Dallas (1978–1991): Season 8, Episode 12 - Do You Take This Woman? - full transcript

BOBBY:
There you go.

So we're really and truly engaged now.

Uh, for one week.
And then we're married.

I'm never gonna give up
control of Ewing Oil.

Whatever I have to do to keep that
from happening, you can bet I'm gonna do.

I heard you showed the Ewings a document
yesterday that had my daddy's name on it.

- Forget it.
- Well, I can make it worth your while.

It'll hold up in court.

Then, Harv, we have to find a way
to make sure she never gets there with it.

Come on, let's go.

What is it, Bob? What is it?



[MUSIC PLAYING
AND PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

SENATOR:
We had a real good time, J.R.

Oh, it was wonderful having you here
as usual, senator.

I sure hope Miss Stone
doesn't catch a cold, ha.

Her clothes were ruined
from that pool water.

Oh, she's a good sport, really.
I'll talk to her tomorrow on the phone...

...and we'll have a big laugh
about the whole thing, ha, ha, ha.

- Good having you.
WIFE: Bye.

- Here's your car, sir.
SENATOR: Thank you, boy.

Say, Jeremy.
I sure am glad you could come.

And, uh, don't you worry
about old Cliff Barnes.

It seems to me you have
more to worry about than I do.

Oh, in what way?

If that document that little girl has is valid,
he might become your partner.



Oh, don't you pay any attention to that.
I saw through it right away.

- It was just a little prank, that's all.
- Quite a prank.

You know, I don't know
what came over that poor girl.

I brought her into my home,
bought her a lot of nice clothes.

I even gave her a job at my office.
Then she embarrasses me like that.

Well, if you wanna go ahead
with that deal, you'd better hurry...

...because if by any chance
that document is for real...

...it might make it a little difficult
to do business with Ewing Oil.

Oh, don't you worry about that.

Thank you for a great time.

Glad you could come.

- J.R.
- Huh?

- Great party.
- Oh, good, glad you could come, ha, ha.

Hi. Where you all going?

I'm gonna take Charlie and Jenna home.

Do you mind
if one of the hands dropped you off?

- Why?
- After what happened...

...with that so-called
daughter of Jason's...

...I think it's time
this family had a little conference.

Maybe you should stay.
We can get home okay.

- You don't mind?
JENNA: No.

Excuse me.

- Yes, sir, Mr. Ewing?
- Could you run to the bunkhouse?

Get the boys to drive
Miss Wade and her daughter home?

MAN: Sure thing.
- Call me later?

BOBBY:
Sure.

JENNA: Bye.
CHARLIE: Bye, Bobby.

J.R.:
Bye. Bye-bye.

[BOBBY SIGHS]

Well, let's go have a meeting.

Okay, right back. And one more time.

There we go. Good catch.

And... Oh! Let's go get it.

I swear I don't know who's the child
and who's the adult.

I know. Cliff always has
so much fun with Christopher.

He loves him a lot.
Almost as much as he loves you.

[CLIFF TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

Maybe you don't really know
how important you are to him.

Well, I know how important
he's always been to me.

CLIFF:
One more time.

When we were growing up, we were...

...we were poor kids
on the wrong side of the tracks.

And Cliff was always my hero.

You know, he always found time
to take care of me, to watch out for me.

That's why he's so worried
about you now.

Worried about what?
My looking for Mark?

Do you know how frustrating it is
to feel that Mark is alive some place...

...and not be able to convince
anybody else?

Well, maybe
the exception of one person.

That psychic you told me about, Lydia.

You went to see her?

Well, I felt that
I didn't have much to lose.

I'm not sure that I believe
everything she had to say.

What? What did she say?

She said that Mark is alive
and that he will be back in my life.

She really told you that?

Well, not those exact words,
but I know that's what she meant.

Anyway, it just felt good
to talk to somebody about it...

...who didn't think I was crazy.

I wanna eat. I wanna eat, Mommy.

- Well, are you hungry?
- Yeah.

I'll take you in and get you washed up
and we'll all have a nice early dinner, okay?

- Okay.
- Come on.

I knew it. I knew that girl was trouble
the minute she walked through the gate.

But no, no, everybody said you gotta be
nice to the orphan because she's family.

If that's family,
she's not gonna be in this house.

J.R., calm down.

Calm down? After what she's done?

Trotting out that phony piece of paper
and having Clayton read it.

