[Back at the Dallas Police Department in Dallas]
Detective Kane : I'm not happy about it. But that doesn't seem to be in anyway for us to find out what really happened. I've talked to District Attorney's office, there will be no prosecution in the death of Nicholas Pearce. As far as they're concerned, this case is closed.
J.R. Ewing : Well, if it'll make you feel better, it was an accident.
Sue Ellen Ewing : He'd be alive today, if it weren't for you.
J.R. Ewing : Sue Ellen, you heard the man. It's over.
Sue Ellen Ewing : What is over is our marriage. You should be getting your divorce papers any day now.
J.R. Ewing : Good!
Sue Ellen Ewing : And you can kiss your son goodbye once and for all.
J.R. Ewing : You'll never keep John Ross from me.
Sue Ellen Ewing : Just watch me.
Detective Kane : Enough. We don't want any trouble from the two of you. This is not your personal police force. And the first one of you that gives us trouble is gonna to regret it.
J.R. Ewing : They'll be plenty of trouble until I get my boy back.
Sue Ellen Ewing : You'll get him back over my dead body.
J.R. Ewing : Whatever it takes, Sue Ellen. Whatever it takes.

J.R. Ewing : How could you leave that little ninny alone in the house? If she's still at Southfork when I get back there, I'm gonna have her barbecued.
Miss Ellie Ewing Farlow : You moved out of Southfork, J.R. Lucy moved in.
J.R. Ewing : Where were you when she was handing my son over to Sue Ellen?
Miss Ellie Ewing Farlow : I was flying back here to see you to make sure you were all right. I even worried about you. I shouldn't have.
J.R. Ewing : Hmm. Now that female assassin's got my son.
Clayton Farlow : He's better off with her than hidden way some school.
J.R. Ewing : You butt out of this, Clayton. We're talking family here.
Miss Ellie Ewing Farlow : J.R., you keep a civil tongue in your head. Clayton is family.
J.R. Ewing : No matter what you say, mama, he's never going to be a family to me.
Clayton Farlow : J.R., wounds are no. I'll kick your butt around this room.
J.R. Ewing : Oh, that's great, yeah. Attack me when I can't defend myself. That figures. Yeah, ha, ha.
Miss Ellie Ewing Farlow : Well, obviously, J.R., you're not suffering from any serious effect from the shooting. And there's no other reason for us to stay here.
[Miss Ellie and Clayton are leaving]
J.R. Ewing : Doesn't anybody care that I was almost killed? I was almost killed!

[In the evening at the Dallas Memorial Hospital. Knocking on the door, is the Detective Kane to questioning J.R. Ewing while eating his dinner in bed]

[Showing his Police Detective I.D. badge from his jacket]
Detective Kane : I'd like to talk to you about last night, the, uh, shooting?
J.R. Ewing : Yeah. Well, it's about time. I assume you got that fruit cake wife mine locked up.
Detective Kane : Uh, no, sir, we don't.
J.R. Ewing : You don't?
Detective Kane : As a matter a fact she wants us to bring charges against you for the murder of Nicholas Pearce and attempted assault on her.
J.R. Ewing : This a joke, right? You're not really a policeman? Somebody hired you to do this to me? Yeah, I know who. Cliff Barnes and it's sound like that moron sense of humor. Huh?
Detective Kane : Mr. Ewing, I am who I say I am, and your wife wants charges filed against you.
J.R. Ewing : God, it's not an option try to kill me. She's filing charges against me, too?
Detective Kane : Well, now, you threw Nicholas Pearce off your terrace?
J.R. Ewing : Well, of course I do. Hell, the man was intend on killing me, I just trying to protect myself, that's all.
Detective Kane : That's not what Mrs. Ewing said.
J.R. Ewing : Well, Mrs. Ewing is a flat out all faced liar. Uh, did you see my door in my apartment? They kicked it in, came in, threatened me, both physically and otherwise?
[Scoffs]
J.R. Ewing : I'll tell you, I - I just did what any good Texans will do. I was defending my home against intruders.
Detective Kane : You mean you pulled the gun on him?
J.R. Ewing : Well, I had no choice. But I didn't start that fight. Pearce jumped me. He was pounding on me and I was trying get away. He was after me all the time. And, well, when he went over the balcony, he was only because slipped trying to pushed me over. And then I turned around, there was Sue Ellen, standing there with the gun in her hand, she looked me straight in the eye, pull trigger. You want to know why?
Detective Kane : She says you came after her?
J.R. Ewing : That's a damn lie. She shot me. Because her lover was dead, or didn't she tell you they were lovers, huh? Well, if you don't know, you're the only one on Dallas. Nope. Vengeance. It was vengeance, pure and simple on her part. And I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna file attempted murder charges against her.
Detective Kane : Now, Mr. Ewing, you can both be guilty of attempted murder?
J.R. Ewing : That's right. So the sooner you get out of here and lock that woman up the safer I'm gonna feel.

[Here is the United States and Texas flags flows next to the Dallas Memorial Hospital]
Detective Kane : I know it's an unusual procedure, but, uh, you were the only two people there and you're telling diametrically opposed stories.
J.R. Ewing : I told you she was a liar.
Sue Ellen Ewing : And he's a murderer.
J.R. Ewing : The only murder in that apartment was you, darling!
Sue Ellen Ewing : I wish I'd have been. Then I would've had my son, and you would've just been a bad memory.
J.R. Ewing : You wait a damn minute!
Detective Kane : Whoa. Now, whoa, this isn't what I wanted it all. Now, Mr. Ewing, do you still want us to press charges against Mrs. Ewing?
J.R. Ewing : You're damn right I do.
Detective Kane : And you, Mrs. Ewing?
Sue Ellen Ewing : No. I've decided to drop all charges against him.
Detective Kane : You are? Does this mean you're changing your story?
Sue Ellen Ewing : No. It just means that I remember I had a son. And as much I wanna see J.R. punished. I want my son to exposed to any of this.
J.R. Ewing : Well, I hate to see it, but she's right. It's best this never gets at trial.
[sighed]
J.R. Ewing : I'm... willing to drop charges and forget the whole damn thing.
[Detective Kane sees that both J.R. Ewing and Sue Ellen Ewing are going to drop the charges and be dismissed]
Detective Kane : Well, you can both drop your charges, but there's a dead body to think about, and I'm not going to call this off until I find out what did happen.
[Sue Ellen doesn't know. So does J.R., too unknown]
