Dallas s13e23 Episode Script
DABE15 - When Joseph Met Lori, and Made Out with Her in the Janitor's Closet
NARRATOR: Last on Dallas: April and I have decided to get married and we've set the date.
- This was my chance to make it big.
- I'm sorry.
And I want you to keep your mouth shut until I do talk to my brother.
CALLY: James is the one who's been giving me strength.
- James? - He's very special to me.
That can be tricky, you and James, I mean.
No way.
I'll kill him.
- You cost me my first-born son.
- It was a miracle that I survived.
All I had to live on was fresh water, a few coconuts and the occasional fish.
Sounds like a healthy diet to me.
Certainly a lot healthier than being named in your will.
Excuse me, Clayton, but I gotta finish this here toast.
[WOMAN SCREAMS.]
JOHN ROSS: Dad, make her stay.
- Do you want me to stay? - With all my heart.
JOHN ROSS: See, Cally, this is your home.
Dad loves you.
- You feeling better, son? - Yeah.
You promise Cally's not leaving? Well, she told you herself she wouldn't leave.
It's just a little misunderstanding.
It happens between married couples all the time.
I guess I didn't realize how much you cared for her.
I do.
I really like Cally.
You know I'd never do anything in the world to hurt you.
I know.
Well, you get some sleep.
- See you in the morning.
- Good night.
- Is John Ross all right? - Yeah.
Since you told him you're not leaving.
Cally, I wanna thank you for changing your mind.
And I'm truly sorry for what I said.
I hope you mean that.
But I can't help but wonder, what if John Ross hadn't come after me? Well, if he hadn't, I would have.
Now, you know I want this marriage to work.
That's what I've been trying to do.
And I'm gonna keep trying, as much for John Ross as for you.
- I love that little boy.
- I know that.
It means the world to me.
But I've been thinking if you ever do something like that again, I am gonna leave.
And I'm not gonna sneak out like I did tonight.
I'm gonna let everybody know I'm leaving and I'm gonna let them know why.
So if this marriage doesn't work, it's not gonna be my fault.
Well, I think everyone will understand that.
Just remember, you've been fair warned.
And one more thing.
Who's that woman who called here tonight? Oh, Lord, is she calling here now? Did she tell you that we were supposed to have a meeting at some hotel? Yes.
How on Earth did she get my private number? Darling, it's just some crazy woman who's been bugging everybody to have a meeting with me.
Now, I got the telephone company and the police working on it.
First thing tomorrow morning, I'm gonna have my private number changed.
- She won't be calling here anymore.
- She better not.
Debbie, let me have the check, please.
Thank you.
Hasn't been a bad night for you, has it, Mac? Meaning what? Atticus is dead, you don't have to worry about the takeover at Westar.
I wasn't worried about it before.
Didn't sound like that by the tone of your argument.
If you got a crazy idea that I killed Atticus, why don't you tell the police? Because we didn't have the proof.
But it certainly worked to your advantage.
I can't deny that.
And I certainly owe a debt of gratitude to whoever did it.
- Thank you, honey, thank you very much.
- Yes, sir.
But aren't you two overlooking something rather important? Are we? It wasn't Atticus' own drink that killed him, it was yours.
He took it right out of your hand.
Oh, my God, that's true.
In all the confusion, I have forgot that.
Whoever our mysterious killer is, it was you he was after, it wasn't Atticus.
But why? I don't stand to inherit anything.
You figure out the why, it might point to the who.
In the meantime, Clayton, I think you're in very real danger.
Whoa.
Hi, can I get a cup of coffee over here? BOBBY: Well, well.
- Good to see you guys, it's been too long.
Yes, it has.
We've been trying to get together with you.
And you've been too busy for us to tell you the news.
- We're getting married.
- All right, that's great, it's about time.
- You finally came to your senses.
- Yeah, I guess I did.
Okay, tell me when the big day is.
Actually, that's why I wanted to talk to you.
Why me? For a variety of reasons, Cliff l'd like you to be my best man at the wedding.
I take it that means you're not getting married at Southfork.
No, I think we are.
Don't you think some noses will be out of joint if I show up there as your best man? Actually, I don't care.
We haven't had too many successful marriages at Southfork.
- Maybe you'll be a good luck charm.
- All right, I'd be honored.
- Then it's a done deal.
- It's gonna be a day to be remembered.
[CHUCKLING.]
- So, what do you think? - About what? The area.
It's pretty nice, huh? There's about a thousand condos and office buildings all within a mile here.
- Are you looking for a place to live? - No, a place to work, to own.
To get your idea going.
James, what are you talking about? Hey, like I said before, I have faith in your idea.
I think it can work.
So here it is.
I own it.
This? This club? It took most of what I have, but I got good financing for the rest.
It has a liquor license, a pretty good-sized dance floor.
Steady clientele.
Now, I figure we can redo some, expand it.
I already started on an advertising campaign.
You bought this for us? Like I told you before, I'm not gonna quit on you.
I don't believe it.
Now, it's not near as large as the one you and April had planned but it's got great potential.
Some hard work, good management and with a little luck, we're on our way.
What do you say? I say you are the best present a girl ever got.
Oh, it's gonna be great.
Can I see it? Yeah, but remember, it's not too big.
Oh, it will be when we get finished.
Well, thank you, sheriff.
Hopefully, it won't be for too long.
Bye.
Well, they can't give us men full-time but they will have a couple of deputies in front of the house during the day.
This whole thing is ridiculous.
Why would anyone wanna kill me? Why Curly and Rabbit? And Arlen? Yes, but there doesn't seem to be any logic to it.
Once Atticus came back, he destroyed the will.
Which means the original will is in effect.
That's right.
I wonder who will inherit from that one.
I'm not gonna stand around here until it's read.
Let's go get that lawyer, Spangler.
He's out of town, and his office is closed for weeks.
- There must be some way to get in touch.
- We can try.
We'd better.
How the hell else we gonna know what it says? There may be a way.
I would definitely go down to Austin for the governor's lunch.
All right.
I spoke to him two-, three times this weekend.
He is more and more impressed by what you've accomplished.
So am I.
Quite frankly, no one thought you'd get the legislation through that quickly.
- Including you.
- Including me.
In point of fact, you're making my job much easier than I thought it would be.
Believe me, the governor's job lies just ahead.
And you're still behind my getting it What an odd thing to say, of course I'm still behind you.
There are a lot of people who would rather see me governor than the head of the ORC, especially some independent oilmen.
In your own little roundabout way, are you trying to make a point? Yes, my point is J.
R.
Ewing.
But why? What's he got to do with anything? He has to do with the amount of time you spend with him over lunch and dinner.
I told you before, my personal life is no concern of yours.
It is when it concerns him.
Because he's gonna use you to try to derail me.
- Lf he can.
- Ha.
He can't.
I can handle Mr.
J.
R.
Ewing.
That's your first mistake, to think that you can handle him.
