"My God." "The car went out of control." "I couldn't help it. I couldn't see those people standing there." "Save it for the cops, mister." "Fallon." "Officer, call an ambulance." "Right away, Mr. Carrington." " My God, what happened?" " She went running out of the hotel." "I tried to stop her, but she kept running." "I'm telling you, it wasn't my fault." "She lust ran out of nowhere." "You gotta believe me." "It will be all right, Fallon." "You'll be all right." "Thank you." "You know, the staff is beginning to refer to this conservatoy as Mrs. Colby's room." "Are they?" "I stopped by a music store and I got you these for the piano." "Beethoven, Brahms and Bacharach." "Thank you." "You know, it's a beautiful day." "Maybe you'd like to sit in the garden." "Kystle, please, not now." "I don't wanna be waited on." "I don't wanna be smiled at, I don't wanna be told what a beautiful day it is, okay?" "Kirby, I know what you're going through." "I lost a baby too." "And I know the feelings of hurt and anger." "But I also know that you have to open up to others, not keep eveything inside." "Well, that's fine for you." "You have someone you can reach out to." "You have a husband who loves you." "And, of course, you have all of this." "I'm a downstairs girl." "We're expected to keep our feelings to ourselves." "Kirby, in this house, you're loved for who you are, not what you are." " Hello, Adam." " Hi, Kystle." "Well, I've got things to do." "I'll see you both later." "Am I glad you're home from the hospital." " This is home, isn't it?" " Yes, it is." "There was a time I was beginning to wonder where l belonged, with whom." "You belong here with me." "You still wanna mary me even though you know I don't love you?" "You will, I promise." "Whatever it takes, however long it takes, you're gonna love me as much as I love you." "I hope you have enough love for both of us, because I've decided to accept your proposal." "Oh, Kirby." "That's wonderful." "Yes, it is, isn't it?" "Now we'll have eveything we ever wanted." "You'll be in your father's favour once again, you'll have your family, I'll be a Carrington, one of the ladies of the house." "What more could I possibly want?" "Children." "Beautiful children." "Oh, yes, Carrington children, only the best." "Kirby, that doesn't sound like you." "You're a loving, sensitive woman." "You're not" "Hard and calculating?" "Watch me. I learn fast." "Dr. Sweeney, please call the operator." "Dr. Sweeney, please call the operator." "Dr. Walcott, what is going on?" "All this time, my daughter is still lying there unconscious." "Now, damn it, I wanna know what's wrong." "You hired me, Mr. Carrington, because I'm one of the best neurologist money can buy, not because I babysit anxious parents." "All right, what have you found out?" "Well, I've examined the patient, I've studied the x-rays." "The chest plate was clean, so was the cervical spine." "She has, however, suffered a minor fracture of the occipital bone." "That's at the back of the head." "Minor?" "She's unconscious for God's sakes." "Actually, Mr. Colby, your ex-wife is in a coma." "However, our tests show that she has suffered no severe brain damage." "But I have no idea how long she'll be in a coma." "We'll just have to wait and see." "You have no idea?" "Doctor, is there anything that you do know for certain?" "Yes, Mr. Carrington, there is." "That your daughter is best served by you and I not wasting time challenging each other's credibility as doctor or parent." "Agreed. I'm sory." "Believe me, Mr. Carrington, when I know something, you'll know it." "Thank you vey much, doctor." "Dr. Castellí, call your o_íce." "Jeff, if anything happens, call me." "I'll be over at La Mirage." "Someone there that I want to see." "Mr. De Vilbis' suite, please." "Checked out?" "How about his lanyer, Maurier, is he still there?" "Nurse Schubert to Radíology." "Good." "Thank you vey much." "You're going to tell me where he is, Maurier, or by God, I'll make you pay for it." "All right, look, De Vilbis ran out on me too." "Thanks to him, I'm out 25 grand." "Then talk, damn it." "He's catching the next flight to New York." " And then where?" " Morocco." "There's no extradition treaty with the U.S." "Once he gets to Morocco, Carrington, you can't lay a hand on him." "Oh, no matter where he goes, I'll find him." "I'll track him down if it takes the rest of my life, you hear?" "I'll see to it that he rots in jail." "Yes?" "Put him on, operator." "Airport Security, this is Blake Carrington." "The police are on their way out to the airport, I want you to hold all the planes to New York." "I don't care what it takes." "Do it." " Goodbye." " Thank you." "Sundale Aírlínes announces the arríval of flíght 317." "flíght 317 from St. Louís now arrívíng at Gate 11." "I'm sory, sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to