"What is it, darling?" "What's the matter?" "It was just a bad dream." "But it seemed so real." "Blake, I don't feel right about your going on this trip without me." "Maybe I should come with you." "Well, you've convinced me that one of us should stay here with Kristina." "Darling, it's just a business trip." "I'll be back in a week, maybe less." " I'm afraid." " Afraid?" "Of what?" "Ben and what he could do to you." "I mean, you know what he's capable of." "Oh, don't you worry about that, I can handle Ben." "Now, come on." "Come on, lie back now." "Now, you go on back to sleep." "Goodnight." "I love you." "I love you." " Good morning, Blake." " Good morning, Dex." " Sit down, won't you?" " Thank you." " How about some breakfast?" " Mm, I'd love some." "So, what's up?" "Well, I just wanted you to know that I'm taking over the pipeline once again." "Well, congratulations." "I'm glad to hear that." "You never did like working with my brother, Ben, very much, did you?" "Ha, ha, somebody told you that?" "I wanted to assure you things are gonna be different." "I'm not gonna be issuing orders from on high." "If you have any problems, I wanna know about them." "Let's just say it's a pleasure to be working with you again." "Good." "We can get into that in more depth when I come back from Hong Kong." "Hong Kong?" "Yeah." "I'm going there to settle some accounts with Alexis and Ben." "I should be back in a couple days." "Well, I talked to Alexis yesterday." "She didn't mention anything about it." "Well, it's not exactly a trip that she and Ben are looking forward to." "Boy, I wish she'd get him out of her life." "Blake, what about the crater?" "You ever gonna reopen it again?" "Not with Michael Culhane as my partner." "I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him." "You're not gonna let up, are you?" "I'm not gonna let up on anybody that threatens my family, not anybody." "Sammy Jo, what time is it?" "It's almost 10." "What?" "It's almost 10." "You knew I had to get up early this morning." "Why didn't you wake me?" "I guess because you were sleeping so peacefully." "Because you didn't want me going off on that job with Dex, right?" "I asked you something, Sammy Jo." "Is that right?" "No, that's not right." "I thought you could use the rest." "You're gonna be gone for three days and I thought it'd be nice to have you around a little longer, even for an hour or two." "Would you stop jumping all over me?" "Yeah, well" "If I am, it's because of the way you've been acting lately." "Like you're on another planet or something." "Now, what-?" "What is going on with you?" " Nothing." "Nothing at all." " Hey." "We've gotta stop doing this to each other, sweetheart." "We have got everything to look forward to." "Us together, our baby." "You're not beginning to regret being pregnant, are you?" "Of course not." "I wish you'd stop questioning me." "I don't like it." "I really don't like it." "I think we do need a few days away from each other." "Maybe that way we can sort out what's wrong." "Maybe that would be good for us." "Two cashiers' cheques." "One made out to you, the other to Dominique." "Forty-two million each." "Good." "I'll have them deposited before we leave for Hong Kong." "You know that really is my money, don't you?" "Father cut me out of his will after Mother died." "It wasn't fair." "It wasn't fair for you to let her die in that fire either." "My God." "Aren't you ever gonna forgive me for that?" "Don't you think I've suffered enough?" "We're brothers, Blake." "Can't you even give me a chance to prove how sorry I am?" "You expect me to buy that?" "Yes, damn it, I do." "The word "brother" wasn't in your vocabulary when you thought I was down and out and broke." "You called me a has-been." "And now suddenly, when you're the loser, when it's convenient for you to be my brother, why, then you want me to embrace you." "And you can't." "I'll call you my brother when you earn it." "When you act like one." "We leave at 4:00." "Be at the airport no later than 3:30." "I gave you your chance, Blake." "You may be sorry you didn't take it." "I thought you might like to see the latest pictures that Danny drew." " These are happy pictures, Steven." " Yeah, they really are." "You're not still embarrassed about the other night, are you?" "Ha, ha, no." "No, I'm not, I..." "I'm just really glad that you were honest with me." "You know, another man might try to hide what he was really feeling." "Anyway, that's over with." "And what's really important is that you decided to let Danny stay in my class." "You see, I happen to love that little boy of yours a lot." "Yeah, I know you do." " I'm late for