"What do you mean they won't be coming?" "I mean the money's gone, Alexis." "The companies went bankrupt." "Last time on Dynasty:" "Why didn't it decompose?" "If a body is so cold that the bacteria won't break down the tissue, it's gonna stay the way it was." "You know, your father seemed awfully upset when I told him how old that body was." "He was just startled, like the rest of us." "I didn't hurt anybody, did I?" "Of course not." "There's nothing to worry about." "I was thinking, though, maybe I did see something at the lake." "Remember that nightmare I had?" "One thing led to another." "It was the only time since the divorce." " What?" " That we were together." " It was a one-time thing." " What?" "You slept with her?" "My regards to your wife." " I hope she's feeling better." " Thank you." "And your daughter." "She's a little concerned about how all this is affecting my wife." "I get the feeling she's concerned about how it's affecting you." "Eat mud." "You stay out of my arena, and I'll keep clear of the pipeline." "What do you say?" "Time we buried the hatchet?" "As long as it's not in my back." "Mommy, why are those people going inside the box?" "Do they live there?" "Yes, darling." "That's their home." " You're selling the hotel?" " I'm doing a lot of things, as usual." "Fifty-six million dollars?" "Another four and a half from Vitron?" "It would be criminal if those two companies went belly-up too." "Not to mention an incredible coincidence." "You're quite a warrior, Sable." "When I'm fighting for something that's mine." "Take those upstairs." " Excuse me." " Morning." "Fallon." "What are you doing?" "Nothing." "Looking for something." " In the basement?" " Yes." "Do you mind?" "Calm down." "I know you're upset." "So am I." "This business with Krystle is getting to all of us." "I'm sure you're deeply concerned about Krystle, Adam, kind and caring person that you are." "Yes, as a matter of fact, I am." "And I need to talk to you." "You heard something from Los Angeles?" "No, not yet." "But I've been thinking about what Krystle told us yesterday." "Dad needs us, and that means you and I and Jeff have to figure out a way to work together." "Adam Carrington, team player?" " I wanna do what's right." " That's a first." "If you want a signed confession of all my sins, you got it." " I'll wait for the movie." " Fallon, people change." "I've changed." "I am worried about Krystle." "Why don't I believe each and every little word you're saying?" "Oh, it's amazing." "I get farther with Jeff Colby than I do with my own sister." " You talked to Jeff about this?" " That's right." "And we figured that we could avoid some of the confrontations by dividing up the responsibilities." " Show Dad we can work as a team." " Amazing." " We've got to pull this family together." " You truly are one of a kind." "Oh, forget it." "I just wanted to fill you in on what Jeff and I talked about." "Obviously, you aren't interested." "What were you looking for in the basement?" " Pictures of my children." " Oh, I see." "Dr. Goldberg to Emergency." "Dr. Goldberg to Emergency." "I'm sending Krystle's test results to Dr. Roland in New York." " Dr. Roland?" " The surgeon I talked to you about." "The one I wanna bring in for Krystle." "Well, then you've decided on the surgery?" "I wanted a second opinion." "Well, couldn't he tell from the other tests?" "Do we have to put her through that all over again?" " Blake." " No, no, she's had enough, Charles." " What if this was your wife?" " Blake." "We might be able to use a new drug, but it's highly experimental." "What we're testing for now is Krystle's reaction to that drug." "And if she were my wife, I'd do exactly the same thing." "Charles, I'm sorry." "I guess what I really want you to tell me is that it's a mistake and that she's gonna be all right." "Look, why don't you go back to the hotel, get some rest?" " No, no, no, I'm fine." " I'm not so sure about that." "Dr. West, call the operator." "Dr. West, call the operator." "Nice work." "Blake." "Virginia." "What are you doing here?" "I spoke to someone at the house." "They told me Krystle was here." " You came all the way from Dayton?" " Yeah." "I called the hospital and said I was Krystle's cousin." "Can you believe they wouldn't tell me anything?" "Nothing." "I had to come." "How is she?" "Well, they just took her in for another test." "Look at you." "I'll bet you haven't eaten since last night." "But I've got just the thing for you." "I brought it from the airplane." " I'm really not very hungry." " Come on, you gotta eat." "Keep your