I have no doubt but what you're the best at what you do.
But I assure you, you have never come across a J.
R.
Ewing.
You almost sound as if you admire him.
I admire him as I do a poisonous snake.
They can kill so quickly.
That's why I stay away from poisonous snakes.
And that's why you should stay away from him.
Don't make the mistake of trying to tell me how to run my personal life.
Well, at the moment, you're running both of our lives.
And until that's over, forget about J.
R.
Let's not you forget who needs who the most here.
You can't have it both ways, so you better make up your mind to that.
Are you really willing to throw away your chance of becoming governor over something this stupid? Or could it be that you're jealous? You think J.
R.
And I are going to bed? I could care less.
I just know that this man has spent most of his life trying to stop me and I'm not gonna pay you to help him.
That is something that I would never do.
The best way not to help him is not to see him.
I run my life the way I choose.
So don't give me ultimatums.
I just did.
From now on out, it's up to you.
[CLATTERING.]
Should I ask how you got in? - Does it matter? - Not really.
If you're here to apologize for torpedoing my deal with April, forget it.
Well, people who know me better know I never apologize.
Then what do you want? Well, I brought you a little present.
Open it up.
What is this for? Traveling money.
- I'm not going anywhere.
- Uh-huh.
Now, the way I got it figured, you can leave town one of two ways.
One, with a smile on your face and lots of money.
Or you can be ridden out on a rail carried by a couple of good old boys I know.
Why? What have I done to you, J.
R? You interfered with my plans for James.
What are you talking about? Do you really think I'm gonna let him marry a money-hungry little vampire like you? - Marry? - Now, don't be coy with me.
He told me he was gonna marry you.
If you think I'm gonna let that happen, you're dumber than I ever imagined.
He said we were gonna get married? Hell, I'm sure he wanted to keep it from me until it was all over.
Do you think you can buy me off? James has got plenty of money.
And when you're gone, he'll inherit even more.
I guess we're gonna have to play this the hard way.
I don't think so.
How are you gonna stop me from telling James what you did? How much do you think he'd love his daddy once he found out you roughed me up? I'm willing to gamble on that.
Sorry, J.
R.
Your little bluff isn't gonna work.
I'm in the catbird seat, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Now, would you please get the hell out of here? If you make me mad, I might not invite you to the wedding.
Don't try on any wedding dresses just yet, honey.
I made it! - Good morning.
- Good morning.
- How are you? - All right, I guess.
I haven't really had the chance to tell you how happy I am for you and April.
Thank you.
She told me how nice you were to her.
I know how excited she is about the wedding.
And I'm gonna be back in plenty of time.
- You're going somewhere? - For a little while.
I'm gonna take my paint and canvasses.
Just be by myself, paint and think.
I know things haven't been going too well between you and J.
R and I didn't want to interfere, but I'm with you all the way.
I know that, Bobby.
I just wanna get my life back in perspective.
Well, I hope it works.
You know, when April and I get married I think you two will be real good for each other.
Everything's gonna work out, don't worry.
I hope so, Bobby.
I truly do.
Oh, damn.
I forgot something.
- You go on down.
- Well, I'll wait.
- I'll be right there.
- All right.
- Oh, J.
R.
, good.
- Mama? I wanted to talk to you alone.
Well, whatever it is, I can explain.
No, no, this isn't about you, J.
R.
This is about Clayton.
- You two aren't having trouble, are you? - Would you just listen to me, please? I believe that Clayton is in great danger.
Are you talking about that will? Where his friends got knocked off? That's right.
And whoever it is made an attempt on Clayton's life.
You're not serious.
Well, why aren't there armed guards around him? Oh, because he's a stubborn mule.
He thinks the deputies at the gate are enough.
But I think he needs a bodyguard.
And you're the only one I know who I thought might be able to suggest someone.
Well, I do know a policeman.
He might be able to take some time off.
- Today? - I'll call him right away.
Oh, J.
R.
, one more little thing.
Would this policeman? Would he know anything about safecracking? You're not thinking of doing anything illegal, are you? J.
R.
, I need your help, not a lesson in morality.
Oh.
Well, I'm not sure if I'm flattered by that, but I'll see what I can do.
Thanks, J.
R.
[INTERCOM BUZZES.]
- Yes, Virginia? VIRGINIA: Mr.
Ewing is here.
Why doesn't that surprise me? Ask him to come in.
Your timing is impeccable.
The flowers just arrived.
- You like them? - They're my very favorite.
Well, what a lucky guess.
And is there a reason for them? We haven't seen each other in some time and if fences needed mending, I'd like to do it.
Oh, I think our fences are in their usual condition.
- Guarded? - Exactly.
- So why are you here? - I come bearing gifts.
- A 10-gallon hat? - Not quite.
Jellybeans? Not just jellybeans, Texas jellybeans.
Fourteen different flavors.
Now, you struck me as a closet jellybean eater.
- I am, but take them out of my - Just try one.
There's no such thing as just one.
If I open this jar, I'll eat them all.
- How did you know? - Know what? - My secret weakness.
- Oh, just a hunch.
I like playing hunches.
As a matter of fact, I have a hunch you and I are gonna have dinner tonight.
- Do you indeed? - Mm-hm.
All right, since you're on such a roll take me to my favorite restaurant and you have a date.
Laurent? Eight p.
M? I'll have a reservation.
How did you know? Are you having me followed? - That wasn't just a hunch.
- No, it wasn't.
- How do you know? - Anything I wanna know, I find out.
Don't be late.
[DOOR KNOCKS.]
MICHELLE: James? JAMES: You got it.
Hey, give me a little warning before you do that.
I swallowed my gum.
- You're a fine one to talk about warnings.
- What do you mean? It's nice that you're so close to your father but don't you think you should ask me first? JAMES: Michelle, what are you talking about? Your daddy paid me a little visit last night.
You told him we were getting married.
Yeah, how did he feel about it? I think ready to kill is a good description.
Right on.
That's just what I wanted.
I don't understand.
Didn't you mean it about us? He was meddling in my life, just like he always does.
So I decided to shake him up.
I told him we were getting married.
You didn't mean it when you said you were gonna marry me? Right.
I mean, what's the hurry to get married? We're doing fine.
- Oh, we are, are we? - Yeah.
And to tell you the truth, I'm not so hot on marriage.
Look at my father and Cally.
Look at my mother.
All marriage does is make you lie and cheat.
No way.
- It doesn't have to be that way.
- Yeah, right.
I wanna go over these plans with you.
I got a meeting with the architect tomorrow.
You are something.
I'm fine to sleep with but not to marry.
It's got nothing to do with you.
And I am just the right one for you to throw up to your father.
Just the one you know he would hate you being married to.
Hey, come on, calm down, will you? What's wrong with things the way they are? You're what's wrong.
What makes you think I'd wanna marry you anyway? - I never said you would.
- You're damn right I wouldn't.
