Original subtitles

Look, whoever killed Naldo also killed Veronica.

Don't you wanna see that person brought to justice?

I have children to think of. A husband.

I didn't go to bed with anybody else.

I don't care who you sleep with just as long as it's not me.

- We were so close. - Yeah, I know.

Oh, Mandy, I haven't felt like this in years.

Oh, JR...

We, the jury, find the defendant--

- We're ready. LUCY: Great, come on.

- Thanks for taking them to school, Lucy. - Oh, it's my pleasure.

After I drop them off, Christopher can help me buy shoes.

- Why can't I go to court? - That's no place for you.

- See you. - We don't have much time, Jenna.

- I know, I'm just gonna see Bobby out. - Don't worry about me.

Do you think you'll be in Los Angeles long?

As long as it takes to convince Veronica's sister to testify.

- Do you think you can? - I have to, honey.

She's too important a witness to lose.

- Don't be too long. - I'll be back as fast as I can.

Bye.

The stewardess said we should be landing in Tokyo in about an hour.

Hmm. And then what?

We have a two-hour layover between planes.

Something like that.

I was just wondering, why are we rushing back?

- I mean, have you ever been in Japan? - No, I haven't.

Hmm.

Neither have I, but I've always wanted to.

So instead of changing planes right away, why don't we go into Tokyo?

- No, I don't think so. - Why not?

You need a little time to unwind. We could walk around, do a little shopping.

Shopping?

Sue Ellen, you've already bought half of Hong Kong.

You don't have any more room in your suitcases.

So I'll buy some more suitcases. Come on, just a couple of days?

I'd really like to stay.

Well, you did come all this way for me.

I wouldn't be much of a friend if I turned you down.

- So you'll stay for a while? - Okay. But not for long.

Okay, couple of days, I promise.

J.R.: What's up? You sounded kind of worried on the phone.

CAHILL: Yes, sir. We got a problem.

There's an oil leak over at Ewing 17.

Probably one of the cement casings is broke.

Yeah, that can happen. Those are old wells.

The thing is, there's an ail seepage into the drinking water supply.

The Texas Energy Commission came in and shut the field down.

- The whole field? - Yes, sir.

There can't be more than one or two wells involved.

I know that, and I told the TEC man that, but he wouldn't listen.

He wants the whole field shut down until we can locate the leak and fix it.

I never heard of shutting down a whole field just because of a couple of leaky wells.

You could fix it in one, two days, couldn't you?

That's hard to say till we get in there and see exactly what the problem is.

It could be more than one or two wells. But anyway, it wouldn't take too long.

All right, good. You get down there.

If they shut us down for a few days, it's gonna cost me a lot of money.

- Sly, get Nathan Billings on phone for me. - Nathan Billings?

Yeah, the new chairman for the Texas Energy Commission.

Get down there and find those leaks and fix them.

- I want frequent reports. - I'll keep you informed.

All right, good.

- Ahem. Got him yet? - In @ minute sir.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

- Yeah? SLY: Mr. Billings is on line two, J.R.

Hello, Nathan Billings, this is J.R. Ewing here.

BILLINGS: Yes, Mr. Ewing?

I understand your commission shut down one of my fields.

- Yes, sir, we had to. J.R.: Well, I'd like to talk to you about that.

Could I come over to your office?

- It you like. - All right. I'll see you in about an hour.

Uh, Dr. Finch, if a person were chloroformed...

...what condition would he or she be in just prior to losing consciousness?

Most likely very disoriented.

Could that disorientation last, say, 10 or 15 seconds?

Well, yes.

Now, during the course of this trial, it has been suggested that the defendant...

...was vitally concerned with locating her daughter.

And that she would never kill Mr. Marchetta because he was the only link to her child.

Now, my question to you, sir, is this:

If Miss Wade had been chloroformed before passing out...

...is it possible that she was too groggy to think about her daughter?

- Yes, I'd say that's possible. - Thank you, sir.

No further questions.

Mr. Demarest, your witness.

Dr. Finch, how long does it take for chloroform to work?

That would depend on the amount of exposure.

Well, then it's possible my client could have lost consciousness immediately?

Yes.

In which case, it would be very difficult for her to fire a gun.

That's correct.

