We can stop whenever you want to.Pam: Thanks, not by now. (Pam looks through the windows) Do you know where the San Francisco Marathon is being ran this year?Chauffeur: Well, I guess it should start at the Ferry Building, as usual. Are gonna run in it?Pam (smiling and shaking his head): Oh no. I wanna meet some people who will be participating in it.Chauffeur: I can leave you there, if you wanna...I know the town very well.Pam: That would be great.Chauffeur: Are you gonna meet your husband?Pam: No, just some friends (she looks away again)...My husband stayed home...Chauffeur: (looking surprised...) Well, count on me in whatever you need...Pam: Thank you...Chauffeur: My name is Robert, but my friends call...Pam: (sadly smiling) ...Bobby? (she laughs then. The camera pans away and we see a panoramic of the car driving through the highway.)SC.14a INT. –RENOIR HOTEL CORRIDORS IN SAN FRANCISCO(General shot of the floor corridors, as Bobby searches for the room no. 12202 holding a bunch of red and white roses in his hand. When he finds it, he stands up there looking at the door...At last, he roughly knocks on the door twice. The door is opened by a dark-haired naked young man in his 30´s, covering his parts with a towel)Guy: Yeah? I believed that we had hung the “do no disturb” note. (Bobby looks down and sees the note on the floor. He blushes up and says, babbling)Bobby: It had fallen down...er...take...(the guy reaches his hand to him and Bobby gets more and more nervous).Guy: What are you bringing?Bobby: It´s from the hotel management, wishing you a happy time here.(He gives him the bunch of flowers very anxiously)Guy: Wow that´s a surprise...! (he turns back to the inside) Hey, Will, look what the hotel guys have brought to us! (Will gets out of the bed-room, all-dressed. The song “Deep” begins to play)“Sometimes I go down deep Oh” Will: They are so beautiful...From the hotel, you say?Guy: Aha.Will: Well, there is no card with it. Who has brought them?Guy: A blonde boy, a twinkie, under 18 I´d guess...Will: (thoughtful) I see...SC.14b EXT. – RENOIR HOTEL SURROUNDINGS(Bobby runs out to the street in a hush and turns over the corner, and stops to take a breath, with tears in his eyes. The song is continued...)“Sometimes I give myself for you Sometimes I know down deep” SC.15 INT. – NEW OIL BARONS CLUB, IN DALLAS(Establishing shot and general shot of Bob walking into the Club hall and meeting the new manager Debbie, formerly one of its hostesses)Bob: Hi Debbie. How are you?Debbie: Good afternoon, Mr. Ewing. I´m fine thank you, and you?Bob: O.k. Did Dora Mae come here today?Debbie: No, though I guess she will come by later, like every night.Bob: Tell her that Bobby Ewing has asked about here, will you?Debbie: (smiling) Course Mr. Ewing. Would you like a table for lunch?Bob: Well...(he holds up his arm and unwillingly hits a woman passing by, whose handbag falls down) Oh mine, I´m such a clumsy old man...Woman: My God, Bobby Ewing!Bob: (recognizing his former secretary)...Phyllis, I´m so glad to see ye, though I´m sorry to throw your handbag away...(Bob stands up and gives it to her very kindly) Were you leaving?Phyllis: In fact I was. But we hadn´t seen each other for such a long time that I wouldn´t mind to stay a bit longer...Bob: All right. Debbie, one table for two, please.Debbie: Right now Mr. Ewing. (Bob and Phyllis smile at each other and Bob makes the gesture to let her walk on first)SC.16 EXT. – STARTING POINT OF THE SAN FRANCISCO MARATHON(Pam talks to the chauffeur, once she is out of the car)Pam: Robert, I don´t know if I should be waiting here. Actually I don´t know how longer it can take me to find my friends.Robert: Don´t worry m´am. You go ask the organizers...Pam: Thank you...(smiling at him. Fade over the next scene. Middle shot of Pam in front of a computer, side by side with one of the Marathon guides)Guide: Mrs. Ewing, just write down here your girlfriend´s name and you´ll know if they checked in it and are here already.Pam: That´s really kind of you. (Pam writes the name of Lisa Poynton, and she finds the information she was looking for: she was checked in, along with her husband and her two kids. Besides, upon the program, she is ready to run and should already be around there)Woman: We meet at last, Pamela Ewing...Pam (standing up and turning around): Lisa?Lisa: Yes I am. Was expecting you. I knew that, right after a Ewing, soon comes another Ewing, or a Barnes...(half-smiling. Fade out and End of Act Three)SC.17 EXT. – BAR NEXT TO THE MARATHON STARTING POINT(Close shot of Lisa)Lisa: Yes it´s true. Christopher called on us last year after tracking down thru the net and contact with us by phone. I was stunned at first: I thought that the Ewings would never allow me to see my only living family again...Pam: He is your brother Jeff´s son, isn´t he?Lisa: Aha. I don´t know how much you know of what happened in 1987...J.R. Ewing locating me and bringing me to Dallas to become friends with the child. By then, J.R. and your husband didn´t have a good business relationship. Upon Cliff Barnes, J.R. wanted to use the Wentworth company money to acquire a big sum of stock from the WestStar, which had stolen Ewing Oil away from him some months earlier.Pam: So my son played a pawn in my brother-in-law J.R.