"Last time on Dynasty:" "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings." "Just because I wanted to make love and you didn't." "Michael, when you decide that I'm a part of your life and not merely some royal decoration, perhaps then we can have a marriage." "And there'll be no need for apologies." "Excuse me." "The world is yours." "All you have to do is say, "Yes."" "Adam, I'll marry you." "Now, I'm talking about the Carrington-Colby Pipeline." "Now, Jason is trying to strong-arm me." "I need his tankers." "But with a man like you at his side, I'd have someone there I could trust." "Consider it done." "Jason, about that pipeline, you've got a deal." "You're serious, aren't you?" "You're really going to Moldavia." "Dead serious." "Yes, and dead is how you may end up." "Don't worry." "I've got nine lives." "There's only one man I know who could really help." "Alexis, you and our marriage are the most important things in my life." "Now, I will risk my life if I have to." "But I won't risk losing you." "Your way, and anything you want." "What's going on here?" " What are you doing?" " Calling my husband." "By the time he gets here, you had better have an explanation." "What have you done?" "Ready or not, from this second on, you are Mrs. Blake Carrington." " Change clothes with her." " I'm not ready yet." "I need more time." "You've just run out of it." " Josh, she was to have another week." " Shut the hell up." "You already know everything you need to know." " The head butler." " Gerard." "Cook who runs the kitchen?" "Mrs. Gunnerson." " First name?" " Hilda." "The crystal?" "Waterford and Baccarat." " China?" " Wedgewood and Crown Derby." " Darby, Darby!" " Darby." " The paintings in the east gallery?" " Cezanne, Utrillo and a Van Gogh." "What about the Van Gogh?" "It's one of the largest canvases he ever worked on from the Arles Period." "Great." "You'll sail through it." "Change clothes with her." "You, get her sheets and a blanket." "All right, fine." "As for the details, let's leave those to our legal departments." "Fair enough." "Meanwhile, we'll move ahead." "I've scheduled a major press conference and then a party to celebrate the biggest deal since the Alaska Pipeline." "The Carrington-Colby Pipeline." "I'll expect you to bring your whole family, of course." "Unacceptable, Jason." "Well, you could bring half of Denver if you want to." "You know what I'm talking about." "I want my company to make the announcement right here in Denver." "It's Denver-Carrington oil that's gonna be moved" " through that pipeline." " Now, look" "The announcement is going to be made here." "Followed by a party that I'll give." "You can bring your family." "Damn it, Blake, who set up this deal?" "Without my tankers, you'd have no way to move your oil." "Without my oil, there'd be no pipeline." "I won't bend on this, Jason." "Uh" " Never mind, you have it your way." "We're wasting valuable time." "We got more important things to do than quarrel over a damn party." "You make the announcement, you give the party and I'll bring the entire Colby clan." "Sable and Constance and all the children." "I'll look forward to seeing you all." "Bye." "Denver." "Why are you going?" "Why are you even thinking of going?" "You chopping away at me too?" " I don't need that now." " But that's just the point." "You don't need the strain of a trip like that right now." "And what do I need, Constance?" "I don't know." "See more specialists." "More tests." "Medical opinions?" "You really think that's gonna change things?" "It might." "Connie, I'm dying." "You've gotta face that." "It's not such a big thing." "It happens to everybody." "If these doctors do manage to come up with something, give me a few more months, that still won't change things." " Not in the long run." " But this pipeline thing." "That matters in the short run." "Yes, by God, it does." "It matters plenty." "Jason, why?" "Why?" "Don't you think the family has enough money?" "Do you have to keep on making more, more, more all at the-?" "Go on." "At the expense of you enjoying your life to the fullest." "I believe it's a little late for me to change now, Connie." "Besides, it was never really the money anyway." "You know that." "It was doing it." "Thinking it up and making it, by God, work." "Heh." "I lie awake these nights thinking if God had a mind to let me off the hook on this, what he should really do is take it all away." "Let me go back to the beginning and see if I could do it all over again." "No, no, I understand." "He is not likely to accommodate me so far as that." "A few months is fine." "Give me time to get this pipeline deal in place." "A pipeline's not a bad thing to leave behind, is it?" "Yeah, I'll settle for that." "Leave something behind so people will maybe say:" ""Hey, good work." "You did real well, Jason Colby."" "Rich or poor, a man doesn't get many chances like that in his life." "You see what I'm saying?" "I'm trying to." "Now, you'd better or else" "Yes, I know." "I know, you'll sue me." "Yes, except I'd probably lose." "Yeah." "Hey, that's what I need from you these next months." "You see?" "No tears." "Don't you sing any sad songs for me now." "Now, I don't want that." "I wanna enjoy what I got left." "All of it." "I plan to devour the rest of my life like a rare steak." "Very, very rare." "Oh, Jason." "Hey." "I really don't know." "This is a very busy month for us, socially." "We've got the opening of the opera and the charity performance of the Royal Ballet." "So thank you for asking." "Yes." "Goodbye, Blake." "Well, what did he want?" "Hmm." "Hi, darling." "He wanted to invite us to a party." "Oh, did a new shipment of your favourite hemlock" " just arrive in Denver?" " Mm-hm." "Cute." "No, he's planning on announcing his new pipeline deal and since I'm part owner of the South China Sea oil leases, he wants me to be there to join in the celebration." "So?" "So?" "It coincides with the time that we're going to be in Moldavia." "Alexis, go to the party." "It'll look strange if you don't." "And let you go to Moldavia alone?" "No, I don't think that's a very good idea." "Why?" "Because you don't think I'll try hard enough to rescue Galen?" "No." "Because this is something that we planned on doing together, Dex." "All right, come with me, don't go to the party." "But for God's sake, don't let anyone know what we're up to." "This mission has got to be a secret." "It spells the difference between our living or dying." "Oh, God." " You make it sound so morbid." " I'm just trying to make a point." " Mm." " I hope I have." " Yes." " I'm sorry about lunch." "Something's come up." " See you later?" " Yes." "Bye, darling." " Yes, Mrs. Dexter." " Donald, would you get my daughter" " on the phone, please?" " Uh" " It's David." "Of course, David." "Better still, call my