empty your pockets." " Must be the key." " Probably, but just the same." "Sundale Aírlínes passenger," "Míss Judíth Pane, please use the wíde..." "Okay." "I'll have to ask you to open your attaché case." " l don't understand." " Please, open." "Thank you, sir." "Lift up the scarf." "Officer, I need Security backup over here right away." "This man has what appears to be drugs in his attaché case." "Blake, can I explain?" "And this is for my daughter." "Aírport políce to the securíty area." " Aírport políce to the securíty area." " We got him, Mr. Carrington." "I got him." "This time you're lucm, De Vilbis." "I would have killed you." "Think of something to argue about." "Why?" "Because this afternoon has just settled our last argument." "I'd be willing to settle another one." " Don't you ever get tired?" " Sure." "But never tired of you." "You know, it's a vey strange thing, but the more I say no to you, the more interested in you I become." "As you know real well, I'm the only one that won't take your "no" for an answer." "Oh, really?" "Well, lust don't ever step your bounds, Mr. Dexter." "What bounds are those, Alexis?" "My personal life." "Particularly my family." "You can say anything you want about me, but don't ever criticise anybody close to me or my family." "Does that include your ex-husband?" "Oh, no." "Anyway, that's none of your business." "Oh, but it is." "When somebody makes you unhappy, when it takes your attention from me, then it's my business." "They say that this food gives you plenty of strength." "Blake Carrington, where does he fit in?" "You claim it's over, but you spend a hell of a lot of time, energy and passion on that man." ""Passion." Have some sushi." "I'll take an oyster." "Yes, that's right, passion." "You can call it bitterness, hate, but the fact is," "you're as absorbed about him as much as you ever were." "Darling, he is the father of my children." "And your first love." "You know, they never go away, Alexis, those first loves." "Just like you'll never let go of your children, you'll never let go of Blake Carrington." "Are you afraid that you're gonna lose me to the memories of Blake and my children?" "I don't wanna lose you to anything." "That's right, Dex." "You can't lose me." "You can't lose something that you never had in the first place." "This conversation is becoming boring, you know that?" " You wanna be left alone?" " Yes." "I do enioy my own company just as much as you enjoy it." "Excuse me." "Hello." "Oh, Kystle." "Oh, what can I do for you?" "Fallon?" "Oh, my God, what's happened to her?" "Alexis, I'm sory." "We tried calling you, really." "Where's Fallon?" "Where's my daughter?" "She's unconscious." "I wanna see the doctor." "Yes." "Yes, all right." "And, Kystle, if there's any change at all, call me." "Thank you, darling." "Eric, I'm sory, I can't get into this right now." "I've got too many things on my mind." "Listen, Blake, this is a terrible time for you, I know." "Under normal circumstances, you could avoid it." "But, frankly, we need an answer." "State chairman of the party, that's a big responsibility." "That's why we need a big man." "You." "Blake, we want the statehouse back." "We need new legislation in the economic area, the environmental area." "The start-back campaign is gonna take a man with power, influence and respect throughout the state." "The committee came up with a name of one man who fits the bill." "Must be Blake Carrington." "What are you doing here, Dexter?" "I heard that you were meeting with Eric." "I wanted to make sure that all our interests were represented." "I wasn't aware that you were involved in Colorado politics." "Your research slipped up. I am." "Dex established residence in Colorado three years ago." "He's a great behind-the-scenes man." "Behind the scenes, huh?" "Yes." "I have a vested interest in this state, in this county." "I don't think one needs to be obvious to be paid attention to." "Blake, Mr. Dexter doesn't agree with the committee's choice of you as party chairman." "Oh, is that so?" "Let me put it this way." "Whoever heads up this party needs to put the party's interest ahead of his own." "I've never known you to take a back seat to anything or anyone." "Dex, Blake may not have been the committee's unanimous choice, but he is the best man there is for the job." "And I, for one, would be vey grateful if you accepted the nomination." "Right now, my concentration is on my daughter." "And as far as the party is concerned" "Take it, Blake." "You can't go anywhere in this state without bumping into your influence." "Believe me, I know." "So make it a clean sweep." "You tell the committee that I thank them for their confidence in me." "And if they want Blake Carrington, they've got him." "You wanna get some coffee?" "Oh, yeah." "Jeff, you