Dallas (1978–1991): Season 14, Episode 20 - Some Leave, Some Get Carried Out - full transcript

Last on Dallas:

You're kidding.

You are the new owner of
Southfork. Congratulations.

Congratulations? Hell.

You forced her into that,
you miserable old coot.

Knock it off, J.R. You think
the world is plotting against you?

I bet you're both in on this.

Calling Mama behind my back.

This can't go on forever.

You decide whether
you love me or not.

Leave him.



I'm not saying that you
have to fall in love with me.

But we do like each other. I
think we'd be good for each other.

Debra Lynn, this isn't
something I can decide in a week.

Giving up a son is something you
have to live with the rest of your life.

Isn't that her?

No.

It's not?

Call off the search.

Wherever she is, she doesn't
need me in her life anymore.

Well, I don't about you, but I
thought that was pretty good.

May I help you?

I'm Hillary Taylor.

I'm really rather anxious
to see my daughter.

- Hello?
- Hello. Is Bobby Ewing there, please?



Sorry, he left some
time ago. Any message?

Yeah. Um...

My name is Kit Marlowe.
I'm calling from California.

It's really important
that I speak with him.

- My number is 213...
- 213.

- 555...
- 555.

«4606. 4606.

I'll make sure he
gets the message.

Thank you.

He said he'd give
him the message.

Now, you be sure when you
ask Bobby for Jory's number...

you don't tell him it's for me.

- I don't wanna ruin the surprise.
- No sweat, Mrs. Taylor.

I'm glad to help.

David, would you put
that damn thing away?

- We got some business to talk.
- Oh, it helps me to concentrate, J.R.

It's not like we had a
major problem here.

We just want some fast action.

Whatever it takes to dissolve
my marriage to Michelle...

I want it done as
soon as possible.

Is she still living in the
same house with you?

Yeah. Is that a problem?

Not necessarily.

But isn't it just a little bit, uh,
uncomfortable for all of you?

That's why we want fast action.

Well, I'll see if I can't
petition the court tomorrow.

I'll need your marriage license
to the other wife, of course.

And I need a deposition
from you attesting to the fact...

that you didn't realize that you were
still married when you married Michelle.

I think it can all be settled
in the next 24 hours.

Under a real friendly judge.

Oh, good. I've got
the license with me.

But one thing.

I don't want any paperwork or anything
sent to Michelle till after I talk to her.

Which will be when?

Well, tonight, I guess.
I've gotta get it over with.

Good, well, I'll just go prepare
the deposition. Be right back.

She used to date
from time to time.

But not too often.

She was really serious
about her acting.

And about Bobby?

I think so.

She really liked him a lot.

Did she tell you why she
was going to Texas to see him?

No, I got back here one day
and there was a note from her...

telling me that she was going to visit
him. And that his real name was Ewing.

I suppose she'll explain it
all when she comes back.

Yeah. If she comes back.

Mm.

- Hello?
- Kit? It's Bobby.

Hi, Bobby. How are you?

I'm fine. How are
you? KIT Real good.

Although I need
to speak with Jory.

Do you know where she is?

Oh, sure, I do. She's staying
at the Tower Hotel in Dallas.

That's 214-555-9000.

Great. Thanks.

- 30, um, how's it going with you two?
- Oh, just fine.

She'll tell you about
it when you talk to her.

Okay. I got the message.

- I'll see you, Bobby.
- Bye-bye.

She's staying at
the Tower Hotel.

You better call her, talk to her
about something, in case Bobby asks.

I Will.

When are you leaving?

First plane I can
get out tomorrow.

And thank you, Kit.

You've been a big help.

It's my pleasure.

And don't worry. I won't tell
Jory that you're on your way.

Because I want it
to be a surprise too.

There you go.

How's that?

Is it good?

Hi.

I went by your room.

I guess you meant
it about leaving.

Didn't you think I did?

Well, I guess maybe I didn't.

Hey, little guy.

I want you to stay.

Not with things
the way they are.

No. As my wife.

You and Jimmy and me.

As a family.

Because you're
afraid of losing Jimmy?

I'm afraid of that. But
that's not the reason.

Well, then tell me what it is.

