"Where is she?" "Where is Raggedy Ann?" "Where's my dolly?" "I can't find my dolly anywhere." "Is this the doll you were looking for?" "Is this your Raggedy Ann?" "She's my favourite and she's very happy." "Oh." "Is that a secret?" "Or you want to tell me why?" "She likes it when you play with us." "Oh." "And I like being with both of you too." "Don't go, Sarah." "One day soon I'll have to go." "But you've got your mommy and daddy, who love you very, very much." " Don't you love me?" " Oh, of course I do." "We'll always be friends." "From time to time, we'll visit each other." "I'll come to Colorado and you can go to Wyoming." "With Raggedy Ann, of course." "It will be fun." "It will be lots of fun." "Mm." " Oh, I can't wait." "Yes, my darling." "Now, what game do you want to play with Raggedy Ann?" "You see, darling?" "Sarah realises she can't stay with us forever." "Yes." "It's reassuring to hear her talk like that." " She just needed a little time." " Yes." "It looks that way." "I'm glad I was wrong." " Good morning." " Morning." "How long have you been awake?" "Most of the night." "Is something wrong?" "Yeah." "We are wrong." " What are you talking about?" " I'm talking about us." "About me." "Last night." "But, Steven, we made love last night." " I wasn't pretending." "Were you?" " It's not a matter of pretending." "Then what is it?" "Oh, Sammy Jo, you think because we make love that everything's fine." "You think I've changed, but I haven't." " I can't." " I'm not asking you to change." "No, but that's what you're hoping for." "And it's wrong." "It's wrong for me." "It's wrong for you." "It's not wrong for me." "I love you and I love being with you and holding you." "People change, Steven." "Part of me is never going to change, Sammy Jo." "Don't you understand that?" "I can't be the kind of man you want me to be and I can't lie to myself about it." "Then what do you want?" "I don't know." "But it can't be this." "What are we going to do?" "I wish I knew." "I'm sorry." "Thank you, thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen." "You've been most kind and most interesting." "I hope I said good things." "Thank you." "Why don't you give me your profile?" "It's your best side." " Thank you." "One second, Alexis." "We're almost through." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "Come, sit down." "You see what happens when you become the new cover story on World Finance Magazine?" " Mm-hm." " No, thank you." " How did you find out?" " Hmm, my sources." "Tell me something, Alexis." "Is there anything you don't know?" "No." "If there is, it's not worth knowing anyway." "You're as sure of yourself as you are beautiful." "Come now, Dirk." "You didn't invite me here just to flatter me." "Well, then you must know why I called you." "Well, of course." "Trouville lndustries." " Right again." " Oh, I know how you operate." "That company has been mismanaged and has been operating in the red." " And you want to take it over." " No, Alexis." "I'm going to take it over." "And you're going to join me, be my partner." "No, no, no thank you very much." "Taking over companies is not my style." "You don't seem to understand." "We have an obligation to the stockholders to cut away all the deadwood, the fat." "The perks." ""No more taking the company jet for vacations." "Take the bus, boys, not the limo." Like that." "Exactly like that." "You know, I don't really think you care about those stockholders at all." "Then what do you think I'm after?" "Power." "Like everyone else." "Well, as the man once said, "Power and sex." " What else is there?"" " There's love." "And power and sex can never replace that." "Alexis." "Hello, Dex." "I'd ask you to join us, Mr. Dexter, but I'm sure our conversation would be over your head." "Whatever you have to say, like Alexis, I've heard it all before." "Excuse me." "Mr. Sheffield called down?" "Thank you." "So that's the love that can't be replaced." " What the hell are you doing here?" " I need to talk to you." "About what?" "That private eye you had following me last night?" " What?" " McVane, call off your detective." "Detective?" "Ha, ha." "I don't have to have you followed." "I can always find you." "At the nearest bar." "Then who is it?" "I wouldn't know." "The next time you see him, why don't you ask him?" "But right now I want to discuss Maurier." "He wants something from your mother and I want to know what that is." "Remember, that's our agreement." "Agreements have been known to be, what's the word," " rescinded?" " Yes." "But the problem is, in this