" Good morning, Fallon." " Good morning." "Gerard, lust coffee for Mrs. Carrington and me right now." "Yes, Mr. Carrington." "I haven't seen you in days." "You know what might be- What's the word for it?" " nice one morning?" " What's that?" " You actually waited for us." "And we could all have breakfast together." "Well, now that I'm walking again, I have a few things to catch up on at La Mirage." "You're a working woman now, Kystle, you tell him how it is." "That's how it is, Blake." " So you're off to Hong Kong today?" " Yes, that's right." "To make another deal of the centuy?" "Gee, that's got a nice ring to it." " What makes you call it that?" " Don't you remember?" "When I was a little girl, you used to say," ""Evey morning is a new time of hope and evey business day can produce the deal of the centuy."" "He had this way of combining" "Main Street and Wall Street philosophies." " Go on, get out of here." " l'll miss you, goodbye." " Bye." " Bye." "She's wonderful, happy." "Yes, she is." " And so is my wife." " Well, I should be." "You've asked me to come on this trip with you, this tremendous adventure." "And then you're going to let me announce the deal in Hong Kong once it's finalised." "Well, I don't see anything so special about that." "Isn't that what you public-relations people get paid to do?" "Now, how would you like one of these corn fritters smack in the face, Mr. Carrington?" "I would much prefer another good-morning kiss, Mrs. Carrington." "Steven, darlíng, I've gone to Peru." "I've got to fínd out for myself, on the spot, íf Matthew ís dead." "Please, understand." "Claudía." "This deal is a tricm situation, Tracy." "There are conflicting territorial claims in the China Sea area." "The press may ty to make a political issue out of it." "And of course, our response is that Denver-Carrington is not political." "We're going in to that part of the Far East to find oil, a potential source of energy this county needs badly." "Right." "If you have any other notes for me, please" "As a matter of fact, I was gonna give you these." "Kystle?" "Honey, what is it?" "Is something wrong?" "No, I'm all right." "I just have a headache." "I think it's called something technical like, "The lady's vey excited."" " l'm all right." " Well, you can rest on the plane." "We've got a long flight ahead of us." "Well, I hope it won't be too much for you, I mean, pregnant..." "What?" "I'm sory, Kystle." "I found out you had an appointment with an obstetrician, I just assumed that you" "Excuse me for a minute." "I didn't tell you because I'm not sure yet." "Oh, I wanted the baby so badly and I know how you felt." "Darling, you know how much I want your child." "But even more, I want you." "And I want you alive and well." "And I don't want you to go through anything that might cause you disappointment." "Or danger." "Blake, Dr. Nolton wasn't completely against it." "He said that if I were careful and didn't do things to excess, that I had a chance." "That I really had a chance this time." "So I won't go climbing Pikes Peak, all right?" "You're not angy with me, are you?" "Angy?" "How can a man be angy at a wife who wants to give him the most precious gift in the world, a child?" "Their own child." "Of course I'm not disagreeing with you that Claudia shouldn't be left on her own in Peru." "What I am disagreeing with is who should be with the poor, troubled girl who's obviously at the end of her rope." "Now, surely you must have been thinking about that." "Maybe when I first got the note, but no, I am not thinking it right now." "My wife has been driven to desperation with fear." "God knows who's tormenting her." "I hope that you're not still harbouring the dreadful suspicion that I'm the one who's been tormenting her." "No, I'm not." "Good." "Well, I think you should be aware of a few facts." "I met with Claudia on several occasions and I pleaded with her to take the proper and logical steps and go to the police to get to the bottom of this." "But instead, she refused." "She did the totally illogical thing of rushing off in the middle of the night on a wild iourney without telling her husband." "And you are being totally illogical too in thinking you're the one who can give her the help that she needs." "Then who is going to help her, Mother?" "You again?" "Your tone is uncivil, but I'll answer your