As far as I'm concerned,
she is out of this house now.

- Now, wait a minute.
- This is my house, J.R.

I will decide if she leaves and when.

Don't you think
we should talk to her first?

Well, how? She's got herself barricaded
in her bedroom upstairs.

She'll talk to me.

Well, good, maybe you'll find out
what she's trying to pull.

How do you know
she's trying to pull anything?

How do you know that paper is phony?

How come we haven't seen
or heard about it before?

You went through Daddy's papers.

Did you see anything
vaguely resembling that?

I didn't see anything
that mentioned Jason's name.

Mama, did Daddy ever talk
about dividing the company up like that?

No, I admit he never did.

And I never saw
a document like that either.

Clayton, you said that Sam Culver
drew up that document.

Donna, when you were going through
Sam's diaries and records...

...did you see anything?

Not that I remember. But then
I wasn't looking for anything like that.

I mean, it could have been there,
I just didn't see it.

- Do you still have the papers?
- I know where they are.

It'll take me time to go through them.

Well, we better do something,
and damn quick.

Can you imagine sharing
Daddy's company with Cliff Barnes?

[KNOCKING]

SUE ELLEN:
Jamie, it's me.

Jamie?

JAMIE:
Yeah, just a second.

You still talking to me?

Of course I am.

I saw everybody come in downstairs.

Must be quite a big discussion
going on down there.

It is. You gave everyone quite a shock.

I didn't mean to.

It's just that J.R. got to me, telling me
that I wasn't a Ewing, that I didn't belong.

I just wanted to prove to him
that I was just as much a Ewing as he was.

Jamie, it you had the picture
and document all this time...

...why did you wait so long
to show them?

I don't see what the big deal is.

Everybody acts like
they'd never seen it before.

Surely Uncle Jock must've had
the same piece of paper that my daddy had.

If he did,
no one in the family ever knew about it.

Jamie, you can just imagine
the implications.

You know how J.R. feels
about Cliff Barnes.

Yeah, I know.

And I should never
have done what I did.

I don't wanna hurt anybody.

I mean.
the Ewings are the only family I have.

I never meant for anybody to see it.

And I'd never wanna use it
against my own family.

You really mean that, don't you?

Sure I do.

Maybe it'd be best for everybody
if I packed up my bags...

...and moved on out of here.

No, Jamie, that's not the answer.

Everyone's a little upset right now,
but no one wants you to leave.

And what about J.R.?

Ewing Oil is very special to him...

...but he'll calm down by tomorrow.
I'll see to it.

Well, you know him
a lot better than I do.

But somehow, I don't think
J.R. will ever forgive me for what I did.

Just so it doesn't go any further,
he'll be just fine.

And so will you.

One way or another,
we're all going to be a happy family.

I hope so.

So you really grew up in all this, huh?

I told you I did.

Well, I guess, if, uh.
you have money all your life...

...it gets easy to, uh.
take this for granted.

Is that what you want? To be rich?

You think that's the answer
to everything?

Well, that's the answer to being poor.

Ah, no, I'm serious.

Why do you think
I got the job at that crummy diner?

- Oh, to meet the man of your dreams.
- Ha, ha, ha.

That's very funny,
but it's also not the reason.

I just wanted to be me, Lucy Cooper,
instead of the rich Miss Ewing. Uh...

Just a waitress.
I wasn't very good, but--

And that--
That fulfilled your lifelong dream...

...to, uh, be a working slob
like the rest of us, huh?

No, I just wanted to be me,
like you're you.

Oh, what do you think is so terrific
about being a nobody?

I don't think you're a nobody.
I think you're wonderful.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

Well, would you like
to do something about it?

What are you talking about?

You, me and all that nice fresh straw
right there.

[SIGHS]

Are you kidding? There's a thousand people
wandering around out there.

Lucy, I haven't seen anybody
in 10 minutes.

- They're all busy up at the house.
- Eddie.

They're all drinking and dancing.

Nobody will ever know.

[HORSE NEIGHING]

- You have your hat?
- Yeah, I got it.

- Thank you, Phil.
- Anytime.

Jenna, Charlotte.

CHARLIE: Hi.
- Hello.

JENNA:
What are you doing here?

I came to see you and Charlotte.

I'm glad you returned before I left.

We were at the Ewing barbecue.
It was real neat.