an appointment." " Okay." "Well..." "Steven." "Hello, Sammy Jo." " I came by to see Danny." " He's inside." "Um, I've gotta get going." "I'll leave these with you." " Okay, bye-bye." " Bye." "That was just a friendly kiss." "Oh, I didn't say anything, did I?" "No, but I sensed something about the way you looked at me." "And you've got no reason to be jealous." "You don't know what you're talking about." "He's a terrific guy." "And I think you might still have some personal feelings towards him." "So where is Adam?" "He's off doing a personal errand for me." " And when will he be back in Denver?" " Soon." " Is that all?" " No, damn it, that is not all." "Will you tell me why I need his signature on every operational order I issue?" "Because that's the way I want it done around here." "Oh, for God, Alexis." "Why does it have to be like this all the time between us?" "Disagreeing." "Arguing." "Because, Ben, whether you like it or not," "I am still the boss of this company." "And I do not have to prove myself to you." "So you better take everything that I say very, very seriously." "You won't take me seriously when I say that what I want is you." "Look, may I remind you that we have a plane to catch?" "And I have all these papers to sign, so if you'll excuse me." "Get me the overseas operator, please." "Go ahead, Mrs. Colby." "Hello, Adam, did I wake you?" "No." "No, Mother, you didn't." "I haven't been able to sleep." "I'm still on Denver time." "Adam, have you had any luck in tracing those phone calls of Ben's yet?" "I had to send in a written request to the phone company." "They'll let me know tomorrow." "Darling, you know how important this is to me." "I've gotta find some way to get him out of my life." "I'll have the information." "One way or another, I'll have it for you." "I know you will, darling." "Look, get some sleep, you sound exhausted." "Bye." "Come in." "And what can I do for you?" "I wanna talk to you." "Really?" "I wanna talk about your so-called associate, Ben Carrington." "About your going to Hong Kong with him." "And with Blake." " Well, I wanna come too." " Oh, Dex, don't be ridiculous." "This is a business trip, not a convention junket." "Besides, three is already a crowd." " You want some coffee?" " No, thank you." "Look, Alexis, Ben is no stranger to the Orient." "Once you're there, you'll be at his mercy." "There's no telling what he's liable to do." "I wouldn't worry about that if I were you." "Thank you for your concern but I can take care of myself." "Well, I wanna be there to make sure of it." "And, uh..." "And what?" "Do I really have to say it?" "I don't wanna be away from you right now." "Oh, Dex, I love you for that." "But I won't be gone forever." " Krystle." " Hello, Ben." "I didn't think you or Blake would ever want me in this house again." "This isn't a social visit." "I was in the middle of packing when you called." "What do you wanna see me about?" "I wanna talk to you about your trip with Blake." "A trip that isn't my idea, you do know that?" "Still, it gives you a chance to try and turn everything around, doesn't it?" "What are you trying to say, Krystle?" "Just this." "If you think you can solve your problems by hurting Blake, you're wrong." " Krystle, I have no intention of" " I don't like you, Ben." "And I don't trust you." "And if you ever do anything to Blake, in any way," "I'll see that you're locked up for good." "So don't even think of trying anything." "Because if you do, you'll regret it." "I promise you." "How long before we're there?" "We should be in San Francisco in less than half an hour and then we change planes." "In that case, I'd better go and powder my nose." "There's bound to be press waiting." "You know something, Blake?" "All those years ago, when I was just a kid," " I was in love with Alexis too." " Oh." "You were the lucky one who got her." "Still, in a way, I guess we're both well rid of her." "She's a tough woman to love." " Now, Krystle..." " What about Krystle?" "She's another story." "I never realised how much she loves you till today." "What are you talking about?" "Well, I ran into her." "She had a few words to say to me about not fouling up this trip in any way." "Strong words, filled with a strong love for you." "I was married to a woman like that once." "Melissa." "Never realised how lucky I was." "Took her for granted, completely." "Somebody to obey my every wish and order." "That's the reason why she decided to walk out on me." "And why she decided to take our daughter with her." "You've been in Denver all these months and now you suddenly tell me you've got a wife and a child?" "Yes, I do." "A lovely wife and