´s endless blackmailing schemes.Lisa: I think so. He thought that, if I demanded the boy´s custody and took him to court, Bobby would end up giving up to his planning...Pam (saddened): Anything in hand to get his own way, like he always did...Lisa: But you didn´t come here to hear this story...Pam: No...We haven´t heard from Chris for the last seven months. Not long after returning to California, he just vanished without goodbyes and not even the policecould help us...We are hopeless, he might have had an accident, or been kidnapped, or...Lisa: I know the way you feel very well. I have two sons, Jeff and Chris (smiling with complicity). I don´t know what I´d do if something happened to them or my husband Joe...Pam: Was there anything strange, or unordinary, in whatever you talked with Christopher?Lisa: No, nothing at all. But it was quite unordinary to me to feel how much he loved you and your husband...Pam (teary-eyed): Thanks for saying that...Lisa: Don´t be hopeless Pamela. You will surely find him soon...(she picks her bag up and looks for something she will give to Pam) I want you to keep this: it´s a picture I took of Chris´s the day I first met him at the Dallas Galleria, while we were roller-skating... (Close-shot of the pic with little Chris with Bobby)Pam: (keeping the photo into her handbag, she holds Lisa tightly) Thank you Lisa, you don´t know how helpful you´ve been to me. Something´s telling me now that I´ll see my son again...When he´s back in Dallas, I´ll be waiting for you to come over...Lisa (also excited): My best wishes Pamela, and I must go now, or they´ll start out without me...(Pam laughs out and watches Lisa leaving along with her family to the starting point. The song “Maybe You´re Gone” begins to play) “Thought you were an angel Shining in the clouds Thought you were so faithful Now I have my doubts Maybe you're gone You're gone To sleep Maybe you're gone You're gone For keeps” SC.18 INT. – NEW OIL BARONS CLUB IN DALLAS(General shot of Bob and Phyllis sitting at a side table in the dining-room, while the other tables are already empty. Debbie look at them a little impatiently)Bob: I think that Debbie´d thank us if w´d leave now. (They both get up and walk towards the elevator) Phyllis, I´m not surprised at all: I knew that, with the experience you got at Ewing Oil you could get far, but I didn´t suspect you intended to become a business woman...Phyllis: Actually, I didn´t, too. After the Ewing Energy Group´s dissolution, my husband suggested me that maybe it was time to do something positive with our savings and we bet on that...By now we are goin´ fine and get a great motivation. Consulting companies are advancing more and more in the Dallas market and the country in general...Bob: I don´t know if I have right to, but I feel proud of you. I still remember when you came in to replace Connie, my former secretary, when she got sick. And you stayed with us...Phyllis: Yep, though that´s the official version...Bob: Whatcha mean? (They walk into the elevator)Phyllis: As Louella herself told me not long after I came, Connie had, so to say, grown up a overly love towards her boss...and resigned to avoid him trouble when she could hide it no more...Bob: Are ye pulling my leg? ¿Connie...in love with me?Phyllis: You can bet it, but keep it between you and me, please. Don´t comment it with anyone.Bob: Phyllis, you´ve always been one of the most faithful persons I´ve ever had by my side. I don´t know what I´d done without you sometimes, when J.R. began with his wheelin´n´dealin´, or when those oil rigs got burnt, remember?Phyllis: Sure, it happened in 1986, when you had to cut off the oil field working staff...Bob: People come and go...but you´ve always been there Phyllis...(She gets closer to her and kisses her lips once, but she backs away softly)Phyllis: Bobby, you shouldn´t. 20 years ago, it all would´ve been different, ´cause I´d admired you and was proud of working for you. But even so, there´s one thing more important than my feelings.Bob: What was it?Phyllis: When I though about a couple madly in love, you and Pam always came to my mind. I was deeply sorry when you divorced and still more when she vanished after the car accident. Don´t spoil what I feel for you Bobby. It´s so important to me to keep it that way.Bob: Your husband is a lucky man...Phyllis: I believe he is.Bob: ...And I´m just an old man who has played himself a fool...Phyllis: You´re no old man. You´ve got a wife and a teenage son who adore you and really need you right now. Best luck... (kissing his cheek, she leaves when the elevator door opens)Bob (now in the street): Yeah, they do need me...