See you soon.(They both get out of the car and Bobby helps him to take the bags out and put them into one of the airport bagcarrier. Will tenderly looks at Bobby and he winks an eye at him.)Bobby: So, gotta rush now... (“Deep” begins to play again)“Sometimes I know Sometimes I go down deep Oh Beneath the deep blue sea Touching every breath All a slight off hand For everything you left Sometimes I know Sometimes I go down deep Oh Sometimes I give myself for you Sometimes I know down deep” (He gets on his van and drives off away from the airport lot...but puts the frake before Willard)Bobby: By the way, I love you too...(an overwhelmed Will smiles.

It´s a really urgent matter...(talking to the screen) Sue Ellen has assured me that you´re not only the leaders in your business but also reliable people, who she has been dealing with for a long time...Sue Ellen: Yes they are. Not for personal matters (she looks at Pam with complicity) but for my business matters. I beg you a complete discretion about this...Pam: My son Christopher is missing for seven months already. We haven´t heard from him since then and...Sue Ellen: Excuse me for interrupting you Pamela: some of you are fathers and mothers, and I do know you´ll easily put yourselves in her place. A 22-year young man, heir to a big fortune, suddenly disappears from home. Nobody knows where he is or why he left. Maybe an accident happened to him and couldn´t be identified...Pam: (standing up, overwhelmed) I am sorry...(she walks out of the room)Sue Ellen: Please wait five minutes and we will resume the meeting. (She follows Pam and holds her arm) I´m really sorry Pam, I didn´t wanna scare you, but we must be realistic and considerate every possibilities...Pam: I know. I do, but I cannot go on with this. I must do it on my own.Sue Ellen: Please Pamela...I got the feeling that Christopher is well and alive, and everything will have an explanation. Please keep quiet...Pam: Sorry but...just can´t...(she walks on through the corridor until the lift as an impotent Sue Ellen watches her).SC. 11a: EXT. – DALLAS STREETS(Bob is driving through a not too jammy Dallas area.

MORGUE(Bob and O´Hara get into the morgue along with one of the employees.)O´Hara: Go on Mr. Ewing...(Bob walks into the place with a somber look and follows the employee´s steps).Employee (methodically looking for the proper number): Gotcha.Bob: (sounding nervous) Wait...(he hesitates for a few seconds). All right, let´s see him. (The man pulls the corpse out and uncovers his face. Bob stops breathing for one tenth of second, and then opens his eyes: it is his son Christopher...Rough cut to the next scene)SC. 11c: INT: BOB EWING´S SPORTS-CAR(Bob wakes up all of a sudden: he was dreaming and the last two segments were a nightmare of his. He dries up his sweat and drives off homebound.

But it´s not a traffic ticket. The sheet reads: “Who would be so cruel to leave a baby motherless...? Just ask your husband” Cally tears the sheet into pieces but keeps it in her pocket. Then she gets back into the car and nervously drives off ...)SC. 13a: INT: DALLAS FASHION AREA BOUTIQUE(Madeleine chitchats with the boutique´s owner)Madeleine: I´m best friends with Giorgio´s for so many years, but since I´ve settled down here in Dallas, I´d love to open an account right here.Loulou: Oh, fantastic, Mrs...Madeleine: Farlow, Madeleine Farlow.Loulou: Address pleeease…Madeleine: The old Southfork Ranch in Braddock.Loulou: (candidly surprised) Oh...Madeleine: Is there any problem?Loulou: Oh not at all. On the contrary. The Ewings have always been very good clients...Madeleine: I am not a Ewing, I used to be married to late Clayton Farlow...Loulou: Oh yes, I read what happened, please accept my condolences...Madeleine: I hope my escort will be properly helped at the dressing room. That tuxedo must look absolutely perfect...Loulou: “Mais oui”, Madame Farlow…Madeleine: I like to be called “Madame” again, I didn´t hear that since we left Europe...SC. 13b: INT: BOUTIQUE´S DRESSING-ROOM(Julian is trying on a tuxedo at the dressing room of the same boutique, inside the shop. He draws the curtain and calls up one of the clerks)Julian: (seductively smiling) Hallo...I think I put it on properly, but would you please check it out...Abby: You can call me Abby...Julian: And I am Julian...Abby: All right Julian...Julian: I think it´s overpulling here (pointing at his left armpit. She gets close to him and re-places the tux).Abby: What about now?Julian: Better, so much better. But I´m afraid I have the same problem with the trousers...(Abby looks down and blushes up, as he closes the curtain and hold her closer to him...)SC. 13c: INT: SAME BOUTIQUE´S HIGHER FLOOR(Barbara Southworth is talking to a friend of hers who works there, to whom she has asked to arrange one of her last year´s a dress.)Barbara: Lori, thank you so much for the favor. It wasn´t an emergency but I´ll possibly move back at Houston definitively and I´d rather bring the dress to you...Lori: Are you sure you wanna leave Dallas?Barbara: Honey I have no real choice...My daughter´s divorced and moved to New York, and you know what´s happened to Southfork. The Ewings are my family but things aint´t goin´ too good with them...