" I heard you get up in the middle of the night." "I came down to phone our people in Hong Kong." " Any news yet?" " No." "I told them I couldn't believe that they weren't able to come up with an answer yet from the Chinese on my leases, and that as of now, I was gonna handle things for myself." "So you'll be going back to Hong Kong?" "Yes, yes." "I'll be demanding an audience with Mr. Han." "And I won't leave until he agrees to give me back my leases." "Oh, darling, about tomorrow night" "Don't worry, I'll explain to Dominique why you can't make the party." " She'll understand." " Mr. Carrington." "Yes?" "This just arrived." "How could this have happened?" "Alexis, that's how it happened." "She did it to me again." "She was with my brother in Hong Kong." "This is Blake Carrington." "Put me through to Mrs. Colby." "No, no messages." "Her jet left Honolulu a few hours ago." "She's due back here in Denver at 11." "Well, I am going to be a reception committee of one to meet her at the airport." "This is going to be one homecoming she'll never forget." "What are you going to do?" "I'm going to strip her bare before the whole world." "There'll be television and newspaper reporters at the airport." "Yes, and they're gonna get an earful." "Blake, wait a minute." "This revenge, won't it hurt you more than her?" "I won't let her get away with this." "I can't." "Blake, you're being consumed by her poison, by your hatred of her." "I've got to stop her once and for all." " Good morning." " Good morning." "Have some champagne." "What is it, Alexis?" "For a woman who hasn't talked to me since we left Hong Kong, you're suddenly very friendly." "You went behind my back and you took those leases." "I was trying to take Blake and you succeeded in taking both of us beautifully." "So here's to the winner and congratulations." "What's the catch, Alexis?" "Oh, there's no catch, I'm just a good sport." "Oh." "Poor Jason Colby." " Colby?" " Yes." "Shipping the Chinese oil." "He's gonna have to deal with you now instead of Blake." "I predict fireworks." "Remember those oil leases that you sold him that really belonged to your father?" "That was over 20 years ago, Alexis." "Yes, but Jason's like an elephant, he never forgets." "There'll be trouble all right, but I'm sure you can handle it." "Alexis, you did marry Jason's brother." "He'll deal better with you." "With me?" "How?" "Well, since I'm giving you half of the leases..." "Oh, no." "No, you can't do that." "Why not?" "Because you won, and I lost." "Alexis, I'm not being generous." "I'm being smart." "I want us together, two barracudas chewing up my brother." "Do we have a deal?" "You're such a persuasive man, Ben." "Yes, we have a deal." "Gerard, this is Miss Deveraux." "May I speak to Mr. Carrington, please?" "I see, all right." "I'll call him at the office later." "Yes, thank you." " Good morning, Mother." " Jackie." " This is Mr. Daniels." " Daniels?" "I'm an old college friend of Garrett's." "He invited me to the party." "You must be Richard Daniels." "Garrett has told me about you many times." "Welcome." "Thank you." "It's great to finally meet you." "Have you already checked in?" "No, I'm a day early." "I've been having a little trouble getting a room." "Well, I will fix that in one minute." "I'll be right back." "Garrett's a very lucky fellow, she's beautiful." "Yes, she is, and she's more than beautiful." "She's smart and sensitive." "And there's absolutely no one in the whole world like her." "Well, she must be terrific, because she's captured the last of the confirmed bachelors." "Bachelor?" "Oh, I don't understand." "He's been married before." "Garrett?" "Heh." "No way." " I don't see how that could be." " Simple." "He managed to dodge all the beautiful ladies in his life before your mother." "Yeah, but..." "Well, it's all taken care of." "You have a lovely suite overlooking the golf course." "Great, maybe the view will help my game." "Thank you." "I'll see you both in a while." "Okay." "A very nice-looking young man." "What's the matter?" "Oh, nothing, nothing, Mother." "I just remembered, I have to go and get a fitting for my gown tonight." "You had a fitting for your gown yesterday" "I know, I know, I'm in a hurry, Mother." "Goodbye." "Mrs. Dawson." "Mrs. Dawson." "Yes, Miss Reece?" "Have Danny ready in five minutes." "Mr. Fallmont is gonna be picking us up." " He'll be ready." " Good, I'll be waiting down here." " Sammy Jo, about Danny." " What about him?" "I told you before, you're not supposed to take him off the grounds." "Don't tell me what I can and can't do." "The judge told you." "Doesn't that mean anything to you?" "Well, maybe I'm above the law." " Like you." " Oh, really?" "Your little reckless-driving accident, letting Clay Fallmont take the blame." "That's none of your business." "But if I were you, I would not take Danny out." "He's my son and I'll take