Dallas s09e21 Episode Script

Did they find Pam? Apparently, she's been kidnapped.
I couldn't bear the thought of sharing you with anyone else.
- I had to punish you.
- So you tried to ruin me.
Going to Bobby's grave in the middle of the night is Crazy? Well, why don't you go ahead and say it? That's what you think.
I want your men to start looking for Cantrell now.
If Senor Cantrell is behind this kidnapping, the game is already lost.
He and the money will be long gone by now.
Matt? "Do not look for us, we will s Send you more instructions.
" - What about you, what are you gonna do? - Cliff, just calm Calm down.
I'm gonna wait for those instructions.
And what if they kill my sister in the meantime? What if they don't? Are you willing to risk her life? - Are you willing to just sit here? - We have no other choice.
They're gonna make us wait to make us nervous.
Then they're gonna ask us for a whole lot of money.
What, are you some kind of expert now? He's right.
We should be prepared to pay ransom.
Well, I didn't bring a lot of cash down here.
I'm gonna have to contact the bank in Dallas.
Well, I suggest you do that right away.
We'll need to act quickly when they make their demands.
I have a banker friend in Bogotâ who can be persuaded to cut through the red tape.
You mean he can be bought.
He can be rented.
Well, whatever you can do to help, do it.
Then I'll start making some calls.
Perhaps you should do the same.
Look, I'll call Dallas.
I'll let them know what's going on.
Whatever is going on.
You know something, Graison? I've about had it with you.
If you can't do anything more than point fingers go back to Dallas, because you sure as hell aren't any help to Pam.
Hey.
Look.
As far as we know, Pam is okay.
We have to do anything necessary to keep it that way.
There isn't any time for anything else.
God help you if she's hurt.
Bobby's dream.
Now it's Pam's nightmare.
We all love you.
All we want is what's best for you.
Just what's gonna make you happy.
So you call Harlan Danvers and have him sedate me? I am not a child.
I can make my own decisions.
Of course you can.
But, well, maybe those decisions are being affected by things that are out of your control.
You scared us last night.
You weren't in control.
Honey, don't you see? Things have gone too far.
When you lost your baby, did I tell you how to grieve? I stood by you as a friend.
Gave you what you asked for, what you wanted.
All I'm asking for is that same consideration.
- Now, is that so terrible? - No.
But it's not the same.
No, it's not the same.
You lost someone that you loved but didn't know.
I lost someone that I shared a part of my life with that I was gonna share the rest of my life with.
Why can't all of you understand that? Listen to me.
Going to Bobby's grave in the middle of the night is Crazy? Well, why don't you go ahead and say it? That's what you think.
There is such a thing as too much grief, too much pain.
More than you are able to carry by yourself.
That's why I talk to Bobby.
He always listens to me.
I know he's gone, but I can still talk to him.
If you don't understand that, if you don't allow me that then you are not my friend.
I am your friend.
Don't you ever forget that.
All I want is to help you.
Then let me find my way, in my own time.
I see.
Yes, I see.
All right, Sue Ellen.
Yes, I'll, uh, I'll tell everyone here.
What is it? What has she heard? What's going on? That was Sue Ellen.
Mark just called her from Colombia.
Hey.
Did they find Pam? No.
Apparently, uh Apparently, she's been kidnapped.
- What? - Good Lord.
Are they sure? They're waiting for ransom instructions now.
Is there anything we can do from here? We can pray that this means that she's still alive.
Maybe you can add Jenna to those prayers too.
You've talked to her about getting help? She wants to be left alone to mourn Bobby.
She says she doesn't need help, just time.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Well, you know as well as I do there's a lot more to it than that.
Maybe, uh Maybe I could say something to her.
No, Ellie, it's time a professional spoke to her.
Clayton, she is not gonna talk to a doctor.
Then we'll bring the doctor to her.
Maybe here at home, she'll feel more comfortable with the idea.
Maybe Harlan could recommend somebody.
God knows we've got to do something.
Those are my sentiments.
Dr.
Danvers, please.
Clayton Farlow calling.
Jack, I really appreciate you taking this load off me.
No problem.
Pam usually double-checks these reports, but they just couldn't wait any longer.
