Announcer: here are some scenes

From the first half of tonight's story.

Thank you, darling.

I never know if it's me or the secrets we share

That makes me so appealing to you.

The new chief of the office of land management.

I intend to use the full power of this office...

To bury j.r. Ewing.

She knows about every deal, every payoff we ever made.

If she talks to Barnes, we're in trouble.

She's got to have proof. She's got no proof.

Soon as I get back to the office,

I'll call dan Marsh,

Have him put a tail on her.

J.r., you are so worried about what I know,

You had my apartment searched.

You'll never find it...

'cause you don't know where to look.

You've got something to sell.

I'm always ready to buy.

I don't think you have the price.

J.r. Hasn't hurt you badly enough.

No. What I had in mind

Was putting your friendship with Barnes to good use.

You don't want me

To sleep with cliff, do you?

Could mean a lot of money to you.

Recording: this is cliff Barnes.

I'm out right now. Leave your name and number

After the tone, and I'll get back to you.

Hello, cliff. This is Julie.

You're right. I do know where the skeletons are buried.

I've been hurt enough, and I'm ready to sell.

All we have to talk about is price.

Let me play something for you, mr. Ames.

Julie: and I'm ready to sell.

All we have to talk about is price.

You sure she came all the way to the top?

Yeah, I'm sure. Look around.

Hey, Julie, your door's open.

Aah!

Let go of me!

Did j.r. Scare you off,

Or you just change your mind?

You're gonna kill me, aren't you? Aren't you?

Let's go. Come on.

Aah!

I understand you arrested cliff Barnes.

He's just in for questioning.

Did you know he has a telephone answering machine?

We're gonna play this for you, mr. Barnes,

Then we're gonna read you your rights,

Then we're going to arrest you for the murder of Julie grey.

How did the police get the message?

Phone tap. Who would do that?

J.r.

Are you sure of that, cliff?

Oh, yeah. He tapped my phone.

Wanted to make sure I wasn't talking to sue ellen.

Honey, how's cliff?

Well, why don't you ask your brother?

J.r.? What are you talking about?

He's the reason cliff's in jail.

Cliff's in jail because he killed somebody.

That's not true and you damn well know it, j.r.

You framed him!

We can't let all this affect us, Pamela.

First my daddy, and now cliff.

Well, I don't know if I can be married to a ewing!

What I need now is some time alone.

Please let me have that, Bobby.

Well... That's no loss.

What kind of a man are you, anyway?

Cliff could go to jail, maybe the death penalty.

Well, he deserves it. He's guilty.

You don't believe that.

It's all because you didn't want me and he did.

Captioning made possible by Warner bros.

Miss ellie...

Is Bobby gonna stay locked in his room all morning?

No, jock, but... He's very edgy.

Right now he doesn't like this family very much.

Well, I knew it was gonna turn out this way

When he married a Barnes.

Your son is in love with his wife.

Doesn't that count for anything?

Well, let him settle it, then, bring her back.

There's work to be done around here.

What about ray?

He's laid up.

What's the matter with him?

Well, he said the winch in the barn came loose.

Looks more like he got kicked by a mule.

You know, miss ellie, there's some things going on around here

That I just don't understand.

Hello?

No, liz, she's not here.

Sure, I'll give her a message.

Oh, liz, that's really crummy.

No, no, I'll tell her.

Bobby, I thought you might like this

Since you missed breakfast.

I wasn't in the mood for

A big, happy family breakfast.

It wasn't a big, happy family breakfast.

Sue ellen isn't feeling well,

And lucy seems crushed,

And your daddy hardly said a word.

Mama... If you could resign from a family

Like you do from a job,

I think I'd resign from the ewings.

What do you mean? Why?

Well, I think that should be real obvious, isn't it?

Well, not to me.

Maybe you're just getting used to it.

Seems to me that the ewings will stop at nothing

In pursuit of the almighty buck

And all the power it can bring.

Bobby, be specific.

You're talking about the Barnes family, about pam.

That's right.

First daddy destroys digger...

Now, wait a minute. I think I know digger Barnes

Better than anyone in this family.

