"steven:" "You took Sammy Jo to the airport with my son?" "She said she wanted to wait till the last minute to say goodbye to Danny." " You believed her?" " I had no reason not to, Steven." "She asked me to check her in." "The last I saw of her, she was holding Danny and she promised she'd meet me in five minutes." "What else did she promise you, Adam?" "Are you two arguing again?" "What's going on?" "Sammy Jo has disappeared with Danny." "And my brother helped her." " Did you, Adam?" " Of course not, you don't believe that?" "No, I don't, and I'm sure that when Steven calms down, he won't either." "So help me God, if my child is hurt in any way..." "Steven, I know that Sammy Jo is capable of a lot of things, but I know that she would never harm Danny." "I'll do business with Lawlor, but that doesn't mean I'll like it." " You don't have too many choices left, Blake." "Denver-Carrington is gonna be bigger than ever." "All I need is capital." "Now, a three-month loan from your bank and within a year," "I'll have the rest of the independents behind me yapping at my heels." "I've gone over your list of assets." "The mansion alone is worth a fortune." "Unfortunately, these days, a house that size" "Forth-eight rooms." " it won't be easy to find a buyer." "Mr. Carrington doesn't wanna sell it." "He wants a mortgage." "Of course, but keep in mind, although we're talking about a mortgage, that mansion is collateral, and in the case of non-payment of the loan, possible foreclosure." "Mr. Lawlor, exactly how much is your bank prepared to lend us?" "I'll need a few days to study this." "I asked that all calls be" "Yeah, all right." "It's for you." "Mrs. Carrington." "Thank you." "Yes, darling, what is it?" "Danny?" "Mrs. Gordon?" "I've been looking for you." "Oh, Mr. Carrington, I've just been tidying up Danny's..." "I feel so guilty." "That beautiful little boy was my responsibility." "No, no, no, Mrs. Gordon." "If anyone's to blame, I am, for trusting his mother in the first place." "I was a fool to have believed her." "No, Mr. Carrington, you mustn't blame yourself either." "I saw her, she put on a very good act for you." "When she was alone with him, believe me, she was no mother." "Sammy Jo has no money, that means she has to go to somebody she knows." "I assure you, if that girl needs money, she'll come to us." "Blake's right, Steven." "Damn it, there's gotta be something we can do." " Have her picked up by the police?" " There's nothing we can do." "The fact is, Danny's with his mother legally." "She was granted unlimited visitation rights." "In a case like this, it's virtually impossible to get the police to act." "We may not like it, but there's nothing we can do about it." "Well, there's something I can say about it, Adam, I hold you responsible." "Come on, Steven." "Danny's my nephew, I love him." "Don't you think I want him home?" " I don't know what you- That's enough." " Where are you going?" " Don't do that to me." " What's the matter with you?" "Both of you!" "Damn it, did you hear me?" "That's enough, both of you." "We are all of us Carringtons." "And we are all of us facing desperate problems in this moment of our lives." "And it's when things are bad, when we have to struggle, that's when we Carringtons are tested." "We have to pull ourselves together." "We have to be strong." "We have to be what we always are, an example to others." "Even if that means putting on a face as we walk out our front door into the world." "Now, certainly each of us has a terrible tragedy, but we're going to beat those tragedies." "Steven, you and Claudia, your Danny will come back to you." "And you, Adam, you'll resolve your differences with Steven, and you'll be true brothers." "And as for Fallon..." "Well, we'll find Fallon." "And she and Jeff will be married." "As for me, well..." "What I've worked for all these years building Denver-Carrington, well, all those problems will be solved too." "And this bad turn that we all have taken, well, that will disappear like some ugly nightmare." "We are going to be all right." "Our family will prevail." "We Carringtons will prevail." " Robert, is there any word from Jeff Colby yet?" "All right, keep trying." "Leave a message for him to call me as soon as possible." "Oh, and get me Conrad Stilman at my bank." "Conrad." "Darling, I need a big favour." "Blake Carrington must be trying to raise money, millions." "I need to know exactly how he plans to do it." "You'll get that