All language subtitles for Dallas S07E21

We just like to ask you some questions
about the Randolph son, Edgar.

I hoped he'd be dead by now.

I do what I have to do
to get what I want.

You really don't know
what kind of a viper you are.

Tell me the highest bid
and I'll hand you mine.

I don't see how
you can live with yourself.

Once you give up integrity,
the rest is a piece of cake.

You see what it says.

It says, the mother is Jenna Wade,
but the father is a Bobby Ewing.

Hello, Katherine,
you look gorgeous today.

[BOTH TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

- Hello, Miss Wentworth.
- Good morning.

I was hoping to catch Bobby.
Am I in luck?

Yes, but I think he's on his way out.

Oh, well, I'll just stick my head in
and say hello.

Bobby, Katherine Wentworth
is on her way to see you.

Hello, Bobby.

Well, how's Dallas' top jet setter?

Disappointed. Your secretary told me
you're on your way out.

In fact, I'm late for a meeting. I hope
it wasn't something urgent.

No, not really.

I just got back from the West Coast
and I haven't seen much of you lately.

So I thought I'd check
your impossible schedule.

See if you had time
for a former sister-in-law.

Katherine, I'd love to spend
some time with you...

...but unfortunately,
today is not a good day.

Oh, not even for lunch?

No, like I said, I'm late to this meeting.
And then I'm having lunch with Jenna.

- You can come along if you like.
- Oh, no. I don't think so.

- Why not? You'd be welcome.
- No, thanks anyway.

Well, maybe we can have lunch
some other time.

All right.

I'll be with the geologist all morning,
and then at the Oil Baron's Club for lunch.

PHYLLIS:
All right.

- Are you sure you don't wanna join us?
- I'm sure.

All right.

Would you mind if I stayed and made a call?
I remembered something I have to do.

- Use Kendal's phone, she's not busy.
- Okay, thanks.

You run on along. We'll get together
tomorrow or the next day.

All right. Bye-bye.

[PUNCHING BUTTONS]

Renaldo Marchetta, please.

Sue Ellen?

Hello, Miss Ellie.

Well, you were off pretty early
this morning.

Um... Yes, I know.

Aren't you still a little weak?
You just came out of the hospital?

Uh...

I know...

...but I had a few things
that I had to take care of.

I see.

By the way, Pam called
and she's gonna stop by and see you.

Hi, Sue Ellen. How are you feeling?

Much better, thanks.

- I just talked to Peter and--
- He called here?

No, no, I called him.

See, I've got this great idea
I wanna tell him about.

Lucy, I think we ought to let Sue Ellen
go upstairs and rest.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Yeah, you do look kind of tired.

I am, Lucy.

You know, that Peter is a strange guy.

Why? What did he do?

I don't know.

When I called him, he let the phone ring,
I guess around 10 times.

When he finally answered the phone,
he barely said a word.

Maybe he just wanted to be alone.

Well, I'm not gonna let him be alone.

Because I've got this great idea
and I'm gonna get him involved in it.

[SIGHS]

I'll see you later.

Sue Ellen, let me walk you upstairs.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

WOMAN [OVER INTERCOM]:
J-R- Ewing is here to see you-

All right, ask him to come in.

Let me guess.

You're in the neighborhood
and wanted to try one more time...

...to get me in that offshore deal.

Heh. No.

No, I just wanna make sure
you're still the same Marilee I used to know.

The old Marilee would never
have gotten herself involved...

...with anybody
as unreliable as Cliff Barnes.

How do you know about that?

[SNICKERS]

Honey, I make it my business
to know things like that.

Oh, come on, Marilee. You're too smart
to take him on as a partner.

It's too big a deal, you'll fumble it...

...and you just might find
yourself losing Stonehurst.

I've seen the geologicals,
they look amazingly good.

Yeah, I've seen them too.

Nevertheless, offshore drilling is playing
oil man's roulette, honey.