The only one that hurt digger was digger himself.

Once a well came in, digger lost all interest.

He'd be drunk for weeks,

Leaving your daddy with all the responsibility.

Mama, are you saying that daddy's blameless,

That he didn't con digger out of things

That are rightfully his?

Bobby, digger would've ended up the way he is

Even if there'd never been a jock ewing.

If that's so, then why is cliff Barnes

Carrying out this vendetta against the ewings?

And what's j.r. Going out for cliff for?

Did j.r. Really have anything to do with

Cliff being in jail?

Or is cliff looking for a scapegoat,

Just as digger has for all these years?

Mama, you don't really think

That cliff is responsible for Julie's murder?

I don't want to think that. I like cliff.

Well, I don't think he is, either,

And I believe Pamela when she says

That somehow j.r.'s responsible for his arrest.

Don't let your problem with pam

Turn you against your own family.

I'm trying not to, mama,

But j.r.'s up to something, and now cliff is charged

With murdering j.r.'s former secretary?

It's a puzzle, mama.

I just don't have all the pieces, that's all.

Bobby, I don't like what you're saying.

Neither do I.

No, mama, neither do I.

Hello?

Good morning.

Bobby. I didn't want you to... I know.

It's not giving me much of a chance.

Well, maybe I don't want to give you a chance.

That's not the reason I called.

What is it?

Liz Craig. She called from the store.

Oh, my god.

I forgot to call... well, I'll call her.

No. No, you don't have to.

She left a message.

She got it from the top.

They want you to take a leave of absence

Till after cliff's trial.

Well.

I'm sorry, hon.

So the job goes, too.

Look, it's only temporary.

Sure.

I want to see you.

I don't know, Bobby.

I'm supposed to see cliff this morning.

What time?

At 10:30.

Well, then, I'll see you right after.

Oh, Bobby. Bobby?

Are you happy, j.r.?

I mean, truly happy?

Sue ellen, are you planning on staying in bed all day?

I could understand it

If you were having a difficult pregnancy,

But frankly, you look healthy as a horse.

You must consider this one of your great days.

You not coming down for breakfast today

Didn't look right, honey.

Sooner or later, daddy and mama

Are gonna start to ask questions.

And that worries you, doesn't it?

No, not really.

I thought it might be of some concern to you, though.

Of the 2 of us, you have the most to lose.

I just wonder if you're aware of that.

A triumph for the mighty j.r. Ewing

Who managed to imprison the man

Who bedded your wife and your mistress.

Yes, I know about Julie, j.r.

She was just one

Of a long line of your bed partners

That eventually led me to cliff...

With amazing results.

I'll be home for dinner. Try to make it.

You're jealous, aren't you?

Don't flatter yourself, sugar.

You're just another ewing possession,

Like an oil lease.

Easily disposable.

Good morning, Bobby.

Say anything more to me, j.r.,

And I'll send you to work with a split lip.

Well, you're not used to sleeping alone.

It's made you all grouchy.

I'm in no mood for your humor.

You've succeeded.

After all these months, Pamela's gone.

Don't press your luck.

Well, I don't think that Barnes girl leaving

Is much of a loss.

Look, I don't care what you think.

Now, I want to know if you set up cliff Barnes.

Now, how the hell could I do that?

I may carry a lot of weight in Dallas,

But I don't think the police force is gonna book a man

For murder on my say-so.

No, cliff Barnes set himself up.

He killed Julie.

He's going to pay for it.

Well, we know that gal meant a lot to you, j.r.

That's why we came over to offer you our condolences.

Did Julie have a family of any kind?

Not that I know of.

Who's taking care of the funeral?

I am, as soon as the coroner releases the body.

Too bad.

I know you and she were real close.

Willie Joe, jeb, will you come to the point, boys?

Well, when she was working for you,

She kept your confidential files...

The red file... Didn't she?

She had nothing.

There's a lot of stuff in there, j.r.,

Aside from old jock's will.

Stuff that might not look so good in Austin

Or Washington, D.C.

Willie Joe, I think you're hard of hearing.

I said she had nothing.

Kinda makes you wonder, though.

What was Barnes doing up there?