Well, I brought you something
that perhaps you will also find is neat.

What? What is it?

NALDO:
This.

That's really for me?

Yes. It is a gift from my mother,
your grandmother, for you.

It has been in our family for many years.

CHARLIE:
It's beautiful.

Yes. Your grandmother is very sad...

...that she has never met
her only granddaughter.

She wanted you to have this.

Naldo.

- Perhaps you will meet her someday.
- Does she live in Italy?

What does she look like? Is she old?

Yes, quite old.

And her only wish before it is too late
is to meet you, Charlotte.

- I would like to take you there.
CHARLIE: That'd be great.

Could we, Mama?

Just think, I have this whole family
I've never even met.

Honey, why don't you go inside
and put the cameo on? Hm?

Okay.

Thank you again. It's beautiful.

What are you trying to do?

I don't want you filling her head
with all that nonsense.

You're not taking her anywhere.

You think I'd take a chance
letting her leave the country with you?

Jenna, she is my daughter.

And my mother wanted her
to have the cameo.

[SIGHS]

If I dream a little of her meeting my family,
do you not understand?

I'm marrying Bobby.

The Ewings are going to be
the only family that Charlie needs.

Yes, Bobby and the Ewings.

Another reason I came to see you.

I said foolish things about
winning you back before, no.

No, new I see it is not possible.

You love Bobby, not me.

I have to accept that.

Yes, I do love Bobby,
and we are getting married.

And it you can accept that
and wish us the best, Naldo...

...it would make me very happy.

I do, truly.

I only hope that, uh, after you are married
and if I remain here...

...perhaps that sometimes
you will let me see my daughter.

Look. I love it.

[LAUGHS]

It's beautiful, honey. It's really beautiful.

You still awake?

JENNA [ON PHONE]: Just having some tea.
How are things out there?

Well, it got pretty tense for a while.

You know what that paper of Jamie's
could mean?

I think so.
Can we still afford to get married?

Just barely.
You made it home all right, huh?

BOBBY [ON PHONE]:
Jenna?

Uh, I'm sorry, um...

Everything's fine. Charlie's sound asleep.

- Let's have lunch tomorrow.
4 can't-

I have a final fitting.

- How about tomorrow night?
- Fine.

You pick the restaurant.

No, let's stay in. NI fix something.

We'll have a nice quiet evening together.

All right. I'll call you tomorrow.

- Good night-
- Good night.

J.R.: And you really believe
what that girl said?

I told you that.

She doesn't intend
to use that paper against me?

Right. If you hadn't
gotten her so upset this afternoon...

...carrying on with Marilee Stone,
she'd never have shown it.

I was not carrying on.
That was a business conversation.

Jamie was out of line
pushing her in the pool like that.

Jamie was simply looking after
my interest.

Oh, the hell you say, she was looking
for the right time to spring it on me.

And she found it.
Half of Dallas knows about it by now.

I thought you said
you didn't think the paper was real.

I don't, not for a minute.

Well, then, darling.
don't you think you're overreacting a bit?

Overreacting? You really
don't understand, do you?

All right, uh, suppose I'm wrong,
suppose the paper's real.

What it means, darling.
Is that I lose control of Ewing Oil.

It'll be split up three ways.

Bobby and I'll have a third,
Jamie will have a third.

And because that lush
Digger Barnes' name was on the paper...

...Cliff Barnes will have
a third of my company.

And don't forget, what I lose, you lose.
Not to mention our son's legacy.

But she said she'd never use the paper.

Until she gets upset with me again.
It's like having a loaded gun at my head.

I'll tell you one thing...

...and you can pass this on
to little Jamie Ewing if you want to.

I'm never gonna give up
control of Ewing Oil.

And whatever I have to do
to keep that from happening...

...you can bet I'm gonna do.

Are you all right, Mama?

Sure, why?

You were awful quiet this morning.

And driving me here
instead of letting me take the bus.

Have I done something wrong?

No, of course not.

You're your usual perfect self.

That's me. See you tonight.

Charlie.

Uh, don't take the bus home tonight.
I wanna pick you up.

Why?

I don't know.
I just wanna spend some time with you.

Maybe we can go, uh, shopping, huh?

- Great. See you.
- Okay.

[INTERCOM BUZZING]

PAMELA: Yes, Jackie?
JACKIE [ON INTERCOM]: Mr. Phipps is here.