Well, I guess maybe it's because
I still see the same things...

in you that I fell in
love with the first time.

I mean, you don't wanna
run an empire, rule the world.

You're just you. You wanna
be married and have a family.

Lead a regular, normal life.

And we could've done it before.

I think we can now.

Well, anyway, I wanna try.

So I guess I'm asking
you to marry me.

Or stay married to me.

Will you?

Oh, yes.

Yes.

Yes. JAMES: Ha, ha.

- You.
- What about Michelle? Have you told her?

- She thought I was leaving too.
- Well, I spent the day at the lawyer's.

I called her at the office, and
I'm gonna meet her for dinner.

- To tell her.
- Yeah.

Do you want me to go with you?

Heh. I think I should probably
do it myself, you know?

I owe her that.

Come here, you.

Ah. Michelle's gonna be
out of here by tomorrow.

James has decided to
stay married to Debra Lynn.

Now, isn't that great?

Do you realize a fourth
generation of Ewings

are gonna be living
here at Southfork?

Yeah, except that James
is actually a Beaumont.

Oh, well, that's
just technicality.

Oh, Ray Krebbs has
never changed his name.

And he was a Ewing. I
mean, partly, anyhow.

I remember how tickled
you were about that.

Yeah, well, things
have changed, Bob.

Right now, I understand
how Daddy felt about Ray.

My, oh, my. The
wonders of parenthood.

You know, that brings up a
subject I think we ought to discuss.

Why did I have the feeling that
the other shoe was gonna drop?

Bobby...

I think that James and Jimmy should
have the same heritage that you and I did.

- Well, that's all right with me.
- But they can't.

The heritage I'm talking
about is Southfork.

- Forget it, J.R.
- Damn it, Bob.

My boys have the right to grow
up on family-owned property.

Well, it is family-owned.
We're brothers.

That's not the
same. You know it.

J.R., you are really something.

You never gave a damn about
this ranch until Mama gave it to me.

Which she never would've
done if she was thinking straight.

Give me a straight answer. Why
do you even care that I own it?

Because my boys James and Jimmy
have a right to grow up on their own ranch.

You have nothing to worry about
because I'm not gonna kick you off.

- That's not good enough.
- That's as good as it's gonna get.

Hi. MICHELLE: Hi.

- Right on time.
- Ha, ha. Yeah.

Would you pour?

Sure.

I, uh, talked to
Debra Lynn today.

She was packing.

It's funny.

I was so happy for me.

But I felt a little sad for her.

She really cares about you.

Yeah, I know she does.

But so do I.

And if one of us
had to get hurt...

I'd rather it was her than me.

I wish nobody had to get hurt.

Well, I've done something I
think will ease the pain for you.

- What?
- I've bought the McKay ranch for us.

We can live there.

Still be near Southfork.

You won't have J.R. looking
over your shoulder all the time.

And we can have
our own family there.

If that's why you bought it...

you shouldn't have.

But it's perfect.

Not for us.

There isn't gonna be any us.

I don't think I understand.

I went to my lawyer's today.

I'm getting a dissolution
of our marriage.

James, don't joke about this.

I'm sorry, Michelle.
It isn't a joke.

Debra Lynn agreed
to stay here...

as my wife.

You know, you really have
a terrible sense of humor.

How do you keep
such a straight face?

You know I'm right for you.

Not that little country mouse.

There's no easy way to say this.

Tomorrow or the day after...

you're gonna get the papers.

It's over.

Banging on the damn
door. I'm coming.

Who is it?

Open the door.

- Whoa. Whoa.
- Ha, ha.

My good old buddy, Cliff.

That bastard dropped me.

He wants little Miss
Priss and that damn kid.

- Talking about James?
- Heh.

Who else?

No more marriage.

You know why he did it?

I'll tell you why.

J.R.'s why.

J.R. hates me.

Mm-hm.

I really loved
him. I really did.

He didn't deserve you.

He's just a dumb kid.

Dumb kid.

Hey, look at the good side.

At least he's out
of Ewing Oil now.

You don't have to live at Southfork.
You don't have to see J.R. every day.

But I really loved him.

He didn't want me.

I'm so damn mad.

You're talking to the right guy.