You know, I wish there were more I could do for her.
- Maybe we should fly down there.
- Oh, I think we'd just be getting in the way.
It's more important for us to stay here and keep everything on an even keel.
Especially with this Martinique conference coming up so close, you know.
Do you think we should even go while Pam is missing? Well, I think we're gonna have to.
It seems to be very important to our Marinos partners.
I don't know what could be that important about that conference.
Uh, does Grace ever mention anything about it? Well, we don't talk too much about business.
What do you talk about? - Things.
- Martinique? When Grace talks about Martinique, she talks about suntans and sailboats and Ha, ha.
This is not Club Med we're going to.
It's an international business conference.
All right, I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll, uh I'll set up a meeting with them.
Straighten out details, draw up an itinerary.
How does that sound? - That sounds good to me.
- I find out, I'll let you know, all right? - All right, I'll see you later.
- Mm-hm.
Sly, come in here a minute, would you? Don't tell me.
You want me to set up a meeting with Angelica Nero.
Yes, yes, I do.
But first, I want you to dig up every piece of information you can on Dimitri Marinos.
Call the wire services, the news bureaus.
I want to see every frame of newsreel footage there is available.
And read every article ever written about him.
And then, dig up the Pete Adams report on Marinos Shipping.
I must've overlooked something somewhere.
- What are you looking for? - I don't know.
I really don't know.
But Angelica Nero doesn't get this upset over suntans and sailboats.
Now, that woman is up to something.
And I'm gonna find out what it is.
Here it is.
This is it.
Just what the doctor ordered.
This is the best cruncher you can buy.
That thing will eat, analyze, and spit out data at the speed of light.
Well, maybe not that fast.
She'll be okay.
- She's gotta be so afraid.
- So are you.
I can't help it.
She's being held hostage in the middle of nowhere.
Alone, afraid.
Who knows what those people are capable of? And if they have any intention of letting her go once they've gotten what they want.
Sue Ellen, I know what it's like to be afraid for a friend when there's nothing you can do to help.
You just have to keep hoping for the best.
You're right.
That's all I can do.
Isn't it funny how we take people and time for granted? If this were any other day I probably wouldn't even have given her a second thought.
We all do that, Sue Ellen.
Yeah.
But that doesn't make it right.
There were times when Pam and I hated each other.
Our husbands and Ewing Oil didn't mix.
But there was always one thing that we could share.
We understood what it was like to be an outsider.
To be a Ewing without being born to it.
She's the kindest, most gentle person that I know.
And the worst things in the world keep happening to her.
They'll get her back.
She'll be just fine.
Mark won't let anything happen to her.
No way.
I'm not gonna let you out of my sight.
You're pretty brave with somebody else's life.
They want Senor Cantrell to go alone.
It will be foolish to do it any other way.
I'll tell you what's foolish.
Dropping $ 100,000 in the jungle when we don't know we're gonna get Pam back.
You want guarantees? Hold it, hold it! Just everybody shut up.
They're right, Mark.
We have to do exactly what the note says.
We can't afford not to.
- We can follow him at a distance.
- Don't be ridiculous.
When was the last time you stalked through the jungle? They'd smell you out there.
I don't understand why they asked for $ 100,000 when they could have more.
You're forgetting how poor these people are.
That's more money than they will ever see in a lifetime.
You sure that bank can have that much money ready tomorrow morning? That's been taken care of, senor.
You know where this place is? - I know where it is.
You can make it there alone? I can make it alone.
It's agreed.
It's up to you.
If you wanna talk, darling, you're gonna have to get the ball rolling.
Because I haven't got the slightest idea what's on your mind.
I don't know how to start, or how to say this.
Ha, ha.
You know how much I care for you.
Just talk.
I've done something terrible.
Oh.
Now, what could that be? Try to understand.
I was hurt.
I wanted to hurt back.
I waited outside Angelica Nero's hotel all night that night.
Didn't leave until the morning.
I didn't want it to be true.
I didn't think it could be.
I thought you loved me.
I did not sleep with that woman.
J.
R.
, I was there.
I had too much to drink and too far to drive.
I slept on the couch.
That's it.