Oh, good. Show him in.

- Mr. Phipps.
- Mrs. Ewing.

- May I bring you anything?
- Uh, no, thank you.

- Thank you, Jackie.
- Okay.

Please sit down.

You were rather vague on the phone,
Mrs. Ewing.

I'm not sure what it is
you require from my agency.

Have you ever seen this man before?

Yes. It is or rather was
Mark Graison of Graisco Industries.

He died in a plane crash
several months ago.

- Perhaps not.
- I beg your pardon?

I have reason to believe
that Mark may still be alive.

And if he is, I want you to find him.

May I ask
what makes you believe he's alive?

Well, at the time of the plane crash...

...Mark was suffering from
a rare blood disease, a form of leukemia.

He didn't want to be a burden to the people
around him, so I think he staged the crash...

...that he's off some place seeking a cure.

That's quite a supposition.

Mr. Phipps, I want to use your agency...

...because I was told
that it's the very best there is.

I believe that's true.

Well, I'm only interested in results,
not your opinion of why I'm doing this.

Yes, ma'am.

These are private clinics
and sanitariums...

...that specialize in last-chance cures.

None of them offer
what you would call orthodox treatment.

But I want you to investigate all of them.

These are scattered all over the world.

It'll be very expensive
and time-consuming to check them out.

I have the money.
Put on as many men as you think you need.

Do whatever is necessary.
I want Mark found.

If he is atone of these clinics,
chances are he's under a different name.

Well, I assumed that.
Otherwise, I would have called myself.

I'll have copies of this picture
distributed overseas.

All right, thank you.
And I'll expect regular reports.

Yes, ma'am. But, uh, Mrs. Ewing--

Mr. Phipps, please don't tell me
not to get my hopes up.

I'll be in touch.

Thank you.

[SIGHS]

I talked to Bill Bates over at the First Bank.
They're good for 50 million.

That ought to get us
about a third of the way...

...it we take all the land
that Westar is offering.

Look at these leases. They're prime.
Might take us 15, 20,000 feet.

Yeah. You talked to Franklin Home!
at Cattleman's Bank?

Yeah, I have a call in to him.

The sooner we get this done,
the better, Bob.

A lot of talk going around
about what happened at the barbecue.

I think we're looking
at one or two weeks, maybe.

Oh, yeah?
Well, I don't want anything to go wrong.

If we can buy these from Westar,
it'll give us the fields we need...

...to replace the old one, that's for sure.

Now, let's see.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

BOBBY:
Yeah?

Excuse me, I just wanted
to let you know I'm going to lunch.

Uh, don't bother us with that.
Tell the other secretaries.

J.R., I know that you're upset with me.

Oh, really?
Where'd you ever get an idea like that?

I want you to know I'm sorry
about what happened at the barbecue.

In that case, why don't you tear up
that agreement you said my daddy made...

...and we'll forget about
the whole thing?

BOBBY:
Jamie, just go to lunch. We're busy.

Thank you.

J.R., you're not gonna get anyplace
antagonizing her.

You can sweet-talk her
as much as you want to.

As far as I'm concerned,
she's on borrowed time.

[INTERCOM BUZZING]

I've got it. Yeah?

KENDALL [ON INTERCOM]: Franklin Homer
from Cattleman's Bank for you, Bobby.

Franklin, hi.

Listen, we got a little deal
we'd like to throw your way.

Hi, I'm Cliff Barnes.
We son of met at the Oil Baron's Ball.

- So?
- Well, I'd like to talk to you for a minute.

I don't think we have
anything to talk about.

I heard you showed the Ewings a document
yesterday that had my daddy's name on it.

So?

Well, from what I understand,
it would entitle me to a third of Ewing Oil.

So naturally, I'd like to see it.

Forget it.

Well, I could make it worth your while.

Lookit, whatever happened
at the barbecue...

...I'm still a Ewing,
and my daddy was Jock's brother...

...and he didn't like Digger Barnes
any better than Jock did.

Well, I still have a right to see it.

Hm, then you better practice
your bank robbing...

...because this morning on the way to work,
I put it in a safe-deposit box.

And nobody's gonna see it,
not you, not J.R...

...not anybody, unless I want them to.

[KNOCKING]

- Hi.
- Hi.

- What is this?
- Hm?

Some new style of no-hands kissing?

No. I'm hiding something.

What?

