Dallas s09e25 Episode Script

We both knew how great the reward would be if we had succeeded.
Punishment for failure should be equally as great.
The one thing I feared most was I was gonna die, and you'd never know how much I love you.
Bobby proposed to Pam the night before he died.
Bobby was gonna marry me! - What's this? - Your lucky day.
This is a proposal to sell Christopher's 30 percent of Ewing Oil.
Oh, my God, Bobby! No, no, no! Angelica Nero is a very elusive criminal.
She got away, didn't she? The Marinos jet is gone.
We will still continue to search the island, but it does not look too good.
- That's it? - No.
Interpol has been alerted.
And we have every confidence she will be apprehended.
In the meantime, we have you.
Well, we told you all we know.
Well, that remains to be seen.
So why don't we go over it one more time, shall we? You have stated that Dimitri Marinos had been dead for five weeks.
You went to a great deal of trouble to have a dead man host your party a party which has left quite a mess for me to clean up after.
She's already given you a statement.
What more do you want? I am asking the questions, Monsieur Ewing.
Need I remind you of the gravity of your own situation? Now, hold on.
Jack's done nothing wrong here.
He was impersonating a man who no longer exists.
And I think you'll find that kind of subterfuge is illegal in any country certainly in mine.
Well, we didn't know Marinos was dead.
Angelica led us to believe that Jack's appearance here was with his blessing.
So you said.
Mr.
Ewing is telling the truth.
They knew nothing about Angelica's plan.
Well, let's see if I can try and understand this plan.
It doesn't take a genius to figure that one out.
Really, Monsieur Ewing? How clever.
Look, Dimitri and Angelica had a falling out.
The man knew he was dying and he didn't want her to assume control of his company after he'd gone.
So to make sure of that, he changed his will.
Alex Garrett made me aware of that.
They got you for murder, Nicholas.
I shot the bowman in self-defense.
You're a lawyer.
You don't believe that's going to hold up.
Damn it! If you don't cooperate, I won't be able to help you.
Why would you wanna help me? We each have something that the other wants.
I want copies of the will you forged and you want a hell of an attorney to defend you.
We might be able to plea-bargain.
They want Angelica more than you.
All right.
But get these guys out of here.
Angelica was desperate, she needed time to turn things around make it seem as if Dimitri had had a change of heart.
Now, his worsening physical condition was ideal for her.
She was able to keep him in seclusion while she looked for a double.
So a new will was created, leaving her everything.
And with Jack Ewing on her arm as Dimitri it appeared to the world that Angelica was truly his chosen successor.
Exactly.
Then all she had left to do was bump off the impostor at an appropriate time have a reading of the new will, she would inherit Marinos Shipping and nobody would be the wiser.
As we all know, he has been dead for a few weeks.
But why did she still go through with the assassination? Nobody had seen him in years.
Angelica needed to show that he was healthy and of sound mind in order for this new will to hold up.
What better way than to show him off in public? And then kill him in public.
Quite a far-fetched scheme.
Don't you agree? Well, she almost pulled it off.
Yes, she did.
Are we finished now? Yes.
But no doubt I will have to contact you again.
Well, I'll do everything I can to cooperate.
You and your cousin are free to go.
What about Grace? Ah.
Her involvement is entirely a different matter.
Well, she saved our lives.
Surely we can work something out.
Well, perhaps if she were to testify for the prosecution Grace? I'll testify.
Very wise choice, mademoiselle.
But unlike the Ewings, you will have to remain on the island until this case is resolved.
What if I took responsibility for her return? I'll see to it that she gets back when you need her.
You've got my word.
No, no, Monsieur Ewing.
Mademoiselle, you are released on your own recognizance but you will not be allowed to leave Martinique.
Agreed? I understand.
You may go.
Uh, I'll be along in a minute.
Altering the codicil was simple but concealing the fact that Dimitri was already incapacitated was a bigger challenge.
But, uh We're going back to the villa.
I think it's time we had a little chat on the way.
