Message: <blockquote data-quote="Piggyrella Sanderson" data-source="post: 253388" data-attributes="member: 82">Here is the last part of Episode 18, and also Season 3. So it´s cliffhanger time, expect anything! You will learn the truth about Madeleine and Lucy´s father. I hope you like it [USER=18]@Karin Schill[/USER]!SC.14: INT. – LIVING ROOM AT EWING MANOR(First shot of Julian. Travelling from everyone´s face in the room ending up in Julian´s: Dusty, Sue Ellen, Bob, Pam, Ray, Donna, Barbara)Julian: Clayton first met Madeleine´s at her hotel in Berna. He had to spend a couple of days there before leaving to the ski resort where he was going to have his holidays, supposedly to rest. I was already Madeleine´s bodyguard, though she always called me when she had to do anything slightly suspicious. I understand her behaviour now. I thought she was interested in me at first (looking at Barbara), I mean, as a man, but she made it clear really soon that she only had time for her business career. She received calls from people from everywhere: then one day, I began to take notice of some names I heard and collect some info here and there. The day she met Clayton Farlow, she looked somewhat different, maybe flattered or even infatuated by him. He was much older than him, but that´s not a problem nowadays, not even in my country, Hungary. Madeleine´s hotel was almost in bankrupt and she told me to pack up: we were leaving with Clayton to the ski resort. She was trying to close a deal with him about the hotel. That was her pattern: she knew someone, then she made him believe they had fallen in love, and that relationship became a business deal.Bob: Clayton was not that kind of man. He hardly dated other women after his wife Amy died, and spent a very long time alone.Sue Ellen: I agree with you Bob, but I think Clay liked women a few years younger that him…Dusty: What do ya mean, Sue Ellen?Sue Ellen (blushing up): Nothing…I just meant…that, as we all know, he felt an immediate attraction to Miss Ellie when he began to come around Southfork…Bob: Please go on Julian.Julian: So, the three of us went at that ski resort…Bob: I guess that you´ll be able to give us all kind of details about that story, won´t ya?Julian: Yes, Bob. I heard some conversations between the couple, and I felt that Clayton was more interested in Madeleine as a business woman than in herself as just a woman. He sounded like a man wanting to do his last big deal before dying…Dusty: That´s more of my father´s…Ray: And ours too (looking at Bob).Bob (staring at Julian): Our dad Jock went to South America for his last drilling project, that´s why Ray´s said that.Julian: I see. But Clayton didn´t know the kind of woman Madeleine was, and she even found out about his heart condition and which medicines he was having at the time. I remember her speaking on the phone with a doctor friend of hers who prescribed her a medicine called Vioxx. It was legal but a real danger for people following a treatment against high blood pressure. One day I heard Clayton telling her that he had suffered two heart attacks and had lived long enough, after meeting such wonderful women as his two wives. That was when I began to suspect that Madeleine might be something worse than an unscrupulous business woman…maybe she was able to kill someone. I went to a cybercafé in Berna and googled about Clayton: he was one of the last Oil Barons in Texas and his fortune was valued in hundreds of thousands of dollars. I had to do something and quickly. But it was too late. The first day we spent at the resort, Madeleine told me to take a couple of days off, and I feared for Clayton´s life. The second day, she and Clayton went out skiing and I followed them with my binoculars: he wasn´t strong enough to follow her and suddenly stopped. She skied back and tried to kiss Clayton, but he pushed her back. He raised his voice though I couldn´t hear a word. Then he turned round and began to walk towards the nearest aerial tramway. She lost her temper, shouted at him and called him names, though I don´t know what exactly. After that, Madeleine took her skiis and left him alone. That was when he began to feel badly, and put his hand over his left arm. I put my skiis on and called the resort´s medical services before rushing to the place. Once I was there, I saw Madeleine´s silhouette not too far from there taking pictures of the two of us…So it would made me look like the person who let him die…(Julian´s eyes get teary, and so do Sue Ellen´s and Pam´s)Dusty: I should´ve been with him. I´m the person who let him die…It was my fault… (he gets up and walks away, followed by a concerned Sue Ellen)Bob: Who has those pictures Julian? Are they in Madeleine´s Southfork safe box?Julian: I don´t think so…(Bob looks at him and then at Barbara…)SC.15: EXT. – MOODY GARDENS AT GALVESTON(First shot of Lucy. The camera