- You didn't sleep with her? - No, I did not sleep with her.
But that's not the point, is it? No.
There's no excuse for what I did.
Cliff Barnes was the one who told me where to find you that night.
And you listened to that moron? He told me there was a way to get even.
A spy who came in from the cold.
Oh, J.
R.
, I'm sorry.
I was crazy.
Jealous and crazy.
I knew I had to share you with Sue Ellen but I couldn't bear the thought of sharing you with anyone else.
I had to punish you.
So you tried to ruin me.
I laid myself wide open for you, I trusted you.
And you stabbed me in the back by telling Cliff Barnes every word I said.
I can't take any of it back.
But I can stop before I hurt you any more.
I found an apartment.
I'll be out by the end of the week.
I promise you'll never have to see or hear from me again.
- You don't have to leave.
- I can't stay here now.
This place is yours, always will be.
I could never set foot through that door and not think of you.
Maybe we can't fix what's gone wrong between us.
I'm not sure I even want to.
But I do know you love me.
Ah, good.
Let me tell you what we're gonna do.
We're gonna smear the colors together.
- Smear the colors? - Yeah.
- What's wrong? - I ran out of fingers.
It looks to me like you ran out of paper.
- That means I'm done? - No, no.
It means you're gonna get another piece of paper.
Let me see.
That's pretty.
That's beautiful, very artistic.
- Beautiful.
- Thank you.
That's the first time you've talked to me.
I like that.
Most people can't understand me.
I understand you very well.
And I'm proud of you for trying.
Very important for you to talk.
- Really? - Yes.
Makes me happy.
You don't look happy.
Do I seem sad? Well, maybe it's because I have a friend who needs help.
I don't know how to help her.
You could talk to her.
I don't need to talk to anyone.
Dr.
Danvers is under the impression that you do.
- So is your family.
- Well, they're wrong.
- They shouldn't have asked you to come.
- But they did.
They don't understand.
Well, maybe I will.
- I don't need a psychiatrist.
- I didn't say you did.
If you want to talk, we talk.
If you don't, we won't.
We all need to let off a little steam once in a while.
It's just a matter of degree and appropriateness.
When you lose someone that you love very, very deeply isn't it appropriate to hurt and to feel sad? Of course, I'd be worried if you didn't.
But that still leaves the question of degree.
How much and how long? Well The family seems to think that it's too much for too long.
Hmph.
That's why you're here.
Are they right? No.
It could never be too much.
I did something that So very very terrible.
Something that I can't take back, I can't change.
I can't make right.
What did you do, Jenna? It's what I didn't do.
I should've married Bobby, but I didn't.
You see, if I had married him, he'd be alive today.
L I killed him.
Even if you'd married Bobby, the same thing could've happened.
- There's no way of knowing.
- I know.
You're punishing yourself for something you had no control over.
But if I had married Bobby, if You can't live your life on a stack of ifs.
If I had done this, if I had done that.
You have to accept what is.
Thank you for coming.
I'm sure the family will feel a lot better knowing that I talked to you.
I'd like you to consider some form of therapy.
Whatever would be most comfortable for you.
No, I don't think so.
I know exactly how I feel and why.
It's nice meeting you.
Well, we didn't get much business accomplished but, uh, I needed to laugh.
- Thank you.
- Anytime.
Oh, and I'll have the steak tartare, medium-rare, please.
Ha-ha-ha.
Stop it.
I can't take it anymore.
No more French menus for me.
How was I supposed to know steak tartare is a pile of raw meat? Where I come from, a steak is a steak, and you cook it.
Ha-ha-ha.
Thank you.
For what? Oh, thanks for the laughs and, uh, just being a good listener.
- Well, that's what friends are for, right? - Right.
- I'll walk you to the door.
- Oh, that's all right.
It's a safe neighborhood.
- Good night.
- Good night.
I should've known better.
- Ah, Cliff, let's not get into this.
- I should've warned her.
I never should've let her get involved.
You can't blame yourself.
She had her mind made up.
Not to change her mind, you don't understand.
All I was thinking about was money.
I just thought she was gonna get rich, so I decided I'd get a little richer.
And I talked her into letting me in on the deal instead of talking her out of it.
