Dallas (1978–1991): Season 2, Episode 18 - The Red File: Part 2 - full transcript

Announcer: HERE ARE SOME SCENES

FROM THE FIRST HALF
OF TONIGHT'S STORY.

THANK YOU, DARLING.

I NEVER KNOW IF IT'S ME
OR THE SECRETS WE SHARE

THAT MAKES ME SO
APPEALING TO YOU.

THE NEW CHIEF OF THE
OFFICE OF LAND MANAGEMENT.

I INTEND TO USE THE FULL
POWER OF THIS OFFICE...

TO BURY J.R. EWING.

SHE KNOWS ABOUT EVERY DEAL,
EVERY PAYOFF WE EVER MADE.

IF SHE TALKS TO BARNES,
WE'RE IN TROUBLE.

SHE'S GOT TO HAVE
PROOF. SHE'S GOT NO PROOF.



SOON AS I GET
BACK TO THE OFFICE,

I'LL CALL DAN MARSH,

HAVE HIM PUT A TAIL ON HER.

J.R., YOU ARE SO WORRIED
ABOUT WHAT I KNOW,

YOU HAD MY APARTMENT SEARCHED.

YOU'LL NEVER FIND IT...

'CAUSE YOU DON'T
KNOW WHERE TO LOOK.

YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SELL.

I'M ALWAYS READY TO BUY.

I DON'T THINK YOU
HAVE THE PRICE.

J.R. HASN'T HURT
YOU BADLY ENOUGH.

NO. WHAT I HAD IN MIND

WAS PUTTING YOUR FRIENDSHIP
WITH BARNES TO GOOD USE.

YOU DON'T WANT ME



TO SLEEP WITH CLIFF, DO YOU?

COULD MEAN A LOT
OF MONEY TO YOU.

Recording: THIS IS CLIFF BARNES.

I'M OUT RIGHT NOW. LEAVE
YOUR NAME AND NUMBER

AFTER THE TONE, AND
I'LL GET BACK TO YOU.

HELLO, CLIFF. THIS IS JULIE.

YOU'RE RIGHT. I DO KNOW WHERE
THE SKELETONS ARE BURIED.

I'VE BEEN HURT ENOUGH,
AND I'M READY TO SELL.

ALL WE HAVE TO
TALK ABOUT IS PRICE.

LET ME PLAY SOMETHING
FOR YOU, MR. AMES.

Julie: AND I'M READY TO SELL.

ALL WE HAVE TO
TALK ABOUT IS PRICE.

YOU SURE SHE CAME
ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP?

YEAH, I'M SURE. LOOK AROUND.

HEY, JULIE, YOUR DOOR'S OPEN.

AAH!

LET GO OF ME!

DID J.R. SCARE YOU OFF,

OR YOU JUST CHANGE YOUR MIND?

YOU'RE GONNA KILL ME,
AREN'T YOU? AREN'T YOU?

LET'S GO. COME ON.

AAH!

I UNDERSTAND YOU
ARRESTED CLIFF BARNES.

HE'S JUST IN FOR QUESTIONING.

DID YOU KNOW HE HAS A
TELEPHONE ANSWERING MACHINE?

WE'RE GONNA PLAY THIS
FOR YOU, MR. BARNES,

THEN WE'RE GONNA
READ YOU YOUR RIGHTS,

THEN WE'RE GOING TO ARREST
YOU FOR THE MURDER OF JULIE GREY.

HOW DID THE POLICE
GET THE MESSAGE?

PHONE TAP. WHO WOULD DO THAT?

J.R.

ARE YOU SURE OF THAT, CLIFF?

OH, YEAH. HE TAPPED MY PHONE.

WANTED TO MAKE SURE I
WASN'T TALKING TO SUE ELLEN.

HONEY, HOW'S CLIFF?

WELL, WHY DON'T YOU
ASK YOUR BROTHER?

J.R.? WHAT ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?

HE'S THE REASON CLIFF'S IN JAIL.

CLIFF'S IN JAIL BECAUSE
HE KILLED SOMEBODY.

THAT'S NOT TRUE AND YOU
DAMN WELL KNOW IT, J.R.

YOU FRAMED HIM!

WE CAN'T LET ALL THIS
AFFECT US, PAMELA.

FIRST MY DADDY, AND NOW CLIFF.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW IF I
CAN BE MARRIED TO A EWING!

WHAT I NEED NOW
IS SOME TIME ALONE.

PLEASE LET ME HAVE THAT, BOBBY.

WELL... THAT'S NO LOSS.

WHAT KIND OF A MAN
ARE YOU, ANYWAY?

CLIFF COULD GO TO JAIL,
MAYBE THE DEATH PENALTY.

WELL, HE DESERVES
IT. HE'S GUILTY.

YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT.

IT'S ALL BECAUSE YOU
DIDN'T WANT ME AND HE DID.

CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.

MISS ELLIE...

IS BOBBY GONNA STAY LOCKED
IN HIS ROOM ALL MORNING?

NO, JOCK, BUT... HE'S VERY EDGY.

RIGHT NOW HE DOESN'T
LIKE THIS FAMILY VERY MUCH.

WELL, I KNEW IT WAS
GONNA TURN OUT THIS WAY

WHEN HE MARRIED A BARNES.

YOUR SON IS IN
LOVE WITH HIS WIFE.

DOESN'T THAT COUNT FOR ANYTHING?

WELL, LET HIM SETTLE
IT, THEN, BRING HER BACK.

THERE'S WORK TO BE
DONE AROUND HERE.

WHAT ABOUT RAY?

HE'S LAID UP.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HIM?

WELL, HE SAID THE WINCH
IN THE BARN CAME LOOSE.

LOOKS MORE LIKE HE
GOT KICKED BY A MULE.

YOU KNOW, MISS ELLIE, THERE'S
SOME THINGS GOING ON AROUND HERE

THAT I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.

HELLO?

NO, LIZ, SHE'S NOT HERE.

SURE, I'LL GIVE HER A MESSAGE.

OH, LIZ, THAT'S REALLY CRUMMY.

NO, NO, I'LL TELL HER.

BOBBY, I THOUGHT
YOU MIGHT LIKE THIS

SINCE YOU MISSED BREAKFAST.

I WASN'T IN THE MOOD FOR

A BIG, HAPPY FAMILY BREAKFAST.

IT WASN'T A BIG, HAPPY
FAMILY BREAKFAST.

SUE ELLEN ISN'T FEELING WELL,

AND LUCY SEEMS CRUSHED,

AND YOUR DADDY
HARDLY SAID A WORD.

MAMA... IF YOU COULD
RESIGN FROM A FAMILY

LIKE YOU DO FROM A JOB,

I THINK I'D RESIGN
FROM THE EWINGS.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHY?

WELL, I THINK THAT SHOULD
BE REAL OBVIOUS, ISN'T IT?

WELL, NOT TO ME.

MAYBE YOU'RE JUST
GETTING USED TO IT.

SEEMS TO ME THAT THE
EWINGS WILL STOP AT NOTHING

IN PURSUIT OF THE ALMIGHTY BUCK

AND ALL THE POWER IT CAN BRING.

BOBBY, BE SPECIFIC.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE
BARNES FAMILY, ABOUT PAM.

THAT'S RIGHT.

FIRST DADDY DESTROYS DIGGER...