He had the hots for her.

Oh.

Must've been a crime of passion.

That's the way I figure it.

Hi.

Hi.

Did you see cliff?

Yeah.

How is he?

Well, you know cliff.

Always tries to wisecrack his way through everything.

I'm really frightened for him.

Pamela, you shouldn't go through this alone.

I can't come back to southfork.

Live in the same house with j.r.?

Look at him every evening across dinner?

No. Not as long as I know

He's responsible for cliff being in jail.

Pamela, that's only part of it.

I'm there, too, you know?

Mama, she loves you very much. Daddy, lucy.

Your daddy only tolerates me

Because he loves you so much.

You know, it sounds like you look for excuses to stay away.

This whole thing with cliff

Has exposed all our differences.

Now I'm confused.

About what?

About whether you love me?

No, never that.

Well, I don't see anything else.

Well, there is.

Do you believe that cliff is guilty?

I don't think he killed Julie, no.

Then what about j.r.?

Do you think he framed cliff?

I think j.r. Would do anything he could

To keep what he thinks is his...

Like I would, to keep you.

Oh, Bobby, it's not that I don't miss you.

I woke up this morning and you weren't there,

And I needed you so badly.

Well, then let's work it out together.

Pamela, we're better together.

No. It wouldn't work right now.

I'm gonna go see cliff.

Who's presiding over the examining trial?

The justice of the peace, jay Potter.

Potter. He's against everything

I stand for, you know.

Well, look, you know

I can't get a postponement on an examining trial,

But it's just the first step.

It's a bad first step.

Think I'd be better off with a grand jury later

Or Potter now?

No matter what you think of Potter, he's a fair man.

In fact, I'm sure he's gonna bend over backwards

Just to be sure that there's no prejudice.

I hope you're right.

You better learn to trust me, cliff,

Unless you want to defend yourself.

Have a fool for a client.

Yeah, I know.

Oh, there's Bobby ewing.

He must have come to bug my cell.

Hi. I'm Cole young, cliff's lawyer.

Bobby ewing. Pleased to meet you.

How's it look for him?

Well, um, not too bad.

What brings you...

What brings you to the local bastille?

I was gonna recommend a lawyer.

I see it's not necessary.

Is he any good? Yep.

His win column is longer than his loss column.

Well, is there anything I can do?

No, I think you ewings have done

Quite enough, thanks.

That's a cheap shot, cliff.

I'm not in a very noble mood.

Look, this is all gonna be real expensive.

Do you need any money?

That is the last thing in the world I would do,

Take money from a ewing.

Look, cliff, I wanna help,

Because I'd like to think of you as a friend.

Well, I'll tell you what you can do, friend,

If you want to secure my immediate release...

You go out and you find out who really killed Julie.

The amount of alcohol in her blood

Would indicate that Julie grey was not intoxicated.

Although the contents of the stomach

Reveal that she ate very little

During the 12 hours preceding her death,

It is my conclusion

That she died of massive internal injuries,

And the condition of the body indicates

That those injuries were received

As a result of a fall from a great height.

In your opinion, doctor,

She was not dead before she hit the ground?

No.

Is it possible, doctor,

That ms. Grey was pushed from the roof?

Objection, your honor.

The learned assistant district attorney

Has not established that ms. Grey was on the roof

Or anyplace else before her body was found,

Except in the alley.

Sustained.

Rephrase, mr. Sloan.

You don't have a jury to impress, just me.

Yes, your honor.

Doctor, did you note any other injuries to the body,

Injuries that may not have been caused by the fall?

Yes, there were.

Will you describe these injuries, please?

Yes.

There were ecchymosis on each arm

And a particularly bad one on the left cheek.

Yes, and what is an ecchymosis, sir, in lay terms?

That's a purple discoloration of the skin

Caused by hemorrhage.

Have you seen bruises like this before?

Oh, yes, many times.

What was their most likely cause?

Objection, your honor.

This is cause for speculation.

I'll allow this, mr. Young.

We have an expert witness on the stand.

Those bruises on her arms

Were most likely caused by someone grabbing her,

Someone strong enough to exert great pressure.

