Message: <blockquote data-quote="Toni" data-source="post: 253389" data-attributes="member: 82">It is a especially long episode so it took me three posts to complete it! SC.23: EXT. – THE LANDS FORMERLY KNOWN AS SOUTHFORK(Travelling of the lands, beginning with the last oil rig, to the current abandoned manor and stables, and ending at the distant Hotel. Some horses come into the scene, ridden by Maggie, Betsy and Bobby. Entering the scene Afton and Beckie.)Afton: Why haven´t you ridden your horse today honey? Don´t you feel in the mood for your cousins?Beckie: I love my cousins and you know Mama. I´m just recovering from…you know…Afton: Oh men. My little baby is a grownup woman and has had her first heartbreak (kissing her tenderly). If he doesn´t want you, or doesn´t want any commitment with you, then he doesn´t deserve you. I dated a lot of men at high school and I can still remember your Grandma Arliss saying: “Choose a decent man, but keep this in mind, a decent man can make money too!” (both laugh out loud)Beckie: I´m so happy to be here with you, but I miss Christopher so much!Afton: Me too darlin´. But we get your dad and the rest of the family too…Here comes Ray…Ray: Ladies…I was wondering why you Beckie ain´t riding your horse. He isn´t ill, is he? We lost some horses lately…Beckie: No, I was just a little dizzy. I´m o.k. Ray, thank you.Ray: We wanted you to know about our project…Afton: What project? (Cliff and Donna reach them)Donna: Your dad, I and the rest of the family are planning a new organization of the Southfork land, now that the Court returned the land ownership to us…and Cliff wants to giv´us a hand.Cliff: I thought, I mean, we thought we should build a new, big house for all of us, instead of re-building Ray´s, Gary´s and Clayton´s annex houses.Beckie: What about Bob and Pam?Donna: They´ll live with us at the big house, just like the happy family that we always were…Beckie: By the way, where are they today?Donna: Well, they sounded very mysterious when they left. Bob said they had some unfinished business…(everybody look surprised and then relieved)SC.24: INT. – DALLAS LOVE FIELD AIRPORT(Subjective view walking thru the people and waving at Shania, waiting for her)Shania (waving back): Hi! (She hugs her and gives her a bunch of flowers)Woman (speaking with a deep, suggestive voice): Oh honey! You´re so sweet!Shania: I´m so happy to see you again, mum. It´s been a long time…Woman: Oh darlin´, you know that my business keep me busy all the time, you know, my investments, my designs, my public life…But I missed you so my baby…Where´s the cab?Shania: There it is, parked at that corner! Get inside, I´ll go and get the baggage…Woman: My poor baby! Call someone to help you, I´ve brought a lot of stuff! And a few gifts for my darlin´ too…(The woman walks thru the airport, attracting everybody´s attention, both men and women, but for different reasons. When she finds the cab, she gets into it and takes her little mirror out of the purse. Then we see the reflection of her big, beautiful, green eyes. The taxi driver notices her beauty and tries to chitchat with her)Driver: So, are ya comin´ home or you´re not a Dallasite?Woman (roughly): I…beg…your pardon? Er…Oh no, I wasn´t born here. But I do love Texans, especially men from Dallas (her eyes shine)…SC.25: INT. – SCHWARZENHACH CASTLE AT ZURICH, SWITZERLAND(Panning shot of a helicopter descending to the heliport landing area. Long shot of James and John Ross getting off the helicopter. Cut to the shoulder of a white-haired man sitting on an armchair. Cut to the men´s feet walking towards the man´s office. The door is opened and the men walk in. The man turns around and begins to speak<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Franz: Good morning. My name is Franz Weinheim. You must be John Ross Ewing III (looking at the youngest) and you James Richard Beaumont (looking at the oldest. Then he holds out his hand to them. Back into his armchair, he takes out of a folder two envelopes and looks at John Ross)Franz: I understand you have something belonging to me…John Ross (opening his briefcase and showing him the coat of arms): We were told at the Bank that this coat of arms belonged to this castle. This was part of the legacy from my father J.R. Did you know him?Franz: Oh yes indeed. He and I were very good friends, though we hardly saw each other in person. Let´s say that I was “his man in Europe”. We did a lot of big deals together. Before going on, I have a question for you, Mr. Ewing…J.R.: You can ask me whatever you want, sir.Franz (with a penetrating voice): Why did you come in with your…stepbrother James, instead of coming in alone?J.R.: My brother is my best friend and I share everything with him. He is much more experienced than I am and I appreciate his advises…Franz: I see…(he takes one of the envelopes and puts it back into the folder.) When your father