Now, you know as well as I do.

You can pour millions of dollars down those
holes before you see one barrel of crude.

[SIGHS]

I'm aware of the risks.

Then why are you making it worse for
yourself by taking on a half-wit as partner.

Did you ever ask yourself
why he couldn't get anybody to join him?

Even his sister and her boyfriend
got more sense than that.

I wanna know something.

How did you learn about Cliff and me?

Our partnership was supposed
to be a secret.

[SIGHS]

Marilee, nobody cares
who you take to bed.

But don't mix all that up with business.

[SIGHS]

You heard about that too.

Well, second-- Third-hand maybe.

Son 01--

You gotta understand a man
like Barnes.

He's had so little success in life
that when he lands anything...

...he's gonna let the whole world
know about it.

You seem awfully interested
in breaking me away from this deal.

Why? Just because you hate him
so much?

No.

It's just that I figure someday
in the future...

...we're gonna do each other some good.

But if you go into partnership with him,
you're not gonna belong in the oil business.

Well, I've had my say,
the rest is up to you.

I appreciate your advice.

Oh, you can do better than that.

You can act on it.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[SIGHS]

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello?

- Donna, it's Ellie.
DONNA [OVER PHONE]: Oh, hi, Miss Effie-

I was thinking of making chili
for dinner tonight.

I wonder if you and Ray
were free to come.

Well, we would love to,
but we're just on our way to the airport.

I didn't know you were going away.

It was kind of a spur
of the moment-type thing.

We're going to Maryland.

There's some people that we need
to talk to.

- I see. Well, have a safe trip.
- You take care.

- Bye.
- Bye-bye.

- Honey, we better get going.
- I'm ready.

- You've got the tickets.
- They're right there, big boy.

Offshore deal.
Have you talked to Mark yet?

Yes.

[SIGHS]

Yeah, I discussed it with him, Cliff.

- He is still not interested.
- Uh-huh.

[SIGHS]

What about you?

[CHUCKLES]

I don't know.

Look, Pam, I know I'm putting you under
a lot of pressure right now.

The point of it is, the time's getting
close for me. I gotta have an answer.

It's so risky, especially just the two of us
going into it by ourselves.

It's not just us. I told you, I have a person
who's willing to be a partner.

You didn't tell me who.

I can't, but there are reasons
I can't reveal who I'm working with.

But I'm telling you, it's as solid a deal
as you ever wanna find.

Well...

- Maybe that makes a difference.
- You see.

I mean, not everybody thinks
it's quite as risky as you do.

I want you to come in with me.

Come on, sis. Let's do this together.

[DOOR OPENS]

KATHERINE:
Hello.

- Katherine? Hello.
- Hi.

Damn it.

- Well, am I interrupting something?
- Yeah.

- No, we were just finished.
- I don't have an answer.

- Cliff, I need a couple of days.
- Yeah, but--

Cliff, it you want me to do this with you,
I need some time to think about it.

[PANTING]

[SIGHS]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[SIGHS]

Hi.

Lucy, I told you
I didn't wanna see anybody.

Well, I told you that I had a great idea
and I wanna tell you about it.

- Why are you all wet?
- I was running.

You were running in here?
That's like swimming laps in a fish bowl.

- Lucy, I'm really not in the mood for jokes.
- Well, good, neither am I.

Because I have a business proposition
that just might interest you.

- What are you talking about?
- My agent, Blair Sullivan, called me.

Remember I told you I was gonna
start modeling again.

Well, anyway, he called
and he wants me to do a shoot.

And they need a young, handsome,
athletic-type guy to pose with me.

And I suggested you.

No. No, I'm no model.

Well, you could be.
It doesn't take any brains.

No, find somebody else.

[SCOFFS]

Why, what are you gonna do?

Spend the rest of your life jogging
on this postage stamp?

Oh, come on, Peter.
Do it with me. It'll be fun.

Really...