And the bruise on her face?

Oh, she was hit, hit very hard.

No more questions.

Doctor...

These bruises on the deceased's arm,

Is it possible that she could have caused them herself?

I don't see how.

Well, like this.

Supposing she was in great...

Great pain, emotional upset,

Couldn't she have hurt herself this way?

I suppose it's possible.

And the bruise on her cheek,

Isn't it also possible that she could have run into something,

A door, a cabinet in the bathroom, anything?

Yes, but... Uh, thank you.

Thank you, doctor.

You're excused.

Not bad.

For a jury, yes, but for a judge, I don't know.

Mr. Sloan, mr. Young,

Would you please approach the bench?

Cliff, is anything wrong?

No. Look, pam,

You can't worry every inch of the way.

It's probably nothing.

Remember, this is just an examining trial

To determine if there's enough evidence

To ship this all over to the grand jury

To see if they want to indict.

I understand, your honor,

But I'd like to see my client

On the street a free man as soon as possible.

Understood.

Lieutenant, after you examined ms. Grey's apartment,

Where else did you go?

To the roof. Why?

She had to fall from someplace.

The windows in her apartment were closed.

And what did you find on the roof?

On the edge of the roof we found pieces of cloth.

Our lab identified them as coming from the same fabric

The deceased was wearing.

Your honor,

We would like to mark these as people's exhibit "a."

Anything else, lieutenant?

Yes. A woman's shoe.

It matched the one remaining on the deceased's foot

When we found the body.

Mark this people's exhibit "b."

Please note the exhibit and enter it into the log.

Mr. Young.

No questions.

You're excused, lieutenant.

We found mr. Barnes' fingerprints

On the front door, the door leading to the bedroom,

And the closet of the deceased.

Would you say it appeared that mr. Barnes

Was searching for something?

Objection, your honor, calls for speculation.

Sustained.

No more questions.

Did you dust the bannister in the stairwell

Leading to the roof?

Yes.

Yes, and what did you find?

Partial prints that appeared to have been made

By the deceased.

Did you find mr. Barnes' fingerprints

In the stairwell?

No.

Thank you. No further questions.

We rode up in the elevator together.

He got off on my floor, went straight to ms. Grey's door,

Opened it and went in.

When you say "he," whom do you mean?

Him. That man right over there.

Let the record show that the witness

Pointed out mr. Cliff Barnes in this courtroom.

Will the attorneys please approach the bench?

Take me home, j.r.

No, darling, I can't.

District attorney wants me to testify.

Then I'll get a cab.

No, no. You just stay here and act like the loving wife

Everybody assumes you to be.

Look on it as a wonderful lesson in civics.

You can help lucy with her government class.

Do you solemnly swear

That the testimony you're about to give

As evidence in this trial is the truth,

The whole truth, and nothing but the truth,

So help you god?

I do.

Please be seated.

Would you please state your name and occupation

For the record, sir?

John ewing jr., president of the ewing oil company.

Thank you very much, mr. Ewing.

Now, you knew the deceased, did you not?

Yes, I did.

She was my secretary for 9 or 10 years,

Worked for my father the year before that.

And when did she leave your employ?

June or july of last year.

Did she quit or was she fired?

She resigned.

Came as quite a surprise.

Well, what was the reason for resigning?

Your honor, the defense is ready to stipulate

That ms. Grey did work for ewing oil.

However, I don't see where her resigning last june or july

Has anything to do with this case.

I object to this line of questioning.

Your honor, if I may,

I think you will find these questions

Entirely germane to this case.

You may proceed.

Thank you.

Now, mr. Ewing, why did ms. Grey resign?

She had had an affair with mr. Barnes.

It caused her considerable heartbreak.

Objection, your honor. This is ancient history.

Overruled.

Exception.

Go on, mr. Sloan.

She told you about this affair?

Yes, she did.

And was this her only reason for resigning...

Her heartbreak?

No. She had taken some papers

From our confidential file

And given them to mr. Barnes.

Objection, your honor.

This has nothing to do with this case.

Overruled.

Did ms. Grey have access

To all of ewing oil's confidential files?