All right, now let's assume that she didn't lose consciousness immediately.

Let's just assume...

...that she was disoriented, even 10, 15 seconds.

If that were the case, how could she know what was going on?

I'm not sure that I understand that question.

The question is, if Miss Wade was so disoriented...

...she could forget about her daughter...

...who, by the way, was the only reason she stayed with Marchetta.

Then how could she have the presence of mind...

...to know that he was attacking her and fight him off?

- I don't know. - Neither do ll.

No further questions, Your Honor.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

BILLINGS: Yes. WANDA: Mr. Ewing is here, Mr. Billings.

Just a moment.

You may show him in please, Wanda.

Nathan, I appreciate your seeing me so quickly.

- Mr. Ewing. - Please call me J.R.

- Can I get you anything? - No, no. Not tor me.

That will be all, thank you. Come in, please, sit down.

- Now, about my field. - Yes, sir.

I'm sorry the commission had to shut you down.

Well, I'm sorry too, but I understand it had to be done.

My foreman tells me that we're leaking oil into the drinking water supply.

- That could be a real health problem. - Yes, it could.

I wanted you to know that my crews are gonna be working...

...day and night to repair the wells that are at fault.

And to make sure that the other ones don't act up either.

- Well, I'm pleased you feel that way. - How else could I feel?

Water pollution is a serious threat to the environment.

Yes, it is.

Let me ask you a question now.

This leak we have now is gonna be relatively easy to fix...

...but what if something similar happened on my offshore rigs?

That'd be a hell of a lot harder to fix. Now, would you still shut us down?

If the environmental people knew about it, I'm afraid I'd have to.

Yeah.

You know, Nathan, this country needs more men like you in the government.

Men who are willing to put themselves on the line.

Well, I appreciate your saying that.

Incidentally, is there any truth to the rumor...

...that you might be running for the state senate next year?

- I have been considering it. - Good, good.

Oh. golly, I gotta get going.

I'd like to discuss this with you a little further.

- Are you free for dinner tonight? - I'm due at my in-laws for dinner.

- But I could meet you earlier. - Oh, all right.

- How about the Qil Barons' Club, say 5:00? - I'll be there.

I wanna thank you tor being so understanding.

I wanna thank you tor doing such an outstanding job.

See you tonight.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Cliff? Leo Wakefield's here. He'd like to see you.

Yeah, show him in.

Mr. Wakefield?

Cliff, if you don't mind, I'd like to take an early lunch.

I have a few errands to run.

[CHUCKLES]

- Go ahead. - Thanks.

Cliff, I've gone over this deal you wanna make with Jordan Lee...

...and, frankly, I'm not very impressed.

- What's wrong with the deal? - Well, nothing per se.

But it's another ail deal and I think you're pumping too much already.

If I don't pump oail, I don't sell. If I don't sell, I don't make money.

The price of oil is dropping, you know that.

We don't get nearly as much for it now as we did in the past.

I think you should diversify.

Diversify. Into what?

Five-and-dime stores? Ladies' shoes?

No, there are a million things that could bring us a strong profit.

Where you wouldn't be subject to all the ups and downs of the business.

I'm an oilman. ll don't know anything about ladies' shoes.

I wish you'd reconsider.

Leo, my mind's set. I wanna do this deal with Jordan Lee.

You just figure out the particulars and don't worry about it.

We're gonna make money.

- Anne. - What are you doing here?

- I have to talk to you. - I don't wanna talk to you.

Look, my fiancée is on trial for murder and the case against her is very strong.

I know she didn't commit that murder, but I need you to testify on her behalf.

- I can't. - Look, you're my last hope.

Will you please leave me alone?

- Anne, has somebody threatened you? - No, but I can't take the chance.

My sister was murdered because she was gonna testify for you.

Is that what she wrote in that letter you mentioned?

She said she had had several attempts on her life.

- Now, please, I'm so afraid. - Look, I wanna see that letter.

- No, I don't have it anymore. - What?

I destroyed it.

That was the last letter that your sister wrote to you.

And you destroyed it? I don't believe it.

- That's it, it's gone. - Look

It has to be that whoever killed Naldo also killed Veronica.

Don't you wanna see that person brought to justice?

I have children to think of. A husband.