...I'm just not interested.

What's the matter with you today?

- Why are you so depressed?
- Who said I was depressed?

Ha. You never really are full of laughs,
are you?

Come one, Peter, you know where
the shoot is gonna be? At Southfork.

So?

So, John Ross will be around.

Oh, you know how much
he adores you.

You'd really look like a hero to him.

Besides, the job pays,
and I know you could use the extra cash.

Oh, come on, at least consider it.

Okay, I'll consider it.

[EXHALES]

It's a good thing
I didn't ask you to do anything hard.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

What are you thinking?

If six months ago, someone had told me
I'd be sitting in this lovely restaurant...

...with a man that I've always loved,
I would have said he was hallucinating.

Well, today feels wonderful to me too.

I'm afraid to pinch myself. I might wake up
and find out that I'm dreaming.

[BOTH LAUGH]

That's what Charlie said last night.

Bobby, do you have any idea how much
she loves the horse you bought her?

I'm glad.

How much she loves you.

Almost as much as her mother does.

Let's hope it stays that way forever.

[CHUCKLES]

Excuse me. I hate to interrupt
but there is a gentleman here to see you.

He said it's important.

What gentleman?

It's all right, Dora Mae, I know him.

Who is it, Jenna?

Hello, Jenna.

It's been a long time.

Bobby, (his is Renaldo Marchetta.
This is Bobby Ewing.

Yes, the famous Bobby Ewing.

Jenna used to talk about you,
when she and I were married.

Is that a fact?

Yes.

May I join you?

Sit down.

Thank you, I won't keep you long.

Why are you in Dallas, Renaldo?

I was looking for you.

Why?

I need to talk to you about something.

You and I have nothing to talk about.

In fact we do...

...but this is not the time
and it is certainly not the place.

Why don't you invite me to your home
tonight? It would be easier there.

No, Charlie will be there
and I really don't want her to see you.

If you have to discuss something
I can step to the bar for a minute.

No, Bobby, please stay.

Actually, this has something
to do with you too.

And I would like very much for you
to be there when we talk.

Maybe tomorrow
when Charlie's in school, hmm?

It's important.

All right.

Good.

I will come to your home,
say, about 9:00.

I know where it is.

What do you think he wants,
after all this time?

I don't know.

Would you take me back
to the boutique?

- Well, sure, but--
- I wanna go right now.

Fine, come on.

Oh, there's Grandma.

Hello, Christopher.

PAM:
There you go.

Hi, sweetheart.

Oh.

- Hello, Miss Ellie.
- Hello, Pam.

- How are you?
- I'm just fine. How are you?

- Well, I'm fine.
- How's my big boy, huh?

PAM:
Hungry, I bet.

Hasn't he had his lunch?

No, I thought his grandma might want
to make him something.

Well, I already have something.
Let's go into the kitchen.

- Come on, sweetheart.
- Are you hungry? Huh?

- Come on.
- Yeah.

[PAM LAUGHS]

[WOMAN LAUGHS]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Hello, Edgar.

You were late
so I decided to start without you.

I wouldn't eat with you anyway.
I'm only here because you demanded it.

Well, I appreciate your sentiments.

- Would you like a drink first or to order?
- Neither. I'm not staying.

- The gentleman's pressed for time.
- Oh, that's perfectly all right.

Well, what is it?

[COUGHING]

[CLEARS THROAT]

Well, I think I got a fishbone
caught in my throat. Ahem.

Let me see, what'd I wanna talk about--
Oh, yeah.

I got to thinking, it's getting very close
to auction time for those offshore leases.

And it occurred to me, I ought to find out
who I'm gonna be bidding against.

So, who filed intention to bid?

Edgar...

...who filed intention to bid?

Intentions to bid were filed...

...by Westar...

...Four State...

...your company...

...and Barnes/Wentworth.

There, that wasn't so hard, was it?

My second question is:

Who has actually placed bids?
Which one of those?