That's all I was thinking about was money.
I never once worried about her.
There's no way for you to know it was gonna turn out like this.
Any idiot could've seen something like this could happen.
I was just blind.
And this bum Cantrell.
God, he pops up from out of nowhere.
The man never earned an honest dollar in his life and he's selling pieces of an emerald mine in the middle of South America? For God's sake! I watch her falling for it, and then I see how I can get in on the profits.
So I trip all over myself begging her to let me in on it and Now she's out there.
If anybody should've stopped her, I should have.
But I let my reasons get in the way too.
- He should have been back by now.
- We don't know that.
We don't know how far he had to go, how long it would take him.
He should have been back by now.
Come in.
I, uh I just looked in on John Ross.
He's sound asleep.
I know.
Is that all you wanted to tell me? No, no.
Actually, I've been thinking.
The three of us haven't done anything together for a long time.
I thought it'd be nice if we went to dinner and took in a movie.
Later in the week, if you've got nothing planned.
Come on, Sue Ellen.
You don't have to take that long to give me an answer.
I'm sorry.
It's just that I never thought when we moved back to Southfork that we'd be spending any time together with John Ross.
Might be good for him.
It might be good for us too.
Us? Have I missed something or have the ground rules changed without my knowing it? No, nothing's changed.
You live your life, and I'll live mine.
But when it comes to our son, I think we ought to put our differences aside and enjoy the one good thing that came out of our marriage.
Dinner and a movie would just be fine.
Good.
Now I think I'll turn in.
Oh, by the way, uh how are things going at the research center? Busy.
I'm working on the next fundraiser.
I promised Jerry that it would be even more successful than the auction.
You and Jerry Kenderson seem to be getting along real well.
I hope nothing happens to get in the way of that.
And what's that supposed to mean? Well, surely you've seen that he has eyes for you.
And I thought maybe the feeling was mutual.
Don't be ridiculous.
We work well together.
And that's all there is between us: Work.
Well, that may be true for you, Sue Ellen but I've been around long enough to know when a man is after a woman.
And I'd be willing to bet my bottom dollar that that man is after you, honey.
Good night, J.
R.
I don't know yet.
I will.
Yeah, I love you too.
I got through to Jamie.
At least she's all right, that's a blessing.
Well, this is taking too long, way too long.
I don't like waiting any more than you do, but we don't have a choice.
Well, let's just see about that.
You grow impatient, Mr.
Graison.
I left my patience behind hours ago.
Now I want your men to start looking for Cantrell now.
And where do you suggest they look? Well, how about the drop site for starters? And if he is not there, where do they look next? Well, I don't know that.
You're the law around here, you tell me! If Senor Cantrell is behind this kidnapping, the game is already lost.
He and the money will be long gone by now.
And our efforts will be wasted on Cantrell when it is actually Mrs.
Ewing we seek to find.
So you see, I choose to believe that Senor Cantrell is not somehow involved in this.
You should do the same.
Well, if he's not behind it, what the hell is the hang-up? I got lost.
You made the money drop? - I found the clearing just fine.
It was after dark on my way back that I took a wrong turn.
I found this note where I left the money.
What does that say? "Mrs.
Ewing will be returned to the same spot tomorrow at noon.
" Well, the kidnappers seem to have taken a liking to you.
They make it clear that you alone are to wait for her there.
I'm not gonna spend another day wondering if this guy can be trusted.
I'm going out there myself.
Whether you trust me, it'd be senseless to jeopardize her life with a reckless move like that.
For once, I find myself in agreement with Senor Cantrell.
The kidnappers have the money.
They have nothing to gain by harming Mrs.
Ewing now.
Unless we give them cause.
We have no way of telling what condition she's gonna be in when she gets back.
As long as they don't see us, everything's gonna be fine.
We'll just hold back a bit when we get near the clearing.
But at least we'll be close enough to help her if she needs it.
Very well, but I can't take responsibility should you be discovered.
We won't be.
Does everything meet with your approval? It looks like you planned our trip to the oil conference down to the last detail.
I tried.
Jack, you've had a chance to look at this itinerary.
You got any questions? Well, I know what we're gonna be doing while we're down in Martinique but it's still a little unclear to me as to why we're going there at all.