If Jenna goes to jail, the case is closed.

The real killer gets away. I want you to come and testify.

- I have to see that letter. - I can't. I just can't.

Anne. All right.

All right, I'm gonna give you my card.

And I'm gonna write the name of the hotel that I'm staying in.

I want you to think about what I said and then give me a call.

Anne, I know you're afraid.

But I also know that you're a decent person...

...and you wouldn't let an innocent woman go to jail.

Please call me.

- Your bourbon, Mr. Ewing. - Thank you, Cassie.

- And plain soda. - Thank you.

You're welcome.

- Here's to your career. - Thank you.

You know, Nathan, you showed a lot of guts yesterday...

...closing my field down the way you did.

Well, I must say I was a little nervous. I figured you'd be furious.

Yeah, I was. I was at first.

Then I realized, you did what you had to do.

But what I admire is you did it without considering what might happen to you.

Most politicians don't act like that.

Now, tell me, how serious are you about running for higher office?

I'm very serious.

Well, then, I think we ought to talk about me giving you some financial backing.

Well, financial backing is always welcome.

Now, honestly, what do you think your chances are?

Lila?

- Lila? It's J.R. Ewing. - I don't believe this.

Ha, ha, ha. Yeah, I knew it was you.

How did you recognize me after all these years?

It's easy. You haven't changed a bit.

If you can say that, you haven't changed either.

- You're still as big a liar as you were. - Ha, ha, ha.

I'd like to introduce my daughter.

Rhonda, this is a very dear old friend of mine, Mr. J.R. Ewing.

- Hello. I've heard so much about you. - Well, I'll be darned.

A daughter. She's just lovely.

Oh, listen, excuse me, I'd like you to meet a friend of mine. Lila--

It's Cummings now.

Lila Cummings and her beautiful daughter, Rhonda.

This is Nathan Billings here.

- Mr. Billings, how do you do? - Hi.

- Would you join us? - Oh, I'm sorry.

We have a table and there are things I'd like to talk to my daughter about.

Rhonda's out of college and I'm helping her decide what sort of job to look for.

Oh, really? What kind of work are you interested in?

Well, I'm not sure exactly.

I was thinking about something in public service.

Public service?

Well, that's really more up your alley than mine.

Uh. Nathan here is the head of the Texas Energy Commission.

Oh, you're the people that oversee the oil industry.

Yes, ma'am.

Yeah, he keeps us oilmen from getting ourselves into too much trouble.

[CHUCKLES]

Uh. Say, your commission needs help from time to time, doesn't it?

- Yes. - Why don't you talk to Rhonda here?

Maybe you can fit her into your organization some place.

If there were an opening, I'm not sure how much it'd pay.

- The commission operates on a shoestring. - I don't think it's a question of money, is it?

- Oh, no. - You just wanna do something worthwhile?

That's right.

Why don't you exchange numbers? Maybe you could get together and talk sometime.

Well, we would love to, if it's not too much of an imposition.

Not at all. Please call my office.

Thank you, I will.

J.R., it was awfully nice seeing you too.

Maybe we could get together sometime also.

I'd love to. I'll call you.

- Thank you. - Good seeing you.

- Mr. Billings. - Rhonda.

You know, I really cared tor that girl back in college.

I wish I could find a way to help her out.

Well, if she calls the office, I'll be happy to see what I can do for her daughter.

Really?

Well, Nathan, I'd consider that a personal favor.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Hello?

ANNE: Mr. Ewing? - Yes.

This is Anne. Anne McFadden.

Uh. Can you meet me at my house tomorrow morning?

- What time? - About 10:00.

I'll be there.

[SIGHS]

Donna?

I need to talk to you.

I want you to come home.

Look, this is crazy.

I said some things I never should have said. ll got a little drunk.

I was wrong, I'm sorry. I wanna apologize.

Ray, have you always resented my successes?

I thought that you were proud of me.

I mean, there was nothing I couldn't do.

I am proud of you, honey. You've just gone a little bit overboard.

Don't I have a right to be excited about what's happening?

Of course, you have a right to be excited.

Look...

Things have been pretty good between us up until now.

Can't we just have things the way they were?

People grow and they change.

Otherwise, they just stay in the same room and they die.