Something you should have had
but don't.

Well, you told me I had everything.

Everything but this.

Oh, Bobby.

They promised me that one size fits all...

...so let's see.

There you go.

Do you joke about everything?

That's so you won't find out
how sentimental I really am.

So we're really and truly engaged now.

For one week.
And then we're married.

I love you.

CHARLIE:
Bobby, look.

Don't you think my dress is beautiful?
It's what I'm wearing to the wedding.

You're right, it is beautiful and so are you.
But how about my kiss?

You've got it.

Oh, and that, that is gorgeous.

- Was that your mother's?
CHARLIE: No.

My father gave it to me yesterday.

Charlie, yesterday was the barbecue.

I know.
but he was here when we got home.

It's from his family in Italy.

Charlie, go tum off the vegetables. Huh?

Okay.

So Naldo was here?

He brought that to her.

- You didn't mention that last night.
- It wasn't worth mentioning.

You don't think I'm interested when
your ex-husband just happens to drop by?

Look, nothing happened
and I didn't wanna upset you.

What upsets me
is your keeping it from me.

I don't know why he's hanging around,
but I don't trust him.

He came to see Charlie.

He's seeing too much of Charlie
and he's seeing too much of you too.

I put up with your seeing Pam.
The difference?

I only see Pam
when I'm gonna pick up Christopher.

- You know when that happens.
- I also know you were in love with her.

More than you say you were with Naldo.
Why do you let him come here?

- I don't like what you're saying.
- Well, I don't like what I'm feeling.

Then why don't you take your feelings
and go somewhere else?

I think I'll do that.

Mama?

I really don't wanna talk to you right now.
You go on upstairs.

And don't mention Name's name again.

But he's my father.

Only biologically.

Bobby is more of a father
than he's ever been to you.

He's the one who loves you
and we've hurt him very badly.

I'm sorry.

Oh, Charlie.

Honey, it's not your fault.

Not at all, Franklin, not at all.

Yeah, I really appreciate
your acting so quickly on this.

Yeah, well, I'm glad you agree with us.

Bobby and I will be at the bank
a little before noon to sign those papers.

All right, bud. See you then.

Ha, ha, bye.

Charlie and I stayed up all night last night
and cried.

Well, I didn't sleep much myself.

We let it get out of hand, Bobby.

Whatever Naldo wants...

...he's liable to break us up
without really doing anything.

I don't want that to happen.

Neither do I.

Look, I overreacted and I was wrong.

Maybe the best way to handle Naldo
is to just ignore him, huh?

That's fine with me.

I was afraid maybe you were
gonna ask for your ring back.

You kidding? You know how many boxes
of Cracker Jacks I had to eat to get this?

Oh, no, no. No, but I'll tell you one thing.

You look around this ranch real good...

...because one week from today,
it's gonna be decorated...

...for the darnedest wedding
you have ever seen.

I've waited all my life for that.

Hey, Bob. I've got some good news.

JENNA:
So do we, JR.

So do we.

J.R.: That's a lovely dress you've got on.
MANDY: Thank you.

- Is that one of the kind you model?
- Yeah.

- They let you buy them?
- Sometimes.

Really? Ha, ha, ha.

- Here we go.
- Thank you.

Bourbon and branch.

- And a virgin daiquiri.
- Thank you.

You know, uh, I was really surprised
when you called me.

It'd been a week
since I heard from you.

I didn't know if you'd lost interest
or you were just playing hard to get.

You said you didn't like men
who fell all over you. Ha, ha, ha.

I really have been quite busy
at the office.

I closed that big deal with Westar
I told you about.

- Well, congratulations.
- Thank you.

After all the talk around Dallas...

...I thought maybe you'd gone into hiding
after what happened at your barbecue.

Oh, how'd you know about
what happened out there?

Well, not because you invited me.

But I do work
in the better restaurants in town.

And that's all
everybody was talking about.

Oh? What's everybody saying?

That maybe the Ewings
don't own all of Ewing Oil...

...and there was someone you hated
you might have to share it with.

Oh, well, the person
they're talking about...

...is one of the biggest losers
in the history of mankind.

I've whipped his tail every time
our paths have crossed.

Isn't that the one
that hit that big strike down in the Gulf?

Ha, ha, ha. Well, one lucky strike
does not an oilman make.

Cliff Barnes will never see the day
when he can walk into Ewing Oil...