Everyone bid but...

...Westar...

...Barnes...

-...and Ewing.
- All right.

Next, I want a phone call from you
when Westar and Barnes make their bid.

We'll have a meeting...

...and you tell me what the highest bid is
and I'll hand you mine.

I don't see how you can live
with yourself.

Oh, it's not hard, you'll see.

Once you give up integrity,
the rest is a piece of cake.

[SNICKERS]

Howdy.

- Hi.
- This is the Randolph place, isn't it?

Sure is.

Hi, I'm Donna Krebbs.

- Yes, I remember you.
- You do?

[CHUCKLES]

Sure do.

Seen you come for dinner and them
parties the Randolphs used to have.

Gosh, that was a long time ago.

You,uh...

You used to come up here with an older
man, your father I guess he was?

No, that was my first husband.

He passed away
and I'm married to Mr. Krebbs now.

- I'm Percival.
- I'm Ray.

- Nice to meet you, sir.
- Likewise.

The reason that we came here is,
well, Edgar is a friend of ours.

He's having some problems
and we really wanna help.

Oh, he, uh-- Huh.

He had a problem along time age too.

Got him sent up to sanitarium.

Yes, sir, we heard about that.

Do you know why?

We came by the sanitarium
on the way here. Saw the doctor.

He remembered Edgar
but he didn't wanna talk about the case.

Well, I don't know too much about it.

Oh, I heard stuff about what Edgar
did and all...

...but I don't know nothing for sure,
so I wouldn't wanna say.

- Well, I think that's very honorable but--
- Percival, you see, the thing is--

We really are trying to help Edgar.

If we could find out the truth about
what happened, it would be very useful.

Well, probably the only one who'd
remember would be Mrs. Mulgravy...

...but I'm not sure she'd talk to you.

Mulgravy?

Oh, she'd know, all right.

I mean, she was the one involved,
wasn't she?

This Mulgravy, does she live here?
Is she a neighbor?

Oh no, no, no. She was a housekeeper
at the time all the trouble happened.

But she moved away
over to Hyattsville, I believe.

- Where is that from here? Is it far?
- No, no, no. That's not far.

Up route one, in the direction of Baltimore.
It's a little town.

I guess you could ask anybody
and they'd know where she lived.

Well, thank you,
and it was nice to see you again.

- Good seeing you.
- Thank you.

- Appreciate your help. Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- Goodbye.
- Bye.

It hasn't been an easy year
for us any of us, Miss Ellie.

You certainly had your troubles.

So have you.
Losing your mother and the divorce.

You know, there were so many times
I just wanted to call you and talk.

Well, why didn't you?

I don't know.

I guess I felt a little awkward because
I'm seeing Mark Graison.

Hmm.

I guess I'm sort of responsible
for that, aren't I?

- You met him with me.
- Yes.

- Hello, Pam.
- Bobby, hi.

I didn't know you were gonna
stop by today.

Well, she came to see Sue Ellen
and I kept her.

It's been a long time
since we've had a real talk.

Well, did you bring Christopher?

You don't think I'd let her come without
him, do you? He's upstairs in the nursery.

He's been running a temperature.
Thought I'd let him sleep for a while.

- Maybe I'd better get him.
- Well, can you stay a little while?

Well, I guess I can. Mark's out of town.

Well, then, why don't you have
dinner with us?

I really should get Christopher home
before then.

Well, at least stay for a drink,
just a small one.

All right.

I'll have a small sherry.

BOBBY:
Mama, anything for you?

No. I still have my coffee.

Well, how about this?

Hello, Pam.

Weren't you here a month ago?

You're not gonna make it a habit
out of this, are you?

J.R., knock it off.

Well, Bob, it's just a joke.

- Well, it's not very funny.
- J.R., are you gonna join us for a drink?

No, no. Let those two reminisce.
I'm not too much on nostalgia.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, I can see he's as gracious as ever.