Don't you understand?

Il can only vacuum the house so many times.

Once the bed's made, it's made. The dishes are clean, they're clean.

What else is it you want from me?

I'll tell you.

Lady, I just want some love and some respect.

It goes both ways, cowboy.

Ray, please.

Just wait a damn minute.

Who is it that you're mad at? Is it me or is it yourself?

Is being a Ewing so important to you...

...that you are willing to lose everything?

Don't you think it's time that you started looking in a different direction?

Because you're only good to J.R. as long as he can use you.

I am doing this for Jock.

Jock is dead, Ray.

Do something for the living.

I said I was sorry.

Are you coming home with me?

Why?

Are you sure that you don't want some dessert?

I think I have some ice cream.

Oh, no, thanks. Not for me, I'm stuffed.

That dinner did it.

- Well, then, how about a cup of coffee? - That sounds good.

Okay. Would you like some chocolate in it?

- Chocolate in my coffee? - Yeah, some people like it like that.

No, just coffee in my coffee. Maybe some water.

Okay, you got it.

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, shoot.

No water.

[LAUGHING]

You see, that's what you get for living in a low-rent apartment.

The landlord shuts off the water at night.

No, they were working down in the basement on the plumbing earlier.

No, if it's off now. It's probably not gonna be on tonight.

No, I don't think so. It's happened before.

- It'll come back on eventually. - Well, I don't think you should chance it.

You could come to my apartment and stay there tonight.

Cliff...

- No. But thanks. - Well...

We could get to know each other better.

[CHUCKLES]

I don't think so.

I really like you.

I like you too, Cliff...

...but I'm just not ready for something like this.

I think we could be good together.

Cliff, I haven't been with anybody in a long time...

...and I would like to think about it.

You got it.

I won't push you now.

Thanks.

All right, Mr. Mendoza, do you mind telling the court...

...where you were on the night of the 28th?

I was in my room at the hotel.

Oh, would you mind, for the record, to tell us what hotel it was?

Oh, I'm sorry. It was the Border Hotel in Laredo.

Thank you. Do you happen to know the number of the room?

Yes, it was number 321.

Three-twenty one. That's directly adjacent to Room 319.

Yes, they are on the same side of the hall.

Well, now, somewhere between 6:30 and 7:15 that evening...

...did you hear anything unusual coming from the room next to yours?

- No. - Nothing at all?

There was a party down the hall...

...and every once in a while, I could hear them.

But I did not hear anything from the room next door, no.

Well, now, if there was a gunshot in that room...

...do you think you'd be able to hear it?

A gunshot?

Of course. Absolutely.

Well, somebody called the police...

...said they heard a gunshot coming from that room.

- It was not me. - Well...

A shot was fired in Room 319, but you didn't hear it.

Nobody else heard it, except the person who called the police.

Now, how do you account for that, Mr. Mendoza?

I do not know. I did not hear a gunshot.

Well, I know.

The bullet was fired through a silencer and the only one who heard it...

...was the one who fired it.

And that's the same one who chloroformed my client...

...and killed Renaldo Marchetta.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

[SIGHS]

- Good morning. - Morning.

Let's talk out here, my daughter's inside. I don't want her to know about this.

Well?

Well, I thought about it all night and I'd really like to help you.

But I can't go back to Dallas and testify.

Anne, we need you.

The trial is almost over. There's not much time left.

I know you could subpoena me it you want to, but--

Look, I never threatened to do that.

No, but you could.

If you promise not to, though, I'll give you Veronica's letter.

I didn't think you destroyed it.

Please, just promise me you won't put me on the witness stand...

...and I'll turn the letter over to you.

Your testimony could be so important for us.

I'm sorry.

I don't have much choice, do I?

Please try to understand. It's so dangerous for me.

What happened to Veronica could happen to me, could happen to my family.

All right, I won't subpoena you, but I need the letter.

Oh.

Here.

Will it help?

I think it will.

I really think it will.

DEMAREST: You might never see Charlie again.

I'm sorry. I think it's wrong. ll don't like Charlie getting involved in this.

She's already been involved. That's very important for her to testify.

Why is it so important? She didn't see who shot Naldo.

No, but she could testify that Naldo took her out of school...

