"Michael." "Excuse me, Miss Amanda." "Are you alone?" " How did you get in?" " Yuri, I'll handle this." "You check the luggage." "How did you get in here, Amanda?" "Aren't you glad to see me?" "Of course I am, darling." "But that's not the point." "I want to know how you got in here." "That was easy, Michael." "I simply went to the desk, reminded them that I am your fiancee, and since I'm fairly well-known at this hotel, they let me in." "I'm sorry if I bothered you." "Amanda, please." "Yuri," "I want the security in this hotel checked and rechecked." "This is not to happen again." "Of course." "I'm sorry, darling." "Is this what it's gonna be like, Michael?" "I don't want to live my life under lock and key." "Even if we were locked in together?" "I love you, Michael, I do." "But I won't like feeling watched all the time." "Feeling caged." "All you'll feel is loved and protected." "Now, there's a guard at the door." "I mean, no one can get in." "We're safe, the two of us, in our own world." "Here, we can be anyone, do anything..." "Anything?" " Come in." " I'm sorry, Alexis." "I stopped by the apartment and Lin told me you were here working late." "Oh, I had a ton of work to do before I leave for Moldavia." " You want a glass of wine?" " No, no thank you." "What's the matter?" "You look upset." "Take a look at this." "What's this?" "Oh." "This woman." "You think she's Fallon, don't you?" "You see the resemblance too." "When was this photograph taken?" "About two months ago in Los Angeles." "Jeff, when you love someone as much as you loved Fallon, it's very hard to let go." "But if you want to live any kind of a normal life, you've got to give up the obsession." "Now, I thought you'd done that when you finished with Nikki." "I thought you were ready to face reality." "Well, I am." "This photograph is real." "I admit that she bears a superficial resemblance to Fallon, but" "Can you think of why she might have gone to Los Angeles?" " Anyone there she wanted to see?" " Jeff, this woman is not Fallon." "Fallon is dead." "I'm sorry to put you through this." "I'll be all right." "But, Jeff, for your sake and for the sake of your son, you've got to forget about Fallon and get on with your life." "Oh, Blake, it's wonderful to be home with you and Kristina again." "Well, speaking for the little one as well as myself, we're thrilled to have you back." "A penny for your thoughts." "Oh." "I was just looking at Kristina, thinking whatever Sammy Jo is now, she was once this vulnerable." "Darling, you must put Sammy Jo out of your mind." "You've done everything you could to help her, and she's given you nothing but trouble in return." " I know, but" " She's gonna end up hurting you." "Now, from now on, you better stay as far away from her as possible." "Please." "Blake, I promised Daniel that if anything happened to him," "I'd take care of Sammy Jo." "If there ever was someone who could take care of herself, it's Sammy Jo." "Now, forget your niece and New York, because I want your undivided attention." "You don't have to say anything." "Your eyes have said it already." "And your eyes." "What do they say?" "Did you enjoy the dinner, Jeff?" "Yeah." "It was, um..." "And how about the brandy?" "It's very special, you know." "Oh, they expect snow in Miami." "Jeff, look at me." "Where are you?" "You're certainly not here with me." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Dinner was delicious." "I don't care about the dinner." "I just care about you." "The last few days, you seem to be off somewhere in your own world." "It's that photograph I shot in Los Angeles, isn't it?" "That woman in the picture." "That face in the crowd, it" "It was Fallon." "I know it is." "All right, Jeff, I believe you." "It was Fallon." "Now what do you do?" "I'm sorry." "I'm not gonna be used to blot out painful memories." "You're not here with me." "You're someplace searching for Fallon." "I don't know where I am right now." "Then find out, Jeff." "When a man takes me in his arms," "I want to be the one that he's thinking of." "The one he's holding." "And when you can say that I am, come back." "But right now, I think it would be better if you go." "Good night." " Look, you don't really wanna go dancing, do you?" "Oh, I don't know." "Soft music, my head on your shoulder." "Well, I can arrange for soft music anywhere." "As for your head on my shoulder" "As I said, I'm at your command, Your Highness." "Good." " Gregor, we're going back to the hotel." "Yes, Your Highness." "But, Your Highness, everything has been arranged at the nightclub." "They are expecting you." "I have changed my mind, Yuri." "Sir, my job is to guarantee your safety." "I can't do that if you change your plans with no notice." "We're