I'm the world's leading
expert on the Ewings.

And I've learned one thing.

You don't get mad. You get even.

Get even. That's funny.

That's the truth.

And I know how we can do it.

Just think of the
team we would make.

You sell me half of Ewing
Oil and we'll drive him crazy.

We can do it. Listen to me.

Thank you.

Ah, good morning, everybody.

Sit right there, darling.

Well, it's a big day.

First official breakfast for
Mr. and Mrs. James Beaumont...

and my grandson, Jimmy.

Well, since it's official, welcome
to the family, Debra Lynn.

Thank you, Bobby.
I'm really happy.

You know, Debra Lynn,
you ought to get a decorator.

Go take a look at one of
the rooms, have him fix it up.

And then we could take
Lucy's old bedroom...

and turn it back into a
nursery for little Jimmy.

- With your approval, of course, Bobby.
- Oh, by all means.

And you know what,
when we get a chance...

we ought to decide about
the right school for Jimmy.

They're harder and
harder to get into nowadays.

- Never too soon to register that boy.
- I think we have a little time.

- He's not even 2 yet.
- Yeah. Yeah.

And, Debra Lynn, now
that you're one of us...

I want you to go down to the store,
get yourself a whole new wardrobe.

Kind of a wedding
present from me, all right?

You know, something befitting the
wife of a rising young oil executive.

Maybe you have forgotten.

I'm out of the oil business.

Oh. Well, that's just temporary.

You got every reason in the
world to make your life a success.

And I get big plans
on how you can do that.

Well, let's dig in. We've
got a lot of work to do today.

Here you go, drink that.
It will make you feel better.

Nothing is gonna
make me feel better.

How much did I drink?

I don't know. I wasn't
there for the most of it.

But I'd say you
had your fair share.

Go ahead. Drink that.

Ugh, how can you stand this?

Do you remember what
we talked about last night?

Not much.

Well, you were telling me what that
old skunk had done to you and why.

And I think you're right.

- About what?
- I think it was J.R.'s fault.

Do you remember when I went to
James and talked to him about you?

Vaguely.

Because all he could talk about
was how much he loved you.

And how happy he was.

Somewhere along the line...

J.R. must've gotten to that
boy and poisoned his mind.

I mean, that's the
only explanation.

Now all we have to do is figure
out how we can get back at him.

I know what I'd like to do.

I'd like to give him a
vasectomy starting at the neck.

Heh. It's not a bad idea, but
I think there's a better way.

You have in your power...

the ability to do something
that he could never get over.

I wish I could.

I would love it.

You know, it's funny that some of
the great ideas are the simple ones.

Sell me half of Ewing Oil.

What?

I mean, James isn't
there. You need me.

We could turn that
company into a giant.

And just think what
it would do to J.R.

I mean, who are the two people
that he hates the most in the world?

You and me.

So, what do you think his reaction
would be when he found out...

that we jointly own his
beloved daddy's company?

He'd hate it.

He would absolutely hate it.

Well, then let's do it.

Let me call up the attorney
to draw up the papers.

Call him right now.

I won't sell cheap, Cliff.

I paid a fortune for that
company. It's gonna cost you.

Hey, this time, I don't
care what it costs.

Um, listen, why don't
you call up Southfork...

and have him deliver all
your stuff over here? Hmm?

I mean, you know, just until
you find a place of your own.

Why don't I?

- I don't know. It looks good to me.
- Yeah, me too.

I don't wanna redecorate.
It's not like it's our house.

Yeah, that's for sure.

And another thing, what's
wrong with my clothes?

- Don't you like the way I dress?
- You look fine to me.

Then why do I need
a new wardrobe?

And what does the wife of a rising
young executive look like, anyway?

Ha, ha. As far as I'm
concerned, she looks like you.

I mean, it's all moving
a little fast for me.

Picking out a school for little Jimmy.
I mean, now that is really dumb.

Well, your dad is
certainly forceful, isn't he?

Yeah, I don't
think he can help it.

I know he's really happy
that we stayed married...

but he just can't get over
trying to run everybody's life.

You're not gonna let
him run ours, are you?

Heh, no way.

But I'm gonna try and
be patient with him.