a beautiful girl named Leslie." "And when was it that they walked out on you?" "Oh, 15 years ago." "They went to Canada." "I guess now you're gonna tell me that you tried desperately to find them." "Oh, I tried." "I wrote to Leslie hundreds of times, thousands." "But I only had a general delivery number and Canada is a little bigger than Colorado." "I never had an answer." "Still, who knows if the letters ever reached her?" "Or maybe her mother tore them up." "I see that you don't believe a word of what I'm saying." "Well, I don't give a damn, it happens to be true." "Why didn't you tell me before that you had a wife and a child?" "Considering the climate between us, Blake, since we were kids," "I don't see why I should tell you anything personal." "But for some reason today, seeing how much Krystle loved you," "I remembered what I'd lost." "Oh, forget that whole thing." "It's vital that I find out who's been making those calls to Denver." "Mr. Carrington, I told you." "It could take several hours for our computers to match the Denver number to the Sydney number." "I'll just keep checking with you then." "Meanwhile, I've gotta call my hotel to see if there are any messages for me." "We're the telephone company but I'm afraid you'll have to use the payphone, sorry." "Hello?" "I'm trying to locate a party by the name of Carrington." "Can you speak a little louder?" "This is the Carrington-Smythe Pub." " Who owns it?" " Bob Smythe." "It isn't Carrington?" "I just told you, his name is Smythe." "Tell me, are you as pretty a bird as you sound?" "Why don't you hop over here for a beer?" "Thanks for the invite but I'm not in the mood for a drink." " You're a Yank, right?" " Nope, wrong." "Canadian." "Bye." "Uh, it's the last name on the list, I'll just take a minute, all right?" "Sure." "It's warm in here." "Hello, I'm trying to locate a party by the name of Carrington." "I have a list here of all the Carringtons in the Sydney area and I wondered if" "That's right, "Carrington."" "You do?" "The Old Soldiers Home in Perth?" "How old is he?" "He served in the infantry in World War I." "Wrong Carrington." "Thank you." " Not much luck." " You were asking about a Carrington." " That's right." " Are you one?" "Me?" "No, I just made the name up this afternoon." "I was bored and thought what better way to have fun?" " I'm serious." " No, you're nosey." "You're good-looking but nosey." "This Carrington, what is he to you?" "He's just my father." "Look, it's been a long trip from Alberta" " and I haven't seen him in a long time." " What's your name?" "Leslie." "Actually, Leslie Saunders is what I go by." "I haven't found "Carrington" very congenial." "Now, if you happen to run across my father, Ben, tell him I'm looking for him." "Ben?" "I've gotta talk to you." "Wait a minute." "I'm so sorry." "Mr. Carrington." " Leslie!" "Mr. Carrington, I think we may have that information you want." "It'd be a good idea if you could stand by." "Would it be such a terrible thing if I didn't tell Clay?" "What, that you thought you were pregnant but you found out that you aren't?" "Sammy Jo, he'll understand." "But what if he doesn't?" "I mean, maybe I can keep trying to conceive and he'll never find out." "You can't base your relationship on lies." "But I love him." "And I don't want him to think that I trapped him into marrying me." "I don't think you're giving Clay enough credit." "I mean, you didn't set up this false pregnancy, it happened because you loved him and you wanted to have a child and you wanted to marry him." "You make it sound so easy." "Well, maybe you're making it more difficult than it should be." "You're going to have to tell him eventually." "I know." "Well, I have to be going." "I promised Kristina I'd come by the house before I go to the office." "Have you heard from Blake?" "No, but I'm sure he'll call later." "Tell him I said hi." " I will." "Sammy Jo, he will understand." "What very special little girl is gonna have a birthday when her daddy gets back?" " Me." " That's right, ha, ha." " And how old are you gonna be?" " Three, ha, ha." "That's very good, ha, ha." "And what are you gonna have for your birthday?" " A party, Mommy." " Yes, that's right." "She scored 100, Mrs. Carrington." " Well, I'm not surprised, ha, ha." " Me neither." "Jeannette, I've made a list." "How do you feel about 24 children?" "Oh, of course." "As they say, the more the merrier." "Oh, I agree." "Because for this little girl," "I'm going to bake the biggest cake I've ever baked." "And perhaps in the shape of Mother Goose." "Would you like that, darling?" "Yes, thank you." "All right." "Mother Goose it is then." "I'd