MONTAGE SUE ELLEN´S MANOR / JOHN ROSS´APARTMENT(SUE ELLEN wakes up and begins to prepare herself for a really tough day. At the same time, JOHN ROSS is already taking a shower in his new apartment and gets a diet breakfast after working out at his own house. / SUE ELLEN chooses the suit she is going to wear that day. She walks down to the dining-room, where JAMES, CALLY and their children Jimmy and Ellie are already having breakfast.)Cally: Good morning, Sue Ellen. You look wonderful, I love your new hairstyle…James: We´re very happy you allowed us to stay here while you were in Europe.S.E.: Well, I guess you´re my family now. I travelled to France in order to spend a couple of weeks in the best Spa and, when I came back, I found John Ross barely talks to me…and he´s run away to get his own apartment.James: He had been waiting for his inheritance for years, Sue Ellen, and you know that. He was anxious to get the lifestyle he was raised to have, and he´s working hard to invest his fortune on something profitable. You should understand his attitude…S.E.: I do James, better than I wanted to. It makes me think of my dear late husband, and how he raised his son. Always magnifying Big Jock´s real role in the family, using John Ross as a pawn in our fights for custody…Now it´s time for him to fly away…away home.C.: Sue Ellen, you know you can count on us, but we don´t wanna disturb your privacy…S.E.: Sweetheart you all are making me feel less alone especially now, and I care about you and the kids. So please stay as long as you want to.C.: You´re such a lady, Sue Ellen. I hope you can win the "Dallas Woman Of The Year Award”…S.E.: That´s only an award, I wish I could re-connect with my son the way we were before…(James looks at Cally and Cally holds S.E.´s hand warmly).SC2 – EXT. AIR VIEW OF JOHN ROSS DRIVING HIS BRAND NEW MERCEDES ON THE DALLAS STREETS(A lot of thoughts come in and out of John Ross´s mind. Some from the far past, others from the near present, but John Ross´s face stays tough. Montage of Thoughts: John Ross: “Mommie, mommie, there was a lot of lights and firemen too…(Sound Clip from “The Road Back”.)J.R.: “Your Mama is crazy, boy” (Sound Clip from Season 11).J.R.: “John Ross…This is EWING OIL (showing him Jock´s portrait)…(Sound Clip from “The Fall of The Ewing House”)…J.R.(reading Jock´s last letter): ”Never stop trying and never let the bastards get you down. The Ewing name and our company can´t stop with me or you. Perhaps with God ´s Grace, I´ll be back to stand beside you, as one day you´ll stand beside your son and pass the torch to him” (Sound Clip from “Daddy Dearest”)…John Ross: “Look Mother: this is Ewing Oil, and now it´s all yours. Run it by youself because you probably intended that…” (Sound Clip from “My Best Enemy´s Wedding”(III).John Ross: Go to hell you all. I don´t need you, not even you, my bastard brother James…(He arrives at his new job building and drives to the parklot.)SC3 – EXT. STREETS OF DALLAS IN THE MORNING(Shot of Shania´s feet walking her way to the “Shepard Industries” office Building and suddenly stopping at a shop with a TV set inside, reporting about the new list of the top powerful women in Texas. She wide opens her eyes and notices Pamela Ewing´s name at the top of the list. Thanks to her recent sold-outs, Pam has become the most powerful woman in all Texas. Shania keeps walking and gets a newspaper before entering the elevator. When Shania arrives at the office, surprisingly Sue Ellen is already there, after having a meeting with someone unknown to her. They say goodbye to each other and then tells Shania to come in on her office).S.E.: Dear Shania, I´ve been studying your reports from the last six months and I must admit that you have done an excellent job.Shania (faking surprise): Thank you so much Sue Ellen. It´s all due to your training, you know that.S.E.: I have been thinking about changing a few things here and there…S.: What do you exactly mean?S.E.: I think you´re the right person to revamp our Style magazine, you know, the one we called Woman Today. But I think you need a proper motivation for that…(She handles a document over to her)Shania: Are you making me your equal partner in the magazine ownership?S.E.: Yes, that´s right. You got talent, a personality and a sense of urgency to improve the women´s status on Dallas. Who better than you for this job?S. (slightly heartwarmed): Oh this is so unexpected Sue Ellen…S.E.: But why darling? You´ve been loyal to me for almost a year and even saved my life when I accidentally overdose. You´re hardworker and never put your personal life before your work obligations.S.: What about Pamela? She´s gonna come back some day.S.E.: Let me handle that, but Pamela has made a choice. She isn´t interested in business any more and I must respect that. So, we are partners?S. (shaking her hand): Oh yeah, we are partners (kissing Sue Ellen´s cheek. Fade Out And End of Act 1)SC4 – EXT. / INT. DARK RESTAURANT IN DOWNTOWN DALLAS(Shot of Sue Ellen joining a woman detective who is drinking a scotch.)Deirdre: Would you like one…?S.E.: No thank you. I´d go straight to business.D.: It´s fine for me.S.E.: This is the staff at my company. I want a complete investigation of ALL OF THEM, what they do out of work, if they have criminal