I never wanna see you or your stupid club or your dumb plans ever again.
Come on.
This is all for us.
There's not an us, not the way you want them.
Will you please get out of my apartment and out of my life? - Michelle.
- Get out! Fine.
That's the way you want it, you got it.
Just don't expect to ever hear from me again.
I don't expect anything from you.
- How much did Andre charge you? - For what? To tell you what food I like, the wine.
I mean, everything we had was my favorite.
Is that right? Say, Andre? Everything is to your satisfaction, Mr.
Ewing? Oh, yeah, it's fine.
Miss Rogers has a question for you.
Did Mr.
Ewing consult you about our dinner.
No.
Is there something wrong? Something is wrong.
- But not with the food, thank you.
- But of course.
This is not just a hunch.
How do you know so much about me? Why do you have to question everything in life? Why can't you just relax and enjoy? Because I dislike your ability to be able to do this.
Well, tomorrow night, you pick the restaurant.
I don't think there'll be a tomorrow night.
There probably shouldn't have been a tonight.
- Does this upset you that much? - Not just me.
Your dear friend, Cliff Barnes, he insisted that I not see you again.
He didn't.
Didn't he, though? He said it had to be you or him.
Well, it's unlike Cliff to do such a favor for me.
You see that as a favor? Well, you strike me as a woman who doesn't like to be told what to do.
- Unlike you.
- Oh, exactly like me.
Now, undoubtedly, you agreed to have dinner with me because you wanted to prove that you take orders from no man.
You don't think it's because I simply wanted to have dinner with you? Oh, I think you enjoy our little power struggles and clash of wills, as it were.
But I also think that you decided to do just the opposite of what Mr.
Barnes told you to do.
Now, how about a little coffee? Yes, I'm sure you know the blend.
Jamaican Blue Mountain.
Dinner tomorrow night? Same time, same place? Fine with me.
I'll order.
Wouldn't have it any other way.
[CHUCKLING.]
CLAYTON: There it is.
ELLIE: Can you open it? - Jeez, lady, it's a piece of cake.
Well, I don't feel too good about it with a cop standing there.
He's off-duty.
- Yeah, but a cop's a cop.
- Stop talking and just open it.
ELLIE [WHISPERS.]
: Mr.
Ratagan told us that Mr.
Ratagan told us you were very good at this.
Yeah, he'll know.
He's busted me twice.
Ah.
I told you.
Nothing to it.
CLAYTON: There it is.
The last will and testament of Atticus Ward.
Hold this, Ellie.
Well, I don't understand this at all.
- What is it, Clayton? CLAYTON: Listen.
"The entire balance of my estate valued at some $200 million I leave and bequeath to Steven, known as Dusty Farlow.
" ELLIE: Did you reach Dusty? - No.
He's on a hunting trip somewhere in the Dakotas with friends.
We can only hope that we make contact when he's home.
Clayton, I don't understand any of this.
Why in the world would Atticus Ward leave his entire fortune to Dusty? Got me.
I don't know.
Atticus came over to Southern Cross once in a while when Dusty was growing up but I can't think of any connection other than that.
But as strange as that is why would he then change the will and then not mention Dusty at all? I just don't know.
But I know one person who might.
- Who? - Jessica.
- Your sister? - Mm.
But she's been in the sanitarium for five years now.
What could she possibly know? She's Dusty's mother.
She might know something about him and Atticus that we don't.
And the first thing tomorrow morning, we're going over to have a talk with her.
Oh, yes, if she's rational enough to know what she's saying.
Well, for the time being, I don't know what else to do.
And I'm not gonna just sit around here and let someone take a crack at me.
[DOOR KNOCKS.]
- Who is it? MICHELLE: It's Shelley.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Come on in.
Thanks.
- Can I get you some coffee or something? - No, thank you.
- Getting ready for the wedding, huh? - Yeah, it's exciting.
And a little scary.
I could still use a maid of honor.
Never a bride, always a bridesmaid, that's me.
Shelley.
No big deal.
James and I broke up.
I guess he's one Ewing that doesn't have marriage on his mind.
I'm sorry.
- I know how much you care about him.
- That's okay.
- I still have you, haven't I? - Always, you know that.
Then why don't we go for it? Why don't we go ahead the way we were going to? You know my ideas for the singles complex will work.
Maybe it will, but not right now.
I've got my wedding coming up, and then the honeymoon.
I'd like to get used to being Mrs.
Bobby Ewing before I go plunging back into business.
What am I supposed to do while all this is going on? April, I can't sit around and wait for God knows how long.
Do your own thing.
I told you I'd finance you in a smaller venture.
No.
I'm going for it, it's all or nothing.
I'm tired of being low man on the totem pole.
I'm sorry, honest.
But right now, my answer has to be no.
You can't blame a girl for trying.
- See you around.
- At my wedding? Sure.
I won't let you down.
BOBBY [O VER PHONE.]
: Phyllis, would you come in here for a minute, please? Cliff Barnes, please.
I'm calling for Bobby Ewing.
Cliff.
Hi, it's Jackie.
Bobby wants to know if you can have dinner with him tomorrow night at the Riviera.
Say, Jackie, Bobby just told me that he wanted you to make that the Laurent for 8:30 with Cliff.
Okay, make that Laurent at 8:30.
Nice talking to you too.
Bye-bye.
- Sly still at lunch? - Yes, she is.
Say, would you run down and get me a turkey sandwich, honey? Sure.
- Hold the mayo.
- Okay.
Phyllis, tell Bobby Cliff wants to meet at Laurent at 8:30.
J.
Now we'll find out who's the best man.
KOHLER: Mrs.
Farlow, Mr.
Farlow? I'm Dr.
Kohler.
How can I help you? You're gonna untangle this mystery for me.
I don't understand.
It's simple, I wanna see my sister.
Why do I have to see you first? Obviously, there has been some mistake.
Well, then let's rectify it.
Take me to see Jessica.
But she's not here.
I thought you knew that.
You transferred her somewhere? Why wasn't I notified? She was released almost six months ago, Mr.
Farlow.
Hasn't she contacted you? Released, where? Where did she go? Southfork Ranch, Braddock, Texas.
Oh, my God.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
- I trust I'm on time? - To the minute, come in.
As I explained on the phone, it might be more discreet to meet here rather than at my office.
The only thing you didn't say is why.
First I must tell you how sorry I am that your plans for the warehouse met such difficulty.
I'm sure.
- Do you want a drink or something? - No, thank you.
As you remember, I was most impressed by your vision.
I know your sister possesses the money but I sensed you were the driving force behind the plan.
A lot of good it did me.
Look, I really don't feel like a lot of small talk so if you have something to say The most difficult thing I've had to learn here is your very direct approach to the heart of the matter.
So you've learned it, so let's hear it.
My company has taken over a resort and gambling complex in the Caribbean.
I need someone who has drive and vision who happens to also be American to take over the project.
- Me? - Exactly.