car." "I'll go and see her myself." "Didn't Miss Adams leave a message when she checked out?" "I see." "Thanks." "As I recall, you have an office of your own across the hall, Miles." "What's wrong, your intercom not working?" "I came to ask you to explain to Dad" "I care more about Denver than that damned party." "Funny you should mention that." "Daddy called me when I was leaving the courthouse." "He expects you at that party, twin brother." "He wasn't kidding either." "It was the full-on-Jason-Colby storm-cloud voice and I'm supposed to see that you get there." "Miles, why do you always have to embarrass him?" "I've got something more important to do." "That girl again?" "Oh, no." "Not your little homeless waif, or whatever you call her." " For God's sake, Miles" " For her sake, Monica." "Won't you realize, I'm trying..." "I'm helping somebody who's in trouble." "She can't remember." "She doesn't know anyone here in L.A." "She can't remember who she is." "She's lost." "She could get hurt." "But our live-in Lancelot intends to see that she doesn't, huh?" "Miles." "Could this just be some kind of a put-on?" " Could she just be after-?" " Sweetheart, I know the difference." "I've gotta give it a go." "You understand, don't you?" "Yes." "But only because it's you." " And?" " I'll try to explain to Daddy." "Try." "I don't know how far I'm gonna get, though." "For some reason, this is very, very important to him." "Now get out of here." "Scat, I'm busy." " Did you speak to Jason today?" " Yes, I did." "He's coming here." " Without a fight?" " Well, he started one." "But without exactly caving in, he did agree to come." "Heh-heh." "Good." "Oh, Jeff." "I've been doing some thinking about Fallon." "It's been a year since she died in that plane crash and I wanted to do something to keep her memory alive." "So I'm planning on donating a million dollars to Denver Memorial so they could set up a paediatrics wing at the hospital." "The wing will be called the Fallon Colby Wing." " How do you feel about that?" " Well, I'll tell you how I feel about it." "To everyone else, she's dead and buried and now being memorialized." "But not to me, Blake." "Because I'm still not convinced she's dead." "Randall." "Randall." "I have a bus to catch, Miles." "I have to go." " Just like that?" " Miles, please listen." " I'm going to Phoenix and" " No, you listen." "If I hadn't played my hunch, remembered what you said about trying to reach the mountains by bus, I would have lost you." "It would've been better that way." "This is something I have to do on my own." "Uh-uh on that." "A trip anywhere is a lot more fun when you have company." "What, after all, is a classical Italian sports car for?" "It's good to see you smile." "I guess I'll always smile when I think about you, Miles." "No matter where I am, what I find out about myself." "But as for your offer, no." " You've helped me enough already." " Oh, no, Randall." "It's not as though I've tried to come on to you or anything." "Why are you doing this to us?" "Because I don't know who I am." "And I'm afraid of what I might find out." "I could be some kind of criminal." "I want to help you because I like helping you." "Being with you makes me feel better about myself than I've ever felt before." "So let's both go to Phoenix, all right?" "All right." "Yeah, this way." "Everything's gone wrong." "It's out of control." "My aunt wasn't supposed to be here." "We were only gonna chloroform her, not hit her on the head." "She may be hurt, badly." "You gotta calm down before you blow this whole thing." "Look, your aunt saw her double." "What was I suppose to do?" " I can't rewrite the scenario." " We didn't have to go that far." "It was fate, not a plan." "Look, Samantha Josephine Reece, know this and remember this." "I'm an artist, a film director." "I'm not a criminal." "And your aunt is not seriously hurt." "She's only unconscious." " A little bump on the head." " You're positive?" "I can promise you she'll be very well looked after." "She will never, never be hurt." "For now, what's important is for you to get Rita into the Carrington house and make sure everything goes according to schedule there." "Because the sooner she's in place as Mrs. Carrington, the sooner you'll get your inheritance back and we can all take off like birds on gossamer wings." "Very, very expensive gossamer." "Oh, God." "What's happening?" "Who's there?" "I can hear you breathing." "Who is it?" "There's nothing to worry about, Mrs. Carrington." "Don't worry." "I won't hurt you." "Who are you?" "That isn't your concern right now." "Look, you've had a kind of accident." "There's a small bump on your head." "No, no cause to be alarmed." "None at all." "I wouldn't bother trying to get out of those ropes, you won't be able to." "Where am I?" "That isn't important." "You're here and you're alive." "Give me some water." "No orders." "I don't take orders." "Say, "Please give me a glass of water." You can say that, can't you?" "On second thought, that isn't necessary." "You're thirsty." "And you're helpless." "I can get you a glass of water." "You can say, "Thank you."" "Thank you." "Here you go." "I'll hold it while you drink." " My head." " I'm so sorry." "Please, would you untie me so I can hold the cup myself?" "Please?" "All right." "You." "You're the man that was outside Sammy Jo's apartment in New York." "And then in Denver." " Mrs. Carrington, you should never, never have done that." "That was a mistake." "A big mistake." "He said he saw Fallon." "And so I'd like to use one of the company planes to fly to Phoenix this afternoon." "Jeff, do you remember this?" "It's Fallon's ring." "Do you remember where it was found?" "Yes, I know where it was found." "It was found in the plane wreck." "That doesn't prove anything." "She could have given it away, sold it." "She could have hocked it." "But son, I know what you've gone through ever since they found this ring in the wreckage." "Your drinking, that marriage to Nicole." "And all for what?" " You want me to say Fallon is dead." " I want you to believe it." "Now, please, Jeff, give it up." "Can't you see that it's tearing us all apart?" "Blake, there is a man in Arizona who thinks he saw Fallon." "Are you gonna stay here and decide that he's wrong?" "Now, I've got to try and find Fallon for me and for my son." "All right, I'll go with you." "Pick me up in half an hour." "I'll call Krystle and tell her I'm going." "Barbara, ring my house for me, will you, please?" "Yes, Mr. Carrington." "Ah." "Mrs. Carrington." "Mr. Carrington's been trying to reach you by phone." "He's gone to Phoenix for the day, but he will be back for dinner." "May be a little late." "Thank you." "Thank you, Gerard." " I thought that's who he was." " Now you know who he was." "Gerard." "Good afternoon, Mrs. Carrington." "Mrs. Carrington." "It's