Well, you see, it is important that the international oil community learn how successful Marinos Shipping has been in our alliance with Ewing Oil.
I think this conference is a perfect place to generate that kind of publicity.
Well, it sounds like a whole lot of meetings and not a whole lot of fun.
I'm sure there will be time to enjoy the scenery there as well.
Anyway, we'll make time.
You know, Grace and I have talked about going down maybe a couple of days early.
It's sounding more and more like a good idea to me.
- You wouldn't mind, would you, J.
R? - Well, Jack, you know me.
I never believed in all work and no play but in this case I really don't think it's a good idea.
Ewing Oil and Marinos Shipping are trying to present a united front here.
How would it look if we all arrived at a different time? People might get the wrong idea.
Don't you think so, ladies? Oh, yes, of course.
Cheer up, Jack.
When the conference is over, we'll steal a couple of days and have ourselves a really good time.
All right, this is where you guys get off.
Any closer, it'd be a bigger mistake than you coming along in the first place.
Maybe there's something else going on you don't want us to see.
You know, I've about had it with your suspicions, Graison.
Gentlemen, gentlemen.
This is no time for a rematch.
Well, now what? Now we do what we've gained so much practice at already.
We wait.
And we watch our friend very carefully while he waits in the clearing.
You better get going.
Hopefully, our wait will not be long.
Once Pam's safe, if there's any way, I want these bandits captured.
One thing at a time.
First, we get your lady back.
Then we worry about the criminals.
So what did the psychiatrist find out? He said he couldn't base a diagnosis on one conversation.
Well, he must have had some kind of recommendation after talking to Jenna.
It was his impression that she may need some form of psychiatric attention.
May need? That's great, that's right back where we started again.
No, no, no, it's not.
Now we're really aware of the problem and it's up to us to decide how to deal with it.
Miss Ellie, after trying to reason with Jenna the other day I do not believe that we can handle this problem by ourselves.
We can either convince Jenna to find help on her own or we may have to consider a court order and have her committed.
Jenna has a family that loves her very much.
And I'm certain that with enough care and enough patience we can steer her in the right direction.
God help us.
He's coming back.
Doesn't look good, does it, Senor Cantrell? Don't say that.
Don't even think that.
I'm sorry, Cliff.
Something must have gone wrong.
You make it sound as though you expected this.
You're the one who risked everything by insisting on being here.
For all I know, you were spotted and blew the whole deal.
I never should've let you rope Pam into this trip.
If you were so worried about it, Graison, why the hell didn't you come with us? She asked you to.
Pam wanted you to.
- What was it that held you back? Matt! Hold it, hold it, damn it.
You hear that? Matt? Matt? Pam! - Pam! - Oh, ho-ho! Oh, it's okay! You're gonna be okay! Oh, baby.
Thank God you're safe.
I'm never gonna let go of you again.
J.
R? These just came in from a news service in Great Britain.
It's everything they have on file about Marinos.
All right.
Put it wherever you can find a place, honey.
I'd be glad to help out if you could be more specific about what you're looking for.
Well, I would if I could, but I won't know what it is until I find it.
Uh, it's in here somewhere.
Ewing Oil.
Oh, one moment, please.
It's a call from Los Gatos, Colombia.
A Police Chief Rueda.
Oh, yeah.
All right, thank you.
Uh, J.
R.
Ewing here.
Good news, Mr.
Ewing.
Your business partner has been returned safely to her brother and her boyfriend.
Is she all right? I mean, uh, she wasn't harmed or anything? Well, she has been through quite an ordeal.
But all in all, I would say her health is quite good.
Oh, well, I'm glad to hear that.
And I'm very grateful to you for your help and, of course, your discretion.
And just to show you how much I appreciate what you've done there's gonna be a little bonus on its way to you very soon.
- How little? - Twenty thousand dollars.
American dollars? - Are there any other kind? - Always happy to be of service, Mr.
Ewing.
- Adiós.
- Adiós.
Always happy to be of service.
It does my heart good to help our friends to the north.
They have a way of getting into such trouble when they visit our humble country.
Ah.
Jerry.
Jerry, I just got a call from J.