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE. I
THINK I KNOW DIGGER BARNES

BETTER THAN
ANYONE IN THIS FAMILY.

THE ONLY ONE THAT HURT
DIGGER WAS DIGGER HIMSELF.

ONCE A WELL CAME IN,
DIGGER LOST ALL INTEREST.

HE'D BE DRUNK FOR WEEKS,

LEAVING YOUR DADDY WITH
ALL THE RESPONSIBILITY.

MAMA, ARE YOU SAYING
THAT DADDY'S BLAMELESS,

THAT HE DIDN'T CON
DIGGER OUT OF THINGS

THAT ARE RIGHTFULLY HIS?

BOBBY, DIGGER WOULD'VE
ENDED UP THE WAY HE IS

EVEN IF THERE'D NEVER
BEEN A JOCK EWING.

IF THAT'S SO, THEN
WHY IS CLIFF BARNES

CARRYING OUT THIS
VENDETTA AGAINST THE EWINGS?

AND WHAT'S J.R. GOING
OUT FOR CLIFF FOR?

DID J.R. REALLY HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO WITH

CLIFF BEING IN JAIL?

OR IS CLIFF LOOKING
FOR A SCAPEGOAT,

JUST AS DIGGER HAS
FOR ALL THESE YEARS?

MAMA, YOU DON'T REALLY THINK

THAT CLIFF IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR JULIE'S MURDER?

I DON'T WANT TO
THINK THAT. I LIKE CLIFF.

WELL, I DON'T
THINK HE IS, EITHER,

AND I BELIEVE PAMELA
WHEN SHE SAYS

THAT SOMEHOW J.R.'S
RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS ARREST.

DON'T LET YOUR PROBLEM WITH PAM

TURN YOU AGAINST
YOUR OWN FAMILY.

I'M TRYING NOT TO, MAMA,

BUT J.R.'S UP TO SOMETHING,
AND NOW CLIFF IS CHARGED

WITH MURDERING J.R.'S
FORMER SECRETARY?

IT'S A PUZZLE, MAMA.

I JUST DON'T HAVE ALL
THE PIECES, THAT'S ALL.

BOBBY, I DON'T LIKE
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

NEITHER DO I.

NO, MAMA, NEITHER DO I.

HELLO?

GOOD MORNING.

BOBBY. I DIDN'T WANT
YOU TO... I KNOW.

IT'S NOT GIVING ME
MUCH OF A CHANCE.

WELL, MAYBE I DON'T WANT
TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE.

THAT'S NOT THE REASON I CALLED.

WHAT IS IT?

LIZ CRAIG. SHE CALLED
FROM THE STORE.

OH, MY GOD.

I FORGOT TO CALL...
WELL, I'LL CALL HER.

NO. NO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

SHE LEFT A MESSAGE.

SHE GOT IT FROM THE TOP.

THEY WANT YOU TO
TAKE A LEAVE OF ABSENCE

TILL AFTER CLIFF'S TRIAL.

WELL.

I'M SORRY, HON.

SO THE JOB GOES, TOO.

LOOK, IT'S ONLY TEMPORARY.

SURE.

I WANT TO SEE YOU.

I DON'T KNOW, BOBBY.

I'M SUPPOSED TO SEE
CLIFF THIS MORNING.

WHAT TIME?

AT 10:30.

WELL, THEN, I'LL SEE
YOU RIGHT AFTER.

OH, BOBBY. BOBBY?

ARE YOU HAPPY, J.R.?

I MEAN, TRULY HAPPY?

SUE ELLEN, ARE YOU PLANNING
ON STAYING IN BED ALL DAY?

I COULD UNDERSTAND IT

IF YOU WERE HAVING A
DIFFICULT PREGNANCY,

BUT FRANKLY, YOU LOOK
HEALTHY AS A HORSE.

YOU MUST CONSIDER THIS
ONE OF YOUR GREAT DAYS.

YOU NOT COMING DOWN
FOR BREAKFAST TODAY

DIDN'T LOOK RIGHT, HONEY.

SOONER OR LATER, DADDY AND MAMA

ARE GONNA START
TO ASK QUESTIONS.

AND THAT WORRIES
YOU, DOESN'T IT?

NO, NOT REALLY.

I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE OF
SOME CONCERN TO YOU, THOUGH.

OF THE 2 OF US, YOU
HAVE THE MOST TO LOSE.

I JUST WONDER IF
YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT.

A TRIUMPH FOR THE
MIGHTY J.R. EWING

WHO MANAGED TO IMPRISON THE MAN

WHO BEDDED YOUR
WIFE AND YOUR MISTRESS.

YES, I KNOW ABOUT JULIE, J.R.

SHE WAS JUST ONE

OF A LONG LINE OF
YOUR BED PARTNERS

THAT EVENTUALLY
LED ME TO CLIFF...

WITH AMAZING RESULTS.

I'LL BE HOME FOR
DINNER. TRY TO MAKE IT.

YOU'RE JEALOUS, AREN'T YOU?

DON'T FLATTER YOURSELF, SUGAR.

YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER
EWING POSSESSION,

LIKE AN OIL LEASE.

EASILY DISPOSABLE.

GOOD MORNING, BOBBY.

SAY ANYTHING MORE TO ME, J.R.,

AND I'LL SEND YOU TO
WORK WITH A SPLIT LIP.

WELL, YOU'RE NOT USED
TO SLEEPING ALONE.

IT'S MADE YOU ALL GROUCHY.

I'M IN NO MOOD FOR YOUR HUMOR.

YOU'VE SUCCEEDED.

AFTER ALL THESE
MONTHS, PAMELA'S GONE.

DON'T PRESS YOUR LUCK.

WELL, I DON'T THINK
THAT BARNES GIRL LEAVING

IS MUCH OF A LOSS.

LOOK, I DON'T CARE
WHAT YOU THINK.

NOW, I WANT TO KNOW IF
YOU SET UP CLIFF BARNES.

NOW, HOW THE HELL
COULD I DO THAT?

I MAY CARRY A LOT
OF WEIGHT IN DALLAS,

BUT I DON'T THINK THE POLICE
FORCE IS GONNA BOOK A MAN

FOR MURDER ON MY SAY-SO.

NO, CLIFF BARNES SET HIMSELF UP.

HE KILLED JULIE.

HE'S GOING TO PAY FOR IT.

WELL, WE KNOW THAT GAL
MEANT A LOT TO YOU, J.R.

THAT'S WHY WE CAME OVER TO
OFFER YOU OUR CONDOLENCES.

DID JULIE HAVE A
FAMILY OF ANY KIND?

NOT THAT I KNOW OF.

WHO'S TAKING CARE
OF THE FUNERAL?

I AM, AS SOON AS THE
CORONER RELEASES THE BODY.

TOO BAD.

I KNOW YOU AND SHE
WERE REAL CLOSE.

WILLIE JOE, JEB, WILL YOU
COME TO THE POINT, BOYS?

WELL, WHEN SHE WAS
WORKING FOR YOU,

SHE KEPT YOUR
CONFIDENTIAL FILES...

THE RED FILE... DIDN'T SHE?

SHE HAD NOTHING.

THERE'S A LOT OF
STUFF IN THERE, J.R.,

ASIDE FROM OLD JOCK'S WILL.

STUFF THAT MIGHT NOT
LOOK SO GOOD IN AUSTIN

OR WASHINGTON, D.C.