case, the word will get out that Adam Carrington is not Adam Carrington." "Just remember that, Mr. Torrance." "You really are a pig, McVane." "And you're a pathetic fraud." "Now, I want that information." "Is that understood?" "I asked you a question." "Is that understood?" "Yes." "That's understood." "Good." "That's good." "And I want it quickly." "How come you're here?" "I'm here to pick up some papers from Mrs. Gorham." "Ah." "The Gorham deal." "You could call it that." "You could also say that this is the morning shift, and you're on duty." " Do I know what that means?" " Oh, I think so." "Someone was following me last night and now here you are." "That's more than a coincidence, Dana." "Adam, please." "What is going on?" "Are you ever going to level with me?" "Are you ever going to leave me alone?" "To be seen with a man like Neal McVane, a convicted felon, a disgraced congressman?" "Clearly something is going on." "I am not following you, no." "But maybe somebody should." "Which hand is it in?" "This one." "Ahem." "No, it must be that one." "That's me and Valez." "Mommy took it." "That's really nice." " Listen, Danny." " Yes?" "When we moved here, I thought that it would be best for all of us." "It is, Daddy." "It's great." "No, it's not." "Your mommy and I tried to live together once and it didn't work." "But you and Mommy love each other." "Yes, we do." "But it's not that simple." "I have to" "I have to leave." "You can't leave, Daddy." "I can't explain this to you now, but you just have to know that I love you and your mommy loves you." "Did I do something wrong?" "I promise I'll never do it again." "No, Danny, you didn't do anything wrong." "Come here." "You didn't do anything wrong." "It's not you." "It's Mommy and me." " I love you." " No, you don't." "You hate me." "Come here, Danny." "Come on, sweetheart." "Come here." "Oh." "Do we have to do this, Steven?" "To each other?" "And to Danny?" "Oh." "Thanks." "He was really crying." "He's been so happy these past few weeks, and then to see the tears, to know it was my fault." "Well, you said what you felt you had to say." "I should have thought it through." "I shouldn't have gone back with Sammy Jo." " I only made things worse." " No." "No, you wanted to be a family again." "You've always needed that, Steven." "Been a strong part of you." "I must confess to you that I wanted you all to be a family again every bit as much as you did." "I'm worried about Danny." "Oh, he'll understand one day, I know he will." "You two love each other as we do." "I want you to know, son, no matter what happens," "I'll always love you." "Don't tell the others." "What?" "That Raggedy Ann's your favourite?" "Yes." "Why?" "I don't want them to be sad." " You know something?" " What?" "You have such a wonderful little heart." "I like my heart." "I do too." "I always did." " I'm a little late." "I'm sorry." " That's all right, Adam." "I know what traffic is this time of day." "Would you like something to begin with?" "No, thank you." "Tell you what, why don't you give us a couple of minutes and then we'll order, Jack." "All right, now." "What is this?" "What is this about your mother?" "Well, she's about to have some business dealings with Dirk Maurier." "Father, you know the man's a corporate crook." " And he's manipulating her." " Well, she can handle him." "She's a smart woman." "Your mother can play hardball with the big boys anytime." "Right now she's very much alone and she's vulnerable." "Somebody's got to stop her." "And she'll listen to you." "All right." "These business dealings with Maurier, what are they?" "What are the specifics?" "Look, I can't help her if I don't know what's going on." " I realise that." " Aren't you going to tell me?" " I can't." "I'm sorry." " You can't, or you won't?" " Which is it?" " Oh, forget I ever brought it up." "I'm sure you're right." "She can handle herself." "What is it, Adam?" "There's more to this than just being worried about your mother, isn't there?" " lsn't there?" " No." "Well, damn it." "Are you going to be honest with me?" "Then I'll be honest with you." "I've been so concerned about you, I hired a private detective." "What?" "That man who's been following me." "You hired him?" "With good reason." "The way you've been behaving," "I've been concerned about you." "We all have been concerned about you." "What else about me have you been investigating?" "Adam." "Is this what the Carringtons are all about?" "Father, I thought we were a family." "A family who trusted each other." "Oh, my God, was I wrong." "Come