strength up." "Sit down." "You know, there's some soup downstairs." "Real fresh from the vending machine." "Virginia, Krystle told the family last night." "How'd they take it?" "They didn't know what to say, they didn't know what to do." "They kept trying to reach out to me." "I know they wanna help." "You should let them." "I guess I really don't know how." "I've been keeping this in for so long, not telling anything to anybody for fear that Krystle would find out about it." "But it is out now." "You told them, you told me, there's no more secret." "You can let go of a little bit of the weight now." " I'm so glad that you're here." " Me too." "You know, I keep making these bargains." "God, please let Krystle be okay, and I'll never complain about anything again." "Please make her well." "Please make her well." "And I'll do anything." "Can you believe it?" "I even promised to give up chocolates." "I've made the same bargains." "She's gonna make it, Blake." "She has to." "Look at us, Jeff." "Couldn't get along even then." "It's the guy in the morgue." " Here's our old buddy Arnie." " Oh, Arnie, it doesn't look good." "You're looking at 15 years, maybe 20." " For what?" " You're a hard man to track down." " Who let you back here?" " Officer at the desk." "I've been trying to reach you all day." " Hey, sweetheart." " Shut up." "Uh, yeah, yeah, I got your messages, but as you can see, I've been..." " Tied up?" " Hey, look, Zorelli, it's okay." " I mean, if you wanna talk to the lady..." " Did I ask for your permission?" "Um, why don't you let me get rid of Prince Charming here, okay?" "Have a seat." "Zorelli." "Yeah." "Let me get it." "Yeah, yeah." " Say, you got anything to smoke?" " It's here somewhere." "Cigarette." "You got any?" "Can't you guys get organised there?" "No, sorry." "What about gum?" "You got a stick of gum?" "Something?" "I think so." "What's that file number again?" "Get the file, get the number, call me back, and we'll do this right, okay?" "Yeah, yeah." "No, no, no trouble at all." "I got nothing better to do." "It's kind of hard for me to reach from here." " Aah!" " Get away from him!" " You all right?" " Yeah, I'm fine." "And I was gonna cut you a deal." "Get him out of here and book him for attempted." "Get that damn thing out and burn it." "Zorelli." "You gotta be crazy going up to a guy like that." "This isn't a game here." "You ever hear of Patty Hearst?" "Wanna spend six months in a closet?" "I'm sorry." "I made a mistake." "All right." "All right." "You want a cup of coffee or something?" "Some water." " Are you all right, Miss Carrington?" " Yes, I'm fine." "Gotta be careful around police stations." " Not the safest places in the world." " I see that." "So, what did you wanna see me about?" "The man in the lake." "I wanna look at him again." "You do?" "I see." "This might sound like a stupid question." "Why?" "You told me to call you if I remembered anything." "Oh, yeah." "Right." "So, what do you remember?" "I'm not sure." "I just thought that if I could see him again, maybe it would connect with something." "Well, if you think that you know him, sure." "I didn't say that." "I just..." " Oh, look, forget it." " No, no." "Hey, if you're feeling something, let's check it out." "I'll call the coroner, we'll set something up, okay?" "Zorelli." "What happened in there with that guy really scared me." "You were wonderful." " Thank you." " They don't call me Zorro for nothing." "What is it?" "A rose crystal." "I want you to have it." "When I was 10 years old back in Dayton," "I had pneumonia real bad." "Those doctors didn't think I was gonna make it." "I couldn't even have any visitors." "But somehow, somehow, I don't know how to this day, Krystle snuck in." "She gave me this rose crystal." "She said it had magic healing powers." "But for me, the magic was having a piece of her so close." "God, how I idolised her." "I don't think she ever realised what she meant to me." "Virginia, I can't take this." "I want you to have it." "I want you to give it to Krystle." "For the magic." " The magic." " Yes." "The magic is getting it from someone you love." "I'm so glad that you're coming back to Denver with us." "So am I." "My, you look wonderful." "Darling, are you sure you're up to going out to dinner tonight?" "After all, you've had those tests all day long." "I feel fine." "As a matter of fact, I haven't felt this good in a long time." "I'll leave you two alone." "You're coming out to dinner with us, aren't you?" "No, thanks." "I have other plans." "Besides, I heard something about you two having