WILLIE JOE, I THINK
YOU'RE HARD OF HEARING.

I SAID SHE HAD NOTHING.

KINDA MAKES YOU WONDER, THOUGH.

WHAT WAS BARNES DOING UP THERE?

HE HAD THE HOTS FOR HER.

OH.

MUST'VE BEEN A CRIME OF PASSION.

THAT'S THE WAY I FIGURE IT.

HI.

HI.

DID YOU SEE CLIFF?

YEAH.

HOW IS HE?

WELL, YOU KNOW CLIFF.

ALWAYS TRIES TO WISECRACK
HIS WAY THROUGH EVERYTHING.

I'M REALLY FRIGHTENED FOR HIM.

PAMELA, YOU SHOULDN'T
GO THROUGH THIS ALONE.

I CAN'T COME BACK TO SOUTHFORK.

LIVE IN THE SAME
HOUSE WITH J.R.?

LOOK AT HIM EVERY
EVENING ACROSS DINNER?

NO. NOT AS LONG AS I KNOW

HE'S RESPONSIBLE
FOR CLIFF BEING IN JAIL.

PAMELA, THAT'S ONLY PART OF IT.

I'M THERE, TOO, YOU KNOW?

MAMA, SHE LOVES YOU
VERY MUCH. DADDY, LUCY.

YOUR DADDY ONLY TOLERATES ME

BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH.

YOU KNOW, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU
LOOK FOR EXCUSES TO STAY AWAY.

THIS WHOLE THING WITH CLIFF

HAS EXPOSED ALL OUR DIFFERENCES.

NOW I'M CONFUSED.

ABOUT WHAT?

ABOUT WHETHER YOU LOVE ME?

NO, NEVER THAT.

WELL, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ELSE.

WELL, THERE IS.

DO YOU BELIEVE
THAT CLIFF IS GUILTY?

I DON'T THINK HE
KILLED JULIE, NO.

THEN WHAT ABOUT J.R.?

DO YOU THINK HE FRAMED CLIFF?

I THINK J.R. WOULD
DO ANYTHING HE COULD

TO KEEP WHAT HE THINKS IS HIS...

LIKE I WOULD, TO KEEP YOU.

OH, BOBBY, IT'S NOT
THAT I DON'T MISS YOU.

I WOKE UP THIS MORNING
AND YOU WEREN'T THERE,

AND I NEEDED YOU SO BADLY.

WELL, THEN LET'S
WORK IT OUT TOGETHER.

PAMELA, WE'RE BETTER TOGETHER.

NO. IT WOULDN'T WORK RIGHT NOW.

I'M GONNA GO SEE CLIFF.

WHO'S PRESIDING OVER
THE EXAMINING TRIAL?

THE JUSTICE OF THE
PEACE, JAY POTTER.

POTTER. HE'S AGAINST EVERYTHING

I STAND FOR, YOU KNOW.

WELL, LOOK, YOU KNOW

I CAN'T GET A POSTPONEMENT
ON AN EXAMINING TRIAL,

BUT IT'S JUST THE FIRST STEP.

IT'S A BAD FIRST STEP.

THINK I'D BE BETTER OFF
WITH A GRAND JURY LATER

OR POTTER NOW?

NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK
OF POTTER, HE'S A FAIR MAN.

IN FACT, I'M SURE HE'S
GONNA BEND OVER BACKWARDS

JUST TO BE SURE THAT
THERE'S NO PREJUDICE.

I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.

YOU BETTER LEARN
TO TRUST ME, CLIFF,

UNLESS YOU WANT
TO DEFEND YOURSELF.

HAVE A FOOL FOR A CLIENT.

YEAH, I KNOW.

OH, THERE'S BOBBY EWING.

HE MUST HAVE COME
TO BUG MY CELL.

HI. I'M COLE YOUNG,
CLIFF'S LAWYER.

BOBBY EWING.
PLEASED TO MEET YOU.

HOW'S IT LOOK FOR HIM?

WELL, UM, NOT TOO BAD.

WHAT BRINGS YOU...

WHAT BRINGS YOU TO
THE LOCAL BASTILLE?

I WAS GONNA RECOMMEND A LAWYER.

I SEE IT'S NOT NECESSARY.

IS HE ANY GOOD? YEP.

HIS WIN COLUMN IS LONGER
THAN HIS LOSS COLUMN.

WELL, IS THERE
ANYTHING I CAN DO?

NO, I THINK YOU EWINGS HAVE DONE

QUITE ENOUGH, THANKS.

THAT'S A CHEAP SHOT, CLIFF.

I'M NOT IN A VERY NOBLE MOOD.

LOOK, THIS IS ALL GONNA
BE REAL EXPENSIVE.

DO YOU NEED ANY MONEY?

THAT IS THE LAST THING
IN THE WORLD I WOULD DO,

TAKE MONEY FROM A EWING.

LOOK, CLIFF, I WANNA HELP,

BECAUSE I'D LIKE TO
THINK OF YOU AS A FRIEND.

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT YOU CAN DO, FRIEND,

IF YOU WANT TO SECURE
MY IMMEDIATE RELEASE...

YOU GO OUT AND YOU FIND
OUT WHO REALLY KILLED JULIE.

THE AMOUNT OF
ALCOHOL IN HER BLOOD

WOULD INDICATE THAT JULIE
GREY WAS NOT INTOXICATED.

ALTHOUGH THE
CONTENTS OF THE STOMACH

REVEAL THAT SHE ATE VERY LITTLE

DURING THE 12 HOURS
PRECEDING HER DEATH,

IT IS MY CONCLUSION

THAT SHE DIED OF
MASSIVE INTERNAL INJURIES,

AND THE CONDITION
OF THE BODY INDICATES

THAT THOSE INJURIES
WERE RECEIVED

AS A RESULT OF A FALL
FROM A GREAT HEIGHT.

IN YOUR OPINION, DOCTOR,

SHE WAS NOT DEAD BEFORE
SHE HIT THE GROUND?

NO.

IS IT POSSIBLE, DOCTOR,

THAT MS. GREY WAS
PUSHED FROM THE ROOF?

OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.

THE LEARNED ASSISTANT
DISTRICT ATTORNEY

HAS NOT ESTABLISHED THAT
MS. GREY WAS ON THE ROOF

OR ANYPLACE ELSE BEFORE
HER BODY WAS FOUND,

EXCEPT IN THE ALLEY.

SUSTAINED.

REPHRASE, MR. SLOAN.

YOU DON'T HAVE A JURY
TO IMPRESS, JUST ME.

YES, YOUR HONOR.

DOCTOR, DID YOU NOTE ANY
OTHER INJURIES TO THE BODY,

INJURIES THAT MAY NOT HAVE
BEEN CAUSED BY THE FALL?

YES, THERE WERE.

WILL YOU DESCRIBE
THESE INJURIES, PLEASE?

YES.

THERE WERE
ECCHYMOSIS ON EACH ARM

AND A PARTICULARLY BAD
ONE ON THE LEFT CHEEK.

YES, AND WHAT IS AN
ECCHYMOSIS, SIR, IN LAY TERMS?

THAT'S A PURPLE
DISCOLORATION OF THE SKIN

CAUSED BY HEMORRHAGE.

HAVE YOU SEEN BRUISES
LIKE THIS BEFORE?