surrounds her and we eventually see her long blond hair. Suddenly, someone calls out her name)Man: Lucy!!Lucy (turning round and looking out innocently): Curtis? (A black man a little younger gets out of a yellow cab and walks towards her…)Curtis: The very same!! (He stops in front of her and finally hugs her gently) Curtis: Too long time!!Lucy: To me too! How many years since last time, five, six?Curtis: Eight, to be precise. (Lucy feels a bit ashamed) Oh mine, you look simply wonderful Lucy…Let´s have a walk… (Fade to next scene: the couple walks on the beach)Curtis: It was most unexpected to know that a girl from Texas was looking for me. I´m doing office work now, though my arm is in great shape again…(Lucy touches his left arm)Lucy: Oh yeah, it seems to be stronger than ever…I guess my ex-husband Mitch would be glad to know…since he was the one who treated your burns in 1987. Forgive me if I´ve reminded you of those times…Curtis: No at all, I did what I had to do. Serving my country was my job and it still is, but now under a roof in a safety place. A lot safer than Iraq…Lucy: When we first met, you were at the Atlanta Hospital where Mitch was working, and I was still his wife…It sounds like ages…the 80´s.Curtis: You look great Lucy…and that long blond hair…now I realized how I missed you.Lucy: I missed you too, Curtis.Curtis: It made me sad to know that you divorced...One day I came back at the hospital to resume the therapy and a nurse told me Mitch let you go…Lucy: Well, in fact, he didn´t. He followed me up to Texas, at Southfork, but my feelings were all mixed-up…Curtis: We didn´t talk about it the last time, but your company helped me to overcome my depression after returning from Iraq…I hope Mitch didn´t misunderstood the time we spent together…Lucy: I´m sure he didn´t even realize…Since he became the Burn Unit Head, we hardly saw each other, just the opposite of the situation we went thru when we married. Then my job as a model was the cause of our separation…Curtis: It was kind of fun to meet you by chance so many years after that…Lucy: I was spending my Caribbean holidays with my friend Peter Richards and then, there you were, wearing a flowered shirt…Curtis: I remember I thought: “Too bad she´s not alone”. I thought Peter was your boyfriend…Lucy: Yeah, but he wasn´t. (Staring at him, sadly) Peter didn´t come back with me, he stayed there and died of aids a few months later. It was his choice. He felt that was the perfect place to…Curtis: I´m really sorry Lucy.Lucy: Are you married Curtis?Curtis: I almost did once, but didn´t work out. I finished it before it was too late.Lucy: I must tell you something Curtis…SC.16: INT. – PAM´S OFFICE AT DALLAS(Establishing shot of the Building, which also houses the Shepard Inc. Offices. Medium shot of Pam checking a report. The intercom beeps and Pam presses a button)Pam: Yes? What is it?Secretary (off screen): There´s someone here who says he knows you. His name is Alex Ward.Pam (blank, then she reacts): Oh… Please let him in…just one second. (She fixes her hair and clothes and gets up to welcome him. The door is opened)Alex: Hello Pamela. (He walks in and the secretary waits for Pam´s orders) Pam: That´s fine, thank you. (Pam closes the door behind her. Then she kisses Alex´s cheek) What a surprise Alex? Are you doing business in town again? Please take a seat. (She points at two armchairs at one corner of the office. They both sit down)Alex: No, Pam. As a matter of fact, I´ve returned for you.Pam (amused): Oh, what´s that supposed to mean, Alex? Alex (smiling): Oh no…I didn´t mean what it sounded like. For you, I really meant for you and your family. I´m really sorry about your son…Pam: Thank you Alex.Alex: I read the newspapers. All that stuff about the Southfork affair. The way she seemed to press Farlow to make her his universal heir. That´s why I´m here.Pamela, I owe you an explanation and an apology.Pam (astonished): Go on.Alex: Do you remember the time we spent together in Milan a few months ago? Pam: Of course I do. You´re beginning to make me nervous, Alex.Alex: Our first encounter there was not accidental: it was planned, as everything that happened later.Pam: Planned?! By whom?Alex: By the same woman you know as Madeleine. She identified herself with another name. When we met at the Milan Duomo Hotel, I told you about my marriage, about that wonderful Italian woman who died of cancer…Pam: And?Alex: It all was a lie, a big lie…made out by Madeleine. I did marry, but my wife was a bloodsucker who took all my money when we divorced. All I had left was an old villa in Nice, deep in debt, that belonged to my grandmother, but Madeleine had bought the promissory notes to make me do what I did…Pam (getting closer to him, eyes wide open): What the hell did you do?Alex: Somehow she knew about our flirting when you were at The Store, and used that to