Why? Just because you like my ideas? You must have checked on me.
I have a brain, but no background.
We have more than enough people with the background and the technical knowledge.
We need someone with great ambition.
Someone who has their finger on the pulse of the times to make this the enormous profit-maker it should be.
You have a very favorable appearance.
And you also get very quickly to, as you say, the bottom line.
If this is true, what's in it for me? A very large salary, a bonus for signing the contract with us and a share of the profits.
If you're as smart as I think, you should be a very wealthy woman before long.
Sounds good, but I'd like to see something on paper.
I took the liberty of having our attorneys draw this up, it's all spelled out.
- This is quite a bonus.
- But speed is very important to us.
If you agree, our company jet will fly you there tomorrow.
You can take over immediately.
Is there any reason you cannot leave tomorrow afternoon? None.
Then sign and it's all yours.
Ah.
'45 Mouton, very impressive.
I thought you might approve.
Mm.
No, that's excellent.
Although I understand that the baron preferred the '49.
To me, it's a toss-up.
You're quite a contradiction.
I would never have guessed you knew your Bordeaux.
Well, I learned early on, the more you know, the luckier you get.
I've been wrong about you.
Is there the slightest chance that you are as good as you think? Well, perhaps we both are.
It's been some time since I've enjoyed a woman's company as much as yours.
Well, you told me you liked the challenge.
And you told me you like the chase, but not necessarily the capture.
[CHUCKLES.]
There are exceptions to every rule.
Well, shall we try to prove it? You damn jezebel, I warned you.
- Barnes, is there no place safe from you? - You shut up, J.
R.
- We're through, you're history.
- Is that a fact? Yeah, that's a fact.
The one person that can screw up my life and you're with him.
Please, please I told you, I see who I want when I want.
Not on my payroll, you don't.
Don't you try and tell me what to do, you strutting little peacock.
I'll tell you what to do, Miss Miracle Worker - What's going on? Cliff.
- Please.
It's your precious brother.
He's trying to torpedo me again.
I'm trying to have a quiet little business dinner.
Andre, would you throw him out of here? Me, out? No, she's out.
You better look at that contract again.
You can't just tear it up.
Please, please, you're disturbing everyone.
Cliff, calm down.
Yeah, I'm fine.
I am really fine.
J.
R.
, she's all yours.
I don't know why you'd really want her now that she's not working for me.
Barnes, what kind of behavior is this from a future governor of Texas? Governor? Without me, he couldn't get elected dogcatcher.
We'll see about that.
Come on, Bobby.
Let's go someplace where we can talk.
Why do I have the feeling this is all some grand plan of yours, J.
R? Andre, I must apologize.
Bring us more wine, would you? Destroy that glass.
Yes, of course.
Your brother's right.
You orchestrated this whole thing.
Sooner or later, you'll thank me for this.
He was a millstone around your neck, honey.
I thought you wanted him elected governor.
Well, I changed my mind.
Sooner or later, he's gonna self-destruct and they'll kick him out of the ORC.
And he'll drag you down with him, honey.
You're saying I should be grateful? Well, I'm saying that you owe me a small debt of gratitude, yeah.
And how far do you think that debt will take you? Well, half the fun is in the finding.
Not to bed, I assure you.
I have no interest in being another notch on your gun.
Nor I on yours.
Now, I'm very happy doing to Mr.
Barnes what I have no desire to do to you.
Oh, very good, Mr.
Ewing.
Very quick.
And almost very believable.
[CHUCKLES.]
MICHELLE: Hi.
Hi yourself.
Didn't think I'd ever see you in here.
I thought I'd come take one more look around.
You know, we could still do this together.
I wish, but I really don't think that's gonna happen.
- Not unless one of us changes.
- You mean me.
I guess I do.
But as much as I want it, I don't think it's gonna happen.
Michelle, we could still be a great team.
Why is getting married so important to you? I don't know, but it is.
And you don't know it now, but someday, you will.
What you're passing on could have been so good.
I would have been by your side no matter what.
You're the one pulling away, not me.
I guess that's what happens when you're the one who cares the most.
The funny thing is I never thought it would happen to me.
It won't again.
- Why are you making this sound so final? - Is that what I was doing? I guess even I can't handle that much rejection.
It's not rejection.
We could still be together.
That's just not enough anymore.
Good luck with your club.
Look, somehow my sister has to be tied up in all of this.
I hate to keep bringing up that old word proof, but I have to.
Only a few years ago, she kidnapped Ellie.
She thought Ellie was taking over her place with Dusty.
There's gotta be a connection between Atticus and Jessica.
Why would he leave everything to Dusty? And her fingerprints must be in file somewhere.
Why don't you match them with the unidentified ones on the milk carton? We will, Mr.
Farlow, but you don't know where she is.
She may not even be in the state.
Oh, she's here all right.
Why would she say she's going to Southfork when she left the sanitarium unless she had something in mind? We won't know that till we find her.
If you have any pictures, that might help.
Here.
[TELEPHONE RINGS.]
This was five years ago when she was staying with us.
I'd like to keep this and have copies made.
Of course.
We'll circulate them and maybe someone will remember having seen her.
- Mr.
Farlow? Phone call.
- Thank you.
- Hello? JESSICA: Clayton? - It's Jessica.
- Jessica.
Where are you? I wanna see you.
Oh, you'll see me all right, and before very long.
Why don't you come up the ranch and have dinner? No, I'll pick the time and the place.
It's me she's after, all right.
Oh, Clayton.
Well, I'm not gonna stay here and put the rest of you in jeopardy.
Why not move into a hotel out of town? We'll provide protection until we find her.
- That's what I'm gonna do.
- And I'm going with you.
No, it could be too dangerous.
Don't you dare say that to me.
You're my husband and I'm going with you.
If you're gonna do it, do it now.
All right, let's get some clothes together and get out of here.
Come on.
Mr.
Kazuto will meet you when you arrive.
He's already arranged living accommodations.
All right.
You have my number.
If you need any help, call me.
- I'll be fine.
- I'm certain you will.
I look forward to a long and profitable relationship.
Goodbye, good riddance.
Inagaki, appreciate your help.
I appreciate the suggestion.
She will be good for my company.
You'll get your warehouse back soon.
I'll see to that.
As you said, I'm sure we can be very helpful to one another in the future.
- You can count on it.
Oh, one more thing.
- Yes? You better keep an eye on that girl.
Before you know it, she'll be after your job.
WOMAN: The dining room sent you some coffee and a sandwich.
Oh, great.
It'll help me stay awake.
You know, I hate this kind of duty, just sitting around and waiting.
Nothing ever happens.
Terrific.
Thanks.
Ah.
Phew.
NARRATOR: Next on Dallas: Poor Clayton.
Jessica? That lady is nuts.
Whose blood are we talking about this time? Cally's.
- You bastard.
- You belong to me.
- You live in my house, you live by my rules.