question." "I think that you and I should both drive up to the sanatorium where she was locked" "Where she was a patient." "We should visit with the doctor who treated her, and should pay him anything that he wants so that he can fly to Peru and give her the treatment that she so obviously needs." "Let's face it, Steven, you are not a doctor." "Does that make sense or doesn't it?" "Wait a minute, wait a minute." "Jeff Colby, if that's another present for me..." "What present?" "You mean this present here?" "Well, as matter of fact, it is." "You wanna open it?" "Come on." "Perfume." "What is this?" "Your eveyday gallon size?" "Well, not quite, but almost." "Jeff, this has got to stop." " The bracelets and flowers" " No." "For a beautiful woman who saved our baby's life?" "As far as I'm concerned, that's just the beginning." "How about that?" "Yeah, I was gonna go to La Mirage and see you there, but they told me you'd come home to see Little Blake." "Because I have a proposal to make." " A what?" " A proposal." "A vey important one, so I want you to prepare yourself for it." "Jeff, we both know we've been getting along better." "We certainly have." "Well, let's not get carried away with things." "Fallon, there are risks in life, but you only live once, right?" "Besides, the snow hasn't been better in years." "The snow?" "Just what kind of a proposal is this?" "That we fly to Aspen tomorrow and go skiing." "My, my, how you've changed." "Tell me about it." "Well, you used to be the epitome of a three-piece suit kind of guy." "Compulsive worker, kind of a stiff, actually." "Now you wanna ditch eveything and fly off like some sort of a playboy." "Hey, you know, it's funny how you can say that word and still smile." "Playboy." " He was a real winner, wasn't he?" " Yeah, he sure was." "Well, life goes on, doesn't it?" "Yeah, let's dump eveything and go skiing." "And then?" "We'll talk about that later." "If the doctor tells us that I'm not pregnant, it won't be the end of the world, our world." "I know that." "But I won't say that I don't hope that he'll say yes." "Hope with all my heart." "Excuse me, Mrs. Carrington, there's a Dr. Nolton calling for you." "Thank you." "Hello?" "Yes, doctor." "I see." "Thank you." "It's a yes." " Do you have a reservation?" " Yes, I'm Mrs. Steven Carrington." "Oh, yes, of course, of course." "We have a lovely room for you." "Mrs. Steven Carrington." "From Denver, right?" " Yes." " Hi, I'm Pat Dunne." "Albuquerque born and bred, but I went to School of Mines in Colorado." "Same class as Matthew Blaisdel." "If I'm not wrong, you were married to him at one time?" "Yes, I was." " Do you work here in Peru?" " On and off, I'm a geologist." "I was working down here at the time of Matthew's..." "The accident. I guess that's why you've come to this place." "To find out more about it?" "Yes, I did." "He was with my daughter." "Did you know her?" "Not vey well, but yes." "Pretty girl." "Look, if I can be of any help to you... I don't know." "Why don't we talk about that later?" "Maybe at dinner?" "Right now I've gotta go, meeting." "Mucho big types." "And you look like you could use a nap after your flight." " So dinner, 7?" " Yes, fine." " Great." " Okay, bye-bye." "I'm quoting Dr. Nolton now." "He's a specialist." ""The first couple of months are gonna be the trickiest, so you've got to get a lot of rest."" "Well, he said to take it easy and not to go to Hong Kong." "But he didn't say anything about going to bed." "And he certainly didn't say anything about having a private nurse at all times." "All right, all right, we'll drop the subject of the nurse." "But as for taking it easy, humour me, please." "After all, I'm an expectant father." "And as such, I would like you to accept a few tokens of my love." "A sable coat?" "Blake, it's the most luxurious thing I've ever seen." "Frederick." "I don't want you driving anymore." "Frederick is your new chauffeur." "It will be a pleasure, Mrs. Carrington." "All you have to do is choose the colour that you prefer, madam, and we will have the proper vehicle delivered to you in the morning." "Thank you, Frederick." "Blake." "This is all so incredible." "Darling, you don't have to give me gifts for eveything." "Got what I want." "I got you and we have a wonderful life together." "And I'm gonna have a baby." " What more could I possibly