cause trouble to Bobby and you. So he would get into a mess and couldn´t regain forces to fight her back. She said that nobody would get hurt, it was all a business strategy to secure her position at Southfork and even mentioned that you two were having problems again…(Pam gets up and begins to walk up and down the office. Then Alex gets up too.)Pam (angry): Alex, just tell me one thing: Did we really make love that night in Milan?Alex: If you want a straight answer, no, we didn´t. (Pam madly slaps his face)Pam: You damn liar, tell me the rest of the story right now!Alex: Madeleine gave me a bottle of sleeping pills called “Aubien”, and told me that they don´t only make you sleep, but also cause amnesia if you sleep less than 5 hours. A couple of them into your tea and I could convince you that we made love. I had to make noise so you would wake up at the right time…I´m really sorry Pamela. I really am.Pam: Please get out of here Alex.(He heads for the door)Alex (turning round): Pamela, I´ve been a victim of hers too. I just came here to apologize and tell you that I will testify against her if the Ewings take her to court. I never wanted to hurt you. Please believe me…Pam: Just go now…(crying silently, turning her back to him)(Fade Out and End of Act Four)SC.17: INT. – SHANIA´S APARTMENT AT DALLAS(Subtitle: “One week later”. Medium shot of Shania. Zoom in to her face slowly)Shania (speaking on the phone): Yes Mother, but I thought that you´be here already…I don´t want to push along things but this is the best moment for you to come back…O.k., but within a month she, or he might be recovered…and she´s alone now. His son and his half-brother will be in Europe a few days…I´m sure she´d come into pieces if she knew that her worst enemy is going to ruin her life…In fact, her life is ruined now, but she doesn´t know yet…I´m missing you Mother…I love you too. Bye-bye.(She hangs up and puts her face on her pillow as she embraces another pillow, absent-minded...)SC.18: INT. – EWING PRIVATE JET, FLYING OVER THE ATLANTIC OCEAN(Panning shot of the plane. Travelling to James and John Ross sitting face to face)James: Well, here we are, flying to Switzerland…John Ross: Did you make sure that Cally didn´t want to come with us?James: And leave the kids? No way! And they´re too young to do such a long flight like this…and it´s business after all. We´re not goin´ to Euro Disney…J.R.: Yeah, I guess so…(looking thru the window). You know, some people seem to be afraid of heights, they get, what´s the name…James: …Vertigo…J.R.: That´s right, vertigo. I love flying, it´s like getting a temporary license to live between Heaven and Earth…I keep on thinking about it since the day we did the parachute jumping. Nothing can be compared to that…James: John Ross, I wanna tell ya something…J.R.: Another brotherly advise?James: Name it as you want, but you´d better take it…Don´t trust on our father´s last will. He´s been manipulating us since the day he died. He left me nothing in his testament just to make me feel lousy. I followed his rules and almost lost my mind…Then Sue Ellen´s movie, that intended to ruin your mother´s image. He forbid you to get your inheritance until you got your degree, and then what happened? His legacy is an old letter written by your Grandpa Jock.J.R.: Stop it James! You don´t know how my dad really was…James: He was my dad too and I´m only worried about you. We had enough disappointments from his side…J.R.: I´m a grownup now James. If you wanna be my business partner, you´d better stop preaching me right now. I´ll try to sleep for awhile…(He gets up and lies on a berth. James shakes his head and looks thru the window…)SC.19: INT. – SOUTHFORK HOTEL LOBBY(Long shot of the hotel lobby. A young man enters and heads for the reception)Man: Good morning. I´d like to see Mr. Ewing.Receptionist: Which?Man: Which what?R.: Which Mr Ewing?Man: The blonde.R.: Which blonde?Man: Well, there are several blond Ewings: Mr. Gary Ewing, his son Bobby, white-haired Ray Krebbs-Ewing…R.: The latter…Man: Mr. Krebbs?R.: No, the second one. Mr. Bobby Ewing, please. I´m a friend of his. I´ll wait outside…(He turns round and we see his angry face: it´s Will´s friend from San Francisco. Cut to Bobby walking to reception and talking with the receptionist. He turns round and sees a man´s back. He smiles and heads towards the visitor. When he recognizes him, he stops)Ryan: Hi. My name is Ryan.Bobby: You seem to know me already. I´m Bobby.Ryan: Yeah, we met before once, in San Francisco…Bobby (slightly blushing up): You look so different with your clothes on…Why are you here?Ryan: I´m a friend of Will Monahan´s. Obviously your company owns hotels in many cities…You were working at the San Francisco Renoir Hotel, right?Bobby: Actually not. Maybe you were working there… (He begins to walk away)Ryan (laughing): Look boy, we may be playing a