He's singing like a bird.
I'll just need a few more minutes.
I'll join you outside.
Pam? It's almost 4 in the morning.
What's going on? I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to wake you up.
You didn't.
You wanna talk about it? Do I have any choice? Not really.
It's Jenna.
Huh? I thought we'd already agreed to leave Jenna's problems to the psychiatrist.
I think I added to Jenna's problems when I picked up John Ross.
Am I missing something? I told her, Mark.
- Told her what? - That Bobby and I were going to remarry.
Oh, boy.
I didn't mean to.
It's just when she said she was cheated out of marrying Bobby something in me snapped, and before I could stop, the truth just came out.
And she didn't take it well? Well, to put it mildly.
Well, maybe it's better that she finally learns the truth.
Well, that's just it.
She thinks I'm lying.
And that surprises you? Well, no, but it doesn't make me feel any better either.
Look, you are not the one who brought Jenna's problems on and you're not gonna be the one to make them go away.
I just wish I could do something to help.
Well, one thing at a time.
First, you're gonna get some sleep then we will take a look at it in the morning, okay? Okay.
Hey, Jack, how long is it gonna take you to pack? Not long.
Good.
The sooner we get off this island, the better.
There's a plane leaving at 9:00.
I want us to be on it.
It's nice to meet you.
Thanks for all your help.
What are lawyers for? Nice to meet you, Mr.
Garrett.
J.
R.
, there are certain matters I didn't want to discuss in the limo.
Yeah.
I had that feeling.
Well, let's talk about it upstairs while I throw my things together.
You took quite a chance tonight.
What do you mean? Assuring the authorities I'd show up in court.
After all the deception, all the lies how can you still trust me? You saved my life.
Barely.
I'm gonna tell J.
R.
That I'm gonna stay.
I don't wanna leave without you.
No, Jack.
It's better this way.
I meant it when I said I thought we should try and start over again.
It would never work out.
Too much has happened.
Forget about the past.
If only I could.
But it has a way of catching up with us.
And I don't want to hurt you again.
Jack.
Please, let's leave it at that.
Ever since I started this little game I lived with the risk of betrayal.
Nicholas was a possibility.
But somehow, I just never thought it would be you.
Don't bother.
Your revolver isn't there any longer.
We both knew how great the reward would be if we had succeeded.
The punishment for failure should be equally as great.
Don't you think so? J.
R.
, I think I should warn you, as Dimitri's executor I'm going to have to suspend all operations initiated by Angelica.
- Does that include the drilling venture? - Especially the drilling venture.
Well, shutting that down could cost me a pretty penny.
Not to mention how bad it would make Ewing Oil look.
If you could hold on for a few weeks, I think I should be able to work things out.
The deal is a good one for the Marinos estate.
It's the paper it's written on that's bad.
A few weeks, you say? Three or four, tops.
All right, I appreciate you telling me this.
I guess I'll just have to ride out the storm, won't I? Keep you posted.
I'm counting on it.
Move? Where? I'm not really sure yet.
But why? We should've moved from Southfork a long time ago.
But it's our home now.
It can never be that.
Not without Bobby.
But all of our friends are here, and I have school.
I never said leaving would be easy.
I don't wanna leave at all.
We've gotta go on with our lives.
Southfork is not a part of them anymore.
Is that what Dr.
Ford said? That is what I say.
We are leaving Dallas, and that is final.
You mean we're running away.
My mind is made up.
- Hey, Jack, let's get a move on, huh? I'm ready.
The chauffeur's here.
- I just wanna say goodbye to Grace.
- Put that in the car.
Grace? Come on, Jack, just open the door.
Grace? Jack.
Grace? I really couldn't leave without saying goodbye.
Oh, my God.
My island was quite a peaceful place until you and your cousin came along.
We didn't have anything to do with this.
That appears to be true, but appearances can be deceiving.
Do I look like a killer? No.
You look like a very rich man who made a very poor choice in business partners.
Well, I might be guilty of that.