want?" " All right." "But take these, lust this once." "I mean, they are vey useful." "They're things that you need." "Made up my mind about something." "I'm gonna let my legal department handle that Hong Kong deal." "Or better yet, I'll have the Hong Kong people come here." "I am not going to leave you here alone." "Alone?" "Darling, I couldn't be alone in this house if I wanted to be." "You have to go, I know how important this deal is to you." "And take Tracy with you in my place." "Now, Blake, you have to indulge me." "After all, I am an expectant mother." "Dexter." "Hello, Jennings." "Saw you on the court the other day." "It was a good game." " Yeah, well, nearly as good as yours?" " Nearly, right." "Dexter, I don't like the idea of being on the outs with a guy who handles the racket as well as you do." "Maybe it's because there just aren't that many around." "Well, to be frank with you, there's a woman we both know, Alexis Colby." "What about her?" "Well, I work for her, you work for her." "How about if I buy you a drink and we toast the lady and lust forget this grudge we both got going." "She doesn't like it, I don't." "And I don't really think you do." "How about it?" "Drink?" " All right." " Good." "Darling, I'm sory i'm so late." "Well, there goes another curtain." "I just got here a martini ago after having one with an employee of yours." "Tennis bum who plays bodyguard." "I wouldn't have thought that you and Mark had a great deal in common." " Cheers." " Cheers." "I'm wondering, why is he tying to pump me about you?" "is he?" "Don't wory, I didn't say anything." "He's as subtle as a rhino." "But he is tying to sniff something out about you." "And your business operates." "Maybe he wants to invest in Colbyco." "Darling, I'm really not in the mood for talking about Mark Jennings tonight." "All right, what are you in the mood for?" "A nice, early night." "Okay, Alexis, let's hear it." "Which of your kids has turned a deaf ear to your maternal advice this time?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "I can look behind those emerald eyes of yours and see it." "Worying." "About Fallon, or Adam, or Steven." "So which of the triumvirate is it?" " Adam?" " No." "I'm used to his misreading my motives by now, whatever I say or do." "Fallon?" "No, she and Adam are cut from the same cloth." "Which leaves us Steven." "You know, I always thought it was different with my youngest son." "We had something so special." "And I thought that no other woman could ever interfere with that." "Little boys grow up and other women come into their lives." "The other woman being Claudia?" "Alexis, face it, he's happy with her." "Vey happy." "I hope so, Dex. I really hope so." "Here you go." "You know something?" "We never did this when we were married." "What's that?" "Oh, lust got away from it all like normal people." "Not a Carrington and a Colby." "Just two people taking a good look at each other." "Well, I like what I see." "You're pretty cute yourself." "Tell me, Fallon, where do you think we went wrong?" "The truth?" "I thought you were sweet but dull." "Okay, you tell me the truth." "I thought you were fascinating but shallow." "And we never took the time out to find out how we honestly felt about each other." "Oh, I do not find you dull at this moment." "That's interesting, because I don't find you shallow." "I'm sory, it's my head again." "You fractured your skull and the doctor said you were going to be having headaches." "It's my fault, wanting you to ski a few extra runs with me when I should've realised you were tired." "No, it's not your fault." "The pain will go away in a little while, I just have to rest." " You don't mind, do you?" " No, no, of course I don't mind." "Why don't you take a nap and call me when you wake up and we'll have dinner together, okay?" "I'm sory if I haven't been all that much help to you, Claudia." "It's not really your fault." "Maybe if you had been working at the same company when Matthew and Lindsay disappeared" "Maybe." "But you will follow my advice and go to the local police tomorrow." "Oh, sure. I mean, I don't really know what else to do anyway." "Thank you for the dinner, Mr. Dunne." "Hey, I thought we settled that." "It's Pat." "Well, anyway, it's still thank you and good night." "You're welcome, but the evening is young." "I could come in