returning to the hotel." "Of course." "We were counting on you, Yuri." "What did you expect me to do?" "The prince changed his mind." "Everyone was in place, Yuri." "Everything was set." "I do not give the prince orders." "Well, I do give orders." "And I'm telling you, if you can't get the job done," "I'll find someone who can." "Is that clear?" "Quite." "Don't worry." "Next time, nothing will go wrong." "Jeff, up early and dressed for play." "Well, they say the early bird gets the worm." "Which one are you, Adam?" "If I were you, I'd concentrate less on my muscles and more on my brain." "Yours appears to have been under worked lately." "Oh, you're smug this morning." "Have you developed another plan for stabbing someone else in the back?" "Now, that's typical." "Make a mistake, you find someone else to blame it on." "Now you listen to me." "The work I did on the drilling rig, the papers I prepared and signed were correct down to the last period." "Someone got into my file, and altered that cable to Hong Kong." "Now, who would do a thing like that?" "If the drilling chief hadn't arrived on time," "Denver-Carrington would have lost millions." "Well, whoever it was, Adam, won't have another chance again." "Because no matter how early he gets up," "I'll be watching." "Good job, Luke." "Well, I'll have the revision on your desk in the morning." "Luke, we need to discuss more than just that ad." "I've been doing a lot of thinking about what you suggested the other day." "About the two of us living together." "Yes." "And?" "I can't, Luke." "I'm not ready to make that kind of commitment to anyone." "To anyone, Steven, or to another man?" " Luke" " No, Steven, I know you." "You have no trouble making commitments." "You've been doing that your whole life." "To your mother, your father, Danny, Claudia." "What you can't do is make a commitment to me because I'm another man." "And what would people think?" "Two men living together." "Luke, if you think I'm ashamed of our relationship, you're wrong." "Am I?" " Do make yourself comfortable, Dominique." "I intend to." "Just as I intend to make you uncomfortable." "I want an explanation." "Why do you refuse to go along with Blake and me on the sale of the Sumatra timber forest?" "Simple." "You and Blake are wrong." "We should hold on to it." "Tom Carrington himself put it on the market." "This is the very first good offer we've received." "You know it's in our best interest to sell." "Do I?" "Unlike your talent, Dominique, timber is a resource presently increasing in value." "The estate should hold on to it, and hold on to it, we will." "Now, since you and Blake and I are equal heirs, there isn't a damn thing that you can do without my approval." "End of discussion." "Good day, Dominique." "You know, Alexis, I have really had just about enough of you." "You and your pseudo-condescension." "This may well be the end of the discussion, but it certainly is not the end of the deal." "I will see you in court." "Good day." "Good, you've included Tyler and Betty on the list." "All your friends are invited to the wedding." "Daddy, what do you think of asking Lady Mitchell to take the photographs?" "Well, I think that's a wonderful idea, darling." "Really a very" "Where is Dominique on this list?" " I'm sure she's there." " No." "No, she isn't." "I don't understand it." "I gave your list to Mommy and mine, and I know her name was included." "Don't worry." "I'll be seeing her this afternoon." "She's giving a fashion show for me, and I'll make sure she includes Dominique's name on the guest list." "That's all right, darling." "I'll take care of this personally." "Hmm." "I think that's rather nice." "What do you think, darling?" "Not bad." "Actually, the shoulders are good." "They'd be better in another colour." "I'd love it in another colour." " Yes, that's good, isn't it?" "Well, I agree." "Thank you." "Alexis." " Hello, darling." "Hello." "Well, Blake, I didn't think that you were interested in haute couture." "Oh, yes, everything concerning my daughter's wedding interests me." "Including the invitation list." "May I have a word with you for a moment?" "Blake, we're in the middle of a showing." "They'll be around once more." "Sorry, darling." "You seem to have forgotten someone's name on this list." "No one of any importance." "Dominique Deveraux's name is missing, and she is important." "very important to me." "Really?" "Dominique is family, and I intend to have my entire family present at that wedding." "Send her an invitation." "I'm one of the few people in the world whom you don't intimidate." "But, since it's so important to you, of course I'll send an invitation to your dear half-sister." "Thank you." "You're very