Monsieur Ewing, there is still much that needs to be answered.
You'll get all the answers you need when you find Angelica Nero.
Are you sure that she pulled the trigger? Or ordered somebody to do it.
Is there a difference? No, I guess not.
I assume I can contact you in Dallas? I told you I'd help you every way I can.
Have a safe trip.
Hey, Jack, um I know how fond you were of Grace.
I'm really sorry.
Come on, let's get out of here.
Monsieur Ewing.
There are many islands in this part of the world.
The next time you plan a trip to the Caribbean choose one of the others.
I don't know any more than you do.
Mark and I were about to go out and the phone started ringing off the hook with reporters.
Oh, I'm sure if anything had happened to them, we would have heard about it.
Of course I tried to reach Miss Ellie.
Her line's busy too.
Cliff, as soon as I get through to her, I'll let you know.
Now, why don't you go stay with Jamie and tell her not to worry so much? All right.
I love you too.
Bye-bye.
We should get John Ross back to Southfork.
He thinks he's gonna spend the day with Christopher.
- What should we tell him? - Just leave that to me.
- Well, I'll get my purse.
- I think I better take him home alone.
You may run into Jenna again and Okay.
I guess you're right.
Besides, you should stay on that phone.
The sooner you get an answer for Jamie, the better off she'll feel.
Okay.
- Thanks.
- Okay, bye.
Oh, J.
R.
Thank God you're safe.
And Jack? We didn't know what to think when it came over the news.
The calls haven't stopped all morning.
- When are they coming home? - When are you coming home? Good.
Yes, I'll have Jeffrey at the airport to pick you up.
No, no, no, I understand You just get on that plane.
We'll talk when you get home.
All right.
Bye-bye.
- When will they be back? - Late today.
- What the hell went on down there? - He didn't have time to go into it.
Excuse me.
Am I interrupting? No, no, of course not.
We finally heard from J.
R.
He's fine.
- And Jack's fine.
- Oh.
I'm glad.
Uh This probably isn't a good time.
Miss Ellie, I'll get it in the other room.
What is it, Jenna? Charlie and I will be leaving Southfork soon.
What? You've made us feel very welcome here, Miss Ellie.
You are welcome.
Always.
Thank you.
But it's time that Charlie and I moved on.
Are you sure about this, Jenna? Very.
I have to be honest with you I think there's things you still need to work out before you go.
I was hoping you'd respect my decision.
We do.
We just don't see any reason for you to rush into things.
I've already made my plans.
I intend to keep them.
You know, I really can't get over how far along the house has come.
Long ways to go before we hang the wallpaper.
Ha-ha.
Yeah, really.
But you know what? It's finally starting to look like a home.
Yeah.
I don't know about you but I worked up quite an appetite walking through all those rooms.
It's big.
You don't think it's too big? Well, there's no turning back now.
Just have to figure out a way to fill up those rooms.
Well, don't worry about that.
You're looking at a lady who knows how to shop.
Ha-ha.
I was thinking more in terms of adding to the family.
I didn't mean you and I trying to have another child, Donna.
Maybe we could adopt.
How long have you been thinking about that? Well, I've been kicking it around for a couple of weeks.
It takes a long time to adopt.
Maybe, maybe not.
How would you feel about trying? I don't know.
Well, there's an awful lot of kids out there who need us just as much as we need them.
I just need to think about it.
Great.
Go on inside and tell your mom you're back.
- I'll be in in a minute to say hi, okay? - Okay.
Hi, Jenna.
Hello, Mark.
Pam feels pretty low.
She didn't mean to upset you.
Upset me? Why would a vicious lie upset me? It isn't a lie.
How would you know? You weren't there.
I know.
Pam was making it all up.
Can't you see? Jenna, she wouldn't do that.
Stay out of this, Mark.
It doesn't involve you.
Well, in a way it does.
We're two sides of the same coin.
Pam's feelings for Bobby stood between her and me just as Bobby's feelings for her always held a part of him back from you.
Bobby loved me.