him wherever I want." "As long as you're dishing out advice, Amanda, take some from me." "Learn to start dealing directly with what's really bugging you." "And what's that supposed to mean?" "You're jealous because I'm going out with Clay." "Why can't you just be honest and admit it?" "I am being honest." "Why don't you try it for a change?" "Claudia." "I knew you'd come once you got my message, Blake." "Yes, my secretary said that you had phoned and said that I was a liar." "That I was lying as always." "What is this all about?" "Lankershim One." "You stole it from me." "Well, we can't keep going over and over this thing." "I'm very busy." "I'm on my way to the airport." "Now, Claudia, I've tried to help you over the years." "Now, first, you call me a liar." "Now you're calling me a thief." "No one has stolen that well from you." "It belongs to Denver-Carrington." "It's not my personal property, do you understand that?" "You're pretending that Adam didn't fill you in." "That well is really mine, finally." "And don't you take me for a fool, Blake." "I know what you're doing." "I know that you're siphoning off that oil so that I'll become "poor Claudia" again." " Claudia, you're not making sense." " Oh, no?" "You mean, you didn't tell Adam to tell me that that well is practically worthless?" "I've barely seen Adam." "I've been in Hong Kong." "And what he told you about the well is true, it is drying up." "But how did this well suddenly become your property?" "This, Blake." "When you were too sick to know what you were doing, your devoted son Adam had you sign a power of attorney so that he could steal from Denver-Carrington." "You cheated me, Blake." "Adam cheated you." "There's a certain sort of justice in it all, I suppose." "Well, I'll discuss this with Adam." "But meanwhile, what he told you about the well is true." "It is drying up." "As a matter of fact, this whole field is drying up." "It happens." "But..." "I'm sorry, Claudia." "Now I have to go." "Where are you going, Blake?" "Blake, just a minute." "Don't go yet." "Where are you going, Blake?" "I'm not finished with you yet." "Blake, listen to me." "Blake, I don't want you to go away." "I'm not as dumb as you think I am." "You stole that well from me, Blake." "Where are you going?" "You're not finished with me yet." "Mrs. Colby, there's word that during your stopover in Los Angeles, you intimated that you and Ben Carrington are now partners and are sharing the South China Sea oil leases." "Is that true?" "Yes, Ben Carrington and I are indeed partners and we intend to handle the South China Sea oil production honestly." "I repeat, ladies and gentlemen, the keyword is "honestly."" "The Chinese will be paid everything that they are due." "Unlike Denver-Carrington, Colby Co." "always pays its debts." "Bravo, bravo, Mrs. Colby." "Now I would like to tell you reporters and television people a little about Alexis Colby's honesty." "I have known her and her duplicity for years." "It's time the rest of the world knew something about it too." "I have here a manuscript written by the person who knows her best, her sister, Caress Morell." "What is he doing?" "It's a true story about the kind of a woman Alexis Colby really is." "And the story is so revealing that Mrs. Colby tried to suppress it by buying the publishing company that was about to print it." "I'd like to read some portions of it for you." ""My sister, dear Alexis, who has a superb record of infidelity and chicanery, reached the heights when she joined in framing me for a murder and sending me to prison-"" "This piece of fiction belongs to me." "And if you ladies and gentlemen of the press print one word of this trash," "I shall have no alternative but to sue all of you for libel and defamation of character." "I have additional copies of that manuscript in my car, if anyone is interested." "Oh, welcome home, Alexis." "And have a nice day." "What kind of a son are you?" "Stealing an oil well from our company and presenting it to Claudia." " What else have you stolen?" " Nothing, I swear it." "I'll believe that when I have time to check it out." "Is that why you tried so hard to stop Steven from looking through your files?" "Well, answer me, I want the truth." "Or what?" "You've already cut me out of your will." "I cut you out of my will because you abused your authority here." "You didn't learn from that." "No, you had to turn on me again." "Pulling this trick." "I was sick and tired of being treated like an orphan in this family." "Yes, I made a mistake, Father." "I was fighting for my life." "My life as a Carrington." "You had no intention of ever reinstating me, of treating me like your true son." "Well, now you can prosecute and finally be rid of me." "That's what you've wanted, from the day I walked back into your life." "What about that day that you walked into my room and got me to sign this?" "A