wit contest for an hour or go straight to the point.Bobby: I´m gonna tell you a story. It´s about a man who wanted to help his family and friends, and remembered he had a boyfriend who used to work for a National Bank. They weren´t lovers anymore but still close enough to be naked in front of each other without desperately having sex. This man was honest, warm and brave enough to take chances, so he quit his job for awhile and seeked for help. He did it even he was in love, truly in love, of a young, rich, blond man who seemed to love him back…He thought that his innocent boy would be waiting for him…But he seemed to be gone…Gone forever? (First shot of Bobby, eventually shedding a tear…The song “Deep” begins to play)“So this is what you mean And this is how you feel So this how you see And this is how you breathe 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”SC.20: INT. – SWISS INTERNATIONAL BANK AT ZURICH, SWITZERLAND(Long shot of the bank´s safe deposit chamber. Two hands put the box in question on a table and the banker leaves and closes a transparent door, leaving John Ross and James behind)John Ross: After so many safety measures, I hope it will be worth awhile, at least for the mileage we´ve done…(he takes his key and opens the box slowly. He gasps…)James: So…what is it? John Ross: It´s sort of a coat of arms with lions… (he carefully gets it out of the box and shows it to James) There´s something written on it…I think it´s Latin. James: Is that all?J.R.: You heard that man, all J.R. left for me is here…James: Let me see…No, it´s not Latin, it´s German. “Schwarzenhach”. The lions in the coats…We should ask the Director, I´m sure he knows the meaning of all this.J.R.: That´s a good idea…(Zoom in to the coat…)SC.21: INT. – SUE ELLEN´S AT TURTLE CREEK, DALLAS(First shot of S.E. on the phone)S.E.: All right dear. Thank you so much for your help. Give a big hug to Bob for me, o.k.? He´ll come up, sooner or later. Bye, Pam.Shania (hanging up her cell phone): I´m sorry Sue Ellen, but there´s no one at the Dallas Memorial Hospital fitting in his description. Do you want me to call the police again?S.E.: Not now Shania. Let´s wait a little. Dusty had never missed an appointment with me and he´s been missing for almost two days now. Bob and Ray have been searching for him around the Southfork lands, but they get no clue…I´m really worried darlin´. If Cally hadn´t taken the kids to the White Water Park, I couldn´t even think. Dusty´s a very special person to me and I know he has nobody else right now…Did you call the Quorum Hotel?Shania (serious): Yes…I did.S.E.: What´s wrong, Shania? Please tell me.Shania: I called there several times, but they said that there was no Steven Farlow staying at the Hotel. I should´ve told you before, but…I found this at the office…(giving her a card)S.E.: “Trade Winds Motel”…What does it mean?Shania: Dusty told you that he had been at the offices one day, remember? (She nods) Well, someone took his card but gave you no message, as it seems. At least, we have something to begin with.S.E.: Please Shania put me with that motel as soon as possible. You´re such a helpful person, the best friend a woman can have…especially now, with John Ross in Switzerland…Shania: Count on me dear, we women have to help each other, haven´t we? (She takes her cell phone as S.E. looks at her address book)SC.22: INT. – EWINGS´ AT GALVESTON(Establishing shot of Lucy parking her car in front of the house, with Curtis at her side)Curtis: Are you sure you want to do this Lucy?Lucy: I have no choice, they´ve been pushing me for years to know who Peter´s father is. Today is THE day. So put on a happy face and get out of the car…(she takes her purse and opens Curtis´s side door)Curtis: I hardly know my son and you are about to introduce me to my so-called parents-in-law…Lucy: Don´t be silly honey, it´s like having your teeth pulled out. And you may even like them…Curtis (getting out of the car): O.k., but only if I can invite you to dinner afterwards.Lucy: Hmmm. Maybe another day, but not today.(Cut to a shot of Gary and Val looking at themselves in the mirror)Gary: You look perfect sweetheart. I wonder if Lucy is sure of wanting to do this…Val: After all these years wanting to know who Peter´s father is, I am the one who is feeling unsure…Gary: Smile and say cheese! (Both of them pose). Finish. Let´s go downstairs, I seem to hear her car roaring.(They hear the bell. The couple goes downstairs and opens the door, after putting their best smile on) Hi! (Lucy and Curtis are standing at the door)Lucy: Hi dad! This is Curtis…Gary: Hi Curtis…Lucy: He´s my dad Gary Ewing…and that is my mama Valene.Val (shaking his hand): Nice to meet you Curtis.Lucy: Well…Finally. Here you are. This is Peter´s natural father. (Gary and Val smile trying to look sincere)(Fade Out and End of Act Five)TO BE CONTINUED</blockquote>
