"Don't move." "Last time on Dynasty:" "Take it away." "Not until you understand the danger." "Blake, you and I would make an unbeatable combination." "I think you should withdraw from the race and run as my lieutenant governor." "That is the single-most ridiculous thing that I have ever heard you say." "I understand that those new stockholders are coming in to see you this afternoon." " I wanna be there at that meeting." " I think that would be a mistake." "We're talking now about a possible takeover." "Everything I've ever worked for, everything I own is at risk here." "Sorry to have to do it this way, but you've left me no choice." "This board's mismanagement almost sent the pipeline under," " and I can't let that happen." " It appears we've met the enemy." "And Io, he is one of us." "We've become friends." "Adam and Dana are good people." "After they get this baby, they're not gonna give a damn whether you live or die." "To them you're just a brood mare." "You can never trust the Jesse Atkinsons of this world." "They all have big mouths and big dreams and their hand out for an easy buck as long as they don't have to work for it." "You offered him money, didn't you?" "You're getting paid $100,000 for doing nothing?" "Adam Carrington just wants me to leave town for a little while until you've had the baby." " Here, this is all you care about." " No, listen." "Take it and get out of here." "I'm not playing anybody's side anymore, okay?" "Not yours, not the Carringtons'." "Here's your money back." "It's all there." "I brought you here to be Adam Carrington's worst nightmare, and I intend to see you finish the job." "Your breakfast is ready, Mrs. Rowan." "Thank you, Danielle." " Good morning." "Good morning, Alexis." " Good morning." "Good morning, Leslie." "I have the Eastridge papers for you to sign." "Hmm." "I thought Sean was going to bring them home." "Well, he was, but he wasn't at work, so there's a rush on them." "Well, the radio reports great skiing conditions." "Boy, I wish I could go." " But, of course, work comes first." " Well, of course it does." "My loyal Leslie," "I can't get over how you've changed from being my little girl Friday to such an important executive at Colbyco." "What is it that Sean calls you?" "His executive assistant?" "Yes, it is." "So well deserved." "Thank you." "Mm." "You've become invaluable to him." "Well, I try to do my best." "Oh." "I'm sure you do." "This pen doesn't work." "Do you have another one?" "Uh..." "No." "No, I don't." "I see you've taken my advice about dressing for success." "I like that suit on you." "Red is a very good colour." "In fact, you know, that bracelet that I gave you would go beautifully with it." "I haven't seen you wear it recently." "Don't tell me you haven't had it repaired." " What?" " The bracelet." "The last time that I wore it, I noticed that the clasp was loose." "Tomorrow I have to go to the jewellers to pick up a few things." "If you give it to me, I'll get it fixed." "Oh, that's very kind of you, but I'll do it." "Leslie." " Yes?" "You seem very nervous." "You haven't lost it, have you?" "No, I haven't." "Well, it doesn't matter if you have because it's insured and they'll take care of it." "Then I can buy you another one." "After all, I gave it to you as a symbol of the trust you inspired." "So I do hope you haven't lost it." "The bracelet, that is." "Heh." "You don't need to worry, Alexis." "I'll take care of it." "Leslie, I thought you said there was a rush on?" "Yes, that's right." "Atkinson." "Jesse." "I see." "Thank you." "I knew it." "He's still at the hotel." " What are you talking about?" " Jesse is still in town." " Darling, that doesn't mean anything." " Doesn't it?" "He refused the money I offered to leave." "Why?" "I don't know, but I'm glad." "Darling, don't you see?" "We would have had this black cloud hanging over us." "There is no black cloud, Dana." "There is Jesse Atkinson." "He's a threat to us and our child." "You just said it." "Our child." "Adam, the baby is going to belong to us." "And the surrogate contract is with Karen Atkinson and nobody else." " And you trust her?" " Yes, I do." " You're sure?" " Yes." "Well, I'm not so sure anymore of anyone." "Including Karen." "Oh, Adam, please don't do that." "That's not going to solve anything." "It's the middle