Some things never change.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

[SIGHS]

Good morning.

Good morning.

Looks like you didn't sleep
much last night.

You're really worried about seeing
Naldo, aren't you?

[SIGHS]

I thought I was rid of him for good.

What I don't understand is
why he wants to talk to me.

Unless he's changed drastically,
he wants something.

I just don't know what it is.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

I'll get it.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Jenna.

It's a lovely apartment.
So light, so feminine.

You always had such marvelous
taste, Jenna.

Let's get on with it.
Why are you here, Naldo?

Well, you see.
a very strange thing happened.

I was in Italy recently,
visiting my parents...

...and suddenly, I realized
that these two elderly people...

...had never even seen
their granddaughter.

- What granddaughter?
- Charlotte, my daughter.

- She is not your daughter.
-01 course she is, Jenna.

At any rate...

...to bring her to Italy, I needed a passport.
To get a passport, a birth certificate, so I--

You've got Charlie's birth certificate?

Yes, in Home where she was born.

And imagine my surprise
when I looked at it.

Do you see what it says?

RENALDO:
It says, the mother is Jenna Wade...

...but the father is a Bobby Ewing.

Jenna, then I really am
Charlie's father.

- Bobby--
- No, that's not possible.

What do you mean it's not possible?
It's my name on the birth certificate.

Look at the birth date.

BOBBY:
“November.“

November, exactly.

Almost one year
after Jenna and I sailed for Italy.

Almost one year, after the two of you
last saw each other.

You should be honest with him, Jenna.

Admit it to him
who the father of the girl is.

Jenna...

...one of these is a lie.

Which is it? The name or the date?

Get out of here.

Get out of here.
Both of you, get out of my house.

RAY:
Good morning.

Morning.

DONNA:
Good morning.

- We're looking for a Sara Mulgravy.
- That's my mother.

I'm Barbara Mulgravy. Can I help you?

We'd like to talk to your mother,
if it's all right.

Well, sure, she's around back. Come on.

BARBARA:
Mother.

There's some people here to see you.

SARA:
I've got my hands full, Barbara.

Send them back here.

She's hanging the wash.

There she is.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

DONNA: Hello.
- Hi.

Don't think we don't have
a clothes dryer, we do.

I just think clothes smell better
when they're hanging outside.

DONNA:
Ha-ha. So do we.

Well, what can I do for you?

Well, first, I'm Donna Krebbs
and this is my husband, Ray.

- Hello.
- How do you do?

We understand that you used to work
for the Randolphs.

What if I did?

Well, we'd like to talk about it.
If that's okay.

Who sent you here?

Nobody. We came on our own.

I don't know what you want from me.

We'd just like to ask you some questions
about the Randolph son, Edgar.

I hoped he'd be dead by now.

- Mrs. Mulgravy, Edgar is in trouble.
- Trouble?

[LAUGHS]

Oh, I'll tell you who's in trouble.

The whole world's in trouble with animals
like that running around on the streets.

Oh. He should have died for what he did.

You know, if my husband were alive then,
he would have taken care of it.

But no, he didn't even go to jail,
that one.

Randolphs took care of that
with all their money, their important friends.

They covered up the whole thing
like it never happened.

- By putting him in a sanitarium.
- That's right.

Nice, cozy sanitarium with good food
and a pretty garden to stroll around in...

...so he wouldn't have to remember
what he did to people.

What is it that he did?

But I remember. Oh, I remember.

I'll never forget that day as long as I live.

Oh, Lord.

Why didn't I have a gun in my hand
when I went into that room.

[SOBBING]

KATHERINE:
Then the plan worked.

Just like you said it would.

Well, now, that's fantastic.

Are you all right?
The money is all there, isn't it?

Yes. Yes, it's all here.

You seem strange all of a sudden.

It must be from seeing Jenna again.

I had forgotten how beautiful she is.

I have known many women...

