Becky
sat on her bed at Southfork watching MTV (Genie in a Bottle played),
she took out a cigarette lighting it , she took a puff and laid back
and softly sang "if you want to be with me, baby there's
a price to pay" A knock came at the bedroom.
"Enter, its
open" Becky said bluntly.
Christopher walked
in. "Hi you ok?" he asked.
Becky sat up "yeah Im ok, I guess" she said.
"Ok thats all
I wanted to know" he replied and smiled and moved to leave.
"Wait" Becky stated "why don't sit with me for a while"
she requested patting the bed.
Christopher walked
over and sat by the bed "I can't stand this song" he said.
"Did you see
what she was wearing at those World Music Awards, the word slut comes
to mind" Becky replied laughing
"Well Im not
exactly into this kind of music, if thats what you wanna call it"
he said
Becky took another
lug on her cigarette"No, you like your RadioHead stuff don't you"
she said smiling and turned the channel using the remote.
"Great, I love
this song" she said as the Channel shifted to Nirvanas Teen Spirit
"Now this I
can appreciate" Christopher replied
Becky sarcastically bobbed her head to the music and laughed.
"You are so
different from John Ross" Becky stated.
"What do you
mean?" Christopher asked.
"Well I don't
remember the last time I had a normal conversation with him, about music
or anything" she said.
Christopher looked
down "I dont know if you should be telling me this." he replied
and looked back up at Becky.
"I know things
are bad between me and John Ross, hell Im not gonna lye, they couldn't
get much worse. I found out hes sleeping with someone else" she
said emotionless.
Christopher looked
shocked "what ? and what? You dont mind?, why are still here?"
Becky smiled "Of
course I mind, I mind a lot But despite everything I know he loves me,
he loves me in his own way...........and for some bizarre reason I love
him too"
(The song changed
to Insatiable by Darren Hayes)
"Thats not love Becky, thats not love at all" he said profoundly.
Becky looked deep into his blue eyes.
"Do you know
what love is then Christopher" she asked.
They held their
look. A moment of intensity.
"yeah"
he said softly "I think I do"
They continuing
to look into each others eyes.
The moment was suddenly
ripped apart.
"Well this
looks very cozy" John Ross said standing in the doorway.
Becky slumped back
on the bed.
"How's your
mom?" Christopher asked.
"Not good"
John Ross said throwing his jacket down.
Christopher sat
silent then got up
"Well I'll
see you guys later" he replied uncomfortably and left the room
closing the door.
John Ross walked
over to Becky. He sat by her on the bed and stroked her arm.
"Don't touch
me you asshole" she said venomously.
John Ross grabbed
her and pulled her towards him.
"Don't speak
to me like that ok?" he demanded
They looked at each
other and John Ross smiled. Becky smiled back. They began to kiss passionately
and fell back onto the bed.
Christopher sat
alone in his bedroom wondering....................what if.........................
JR
Ewing stood in the study of Southfork away from the rest of the family.
He took out a piece of paper and dialed a number.
"Evans , JR
here. Now whats going on?" JR stated bluntly.
"I have information
about your daddys death" The gruff voice replied.
"Tell me what
you know," said JR, his voice flat
"Well, sir,
Id like to tell you all I know but certain factors .. ."
JR knew he had heard
that tone of voice before. "Maybe a little fee would help."
"That would
be very kind," said Evans, relieved. It was the sort of thing Evans
had learned to say when money came up. Money had rarely been discussed
in the Evans house hold when Lee was a boy. His mother always said it
was vulgar.
"How much?"
demanded JR.
"Well, Ill
just leave that up to"
"Stop pussyfooting,
Evans," said JR, who had been discussing money, its acquisition,
and uses since he could remember.
"I was thinking
somewhere around"Evans lost his nerve; he swallowed hard"somewhere
around twenty thousand dollars."
"And for twenty
thousand dollars youll tell me who killed my daddy, how, and why?"
"No sir, thats
not in my power. If I could, I would certainly"
"What will
you tell me?" .
"Ah, Id
rather not say on the phone. If it would be convenient I could come
to Dallas and tell you face to face."
"How soon can
you get here?"
"I could get
a flight out today, only"
"Only you dont
have the fare, is that it, Lee?" said JR exasperatedly.
"Yes,"
said Evans. He felt like he was begging.
"Okay, Ill
take care of it. Get a flight and then call back. My secretary will
foot the bill"
"Thank you,
Mr. Ewing"
JR cut him short.
"Call me back when you know when youre coming."
"Okay, Ill
call you right back."
"You do that.
And Lee-"
"Yes, Mr. Ewing?"
JR spoke just above
a whisper, his voice shot through with pure menace. "I want you
to understand that I do not take kindly to someone messing with the
memory of my daddy. So if you are playing some kind of game with me,
advice I got for you is dont set foot in Texas." JR didnt
wait for a reply. He dropped the receiver onto the cradle.
At that moment Bobby
walked into the study.
"Hes here JR"
Bobby said softly.
JR's face turned
pale.
"They've brought
daddy's remains back"
At
Sue Ellens house. Cliff stood in the kitchen frying some vegetables.
"Cliff you
really didn't need to do this" Sue Ellen said.
"What? and
let you miss out on my amazing stir fry. Never" Cliff joked.
The doorbell rang.
Sue Ellen walked
over to answer it, first glancing out of the window to see a Police
Car parked in the driveway. She opened the door and two Police Officers
stood in the door way.
"Mrs Ewing?
Mrs Sue Ellen Ewing" one asked
"Yes"
Sue Ellen replied and allowed the officers in.
Cliff walked into
the living room where Sue Ellen stood with the officers.
"Mrs Ewing
we have a warrant for your arrest. Your results came back and you had
over .08% alcohol in your blood" The officer explain
"NO thats impossible"
she shouted
"Sue Ellen
don't say a word" Cliff said attempting to silence Sue Ellen
"Mrs Ewing
we are arresting you for Intoxication manslaughter under Texas Penal
Code 49.07. You
have the right to remain silent but anything you say will be taken down
and used in a court of law as evidence against you"
"Oh my god
no" Sue Ellen stated in shock.
Meanwhile
at Southfork JR made his way down the stairway. He moved slowly and
and stood at the doorway of the Dining room, the door closed.
He walked in to
find Miss Ellie standing next to a coffin of mahogony laid out in the
room. Bobby stood beside her, JR walked in silently.
Bobby and JR stood
either side of Miss Ellie as they looked over the remains of Jock Ewing.
Miss Ellie breathed in and took out Jocks famous buckle, one which represented
the strength of the man in life. She placed the buckle on top of the
casket.
She stood silent,
her sons either side of her. It was time to say a final good-bye to
her husband, the man who had created the Ewing empire.
Freeze frame.
Credits roll.
Next Time in
Dallas:
Jock is finally
laid to rest after more than 20 years, sparks fly between the Ewing
brothers when Gary returns to Southfork. The Ewing women take action
over Margaret's situation and Christopher finds himself in a fatal attraction.