want anything?" "I won't be long." "And if it should happen here, we don't have to tell the baby." "What baby?" "is there any other kind?" "A "baby" baby." "Well, you'd like to have one, wouldn't you, someday?" "You serious about that?" "About us having a baby?" "How about right now?" "You're the first girl I ever loved, do you know that?" "Yes, I know that." "What are you thinking right now?" "What are you feeling?" "How this moment" "This moment, what?" "I want you lust as much as you want me, but" "No buts." "We're alone and we both want each other." "The rest of the world is a million miles away." "I love you, Fallon." "Our son loves you." "We need you so much." " Hello." " Hello, Mother Blaisdel?" "It's Claudia." "Oh, hello, Claudia." "I hope that I'm not gettíng you at a busy tíme." "No, you didn't." "Mother Blaisdel, something vey strange has been happening." "It involves Matthew." " Matthew?" " Yes." "And me and our past." "And I was wondering if-?" "What, Claudia?" "Well, if I could drive out to the house later today and talk to you about it?" "It's vey important." "Please." " Claudia, come in." " Thanks." " Chilly day." " Yes, it is." "Days like this, I'm glad I have a fireplace." "I have some hot coffee, just made and ready." " Join me in a cup?" " Thanks, I will." "I baked these molasses cookies after you phoned." "They were Lindsay's favourite whenever she came to visit her grandma, remember?" "Yes, I do." "And I remember how you adored her." "I appreciate that." "Just as I appreciate your agreeing to see me today." "Why shouldn't I see you?" "We share a great loss with Matthew and Lindsay gone." "I need you to think back and see if there's anyone that you ever talked to who knew Matthew and Lindsay and me." "Someone who knew us well enough to know that I called him Lancelot and who hated me enough, for whatever reason, to do this to me." "I wish I could help you, but I can't think of anyone who's said anything even remotely unkind about you." "Quite the opposite, in fact." "People always talked about what a loving mother and wife you were." "I'm sory, nobody comes to mind." " Are you sure?" " Vey sure." "Just as I'm vey happy right now that the bad blood between us is finally over with." "Both of us have been hurt enough in our lives." "Haven't we?" "This is all his fault, eveything." "Alexis, what are you talking about?" "Our daughter is in a coma." "Now, this could never have happened if Blake had only listened to me about that Peter De Vilbis." "Now, I ínsíst, Krystle, that you have hím call me the ínstant that he comes ín so that I" "How dare you hang up on me?" "That's caviar, Mark, not peanut butter." "You can scream at people all you want, but the truth is, Alexis, if you hadn't come between Fallon and me, none of this would have happened." "Coming between Fallon and you was the best thing that I ever did." "Now, would you please take your criticism and your caviar sandwich and go to your room?" "Adam." "I got your message." "You wanted to see me, Mother?" "It couldn't have waited?" "Apparently not." "Apparently, you're a young man who, when he makes up his mind to do something, does so without thought or hesitation." "Now, what are you talking about?" "I hear you're still planning on marying that girl." "Kirby." "That's right, I am." "Oh, for God's sake, you're not in the backnroods of Montana now." "You've got a brain, use it." "What does my marying Kirby have to do with you?" "Because part of your life is mine." "Now, I didn't spend over 20 years cying over you, dreaming about you just to have to throw it all away." "I love her." "And I'm going to mary her whether you object or not." "Why?" "What is to love?" "I can understand if you thought she was still carying your child." "She was carying my child." "Or if you felt sory for her because she was sick in the hospital." " But to mary her?" " l love her." "Mother, when I hold Kirby, all the years of feeling lonely, searching, they all melt away." "And I won't let you or anyone take her away from me." "You are a Carrington." "You are heir to a fortune." "And neither fact gives you the right to live my life for me." "Morgan Hess?" "It's Alexis Colby." "I still think you're a slime." "But since I know you'll do anything for money, and you are rather a good private investigator, I've got another little iob I'd like you to do." "Good." "I want you to go to the Denver Chronícle and get me copies of evey stoy about a crime that was committed 23 years ago." "The subject's name, Alicia Anders." "She had a husband called Joseph and a daughter, Kirby." "The crime was murder." "Well, today has been quite a day for you, Eric, hasn't it?" "By your request," "Blake Carrington has agreed to be the new party chairman." "For which I'll always be grateful to you for suggesting it in the