...gave her to Veronica, kept her away from you.

So what? What's that gonna prove?

That the only way you could get to her was to submit to Naldo's demands.

Now, it's vital the jury understands that the one goal you had in your mind...

...was to get your daughter back.

Don't you see?

A strong part of our case rests on the fact.

...that though you hated Naldo, you wouldn't wanna see him dead.

Without him, you might never see Charlie again.

Now, I've got to be able to support that argument.

Now, there's one more thing.

That's a strong case against you and I don't have much to counter it with.

Now, please don't fight me on this.

Now, let me put up Charlie's name as a new defense witness.

I'm sorry, I can't. Charlie's been through enough.

No matter what happens to me, I don't wanna see her on that stand.

All rise. The court is back in session.

The case of the State of Texas v. Jenna Wade will resume.

Be seated.

- Okay, that's enough, John Ross. - Just one more dive, please.

- You've got homework to do. - Not yet. Please, one more dive.

All right.

- Hi, Mama. - Hi, sweetheart.

Look at me dive.

Mommy.

Hi.

Ha, ha. Oh, I missed you.

Mommy.

Hi, sweetheart. Look at you, you're all wet.

Do you have any presents?

Presents? Was I supposed to bring you a present?

You brought me presents, didn't you?

Well, maybe there's a little something somewhere.

Is everybody out?

Mr. Bobby had to go to Los Angeles, but he's on his way back home.

- I think everybody else is at the trial. - That's right.

We'd forgotten it was starting until we saw a newspaper at the airport.

Poor Jenna. How is it going? Do you know?

They don't talk about it much when they come home.

I'll go help them with the rest of the things.

- Can we go inside now? - I think he wants to see his presents.

- I think you're right. - Yeah.

Come on.

Come on, sweetie. ll got a whole suitcase of presents for you.

Would you like that?

- I didn't kill him. - But you threatened him.

I was angry. I didn't mean it as a real threat.

But you were angry the night he was killed, weren't you?

Ot course, I was. I wanted to get to my daughter.

He wouldn't take me to her.

No, he was taking you to the hotel. That's what you said.

- Hmm? - Yes.

He's gonna make you meet somebody.

- Is that what you said? - That's what he told me.

How do you know he wasn't lying?

How do you know he wasn't trying to get you there so that he could rape you?

DEMAREST: Objection.

I'm sorry, Your Honor. So that he could attack you again.

The only thing I know tor sure is that I didn't kill him.

Well, I'm sorry, Miss Wade, but all the evidence points to the contrary.

No further questions.

FENERTY: Mr. Demarest?

A Beretta 380. A very interesting weapon.

You knew Naldo was carrying this, didn't you?

Yes, he showed me in the corridor.

Assuming that you could get hold of it, now, that's a large assumption.

Since he was much bigger, much stronger than you, wasn't he?

Yes.

Well, let us forget it.

Just say you were able to get a hold of it.

What would be the first thing that you would do?

I don't know. Shoot it.

Well, if he had it in his belt, he'd probably have the safety on...

...don't you think?

- I guess so. - Yeah, I think so.

So the first thing you'd do would be to take the safety off.

Why don't you do that?

- Where is it? - Well, don't you know?

Well, there are all kinds of levers and things on both sides here.

You were raised on a ranch. Now, you must have fired a gun before.

I've shot a rifle and I've shot shotguns. I've never shot a handgun.

- This is completely different. - Oh, yes.

It's very different.

Very different indeed.

This is a very complicated weapon...

...and yet the prosecution wants you to believe...

...that under the effects of chloroform, this little lady here can grab it away...

...from a man bigger, stronger than she, find the safety...

...release it, shoot, before he could stop her?

I don't think so.

I don't think anyone with any common sense would think so.

That stretches the imagination a bit too far.

And we believe that the problems you expressed...

...in your letter of the 16th have more to do...

...with your accounting procedures than with ours, and--

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

Yeah?

KENDALL: There's a Miss Rhonda Cummings here.

- She says she met you with her mother. - Uh. Send her in.

- Do you want me to leave? - No, no, this won't take long.

Rhonda.

- Oh, am I bothering you? - No, no, this is my secretary, Sly.

- Hi. - Hi.