kind." "Hmm." "Sorry, darling." "Oh, that's divine." "Well, did you and Daddy come to any agreement?" "Typical of Blake to jump to conclusions." "If Dominique's name was left off the invitation list, it was merely an oversight, darling." "Now that's very nice." "May I see the fur, please?" "Hmm." "It's very good quality." "We'll get it." "Thank you." "Don't bother to wait, George." "I'll go home with Mrs. Dexter." "Well, they did say to meet them at 5, didn't they?" "They did, but the dinner reservations are for 8, just in case." "Well, as you know, I had my doubts about you and this marriage." "But I have to admit that I was wrong." "I hope that you and Amanda are both very happy together." " Thank you." " Oh, I'm so sorry we're late." "Amanda could not make up her mind." "That gives us time for a before-dinner drink." "Good." "valet, Mrs. Dexter's car, please." "Let's go." "Come on." "Take the other side." "Dex!" "Help!" " Stay here and shut up." "God, what's happening?" " What the hell is going on here?" "Unh." "Dex." "Oh, my God, what happened?" "Don't move." "Step on it." " Oh, my God." " Michael." "Michael." "Oh, my God." "Amanda." " Come on." " Michael, what's happening?" "Dex." " Michael, stay here." " Your Highness." " I'm coming." " Too dangerous." "Dex, you've got to save Amanda." "Oh, my God, Amanda." "Take a left." "Quick." "You're hurting me." "Stop." "Look out!" "Watch it, you idiot!" "Look out." "Amanda, are you all right?" " Yeah, I'm fine." "Michael, stay with her." "Oh, Michael." " Did you see them?" " Yes, yes, this way." "The street." "Oh, thank God you weren't hurt." "Mr. Dexter, I understand you and Prince Michael's bodyguards took off in pursuit of the kidnappers on foot." "Now, could you tell us what happened?" "We lost them." "Yes, but the authorities have the descriptions of the men, and they won't go far." "Your Highness, there has been some political unrest in your country." "Can you tell us if this was an act of terrorism?" "There is no reason at all to believe that." "But this was a planned" "The kidnapping attempt happened here in Denver." "But if there was a plan, it was probably drawn up by some of your notorious outlaws." "Mr. Carrington, your daughter's not the only Carrington to be the target victim of a kidnapping attempt." "There was your son Adam" "Yes, have any steps been taken to-?" "Everything necessary to insure the safety of my family will be done." "Now, if you'll excuse me, thank you very much for coming." "But, Mr. Carrington" "In regards to Michael." "Thank you very much." "Mr. Carrington, a couple of more words." " Just- Thank you very much indeed." " Good night." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Good night." "Well, I'm sorry to have to put you through all that, but I thought it was better to get it over with." "The important thing, of course, is that you're safe." "You've handled this all very well, Amanda." "Michael, I think you and I ought to talk about the wedding." "Mr. Carrington, I understand and appreciate your concern." "But I assure you that every security precaution will be taken." "Yes, and the first precaution is the wedding is going to be held here in Denver, not in Moldavia." "Blake, no." "This is not a private wedding." "This is a state affair." "The wedding will take place in Moldavia." "Where my daughter's safety is concerned," "I don't give a damn about affairs of state." "I want her guarded by people I know and trust." "Your precautions certainly did nothing to protect Adam or Little Blake." "So, what makes you think that Amanda is going to be any safer?" "You seem to forget, Mr. Carrington, we have a loyal army in Moldavia." "You can't provide more security than that." "He's right." "The last place that Amanda should get married is Denver." " Can't you see that?" " No, I can't." "It's my daughter that interests me." "Listen to me." "All of you." "I know you're only thinking of my safety, but Michael and I will be married on schedule, in Moldavia, exactly as we planned." "Adam, stop worrying about Amanda." "She's home now." "She's safe." "It's over." "It will never be over for her." "She'll never forget that moment." "I was lucky." "I was too young to know what was going on." "All I remember is the loneliness." "Isolation." "The feeling I didn't quite belong." "She's with people who will protect her and who love her." "And so are you." "Am I?" "Blake's beginning to have doubts about Jeff." "But I know that one false move on my part" "You're his son." "But Jeff's in his soul, Claudia." "I'm still held at arm's length." "Tested." "He saw us together." "It was clear he didn't approve." "Well, what are you going to do?" "Stop seeing me?" "Of course not." "I need you." " And you need me." " Oh, it's