information for me, won't you?" "Good." " I'd like to know whether you've made up your mind." "About your singing in the new Sierra Room?" " I would love it." "Please." " Good." "Except you don't love it enough to smile." "The awful truth is, Dominique, I can't afford you." "Well, I detest awful truths." "Let's talk about beautiful possibilities." "Oh, this is ridiculous." "My budget is $2,000 a week." "Let's just forget about the money." "What are you saying?" "You're going to sing here for nothing?" "I know that I can fill a house in Paris and in Rome, but I'd like the chance to see if American audiences like my style." " They'll love you." " I certainly hope so." "When I get ready to move on," "I want to be sure that I've left my mark here in Denver." "Mr. Ballard, I am honoured that you've agreed to let me be a part of the team." "Thank you, Adam." "It'll be a mutual pleasure, I'm sure." "Well, now that, that's over with, let's get on to business." "The business of my innocence." "Correction, Mrs. Colby, your guilt." "My what?" "That's the way the district attorney's office sees it." "Our best defence is to see this through his eyes." "It's a maxim I've employed over the years and quite successfully." "In this instance, Mr. Ballard, I find that maxim totally absurd." "Do you indeed?" " Yes, I do." "Their case is purely circumstantial." "Your cheque to Mark Jennings in the amount of $100,000 may be circumstantial, but it's incriminating nevertheless." "Mr. Ballard, I am paying you a king's ransom to defend me, not convict me." "Mother, we do have your cheque to deal with, and your presence in the penthouse at the time of Jennings' death." "And your relationship with the deceased." "Mark Jennings and I may have been together occasionally, but I'd hardly call it a relationship." "The prosecution will make it appear to have been the affair of the century." "Count on that." "Excuse me." "I'd hold all your calls until we finished here." "Yes, well I still do have an empire to run that is keeping me sane." "Yes?" "Oh, fine." "Put him through, will you?" "Conrad?" "Really?" "That's wonderful news, Conrad." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "This one says that he spotted Fallon outside of Boise on the very same day that this woman claims she saw Fallon in San Francisco." "Now you know what we go through, Mr. Colby." "There's got to be a hundred letters here." "Each one placing her in different parts of the country on the same day." "How do you know which one to believe?" "You don't for sure." "You just start with the most likely, and work your way down the list." "Sergeant Roscoe." "Hold on a moment, let me get a pad and pencil." "Okay, go ahead." "You're looking for Fallon Colby, correct?" "That's right, we are." "Well, you can stop looking." "I know where she is." "Are you sure you're talking about Fallon Colby?" "She's still wearing her wedding dress." "That's right." "How many more letters, sergeant?" "How many more phone calls from sick cranks?" "It's not over yet, not by a long shot." "They're playing games with Fallon's life." "She's out there." "Somebody's got to have seen her." "I want her found." "You've got to find her, please." "You wanted to see me, Blake?" "How's my grandson's appetite tonight?" " How did you know I was with him?" " Well, he loves ketchup, and you don't normally walk around with a ketchup stain on your tie." "Little Blake's fine." "He keeps asking for Fallon." "He wants to know when Mommy's gonna come home and finish the story she was telling him." "Those two people who claimed they saw Fallon, has Sergeant Roscoe followed up on them yet?" "We both did." "Wrong girl, wrong place, wrong time." "Jeff, the reason I wanted to see you was I wanted you to know that I'm reorganizing Denver-Carrington." "Same name, new capital." "I had a meeting today with Tyson Lawlor, very promising." "And one way or another, I'm gonna land on my feet." "Oh, I know you are, Blake." "Look, all I have left is the income from my trust, it's yours if you want it." "You mean, you'd just give that money to me?" "I'll give you every cent I have if you need it." "You've been like a son to me, Jeff, always have been." "Now with Fallon not here," "I feel even closer to you." "Thank you for your offer, but no, I'll get my loan." "Meanwhile, why don't we pay a visit to Little Blake?" "Find out what story Fallon's been telling him, finish it for him, and assure him that when his mother comes