...as a partner, I guarantee you.

- That's not what I heard.
- Yeah.

Despite what you heard, the piece of paper
that little girl has is a forgery.

And I just hope that Cliff Barnes
is dumb enough to believe all that gossip.

Why?

Because with his tunnel vision...

...he's gonna do everything he can
to prove that that paper is real.

In the meantime, I'm gonna
be destroying Barnes-Wentwonh.

I've done it before
and I can sure do it again.

Why are we wasting a lovely afternoon
talking about that loser? He's not worth it.

Somehow I feel kind of sorry for him.

Really? Why?

You know, with someone like you after him,
he's gonna need all the help he can get.

He always has. Always has.

[INTERCOM BUZZING]

Yes, Jackie?

JACKIE [ON INTERCOM]: Mr. Phipps
is returning your call on line one.

Thank you.

Mr. Phipps.

Hello, Mrs. Ewing.
What can I do for you?

Tell me why I haven't heard
anything from you about Mark Graison.

Oh, Mrs. Ewing, it's only been a week.

We're checking clinics
all over the world...

...looking for someone
using an assumed name.

Mr. Phipps, I'm paying you
for results, not excuses.

These are not excuses. It takes time.

MR. PHIPPS [ON PHONE]: We're not sure
that Mr. Graisan is at any of the clinics...

man the fist you've given me.

Now, if you want results,
you'll just have to be patient.

Unless, of course, you'd rather work
with some other agency. That's up to you.

No, I'm sure you're doing your very best.
Just keep in touch with me, all right?

I will. Goodbye, Mrs. Ewing.

Goodbye.

Hi. How you doing?

- Just getting in?
- No, I've been here for a couple of hours.

[SIGHS]

I've been thinking about Aunt Maggie.

- You have?
- Mm-hm.

How's she doing? Do you know?
Have you heard from her?

I got a letter from her
a couple of weeks ago. She's fine.

Still living down in Marshall?

Mm-hm.

Well, I might drive down to see her.

Why this sudden interest in Aunt Maggie?
You haven't mentioned her in over a year.

Well, she had a lot of Digger's papers
and records.

Uh-huh.

Does this have anything to do with
what happened at the Ewing barbecue?

I hear that paper
had Digger's name on it.

Which would mean that he's entitled
to a third of Ewing Oil, so now I am.

If that document were legal, why hadn't
we heard anything about it before?

Maybe Jason Ewing's
the only one that had a copy.

But if Digger had a copy,
I have a heck 01a case.

That's why you're going
to see Aunt Maggie?

- Wanna go with me?
- No.

I don't want anything
to do with this at all.

Okay, well, I'm gonna call her tonight
and I'll let you know how it turns out.

What's going on, ladies?

Hello. Mr. Smithfield is waiting
in your office.

- Is Bobby with him?
- No, sir, he didn't come in today.

I guess he's getting ready
for the big wedding tomorrow.

Mmm, it figures.

Hello, Harv.
Sorry I'm late, I got tied up at lunch.

That's quite all right, J.R.

- How are you?
- Good.

I have the contracts
and the sales agreements...

...between Ewing and Westar
for the properties.

- Everything all right?
- Yes, fine. They now belong to Ewing Oil.

Good. To tell you the truth, I got more
important things on my mind right now.

Yeah, I know.

The document
splitting Ewing Oil into thirds.

That's right.
Did you come up with anything?

No. I've had my staff research...

...all of the Jock Ewing and Ewing Oil
documents we've ever worked on.

Not a mention of it. Not even close.

Of course, if Sam Culver
really drew up that document...

...I'm not surprised
we don't have a record.

Well, where do we go from here?

Well, I'm trying to contact Agnes Burch.
She's Sam's old law secretary.

Now, she may, just may.
have some of his old files.

Of course, when he died,
most of his papers went to his law partners.

We're trying to track them down as well.

J.R., any chance
I could get a look at that document?

[SIGHS]

I don't think so.

Sue Ellen says that Jamie's got it
locked up in a safety-deposit box.

Now, Harv, don't get me wrong,
I don't think the girl's got anything.

But what are the chances
that, uh, that document is real?

Well, uh, if Sam Culver
really drew up that document...

He was a fine lawyer.

Chances are, if it's not a forgery,
it'll hold up in court.

Then, Harv, we're gonna have to find a way
to make sure she never gets there with it.