I just wanted to thank you.

I talked to Mr. Billings this afternoon and he offered me a job.

Is that a fact? Well, that's wonderful.

I hope it's something you're interested in.

Rhonda wants to get into public service work.

Well, he wasn't specific, but we are going to talk about it again.

Tonight, in fact.

He's going to pick me up at my mother's apartment at 8:00.

Well, I can't tell you how happy I am for you.

Thank you.

I can see you're working so I won't keep you.

I wanted to tell you how grateful I was.

Well, think nothing of it, darling. And I hope everything works out for you.

Yes, I hope so too. Goodbye.

Well, isn't that nice of her to come by just to thank you.

Oh. she's a lovely girl. ll used to know her mother very well.

- Pam? - Bobby.

- When did you get back? - This afternoon.

I was just packing Christopher's things to take him home.

Yeah, I just got back myself.

- I heard you were away. - Actually, I got back a little earlier.

I stopped by the courthouse to pick up Jenna.

Um.

How did it go in Hong Kong?

Was he there?

No.

No, it was all a mistake.

I saw the man they thought was Mark but it wasn't him.

I'm sorry, Pam.

I wanted so much to find him, Bobby.

ll know.

...

I was hoping you'd find him too.

- Now, I feel so alone. - Hey.

Hey. Come on.

It'll take some more time, but you'll be all right.

- I'm having so much trouble accepting it. - Oh, hey.

- We were so close. - Yeah, I know.

I wish there was something I could do to make it easier for you.

Just hold me.

- Mama, I'm gonna go show Grandma. - Wait, John Ross. Wait a minute.

- What? - Where do you think you're going?

You got all the presents and you left me with this mess?

Come on, put the paper in here. Take the bag downstairs, okay?

That's it. Good.

Okay, bye-bye.

- Daddy. - Hey, hi there, son.

- Well, I heard you're back. - Yeah, we just got back this afternoon.

- You have a nice trip? - Very nice.

Well, we all missed you.

I bet you did.

I bet you stayed home every night just pining after me.

I didn't go to bed with anybody else if that's what you're intimating.

Frankly, J.R., I don't care.

ll don't care who you sleep with, just as long as it's not me.

I see from your attitude nothing has changed between us.

Not the way you hoped it would.

- All right. I tried. - Tried what?

I tried to be a good husband. You just won't let me, will you?

I won't let you back into my bed, that's for sure.

Then it I read you right, you still have no desire tor me?

None whatsoever.

All right. At least we both know where we stand.

Exactly.

I just wanted to be sure.

DEMAREST: So, Mr. Ewing, did you ever meet with this Veronica Robinson?

Yes, twice, in California.

Would you mind telling the court the reason for your meetings?

She was holding Jenna's daughter and wanted $50,000 to release her.

That was the first time.

The second was the day when I gave her the money and got Charlie back.

- Did you ever see her again? - No, sir. Not alive.

She left the country shortly after that.

I did get a call from her from overseas a couple of weeks ago...

...offering to come here and testify at the trial.

- What happened? - When I met the plane, she was dead.

Do you have any idea how she died?

The medical report said she gave herself an overdose of heroin.

I personally believe that she was murdered.

Objection.

Your Honor, what the witness believes should not be admissible.

If you'll permit me, Your Honor.

I believe the witness has tangible evidence to support his opinion.

What tangible evidence do you have?

I have a letter written by Veronica to her sister...

...just before she got on that plane.

Let me see the letter.

Thank you.

Still object?

No, Your Honor.

Objection withdrawn.

Proceed.

If it please the court, I'd like to have this letter read out loud.

Granted.

"Dear, Anne--" That's her sister, Anne McFadden.

"I'm at the airport waiting for my plane. I'm leaving for Dallas this afternoon.

Annie, I'm so frightened. I have to tell somebody.

I think whoever killed Naldo is after me now.

I've already had two attempts on my life.

I called Bobby Ewing and he said he'd protect me...

...if I testified for his fiancée, so I'm going to do it.

I think it's my only hope of staying alive.

But there's another reason I'm going back to testify, Annie.

Naldo and I caused Miss Wade so much pain.

I just can't bear to think she'll have to go to jail now...

...for @ murder she didn't commit.