home she's gonna have a new story to tell him, all right?" "All right." "Well, if Sammy Jo should contact you, please let me know immediately." "It's very important that I talk to her." "Thank you." "Steven, you're beat, it's after midnight." "Come on, try and get some sleep." "You go ahead." "I've got one more call to make." " That'll be all for now, Lin." " Yes, Mrs. Colby." "I understand that Blake Carrington's been to see you, Mr. Lawlor." "Trying to raise a little money." "Oh, more than a little, Mrs. Colby." "And I understand that you've been scouring the country, as it were, trying to put the package together." "The loan, I imagine, is a little bit risky for you to handle?" "I'm sure you understand." "Denver Lawlor is not a major bank." "We have to be very careful how we use our investors' money." "Oh, yes, because if you were one of the major banks, you would have known where to go first, to me." "Blake Carrington came to me for a bailout loan." "I'd hardly think that you would be interested in rescuing your ex-husband." "Oh." "No, I'm not, but Blake Carrington and I do have one thing left in common and that's our children." "That mansion is part of their heritage." "I'll do anything to save it for them." "Is that really true?" "Absolutely." "Because of my children, I want to be part of it." "Put up the money, all of the money." "Provided that I personally hold the paper on the loan." "Well, what's important after all, is that Mr. Carrington gets enough money and time to reorganize, so" "Yes." "You were discussing, I believe, a three-month loan with the Carrington mansion as collateral." "And in the unlikely event that the loan is not paid off in time?" "You could foreclose, or extend it." "Though I'm sure you'd prefer the latter." "Don't worry." "I'll make certain nothing happens to Blake Carrington that I'm not personally responsible for." "It's very late." "Is it?" "Yes, it is." " Come to bed." " All right, darling." "I'll be up in a little while." "Things aren't going well, are they?" "I'll be all right, it'll be fine." "I know I'm gonna get that loan from Lawlor." "But there's nothing definite yet." "It'll work." "I'll make it work." "You don't fool me, Blake." "You gave a very brave speech today, but you don't give a damn about Lawlor, the mortgage, or the Carringtons prevailing in business." "What you do care about is Fallon and Danny." "And if you could have them back, you'd give everything else up in a minute." "So don't try to hide your pain from me." "You don't deserve my pain." "Blake, we're in this together." "And when you hurt, I hurt." "And I feel responsible for part of your pain." "I brought Sammy Jo into this house and she took Danny away." "And I was married to Mark Jennings once and he came to Denver and there were so many problems." "Maybe Krystle Jennings should never have come into this family." "You are Krystle Carrington now." "And I don't wanna hear any more of this talk." "You're right about Danny and Fallon." "They do mean more to me than anything else right now." "But my business is important too." "It's as much a part of me as..." "As my hands and my legs and my entire being." "I feel so useless." "I wish there were something I could do to help." "There's nothing that you can do." "Except keep on loving me." "Now, I think I'd better get back to work." "And you and my child, go to bed." "You hear?" ""Number five:" "Regarding the acquisition of 10,000 off-shore Louisiana acres, attached are the figures supporting the recommended Colbyco bid."" "I'm preparing a memo for you which will give you an update on all the projects I've been working on." "You don't have to do that, Steven." "No loose ends." "When I leave Colbyco, it's for good." " I don't want you to leave." " I have to." "We don't conduct business in the same manner, and you can't argue that one, can you?" "Forget our differences in style or ethics." "I need you." "With my trial coming up, I don't know how much time, if any," "I'm gonna have for running Colbyco." "You can't leave." "You've still got Dex, let him run it." "Dex has got his own business interests and they don't always coincide with mine." "You're my son." "Does that really matter?" "Yes, it does." "Steven," "I did not kill Mark Jennings, but I'm accused of it, and my whole life is at stake." "Now, I can't save that and run Colbyco too." "I need you." "You can't walk out on me." "I'll stay until the trial's over." "Thank you." "Mm-hm." "Mm-hm." "Yes, I understand, Henry." "There's nothing complicated about saying no." "Obviously, it's easier than saying yes." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "Strange how quickly old friends become just acquaintances." "Well, maybe Billy Waite will come through." "I hope so." " You all right, darling?" " Yes." "You just come from the doctor's?" "No, I" " I go tomorrow." " Are you sure there's nothing wrong?" " No, nothing." "Blake, there's something I'd like you to have." "Four million, five-hundred thousand dollars?" "Yes." "Where did it come from?" "Where'd you get this money?" "It's our money, Blake." "Your engagement ring, I suppose you decided not to wear it today." "And what about your furs, the sable and the mink?" "And your bracelets and your earrings and your necklace and your pendant, what'd you do with them?" "You sold them, didn't you?" "Yes." "Well, damn it, Krystle, I told you they were not for sale." "I told you that." "What's happening to us?" "My God, what's happening to us?" "Blake, I did what I did because I love you." "Do you know how much I really love you?" "And wouldn't you have done the same thing for me?" "All I've ever wanted was for our marriage to be a partnership, a real partnership." "Can't it be that?" "I'm so sorry all this has happened." "Do you know much I love you?" "And always will, my wife, my wonderful wife." "Push them, push them down." "Thattaboy." "Thattaboy." "Now you push my fingers." "Push them down." "Yeah." "He's got a natural gift, doesn't he, huh?" "Can "Clair de lune" be far behind?" "Oh, I'd say give him another year or two." "Let's try it now, ready?" "Push." "Thattaboy." "Hello?" "Thattaboy, try it up here." "Yes, he's right here." "Jeff, it's Sergeant Roscoe." "Here we go." "Mrs. Gunnerson's chocolate chip cookies." "Come on." "Is there any word yet, sergeant?" "I'll be right there." "Jeannette, would you take my son out to play?" "Yes, Mr. Colby, of course." "Come on." "Jeff, what is it?" "Sergeant Roscoe, he's at the morgue." "He wants me to come down and identify a body." " They think they've found Fallon." " Oh, my God." "Where was the...?" "Where was she found?" "The bottom of a rock quarry north of the city." "Probably pushed there after an assault." "She was naked, badly bruised, face, torso." "Ready, sergeant?" "It's not Fallon." "Oh, the poor girl, whoever she was." "Jeff, Fallon is still alive." "You know that, don't you?" "What about the next time?" "And the time after that?" "How many more bodies?" "I don't want you to say that." "I don't even want you to think it." "You've got to believe she's all right." "Jeff, your son needs you." "Now more than ever." "All he has right now is his father." "Fallon is alive, and she will come back." "What do I tell my son, Krystle?" "What do I say when he keeps asking when his mother's coming home?" "You tell him "soon."" ""very soon."" "Thank you." "If you're that handsome man from room service, won't you please wash my back?" "What if I'm not?" "Then you'd better be my husband because he's my second choice." " I have here a solid-gold invitation." " An invitation?" "Dominique Deveraux, to sing in one of the biggest hotels in vegas." "Now?" "I'm sorry, but that's impossible." "Wait a minute, did I miss something?" "I thought you said you wanted to make your name as well-known in the States as it is in Europe." "Brady, I do, and I will." "Well, here's your chance, national exposure." "Record sales, the works, right?" "That's right." "And since you record for my company, I have something at stake here." "So, what's it gonna be?" " Denver or vegas?" " Denver." "I don't believe this, I really do not." "Brady, please don't get upset." "I promise you, I will have the future I want." "Now, that's really enough talk." "This is playtime." "So good news, Mr. Carrington." "With your mansion and grounds as collateral," "Denver Lawlor's prepared to offer you a loan of 12.2 million." "Twelve-two?" "Why, the grounds alone are worth more than that." "Money's very tight for that kind of property, Blake." "We knew that going in." "We're discussing a mortgage." "This is my best offer." "All right, 12,2." "I want you to go over those papers as quickly as possible." "And then find out how much Avril Dawson is asking for all the old Denver-Carrington assets." "Particularly the oil fields." "We'll start a buy-back as soon as we get our money." "I'll review the papers tonight, and if they're all right, I'll have