02I see.
23:03All right, well, we'll release the store anyway.
23:05I sure appreciate this, but I'll have a check in the mail to you this afternoon.
23:09Okay.
23:13Mr. Ewing on line one.
23:15Thank you, darling.
23:18Hello, Danny.
23:20We hit pay dirt.
23:22Yeah, Barnes just broke the cardinal rule of politics.
23:26Never get caught in bed with a live man or a dead woman.
23:34All right, when Pamela says this is Charlene, I want you to come on down the ramp quickly.
23:38That's lovely.
23:38I do a nice turn right over there, following down to the center.
23:42That's good.
23:43That's good.
23:43Yes, yes.
23:44Come over here.
23:44Make another turn.
23:45Take off that jack.
23:46That cake.
23:47Throw it over your left shoulder.
23:48Go to that end of the room.
23:49That's lovely.
23:50All right, darling Tiffany.
23:52Yes.
23:52Come on.
23:53Lovely.
23:54Quickly.
23:54Let me show Cliff.
23:55Make a nice...
23:55Okay, I'll let you know.
23:56I love them.
23:58Yes.
23:59Cliff, I'll show you that wonderful shirt.
24:01That's lovely.
24:02Yes, hello.
24:04Right where you are now, make a nice turn.
24:06That's really nice.
24:08Nice line.
24:09I am so pleased.
24:10They're all nice.
24:12This is Kristen Carlson.
24:14I'm standing in the main dining hall of the Texas Club, where a benefit is being held later
24:18this week for Clifford Barnes, candidate for state senate.
24:22Barnes, this reporter has just learned, has been implicated in the abortion death of a young
24:26woman who was his fiancée about ten years ago.
24:29Mr. Barnes, most women's groups favor abortion on demand.
24:32Given the circumstances of your fiancée's death, where do you stand on the issue?
24:35Mr. Barnes has no comment at this time.
24:37Well, do you think this will hurt your chances for victory in the upcoming election?
24:41Nothing right now.
24:41Mr. Barnes, your opponent, Martin Cole, has taken a strong stand against abortion.
24:45I'm sure our radio audience would welcome your views on this subject.
24:48It's okay, I'll have a statement for the press later this evening.
24:54I don't have anything to say right now.
24:56Folks, just come with me.
24:58I'll call you as soon as Mr. Barnes is ready to hold the press card.
25:01Oh, my God.
25:02Cliff.
25:03Cliff.
25:03Oh, no, look.
25:04Wait a minute.
25:04I just, no, I don't want to talk right now.
25:06I've got a salvage of silking shit like...
25:08Cliff, it's important.
25:09I've got to tell you something.
25:11No, I'm reading.
25:11No, I'm reading.
25:12I can't talk to you.
25:13Which way?
25:13Peter?
25:14Peter?
25:16Peter?
25:16Peter?
25:34Okay, folks, please.
25:40I am sure that you've all heard by now.
25:45But I just wanted you to hear my side of the story.
25:49Uh, first of all, it's true.
25:55Uh, Penny Ames and I lived together for several months before she became pregnant.
26:02Peter knew her.
26:03Uh, she was his father's secretary.
26:06And Penny's dream was to enter law school, saved every nickel toward her tuition.
26:14And she'd just passed her entrance exams and found out that she was pregnant.
26:20I wanted to marry her, but she said that we weren't ready for a job.
26:25So I borrowed money and went to a doctor who had been recommended to us.
26:31And you know the rest.
26:33Mr. Barnes, why didn't you get her to a hospital?
26:38Because abortions were illegal at the time.
26:41And you couldn't just go to a hospital and have it taken care of properly.
26:46I know, but why did you keep it a secret?
26:49I mean, you should have known that someone would find out.
26:56The secrecy was out of deference to Penny's family.
27:00They were very religious, and they wanted it kept quiet.
27:05How is this going to affect the campaign?
27:10Well, it's too early to tell.
27:12See, what Cole is saying is that I was involved in an illegal activity that contributed to Penny's death.
27:20Well, insofar as abortions were illegal at the time, he's right.
27:24Can't deny that.
27:26What do I tell everybody when they call?
27:28The phones haven't stopped ringing.
27:31Well, you can tell them that I'll have a statement for them this evening.
27:35Or, uh, no, wait a minute, wait a minute.
27:38You can tell them the truth.
27:40You can tell them exactly what I've told you.
27:44Because I loved Penny, and I wanted to do what she wanted to do.
27:50And it just didn't count.
27:58That's it.
28:20Oh, I don't know how they got a hold of that.
28:22That's what I don't understand.
28:27And Penny's family, I know they wouldn't say anything.
28:29And the only other people that knew were you and Pam.
28:32Now, wait a minute.
28:33Oh, no, no, no, no, not you.
28:36I know that.
28:39And Pam's all the question.
28:44The doctor must have gotten in touch with the Ewings, somehow.
28:47Why would he do that?