travelled to Europe in 1990, a few months before his death, he and I had a secret meeting. He wanted to ensure that his son, his heir, would receive the whole sum of his fortune. But the political changes in Eastern Europe led him to believe that there was only one way to do this. Then he made me the executor of his last will, (pronouncing slowly the words) his last will. (He raises his hands and looks at the two shocked brothers)J.R.: Please no more old stories dear sir. Now we want to know why he had this coat of arms locked in a safe box in the Swiss International Bank.Franz: I was the Bank´s Director for forty years. Of course, I am retired now. Listen up to me, Mr. Ewing: you will never know what your father was able to do. Never (suddenly raising his voice)! Would you please give me that coat of arms? (Trying to hide his fear, John Ross gets up and puts the coat of arms on the man´s hands. Then, Franz opens the envelope with a paperknife and begins to read the letter) “Dear sons: all of my life, I´ve been thinking of this moment, being long dead, having you both in front of my dear friend Franz Weinheim, at that impressive background of the Schwarzenhach Castle. Finally, it´s time for me to pass you the torch that my beloved father John Ross Ewing, best known as Jock, passed me when I was twice your age. Maybe there´s no Ewing Oil company, maybe you don’t even have a company of your own, but remember what I once told you, John Ross: “Ol´ Jock was Ewing Oil, not a building or the oil wells, and he will always live…” (John Ross gasps) Now, Franz will explain to you, and you too James, (James gasps now) what the hell this is all about.” Franz fills a glass with water and drinks it. If you still didn´t trust me, I honestly hope this letter had changed your mind. This castle…and all that surrounding it: the forests, the resort, and every rock in 60 hundred miles radius, belongs to you…to both of you, 50%. Your father expresses in this letter his desire to let you decide what to do with them: enjoying it all your life or selling it…to me, at a revalued price.J.R.: When do we have to give you an answer, Mr. Weinham?James: I assume that everything will be legally done, as well…Franz: I always do everything legally Mr. Beaumont. And, Mr. Ewing, you have…one day to decide…So I expect you here tomorrow, at the same time…(They shake hands again, and began to walk out. Suddenly, John Ross says to James)J.R.: I´ll be with you in a minute James…(he raises an eyebrow and slowly, walks away) One more question, sir: Why did you put the other envelope away?Franz: I was afraid of that question…(Looking at his eyes) J.R. specified that, if you walked in alone, you would be his universal heir. But, if you came in with company, then his legacy had to be shared between you and your stepbrother…J.R.: Tomorrow, James and I´ll be here to sign the sale contract…and you´d better be good with numbers! (J.R. smiles as he watches Franz burning the other envelope…)SC.26a: INT. – LIVING ROOM AT SUE ELLEN´S MANORSue Ellen: Where he must be?Shania: Don´t get obsessed with him, you know what the therapist told us at the clinic group meetings…S.E.: I can´t believe he could stay at such a dirty motel…I had no idea his financial problems were so big…Shania: May I be honest with you, Sue Ellen? I mean, speaking as a friend, not as an employee?S.E.: Absolutely Shania. Please say what you think…Shania: Didn´t you ever notice the way Dusty emptied his bourbon glasses…? Please don´t blame me for saying this…I just…thought you had noticed that already…S.E.: As a matter of fact, dear, yes.Shania: I know that I´ve just met him a couple of times, but I had that feeling…S.E. (looking sad): That certain, horrible feeling…Shania: Yes…But, why don´t you go to sleep now? I´m sure tomorrow he will come around.S.E.: Maybe you´re right…(Cut to next scene)SC.26b: INT. – SUE ELLEN´S BEDROOM AT SUE ELLEN´SShania: Are you comfortable Sue Ellen…?S.E.: Yes, you´re an angel. Will you please give me my pills?Shania: Of course, I brought you a glass of water…(She hands two pills to Sue Ellen)S.E.: Please give me two more darlin´…Shania: Are you sure Sue Ellen?S.E.: I´m so tired, I can´t take the image of Dusty´s motel room out of my head…Shania: O.k., here you are…S.E.: Thanks Shania…See ya tomorrow…Don´t forget to lock the door from outside. The kids will be a couple of days away…and there´ve been robberies in the area lately.Shania: Don´t worry Sue Ellen. Don´t worry about anything…(She comes out of the room. Cut to next scene)SC.26c: INT. – SUE ELLEN´S BEDROOM AT SUE ELLEN´S(First shot of the clock in the wall: five minutes have passed by. Shania opens the door stealthily…and sneaks into the room again)Shania (in loud voice): Sue Ellen? (She heads for her purse and puts it on the bedside table. She softly slaps her right cheek, but the woman doesn´t wake up. Shania takes her purse and