Look, it doesn't change the way things ended.
I refuse to talk to you about this anymore.
You'd better talk to someone.
Jenna, Bobby proposed to Pam the night before he died.
Bobby was gonna marry me! I know it's not easy to accept.
It wasn't for me either.
But in the end, my love for Pam helped put that behind me.
It's all in the past, Jenna no matter what you choose to believe.
Maybe your love for Bobby can help you put the past to rest too.
Are you through? Can't you see I am very busy right now? I know that you like flowers.
But today, I want you to draw what you saw at the planetarium.
You're right.
There were flowers there.
Can't argue with that.
Sunflowers.
Very clever.
Yeah, you silly.
Ha-ha-ha! What am I gonna do with you? Here.
Colors.
Oh, Vincent.
That's good.
- Is that a comet? - Yeah.
- Yeah? - This part is called the tail.
You are right.
Ooh.
Ooh, pretty, pretty.
Is that from one of those space movies? No.
That's Ray.
And that's me.
And we're going to the planetarium.
Oh, I get it.
See, I was wondering what a cowboy and stars were doing in the same picture.
Ray said that the cowboys in olden days went to sleep outside under the stars.
That's right.
He said that maybe we could do that sometime just me and Ray.
Just the two of you? Tell Vernon not to do anything about the acquisition of that station group in Florida until I talk to him.
- Yes, sir.
And also tell Gardner to update his figures on Criptell before our meeting on Friday.
- Yes, sir.
- Is Pam in? - Uh, yes, I think so.
- Uh-huh.
You said the cartel called.
Yes, Marilee Stone has called five or six times and Mr.
Bradley and Mr.
Lee have each called three times.
- I think they're anxious to talk to you.
- Yes, yes, you'd think so, wouldn't you? See if you can arrange a meeting with them for tomorrow morning in my office.
Okay.
All of them together? That's right.
I'll be in with Pam.
Okay.
Good morning.
- J.
R.
Hey, Pam.
I've just been reading your suggestions to Lindsey in Research.
Wait.
There's nothing wrong with our looking into Communication satellites? I agree.
- You do? - Oh, yeah.
In fact, we're already exploring that matter with the FCC.
- We are? - Yeah.
I got the same idea as you did four or five months ago, I guess.
Oh.
I do believe you and I are getting to think alike.
Oh, good grief.
- Have you seen Jack around this morning? - No, I haven't.
J.
R.
, I'm glad that you're both home safely.
Welcome back.
Oh, thank you, Pam.
Glad to be back.
Although you were against it I'm glad I sold our interest in that Marinos deal when I did.
Otherwise, we could have lost a lot of our money down in Martinique.
Well, I have to admit it now, you were right.
Yeah.
Well You can have this lousy oil business.
I don't want it.
Come on, Jack.
It isn't that bad.
What do you mean, it's not that bad? I practically got killed.
You can't blame that on the business.
You can only blame that on the people you do business with.
Like J.
R? - Yeah, J.
R.
What can I say? He asked me for a favor.
I'm a Ewing.
So is she.
But you don't see her working with a creep like him.
You can bet I won't be doing business with him any longer either.
In fact, I think Dallas I've had it with Dallas.
I mean, this just It's not my town.
You can't be serious, Jack.
Not now.
I mean, I'm just getting used to the idea of having you around.
Don't let J.
R.
Do this to you, to us.
Yeah, she's right.
It's not only J.
R.
It's me too.
When I first came here, I got off on the wrong foot and I've been out of step ever since and I'm just tired of it.
Jack, it's okay to feel sorry for yourself.
But it's not okay to give up.
She is an expert on not giving up.
Lookit, why don't you just forget about J.
R.
And Ewing Oil and start spending some more time with us? Please don't leave.
Please.
Where will you go? There's a designer that I've been doing quite a bit of work with at the boutique.
She's made an attractive offer for me to join her firm.
There's offices in New York.
- New York? - Mm-hm.
And Paris.