in." " Mrs. Colby." " Yes, Jay?" "Mr. Dexter is here." "Tell him in future that he has to call for an appointment." " Yes, Mrs. Colby." " Jay." "Tell him he can come in." "Alexis, I, uh" " I haven't wanted to get involved, but I have to." "Don't tell me." "Let me guess." "You want to warn me about something." "Not something." "Someone." "Oh, another Dex Dexter mission of mercy?" "Call it anything, but somebody's got to get you to listen." " Listen to what?" " It's about Maurier." " Ugh." " Alexis, spare me the raised eyebrows." "I've dealt with the man." "I've got the scars to prove it." "Oh?" "He suckered me into a deal once and I lost." "I was lucky I was able to climb back up." "But there were 50 silent partners, each with an investment of $100,000." "And they lost every cent of it." "Well, that's what happens when you invest." " You risk, and sometimes you lose." " But we all invested in nothing." "Maurier's deal wasn't worth the paper is was written on." "Do you have any proof of that?" "No, he was too clever for that." " But that doesn't" " Don't bother to go on." "All right?" "You consistently warn me about everyone I've ever done business with:" "Michael Culhane, Ben Carrington, even Blake." "But I have always beaten them at their own game." " Alexis, listen" " No, no." "You listen to me." "Because the only person you didn't warn me about was you, Dex Dexter." "And you're the one who really deceived me." "This is the door." "Use it." "You know something, Alexis?" "I should be one happy guy, because I know Maurier's gonna sock it to you." "I should be, but I'm not." "I like my hair like this." "It reminds me when I use to" "I like it too." "You know, Kristina, my daughter, Jackie, use to love to wear her hair just like that." "Is Jackie coming back?" "Ever?" "I hope so, darling." "As soon as she's all better." " I miss Jackie." " Do you?" "Well, I will tell her that the next time I see her." "Has anybody seen Kristina?" " I'm right here, Mommy." "Of course." "I didn't recognise you." "I hope you don't mind, Krystle." "No." "Of course not." "She looks wonderful." "Did you thank Sarah?" " Thank you." "I like it a lot." " Thank you, sweetheart." "Now, we can save a lot of time and money by tunnelling through here." " Are you paying attention?" " Total." "Ha, ha." "You didn't hear a word I said." "Ha, ha." "I'm sorry." "I was just thinking how much my mother would have liked you." "I'm sorry the two of you never met." "So am I." "I'm sure she was very special." "Oh, she was." "I could talk to her about anything." "You know, the two of us use to set aside a special time every day where we would just talk about whatever came to mind." "She had a great laugh." "God, I miss her." "It's strange, isn't it?" "How much we have in common." "Losing our mothers, and both of us missing them so much." " What was your mother's name?" " Ha, ha." " Melissa." " Melissa." "Do you look like her?" "Quite a bit." "At least that's what everyone says." "Do you dream about her?" "Yes, I do." "Yeah, I dream about mine too." "First, I'm a kid and I'm on a baseball field with my father and I drop the ball and he starts screaming at me." "But my mom saves the day with a mitt big enough to catch a football in." "Ha, ha." "And then..." "And then what?" "Then I see her walking along this dark road, and this car is coming around a corner, and I scream, "Mom, watch out." "Watch out."" "But she doesn't hear me." "Damn." " It shouldn't have been..." " Shouldn't have been what, Clay?" "It shouldn't have been my mother that died in that accident." " It should have been my father." " Oh, Clay." "I don't know why she stayed married to him." " Maybe she loved him." " Love Buck Fallmont?" "Come on, you've met him." "Look at me." "I don't care about Buck Fallmont." "But I am beginning to care a great deal about his son." "I'm surprised you called me, Alexis." "This morning you told me you had no interest in the Trouville proposal." "Well, this morning I didn't." "Now I do." "Hmm." "So, what changed your mind?" "Not what." "Who." "I changed my mind." " All right, Dirk." "Count me in." " Done." "I want copies of profits and income on my desk by tomorrow morning." "Not on your desk, Alexis." "In your hands." "This is all confidential." "Ha, ha." "You mean, for my eyes only?" "When we talk, it's in person, not over the phone." "And you don't make copies of anything." "I'm not your student, Dirk." "I'm your partner." "And I don't need lessons in security from you." " I wasn't suggesting you did." " Good." "Just understand one thing, I don't