She did.

She was considered part of the family.

Now, mr. Ewing, was there anything in those files

About mr. Barnes?

Objection, your honor. I see no connection.

Overruled. Exception.

Answer the question, mr. Ewing.

Well, yes, there were any number of references.

Now, could these references be considered harmful

To mr. Barnes' career?

Well, now, you have to understand.

I can't remember word for word, but...

Taken in a certain context,

Yes, they could be harmful.

So harmful, in fact,

That mr. Barnes might be willing to pay ms. Grey to get them?

Objection, your honor.

Mr. Ewing has no way of knowing that.

I withdraw the question. Sorry.

Mr. Ewing, how did you feel when you discovered

That ms. Grey had turned over your confidential files

To mr. Barnes?

Betrayed.

No... Blackmailed.

I felt that if she could blackmail me,

She could blackmail anyone.

Damn it, Cole,

Can't you keep all that old stuff about Julie out?

Could you have?

You went to her apartment.

You obviously searched the place.

You could at least have worn gloves.

I'm not in the mood for jokes.

Cliff, I'm sure they'll find out it wasn't you.

I wish I were sure of that.

It seems circumstantial.

Innuendo.

No. Not on your life.

No. Not on my life.

Sloan's very carefully laying a foundation

So he can have my answering machine tapes

Entered as evidence.

And what Julie had to say on those tapes...

Tsk...

Can sound an awful lot like blackmail.

Is the tape admissible?

We can try to stop it.

I wish there was something I could do to help.

Yeah, OK, yeah.

I haven't seen my mail in days,

And I could use a fresh shirt.

OK. Do I have time?

I have to be on the stand in a while.

I'll get it. Got a key?

Oh... I think you got to check with them.

I don't have them.

Bobby... Please hurry back.

I'm going to need you in the courtroom.

That's the best thing I've heard all day.

I'm going across the hall. I'll see you in a minute.

Thank you.

All you have to do is tell the truth.

I just don't want to do anything that might hurt you.

Just tell the truth.

Because if they found out otherwise,

Then I'd be hurt.

Well, I got your mail,

And you got a lot of shirts, but none of them clean,

So I bought you a new one.

Oh-ho-ho, thank you.

I got to say, right or wrong,

You ewings do have flair.

Letter's from Julie.

Pawn ticket, key.

Sunset pawn brokers. What is that?

That's to a briefcase or a suitcase?

Yeah.

So, I guess that's what she meant on the tape.

The judge is coming back.

Y'all better get into the courtroom.

Thank you.

Why don't you give me that,

And I'll check it out for you.

Excuse me... Yeah?

I'd like to pick this up.

I think we sold it.

Been a month.

Here it is.

Now I remember.

Good-looking dish leaves this thing

Without the key.

How am I going to sell a locked attache case,

You tell me.

How much?

That'll be $15, with interest.

Thank you.

A copy of daddy's will.

Please state your name for the record.

Pamela ewing.

Isn't that Pamela Barnes ewing?

Yes.

Speak up, please, so the court can hear you.

Yes.

Now, what is your relationship to the defendant?

He's my brother.

Now, mrs. Ewing, I would like to remind you

That you are under oath to answer my questions truthfully

At all times.

Your honor, I must object

To the assistant district attorney's

Lack of common courtesy.

That's a new one, counselor.

Your honor, mrs. Ewing is the people's witness,

Yet the assistant district attorney's

Already implied that she intends to lie under oath.

Now, I protest that,

Not only as an officer of this court

But as a citizen of the great state of Texas.

We still pride ourselves on being gentlemen.

I note your objection, mr. Young.

If I have offended the court, or mrs. Ewing,

I do apologize.

Proceed.

Thank you, your honor.

Mrs. Ewing, did you know Julie grey?

I had met her.

Did you know that your brother and Julie grey were lovers?

Objection, your honor!

The assistant district attorney

Is trying to imply a long-term relationship

Between the defendant and the deceased.

Mr. Sloan, will you be more specific as regards to time?

Well, were you aware that there was a relationship

Between your brother and Julie grey

Since her return to Dallas?

No.