Reece now." "I'm sorry, Miss Reece." "From the description you gave me, that was Jeannette?" "Very good." "Ooh, uh, Mrs. Carrington, Mr. Carrington sent a message that we'll be having a party for 200 guests next week." "And I just found out, we can't order enough morellos." "So I was wondering what you'd think of trying the paupiette de veau aux champignon?" "Well..." "Or you'd think it safer to go with the escalope de veau sautee aux truffes?" "I'm afraid, Mrs. Gunnerson, that decision is gonna have to wait." "My aunt promised I could see Danny when I got here." "I can't wait." "Very well." "Sammy Jo, this is never gonna work." "I don't think I can pull it off." "You're gonna be fine." "Just relax." "Besides, you know the kind of lives these people lead." "You read a lot of those fancy magazines." "Yes, but they're in English, not French." "I don't know what she was talking about." "I guess you are gonna need all the help you can get." "You, Auntie Krystle, have just invited me to stay for dinner." "And I accept the invitation." " He really got under your skin, didn't he?" " Who?" " Blake Carrington, of course." "Heh." "That will be the day." "I'm talking about polo." "Blake doesn't even play polo." "Don't give me that." "You have been a grizzly bear since you talked to him in Denver." "Why did you give in?" "Why didn't you insist on making the announcement out here?" "Because I didn't want to take the time to argue about it." "That's not like you, Jason." "Is something wrong?" "No, I feel fine." "Well, something's been bothering you and I thought it must be Blake." "After all, the whole pipeline venture was your creation." "That's why I'm calling a press conference the day we get back to Los Angeles with satellite coverage so the world knows this isn't Blake Carrington's show." "It's a Colby-Carrington venture." "Still it's the first impression that counts." "Ooh." "I can just see them all lined up:" "The Rocky Mountain royal family taking their bows." "Well, the Colbys will be there too." "All of us, especially Miles." "It's high time he took his proper place in this family." "I want you to wear something special in Denver too." "I want you to shine like the full moon." "It's what I'm paid for, isn't it?" "Mrs. Colby." "What you've got nobody can pay for." "Hmm." "Don't mind me." "I'm just taking notes." "Am I interrupting anything?" "No, but in another minute or two, you might have been." "Don't you bother to knock anymore, Bliss?" "Daddy, the door was open." "Where on earth are you headed for in that costume?" "A lunar exploration?" "I'm headed for Utah, mother." " White water rafting with Sean." " Now, you can't do that." "You've gotta go to Denver, with the rest of us." "I've been giving that a lot of thought and I've decided against it." "Decided against it?" "She's not my daughter." "At least not today she isn't." "It's a matter of principle, Daddy." "I don't approve of your pipeline." "So I'm not going to lend either my name or my presence." "I'm not asking you to lend your presence." "I'm telling you to show up." "This is important to me." " And what about Miles?" " What about Miles?" "He's got some new playmate and they've gone off together." " At least, I'm passing on principle." " You're not passing on anything." "Neither is your brother, nor your sister." "I promised Blake Carrington all the Colbys would be at his party and we will all be there." "That is the end of the discussion." "Well, I'm sorry, Daddy." "I love you very much but that is not the end of the discussion." "So I hear that you and Mummy aren't going to the party." "You heard?" "From whom?" "From Mummy." " Well, you heard correct." " So how come?" "Alexis didn't explain?" "No, in fact, she was very evasive." "So how come?" "Because we've got things to do." "But what sort of things?" "Dex, now you're being equally evasive." "Obviously, because I don't wanna answer any more questions." "But Dex, this is the party of the year." " What could be so important?" " Amanda, look." " This is none of your affair, please" " Oh, my God." "Moldavia." "You're going to Moldavia." " Wrong." " You are." " And I've got to tell Michael." " Amanda, don't." "You think Michael's father's still alive and you're gonna try and rescue him." " Dex, please tell me the truth." " All right." "It is true." "But you've got to swear to keep this quiet." "Do you understand that?" "The important thing is not to jeopardize my life and especially not your mother's." "But does she realize how dangerous this is?" "Yes, she does." "Oh, Dex, Dex." "Amanda, you asked to see me." "Anything wrong?" "No, nothing." "Are you sure?" "Yes." "Why don't you try this one on." "It's her favourite." "Why, I don't care, Sammy Jo." "You pick it." "Mm." "I'm gonna order a gallon of this before we get out of here." "I love it." "Oh, I love this." "Oh!" "This is the most comfortable bed I've ever been on." "What's wrong?" "Are you sure I can pull this off?" "I mean, it's one thing dressing up like the lady of the house but fooling the lady's husband in bed." "That's the only thing I'm not worried about." "See, it's like dancing." "You don't lead, you follow." " Going to Phoenix is a wild goose chase." "Jeff." "Thanks." "You've got to try to put today out of your mind as much as possible." " It's not that easy, Blake." " I know it's not easy." "I don't know how you've done it, to have gone through what you've gone through." "If you 're worried about my mental state, say it." "Yes, I am worried." "I'm worried you're gonna destroy your life unless you pull yourself together." "Jeff, I've never asked you to do anything." "I'm begging you now." "Go to California." "Start a new life away from Denver." "You'll be much happier." "I'm sorry for everything I've put you through." "But you're right." "I have to get away." "Start a new life." "The old one is dead." "Yes, Lin." "All right, I'll take it." "Sable, what a surprise." "Alexis, darling." "I don't have to tell you how happy and relieved I am you got out of that dreadful little country safely." "Oh, thank you for your concern, dear." "Only natural, considering our mummies were sisters." "Yes, but that doesn't exactly make us kissing cousins, does it?" "To what do I owe the honour of this phone call, Sable?" " Sable, where is the-?" " Shh." "It's Alexis." "Hello?" "Hello, are you there?" "Yes, forgive me, Alexis." "Now, about Blake's wingding." "I gather it's going to be a pretty grand affair." "Yes, a swell party." "You know Blake." "I suppose the whole Carrington clan will be on hand to back him up, including your adorable Amanda and her brand new prince charming." "He's a king, dear." "Ooh." "Sable, are you feeling all right?" "Yes, wonderful." "It's just that there's a pest in the room." "I'll deal with it later." "Meanwhile, I was wondering