Maybe it'll all pass.

I hope so. But I
somehow doubt it.

Hey, trust me. I'm only gonna
let this go so far and that's it.

Yeah?

Dad? Could we talk for a minute?

Sure.

I hadn't had any calls
from your school lately...

so I can trust you to take the
bus with Christopher tomorrow.

- That wasn't what I wanted to talk about.
- Yeah? What's on your mind?

I've been talking
to Mom a lot lately.

- She really wants me to come over there.
- Well, I'm sure she does.

You're not planning on
going real soon, are you?

You got your big brother and your
nephew living in the house now.

Everything's just going great.

Yeah, great.

Anyway, Mom wants to see me.

She sent me a ticket.

And Clayton's flying
to London tomorrow.

And I'm going with him.

Well, that's kind
of sudden, isn't it?

- Couldn't you have mentioned that earlier?
- You've been real busy.

And I only made
up my mind today.

I really wanna see Mom.

Well, that's only fair.

You get along with
that limey she married?

Yeah. He turned out
to be a real neat guy.

- Of course, she's got a tutor for you?
- Yeah.

Well, you have a nice visit.

Just make sure you
call regularly, huh?

I Will.

- Dad?
- Yeah?

I love you.

If I ever did know how to do the
two-step, I'm sure I've forgotten by now.

It's a good thing you're with me. I am
the best teacher that there ever was.

This is nothing like the
offices we had at Ewing Oil.

We'll stay here for a little while
then find something worthy of us.

We'll be wheeling and
dealing before you know it.

Yeah, son...

when somebody comes in, I want
them to know they're important offices.

- They're dealing with an important man.
- And then you stick it to them.

Oh, James. Of course.

You sure have a
lot of plans for us.

Well, I've been waiting for
this all my life and here it is.

You don't seem
too excited about it.

No, I'm just thinking
about John Ross.

When he took off this morning,
he hardly said goodbye to anybody.

Is he ticked off at me?

No, no. He's just
excited about the trip.

- You know how kids are.
- Yeah.

- I'm gonna miss that little sucker.
- We all are.

But I'm gonna keep you so busy,
you won't have time to miss anybody.

Good morning. James isn't in.

Don't I know it.

Take his damn name off the door.

Ha, ha! Game, set and match.

- No fair. I was getting warmed up.
- Oh, wonderful.

I want a rematch right now.

Oh, no. I'm taking this
win and running with it.

You are too strong
for me and too young.

One more set. Winner take all.

Ha, ha! Winner take all? We
haven't been betting anything.

- So let's play. I'll think of something.
- I have already thought of something.

Oh, yeah?

Yes, a quiet drink, and a quiet
lunch, in a quiet clubhouse.

And then what?

Well, if I have any
strength left, a quiet dinner.

A quiet early dinner.

And then some more Texas two-step?
I was kind of getting the hang of it.

No, not tonight. You
are wearing me out.

Please?

Ahh. Lord, protect me
from tireless teenagers.

Hey, that's not funny.

I am not a teenager.

I'm a legal voter.
I'm a legal drinker.

And lots of other
good legal stuff too.

Yeah, well, right now, I am only
interested in the legal drinker.

Come on. JORY: Ahh.

Okay. No dancing.

Maybe a movie. BOBBY: Oh.

You can just sit
there and eat popcorn.

You should've seen that
office when I finished it.

- I wish you would've been there to see it.
- Yeah?

I hope you didn't mess it up too
much. I was planning on using that.

You know, another nail in
J.R.'s coffin. Me in his office.

It may take a while to put
it back together. Ha, ha.

I'm not gonna worry about that.

Hey, put your drink down
and sign these contracts.

I don't want to
put my drink down.

Why are you in such a
hurry to sign these contracts?

How did you get
them so fast, anyway?

I just paid a little
legal overtime.

Now come on. I'm in a hurry.

Sooner you sign these contracts,
the sooner you get the check...

the sooner we can go after J.R.

Good old J.R.

Right there. Sign right there.

That's good. Now here.

We gotta get these
things signed...

then we're gonna go
out and do something.

Do you know what's funny?

No. What's funny?