OH, YES, MANY TIMES.

WHAT WAS THEIR
MOST LIKELY CAUSE?

OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.

THIS IS CAUSE FOR SPECULATION.

I'LL ALLOW THIS, MR. YOUNG.

WE HAVE AN EXPERT
WITNESS ON THE STAND.

THOSE BRUISES ON HER ARMS

WERE MOST LIKELY CAUSED
BY SOMEONE GRABBING HER,

SOMEONE STRONG ENOUGH
TO EXERT GREAT PRESSURE.

AND THE BRUISE ON HER FACE?

OH, SHE WAS HIT, HIT VERY HARD.

NO MORE QUESTIONS.

DOCTOR...

THESE BRUISES ON
THE DECEASED'S ARM,

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT SHE COULD
HAVE CAUSED THEM HERSELF?

I DON'T SEE HOW.

WELL, LIKE THIS.

SUPPOSING SHE WAS IN GREAT...

GREAT PAIN, EMOTIONAL UPSET,

COULDN'T SHE HAVE
HURT HERSELF THIS WAY?

I SUPPOSE IT'S POSSIBLE.

AND THE BRUISE ON HER CHEEK,

ISN'T IT ALSO POSSIBLE THAT SHE
COULD HAVE RUN INTO SOMETHING,

A DOOR, A CABINET IN
THE BATHROOM, ANYTHING?

YES, BUT... UH, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

YOU'RE EXCUSED.

NOT BAD.

FOR A JURY, YES, BUT
FOR A JUDGE, I DON'T KNOW.

MR. SLOAN, MR. YOUNG,

WOULD YOU PLEASE
APPROACH THE BENCH?

CLIFF, IS ANYTHING WRONG?

NO. LOOK, PAM,

YOU CAN'T WORRY
EVERY INCH OF THE WAY.

IT'S PROBABLY NOTHING.

REMEMBER, THIS IS
JUST AN EXAMINING TRIAL

TO DETERMINE IF
THERE'S ENOUGH EVIDENCE

TO SHIP THIS ALL OVER
TO THE GRAND JURY

TO SEE IF THEY WANT TO INDICT.

I UNDERSTAND, YOUR HONOR,

BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE MY CLIENT

ON THE STREET A FREE
MAN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

UNDERSTOOD.

LIEUTENANT, AFTER YOU
EXAMINED MS. GREY'S APARTMENT,

WHERE ELSE DID YOU GO?

TO THE ROOF. WHY?

SHE HAD TO FALL FROM SOMEPLACE.

THE WINDOWS IN HER
APARTMENT WERE CLOSED.

AND WHAT DID YOU
FIND ON THE ROOF?

ON THE EDGE OF THE ROOF
WE FOUND PIECES OF CLOTH.

OUR LAB IDENTIFIED THEM AS
COMING FROM THE SAME FABRIC

THE DECEASED WAS WEARING.

YOUR HONOR,

WE WOULD LIKE TO MARK
THESE AS PEOPLE'S EXHIBIT "A."

ANYTHING ELSE, LIEUTENANT?

YES. A WOMAN'S SHOE.

IT MATCHED THE ONE REMAINING
ON THE DECEASED'S FOOT

WHEN WE FOUND THE BODY.

MARK THIS PEOPLE'S EXHIBIT "B."

PLEASE NOTE THE EXHIBIT
AND ENTER IT INTO THE LOG.

MR. YOUNG.

NO QUESTIONS.

YOU'RE EXCUSED, LIEUTENANT.

WE FOUND MR. BARNES'
FINGERPRINTS

ON THE FRONT DOOR, THE
DOOR LEADING TO THE BEDROOM,

AND THE CLOSET OF THE DECEASED.

WOULD YOU SAY IT
APPEARED THAT MR. BARNES

WAS SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING?

OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR,
CALLS FOR SPECULATION.

SUSTAINED.

NO MORE QUESTIONS.

DID YOU DUST THE
BANNISTER IN THE STAIRWELL

LEADING TO THE ROOF?

YES.

YES, AND WHAT DID YOU FIND?

PARTIAL PRINTS THAT
APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN MADE

BY THE DECEASED.

DID YOU FIND
MR. BARNES' FINGERPRINTS

IN THE STAIRWELL?

NO.

THANK YOU. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

WE RODE UP IN THE
ELEVATOR TOGETHER.

HE GOT OFF ON MY FLOOR, WENT
STRAIGHT TO MS. GREY'S DOOR,

OPENED IT AND WENT IN.

WHEN YOU SAY "HE,"
WHOM DO YOU MEAN?

HIM. THAT MAN RIGHT OVER THERE.

LET THE RECORD
SHOW THAT THE WITNESS

POINTED OUT MR. CLIFF
BARNES IN THIS COURTROOM.

WILL THE ATTORNEYS
PLEASE APPROACH THE BENCH?

TAKE ME HOME, J.R.

NO, DARLING, I CAN'T.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY
WANTS ME TO TESTIFY.

THEN I'LL GET A CAB.

NO, NO. YOU JUST STAY HERE
AND ACT LIKE THE LOVING WIFE

EVERYBODY ASSUMES YOU TO BE.

LOOK ON IT AS A
WONDERFUL LESSON IN CIVICS.

YOU CAN HELP LUCY WITH
HER GOVERNMENT CLASS.

DO YOU SOLEMNLY SWEAR

THAT THE TESTIMONY
YOU'RE ABOUT TO GIVE

AS EVIDENCE IN THIS
TRIAL IS THE TRUTH,

THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH,

SO HELP YOU GOD?

I DO.

PLEASE BE SEATED.

WOULD YOU PLEASE STATE
YOUR NAME AND OCCUPATION

FOR THE RECORD, SIR?

JOHN EWING JR., PRESIDENT
OF THE EWING OIL COMPANY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. EWING.

NOW, YOU KNEW THE
DECEASED, DID YOU NOT?

YES, I DID.

SHE WAS MY SECRETARY
FOR 9 OR 10 YEARS,

WORKED FOR MY FATHER
THE YEAR BEFORE THAT.

AND WHEN DID SHE
LEAVE YOUR EMPLOY?

JUNE OR JULY OF LAST YEAR.

DID SHE QUIT OR WAS SHE FIRED?

SHE RESIGNED.

CAME AS QUITE A SURPRISE.

WELL, WHAT WAS THE
REASON FOR RESIGNING?

YOUR HONOR, THE DEFENSE
IS READY TO STIPULATE

THAT MS. GREY DID
WORK FOR EWING OIL.

HOWEVER, I DON'T SEE WHERE
HER RESIGNING LAST JUNE OR JULY

HAS ANYTHING TO
DO WITH THIS CASE.

I OBJECT TO THIS
LINE OF QUESTIONING.

YOUR HONOR, IF I MAY,

I THINK YOU WILL
FIND THESE QUESTIONS

ENTIRELY GERMANE TO THIS CASE.

YOU MAY PROCEED.

THANK YOU.

NOW, MR. EWING, WHY
DID MS. GREY RESIGN?

SHE HAD HAD AN
AFFAIR WITH MR. BARNES.

IT CAUSED HER
CONSIDERABLE HEARTBREAK.

OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.
THIS IS ANCIENT HISTORY.

OVERRULED.

EXCEPTION.

GO ON, MR. SLOAN.

SHE TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS AFFAIR?