take orders from anyone." "Trouville lndustries is part of us now." " Agreed?" " How could I disagree with you?" "See that you don't." "Sarah?" "Sarah?" "The dress she made for Kristina is a duplicate of her daughter's." "She not only dressed Kristina to look like Cathy, now the same hair style." "Krystle, what is going on?" "I'm not sure" " but I think I'd better talk to her." " But what can you say?" "Suppose she doesn't even realise what she's doing?" "I don't know what I'm going to say." "Blake could be right." "Sarah being around Kristina, maybe it has caused more harm than good." "How do you say that to someone who saved your daughter's life?" "What do you mean?" "I'm all right." "Of course I'm all right." "Well, I'm glad to hear that." "I wonder what Adam was talking about?" " Did he send you here?" " Mm-hm." "I tell you, I think something is bothering the boy." "That's really why I'm here." " Something is very, very wrong." " I know." "But he's always been moody and unpredictable." "Well, I'm afraid it's more than that." "Which is why I hired someone to watch him." "Hired someone?" "Mm-hm." "A private detective." "Just to keep an eye on him." "My God." "Blake." "What do you think is happening with him?" "I wish I knew." "But a private detective?" "What if he finds out?" "He knows now." "And he's furious." "But he is our son." "And right now he needs our help." "Something tells me he needs it desperately." "Sarah, I was wondering if I could talk to you." "Oh, Krystle." "I didn't even hear you come in." "I didn't want to disturb you, but your door was open." "Oh, I was just, um..." "I was just thinking how peaceful it is here." "You know." "Green." "Different from the ranch that can be so barren." "Sarah, I want to talk to you about you and Kristina." "Oh?" "This is hard for me to say." "You think it's time for me to leave." "Don't feel uncomfortable, Krystle." "I'm glad you're here." "I've something to say to you too." "I think it's time for me to leave." "To get on with my life, and let you get on with yours." "Thank you for everything, being a friend." "I'll be leaving tomorrow." "And if you ever need anything, you just have to let us know." "I'll be fine." "Don't worry." "I'll be just fine." "Clay, what are you doing?" "I gave this horse" "I know." "You gave it to my mom as a gift." "And I never expected or wanted you to bring her back." "Sammy Jo, look at her." "Why, she looks depressed." "What happened?" "She's off her feed, she's pacing the stall." "When Mom died," "Dad stopped paying attention to the things she loved." "That's awful." "Thanks for bringing her back." "Beth, can you take her to a stall, please?" "Go on." "How you doing, Sammy Jo?" " Me?" "I'm fine." " Yeah." "There's so much work to be done around here." "And you know me, if I don't keep busy, I get all jittery." "Ha, ha." "Yeah, I do know you." "It's Steven again, isn't it?" "It's that obvious?" "Well, there's a lot between Steven and me." "Not only our love for Danny, but I thought we could work things out for us." "Well, I'm sorry it didn't work out." " Thanks for not saying, "l told you so."" " The old me would have." "Something tells me that the new you is finally over me and in love with someone else." " You can tell?" " Ha, ha." "Well, let's put it this way." "It's as if you had the word "Leslie" tattooed across your forehead." "But I like her." "I hope everything works out for both of you." "Thank you, Sammy Jo." "I hope someday you find whatever it is you're looking for." "Liz, did my father sign those Drexler papers before he got away?" " I have them right here." " Great." "Would you run them down to Legal for me?" " Of course." " Thanks." "Hi." " Hi, Steven." " Hello, Mother." "I came to see Blake, but it's always nice to see you." "Dad's not here." "Is there anything I can help you with?" " No, no, it can wait." " Okay." " Well, I've got work to do." "Excuse me." " Steven?" " Is everything all right?" " Yeah, I'm fine." "I don't believe you." "I know you better than that." "Mother, everything's fine." "It's that girl, isn't it?" "That girl has a name." "Sammy Jo." "Look, let's just drop it." "Steven, why didn't you talk to me before you went back to her." "I don't need your permission." "But at least you could have asked for my advice." " She's bad news, Steven." " Mother, she's not bad news." "She's a wonderful girl." "And in my own way I love her." " And I know she loves me." " No." "She doesn't." "She's made you unhappy before, darling, and she can make you unhappy again." "No." "You're wrong." "Whatever unhappiness I'm feeling is my own doing." "Believe that." "I'm sure Dad will be back in a few minutes." "I've got a meeting in my office." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." " May I?" " Absolutely." "Mm-hm." "Mm." "Mm." "So this is slow-dancing." "Mm-hm." "I think that's what they call it." "You know, when I was a kid, I used to think this was for grown-ups." "Aren't you glad you finally grew up?" "If I'd known it was going to be like this, I would have grown up at 12." "Look at my forehead." "You see anything?" "I see a beautiful forehead." "That's strange." "Because Sammy Jo said she saw your name tattooed across it." " Oh?" " Yeah." " When did you see Sammy Jo?" " Today." "And I'm glad that I did." "Made me realise that whatever the two of us once had together is over." "Really?" " You're no longer in love?" " Oh, I'm in love, all right." "With" "What did you say your name was again?" "Ha, ha." "I thought you said it was tattooed on your forehead." "You want a mirror?" "You know, I didn't really plan on getting involved again, did you?" "No." "I think both of us were just taken by surprise and I like surprises." " Surprise." " Mm." "Steven." "What are you doing?" "Thinking." " Want some company?" " No." "Thanks." "It's late." "Why don't you come to bed?" "Look, I..." "I really just need a little bit of time to myself." " I was just trying to help." " I'm not an invalid." " I didn't say you were." " But you act like it." "You're so careful not to say the wrong thing, or make the wrong move." "Well, with you, every move I make is the wrong move." "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." "Then what did you mean?" "Look, we're both tired." "Why don't we just talk about it in the morning." "Nothing's going to change in the morning, Sammy Jo." "You've got to face it." "You've got to accept it." "I cannot be something I'm not." "I cannot change who I am." "Steven." "Steven." "The apartment is immaculate." "You can see that everything is in excellent condition." " Yes, I can." " The bedroom." "And there's everything here that you could possible want, including privacy." "You might see a neighbour, maybe twice a year." "Well, it's just perfect for my needs." "And the fact that I can move right in is" "Oh, I can't tell you how relieved I am." "You know, my husband has been calling me every day, wanting to know how soon I can join him." " He's in Mexico, you know." " Yes, you told me." "Oh, yes." "Well, my plane is leaving in three hours, and I was so afraid that I wouldn't be able to sublet in time." "I'm sure you'll be very happy here." "Would it be okay if I left a small suitcase?" "Oh, yes, of course." "Of course." "Uh, will there be just yourself here?" "Oh, no." "Didn't I tell you?" "My daughter will be living with me." "Oh, that's very nice." "Hyah!" "Hyah!" "Hyah!" "Hyah!" "Valez?" "Valez." " Good morning, Blake." " Good morning, Sarah." "Gerard tells me you were out very early this morning." "Yes." "I went downtown to pick up my plane ticket back to Wyoming." "Plane ticket?" "I was planning on flying you back up there in our jet." "Oh, no, Blake." "That's very sweet of you, but you and Krystle have done enough for me already." " We couldn't begin to thank you for" " Besides" "I need to do things on my own now." "It's important." "Of course." "I understand." "What time is your flight?" "I'd like to be back here in time to drive you out to the airport." "Please." "I hate long goodbyes." "Can we just say them here, do you mind?" "All right." "If that's what you want." "Well, gotta go." "Sarah, if you ever need any help, please contact us, will you?" "Krystle and I will never forget you, for your kindness, and for how brave you were." "Thank you." " Bye." " Goodbye." "Valez." "Valez." "Valez." "Danny, I think you better wait back here." " No, Daddy." "I want to see Valez." " No, son." "Why did you bring him here?" "He shouldn't see Valez like this." "I couldn't stop him." "We were in the stables when we heard." "Daddy, what happened?" "He tripped, Danny." "He tripped." "Whatever happened, Mr. Carrington, it wasn't your fault." "I was riding him hard, though." "Too hard." "Hard riding won't hurt an animal." "Especially a fine healthy specimen like Valez." "They need to be ridden hard." " If I hadn't been galloping" " It happens." "Accidents happen." "That's all this was, an accident." "Is he going to be all right?" "Well, I'm afraid his leg's broken." "What does that mean?" "Well, we won't have to put him down." "We can set the break." "But he'll have to be put out