Is that everybody thinks...

that I am just a
dumb blond, heh...

who doesn't know anything
at all about business.

I never said that.

Not to me, maybe.

But it's very funny.

Why is it funny?

Because I just sold
you 50 percent...

of Ewing Oil for
what I paid for all of it.

Are you kidding me?

You couldn't have
gotten it that cheap.

Sure. I'm kidding.

Never trust a dumb blond.

Well, hello, James.

- Come on in and pour yourself a drink.
- Thanks.

I missed you earlier.

I know you and Debra Lynn are
having some sort of second honeymoon...

but you could come
down for dinner.

Yeah, I'm sorry. We
were real busy talking.

See, we kind of made a decision.

Oh? About the room
or the decorator?

No. About our lives, and
where we wanna lead them.

Uh-huh.

I know you want Debra Lynn and
Jimmy and me living in Southfork with you.

Of course I do.

Well, that's not what we want.

We've decided to move back
east, where she comes from.

- What are you talking about?
- It's not gonna work out for us here.

Well, if I remember correctly...

you were a young man in
search of his daddy and a family.

And you got that.

Here we are all living together.

Well, you got that.

It will always be your family, not mine.
And I know you mean well when you do it.

But yesterday, you had our
whole lives planned out for us.

Because I care for
you and your family.

I want your lives to be good.

Well, so do I.

But I want them to be good because
I make them that way, not you.

I can't do that
while I live here.

Well, that doesn't mean
you have to move away.

You could buy a house in Dallas.
At least we could work together.

You can't help being
the way you are...

any more than a lightning bolt
can't help striking the ground.

You just don't
understand. You never will.

James, don't do this to me.

Oh, believe me, it isn't easy.

But you'll always be welcome in our house
if you wanna come and see us and Jimmy.

But we're leaving.

You know, you did turn out to
be the father I always wanted.

But now I'm a father, and I
have to do things my way.

Just like you.

- There you go.
- Thanks.

- It was a great day.
- Yeah.

I even enjoyed
that stupid movie.

- Do you want some coffee?
- I'm gonna head on home.

I'll call you in the
morning, okay?

Call me early.

You get some rest.

Hello, Jory.

What the hell are
you doing here?

You poor baby.

You've fallen in love
with him, haven't you?

It's none of your damn
business how I feel about him.

Of course it is.
You're my daughter.

Not anymore.

I wish I'd never met you.

Is it so easy for
you to hate me?

I hate what you did. I
hate what it made you.

And because I will always stand
in the way of you and Bobby?

Do you think I don't
understand how you feel?

Even with everything
going on in Paris...

do you think I didn't see
what kind of a man he is?

But that didn't
stop you, did it?

No. You just went right
ahead with your dirty little plan.

Do you know what
that did to him?

I know what it did to me.

And worse, I know
what I did to you.

And I regret that
with all my heart.

Yeah, sure, you do.

What do you want here?
Why can't you just let me alone?

Because I love you.

And I've lost you
and I can't stand that.

You've last me
because of what you did.

Don't you understand that?

Of course I do.

That's why I've decided to turn
myself over to the authorities.

I'm willing to take what
I have coming to me.

God knows I deserve it.

But you're my daughter.

And I couldn't just let it
end like that between us.

What do you want from me?

Not your forgiveness.

I can't even forgive myself.

But I never stopped loving you.

Can you remember what we had?

I devoted my life to you.

I didn't have to but I did
because I love you so.

I know that.

You were the most
wonderful person in the world.

Maybe that was the problem.

Maybe I never thought
you'd do anything wrong.

You were perfect.

Maybe you just fell
from too high a place.

No.

I was never that special.

There were two things
in my life that I loved.

John Foley was one.

But mostly, you.

When John died,
something in me snapped.

But as God is my witness, I
never intended for April to die.

I was going to let them go.

But that's not what
happened, is it?

Are you really gonna
turn yourself in?

Yes.

I don't wanna run anymore.

Maybe for Bobby...

it will at least make
April's death easy.

But I can't live the rest of my life
knowing that you turned against me.

Please.

I can't forget what happened.

But I could never
stop loving you, Mama.

On July.

On July.

There's one more thing
you have to do, Mama.

You have to see Bobby.