true, I do." "Sometimes I feel as if I'm two people." "One strong and determined, and the other is..." "Oh, Adam, hold me." "Oh, when you hold me, I feel as if I could do almost anything." "You can." " We can." " Hold me tighter." "Listen to me, Claudia." "Nothing Blake can ever do or say can keep us from each other." " Nothing." " No." "Forget about Alexis, Dominique." "Forget about Alexis?" "How?" "Oh, she fights me on absolutely everything." "Every idea." "But you're giving her a great run for her money." "You're part of Blake's family now, you're part of his empire." "You've accomplished a great deal here, haven't you?" "Have I?" "That depends on which me you're talking to." "Yes, I have accomplished a great deal." "And I have my family name now." "But what about the other me?" "That little Millie Cox who clawed and fought her way to get here." "Brady would say that I have betrayed her." "Sold her for 30 pieces of silver." "That's not true, Dominique." "Enough of that anyway." "So Amanda has asked you to photograph the wedding." "What have you told her?" "There was a time when someone would ask me what my plans were, and I always had an answer." "I always knew exactly what I would do next." "And now?" "Now..." "Now, I'm afraid I'm falling in love." "And I'm damned if I know what to do." "Papa One to Son One, do you read?" "Over." " I can't read, Daddy." " Oh." "Oh, no." "I know you can't read, Danny." "Hi." "How are you?" "Oh." "Do you feel good." "Mm." " Hi." " Hi." " What are you doing?" " You wanna talk to Daddy?" "Yeah, sure I do." "Come on, you show me how it works." " It's on?" "Uh-huh." "Okay." "Claudia to Steven." "Claudia to Steven." "Are you there?" "He's right there." "Oh, yeah, there he is." "You're right." "I'm not sure he completely understands this game." " It's good to see you like this, Steven." "Friends?" "Always." "Daddy's gotta go change for work." "So why don't you see if you and Claudia can figure out these buttons, okay?" "You want to, Claudia?" " Yeah, sure I do." " I'll turn it on." " See you later." " Bye." "Are we on?" "Okay." "From here?" "Claudia to Danny." "Heh, heh, heh." "Better go over there and hide." "Steven." "Could I talk to you for a minute?" "What do you want, Adam?" "I'm trying to figure out what you are." "What I am or who I am is none of your damn business." "Well, call me a student of human nature then." "I've always been fascinated by deviant behaviour, and you're classic." " I'm leaving." " You think life is a masquerade party?" "During the day, you're the loving father, the laughing friend." "At night?" "Oh, what a difference at night." "What do you want from me, Adam?" "I want you to leave Claudia alone." "If you're embarrassed and ashamed of your relationship with Luke, don't run to her for comfort and reinforcement." "She doesn't need you, and she doesn't want you." "How the hell do you know?" "Because I know what she needs and wants better than you could." "Stay away from her." "Or what?" "You gonna kill me?" "I'll make you wish you had never been born." "It's true, then." "What?" "The prince leaned down and kissed Sleeping Beauty." "If anything ever happened to you..." "What could possibly happen?" "They lived happily ever after, remember?" "Steven, how about some racquet ball this morning?" "Oh, I'd love to, but I promised to give Danny a riding lesson." "How about later this afternoon?" "Sure, it's Saturday." "I'm free all day." "Steven, I've got a great idea for the weekend after next." "Why don't we fly to Key West." " Deep-sea fishing?" " Why not?" "Sounds great." "No, wait, I can't, that's the weekend Amanda's getting married." "Oh, okay." "You're invited." "What?" "You're invited to the wedding." "I want you to be there with me." "Steven, I know I asked for a commitment." "And I want one." "But flaunting our relationship that publicly." "It can't do anything but hurt your family." "Is that what you want?" "No, that's not what I want, and we're not going to flaunt anything." "We're two people who happen to care for each other." "This is one way I can show you how much." "I want you to be at that wedding, as my guest, and my family's just gonna have to deal with it any way they can." "Now, if you put your finger here, and I put my finger here, and together" "Mommy and I used to play Chopsticks." "I thought she liked to play Chopsticks." "Well, she did, L.B." "Then why did she go away?" "And when my son asked me, why did she go," "I had to stop for a minute." "I didn't know." " But, Jeff, your son's question was" " What, innocent?" "Oh, maybe." "But the fact is, Fallon always ran from me." "From any form of commitment." "I've spent my whole life chasing after her." "If she's alive, she knows where I