what you're going to be wearing because I would hate to turn up in" "I'm not going to the party, Sable." " What?" " No, I have a previous engagement." "Something that takes priority." "Sorry, but I can't tell you what it is." "I see." "Well, I'm devastated." "Mm." "I'm sure you are." " And I'm sure that Jason will be too." " Hmm." "We must speak soon." "Goodbye, darling." "Well, what's going to devastate me?" "Alexis won't be at the party." "I thought she owned part of Blake's leases." "Well, she does." "Not as much as she claims, though." "I wonder if there's trouble." "I don't know." "She evaded all over the place." "Well, what else do you got for me aside from this extraordinary body?" " lsn't that enough?" " Always." "You're very lustful these days, darling." "I'm all for it, mind you." "But they do say a suddenly sexy man has something to hide." "Hey, what do you mean "suddenly sexy"?" "I resent that." "I can't help the way I feel about your body." "Or your mind." "I never underestimate your mind." "I never underestimate you, Jason." "Never." "No, thank you." "Mrs. Carrington, may I get you a drink?" " Yes." " What would you like?" "My usual." "I'm sorry, but I'm new here." "Champagne, please." " Sammy Jo, I'm really nervous." " You'll be all right." "Now, you know who these two are." "I've seen the pictures of them." " Hello, Amanda, Michael." " Hello, Krystle." "You're looking very beautiful tonight, as usual." "Oh, well, thank you." "Amanda, I love your suit." "And your necklace." "But you and Daddy gave me this to me when we got back to Denver." "Well, of course." "Good evening, everyone." "Sammy Jo." "What are you doing here?" "Same as everybody else, I'm just waiting for dinner." "In fact, I am getting more famished by the minute." "Then why don't you try one of Denver's 500 or so restaurants." "Steven, if you'd like to talk about this alone" "There's nothing I can't say in front of the others." "Our agreement was you could see Danny because he's your son." "It included nothing about being welcome for dinner." "I'd like you to leave the house." "Steven, she is Danny's mother and a member of this family." "And I invited her to dinner." "And I would like everyone in this house to treat one another with respect and consideration from now on." " Evening, everyone." " Good evening, Blake." " Welcome back, Daddy." " Thank you, darling." " Is something wrong?" " No, nothing to worry about." " Hello, darling." " Hello, darling." "Krystle." "Would you like a drink before dinner?" "Yes, yes, very much." "It's been a long flight." "About the party, darling." "I'd like every last detail to be perfect." "Gerard should hire more than the usual staff for the evening." "And Mrs. Gunnerson should go all out on the menu." " I already talked to her." " Good." "Now, about the California Colbys." "There are a lot of them coming." "They're an imperfect group." "Of course, he's probably saying the same thing about the Carringtons right now." "He being?" "Jason Colby." "Oh, be prepared." "He's brilliant." "He'll try to charm you." "But his wife, Sable, will pretend to ignore it." "But watch out for her." "She's like a panther, always on the scent." "And then there's Constance Colby Patterson, Jason's sister." "Now, she is a classy woman, in anybody's book." "What is it, darling?" "What's wrong?" "Blake, do you mind if I invite Sammy Jo to stay with us for a while?" "To stay here?" "Why?" "Well, I just think that Danny and she need to spend some time together." "After all, she is his mother." "What about his father?" "You saw the way Sammy Jo and Steven" "looked at each other all during dinner." " Well, yes, but" " Krystle." "I may have some reservations about it." "But I realize you're trying to reach out to the girl to let her know that you care about her." "But I have to think that having her stay at our house is a mistake." "Blake, it's very important to me." "Please." "All right, you win." "She's welcome to stay." "Oh, you twist me around your little finger." "Thank you." "I appreciate it." "You'll never know how much." "There's something else wrong, isn't there?" "Oh." "I know, I..." "I'm acting a little strange tonight." "A little, yes." "Well, I've had headaches before in my time." "But this one, I..." "I don't know where it came from." "Well, you've taken something for it, haven't you?" "Yes." "But it's kind of stubborn." "Well, it'll go, in time." "Come to bed." "You didn't eat anything." "Let me go." "Please." "Wish I could, but I can't." "What do you want from me?" "Why are you keeping me here?" "Drink your milk." "You'll relax, sleep better." "And you have to relax." "This will do it." "What happened to my clothes?" "Why am I wearing these?" "My mother used to say there's nothing better or more nourishing than milk." "Nothing." "That woman who looks like me." "Who is she?" "I used to prefer chocolate milk when I was a kid." "Lots of rich, dark syrup." "You?" "Are you gonna answer me?" "My clothes, that woman." "Am I being held for ransom?" "You have a very fertile imagination, Mrs. Carrington." "A kind of dreamer's quality." "Attractive." "But it's unsettling, to yourself." "Just look at you." "I don't know what woman you're talking about and I don't know what clothes." "Speaking of clothes, I have something here for you." "This." "Do you like it?" "Oh, please." "Please let me go." "I can't." "Believe me, though." "As dark as things look now, they'll seem brighter in the morning." "Are you afraid of this mission?" "Yes, as a matter of fact I am." "Only a fool wouldn't be." "It's that fear that keeps you alert." "Yes, I'm afraid too, and it's a foreign feeling to me." "How many times are you going to take that gun apart and clean it?" "Until I feel it's done, okay?" "Hmm." "Why are you in a bad mood now?" "You really wanna know?" "Yes, I really wanna know." "All right." "It's because maybe, with the possibility of death facing us," "I can finally get the truth out of you." "The truth?" "That you're still in love with your..." "With Galen." "Oh, God." "How many times do I have to tell you?" "How many ways do I have to prove to you that you're the only man I love." "Oh, I'll have that proof soon enough, won't I?" "Even at the risk of losing your life and mine, I'll have it." "I'm gonna rescue your king for you, Alexis." "And then you're gonna have to choose between us, once and for all." "I want you." "But I want you free and clear not because I'm alive and the other guy isn't." "Look." "We're going on a dangerous mission and we may not come back." "So why don't we enjoy the time that we've got, and don't let us fight." "Hmm?" "Hello, Thomas?" "Yes, we'd like not to be disturbed." "Mr. Dexter and I are going to take a little rest." "Amanda, I'd" "Oh, um" " That- That will be all, thank you." "I'd like to spend the afternoon