This is one of several scenario endings I will be writing for the 1991 Final Episode (series finale), of the show.
SCENARIO ENDING 1.
The original ending as seen on TV. Where JR awakes from his nightmare and sees Adam in a red suit and urges JR to kill himself, with Jocks pistol. JR raises the gun to his head and Adam's eyes flash red.
"DO IT!" Adam demands.
Bobby arrives home and rushes to JR's bedroom.
Only Bobby, NOT THE AUDIENCE, witness the outcome of the ending.
"Oh my God," Bobby gasps.
END OF DALLAS!
SCENARIO ENDING 2.
JR awakes from his Nightmare, with a bottle in one hand and a gun in the other. JR sits up, shaken.
"Oh my God, what a nightmare," JR sighs. "I still got nobody - Nobody cares."
JR walks across the room and sees Adam, the devil in a red suit in his mirror.
"You thought it was a dream," Adam grins.
"You Bastard you killed my brother."
"No, JR it was his destiny and now it's time to except your fate."
"What is my destiny? I've got nothing and you know it. I played along with your stupid game and I've got nothing to show for it."
"Well, then I guess the only way is - death. Nobody loves you they all ran off on you. Why take anymore. Go on - pull that trigger. "
"Just quit? Just like that?"
"Just like that."
Bobby then arrives home, with the scene played out from the point of view of an unknown character. Bobby turns to the camera.
"Here we are, home sweet home, like you never left. JR will be happy to see you. "
Back upstairs, JR is still contemplating. Adam continues to encourage him to suicide.
"Get it over with. Your life is not worth spit," Adam claims.
POINT OF VIEW OF UNKOWN CHARACTER - Downstairs, Bobby and unknown character see smashed glass on the floor.
"Looks like JR's fallen off the wagon completely," Bobby says. "Don't worry, I'm sure he'll be fine. I think it's best we let him soba up and talk in the morning. Go get some rest."
THE SECRET CHARACTER ASCENDS THE STAIRCASE
Back to JR's room. Adam is desperate to finish JR.
"It'll be oh so much better."
JR slowly raises the gun.
"Think how sorry they'll all be," Adam tries to bluff. "That's right - Just one shot.
JR clicks the chamber of the gun.
THE HIDDEN CHARACTER HEARS THE CHAMBER CLICK.
Adam continues to push JR on the brink.
"That's all it'll take," Adam grins.
Adams eyes shut and JR stand with the gun to his head.
THE SECRET CHARACTER APPROACHES JR'S BEDROOM.
JR holds the gun to his head, as Adam opens his eyes flashing red.
"DO IT!"
Downstairs, Bobby is sweeping up the smashed when he hears a scream.
"NO JR!" A female voice cries out.
THEN A GUN SHOT!
Bobby cuts his fingers and rushes up the staircase, down the hallway to JR's bedroom. He stands just outside the bedroom door with a horrified look on his face, as tears fill his eyes.
"Oh my God," Bobby gasps.
JR is sat distressed.
"Oh my God, what have I done?" JR panics.
THE CAMERA PANS DOWN TO JR CRADLING A WOUNDED AND UNCONSCIOUS MISS ELLIE.
FREEZE FRAME ON MISS ELLIE