28:48He's just out on parole.
28:49He can't want that kind of publicity.
28:51No matter how much money is involved.
28:58Why don't you get out of here?
29:01I can handle the phones.
29:24I probably shouldn't have come.
29:27It was an impulse.
29:29I heard the news on the radio.
29:31I'm surprised you didn't hear it firsthand from J.R.
29:35I don't hear much first or secondhand from J.R.
29:39Yeah?
29:41Well, I guess he's pretty busy.
29:44Imagine he's trying to dig up whatever he can to destroy me.
29:53I've just been wondering how he found out.
30:04You know, don't you?
30:10I'd hate to be around when he found out.
30:15I'm really sorry.
30:20You know what?
30:22I really believe you are.
30:29So am I.
30:32Oh, boy.
30:33I've had a lot of things.
30:35I've had a lot of things.
30:40Well.
30:43Bye.
30:45Bye.
30:47Bye.
30:49Bye.
30:51Bye.
30:52Bye.
30:53Bye.
30:54Bye.
30:54Bye.
30:54Bye.
30:56Bye.
30:56Bye.
30:58Bye.
30:58Bye.
30:59Bye.
31:05Yeah, well, thank you. Thank you very much. That's wonderful.
31:08All right.
31:10Well, Dad, Martin is finally beginning to gain in the polls.
31:14Well, we've got Dan to thank for that.
31:16Yeah, not to mention my pretty sister-in-law.
31:19How? How could you have done it?
31:22And you, you let him!
31:24Politics is politics.
31:26And that's your excuse?
31:29For taking a fine, good man and destroying him?
31:33And you, you don't need any excuse.
31:37You do it for your own self-serving entertainment.
31:41Now, now, hold on, Pamela.
31:42We understand that you love your brother.
31:44But you do have a slightly prejudiced view of him.
31:47And despite what you consider his sterling qualifications,
31:52the man apparently doesn't hesitate to do what's illegal whenever it suits him.
31:57You have distorted this entire issue!
32:00Phil, I think you're despicable!
32:04We just told the truth, that's all.
32:07I'll tell you something.
32:09I don't know how to play by your rules.
32:12But someday I will.
32:14And you're going to pay for what you've done to my brother.
32:18No, you won't.
32:20You won't use any of those rules against me or any other Ewing.
32:24You'll do just as we do.
32:27You'll use them to protect your own interests.
32:31Thank God help me!
32:32I don't know how to play with you.
33:06I call Peter at the office.
33:08He said she'd probably be here.
33:09Yeah.
33:28You look tired.
33:29No, I'm doing pretty good, considering the beating I'm taking.
33:35When I think what this might mean to your career, Cliff, it just seems so unfair.
33:40Oh, come on.
33:40You have to look at the bright side.
33:43Just think my losing might be saving your marriage.
33:47Who told you that?
33:48What?
33:49That the Ewings don't like you working for me?
33:55Cliff, I have to tell you something.
33:59And it's so hard, I don't even know how to do it.
34:06Well, why don't you just tell me?
34:10I don't even understand how I did it.
34:13I was talking, and it just slipped out.
34:22It was you.
34:25Before I could do anything about it, J.R. was off and running, and Cliff, if there was any way...
34:31You know, I never even suspected you.
34:33For a moment, I thought maybe it might be Peter, but you...
34:37You never even crossed my mind.
34:39Oh, Cliff, I know it's unforgivable, but it was an accident.
34:43Come up with Pam!
34:44Things like that just don't slip out.
34:47What?
34:48You're not a child.
34:49You had to know what you were doing.
34:51You don't think I did it on purpose, then...
34:55I think you'd do anything for Bobby Ewing.
34:58That's what I think.
35:00How dare you!
35:02Just don't lie to me, Pam.
35:04What you're saying is unforgivable!
35:07I mean, do you think I would deliberately betray you?
35:10No, no, no, no, no.
35:12What you did is unforgivable.
35:17You can at least listen to me.
35:19You can give me a chance to...
35:20Why should I listen to you?
35:23You know, the Ewing's destroy everything they get their hands on, and you're one of them now.
35:28You live with vipers, you become a viper.
35:31So why don't you go back to where you belong?
35:35To them.
37:52He'll come around.
37:53He knows that you wouldn't say something like that on purpose.
37:56I don't know.
37:57He's really hurt.
38:04He'll be okay.
38:36The results are starting to come in from the 14th district, which as you know is the heart of Barnes'
38:40territory, with 15% of the votes counted.
38:44It looks like another Cole victory.
38:47You hear that, 15%?
38:49We're all talking!
38:51Hey, how about this?
38:55Let's buy a drink.
38:56Everybody in the house.
38:58This has certainly been a stunning come-from-behind upset for Martin Cole, the former city councilman from Fort Worth.
39:04Mr. Cole, as you know, married to the former Nancy Orloff, daughter of Senator Orloff.