I can't.

He's the one that you have to
have forgiveness from, not me.

No, I...

Let me just take my punishment
and you two go on with your lives.

We can't.

Not till Bobby knows what I do.

You have to, Mama.

For all of us.

I'll go with you.

I'll be right there
by your side.

Tomorrow.

Do you remember
when I was little...

and there was something
coming up that I didn't wanna do?

You would make hot cocoa...

and we'd sit up and
we'd talk all night.

And you'd make
everything all right for me.

I remember.

I bet they have
great hot cocoa here.

I'm gonna order us some.

And tonight, we'll sit and talk.

And tomorrow won't be that bad.

Oh, you're getting
heavier by the day, Jimmy.

Now, you all be sure and call
me soon as your plane lands.

Oh, we will.

Well, I'm gonna
miss you, Debra Lynn.

Well, it's not that far away.

You can come visit any time.

Goodbye.

- Here you go, James.
- Thanks.

Well, you know, you're
really something, Daddy.

So are you, son. So are you.

- Say "Bye-bye, Papa."
- Bye-bye, Papa.

Ha, ha. Come on.

We're leaving right now.

Bobby's waiting for us.

Hey.

No matter what, nothing's ever
gonna change how we feel right now.

Thank you.

Good morning.

- Do you have any aspirin?
- Oh, right there in the nightstand.

Coffee and an aspirin. That's
a heck of a way to celebrate.

But then, we did most of
the celebrating last night.

Justice of the peace said you were
the drunkest bride he'd ever seen.

Cliff, what are
you talking about?

I'm talking about our wedding
ceremony. It was lovely.

Really? Too bad
you don't remember it.

Quit joking around.

There's no way in hell
I would ever marry you.

Well...

according to this
marriage license, you did.

It's not my signature.

I never applied for
a marriage license.

You might have missed it when you
were signing these contracts yesterday.

But it was in there with them.

Oh, you bastard.

I was so drunk. I didn't
know what I was signing.

Yeah, well, I noticed that.

But it's legal.

Mrs. Barnes.

Why?

Why did you do this?

Well, for one reason...

being married to you gives me
100 percent control of Ewing Oil.

And for another, I always thought
you were a damn fine-looking woman.

I always wondered what
you would be like in bed.

So this morning is as
good as any time to find out.

You stay away from me,
you miserable little creep.

Wait a minute, you might not love
me now, but over the years, you'll learn.

Starting now.

Get away from me.

I'll blow your damn head off.

- Is that any way to talk to your husband?
- I mean it.

Where are you going?

Southfork.

Ha, ha. You're
forgetting something.

- You don't live there anymore.
- No. J.R. does.

He is the one
who did this to me.

I'm sorry, Bobby.

How nice.

There aren't really words
to tell you how I feel.

- So?
- I told you in Paris...

that I meant to change history.

And what I did was
destroy all our lives.

Why are you sorry?

For April?

You, me? Why?

All of us.

Especially Jory.

And you.

By some miracle, Jory and
I have come together again.

And I can only ask you...

that you not take out what
you feel toward me on her.

I wouldn't do that.

Believe me, not
because of you...

but because too many innocent
people have already been hurt by you.

For what it's worth to you, I'm
going to turn myself in today.

I don't ever expect
you to forgive me.

I can only hope that somehow you'll find a
way to understand what happened to me...

when John Foley died.

Who can understand
that better than I?

Because I care for Jory,
I'm gonna tell you something.

I'm not really sure you
deserve to know it...

but the anger and the hatred
that I felt towards you is gone.

The pain will always be there.

But I don't want an
eye for an eye anymore.

Thank you, Bobby.

Before I turn myself in, I would
like one more day with Jory.

One more.

That's her.

The woman who killed my sister.

Next on Dallas:

Oh, it's true. It
really happened.

She's dead.

What happened? You
aimed for J.R. and missed?

That woman killed my sister.

You do remember
Dusty Farlow, don't you?

I don't know what rock you
had to turn over to find him...

but those voting
rights are legally mine.

Wouldn't be too sure of that.

Sell me Ewing Oil.

All right, but not all of it.

Fifty percent.

Oh, my God.

You and I are partners?