I still can't believe it.

That everything's gonna be ready
by tomorrow?

No, dummy.

That tomorrow night, I'll finally be living
at Southlork as Mrs. Bobby Ewing.

Oh, that, yeah.
Have you and Charlie decided...

...on how you're gonna decorate
her room at the house?

No, not yet, but we will. And I think
she should finish the year at her school.

That's no problem.
We can take her to school and pick her up.

- Yeah.
- Why didn't she come with you today?

She had a big test at school,
then she's gonna spend the night...

...at her best friend's
and stay up talking girl talk, no doubt.

Oh, no doubt. I would've thought that
the two of you would be doing that though.

I'm gonna be too nervous to talk
to anyone, even Charlie.

Besides, by the time we get back
from dinner with the family...

...it's gonna be too late
to do anything but go to bed.

Well, honey.
why don't you spend the night here?

Oh, I couldn't.

- No, no, no, I mean in a guest room.
- Mm-hm.

I'd just feel a lot better
having you here at the house tonight.

Oh, I thought it was bad luck
to see each other before the wedding.

- Um, only with the wedding dress on.
- Oh...

But if it makes you feel better,
I'll hide in my room until you're gone.

Do you promise?
I don't wanna take any chances.

Oh, I promise, I promise.

- Oh, yes.
- Oh, I promise.

NALDO:
Hello, Charlotte.

Hi. How come you're here?

Are you not happy to see me?

Sure I am.

Martha, this is my father,
Naldo Marchetta.

Hi, Mr. Marchetta.

It is very nice to meet you, Martha.

Well, how come you're here?

Your mother asked me to pick you up.

Are you sure?

I was supposed to spend the night
with Martha.

Ah, yes, yes, Jenna told me...

...but she said
that we could have dinner together.

I have pictures to show you
of your family in Italy...

...the home where I live.

- You would like that, wouldn't you?
- That'd be neat.

- Would you mind, Martha?
- I guess not.

And after dinner,
I will take you home to your mother.

Okay with me.

Martha, you can tell your mother that
Charlie is with her father and not to worry.

Okay, Mr. Marchetta.
See you Monday, Charlie.

See you Monday.

Should I go home and change for dinner?

If you want.
Or we can just go and get a pizza, huh?

You know, somebody told me
they don't have pizza in Italy.

Oh, no, that is not true.

And one day.
I will take you there and show you.

Will you really take me there?

Yes, I really will.

Ah!

- Hi.
- What are you doing?

I'm just going through this box
of things that Digger had.

- See if I can come up with anything.
- And?

I haven't found anything
except a bunch of letters, pictures.

- Is that you?
- Yeah.

I was about 6.

Oh, you were kind of cute.
Is that your mother?

Uh, no, that was my Aunt Maggie.
She's the one that raised Pam and me.

She lives in Marshall. I'm thinking about
going there tomorrow. You wanna go?

Why not?

You don't seem too interested
in how my lunch with J.R. went.

Oh, yeah. How did that go?

He's kind of a fun date.

You sure you still want me
to keep seeing him?

Heh, heh, you told me
that I could trust you with him.

You can.

Besides, I think he's more interested
in you right now than he is in me.

I bet he is. I bet the idea of splitting up
Ewing Oil is keeping him awake at night.

I don't know how much
of what he says to believe.

But he claims that document's a forgery.

Oh, yeah, what else is he gonna say?

For one thing.
he thinks it's a chance to trap you.

To trap me?
Hey, I've got everything to gain.

Especially if I can prove
that that document's real.

Well, if I could find a copy
that Digger might have had.

So that's what the trip
to your aunt's all about?

Yeah. There's nothing wrong with that.

Except that's exactly
what J.R. said you'd do.

What? Go see my Aunt Maggie?

Ha, no, of course not.

But he did say, it you started thinking
about getting control of Ewing Oil...

...then that's all you'd think about.

It'd be a perfect chance for him
to make a move on your company.

He's whistling in the dark,
because he can't touch me.

And that's what driving him crazy.

I don't think so.
I think he's very dangerous.

He didn't seem at all worried
about losing Ewing Oil.

In fact, he said he was
just closing a big deal with Westar.

That's fine. The bigger Ewing Oil is,
the more profit I'll take when I move in.

I'll put this box away
and then we'll go get something to eat.

Cliff, don't lose sight
of everything else because of this.