with you and become..." "Become what, Michael?" "Reacquainted." "I mean, we seem to have grown somewhat apart since the wedding." "It seems to me I've been telling you that for some time now." "And finally I'm admitting it." "Amanda." "Forgive me if I've been cold to you." "But so much has happened, so much ugliness." "Look," "I want to feel close to you again." "I want to start over." "Michael, I've wanted nothing more than to hear you say that." "What is it?" " Michael." " Amanda." "Look, I'm telling you that I need you." "Now, I've never said that to anyone in my life." "Please try to understand." "All right." "Well, explain it to me." "Amanda, what exactly is on your mind?" "I can't tell you." "Well, what do you mean you can't tell me?" "It's Dexter, isn't it?" "I mean, you've been jumpy ever since I saw the two of you together." " Don't be ridiculous." " What do you mean ridiculous?" "Stop it." "Michael, don't." "No, stop it." "Ow." "Michael, no, not like this." "Stop." "You are my wife." "I don't" "I won't be treated like this." "And it seems there's this problem at the refinery in San Francisco." "Adam went there last week to take care of it." "That's impossible, Blake." "I just spoke to our people in San Francisco, there is no problem." " What?" " Not only that." "The last time they saw Adam was here in Denver two months ago." "Well, I don't understand that." "I'm sorry to barge in on you both like this but I've got to talk to you alone, Daddy." "Excuse me, I'll check with our people in San Francisco again." "What is it, darling?" "What the matter?" "I wanted you to know that I'm getting a divorce." "I know it's upsetting." "But I can't stand living with Michael, not for one more minute." "I can't." "It's unbearable." "I'm so sorry to hear that, darling, I" "It comes as a kind of a shock." "I'm not an authority on the subject, but it always seemed to me that marriage was not something that you jump into, you jump out of." "Now here, at the first sign of trouble, you're bailing out." "I just think that marriage is a commitment that has to be worked at." "I know that and I've tried." "That's why I've put up with the rudeness and the coldness." "That's why I didn't say anything when he insulted me or shut me out." "Because I understand what he's been through." "And I wanted to stand by him because I've realized that this wasn't the time to criticize him or judge him." "But I can't do it anymore." "I won't let myself be treated like this." " I can't and won't." " Don't give up yet, darling." "You've got a responsibility to try to straighten things out." "How?" "What can I possibly do that I haven't already done?" "Well, maybe, just maybe, I have an idea that might work." "Hello?" "Yeah, this is he." "Monica." "I got your message, Miles." "I gather you're on the road." "Right." "I'm calling to tell you again," "I won't be making it to this party in Denver." "Still gallivanting with your lady who can't remember who she is?" "Hope you've smoothed things over with the father." "Sorry, brother dear, I told you what he said." "This is a command performance." "Typical." "He snaps his fingers and we jump." "Look, I don't know about you, I'm getting sick of it." "Miles, this one seems especially important to him." "Do it this time, okay?" "Why don't you carry the ball." "You're the one who's living out his expectations of me." "Miles, would it hurt so much?" "Daddy seems different recently." "I don't know, he..." "He really needs you there." "All right, I'll be there." "And I'll be there with a beautiful woman." "All right, we finally get to meet her." "I look forward to it." "Bye, Miles." "See you." " Was that you're call to L.A.?" " Yeah." "My beautiful but all too persuasive sister." "We're going to Denver." "There's the border." "If you're asked anything, Sister Theresa?" "I met you in a neighbouring town and asked for a ride in your truck back to the convent." "And you?" "My name is Sister Marie, I'm with Sister Theresa." "And we both needed a ride back to the convent." " Dex?" " We'll be all right, Alexis." "Get him out, take him out of there." " What's the problem?" " I'll drive you to the convent." " But what's the poor man done?" " That's not your concern." "Mr. Dexter, why were you trying to sneak into Moldavia?" "I'm interested in opening up trade with your new government." " I felt that the only way" " So you attempt to cross the border in a truck, dressed as a common labourer?" "Look, I felt that was the only chance I had" "We have established quite a few consulates in Europe by now." "You could have contacted any of them for any business proposals." "Now, what is your real reason for being here?" "You just said it, Warnick, business." "It's what my life is all about." " Is it, Dexter?" " Yes, it is." "Now, after the way you people treated me the last time I was here," "I couldn't take the chance of coming in a three-piece suit and shiny boots, could I?" "Tell me, whom are you working for?" "Myself." "And who besides yourself is involved in this plot?" "What plot?" "There is no plot." "No plot?" "A leopard does not change his spots, Dexter." "And an adventurer does not change his style." "You have been on how many missions now involving mostly misguided heroics trying to find American soldiers in the Far East?" "To free American journalists and diplomats from wherever?" "And you expect me to believe you?" "Well, I don't." "And if you won't tell the truth now to me, perhaps a few hours in one of our less advanced prisons might cause you to do otherwise." "Over there, please." "Thank you." "Thanks." "Well, it seems that we are alone, Mrs. Carrington." "It seems that you're right, Mr. Carrington." "You know, you're getting inordinately blase, do you realize that?" "I am?" "How?" "We've been married exactly one week and three hours, and you have done absolutely nothing to say:" ""What a special day." "What a special hour." "What a special moment."" " I haven't, huh?" " No." " That's really awful of me." " Mm-hm." "Well, how do you suggest I acknowledge" " these terribly vital time factors?" " Ha-ha-ha." "Well, you could tell me just how much you love me." "Because I love you, Claudia, so much." " Oh, God." "So much." " Oh." "Oh, I do." "Oh, with all my heart, I do." "Why don't you pack up the rest of your things?" "You're gonna move into the mansion with me." "I think it's time I told Blake about the wedding." "Oh, Adam, I" "I don't want to hear "Adam." And whatever follows it, forget it." "Claudia, I love you." "I want this to happen for us my way." "I agree, it's just" "What?" "I just wish the honeymoon could go on forever." "It will in the mansion." "Now pack, please." "Okay." " I knew you wouldn't approve of this marriage." "That's why we needed to be away from here to do it." "Well, go on, I'm sure there's more." "There