dinner in your room tonight." " Is that true?" " Yes." "I thought we'd have a little celebration." "Remember this?" "Yes." "And I remember the first time I held you in my arms, and I said to myself," ""I am never gonna let her go."" "You know, today was a turning point for me." "It started when I saw Virginia." "It's funny, feeling that my life was at an end and seeing someone that I cared for when it was just beginning." "It was kind of like an omen." "We talked a little about the past, and then we began to talk about the future." "Yeah." "What about the future?" "Blake, I've had a wonderful life." "But I realised that I still have so many things that I wanna do." "Things that it takes time for." "So I made a decision." "I decided that I'm not gonna die." "Well, I see you got your office all set up." "Hey, Dex." "What brings you over to this side of town?" "I don't know." "I heard that there was a good fighter in town." "You know, takes a hell of a punch." "Good kid." "Anybody I know?" "You know," "Fallon wants a divorce, so I give it to her and I finally get over that, right?" "Then Sammy Jo comes along, and she doesn't wanna get married." "So I wait." "Then Fallon decides she wants to play doctor, and Sammy Jo decides she wants to get married." "Fallon ends up in the backseat of my car, and Sammy Jo sees it." "What am I doing wrong?" "Try cutting down on your marriage proposals." "I do that a lot, don't I?" "What's going on?" "Jeff, you're pretty tight with Alexis." "She's, uh..." "She's in trouble." " What kind of trouble?" " You know a guy named Fritz Heath?" "Sure." "Colbyco's comptroller." "He was there when Uncle Cecil was with the company." "Stayed on when Alexis took over." "He's got her into some pretty bad deals." "There's a chance she could take a hard fall." "How can I help?" "He's a financial man." "Now, he's got Colbyco into a lot of grey areas." "Creative financing, junk bonds." "Now, you speak his language better than I do." "Help me find out what's going on." "I don't know how much help I'll be, but I'll take a look at the books." "Give me a minute to shower." "I knew there was a reason I liked you." "Ha, ha." "Here, go ahead." "Give it a try." "All right." "Here we go, Fritz." "Come on." "No pain, no gain." "I feel so empty." "Exhausted, I guess." "You probably used up all your strength punching me out in that horse trough." "Not so bad, was I?" "You thinking about Krystle?" "You know what I've been doing all day?" "Listening to myself breathe." "You ever do that?" "Listen to yourself breathe to make sure you get enough air so that you can stay alive?" "My mom had an asthma attack once, and she ran out of the house saying that she couldn't breathe." "What she meant was that she couldn't breathe easy." "The whole time that she was gone, I was breathing real hard, like I was breathing for both of us." "I was so scared that she would die." "That's what I've been doing for Krystle." "Ever since she told us..." " Ever since she told us about herself." " Yeah." "There's gotta be a way." "I just wanna reach inside her and tear that sickness out." "She can't die." "She's the only family I've got left." " Where are you going?" " I'm gonna call the hospital again." "Hey." "Krystle's not the only family you've got left." " There's a phone call for you, ma'am." " Oh, thank you." " Hello?" " It's Zorelli." " Zorelli who?" " Rjght." "Listen, I was just wondering if, uh..." " If what?" " If you're okay." "And you said something about wanting to come and see your friend." " My friend?" " From the lake." " Yes." "Yes, I do." " Good." "Good." "Why don't you come down to the station, say, in about three hours?" " Fine." " Then I'll take you over." "She's coming in." "I don't know why, but something tells me there haven't been many days in Blake Carrington's life when you could find him out on the beach, playing with the sand." "Ha, ha." "When I was a little boy, somebody gave me one of those hourglasses, you know?" "Uh-huh." "Where the sand runs down from one side into the other." "Well, it bothered me, you know, to see the sand running out like that," " so I did a pretty dumb thing." " Ha-ha-ha." "I took the top off, I put a lot of sand in, and I packed it down very tight so it couldn't move and it couldn't go down through." "I guess what I was trying to do was make time stand still." "Maybe you still can." "You know the rose crystal that I gave you last night?" "Virginia, that was a beautiful gesture, but don't make me believe in miracles." "Blake, I know what the doctors are saying." "They don't think she's