- I won't.
- James? - Lf I stay here, I'm gonna kill him.
[WOMAN SCREAMS.]
- This was my chance to make it big.
- I'm sorry.
And I want you to keep your mouth shut until I do talk to my brother.
CALLY: James is the one who's been giving me strength.
- James? - He's very special to me.
That can be tricky, you and James, I mean.
No way.
I'll kill him.
- You cost me my first-born son.
- It was a miracle that I survived.
All I had to live on was fresh water, a few coconuts and the occasional fish.
Sounds like a healthy diet to me.
Certainly a lot healthier than being named in your will.
Excuse me, Clayton, but I gotta finish this here toast.
[WOMAN SCREAMS.]
JOHN ROSS: Dad, make her stay.
- Do you want me to stay? - With all my heart.
JOHN ROSS: See, Cally, this is your home.
Dad loves you.
- You feeling better, son? - Yeah.
You promise Cally's not leaving? Well, she told you herself she wouldn't leave.
It's just a little misunderstanding.
It happens between married couples all the time.
I guess I didn't realize how much you cared for her.
I do.
I really like Cally.
You know I'd never do anything in the world to hurt you.
I know.
Well, you get some sleep.
- See you in the morning.
- Good night.
- Is John Ross all right? - Yeah.
Since you told him you're not leaving.
Cally, I wanna thank you for changing your mind.
And I'm truly sorry for what I said.
I hope you mean that.
But I can't help but wonder, what if John Ross hadn't come after me? Well, if he hadn't, I would have.
Now, you know I want this marriage to work.
That's what I've been trying to do.
And I'm gonna keep trying, as much for John Ross as for you.
- I love that little boy.
- I know that.
It means the world to me.
But I've been thinking if you ever do something like that again, I am gonna leave.
And I'm not gonna sneak out like I did tonight.
I'm gonna let everybody know I'm leaving and I'm gonna let them know why.
So if this marriage doesn't work, it's not gonna be my fault.
Well, I think everyone will understand that.
Just remember, you've been fair warned.
And one more thing.
Who's that woman who called here tonight? Oh, Lord, is she calling here now? Did she tell you that we were supposed to have a meeting at some hotel? Yes.
How on Earth did she get my private number? Darling, it's just some crazy woman who's been bugging everybody to have a meeting with me.
Now, I got the telephone company and the police working on it.
First thing tomorrow morning, I'm gonna have my private number changed.
- She won't be calling here anymore.
- She better not.
Debbie, let me have the check, please.
Thank you.
Hasn't been a bad night for you, has it, Mac? Meaning what? Atticus is dead, you don't have to worry about the takeover at Westar.
I wasn't worried about it before.
Didn't sound like that by the tone of your argument.
If you got a crazy idea that I killed Atticus, why don't you tell the police? Because we didn't have the proof.
But it certainly worked to your advantage.
I can't deny that.
And I certainly owe a debt of gratitude to whoever did it.
- Thank you, honey, thank you very much.
- Yes, sir.
But aren't you two overlooking something rather important? Are we? It wasn't Atticus' own drink that killed him, it was yours.
He took it right out of your hand.
Oh, my God, that's true.
In all the confusion, I have forgot that.
Whoever our mysterious killer is, it was you he was after, it wasn't Atticus.
But why? I don't stand to inherit anything.
You figure out the why, it might point to the who.
In the meantime, Clayton, I think you're in very real danger.
Whoa.
Hi, can I get a cup of coffee over here? BOBBY: Well, well.
- Good to see you guys, it's been too long.
Yes, it has.
We've been trying to get together with you.
And you've been too busy for us to tell you the news.
- We're getting married.
- All right, that's great, it's about time.
- You finally came to your senses.
- Yeah, I guess I did.
Okay, tell me when the big day is.
Actually, that's why I wanted to talk to you.
Why me? For a variety of reasons, Cliff l'd like you to be my best man at the wedding.
I take it that means you're not getting married at Southfork.
No, I think we are.
Don't you think some noses will be out of joint if I show up there as your best man? Actually, I don't care.
We haven't had too many successful marriages at Southfork.
- Maybe you'll be a good luck charm.
- All right, I'd be honored.
- Then it's a done deal.
- It's gonna be a day to be remembered.
[CHUCKLING.]
- So, what do you think? - About what? The area.
It's pretty nice, huh? There's about a thousand condos and office buildings all within a mile here.
- Are you looking for a place to live? - No, a place to work, to own.
To get your idea going.
James, what are you talking about? Hey, like I said before, I have faith in your idea.
I think it can work.
So here it is.
I own it.
This? This club? It took most of what I have, but I got good financing for the rest.
It has a liquor license, a pretty good-sized dance floor.
Steady clientele.
Now, I figure we can redo some, expand it.
I already started on an advertising campaign.
You bought this for us? Like I told you before, I'm not gonna quit on you.
I don't believe it.
Now, it's not near as large as the one you and April had planned but it's got great potential.
Some hard work, good management and with a little luck, we're on our way.
What do you say? I say you are the best present a girl ever got.
Oh, it's gonna be great.
Can I see it? Yeah, but remember, it's not too big.
Oh, it will be when we get finished.
Well, thank you, sheriff.
Hopefully, it won't be for too long.
Bye.
Well, they can't give us men full-time but they will have a couple of deputies in front of the house during the day.
This whole thing is ridiculous.
Why would anyone wanna kill me? Why Curly and Rabbit? And Arlen? Yes, but there doesn't seem to be any logic to it.
Once Atticus came back, he destroyed the will.
Which means the original will is in effect.
That's right.
I wonder who will inherit from that one.
I'm not gonna stand around here until it's read.
Let's go get that lawyer, Spangler.
He's out of town, and his office is closed for weeks.
- There must be some way to get in touch.
- We can try.
We'd better.
How the hell else we gonna know what it says? There may be a way.
I would definitely go down to Austin for the governor's lunch.
All right.
I spoke to him two-, three times this weekend.
He is more and more impressed by what you've accomplished.
So am I.
Quite frankly, no one thought you'd get the legislation through that quickly.
- Including you.
- Including me.
In point of fact, you're making my job much easier than I thought it would be.
Believe me, the governor's job lies just ahead.
And you're still behind my getting it What an odd thing to say, of course I'm still behind you.
There are a lot of people who would rather see me governor than the head of the ORC, especially some independent oilmen.
In your own little roundabout way, are you trying to make a point? Yes, my point is J.
R.
Ewing.
But why? What's he got to do with anything? He has to do with the amount of time you spend with him over lunch and dinner.
I told you before, my personal life is no concern of yours.
It is when it concerns him.
Because he's gonna use you to try to derail me.
- Lf he can.
- Ha.
He can't.
I can handle Mr.
J.
R.
Ewing.
That's your first mistake, to think that you can handle him.
I have no doubt but what you're the best at what you do.
But I assure you, you have never come across a J.
R.
Ewing.