you sign them." "Of course, 12,2 isn't gonna be enough, but with the 4 and a half from Krystle's furs and jewels, and the money from the antiques and the paintings, that should bring us close to 20 million." "Which is a devil of a lot more than I had when I started out 25 years ago." "You're right, I don't understand." "You could be a headliner in vegas." "You could go on and give a concert in Carnegie Hall, and then the Kennedy Centre." "Instead you choose to sing to 50 people in a Colorado bistro." "Where I choose to sing is not really the issue, is it, Brady?" "That's not really why you're angry." "You're angry because for the first time in my life," "I'm not going to do what you say, I'm going to do what I want." "Oh, come off it." "When have you ever done what I want?" "Unless it was exactly what you happened to want too." "Brady, you are so used to people letting you run their lives, that you actually believe they want what it is you give them." "I am not one of your puppets." "I never have been, I never will be." "Listen to me, Dominique." "You have a birthright, a God-given birthright, and that's your voice, a great voice, a great future." "And you're throwing it away here." "That is my business." "Because, Brady, there are birthrights and then there are birthrights." "What's that supposed to mean?" "I will tell you about it someday." "I want you to tell me about it now." "Hey, we're married, remember?" "Married people are supposed to talk things over." "You weren't so quiet when I gave you advice about your nightclubs." "Where to buy, when to buy." "You weren't so quiet when those very big bucks started coming in from those businesses I put together for you." "Brady, I have got something going right here, okay?" "I've started a secret love affair." "As a matter of fact, it's with that lifeguard down by the pool, he's very attractive." "Dominique, why do you really wanna stay?" "You've done this already." "You've played the small clubs." "You've moved up." "What's behind all of this?" "Why?" "Because." "Because of Blake Carrington, that's why." "Because before I'm through," "I'm going to have him exactly where I want him." "What the hell does Blake Carrington have to do with you?" "Tell me!" "I've got a feeling that your mind is not exactly on the game tonight, son." "I'm thinking about mother and her trial." "Oh?" "What about it?" "I'm gonna help Warren Ballard defend her, father." "And?" "And that may upset you." "Adam, your mother and I may end up fighting forever, but it's got nothing to do with our children." "Now, you've got your own relationship with her." "That's your right." "No matter what I may feel about her, it's got nothing to do with you." "You mean, you wouldn't like to see her in prison?" "Whatever my feelings are about your mother, they're my own." "Now, what do you say we shoot some real pool, huh?" "Yes, sir." "Fallon." "Fallon." "Fallon!" " Will there be anything else, Mrs. Colby?" "No, thanks, Lin." "That's all." "Alexis, Jeff is doing everything he can to find Fallon." "Steven has hired a private detective to track down Sammy Jo and his son." "Warren Ballard is an excellent attorney." "Maybe the best." " I know, Dex." "I'll be all right, really." " I hope so." "Because you're gonna be on your own for the next few days." " Why?" " I'm leaving for Wyoming this morning." " Business." " For how long?" "Well, I'm not sure, but I'll make it as quick as I can." "Dex, darling, Wyoming has a telephone service." "Please, can't you do your business from here?" "A board meeting's been called." "I've got to be there." "Oh, Dex, I really need you now." "With the trial coming up," " and Fallon and everything." " Well, you're not afraid, are you?" "Afraid?" "No, of course I'm not afraid." "You'll be fine." "Yes, I will." "So you go off to Wyoming and don't forget to pack your cowboy boots." " Am I early?" "Oh, just in the nick of time." "I've got a plane to catch." " I'll be back soon." " Good." " Adam." " Dex." "Adam, I didn't expect you for another half hour." "Yes, I know, but this can't wait." "Mother, they've set the trial date for November, I'm sorry." "November." "Well, that doesn't give us very much time, does it?" "I can ask for a postponement." "The sooner we get it over with, the better." "After all, they don't have one single piece of solid evidence." "Except a certain cheque in the amount of $100,000." "Damn that cheque." "I should have killed Mark Jennings before I ever