For once in my lite, I want to do the right thing...

...and it's important to me that you know that.

Well, the plane is starting to load. I'd better get this in the mail.

Pray for me, Annie. I'm doing what you always said I should do:

Trying to get my life straightened out.

I wish it were easier.”

She signed it: "Love, Veronica."

Thank you. That will be all.

Mr. Hoskins.

Mr. Ewing, to get Charlotte Wade back from Veronica Robinson...

...how much did you say you had to pay?

- Fifty thousand dollars. - Mm-hm.

And you also stated previously that according to the police report...

...that this woman was a drug addict?

According to the police report, yes.

So in other words, what do we have here?

A letter written by a woman who was a kidnapper...

...an extortionist and a drug addict.

This letter could've been written when she was in a weird hallucinatory state.

It's a fine piece of evidence. Tsk.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

- Who is it? - It's me, Mandy, J.R.

Let me in, will you?

Mandy, open the door. I wanna see you.

What's going on with you, darling? You haven't let me see you in a week.

J.R., this is really hard for me. Don't you realize that?

What's so hard about it? I know you care tor me.

Of course, I do. That's what makes it so difficult.

That's what I wanna hear.

No, J.R., I'm gonna get hurt. I know it.

Nobody's gonna hurt you. Not it I have anything to do with it.

Mandy, I haven't felt like this in years.

- Hmm. - Oh, J.R...

[GASPING]

- No. - What's the matter?

- Please, we have to stop. - Why?

J.R., we can't go on.

Don't you see? We're starving for each other.

But I can't let myself go any further. I won't go to bed with you.

Not while you and Sue Ellen are together.

All right.

Well, we may not be together much longer.

BAILIFF: Court is back in session.

Please be seated.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury.

The defendant, Jenna Wade-Marchetta, is charged with the offense of murder.

There are several possibilities as to the verdict you may reach.

It is my duty to instruct you in them.

To find the defendant guilty of murder, you must without any reasonable doubt...

...conclude that she intentionally and knowingly caused the death--

- Are you all right? - Oh, I will be.

I just couldn't listen to any more of that.

Oh, that poor girl charged with murder. She's no more guilty than I am.

- Calm down. Calm down. - I don't understand why.

- Why couldn't--? - Calm down.

I'm sure the jury will see it that way.

[SIGHS]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Just a minute.

Mr. Billings.

- I'm not quite ready yet. - No, you certainly are not.

Well, come in.

I'm sorry, I was taking a bath and the time just slipped away.

You know how that happens.

Is your mother home?

No, in fact, she had to go out of town.

But she wanted me to be sure and say hello to you.

Thank you.

Well, I guess I'd better get dressed.

Oh, would you like a drink while you're waiting?

- No, thanks. - Nothing?

Well, maybe a soft drink.

A soft drink?

Wouldn't you rather have a drink drink?

- No, I don't use alcohol. - Well, okay.

Oh.

Excuse me.

You know, I can't tell you how excited I am about this job...

...and I'm very happy to be working for you.

We're very happy to have you.

I just hope I don't disappoint you.

I'm sure you'll be just fine.

You know, you're a very attractive man.

I'm also a married man.

I won't tell if you don't.

I didn't realize how attractive you were when I first met you.

[CHUCKLES]

Perfect.

You know it she was my real daughter, I would be very upset.

[CHUCKLING]

Yeah. Well...

[CHATTERING]

BAILIFF: All rise.

FENERTY: Please be seated.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, have you reached a verdict?

Yes, we have, Your Honor.

Bailiff, bring it to me, please.

Thank you.

I have before me a document signed by the 12 members of the jury...

...which was charged with reaching a verdict in this case.

I'll read the decision aloud.

"We, the jury, having duly deliberated over the evidence and guided by the law...

...that is contained in the charge of murder...

...do hereby find the defendant not guilty."

[SIGHS]

[GAVEL STAMPS]

"As per instructions, we also deliberated upon the charge of voluntary manslaughter.

And guided by the law that is contained in this charge...

...we do hereby find the defendant guilty."

Guilty?

Scotty, I'm not guilty. You said I was innocent.

What happened, Scotty? What about Charlie?

Bobby. Bobby.

I didn't do it. I didn't do it.