of the morning." "You have an appointment, don't you?" "Is that better?" "Are you satisfied?" "You're right." "I have an appointment." "What is the matter?" "I don't understand what's going on." " Everything is gonna be fine." " Don't say that!" "There is a hell of a good chance I could lose my child." "That's right." "My child." "Conceived with seed from my body." "And I'm damned if I'm gonna let that happen." "Now do you understand?" "Sean." " Where the hell have you been?" " I was with Alexis, then my room." " Why, a nap?" "Growing tired of the job?" " I was looking for the bracelet." "She wants to know where it is." "I looked in the drawer." " Have you seen it?" " No." "I've got other things on my mind right now than jewellery." "Well, it was more than that." "You know, maybe..." "Maybe I put it back here." "I could have put it in here." "I could have done anything with it." " Sean." " What?" "I remember now." "I was wearing it that night in your room, the night Alexis was in the hospital." "What if I dropped it?" "What if she found it?" "She didn't find it." "It wasn't there." "I didn't see it." "But don't you understand?" "She's onto us." "She knows about us." "Keep this up and she will suspect something." "Listen to me." "Keep your mouth shut." "I'll take care of Alexis." " Now, do you understand that?" " Yes." " Well, say it as if you mean it." " Yes, Sean." " Well, yes what?" " I understand." "Good." "Interesting that Jeff requests a meeting today." "Sounds like blackmail to me." "Steven, I hold you responsible for this entire mess." "Heh, heh." "Tell me about it." "Your fight with Dexter over the pipeline project, that pushed Jeff into active involvement in Denver-Carrington." "That could be potentially crippling." "Another brilliant summation by the wise young attorney." " Look, Adam..." " No, you look, Steven." "Both of you." "If we don't pull together on this, we're not only hurting ourselves, we're hurting Daddy." "I'm not gonna see that happen." " Blame your little brother." " I haven't finished." "We've already lost some control of Denver-Carrington." "And if we're not careful, we'Il..." "Excuse me." "Sorry to barge in, but your secretary wasn't behind her desk." " Forget the amenities." " Hello, Fallon." "Jeff." "How are the kids?" "Fine." "If you're through, what did you come here to discuss?" "I'm here to discuss Denver-Carrington," "Colby Enterprises, and the pipeline contract between us." "Our companies are expanding." "The pipeline will help us do that." "As well as make a lot of money for each of us." "But." "I assume there is one." "Oh, yes, there is." "Construction is three months behind schedule." "And since Dex left," "Denver-Carrington has failed to find an adequate replacement." "When you left the job, Dex, you quit, right?" "That's right." "Now you're suddenly back onboard, along with the newest member of Denver-Carrington's executive committee." "Do you mind telling us why?" "No, Steven, I don't mind at all." "You were making unreasonable demands, telling me how to do my job." "Go on." "Well, Jeff has assured me that I'll have complete authority." "I'll get us back on schedule as soon as I can." " How long is this going to take?" " I'll make up the lost time, Adam." "But please, let me handle things my way." "Well, if there isn't any further discussion, I suggest we vote to reinstate Dex." "Heh." "What do you say?" "Shall we vote or shall we talk about it some more?" "I don't see the point of a vote." "I won't fight Dex taking over again." "Fallon?" "If you remember, I didn't want him to leave in the first place." "Adam?" "You just said it, Steven." "Why bother voting?" "My God." "You bulldozed your way into this, didn't you?" "The way you do everything." "Well, the fact is, you have no right to be here." "Maybe you didn't hear me last night." "But now I own the largest block of stock..." "You and your stock can go to hell." "Jeff Colby." "The man my father has always loved like a son." "I wonder how he's gonna react when he finds out how much you have taken from him." "I can't tell you how I appreciate your support, Judd." "Right." "Thank you very much." "Right." "Give my best to Evelyn." "Good morning, Blake." "Sorry I'm late." "I had business to take care of at Denver-Carrington." " Yes, I heard about that