...more than I can remember...

...but she is the only one I ever loved.

I realized when I saw her
that I could fall in love with her again.

Then, why don't you do
something about it?

Like what?

Fight for her. Win her back.
The way I'm trying to win Bobby.

No.

I lost Jenna...

...years ago.

Well, now, maybe not.

Listen, I'm very grateful for all your help.

If you'd like to try again for Jenna,
I'd be happy to subsidize you for a while...

...you can take her to some nice places
and maybe even back to Home.

You think you can buy anybody,
don't you?

Well, Jenna is one person you can't.

Look, I was only trying to be nice.

[SCOFFS]

Oh.

If there had been a chance
that she still cared...

...I destroyed it by what I just did.

[CHUCKLES]

Not much of a fighter, are you?

I have no illusions about myself...

...unlike you.

Me?

You really don't know
what kind of a viper you are.

I do what I have to do
to get what I want.

Well, you will never get Bobby Ewing
any more than I will get Jenna Wade.

We are cut out of the same dirty cloth,
Miss Wentworth.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, since you're being so noble...

...I can't imagine you'd wanna keep
this money.

After all, look what you had
to do to earn it.

I didn't say I was noble.

I just know what I am...

...which is more than you can say
for yourself.

[CHILDREN CHATTERING
AND LAUGHING]

BOBBY:
Hey, Charlie.

- Bobby, hi. What are you doing here?
- Hi.

I thought I'd come out
and pick you up from school myself.

- Convince you to come to the ranch.
- We'll take Darius out for a ride?

- If you think you can talk him into it.
- Oh, great, Bobby. Sure.

Come on. Hop in.

[SIGHS]

Maybe I'd better call mom first.
So she won't worry.

Oh, it's all right, honey, I left a message
for her. She'll know right where you are.

You know, Charlie...

...Christopher is my only child.
I don't have a little girl.

But if I did,
I'd want her to be just like you.

You're everything I'd ever want
in a daughter.

Well, then it's simple. Because you're
everything I want in a daddy.

All you have to do is many Mommy,
then we can both have what we want.

I'm gonna have to teach you
how to saddle that horse of yours.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Thanks for coming over.

Well, you sounded like you needed
to talk again.

Hah. What I don't need is Cliff Barnes.

- That's what I wanted to tell you.
- Mm-hm.

I'm taking your advice.
I'm pulling out of that offshore deal.

That is the best move
you could ever make, Marilee.

How dare he jeopardize my position
with the cartel.

Cartel?

Of course, that's why I wanted
to keep my involvement silent.

I agreed with Andy and Jordan
to stay out of that deal.

Then I joined Cliff by myself.

Mm-hm.

Yeah, a partner with a loose mouth
is a dangerous thing.

If Jordan and Andy ever found out
about that, they'd hit the roof.

I'd like to destroy that little worm.

But I am sure as hell
gonna pull out of that deal.

Say, tell me, did you two put
anything down on paper?

- Nothing yet.
- Good.

Now, I think we could teach him a lesson
he should have learned years ago.

Hold him off until after the auction.

And then, don't sign anything at all.

Are you saying.
pull out after the auction?

That's right.

After the winner has been declared.

[CHUCKLES]

All right. Come on out.

Oh, Bobby, thank you so much.
It was such a great afternoon.

Well, I had a good time too.

- Come on, let's go.
- No.

CHARLIE: Aren't you coming in?
- No. No.

Why not?

Well, I can't right now.

- But can I tell you something?
- Sure.

I just want you to know...

...that I love you.

I love you very much.

I love you too, Bobby.

All right. Go on. Go on inside.

Hi.

Bobby didn't wanna come in tonight.
Why? Is anything wrong?

[CAR DOOR CLOSES]

Dinner's ready.

Come on, it's gonna get cold.

[ENGINE STARTS]

[PHONE RINGS]

I'll get it.

- Hello.
- Hello, J.R., this is Katherine.