gonna live." "Even with the surgery, they don't think her chances are very good, but..." "Krystle is very sick." "She's got something that is real." "It couldn't be any more real than your love for her." "Yeah, but this is something else." "We're dealing with hard medical facts." "I know." "Facts." "Facts, facts." "Yes, of course, this sand is a fact." "And the ocean and the sun and the trees and the horizon out there, they're all facts." "But there's something else too." "They're miracles." "This whole universe is a miracle." "When Krystle says she's not gonna die, she's asking for one little bitty miracle more." "Maybe, just maybe, she'll get it." "She thinks she will." "I appreciate what you're trying to do." "I know the power of positive thinking." "My God, I've been motivating people all my life." "I saw an accident a couple years ago." "This little girl was trapped inside a burning car." "All the doors were sealed shut, and she started screaming." "Her dad broke away from the crowd, ran over..." "I know, he ran over there and he tore off the door by sheer force." "I read those stories too, but..." "Virginia, if you think I've lost hope, then I've given you the wrong impression." "I'm the last person to deny what faith can do." "I couldn't deny it." " I love Krystle too much." " Good." "Because she thinks she can live, and she needs us to believe that too." "So, what you're saying is that Fritz Heath," "Cecil's best friend and the man who I've trusted for years, has been playing games with my money." "That's what it looks like." "He and Sean were able to shift money from one Colbyco account to another." "That way, when a payment came due, they could stagger the books and cover it." "We're not just talking about switching money." "We're talking about money disappearing." "I mean, where is it?" "What happened?" " October the 19th happened." " The stock market's Black Monday." "Yeah, I do know what happened on October the 19th." "Well, when the market crashed, you took some pretty big hits." "Sean invested in a lot of junk-bond situations, some very high-risk companies, and he couldn't have done that without Heath's blessing." "It's just incredible." "I mean, does he think we're stupid?" "He must have known that we were going to investigate this whole thing." "I mean, why did he come back?" "That's something you're gonna have to ask him." "The only thing I can figure is he wants something else." "He's willing to risk coming back to get it." " What?" " That, we haven't figured out yet." " Well, keep figuring." " We will." "We will." "Well, I wanna be there when you slit his throat." "Oh, I'm not going to do that." "I'm gonna make him believe that he's the only man in my organisation that I can count on." "I'm gonna let him get so close." "Since he's the only one who knows the way," "I'm gonna let him lead us out of this mess." "Then I'm going to slit his throat." "I suppose this whole thing is my fault, really." "When I was running for governor, I gave away so much control." "But I am never going to do that again." "Never, ever, ever." "Well, there is some good news." " Sean is still dead." " Besides that." "The deal on the hotel, it's done." " And in cash." " Great." "The only hitch is the consortium that bought it wants to take possession right away." " You're selling the Carlton?" " Yes, Jeff." "I need the money." "I'd just feel better if I knew who the principal buyers were." "I don't care if they're Bulgarian cannibals as long as they come up with the cash." "Ah." "Heh." "I may make mistakes occasionally, but I always learn from them." "Dex, catch." " How did you do that?" " Years of practice." "And here you are." "Keep your noses to the grindstone, boys." "I'm late." " I know." "Can I see him now?" " Uh, I don't think you really want to." "Of course I do." "Why else would I have come here?" "Well, the problem is he seems to have an allergic reaction to being dead." "What does that mean?" "Well, he's broken out in a pretty bad case of decay." "You see, after a while, when a body's been dead, it sort of just, um..." "Okay, okay." "Uh, but why didn't you protect it or something?" " I don't understand why no one..." " Hey, hey, take it easy." "What are you getting so upset about?" "It's not the end of the world." "I just wanted to help and..." " And we appreciate it." " But if I can't see him..." "Let me ask you a question." "Would a picture of him do it for you?" " You have a picture?" " Sure, we do." "We do good work around here." "Come on." "Have a seat." "It's not his most flattering side, but take a