and call down for a nightcap." " l'd rather not." " Come on." "We're two Americans in a strange place, why don't we relax and-?" "I want to be alone, please." " Good night, Mr. Dunne." " Didn't you hear the lady?" "She said good night." "Who the hell are you?" "I'm her husband, how's that for openers?" "You're a lucm man, Carrington." "Good night." "You're here." "Oh, I need you so much." "Hey." "This is a Châteauneuf-du-Pape '76 which is vey, vey délícíeux." " Won't you loin me in a glass?" " No, thank you." "I just couldn't sleep." " A glass of wine might help." " Help me forget about my mother?" "Kirby, you promised me not to dwell on that." "And you promised to go with me to help find her." "Yes, I know." "But right now, I have to be here." "I'm" " In a few minutes, Blake lands in Hong Kong." "And in a few hours, he'll be in intense negotiation." "Kirby, you should be as interested in all this as I am because we both stand to share in the success of this mission." "You know that, don't you?" "I know that you can't do anything here, now." " And I feel that" " Are you just gonna hold that wine?" "Don't you care about what I feel?" "I'm beginning to think you have something in common with Alexis." "Neither of you give a damn about my finding my mother because of what she did." "What she did was to commit an unfortunate act." "Oh, of being unfortunately out of her mind?" " Don't be so condescending." " l resent that, vey much." "Because you're wrong." "Kirby." "How many times do I have to tell you I wanna mary you as soon as your divorce from Jeff is final?" "How many times do I have to tell you I want that child as soon as we can?" "Now, as for Mother." "I loathe her for hurting you the way she did." " Do you?" " Yes." "Anyway, it's Father's feelings that count." "And Blake loves you." "And have some wine and then get some sleep." "See, dark circles aren't all that becoming on a beautiful woman who's gonna become my beautiful wife." "Yes, you're right. I am upset." "Both Miss Kendall and I reported some of our luggage was missing." "Now, how long does it take you people to find those things?" "Will you please track them down and get them over to our hotel as quickly as you can?" "Thank you vey much." "Ahmed." "Yes, Carrington." "Rashid Ahmed." "What are you doing here?" "Perhaps if you'll allow me to enter, you will find out." "It has been said that the two great cuisines of the civilised world are Chinese and Italian." "So it is appropriate that we two gourmets" "Gourmets of power, that is. -met first in Rome and now in Hong Kong." "If I were to speculate, I would say that you were here doing business for your government." "Except from what I understand, you were exiled from your county by that same government after you pocketed the money you got from my company." "So whatever your reasons are for knocking on my door, you'll have to excuse me, I have an appointment." "Yes, to discuss a deal with another government." "Yes, I am representing that government." "You are what?" "Blame it on my innate brilliance." "Blame it on my expertise in the field of oil." "Blame it on what you will." "But these people needed someone vey special to protect their interests and I am that man." "You can turn right around and tell them that their man is unacceptable to me." "I will never deal with anyone named Ahmed." "Carrington." "You will deal with Ahmed or you won't deal at all, get it?" "Where are you going?" "Well, I thought I'd go back to my room and pack since we're leaving at dawn." "I have a vey good relationship with dawns." "I can hold them back at will." "All right." "I don't want to compromise your reputation." "I mean, I am, after all still technically a married m' an." "So you're dangerous to be with." "I love living dangerously." "Come on, keep me warm." "I think these last few days have been fun, haven't they?" "They've been more than fun." "It's given me a chance to put a lot of things into perspective." "In fact, I'm gonna act on one of them as soon as we get back to Denver." "Are you gonna let me in on it?" "Oh, I'll tell you when I ask you to drop me off." "Right now I'm cold." "How cold?" "Really cold." "Oh, and by the way, Mr. Colby's office called and said he wouldn't be in today." " He is off skiing." " Skiing?" "I haven't shushed in years." "Well..." "Hello, Adam." "I want to talk