You almost sound as if you admire him.
I admire him as I do a poisonous snake.
They can kill so quickly.
That's why I stay away from poisonous snakes.
And that's why you should stay away from him.
Don't make the mistake of trying to tell me how to run my personal life.
Well, at the moment, you're running both of our lives.
And until that's over, forget about J.
R.
Let's not you forget who needs who the most here.
You can't have it both ways, so you better make up your mind to that.
Are you really willing to throw away your chance of becoming governor over something this stupid? Or could it be that you're jealous? You think J.
R.
And I are going to bed? I could care less.
I just know that this man has spent most of his life trying to stop me and I'm not gonna pay you to help him.
That is something that I would never do.
The best way not to help him is not to see him.
I run my life the way I choose.
So don't give me ultimatums.
I just did.
From now on out, it's up to you.
[CLATTERING.]
Should I ask how you got in? - Does it matter? - Not really.
If you're here to apologize for torpedoing my deal with April, forget it.
Well, people who know me better know I never apologize.
Then what do you want? Well, I brought you a little present.
Open it up.
What is this for? Traveling money.
- I'm not going anywhere.
- Uh-huh.
Now, the way I got it figured, you can leave town one of two ways.
One, with a smile on your face and lots of money.
Or you can be ridden out on a rail carried by a couple of good old boys I know.
Why? What have I done to you, J.
R? You interfered with my plans for James.
What are you talking about? Do you really think I'm gonna let him marry a money-hungry little vampire like you? - Marry? - Now, don't be coy with me.
He told me he was gonna marry you.
If you think I'm gonna let that happen, you're dumber than I ever imagined.
He said we were gonna get married? Hell, I'm sure he wanted to keep it from me until it was all over.
Do you think you can buy me off? James has got plenty of money.
And when you're gone, he'll inherit even more.
I guess we're gonna have to play this the hard way.
I don't think so.
How are you gonna stop me from telling James what you did? How much do you think he'd love his daddy once he found out you roughed me up? I'm willing to gamble on that.
Sorry, J.
R.
Your little bluff isn't gonna work.
I'm in the catbird seat, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Now, would you please get the hell out of here? If you make me mad, I might not invite you to the wedding.
Don't try on any wedding dresses just yet, honey.
I made it! - Good morning.
- Good morning.
- How are you? - All right, I guess.
I haven't really had the chance to tell you how happy I am for you and April.
Thank you.
She told me how nice you were to her.
I know how excited she is about the wedding.
And I'm gonna be back in plenty of time.
- You're going somewhere? - For a little while.
I'm gonna take my paint and canvasses.
Just be by myself, paint and think.
I know things haven't been going too well between you and J.
R and I didn't want to interfere, but I'm with you all the way.
I know that, Bobby.
I just wanna get my life back in perspective.
Well, I hope it works.
You know, when April and I get married I think you two will be real good for each other.
Everything's gonna work out, don't worry.
I hope so, Bobby.
I truly do.
Oh, damn.
I forgot something.
- You go on down.
- Well, I'll wait.
- I'll be right there.
- All right.
- Oh, J.
R.
, good.
- Mama? I wanted to talk to you alone.
Well, whatever it is, I can explain.
No, no, this isn't about you, J.
R.
This is about Clayton.
- You two aren't having trouble, are you? - Would you just listen to me, please? I believe that Clayton is in great danger.
Are you talking about that will? Where his friends got knocked off? That's right.
And whoever it is made an attempt on Clayton's life.
You're not serious.
Well, why aren't there armed guards around him? Oh, because he's a stubborn mule.
He thinks the deputies at the gate are enough.
But I think he needs a bodyguard.
And you're the only one I know who I thought might be able to suggest someone.
Well, I do know a policeman.
He might be able to take some time off.
- Today? - I'll call him right away.
Oh, J.
R.
, one more little thing.
Would this policeman? Would he know anything about safecracking? You're not thinking of doing anything illegal, are you? J.
R.
, I need your help, not a lesson in morality.
Oh.
Well, I'm not sure if I'm flattered by that, but I'll see what I can do.
Thanks, J.
R.
[INTERCOM BUZZES.]
- Yes, Virginia? VIRGINIA: Mr.
Ewing is here.
Why doesn't that surprise me? Ask him to come in.
Your timing is impeccable.
The flowers just arrived.
- You like them? - They're my very favorite.
Well, what a lucky guess.
And is there a reason for them? We haven't seen each other in some time and if fences needed mending, I'd like to do it.
Oh, I think our fences are in their usual condition.
- Guarded? - Exactly.
- So why are you here? - I come bearing gifts.
- A 10-gallon hat? - Not quite.
Jellybeans? Not just jellybeans, Texas jellybeans.
Fourteen different flavors.
Now, you struck me as a closet jellybean eater.
- I am, but take them out of my - Just try one.
There's no such thing as just one.
If I open this jar, I'll eat them all.
- How did you know? - Know what? - My secret weakness.
- Oh, just a hunch.
I like playing hunches.
As a matter of fact, I have a hunch you and I are gonna have dinner tonight.
- Do you indeed? - Mm-hm.
All right, since you're on such a roll take me to my favorite restaurant and you have a date.
Laurent? Eight p.
M? I'll have a reservation.
How did you know? Are you having me followed? - That wasn't just a hunch.
- No, it wasn't.
- How do you know? - Anything I wanna know, I find out.
Don't be late.
[DOOR KNOCKS.]
MICHELLE: James? JAMES: You got it.
Hey, give me a little warning before you do that.
I swallowed my gum.
- You're a fine one to talk about warnings.
- What do you mean? It's nice that you're so close to your father but don't you think you should ask me first? JAMES: Michelle, what are you talking about? Your daddy paid me a little visit last night.
You told him we were getting married.
Yeah, how did he feel about it? I think ready to kill is a good description.
Right on.
That's just what I wanted.
I don't understand.
Didn't you mean it about us? He was meddling in my life, just like he always does.
So I decided to shake him up.
I told him we were getting married.
You didn't mean it when you said you were gonna marry me? Right.
I mean, what's the hurry to get married? We're doing fine.
- Oh, we are, are we? - Yeah.
And to tell you the truth, I'm not so hot on marriage.
Look at my father and Cally.
Look at my mother.
All marriage does is make you lie and cheat.
No way.
- It doesn't have to be that way.
- Yeah, right.
I wanna go over these plans with you.
I got a meeting with the architect tomorrow.
You are something.
I'm fine to sleep with but not to marry.
It's got nothing to do with you.
And I am just the right one for you to throw up to your father.
Just the one you know he would hate you being married to.
Hey, come on, calm down, will you? What's wrong with things the way they are? You're what's wrong.
What makes you think I'd wanna marry you anyway? - I never said you would.
- You're damn right I wouldn't.
I never wanna see you or your stupid club or your dumb plans ever again.
Come on.
This is all for us.
There's not an us, not the way you want them.