look at him anyway." "Take your time." "I have some business downtown, so when you're finished, uh, just drop the folder off with Rudy outside, okay?" "Yes, thank you." "Let me ask you a question." "How come you're thinking so much about dead guys when there are so many nice live ones around?" " Like who?" " I'm available." "Really?" "A person could do worse." "It is you." "Yes, well, Mr. Heath promised that he'd get back to me, but he hasn't yet." "Would you please tell him that Mrs. Colby is very anxious to talk to him?" "What on earth is going on up there?" "Ugh." "Would you please stop that?" "Excuse me, Sharon." "I'll be right back." " What is going on here?" " Redecorating, ma'am." "Well, I didn't order any redecoration." "Would you please stop it?" " I've got a crew here." " I don't care what you've got." " I am ordering you to stop." " Sorry, ma'am." "I'd like to oblige you..." "Will you stop that hammering?" "It's giving me a headache." " Do you know who I am?" " Listen, lady..." "No, you listen to me." "I am the owner of this hotel." "Previous owner, darling." "What are you doing here?" " Redecorating this hotel I just bought." " You bought?" " Excuse us, please." "Take five, guys." "Yes." "Didn't your friend Dexter tell you?" "I sold this hotel to Pavilion Resorts." "Mm-hm." "I own Pavilion Resorts." "So now I own the Carlton." "Really?" "Well, you may have bought more than you bargained for." "Why did you buy my hotel?" "But that's what Pavilion Resorts does, darling." "It acquires rundown properties that have been poorly maintained, like yourself." "Funny." "Your husband, the one who dumped you for your younger sister, didn't find me poorly maintained." "That's what this little vendetta is all about, isn't it?" "First L.A., now here." "After all these years," "I think you still bear a grudge against me." " Really?" " Yes, really." "Over my relationship with Jason." "But it's all so ridiculous because it really didn't mean anything, especially to me." "Don't flatter yourself." "You never had a relationship with Jason." "Actually, you're right." "That's true." "It was more like a fling." "But it was terribly romantic." "He was mad about me." "Remember?" "Alexis, consider this official notice." "I want you out of here in 30 days." " On whose orders?" " On court orders, if I have to." "And if I have to, I'll nullify the sale." "I won't be kicked out of my own home." "Kicked out or thrown out, the choice is yours." "I really don't care how you go, but you will go." "You are so amazingly vindictive." "Did you really buy this entire hotel just to evict me?" "Of course not, darling." "Getting rid of you is just part of the upgrading process." "Now, if you don't mind, my men wish to get back to their work." "I'll help them." "Oh, please." "I haven't finished with you, cousin." "Not by a long shot." "Oh, you're finished, all right." "You just don't know it yet." "Ha, ha, I'm glad you're back, Mrs. Carrington." "Oh, thank you, Jeanette." "So am I. This is my cousin Virginia." "She's gonna be staying with us for a while." "This is Jeanette." "She's, um..." "Well, she's part of the family." " It's a pleasure to meet you." " Thank you." "Oh, you can take Mr. Carrington's bags upstairs." "He's at the office." "Kristina's just finishing her piano lessons," " and she's been asking for you." " Oh." " Do you mind?" " No." "No." "I'll be fine." "I'll be just fine." "Okay." "I'll just give her a quick kiss and be right back." "I'll take your things upstairs to your room." " What?" " Your bag." " All right." " All right, there we go." " Uh, I'll take that myself." "Thanks." " Oh." "If there's anything else you need." "I know." "I felt the same way when I first came here." "Come on." "I'm gonna show you your room." "You're gonna love it here." "Yeah, that's right." "Fritz Heath." "Any personal accounts you can get ahold of." "No, no, you didn't hear a thing." "Uh, work on it, okay?" "Yeah, and I owe you one." " How could you do this to me?" " Are you trying to tell me something?" "Of all the people to betray me." " Wait a minute." " Why did you do it, Dex?" "What did Sable do?" "Did she offer you a piece of the action or her lily-white body?" "Listen, I didn't know she was behind the hotel sale." "I'm as surprised as you are." "In your quaint, Country-Western vernacular, in a pig's eye." " Who do you think you're talking to?" " I'm talking to you, cowboy." " The man I trusted." " Alexis, think back." "I'm the one who wanted to check on those buyers, but you said, "Oh, no, go ahead."" "When will I learn?" "When will I