(Lori and Barbara walk downstairs as they keep talking. Suddenly they listen some gasping coming from the dressing room. Lori and Barbara look at each other and raise their eyebrows. As they go towards the exit, Barbara notices Madeleine and so she does)Madeleine: Oh darling! You´re the very last person I´d expect to see here...Loulou: “Mais oui”, Mrs. Baxter, I mean, Southworth, Ewing...er, Barbara, she´s one of our better clients...Madeleine: Well, you must mean that she “was”, because I don´t think she´s coming around very often lately...Barbara: Actually only when I have to, because I have a very complete wardrobe and Giorgio´s designing quality makes them good for most seasons...Lori: You´re so kind Barbara...Madeleine: I don´t see you´re carrying much darling (looking at her light bag). I must always go shopping with someone else ´cause I can´t stand getting home tired...Barbara: I really hope you´re feeling comfortable at Southfork, “darling”...Madeleine: Yes for now. But we are looking forward to get the manor re-arranged and put those cheap little houses down...Barbara: Ah, I think that your escort wanted you to check out the way his tuxedo fits in...over there, at the dressing-room...(Lori is astonished and Loulou keeps her permanent hallucinated look)Madeleine: (looking that way) Thank you for telling dear, I´ll go right now. (Getting closer to her) You must be feeling like a homeless these days, like what you really are, the family´s bastard. We are looking for maids for the manor... (winking an eye at her).Barbara: (still smiling and raising an eyebrow, she watches Madeleine walking towards the dressing-room. Barbara then says to the two other women: ) Well well my dear girls, must be leaving now. You will tell all about it (looking tongue-in-cheek at Lori)...And be careful, this woman is rumored to be the most wanted by all the “haute couture” boutiques in Europe...and the rest of the world too... (She happily walks out of the shop).SC. 13d: INT: BOUTIQUE´S DRESSING-ROOM(Madeleine walks into the room and draws the curtain of the only occupied one.)Madeleine: Julian, love...Are you there?Julian (off): Yep...Yeah, but we aren´t over yet! (Madeleine, wide eyes opened, draws the curtain off)SC. 14: EXT: PSYCHOLOGY FACULTY, UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON(Donna walks around the college campus, watching every blond young girl passing by or resting over the grass. She is looking for her daughter Maggie. Suddenly, under a tree, she notices her reading a book.)Donna: (openly smiling) Hey, Margaret Krebbs!Maggie: (looking leftside) Mum, what a surprise! (Maggie gets up and runs to her mother, embracing her tightly, and Donna holds her arm afterwards...)Donna: I am so happy to see you my baby daughter...Maggie: Me too mum...Donna: I guess they call you Margaret here, instead of Maggie...Maggie: Don´t think so mum, most people come from small towns and villages...and they don´t like protocol at all, especially boys...(her mother frowns her brow) You don´t have anything to worry about, I can handle them...SC. 15: INT. - UNDETERMINED PLACE(Close shot of a smiling Christopher)Chris: Magnificent. Extraordinary. Absolutely.Woman: (a 20-something-year-old blonde) Did you really like it?Chris: It´s the best chocolate cake you´ve ever done.

And do you have any clue of Christopher?Donna: Yes, daddy´s fine, and about Christopher, all is the same.Maggie: Oh mine, if you knew how guilty I´m feeling about that...Donna: Why babe?Maggie: Because I was the last person he talked to before to get missing...Donna: We´ll have news from him, I´m sure. I want to talk to you about something unrelated with this.Maggie: What is it?Donna: It´s about your Grandma Margaret Krebbs´ diaries...(Maggie gets quite surprised) I don´t wanna preach you, I´d done the same thing in your place. Jock and Margaret´s story was very beautiful and maybe they´d have married if they hadn´t been already engaged...I realized that you were reading those diaries when we were cleaning up the house, and moved them into the attic.Maggie: I hope I didn´t violate daddy´s or your intimacy...Donna: Please let me finish, it´s so hard to me to tell you this...You read the first diary belonging to 1945, which covers up to a little after your daddy was born, right?Maggie: Yes, right.Donna: What about the others?Maggie: I read the ones belonging to the next two years. But a couple of things surprised me: Grandma´s writing changed and, above all, her intense melancholy by then. She used to mentioning Ray as if he were near, but she was not allowed to touch him. Where did you get those two other diaries?Donna: A few years ago, your daddy asked your Aunt Val to do some searching for a book that was meant to follow the path of the different brands of the families Krebbs and Hunter...Maggie: Val is a great writer, especially when she touches true-life subjects...Donna: Well, then, resulting from that search, Val found some old diaries in late Aunt Lil´s Kansas house, but she only could save those two, from 46 and 47. She was talking with some neighbors and, eventually, one day, an old woman who happened to be Lil´s best friend told her that Margaret