Well, hello, Katherine.
How you doing?

KATHERINE: Is Bobby there?
I'd like to speak to him, please.

Well, you're in luck, honey.
he's just fixing to leave, hang on.

Katherine Wentworth for you.

- Hello, Katherine.
- Hella, Bobby, how are you?

I'm fine, why? What's up?

Well, we talked the other day
about getting together, maybe for lunch?

Katherine, I have a lot of work
to do today.

I don't even think
I'm gonna be having lunch.

Oh, is something wrong?
You sound depressed.

No, I'm just a little down
about something, I guess.

I'll call you in a couple of days,
all right?

Sure. Listen, if you need a sympathetic
shoulder, mine's available.

- Thanks. Bye.
- Bye, Bobby.

[REPLACES PHONE RECEIVER]

I didn't know you were seeing
Katherine Wentworth these days.

I am not seeing her, J.R.
She is a friend.

Ah.

Nothing wrong between you and Jenna,
I hope.

Nothing that I care to talk about.

Well, I don't mean he nosey,
Katherine is a pretty lady.

I wish I'd gotten to know her
a little better myself.

I'll see you at the office.

- Hi.
- Hi.

We feel very uncomfortable
imposing on you like this...

...especially after we upset
your mother so much.

It's all right. As I told you on the phone,
she's out this morning.

Can I offer you some coffee
or some tea?

- No thanks, not for me.
- No. No, thanks.

Why don't we talk out here?

Thank you.

I guess you know what it is
we wanna talk about.

Yes, Edgar Randolph.

If I had known that, I could have warned
you not to speak to my mother.

The whole thing still triggers
a lot of reactions for her.

We sure found that out in a hurry.

That's why we wanted
to talk to you.

Well, I suppose, I've come to understand it
a little better than she does.

My work's in research psychology.

Miss Mulgravy--

Actually, it's doctor,
but you can call me Barbara.

Barbara.

Look, I've known Edgar Randolph
for years...

...as a fine upstanding man.

Two weeks ago, he tried to kill himself
because somebody was blackmailing him.

They found out about his past.

We've been trying to help him
and up until now...

...we've been stuck.

Why don't we sit down? Hmm?

Uh-- Look, as awful as it may be...

...can you tell us what it is Edgar
did to your mother?

My mother?

He didn't do anything to her.

It was me that Edgar took into that room.

DONNA:
That was over 20 years ago.

That's right, I wasn't even
10 years old yet.

Edgar tried to molest me and my mother
walked in and caught him.

You're saying Edgar Randolph
is a child molester.

I'd rather put it that he had
some adolescent problems that--

It doesn't matter what you call it,
it's still the same.

"That were eventually resolved.

Look, forgive me.
I'm not sure I know quite how to say this...

...but from everything that I've read--

I mean, my impression is that a child...

...who goes through something like this
could be scarred for life.

Uh...

Well, it doesn't seem
to have affected you.

He didn't rape me.

There was no violence.

But still, it had to be
a horrifying experience.

Well, the honor came later.

It was true that for a long time,
I was a pretty shattered little girl.

But with the help of some very
caring people, I managed to get over it.

Did you seek psychiatric help?

I couldn't have made it through
without it.

Now you're all right?

Well...

[CHUCKLES]

I suppose I sometimes wonder
why it is I'm in my 30s...

...and still living with my mother.

[DOG BARKING]

But, yes.
I think I've resolved my problems.

What about Randolph?

Well, his problem may be
a little different than it seems.

The reason I didn't wanna
label him a child molester...

...is because in the medical sense
of the word, he isn't one.

Even though--

Even though, what we were doing
in that room because of our age...

...could be considered legally
to be child molestation.

You see, that kind of behavior
is very difficult to cure.

I mean, some can modify it
with psychotherapy.

But there's a habit pattern.

The desires rarely leave them.

[SCOFFS]

Well, I just don't understand this.