is." "Claudia and I love each other very much." "I hope you can see your way clear to accepting us as man and wife." " And that's it?" " Yes." "Well, then, so much for affairs of the heart." "Now let's get down to business." "Meaning?" "San Francisco." "The problem at the refinery you went to take care of." "The only problem was, Adam, there was no problem." " There must be some mistake." " Do you want me to phone them?" " You don't believe me?" " I don't." "All right, I lied." "It wasn't the worst lie anybody ever told." "Obviously, you lied because you wanted to go to San Francisco to meet Claudia." "Which makes it a double lie, because you promised me that you'd stay away from her." "Well, I don't tolerate lies." "Not from people that work for me." "Especially not a Carrington." "Is that understood?" " Yes." " Good." "Now let this be understood too." "I'm changing my will." "I'm leaving you one dollar until you prove you can be trusted again." "What?" "I won't stand for that." " You're gonna have to stand for that." " I won't." "You can't do that." "Trying to control your family with money, manipulate us." "Now I'm in no mood for this, and you are in no position to accuse me of anything." "You betrayed my trust and now you're gonna have to work hard, damned hard, to earn it back again." "And that means bowing to you, obeying every whim, grovelling to your pet, the fair-haired boy, Jeff Colby." "You won't have to do that." "Jeff is moving to California." "Chairman of the La Mirage?" "What is that suppose to mean?" "There's no chairman of this hotel." "Well, there is now." "So tell it to my father-in-law, Claudia." "He appointed me yesterday." "But don't worry, I'm sure we can work very well together." "Anyway, I'd really like to get back to these books." "So if you would check out the kitchen, there is a banquet schedule for this evening, I believe." "Krystle?" "Oh, hello, Jeff, Little Blake." "Everybody calls me L.B. now." "Oh, of course, well, forgive me, sir." "L.B. and I were just talking about the move to California." "That he'll be staying here with you and his grandpa until I can send for him." "Isn't that right?" "And I'm gonna have a good time, I hope, until I can go to California too." "Well, that is all right with you, isn't it?" "I think it'll be a great idea." "And we'll have a wonderful time." "You and I and grandfather." "You mean Grandpa." "Jeff, I'm just wondering, are you sure that this is a good idea?" "I mean, wouldn't he be better off in California with you?" "Well, it's just until I get settled." "Then I'll send for him." "I hope you're not offended, Jeff, you know he's always welcome here." "It's just that, well, you're such a great father." "I've seen you with Kristina." "And I know that I'm leaving my son in the best of hands." "And that makes it a lot easier on me going to California." "I understand." "Hey." "Well, he'd rather do anything than have his hair tousled by a woman." "Well, I can't blame you, L.B., I can't blame you at all." "There are many, many of us who are still very loyal to King Galen." "We meet in basements, in cells, to keep our allegiances secret." "We hope to restore the monarchy soon." "Sister Theresa, it's essential that I meet with someone from your underground as soon as possible." "All the arrangements have already been made, Mrs. Dexter." "Please ask the visitor to enter." "Elena." "What are you doing here?" "Oh, Sister, how do you know you can trust this woman?" "Oh, yes, we can." "She is our friend and inspiration, and she has come here at great risks to her life." "I do not blame you for being suspicious but you shouldn't be." "As the good sister said, it's dangerous for me to be here, so I will be brief." "The duke, my father, was behind the revolution." " Well, why didn't you stop him?" " I did not know at that time." "Now of course, I realize why he did not want me at the wedding." "But that is past." "For now, just know that I will work with you to save the king." "Then you do believe he's alive?" "I know he is, but he is being kept prisoner by Yuri and his gang, and they will do anything to stay in power." "Elena, my husband, do you know what's happened to him?" "Is he still alive?" "I do not know the answer, Mrs. Dexter." "And right now, I'm afraid nobody does." " Mr. Colby." " That's right." "I'm Michael of Moldavia and Chairman of La Mirage." "May I personally welcome you to our hotel." "Thank you." "This is my wife, Sable, my sister, Mrs. Patterson, my daughter, Monica, and my attorney, Garrett Boydston." "My father-in-law ordered the finest suites in the hotel for you, of course." "We're holding six." "Will you be needing all?" " That's right." " I'll show you to your rooms." "Jason, with Miles and Bliss not here, we don't need six." "They'll be here, we need all six." "Jason, I don't mind telling you, I feel like a fifth wheel." "This is a family affair." "Wrong, Garrett, you're a fourth wheel." "Blake will have a whole battery of his attorneys wheeled out." "But with you beside me, he'll still be out-gunned." "Oh." "Good afternoon, Miss Reece, we've been expecting you." "Well, I haven't." "What the hell are you doing here?" " I've been invited here." " By who?" "Your English is getting as sloppy as your sex life." "I thought it was, "By whom?"" "I asked you something." "My aunt." "What's the matter, Steven?" "Now that your boyfriend is dead, are you afraid I'm gonna seduce you?" "Excuse me, Miss Reece, would you like your bags taken up to your room?" "I'd like that very much." "Krystle?" "Is Sammy Jo moving in here?" "Yes." "I thought it would be good for her to be near Danny." "I mean, after all, a growing child needs his mother, Steven." "I can't believe it." "After all that's happened?" "How could you do this to me?" "Look, I've spent a lot of time with my niece recently and she's changed." "I think we should both give her another chance." "I don't know if she's changed, but you sure have." "Nice lunch, Blake, you've got a good chef." "And your accommodations were satisfactory?" "Oh, first-class." "Your daughter, Fallon, she did a nice job for you here." "That's kind of you." "Thank you for that, Jason." "I've got something to propose to you about tonight." "What's that?" "That we announce the pipeline, as planned, but that we don't set a start-up date for production." "Why not?" "Well, in light of the oil glut in the world at the moment and the price wars within OPEC" "I don't agree." "Let's set a date, we don't want to waste any time on this." "I don't understand you, Jason." "From your very first phone call, you've been pressing on this date." "Now, why?" "There's nobody competing with us." "There's nobody out there trying to beat us to it." "Yeah, let's just say in this project, the word tomorrow is not in my vocabulary." "Thanks for lunch, I'll