Krebbs miscarried the baby not long after her wedding to Amos. That baby boy, named Ray, was supposed to be your daddy, sweetheart.Maggie: But then, what happened then? Who was daddy´s mum? Donna: A 12-year-old neighbor who was stranded by her boyfriend. When Margaret lost her baby and the girl gave birth to his own, the latter began to show some sort of mental disturbance, and she had to be committed into a sanitarium two years later. At the beginning, she was allowed to visit the baby, but when she started to experience a violent behavior, those visits stopped. Lil and her friend helped Margaret out when Amos abandoned her too...Maggie: And does daddy know about all this? That he´s not a Ewing?Donna: No, only Val, you and I know, and I beg you, for God´s sake, to keep it secret. I don´t wanna have any secret for my darling babe, though you´re away from home now...I love you... (Donna and Maggie hold each other tightly and Donna begins to cry in silence)SC. 17a: EXT: SHEPARD MANOR SWIMMING-POOL(John Ross hangs up the cell phone and lays it on the table as James gets out of the pool)James: Who was that?John Ross: My tour operator.James: Goin´somewhere?James: We are goin´ to Switzerland. You and me...(James stares at him in a shock) Don´t ask me how I´ve known, but I´m absolutely sure that some sort of con is behind my father´s testament. It´s hard to me believe that, after so many waiting years, he only left me a letter from Grandpa. It´s not greed but logic: not too like him...I have an appointment with the banker who handled his bank account and also, a safety box where he kept the letter.James: You seemed very determined...but it´s strange that you don´t wanna go with your mum.John Ross: She would surely talk me out of it. I wanna do this on my own, and I hope you believe in me and come with me.James: All right, but I have to comment it with Cally...and I want you to do something in exchange.John Ross: Yeah, what?James: Proving me that you´re just ready to fly.John Ross: Sure I am...(Rough cut to the next scene)SC. 17b: INT/EXT: PLANE(James and John Ross are flying in a private plane to parachute over the Midlands)James: Ready, eh?John Ross: I-I...(James pushes him to the door and John Ross throws himself) I don´t knooow...!(James smiles and he jumps after him. The song “Don’t Let It Bring You Down” by Annie Lennox plays)“Old man lyin’ by the side of the road Where the lorries rollin’ by Blue moon sinkin’ from the weight of the load And the buildings scrape the sky Cold wind rippin’ on the valley at dawn And the morning paper flies Dead man lyin’ by the side of the road With the daylight in his eyes Don’t let it bring you down It’s only castle’s burning Find someone who’s turning And you will come around” (James and John Ross hold each other´s hands at the heights, before to start losing altitude…)SC. 18: EWING MANOR(Bob parks his black Mercedes in front of the Ewing Manor, formerly known as Wentworth. Then he walks to the entrance and Teresa opens the door and lets him in)Bob: Hi, Teresa.Teresa: Good evening, “señor”.Bob: Is Mrs. Ewing home?Teresa: Mrs. Ewing left.Bob: What are you saying?Teresa: She asked me to give you this letter, before goin´ away.Bob: (suddenly his face turns pale while he opens the envelope and unfolds the letter. Then he reads its content:Pam (off): "Dear Bobby: First of all, I want to apologize for what happened yesterday. After deep reflections, I´ve got to the conclusion that our son Christopher must be under a very tough situation, otherwise he would have contacted us already. I have decided to visit her Aunt Lisa Farraday´s in her California home, maybe she does know something we don´t. I know I should have told you this personally, but communication between us is getting harder and harder. I hope that spending these days apart will help us to overcome it, and things will be as they used to when I´m back. My love forever. Pamela"(“Don’t Let It Bring You Down” is re-played as we watch James and John Ross falling down in parachute. Fade out)End of Episode 14 “Old man lyin' by the side of the road Where the lorries rollin' by Blue moon sinkin' from the weight of the load And the buildings scrape the sky Cold wind rippin' on the valley at dawn And the morning paper flies Dead man lyin' by the side of the road With the daylight in his eyes Don't let it bring you down It's only castle's burning Find someone who's turning And you will come around Blind man runnin' through the light of the night With an answer in his hand Come on down to the river of sight And you can really understand Red lights flashin' through the window in the rain Can you hear the sirence moan White cane lyin' in a gutter in the lane And you're walkin' home alone Don't let it bring you down It's only castle's burning Find someone who's turning And you will come around You will come around” Next: ABOUT CHRISTOPHER Special Guest Stars:JESSICA LANGE as BARBARA (A Thousand Acres)JARED MARTIN as DUSTYDAVID BOREANAZ as JULIAN (Bones)andSUSAN SARANDON as MADELEINE (Alfie)Also StarringSCARLETT JOHANSSON as MAGGIE (Match Point)MIA KIRSHNER as SHANIA (The L Word)IntroducingELISHA CUTHBERT as Jane (24)  Special Appearance ByLARRY HAGMAN as J.R.