to you." "Now." "All right." "Thank you, Jason, that will be all." "Don't you ever listen?" "Mother, I warned you to stay out of my life." "I am going to mary Kirby." "And if you do anything else to hurt her, I promise you, you'll regret it." "Before you start throwing threats around, you listen to me." "Now, let's start with the basic." "You and your future." "Meaning what?" "Meaning that you better start thinking seriously about what you're going to be doing in ten years." "The sort of success you're going to have." "The sort of woman that you want to share that success with." "I've thought about it and I've made my choice." " And her name is Kirby?" " Yes." " Kirby Anders?" " That's right." "A girl with no class, no background and a lot of skeletons in her closet." "Adam, we've talked about you maybe going into politics one day." "Consider the liability, consider" "Excuse me, Mrs. Colby." "Mr. Carrington, your father's phoning you from Hong Kong." "You can take it on Line 1." "Thank you." "Yes, Father." "What are you doing at Colbyco, Adam?" "Mother and I have somethíng to díscuss, nothíng ímportant." "When you leave there, I want you to do a little research job for me." "And don't, I repeat, don't let Alexis in on any of this." "Rashíd Ahmed ís claímíng that he's the representatíve of the government of these Chína Sea leases." "I'm checking it out on this end, I want you to check all your contacts there." "See how legítímate thís gentleman ís consídered these days." "You're dealing with him there, and you want me to check it out here." "Yes, absolutely." "Goodbye, Father." "We were talking about politics and your last word was, I believe, "consider."" "Yes." "Why don't we lust leave it at that?" "I said all I have to say, to go on would be futile." "I lust want you to think vey hard, Adam, before you make the biggest mistake of your life." ""Rashid Ahmed leases."" "Mark, what exactly do you think you're doing?" "Well, I was lust about to answer your phone." "What you were lust about to do is to spill that drink all over my carpet." "Would you please take it to your room?" "Hello?" "Hello, Cyrus, how are you?" "Oh, I'm doing wonderfully." "Thank you." "But I didn't call to talk about my health." "I'm phoning about Blake Carrington." "I understand that he's there in Hong Kong making some sort of a deal with Rashid Ahmed." "I wanted you to find out what it was about." "Get back to me as soon as possible, can you do that, Cyrus?" "Good." "Bye." "As I wrote in my original report, Matthew Blaisdel and his daughter, your daughter, were driving in a jungle area in a jeep." "The vehicle went off into the ravine and it burned." "This is that ravine and that is the remains of the jeep." "No bodies were ever found, Captain Cordillo?" "That is correct, señor." "You said that you and your men conducted a search of the area." "As much as was humanly possible." "I want you to initiate another search now." "You do not seem to understand, Señora Carrington." "The iungle has a way of claiming eveything." "But how can you be sure that anybody died in that crash?" "Because there were no bodies." "I do not wish to have to tell you this, but under the circumstances, that is not unusual." "The jungle is filled with animals." "And the bodies, they were undoubtedly dragged away from this spot by those animals during the night." "It happens often here at night." "I am vey sory." "Oh, God." "It's all right, it's all right." "Oh, God." "Go ahead and cy." "Cy it out." "Well, it was generous indeed of me to give you an extra 24 hours to make up your mind, considering I have the whole world clamouring at my door." "What is she doing here?" "I thought this was to be a private meeting, a private deal." "Miss Kendall is here because I've had other private deals with you before and lived to regret them." "She's not only my public relations representative, she's also, more importantly, my witness." " Shall we get down to business?" " Yes, to business." "All cards on the table." " How else?" " All right." "To begin with, I've had you checked out." "Here and back in the States, I assumed that." "You assume well." "And how did I rank in my "report card" as your school children say?" " Pass or fail?" " You passed, this time." "At least in this deal, you are legitimate." "Good, and now that we have that established, I prefer