business." " Oh?" "Why don't we talk about it?" "Sit down." "I want you to know that I'm disappointed in the way you went about all of this." "I did what I had to because I felt it was the only way." "The only way?" "To secretly buy up enough Denver-Carrington stock so you could force your way into running the company?" "Yes, if that's what it took to get some action." "Had you still been in charge at Denver-Carrington..." "I'm not in charge of Denver-Carrington." "I've turned it over to my children." "Obviously, you didn't think much of my judgement." "Jeff, I keep thinking of words like "trust" and "loyalty" and "compassion."" "I know that those words are not very fashionable with some people today, but they all add up to a kind of integrity that I believe is important." "Right now, I don't know what to think." "I'm sorry if I disappointed you." "If this is leading up to your asking me to resign as your campaign manager," " I resign." " You're jumping to conclusions." " I didn't ask you to resign." "But that's what you're implying." "I'll make it official by letter." "I'm just sorry that it had to happen this way." "So am I." "We had a good campaign going." "Yes, we did, Jeff." "If you're busy, I can come back later." "Never too busy for a beautiful woman." "Hmm." "Especially when that beautiful woman is your wife." "Especially then." "Are you sure I'm not interrupting anything?" "I've been reading through some of the brilliant memos I've written." "Oh, well, if you wrote them, I'm sure they must be brilliant." "You're not expecting anyone, are you?" "Heh." "Like who, Alexis?" "Like a pretty little thing called Leslie Carrington?" "What's this all about?" "As the saying goes, "Try this on for size."" "As you know, I gave it to her." "And guess where I found it." " Where?" " Under our bed." " That's bizarre." " Oh, yes, isn't it?" "I thought maybe you could give me some idea how it got there." "Of course not." "How could I?" "Are you insinuating I'm interested in her?" "Oh, no, I'm not insinuating." "I'm saying right out, I think you've been having an affair with her in our bed, and in Africa, and God knows where else." "There's been no affair." "You're the woman I love." "Except I'm beginning to have doubts about these campaign trips you've been taking." "I'm not so sure you've been faithful to me." " That is ridiculous and you know it." " No." "No, it's not." "I don't know what really happened between you and Carrington that night you were stranded up in Vail." "Are you implying that I would go to bed with Blake Carrington?" "Maybe you did, maybe you didn't." " Who knows?" " Well, I know." " And?" " I did not." "Tables turned." "Now you know how it really feels, don't you, darling?" "I still don't know the answer to this question:" "How did this get under my bed?" "All right, that night you were shot, people at the hospital gave me your jewellery." "Leslie put everything away into the bedroom safe." "She just must simply have dropped the bracelet and didn't even realise it." "Hmm." "Sounds plausible." "All right, I'm sorry." "No, don't be sorry." "Maybe it's too late to be sorry." "The cinch is loose." "What is it, Steven?" " I wanted to see Danny." " He's not in the house." "He's at school." " I thought he had a fever." " Well, it was very slight." "Doctor said he could go to school this morning." "Now, why are you really here?" "I can't get it out of my mind." "I don't understand why you went to Jeff for help instead of to me." "I don't believe this." "You act as if I betrayed you." "Yeah, well, maybe in a way, you did." "How?" "We've been a part of each other's lives." "We have helped each other whenever we could." "Now it's like this big vacuum like that never existed." "That's nonsense." "Jeff is a friend and he's helping me out." " And there is nothing personal in it?" " That's none of your business." "You know, you've always made such a big deal about not being dependent on me, and now you're just leaning on Jeff." "This conversation has gone on long enough." "If you wanna see Danny, he'll be back from school." "See him at home." "Blake, I heard about Jeff's resigning." "You're not going to accept it, are you?" "I already have." "It's done." "Why?" "Because he did what he thought was right about the pipeline?" "Mr. Carrington, can I get your signature