first place." "And for which you will always be in my debt." "There's something I want you to do for me." "Whatever you're into, Tracy." "No, Eric." "When Blake Carrington becomes head of the party, I want to be in charge of PR." "You're already in PR at Denver-Carrington." "Forget Denver-Carrington." "Oh, when that man hits the campaign trail, I wanna be right there with him." "Understand?" "They've already got a man on that job." "Get rid of him." "Well, you can do that." "Eric." "Well, let me put it to you this way." "You owe me." "And besides, both of us know how upset your wife would be if she saw you right now." "Come on." "Relax." "You're gonna love this." "Jeff, I know that you're exhausted and you have Fallon on your mind, but I've gotta talk to you." "Please." "Blame it on Alexis, destroy my marriage, and you're asking me to forgive you?" " What, are you out of your mind?" " l was." "That's what I'm tying to tell you." "What are you doing?" "Pleading insanity?" "In a way, yes." "In a way, no." "All of this was premeditated." "All right, but I was sick." "Jeff, I saw things differently then." "Look, I'm not asking you to understand or to accept, but I am asking you to forgive me, please." "Forgive you?" "I could kill you." "Oh, but don't wory, Adam, I wouldn't think of putting you out of your misey." "I'll lust make sure you're put away the rest of your life." "_e55." "I've just lost my child." "My little girl." "Isn't that punishment enough?" "No, as far as I'm concerned, that's just the beginning." "I come to you for forgiveness, and you say vengeance is yours." "But we'll see." "Press charges, and we'll both watch them thrown out of court." "You confessed to Blake yourself." "I wasn't myself." "Kirby's life and the life of my child were in danger." "See how far you get with that kind of confession under those circumstances." "You just confessed to me." "With no witnesses." "Excuse me, Steven." "Just coffee, Elizabeth." "Thank you." " Any word about Fallon, Steven?" " No." "But I have been hearing a few about you from Jeff." "Thanks, Elizabeth." "Yes, I tried to talk to him last night." "I wasn't successful." "What about Mother?" "You tried to frame her for Jeff's poisoning." "How could you do that?" "I'm not tying to excuse myself." "That's a relief. I thought you might come up with something." "Steven, I don't expect you to understand what I did to Mother, but keep this in mind." "Alexis is not quite as innocent as she would have us believe." "That's so typical of you, Adam." "Focus the blame on somebody else." "I'm not blaming anyone." "Sometime, Steven, you're gonna have to look at Alexis as an adult would, not as her baby boy." "I don't need any lessons on growing up from you, Adam." "That's right, I forgot." "You have to make your own mistakes." "You can't learn from mine." "I wonder why not." "You set such a good example." "Hey, you all right?" "Dr. Winfield ordered two laps a day." "He's going to have to settle for one." "Just take it easy." "You know, Kirby, I don't think you should rush into things." "Are you talking about my walking or my marriage to Adam?" "Well, I think you should give yourself time to heal, inside and out." "How's Fallon?" "We don't know yet." "She's still in a coma." "Eveything will work out for the best." "I know it will." "How about you?" "You call Adam the best?" " It so happens, I do." " Why?" "Let me put it this way." "I've learned something these past few weeks." "We all get what we deserve, really deserve, in this life." "And I can live with that." "Fallon." "Fallon, darling, I'm here." "Can you hear me?" "Fallon." "Blake, why don't you go home and get some rest?" "I'll call you if there's any change." "All right, Jeff." "Thank you." "There is something that I've got to do." "Blake, I know you're in a rush." "I can only give you just a couple minutes, Eric." "Fine." "Listen, we're all set to roll." "I've got a press conference lined up for you tomorrow, three guest speeches in the matter of a week, all of which means you're gonna need a PR man." "Wait a minute, I haven't had a chance to look at the schedule yet, and here you are organising a staff for me?" "That's why I need to talk to you now." "I've got the perfect PR person in mind." "Someone who can really take charge." "Oh, who's that?" "Kystle Carrington." "Kystle?" "She's head of PR for Denver-Carrington, devoted to you." "She's absolutely perfect." " Except..." " Except what?" "Except for one fact." "Kystle's your wife." "Do you think the press will look kindly on that sort of family arrangement?" "I'm sory, Blake." "I wish it could be Kystle, but it obviously can't." "Well, then we're back to square one." "Unless there's somebody else on your staff." "A man you could really trust." "Well, you've got the gender wrong, but eveything else is