ever, ever learn?" "Sit down." "Every man I've trusted, every man I've believed in, has turned around and stabbed me in the back." "Sit down." "Now, you wanted a short escrow, I got it." "You wanted all cash, I got that too." "I also wanted to continue staying at the hotel." "But thanks to you, that woman has given me a month to get out." "I've never been so humiliated in my whole life." "Don't you think I'd cover you on that?" "Now, I found a second buyer for the land around the hotel." "So what?" "The deal includes the leasing of your suite." "And do you know who the buyer is, Alexis?" "Me." "There's your suite." "Here's what I think of your charity." "I don't believe this." "I am standing in your office spending my time cleaning up your mess." "Well, you're making enough mess yourself." "Well, Dex, I want you out of my office, because this time, we're through." "Tell me something I don't already know." "Divorcing you was the best move I ever made." "Well, I'm glad I could help you make one good move in your life, Alexis." "Please slam the door on your way out." "Claire." "Claire, you make me feel like..." "Well..." "I haven't felt that way in a long time." "Now drop the other shoe." "I just want you to know how much I appreciate you." "Appreciate me?" "Adam, I didn't sleep with you as a mission of mercy." "Or maybe I'm the one who has my signals crossed." " Claire..." " Look, I'll make it easy for you." "I'm fired, aren't I?" "I just think that under the circumstances, our working together isn't such a good idea." "Fine." "I'll clear out my desk." "Wait a minute." "Three years of college and I keep making the same dumb mistakes." "Claire, listen to me." "I don't wanna stop seeing you." " Oh, lucky me." " Try to understand." "This is a critical time for the company, for me." "I can't be distracted." "And you are a very distracting woman." "Unbelievable." "I finally get a job I'm perfect for and then I go screw it up." "Thank you, Mr. Carrington." "I always enjoy an object lesson." "Maybe I'll learn from this one." "Claire, you didn't do anything wrong." "Here, here, here." "I want you to have this." "Until you get resettled." "Why didn't you just leave it on the pillow after you were through?" " That's not why I gave it to you." " Oh, really?" "Well, just so there's no misunderstanding." "Thank you, Mr. Colby." "You." "Sit." "What's next?" "Roll over?" "Play dead?" "No, that's too easy for you." "I need you to learn a new trick." " Play smart." " Please." "I know that it's hard for you to break old habits, so I'll give you five minutes to irritate and annoy me, then I'm gonna leave." "You know what I came across the other day?" "Some pictures of us when we were kids." " And guess what we were doing." " Fighting." "Right." "Boy, you're not so stupid after all." "Clock is ticking." "Jeff, you're gonna have to listen to me, so you might as well stop trying to cover up the fact that we still like each other and will probably be friends for the rest of our lives." "Okay, buddy, what's up?" " About you and Sammy Jo." " Oh, forget Sammy Jo." "She embarrassed me the other day." "She's only 5'4"and I'm 6'2", and she almost knocked me out." "She's gonna break her hand one of these days." "I've got a few loose teeth myself." " She hit you?" " Uh-huh." "She's gonna be all right after all." "And, Jeff," "I don't know what to do." "Looks like that dead guy at the lake." "And look who he's standing next to." "My God, it's Blake." "He did know him." " Yes, he did." " Sable." " Hello, Fallon." " Give me that, please." "What are you doing here, Sable?" "Oh, didn't Alexis tell you?" "I bought the Carlton." " You what?" " Hello, Jeff." "You seem the same." " Pleased to see me?" " Not at all." "Mother sold you the Carlton?" "Well, people in financial difficulties do all sorts of things." "Ha, ha." "This is an expensive piece of real estate." "I'm surprised that Jason's money has lasted this long." "If that is an insinuation, Jeffrey, think back to the origins of your own wealth." " I earned my money." " Yes." "By the sweat of your Aunt Connie's brow." "Excuse us." "Can't you see we were discussing something?" "Yes, I can." "Now, that picture you're so interested in, that wouldn't be the man that they found at the bottom of your father's lake?" " Would it?" " What do you know about this?" "Fallon, please." "Not very much, but if that is the man..." " Who is he?" "Did you know him?" " Somewhat." "But not nearly as well as your mother did." "You just show that picture to her." "Who is he, Mother?" "What did your father tell you about