YES, SHE DID.

AND WAS THIS HER ONLY
REASON FOR RESIGNING...

HER HEARTBREAK?

NO. SHE HAD TAKEN SOME PAPERS

FROM OUR CONFIDENTIAL FILE

AND GIVEN THEM TO MR. BARNES.

OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.

THIS HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH THIS CASE.

OVERRULED.

DID MS. GREY HAVE ACCESS

TO ALL OF EWING OIL'S
CONFIDENTIAL FILES?

SHE DID.

SHE WAS CONSIDERED
PART OF THE FAMILY.

NOW, MR. EWING, WAS THERE
ANYTHING IN THOSE FILES

ABOUT MR. BARNES?

OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.
I SEE NO CONNECTION.

OVERRULED. EXCEPTION.

ANSWER THE QUESTION, MR. EWING.

WELL, YES, THERE WERE
ANY NUMBER OF REFERENCES.

NOW, COULD THESE REFERENCES
BE CONSIDERED HARMFUL

TO MR. BARNES' CAREER?

WELL, NOW, YOU
HAVE TO UNDERSTAND.

I CAN'T REMEMBER
WORD FOR WORD, BUT...

TAKEN IN A CERTAIN CONTEXT,

YES, THEY COULD BE HARMFUL.

SO HARMFUL, IN FACT,

THAT MR. BARNES MIGHT BE WILLING
TO PAY MS. GREY TO GET THEM?

OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.

MR. EWING HAS NO
WAY OF KNOWING THAT.

I WITHDRAW THE QUESTION. SORRY.

MR. EWING, HOW DID YOU
FEEL WHEN YOU DISCOVERED

THAT MS. GREY HAD TURNED
OVER YOUR CONFIDENTIAL FILES

TO MR. BARNES?

BETRAYED.

NO... BLACKMAILED.

I FELT THAT IF SHE
COULD BLACKMAIL ME,

SHE COULD BLACKMAIL ANYONE.

DAMN IT, COLE,

CAN'T YOU KEEP ALL THAT
OLD STUFF ABOUT JULIE OUT?

COULD YOU HAVE?

YOU WENT TO HER APARTMENT.

YOU OBVIOUSLY
SEARCHED THE PLACE.

YOU COULD AT LEAST
HAVE WORN GLOVES.

I'M NOT IN THE MOOD FOR JOKES.

CLIFF, I'M SURE THEY'LL
FIND OUT IT WASN'T YOU.

I WISH I WERE SURE OF THAT.

IT SEEMS CIRCUMSTANTIAL.

INNUENDO.

NO. NOT ON YOUR LIFE.

NO. NOT ON MY LIFE.

SLOAN'S VERY CAREFULLY
LAYING A FOUNDATION

SO HE CAN HAVE MY
ANSWERING MACHINE TAPES

ENTERED AS EVIDENCE.

AND WHAT JULIE HAD
TO SAY ON THOSE TAPES...

TSK...

CAN SOUND AN AWFUL
LOT LIKE BLACKMAIL.

IS THE TAPE ADMISSIBLE?

WE CAN TRY TO STOP IT.

I WISH THERE WAS
SOMETHING I COULD DO TO HELP.

YEAH, OK, YEAH.

I HAVEN'T SEEN MY MAIL IN DAYS,

AND I COULD USE A FRESH SHIRT.

OK. DO I HAVE TIME?

I HAVE TO BE ON THE
STAND IN A WHILE.

I'LL GET IT. GOT A KEY?

OH... I THINK YOU GOT
TO CHECK WITH THEM.

I DON'T HAVE THEM.

BOBBY... PLEASE HURRY BACK.

I'M GOING TO NEED
YOU IN THE COURTROOM.

THAT'S THE BEST THING
I'VE HEARD ALL DAY.

I'M GOING ACROSS THE
HALL. I'LL SEE YOU IN A MINUTE.

THANK YOU.

ALL YOU HAVE TO
DO IS TELL THE TRUTH.

I JUST DON'T WANT TO DO
ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HURT YOU.

JUST TELL THE TRUTH.

BECAUSE IF THEY
FOUND OUT OTHERWISE,

THEN I'D BE HURT.

WELL, I GOT YOUR MAIL,

AND YOU GOT A LOT OF SHIRTS,
BUT NONE OF THEM CLEAN,

SO I BOUGHT YOU A NEW ONE.

OH-HO-HO, THANK YOU.

I GOT TO SAY, RIGHT OR WRONG,

YOU EWINGS DO HAVE FLAIR.

LETTER'S FROM JULIE.

PAWN TICKET, KEY.

SUNSET PAWN
BROKERS. WHAT IS THAT?

THAT'S TO A BRIEFCASE
OR A SUITCASE?

YEAH.

SO, I GUESS THAT'S WHAT
SHE MEANT ON THE TAPE.

THE JUDGE IS COMING BACK.

Y'ALL BETTER GET
INTO THE COURTROOM.

THANK YOU.

WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ME THAT,

AND I'LL CHECK IT OUT FOR YOU.

EXCUSE ME... YEAH?

I'D LIKE TO PICK THIS UP.

I THINK WE SOLD IT.

BEEN A MONTH.

HERE IT IS.

NOW I REMEMBER.

GOOD-LOOKING DISH
LEAVES THIS THING

WITHOUT THE KEY.

HOW AM I GOING TO SELL
A LOCKED ATTACHE CASE,

YOU TELL ME.

HOW MUCH?

THAT'LL BE $15, WITH INTEREST.

THANK YOU.

A COPY OF DADDY'S WILL.

PLEASE STATE YOUR
NAME FOR THE RECORD.

PAMELA EWING.

ISN'T THAT PAMELA BARNES EWING?

YES.

SPEAK UP, PLEASE, SO
THE COURT CAN HEAR YOU.

YES.

NOW, WHAT IS YOUR
RELATIONSHIP TO THE DEFENDANT?

HE'S MY BROTHER.

NOW, MRS. EWING, I
WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU

THAT YOU ARE UNDER OATH TO
ANSWER MY QUESTIONS TRUTHFULLY

AT ALL TIMES.

YOUR HONOR, I MUST OBJECT

TO THE ASSISTANT
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S

LACK OF COMMON COURTESY.

THAT'S A NEW ONE, COUNSELOR.

YOUR HONOR, MRS. EWING
IS THE PEOPLE'S WITNESS,

YET THE ASSISTANT
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S

ALREADY IMPLIED THAT SHE
INTENDS TO LIE UNDER OATH.

NOW, I PROTEST THAT,

NOT ONLY AS AN
OFFICER OF THIS COURT

BUT AS A CITIZEN OF THE
GREAT STATE OF TEXAS.

WE STILL PRIDE OURSELVES
ON BEING GENTLEMEN.

I NOTE YOUR
OBJECTION, MR. YOUNG.

IF I HAVE OFFENDED THE
COURT, OR MRS. EWING,

I DO APOLOGIZE.

PROCEED.

THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.

MRS. EWING, DID YOU
KNOW JULIE GREY?

I HAD MET HER.

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOUR BROTHER
AND JULIE GREY WERE LOVERS?

OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR!

THE ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY

IS TRYING TO IMPLY A
LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP

BETWEEN THE DEFENDANT
AND THE DECEASED.

MR. SLOAN, WILL YOU BE MORE
SPECIFIC AS REGARDS TO TIME?