day that I was so sick I couldn't read the paper I was signing." "What about that day?" "Well, I have taken enough from you, Adam." "Now get out of here." "Get out." "Get out of my sight." "I can't stand to be in the same room with people I can't trust." "I could kill that damned Blake." "He's trying to make me look like a complete laughing stock." "Alexis, there's nothing you can do." "I am going to be on every newscast in the country tonight." "I'm going to be trashed in the tabloids and all because of him and that miserable manuscript of my sister's." "Oh, come on, this will blow over." "Until the newspapers can prove it, they won't print of what she's written." " But it's all a pack of lies." " Look, Alexis, we know that." "That's not gonna stop them." "They're just gonna keep on digging." "Calm down, Alexis." "It will blow over." "Besides, we have the leases, we have the power, so who cares?" "I care." "It's my name that's being dragged through the mud, mine." "Careful, careful." "Don't get too carried away." "I am not carried away." "I'll show him." "I am going to take away everything that Blake Carrington has ever worked for." "I'm going to drag him into a pit so deep that he's never going to get out." "This is war, Ben." "And you'd better be sure that you're on my side this time." "I will be." "But a warning, Alexis." "Don't let this obsession get the best of you or else you might push too hard, and you could lose." "Oh, no, Ben." "Ever since I came back to Denver, I've been winning." "And I'm going to keep on winning because I am this close to destroying Blake Carrington forever, and I will." "Blake, you must know I'm your friend but" "No buts, Bob, this is business." "I want an extension on that loan." "You say that very easily." "We are talking about ELC holdings, about $100 million." "Yes, that's exactly what we're talking about." "Blake, I hate to say this, but the backers are concerned about your ability to make good on it." "I have the money." "All I need is an extension of ten days." "Now, do I get it?" "I don't know." "I'll have to talk with my backers." "All right, fine." "Now, you do that." "I'll be getting in touch with them within the hour." "I'll expect to hear from you then." "This is Bob Ashmore." "I've just been with Blake." "He's asking for more time." "Well, tell him the answer is no, Mr. Ashmore." "And to him I suggest he check out the nearest diner." "Because that's where he'll be eating in the future." "What are you doing here?" "Well, I heard about the incident at the airport." "There are so many fascinating facets to your personality." "Yes, there are, aren't there?" " I'm calling security." " Have me kicked out?" "That wouldn't look good in print, now, would it, Mrs. Colby?" "What do you want?" "No, it's "What do the readers of World Finance wanna know?"" "More information about your sister, Caress." "Specifically what that chapter in her book about the South American incident was really about." "It's all nonsense." "You didn't watch her go off to prison for a crime she didn't commit?" "No." "Well, maybe I should talk to her about it." "Where is she, Mrs. Colby?" "I haven't the slightest idea." "She's disappeared." "Oh, just like that?" "Mrs. Colby, I'm digging and I won't stop digging." "Now, about your sister's whereabouts..." "Look, I told you I don't know where she is." "And as far as I'm concerned, she's dead." "Guard." "Guard." "You said you were absolutely sure that my message had been delivered to the authorities." "So why?" "Why haven't they answered me?" "They say you must serve out the rest of your sentence." "Two more years." "After all those unbearable years I've already suffered in this hell?" "I'm sorry, senorita." "Guard, there's something else you can do for me." "This letter." "I want it mailed." "It's the last favour I shall ask, please." "Please?" "Mr. Blake Carrington?" "Yes, in Denver, Colorado." "It's vital that he gets it." "I helped him once." "Now he'll help me." "My whole life depends on that man." "Please, please." "Now, just a minute, Mr. Ahmed." "Your people agreed to lend me $1 billion." "You can't just cancel that, out of hand." "Not out of hand." "Your collateral has ceased to exist." "The South China Sea leases now belong to your brother." "I've been on the phone with the Chinese." "I'm trying to get them to send a representative here so we can talk." "About getting your leases back?" "Mr. Carrington, I don't think they'll change their mind quite so easily." "But in any case, I did raise the money for you." "It was deposited in New York to be drawn upon as needed." "And my fee of $250 million is still due me." "You expect me to pay for money that I'm never going to see?" "That's ridiculous." "I won't do it." "Then I suppose there is the alternative." "What alternative?" "The consortium." "They intend to sue you, to demand a lien against your