gave it to him." "Oh, Adam, I didn't mean that." "That was just a figure of speech." " Adam, you do believe me, don't you?" " Of course I do." "But I'm your son, Mother, I'm not a jury." "Um, that'll be all for now, I'll finish by myself." "Thank you very much." " Hi." " Hi." "I wish you would please stay for tonight." "At least until after the opening, please?" "I can't stick around here and run a business in Los Angeles." "Dominique, do the show tonight, then come with me, please." "I can't." "I" " I just can't, you know that I can't." "Stay, please stay." "You're really gonna throw it away, aren't you?" "All right." "But don't expect me to stand by and watch that happen." "Oh..." "Oh, Brady." "See you later." " Evening, Mr. Carrington." " Good evening." "Mr. Carrington, hello." "Miss Deveraux, nice to see you again." "I've been hearing some fine things about you." "Have you?" "You weren't nearly so polite the last time we met." "No, I wasn't, I'm sorry, I apologise." "I'd had a very difficult day." " I'd like you to meet my wife, Krystle." " Mrs. Carrington." "Miss Deveraux, I've heard many of your records." " I'm a real fan of yours." " Thank you." "We're looking forward to seeing you perform tonight." "Thank you very much." "I hope we meet again, Miss Deveraux." "Oh, we will, Mr. Carrington." "Believe me." "She certainly does like to make cryptic exits." "Yes, intriguing." "Blake, she has something against you, I can feel it." "Nonsense, she doesn't even know me." "The very thought of you" "And I forget to do" "The little ordinary things" "That everyone ought to do" "I'm living in a kind of daydream" "I'm happy as a king" "And foolish" "Foolish though it may seem" "To me that's everything" "The mere idea of you" "The longing here for you" "You'll never know" "How slow the moments go" "Till I'm near to you" "I see your face in every flower" "Your eyes in stars above" "It's just the thought of you" "The very thought of you" "My love" "Krystle?" "Has Blake left yet?" "He left for a meeting with Avril Dawson at his bank." " Is everything all right?" " Sergeant Roscoe called." "He has someone at headquarters who saw Fallon." "Could you tell Blake that when he calls in?" " Yes, I will." " Okay, thanks." "The prices I gave you were just estimates, Blake." "I owe it to my bank's clients to get the best possible price for their assets." "Carrington One, the Hollow Hills field in Kentucky, the Deep Gorge field in Alaska, I'll give you 10 cents on the dollar." "Well, we're asking 20." "And for the China Sea oil leases, I'll give you 5 cents on the dollar." "Blake, you're out of your mind, they're worthless." "Those leases may be worthless to you, Avril." "There's a naval force sitting right on top of them." "You can't get to them, and nobody else can either." " And you can?" " I will." "I'll give you 15 cents on the dollar for the first three fields, and 5 cents for the China Sea leases." "Congratulations, you're back in business." "Eighteen million, nine-hundred thousand." "I'm really surprised, Blake." "I never would have expected Alexis to bail you out." "What are you talking about?" "The mortgage on your house, Blake." "Where do you think this money came from?" "Alexis holds the mortgage on my house?" "Yes, as a matter of fact I do." "What the hell do you think you're doing?" "Oh, well, let's just say that I'm getting even, Blake." "In three months time, when that note becomes due and you can't pay it, that house belongs to me." "Why are you doing this?" "You bought that mansion as a showplace for me, remember?" "And, by God, now it's going to be." "And when you and your precious Krystle drive away," "I'm going to stand at the door waving goodbye." "There have been times when I've wanted to kill you, but not now." "You've got a murder trial coming up." "When they find you guilty, I wanna be there and take a look at your face when you realise that you're not gonna be living in my home for the rest of your life, you're going to be in a prison." "And that's the day that I can't wait for." "Of course I picked her up." "It was raining, late, she was all alone." "Did she say anything to you?" "Not much." "She was shivering." "I pulled down a blanket and wrapped it around her." "Where'd she say she was going?" "She asked me where I was going." "I told her Portland, Oregon." "She said, "That's where I'm going too."" "Sergeant Roscoe." "Thanks." "I checked you out." "You're for real." "I'm on my way to Portland."