I've been invited to visit both places and see what it's like and meet the people I'll be working with.
And Charlie? Well, she'll travel with me.
She could stay here.
Well, I think it would be a wonderful experience for her.
Well, I thought it might be easier.
No.
Thank you.
Miss Ellie, thank you for everything.
You've been more than generous with us, more than patient with me.
I wish I could get you to change your mind.
I know.
And I love you for that.
- Good night.
- Good night, Jenna.
Oh, Bobby.
Bobby.
No, Bobby was going to marry me.
No.
No, that's not true.
He asked me to marry him the night of Lucy's wedding.
What happened at Lucy's wedding? Can you remember? Nothing.
Nothing happened.
You take good care of her, all right? - Oh, you know I will.
- You're next, Bobby.
But wait till we get back from our honeymoon.
- I'm gonna be at your wedding.
- My wedding.
All right.
- Goodbye.
- Bye.
Jenna, Bobby told me you knew.
You have to face the truth.
He said something wasn't right between the two of you.
What was that? Can you tell me what happened? It isn't a lie, Jenna.
He proposed to Pam.
What made you sick? What made you go upstairs? There was a time I was absolutely sure our getting married was the right thing to do.
But I'm not so sure anymore.
Maybe we're just letting people tell us it's time we were married.
Maybe we're just too much in a rush.
Jenna, what are you getting at? That maybe we need a little time to think it over to make sure we still love one another.
I really would understand if things weren't the same anymore.
- Jenna.
- Bobby.
Would you? Would you just leave me alone for a little while? Bobby never wanted to hurt you.
He was coming here to tell you about us when he was killed.
The important thing is to accept it.
Oh, Jenna, you did know.
You did know.
Ohh Oh, Bobby.
Bobby, no.
Bobby.
Oh, my God, Bobby! No, no, no! How's Jenna? She's much better.
She just got off the phone with Dr.
Ford and she's gonna see him in the morning.
Oh.
Not a moment too soon from the looks of her.
The doctor said that Jenna's gotten through the worst of it.
And now he's gonna try to help her heal her wounds.
Well, I'd like to see us heal a few of our own.
That might be rather difficult.
Yes.
There's no reason not to try.
I've started going out with someone.
Oh.
Who might that be? Jerry Kenderson.
Well, I was right about you two all along, wasn't I? No.
It only started just recently.
While the cat's away, huh? I don't have to defend my actions to you.
We both agreed to lead separate lives, except where John Ross is concerned.
Yes, that's true.
It's not as if you've been spending your evenings alone.
Well, I feel like a proper fool.
You know, a funny thing happened to me down in Martinique.
While you were in the arms of Jerry Kenderson, no doubt.
What happened? When Angelica pointed that gun at me, I was sure I was gonna die.
And the last thing that passed through my mind was a picture of you, Sue Ellen.
At that moment there was only one thing I was afraid of.
Not Angelica, not the bullet in her gun.
The one thing I feared most was that I was gonna die and you would never know how much I love you.
I find that hard to believe.
Well, believe it or not, it's the truth.
Hello.
Hello, Pam.
Why don't we sit down? Jenna, I never meant to hurt you.
I know.
I didn't come here for an apology, Pam.
I came to apologize to you.
You don't owe me an apology.
I do.
And I owe you an explanation.
You see, up until now, I thought I loved Bobby more than anyone else and I thought he loved me more than anyone else.
So naturally my loss was greater than anyone else's.
I know how much you loved him.
On top of that, I blamed myself for not marrying him and letting him die unfulfilled.
Bear with me, Pam.
This is This is not easy for me.
I was lying to myself.
He didn't wanna marry me, he wanted to marry you.
You did know.
But I couldn't face it.
Until last night.
The memory of Lucy's wedding flooded back.
I remembered Bobby's reaction when people asked about our wedding.
He was tortured.
I knew something was wrong.
I was worried that he was falling out of love with me and back in love with you.
If he was ever going to marry me, I didn't want him doubting his choice so I set him free.