on this?" "Just a minute." "Thank you." "I love that boy." "You know that." "But it was the way that he did it." "He went behind my back." "And to do it at this time, when Steven and Adam are fighting, when Fallon is caught right in the middle between the two of them." "I don't know." "I'm afraid they're just not ready." "Maybe I should have considered getting outside help in to run the company." "But you also said they had to learn." "You couldn't always be there to bail them out." "Yes, that's true." "But what if it gets worse?" "Am I gonna sit there and watch it all go under?" "All the things I've ever dreamed about?" "All the things that I've worked for?" "Watch it all disappear?" "Except that won't happen." "You know your children." "They're not going to let you down." "All right." " Ooh." "It's cold." "Ha, ha." " Oh, yes, it is." "Miss Dana asked to see you when you got back." " Where is she?" " Upstairs in their room." "Thank you, Jeannette." "Oh, Krystle." "I hope you don't mind, but Adam asked Gerard to bring up Kristina's cradle." "Oh, of course not." "And now that Karen is due to have the baby, we wondered if we could borrow Blake's christening gown." " It'd mean so much to Adam." " Oh, well, of course you can." "Why did you hesitate before you answered?" "Oh, did I?" "I wasn't aware that I did." "What are you thinking?" "Dana, I don't know quite how to say this." "And I hope you understand." "Uh..." "I'm wondering if you might not be a little bit premature about this." "I don't understand." "I sensed something about Karen and her husband the other night." "I saw how concerned he was about her and how much he cared about her." "Well, what does that have to do with a christening gown or a cradle?" "Are you thinking Karen and Jesse might get together again?" "What if that were to happen?" "Well, it doesn't mean that the baby wouldn't be Adam's and mine." "Or are you suggesting that too?" "Dana, I know how much you want this baby." "I have this terrible uneasy feeling." "Please stop it." "I don't wanna hear any more of this." "I am so sick and tired of Adam's predictions of doom, and now you?" "Dana, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you." "Well, you have." "Doesn't anyone understand that nothing is going to spoil what Adam and I have been waiting for all of these months?" "This baby will end up with us, Krystle." "It will." "Jeff." "Hello, Alexis." "Jeff, I've heard that you were quitting the campaign." "Is it true?" "Yes, it is." "Jeff, you know, ever since you've been a little boy, you've been just like family to me." "Now that you and Fallon are getting divorced," "I hope that we don't become strangers." "That's not going to happen." "You know that, Alexis." "Jeff, you've done such a good job on Blake's campaign." "If you still wanted to stay in politics..." "That's starting to sound like an invitation." " Do you want me to join your team?" " Now, isn't that a good idea?" "Please sit." "Alexis, that's very flattering, but, uh, I just can't accept." "You've been very good to me." "And as you know, Blake and I, our relationship is a bit strained, but he still is one of the most important people in my life." "Ah." "Tsk." "I know what you're saying, and I understand." "It's hard when somebody that you love and trust lets you down." "Sounds like there's more to it than just the campaign." "Heh." "Yeah, I suppose there is." "Wanna talk about it?" "No." "Not right now, but maybe we can have lunch next week." "Sorry to interrupt." "I'd like that." "Excuse me." "Blake." "Excuse me, Blake." " Alexis, I want to ask you something." "Oh, well, I hope it's not gonna take long." "I'm late for dinner." "You tried to get Jeff to join your campaign, didn't you?" "The next time you eavesdrop, why don't you listen more carefully?" "It was Jeff's idea." "Well, I suppose it's business as usual between you and me, isn't it, Blake?" "As far as I'm concerned, you listen, but you don't hear." "And you look, but you don't see." "Don't give me that." "You'd do anything to get confidential material out of this office and get me out of this race, but it's not going to happen." "One reason it's not gonna happen is because Jeff had the good sense to turn you down." "Now, was that quick enough for you?" "Enjoy your dinner." "I thought we could go out