Well, wouldn't you say

That your attitude towards your brother has cooled

Somewhat lately?

No, it's the same as it's always been.

You and your husband had dinner with your brother

Several nights ago, isn't that true?

Yes.

Your husband was late.

You and your brother had several minutes to talk alone.

Yes, and we did.

Well, with all due respect to the fact

That this is the great state of Texas

And you are indeed, ma'am, a lady,

We have a deposition from the waiter

That you and your brother argued

About an affair that he was having.

Yes.

Speak up, please.

Yes.

Was that affair with Julie grey?

No, it was not.

Well, then, who was it with?

Objection, your honor. The lady in question

Has nothing to do with this case.

Sustained.

Did your brother have many affairs?

I must object most strongly, your honor!

My client is a great public servant.

The assistant district attorney

Is trying to make him the subject

Of cheap tabloid headlines.

Mr. Sloan, will you drop this line of questioning?

I see no relevance.

Yes, your honor.

Now, mrs. Ewing, we do have testimony

That your brother was romantically linked

With ms. Grey prior to leaving Dallas a few months ago.

Did you know that?

Objection, your honor!

No, mr. Young, I'll allow this.

We also have testimony that this affair

Caused confidential papers to be passed

From the private files of ewing oil to your brother.

Were you aware of that?

Yes.

How were you made aware of that?

I was accused of stealing the papers.

And how was this misconception cleared up?

I discovered Julie had taken them.

You mean to say that

Julie grey was perfectly content for you to take the blame?

Yes. Until I confronted her.

What about your brother?

Uh, I'm sorry. I don't understand.

Isn't it also true that your brother

Was perfectly content for you to take the blame?

That he was willing to sacrifice his own sister

To his overpowering political ambitions?

Objection, your honor! He's leading the witness.

Mr. Sloan...

All right, your honor, I'll rephrase.

Mrs. Ewing, when you needed your brother,

Did he come to your defense?

No.

No further questions.

Mr. Young?

Uh, no questions, your honor.

You may be excused.

All rise.

The court is recessed until 9 a.m. Tomorrow.

I'm sorry, cliff.

It's OK. You said what you had to say.

Pam...

Ewing oil.

No, I'm sorry. Mr. Ewing isn't in.

Your wife on the phone.

Is j.r. In his office?

Uh, he's on the phone right now.

Ladies, you take the rest of the day off.

But, j.r... Take the day off, please.

OK.

Yeah, no foolin', dave.

I think we got cliff Barnes out of our hair permanently.

Yeah, that's right.

Now, what the hell was that all about?

You'll have plenty of time for that

When I'm through.

If you're still president of ewing oil.

You know, I think one of the biggest mistakes

I ever made in my life was letting daddy talk me into

Taking you off the road

And putting you into an office next to mine.

No, j.r., that was your second-biggest mistake.

That's your first.

What is that?

Julie was gonna set you up.

She xeroxed all your confidential files,

And she was gonna turn 'em over to cliff Barnes.

Where'd you get a hold of this?

Oh, it's all there, j.r. Everything.

Records of pay-offs to senators,

Congressmen.

Photographs of judges. It's all there.

Why, that cheatin' little tramp.

That's your red file, isn't it, j.r.?

I mean, that's everything

That you didn't think I was ready to see.

Well, you are my baby brother.

Some of this stuff's pretty gamey.

I suppose you're ready to face the realities of life.

Well, I wasn't ready for that.

It's a copy of daddy's will.

What is she doin' with that?

You know, sometimes I can never figure out

What makes a woman's mind work. I...

Yeah, j.r., it puzzled me, too.

I mean, it wouldn't have meant

A whole lot to cliff Barnes, would it?

Just part of the package.

I think the one

That would've found this most interesting is daddy.

Now, what are you talkin' about?

I'll refresh your memory.

"This codicil amends paragraph 37.

"In the event of my death,

"I hereby Grant to my son, John ewing, junior,

"Full drilling rights to all oil

"Found in section 40 of southfork ranch

As described in said paragraph."

Bobby, I can explain it.

To who? To daddy? To mama?

Well, let's not bring them into this.