better get back to the kitchen." "And now, little one, it's time for your nap." " Balloons too?" " What, for your party?" "Well, if I know your daddy, you'll have a hundred balloons." "All sizes and shapes and colours and some with your name on them." "How about that?" "Mrs. Colby and my brother, Ben, have requested a formal transfer of the South China Sea leases from their names to mine." "But my government's agreement was made with them." "Yes, Minister Han, But only after they'd convinced you that I acted dishonourably in the death of my mother." "And the situation has changed?" "Is that what you're telling me, Mr. Carrington?" "Yes, and I can prove it." "I have here papers signed by Mrs. Colby and my brother admitting that they lied in court in order to discredit me." "So in the interest of fairness and justice, won't you give back to me what is mine, sir?" "I find all of this quite hard to believe, Mr. Carrington." "But I will look these over and I will let you know." "Thank you, Mr. Minister." "Good evening." "Documents from Minister Han." "It's all wrapped up." "The oil leases now revert back to me." "I want your signatures on these papers." "I'm not signing anything unless I speak to Minister Han." "Oh, I must have forgotten to mention it." "He doesn't wanna see you, or you." "Really?" "And what underhanded trick did you pull to make him refuse to see me?" "I didn't need any tricks." "I told him the truth." "About how you two got those oil leases in the first place." "Now sign these papers." "Oh, by the way, I'd also like to inform you that we're flying out to the oil rig tomorrow morning." "What are you talking about?" "What rig?" "The headquarters rig in the South China Sea." "What the hell for?" "It's called a "transfer of authorisation" or "a smooth transition."" "I want that crew to know that, officially, I'm taking over." "Sign it." " I could kill you for this, Blake." " I'm sure you could." "Thank you." "I hope you two have a very pleasant evening." "Oh, excuse me, I'm looking for Miss Vera Nesbitt." " Who are you?" " You're Miss Nesbitt, aren't you?" "Are you familiar with the name Ben Carrington?" "No, I'm not." "But you made several calls to him in Denver, Colorado." " That's absurd." " Is it?" "Do you have any idea what is costs to telephone the States?" "Apparently you set aside a little pocket money for those calls." "Look, I don't like people barging in on me." "Miss Nesbitt, I know you made those calls." "The phone company keeps very complete records." "They sent you, didn't they?" "Nobody sent me." "I want to talk to you." "I want to help you." "Help me?" "How?" "You're in some kind of trouble because of Ben Carrington, true?" "Well, so am I." "And I think we can help each other." "I know we can." "Look, are you gonna leave me alone or am I gonna have to call the police?" "Do that." "Miss Nesbitt, this is $1000." "If you should change your mind about talking to me, there's a lot more." "I'm staying at the Intercontinental, Suite 1202." "I'll be expecting to hear from you." "Krystle?" " Yes, Dana?" "Everybody's un-favourite reporter, Gordon Wales, is here." "What does he want?" "An interview with Mr. Carrington." "Without going into any specifics, I told him he was out of town." " And he's still here?" " Mm-hm." "He said he'll talk with you instead." "In fact, he even insisted on it." " Shall I get rid of him?" " Yes, tell him I'm busy." " Okay." " Uh, on second thought..." "He could be dangerous." "Maybe I'd better see him." "Whatever you say." "Dana?" " Yes?" "Is something bothering you?" "No, nothing." "Anything to do with Adam?" "Oh, I don't mean to pry but..." "Well, I saw the two of you together at the ball and you seemed so happy." "Then these last few days, well..." "Krystle, I appreciate your concern, I really do." "But don't worry about it, whatever was between Adam and me is over with." "And it's just as well." "I'll send Gordon Wales in." "Hello, Mrs. Carrington, thanks for seeing me." "What can I do for you, Mr. Wales?" "Well, as you probably know, I'm back working for World Finance Magazine." "Yes, I've heard." "My first assignment is a story on Alexis Colby and what she did or didn't do to enable your husband to get everything back from her." "And he got a lot." "Isn't that right, Mrs. Carrington?" "Well, since the story is about Mrs. Colby," "I suggest you ask her about it." "Well, it's not that easy." "We haven't exactly been on speaking terms since she fired me from the Mirror." "It's obvious your husband has something on the lady." "Something damning." "I wanna know what." "You want to get even." "Partly that, and partly to get a very juicy