company's assets." "All right, I'll go to the consortium and talk to them." "Who are they?" "I don't think that will do you much good." "Let me be the judge of that." "Who are they, who's in charge?" "Mr. Ahmed, I asked you something." "The consortium is Alexis Colby." "What?" "That's right." "I put up the billion dollars." "I should have known that money came from you, handed out by the devil." "What do you want, Blake?" "It's been a very long day." "I'm here to tell you what should be obvious." "I haven't the slightest intention of paying you that fee for money I never received." "Oh, really?" "Well, I put up the money in good faith." "And I intend to collect every penny down to the last thin, but beautiful dime." "Unless..." "Unless what?" "I'll call off the $250 million debt." "In exchange for the same amount of Denver-Carrington stock at market price." "Which would give you controlling interest in Denver-Carrington." "Exactly." "Before I'd hand over those shares to you," "I'd sell them on the open market." "Do that and watch them plummet." "You won't raise enough to settle your debt and your empire will crumble." "On the other hand, if you sell to me privately, your debt will be settled once and for all." "I swear I'll see you in hell before I let you take anything from me." "Oh, I don't just want anything, Blake." "I want everything." "This time I'm going to get it." "Sooner than you think." "So let me understand." "You are offering me Titania Records, two nightclubs and practically everything you own in the world in order to bail out Blake and yourself?" "Don't bother to tell me that it isn't enough, Alexis?" "Because I do realise that." "But it is a very healthy down payment." "And who will pay the rest?" "Blake, of course." "When he's back on his feet, and he will be back on his feet." "Not if I have anything to do with it." "Good God, Alexis." "Is this vendetta really that important to you?" "This vendetta, as you call it, is probably the most important thing in my life right now." "Your totally empty life." "Poor Alexis." "Devoting all of her energy to hate." "What do you suggest I do with my energy?" "Charity work?" "I don't think there's a charity around that would take you, but enough." "Because tonight is my engagement party." "But this is fair warning, once it's over, I'm coming back to fight you." "Because you see, I've dealt with dirt like you before." "Listen to me, Dominique," "I finally have Blake and all of you exactly where I want you and I'm not about to let any of you off the hook." "Morning, this is Mr. Carrington." "Have any overseas telexes come in this morning?" "Ah." "Nothing from Hong Kong or Peking?" "Thank you." "What is the matter with those people?" "Why don't they get back to me?" " Father, I've got to talk to you." " Not now, Adam." " I'm busy." " But" "I have things to do and I don't want to discuss this right now." "Darling, I know the world is crashing around you, but Adam" "He should have been supporting me all this time instead of betraying me." "He admitted that what he did was wrong." "Yes, but he did get me to sign that power of attorney." "Right now, he was reaching out for your help." "He needs your guidance, not your anger." "Krystle, he has done terrible things to me." "Well, no matter what he's done, he's still your son." "Just because he's my son doesn't put him on my side." "Ben is my brother, look what he's done." "Alexis is the mother of four of my children, look at what she's done." "I don't need Adam." "I have enough enemies to deal with right now." "I was told my mother was coming to visit you, Mrs. Colby." "Yes, Dominique was here, but she just left." "I'm sorry to have bothered you." "I have to find her before tonight." "Jackie, is something wrong?" "It's nothing I can talk about." "Come in." "Close the door." "You said tonight." "Does it have something to do with Dominique's engagement party?" "Does it concern your mother?" "And someone else." "Garrett Boydston?" "You don't approve of him?" "I did." "You did?" "What happened?" "I'm sorry, it's very personal." "Well, come and sit down." "If this affects your mother and her happiness, maybe I can help." "You know, your mother and I have a lot in common." "We're both strong, powerful business women." "We've both had to struggle to make our way in life." "If it weren't for circumstances," "I'm sure that we could be very good friends." "In fact, I know we would." "So..." "Tell me, darling, what's the matter?" "Dexter, what a surprise." "I'm here to see Alexis." "Well, she's not here." "And if she were, I don't think she'd want to see you." "She's through with you, friend." "And taken up with you?" "Well, if she has, why not?" "I've given her everything you couldn't." "Helping her in this insane battle against your brother?" "And then what, Carrington?" "Now, what are your plans for Alexis after that?" "That