[Kristin switches off]
Alan Beam : Who is that?
Kristin Shepard : One of the cartel members. Andy Bradley.
Alan Beam : Oh, J.R. must have had advance information those wells would be nationalized.
Kristin Shepard : I've been trying to figure that out all morning. Maybe Hank Johnson tipped him off.
Alan Beam : Who's Hank Johnson?
Kristin Shepard : J.R.'s man in the Far East. He was in charge of the oil wells.
Alan Beam : Who bought the leases?
Kristin Shepard : Who else? J.R.'s closest friends and associates.
Alan Beam : I'll bet those friends and associates would be very interested to know that J.R. had been warned in advance.
Kristin Shepard : They'd string him up.
Alan Beam : I'll bet that J.R. would pay plenty to keep them from knowing.
Kristin Shepard : We have no proof. J.R.'s too smart for that. He covered his tracks.
Alan Beam : Maybe not. Maybe not. See if you can get Hank Johnson on the phone.
Kristin Shepard : [picks up receiver] Overseas operator, please.