right." "Marcia, would you ask Tracy to step in here for a minute, please?" "Mr. Carrington, I am flattered, honoured that you want me for the job." " But I lust can't." " Of course you can." "Well, I appreciate your confidence, but I already have a lob at Denver-Carrington." "And what about Mrs. Carrington?" "Tracy, if Kystle weren't my wife, frankly, I'd be offering the job to her." "But I'm not. I'm offering it to you, and I want you to take it." "Now, you're not gonna turn me down, are you?" "Mr. Carrington, I could never say no to you." "Good, then it's settled." "So now that I've formally introduced you two, why don't you get acquainted, go over the schedule, and if you need me, I'll be at the hospital." " l'll talk to you later." " Thanks, Blake." "I told you it would work." "See you tonight?" "Oh, sure." "Why not?" "You earned it." "Dr. Staunch, call 294 please." "Claudia, you can start medication on this patient." "Dr. Walcott is there any improv'ement?" "Mrs. Colby, I told you I would be in touch with you if there was any new information." "Doctor, look, if there's anything that I can do to help you help my daughter, fly in other specialists from anywhere in the world, other equipment, will you please tell me?" "I appreciate that, Mrs. Colby, but for now, I'll settle for a prayer." "Alexis, I've said some ugly things to you." "And I apologise." "Well, you believed that I tried to kill you." "Under those circumstances, I don't blame you for what you said." "Mr. Colby, she's coming to." "Oh, thank God." "Fallon?" "Hey, Fallon, we're here now." "Come on, wake up." "Wake up." "Peter." "_e55." "I'm right here, Fallon." "So am I, darling." "No." "Go away." "Fallon." "Mother, get out of here." "So I see that you did your usual watchdog number on me, Kystle." "Did I?" "Yes, when we spoke on the phone, I asked you to have Blake call me back." "Oh, yes, you ordered me." "I remember now." "And you chose not to remember to tell him, didn't you?" "That's right." "You say that so sweetly, so innocently, so Kystle-like, "That's right."" "Alexis, why should I have had Blake call you?" "To do your usual number on him?" "Blaming him and anybody else except yourself?" "When I leave a message, especially with an ex-stenographer, I expect it to be passed on." "Dr. Staunch, call 294." "All right, Neal, you said it was important." "You've got one minute of my time." "Alexis, it will take me less than 30 seconds to make you squirm." "I wanted you to be the first to know." "You'll wanna buy a gown for the victoy ball." "The ex love of your life has just been named the state chairman of the party." "Blake, chairman of the party?" "Where did you hear that?" "You may have cost me my chair in Congress, but I still have a key to the closed doors in this town." "And now Blake has that same key." "What difference should that make to me?" "Because whatever political decisions are made in this state, evey piece of legislation, your ex-husband will be privy to." "And even before you've had a chance to hear it whispered." "Now, I'd say that spells success for Denver-Carrington." "But what does that spell for Colbyco?" "I'm sory to disappoint you, Neal, but if you came here to see me squirm, you're out of the cab fare that it took you to get here." "Or did you have to walk?" "Mark, our unemployed congressman was just leaving." "Keep the door open for him, will you?" "It was well worth the trip." "Send me tickets for the main event, will you?" "Main event?" "The party's lust bought Blake Carrington as their new chairman." "Well, we'll just have to unbuy him." "I'll see to that." "I want you to watch Alexis like a hawk." "I wanna know exactly what she does and how she does it." "She's a smart lady, McVane." "She covers her tracks." "But she's a greedy woman." "And the thought that Carrington has the inside track on contracts, handshakes, deals, why, she won't be happy until she gets him out of that position." "I know there's no love lost between you and Carrington, so why the concern?" "Money, my friend." "Blackmail." " Alexis?" " Precisely." "She hates Carrington and she'll do anything to destroy him." "Well, I wanna know how and when." "Then she will pay me for my silence." "Do you remember anything at all?" "I was running down a corridor and..." "Well, it's all right." "Don't rush it." "It's a slight fracture." "It'll take a while." "Meantime, let's see how the rest of you is doing." "Good." "All right, I'd like for you to close your eyes and extend your arms forward, please, in front of you." "Fine." "Fine." "Okay." " Feel that?" " No." "That?" "No." "Okay." "How about that?" "No, nothing." " That?" " No." "I want you to bend your legs for me now, okay?" "Come on, do it now." "I'm trying." "It won't move." "Come on, Fallon, try, try." "Oh, my God, Jeff." "I can't move my legs."