39:09It's supposed to be a very special victory.
39:11May I join you?
39:14Not if you're going to go in.
39:23I'm not going to gloat.
39:27I'm just sorry that the best man lost.
39:32I'm not sure I heard that.
39:38I was just thinking how nice it would have been if J.R. didn't get what he wanted for once.
39:48They tell me that it's over.
39:49Oh, come on.
39:50Wait, wait, wait.
39:52I want to say that you're the best group of people I've ever worked with.
39:56I want you to go home, get acquainted with your families again, and I'll see you next time around.
40:01That's right.
40:07Excuse me.
40:08We've got ten key spots sewed up.
40:10A couple more, we'll be running the whole show.
40:12What do you think about that?
40:13Got any other idea?
40:15Well, not right now, Wade, but we're sure not going to forget the work you did in the 14th district,
40:19I'll tell you that.
40:19I'll be right back with you.
40:26What did you call it?
40:31It's a little what, though?
40:33What did he say?
40:35Same thing as before.
40:37What did you offer me to do him in?
40:39He can't be serious.
40:41Oh, he is.
40:44Come on, let's go see Cliff.
40:46Oh, Bobby, I don't think now's the time for a confrontation.
40:49Oh, now is the perfect time to straighten things out between the two of you.
40:52Now, come on.
40:54Miss Ellie, don't you think I could have one shot of bourbon at this great victory?
40:58I'm sick and tired of the soda water.
41:00No, John.
41:01Oh, no.
41:01Oh, would you give Mr. Ewing some soda water, please?
41:05Put a lot of eyes, sir.
41:06Here at the coal campaign headquarters, we're getting ready for the acceptance speech.
41:10And here comes Martin Kroll now.
41:13Listen to that crowd.
41:20Let's call it a day.
41:23Go ahead.
41:26I've got some things to sort out.
41:29Do it tomorrow.
41:33I'm leaving for New York first thing in the morning.
41:35Let me buy you a drink.
41:36I'll catch you next time.
41:38Come on.
41:40You're, uh, not the first guy who lost.
41:45True.
41:47You know, I don't like the feeling.
41:49I'll help you win next time.
41:52You're on.
41:54And I'll be in the bar across the street if you change your mind.
41:58Thanks, Peter.
42:16Is Cliff here?
42:17Cliff's in his office.
42:20Oh, Peter, this is my husband, Bobby Ewing.
42:22How do you do?
42:23Pam, I'm not sure this is a good time.
42:26Better wait a few days.
42:27No, we'll see him now.
42:30Good luck.
42:33Come on, Adam.
42:51I, uh, want to talk to you.
42:55Well, how are you at one-way conversations?
42:59Because I'm not in the mood to talk.
43:03Look, I think you two ought to straighten this whole mess out.
43:07Well, what mess?
43:08You got your election.
43:10I mean, you don't expect me to be happy and forgiving about the way you got it.
43:13Which means you're going to go on blaming Pam forever for something that was an accident.
43:18Oh, an accident.
43:21Don't make me laugh.
43:22You put her up to it.
43:24Bobby had nothing to do with it, Cliff.
43:27Come on, Cliff.
43:28Give her a chance to explain.
43:29Chance to lie.
43:31Stand up.
43:32Now, wait a minute.
43:32Stop it.
43:37Money and force.
43:39Seems to be what you Ewings understand the best.
43:44Cliff, I swear to you, I never told them about Penny's death.
43:48I did tell them you were engaged and that your fiancé died.
43:53But you've got to believe me.
43:54I didn't tell them anything else.
43:56J.R. found out the rest for himself.
44:00I'd never do anything to hurt you.
44:03You know, Clifford, sometimes I think your hatred of us Ewings is like a cancer inside of you that chews
44:08up your good sense.
44:10Don't you know I love you?
44:21I love you, too.
44:25I'm so sorry.
44:26I know I messed up everything.
44:33Well, it seems like we both got a little forgiving to you.
44:36And I'm willing.
44:38What do you say we go over to the bar and have a drink?
44:41Yeah.
44:43Not right now, thanks.
44:44I, uh...
44:48I've just got some thinking about you.
44:52I appreciate you coming down.
44:54I know that must have been tough.
44:58See you soon.
45:00Okay.
45:01Buy your lunch.
45:03Sure.
45:04Why not?
45:23Peter Larson, please.
45:25He's at the bar.
45:28Well, I'm glad it's all over.
45:31If I know my brother, it's just beginning.
45:36Peter, Cliff.
45:39I want you to get a hold of Livingston.
45:41Yep.
45:42The guy with the cashier's check.
45:45Ask him if he's got enough money to buy the next state senate seat.
45:50Maybe even the Congress.
45:54Peter, I've just become a realist.
45:57The guy with the head.
46:01Bye.
46:03Bye.
46:09Bye.
46:11Bye.
46:12Bye.
46:15Bye.
46:16Bye.