see you at the party." "Oh, what time is it?" "Quarter to 7." "Time to get dressed, darling." "What is it, something wrong?" "You seem nervous." "I guess it's just that I know how important tonight is to you." "Oh, come on now." "You've produced bigger circuses than this one." "It's not a circus, it's a very serious party and it means a lot to you." "Yes, it does but you're gonna do just fine, you always have." "Come on." "How many times have I told you I loved you?" "Three thousand, seven hundred and seventy-three times." "Let's make it 3,774." "I love you very much." "And I want you to wear something to the party that's kind of special." "For me." "God, it's fantastic." "Oh." "It's beautiful, Blake." "It's really beautiful." "Well, not half as beautiful as you." " Do you know what I wish tonight?" " What?" "That I make you very proud of me." "You got two more wishes coming." "That's the only one." "For now." "I'm glad you liked the clothes I bought you." "I knew I'd guess your size." "Also, I picked out some novels I thought you would find interesting." "Especially this one." "It's romantic." "You have to let me out of here." "I don't have to do anything, Mrs. Carrington." "Enjoy your reading." "Meanwhile, I'll get you an extra blanket." "It's chilly in here, the night air." "Look at this place, it's a hovel." "I can't provide you with servants, you know." "Let's tidy it up." "Jason, I haven't seen your son, Miles, tonight." "Where is he?" "He may be a little late but he'll be here." " Good evening, Miss Deveraux." " Good evening, Gerard." "Excuse me." "Dominique, hello." "Blake." " Oh, I want you to meet some people." " Oh, I'd love too." "This is Jason Colby, my new partner and the guest of honour tonight." " This is Dominique Deveraux." " A real pleasure." "It's my pleasure." "This is his lovely daughter, Monica who also happens to be a darn good lawyer." "I've always been a great fan of yours." "I think I have every record you ever made." "Oh, thank you so much." "And Garrett Boydston, chief counsel for Colby Enterprises." "We've met." "How are you, Dominique?" "Wait, you two know each other." "Our paths have crossed, yes." "Krystle, it is lovely here, you must never want to leave home." "Oh, why don't I show you around later, especially through the east gallery." "I want you to see our most recent Van Gogh, from the Arles period." "I couldn't help noticing your divine Boucher." "The portrait of the muse?" "Now, you mustn't tell me you don't love it." "Such sumptuous colour." "Impeccable use of light and atmosphere." "Well, it is beautiful, but I'm fonder of contemporary art." "Oh." "Well, why don't we meet in New York sometime?" "I have found a fabulous new young graffiti artist." "A lot of it is exciting." "Would you excuse me for a few moments?" "Sable, where in the hell is Miles?" "He said he would be here, darling, and he will be." "Steven?" "May I talk to you for a minute?" "I realize that things between you and Adam and me may be awkward." "But I was hoping that in time, we could all be" " Adult about it?" " Yes." "You and I are friends." "We have a strong bond between us." "Well, that'll see us through." "Oh, Steven, don't make fun of me." "Please, tell me that you understand." "I'll tell you this, Claudia." "This friendship between us is zero." "It's less than nothing." "All that about breaking up with Adam, needing time to yourself" "It was all obviously a damned lie." " If I said anything like that" " You said exactly that." "Well, because I didn't know Adam and I were to be married." "Don't you believe me?" "Right now I'm wondering if you've ever been truthful to me, or if this whole thing has been a big manipulation." "A manipulation?" "Who are you to talk?" "You threw me away." "I was married to you and I was determined to make a good life." "But you were so bloody undecided about what you wanted, Luke or me." "I never really felt that I had you." "Then you decided it was Luke, not me." "So, what was I supposed to do?" "Wait around for the rest of my life?" "It's one thing to make a new start for yourself." "It's another thing to run off with my brother." "Your brother and I happen to be in love." "I hope someday you'll understand that, if you could understand what love is." "You apparently think I don't." "I don't know, your world is foreign to me." "You hate it." "You're jealous of it." "I'm not jealous." "Why should I be?" "I have Adam." "Who do you have?" "I'm sorry." "When we get back home, Danny and I are going to move in with you." "The world may disapprove but I don't give a damn about the world." "Just about us." "Quickly, they're looking for two sisters who crossed the border with Mr. Dexter." " You must hide." " You sisters, come here." "What's your name?" "Sister Theresa." "And you?" " Either of you know French?" " Yes." "Ask her where she's from." "Ask her what order she belongs to." "Sister of Charity." "The nun I was looking for is American." "This one's obviously French." "Hello, Dominique." "Garrett, it has been a very long time." "Twenty years, or just about." "Twenty years to the month." "Thank God, Colorado land is a little more steady than the Mediterranean was that month." "I rather enjoyed the storm." "Made the ship rock like a cradle, remember?" "What I really remember is that the storm prevented anyone from attending my final performance." "But I was there." "Yes, you were there, Garrett, the faithful passenger." "At least to me, if not to your wife." "But you did have the decency to tell me that you were married." "Before I fell completely head over heels." "Anyway, Garrett, I was never serious about a commitment." "You were a very ambitious girl with no interest in settling down." "And you had a wife." "What was her name?" "Jessica." "Yes, how is Jessica?" "We're into small talk now?" "No, I'm really interested." "We're divorced." "So much for that." "Right now I'm happy that you're happy." "There's obviously a man in your life." "No one of real importance, Garrett." "In that case, I'll be direct about it." "I'd like to see you again." "You are seeing me, Garrett." "You know what I mean." "Experience has taught me that it is best to leave the past in the past." "What we shared on that ship is a beautiful memory for me." "And I would like to leave it exactly like that." "Amanda, I just got word from Moldavia." "Your mother and Dexter tried to enter the country." "And he was seized." "I knew it wouldn't work." "What?" "You knew all along?" "But how are they?" "Are they all right?" "Well, that's all I know." "But you knew about this rescue mission all along and didn't tell me?" "I wanted to tell you but I was sworn to secrecy." "Sworn?" "By whom?" "By Dex." "We can talk about that later." "Isn't there anything we can do for them?" "For your mother or Dexter?" "For both of them." "Well, I