(his expression becomes serious and takes his cell phone out) Wanna talk with Sergeant O´Hara please...SC.19a EXT. – "MIGHTY DISCO" FAÇADE IN SAN FRANCISCO(Bobby looks at a map he is holding in his hand, and folds it, keeping it in his jacket pocket afterwards. Then he heads to the disco waiting queue...The song “Running up that Hill” in its disco version by Ultrawave begins to play)“If I only could... yeah”(Fade over the next scene)SC.19b INT. – INSIDE "MIGHTY DISCO"(Bobby gets into the disco lounge after leaving his jacket at the cloakroom and wide opens his eyes to see the beam of lights in the place...The song continues, now only instrumental...A man in his 30´s, dark-haired and sun-tanned, wearing a white T-shirt, stares at him and he shyly looks away...He still doubts if he should stay or not...)SC. 20 INT – SERGEANT O´BRIEN´S OFFICE, DALLAS POLICE STATIONBob: What is supposed to mean that my son´s case is a “closed case”?O´Brien: There´s nothing else we can do Mr. Ewing. Your son is over 18 and lives independently, and you got no sign of his being kidnapped.Bob: But no one disappears just like that, right?O´Brien: No, of course not but...Bob: Then I want a search warrant for my son´s building, where he also used to live in one of its apartments...O´Brien: We can get into a lot of trouble, there must be other companies there besides Christopher´s...Bob: The way I see it, we can get into a bigger lot of trouble if we don´t search that building...I´m sure you can understand me, don´t ye, O´Brien?O´Brien (sweating): Yep, I think I do Mr. Ewing...SC. 21 INT. – PAM´S SUITE AT THE BEVERLY HILLS HOTEL(Pam looks at the picture that Lisa gave her and puts it into the suitcase, and then she calls Reception to have her lugagge taken to the hall. Suddenly, somebody knocks on the door)Pam: Who is it?Woman: Pamela Ewing?Pam: Just a minute please...(she walks to the door and opens it, to find her former employée at the TV network, Debbi Porter, who wears long hairdo now)Debbi: Hello Pam...Pam: Oh, what a surprise Debbi, you´re the last person I expected to see here.Debbi: May I come in?Pam: Yes, come on...(wide opening the door and closing it behind her)Debbi: I know you´re leaving (noticing the lugagge) but you must not...Pam: Why not?Debbi: Because I think I can help you to find your son Christopher.Pam: How...?Debbi: Trust me... (Pam is stunned...)SC. 22 INT. – LAST FLOOR OF CHRISTOPHER´S BUILDING IN DALLAS(The Dallas SWAT forces the entrance to the offices, which turn out to be completely empty, just like the rest of the building...)Bob: That´s impossible: all the offices are empty, and so is my son´s apartment...O´Brien: You can see it yourself Mr. Ewing. This confirms that yous son closed his business and finished the leasing contracts with the other companies for hisbuilding´s offices.Bob: Just like that, anyday now? Without telling me first? You obviously don´t know my son...O´Brien: And seemingly, neither you do, Mr. Ewing...(Bob takes him apart holding his right arm, then putting him closer to him)Bob: (almost whispering) Be sure of one thing, damn incompetent: I do know my son very well and, if you don´t help me in this, it´ll be your family the one who won't be able to know you. If you are blocking information about him out, I´ll move heaven and earth to get you expelled from the Police force. So, from this moment on, we're together in this, and to begin with, tell me: where the hell is my son...? (looking angry and stunned...Fade to black)End of Episode 15 (The song “Twilight” by Antony & the Johnsons begins to play as the titles roll by) “Twilight Twilight I fall in the Harbor Twilight I fall in the hills But here in the city That never sleeps I can fall Through one's fingers When the swan Flies to heaven Soaring through The utmost fear There's a feeling That lingers in the afterwards Will you ever return Will you ever return Will you ever return Twilight Twilight Twilight Twilight I sit at all tables With my candles And angels besides And I shall wait forever As the day turns to night Swallowed in the shadows that glow Swallowed in the shadows that glow Swallowed in the shadows that glow When I sought out a light And I knew darkness swallowed I beseech, come to me All alone, come to me Twilight” Next: ABOUT CHRISTOPHER (PART TWO) Special Guest Stars: JESSICA LANGE as BARBARA (A Thousand Acres)DAVID BOREANAZ as JULIAN (Bones)RICHARD GERE as Alex (Pretty Woman)andSUSAN SARANDON as MADELEINE (Alfie)Also StarringMIA KIRSHNER as SHANIA (The L Word)Guest Stars:DEBORAH TRANELLI as Phyllis JERI GAILE as Rose McKay KARI MATCHETT as Lisa Farraday-Poynton (Covert Affairs)PETER PAIGE as Emmett (Queer As Folk)andJAMIE BAMBER as Ryan (Battlestar Galactica) Special Appearance ByHALLE BERRY as Debbi (X-Men)</blockquote>