him?" "Nothing." "Who is he?" "Why do you want to know, Fallon?" "It's the man who was murdered at the lake." "What?" "Hold it right there." "She's got another picture." " Can you get any tighter on it?" " I don't know." "I can try." "How about one more time?" "I think it's show- and-tell time." "You seem to be the only one still working." "Actually, I'm not." "I haven't been coming in much lately and I'm just checking my mail." "Adam's been using the office until things get organised." "Come in." "Come in." "I could say that I was just in the neighbourhood, but the truth is, I wanted to see you." "I didn't know you were here in Denver." "Well, I'm making a move here." " I've bought the Carlton." " You have?" "Well, I'm surprised that Alexis sold it to you." "You two dislike each other so much." "Well, that hasn't changed." "She didn't realise that I was the buyer." "Ah." "I have been worried about you." "Well, about Krystle." " How is she?" " Oh, she's..." "I'm sorry." "I know what a private person you are." "I don't mean to intrude." "I'm just so fond of you both." "Even though we don't really know each other all that well, but..." "Now, Krystle..." "Just makes this other situation so difficult." "What other situation?" "The man in the lake." "Oh, my God, of all times to be confronted with that ugly piece of the past." "Seeing his face again must have been horrible for you." "I'm amazed you've kept it a secret this long." "God only knows how Alexis will react." "Blake..." "I've just seen his picture." "His picture?" "Mm-hm." "With you in it." "Fallon had it." "She was showing it in public." "Sable, I appreciate your concern, but frankly, I'm a little puzzled by it." "I mean, first in Los Angeles and now here." "Trust me, my concern is genuine." "And it's strange, but I've always had this way of finding myself exactly where I'm most needed." "And what is it that you think I need?" "A friend, Blake." "I think you need a friend." "Rough day?" "Does the word "women" mean anything to you?" " What'll you have?" " Double Scotch." "Oh, I'm having the calls from my room transferred here." "Yes, Miss Sills." "What a surprise." "You should've worn that the other day." "Could I have made a better deal for the hotel?" "No, but it would've been nice to see how much you had to offer." "Now I know what to wear next time." " As little as possible?" " Ha, ha." "What are you doing here?" " Trying to forget." " What?" "Well, now that you're here, I can't remember what." " And you?" "Heavy date?" " Oh, middleweight." "Was your client satisfied with the sale of the hotel?" "Alexis?" " She is not an easy woman to satisfy." " Neither am I." " Cabernet, please." " Yes, ma'am." "It was an interesting negotiation, wasn't it?" " You were very good." " So were you." "You failed to mention that Sable Colby was the buyer." "It would've been easier if you'd put all your cards on the table." "Oh, sure, but a lot less fun." "Long, straight highways bore me." "Twists and turns, Dex." "They're what make for an interesting life." "Hm." "You're an ambitious woman." "I keep my eyes open to the future." "Phone call, Miss Sills." " Thank you." "Hello?" "Yes." "That sounds lovely, but I think I have something new" "I have to work on tonight." "Hold on." "Are we going to continue this line of seduction?" "No reason not to." "Oh, I'm sorry, Bob, but it looks like I'm gonna be tied up after all tonight." "Sure, another time would be fine." "Thank you." "Good night, Mr. Carrington." " Night." "What the hell do you think you're doing?" "It wasn't enough for you to beat the hell out of him, was it?" "It wasn't enough for you to send me away from my children forever." "What are you talking about?" " I'm talking about Roger Grimes." " What about him?" "Fallon showed me the picture of you and him together." "All these years, I never knew what happened." "I thought you frightened that beautiful young man away from me." "Alexis, Roger Grimes came into our house." "He had an affair with you." "And he deserved to be more than frightened." "He was with me because you never were." "He filled a void in my life because you didn't give a damn about me." "The things you're talking about happened a lifetime ago." "A lifetime?" "It wasn't a lifetime for him." "He was only 25 years old when you killed him." "I did not kill Roger Grimes." "Save your breath, Blake." "I've heard your lies too many times." "Your whole life has been a lie." "You know it and I know it." "Well, I haven't decided how, and I haven't decided when, but I'm gonna make you pay for killing Roger Grimes."