am, where her son is." "Let her come to us." "You say that now, but you're never gonna be happy until you find her." "But I am happy." "And I plan on being happy in the future." "And I want you to be part of that future." "Ashley, we have something very special together" "I have no intention of ever losing." " But, Jeff" " Ashley, I love you." "And I want you." "Oh, boy, looks like we're in for a tough trip." "What are you talking about?" "Alexis, I can always tell the kind of trip we'll have by the kind of clothes you pack." "When they're as dark as those, I know we're in for trouble." "I'm still worried, Dex." "I'm really glad that Amanda and I are leaving right away." "I'm frightened for her here." "Alexis, you're doing the right thing." "When those men grabbed her," "I felt as though part of my life was being dragged away." "Oh, Dex, it's the most awful feeling in the world to see something happen to your child and to be absolutely helpless to do anything about it." "I felt as though my insides were getting ripped out." "Amanda's just fine." "Thanks to you." "Oh, I'll never forget what you did." "You were so brave." "But I'm still so worried about her in Moldavia without us." "I've done some checking up on my own." "Moldavia has virtually no crime, a few political problems, but the king has them under control." " Are you sure?" " Oh, absolutely." "He's intelligent, handsome, wealthy, powerful." "Just like me." "In fact, the only thing about this trip that worries me is that the king might decide to go after the one thing he doesn't have." " No." " You." "Well, it's about time I gave you something to worry about." " Mr. Dexter?" " Yes, Lin?" "This just arrived for you." "Thank you, Lin." "Oh, my God." "Dex." "Oh, what is it?" "Mm-hm." "Yes, yes." "All right, now what about the arrival at the airport, between the cars and the boarding gate?" "Men will be stationed all along the corridor." " I have already cleared this with airport security." "In addition to our men, there will be uniformed guards as well as plain-clothes guards at five separate checkpoints." "Now, about the route to the airport." "Now, let's go over that once more." "Mr. Carrington, we've been over this many times now." "Michael, I don't care how many times we've been over this." "We're going to do it until I feel secure about my daughter's safety." "Mr. Carrington is right." "I will never forgive myself for what happened the other day." "It was my fault." "I am responsible." "And I assure you, Mr. Carrington," "I will die willingly before I allow anything to happen to Miss Amanda or His Highness." "Yuri, no one's blaming you for what happened." "You've been faithful to my family for many years." "Your devotion is unquestioned." "Excuse me, Mr. Carrington." "Prince Michael, your car is ready." "It's time to leave for the airport." "Michael, we'll be with you in a minute." "Yes?" "Thank you so much for everything, Krystle." "We're going to miss you." "But we'll see you soon." "Yes, thank you." "That's fine." "The van for the luggage will be here shortly, Mr. Carrington." "Thank you, Gerard." "Now, you're sure you don't want us to go to the airport with you?" "Oh, Daddy, this isn't forever." "You'll be seeing me in just a few weeks in Moldavia for the wedding." "All right." "But if you need me, call." "You understand?" "Goodbye, darling." "I love you, Daddy." "Mr. Carrington, don't worry." "Amanda will be the most beautiful bride ever to walk down an aisle." "And the happiest." "Mr. Carrington." "If anything happens to either one of them," "I will hold you personally responsible." "Remember that." "Don't worry, sir." "I know what my duty is." " I know these next few weeks are going to be difficult for you, but don't forget I love you." "And I'm gonna be with you every step of the way." "I know." "And you said it yourself." "We're going to live happily ever after." "Fallon." "Can I repeat a confession I made to you once?" "Depends on the confession." "There's a part of me that's never going to stop loving you." " Jeff." " Never." "You're the first girl I ever loved, you know that." "Yes, I know that." "What are you thinking?" "What are you feeling right now?" "I want you as much as you want me, but" "Oh, no, no." "No buts." "Now we both want each other." "We're alone together." "The rest of the world is a million miles away." "Fallon." "Fallon." "No!" "Damn it!" "You're dead, Fallon." "Look, miss, everybody" "Everybody, from the chief of police to the cleaning lady, wants to help you." "But if you don't tell anybody who you are, how can we do anything?" "Listen, all you have to do is answer one simple question." "What's your name?" "How can I tell you when I don't know myself?" "Please." "Help me."