is my business." "Maybe I wanna make it mine." "In case you've forgotten, the woman divorced you, Dexter." "After that incident with her daughter, she considers you scum." "And that is what you are." "Pure scum." "Stop it." "Will you stop it?" "I don't know what you're doing here, Dex." "But as usual, you've caused damage, now, I want you to get out of here." "Do you hear me?" "Get out." "It's getting late." "Aren't you going to finish dressing for the party?" "When are they going to phone to set up a meeting?" "Where is their representative?" "Why the silence?" " Darling, I know how important this is." " lmportant?" "Krystle, darling, if the Chinese don't send a man here to talk to me about this thing, you know what that means?" "It's a final and emphatic "No."" "Do you realise how much we stand to lose?" "Of course, I do." "I just think it would be good for you to get away from this house and to stop thinking about it so much." "This is no time for me to be away from the phone or from the house for that matter." "In case somebody comes by here for me." "Darling, if someone shows up," "Gerard will phone us at La Mirage and we'll hurry back." "Besides, this is a special evening for Dominique and Garrett." "Garrett." "Yes." "Why didn't I think of that before?" "He could be helpful." "I can talk to him there." "Good, we'll go to the party." "Ha-ha-ha." "Hello." "Hello, how are you?" "I just can't wait any longer." "Something's bothering you." "What's wrong?" "Is it Blake?" "Tonight you shouldn't be worrying, not about anything." "It's our night." "Garrett, I know that you're right." "Good evening, Miss Deveraux." " Good evening." "Here's a very lovely young lady." "Thank you, Garrett." "Well, how about "Thank you, Dad"?" "That will take some getting used to." "Mother, you look beautiful." "Thank you, darling." "I'll join the party." "I'll see the both of you later." "All right." "You know, I think she needs to dance with Twinkletoes Boydston." "That ought to cheer her up." "Oh, darling, please, don't step on her toes." "Dominique." "Good evening." "Good evening, Alexis." "I was sure you knew, this is a private party." "Oh, I know." "And I wouldn't dream of crashing it." "But I was dining in the gourmet room and I wanted to give you a very special engagement present personally." "There is nothing I want from you, Alexis." "Oh, you'll want this, dear." "Interesting man, your fiance." "Let's discuss him." "Surely you understand that I'm not in the mood to discuss Garrett or anyone else with you." "Oh, does that include his so-called first wife?" "Yes, that does include Jessica." "Jessica." "Ah." "Well, I think that I should tell you as a friend that there never was a Jessica." "That your fiance has never been married." "Oh, good God, Alexis." "Do your lies never stop?" "Are you calling me a liar?" "Oh, I find that very amusing." "Well, I suggest that you check it out with Garrett Boydston yourself because he gives a new meaning to the word "liar."" " Alexis." " Yes?" "I didn't thank you for your present." "It's he you should slap, dear." "Not I." "Mrs. Colby's table, please." "Alexis." "What do you want, Dex?" "I need to talk to you, alone." "Excuse me for a minute, Alexis." "What's that for?" "To cover the damages at the apartment." "You don't know me very well, do you, Dex?" "It seems I don't know you at all." "Not anymore." "That's because I'm finally extremely happy." " Are you, Alexis?" " Yes." "I finally have everything I've always wanted, money, position, power." "More power than practically any woman in America." "And I've done it all myself." "For what, Alexis?" "I mean, what are you doing it for?" "Because it pleases me." "Is that all right with you?" "No, it's not all right." "You're hanging around with a creep like Ben Carrington." "When I could have you?" "It's over between us." "But I can't help thinking what it could have been if we stayed together." "Together we were the best." "And we'd have had it all, and we wouldn't have had to steal or cheat to get it." "I'll miss you, Alexis." "Not the woman you are now, but the woman you were with me." "Good evening, Krystle." "I wanna ask you something, Alexis." "What?" "Are you so insecure that you'll go to any extreme to get what you want?" "When is enough enough?" "When I say so." "You know, I don't care how all of this turns out." "Because what's really important in life you'll never have." "Krystle, dear, I know what's important and I'm getting it." "No, you'll never get it." "Blake and I have each other, we have a home, a family." "You'll never have what I have, Alexis." "Never." "All right, Ben." "Time to move on, let's go." "Go where?" "On to the main event." "Surprised?" "Honest answer?" "Yes." "You thought you'd go behind my back and deal with Bob Ashmore." "But I got there first." "Is there no limit to what you'll do, Alexis?" "Not anymore, Ben." "Not