and have some dinner tonight." "I don't know, Jeff." "I have a few things to do in town." "Well, I figured since we're going to Los Angeles to that horse auction, we should maybe plan a little strategy." "Mm." "You know, uh, maybe we jumped into this partnership thing too fast." "Maybe we should just give up the whole idea." "Wait a minute." "This ranch is in trouble." "You said you were gonna get things moving." " That doesn't happen overnight, right?" " No." "What happened?" "It's just something I feel." "Are you upset about Steven again?" "He feels betrayed because I didn't come to him for help." "And now he's making me feel guilty for nothing." "What you did was right for you." "Now, Steven misunderstands your motives about the ranch." "Blake misunderstands mine about Denver-Carrington." "And there's nothing we can do." " We have to live our own lives." " Hmm." "Sure you don't wanna have some dinner tonight?" "Why not?" "What do you want?" " I wanna see Karen." "She's not here." "Well, where is she?" "She's out for a walk with your wife." "I'll wait for her here." "I just got off the phone with an old buddy of mine." " Offered me a job." " Which you turned down." "Which I did not turn down." "See, Carrington, I'm staying here in Denver." "Gonna get back with my wife and my kids." "What kind of sick game are you playing with me?" "You want more money, is that it?" "I didn't want your dirty money the other night and I don't want it now." "I want you to get out of my house." "I'm waiting for Karen right here." "Rich man." "You think you can buy people just like you buy a new suit." "I want your butt out of here." "You understand?" "Get your hands off me, Atkinson." " Adam, Jesse, stop it." " Adam, stop it." "Both of you." " Stop it, both of you." " Oh!" "Oh, my God, Karen." " Karen." "Oh, my God." " Karen?" " It's the baby, I think." "Dana, call the hospital." "Gotta get her to the car." "Jesse, come on, help me." "Aah." "Oh." " Come on." "We're on the way." "We called ahead." "Mrs. Atkinson's in labour." "We're at the hospital, Karen." "They'll take care of you." "Get an IV ready." "It could be an immediate delivery." "You all right?" "Quick." "Lie down right here." "Get her coat around her." " There you go." " Take it easy." "Breathe deeply." " Be careful, okay?" "You're gonna be fine." "You'll be okay." "Get her inside right away." "Watch it." "Second floor." "Quickly." "Easy." "Orderlies not assigned to duty..." "Clear the elevator." "Just hold on." "Tell Dr. Davis she's here." "Report to Emergency." "Damn you." "This never would have happened if you hadn't been over at the house." "I'm not interested in what you have to say." "I want you out of my life, you understand?" "Look, maybe it hasn't penetrated your thick skull yet, but Karen is carrying my child." "Adam, they've taken Karen into the delivery room." "She's going to have the baby any time now." "Whoa." "Ha, ha." "Thank you." " You know, I'm really impressed." " Don't be." "I've been playing Frisbee since I was 3." "Oh, not with your Frisbee." "Today at the auction, the way you handled yourself." "Oh." "I mean that." "I thought you were just fixing your earring or something." "The next thing I know, we bought an Arabian horse." "Eh." "I just hope I did the right thing." "Well, I'm sure you did." "I mean, you have an uncanny way with horses." "Hmm." "I guess I'm not too shabby for a girl who grew up knowing nothing but jalopy racing." "I remember when I thought watching the Indy 500 on TV was the next best thing to heaven." "I've come a long way, haven't I?" "Yeah, you sure have." "Couldn't have happened to a nicer person," " particularly my partner." " Huh." "You haven't been in the water yet, have you?" "Oh, no, no, please, please, please." "Please, I'll do anything." "Anything." "Anything for you." "Anything for you." "That's it." "I wish the kids were with us." "They'd love California." "Well, maybe next time we can bring them, huh?" "Right now, though, why don't just the two of us love California?" "It's getting late." "We better get back to the car." "Come on." "Jesse, how long was Karen in labour with Allison?" "Fourteen hours and a few minutes." "We've been here since 8:00 last night." "Is this ever gonna end?" "If you wanna go home to your mansion and take a nap, Carrington, the