story." "Now, I know that you're not very fond of Mr. Carrington's first wife" "Mr. Wales, some people enjoy putting a hatchet in someone's back." "I don't happen to be one of them." " That's it?" " That's it." "Mrs. Carrington, one day not too long ago, you came to the Mirror and you gave me hell." "Told me I should be ashamed, as a journalist, to be working for that rag." "I thought about that, and I did feel ashamed." "Not very proud." "I think that's why I pressed Mrs. Colby so hard that she had to fire me." "Thank you, Mrs. Carrington." "And if there's anything I can ever do for you..." "Well, I'll keep that in mind." "Well, now, this is a nice surprise." "I thought you'd still be at work." " I left early." " Hmm." "Come here." "Mm." "Hey, I've been gone for three days, Amanda." "There are rumours that you've gone into business with my mother." "And that your trip had something to do with it." "All right, I confess, the rumours are true." "Michael, how could you let her do it?" "What else could I do?" "All my cash is tied up in the Crater." "I had no alternative." "You did." "You could have sold out to my father the way I asked you to." "Now, wait a minute." "The way you practically ordered me to, you mean." "Well, I don't take orders, Amanda, not from anybody, and that includes you." "I'd better pack." "Just because I raised my voice?" "Michael, I don't feel comfortable with you anymore." "What is it with you born-rich girls anyway, that you bail out as soon as the going gets tough?" "Hey, oh, come on, no." "I'm sorry." "Don't leave me, please." "Don't ever leave me." "I don't want to, but I can't take what's happening." "We just need time together alone, away from all of them." "I'll tell you what." "Tomorrow, we'll drive up to Lake Royale." "We'll sail out to the north side to a little cabin I know of on a secluded island where we'll do nothing but make love." "Then what?" "What else?" "We'll make more love." "Steven?" "I was expecting Clay." "Is something wrong with Danny?" "No, no, no, he's fine." "Listen, Sammy Jo, I've been doing a lot of thinking." "I'm happy having Danny with me at the apartment, but he needs more family." "Are you thinking of moving back to the mansion?" "No, I was thinking about his immediate family." "His mother, you." "With you having a baby and knowing how much he loves it out here," "I'd like you to see more of him." " You really mean that, don't you?" " Yeah, ha, ha." "Surprised, huh?" "Uh, except, about the baby..." "What?" "Well, it isn't due right away so we're not exactly a family yet." "Well, you will be soon." "You know I've wanted Danny here." "All right, then it's settled." "Thank you, Steven." " Hello?" " Yes, this is Vera Nesbitt." " Well, what is it, Miss Nesbitt?" " You said there was more money." "That's right." "How much more?" "Fifty thousand dollars?" "For pictures." "All right, Adam, go ahead." "Don't let this one get away." "Hmm..." " Who is it?" "Let me in, Alexis." " Good evening." " You've been drinking." "Well, maybe a little." "Ben, liquor is not going to help you." "It never does." "We have to be up early, so you don't want to have a hangover when you introduce the crew to their new boss." "Oh, the hell with Blake." "If we work together, we can win it all back again from him." "No, Ben, this chapter of our lives is over for good." "Now, if you'll excuse me, it's late and I wanna go to bed." "I'm not going." "If you think we've lost out on the oil leases, all right," " but I'm not gonna lose you." " Stop it, Ben." "Stop it, you're drunk." " Take your hands off me." " I know you want me as much as" "Is this how you made love to Vera Nesbitt?" "Did you try and rape her too?" "What?" "Who?" "You heard me." "Vera Nesbitt." "What do you know about Vera Nesbitt?" "She was the head cashier at a casino in Macau." "You talked her into a scheme for cashing bogus markers." "Eight hundred thousand dollars worth." " Ha, ha, that's insane." " Not to anyone who knows you, Ben." "And then you left with all the money and you left her all alone." "The casino bosses are still after her, but I suppose you know that." "And I suppose you have proof of this." "Oh, yes." "Oh, yes, I certainly do." "I have five photographs of you signing the markers and of Vera handing you the money." "They were given to her by a security guard in exchange for sexual favours." "Vera destroyed those photographs." "They'd be incriminating and" "No, she didn't, she kept them." "And then she sold them." "Sold them?" " Yes, she sold them to Adam." " What?" "He's in Sydney right now, ready to deal with the casino bosses." "Oh, they sound like very angry men, Ben." "Not just