anymore." "Bill, Miriam." " Oh, Blake." " Garrett." " Congratulations." " Thank you." " Can I offer you a drink?" " Yes, thank you." "Well, it's a very special night for you, isn't it?" "It certainly is." "I don't know whether this is the best time to bring this up, Garrett, but I want to make an offer to Jason." " An offer." " Yes." "I need a loan." "A very sizeable loan." "And I'm willing to put up my Denver-Carrington stock as collateral against that loan." "I'll pass it along, Blake." "But I can already tell you the answer." "Alexis phoned Jason in L.A. the other day and they discussed a deal in which Jason will ship the South China Sea oil." "You tell him not to do any business with her, not under any conditions." "Because that oil is mine." "Now, it was swindled away from me, but I intend to get it back." "Look, Blake" "At this very moment, I'm waiting for one of Minister Han's men." "And when he gets here, I'm going to get those leases back." "The fact is, you don't have the oil." "There's nothing else we can do, we're forced into this." "Burying the body before the funeral, huh, Garrett?" "Well, I'm not dead." "I'm very much alive." "And I'm gonna fight this until I get those leases back." "And you can tell that to Jason Colby." "I want to dance with the most beautiful woman in this room." "Excuse us, please." "Garrett, I am not in the mood for dancing." "Dominique, I thought you promised this thing with Blake wouldn't get you down tonight." "Oh, but what's in a promise, Garrett?" "I mean, you promised to love, honour and cherish Jessica, didn't you?" "What are you talking about?" "We've never really talked about Jessica, have we?" "The wife that kept us from getting married, kept you from getting to know Jackie all these years." " Listen, Dominique" " Oh, I am listening." "But you're not gonna say anything even now." "It's hard to erase all those years of lying, isn't it, Garrett?" "By the way, when did you plan to tell me that Jessica never really existed?" " At the altar?" " Dominique." "Whatever I may have done in the past, I love you." "I've always loved you." "Garrett, you just leave me alone." " Excuse me, Mr. Carrington." " Yes?" "I have a message for you, sir." "There's someone waiting for you at your mansion." "Did they say who it was?" "No, sir, you should get home right away." "Thank you." "Darling, it must be the Chinese representative." "I knew they'd send a man here." "I have to leave, if you wanna stay, I'll send the car" " No, I'm coming with you." " All right." "It's getting kind of stuffy in there." " Yeah, it is." " Yeah." "You know, Amanda, I have wanted to dance with you all night." "Let's do it right here." "Right now." "Okay." "You know, Clay, there were times when I was really abrupt with you." "And I just wanted to say I'm sorry." "And I hope we can be friends from now on." "Hmm." "Tsk." "No problem there." "Clay, would you get us more drinks, please?" "How about you, Amanda?" "No, thanks." "And you, Amanda, can run along now." "Is he your personal property suddenly?" "I don't have to answer to you about anything, including the men I date." "And Clay is my date tonight." "Well, I suppose you better enjoy him while you can." "What's that supposed to mean?" "I asked you something." "Well, here's your answer." "Oh!" "Well, miss perfection, you look like a cat on a rainy night." "You pathetic little twit." "You'll never get Clay, Amanda." "He wants a real woman, not a plastic excuse for one." "I haven't finished with you yet." "Ah!" "Oh!" "Looks like you've had enough to drink." "Why don't you try some coffee?" "Why this sudden show of brotherly concern, Steven?" "I'm drinking to Claudia, wherever she is and wherever she's going, out of both our lives." "Liars." "Liars." "Blake." "Adam." "Steven." "Alexis." "Krystle." "Sammy Jo." "Liars." "All of you." "Liars." "Liars." "All of them." "All of them." "Blake, our luggage." "Yes, what's that all about?" "What the hell are you doing here?" "This cable from Han arrived a little while ago for you." " I took the liberty of opening it." " You did?" "His answer is no, Blake." "He's not sending anyone." "There's nothing to talk about, it's all over." "The hell it is." "Oh, it is." "You're broke, wiped out." "You heard him, Blake." "You're finished." "You've lost everything." "And I now own this house." "This house?" "Are you insane?" "Oh, no." "I'm perfectly sane." "So, take this junk and your blond tramp and get out of my home." "You are insane." "This isn't your house and it's never going to be." "Oh, you're so wrong." "It's all mine, Blake." "And I have the papers to prove it." "Papers?" "What papers?" "What are you talking about?" "I bought all of your holdings, including this house." "And there's absolutely nothing you can do about it." "Damn you, Alexis." "I'm going to kill you." "Don't." "Don't." "No." "Blake." "Ben." "Help."