record, if they have been married and how many times…D.: This one is very good looking. And has a high profile in your company (taking out a picture of Shania).S.E.: Yes it´s true.D: You want her investigated too?S.E.: I want her ESPECIALLY investigated, if you understand what I mean…SC5 – EXT. TOWNSEND ADOPTION AGENCY BUILDING IN DALLAS(General shot of sad Ray and Donna coming downstairs. He suddenly stops)Ray: Well, he didn´t want to be found. At least we know he was adopted after the trial.Donna: That was Jenna´s last will, wasn´t it? Oh please Ray, don´t get obsessed about that, honey.R.: I´m not obsessed but he is my brother Bobby´s natural son and it´s natural that I care about him, and his whereabouts.D.: What about Charlie?R.: We lost touch after the trial. She was so depressed, and influenced by that boyfriend of hers, Randy…D.: Ray, if you wanna find out where he is now, get a detective to follow his track. Otherwise, please please concentrate on your family: Maggie needs a father very badly now, and I just can´t connect with her as I used to… (They kiss and get nto their car and leave)SC6 – EXT. SOUTHFORK PRAIRIES(Travelling into Gary, talking to his horse)Gary: You know, boy, life is a mess. It´s always been a mess to me. I spent many years with the wrong women and, when I returned to my first love, something went wrong and changed my life forever…Fade into Flashback)FB1 – INT. USED CAR BEING DRIVEN IN THE DIRECTION OF THE SUBURBAN DALLAS(Gary wakes up inside the car and sees a big gun pointing at him. He looks up and sees the face of his kidnapper)Gary (confused): Where the hell I am?Michael: On the Road to Perdition, pal.G.: Is this a bad joke, do I owe some money?M.: No. And yes. You owe to us all your money…G.: You better shoot me than play games with me. I´m not in the mood.Kevin: Tell the guy who we are, Mike!G.: Who the hell are you?M.: We´re Richard Channing´s sons. Do you remember him? You conned him two million dollars.G.: That´s not true. It all was my lawyer Alan Beam´s fault, he quit and took that money along…Ask him!K.: Too late. He and his wife had an accident down in Mexico…A fatal accident. (Gary´s face begins to look concerned as he feels a deep pain in his right arm. Fade Out And End Of Act 2)SC7 – EXT. BOBBY AND BETSY WALKING DOWN THE BEACH IN GALVESTON(Bobby suggests taking a sit on a rocky esplanade. Betsy agrees.)Be.: How´s Mama?B.: Awful. She´s going thru one of her silent crisis, she is isolated of everyone and doesn´t want to hear what Dad has to say…Be.: Every time I hear you say Dad, I think you mean Ben, instead of Gary. Do you think I will ever overcome it?B.: Maybe some day. But you should remember that Gary is not only our natural Dad, but also acted as our Dad for the last…what…14 years?Be: I can´t see him that way…Maybe I should talk to Lucy…She had issues with Dad too…B.: Well, if your new mystery job gives you enough time to talk to your older sister.Be: Bobby, I had to leave that house and make my own living. I know I´m not living my dreams but, for now, I can pay a rent with my workmate…B.: Is she nice?Be: Well, I´m sure she wouldn´t be welcome at one of the Southfork barbecues… I knew her on the Girl Chat and talked for hours during one month. Then I asked her about her job and she insisted in me to go to see her. She´s an artist, and everybody look at her when she´s on the stage…I wish I could do that.B.: Be careful little sister, those words could fit in a lot of problematic “jobs”…Shall we go to the house now?Be: No, I´ll stay for awhile and listen to the waves…It makes me relax…Then I´ll drive back to Dallas. (Kissing Bobby) Thank you for being here.SC8 -INT. CALLAWAY DINING-ROOM IN BRADDOCK(Molly, her husband and Lucas are having dinner together at the patio)Hank: You´re doin´ a great job here Joel…and I want ya to know…Joel: Thank you Mr. Callaway.

I love Texas…Molly: Joel is not just a cowboy and a pool-cleaner, Hankie dear, he speaks several languages and he´s a very hard…worker.J.: (looking at Molly): It´s easy to work in a place you feel like home.H.: Keep on working like that and you might get a surprise…J.: (shocked): What kind of surprise?H.: I could build a new house for you near the West fences…J.: (looking at Molly): Here´s ok for me, don´t need my own house.M.: Let me giv´ya one advice boy, if Hank Callaway wanna give you a house, don’t argue with him, just take it!J.: (moody): Ok, I´m gonna have a smoke now. Swell meal as usual, Mrs. Callaway. (He gets out to the terrace, followed by Molly)M.: Never contradict him again, never!J. (smoking a cigarette): Give me a good reason.M.: My husband has two sides: one is a smooth rancher who smokes big cigars and the other…J.: What about the other?M.: You´d get scared at it. Shall we take a swim?J.: Isn´t he smoking at the back patio?M.: He must be already sleeping there, I slipped a couple of sleeping pills to make his night life better…and mine too. (She takes her clothes off and jumps onto the pool. Then she encourages Joel, who gets naked and joins her in the warm waters…Molly puts her body onto his and kisses him with passion. Joel hesitates one second and then, he kisses her back…)SC9 – EXT. BURNT UNIT IN ATLANTA HOSPITAL(Establishing shot of the Hospital and then, a helicopter awaits on the grass.