elevator's right over there." "I gotta get some more coffee." "Can I get you some?" " No, thanks." " Okay." "It's been more than 14 hours." "Karen is going to be all right." "And so will the baby." "You saw how pale she was when we got here." "Do you think maybe the fall she took affected the baby?" "No, I don't." "You're frightened too, aren't you?" " Yeah, I guess I am." " Yeah." "Up until last night, I didn't think anything could go wrong, but when she fell and the way she was shaking, and now all these hours with no news," "I'm a little frightened for her." "I, uh, brought you a cup anyway." "You know, just in case." "Thank you." "Congratulations." "Karen gave birth to a baby boy." " Eight pounds, 4 ounces." " A son." " Is he okay?" " Mm-hm." "He's a perfect child." "And both he and Karen are doing beautifully." " Oh, thank God." " That's wonderful." " We have a son." " I know." "Doctor, are you sure that Karen is gonna be all right?" "Yes, she's resting now." "But, uh, the father can see the child." " Hey, I think that's me." " Ha, ha." " Let's go and visit the baby." " Okay." "He's so beautiful, Adam." "My son." "I promise to protect you." "I promise to give you everything I never had when I was growing up." "And I promise that nothing will ever, ever separate us." "I love you." "So, Dex, you're back on the Denver-Carrington pipeline, I see." "Well, after Colbyco agreed to an easement on that property, yes." "Sean, I had a phone call from Natumbe this morning about the Vitron Oil deal." " What's that gotta do with you?" " I just got a friend checking it out." "I know Colbyco's in on the deal as well as Blake's company." "Thought you might clear something up." "Yes, if I can." "Denver-Carrington ship's loaded, but only half the holds are filled with oil." "Now, you and I have both dealt with Harry Thresher and his slimeball ways." "Is something happening down there that maybe both companies should know about?" "For example?" "Heh." "I just gave you an example." "You just brought me a story from some third person about another person seeing empty holds." "Now, isn't it pretty damned logical that if they're empty, they just haven't been filled yet?" "As in simple logic." "Except maybe a little too simple in this case?" "You're in the oil business." "Now, why don't you tell me what you really suspect?" "That is the key word here, isn't it?" "Or did you just find yourself in the neighbourhood and decide to drop by?" "I've got to cut this short." "I've got some people waiting." "Thank you very much for your time." "You know, you're probably right." "They just haven't filled those holds yet." " Yeah." " Yeah." "Don't you knock?" "Why should I when I have a key?" "Frighten you?" "No, I was just writing a letter." "To who?" " Alexis." " Why?" "Because I'm resigning from Colbyco, that's why." "I wouldn't write that letter if I were you, Leslie." "But she knows something." "She suspects something." "The minute she gets that, she'll know she was right." "Don't you understand, Sean?" "I am scared to death." "Death." "Ah." "Death." "You came very close to it in Africa, didn't you, Leslie?" "When you challenged a viper?" " Are you trying to threaten me?" " No." "I don't need to threaten." "I just call the shots and you listen." "Don't you?" "Ah, thanks for waiting." "I'm sorry this took so long." "What do you say about your offer to work with me again?" "The job's yours if you still want it." " Dex, I..." " I know, I know." "You're very grateful." "So?" "Good news?" "I can't take the job." "I've decided to stay on at Colbyco." "Oh." "Ah." "You got a raise?" "You got a bigger office?" "You got a bigger plant to put in the bigger office?" "What's the matter?" "What are you keeping from me?" " Nothing." "Let's just drop it, okay?" " I wanna know what's bothering you." " It's Rowan, isn't it?" " No." "Has he been coming on to you?" "That wouldn't surprise me." "We've been having an affair." "I think Alexis knows." "See, I left this bracelet on her bedroom floor, and then she found it with..." "When she was in the hospital." "You see, if I leave, she's gonna think that I'm running away." "I don't know how I got myself into this mess." "People have been known to have affairs they've regretted." "There's more." " Sean." " What about Sean?" "He tried to kill me." "What