don't think so." "You see, I think your true concern is for Dexter." "I've seen you with him." "I've seen what's passed between you." "And I've seen your behaviour towards me." "Now, I think it's time you began to consider admitting your true feelings to me and to yourself." "Mind if I cut in?" "Well, as a matter of fact, I do, but I don't know what I can do about it." "I enjoyed it." "He's very nice." "Well, there are those who'd say that he's a shark." "Not exactly like Hal Lombard." " Who?" " Hal Lombard, remember?" "Our houseguest last year, the one that made a pass at you?" "Oh, yes, I had nearly forgotten." "It was so unpleasant, I tried to block out his name." "Don't worry, darling." "I can handle Jason Colby." "I can handle anything when I want to." "Dear God, oh, please forgive me for waiting until this desperate hour to turn to you." "I know my life hasn't been what it could be." "I've been selfish." "Vengeful." "I've wasted my life in self-serving pursuits." "Oh, but God, I'm turning to you now because you're the only one who can help me." "Please." "Oh, please, let King Galen be safe." "But more important than that, let me ask but" "Let Dex be alive." "Oh, please, God." "Please let him be alive." "Please." "Please." "What I remember about you that summer" " is that I was madly in love with you." " Heh." "Well, you know, Monica?" "It's nice to know that at least one Colby has fond memories of me, that's all." "If you're referring to my wayward brother, Miles and how he got upset because he thought you were stealing some old girl away from him" "Well, that among other things." "Miles thought he was quite the ladies man." "Probably did him good to meet his match." "Although, I wouldn't try it with his latest conquest." " Oh?" " Yeah, they should be arriving anytime now." "I think this one could be serious." "When he gets here, you better put on your blinders." "Excuse me." "Monica?" "You seen anything of your brother?" "He's the most popular young man not at the party." "Not yet." "He's on his way." "Lots of mountains around Denver." "I was thinking tomorrow, after the party, we can go up and see if anything up there sparks your memory." "Randall?" "How can I meet your family?" "They'll all wanna know who I am and..." "Let's do something else, Miles." "First off, they'll love you, Randall." "You're my friend." "That's all anybody needs to know about you." "Now, something's troubling you." "It seems to me that this is as good a time as any to talk about it, Claudia." "You lied to me, Blake." "The man who never lies." "You said that you were going to sell La Mirage." "You said nothing about giving it to your son-in-law, the prince." "Now, I resent that accusation." "If there was any deception going on" "It came from Adam and me, two people who were in love." "I was going to tell you myself about Michael's appointment but I didn't realize that you would be on your honeymoon." "Oh, Blake, I am tired of being treated like this." "I'm sick of being the Carrington doormat." " Adam?" " Excuse me." " Yes?" " Take me home." " This is home." " Not until tomorrow, if ever." "Claudia, what's wrong?" "Your father and I just had a little talk." "We can't let ourselves be bullied, especially by Blake." "We're staying." "Adam, if you don't take me home, I am going to go by myself." "Blake, your major-domo said you asked to see me in here." " What's up?" " I just got a cable from the Chinese." ""Need immediate confirmation of ability to transport all drilled oil."" "What does that mean, Jason?" "You know something I don't?" "What makes you say that?" ""Need confirmation of ability to transport."" "Somebody over there doesn't think you have enough tankers to do the job." "And, of course, I wouldn't put it past you to bluff your way into this deal." "I can't stand that kind of talk, Blake." "If we're going to be partners, there has to be some trust between us." "Are you looking for an excuse to back out of your deal?" "I won't need an excuse if I find out you tried to put one over on me." "You don't need an excuse, period." "If you want out, you just say so." "I told them we would make the announcement at 11:00." "Unfortunately, it's 11 now." "What do you want to do?" "It's your deal, partner." "Dealer's choice, huh?" "All right, let's go." "After you." "You obviously didn't understand what I said before." "You're only alive because I want you kept alive." "Don't make me change my mind." "Thank you, thank you." "Of course, you'll be reading about this in your newspapers tomorrow morning." "But I would like to tell you tonight what a proud moment this is for Denver-Carrington, as well as for Colby Enterprises." "It's a momentous time, in which the future of our country, not to mention the future of generations of Americans to come, will be affected by this." "The first pipeline from California to the nation's heartland." "I'm sure I speak for my partner, Jason Colby, when I say "good luck" to those dedicated men and women across these beautiful United States of ours who will be taking over the task of making this dream come true." "So I thank you, all of you." " Jason?" " Well done, Blake." "I'll shake hands on that." "Yeah, I'll drink to it." "Then we all can dance to it." "My brave little brother." "Good party, huh?" "Constance, may I have this dance?" "Well, this is my lucky night." "That was a nice speech, Blake." "It sounds as though you're happy with the deal." "You know what makes me happy about it is the opportunity to dance with you." "Oh, that's a charming fib." "I'll bet you haven't given me a thought in all these years." "Well, I would say it was more the other way around, right?" "Wrong, I often think about you and your brother, Ben, and all the fun we had when we were younger." "Oh, I'm sorry, Blake." "Does talking about Ben still upset you after all these years?" "Yes, but I think you're right, Constance." "It did happen a long time ago and it's better to concentrate on what's ahead." "Well, I hope you're not too upset my taking Jeff away from you." "Upset?" "I love the boy." "And what an opportunity you've given him." "It's a chance of a lifetime for him, not to mention the challenge." "Oh, it'll be a challenge all right, when he starts dealing with Jason Colby." "Excuse me, Constance." "I love you, Fallon." "I always have and I always will." "Jeff, I thought we had an agreement." "You're right, Blake." "She's gone and she's not coming back." "I can't go in, Miles." "There's something about that house." "I can't go in there." "We're not going anywhere except out of here." "Hold the car, will you?" "Oh, my God, it's Fallon." "What?" "What are you talking about?" "Jeff." "Blake, it was Fallon driving off with another man." " Jeff." " Don't you believe me?" "Don't you think I would recognize the girl I love?" "Fallon!"