to talk about money." "Do you have it?" "I am raising the $100 million for the oil leases, but I have to go back to Denver to handle the thing properly by myself." "I trust you have some good-faith money to provide." "I have." "Cashier's cheque for $5 million." "For which I want a 60-day option to deliver the remainder of the money." " That is too long." " Take it or leave it." "I repeat, Carrington, that is too long." "Two weeks or nothing." "Thirty days." "Twenty." "Let's forget it." "Thirty days?" "Thirty days is acceptable." "As for the rest of the deal, you have my hand on it." "I'd rather have it in writing, Ahmed, if you don't mind." " Hello, Mother." " Fallon." "I told the doorman not to announce that I was here because I was afraid that you wouldn't agree to see me if he did." "And what I have to say is too important to put off." "What's important is that I can see for myself it's true." "You're walking." "I tried to call you when I first heard about it, but you'd already left." "I'm so happy for you, Fallon." "You're way about my being here and I don't blame you." "Last time I saw you, I was in the hospital and I ordered you to leave." "I wanna apologise for that." "And for some of the things I said to you when you tried to tell me about Peter De Vilbis." "I was wrong. I" "What?" "Well, let's lust say I realised that even though parents and children don't always get along, there's a bond there." "That's important." "So I'm sory." "I hope you accept my apology." "And me." "Darling." "Accepted." "Of course." "Come, sit down." "Have some of these strawberries." "They're out of season, but they were specially flown in from Patagonia." "Wherever that is." "Have one." "Yes, Blake Carrington." "Come on in, Fallon." "I see." "Well, tell him his wife called." "Thank you." "I lust heard the news from Jeanette, you're pregnant." " It's wonderful." " Oh, I think so too." "And eveything's gonna be all right this time, I just know it." "You all right?" "Nothing, I think lust too much fresh air in Aspen." "I'm so happy for you, I just wanted to tell you I love you." "I love you too." "I'm gonna go kiss my son or he's liable to think I abandoned him." "You know, it really is a privilege to work for Blake Carrington." "Why, thank you vey much, Tracy." "I'm sory we had to work, but I'll make it up to you." "In the meantime, I'll see you in the morning, huh?" "Let's lust hope our missing luggage shows up by then." "It better, I'm running out of shirts." "Mr. Carrington, does this evening really have to end?" "I mean, unless you're too tired, there's still a few details I'd like to discuss with you." "The notes are in my room, it won't take long, okay?" " All right, fine." " Great, I'll be right back." "You can clear this stuff up, we're all finished now, thank you vey much." "Operator, what's the time difference again between here and Denver, Colorado?" "Would you ty that Denver number for me once more?" "I'll hang on." "Come in, Tracy." "Keep tying, operator, and ring me through here in the room." "Thank you." "Well, I brought the notes and this." "Well..." "That's vey pretty." "Well, I saw it when I was out shopping." "I just couldn't resist." "I was wondering would you like for me to buy another one for Kystle?" "Oh, we can discuss that in the morning." "Okay." "May I see those notes, please?" "Oh, sure." "There." "You know, it's really quite late, Tracy." "Why don't you leave these with me and I'll go over them and we can discuss them tomorrow?" "Sure." "I'm expecting a phone call from my wife." "Well, good night, Tracy." "Good night." "I'm not gonna ask you if they've been taking care of you, because from the looks of it, you've gained a good pound and a half since we left." "Oh, it's good to be home, Kystle." "It's been a long couple of days." "I'm sory about the news, Claudia." "Vey sory." "Thanks, Kystle. I know." "But in a way, it's a relief to know that finally, it's all behind me." "That whoever sent those violets and that snapshot, it wasn't" "Excuse me, Miss Claudia?" "There's a telephone call for you." "Would you like to take it in the hall?" "Oh, sure." "Thanks, Gerard." "Hi." " Hello?" " Claudía." "Matthew?" "We need you, Líndsay and I." "Matthew, is that you?" "We need you, Claudía." "We're famíly." "Matthew, where are you?" "Where's Lindsay?" "Where?" "Where is she?" "Claudia."