I told him I thought we were rushing into things and that I suggested we slow down make sure we knew what we were doing.
He was surprised, confused and I believe relieved.
That was the last time I ever spoke to him.
My doctor tells me that when Bobby died, I buried that conversation with him.
The truth was too painful for me to live with so I pretended we were still lovers when he died.
I guess that was the only way I could survive.
But you did survive.
Barely.
Oh, Jenna, I don't know what to say to you.
It doesn't matter anymore who Bobby was going to marry.
What matters is how happy you were when you were with him and how happy I was when I was with him and how lucky we both were.
I know how much you miss him.
And I had to hear about it on the 6:00 news.
Not only that I lose every penny of that investment without a damn thing to show for it except the egg on my face.
My secretary, who's been talking to their secretaries, tells me you sold two-thirds of it to them.
Would you all just simmer down, please? You must have suspected something, J.
R.
Why else would you have sold your entire interest in the deal to us? You're greedy, not stupid.
What did you know, J.
R? Nothing, absolutely nothing, except Marinos Shipping has had a marvelous reputation in the oil community and they wanted to do business.
You did business with us, and Martinique went to hell in a hand basket.
And we got stuck holding the check.
I never intended you all to lose money on this.
I thought we'd all turn a tidy little profit.
That wouldn't cost you a dime.
Now, don't hold that against me.
You'd have done the same thing.
Well, sure, if I knew everything you knew.
- I wish there was something I could do.
There is something.
What? Just tell me.
Buy this junk back from us.
Buy it back? We'd give you a real good price.
We've been in business together for a good many years, J.
R.
There's a lot more ahead of us.
Yes, that's true.
We've established a relationship, a trust over the years.
I just can't let that go by the wayside because of one bad deal.
So are you going in the hole with us? Well, I owe you at least that much.
All right.
The best I can do is buy back each share at 50 cents on the dollar.
Now, honestly, that's the best I can do.
Deal.
If that's the case, I'll have the papers drawn up and have them over to your office tomorrow morning.
I really appreciate this.
We all do.
Andy, Jordan.
Marilee, feel better now? Much.
But you know something, J.
R? Sometimes I just don't get you.
And you never will, Marilee.
You never will.
J.
R.
Said when Angelica Nero pointed that gun at him he regretted most of all that he was going to die and I would never know how much he loved me.
What did you say? There was nothing much I could say.
You believed him? I believe he meant it, but he's meant it before.
Has it affected you this way before? No.
In the past, I would have fallen into his arms.
Then what's bothering you? I don't know.
It just upset me, that's all.
I wish he wouldn't have said anything.
Well, at the risk of upsetting you even more I'm not gonna wait till someone points a gun at me.
What? To tell you that I love you.
I guess you're not gonna fall into my arms either, are you? - Jerry - Don't say anything.
I just wanted you to know.
Well, there's a petri dish upstairs waiting for me.
Don't let this get you down.
A man would be crazy not to fall in love with you.
You're just gonna have to learn to live with it.
I hope I'm not bugging you, Alex but I really need to be sure our deal with Marinos is going through.
I told you it would take a few weeks, J.
R.
Well, I can live with that, as long as I know I'm not throwing good money after bad in the meantime.
I know you're still incurring some operating costs but I promise you it will be well worth your while many, many millions of dollars' worth.
You just gotta be patient.
Profits like those can buy a lot of patience.
I owe you one, Alex.
I'll be in touch.
Well, what's this? Your lucky day.
This is a proposal to sell Christopher's 30 percent of Ewing Oil.
That's right.
- To me? - Right again.
I don't understand.
It's very simple.
No, I don't mean this.
I don't understand you.
I want out.
For a fortune? - Lf it's too rich for you - No, no.
No, I didn't say that.
It will just take me a little time to pull together the right financing.
You got it.
Pam? Why, after all this time, after all you've fought for? The fight's just not important anymore.
Good night, J.
R.
Well, Daddy it's taken a long time and a lot of hard work but finally, it's all mine.