WELL, WERE YOU AWARE THAT
THERE WAS A RELATIONSHIP

BETWEEN YOUR
BROTHER AND JULIE GREY

SINCE HER RETURN TO DALLAS?

NO.

WELL, WOULDN'T YOU SAY

THAT YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS
YOUR BROTHER HAS COOLED

SOMEWHAT LATELY?

NO, IT'S THE SAME
AS IT'S ALWAYS BEEN.

YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND HAD
DINNER WITH YOUR BROTHER

SEVERAL NIGHTS
AGO, ISN'T THAT TRUE?

YES.

YOUR HUSBAND WAS LATE.

YOU AND YOUR BROTHER HAD
SEVERAL MINUTES TO TALK ALONE.

YES, AND WE DID.

WELL, WITH ALL DUE
RESPECT TO THE FACT

THAT THIS IS THE
GREAT STATE OF TEXAS

AND YOU ARE
INDEED, MA'AM, A LADY,

WE HAVE A DEPOSITION
FROM THE WAITER

THAT YOU AND YOUR BROTHER ARGUED

ABOUT AN AFFAIR
THAT HE WAS HAVING.

YES.

SPEAK UP, PLEASE.

YES.

WAS THAT AFFAIR WITH JULIE GREY?

NO, IT WAS NOT.

WELL, THEN, WHO WAS IT WITH?

OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.
THE LADY IN QUESTION

HAS NOTHING TO
DO WITH THIS CASE.

SUSTAINED.

DID YOUR BROTHER
HAVE MANY AFFAIRS?

I MUST OBJECT MOST
STRONGLY, YOUR HONOR!

MY CLIENT IS A GREAT
PUBLIC SERVANT.

THE ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY

IS TRYING TO MAKE
HIM THE SUBJECT

OF CHEAP TABLOID HEADLINES.

MR. SLOAN, WILL YOU DROP
THIS LINE OF QUESTIONING?

I SEE NO RELEVANCE.

YES, YOUR HONOR.

NOW, MRS. EWING, WE
DO HAVE TESTIMONY

THAT YOUR BROTHER
WAS ROMANTICALLY LINKED

WITH MS. GREY PRIOR TO LEAVING
DALLAS A FEW MONTHS AGO.

DID YOU KNOW THAT?

OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR!

NO, MR. YOUNG, I'LL ALLOW THIS.

WE ALSO HAVE TESTIMONY
THAT THIS AFFAIR

CAUSED CONFIDENTIAL
PAPERS TO BE PASSED

FROM THE PRIVATE FILES OF
EWING OIL TO YOUR BROTHER.

WERE YOU AWARE OF THAT?

YES.

HOW WERE YOU MADE AWARE OF THAT?

I WAS ACCUSED OF
STEALING THE PAPERS.

AND HOW WAS THIS
MISCONCEPTION CLEARED UP?

I DISCOVERED JULIE
HAD TAKEN THEM.

YOU MEAN TO SAY THAT

JULIE GREY WAS PERFECTLY
CONTENT FOR YOU TO TAKE THE BLAME?

YES. UNTIL I CONFRONTED HER.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR BROTHER?

UH, I'M SORRY. I
DON'T UNDERSTAND.

ISN'T IT ALSO TRUE
THAT YOUR BROTHER

WAS PERFECTLY CONTENT
FOR YOU TO TAKE THE BLAME?

THAT HE WAS WILLING TO
SACRIFICE HIS OWN SISTER

TO HIS OVERPOWERING
POLITICAL AMBITIONS?

OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR!
HE'S LEADING THE WITNESS.

MR. SLOAN...

ALL RIGHT, YOUR
HONOR, I'LL REPHRASE.

MRS. EWING, WHEN YOU
NEEDED YOUR BROTHER,

DID HE COME TO YOUR DEFENSE?

No.

NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

MR. YOUNG?

UH, NO QUESTIONS, YOUR HONOR.

YOU MAY BE EXCUSED.

ALL RISE.

THE COURT IS RECESSED
UNTIL 9 A.M. TOMORROW.

I'M SORRY, CLIFF.

IT'S OK. YOU SAID
WHAT YOU HAD TO SAY.

PAM...

EWING OIL.

NO, I'M SORRY.
MR. EWING ISN'T IN.

YOUR WIFE ON THE PHONE.

IS J.R. IN HIS OFFICE?

UH, HE'S ON THE PHONE RIGHT NOW.

LADIES, YOU TAKE THE
REST OF THE DAY OFF.

BUT, J.R... TAKE THE
DAY OFF, PLEASE.

OK.

YEAH, NO FOOLIN', DAVE.

I THINK WE GOT CLIFF BARNES
OUT OF OUR HAIR PERMANENTLY.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

NOW, WHAT THE HELL
WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?

YOU'LL HAVE PLENTY
OF TIME FOR THAT

WHEN I'M THROUGH.

IF YOU'RE STILL
PRESIDENT OF EWING OIL.

YOU KNOW, I THINK ONE
OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKES

I EVER MADE IN MY LIFE WAS
LETTING DADDY TALK ME INTO

TAKING YOU OFF THE ROAD

AND PUTTING YOU INTO
AN OFFICE NEXT TO MINE.

NO, J.R., THAT WAS YOUR
SECOND-BIGGEST MISTAKE.

THAT'S YOUR FIRST.

WHAT IS THAT?

JULIE WAS GONNA SET YOU UP.

SHE XEROXED ALL YOUR
CONFIDENTIAL FILES,

AND SHE WAS GONNA TURN
'EM OVER TO CLIFF BARNES.

WHERE'D YOU GET A HOLD OF THIS?

OH, IT'S ALL THERE,
J.R. EVERYTHING.

RECORDS OF PAY-OFFS TO SENATORS,

CONGRESSMEN.

PHOTOGRAPHS OF
JUDGES. IT'S ALL THERE.

WHY, THAT CHEATIN' LITTLE TRAMP.

THAT'S YOUR RED
FILE, ISN'T IT, J.R.?

I MEAN, THAT'S EVERYTHING

THAT YOU DIDN'T THINK
I WAS READY TO SEE.

WELL, YOU ARE MY BABY BROTHER.

SOME OF THIS
STUFF'S PRETTY GAMEY.

I SUPPOSE YOU'RE READY TO
FACE THE REALITIES OF LIFE.

WELL, I WASN'T READY FOR THAT.

IT'S A COPY OF DADDY'S WILL.

WHAT IS SHE DOIN' WITH THAT?

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES
I CAN NEVER FIGURE OUT

WHAT MAKES A
WOMAN'S MIND WORK. I...

YEAH, J.R., IT PUZZLED ME, TOO.

I MEAN, IT WOULDN'T HAVE MEANT

A WHOLE LOT TO CLIFF
BARNES, WOULD IT?

JUST PART OF THE PACKAGE.

I THINK THE ONE

THAT WOULD'VE FOUND THIS
MOST INTERESTING IS DADDY.

NOW, WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?

I'LL REFRESH YOUR MEMORY.

"THIS CODICIL
AMENDS PARAGRAPH 37.

"IN THE EVENT OF MY DEATH,

"I HEREBY GRANT TO MY
SON, JOHN EWING, JUNIOR,

"FULL DRILLING RIGHTS TO ALL OIL

"FOUND IN SECTION 40
OF SOUTHFORK RANCH

AS DESCRIBED IN SAID PARAGRAPH."