J.r., this is a forgery!

It was a business maneuver.

A b... It brought an oil crew to southfork.

Crane was damn near killed on account of it!

To make matters worse,

You were tryin' to con your own mother and father.

God, j.r., how low can you get?

I was trying to make ewing oil

Into the most powerful independent in Texas.

I needed the muscle.

Do you mean that somebody else in the cartel

Knew about this?

J.r., you're the one who knew that Julie

Was gonna give these papers to cliff Barnes.

I didn't know about... don't lie to me!

Bobby, I never killed anybody in my life.

I'm not a murderer.

I didn't kill anybody, not even during the war.

If you don't believe me, you talk to dan Marsh.

He had a tap on Barnes's phone.

He brought me those tapes the next morning

After Julie was dead.

The next morning?

That's right.

Then I guess I better talk to dan Marsh.

You're not gonna say anything to daddy about this,

Are you?

Who else knew about Julie grey's phone call

To cliff Barnes?

I don't know what you're talkin' about.

Look, Marsh, I know you're working for j.r.

I wanna know who else you're working for.

That's confidential.

Cliff Barnes is on trial

For a murder he didn't commit!

Now, you better start talkin'!

Do you know how many years you can get

For an illegal phone tap?

What it does to your career

And your license when the cops find out?

It's your funeral.

Uh... Jeb ames.

Willie Joe garr.

They were payin' me to watch her.

She knew too much,

And she was gettin' close to Barnes again.

You set up cliff Barnes.

You're garbage, Marsh.

Can I help you?

I'd like to speak to mr. Ames and mr. Garr.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry. They just left.

They headed for Alaska to check on their north slope holdings.

What's your name, hon?

Alice.

Would you dial the airport for me?

Are you mr. Bobby ewing?

Yes, I am.

Well, I don't think that mr. Ames or mr. Garr

Will want to talk to you.

Well, I don't want to talk to them,

Either, darlin', but, airport, please.

OK.

What flight on they on?

They're taking the 4:00 to Chicago

And then on from there to Anchorage.

Thank you.

Airport security, please.

Larry tinsdale.

Tinsdale, security.

Larry, Bobby ewing.

Hey, mr. Ewing. How are you?

Real good, real good.

Uh, I need a big favor from you, though.

You got it.

Couple of friends of mine...

You know jeb ames and Willie Joe garr?

Well, they're supposed to be

On a 4:00 to Chicago,

And I have to speak to 'em real bad

Before they leave Dallas.

Leave it to me.

Larry, that means even if

They have to miss their flight?

No sweat.

You understand? You got it.

Alice... Why don't you buy yourself

A little more of that perfume you're wearin'?

I think that we may have a precedent here

In sly vs. Abbott, 1968, cliff.

Pam. Where's Bobby?

Well, I don't know.

I even called the office,

And there's no answer.

No answer? It's only 3:30.

I can't understand it.

Well, we just have to hope

That he's out there tryin' to find something to help us.

Cliff, is it that bad?

So you tell her, Cole.

Well, I think that Sloan has laid enough of a foundation

To introduce cliff's answering machine tape.

And if Potter hears that,

He's certain to bind cliff over to the grand jury.

Well, is that legal?

Cole will argue that it constitutes illegal wire tap.

Right.

And then Sloan will deny that

And say that it constitutes implied consent.

I knew I was being recorded.

Julie, by talking into it,

She knew she was being recorded.

Right again.

Well, you both make it sound so hopeless.

Well, it's not hopeless.

I can probably get a reversal from a trial judge.

Maybe even later on appeal.

And by that time, my darling sister,

My career in Dallas will be over.

Flight 72 to Chicago is now boarding.

Flight 591 for st. Louis...

Mr. Garr? Mr. Ames?

I wanna talk to you.

We have a plane to catch.

This won't take long.

Follow me, gentlemen.

Listen, how much longer you gonna keep us in here?

Patience, gentlemen.

Patience.

Thank you, Larry.

No trouble.

I'll call you if I need you.

I'll be right outside.

All right, Bobby, what's going on?

Bobby, we just don't have time to talk right now.