Will you please get out of my apartment and out of my life? - Michelle.
- Get out! Fine.
That's the way you want it, you got it.
Just don't expect to ever hear from me again.
I don't expect anything from you.
- How much did Andre charge you? - For what? To tell you what food I like, the wine.
I mean, everything we had was my favorite.
Is that right? Say, Andre? Everything is to your satisfaction, Mr.
Ewing? Oh, yeah, it's fine.
Miss Rogers has a question for you.
Did Mr.
Ewing consult you about our dinner.
No.
Is there something wrong? Something is wrong.
- But not with the food, thank you.
- But of course.
This is not just a hunch.
How do you know so much about me? Why do you have to question everything in life? Why can't you just relax and enjoy? Because I dislike your ability to be able to do this.
Well, tomorrow night, you pick the restaurant.
I don't think there'll be a tomorrow night.
There probably shouldn't have been a tonight.
- Does this upset you that much? - Not just me.
Your dear friend, Cliff Barnes, he insisted that I not see you again.
He didn't.
Didn't he, though? He said it had to be you or him.
Well, it's unlike Cliff to do such a favor for me.
You see that as a favor? Well, you strike me as a woman who doesn't like to be told what to do.
- Unlike you.
- Oh, exactly like me.
Now, undoubtedly, you agreed to have dinner with me because you wanted to prove that you take orders from no man.
You don't think it's because I simply wanted to have dinner with you? Oh, I think you enjoy our little power struggles and clash of wills, as it were.
But I also think that you decided to do just the opposite of what Mr.
Barnes told you to do.
Now, how about a little coffee? Yes, I'm sure you know the blend.
Jamaican Blue Mountain.
Dinner tomorrow night? Same time, same place? Fine with me.
I'll order.
Wouldn't have it any other way.
[CHUCKLING.]
CLAYTON: There it is.
ELLIE: Can you open it? - Jeez, lady, it's a piece of cake.
Well, I don't feel too good about it with a cop standing there.
He's off-duty.
- Yeah, but a cop's a cop.
- Stop talking and just open it.
ELLIE [WHISPERS.]
: Mr.
Ratagan told us that Mr.
Ratagan told us you were very good at this.
Yeah, he'll know.
He's busted me twice.
Ah.
I told you.
Nothing to it.
CLAYTON: There it is.
The last will and testament of Atticus Ward.
Hold this, Ellie.
Well, I don't understand this at all.
- What is it, Clayton? CLAYTON: Listen.
"The entire balance of my estate valued at some $200 million I leave and bequeath to Steven, known as Dusty Farlow.
" ELLIE: Did you reach Dusty? - No.
He's on a hunting trip somewhere in the Dakotas with friends.
We can only hope that we make contact when he's home.
Clayton, I don't understand any of this.
Why in the world would Atticus Ward leave his entire fortune to Dusty? Got me.
I don't know.
Atticus came over to Southern Cross once in a while when Dusty was growing up but I can't think of any connection other than that.
But as strange as that is why would he then change the will and then not mention Dusty at all? I just don't know.
But I know one person who might.
- Who? - Jessica.
- Your sister? - Mm.
But she's been in the sanitarium for five years now.
What could she possibly know? She's Dusty's mother.
She might know something about him and Atticus that we don't.
And the first thing tomorrow morning, we're going over to have a talk with her.
Oh, yes, if she's rational enough to know what she's saying.
Well, for the time being, I don't know what else to do.
And I'm not gonna just sit around here and let someone take a crack at me.
[DOOR KNOCKS.]
- Who is it? MICHELLE: It's Shelley.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Come on in.
Thanks.
- Can I get you some coffee or something? - No, thank you.
- Getting ready for the wedding, huh? - Yeah, it's exciting.
And a little scary.
I could still use a maid of honor.
Never a bride, always a bridesmaid, that's me.
Shelley.
No big deal.
James and I broke up.
I guess he's one Ewing that doesn't have marriage on his mind.
I'm sorry.
- I know how much you care about him.
- That's okay.
- I still have you, haven't I? - Always, you know that.
Then why don't we go for it? Why don't we go ahead the way we were going to? You know my ideas for the singles complex will work.
Maybe it will, but not right now.
I've got my wedding coming up, and then the honeymoon.
I'd like to get used to being Mrs.
Bobby Ewing before I go plunging back into business.
What am I supposed to do while all this is going on? April, I can't sit around and wait for God knows how long.
Do your own thing.
I told you I'd finance you in a smaller venture.
No.
I'm going for it, it's all or nothing.
I'm tired of being low man on the totem pole.
I'm sorry, honest.
But right now, my answer has to be no.
You can't blame a girl for trying.
- See you around.
- At my wedding? Sure.
I won't let you down.
BOBBY [O VER PHONE.]
: Phyllis, would you come in here for a minute, please? Cliff Barnes, please.
I'm calling for Bobby Ewing.
Cliff.
Hi, it's Jackie.
Bobby wants to know if you can have dinner with him tomorrow night at the Riviera.
Say, Jackie, Bobby just told me that he wanted you to make that the Laurent for 8:30 with Cliff.
Okay, make that Laurent at 8:30.
Nice talking to you too.
Bye-bye.
- Sly still at lunch? - Yes, she is.
Say, would you run down and get me a turkey sandwich, honey? Sure.
- Hold the mayo.
- Okay.
Phyllis, tell Bobby Cliff wants to meet at Laurent at 8:30.
J.
Now we'll find out who's the best man.
KOHLER: Mrs.
Farlow, Mr.
Farlow? I'm Dr.
Kohler.
How can I help you? You're gonna untangle this mystery for me.
I don't understand.
It's simple, I wanna see my sister.
Why do I have to see you first? Obviously, there has been some mistake.
Well, then let's rectify it.
Take me to see Jessica.
But she's not here.
I thought you knew that.
You transferred her somewhere? Why wasn't I notified? She was released almost six months ago, Mr.
Farlow.
Hasn't she contacted you? Released, where? Where did she go? Southfork Ranch, Braddock, Texas.
Oh, my God.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
- I trust I'm on time? - To the minute, come in.
As I explained on the phone, it might be more discreet to meet here rather than at my office.
The only thing you didn't say is why.
First I must tell you how sorry I am that your plans for the warehouse met such difficulty.
I'm sure.
- Do you want a drink or something? - No, thank you.
As you remember, I was most impressed by your vision.
I know your sister possesses the money but I sensed you were the driving force behind the plan.
A lot of good it did me.
Look, I really don't feel like a lot of small talk so if you have something to say The most difficult thing I've had to learn here is your very direct approach to the heart of the matter.
So you've learned it, so let's hear it.
My company has taken over a resort and gambling complex in the Caribbean.
I need someone who has drive and vision who happens to also be American to take over the project.
- Me? - Exactly.
Why? Just because you like my ideas? You must have checked on me.
I have a brain, but no background.