BOBBY, I CAN EXPLAIN IT.

TO WHO? TO DADDY? TO MAMA?

WELL, LET'S NOT
BRING THEM INTO THIS.

J.R., THIS IS A FORGERY!

IT WAS A BUSINESS MANEUVER.

A B... IT BROUGHT AN
OIL CREW TO SOUTHFORK.

CRANE WAS DAMN NEAR
KILLED ON ACCOUNT OF IT!

TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE,

YOU WERE TRYIN' TO CON
YOUR OWN MOTHER AND FATHER.

GOD, J.R., HOW LOW CAN YOU GET?

I WAS TRYING TO MAKE EWING OIL

INTO THE MOST POWERFUL
INDEPENDENT IN TEXAS.

I NEEDED THE MUSCLE.

DO YOU MEAN THAT
SOMEBODY ELSE IN THE CARTEL

KNEW ABOUT THIS?

J.R., YOU'RE THE ONE
WHO KNEW THAT JULIE

WAS GONNA GIVE THESE
PAPERS TO CLIFF BARNES.

I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT...
DON'T LIE TO ME!

BOBBY, I NEVER KILLED
ANYBODY IN MY LIFE.

I'M NOT A MURDERER.

I DIDN'T KILL ANYBODY,
NOT EVEN DURING THE WAR.

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME,
YOU TALK TO DAN MARSH.

HE HAD A TAP ON BARNES'S PHONE.

HE BROUGHT ME THOSE
TAPES THE NEXT MORNING

AFTER JULIE WAS DEAD.

THE NEXT MORNING?

THAT'S RIGHT.

THEN I GUESS I BETTER
TALK TO DAN MARSH.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA SAY
ANYTHING TO DADDY ABOUT THIS,

ARE YOU?

WHO ELSE KNEW ABOUT
JULIE GREY'S PHONE CALL

TO CLIFF BARNES?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKIN' ABOUT.

LOOK, MARSH, I KNOW
YOU'RE WORKING FOR J.R.

I WANNA KNOW WHO
ELSE YOU'RE WORKING FOR.

THAT'S CONFIDENTIAL.

CLIFF BARNES IS ON TRIAL

FOR A MURDER HE DIDN'T COMMIT!

NOW, YOU BETTER START TALKIN'!

DO YOU KNOW HOW
MANY YEARS YOU CAN GET

FOR AN ILLEGAL PHONE TAP?

WHAT IT DOES TO YOUR CAREER

AND YOUR LICENSE
WHEN THE COPS FIND OUT?

IT'S YOUR FUNERAL.

UH... JEB AMES.

WILLIE JOE GARR.

THEY WERE PAYIN'
ME TO WATCH HER.

SHE KNEW TOO MUCH,

AND SHE WAS GETTIN'
CLOSE TO BARNES AGAIN.

YOU SET UP CLIFF BARNES.

YOU'RE GARBAGE, MARSH.

CAN I HELP YOU?

I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO
MR. AMES AND MR. GARR.

OH, I'M TERRIBLY
SORRY. THEY JUST LEFT.

THEY HEADED FOR ALASKA TO CHECK
ON THEIR NORTH SLOPE HOLDINGS.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME, HON?

ALICE.

WOULD YOU DIAL
THE AIRPORT FOR ME?

ARE YOU MR. BOBBY EWING?

YES, I AM.

WELL, I DON'T THINK THAT
MR. AMES OR MR. GARR

WILL WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

WELL, I DON'T WANT
TO TALK TO THEM,

EITHER, DARLIN',
BUT, AIRPORT, PLEASE.

OK.

WHAT FLIGHT ON THEY ON?

THEY'RE TAKING
THE 4:00 TO CHICAGO

AND THEN ON FROM
THERE TO ANCHORAGE.

THANK YOU.

AIRPORT SECURITY, PLEASE.

LARRY TINSDALE.

TINSDALE, SECURITY.

LARRY, BOBBY EWING.

HEY, MR. EWING. HOW ARE YOU?

REAL GOOD, REAL GOOD.

UH, I NEED A BIG FAVOR
FROM YOU, THOUGH.

YOU GOT IT.

COUPLE OF FRIENDS OF MINE...

YOU KNOW JEB AMES
AND WILLIE JOE GARR?

WELL, THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE

ON A 4:00 TO CHICAGO,

AND I HAVE TO SPEAK
TO 'EM REAL BAD

BEFORE THEY LEAVE DALLAS.

LEAVE IT TO ME.

LARRY, THAT MEANS EVEN IF

THEY HAVE TO MISS THEIR FLIGHT?

NO SWEAT.

YOU UNDERSTAND? YOU GOT IT.

ALICE... WHY DON'T
YOU BUY YOURSELF

A LITTLE MORE OF THAT
PERFUME YOU'RE WEARIN'?

I THINK THAT WE MAY
HAVE A PRECEDENT HERE

IN SLY VS. ABBOTT, 1968, CLIFF.

PAM. WHERE'S BOBBY?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

I EVEN CALLED THE OFFICE,

AND THERE'S NO ANSWER.

NO ANSWER? IT'S ONLY 3:30.

I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT.

WELL, WE JUST HAVE TO HOPE

THAT HE'S OUT THERE TRYIN'
TO FIND SOMETHING TO HELP US.

CLIFF, IS IT THAT BAD?

SO YOU TELL HER, COLE.

WELL, I THINK THAT SLOAN HAS
LAID ENOUGH OF A FOUNDATION

TO INTRODUCE CLIFF'S
ANSWERING MACHINE TAPE.

AND IF POTTER HEARS THAT,

HE'S CERTAIN TO BIND CLIFF
OVER TO THE GRAND JURY.

WELL, IS THAT LEGAL?

COLE WILL ARGUE THAT IT
CONSTITUTES ILLEGAL WIRE TAP.

RIGHT.

AND THEN SLOAN WILL DENY THAT

AND SAY THAT IT
CONSTITUTES IMPLIED CONSENT.

I KNEW I WAS BEING RECORDED.

JULIE, BY TALKING INTO IT,

SHE KNEW SHE WAS BEING RECORDED.

RIGHT AGAIN.

WELL, YOU BOTH MAKE
IT SOUND SO HOPELESS.

WELL, IT'S NOT HOPELESS.

I CAN PROBABLY GET A
REVERSAL FROM A TRIAL JUDGE.

MAYBE EVEN LATER ON APPEAL.

AND BY THAT TIME,
MY DARLING SISTER,

MY CAREER IN
DALLAS WILL BE OVER.

FLIGHT 72 TO CHICAGO
IS NOW BOARDING.

FLIGHT 591 FOR ST. LOUIS...

MR. GARR? MR. AMES?

I WANNA TALK TO YOU.

WE HAVE A PLANE TO CATCH.

THIS WON'T TAKE LONG.

FOLLOW ME, GENTLEMEN.

LISTEN, HOW MUCH LONGER
YOU GONNA KEEP US IN HERE?

PATIENCE, GENTLEMEN.

PATIENCE.

THANK YOU, LARRY.

NO TROUBLE.

I'LL CALL YOU IF I NEED YOU.

I'LL BE RIGHT OUTSIDE.

ALL RIGHT, BOBBY,
WHAT'S GOING ON?