R.
I thought you'd like to know they found Pam and she's okay.
- Great, I'm sure Mark is very relieved.
- Oh, aren't we all? It's nice to see you smile again.
Well, uh, thanks for telling me.
Jerry? What just happened? I'm sorry.
I almost got a little carried away.
- Then he was right.
- What? Last night, J.
R.
Mentioned that he thought there was something going on between you and me.
- I told him it wasn't true.
- Well, it isn't true.
But I'd be lying if I didn't tell you that I wish it were.
Sue Ellen, I admire you.
L I admire what you've done for Graison Research and what you've done with your life.
The more I work with you and the more I learn about you the more I see that smile the more I am attracted to you.
Guess we have a problem, huh? I don't know.
I guess it depends on where we go from here.
Where do you wanna go? Jerry, I love my job.
I love working with you.
Very much.
We've become friends and I value that friendship.
But that's all you want it to be, a friendship.
It's not that I'm not attracted to you.
I am.
And there was a time in my life when that was reason enough to take things further.
- It's not anymore.
- I understand.
But I'm not so sure I'm gonna give up on you that easily.
And I'm not so sure that I'd like it if you did.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Mom.
You were so quiet, I didn't hear you coming.
Miss Ellie could use your help.
She's planning a special dinner to celebrate the good news about Pam.
I'll be in in a minute, honey.
Charlie, what is it? Oh, Mom, I'm so scared.
Why are you scared, honey? Because I'm afraid that I'm gonna lose you.
Everyone's so worried.
They don't know what to do.
Neither do I.
Charlie, there's nothing wrong with me.
Honest.
- But you seem so far away.
- It's something I have to go through.
But you don't have to go through it all by yourself.
The family wants me to keep seeing a psychiatrist, don't they? What do you think? I just want you to feel better.
Do you think seeing a doctor could help? I don't know.
All right.
If it makes everyone happier.
I promise I'll I'll think about seeing him again, hmm? Thank you, Mom.
Mark? What time is it? Almost 11.
Why haven't you come back to bed? I just needed to think, that's all.
I hope you're thinking about how to get us out of here.
I can't wait to get back home.
Back to Christopher.
Back to things that are normal.
We're not going back.
Not Not right away.
What do you mean, we're not going back? Look, things got pretty hot between Matt and me when you were being held.
He asked me why I didn't come down on this trip with you in the first place.
You had the fundraiser to deal with.
Sue Ellen had that well in hand.
I really didn't have to be there.
No, I didn't take this trip because I I felt that this would be the big test.
That once and for all I was gonna find out if this was the last that your past with Bobby would separate us.
Oh, Mark.
You don't know how hard it was to let you go.
You're with Bobby's best friend.
You're living out Bobby's biggest dream.
I mean, that almost just ripped me apart.
But the biggest mistake I made was thinking you had to do it alone.
- I never wanted to.
- I know that.
I know that.
I just don't wanna compound that mistake by letting you go home before you finish what you came here to do.
So we're gonna go to Bobby's mine together.
We'll see what promise it holds together.
And then maybe Well, somewhere along the way we can discover what kind of future we have.
Together.
I want that more than anything.
So do I.

Is there any truth in the rumor that Dimitri Marinos is planning to reorganize the management structure? Gentlemen, I have a helicopter to catch, if you'll excuse me.

Who said it was an emergency? You were called away from a critical test case in the States to be here.
Gentlemen, please.
You're looking for news where there is none.
Then I ask you, why all the secrecy? Well, as Mr.
Marinos' personal counsel I am not prepared to make a statement at this time.
But when I come back, perhaps I may be able to have a chat with all of you.
Excuse me, please.
- Sly, you still out there? - I was just about to leave.
I want you to put in a call to Alex Garrett.
He's an international lawyer I've had some dealings with in the past.
Main office is in New York.
Leave a message.
Tell him to get in touch with me just as soon as he can.
Yes, sir.
Statement at this time.
But when I come back perhaps I may be able to have a chat with all of you.
Excuse me, please.
Ha, ha.
Alex, my friend we are going to have one hell of a chat about Dimitri Marinos.
Of that, you can be damn sure.