We have more than enough people with the background and the technical knowledge.
We need someone with great ambition.
Someone who has their finger on the pulse of the times to make this the enormous profit-maker it should be.
You have a very favorable appearance.
And you also get very quickly to, as you say, the bottom line.
If this is true, what's in it for me? A very large salary, a bonus for signing the contract with us and a share of the profits.
If you're as smart as I think, you should be a very wealthy woman before long.
Sounds good, but I'd like to see something on paper.
I took the liberty of having our attorneys draw this up, it's all spelled out.
- This is quite a bonus.
- But speed is very important to us.
If you agree, our company jet will fly you there tomorrow.
You can take over immediately.
Is there any reason you cannot leave tomorrow afternoon? None.
Then sign and it's all yours.
Ah.
'45 Mouton, very impressive.
I thought you might approve.
Mm.
No, that's excellent.
Although I understand that the baron preferred the '49.
To me, it's a toss-up.
You're quite a contradiction.
I would never have guessed you knew your Bordeaux.
Well, I learned early on, the more you know, the luckier you get.
I've been wrong about you.
Is there the slightest chance that you are as good as you think? Well, perhaps we both are.
It's been some time since I've enjoyed a woman's company as much as yours.
Well, you told me you liked the challenge.
And you told me you like the chase, but not necessarily the capture.
[CHUCKLES.]
There are exceptions to every rule.
Well, shall we try to prove it? You damn jezebel, I warned you.
- Barnes, is there no place safe from you? - You shut up, J.
R.
- We're through, you're history.
- Is that a fact? Yeah, that's a fact.
The one person that can screw up my life and you're with him.
Please, please I told you, I see who I want when I want.
Not on my payroll, you don't.
Don't you try and tell me what to do, you strutting little peacock.
I'll tell you what to do, Miss Miracle Worker - What's going on? Cliff.
- Please.
It's your precious brother.
He's trying to torpedo me again.
I'm trying to have a quiet little business dinner.
Andre, would you throw him out of here? Me, out? No, she's out.
You better look at that contract again.
You can't just tear it up.
Please, please, you're disturbing everyone.
Cliff, calm down.
Yeah, I'm fine.
I am really fine.
J.
R.
, she's all yours.
I don't know why you'd really want her now that she's not working for me.
Barnes, what kind of behavior is this from a future governor of Texas? Governor? Without me, he couldn't get elected dogcatcher.
We'll see about that.
Come on, Bobby.
Let's go someplace where we can talk.
Why do I have the feeling this is all some grand plan of yours, J.
R? Andre, I must apologize.
Bring us more wine, would you? Destroy that glass.
Yes, of course.
Your brother's right.
You orchestrated this whole thing.
Sooner or later, you'll thank me for this.
He was a millstone around your neck, honey.
I thought you wanted him elected governor.
Well, I changed my mind.
Sooner or later, he's gonna self-destruct and they'll kick him out of the ORC.
And he'll drag you down with him, honey.
You're saying I should be grateful? Well, I'm saying that you owe me a small debt of gratitude, yeah.
And how far do you think that debt will take you? Well, half the fun is in the finding.
Not to bed, I assure you.
I have no interest in being another notch on your gun.
Nor I on yours.
Now, I'm very happy doing to Mr.
Barnes what I have no desire to do to you.
Oh, very good, Mr.
Ewing.
Very quick.
And almost very believable.
[CHUCKLES.]
MICHELLE: Hi.
Hi yourself.
Didn't think I'd ever see you in here.
I thought I'd come take one more look around.
You know, we could still do this together.
I wish, but I really don't think that's gonna happen.
- Not unless one of us changes.
- You mean me.
I guess I do.
But as much as I want it, I don't think it's gonna happen.
Michelle, we could still be a great team.
Why is getting married so important to you? I don't know, but it is.
And you don't know it now, but someday, you will.
What you're passing on could have been so good.
I would have been by your side no matter what.
You're the one pulling away, not me.
I guess that's what happens when you're the one who cares the most.
The funny thing is I never thought it would happen to me.
It won't again.
- Why are you making this sound so final? - Is that what I was doing? I guess even I can't handle that much rejection.
It's not rejection.
We could still be together.
That's just not enough anymore.
Good luck with your club.
Look, somehow my sister has to be tied up in all of this.
I hate to keep bringing up that old word proof, but I have to.
Only a few years ago, she kidnapped Ellie.
She thought Ellie was taking over her place with Dusty.
There's gotta be a connection between Atticus and Jessica.
Why would he leave everything to Dusty? And her fingerprints must be in file somewhere.
Why don't you match them with the unidentified ones on the milk carton? We will, Mr.
Farlow, but you don't know where she is.
She may not even be in the state.
Oh, she's here all right.
Why would she say she's going to Southfork when she left the sanitarium unless she had something in mind? We won't know that till we find her.
If you have any pictures, that might help.
Here.
[TELEPHONE RINGS.]
This was five years ago when she was staying with us.
I'd like to keep this and have copies made.
Of course.
We'll circulate them and maybe someone will remember having seen her.
- Mr.
Farlow? Phone call.
- Thank you.
- Hello? JESSICA: Clayton? - It's Jessica.
- Jessica.
Where are you? I wanna see you.
Oh, you'll see me all right, and before very long.
Why don't you come up the ranch and have dinner? No, I'll pick the time and the place.
It's me she's after, all right.
Oh, Clayton.
Well, I'm not gonna stay here and put the rest of you in jeopardy.
Why not move into a hotel out of town? We'll provide protection until we find her.
- That's what I'm gonna do.
- And I'm going with you.
No, it could be too dangerous.
Don't you dare say that to me.
You're my husband and I'm going with you.
If you're gonna do it, do it now.
All right, let's get some clothes together and get out of here.
Come on.
Mr.
Kazuto will meet you when you arrive.
He's already arranged living accommodations.
All right.
You have my number.
If you need any help, call me.
- I'll be fine.
- I'm certain you will.
I look forward to a long and profitable relationship.
Goodbye, good riddance.
Inagaki, appreciate your help.
I appreciate the suggestion.
She will be good for my company.
You'll get your warehouse back soon.
I'll see to that.
As you said, I'm sure we can be very helpful to one another in the future.
- You can count on it.
Oh, one more thing.
- Yes? You better keep an eye on that girl.
Before you know it, she'll be after your job.
WOMAN: The dining room sent you some coffee and a sandwich.
Oh, great.
It'll help me stay awake.
You know, I hate this kind of duty, just sitting around and waiting.
Nothing ever happens.
Terrific.
Thanks.
Ah.
Phew.
NARRATOR: Next on Dallas: Poor Clayton.
Jessica? That lady is nuts.
Whose blood are we talking about this time? Cally's.
- You bastard.
- You belong to me.
- You live in my house, you live by my rules.
- I won't.
- James? - Lf I stay here, I'm gonna kill him.
[WOMAN SCREAMS.]