If Randolph's not a child molester,
then what the hell is he?

Well, at the time,
he was a very confused adolescent.

You see, even though
he was in his late teens...

...he never really had any experience
with anything.

That was probably due to the fact
that his parents...

...were rather long on discipline
and short on love.

And that's an over-simplification.

Well, our kids have lousy home lives...

...and they don't take their problems
out on little girls.

It's a horrible stigma.

So horrible that apparently he preferred
suicide to having his secret known.

Look...

...what happened took place
a long time ago.

Edgar is married. He has a family.

He's lived an exemplary life since then.

If you're really his friend...

...I don't think you should let his past
destroy your relationship.

CLIFF:
Let me tell you, that was some meal.

I couldn't even finish it.

Don't let Cliff know,
he'll make me take it home in a bag.

[WOMEN LAUGH]

Afton, I told you, cheap jokes
are out of style this year.

AFTON:
Oh.

- Goodbye, Mr. Barnes, come back real soon.
- I'll do it. I promise you.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Isn't that Bobby?

CLIFF:
Yeah, that's Bobby.

He doesn't look like
he's celebrating anything.

[CLIFF CHUCKLES]

Hey, Bobby I wouldn't be crying
in my booze if I were you...

...because they water down the drinks
enough around here.

Cliff, if you don't mind,
I just wanna be by myself.

No, I don't mind. We're just leaving.

Hi, Bobby.

Well, what do we got here,
a little family reunion?

I think Bobby would like to be alone.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

I really think we should leave.

Pam.

I think something's wrong with him.

Well, I can see that.

Maybe you should stay.
He looks like he could really use a friend.

Pam, I don't think we should impose.

Maybe you're right.

Bobby.

Hello, Jenna.

I've been waiting for you.

I see that.

Miss Ellie offered to sit with me
but I wanted to wait alone.

I owe you an explanation on Charlie.

Yes, I think you do.

You can start by telling me
who her real father is. Is it me?

No.

Okay.

Now, you can tell me why my name
is on the birth certificate.

Can we sit down?

Sure.

[SIGHS]

Bobby, I married Naldo on an impulse...

...after running away from you.

I became pregnant almost immediately.

It didn't take me long to realize
that I made the biggest mistake of my life.

I gave up the man that I really loved...

...for this...

For this person.

So I left him.

A few months later Charlie was born.

I don't know why, but suddenly
lying there in the maternity ward...

...I become very frightened
that somehow Naldo...

...who couldn't care less
about children...

...would one day come back
into my life and hurt me.

He was in Home.

He was an Italian citizen, I wasn't.

And I didn't know how well the Italian laws
would protect me.

So you listed me as the father...

...even though you were still
legally married to him?

Yes. I listed you because
I didn't want him to be father of record.

And then one day come back
and have future claim on my baby.

Jenna, didn't it occur to you that Charlie
was gonna grow up someday.

She might see her birth certificate...

...and wonder why she's listed
as Charlotte Ewing?

I wasn't thinking that far ahead.

I was scared.
I was doing what I had to do.

Besides...

[SIGHS]

...the way things were going between
the two of us recently...

...I was hoping that she would become
Charlotte Ewing.

And if we had gotten married...

...you'd have gone
on lying to me forever.

I never lied. I never said she was yours.

You let me go around for years
thinking she could be.

So what? What would have been gained
by your knowing that she wasn't.

My God, Bobby, do you love her any less
than you did before?

Do you love Christopher any less
because he's not your natural son?

What bothers me, Jenna...

...is that you just kept leading me on.

I never meant to. It wasn't something
that I consciously planned to do.

[CRYING]
I know how much the truth...

...means to you.

How important it's been
to you all your life.

But I acted as I did because I loved you.

And I was afraid I'd lose you again
it I'd told you the truth.

Bobby...

...if you can accept that...

...I'll be here for you...

...but it's up to you.