to pasture." "He just can't be ridden again." "I'll never get to ride him." " I'm sorry, Danny." " It's okay, Daddy." "It's not your fault." " No one blames you, Steven." " Except me." "He couldn't wait until he was big enough to ride him." "It was his dream." " Steven." " Sammy Jo," "I want you to take him back home." "I'll join you as soon as I'm done with the vet." "We'll talk then." "Come, Danny." "Here." "Come on." "Okay, breakfast time." "Oh, I missed you." "You said you'd only be gone a minute." "Yeah, I'm sorry." "They were three-minute eggs." " Good morning." " Good morning." "Okay." "Let's see now." "We got hash browns, eggs, bacon, wheat toast, lightly buttered, and of course the Fallmont family recipe for orange marmalade." "Oh, I can't believe it." "Good looking, bright, a lover in the great tradition, and now this." "What more could a girl ask?" "Oh, I'm sure you'll think of something." "Ha, ha." "What do you mean, "A lover in the great tradition?"" " Gable." " Oh, you knew him, did you?" "Gone With The Wind." "It Happened One Night." "Oh, he was the perfect lover." " Oh." "Do you feel as good as I do?" " I don't know." "How good do you feel?" "Being with you is one of the best things that's happened to me in a long time." "I think that it's time that the Fallmonts and the Carringtons declare a truce." "Well, maybe we have, but my father never will." "Well, don't be so sure." "I'm a pretty likeable character, you know." "Maybe even old Buck Fallmont will grow to like me." "Mm." "Even if he doesn't, I don't care." " Oh, yes, you do." " No, I don't." "In spite of everything we say, we both care a great deal of what our fathers think." "Well, what do you think old Ben Carrington would do if he saw me do this?" "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn." " I'm gonna miss you so much." " I'm gonna miss you too." "Now, what colour do you want this time?" " Blue." " Blue?" "Okay." "Paint the water then." "Oh, Kristina, that's good." "That's very, very good." "There you are." "Come here." "Mommy said you were going away." "Yes, I have to, honey." "When will you be back?" "Sarah will be back soon, sweetheart." "But right now she has to go home." "I have so many things to do." "I have a big ranch with horses and cows to take care of." "You know." "Look at this colouring book." "Did you colour all of these things by yourself?" "Excuse me, Mrs. Carrington." "Long distance for you." "Could you get a number, Jeannette?" "I'll call them back." " They said it was important." " Okay." " Sarah, I'll be back in a minute." " Okay." " That's my medicine." " Yes." "It's cold out today." "I want you to put this on." "Here, put your coat on." " Are we going out?" " Yes." "It's time for your walk." "You like the walks we take, don't you?" "Yes." "Yes." " Can I bring Raggedy Ann?" " Of course you can." "Is Mommy coming?" "Yes, just as soon as she gets off the phone." " How's Valez?" " The vet said he'll be fine." " His leg's been set." "Where's Danny?" " In his room." " Is he okay?" " He's still crying." "I want to see him." " I don't even know what to say to him." " You don't have to say anything." " He loves you." " And all I do is hurt him in return." " That's not true." " He needs you, Sammy Jo." "And he needs the kind of father that I can't seem to be to him." "You're a good father." "You're the kindest, gentlest man I've ever known." "I can't live like this." "I've gotta leave." " Leave?" "Where will you go?" " I don't know." "What about Danny?" "You're his mother, Sammy Jo." "He loves you." "You're wonderful with him." "I can't think of anybody else" "I'd rather trust with his life." "Well, what will you do?" "I don't know." "But I can't go on hurting the people I love." "I gotta go." "Are you sure she's not upstairs?" "I checked her room again, Mrs. Carrington, and she's not there." "I thought maybe she might be with Mrs. Curtis, but she's gone." " Have you looked in the library?" " Yes, but I'll do so again." "Mrs. Carrington, I looked outside to see if Kristina was saying goodbye to Mrs. Curtis, but I didn't see either of them." "Would you call security, Gerard?" "Mrs. Carrington, I've checked all of the downstairs rooms." "There's no sign of Kristina." "Well, she couldn't have just disappeared." "Krystle, what is it?" "What's going on?" "Blake, we can't find Kristina." " What?" " We can't find her." "She's gone." "I just checked with security." "Mrs. Curtis was seen driving away in one of the cars with Kristina." "Sarah took Kristina?" "Oh, my God, Blake." "She's taken our daughter."