BOBBY, WE JUST DON'T HAVE
TIME TO TALK RIGHT NOW.

YOU TALK TO ME FIRST, BOYS,

AND THEN YOU TALK TO THE POLICE.

OR I SHOW 'EM THIS.

WHAT THE HELL ARE
YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?

YOU'RE GONNA CONFESS
TO KILLING JULIE GREY.

YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?

I KNOW I CAN CONVINCE
DAN MARSH TO TESTIFY

THAT HE GAVE YOU A
TAPE OF A PHONE CALL

THAT JULIE GREY
MADE TO CLIFF BARNES,

AND THAT HE GAVE YOU
THAT TAPE BEFORE SHE DIED!

AND HE ALSO HAD A TAIL ON HER.

AND ALL BECAUSE YOU WERE AFRAID

THAT SHE WAS GONNA
TELL CLIFF BARNES

ABOUT J.R.'S RED FILE.

AND, TO STOP HER
FROM DOIN' JUST THAT,

YOU KILLED HER.

COME ON, BOBBY!

YOU TURN US IN,

YOU'LL BE PUTTIN'
THE HEAT ON J.R.

YOU WOULDN'T DO
A THING LIKE THAT.

IF I HAD TO, BOYS, YES, I WOULD.

BUT I DON'T THINK I HAVE TO.

LET'S SEE WHAT I GOT HERE.

HERE'S A... PAYMENT
TO SENATOR NEEDHAM

MADE BY WILLIE JOE GARR.

HERE'S A CHECK TO
CONGRESSMAN BOOSTER

FOR $10,000 FROM JEB AMES.

NO NEED TO REPAY.

NOW, ISN'T THIS FUNNY, BOYS?

THIS IS A COPY
OF J.R.'S RED FILE,

AND YOU'RE RIGHT,

JULIE GREY WAS GONNA
GIVE IT TO CLIFF BARNES,

AND THERE'S A WHOLE
LIST OF PAY-OFFS IN THERE.

ALL OF 'EM MADE BY JEB
AMES AND WILLIE JOE GARR.

AND NOT ONE BY J.R.
MY BROTHER'S CLEAN.

LOOK, NOW, WE DIDN'T
WANT TO KILL HER.

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

WE JUST WANTED TO
GET HER OUT OF TOWN.

SHE RAN, GOT HYSTERICAL.
SHE FELL OFF THE ROOF.

WELL, THEN, I SUGGEST,

AS TWO PUBLIC-SPIRITED CITIZENS,

THAT YOU TELL THE
POLICE JUST THAT STORY.

WE'D GO TO JAIL.

NOW, LOOK, YOU SAID
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

NOW, CHANCES ARE YOU'LL GET OFF
WITH INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER.

BUT I SHOW 'EM THESE
DOCUMENTS, AND IT'S MURDER ONE.

THIS CASE IS DISMISSED,
AND THE DEFENDANT IS FREE.

I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.

WHO ME?

YEAH, 'CAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

THE ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY

SUDDENLY ASKS FOR A DISMISSAL

BECAUSE 2 OTHER GUYS CONFESSED?

WELL, YOU WERE LOOKIN'
FOR SOME KIND OF MIRACLE,

WEREN'T YOU?

YEAH, I GOTTA TELL
YOU I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS.

IT'S KIND OF HARD TO
BELIEVE AMES AND GARR.

WELL, THEY OBVIOUSLY THOUGHT

THAT JULIE HAD
SOMETHING ON THEM.

WHAT HAPPENED TO
THE PAWN TICKET, BOBBY?

UH, NOTHING.

UH, HE MUST HAVE SOLD
WHATEVER IT WAS FOR.

IT HAD SOMETHING
TO DO WITH J.R., RIGHT?

LOOK, CLIFF, YOU'RE
OUT OF TROUBLE.

WHY DON'T YOU FORGET IT?

FORGET IT?

J.R. KNEW SOMETHING,
HE TIPPED OFF THE POLICE,

HE SET ME UP TO
TAKE A MURDER RAP.

NO. I DON'T THINK
I'M GONNA FORGET IT.

WE'LL GET TOGETHER LATER,
AND WE'LL CELEBRATE, ALL RIGHT?

RIGHT NOW, I HAVE A
LITTLE WORK AT THE OFFICE.

OK. I GOTTA GO IN
THERE AND THANK COLE

AND TRY TO GET HIM
TO CUT MY BILL IN HALF.

THEN I GOT WORK TO DO.

THANKS FOR TRYIN'.

BYE.

HONEY?

WHY DON'T YOU PICK ME
UP AT THE HOTEL LATER?

GIVE ME YOUR COPY
OF THE WILL, J.R.

YOU'RE CRIPPLING EWING
OIL, YOU KNOW THAT?

THAT'S NONSENSE.

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS,

WE'RE GONNA BE WORTH MILLIONS.

NOW WITH JEB AMES AND
WILLIE JOE GARR IN JAIL,

YOU'RE BURNIN' THE WILL.

YOU'VE WRECKED ME WITH
THE CARTEL, YOU KNOW THAT?

STRIPPED ME OF ALL MY POWER.

THAT'S WONDERFUL, J.R.

YOU FORGE DADDY'S WILL,

SET CLIFF BARNES UP FOR MURDER,

AND ALL YOU CAN THINK
ABOUT IS YOUR POWER.

I DON'T SUPPOSE DADDY'S
GONNA KNOW ABOUT THIS.

WITH YOU BURNIN' THE WILL,

YOU GOT NOTHIN' TO
HOLD OVER MY HEAD.

I WOULDN'T SAY THAT, J.R.

I THINK I GOT SOMETHING
A WHOLE LOT BETTER.

FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE

I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT
YOU'RE ALL ABOUT.

YOU HAD SOMETHING TO
DO WITH CLIFF BEING FREED,

DIDN'T YOU?

IT'S NICE TO KNOW
YOUR WIFE THINKS OF YOU

AS A GOOD GUY FOR A CHANGE.

WHERE'D YOU GO WITH
THAT PAWN TICKET?

TO THE SUNSET PAWN SHOP.

WOULD YOU FORGET IT?

CLIFF IS OUT OF JAIL, AND
THAT'S ALL THAT COUNTS.

YOU FOUND SOMETHING.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

WE HAVE SECRETS FROM EACH OTHER.

SO WE HAVE SECRETS.

IF WE LOVE EACH OTHER ENOUGH,

THEN IT DOESN'T MATTER, DOES IT?

OH, I DO LOVE YOU.

BUT?

BUT WHAT?

I CAN'T COME BACK
TO SOUTHFORK, BOBBY.

NOT AFTER WHAT
J.R. DID TO CLIFF.

PAMELA, IT'S NOT J.R. ANYMORE.

CLIFF'S OUT OF
JAIL, IT CAN'T BE J.R.

IT'S JUST TOO SOON. I'M SORRY.

IT'S THE OLD BARNES AND
EWING FEUD AGAIN, ISN'T IT?

WELL, I LOVE YOU, PAMELA,
AND I WANT YOU BACK WITH ME.

BUT YOU GOTTA REMEMBER I WAS
A EWING WHEN YOU MARRIED ME,

AND I'LL BE A EWING TILL I DIE.

IF YOU THINK YOU CAN LIVE
WITH THAT, THEN YOU CALL ME.