gets a bottle of pills out of it) Dear Sue Ellen, you know what they say about the overuse of sleeping pills, don’t you? But I have the solution for this: I have my own antidepressant pills, and these work out just fine. Want to try them? (She takes the half full glass of water and puts a handful of pills in Sue Ellen´s tongue, then she empties the glass into her throat. After that, she takes a medium-sized bottle of vodka out of the purse and opens it…) Yes, you are right Sue Ellen. It´s your favorite brand of vodka, and I know because I am like a daughter for you…(Sue Ellen begins to cough, even unconscious…) Drink my dear, drink…You don´t know yet, but I am your late husband´s daughter…Yes, how did you guess it? She was pregnant when she went to Hollywood to become a star…she was carrying me…Right again! My mother is Mandy Winger…and my father was…J.R. Ewing. Now we´ve come to stay...and get what belongs to us. (One minute later, she takes her purse and gets her own bottle of pills into her purse too) Oh yes, I´ll give my mum regards from you…and I´ll lock the door from outside, though I must take your keys too…(Shania smiles a sweet smile and leaves, this time for real, leaving Sue Ellen unconscious on her bed)SC.27: INT. – BATHROOM AT THE BARNES RANCH AT BRADDOCK(Beckie looks herself in the mirror, and combs her hair. Suddenly, she looks down and holds a pink-color test strip in her hand)Beckie (muttering to herself): My God…I can´t be pregnant…I just can´t…Cliff (off screen): Dear daughter, all the members of the Barnes family are carriers of a genetic disease called neurofibromatosis. Any of our children, including yours, are liable to die in infancy, before their first year of life. This is something you always, always must remember…Beckie: Oh daddy, I´m so sorry…What am I gonna do…? (She begins to cry in front of the mirror…)SC.28: INT. – COMMERCIAL AIRLINES AIRPLANE FLYING AWAY FROM TEXAS…(Travelling following a hostess that stops at a medium shot of Christopher and Jane, sitting at the seats of an airplane)Chris: How do you feel?Jane: Strange…but deep inside, good. As if I were a different person.Chris: As long as you keep your feelings for me…Jane: What feelings? I still am a single woman.Chris: The day we come back to Dallas, you and I will be married.Jane: You´re hopeless…Your parents looked so sad…(Fade into flashback scene)Bob: We know that this is the only solution for now. A temporary solution. It will be hard for all of us, but I´m sure it´ll be hard for you too. (Then the camera shows Professor Morrison, Jane´s father)Morrison: Of course it will. I love Jane as much as you love your son Chris. We´ve been lucky we had all the collaboration from our side and from the Ewings´ side to carry this plan out. You have a big family, but I only have my little Jane…(She enters the shot and hugs her father)Jane: Dad, I´ll be missing you so much…(Morrison kisses her daughter)Chris (entering the scene too): Mum, dad… (Chris holds Pam tightly and Bob joins the couple) Soon they´ll catch those people and we´ll be together again, and this time for good.Pam: Shall we ever know their new identities?Morrison: We won´t have to. If we´re lucky, they´ll be back within a few months. But now, this is the best and safest way out.Pam: Jane, sweetheart…(she kisses her cheek and Jane hugs her)Bob: You deserved an Oscar for your performance.Morrison: There was a lot at stake…(looking at her daughter) I regret to say this but…it´s time to leave. (Chris hugs his son and the young couple get out of the airport waiting-room)Bob: Are you sure that this airport wasn´t bugged?Morrison: They confirmed it this morning once again.Bob: Hope to meet you again.Pam: At least, on their wedding day…Bob: You know, she´s a little old-fashioned…(smiling at Morrison) Please keep in touch, you know the way…(Morrison leaves and gets into his car, waiting to see the plane take off…) He´ll be back Pamela. I promise you.Pam: Promised? (looking at him as she cries…) Sometimes I think I´ve spent my life saying goodbye to you two. Do you think that Sue Ellen and Betsy will ever forgive us?Bob: For what? For making´em believe that our son was dead to stop just that?Poor Beckie and Maggie cried a lot at the funeral but they´re aware now, and the others were warned before it happened…Pam: You know something Bobby? Now I want to travel…Bob: Travel? Why this sudden desire to travel?Pam: Why not? You´re always saying that…We might take the car… Bob: No, not by car, please… (They begin to argue as the score overlaps their talk. Fade into the previous scene. Chris and Jane kiss and the camera pans away.)29: EXT/INT – FINALE MONTAGE(The instrumental version of the song “Don´t Come Home Too Soon” begins to play up to the end of the episode, as we see<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />1: – EXT. – EWINGS´ AT GALVESTON(Will gets out of his car and rings the bell.