are you talking about?" "I know something about him that could destroy his marriage to Alexis." "You know what, Leslie?" "Tell me." "Hi." "Hi." "I didn't know if you were awake or not." " How are you?" " I'm fine." " It took a long time." " Mm-hm." "I think you set a new record." "Ha, ha." " You stayed the whole time?" " Sure." "I wouldn't go." "Not when I was the cause of it all." "It was time for the baby to come, Jesse." " It wasn't your fault." " Yes, it was." "It's always my fault." "All the years of bad times, all the pain I've caused you." "God, I'm sorry, Karen." "Don't be so rough on yourself, Jesse." " Have you seen the baby?" " No." "You'd think he'd let me see your child." "He took his wife." "Acted as if she was the one who carried it all this time." "She's thought of it as her baby right from the beginning, you know that." "Yeah, but what I know is that it was you that carried it all these months." "You gave that baby life." " It was your strength, Karen." " Jesse, please." "Okay, I won't talk about it." "Here you go." "Talked to the girls." "They're fine." "They're real happy that it's a boy." " They sound okay?" " Oh, they sounded great." "They wanted to know what you're gonna name it." "I guess you don't have any say in that, either." "Can't we just talk about the girls, Jesse?" "They asked me to stay on in Denver." "Stay here?" "I didn't make any promises." "It's up to you, Karen." "I'm not sure." "This isn't the time." "Honey, I've always been a dreamer." "You remember you called me that the first time that we met." "And it cost me my family." "But I love you, Karen." "I'm just asking you to give me another chance." "Who is it?" "It's Jeff." " Hi." " Oh, hi." " Look what I got." " What?" " Movie-star mags." " Boy." "Bruce Willis, Tony Danza's in it." "Pee-wee Her..." "Tom Cruise." "Oh, thanks a lot." "Ha, ha." "I had a terrific day today, and I thought we'd top it off by going to Spago's." "Oh, that sounds great." "You know, I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time." "Good." "This morning at the beach, when we were kissing..." " Yeah?" "...in front of all the seagulls." "Yeah." "They didn't seem to mind." "Did you?" "Ha, ha." "No." "No, not at all." "I think I'd better finish getting dressed." "Jeff, maybe I..." "Forget the maybes." "Yes, I know that Harry Thresher was involved in Sean's Colbyco deal." "I know that he and Thresher go back a long way, as you and Thresher do." " So what?" " That's right." "And he's a crook." "I hear he's going straight now." "You feel the same way about your husband, I suppose." " What do you mean by that?" " Do you trust him, Alexis?" "All the way?" "Get to the point, Dex." " Why is Sean Rowan in Denver?" " Why is anyone in Denver?" "How come he was on that bridge the day your car went over?" "It was a lucky break." "He saved my life." "That's all I care about." "I'd care more about it if I were you." "Do you know who your husband's father is?" " No." " Did he ever tell you that his name is Joseph?" "Joseph Anders?" "Joseph Anders?" "Our old majordomo?" "Yes." "Remember?" "He killed himself and blamed you in a letter he left behind." "Sean Anders is his son." "And my guess is that he's come here to get revenge on what he thinks you did to his father and to his sister, Kirby." "Oh, Dex." "This is all so ridiculous." "Where did you hear this?" " How do you know?" " It's the truth." "Alexis, he married you to destroy you." "Come in." "Hi." "You look wonderful." "How do you feel?" "I feel fine." "He's really something, isn't he?" "Yes, he is." "We only saw him for a little while, and I didn't get a chance to hold him." "May I?" "My God." "Oh." "Dana?" "Oh, uh..." "Oh." "Everything they say about the miracle of birth is true." "Adam, he's your son." "May I have him back, please?" "Oh, sure." "Karen, what's the matter?" "I'm sorry." "It's all right." "You've been through an awful lot lately." "I carried this baby." "I nurtured this baby." "And we'll always be grateful for everything you've done for us." "You both don't understand." " He's a part of me." " We know that." "A part of me that..." "That what?" "He's a part of me, and you can't take him away from me." "Karen, what are you saying?" "I can't give him to you." "He's mine and I can't give him up." "Not now, not ever." "I can't."