because of the money, but because they want to make an example of you." "And you know how that's done, don't you?" "What do you want?" "Freedom from you and your threats for good." "Well..." "I take it that your silence means yes." "That's good, Ben." "I'm glad that we finally came to an agreement." "I'm going to bed now." "You know the way out." "I'll see you at the airport at the crack of dawn." "Since when do we knock around here?" "Hello, Dex." "Oh, Sammy Jo." "I thought it was one of my men trying to be polite for a change." "No, it's just me." "I came by to see Clay." "Uh, clay's about 60 miles from here." "He's out planting explosives." "Left about half an hour ago." " Well, when will he be back?" " Not till morning." " Not till morning?" "But I..." " But what?" "I, uh, packed a picnic lunch, and I just wanted to sit and talk." "I see." "From the way you look, it could be a serious talk." "No, just sit and talk." " Hmm, and eat too, right?" " Right." "Well, I don't think we should let this food go to waste." "What have you got in here?" "Roast beef sandwiches, chicken salad sandwiches." " Clay's favourites." " Uh-huh." "You know something, Sammy Jo?" "I was just about to heat up a can of chilli." " Ha, ha, let's eat." " Okay." " Here's some wine." "Roast beef." " Roast beef, my favourite." "I'm sorry you had to drive all the way up here and miss him." "I should have phoned first." "He'll be disappointed." "I hope so." "I mean, I know there are some men who don't like their wives interfering in their work." "No, I don't think he'll mind at all." "He is a very happy man, Sammy Jo." " You think so?" " I know so." "Sammy Jo, Clay is one of those rich kids who didn't take kindly to growing up with money." "He needed to prove himself." "In fact, he wanted to prove himself so much that he almost got himself killed in South America." " Did he tell you that?" " No." "You know something?" "You're the best thing that's ever happened to him." "You and the baby." "Now, that has changed his life." "I mean, I've never seen a man so happy to be having a child." "Hey, you okay?" "Dex," "I just love him so much." "Dana." "I just got back from the office and I was about to take a shower, Adam." "I just got back from Australia." "I had to come straight here." "Australia?" "I didn't know you were gone." "Ha, ha, you missed me that much?" "Let's just say that with your father away, there's been a lot to occupy me at the office and right now" "Dana, I thought about you every bit of the time I was away." "I kept hoping that you were missing me as much as I was missing you." "And that's the end of the speech it took me from Sydney to Denver to prepare." "You're actually saying that after the way we fought last time we were together?" "Lover's quarrel." "No, let's mark it down as a lot more than that, Adam." "You were trying to tell me what I could and couldn't do." "Just because I'm a woman, doesn't mean I have to take that." " You think I was calling the shots?" " You were calling them." "Dana." "Dana." "When you told me you wouldn't be working with me," "I got so upset I couldn't think straight." "I apologise, all right?" "All right." "The important thing is I love you." "More than anything in the world, I want you to love me." "Please." "Please." "That beauty will take you over to North Island in great style, as long as you know how to handle her, Mr. Culhane." " Oh, I'm an old swabbie, Mr. Dobson." " That's what they all say." "It's more than an hour's sail over to the island, and the weather can be very unpredictable this time of year." " We'll be fine." " All right." ""Swabbie."" "Steven, I didn't say I didn't believe you, I said I'd ask him about it." "Now, please, I have to go." "Michael?" "Steven says that your attorney's filed suit against my father." "That's right." "I was gonna tell you about it but I didn't wanna spoil our trip." "Great." "You're charging my father with mismanagement of the Crater and I get hear about it from my brother." "It's just a legal matter." "That's all it is." "No, Michael, it's a vendetta." "You've put me right in the middle of it and I want it stopped." "Well, I can't stop it." "You tell your father to stop it." "I'm not gonna be bullied by him or anybody else." "Thank you." " Mommy." "Ha, ha." "Hi, sweetheart." "We just had a nice talk with Mr. Carrington." "He phoned from the Orient." "He said he was on his way to an offshore rig and he'd be home in a couple of days." "I'll bet he sounded tired, huh?" "Oh, well, a little, but not when he sent you his love." " Me too." " Ha, ha." " Did your daddy send you his love?" " Yes." " Well, I'll bet he misses us both."