You talk to me first, boys,

And then you talk to the police.

Or I show 'em this.

What the hell are you talkin' about?

You're gonna confess to killing Julie grey.

You out of your mind?

I know I can convince dan Marsh to testify

That he gave you a tape of a phone call

That Julie grey made to cliff Barnes,

And that he gave you that tape before she died!

And he also had a tail on her.

And all because you were afraid

That she was gonna tell cliff Barnes

About j.r.'s red file.

And, to stop her from doin' just that,

You killed her.

Come on, Bobby!

You turn us in,

You'll be puttin' the heat on j.r.

You wouldn't do a thing like that.

If I had to, boys, yes, I would.

But I don't think I have to.

Let's see what I got here.

Here's a... Payment to senator needham

Made by Willie Joe garr.

Here's a check to congressman booster

For $10,000 from jeb ames.

No need to repay.

Now, isn't this funny, boys?

This is a copy of j.r.'s red file,

And you're right,

Julie grey was gonna give it to cliff Barnes,

And there's a whole list of pay-offs in there.

All of 'em made by jeb ames and Willie Joe garr.

And not one by j.r. My brother's clean.

Look, now, we didn't want to kill her.

It was an accident.

We just wanted to get her out of town.

She ran, got hysterical. She fell off the roof.

Well, then, I suggest,

As two public-spirited citizens,

That you tell the police just that story.

We'd go to jail.

Now, look, you said it was an accident.

Now, chances are you'll get off with involuntary manslaughter.

But I show 'em these documents, and it's murder one.

This case is dismissed, and the defendant is free.

I don't suppose you know anything about this.

Who me?

Yeah, 'cause I don't believe it.

The assistant district attorney

Suddenly asks for a dismissal

Because 2 other guys confessed?

Well, you were lookin' for some kind of miracle,

Weren't you?

Yeah, I gotta tell you I didn't expect this.

It's kind of hard to believe ames and garr.

Well, they obviously thought

That Julie had something on them.

What happened to the pawn ticket, Bobby?

Uh, nothing.

Uh, he must have sold whatever it was for.

It had something to do with j.r., right?

Look, cliff, you're out of trouble.

Why don't you forget it?

Forget it?

J.r. Knew something, he tipped off the police,

He set me up to take a murder rap.

No. I don't think I'm gonna forget it.

We'll get together later, and we'll celebrate, all right?

Right now, I have a little work at the office.

OK. I gotta go in there and thank Cole

And try to get him to cut my bill in half.

Then I got work to do.

Thanks for tryin'.

Bye.

Honey?

Why don't you pick me up at the hotel later?

Give me your copy of the will, j.r.

You're crippling ewing oil, you know that?

That's nonsense.

No matter what happens,

We're gonna be worth millions.

Now with jeb ames and Willie Joe garr in jail,

You're burnin' the will.

You've wrecked me with the cartel, you know that?

Stripped me of all my power.

That's wonderful, j.r.

You forge daddy's will,

Set cliff Barnes up for murder,

And all you can think about is your power.

I don't suppose daddy's gonna know about this.

With you burnin' the will,

You got nothin' to hold over my head.

I wouldn't say that, j.r.

I think I got something a whole lot better.

First time in my life

I know exactly what you're all about.

You had something to do with cliff being freed,

Didn't you?

It's nice to know your wife thinks of you

As a good guy for a change.

Where'd you go with that pawn ticket?

To the sunset pawn shop.

Would you forget it?

Cliff is out of jail, and that's all that counts.

You found something.

It doesn't matter.

We have secrets from each other.

So we have secrets.

If we love each other enough,

Then it doesn't matter, does it?

Oh, I do love you.

But?

But what?

I can't come back to southfork, Bobby.

Not after what j.r. Did to cliff.

Pamela, it's not j.r. Anymore.

Cliff's out of jail, it can't be j.r.

It's just too soon. I'm sorry.

It's the old Barnes and ewing feud again, isn't it?

Well, I love you, Pamela, and I want you back with me.

But you gotta remember I was a ewing when you married me,

And I'll be a ewing till I die.

If you think you can live with that, then you call me.