No, of course not.
No, I've still got Barnes-Wentwonh to run.

But just think how sweet it will be
to finally get what's coming to me.

[LAUGHING
AND CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

- Good night, everyone.
JENNA: Good night, Miss Ellie, Clayton.

You better get to bed early.
Got a big day tomorrow.

J.R., it's too late to get to bed early.

Besides that, I don't think I could sleep.

[LAUGHS]

Just think, it wasn't long ago...

...you were best man
when J.R. and I got married.

- Tomorrow, he's gonna stand up for you.
- That's gonna be my pleasure.

You know how happy I am
that you two are getting married.

Ha, ha, thank you, J.H.
It's taken me along time to come 5 miles.

Five miles?

That's how far it was
from Lucas Wade's ranch to here.

Oh...

- Well, good night. See you tomorrow.
- Good night, Jenna, Bobby.

BOTH:
Good night.

We still haven't decided on where
we're gonna spend our honeymoon.

Well, I've done all the traveling I want.

Um, Southfork would be fine with me.

I think I can get us a reservation.

I might be able to line up
a nice little room at the end of the hall.

Oh, try.

- I think I'll be leaving at 8 in the morning.
- Okay. I'll see you at noon.

You're gonna make a beautiful bride.

I hope so.

I want you to be
very proud of me tomorrow.

Hm, guaranteed.

Good night.

Good night.

- Cliff, just calm down.
- I'm calm. It's just this thing.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

- Mr. Barnes.
- Where is my sister?

She's out back with Christopher.

ANGELA:
Mrs. Ewing.

CLIFF:
Pam.

Have you taken leave of your senses?

- Don't start on me.
- Start on you? What are you talking about?

I opened this paper,
I couldn't believe my eyes.

- Have you seen this?
- Yes.

You actually put an ad in the paper
asking for information about Mark?

I don't have to answer to you for this.

Oh, my, do you know what that's gonna do
to our switchboard on Monday?

I am gonna have to put extra people on...

...to take the messages
from crackpots that answer this.

Well, if somebody knows something,
it will have been worth it.

Now, who in the hell
is gonna know anything?

Mark is dead. You have to face that.

Cliff, why did you have to do that to her
today of all days?

Can't you see how upset she is?

Well, what's she got to be upset about?

I'm the one
that has to put the extra help on.

Bobby's getting married today.

Oh...

Why didn't you remind me of that
in the car, huh?

Watch Christopher. I've gotta go in there
and try to make up to her.

Sure. Why don't you see if she wants
to drive with us down to your aunt's?

No, she's not gonna wanna do that.

I don't know. I'll give that a try.

Charlie!

Charlie, you home yet?

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

MARTHA [ON PHONE]: Hello?
- Manha, this is Jenna Wade.

- Can I speak with Charlie, please?
- She's not here.

Oh, is your mom bringing her home?

No. She didn't spend the night here.

What"? What do you mean?

Her father came to school
and picked her up.

He said you said it was all right.

Her father? What did he look like?

0h, he was really nice.
And he had this neat accent.

Oh, my God.

Oh! Where is she?
What have you done with Charlie?

Nothing. Our daughter is quite safe.

You have nothing to worry about.

[PANTING]

[VIOLINS PLAYING]

Now, this is very strange.
Where can Jenna be?

Bobby called her condo
but, uh, he had no answer.

Oh, she must be on her way.

The wedding is supposed to begin
in 10 minutes.

Don't worry. I'm sure she'll be here.

Well, I don't know
where the hell she could be.

Well, you know women.
They're always late.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

Hello? Wha--?

Come on. Let's go.

What is it, Bob? What is it?

Give Aunt Maggie my love.

You sure you don't wanna come with us?

Will you be okay?

Sure, I'll be fine.

I'll, um...

I'm gonna take Christopher
for a soda or something.

Call me when you get back.

Will do.

Jenna! Charlie!

Jenna!

Jenna!

Jenna!

- Bobby.
- She's gone.

She left this. I better read it to you.

“Bobby, I'm sorry. I know
you can't understand why I'm doing this...

...but I hope somehow
you can forgive me.

I can't many you.

As much as I love you,
I love someone else more...

...and I'm doing what I must.“

Signed, Jenna.

[SIGHS]

My God, she's run out on you again.

If I ever find Naldo Marchetta,
I'll kill him.
